He sighed lightly, "Earlier, how many times did the family talk to him, but he just didn't listen. is actually close to the Wen family, now it's okay, let's get into trouble. Hmph—"

Jiang Shuhong said: "My father is not here, I have to think of ideas to save the lives of their family of five." "After all, he is the eldest son, in case he can't keep his family, Jiang Shuncheng will have to reprimand him as the eldest brother when he returns to the imperial city.

Jiang Shupeng felt very strange, "I heard that the second son of your noble son offered a dragon and a phoenix robe to the prince of King Ning to please him, and died violently in the heavenly prison. The Criminal Department confirmed Wen Qigui's 23 charges, but did not commit treason. Why did you suddenly find out about Jiangnan? ”

Shi is just a subordinate, and he still followed Jiang Shuqi and his wife to Jiangnan, and he didn't know anything.

Jiang Chuanye said: "The stone doesn't mean that the Criminal Department is eyeing Wen Qigui's line and has found out to Jiangnan. ”

Jiang Shupeng noticed what the stone said that many officials in Jiangnan were imprisoned.

Jiangnan was the fief of King Wu, and the emperor favored King Wu and gave him the richest place. And not long ago, Yuwenli just went to Jiangnan, Yuwenli returned to the imperial city on the front foot, and there was a big case in Jiangnan immediately, which is not too strange, is it not that Yuwenli has collusion with officials and businessmen in Jiangnan.

At present, the emperor has made up his mind to start with Yuwenli, but everything related to Yuwenli will be extremely cautious, and now such a thorough investigation of Jiangnan can only show that the emperor wants to leave a clearer court for King Wu.

Jiang Shupeng thought seriously, he was doing academics, and at the same time, he was also learning how to judge the situation and assess the situation, "This matter is not so simple, the Criminal Department has convicted Wen Qigui of 23 crimes." However, the sentence has been delayed, and it is still inconclusive whether it is life or death. Even if the fifth brother and his wife are imprisoned, they will not worry about their lives for a while. We are in the Imperial City, they are in Jiangnan. At this time, if you stretch your hand too long, you will incur a big disaster. Write to Jindi first and ask your father what he means before making a decision. ”

There was silence in the room.

Shen said: "Shuhong, the Cao family sent someone to talk about the completion of the marriage, Cao Yu'e was full of filial piety in early August, you are the head of the family, how can you talk to the Cao family?" ”

The Cao family is now implicated in the case of King Jing, although there is no pretense for the time being, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. These months. The whole imperial city was in a trance. There are several new things that happen every day: Jingnan Houfu was also raided and accepted by the Criminal Department for investigation, and someone revealed that Jingnan Houfu participated in the rebellion case of Ningwangfu; Dingguo Gongfu was convicted of all the crimes and was convicted of being the head of the traitorous party. The six families were convicted, and even the family of the Duchess of Dingguo was demoted to concubines, and the father and son of the Duke of Dingguo and his grandson, who was over 15 years old, were sentenced to a decisive decision, and the emperor did not have half a soft heart on this matter.

Both the Murong clan and the He clan knew that the Shen clan was a person who could take charge of things. The Cao family came to urge the completion of the marriage, and it stands to reason that this kind of internal house affairs belong to the Shen family, but at this time, she asked Jiang Shuhong what he meant, but she was afraid that she was worried about being implicated in King Jing's rebellion.

Jiang Shuhong was a little anxious, he was worried, and he thought that the Jiang family was fine, but something happened to Jiang Shuqi. "You can do it."

Shen exclaimed, "I'm looking at it?" "If it was in the past, she wouldn't have asked, but today's court is different from the past, and the dark tide is surging." What should I do? This year, there have been four happy events in a row, where can I get a suitable dowry, if it is too bad, this is not a thing that makes people chisel their backbones. ”

The Cao family didn't mention it late, and didn't wait for August to mention the marriage later, but it was brought up at this juncture, which is thought-provoking. The first is to confess the sincerity of the Cao family to marry the Jiang family, and the second is to hope that the Jiang family can help the Cao family at some time. Who doesn't know that the current emperor is very important to the Jiang family.

Shen didn't make it clear, only said that there was no dowry in the house.

Jiang Shuhong said casually, "Then you talk to the Cao family and do it next year." ”

Shen thought this was good, "I'll tell you the truth." ”

He saw that this was an excuse for the Shen family, and if one was not done well, the marriage between the Cao and Jiang families would break down. It is easy for the sons of the Jiang family to find a good family, but for the Cao family, if it is not good, it will be all over the house, and it will be exiled to the bitter cold land.

Murong only didn't speak, in the past, she might think that this kind of drag was not good, but recently, every time there was a disturbance in the imperial city, people from all rooms gathered in Muyuan Hall.

The women did not understand, so they listened to the men, and when they had finished, their hearts were reassured, and they thought that their homes were safe and that they would be fine.

Shen said to the stone: "You get up!" The chief housekeeper asked him to settle the stones, and asked him to go back to live in the original house of the fifth room, and he helped to look at the yard and do chores. ”

Shi got up with tears in his eyes, "The eldest master, the third master, you can't ignore the fifth master." It's no wonder that the fifth master was sad and didn't write back, it's been more than a year, and the family doesn't write to him, that is, the fifth wife gave birth to the tenth master, and no one in the family has a word to ......"

Zhang Shuangshuang's face changed color, and he said again and again: "What did you say?" ”

He also jumped up and shouted: "You slave opened his eyes and said nonsense, five rooms have added ten masters, but I made two baby clothes overnight, and two tiger head hats, although the gift is lighter, but I added the gift." It turned out that she hadn't done needlework for a few years, and she wanted to try her hand, so she turned around and did it for the child in her belly.

Zhang Shuangshuang said sharply: "My mother-in-law and I were ordered by the old lady to specially pick up good ginseng and bird's nest from the warehouse, a whole big bag, even if it is enough to make two months, you actually say such unconscionable words." ”

They all gave gifts to Jiangnan, although they didn't report the good news to their families, but after they heard it, they still gave it away.

Shi Shi looked blank, and thought about it seriously, remembering that the Tenth Master had indeed worn two tiger head hats with similar appearances and different colors, "but the two eyes made of black shells, and the yellow and white striped tiger head hat embroidered with a black beard." ”

He said: "No, it's not. I still have a few children to take care of, and I rushed to make it overnight, and it took me several nights to do two bodies. There is also a bright red, selected cloth with yellow stripes on a red background, and the eyes are embroidered with black thread. ”

Stone exclaimed, "The hat ...... It's not that ...... Was it made by the grandmother of the Wen family? ”

Everyone in the room came to their senses.

Shen Shi was even more surprised, "Grandma Wen ......"

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Last time, it was rumored that they were married, and Mrs. Wen and the two grandmothers also said that their daughters of the Wen family had not touched the needle and thread for ten years. ”

Jiang Shuhong pondered for a long time, but felt indescribably strange.

Jiang Chuanhei's face was angry, "What the hell is going on?" It was obviously sent by our family, but it became a gift from the Wen family. ”

He said: "It's really strange? Could it be that the dart shop that sent the thing was mistaken. ”

Chuanye said: "How can you be mistaken. Shunfeng Dart Bureau often helps the Jiang family send things back to Jinyang and Jiangnan, and even the eldest aunt has sent them back many times, and there has never been a mistake. There was no mistake on the side, but there was a mistake at the fifth uncle. ”

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "I don't think the dart game that helped deliver the goods went wrong, nor did the merchant who helped carry the goods make a mistake, someone did it on purpose." If you can't get it right, someone is trying to refute right and wrong! Her last sentence was straight to the point, and everyone in the room felt that it should be out of this area.

Jiang Shuqi before he got married, what kind of person Jiang Shuhong knew in his heart. After he got married, he changed day by day, and finally became angry with his brother, and even went to steal his sister's calligraphy and paintings. These things are not something that their Jiang family can do.

Shen said: "Stone, listen to me, after the fifth master left the imperial city and went to Yangzhou, he brought a total of five things at home. The first time, it was the Dragon Boat Festival last year, we sent three pieces of silk, a piece of sky blue material for children to wear, a piece of rose, and a piece of maroon, and two boxes of century-old ginseng, two packs of bird's nest, one pack of bird's nest is ordinary, and one pack is a good blood bird's nest ......"

The Shen family has been in the family for many years, but everything that passes through her hands can be remembered clearly.

Shi hurriedly said, "But it is contained in a large wooden box, and three pieces of cloth are wrapped in sheepskin?" ”

"Exactly."

Shi came back to his senses, "I remember, that day, it was the dart master of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau who led two people to Yangzhou Mansion." At that time, the fifth master was not there, and it was the fifth wife who came to pick up the goods, and said a few words to the people of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau. The fifth lady instructed the servants to move the goods, and when they opened it, it was indeed full, and there were also these things that the eldest lady said. But...... The fifth wife said that it was sent by the Wen family. ”

Zhang Shuangshuang had long lost care of his image, and scolded: "She farts!" Obviously, it was a box that I packed with my third aunt, how did it become something sent by the Wen family? ”

Shen's heart sank, knowing that someone was really provoking right and wrong, so he pretended to be calm and said: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I thought about the festival, and sent a box of things over, and there were also a few pieces of fabric, all of which were used for autumn clothes. That time, the third brother also joked that he was afraid that the eighth master would learn to read and write, so he specially wrapped paper and pen into the box. When Chuanye was playing with his classmates on the street, he saw a few small wooden carved waterwheels and small wooden boats for children to play in, which was very interesting, so he bought two for Qijun and Chuanjian, and also sent two to Jiangnan ......"

Stone nodded, "I've seen small waterwheels and small wooden boats. The fifth wife said that it was given by the eighth master's uncle of the Wen family. ”

No wonder Jiang Shuqi and the Jiang family are separated, and someone is actually obstructing them.

Jiang Chuansi said: "I just said that this matter is very strange, but I didn't think it was a good thing done by the Wen family." Does she want the fifth uncle to be separated from my Jiang family? ”

Jiang Shuhong closed his eyes and recited the sentence "The family is unfortunate".

The more Shen thought about it at the moment, the more angry he became, "The Double Ninth Festival in September is the birthday of the fifth master, and we have prepared gifts to send them." ”

Shi said: "September did receive something. ”

"During the New Year's Festival, I also sent a gift to Jiangnan, this time it was full of three boxes. In addition to the salted duck and salted fish in the imperial city, there are also smoked hares and cured hams that the five masters love to eat, and two boxes of food. There is also a box of children's toys and children's clothes that are made to be made. ”

Shi said: "During the New Year's Festival, even our subordinates also ate salted duck and salted fish, and I laughed at the time and said that it was like the taste of Jiangfu." The eldest girl of the fifth wife also turned her face with me, saying that the Jiang family was ruthless and unrighteous, and I still remembered it. She insisted that it was sent by the Wen family. ”

"After the festival, I heard that Mrs. Wu added Ding. We sent things to Jiangnan again, the big room, the second room, and the third room, each prepared a box of things, and even the sixth uncle and sister-in-law also prepared gifts. The old lady said that although they did not write letters to go home, we in each room had to do our part. ”
