Chapter 476: Exploring Jane's Mansion at Night
Meng Tianchu sent Mrs. Cheng to call Chai Meng and Tu Long to his study, and when he saw the strange expressions of the two people, he said with a smile: "You two bad guys, what do you want." ”
Chai Meng: "My lord, what can we think, we just want to ask, have you had a lot of happy events recently?" ”
Meng Tianchu gently kicked Chai Meng's ass, and Chai Meng dodged with a smile.
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, don't talk nonsense to the two of you, I'll let Wen Wen go back to the capital tomorrow and let Zhu Hao and his wife accompany him, so ah, after you finish talking about things, I'll accompany her." ”
Chai Meng: "Why did the second lady suddenly say that she was leaving?" ”
Meng Tianchu smiled: "It's not that she said to leave, it's that I saw her worry about her mother's body for a day and asked her to go back and have a look." ”
Dragon Slayer: "That's fine. ”
Chai Meng: "Slaying the dragon, it's not right for you to say this, you are just too cunning, obviously you don't think like this, but you also follow the words of the adult." ”
Seeing Chai Meng's jealous and hateful look, Tu Long smiled indifferently and said, "Isn't it wrong for adults to do this?" What's wrong with me saying that? ”
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I, I know that you are all for my good, but I want to be gentle after going through so much, knowing that everyone is really good for her, if we suspect anything, it is our fault." ”
Tu Long looked at Chai Meng and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
Chai Meng snorted and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you!" ”
Meng Tianchu and Slayer Long couldn't help but laugh at Chai Meng's seriousness.
Meng Tianchu: "Tell me, did you gain anything last night?" ”
Chai Meng looked at the slaying dragon who was still proud on the side, and said with a pout: "You say it first."
Dragon Slayer smiled and said, "Look at you, as if I'm afraid that I will tell you the same at this time." I guess adults want to hear what you say first, right? My lord. ”
Meng Tianchu pointed at the two of them and said with a smile, "When did you two start to learn to fight?" ”
Chai Meng: "Who is arguing with him." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, let's talk about the situation in the Jian family first." ”
Chai Meng: "It seems that the dragon slayer guessed correctly, then okay, I'll talk about the situation in Jian's house..."
When Chai Meng talked about following the housekeeper, Meng Tianchu said, "Then you really didn't see anyone in Miss Jane's room?" ”
Chai Meng: "No, then I followed the housekeeper and turned left and right, as if I was walking a maze." In the end, guess what, the old thing Jian Qi really hated it, and actually locked Miss Jian in a firewood room in his own courtyard, with only an old mother watching from the side. ”
Meng Tianchu was very surprised when he heard this. Standing up, he walked over to the pile of files sent by Jian Ning and rummaged through them. said: "Then Jian Qi's ass is really unclean?" ”
Dragon Slayer: "How many of the butts of the officials are clean now?" After finishing speaking, I felt that I was covering my mouth. Chai Mengle was happy, and hurriedly said: "Hahahaha, you are miserable." You dare to say that you are an official in front of an adult.... Hmph, I think you mean something else. ”
Slaying the dragon made a gesture towards Chai Meng to fight. Said: "You don't light the yin fan here, be careful of me..."
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, you two don't quarrel first, I see, this evidence probably hasn't been given to me by Miss Jane yet, I have carefully read everything here, and I have never found anything greasy." ”
Tu Long stepped forward, looked at it, and said, "Is that Jian Ning found out that her father had a problem, and then went to tell her father, his father was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he asked her to hand over the things, but she didn't do it, so she put her under house arrest." ”
Chai Meng said solemnly: "It's not just house arrest, then Jian Qi should have done something to Miss Jian." ”
Tu Long and Meng Tianchu both looked at Chai Meng, Chai Meng sighed, and said: "What I saw under the window was real, the housekeeper asked the maid to send Miss Jane away, Miss Jane lay on the bed and didn't wipe it, the old mother and the maid forced her to wipe the floor, I see that she has no strength, let those two subordinates toss, it's really pitiful." ”
Tu Long sank his face and said, "Reasoning, Jian Qi is also a literati from the imperial examination, how can he do this to his daughter?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "I think with Miss Jane's character, she shouldn't tell her father first, just now Chai Meng said that under Jian Qi's window, he heard him and the housekeeper mention a person when he talked about this matter, I think this matter is probably directly related to this person, it should be this person who revealed the news to Jian Qi." ”
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, Meng Tianchu looked at Chai Meng, Chai Meng walked to the door and opened the door to take a look, it turned out to be Zuo Jiayin, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Zuo Jiayin didn't enter the door, but smiled at the door and said, "I thought Tianchu was alone, then you guys should be busy first, and I'll come back later." ”
Meng Tianchu waved his hand at Zuo Jiayin and said, "Jiayin, you came just in time, I was about to find you, you come in." ”
Zuo Jiayin walked in the door, Chai Meng looked outside the door, and then closed the door.
Meng Tianchu: "Mrs. Cheng came just now, let me write a letter to Concubine Xian in my own name, the content..."
Zuo Jiayin said with a smile: "I probably want to ask if the matter of Long Live Lord calling Wei Guogong into Beijing is a fraud, right?" ”
Meng Tianchu nodded Zuo Jiayin's forehead and said, "You are still smart, I think this letter is not as good as you wrote it for me, you know that I have a big head when I encounter something that chews words, what do you think?" ”
Zuo Jiayin: "Do you want to be gentle and take it away with you when you leave tomorrow?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "I'm afraid Mrs. Cheng won't be able to wait for that time, so if you write it, let the two carrier pigeons have a hard trip." ”
Zuo Jiayin: "Well, that's good, then I'll write it tomorrow, I'm really busy today, Ruofan sent someone to bring a letter, saying that Li Zheng and the patriarch had a family affair for her again, she was not good at shirking, so she asked me to find a way to go in person, let me refuse for her, I just came to discuss with you, what to prepare for Wenwen, I have discussed it with Fengyi and Feiyan, and I don't have to go to the street to buy it if I have it at home, I just want to go to Yulan Village better, Ruofan has spoken, it's not good for me not to go." ”
Meng Tianchu frowned. said: "Why do you talk about family affairs, what are these people so active doing?" ”
Zuo Jiayin joked: "Who told you not to marry someone home?" I see, there are too many women you want to marry home, or you will marry home in one day, Feng Yi and I have not worked so hard, and we will arrange a cave room for you every day. ”
Tu Long and Chai Meng snickered on the side, Meng Tianchu also smiled, and said, "You know that you are happy with me." However, you can put things on hold for the time being, they will not marry Ruofan immediately, but there is one thing that you have to go. ”
Zuo Jiayin was puzzled and said, "What place?" ”
Tu Long whispered: "The political envoy Jian Qi's family." ”
Chai Meng: "How do you let the third lady go to Jian Qi's house." How dangerous is that! ”
Slaying the dragon: "I also thought of it when I saw that the lord left the third lady behind." Probably because of Miss Jane's injuries. You say, sir. ”
Zuo Jiayin was even more confused, so Meng Tianchu told Zuo Jiayin the simple situation. Then he said, "Slaying the dragon is right. Originally, I wanted Chai Meng to go, but he didn't know how to heal. It won't help you to go, so I want you and Chai Meng to go to Miss Jane's tonight, after all, she is what she is for me, I can't ignore it. But these subordinates of the prefect's yamen used to be Ke Gan's people, to be honest, I can't believe them yet, Wang Yi is also familiar with the prefect's yamen, let him go to Jianfu, that's not appropriate, and his kung fu can't reassure me, after thinking about it, I think it's still Jiayin is the most suitable. ”
Zuo Jiayin: "Then it's better for us to blatantly ask for someone, anyway, now Jian Ning is also a scribe in your mansion, giving you a favor." ”
Meng Tianchu: "It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, but now is not the time to tear my face, I'm worried about startling the snake." Now I gradually understand why Lord Banzai insists on putting Miss Jane by my side to help me, but it is difficult for Miss Jane, I really don't want to go, so Ruofan will push it until tomorrow and I will go with you. ”
Zuo Jiayin: "That's okay, just do as you say, I'll go and prepare first, you guys will be busy first, and then I'll go to accompany Wen Rou to see what else she needs to prepare."
After Zuo Jiayin left, the three of them sat down again, and slayed the dragon and said, "My lord, who is the person you just said?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "It's my subordinate, Yang Lezhi." ”
Dragon Slayer: "Oh yes, why didn't I notice him?" But how did he know the land? ”
Meng Tianchu: "Do you remember?" The last time Miss Jane said that she felt that there were some problems in the accounts, but she didn't know where the problems were, and she joked to me at the time, I don't know anything except the case a day, but now that I think about it, I think it's probably the problem of the accounts, she thinks I don't understand, so she will naturally ask the person she thinks she understands, that Yang Lezhi has been in Jiaqing Mansion for many years, and these should be familiar with these things, so there is such an opportunity to get close to the political envoy, and he will naturally not let go of such a rare opportunity. ”
Chai Meng: "Did he also peep into the location of your prefect?" ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "He has been a fellow acquaintance for so many years, and now that Ke Gan has fallen, he is the last person who has the opportunity to sit in this position, do you think he will be greedy?" ”
Chai Meng: "Then he can't sell Miss Jane!" ”
Slaying the dragon: "What does Jian Ning have to do with him, he is not related to him, why doesn't he betray it?" Jian Qi is Jian Ning's father, and people can still beat people ruthlessly. These mercenary villains are really contemptible! ”
Meng Tianchu: "The thought that Miss Jian is still suffering, my heart becomes more and more uncomfortable. By the way, Slayer Dragon will tell me about the situation on your side. ”
Tu Long: "I'm not as lucky as Chai Meng, I stayed near Yang Lezhi's house all night, he didn't go home, and then I asked him and said that he went back to Jiaqing Mansion, maybe he went home, isn't his wife and children still over there and haven't moved over?" ”
Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "Then you have to work hard tonight, I asked him to find me a few old farmers to watch the reeds together, he can't help it, I think he should come back tonight." ”
Dragon Slayer: "Okay. ”
After Chai Meng and Slayer Long left, Meng Tianchu came to the gentle courtyard, and heard a burst of laughter from afar, and the loudest laugh was naturally Feiyan, the girl.
"What is so pleased?"
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Meng Tianchu, so they got up to greet them.
said with a gentle smile: "It's not that Feiyan's girl talked about the past in her hometown, and when she talked about her ugly things, everyone laughed." Tian Chu. Are you done? ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and nodded, asked everyone to sit down, and sat beside Wen Wen himself, seeing that Xia Fengyi's expression was still a little haggard, he said, "Let Jiayin show you?" Why is the complexion still bad? ”
Zuo Jiayin: "I've seen it, it seems that the baby in Fengyi's belly is relatively bad, so she is also working hard as a mother, but she is about to give birth in two months." It's good to be born, Feng Yi is already petite, so naturally it is harder. ”
Meng Tianchu: "Then you still have to rest more and eat well." ”
Xia Fengyi nodded softly. said: "It's not in the way, Feiyan was still saying that her mother was still working in the field when she gave birth to her." Where am I so delicate? ”
Feiyan smiled and said, "Not really. My mother said that she was in the field when she gave birth to me, and she was still in front of the dung pit when she gave birth to my brother, and she almost gave birth to my brother in the dung pit. ”
Listen, everybody. Laughed again. Meng Tianchu looked at Gentleness on the side, worried that she would be sad. Seeing that she was also smiling happily, I was relieved.
However, Meng Tianchu still changed the topic and said: "Gentleness is going to leave tomorrow, let the kitchen cook some delicious meals at night, I haven't drunk with the four of you for a long time, and I will be hungry when I think about it." ”
Gentleness: "Don't you go to Jane's Mansion at night?" ”
When Meng Tianchu heard this, he knew that Zuo Jiayin had told everyone, so he didn't hide it, and said, "Then let's wait for her to come back." ”
Gentle: "I just want to wait for you to come, discuss with you, just let me go with Jiayin, Chai Meng went, in fact, it won't help much, if you want to wipe Miss Jane or something, it's better for two women to go." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Your body? ”
Gently smiled and said, "It's not in the way, you can rest assured." ”
Meng Tianchu looked at Zuo Jiayin, and saw that Zuo Jiayin nodded slightly, after all, she was gentle and took the initiative to ask for help, Meng Tianchu didn't want to refuse, but she was really worried about her body, so she said, "Is it really possible?" Do you want Xiaonuo to answer you? ”
smiled gently, and said: "Mrs. Cheng said that she will get married in a few days, so she won't let Xiaonuo go out, you let Xiaonuo come out now, and Mrs. Cheng should have something to say again." ”
Zuo Jiayin: "If it's not limited to one hour, if we haven't come for an hour, you can let Chai Meng come to answer us." ”
Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "That's fine." Be sure to stay safe, though. ”
Gentle and Zuo Jiayin said at the same time: "Tianchu, don't worry. ”
Jian Ning woke up from her deep sleep, groaned in pain, and the old mother, who was napping in front of the table, quickly opened her eyes and got up, walked quickly to Jian Ning's side, and saw Jian Ningdi's chapped lips, so she whispered: "Miss, even if the slave begs you, you better drink some water, you see that your lips have dried like that, why are you bothering?" ”
Jian Ning frowned, motioned for the old mother to help herself up, and then said weakly, "When is it?" ”
The old lady replied cautiously, "It's going to be three o'clock soon." ”
Jian Ning looked out the window and muttered, "It's been two days, time flies so fast, it's going to be a day soon, why is it getting dark so early?" ”
The old mother sighed and said, "Miss, it has been raining for the past two days, and the master is afraid that you will be cold, so he added an extra brazier to the house, do you feel better?" ”
Jian Ning sneered, looked at the shabby furnishings of the room, and said, "I'm a dying person anyway, it's just that it's hard for you to be so old and suffer with me." ”
After hearing this, the old mother burst into tears, and brought Jian Ning a glass of water, Jian Ning twisted her head to the side, and the old mother choked up and said, "Miss, you are the place where I watched grow up, do you think that if I look at you, I won't feel distressed?" You better hurry up and drink some, after a while, then Mother Liu will come over to change me, slave beg, drink some. ”
Jian Ning felt sad in her heart, tears flowed out, and she said sourly: "It's really hard for you, you don't care about me, is it the same who looks at me now?" ”
The old mother hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Miss, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, you have to hold on, besides, after all, you are the lord's daughter, and he won't really treat you well, although I don't know what makes the lord so angry with you, but I think he will always figure it out." ”
Jian Ning snorted and said, "That's it, from the last time he wanted to sacrifice me to the Lord of Long Life." He doesn't have my daughter, and I don't have his father. ”
The old mother was even more sad, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and quickly wiped away her tears, and before she could wipe Jian Ning, the door had already opened, and she saw the housekeeper walk in. It was followed by a small girl ring holding a tray.
The housekeeper walked up to Jian Ning's side and looked down pretendedly, snorted twice in his mouth, and said, "Alas, what a sin." A girl with a lot of water, how can she become like this in just two days. Miss. The way you look, the slave looks uncomfortable, I advise you to explain. ”
Jian Ning spat in the butler's face. "Phew." Something, now say these nice things to me. When you whipped me with a leather whip two days ago, why didn't you look uncomfortable, let me tell you, if I die, you will be fine, if I don't die, the first person I Jian Ning will kill is you! ”
After hearing this, the housekeeper straightened up twice and said, "I'm afraid that you have this heart, and you don't have the strength to speak, and you don't even have the strength to speak, and you say kill someone, I see, you are probably going to die in this firewood room." ”
Jian Ning was so angry that she trembled, pointed at the housekeeper and said angrily, "You... You dog minion, you give me... Get out of here! ”
The housekeeper looked at Jian Ning coldly, and then said to the little girl: "Just put these meals on the table, she won't eat them anyway, since she is bent on death, it's not good for us to refuse people, but the meals still have to be delivered, or the master should say that we can't be people, and we can't even serve a master, hum, let's go, it's too cold in this room, it's not a place for people to stay." ”
After saying that, the butler stepped out of the door and walked away.
The old mother saw Jian Ning shivering, and she didn't know whether she was angry or cold, so she quickly closed the door and flickered the fire in the brazier, and then walked to Jian Ning's side and covered the quilt on Jian Ning's body, and said in a low voice: "Miss, why are you angry for such a person?" It's all some guys, and it's not worth it for you to be angry with them. ”
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and the old mother got up and said to herself: "Mother Liu is here so early? ”
As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly put a dagger on his neck, and the old mother was suddenly frightened and looked colorless, standing there trembling.
Jian Ning heard that the voice was wrong, got up and looked, only to see two people in night clothes closing the door, their faces were veiled, and they couldn't see their looks clearly, Jian Ning thought that her father was looking for someone to kill him, and was about to shout, only to see one of them step forward, quickly cover his mouth, and whisper in his ear: "Miss Jane is us." ”
Jian Ning looked at it, and saw that the two people took off their veils, and they were Meng Tianchu's second and third ladies.
Jian Ning was overjoyed in her heart, and whispered: "This place is heavily guarded, how did the two sisters get in?" ”
Zuo Jiayin sat on the edge of Jian Ningdi's bed and whispered: "Let's not talk about this first, I'll ask you if this old mother is reliable?" If she wasn't reliable, we would have killed her. ”
The old mother was so frightened that she whispered for mercy, Jian Ning said: "She is the old mother who has been watching me grow up, don't worry, she won't say anything." ”
Gentleness said to the old mother, "If you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately." ”
The old mother nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, I won't, I won't." ”
Zuo Jiayin looked at Jian Ning's haggard face, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, there were some bloodshots at the corners of her mouth, her lips were already chapped, and she couldn't bear it, and said, "Miss Jane, you have been wronged." My lord came to the house yesterday to look for you, and the housekeeper said that you were sick, and Tianchu felt that something was wrong, so let's take a look at you and let me see if your injuries are okay? ”
Jian Ning didn't expect that when she was in the most crisis, Meng Tianchu would still remember herself, and let her two ladies take the risk to come to see her, her heart warmed, and tears burst out of her eyes again.
The old mother on the side whispered: "Miss, then Mother Liu is coming, time is running out, you can quickly let these two girls show you." ”
Jian Ning nodded, the old mother walked to the door to look at the wind, Zuo Jiayin gently took off the clothes on Jian Ning's body, couldn't help but glance at Wen Wen, Wen Wen walked to Jian Ning's side, and said, "Sister, which ruthless person beat you like this?" ”
Jian Ning smiled strongly at Gentleness and said, "It's not in the way, I don't hurt anymore." ”
Zuo Jiayin took out some ointment from his arms, and then said to the old mother: "Is there hot water and a clean veil?" ”
The old lady nodded hurriedly and brought the hot water and handkerchief, and then went back to the door.
Zuo Jiayin looked at Jian Ning and said, "Miss Jane, if you have to hold back, it may hurt a little." ”
Jian Ning: "It's okay, even if it's here, my heart is dead, do you still know what pain is?" ”
Zuo Jiayin gently touched Jian Ning's shoulder and said, "Don't be like this, you still have us." ”
Jian Ning listened to this, bit her lip, nodded, and said, "I know." ”
Zuo Jiayin quickly cleaned Jian Ning's wounds, and was about to go up, when suddenly the old mother said, "Oh no, Mother Liu is here." ”
Gentleness: "What to do?" ”
Zuo Jiayin: "We can't kill her, Miss Jane, you get rid of her first." ”
Jian Ning nodded and said, "What about you?" Before the words fell, I saw that Wen Rou and Zuo Jiayin had already opened the window and flew out, and the old mother hurriedly closed the window, and before she turned around, the door opened.
A white fat woman walked in, squinted at Jian Ning lying on the bed, pretended to bow down, and then said to the old mother: "Okay, you go, I'll guard the young lady." ”
