Chapter 33: Something Happened
Chang Ning was waiting for Shi Zhu to ask her.
She doesn't like Wang Xi very much, and now she even hates it.
In addition to Mrs. Tai's dislike of Wang Xi too much, which makes her jealous, there is also a big reason because Wang Xi is the same age as her, and she came to the capital to talk about good family affairs, and she feels that Wang Xi's appearance will occupy the resources of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion in marriage, and will make her reduce the chance of marrying a good family.
And so it happened, what she feared.
In Yunju Temple, Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang likes Wang Xi very much.
But she also knows that whether it is her mother or grandmother, she can only gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion by relying on her mother's brothers, so her mother values her nephews and nieces very much, that is, the Pan brothers and sisters; Her grandmother valued the Shi family's children even more.
She can't deal with Wang Xi, but Shi Zhu can.
"It's my missing second aunt's daughter," Chang Ning pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully, with a look of "who knows if it's true or not", and said disapprerovantly, "Although there is no quasi-letter, my mother told me this in private......"
She told Shi Zhu how Wang Xi entered the mansion, how her mother warned her, how Mrs. Tai valued Wang Xi, and how Mrs. Tai of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion liked Wang Xi, including Wang Xi's renovations of the Willow Garden for eight thousand taels of silver, some of which were exaggerated, and some of which were understated, all of them told Shi Zhu, and finally said: "I have also gone to see the garden, and it has really changed a lot, I don't know how much stronger it is than before." When she moves in, you'll be moving to Qingxue Garden. I'll be with you then, right? What do you think? ”
Shi Zhu's personality is very strong, the sister-in-law in the family all read that she is a sister-in-law, and she will marry after a few years, and she can please her mother-in-law, not only tolerate her bad temper, but also hold her, she has grown so big, except for Chen Luo, no one dares to really show her face, including Princess Fuyang.
She couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, glanced at Chang Ning, and said, "You don't have to use me as a gunman, what happens to Wang Xi is none of my business." As for the Willow Garden, even if I want to fight, I have to be able to see it. Since you want to be my companion, go and bring your usual things, I've been on the road for the past few days, I'm feeling very tired, I need to take a nap. I won't greet you. ”
Chang Ning made a big red face.
But she didn't dare to turn her face with Shi Zhu.
Not only because she can use Shi Zhu to make Wang Xi unhappy, but also because she can't afford to mess with Shi Zhu since she was a child - she knocked over her sister's clothes, and her sister scolded her a few words at most, and sued her parents in front of her, but Shi Zhu would ride on her and beat her.
She had her arm broken by Shi Zhu.
"Alright, I'll go next door first." Chang Ning looked a little sad and said, "Cousin Shi, maybe I spoke a little inappropriately, but I really didn't mean to take advantage of you." That Wang Xi doesn't eat our family, and she doesn't drink our family, maybe she will go back to Shu during the New Year. ”
After speaking, she turned around and walked out of the east wing where Shi Zhu lived.
Shi Zhu disagreed.
Mama Shan shook her head and gently persuaded her: "When will you learn to be tactful." What she wants to do, you can see it clearly, just don't do it, why do you have to stab her verbally! What's good for you! ”
"My heart is happy!" Shi Zhu looked very irritable, "Why do you have to let me live at my aunt's house?" Their house is a mess, I might as well go back to my own house! ”
Mama Shan sighed and said, "You are not young anymore, and it is time to leave the cabinet." The adults and the lady are not in the capital, you go out for a walk, you must have an elderly woman to take care of you, and it is best to live in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion. At least Mrs. Tai of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is a pure-hearted person, and she will not have any bad intentions or bad ideas. ”
This time, Shi Zhu was almost calculated by the wife of a guerrilla general under her father to marry her nephew. This is also one of the reasons why the Shi family pressured Shi Zhu to return to the capital and must set a major marriage event this year.
Shi Zhu knew that Mama Shan had something to say.
It's true that she's calculated, it's true that she's stupid, and she has nothing to say.
"Sleep!" She pulled the quilt over her face.
Mama Shan had no choice, sat with her on the edge of the bed for a while, quietly lifted the quilt, and found that she had fallen asleep at some point, knowing that she was too tired, she relaxed a little, and called Shi Zhu's personal maid Age to come in, and went to urge the maid to arrange the room.
*
Wang Xiwu woke up and didn't want to get up.
She felt that the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was getting less and less fun.
"Baizhu!" She asked the maid on duty, "How many Buddhist scriptures do I have left for my grandmother?" ”
Baizhu twisted a warm handkerchief to wipe Wang Xi's face, and said, "There are still two volumes left, and it will take about seven afternoons." ”
The Buddhist scriptures that Wang Xi copied for her grandmother were never fake, and they were all copied by herself. In her words, you can copy badly, you can copy less, you can not copy, but you can't speak and don't count, and you can't break the contract.
"Then get up and copy the Buddhist scriptures!" She felt that she had finally found something to do, and said, "When I have copied the Buddhist scriptures, I have to write a letter back and tell my grandmother that I will go back early." It's so boring here. I also don't want to rent a house outside. ”
Now she doesn't want to move to Willow Garden.
She even wrote a letter to her grandmother before she started copying Buddhist scriptures.
Baizhu knew that she was already very impatient, and when she was spending time in the study with Wang Xi, she took the time to give Mama Wang a look and asked Mama Wang what to do, if she wanted to send a letter to the big shopkeeper.
Mama Wang felt that it was very necessary, and discussed with Bai Guo, who was not on duty: "I'm afraid that the eldest lady will leave temporarily, so I have to let the big shopkeeper have a preparation." The eldest lord and the uncle should also say it in advance, so as not to worry about the eldest lord and the uncle. ”
Bai Guo and a few maids put the things that Wang Xi hadn't used much in the past few days back into the cage, and Mama Wang told Wang Xi to go and pass the word to the big shopkeeper.
Who knew that when it was time for dinner, Wang Xi came to Mama Wang with a sweat on his head: "Doctor Feng of Jimin Hall was invited by Lord Jin, the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, and today is the third day, and the person has not come back yet." Dr. Xiao Feng was so anxious that he was discussing a solution with the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper had already asked people to prepare gifts, saying that if Dr. Feng didn't come back tonight, he would visit Xie Mansion tomorrow. I don't know if I should talk to the eldest lady about this. ”
Jimin Tang is the name of Dr. Feng's pharmacy.
The backers behind their Wang family's current business are the Hubu Shangshu and Baohedian University scholars Xie Shi, who are also from Shuzhong.
Despite this, the Wang family's big shopkeeper in the capital will not visit Xie Mansion in his spare time.
Mama Wang's heartbeat stopped for a few breaths all of a sudden.
She clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths, and asked her son, "Do you know what that Lord Jin is from?" ”
The commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division is not the sixth grade, and he is not even an official in the capital. can not stand the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, where the prince and princess and the princess have no official father, and the prince and the prince have nothing to do, they will either give the commander or the deputy commander, no matter what.
Therefore, the most difficult things to mess with in the capital include these commanders and deputy commanders.
This Lord Jin can force the big shopkeeper to find the Xie family, but I'm afraid that things are not so simple.
Mama Wang thought of what she heard from Bai Guo and them a few days ago that the second son and the second prince of the Zhenguo Mansion had also gone to find Dr. Feng.
What is this called?
The people of the Wang family have seen Dr. Feng and saved their lives.
Wang Xi hurriedly said: "It is said that it is the former brother-in-law of the eldest princess Baoqing." ”
Mama Wang was stunned and said, "Could it be that the eldest princess of Baoqing still has dealings with the family in front of her?" ”
"There's nothing going on." Wang Xi said in a low voice, "The family in front of the eldest princess of Baoqing, I heard that it was to save the emperor from dying, and there were two underage sons in that family at that time. Later, the eldest princess of Baoqing had to arrange for her again. This Lord Jin is the second son of that family, and he has a hereditary commander on him, and he is still on an errand in the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses. ”
"It's not going to be doing things for the second son of the Chen family, right?" Mama Wang muttered and stood up suddenly, "No, I have to talk to the eldest lady about this matter." "I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with Chen Luo, and it will be troublesome if it involves the eldest lady.
She said to her son, "You wait for me here." The eldest lady went to Mrs. Tai's, and I thought of a way to deliver a letter to the eldest lady and ask her to come back early. ”
Otherwise, Mrs. Aether's temperament is only afraid that she will leave everyone in Yuchun Hall to talk for the first half of the night.
Wang Xi agreed, hurriedly had dinner, and helped calculate the accounts of repairing the willow shade garden, and Wang Xi rushed back.
"What's going on? Tell me more about it. She looked solemn, "I've already asked Bai Guo to take care of it, and we'll rush to Jimin Hall before curfew." ”
Wang Xi responded, while telling Wang Xi what he heard in detail, and at the same time went to the willow garden with Wang Xi.
The house over there has not been fully repaired, but the alley behind it is already carable.
When they arrived, Bai Guo was already waiting, and there was a carriage parked beside him.
Mama Wang helped Wang Xi into the carriage and told Bai Guo: "You are optimistic about the door, don't let the people in the house talk nonsense." ”
Bai Guo nodded.
Wang Xi drove, and Mama Wang, accompanied by green silk and red silk, rushed to Jimin Hall.
The shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed Wang Xi and the others to the back study.
They waited for a while before waiting for Feng Gao.
"Why are you here?" His face was full of exhaustion, and when he saw Wang Xi, he was a little worried, "There is nothing wrong with us, if there is something, I will definitely tell you, please help." If you run out like this, what if you are discovered by the officers and soldiers on patrol? In different parts of the capital, the officers and soldiers patrolling the curfew are all guards of the Son of Heaven, and we don't have anyone to trust in this regard, so it's not easy to greet them. ”
Wang Xi suddenly found that the Wang family's path in the capital was still too thin.
If it was in Shuzhong, it would be impossible to worry about these things at all.
She had a faint thought in her heart, and it flashed again, and was covered up by her worry about Dr. Feng.
"There's no news from the guy surnamed Kim yet?" She asked repeatedly, "In what name did you invite Grandpa Feng over at that time?" Have you found out who is sick in their family? Did you come out to grab the medicine? Didn't you pick up medicine at our pharmacy? Have you got a prescription? ”
If you know the prescription, you will know what the disease is.
They can prescribe the right medicine and know how to talk to the people of the Xie family tomorrow.
"It's just that there's nothing that worries." Feng Gao shook his head, "There is no news when the master enters the Jin family." ”
