Twelve: The Death of Master Xu (I)
The shopkeeper Ni's coming was not arranged in advance, but it did happen to happen. Wen Wan went to the front yard and finished talking with the shopkeeper Ni. It's been an hour back in the backyard.
Wen Wan entered the toy room and saw Ling Yuan and Qi Lin were following Ming Rui to put together a picture, and the fourteenth prince and the eighteenth prince were messing around with Ming Jin, while Ling Yu was watching.
When Ming Jin saw Wen Wan, she stood up and rushed to Wen Wan: "Mother." ”
Wen Wan opened her hand to hug him, kissed Ming Jin and scolded with a smile: "Little leather monkey, I'm not afraid to throw my mother to the ground." After speaking, he glanced at the five children at random.
The thirteenth prince Qi Lin had joy in his eyes, and the fourth prince smiled and watched the movements of the mother and son, but his eyes did not fluctuate too much, and the eighth prince had envy in his eyes.
Ling Yuan also had a kind smile on his face, he couldn't see anything ♂, there was gloom in his eyes, and he inadvertently looked at Ming Rui, who was silent and seemed to be very aggrieved.
Wen Wan hugged Ming Jin: "Let's go, let's go for lunch." ”
The fourteenth prince wanted to hold Ming Rui's hand, but Ming Rui dodged it sideways' The four princes are not surprised, in fact, it is rumored that the gentle eldest son is a little withdrawn and does not like strangers to contact. Now, it seems, that is.
Of course, there is also a rumor that Wen Wan does not like the eldest son very much, and the favorite is the younger son. Those women who are family members or have seen Wen Wan with two children naturally do not believe these rumors. But compared to the women in the harem, most people still believe these rumors (gently complaining: I don't like my own son, not neurotic). It's all a pain.
The children of the palace are strictly trained in etiquette. on the dining table. Even Ming Jin, who usually likes to mess around, is also polite in front of everyone. Eating is board by board, and there is no rudeness.
A few people thought that there was something to do after eating, but they didn't expect Wen Wan to let them go back. The children had different thoughts, and they all muttered to themselves that they would go back [but they didn't do anything].
Wen Wan first asked Ming Jin: "Who do the three cousins and the two elder brothers like the most?" Wen Wan already had a candidate in her heart, but she still got her son's answer.
Ming Jin shook his head: "I don't like it, I like my mother and brother the most." Don't like them. "Ming Jin is still very turf-conscious.
Wen Wan touched Ming Jin ♀, the kid was really keen. Knowing that someone is coming, he will take away his favor: "What about Brother Lingyu?" ”
Ming Jin thought about it for a while, and finally gave a pertinent opinion, I don't like it or hate it. It's already very good that Ming Jin can give such an answer, ♀ or because Ling Yu gets along with him a lot. Otherwise, it's definitely three words, don't like it.
Mingrui's answer was more pertinent: "Mother, the thirteen princes are a little short-sighted; The fourteenth prince has more eyes and is smart; The eighteen princes are more immature than others. The eldest cousin is thoughtful ♂, and the cousin is a little wooden, well, and has some inferiority. "This inferiority complex is not something that I just discovered now, but I have always felt that Cousin Ling Yu has some inferiority. Mingrui's so-called inferiority complex is actually a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.
Wen Wan observed Ming Rui so subtlely. Wen Wan was satisfied. I didn't ask Ming Polonium how he came to this conclusion.
After Ming Rui gave his opinion, he didn't ask Wen Wan who to choose. As his mother said, he was too young to work hard. So he didn't bother anymore. He's so smart, she should be able to analyze who is the best.
After the children returned, they were naturally asked what they were passing by. Detailed, not a single trace was missed. But in the end, I didn't ask any clues. As for Wen Wan's questions, although I analyzed and analyzed them, I don't know how Wen Wan judged them.
And Wen Wan has met a few people. There was no sound again.
The fifth prince, Yan Qihuo, felt that the more mixed the water in this pool, the better↓At this time, Yan Qihuo heard that Xu Zhongran's father, Master Xu, was gone.
Yan Qihuo was a little surprised. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for 10,000 years§ Master, this scourge looked at his body some time ago, but why did he die now. He didn't suspect that it was Xu Zhongran's hand. Because once this kind of thing is found, Xu Zhongran will not only die without a place to be buried. And the Xu family is also finished. Besides, Master Xu doesn't dare to do anything to him now.
The person who came reported said: "I heard that he died of a sudden illness." The exact news is not yet known. ”
Xia Yao saw that Wen Wan had been thinking about this issue recently, so she talked about this gossip. Regarding this news, Wen Wan also asked a rare question: "How did you die?" ”
Xia Yao whispered: "Escape from the sun and die." "To put it simply, it's exhaustion and death.
Wen Wan flashed with gossip in her eyes.
Xia Yao spoke in a very small voice: "I had sex with Xiao Luo yesterday, and I ended up ......" and died in bed.
This matter has to start from the cause of Luo's father died, and Xiao Luo has no backer, but she still has a lot of means to firmly grasp Master Xu's heart. To paraphrase a vulgar phrase, the two of them are truly in love with each other (gently complaining: true love can also make the steproom pregnant and give birth to two girls and a man, evil ...... Over the years, Xiao Luo's status in the Xu family has been as transcendent. On an equal footing with the lady of the main room.
Originally, this kind of thing had to continue, but the turning point happened two months ago, when the distant cousin of the step-room of the lord came to join her, and the cousin was a widow, nine times out of ten this year, she had never given birth, and her husband was kicked out of her husband's house as soon as he died. The mother's family couldn't tolerate it, so she went to this distant cousin. The cousin looks like a flower and a moon, and she hooked up with Master Xu within half a month of coming, and directly took in her the lady of the main room who was so angry that she fell ill § The master didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and accepted him as an aunt, and ♀ there was a pet with Xiao Luo.
A woman in her thirties who has given birth to several children can have a sense of crisis with a woman who is less than twenty years old and amorous than Roche. Then, there was the matter of medication. Then he lost his yang and died.
Wen Wan took the fan and fanned it herself: "I didn't expect Xu Zhongran to endure it for more than ten years. actually thought of such a way to kill Master Xu. It can be seen that the limit has been reached. "Little Luo is in his thirties, and Master Xu is also in his fifties, how can two old cucumbers be so unrestrained. It's strange if there are no ghosts. And Wen Wan knew that Xu Zhongran had always hated Master Xu to death. So Wen Wan is basically definitely Xu Zhongran's ghost.
Xia Yao sighed: "Does the county lord think that it was Xu Zhongran's hand?" "Xia Yao's feeling should not be Xu Zhongran's hand ∪ father, if he is investigated and punished§ Zhongran is over, the Xu family is also finished. For Xu Zhongran, the gains outweigh the losses.
Wen Wan shook her head: "He won't be stupid enough to do it himself, but as long as he condones and provokes." That's enough. Therefore, no matter how much you investigate this matter, it is impossible to find him out. If you don't even have this ability, how can you be taken by Prince Hao. ”
Xia Yao is a strange ∪ father, but it is not so easy. Not to mention the evidence, even if there is this rumor, Xu Zhongran has no place to turn over. Xia Yao still refused in her heart.
Wen Wan asked with a smile, "Before, was something happening?" Something happened that Xu Zhongran couldn't bear anymore. ”
Xia Yao nodded.
After Xu Zhongran was reinstated, because the county lord's mansion and the marquis' mansion were merged into one, the county lord did not let these people move into the mansion. So Master Xu and the others moved to the house that Xu Zhongran prepared for them, next to the county lord's mansion (ancient filial piety can really crush people. Wen Wan is also one of the people who suffers from it). The previous few years were also uneventful. But since last year, several of Xiao Luo's children have been talking about marriage§ The master has been forcing Xu Zhongran to find relatives for his two younger brothers, and he must find a good family, Luo's vision is still quite high, and he doesn't look at the situation of his own family, so he has to find a concubine of an official eunuch for his son.
Xu Zhongran didn't care at all§ The old man had conflicts with Xu Zhongran several times. But then I don't know how. A relationship with a six-rank official. The official's family agreed to marry the eldest son of Xiao Luo. Of course, it's not a concubine, it's the eldest daughter (Xiao Luo finally succumbed to reality).
Master Xu saw that the family affairs had been negotiated, and he saw that he was about to give a dowry. had no money, so he forced Xu Zhongran to give a dowry, and it was five thousand taels. For this matter, there was a trouble. It's quite fierce. But in the end, Xu Zhongran compromised. and delivered five thousand taels of silver. After handing over the money, Xu Zhongran let go§ The master was also kind to Xu Zhongran. The relationship between father and son eased a lot for a while. But at the moment when the relationship between father and son eased, Master Xu died.
Xia Yao's face was cautious, such a person ‖ his own father can do it, he is really ruthless. It seems that the county lord was right not to choose him in the first place.
Wen Wan chuckled and said, "You are a person, you really only allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps." If you let me kill Ping Xiangxi, it's done (Xia Yao and Xia Ying have been instigating Wen Wan to kill Ping Xiangxi, but Wen Wan didn't agree), I don't agree, I say that I am too tolerant of Ping Xiangxi, and complain that I am too merciful. actually gave him a huge sum of money to enjoy his old age. Now that people are killing their fathers, you have such an expression. If it weren't forced to the point where it couldn't bear it anymore. Who wants to take such a risk. "That's what a short guard! She can do anything, she can't figure it out, she kills people and sets fires, and the two women say that others deserve to die. But Wen Wan was still very proud in her heart.
Xia Yao nodded, she really felt that with this money, it was better to scoop it up and rescue those in need! To Ping Xiangxi, throwing it to a beggar is better than giving it to him: "County Lord, what Ping Xiangxi did to you back then, can the county lord bear it?" She couldn't help but watch it a few times, the county lord didn't even pay attention to it all the time∏ her heart was too wide, or ......
Wen Wan shook the fan gently, and a few strands of hair in front of her forehead also blew with the wind: "That's because although what Ping Xiangxi did was ridiculous, I was extremely disgusted." But he didn't want to kill me. What's more, he didn't kill my mother. If he kills my mother, I will make him like An's, life is worse than death, and he will be tortured. But it's not bad now. To put it simply, Wen Wan thinks that the princess's death has nothing to do with Ping Xiangxi. Mama Huang's death has nothing to do with her. The death of the deity is not directly related to him. So Wen Wan has no murderous intentions towards Ping Xiangxi.
It is said that the last time Ping Xiangxi saw Wen Wan, he was hit hard and fell ill. It's not good now, and I can't get up from bed all the time. Ping Xiangxi has already received his due retribution.
Xia Yao really didn't know that Da Luo's death was related to Master Xu (Xia Yao had done big things before, so he disdained such trivial things): "You mean, Master Xu killed his original wife Luo." Just to marry this little Roche? ”
Wen Wan lay down on the bamboo mat very comfortably: "I didn't do it directly, but I was also one of the culprits§ Zhong Ran did this, which can be regarded as a tooth for a tooth." Wen Wan said this and laughed: "It seems that Xu Zhongran is using his stepmother's hand." Sure enough, it's a good strategy to kill people with a knife, and the leaves don't stick to you!
