Chapter 451: Sending a letter

Zhao Xiu's dislike of Zhao Xiang as a person is certainly due to the anger caused by Jiang's actions, but it is more of a disdain for her own style of acting.

Zhao Xiu originally came through time, and he didn't have too deep feelings for the biological parents of the deity, not to mention that when Zhao Zhuo and his wife were killed by the Jiang family, Zhao Xiang was just a little girl and had never participated in this matter, so he couldn't be called an enemy. However, Zhao Xiang's contempt and deception of the small second room, as well as his disregard for dignity in order to seek a high-ranking marriage, and his behavior of using the small second room from time to time made Zhao Xiu extremely disdainful. She was not interested in killing this former niece, but she didn't plan to continue to let the other party respond to people in front of her, so she directly sent people to Master Jiang Qi and left them alone. Later, when he heard that Zhao Xiang had left his grandmother and gone to his uncle Jiang, Zhao Xiu decided that his decision was very correct. It's too dangerous for this kind of person who has no family affection and no moral integrity to continue to stay around, and God knows when she will get into some trouble?

But Zhao Xiu never expected that Zhao Xiang would be so ghostly. Their ancestors and grandchildren were just passing through Jining, and after staying for two or three days, Zhao Xiang actually set their sights on them. What else does she want to do? The Jiang family is her maternal uncle, even if she loses her official position, her family background is still there, and she is exactly the rich family she expects. Moreover, the Jiang family seems to attach great importance to blood relatives, otherwise it would be impossible for the Jiang family to find ways to help her life in prison after she was imprisoned. is still like this for my sister, and the biological daughter of my sister must not be too bad? Food and clothing can still be guaranteed, and there is no need to run for a living. In this kind of life, what is she not satisfied with?

Zhao Xiu was a little angry in his heart, so he asked Tu Sanyang's family: "What is wrong with Sister Xiang when she stares at us on the street?" After we settled down in the post station, did anyone from the Jiang family come over to inquire about something? "If Zhao Xiang can make someone to run errands, it is estimated that he can only find it from the Jiang family.

Tu Sanyang's family is not very clear: "She is just staring at the old lady and the girl's car on the street, and there is nothing unusual." It's just that the little one took a few more glances at her, and felt that she was much thinner than when she was in Beijing, and her face was not very good. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Could it be that Zhao Xiang is not doing well in the Jiang family?

She thought about it, and then instructed Tu Sanyang's family: "Go and inquire about the current situation of the Jiang family, don't alarm others." ”

Tu Sanyang's family took the order and left. She is now settling down in the post station, and some of them have the opportunity to talk to the mother-in-law in the post station, and if there are officials from other families who come to greet the county duchess, she can still know a few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of other families. The Jiang family is also a well-known family in Jining, and it is not difficult to inquire about the current situation of his family.

Soon she reported back: "The Jiang family has lost their official position, and they have been mourning since returning to their hometown, and the family does not go out, and others do not go to his house, and the front door is very deserted." I heard that there was a stir in their clan, saying that it was the current identity of Master Jiang, and it was inconvenient to represent the family in foreign affairs, so it was better to entrust it to others; There are also descendants who scolded the long house because of the uneven distribution of the income from the clan land; There are also people in the yamen who found out that there are too many fields in the name of the Jiang family, but they refuse to pay taxes, and clamoring for his family to make up the silver, otherwise they will be arrested...... And so on and so forth. Now the Jiang family is in Jining City, and they are also in the limelight. ”

Zhao Xiu sneered when he heard this, when the Jiang family was in power, it was naturally a guest in the family, some people were stammering, and the people in the clan were also willing to believe it, and the local yamen would not dare to ask his family to pay taxes for the land. Now that his family has lost his official, all the charms and ghosts have escaped. However, since the Jiang family was determined to forget the national law for the sake of personal feelings, they will be punished now, and they deserve it.

Zhao Xiu asked Tu Sanyang's family again: "Is there any news of Zhao Xiang?" ”

This is also where Tu Sanyang's family is confused: "It's strange to say, people outside don't know that the Jiang family lives in a cousin surnamed Zhao, but it was mentioned that his wife's distant niece has no parents and has no parents, so she ran away, but it is not surnamed Zhao, but surnamed Niu. It's just that the little one didn't find out who the other party was. ”

Zhao Xiu was a little surprised, Zhao Xiang was naturally not surnamed Niu, and he was not yet at the age of Ji Xuan. Is there another cousin girl surnamed Niu in the Jiang family, but she completely concealed Zhao Xiang's cunzài, or did she directly arrange another identity for her? It is also said that Zhao Xiang is the daughter of a great rebel minister, and her background is not very glorious, and the Jiang family was robbed of office because she was involved in rebellion, so she was taken in at home, which was easy to cause trouble, and her reputation was not good. It's not strange to change her surname and age again. But Zhao Xiang doesn't know how to feel? As soon as she got rid of her grandmother Niu, her maternal uncle asked her to change her surname to Niu. Was the Jiang family unintentional, or did he deliberately slap her in the face?

Zhao Xiu thought about it and felt that since Zhao Xiang had another identity and talked about family affairs, there was nothing difficult to think about. The Jiang family recognized her identity as a relative and told her that she was a relative, and the identity of the male family would not be too bad, otherwise wouldn't it be a smear on the face of the Jiang family? In this case, Zhao Xiang probably just came to take a look at his former opponent, and then envy and hate, even if he didn't forget it, he couldn't do anything. Zhao Xiu didn't want to pay more attention to it, so he directly let Tu Sanyang's family go down.

Unexpectedly, when she got up early the next morning, Tu Sanyang's family asked to see her again, and this time she also brought a daughter-in-law: "She is also an old person from the former Hou Mansion, and when the title of Xiaochangfang was revoked, she only left with her cronies." She was still young at that time, and she had never taken on any important errands, so she was left in the house with her family, and later lived a hard life for several years under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because she used to be a girl in Sister Xiang'er's yard, Sister Xiang recognized her when she passed by that day, and today she sent a little girl to look for her and ask her to help carry a letter to the old lady. She didn't know how to read, and the little girl couldn't speak clearly, so she didn't dare to specialize, so she came to find the little one. As soon as the little one looked at the handwriting, he knew that it was written by Sister Xiang. Because he didn't dare to disturb the old lady's tranquility, he had to come and ask the girl to show him. ”

Zhao Xiu was a little surprised, she looked at the daughter-in-law, and the latter knelt down: "The little one used to do the rough work of sprinkling and sweeping in Sister Xiang'er's yard, and I also thought that Fa'er had flattered the little master, and maybe Sister Xiang recognized the little one in this way." She was afraid that she would only rely on the old master's and servant's affection, saying that she couldn't move the small ones, and promised to reward the small silver. The little one is not the one who betrays the master for a little money, just to figure out what Sister Xiang wants to do, so he detains the little girl who sent the message, and immediately goes to find Sister-in-law Tu and asks her to lead her to see the girl. The little girl is now in the front gatehouse, and the little one asked her sister to talk to her and lead her to talk more about Sister Xiang. If the girl wants to ask her anything, the little one will call. ”

"Don't be busy just yet." Zhao Xiu waved his hand to stop her, picked up the letter, and looked at the handwriting, sure enough, it was written by Zhao Xiang, that is, it looked worse than the writing two years ago, and at a glance, he knew that it was because of neglect of practice, but it was barely neat.

And what Zhao Xiang said in the letter made people even more speechless. She said that she was sent to Jining with her grandmother Niu, and she planned to ask her uncle and aunt to take them in, but she didn't expect her uncle and aunt to agree, and the back foot ordered someone to drive Niu's out, and locked her at home and was not allowed to go out to look for her. She had a quarrel with the Jiang family over this matter, which angered them, and since then the Jiang family has become more and more mean to her, not only forcing her to change her surname, but also asking her to keep needlework for her family like a girl, not allowing her to go out, and beating and scolding from time to time. Now it is even more excessive, knowing that the son of the Lin family is a tuberculosis ghost, he is sick and dying, and he marries a wife just to be happy, and when he leaves, this wife will follow him to Huangquan. With such excessive conditions, the Lin family was just a mere official, and the Jiang family agreed for the sake of power, but refused to send their own daughter to suffer, but set their sights on her, the so-called distant niece. She has nowhere to complain about her suffering, and she just hopes that one day she can meet her relatives and save her......

Zhao Xiu thought to himself: Could it be that Zhao Xiang really regarded everyone in Jiannanhou Mansion as a fool? How could she think that such a shallow lie could be trusted?

Zhao Xiu sneered and folded the letter, and said to the daughter-in-law: "You go and call that little girl to me, and wait for me to ask her." ”

The little girl was soon brought to her. Zhao Xiu looked at her in a coarse cloth skirt with duck egg whites, covered with gray and blue armor, and her hair combed into a simple bun, except for a pair of small silver earrings on her ears, there were no accessories. This kind of dress is usually the standard for rough girls. Look at this little girl again, she just looks mediocre, and has a big cake face, her eyes are dull, and she looks a little dumb. I asked her a few more words, and she stammered and was a little confused.

This is definitely the most inconspicuous rough little girl in the Jiang family, it's hard to wonder how Zhao Xiang found such a messenger, is there no one else available to her?

The little girl didn't seem to know anything, but just truthfully recounted what Zhao Xiang ordered: find a daughter-in-law from the Hou Mansion of Jiannan, what she looks like, what clothes she wears, and what her name was when she was unmarried in the past, and then ask her to help deliver the letter - if it weren't for the fact that this daughter-in-law happened to be in charge of going out and following the car, and now she lives in the lower room in the front yard of the post station, this little girl may not be able to find her with Zhao Xiang's clues. Zhao Xiang even taught the little girl several times how to explain her intentions to the other party after finding someone, and let her memorize it directly before letting it out.

Zhao Xiu saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she ordered someone to give the little girl ten money, and asked her to tell Zhao Xiang when she went back that the daughter-in-law had already accepted the letter and said that she would find an opportunity to send it, but she couldn't guarantee when it would be delivered. When the little girl saw the money, she was very happy, and agreed without saying a word, and then left happily. When Zhao Xiu saw her like this, he knew that she was not Zhao Xiang's henchman, and Zhao Xiang was so reduced to the point that he could only find such a person to do things, which really made people not know what to say.

Zhao Xiu didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Xiang's letter, and was even more worried that if the Zhang family knew about this matter, he would relent and take the person over, and then their family would have added a dog skin plaster that couldn't be torn apart. However, if Zhao Xiang is really forced to marry a dying patient, and there is still a danger of being forced to be buried after marriage, it seems that it is not very good to ignore people like this. Zhao Xiu thought about it, so he ordered someone to send a message to Zhao Wei and asked him to come over as much as possible.

Since Zhao Xiang is the bloodline of the old county prince, Zhao Wei is now the head of the Zhao family, and it is naturally up to him to make a decision on how to deal with her.

Zhao Wei, who received the message, rushed over in less than half a day, and after asking his sister about what happened, he frowned: "Although Zhao Xiang is not a good thing, the Jiang family's behavior is too shameless. If you don't want to take Zhao Xiang in, you can just send people to the nunnery, why do you want to send your niece over knowing that it is a dead end? With such a family affair, outsiders will look down on him. ”

Regarding this matter, he didn't worry much about how to deal with it: "I have also met with a few officials of Jining Mansion in the past two days, and they get along quite well, and I have entrusted the affairs of the Mi family to others." It happened that someone wanted to send someone to Jiaozhou for official business, and he could lead the way, so I sent someone to follow. Now it happens that those people have sent a letter to the Lin family, and I don't plan to deal with them on the Jiang family's side, but if the Lin family divorces by itself, the Jiang family has nothing to complain about. As for what kind of family affairs Zhao Xiang can get married in the future, it is not something we can manage. ”

Zhao Xiu suddenly realized that there was such a simple way. Thinking about it, the Lin family shouldn't be too stupid, knowing what Jiannanhou meant, and still rushing to offend people, right? Then this matter must be solved smoothly? R1152
