Chapter 276: Accident (9)
The two are more in one, seeking to receive and order tickets~~~——
Chu Weilin looked down at herself, she went out today, she just wanted to be the ordinary dress of the ladies of wealthy merchants in Beijing, but when she thought that her passenger ship was still moored on the water, she changed her mind.
Hearing Mrs. Fei mention it, Chu Weilin said with a smile: "The husband's family is the same as the Tang family, studying some books and doing some business, our father went to the government today, and I came to find Grandma Tang." ”
"The Mansion?" Mrs. Fei was very curious.
"Yes, my father-in-law has some friendship with the Song Governor's Mansion, and he also knows Zhu Zhu's master, the Song Governor's Mansion has stepped down, and Zhu's master's book is still in Yuzhou, so my father-in-law asked our father to bring a letter." When Chu Weilin said this, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Look at me, when I came out, I only told our grandfather that I was going to come to this Yong'an Lane to find Grandma Tang, if I knew that the Tang family had moved away, I should ask our master to inquire about Master Zhu, maybe there would be some news." ”
Mrs. Fei's gaze swept over the Nanzhu button on Chu Weilin's chest, hiding the envy in her eyes, and echoed: "Yes, Master Zhu may know something." ”
Chu Weilin came to get in touch with Mrs. Fei today, so she took the initiative to say something more: "Actually, I came to find Grandma Tang and other things. My brother and sister-in-law are going to move to Yuzhou soon, and my sister-in-law is particular, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a house temporarily, so I will help pay attention to it these days, and she will be convenient to choose when the time comes. But I was actually passing through Yuzhou, where did I know whether the house here was good or bad, thinking that Grandma Tang had been in Yuzhou for many years. I should know something, so I want to ask her to help me with the details. ”
Mrs. Fei covered her lips and smiled, followed Chu Weilin's words, and said, "This matter, my sister just leaves it to me, the two of us are also fateful, it's just a gesture, I will definitely help." ”
"How embarrassing is this......" Chu Weilin excused herself a few words, and when she saw that Mrs. Fei insisted, she didn't push anymore. I gave a tired silk hollow pattern gold bracelet as a thank you gift.
Mrs. Fei's eyes were dizzy. At a glance, I knew that the bracelet was exquisitely made, and after pushing it twice, I accepted it, and quickly asked people to invite Ya Po to come. Help Chu Weilin look at the house in this alley.
It was afternoon. Three houses have already been singled out. Chu Weilin instructed Deng Ping's family, "Mom, write it down, wait for my sister-in-law to arrive." Just ask her to take a look at these places. ”
Deng Ping's family should be self-sufficient.
In the evening, Chu Weilin was about to go back to the boat, and Mrs. Fei must send her, Chu Weilin answered, and asked the Fei family's carriage to be sent to the ferry.
Waiting for Chu Weilin to get on the boat, the Fei family had to inquire about the origin and whereabouts of the passenger ship, the boatmen were all well-behaved, and they got the advice of the Deng Ping family during the day, only saying that they were coming from Beijing to the south, and they would leave the next day, and the rest of the information was not disclosed again.
Liuyu stood on the deck, and because of the angle, she could clearly see the Fei family talking to the boat family below, but the people below couldn't see her movements clearly.
Liuyu understood, and went back to the cabin and said to Chu Weilin: "Grandma's guess is not bad at all, the Fei family is inquiring about us." ”
"Reasonable," Chu Weilin smiled.
She only took two mothers-in-law and a maid to Fei's house today, and it was a bit risky to look at it, in case Mrs. Fei was a complete villain, thinking that she was a woman passing through Yuzhou who was easy to bully, it would be troublesome, so she specially said that her husband visited Zhu Zhu's book in the mansion, and said that he knew where he was going today.
In this way, Mrs. Fei didn't dare to do anything to her, and she would even think about slapping her, after all, in the eyes of people with a little money, dealing with the official family is somewhat different, if you can get on the line and take this road, the Fei family's life in Yuzhou will be more comfortable in the future.
Mrs. Fei's treatment of Chu Weilin is so warm, which cannot be explained by a sentence of "kindness and enthusiasm".
And Mrs. Fei is also a careful person, she will not be convinced of her just by Chu Weilin's few words, and she will send her in a carriage, just to know if she is really passing through Yuzhou, whether she is really from Beijing, as she said, from someone who has some relationship with the official family.
Even if she can't figure things out in the past two days, Chu Weilin has to pave the way for Xu's debut, and before there is definite evidence, Mrs. Fei can completely push Chang Yuying's matter away.
When Chang Yuyun and Chang Yuxiao returned to the boat, Chu Weilin talked about today's progress and experience, and when it came to Feilan, she remembered Li De'an's family's mention and told the two of them again.
In fact, when Fei Lan left the prison, Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun would definitely no longer be in Yuzhou, it was actually Chang Yuxiao who really wanted to guard against her, Chang Yuxiao told Fei Lan to calculate, and he refused to capsize in the same ditch, and the Xu family regarded Fei Lan as a thorn in the side, and he would definitely guard against her carefully.
Chu Weilin stopped in Yuzhou for two more days, deliberately "bumped into" Mrs. Fei, talked to her for a while, and became familiar with each other a lot, but she still didn't see Mrs. Fei's earrings and jade bracelets, and she felt a little regretful.
According to the itinerary, they could not continue to delay in Yuzhou.
Chang Yuyun left some manpower for Chang Yuxiao, and the Deng Ping family also stayed in Yuzhou because they wanted to be the middleman between the Xu family and Mrs. Fei, and after the matter was disposed of, they went south to find Chu Weilin.
Although the Deng Ping family was reluctant to leave Chu Weilin's side, if this matter was done well, it would not only be decent, but also show her ability, and the Deng Ping family knew it in their hearts and stayed as instructed.
Chang Yuyun set off at noon.
Chu Weilin thought about it, and asked Deng Ping's family to go to Yong'an Lane and bid farewell to Mrs. Fei for her.
At noon, when the boatman was about to lift anchor, a carriage stopped on the shore, and a mother-in-law of the Fei family got out of the car and said a few words to the boatman.
Chu Weilin was holding Brother Lin for fun at this time, and when she heard Bao Hibiscus come in, she handed Brother Lin over to Fang's mother, put on a cloak by herself, and walked out of the cabin with a hat.
When she stepped ashore, Chu Weilin asked the mother-in-law: "Mom, I heard from the people below that my sister came to see me off?" ”
The mother-in-law nodded again and again and pointed to the carriage: "Madam, our lady is waiting for you in the carriage." ”
Chu Weilin smiled and thanked him, and stepped on the bus.
Inside the car. Mrs. Fei greeted her with a smile, shook Chu Weilin's hand cordially, and said, "Our sisters have just become acquainted, and my sister is about to leave, which is really reluctant." My sister knows, my sister has actually moved to Yuzhou for only a year, and here, there are no sisters who can say close words, and it is hard to have such a fate as you, hey......"
The more Mrs. Fei spoke, the more regretful she became. I couldn't stop shaking my head. There was a little reluctance in the smile on his face.
Chu Weilin knew that Mrs. Fei had inquired about them in the past two days, and even stuffed the silver and went to the government to ask a few words, and the messengers who collected the money were all instructed by Master Zhu. Align the words in advance. Mrs. Fei believed Chu Weilin's fabricated identity.
Chu Weilin also sighed a few times. Seeing that Mrs. Fei still didn't show those two things today, her heart was crossed, and she decided to sprinkle some more bait: "I'm here to find Grandma Tang." But I met my sister, although it was a mistake, but it was also destined in the dark, I also wanted to have more friends with my sister, but our father set a date, and I couldn't help it. We could have stayed a few more days, but we had to rush to the old capital to visit an old friend of my father-in-law's there. The old man is about to celebrate his birthday, and his father-in-law has prepared a big gift, and it is too late to send it, and it will not be good if he is over the right day. ”
"That's right, this can't be delayed." Mrs. Fei said continuously.
Chu Weilin smiled lightly, hesitated slightly, and said to Mrs. Fei: "Six night pearls the size of pigeon eggs, my father-in-law is really willing." My mother-in-law complained that my father-in-law was still unhappy, saying that the old man was a rich man, and there were many officials and masters at the birthday banquet, and it would be a joke if he didn't give some good things. After Chu Weilin finished speaking, she didn't wait for Mrs. Fei to answer, and said busily, "Speaking of which, I estimate that my sister-in-law should go to Yuzhou in ten days and half a month, I left a letter for her, my sister-in-law is also a real person, if my sister thinks that she can intersect, please take care of my sister-in-law more." If you're a newcomer, you always have to be a guide like your sister. ”
When Mrs. Fei heard these words, she felt very comfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but smile: "Just wrap it up on me." Besides, your father-in-law is familiar with Master Zhu, and you are afraid that your brother and sister-in-law will not be able to lose? ”
"This time in a hurry, our lord is busy, otherwise he should meet his brother-in-law, wait for the next time, call my sister-in-law and uncle to talk, when the new prefect takes office, I have to move around." Chu Weilin said.
Mrs. Fei's heart was itching, and she asked in a low voice, "The new prefect ......?"
"I heard our master say, either Lord Qin or Lord Yuan, they are both young and promising."
The person who took over from Yuzhou, there is no news here, but there is some rumor in the capital, that is, Yuan Qingsong, who has a good relationship with Chang Yuyun, so this news is accurate.
Mrs. Fei kept it in mind and wanted to inquire to see if it was the same as Chu Weilin, but Chu Weilin was about to leave, and when she confirmed it, where was it too late?
In the past two days, she has believed Chu Weilin's words, and she is anxious to catch the line of the new prefect, hoping that Chu Weilin will say a few more kind words in front of her sister-in-law, and she is ruthless and takes out something from her arms.
Jin Pa folded the contents of the package, and Chu Weilin saw that Mrs. Fei was so cautious, and her heart couldn't help jumping a few times.
Jinpa opened, and inside was a pair of earrings.
It is Chang Yuying's pair of red agate earrings!
Chu Weilin recognized it at a glance, she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretended to be puzzled, and looked at Mrs. Fei.
Mrs. Fei's hands were also a little trembling, as if she was extremely reluctant, the corners of her lips trembled, and she tried to squeeze out a smile: "This earring was sent to me by a sister I married in Beijing, I like it very much, and I am reluctant to wear it on weekdays." fell in love with my sister like this, and I was going to be in the north and south again, so I wanted to keep a thought. My sister will take one, and I will keep one as evidence of our sister's heart. ”
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and said, "Such a good thing......"
"Everything is dead, and feelings are the most important thing."
Mrs. Fei was extremely sincere, Chu Weilin no longer refused, took one according to Mrs. Fei's wishes, put it away, and took off a coral earring from her ear, handed it to Mrs. Fei, and said, "This is also a memory for my sister." ”
Mrs. Fei looked at the coral earrings, whether it was the appearance or the material, they were much better than those in Yuzhou City, so that she would not be like a knife, squeezed out a few tears and said some reluctant words, and repeatedly mentioned that she would take care of Chu Weilin's sister-in-law, so she reluctantly sent Chu Weilin off the car.
Chu Weilin turned around and got on the boat step by step, and stood on the deck again and waved his hand. It wasn't until the passenger ship was offshore that he returned to the cabin.
Chang Yuyun saw her come back and laughed at her: "It's really sisterly." ”
Chu Weilin pursed her lips: "That Mrs. Fei is also a thoughtful person, she always carries things with her, I don't show some benefits to her, and she doesn't take them out." Speaking of which, I only allowed some verbal benefits, and if it weren't for the fact that we were about to leave, she would have checked it out and come back to me. ”
"Something? Second sister's? Chang Yuyun raised his eyes and looked over.
Chu Weilin bowed her head and put the red agate earrings on the table. "I've seen it." That's it. ”
Chang Yuyun's eyes were heavy, he looked at the earrings carefully, and then looked at Chu Weilin deeply: "In this case, she must have come into contact with the second sister." Sent by the Kyosato sisters. This kind of talk. I don't believe it. ”
Chu Weilin didn't believe it either.
Mrs. Hua has served Feilan, and she has also come into contact with Chang Yuying, and she knows very well that Chang Yuying is a girl in the capital. finally transported people to Yuzhou, how could they be sold in the capital again? It was Mrs. Hua who agreed, so the people in Yuzhou City would not make such a lot of effort, after all, Chang Yuying fainted at the time, and when she woke up, she didn't know how much trouble it would make.
People can't wait to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and quickly throw the trouble to the buyer.
Sailed away from Yuzhou, and had to go to the old capital to land in front, but because of the earrings, the ship stopped at the ferry port of Qingshui Town, which was half a day away from Yuzhou. Chang Yuyun asked his henchmen to send the earrings back to Yuzhou and hand them over to Chang Yuxiao, and gave a few more instructions, and then sailed again and went all the way to the old capital.
Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun can't intervene in the affairs of Yuzhou for the time being, but now that they have clues and Zhu's help, Chang Yuyun left a letter to Yuan Qingsong, who is about to take office, and with some effort, there will definitely be Chang Yuying's whereabouts.
Besides, Chang Yuxiao occasionally makes mistakes, the Xu family is not easy to fool in these things, and Chu Weilin wants to say that the Xu family is not happy in her mother's life, and her growth history is a history of struggle, and the combat effectiveness honed between a group of three aunts and six mothers-in-law is no problem to fight with Mrs. Fei.
Since she could only wait for news, Chu Weilin would not keep this worry on her mind, and her attention returned to the scenery on both sides of the strait.
As the boatman told them before, once you pass Yuzhou, the scenery on both sides of the strait is easy to see, especially at night, the lights on both sides of the strait are interesting.
Yuzhou is very close to the old capital, and it only takes a few days to enter the boundary of the old capital.
The river gradually widened, but the boats were not sparse at all, and the old capital was prosperous, which can be glimpsed.
The old capital was built near the river, there are buildings on both sides of the river, in order to facilitate the people to come and go, several ferry boats were set up to send the people across the river.
The passing passenger ships have their own ferries, and the boatmen are familiar with the way, so they moored the ships at the official ship port.
The carriage and horses were already prepared on the shore, and Chu Weilin wore a hat and followed Chang Yuyun off the boat.
The Chu family and Chang furniture in the capital are from the old capital, and the Chu family in the old capital is still thriving today, and the Chang family in the old capital went to the capital because of the old ancestor and grandfather.
The husband and wife passed by the old capital, and they had to visit the door.
The carriage only traveled for a while, and then it was replaced by a boat, Chu Weilin glanced at the boat parked at the water's edge, on which was the family crest of the Chang family, and it seemed that it was going all the way to the boat port of Changfu and then stopped.
The steward waited there, saluted respectfully, and invited them aboard.
On the river, there are many boats, Chu Weilin glanced at it, and said: "It's really the same as what the third sister said, people here mostly go in and out by boat." ”
Chang Yuyun is also the first time to experience, he has never been to the Changfu of the old capital.
In that year, the first emperor moved the capital, and the ancestor took his parents to the new capital, and gradually, the relationship with the old capital here was also estranged a lot, except for giving each other some New Year's gifts during the New Year's holidays, there were few contacts.
The old capital Chang is a family that can endure the temperament, the children study the imperial examination, do not be a big or small official, and do not think about how to rely on the prominent one in the capital, when the children go to Beijing, they will kowtow in the house, and they will not show up on weekdays, and even in the capital Changfu to do red and white ceremonies, they do not come to the door.
And in the capital, as usual Yuyun, when passing by the old capital, he went over to say goodbye according to the etiquette, and he didn't come and go with the excess.
Chu Weilin asked Chang Yuyun in private, is this situation too distant? Could it be that when the old ancestor moved to the capital, what story could not be done?
Chang Yuyun thought about it. Still shook his head: "What happened so long ago, where can I say it." However, I did hear a few words from the fifth uncle, saying that he was deliberately alienated. ”
The ancestor himself gave birth to four sons, as well as two concubines of Xing 3 and Xing 4, who passed away when they were young.
The adoptive child is not easy to raise, and the management is loose, for fear that one will accidentally spoil the child and manage it heavily. I'm afraid that I won't be able to support and hurt my feelings.
But. They are all under one roof, and the two aunts want to know the news of the child, and they can always have some way, and occasionally sneak a look. As long as the child is not allowed to see it. It doesn't hurt either. But when it was time to enter Beijing, the two aunts were reluctant.
I cried back and forth and cried, and I made trouble. But the aunt can't control the children, not to mention the children who have been adopted, they can only make trouble for each other.
In order to completely cut off the root cause, the ancestor set a rule when he left, and he was not allowed to worry about it like this, and the adoptive parents also meant the same, and the two families hit it off and alienated the relationship.
This estrangement is a little too close, and the distance between the two places has slowly become today's situation.
Chu Weilin heard some truth at the time, but it can't be said that this is the whole reason, but after all, after so many years, they are just passing by the old capital, and there is really no need to delve into it.
When the boat entered the Changfu waterway, it went all the way and stopped at the ship's port.
Chang Yuyun landed on the shore first, and then reached out to help Chu Weilin, and when Chu Weilin stood firm, he hugged Brother Lin again.
On the shore, two couples of the same age as the couple were waiting, greeted each other, said some polite words, and went deeper into the house.
It seems that because of the unenthusiastic relationship between the two families, it is the same as Chu Weilin expected, that is, to go to each courtyard to ask for an salute, receive some meeting gifts and give some meeting gifts, the itinerary rules are mechanical, and after a trip, Chu Weilin is only familiar with the young woman who came to greet her.
The ninth grandmother Yun in the fourth room of the old capital Changfu, her father-in-law was the older concubine who was passed out at the beginning, because of this relationship, the Yun family treated Chu Weilin very kindly, and even dared to tell her that if it wasn't for the father-in-law's succession, the two of them would be two concubines under the same roof.
In the evening, a table of wine was set up in the fourth room.
After three rounds of drinking, Chang Yuyun said goodbye, and did not stay in the four rooms, and asked the Yun couple to send them to the dock, board the ship and leave.
The butler escorted them all the way back to the passenger ship.
When Bao Jin dismantled Chu Weilin's head, she couldn't help but say: "Grandma, it's really rare to be like this today, and it's not like this when you usually go to relatives." When Mrs. Haoqi came to the capital before, the Zhangrong Courtyard was lively. ”
Chu Weilin smiled and said to her: "Where can it be the same, Aunt Hao Qi is the eldest aunt's own sister, and she has raised the third sister for many years, so the relationship is close." ”
Bao Jin frowned, thought about it, and still felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say it, so she simply didn't mention it.
Chu Weilin actually understood in her heart that such estrangement was by no means ordinary, but she still thought before, she was always passing by, so why bother, so she put the affairs of Changfu in the back of her mind, and asked about Li De'an's family: "Tomorrow is where is Chu Mansion, and everything is ready?" ”
"Grandma, don't worry." Li De'an's family said with a smile, "The Tuyi gift was packed up when it came, it was organized in one place, and it has been taken out, and the slave maid and a few girls have carefully checked it according to the list, and there is no problem." In the afternoon, Li De'an went to Chu Mansion to report and deliver the post, where he knew that his grandmother would pass tomorrow. ”
When Chu Weilin heard this, she felt a lot more relieved.
Early the next morning, there were people waiting at the ferry in Chu Mansion to greet them.
The two dignified-looking mothers-in-law smiled and saluted: "Aunt Lin, auntie." ”
The two mothers were both by Mrs. Haoqi's side, and they had come to the capital with Mrs. Haoqi, Chu Weilin felt cordial when she saw them, and asked, "Mother Jin, Mother Ying, did Aunt Haoqi ask you to welcome me?" ”
Mother Jin smiled and said: "Yes, Mrs. took the letter from my aunt and grandma, and I was looking forward to it, but I was really happy to know that my aunt and uncle had arrived in the old capital yesterday." ”
Ying's mother also said: "When Aunt Wan came out of the pavilion, my wife told my aunt that I must come to visit her when I pass by the old capital with my aunt in the future." Oh, isn't this blink of an eye a reality? ”
The two mothers were skillful and led them to board the boat and go to Chu Mansion along the waterway.
When the layered courtyard appeared at the end of her eyes, Mother Jin pointed and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, the front is here." ”
Chu Weilin glanced at it from a distance, and somehow, her heart moved, and she turned her head and said to Chang Yuyun: "If I hadn't knocked my head that year, I would have grown up here with the third sister." ”
If she hadn't knocked her head, she wouldn't have crossed over and become the current Chu Weilin. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the commuter pass
