Chapter 140: Auntie
What Yuan Niangzi said is reasonable, now is indeed not the time to make extraneous branches.
Xie Huai will be promoted to Hangzhou Zhizhou after the year.
Although Fan Zhizhou has now gone to Tokyo City to report on his work, Xie Huaizhi cannot be regarded as an official Hangzhou Zhizhou now.
has not officially taken office, which means that there are many pairs of eyes underneath, and they are staring at it fiercely at the moment.
Everyone wished that Xie Huaizhi would make a half-star mistake.
They caught on to it and made a big fuss.
And behind Xie Huaizhi is the Xie family, the old lady Xie, and the Rong'an Marquis Mansion and the third prince Concubine Rong.
Almost half of the families in Hangzhou City are among the reserves in Tokyo City and stand in line.
Some people stood for the eldest prince, some people stood for the second prince, and some people stood for the fourth prince.
If Xie Huaizhi really made a mistake.
Even a small mistake can be magnified and said to be bigger.
At that time, it will not only be the old lady Xie of Xie Huaizhi's Xie family, but also the three princes and concubines Rong in Tokyo at this moment, as well as those big families and princes who are standing beside the three princes and concubines Rong.
Xie Huaizhi's position as the governor of Hangzhou, although Fan Zhizhou deliberately left it to Xie Huaizhi, Xie Huaizhi's political achievements in Qiantang over the years are not bad.
But the qualifications are still much less than those of Fuyang County, Lin'an County, and Zhenjiang County.
Those who have spent most of their lives in the position of magistrate.
Looking at Xie Huaizhi, who is dozens of years younger than him, and promoted to Hangzhou Zhizhou, how can he be comfortable in his heart?
Besides, the documents of the imperial court have just come down.
If the mother and son are not in harmony because of these old events, then Mrs. Xie's planning and efforts over the years have been in vain.
And after the year, the Xie family will move to Jinling, and then Xie Huaizhi will also move from the position of Hangzhou Zhizhou.
After Xie Huaizhi arrived in Jinling City, Mrs. Xie took the path of the Hou Mansion, and found an idle errand for Xie Huaizhi under the Jinling Prefect.
Today's Jinling prefect can be regarded as a person from the Hou Mansion.
These things were all arranged for Xie Huaizhi by Mrs. Xie early in the morning.
It must not be because Xie Yunjin was investigating those things behind his back that Old Madam Xie's original plan was disrupted.
After thinking about it again, Mrs. Xie still decided to call Mama Fang and Yuan Niangzi to her side first, and she wanted to tell the two of them a few words.
Mama Fang and Mrs. Yuan are Mrs. Xie's henchmen.
Everywhere, Mrs. Xie is the most important, and she will not leak these things out in a sentence.
Jin Niang had already instructed Yuelan to go back to Qiantang first, and was ready to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to find Aunt Na Ding.
Although Aunt Na Ding was poisoned by Mrs. Xie with a bowl of dumb medicine back then.
Aunt Dante is not confused in the end.
Those things back then, presumably she still remembers them vividly.
In the spring of that year, Xiaoniang relied on the favor of the old lady several times and steadily pressed Mrs. Xie down.
Aunt Ding also knows this.
Aunt Ding is a forbearant character.
Old Madam Xie used to admire this person.
Old Madam Xie originally wanted to unite with her and attack Aunt Ding.
But she refused.
Aunt Ding is the mother of Mrs. Xie and the maiden family of Mrs. Ding.
After Mrs. Ding left, Aunt Ding lost her asylum.
Aunt Ding, who lost her asylum, was in an embarrassing situation in the house, because she was not favored, and she had no heirs, even the maid who was waiting for her crossed Aunt Ding several times and bullied her.
But she couldn't bear it.
At that time, the head of the house was holding the card key by Chun Xiaoniang.
Even if Mrs. Xie had the heart to help her, she was powerless.
But in the end, Nachun Xiaoniang was still defeated at the feet of Mrs. Xie.
Later, Mrs. Xie disposed of Chun Xiaoniang, and Aunt Ding was also an insider.
Aunt Ding knew about it, but kept quiet.
She knew that she was soft-spoken, and Mrs. Xie spoiled her concubine and killed her wife, and the favored Chun Xiaoniang was lawless, and she crossed the old lady Xie several times, even after the death of the old lady Xie, it was a common thing for Mrs. Xie to attack Chun Xiaoniang.
However, Mrs. Xie was worried that Aunt Ding would leak the news when she went out, so she made this decision and poisoned Aunt Ding's throat.
Therefore, in Aunt Ding's heart, she must still hate Mrs. Xie.
If Jin Niang found Aunt Ding, Aunt Ding couldn't speak, but she was still in good spirits.
If she wrote down the events of the year on paper and told Jin Niang, with Jin Niang's ingenuity, she must still be able to see some clues.
Ruo Jinniang doubted herself and knew that she was not Huaizhi's biological mother.
or sued Roche for all this, or sued Huaizhi, and finally made the mother and son incompatible. That's not good.
For today's plan, only one step ahead of Jinniang and find Aunt Na Ding.
As long as she secretly disposes of Aunt Nading, she can't write a word.
In this way, even if Jin Niang has suspicions and no evidence, she will not be able to investigate in the end, and she will not be able to do so.
Old Madam Xie thought that she really knew Xie Yunjin.
But in the end, she found out that she didn't know Xie Yunjin at all.
She thought that she had planned it seamlessly, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was still a hundred secrets.
"Yuan Niangzi, which Zhuangzi does Aunt Ding live in now? Who's around?"
Old Madam Xie tightly held the rosewood Buddhist beads in her hand, slowly stirred, and asked Yuan Niangzi.
When Aunt Ding was disposed of, it was Mrs. Xie who instructed Mrs. Yuan to go down.
So Yuan Niangzi still has some impressions of the things that happened back then.
Yuan Niangzi thought about it and truthfully replied to Mrs. Xie.
"Old lady, now Aunt Ding lives in Shanfuzhuang outside the city, which is located in the middle of nowhere, and the surrounding Zhuangzi is now inhabited by some old and weak women and children. At the beginning, the old lady said that Aunt Ding didn't like to be disturbed, so she personally instructed the old slave and brought Aunt Ding over. ”
Shanfuzhuang outside Qiantang City.
It was Mrs. Xie who married into the Xie family and privately purchased the Zhuangzi.
Because after Mrs. Xie married into the Xie family, she found that the Xie family was not as good as the legend.
Although there is no worry about food and clothing, the foundation of the family is too thin.
The ancestral property left by the ancestors to the old lady is dozens of acres of fertile land, a few shops, and a few small Zhuangzi.
Together, the harvest of these things in a year is only a few thousand taels of silver.
But the Xie family's annual expenses are at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Mrs. Ding has several properties in Hangzhou, but in the end she still can't make ends meet.
When the old lady was still alive, the old lady secretly stuffed Mrs. Ding with a year's worth of silver, not to mention a few thousand taels.
There are eight or nine thousand taels of silver a year, and there is no income from the side, but I am afraid that even the monthly silver of the maid in the house will not be able to afford it.
Therefore, after Mrs. Xie married into the Xie family, she privately purchased dozens of her own properties, as well as a few Zhuangzi shops, and also invested in the fleet.
Money is used to make money, and there is always money in the house, which is enough to spend.
However, Mrs. Ding died of illness, and in order to treat Mrs. Ding's funeral, the old lady spent 10,000 taels of silver in one go.
At that time, the house was still the housekeeper of Chun Xiaoniang, and Mrs. Xie couldn't intervene.
almost lost all the silver left by the Xie family.
The steward of Shanfuzhuang came out of the Hou Mansion with Mrs. Xie, with the surname Ma and a single name.
Ma Bao's daughter-in-law is the Zhao mother-in-law who serves in the outer courtyard of the Xie family.
After Yuan Niangzi returned to Xie's Mansion with Mrs. Xie, Yuan Niangzi was instructed to go to find the Ma Bao daughter-in-law.
