Chapter Eighty-Six: Inquiring
In the ear room of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng discussed the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival according to the old practice. Mrs. Wang left Sister Feng in the house and sent the people in the house out. Ping'er knew that their aunt and nephew were discussing important matters, so they came out of the room and stood under the porch, guarding the door, and no one was allowed to come in.
There were only two people left in the house, Mrs. Wang picked up the tea cup in her hand, took a sip of tea and asked, "This month, Lian'er sent money to Yuan'er, did she have any news?" ”
Sister Feng shook her head, and when she saw Mrs. Wang's suddenly gloomy face, she hurriedly relieved: "If you want me to say, in fact, no news is good news, which means that the eldest sister is all right in the palace, so there is no news coming out." ”
Mrs. Wang frowned, put down the teacup dissatisfied, engraved it on the table with a "bell", glanced at Sister Feng, and scolded: "You are still young, you haven't passed through, you don't understand the things in this palace." ”
Because she knew from the queen that Emperor Zhengxi wanted to admit Yuanchun into the harem, Concubine Jing suddenly changed her attitude towards Yuanchun, and revealed a trace of her tone. Didn't the family send Yuanchun into the palace just to let her fly on the branches, and now that the dream in front of her is about to come true, she couldn't help but say it when she sent her money at home.
After receiving the news from Yuan Chun, Mrs. Wang was so happy that she almost forgot what her surname was, but because the matter had not yet been settled, she could only listen to Yuan Chun's words, and reluctantly held back the idea of preaching to the outside world, waiting for the day when Yuan Chun was canonized and she became the queen's mother-in-law.
Who knew that the emperor did canonize a group of concubines at the end of last year, but there was no Yuan Chun in it. Mrs. Wang didn't know why, so she sent a letter to Yuan Chun, but Yuan Chun did not reply.
At that time, Yuan Chun didn't return to Mrs. Wang, because at the beginning, she was also confused and didn't know the reason. However, after she learned the reason from Concubine Jing, she didn't tell Mrs. Wang because she missed the opportunity to be canonized, and she made a mistake. She didn't dare to say.
She was afraid that her family would give up on her. You must know that once Aunt Xue wanted to send Baochai into the palace, but it wasn't that her uncle Prince Teng saw that she had been in the palace for many years without results, so she shifted her hope. Anyway, whether it's her or Baochai, it's his niece, and it's the right and left. If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's insistence, and the Xue family had such a big handle as Xue Pan killing people to make a fuss, maybe Baochai would have entered the palace at this time. But without Baochai, the Shi family, the Wang family, and even the Jia family all have daughters. If they knew that she was hopeless, who knew if they would turn to send someone else into the palace?
Mrs. Wang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Lian'er runs outside all day, you let him do his best and inquire carefully, he can't go out with the silver, he hasn't done anything, right?" "I've provided the cost of inquiry.
Understood the subtext of Mrs. Wang's words, if she didn't mention the money, when she mentioned the money, Sister Feng's confidence suddenly became sufficient, and the crackling was a complaint and complaint: "My second master is for the sake of the eldest sister, but after running before and after, I don't know how many times I invited the eunuch Ma in the queen's palace to drink the wine, that is, the silver was stuffed with five thousand taels." But when the second master went to the account to pay the money, he couldn't take it out of the account, because the time was urgent, and the second master took my private money to go up. ”
Speaking of Jia Lian's private money, Sister Feng is a belly. This money was not asked for by Jia Lian and her, but coaxed the big girl named An'er next to Sister Feng into her hands. As a result, that An'er sold Sister Feng for Jia Lian's sweet words to raise her as an aunt, if it weren't for Ping'er's carefulness and discovery of clues, Sister Feng's silver at the bottom of the box would have been hollowed out, and it is estimated that she would not know it.
For this reason, Sister Feng and Jia Lian not only quarreled with each other, but also sold An'erfa. An'er originally hoped that Jia Lian could save her, but in the end, she didn't kneel at her feet and kowtow and beg for mercy. It's a pity that it's late. The moment she knew what was going on, she Wang Xifeng swore that she would spare An'er, who betrayed her master and seduced her husband, and she Wang Xifeng was raised by fans.
A few days ago, Sister Feng and Jia Lian quarreled, not only did they quarrel fiercely, but there was also one less big girl beside her. Mrs. Wang, who had been through the battle, looked at it and guessed that it was the amorous Jia Lian who stole Sister Feng'er's girl again, thinking about Sister Feng since she married Jia Lian, the two quarreled from time to time because of Jia Lian's "stealing mouth", and couldn't help but persuade a few words: "No matter what, you are Lian'er's wife, and you are the wife he is marrying, and no one can go past you." You're about the same, only chasing thieves for thousands of miles, and there are no thieves for thousands of nights, so your troubles will stop. ”
Although Sister Feng didn't listen, she could only nod yes because Mrs. Wang was her elder.
wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "This is what Lian Er Boy inquired about?" ”
Sister Feng listened to Mrs. Wang's words, but she became more confident, and her heart became more steady: "Lian Er doesn't know how many times I invited that Ma eunuch to drink flower wine, even if the silver is stuffed with five thousand taels." Didn't even let out a fart! I don't know what kind of flower wine a castrated eunuch drinks! The fire in Sister Feng'er's heart burned again, and she couldn't care about Mrs. Wang, so she poured a cup of tea and poured it hard! I can't complain that Sister Feng is angry, and the five thousand taels spent this time are all dowry silver that she has in her private collection. It's not that Jia Lian's fishy thing quietly coaxed his personal maid Shao'er to get started, and sold his grandmother for Jia Lian's sweet words to raise her as an aunt, if it weren't for Ping'er who had always paid attention to the box where he hid his private silver, he wouldn't have known that he had become a single! The few valuable pieces of furniture he brought had already pawned in order to make a long face in front of Mrs. Wang, and the rest of the private silver was poached by Jia Lian for a small half!!
Mrs. Wang also knew that there was a news in Lian's second room a few days ago, and she was very noisy at night, and when she asked for peace during the day, there was one less maid around her, even a fool who knew that the amorous Lian Erye stole Sister Feng'er's girl again. Thinking about Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao in her room, and then looking at Sister Feng who was smoking on her head, she had a feeling of schadenfreude, so she only persuaded a few words: "Although you are young, you should live quietly, only chasing thieves for thousands of miles, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for thousands of nights." Your fuss will stop. ”
Although Sister Feng didn't listen, because Mrs. Wang was still her elder, she could only nod her head and say yes.
……
"Whale Qing, hurry up." Baoyu pulled Qin Zhong out of the inner study and ran towards Jia's mother courtyard in a hurry.
Ever since she met Qin Zhong in Dongfu, Baoyu made an appointment with him to study together. Since Qin Zhong went to school, although Baoyu has been studying, he still fishes for three days and dries his nets for two days, but in the end, it is much better than the previous ten days and half a month without touching the books. Therefore, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang really like Qin Zhong, so Qin Zhong quickly became familiar with Rong Mansion.
Qin Zhong had a slow temperament, and when he saw Baoyu greeting him, he took three steps and two steps and entered the house by himself. He couldn't catch up, so he simply took two steps and slowly followed.
Daiyu happened to come out, and when she saw this situation, she couldn't help but say to Baoyu: "How can there be a host like you, who leaves the guests outside and comes first......"
When Qin Zhong saw Daiyu, he first made a long gesture to himself, and said, "The little nephew has seen Aunt Lin, and I thank Aunt Lin by the way." My sister lost her appetite during her illness, and she ate the egg yolk bun and custard bun sent by Aunt Lin a few days ago, and her appetite was much better than before. ”
"Thank you, you still thank your Uncle Bao. Although the egg yolk bun and custard bun were made by my cook, Rong's daughter-in-law's things were not given by me. It was your Uncle Bao who thought the dim sum was good and sent someone to send it over. Daiyu gave Qin Zhong a big gift.
Although her impression of Qin Keqing is not bad, but it is only good, as for sending things to her, her relationship with her has not yet reached that point, and she did not do this, so she naturally has to explain the matter.
After saying that, Daiyu didn't care what Qin Zhong thought, because she still had something to do here, so she left on her own.
When I returned to the West Chamber, I saw a kind mother sitting on the square bench in the house, who was Lin Jin's grandmother Tao Mama.
When Daiyu looked at Mama Tao, she wanted to cry first, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and asked like a cannon: "Mama Tao, why are you here?" How are you doing at home? Is my father's health okay? How's Sumire's go? Is Brother Lin still naughty? Are Aunt Wan and Mrs. Old Aunt okay too? ”
"Good, good, all good." Mama Tao said proudly: "The eldest and second masters are very good, and they look more and more like the master." The second master has also started to go to school now, and he is studying at the prefect's house in Yangzhou that was attached to the school before the uncle. Girl, you don't know, the second master finally became sensible, and the uncle became naughty again. Last autumn, one of the lord's lords, Jiang Daren, was appointed as the prefect of Guangzhou, and he stopped by to visit the lord when he passed through Yangzhou. This year, the uncle and the master said that they were going to go on a study tour, saying that it was better to read thousands of books, it was better to walk thousands of miles, and then they went to Liangguang to play, which scared us so much that we couldn't do it, but I didn't expect the master to laugh and say that it was okay.
