Chapter 117: Miss Mao (1st Update)
As Linglong expected, the next morning, the ladies of Xifu went to Chunhui Hall to settle down in the morning and dusk, and Mrs. Jin's old but still bright eyes glared at Jiao's eyes a few times, if it weren't for Gu Nian's relatives who still lived in Chunhui Hall, Mrs. Jin was afraid that she would be able to scold Jiao's blood.
The son is not the fault of the father, and the daughter is not the fault of the mother. The Jin family is a dignified businessman, one of the richest in the Dawu Dynasty, and Miss Qianjin is arguing non-stop for a box of rouge gouache, even in a small place like Wu County, such a thing will become a laughing stock, not to mention that this is the capital.
Jiao secretly hated that his two daughters were unconscious, and when he came out of Chunhui Hall, he took Jin Chang and Jin Wan back to Rongyuan's cross-courtyard in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked people to close the door of Rong Yuan and reprimanded Jin Chang and Jin Wan. But the two of them have been connived at by her since childhood, where can they listen. Instead, he asked her: "Why can Linglong have it, we don't have it, the eldest aunt doesn't take the four rooms in her eyes when she sees people cooking." The things we give to our sisters are the same as those given to Sister Yuan and Sister Yu. ”
Even if everyone in Xifu calls Song Xiuzhu Mrs. Song, she is just an aunt, and this title has long become a joke among the big housewives in the capital. Jiao is Jin Chun's wife, and Jin Chang and Jin Wan consider themselves to be a step above Song Xiuzhu's two daughters.
When they ask this, their mothers, who are generally knowledgeable, will reprimand them and make clear what is at stake. Jiao's father and brother were originally to collect the money for the seal in Changzhou, and if anyone couldn't afford to pay it back, they would come to the door to beat it up, and even set fire to the house. There was a lawsuit. The main family was worried about being implicated, so they gave the Jiao family a sum of gag silver, and the Jiao family opened two shops.
After the lawsuit was concluded, it was learned that the Jin family in Wu County was discussing marriage for the concubine Jin Chun, and Jiao's brother secretly looked for an opportunity for Jin Chun to "meet" with his sister-in-law.
At that time, Jiao's was in the year of Jilu, the water was handsome, Jin Chun loved to wander around under the banner of the son of the Jin family on weekdays, and the secret men in Wu County were used to it, and when they saw Jiao's beauty, they spoke frivolously, and Jiao followed his brother's advice. and Jin Chun asked for the fan in his hand as a token of love. Ask him to come over and meet him in a few days.
Jiao's brother Jiao Hai took this fan and asked the middleman to meet the steward beside Mrs. Jin, and when the steward saw this fan, he was in a cold sweat and didn't dare to tell Mrs. Jin. I went to ask Uncle Jin Yu first. Jin pardon asked people to send five hundred taels of silver. I want to buy the fan back.
Jiao Hai originally didn't expect to marry his sister into the Jin family, but when he saw the Jin family's move so refreshing, he immediately opened his mouth. Don't want silver, as long as the Jin family gives the girl a name, otherwise let the sister hang herself on the big tree at the door of the Jin family.
Jin Yuyuan was a person who had no idea, and it was difficult to discuss the matter with the Nie family, so he had to tell Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin inquired in private, and knew that the Jiao family was a splash, and this kind of thing could really be done, even if the Jiao family didn't hang himself, Jiao Hai could hang his sister at the gate of the Jin family.
At this time, Jiao Hai took the fan and showed it around, saying that it was a Wending thing given by the Jin family, which made the entire Wuxian street know about it.
Fortunately, Jin Chun is just a concubine, and marrying the Jiao family is to pay a bride price. After Mrs. Jin learned about it, she was also helpless, so she let Jin Chun be beaten to the core, but she still agreed to this family business.
When Jin Chun and Jiao got married, the injuries on their bodies were not healed, and they were limping when they walked.
When they were in the old mansion, Jin Yuan and Jin Wan relied on Jiao's favoritism and often bullied Linglong. What they can't see the most is what they have in Linglong, but they don't have it.
Hearing her daughters say this, Jiao was also aggrieved. Although the fourth master is a concubine, she is three media and six hires, and the Jin family's big red sedan chair is carried into the door, so it is just a matter of letting her daughter live in Rongyuan, and even the box of rouge gouache has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Mrs. Jin originally wanted the Jiao family to control her daughter, but it became a grievance meeting for the mother and daughter, but at this time, her mother's relatives had not left, and she would only make jokes about her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Mrs. Jin was so angry that she asked Song Xiuzhu to immediately find two powerful housekeepers to go to Rongyuan, one in Jin Chang and Jin Wan's house, and the other in Linglong. With the housekeeper, she can not only manage those ignorant maids, but also restrain her own young lady.
At this time, Linglong asked Nie Lin to come over and ask about some business matters, and after a while, he asked: "Do you know the official eunuchs over there in Fujian, but who has a family in the capital?" ”
Nie Lin followed Nie's side, not only in and out of the palace, but also familiar with the official eunuchs in the capital, she thought about it and said: "I can't remember other official eunuchs for a while, but Jing'an Houfu is in the capital. Jing'an Hou Mao Daming was awarded the post of governor of Fujian four years ago, and he and his two sons were in Fujian, leaving only the son and the daughter of the family in the capital. ”
Linglong didn't know much about these things, and she asked, "That Mao family was sent to Fujian, but they want to fight against the Japanese?" ”
Nie Lin didn't know why Miss Jin Wu asked about the impostor's family, but this young lady was not very old, but she was transparent and wise, and she said everything.
"There are often Japanese people in Fujian who make rebellion, and the imperial court has set up a governor of Fujian to supervise Yanhai to resist the Japanese people. Among the nobles, there are very few who can hold power like the impostor. The impostor family has been favored for several generations, this generation has only seen a slight trend, until more than ten years ago, long live the reuse of the impostor, four years ago, let the Mao Marquis be a feudal official, this honor, among the nobles, there are only a few princes who can be compared with it. ”
Linglong wasn't interested in anything else, she just wanted to know if the Mao family had anything to do with Shi Er, she asked, "Does the Mao family have an in-law surnamed Shi?" ”
Nie Lin thought for a moment and shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be." ”
Linglong asked again: "The impostor family has been favored for several generations, why did this generation only see a slight trend, and why did he think of the impostor family again more than ten years ago?" ”
Nie Lin said with a smile: "Fifth Miss really regards her daughter-in-law as a capable person, who can guess the thoughts of the saint, but there is one thing, but I don't know whether it is true or false, Fifth Miss should not take it seriously when she hears it, just take it as hearsay." ”
"What's the matter? It just so happens that I don't have anything else to do, so you can just say it, just for fun. Linglong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Nie Lin again with a pair of bright eyes.
Nie Lin lowered his voice and whispered: "I heard that a young lady from the Mao family did something bad and was sent to Wuyi Nunnery outside the capital. I listened to Wen Po about this, when I was pregnant with my second child, and that Wen Po had a sister who was working in the Mao family, and said that she saw with her own eyes that the young lady of the Mao family had a big belly like a basket. ”
Speaking of this, she felt that it was a little inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing with a girl like Miss Fifth who had not yet come out of the cabinet, so she hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth: "Look at how I say such dirty words, Miss Fifth must not take it seriously." “
Linglong blinked her eyes and asked, "How old is your second child?" ”
"Sixteen."
