Chapter Twenty-Four: Confrontation with Mrs. Xiangguo
Su Molai wore a plain woven gold dark pattern robe today, which made him look extra long, the color of this dress also lined him, and the folding fan in his hand was also good-looking, anyway, it was pleasing to the eye.
I waved Zhu Jin and Yugen away, then trotted over to take his hand and let him sit down on the chair, and then asked:
"How's Miss Situ?"
"It's okay, there is Imperial Doctor Xu taking care of it all the time, don't worry."
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you have an idea about Cui Yan'er?" ”
"That's why I'm in such a hurry."
I urged, "Say it quickly." ”
"Early this morning, I ordered Qin Yuan and five other guards to pretend to be green forest thieves, break into Cheng's mansion and arrest Cheng Wanli, and then lock him up in an abandoned ruined temple.
I praised, "You're fast enough!" ”
"If it weren't for your illness, I would have wanted to clean him up."
Su Molai has power, money, and people, and let him clean up a small Xuezheng as simple as playing an ant on his clothes.
Su Molai said again: "Cheng Wanli is still locked up in the broken temple by me, what do you want to do with him?" ”
"It's really unforgiving to kill him with a knife, I want him to live in purgatory on earth."
"I have dismissed him from his position in the official school, rewarded him with a bowl, and told him to ask for food in Kyoto for the next three generations."
I snorted, still not happy with it. "Don't look at the person who asks for food and lowers his head, it's not in the ninth rate to ask for food."
"Then what does Feng Ming think?"
I smiled sadly and said, "I have a lifelong friendship with the old bustard of the Lu Women's Pavilion, so I entrust Cheng Wanli to her and be a turtle father." ”
The Lu Women's Hall is a government-run brothel, and the women in it are all the female dependents of large families who have been copied from their homes, and they are punished and confiscated to the school for their crimes, and then the female officials of the school are trained and distributed to the brothels of various government camps, and these Lu women are specially used to receive dignitaries or foreign envoys.
Su Molai frowned and asked, "How did you get along with the old bustard in the brothel?" ”
"My friends are somewhat, uh, different, you'll just get used to it later."
Su Molai had a clear look.
He may think that I am a strange person, like things gather, strange things happen around strange people, and it is not strange to know strange people.
The reason why I met the bustard was because she was really an old bustard. The two of us practiced together on Mangdang Mountain, I carried the thunder for her, she folded her legs for me, and we also pecked the wolf's mouth together. Later, the bustard cultivated a human form a hundred years before me, went down the mountain to experience, and when she left, we also married the golden orchid seal, and made an appointment to be blessed and enjoy hardships from now on, and then a hundred years, she also wrote to me, telling me that she settled in the world, and temporarily worked as a bustard mother in the Lu Women's Pavilion, and she was doing well.
I lost Nedan, and after I was reincarnated, I also thought about looking for her, but unfortunately I didn't mix it up all the time, and I always felt that I didn't have the face to face the old man, so I put this matter on hold.
If it weren't for Yuzhu being sold to Changsannan Academy this time, I wouldn't want to go to her, Lao Bustard is also the number one person in their line, and it shouldn't be difficult for her to help me get someone out of Changsannan Academy.
Hey, it's a shame to think of an old friend when it's difficult, it's a shame.
Cui Yan'er's matter is gone, and the matter of saving Yuzhu is also eyebrows, and now I just think about how to save Chun Niang.
I was just about to open my mouth to talk to Su Molai about Chunniang, when Yugen knocked on the door and said, "Girl, Madame has something to discuss with you, please go over now." ”
I promised to go immediately, but I had some scheming in my heart, and I didn't know what this poisonous woman was going to do.
Su Molai suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Feng Ming, I have already told my mother about raising you as an aunt, and she has already agreed, she called you over this time to tell you about it." ”
I was a little confused for a moment.
I didn't hesitate to marry Su Molai to enter the Xiangguo Mansion was really a helpless move, at that time I thought I could go back, and it was a big deal to reconcile with him afterwards, and then lead Chunniang away and fly away.
It's different now.
Now I find that Su Molai is so cute, if I marry him now, I will definitely not be willing to leave him, then I will not stay in Xiangguo Mansion for the rest of my life and look at that poisonous woman for the rest of my life?
Could it be that I will be like those little daughters-in-law, stay up for decades, boil her to death, and boil myself into a mother-in-law, so that I can keep the clouds open and see the moon?
Love is precious, but freedom is more expensive.
Tut-tut, how do I make a trade-off?
Yugen urged again.
I decided to go to Mrs. Sangkook's first to investigate.
is still the lotus hall, and it is still the graceful and noble Mrs. Xiangguo.
But after a few rounds of private and secret confrontations with her, I was no longer in the mood to please her.
I entered the hall, strode up to Mrs. Xiangguo, clasped my fists and saluted, and said in a sonorous voice: "Little girl Chen Fengming, this is polite!" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo stepped down from her seat, took my hand affectionately, took me to the chair next to her and sat down, and said, "Why are you so haggard after not seeing Miss Chen for a few days?" Are you homesick? ”
I deliberately disgusted her and said, "I don't want to! Xiangguofu is my home, I want to stay in Xiangguofu, stay until I am old, and stay until I die. ”
Mrs. Xiangguo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, Miss Chen is really straightforward." ”
"Awards, awards."
In front of the elders, it is natural to be humble.
Mrs. Xiangguo took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, "Mo Lai told me this morning that I wanted to carry you as an aunt, I originally planned to wait for you to give birth and then do these things slowly, since Mo Lai mentioned it, let's go ahead and catch up with the schedule, what does Miss Chen think?" ”
"I can do it, just let you arrange it."
Mrs. Xiangguo said as if embarrassed: "The young master of our big family has no precedent for carrying his aunt into the door without marrying a wife, this is not in accordance with the rules, our Lord Xiangguo has always been relied on by the emperor, and he can't be criticized by his colleagues in the affairs of these women in the back house." ”
I had a hunch that the old woman was going to dig a hole for me again, "So what do you say?" ”
"I mean let Mo Lai marry a wife first, I have already chosen a good family, and I have set the daughter of the Imperial Doctor's family, Miss Xu Qianqian, she is the same age as you, and her temperament is the most gentle and obedient, and you and her will definitely get along very well in the future."
Damn!
What does this old woman mean, let me share a father-in-law with someone else?
Are you kidding!
I don't care if it's a wife or an aunt's wife, it doesn't matter if I'm a concubine, it's just a title, but let me serve a husband with others? Dream! Clothes can be borrowed to wear, and the public forgives not borrowing!
Mrs. Xiangguo continued: "After my son and Miss Xu get married, I will immediately let people carry you in through the corner gate, which can be regarded as the face of you and the Qi Palace. ”
She deliberately emphasized the words "Jiaomen" and "face", "Do you want to say that with my background, I was brought into your house from Jiaomen to be an aunt, and I was already given face, right?" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo smiled kindly, "Yes, Miss Chen is not too stupid. ”
If I had been stupid, I would have been killed by you.
I slammed the tea bowl on the table, adding to my domineering, "Mrs. Xiangguo, forgive me, please take back your face, I earn my own face, Mrs. will give me another face, if I accept it, it won't be the old saying, two skin faces?" ”
Originally, I was hesitant whether I wanted Su Mo to come or be free, but now it's okay, let him rest where he is cool, the old lady is going to fly freely.
Mrs. Xiangguo asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
I patted the cotton pillow on my stomach and said, "I'll get out of here when I give birth, this pillow... If you want this child, you will stay, and if you don't want me, I will take it away. ”
"Miss Chen is telling the truth?"
"It's true, it's true, it's more real than pearls."
"Miss Chen, don't regret it then."
"I, Chen Fengming, have always been a spit and a nail when I speak! I'm going to make a decision with you two today, I, Chen Fengming, will marry Huazi in the future, and I won't marry your noble son of Xiangguofu! ”
"Good! I have written down what Miss Chen said today. ”
"You remember, you remember, take a blank piece of paper and write it down, and I'll draw it for you."
"It couldn't be better." Mrs. Xiangguo turned her head to Zixin and instructed, "Go get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let Miss Chen sign and draw it." ”
I hurriedly said: "It's okay to sign, but you have to lift my grounding first, and you have to let me enter and leave the Xiangguo Mansion freely." ”
Mrs. Xiangguo happily agreed, "As long as Miss Chen is willing to draw a charge and does what she says, I will promise you what you say." ”
The two of us hit it off, and it was rare to have a very tacit understanding.
Mrs. Xiangguo left me for dinner, and I was so happy that I agreed.
At the dinner table, I proposed two drinks, and Mrs. Xiangguo happily agreed.
After five or six rounds of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, I found that Mrs. Xiangguo's alcohol consumption is also quite good, and I am simply not comparable, you know, I gave the nickname "Jiu Mengzi" in Mangdangshan, and it has been difficult to meet opponents in this part of drinking.
Mrs. Xiangguo raised her glass and asked, "What does Miss Chen think of my wine?" ”
I drank it down and said, "Good! Mellow and elegant, sweet and soft. ”
"The name of this wine is Hantan Xiang, which is made from the water of the high mountain Hantan, so the taste is clear but not strong, and the taste is thick but not hurtful."
I was amazed: "Good wine! Wine! ”
Mrs. Xiangguo continued to ask, "What does Miss Chen think of my son?" ”
"Good! Like this glass of wine, the more you taste, the more fragrant it is! ”
"The wine is good, and the people are good, why is Miss Chen willing to leave the table?"
I suddenly felt sad and couldn't help sighing: "If I am not lucky, I will never have a chance with him!" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo continued: "I have read countless people in my life, no matter how complex the human heart, even if this person has thousands of exquisite hearts, I can understand eight or nine times out of ten, but only Miss Chen, I have never been able to figure it out. ”
"You just see people too complicated, so you can't see through the simple."
Mrs. Xiangguo pulled the corners of her mouth and said mockingly: "I don't know if Miss Chen's mind is simple, but Miss Chen's methods are not simple. ”
I also got drunk, and began to run the carriage with my mouth full, "Mrs. Xiangguo, you are better than a monkey, and my little tricks are not a child's juggling in your eyes..." ”
