When Xie Mulin heard this, he was angry and funny. Unexpectedly, Xie Huizhi, a little brother who was not very familiar with her at first, would now make fun of her.

The young master of the Jiang family? The Jiang family is the in-laws of the Cheng family of the Marquis of Ningguo, and it can also be said to be the in-laws of the Pingnan Bo Mansion, and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Pingnanbo Cheng are half-sisters. The Jiang family is said to be related to the Chengenhou Mansion, but they are closer to the Pingnanbo Mansion. Now that the relationship between the Cao family's room, the second room and the third room has deteriorated, I'm afraid that the Jiang family's relatives are not very easy to do in the Chengenhou Mansion, right? However, considering that Jiang Shilang is a high-ranking official in the DPRK and has always been the backbone of the Cao family's henchmen, it is estimated that Chengenhou will still give them a little face. It is also normal for the young master of the Jiang family to appear at the banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion.

As for what happened in the Chengenhou Mansion, which young master of the Jiang family would have something to do with it...... If it was Jiang Yuliang, the second young master of Jiang, Xie Huizhi would probably scold her directly, and he wouldn't joke with her with a smile. So it should be Jiang Shaoliang, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, who is involved, right?

As soon as Xie Mulin said his analysis and speculation, Xie Huizhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Second sister is really smart, you can guess this!" ”

Xie Jinzhi hurriedly asked, "What happened to Jiang Shaoliang at the banquet in the Cheng'en Mansion?" ”

Xie Huizhi didn't sell Guan Zi anymore this time, and said with a smile: "This thing is a bit bizarre, although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, but I heard the details from a few Cao family second-room servants who Cao Rong was familiar with, and I always felt that it was not a coincidence." Most of the people on the Cao family's side think that this is a ghost done by Wang Angui's eldest daughter, but they don't know that she has fallen into this field now, how can she still have the ability to attack the Cao family? ”

It turned out that at the banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion today, many subordinates of the Cao family or newly recruited officials appeared. Among them, there is a teenage official eunuch's son, who seems to be the son of a minor official who is not very valued by the Cao family, and by getting acquainted with a son of the Cao family's side branch, he finally has the opportunity to squeeze in front of Cao Wentai to show his face. He seems to be a little clever and very good at talking, which makes Cao Wentai happy, so he gets special treatment, and he can sit with the children of the Cao family, Jiang, Cheng and several other Cao family in-laws.

I don't know if it was because he was too proud, so he hindered the eyes of some people at the same table, and while the Cao family disciple who was walking with him walked away temporarily, he began to laugh at the old-fashioned style of the clothes he was wearing, and the materials were not good.

It is said that the style of the ornament is very strange, and it is made by connecting two pieces of jade pendant with silk. Although the jade color is slightly different, it is also a high-quality texture, the workmanship is also fine, and the knot made of silk is also very chic, and it is not rude to be worn by the host to this kind of banquet. But such an ornament is obviously made of two different pieces of jade, revealing a shabby atmosphere, and it will never be the handiwork of the family of high-ranking officials and eunuchs. The rich sons and brothers present wanted to laugh at the official eunuch's son, so they naturally had to stare at this point.

This was originally just an extremely boring thing, except for the few idle and boring gentlemen, and the people who were ridiculed, the people around didn't care much. It's just that these people have caused an uproar and attracted the dissatisfaction of others. Among them, there was Cao Wenxiang, a child of the Cao family in his early tens, who squeezed over to see who was so blind and noisy at the Cao family's banquet.

When he looked at it, he could see that trouble was coming. He pointed to the jade pendant tied around the waist of the eunuch's son, and exclaimed: "Isn't this my eldest sister's thing?" How could it be on you?! He rushed forward and grabbed the jade pendant to take a closer look: "It's really my big sister's!" There's her name engraved on it. I remember, during the Lantern Festival this year, the queen mother in the palace gave us the children in each room a reward, and several sisters got jade pendants, and their names were engraved on them. This is the big sister's piece! ”

The eldest sister in Cao Wenxiang's mouth is none other than Cao Wenying, the eldest lady in the second room of the Cao family. She is fourteen years old this year, and she has been favored by Queen Cao, and she will marry into the East Palace and become the crown prince Liangdi soon.

The ornaments she wore close to her body appeared on the foreign man for no reason, and she was still a foreign man of the same age, which was a little unclear. In case someone gossips about this, it will definitely affect Cao Wenying's reputation and sabotage her plan to enter the East Palace. The Cao family was extremely taboo about this, but Cao Wenxiang's straw bag shouted about it on the spot, and most of the guests at the banquet heard it.

had to treat the official eunuch as a thief first, if this matter can be attributed to a robbery, it naturally has nothing to do with the scandal between men and women.

A circle of Cao family disciples rushed up, surrounding the official eunuch disciples, the other party was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembled, and shouted repeatedly: "I'm not a thief!" I didn't steal it! It's something I bought from an out-of-town store! I didn't know where it came from, but I saw that it was cheap and the jade quality was good, so I bought it! ”

Cao Wentai rushed over when he heard the news, and stared at the official eunuch with a frown, a cousin had already snatched the jade pendant and handed it over to him. After carefully examining the jade pendant, his brow furrowed even tighter.

There are two jade pendants on the ornament, one of which is indeed Cao Wenying's thing, and the other one, he can also see the details and know whose thing it is. He was suspicious in his heart, suspecting that this was a bureau. But who is the one who sets up the game? Could it be the owner of another jade pendant?

At this time, the Jiang brothers all heard the news and came over. Jiang Yuliang glanced at the jade pendant, and then asked his brother in a low voice: "Big brother, why do I think that thing seems to be a little familiar......" Cao Wentai glanced at him sharply. Jiang Yuliang didn't continue, but he was very unhappy in his heart.

Jiang Shaoliang glanced at the two pieces of jade unhurriedly, and asked Cao Wentai calmly: "Brother Wentai, please take a closer look, is the jade pendant engraved with the word 'Shao' on it?" If so, then I'm not mistaken. A few days ago, I invited you to tea outside, and asked the thief to take away the jade pendant on my body, and I found it when I got home. Because the jade pendant has been with me for many years, I am very reluctant, and I sent people to look around the teahouse for several days, but I have never heard of it, and now I know that it was sold by thieves. Could it be that the place where this little brother buys jade pendants is a black shop that sells stolen goods? I'm afraid that the things in Brother Wentai's house were also stolen by the same group of thieves, right? ”

Jiang Shaoliang turned this suspected scandal into a theft case in a few words, and his jade pendant and Cao Wenying's jade pendant were connected together, which also had a hint of coincidence.

Cao Wentai's face softened a lot, he remembered this incident, so he looked at the official eunuch and asked with a warning look: "Where did you buy these two jade pendants?!" ”

Where do the children of the eunuchs dare to hide it? He honestly told the location of the store, it was just a completely inconspicuous street shop, it was not a place with a history at all, and it happened to be not far from the teahouse, which was really suspicious.

Cao Wentai immediately sent his cronies to inquire about the store address. The turmoil at the banquet has also subsided for the time being. It's just that Jiang Shaoliang almost made a marriage with Cao Wenying before, and there were many people who knew about it among the relatives and friends present, even if he said that it was just a coincidence that these two jade pendants were tied together, it was inevitable that some people would chew their tongues in secret, thinking that his words were just excuses, this was simply the thing he made to love Cao Wenying, but for some reason, it just fell into the hands of outsiders.

The banquet that was originally intended to celebrate Cao Wentai had two accidents one after another, which might also affect the Cao family's daughter's plan to enter the East Palace, and Cao Wentai's face became more and more ugly.
