Chapter 416: Coming to Ask for Someone
Jingzhao Yin Hu Cong came to the Zhiyong Mansion.
His position was lower than that of Wei Zongyong, so he called himself a lower official.
He also came with Chen Guolao, his daughter Chen Shufei is very virtuous, although she is not as favored as Xu Guifei, but she is quite relied on by the Queen Mother.
Chen Guolao was also a loyal elder and was greatly admired by the ministers of civil and military affairs.
If it is fair, the Chen family's reputation is better than that of the Xu family.
Hu Cong saw Bao's Shi Li and said: "Today, Hu came uninvited and asked his wife to forgive him for the crime of being abrupt. ”
Bao Shi saw the ceremony, ordered someone to watch the tea, and said: "I don't know what advice Master Chen Guo Lao Hu has when he comes to my house today?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare," Hu Cong hurriedly said: "It's because yesterday when the officials went down to the court, a woman with a child stopped the sedan chair and shouted grievances, and Chen Guolao was also present at the time. Now she finally found her son on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, but the child was adopted by your mansion. ”
"So Master Hu came here to ask me for someone this time?" Bao put down the teacup and said, "I'm afraid that we will press you with our identity, so we specially invited Chen Guolao." ”
"Don't get me wrong, old man, I'm just having a good time." Chen Guolao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, the next official came just to verify, after all, the woman made a lot of trouble in front of my sedan chair, if I don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid there will be many bad rumors." If you just say that the official corpse is a vegetarian meal, I'm afraid that some confused people will say something bad about your mansion. "Hu Cong is a very clever person, and he has never offended people when he speaks.
"It's not impossible to verify," Bao said calmly, "I just don't know which child she is talking about?" I didn't adopt any children. ”
In fact, the woman was talking about abduction at that time, but Hu Cong thought it was too unpleasant, so he changed it to adoption.
"I don't know if there is a young master Hongan in your mansion?" Hu Cong asked.
"Yes, but he is the child of our Wei family, and his sister Yining recognized him back, how could he be wrong?" Bao Shi was stunned.
"I'm just afraid that there will be some mistakes in the middle," Hu Cong said, "that woman may also admit that she is wrong." ”
"Yes, so both sides should be allowed to make things clear, so as not to have some unnecessary disputes and rumors." Chen Guolao said: "Grandpa and Mrs. have always been the most sensible, and they will definitely not embarrass Lord Hu." ”
"Where is the woman?" Bao asked, "Call her up." ”
"The woman is waiting outside, I will call her in, and ask Madame to invite the little young master and the fifth lady of your mansion out." Hu Cong said.
Wei Yining tucked the corners of the quilt for Mrs. Zhu and said softly: "Grandmother will sleep for a while, and the pain will be lighter." ”
Mrs. Zhu said uneasily: "What the girl said just now wouldn't be Hong'an, right?" ”
"Grandmother, don't worry too much, I'll go out and have a look." Wei Yining said indifferently: "You have a good rest." ”
Wei Hongan stood at the door, slightly distracted.
Wei Yining took his hand and noticed that his palms were slightly damp.
"Hongan, what are you worried about?" Wei Yining asked him softly.
"Sister, will it ......" Wei Hongan wanted to speak and stopped.
"Do you know the woman?" Wei Yining asked him rhetorically.
Wei Hongan shook his head: "I can't remember what happened before, but I didn't feel any cordial feeling when I saw her." But she told me the origin of the scar on my hand, and my sister didn't know it. ”
"Hongan, it's not difficult to make up a lie with a scar, but my sister will never lie to you." Wei Yining said: "You don't have to worry about anything, and you don't need to tell lies. ”
Mother Guo came over and said: "Fifth girl, Madame invites you to go over with Young Master Hong'an, that crazy woman actually went to Jing Zhaoyin to complain, the girl went over to confront her for a few words, and it was over to drive her away." ”
"Mother Guo, why did the old lady fall?" Wei Yining asked.
"How do I know this?" Mother Guo spread her hands and said, "I don't serve in the old lady's yard." Let's take a good look at this matter when we have time, if someone is really making trouble, there will always be traces. Don't worry about this, girl, and then we'll talk about it when we're done with this matter. ”
Looking at Wei Yining's face, Mother Guo added: "I don't dare to play tricks in front of the girl, even if I put aside the girl's life-saving grace to me, I can't let go of my little grandson, right?" ”
"It's good that you know," Wei Yining said, "If there is anything when you get there in a while, you'd better help Madame come up with ideas." ”
"Don't worry, five girls, I have a count in my heart." Mother Guo responded in one bite.
Wei Yining took Wei Hongan to the main hall of the Zhiyong Mansion, at this time Chen Guolao, Hu Cong, and Bao were all there, and a mother and son were kneeling on the ground.
Looking at the appearance of the poor person, Wei Yining has never seen it, but Wei Hongan confirmed that the woman is the one who has entangled him several times.
"Yining, this is Chen Guolao and Master Hu, hurry up and see you." Bao gestured to Wei Yining.
Wei Yining saluted, and Hu Cong said: "Fifth Miss, forgive me, Hu is really forced today." Because you are the daughter of the government, you can't easily go to the yamen. Therefore, Hu could only use this expedient measure to bring the complaining woman to the house and confront Miss Fifth face to face. ”
"Master Hu is serious, it is right to obey the law, no matter how high or low, but I don't know what this woman is accusing me of? I've never met her. Wei Yining looked dignified and spoke decently, and he really looked like a lady.
"Fu, you tell the reason yourself." Hu Cong said to the poor woman kneeling on the ground.
"This young lady, I beg you to be merciful and give me back my son!" The woman cried and kowtowed and said to Wei Yining: "It's not easy for me as a widow to pull two children, Helang is the meat that fell off my body, I have been looking for him for nearly two years, sleeping in the open and starving and freezing, please give him back to me." ”
Wei Yining looked at this lady crying coldly, there was a child kneeling next to her, only three or four years old, also a boy, although the face was yellow and thin, but it was also a beautiful child, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Wei Hongan.
Wei Yining knew in his heart that the person who planned this matter had indeed worked hard.
"He Lang! Helang! You're talking?! Why don't you recognize your mother? The woman walked a few steps on her knees and hugged Wei Hongan: "You can't forget your book if you get rich!" ”
"Young Master Hong'an, do you recognize this woman?" Chen Guolao liked Wei Hongan very much when he saw him, this kid is smart and handsome, and he is really loved.
"I don't remember what happened before," Wei Hongan said truthfully: "I had a serious illness, I was in a coma for several months, and when I woke up again, I didn't even remember who I was." ”
