157 Another betrothal
Ji Qingchen sat in the Maha Jingshe in the courtyard of Zizhu.
She twisted the wooden Buddha beads that Kong Ming gave her that she had never left, and was talking about Buddhism with Miss Xie Qi.
At this time, I heard the mother-in-law outside quietly handing over a message to come in.
The sixth prince Guoxing, who took the ladies home, has arrived, so let the ladies not make a noise in the yard, and don't shout when there is any movement, don't mess up.
Ji Qingchen knew that Xie Guoxing was the head of the program and Miss Xie Qi's eldest brother, so he naturally wouldn't go on a business trip.
She pricked up her ears and listened to the movement outside, regretting that she didn't bring Lao Siniang this time.
Because Canglang Garden is too famous, there are not only Ji Ruiniang who have to follow her, but also the tile lady who is known as her confidant mother but has to go out for a walk if she doesn't do anything.
So Lao Siniang withdrew from the entourage list very interestingly.
She also happened to have something to do, so she sent Lao Siniang to pick up the deputy manager of the sub-stack from Quanzhou.
The second master of the Chen family seems to be interested in finding another family for Chen Wenchang in Quanzhou, and of course the people at the sub-stack point have to rush over to tell him.
Except for the footsteps of the mother-in-law being summoned, the Maha Monastery where the Xie family lived was relatively quiet.
Xie Shi Niangzi in the next room is only thirteen years old, likes to draw flowers and embroidery, and was still holding a small embroidery frame in her hand when she was invited.
Because they had seen the ceremony a long time ago, they just smiled and nodded at each other.
On the contrary, the woman quietly approached a little closer, and said:
"Master Ji, the little lady who accompanied me has a letter."
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Qingchen looked at the grub cage sent by his mother-in-law, and knew that it was Ji Ruiniang's thing.
This time, she was the host and guest, and was arranged to live in the guest house on the high ground of Canglang Garden, and the scenery from far and near was in her eyes.
slept until midnight on the first day, and Wa Niangzi and Ji Ruiniang, who were still very regular, were woken up.
They saw with their own eyes a group of guests and a group of family musicians playing sheng and beating drums in the moonlight by Tushi Lake. Singing loudly, in a word, it is a ghost crying and howling and drunken madness.
During the day, there are also owners who are amazed by their moonlight style.
At present, these two people have decided to follow the trend and be more elegant, otherwise they will be easily looked down upon by the Song people, so they don't know where to go crazy.
- Not to mention that they worked with her to solve her doubts, she had to think about this big and small.
The note attached to the cage was not Ji Ruiniang's handwriting, but obviously a man's handwriting.
The letter told her to go to the vine wall behind the ashram. See if there is a rope ladder hanging down. Hide it away.
They will settle things outside, but if the matter is urgent, let her help the two ladies of the Xie family climb up.
Other than that. If she still has a small crossbow machine hidden with her, and sees a strange man approaching, remember to use it when she should use it, and don't be polite. If something happens, he will bear it.
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Qingchen almost wanted to pull the person who wrote the note in front of him. Squirt his face with saliva.
Xie Guoxing, this is crazy, right?
She came to his sister's house to talk, who would bring a crossbow?
"What's going on outside?"
Of course, she still had a gentle smile on her face. The voice was a little twisted and stiff.
Miss Xie Qi is favored in front of Mr. Xie, but she was not raised in front of her parents, and she is the most observant.
She immediately knew that Ji Qingchen was not satisfied with the arrangements outside, and Miss Xie Qi also felt that things outside were very strange.
She immediately called the mother-in-law who had just spoken. Tell her to speak clearly.
Although the mother-in-law was brought to her sister by Xie Guoxing from the house in the past few days, she was Xie Guoxing's person, but she had always been afraid of this seventh lady. So I answered honestly.
It is said that it is the business trip of Miss Hong Gongzi's cousin, who is a distant relative of Governor Li's next door, and it seems that she is catching rape in her family's fine house.
Because in front of the ladies who have not come out of the cabinet. She didn't dare to say it so openly, only vaguely said that there was a strange man over there.
Miss Xie Shi was young, so she was immediately startled and leaned into the nurse's arms.
Ji Qingchen was strange, and vaguely remembered that Wang Shiqiang said that Li Zhifu and Han Fu were both children of the old Xun, and they had world friends when they were in the old capital city of Bianliang. There are also correspondence from time to time. belongs to the line of Prime Minister Han.
She couldn't help but exchange glances with Miss Xie Qi.
Miss Xie Qi has been in the capital for a long time, and she has been taught in front of the boss of the Xie family, and she understands the crooks and bends between the old nobles and relatives in the capital far better than her, so she sneered and said:
"Governor Li is going to take us to show your skills."
She turned her head and glanced at her cousin Xie Shi,
"I'm engaged, you're still young, and it has nothing to do with us at all. But if we have a bad reputation and spread it to the capital, I'm afraid that everyone will only remember one word of thanks. The sisters and sisters in each room have to say that they are affected by us. β
If the strange men who don't know their origin enter the house where their sisters live, they can't tell what they are.
After that, she held Ji Qingchen's hand again and said with a smile:
"Ji Niangzi, you don't have the surname Xie, this time you are wronged."
Ji Qingchen smiled, pointed to the note telling her to prepare a crossbow machine, and shook his head:
"Maybe I don't have anything to do with it, I've been in this yard a lot in the past two days, hasn't everyone seen it? Why don't Miss Seven ask? β
Miss Xie Qi listened to what she said, and knew that she was now holding the Han Mansion and discussing marriage with the Chen family, and she was a person who was easy to offend on both sides of making a living in the cracks.
Ji Qingchen saw that all the mothers-in-law and girls around them had been summoned, so he simply smiled and said:
"Originally, it was a matter of the Hong family's house, if you want to implicate our side, of course there must be an internal response in this house."
"I also heard about the Hong family's young lady......"
Miss Xie Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, looked at the people in her heart, and said with a smile:
"It's not ordinary people who can live in this purple bamboo courtyard for the past three days. Which man was tricked into coming in, did my eldest brother talk about it? That's a fool who doesn't have a long brain. In the past two days, the affairs of Miss Hong have been in an uproar, and he actually rushed to fall for this. β
Miss Ten's nurse hurriedly got up and stopped her from talking about the private meeting by the lake.
Miss Seven has a slightly short face, but fortunately, her eyebrows are beautiful, her eyes are even more charming, and her eyes are sparkling and smart, she swept the girls and mothers-in-law below, and smiled at the nurse:
"They have been probing their faces to the Hong family from time to time in the past few days. When you carry me on your back, you must have said these things over and over again seven or eight times? Fortunately, I am still a member of my Xie family, and I didn't let me hear your private discussions, otherwise I would have been beaten and driven out. β
She stared at the dozen girls gathered in the room.
"Everyone has heard the rumors of the selection of people in the palace. As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. The ladies are well, and you will be more bullying in the future, pulling your father, mother, brothers and sisters. But at this time, who dares to betray the Lord, don't say that I can't tolerate it, even your father and brother can't tolerate you! β
She said this slowly, and the mothers-in-law in the room turned white.
Ji Qingchen watched from behind the fan without saying a word, and sure enough, when he saw Miss Xie Qi's order, a short Wei servant woman was dragged out of the mother-in-law, saying that she should be on duty outside today.
The two personal girls that Xie Qi was carrying immediately stepped forward, and the servant woman confessed everything with a round of slaps:
The matter of Hong Gongzi and his cousin was known to Governor Li.
Governor Li originally planned to drive this kid away. But Hong Gongzi listened to the rumors and coaxed Ji Er Gongzi to come over, wanting to clear his reputation, and only after returning to the house could he go to Li Zhifu to beg.
Hong Gongzi eats Li Zhifu, lives in Li Zhifu, and of course there are people from Li Zhifu in the small house around him, and he will get the news immediately.
Because of the relationship between Ji Fu and Lou Yun, Li Zhifu is willing to let Hong Gongzi pit Ji Eryi.
But he was born in Xun's old family, and suddenly heard that there was still a lady of the Xie family living in the Zizhu courtyard, and he turned his mind and involved the matter of the queen.
Governor Li felt that this was an opportunity to fall from the sky,
He had already had such a plan, so there were already people in the Xie family's servants who had arranged for him, and they happened to follow him in the Maha Monastery.
Wei Pozi's face was swollen, and she whimpered and confessed the fragments she knew.
Miss Xie Qi naturally understood, and said with a smile:
"As long as the second son of Ji enters the Zizhu courtyard, he will have the little servant arranged by Governor Li to introduce Ji Er to our Xie family's house. You pretend to be the mother-in-law of the Hong family, and make up a reason outside to get drunk and make trouble and need a man to press him to lead him in? β
In this way, the people who had been ambushed by the Li Mansion outside Zizhu Courtyard had already made trouble and broke in to find someone. Isn't it a good one?
"Ji Niangzi's matter with me was also reported to the Li family by you, the bastard mother-in-law? Don't give me all the tricks yet! β
Wei knelt on the ground and said it all.
This matter was led out by the chief of Fanfang.
Fan Chang had a close relationship with Governor Li in Mingzhou City, and he had already complained to Governor Li, saying that the Ji family had taken the path of Deputy Supervisor of Mingzhou City, so he bullied others.
Because Tang Fang was friendly with the Siming Wang's family, Governor Li accepted the gift from Fan Chang and did not stand up for him immediately.
He asked his brother in the capital to inquire about the Tang Fang Ji clan in the Han Mansion.
As a result, he learned that the Han Mansion had a lot of complaints about the relationship between the Ji family and the Chen familyβLord Han was unhappy.
He set this trap and implicated the lady of the Ji family, one is that the Siming Wang family is not good at speaking for the Ji family, and the other is that Chen Hong, the head of the Chen family, must bargain over this matter.
He also heard the news that the Chen family in Quanzhou City intended to give another engagement to their second son Chen Wenchang.
In this way, not only is the family affair difficult to discuss, but the Han government can also let Wang Shiqiang come forward to persuade her to break off the marriage.
- Wei didn't know the relationship between them, but continued to say some information she knew, but Ji Qingchen couldn't hear the intention of Governor Li?
On the contrary, Miss Xie Qi suddenly heard that the Chen family was engaged to another marriage, and couldn't help but look at her. (To be continued) R580
