Chapter 116: Changning Bo Mansion
Jiang Kai is known as a know-it-all in Jiangfu, inside and outside the house, big and small things in the capital, as long as you want to know, as long as you can find out outside, he can come one by one.
Cai Lu only talked about Changning Bofu, and he smiled proudly.
In the pavilion next to the pond, Caiyin took pearl radish cake and jujube cake and a pot of tea, and Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun quietly listened to Jiang Kai talk about Changningbo's mansion.
"It is only in these years that the Changning Bo Mansion has been revived again and has been reused by the saints. It is said that a few years ago, the Changning Mansion was not in shape, and even the title was borrowed by the side branches, and it was not returned for many years. ”
As soon as Jiang Kai opened his mouth, he lost a suspense, and when he saw that Jiang Quinoa and the others were really attracted, he went on.
"At that time, the uncle was still very young, his father and mother had died, he was too young to inherit the title, and the title was borrowed by his uncle, and the earl's house was also in the hands of his uncle's family. At that time, the uncle's mansion had long since lost the scenery of the year, the inside was decaying, the poor clanks in the family sounded, the uncle and his uncle still put on a shelf all day long to love face, and they relied on pawning things inside and outside to barely support, but the family still ate big fish and meat every day. It didn't take long for the family to be poor and white, and before the uncle became an adult, the uncle's family was confiscated because of a mistake. At that time, my uncle was only eleven or twelve years old. In the winter of that year, after the uncle's mansion was taken away, the uncle lived on the streets and soon disappeared in the capital. ”
It took another four or five years for the uncle to return to the capital, and it is said that at that time he was already the uncle of a famous businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. It was his fiancée who seemed to be seriously ill, and in order to find a famous doctor to treat his fiancée, he had to endure the sorrow in his heart and take his fiancée back to the capital. Unexpectedly, the uncle was infatuated. In the end, his fiancée empathized and ran away with the adulterer. Uncle was sad and fell seriously ill. His fiancée's maiden family also felt sorry for him. He gave him all the money and business of the family, which was counted as compensation. Jiang Kai said full of envy, why didn't he have such a blessing and encounter such a good thing?
Jiang Chun hurriedly asked, "What about later?" How did the uncle become an uncle? ”
Jiang Kai worshipped: "Uncle is very smart, and he has business acumen, and he made the business bigger and bigger, and later he even became an imperial businessman." That winter. The Tartars in the north suddenly invaded the border and burned the grain and grass of our army. Floods in the south that year reduced grain production. In the north, the roads were closed due to heavy snowfall, and it was difficult to transport grain. At this time, the uncle donated the food he bought and sent the food to the border with his servants. If it weren't for the timely delivery of grain and grass by the uncle. It is impossible to say that the officers and men of our army are short of food and grass. Sleepy and tired, he was completely annihilated by the Tartars. ”
"The uncle made this merit, and the saint wanted to give a reward, and he was worried about what reward to give, when someone mentioned the title of the old uncle's family, and the saint listened to the minister's opinion, and finally decided to return the Danshu iron coupon to the uncle. Later, the uncle married the daughter of the minister of the court, oh. It seems to be the second daughter of the adult family who proposed to let the saint return his title. Jiang Kai said this, and couldn't help the envy in his heart. Said: "Uncle has been a high-ranking official since then, a beauty is in his arms, and he has a big business, he is simply a winner in life." ”
This kind of life experience is the same as what is said in the script, but it is more real than the script.
"Uncle should also be a hot figure in the capital, why would they suddenly give us a post?" This is what Jiang Quinoa can't understand the most.
Jiang Kai smiled weirdly and sold Guanzi, "Alas, if you don't say that things in the world are not perfect." ”
Jiang Chun was attracted by the story, patted him, and urged: "Tell me quickly, what's in it?" ”
"You don't know, last year, Changning Boshi went out hunting, but he met a blind bear, and the horse was frightened, and he threw him off, and just rolled down the hillside, and his head hit the stone, and his head immediately broke and bled out, and he fainted." Jiang Kai spread his hands: "Although it is auspicious to send it back, people have also become the living dead." The prince and Mrs. Shizi have been married for several years, and Mrs. Shizi has not conceived a child, and the year before last he accepted two concubines, and there has been no movement in these years. ”
"You don't know, Mrs. Changning Bo is also a tough person, and she is hard in the background, where is she willing to take the children born and raised in the outer room into the house, there have been several troubles, and the streets and alleys are spreading, I usually look at the love between the uncle and the wife, Qin Se and Ming, this is really wrong, so I can see it clearly." Jiang Kai said in a long tone with the appearance of a long-tongued woman outside, causing Jiang Quinoa and the others to laugh.
"What if you don't pick up the children from the outer room? Is it really looking at the family's cut off children and grandchildren, Changningbo's Mansion doesn't talk about this title, just says that Changningbo has so many businesses in his hands, it is all the masters of making money, how many people are worried about it? Jiang Kai raised his eyebrows, looking like he knew the inside story.
"Mrs. Chang Ningbo advocated taking a child from the clan, but Chang Ningbo suffered a lot when he was a child, and no one in the clan stood up for him at that time, and now his son is ruined, but he wants to cheapen others with the money he has saved all his life, so he is not happy. No, Chang Ningbo, who has been kind and soft all his life, hardened his attitude and asked his henchmen to secretly find his son who was left behind in the people. ”
Jiang Chun's eyes lit up, he liked to hear such stories the most, and hurriedly asked, "Has that person been recovered?" ”
Jiang Kai pouted: "This is also an unfortunate one." ”
Jiang Chun's raised eyebrows drooped down, and he sighed, "It turns out that I didn't find anyone." ”
Jiang Quinoa guessed from Jiang Kai's attitude and the flower banquet: "It should be someone who has been found, otherwise how could Changning Bofu be in the mood to hold a flower appreciation banquet." But what I'm curious about is Mrs. Changningbo's attitude, since the child born in the outer room has been found and has to be taken back to the house, how can she accept it so calmly, and she also wants to hold a flower banquet? ”
Jiang Kai looked at Jiang Quinoa appreciatively, and revealed: "Because it is not Chang Ningbo's son who has been left behind, but his grandson." ”
Jiang Chun's eyes widened.
Jiang Quinoa had an expression that should have been like this.
"Changningbo's son who was exiled among the people fell into the water when he went out to sea to fish the year before last, and he caught it after two days. is out of gas, leaving a widowed mother, daughter-in-law and a pair of children to live hard. When the people from Changningbo Mansion came to look for it, the widowed mother was already seriously ill. Bedridden. The daughter-in-law couldn't stand the poverty and ran away, leaving only two five or six-year-old children to stay at the bedside of her seriously ill grandmother. Jiang Kai said very sadly, the children of the poor are miserable.
Jiang Chun bit the handkerchief and his eyes reddened.
Even Caiyin and Cailu are distressed, and when they think of their own life experience, they all feel a little empathy.
"A pair of children?" Jiang Qu raised his eyebrows, "Then these Changning Bo Mansion won't have two more children." It's also lively. ”
"I don't know if I can feed it." Jiang Kai exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "It's all spread outside." Chang Ningbo did too many bad things back then, and now retribution is coming, let him cut off his children and grandchildren, otherwise how could he have a good and decent bear blind man and startled the son of the world and fell into the living dead. Even his exiled son suffered innocently. When you go out to sea to fish so many times, why do you fall into the water and drown when the wind is calm? ”
"Outside are betting on how old the two children will live, and it is said that someone has opened a gambling board privately to bet on this, and the stakes are still very large. Changning Bofu has also been too lucky in the past two years, and now he has taken back the heir, of course, to publicize it widely and correct his name. Tell everyone that they still have successors, so there is this flower viewing feast. Jiang Kai had already inquired about the matter clearly. Before, I thought that Jiang Quinoa and the others didn't pay attention to these, so they didn't say it, but now that they know the opportunity, they naturally say it happily.
Jiang Qu nodded knowingly.
Jiang Chun was still dazed and didn't understand: "What does it have to do with us when they take back the heir?" Why do you want to post to us? I've heard from the people in the house that such posts are generally difficult for officials below the fourth or fifth grade to receive at home. "Uncle Xun only has six grades.
Jiang Kai looked like she was very stupid, and looked at Jiang Quinoa with admiration: "Although the official position of the lord is not high, but the eldest lady of our house has been rewarded by the Holy Order, such a high honor, even few nobles in the capital have never received it." What's more......" Jiang Kaimeng stopped talking at this point, and couldn't help but secretly regret that he didn't have a doorkeeper on his lips, and almost said everything.
Jiang Quinoa didn't care about his attitude, and he knew in his heart that one of the reasons why Changning Bofu invited him was because: "The most talked about in the capital recently should be my lawsuit." Not to mention that in this murder case, the defendant is a person who has been rewarded by the imperial court, and among the people implicated are the eldest princess, Changshengyuan and other people who have attracted everyone's attention, and even the people in the capital such as the prince of the Ming Dynasty have been involved. ”
Jiang Kai didn't know that there was such a reason for this, and he listened to it suddenly, and added: "And recently, the prince of the Ming Dynasty advocated re-measuring the fields in Tongzhou, and this matter has recently made a lot of noise in the court, and many people are scolding the prince of the Ming Dynasty behind their backs. Everyone is still thinking about how he can mention this stubble, and later someone connected with the eldest lady's case, and heard that the eldest lady's previous rewards were all asked for by the prince of Ming, and I felt that there was an inside story, so they were more concerned. ”
The inside story? Jiang Qu couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it, she had only met with the prince of Ming Wang a few times, what could be the inside story in the middle?
Jiang Chun also asked stupidly, "What's the inside story?" ”
Jiang Kai stroked his forehead, thinking that Jiang Chun was an elm pimple, if he didn't have a little peachy inside, would it attract everyone's attention to this matter? In particular, the prince of Ming Wang has been promoted from the overlord of the capital to the number one candidate for the fast son-in-law of Chenglong in everyone's hearts since he caught the thief last year, and I don't know how many noble girls are always paying attention to who will marry into the Ming Wangfu in the end. The prince of the Ming Dynasty has always been cynical, often in the flowers but the leaves do not touch, finally now with a little girl to get closer, of course everyone wants to know where this little girl is sacred, what means can firmly grasp the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The people in front of him were staring at themselves, wanting to reveal what was going on, Jiang Kai was two big, and he didn't know how to reply to them, so he heard a crisp and pleasant voice sound.
"Sister, you are here, causing me to look for you everywhere."
Jiang Zhi flew into the pavilion like a flower butterfly and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”
Jiang Qu glanced at Jiang Kai warningly, and said, "It's nothing, we're inquiring about what's fun in the capital." You know, we don't know the capital. ”
Jiang Zhi glanced at her sympathetically and blurted out: "Of course, the most interesting thing in the capital recently is the flower viewing banquet in Changning Bo Mansion. I went to the school today, and the sister of the Chen family was still saying that Changning Bofu invited the recently famous Liuyun class to sing a new opera, and Mr. Zhuang Xin of the Liuyun class sang Tsing Yi the best. ”
"Mrs. Changningbo loves to raise flowers and plants, and there are a lot of precious flowers in the flower room, and the flowers are also good, so we can enjoy the flowers when the time comes."
"The chefs of Changningbo's Mansion are particularly good, and the dim sum made in the capital is the number one, and in previous years, there were people who made jokes about Changningbo, and they didn't have to go to great lengths to return the gift during the festival, Changningbo only had to send a few boxes of dim sum to make himself, and everyone was happy. When the time comes, I will also try the dim sum of Changningbo Mansion. ”
"Sister Chen said that several county lords and county lords will go to the banquet when the time comes, let me follow her at that time, and she will introduce me to meet them. My mother has also been very strict with me for the past two days, restraining me everywhere, saying that this is not good, that it is not good, that it is not good, I am almost wrong to walk. Jiang Zhi complained with joy on her face.
With Jiang Zhi's sweet complaint in her ears, Jiang Qu's mind was also on Changningbo's banquet, just now Jiang Kai was here, she didn't understand it for a while, and then she saw that Jiang Fei was speechless, she suddenly remembered that the capital is different from the countryside, and the girl here is going to say goodbye at the age of twelve or thirteen. And at her age, it is just right for the fifteen-year-old prince of Ming, no wonder these people in the capital think too much.
It's okay if everyone is just curious about her, but if they have other thoughts, when the time comes, they will be alone in someone else's mansion, and they can't say that something will happen.
There is also the mastermind behind the Tongzhou case, although she doesn't know what the purpose of those people is, but obviously she is in the way of others, and she is the target of others to eradicate, otherwise she would not have done such a bureau specifically for her.
This time she was lucky, and by chance, she donated the deed, pulled the eldest princess into the game, and attracted Zhou Yan, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, to disrupt those people's plans, so that they had to abandon the car to protect the handsome, kill the horse steward, and hide the truth, but what about next time? Guns are easy to dodge and arrows are hard to defend against, but she still has to figure out the purpose of those people. (To be continued......)
