Chapter 325: Returning the Pearl One
In winter, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the north wind was howling, which made the window lattices creak, but it did not prevent the girls from eating and drinking in Fan Anyang's room, as well as the gadgets that the Fan Amber brothers had collected to pass the time for Fan Anyang.
They forgot, but Fan Anyang didn't forget, so they asked people to guard the door of the East Cross Courtyard and quietly pay attention to the situation in the main house.
Rui Xue and Rui Fang volunteered, bringing melons, fruits, pickled vegetables, and a jar of wine to go to the Moon Cave Gate to chat with the gatekeepers.
When they had dinner and the main room was finished, Ruifang led the frightened Zixiu over.
"What's wrong? What happened? Ding Xiaoyan asked, Ding Xiaoan asked someone to pour her a cup of hot tea, Fan Anyang asked her to sit next to her with a small pestle, and Zixiu drank two cups of tea to ease her breath.
Qingxiu's little face was still pale, and it seemed that she was not lightly frightened, Fan Anyang turned her head and asked Ruifang, "Mama Fan hasn't come back yet?" ”
"No, girl, the old lady attacked the two Caizhi sisters, and then I don't know what Mama Rong said, so the old lady asked the eldest cousin of the big room to wait with the people around him."
How could it be related to Ding Xiu's book?
Ding Xiaoyan's sisters were full of doubts, Zixiu held the tea bowl, and trembled slightly: "Miss Fourteen is not from the eldest lord and the eldest lady. ”
Ding Xiaoyan burst out when she heard this: "How is it possible? She was born in the old mansion, how could she not be born to her aunt? ”
Zixiu shook her head, "Mama Rong said that Miss Fourteen was born by the county lord of her family and entrusted to the eldest lord to raise. ”
"How so?"
Fan Anyang held his cheeks and thought, do you want to be so bloody? The princess's daughter? Why did the lord of the county give birth to a daughter and not raise it himself, but asked someone to raise it?
"Mama Rong is from that palace?" Ding Xiaoan asked thoughtfully.
"King Lu, the emperor's little uncle, Mama Rong said that Miss Fourteen's mother is the princess of Xiuning, the daughter of King Lu." Zixiu whispered.
Fan Anyang looked at Zixiu's eyes and asked, "Looking for the eldest young master to come over, and bringing all the people who are waiting, is it to ask about this matter?" ”
Zixiu nodded, "That Mama Rong is so shameless." said in front of the old lady that Miss Fourteen had fallen in love with Second Young Master Du and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, which was a blessing he had cultivated in several lifetimes. scolded Caizhi and the two of them for not knowing how to do things, but the matter of sending a few books actually alarmed the old man. ”
"The second lady said that Caizhi and the purse they sent were hidden in the aphrodisiac and medicine, and Mama Rong pointed at Caizhi and the two of them and scolded them, saying that the two of them had a thief's heart and dared to rob a man with Miss Fourteen......"
"She can scold this kind of thing!" He Zhang's family shook their heads when they heard this, and paused for a moment: "The county lord of Xiuning married Dou Zhuan, the son of the Marquis of Pingliao of the county eighteen years ago, and the Marquis of Pingliao died six years ago, but the emperor did not let him inherit the marquis, it seems to be last year. King Lu and the county lord of Xiuning asked the Marquis of Fuyang to say Xiang, and the queen mother also put pressure, and the emperor allowed Ma Chengjue to be the county. ”
Ding Xiaole asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Because Junma is the eldest son, and the son is his third brother." He Zhang's family said: "I heard that King Lu didn't want his daughter to marry a concubine, but the lord of Xiuning wanted to marry. And go on a hunger strike! King Lu should not have been, but later Princess Lu entered the palace despite her illness and begged the Queen Mother for marriage. ”
"I remember! My mother told us about this, and warned us that we must not learn from Lord Xiuning to be so rebellious. Ding Xiao'an sisters said in unison.
"But what does this have to do with Cousin Fourteen? Why did the county lord of Xiuning entrust her to her uncle? "Is there adultery?
Zixiu replied: "This Mama Rong didn't say it, she only said that she was sent by the county lord of Xiuning to wait for Miss Fourteen. ”
Fan Anyang said slowly: "In other words, the daughter of the county lord of Xiuning has taken the identity of the fourteenth cousin, and now the county lord of Xiuning wants to recognize his daughter back?" Where is the fourteenth cousin? "That's what people want to ask. It's a pity that Zixiu doesn't have an answer, and she can't stay long, she walks on the front foot, and the second lady on the back foot sends someone to let the girls all spend the night in the East Cross Courtyard, and the Ding Xiaoan sisters are happy to obey. There was such an incident in the house, and the fourth lady was afraid that she would have to stay with the old lady to help.
They all stayed in the East Cross Courtyard, and the second lady could also take care of them, and their hearts were more steady.
The snow never stopped overnight.
Fan Anyang slept in his room, and Ding Xiao'an's sisters slept in the West Wing Warm Pavilion. Ding Xiaoyan and Ding Xiaolou are not so good and can sleep in the same bed, so the two of them live in the house and the warm pavilion where Wang Jinyun lived when he came.
When the sky was bright, Mo Xiang entered the house and waited for Fan Anyang to get up, while quietly reporting the news that Ruixue and the others had come from guarding the door.
"Cousin Fourteen has passed away a long time ago?"
"Yes, it was in the year when the eldest master was in Pingzhou, he contracted the epidemic, and when he was seriously ill, he sent a letter to the house, but the letter was not delivered to Tanglin, and the fourteenth lady had already passed away, and the eldest young master said that the family was ready to mourn! But one night, the eldest man suddenly brought back a little girl from outside, saying that she was Miss Fourteen, and asked the family to treat her like Miss Fourteen. The eldest young master also said that the eldest lady thought that the eldest lady had put the outer room and used the outer room girl to top her daughter, no matter what the eldest master said, the eldest lady didn't believe it, and the two had been in a cold war for two years! ”
Such a big thing, it is said that the child should not say it, but the disharmony between the husband and wife is too stiff, how can Ding Xiushu and others not see it, and then Uncle Ding had to confess to his wife and child, this daughter is supported by the lord of Xiuning County, Uncle Ding used to be in the officialdom in the past, he was in the territory of King Lu, and he was almost cut in half by the gangsters when he was negligent in handling the case.
"I heard that I was going to arrange for another identity to enter the Ding family, but who knew that it was such a coincidence, Miss Fourteen happened to be infected with the epidemic and did not survive, so she just let her take the identity of Miss Fourteen." Mo Xiang waited for Fan Anyang to put on her coat and help her put on her shoes.
The daughters are naturally more noble than the other identities they arranged. "Why did the lord of Xiuning put his daughter in someone else's house? also arranges identity, which means that her original identity can't see the light? Could it be that the lord of Xiuning County raised the face and gave birth to a child, right? Fan Anyang rushed out, and only then did she know how bad it was, how could she explain why she knew the face?
Mo Xiang didn't hear it, she happened to be pouring hot water, because she had to report to Fan Anyang, so she didn't bring anyone else in early in the morning to wait, mixed the water and threw a handkerchief to wet and twist the handkerchief to help Fan Anyang wipe his face, "The old lady was furious, and killed all the grandmothers around Miss Fourteen, and sent four other grandmothers to wait, Caizhi and two were also killed by the cane, and the other maids were also scolded by the cane, but I wrote it down, and when I returned to Pingzhou, I handed it over to the eldest lady to execute, and the fourteenth lady will go back to Pingzhou with the eldest young master today." ”
"What about Mama Rong?"
"Killed by a rod! The old lady said that she was talking nonsense and slandering the clan. "Beat so many people to death in one night, Mo Xiang felt uncomfortable as she spoke.
Isn't Mama Rong a nurturing grandma? If you are killed with a rod like this, you won't cause trouble, right?
Mo Xiang took a comb to help her comb her long hair, and said: "When Mama Rong entered the mansion, she signed a deed of sale, she was a subordinate in our mansion, and it was a big crime to slander the clan, and if the old lady didn't deal with her, she would cause trouble, so don't worry about the girl." ”
Fan Anyang realized that he had spoken his words, and smiled and lowered his head to pick out jewelry in the box.
There was the sound of footsteps outside, and then the sound of the maids greeting and lifting the curtains, and when Fan Anyang was thinking that this was the sister, he saw Ding Xiaoyan walking in quickly.
"Have you heard?"
"What did you hear?" Fan Anyang asked, Ding Xiaoyan walked up to her and sat down on the Jindun, "Grandmother is going to send the fourteenth back to Pingzhou!" It's almost the New Year, will it be repugnant to send her back at this time? Ding Xiaoyan frowned worriedly.
It's not whether it will be, but it will be, but Mrs. Ding is afraid that she doesn't want to see Ding Xiaoqing dangling in front of her anymore, she doesn't know how to be polite and ignorant, and she is not the blood of the Ding family, but she is doing things that ruin the reputation of the Ding family with the identity of the daughter of the Ding family.
The bead curtain moved lightly, and the Ding Xiao'an sisters also came in, followed by Ding Xiaolou, it seems that everyone got up early! But also, who can really sleep when they hear such a news?
After breakfast, after listening to the Ruixue sisters talk about what they had heard, Ding Xiaoyan and the others finally understood that the eldest lady treated her younger daughter so contradictory! is used to pampering and conniving, because her biological mother is a clan, so it is not easy to beat and scold and control, but I am afraid that among the grandmothers who were killed by the cane last night, Mama Rong is not the only one who is the lord of Xiuning, right?
The youngest daughter died of illness but was not allowed to mourn, and it was impossible to grieve for her daughter openly, because Ding Xiaoqing was not dead on the bright side, and even the beautiful funeral was not possible! In the past few years, I'm afraid that the eldest lady has hated this girl who occupies the position of her real daughter, right?
"Then this big brother came back, but he brought Fourteen back?" Ding Xiaoan asked, Rui Xue shook her head blankly, "I haven't heard anyone talk about it, but it should be brought back, right?" ”
"The eldest aunt is also pitiful, she gave birth to two sons and three daughters, and now her daughters are all gone! I don't know what my grandmother plans to do with Ding Xiaoqing. ”
Although they didn't like the girl with the name of Fourteen, they really didn't know what to call her, so Ding Xiaole mentioned that she called her Ding Xiaoqing with her name and surname, and used Fourteen to call the real Ding Xiaoqing.
The girls unanimously agreed, but the maids were not good at following them, so they still had to call Ding Xiaoqing the fourteenth miss, although Ding Xiaoyan was displeased when she heard it, but there was no way, who still let people bear the name of the fourteenth miss of the Ding family!
"That's right! Who gave that purse? ”
"Oh, it was those maids who designed two Caizhi, and the medicine given by the three grandmothers, but the medicine was stolen from Grandma Rong by those maids, and in fact, she was also built with Ding Xiaoqing, but she is different from the maids, the maids can come and go freely, she can't do it, she can't see Second Young Master Du at all, let alone design him to drug him!"
After Ding Xiaoyan and the others dispersed, Fan Anyang bit his ear with Mo Xiang, "How old is Ding Xiaoqing!" Mama Rong asked her to give her cousin spring and medicine to normal, did she want to be unmarried and pregnant? Is she red? Didn't you design that the two of them would not marry if they were caught alive in disheveled clothes? ”
Mo Xiang was full of black lines, staring at her girl, not knowing how to answer her question at all.
