Chapter 14: Making a big fuss
In Xiyuan, Wen Yanzheng and the old lady were feeding Ebony to eat fish in the patio.
A palm-length small plum fish, Ebony ate no bite, and shouted at the two of them.
The old lady said: "It's gone, just one." ”
Ebony licked her paw and screamed unhappily.
The old lady laughed: "The old lady likes it, and the third old man let people send it fresh from the seaside in Mingzhou, if it weren't for this, where could I get it from the kitchen." ”
I don't know if Ebony heard it, so she jumped off the wall with a wave of her tail and left.
Mama Huang looked at it and smiled, and when she saw a girl poking her head by the door, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The little maid hurriedly replied with a smile: "The second master has returned home, please invite the third girl and the old sister to go to the Longevity Hall." ”
Mama Huang said: "Didn't the second master go to Shunping Bofu today to handle the case of a few sons and brothers fighting?" Why are you looking for our girl? Still looking for a young lady? ”
The little maid didn't know the ins and outs, so she couldn't answer, so she could only look at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan stood up and said, "If you are looking for me, I will wash my hands and go." ”
The old lady waited for Wen Yan to clean her hands, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Didn't you leak the news?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Wen Yan chuckled, "I don't admit it, you don't recognize it, can the second uncle still escort the two of us to the yamen?" ”
Even if Wen Zifu wanted to do this, Old Madam Gui would definitely not agree.
The old lady doesn't lose this person.
Wen Yan took the old lady and Mama Huang to the Longevity Hall together, and greeted the elders obediently.
Wen Zifu couldn't have looked at a girl intently before, so he only had a superficial impression, just now he was questioned by the old lady and the Cao family, and he regarded it as his own mistake, and now he will take a closer look at the appearance of the old lady......
It's really a little bit similar to the portrait.
"Sister Yan'er, the case is handled step by step, my uncle is in an official position, I have to ask a few words, yes or no, you just have to say, it is all your own family, and it must be towards you." Wen Zifu said angrily.
Wen Yan smiled, her eyes crooked: "Being in his position to seek his own government, Sister Yan understands this truth." ”
Wen Zifu touched his beard.
He was already annoyed by the Bofu, and it was his own juniors who wanted to ask, and his heart was biased from the beginning, seeing Wen Yan so sensible and obedient, he felt more and more that it was the Ji family splashing dirty water!
I don't know outside, don't they know about the Wen family?
Ji Jiu was such a stinky boy who fell in love with Wen Yan, and even beat Wen Zhang and Wen Min for this!
Wen Zifu asked a gentle question, Wen Yan answered in a proper manner, the old lady has been in the palace for many years, and she has a set of ways to deal with advance and retreat.
In short, it's just a sentence, I don't know, I don't know, I never go out.
The porter on the door in the northwest corner was also called, and on her booklet, she remembered clearly the entry and exit in the past few days, let alone Xiyuan, and the people around Wen Hui and Wen Jing did not enter and leave from her eyes.
Cao sent people to the other concierges to ask again, and they all gave the same answer.
Old Madam Gui waited for them to finish their questions and answers, and said, "Erlang should rest assured now, they don't want to rely on us for any bastard things in their uncle's mansion." ”
Wen Zifu bowed her head, the old lady was right, the little maid of this age dressed as a man, and they all looked similar.
He was about to say a few words, when a mother-in-law came outside to spread the word, saying that it was someone from the yamen, and asked the second master to take the third girl and the old lady to Shunping Bofu and explain it in person.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Wen Zifu's face disappeared in an instant.
"Why do you want to feast my sister to go to Bofu? What is the rationale for this? Cao Shi hadn't changed his taste yet, and subconsciously asked, and when he caught a glimpse of Old Madam Gui's gloomy face, she shrunk her neck.
"I'm not going," Wen Yan leaned on Mrs. Gui and said coquettishly, "Invite me before, I didn't go, this time I changed this way?" In the future, if anyone wants to see me, don't hand over any post to set a banquet, hand a piece of paper to the yamen, and make false accusations without evidence, I have to come forward honestly. ”
Wen Yan's words were pouring fuel on the fire, and Old Madam Gui became more and more angry, and it was rare to say something serious: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just bullying our Hou Mansion and getting weaker?" Erlang, let's not go to the banquet! You Li Governor want to hold the stinky feet of Shun Pingbo Mansion, the old woman is not used to it! ”
Wen Zifu also held his breath.
Originally, the eldest brother was Mrs. Xia's son-in-law, although he was far away in the capital, but after all, he was the brother of a mother's compatriot, and he was very polite to Wen Zifu from top to bottom.
After the accident last year, although it did not affect his official position, there were still some inconveniences.
Wen Zifu tolerated everywhere, but if he endured it again this time, let Wen Yan go to Shunping Bofu to confront him without any evidence, and then any cat or dog could bully him in the future.
He discussed a few words with Mrs. Gui and asked the mother-in-law who passed the message to tell the people who came from the yamen.
If you want to recognize people, Shunping Bofu will hand over the post to Ding'an Hou Mansion by himself, and the yamen can accompany him, but there is no need to make a big fanfare.
After all, those who shout that they want to put people in prison and those who want to be put in prison don't believe Wen!
The words were thrown out, and Wen Zifu comforted Mrs. Gui again.
He thought that the old lady who was messing around in Uncle Shunping's mansion would not agree, and he would have to talk about it again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect that the little uncle and his wife would come in the night.
Old Madam Gui let Wen Yan enter the blue yarn cupboard, such things, the little girl's family, there is no need to come forward, and then she looked at the person who came without saying a word.
"First early in the morning, then late in the evening," Mrs. Gui smiled, "The relationship between our two families today is not as good as before." ”
The little uncle and wife were extremely embarrassed, so they could only bite the bullet and talk a few words first.
Next to her stood a horse-faced woman, the same one who cursed Old Madam Gui in front of Sister Wen Hui that day.
"Let's come to the door, the old lady let the three girls avoid it, isn't it appropriate?" The horse-faced woman said.
Old Madam Gui sat up straight, ignored the mother-in-law at all, and only spoke to the little uncle's wife: "Brother and they fell into the water, and the old woman was also very worried, I heard that it was a good fight on the boat."
Our Erlang said that Brother Jiu'er told the yamen that he heard the voices of the Qu family's brothers, and then he realized that he had been deceived.
Young brother, he is vigorous, he will do it when he says he will do it, isn't it a common thing to leave your house, why don't you have to go to our house?
Others say that they are Sister Yan'er's maids, that's it? ”
While speaking, Mrs. Gui gave Cao a look.
Cao's understanding and took over the conversation: "It's all here, there is no progress, it's always not good, in this way, I'll call the people who are waiting around my sister, you can take a look." ”
The little uncle and his wife were like sitting on pins and needles.
Don't look at Mrs. Gui talking with a smile, but the sentence "quite an ordinary thing" clearly pointed to Qu Hu's action against the Wen Zhang brothers, without saving any face.
She heard it, but she couldn't help it.
My mother-in-law tossed for a day, and the countermeasures changed again and again.
first firmly believed that the Qu brothers were calculating and wanted to put people in prison, and later turned into an innocent Qu family, which must be a warm banquet to provoke trouble.
When Wen Zifu left the yamen, Mrs. Bo was concerned.
It was indeed Wen Yan who made an appointment with Ji Ji for a private meeting, but it didn't work out, and all the movements Ji Ji heard were drunk and confused, and he couldn't take it seriously.
In short, these two children have a private affair and teach each other privately, so the Wen family should honestly respond to this family business.
The little uncle and his wife did not approve of such immoral methods, but the baby son was making trouble, and the unreasonable mother-in-law was also making trouble......
She was thinking about how to open this mouth, and the old lady and Mama Huang came in.
When the horse-faced mother-in-law saw the old woman, she opened her mouth and said, "It's this stinky girl!" ”
The old lady's eyes rolled: "This mother, are you doing flower boat rental for a living?" You don't collect money, you don't arrange flower boats, how do you know that it's me who pays and it's not me? ”
The horse-faced woman trembled with anger.
Okay, this little girl scolded her for being an old bustard!
Mama Huang blocked the old lady behind her, and said seriously: "It's clear in the gatehouse, our girl and this little girl didn't go out yesterday." ”
The horse-faced woman said: "Of course, the gatekeeper in the house is facing the master, besides, if you don't go to the door, who knows if there is a ......."
Before she finished her words, Mama Huang had already "puffed" out.
"Did you go over the wall?" Mama Huang said in disbelief, "The princess's companion can climb over the wall?" Aren't you telling a joke? You, you're not just slandering our girl, you're slandering the princess! ”
The face of the horse-faced woman was made particularly wonderful by such a fussy play.
Cao Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and his eyes lit up.
Wow!
She wants to applaud Mama Huang!
