Chapter 42: Questioning

The Wen family sent away the Gu family's people with the front foot, and Tang Heng came back with the back foot.

Tang Heng was scolded by the emperor early in the morning for being bloody, and he was in a very bad mood, so when he returned to the mansion, he took off the official hat on his head and threw it to the Wen family, and sat at the table without saying a word.

Wen handed the official hat to Chuncao, stepped forward to pour Tang Heng a cup of tea, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Xiangye today?" looks worried, but it doesn't go well in the court? ”

Tang Heng took the teacup and snorted coldly, and said indignantly: "It's not all caused by Aunt Du's unsuccessful brother, if it weren't for him, when would the prime minister have been reprimanded like this by the emperor?" ”

And in front of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor didn't save him any face.

As soon as he heard about Aunt Du, Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued to ask with concern, "What happened to Aunt Du's brother?" Did you cause something to implicate Xiangye? ”

Hearing Wen's question, Tang Heng felt that he couldn't hold back his anger all morning, and finally couldn't help it, and began to accuse him at length......

Some time ago, he was strong and raped a woman, and the woman's family had a strong temperament, so she had to ask for justice, so she sued King Rui, good guy, King Rui is now in the performance stage, and the results were found out within three days of taking the case.

As a result, when the official sent to the door, her stupid and stupid brother was still rampantly talking nonsense, saying that I am Xiangye's brother-in-law, who of you dares to touch me...... dragged the true phase into the water. ”

Tang Heng slapped the table a few times in a hurry, shaking the tea in the cup for a while, and occasionally a few drops splashed on his sleeve with Tang Heng's movements, smudging into small dots.

Tang Heng couldn't help but snort coldly, "It's just the brother of a cheap concubine, whoever gives him a face dares to say that it's my brother-in-law, it's shameless!"

Only the original mother's family is qualified to be said to be the eldest brother-in-law, sister-in-law and the like, and the general concubine herself is still considered a subordinate, how can the family be regarded as someone else's in-laws.

The more Tang Heng spoke, the more angry he became, and the precious cup in his hand gurgled.

That Du Guangxing participated in the underground casino money bank in his name, he didn't even know it, until he was involved in the court by King Rui, he didn't know that the emperor hated these underground money houses and casinos the most, and he was furious at that time, sentenced Du Guangxing to be beheaded three days later, and punished him for another year Yu Lu Shun scolded himself fiercely, saying that he didn't know people clearly, overly favored a cheap concubine, and even the brother with a cheap concubine dared to act in his own name, causing many people to suffer.

In the face of the emperor's anger, Tang Heng had no choice but to bow his head and make a quail shape, and listen respectfully, because he also knew that the emperor still trusted him, otherwise he would not have only punished him for a year and scolded him, but this incident still affected his reputation after all, and the emperor trusted him so much before, I am afraid that it is because this matter is now starting to shake a little.

The reputation that he has worked hard to accumulate for ten years was actually pried by the brother of a cheap concubine in his backyard, how can he not be angry!

Wen couldn't stop feeling proud in her heart after hearing this, in the past, Aunt Du always relied on Xiangye's favor and didn't take her seriously, but now her brother has caused such a big disaster, I'm afraid she will fall out of favor in the future, as long as she doesn't have Xiangye's favor, then she is a subordinate in this mansion, and she doesn't let her handle it.

No matter how proud she was in her heart, she still pretended to be surprised and said: "This Aunt Du's brother has done so many evil things, but he really lost his conscience." After speaking, he shook his head and sighed: "Xiangye took pity on Aunt Du, and even took care of her family, but I didn't expect them to put their noses on their faces, and they actually took the innocent reputation you have accumulated so hard to make steps for yourself. ”

Even if Tang Heng was angry, he couldn't hear Wen's words, didn't it mean that Aunt Du and his brother were in frequent contacts, but he concealed that he and her brother colluded to use him to collect money.

Speaking of which, it is not an implication that he is too indulgent with Aunt Du on weekdays, which will lead to this result.

In fact, he guessed that Aunt Du should be unaware, Du Guangxing was so cunning, how could Aunt Du find out? However, Tang Heng didn't refute it, and responded with a frown: "It's true that the prime minister has been tolerant of her on weekdays, and it's time to give her a long memory." ”

She missed her brother, so he allowed Aunt Du the right to go out of the house freely, so that she could go out to see whenever she missed it, who knew that his favor made Du Guangxing more and more wanton, but fortunately he was found out by King Rui, if it was a few years later, I am afraid that he will really be affected by Du Guangxing by that time.

Wen saw that Xiangye was still black-faced and didn't mention it anymore, so he was relieved: "Xiangye, don't be angry, what should I do if I am angry?" The emperor is just acting on the surface, but he actually attaches great importance to you. ”

Attention is still valued, but in the end there is suspicion, once there is this idea, as long as someone is provoking it, I am afraid that this trust will quickly collapse, and the trust of the emperor's family has always been very shallow.

Listening to Wen's soft words of comfort, Tang Heng's face, which had been cold, also softened by two points, and turned to say: "Don't mention this matter, I heard that the Gu family is here today?" ”

As soon as he mentioned the Gu family, Wen's heart that was still proud just now suddenly cooled a little, and he smiled: "Yes, the Gu family came to propose marriage today." ”

Tang Hengmo rubbed the lotus pattern on the cup and asked, "Have you entertained others?" ”

Wen's temperament is different, Tang Heng has also seen it, the kind of poor family of the Gu family is afraid that they will not look down on him, but his reputation is damaged now, if the Gu family is still cold-eyed, it will inevitably be spread out in the future, and someone will inevitably have to participate in him, so he specially asked.

Wen Shi also understood why Xiang Ye asked this after a while, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a good hospitality, but it is a marriage set by the old man himself, how dare the concubine be contemptuous in terms of etiquette, and I also gave them a few batches of red silk satin that the emperor rewarded you last time as a meeting gift." ”

Tang Heng nodded, a trace of satisfaction leaked from his eyes, and he was quite recognizable.

Those batches of red silk satin can be regarded as good materials, and she gave them away generously, and it seems that her attitude towards the Gu family will not be too bad.

Where did Tang Heng know the twists and turns of a woman's heart, Wen's wanted to give away those batches of red silk satin, because those batches of materials were too colorful, and it was not suitable for him to use them, and it was not noble enough to make a wedding dress when his daughter got married.

"Did you tell them about Ning'er's marriage today?"

"Having said that, the Gu family is the eldest son of Gu and his wife, the two of them look at their honest duties, I heard that Yan Ning married in the past, and they have no opinion, but they just urged when to get married, first, that the second son of Gu is not suitable for delaying any longer, and second, he also wants to fulfill the wishes of the older generation earlier, and finally has an explanation!"

Wen deliberately concealed Gu Huaien's dissatisfaction, and in the end they agreed.

Tang Heng sighed after taking a sip of the tea in the cup, "It's time to be in a hurry, then Gu Huaisheng is also twenty-three years old, in the capital, the sons and brothers of his age are already married, and the children are running all over the ground, so have you exchanged eight characters?" ”

Wen diligently poured a cup of tea for Xiangye, and said with a smile: "It's exchanged, and the concubine has already asked the master to calculate, saying that August 24 is a good day, that is, the day Yan Yu got married, the two daughters got married together, and it happened that the double happiness was coming, what do you think?" ”

"August 24? It's not appropriate, it's too anxious. Tang Heng shook his head as he spoke, "Yu'er can't be in such a hurry, if Ning'er is in such a hurry, I don't know, I still think that our Xiangfu daughter's character is problematic!" Let's go according to the normal process, Najib will be hired on the day first, and then the marriage will be raised in about three months, no matter how anxious they are to take care of their family, they can't be in a hurry at this time! ”
