Chapter 66: Stomp on His Face
When Rong Che came over, Rong Hai was covering the bloody wound on her shoulder, and the eldest princess was only sitting on top with a cold face, and it was the bloody dagger in her hand, and even her white and flawless sleeves were stained a lot.
Rong Che came over, Rong Hai frowned, and asked him gently, "Why did you still alarm you?" It's just a trivial matter, you go back first, don't alarm your mother and the rest of the house. ”
"I stopped the news from the house."
Rong Che glanced at the eldest princess who seemed to be resentful under her eyes, and only asked someone to serve Rong Hai.
Rong Hai shook his head: "This is my housework, you can step back first, it's late at night, and the eldest princess is going to rest." ”
Rong Che naturally knew that this was the eldest brother's housework, and it was inconvenient for him to act as a man. If only Qingqing was here, she would definitely be able to handle these things properly.
"Big brother also rests early."
Rong Che said this, and withdrew.
Ah Kun followed him, watched him the moonlight sprinkled on him, like frost, and asked him, "Second Master, is you going to see Miss Wei now?" ”
"At this hour, she should go to sleep, let's go later." Rong Che really wanted to see her, as if as long as he saw her and heard her breathing, he felt that there was still a meaning worth living in this boring world, otherwise he looked at his mother and father, the eldest brother and the eldest princess, and the big family in the second room...... He was bored.
"Yes. Lady Le Wu's side......"
"I have entered the capital. Let's arrange for them to live outside the house first, and the rest will be talked about after the wedding. Rong Che didn't know what he was afraid of, was he afraid that Qingqing would not understand? No, Qingqing is a smart woman, she must be able to understand her own thoughts. So what is he afraid of?
is afraid of Qingqing, so I don't bother to understand him at all.
Rong Che walked to the edge of the lake and stopped, the moon as round as a silver plate reflected in the lake, and occasionally flying insects swept by. Ripples, just like his mood at the moment.
Rong Ruizhang was also facing the moonlight at the moment, but he was looking at the moonlight at Wei Qingqing's letter to him, and he believed that there was a marriage letter attached to it.
The marriage book was only one of the complete marriage letters, and the paper of the marriage book was already yellowed, but the words on it were clearly visible, as well as the red seal of the official media at that time.
On the marriage book, the name of a man surnamed Zhang and the mother's maiden name are clearly written.
Rong Ruizhang, a man surnamed Zhang, knew that he had heard gossip, and he also knew that during the time when his father died, there was always a distant brother of his mother who came to visit, and at that time he felt that something was wrong, so he secretly asked people to check, and it turned out that his mother and he actually had a marriage contract, and later it was his mother who was greedy for glory and repented of marrying his father without authorization.
He also inquired about this matter with Mama Qin, who was beside his mother, and it was indeed true. So at that time, he tried to drive the man surnamed Zhang far out of the capital, and almost all the people who knew about it were sent away, except for Mama Qin.
But Mama Qin is her mother's confidant, and she is not stupid, so she will definitely not say this, so where did Wei Qingqing know about it? There is still a marriage certificate......
"Is it possible to exchange the face? If you wish, bring someone out now, and I will leave the rest of the marriage to you." If you don't want to, I'll post this marriage on the notice board tomorrow. Guo Qing asked him with a little impatience.
"Let Wei Qingqing talk to Ben!"
Rong Ruizhang had a calm face, and almost all of his words were squeezed out between his teeth.
Guo Qing didn't eat his set, and sneered: "Xiangye, I also collect money to do things, so I'll go on this trip, today I also made an appointment with Xiao Cui Chunfeng in the drunken Red Mansion for a while, if you don't want to hand over someone, yes, I will save trouble and leave." ”
"You ——!"
Rong Ruizhang saw that he didn't mean to talk to him at all, and was angry: "Isn't she afraid that Mama Jiang is really dead?" Mama Jiang treats her, but she has a great kindness for nurturing, and she is not afraid of thunder and thunder when she does this! ”
The corners of Guo Qing's eyes darkened a little, and he said that Wei Qingqing was thundered by the sky? Although Wei Qingqing is ruthless, she doesn't see her hurting the innocent, but this dog-like Prime Minister Rong is not only ruthless, but also poisonous.
"She's afraid of whether she's worried about me, I'm going to make an appointment with Xiaocui, if Xiangye doesn't care about Ming'er and your mother being scolded for being watery Yanghua Lao Mussel Spring, she will be thundered by the sky. I don't understand, a dying Mama Jiang, what is worth exchanging for such an interesting thing. Guo Qing muttered, and was about to leave without looking back.
Rong Ruizhang was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and seeing that Guo Qing was about to disappear into the dark night when he stepped out of the room, he clenched the letter in his hand and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll change it!" ”
Guo Qing glanced at him sideways, saw that his gloomy face didn't hold back any good fart, and yawned big: "I'm tired, I still don't change, trouble." ”
"You ......"
"Unless Xiangye is willing to give me the piece of jade on your waist, I can see that the quality is okay, and I will take it to Xiaocui, and it will be regarded as reparation." Guo Qing raised his eyebrows.
"You're presumptuous." Rong Ruizhang only felt that his face was thrown to the ground and stepped on.
Guo Qing just wanted to step on his face, not only to step on it, but also to let him hold back that bad fart.
"Do you want to give it?" Guo Qing is used to being a Jiangyang thief, but he is not afraid of Rong Ruizhang's appearance.
Rong Ruizhang stared at Guo Qing, and in the end, the jade on the waist of the river was torn off and slapped on the table.
Guo Qing was also not polite, and stepped forward to get the jade, but as if he was careless, he knocked over the teacup.
Seeing that the tea was about to ruin the letter written by Wei Qingqing, who knew that Rong Ruizhang had already prepared. Perfectly dodged the tea and looked at him with a sneer: "What, this tea is burning your hands?" ”
Guo Qing frowned secretly, Rong Ruizhang only snorted coldly, and asked someone to bring Mama Jiang over, and Guo Qing also handed over the marriage certificate.
Just when Guo Qing was about to leave with Mama Jiang, Rong Ruizhang directly smashed the teacup, and all the masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion surrounded him in an instant.
"Xiangye is Xiangye, and the means are really powerful." Guo Qing laughed, Rong Ruizhang thought that this time he would inevitably catch a turtle in the urn and solve the matter perfectly, but he saw that a fire suddenly rushed out somewhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and someone hurriedly reported: "Xiangye, the warehouse is on fire!" ”
"Warehouse?" There are few treasures in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and if these are burned, then the inside of the Prime Minister's Mansion will really be hollowed out.
"It's not just the storeroom." Guo Qing kindly reminded him, and saw someone report that the old lady's yard in the backyard was also on fire.
The old lady hid all her money in the yard, and it burned there, and Rong Ruizhang even had no last way to retreat.
In this stunned sense, Guo Qing had successfully taken Mama Jiang away.
"Xiangye, do you want to chase?" The person on the side hurriedly asked.
Rong Ruizhang snorted coldly: "Go to the Wei Mansion and the Drunken Red Mansion to arrest people, the thief wants to escape after stealing the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can it be so easy?" Wei Qingqing saved the seriously injured Mama Jiang, and she was bound to find a doctor for her, but the man was still in a hurry to go to the Drunken Red Mansion, so he didn't believe that he couldn't catch this person. As long as this man is caught and forced to confess Wei Qingqing, he doesn't believe that Wei Qingqing still has a reason to get out!
But this case, until Rong Ruizhang's people searched the Wei Mansion inside and out, and did not find the shadows of Guo Qing and Jiang Mama, let alone Xiao Cui, the top brand of the Drunken Red Mansion, when Rong Ruizhang's people rushed in, not only did they not catch Guo Qing, but they also caught Xu Chang, who was turning the clouds and rain.
The next day, when Wei Qingqing heard Lan Zhi talk about it, she couldn't help laughing.
"At that time, the people who rushed in scared Xu Chang, thinking that the Xu family was looking for it, and they didn't have time to wear their clothes, so they jumped out of the window with their bare butts, and broke their legs, not to mention, the back window of the drunken red mansion was next to the most lively street, there were a lot of people coming and going, Xu Chang couldn't run if he wanted to, he couldn't cover it if he wanted to, and he was watched for a long time, and someone notified the people of Xu's house to take him back."
Lan Zhi still couldn't stop laughing when she said it.
Lan Sheng couldn't help but purse his lips: "This time, I'm afraid that the Xu family and the Liang Zi of the Prime Minister's Mansion can't be untied." ”
"What a coincidence." Wei Qingqing couldn't help but bend her eyes, and she could even think of the way Mrs. Xu jumped to her feet.
No, just after noon, Zhu Zhu came from Zhufu with a happy face.
Although the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, for some reason she just wanted to tell Wei Qingqing: "My aunt came early in the morning. dragged her mother and grandmother to cry all morning, and now she is still crying there, judging by her meaning, she actually wants her father and uncle to participate in the performance of Prime Minister Rong. ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to participate, after all, Xu Gongzi is also at fault, and Lord Xu is afraid that he won't be able to pull this face. And Prime Minister Rong has probably already come to apologize. "Rong Ruizhang has always been very good at handling this kind of relationship, and when it is time to bow his head, he will definitely bow his head.
"Listening to my aunt's words, I went early in the morning. But my aunt is not discouraged, my cousin has to take the autumn exam in the second half of the year, and now he has broken his leg, the doctor said that he will raise it for at least three months, but the autumn is only two months, how can he catch up? When Zhu Zhu said this, his eyebrows fluttered: "If he delays this year's autumn season, he will have to take the exam after three years, and he still only has the fame of a showman." ”
"Besides, his private life is so unbearable, I wish the old lady no longer insisted that you marry him." Wei Qingqing asked her with a smile.
Zhu Zhu looked at Wei Qingqing, who was carefully picking the petals. also picked it up for her, but her tone was a little low: "I have probed my mother's meaning, but my grandmother still hopes that I can marry her, and I think that as long as I marry, I can control my cousin and let him take care of him." ”
The marriage of the big family is like this, not for the sake of profit, but also for the sake of the men in the clan, women are always used to sacrifice.
Wei Qingqing is not good at saying it, her relationship with Zhu Zhu has not yet reached the point where she can put her heart into it, and she has already made up her idea, so it depends on what Zhu Zhu will do.
Wei Qingqing stopped talking, Zhu Zhu was depressed for a while, and then became lively again, talking about the affairs of the young ladies in the capital, in her opinion, they were all boudoir interesting things, but Wei Qingqing carefully discerned the stakes.
But whenever the wind blows, these in-laws are always the first to act.
For example, the daughter of the Li family in the imperial history was recently allowed to be given to the fourth prince as a concubine.
"I don't know what the Li family thinks, I've seen Miss Li, she is very beautiful, talented, and sensible, although she is a concubine, but with her character, it is not bad to match a son of a six- or seven-grade family, why do you want to marry within the high walls?" Zhu Zhu's voice was not loud. also knew that the taboo four princes were confined in the mansion.
Wei Qingqing's hand picking the petals paused, and pretended to ask her unintentionally: "Has this matter been decided?" ”
"Probably so. A few days ago, when I went to greet my grandmother, I overheard my father talking to my mother about this. Zhu Zhu said.
"If you want to come to the Li family, you also have the Li family's considerations." Speaking of the affairs of several princes, Wei Qingqing thought that she should find an opportunity to probe Rong Che's tone.
Rong Ruizhang was reborn this time, obviously alienated the prince, which means that it was not the prince who ascended the throne in his previous life? Moreover, Rong Ruizhang's relationship with the four princes is getting closer and closer. According to what Liuli said, if Rong Ruizhang really wants to give 100,000 taels of silver to the four princes, then most of the people who became supreme in his previous life would be the indecisive four princes.
How could it be the Four Princes?
Wei Qingqing pondered slightly, not to mention that the emperor is in his prime, there are at least more than ten years left in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there are not many princes in this dynasty, there are only the crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince who are equivalent to being free-ranged. But regardless of his background or qualifications, it is not the turn of this fourth prince who has repeatedly made mistakes to be imprisoned by the emperor.
Did something go wrong?
"Qingqing, what are you thinking, you're all distracted." Zhu Zhu called her with a smile, Wei Qingqing came back to her senses, only to see her leaning her neck to listen, and asked, "Who is playing the piano here, it's so good." ”
"It's Mr. Yan."
Wei Qingqing looked at her with a yearning look on her face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan is the new gentleman invited by the eldest brother, and he is the only daughter of Emperor Yan, so he agreed to teach the eldest brother for a year by coincidence. ”
"It's her!"
Zhu Zhu had heard Yan Ruan's name, and she thought that such a noble woman was just in the script, but she didn't expect to really appear here.
Wei Qingqing saw that she didn't think that Yan Ruan was so disobedient to the four virtues as others, and remembered the sorrow that was always shrouded in fog in Mr. Yan's eyes, and smiled lightly: "In this case, let's go visit Mr. together, the eldest brother should be out of school at this time, and later he will go to Zhu's house to sort out the library for your father, and you just happen to be on the way." ”
Zhu Zhu immediately grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, lowered his face and nodded.
Soon arrived at Yan Ruan's courtyard, Wei Qingqing took a sachet made of gardenias, Yan Ruan was sitting in the pavilion near the lake and stroking the qin, Wei Xun was sitting on the other side with a scroll and watching.
Wei Xun saw Wei Qingqing and Zhu Zhu coming over, and got up with a smile: "It's not early, don't bother Mr. for too long." ”
"Yes."
Wei Qingqing responded obediently, Zhu Zhu faced Wei Xun, becoming more and more nervous, she didn't know that she was a very ordinary person, why when she saw Wei Xun, she blushed and her heart beat, and she didn't even dare to speak.
Wei Xun didn't look at her much, only politely saluted, and said goodbye to Yan Ruan.
Wei Qingqing stepped forward to take the sachet to Yan Ruan, and Yan Ruan took it in his hand and looked at it. The jade-white satin is embroidered with orchids, tied with goose-yellow tassels, and the two ends of the tassels are decorated with two small and round pearls, which are lovely and exquisite, and the fragrance of gardenias is wrapped in sachets, but it is not as strong as the ordinary smell, light and light, just right.
"You're clever in your mind."
Yan Ruan smiled, and naturally hung the sachet on his waist.
Wei Qingqing saw that she liked it, and she was also slightly relieved, and introduced Zhu Zhu to her.
Zhu Zhu is full of admiration for Yan Ruan, especially when Yan Ruan is almost ten years older than her, she respects Yan Ruan like a sister, and she chatters a lot.
Wei Qingqing was worried that Yan Ruan's quiet temperament would not be able to stand it, but she saw that she was just smiling and listening all the time, and looking at Zhu Zhu was like looking at a child who didn't know anything, so she also bent her eyes and drank tea on the side. And Zhu Zhu even missed the time to go to Zhu's house with Wei Xun.
But Zhu Zhu didn't regret it, came out of Yan Ruan's courtyard, and kept telling Wei Qingqing how much she liked this Mr. Yan and how often she would come to visit in the future.
After sending Zhu Zhu away, Wei Qingqing was about to go back, and saw Da Ming holding a roll of paper to the backyard.
"What is this?"
"This is an article written by the eldest prince." Da Ming looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile: "Since Mr. Yan came, the eldest son has become more and more diligent in his studies, and he has to write two articles every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. ”
Wei Qingqing's eyelids jumped for no reason, and asked Daming: "Has the eldest brother often mentioned Mr. Yan recently?" ”
Da Ming nodded, sensing Wei Qingqing's worries, thought about it, and said: "The eldest prince seems to respect this Mr. Yan very much, and recently he specially bought two Ruan Qin scores to study, saying that this is the case, he can also talk to Mr. Yan, saving Mr. Yan from being lonely in the Wei family." ”
After Da Ming finished speaking, he saw that Wei Qingqing's brows became tighter and tighter, and he couldn't help but say, "Miss, can you observe the small one for a few more days?" ”
"Hmm."
Wei Qingqing looked at Da Ming with appreciation, this kid is indeed smart, he just said a few words, and he guessed his thoughts.
After saying goodbye to Daming and coming back, Wei Qingqing glanced at Guo Qing in the room, and then put away her worries about Wei Xun and asked him, "Has Mama Jiang been settled?" ”
"According to your instructions, temporarily placed outside the capital, Rong Ruizhang never dreamed that you would never see Mama Jiang at all." Guo Qing said, mentioning the letter she wrote with her, vaguely revealing his worries: "Your handwriting is obvious. ”
"It's okay."
Wei Qingqing pointed to the paper on the side, Guo Qing saw that there was nothing on the paper, and Lan Sheng explained: "An hour ago, Miss still wrote a lot of words on it. ”
Guo Qingwei was stunned, there was already ink on the rivers and lakes that would disappear soon, but he didn't expect Wei Qingqing, the lady of the boudoir, to have it.
Wei Qingqing didn't explain much, this time Rong Ruizhang planted a heel in his hands, and he was bound to not give up. But she didn't plan to let him go.
"Did you bring the Miss Zhang family who asked you to bring it to the capital?"
"Don't worry, she was placed in Chongyang Building, and the best arrangements were made for her in food, clothing, housing and transportation." Guo Qing mentioned this young lady, and his eyes were full of disdain: "I found an old woman and hinted to her that she was actually born to his father and Mrs. Zhang, and she immediately agreed to go to Beijing to recognize her 'mother', and she didn't even ask the blind old lady at home, her idea is bigger than others." ”
"The old lady in her family, you ask someone to take care of one or two. When will the cherry blossom viewing be held at the Prime Minister's House? Wei Qingqing asked.
"It's tomorrow, Aunt Rong Ruizhang's Aunt Wen has prepared everything, where is Rong Ruizhang willing not to do it? He has already planned to use this flower viewing party to get all the money back. Guo Qing understood what Wei Qingqing meant, and also showed Rong Ruizhang's piece of jade, and smiled: "Don't worry, that young lady, I will keep it for you and make proper arrangements for it. ”
