Chapter Eighty-Five: Miss Nine and the Gossip Boudoir Show Group
The next morning, Wang Yuanguan, who was helping his mother-in-law sort out her clothes, was taken aback when she learned that her younger brother had come to see her. She also heard about the uproar of the Zhuangyuanlou Heroes Banquet, she was proud of her younger brother and worried about her younger brother, but Wang Fulin didn't even show her face, and her in-laws still had all kinds of things to do, so she could only suppress her worries, thinking that her younger brother would definitely go back to Songming Mountain after these things in the city, but she didn't expect that she was still in the city. Ke Shi is now much more tolerant and loving to her daughter-in-law, and the only thing that beats her is to let her take care of her body and spread her branches as soon as possible.
"Go, go, it's rare that your brother has been in the city recently, but he doesn't have time to meet you."
After obtaining the consent of his mother-in-law, Wang Yuanguan came out in such homely clothes, and when he saw Wang Fulin, he asked a little anxiously: "But what happened?" β
Wang Erniang was deceived, Wang Fulin wanted to hide it from the eldest sister, but after thinking about it, he felt that Wang Yuanguan had such a strong temper, and if he learned from others in the future, it would not be beautiful. So, he smiled and asked the eldest sister to sit down on the chair next to him, and made sure that there were no outsiders, so he whispered everything Wang Daoguan said, and explained that he had temporarily moved to the small house on the back street of the county. Seeing that Wang Yuanguan was sad and anxious, he persuaded him: "Eldest sister, since the incident has happened, it is important to relieve Erniang, but the bell must be tied to the bell, I have already said that Ye Xianzun will be mobilized to privately mobilize people to track down the liar." β
As the eldest sister, Wang Yuanguan thought that if he hadn't gotten married, he would definitely stick to the door, so as not to make his sister make a big mistake, even if he really got the way, it was his own fault, and his sister didn't have to have an accident out of shame and anger. Now, all her thoughts are on how to comfort people, but Wang Fulin has already thought far ahead. She stared at her brother for a long time, and then she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Little brother, I know you're here for Erniang. But my father and mother want you to study hard, instead of spending your mind on such chores......"
"Eldest sister, you are not an outsider, I will tell you the truth." Wang Fulin knew that if he didn't pierce the window paper, he would definitely be forced to go to the imperial examination when his parents and two elders returned in the future. Immediately, he said in a painful tone, "Actually, I was injured by two villains that time, although the flesh wounds were healed, there were still sequelae. I can hardly remember the memories of the Four Books and Five Classics and those eight-strand articles that I have read for many years. I didn't want you to worry about it, so I didn't say it. β
Seeing that Wang Yuanguan's face changed miserably, and the whole person even had to hold on to the handrail to sit firmly, he quickly got up and helped her, and then said in a low voice: "I only told the eldest sister about this matter, I hope the eldest sister will hide it in her heart, don't mention it to her father and mother in the future, and don't tell her sΓΉ Erniang, this is our secret." Even if I can't continue the imperial examination, I can support this family. β
Finally breaking free from the almost hopeless loss, Wang Yuanguan finally tried his best to calm himself down. Seeing Wang Fulin sitting there calmly, her face calm, as if she didn't need to be comforted at all, her heart couldn't help but feel bitter and proud, and it was easy to burst out with a sentence: "Okay, the eldest sister will definitely keep it secret for you." β
Finally, it's over for now!
Although Wang Fulin was a little sorry, he was more relieved. He didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he immediately whispered: "I came to see the eldest sister today, and I actually want to discuss something with you." I need a bait, think about it......"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a cheerful voice outside: "Sister-in-law Zhen, I'm here to talk to you!" β
Wang Fulin looked up, and saw a rare figure swaying outside the bamboo curtain in front of the door, and soon a voice came: "Grandma, it's the ninth lady of the family who is here!" β
If it was usual, Xu Wei, the innocent Miss Nine of the family, came to talk and play with her, Wang Yuanguan would only be happy, but at this time, her younger brother was having something important to explain, and she was a little embarrassed. She was about to open her mouth and ask Xu Wei to see her mother-in-law, who would have thought that the bamboo curtain was opened a crack, and it was vaguely seen that a girl in a goose yellow dress was peeping there. In desperation, she could only smile apologetically at Wang Fulin, and then got up to greet her. Sure enough, after opening the bamboo curtain a little, she saw Xu Wei winking at herself playfully, but her eyes were still glancing into the room.
"Xiaowei, I'm seeing my brother right now, you go to your mother's place to sit down for a while, and I'll send someone to you later."
Xu Wei wrinkled her nose, and then muttered in a low voice: "It's so easy to be so coincidental, I originally wanted to hear Wang Xiaoxianggong personally talk about the hero's banquet that day." Sister-in-law, isn't it okay to say that the conversation is not good across the screen? β
Wang Yuanguan only felt angry and funny, and sent himself with his eyes to tell the little girl who was watching in the yard to report to her mother-in-law Ke Shi, she scratched the tip of Xu Wei's nose affectionately, and then said softly: "Knowing that your Yixiang Society is fine, take these messy jokes seriously, but in the end, there is a difference between men and women, how can you be so curious." β
"It's not just me, my grandmother is curious too." Xu Wei defended herself a little weakly, and then hurriedly added, "Besides, Sister Mingyue also came to participate in the activities of our Yixiang Club without pulling it once!" β
Wang Fulin's ears were already sharp, and he almost heard the conversation between the eldest sister and the young lady of the Xu family outside, and when he caught the words Sister Mingyue and Yixiang Society, he immediately remembered the humiliating push behind the screen, and his heart immediately moved. After thinking for a while, he got up and quietly walked behind the eldest sister, and said in a very light tone: "Eldest sister, I have something to ask the old lady for a favor, can you let Miss Nine go back with a word?" β
"Okay, I'll take it back as it was!"
Xu Wei felt that this sentence was too timely, and immediately smiled at Wang Yuanguan flatteringly. Seeing that this sister-in-law had no choice but to give way, she happily entered the door, looked for it but didn't find any screens, and finally simply hid behind Wang Yuanguan like a thief and used people as a shield. It wasn't until Wang Yuanguan pulled her forward angrily that she made an impeccable Wanfu ceremony, and her eyes flickered.
"What do you want me to bring to my grandmother?"
"Borrow an antique or curiosity. Don't want things that are extremely precious, preferably smaller, worth about five hundred taels. β
For Xu Wei, such a request undoubtedly made her wonder and hesitate. After all, she is very favored by her grandmother, but there is also a certain amount of money every month, and all the decorations in the house are from the public middle school, and even the grandmother occasionally appreciates her because she is happy to reward her, which will attract gossip from uncles and aunts. However, the person in front of him has created many miracles that the sisters of the Yixiang Society talk about, and it is not like they have taken a fancy to their own things. So, she simply asked bluntly: "What does Wang Xiaoxianggong want to do with antiques?" β
"I need a little famous thing from your family as bait." Wang Fulin smiled, and when he saw that Xu Wei's eyes immediately widened and he was extremely interested, he said softly, "The specific matter cannot be revealed now, and Miss Nine will also ask my grandmother to give me an answer." Of course, in addition to borrowing antiques, please also lend me someone, because such a valuable thing always has to be watched, and secondly, I also need someone to cooperate with me in a play. However, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and please ask Miss Nine to only tell Grandmother SΓΉ Ling, even if you are the sisters of the Yixiang Society, don't say any of them, otherwise I will be miserable. β
Hearing that he was borrowing something as bait, and hearing that he had to borrow someone from his house to help act, Xu Wei was very excited. However, no matter how she asked next, Wang Fulin refused to reveal the specific plan, but just told her sister Wang Erniang that she was pitted by an old liar, she was indignant for a while, and then promised Wang Fulin to only tell her grandmother about the matter, and never tell outsiders.
And Wang Fulin caught a glimpse of Wang Yuanguan nodding to himself, knowing that this little girl was still reliable, but he had a lot of words from her. For example, the so-called Yixiang Society is an organization for the ladies of various big families in Huizhou, the city and county, to entertain each other in private, and the place where they meet every time is either in this or that house. Those who can be pulled in are all daughters who can be recognized by others. Ye Mingyue was only in office with her father for half a year, and she was pulled into that small circle, and she was recognized by almost everyone for her brightness and generosity, and the daughter of the county magistrate also had a bunch of native handkerchiefs.
It was only at this time that Wang Fulin understood that the last time Ye Mingyue asked Jin Bao to talk, saying that many people expected him to show his might, and he dared to refer to the bunch of little girls in Yixiang Society!
