It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhou lost her temper, she really has never seen such a stupid servant woman as Liu, in front of so many people, in order to defend herself, she openly put the responsibility on the master's mother, this servant woman is still a pro-servant woman?

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu didn't realize that Liu's words were inappropriate at all, and blindly shouted: "Even if the Li family and you live in Mrs. Ji's house, even if you are innocent?" There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention that Mrs. Ji still has adult children in her family, so she can't keep ......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows: "The old lady is so bold, and Mrs. Ji is also something you can casually denigrate?" The old lady didn't know that Mrs. Ji was a martyr virgin of the first emperor's royal mouth, if Mrs. Ji still had a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the door, how many houses in this world were clean? ”

She pulled the tiger flag of Emperor Guangzong, and directly choked Mrs. Gu, even if she had the upper hand, of course Mrs. Shen would continue to expand her victory: "I originally listened to the grievances of the eldest girl Gu, and secretly suspected, I miss you Fenyang Gu family, although in recent years, few of the children of the clan can become a big weapon, and they are also considered to be officials and eunuchs. ”

Seeing Mrs. Shen, who was a big step behind her, her face was clearly scornful and contemptuous, and Mrs. Gu's anger, it was out of control, and she couldn't help it, not to mention that she didn't want to endure it: "Mrs. Zhizhou, has she made up her mind to target the Gu family in Fenyang?" ”

Mrs. Gu was still sensible at this time, and hurriedly said, "Madame, don't misunderstand......

"Misunderstanding?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows: "Let me ask you, do you want to coerce Mrs. Li to give the eldest girl to Zheng San as an outer room?" ”

"This ......," Mrs. Gu said.

"How can this be considered a threat!" Old Lady Gu said angrily: "Aunt Weng and her husband of the Li family have both died, how can the elders of the clan not worry about her daughter's marriage?" Zheng Sanye is the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, this marriage is not a loss to her eldest daughter at all, she is well-intentioned, she wants to seek stability for the daughter of Jicang, but she doesn't want to be bitten back! ”

"Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of being a concubine in the outer room, and it is even considered stable, don't say that your Gu family is an official eunuch family, just say that the common farmer, but if you can get by, you don't want your daughter to be a nameless outer room."

Mrs. Gu hurriedly explained: "Madame doesn't know, Zheng Sanye didn't originally want to accept only the outer room, but the third master's main room is the county lord of the clan, although he does not object to Zheng Sanye taking concubines, but he has words first, and he doesn't like the concubine room in front of him, so Zheng Sanye wants to accept an outer room, but it is not nameless, but it is placed outside, and even the Duke and Mrs. Rongguo also approve it." ”

"No matter what you think, according to the law, the marriage is recognized by the words of the parents and the matchmaker, even if the eldest girl's father and ancestor died, she still had her mother at that time, the clansmen can only propose, without the approval of Mrs. Li, the marriage of the eldest girl Gu cannot be arranged by you, not to mention repeatedly forcing each other."

Seeing that Mrs. Shen refused to back down at all, Mrs. Gu was also anxious: "Where do we dare to persecute it?" In other words, Aunt Cang doesn't agree, so it's just that. ”

"In this way, Zheng San, in front of everyone's eyes, openly wants to forcibly kidnap the eldest girl Gu, is this his bullying and has nothing to do with the Fenyang Gu clan?"

Mrs. Gu wanted to nod, but suddenly realized that it was wrong! She is the first point, doesn't that put all the responsibility on the Rongguo Mansion? So no matter how this matter develops, the Gu family will not be able to end well.

Mrs. Shen's apricot eyes swept the silent crowd around, and then accepted it when she saw it: "There are some things, the old man of Zhizhou should be punished, as a female dependent, I have no right to pursue it, today's main intention, I still want to say for Miss Gu, this child is filial, although he has suffered so many grievances, he didn't think about how to treat the elders of the sect family, but her aunt is deceased, she is a daughter, of course, she can't see that the deceased mother can't be buried in peace, and she is also ruined as a wife, and her reputation is not guaranteed." ”

But when Mrs. Gu saw Mrs. Shen's soft attitude, she thought that she was a strong outsider, and she didn't dare to offend the Rongguo Mansion to death, so her arrogance rose again, and sneered: "The Li family has been designated as a wife by the clan elders, and our female dependents are not allowed to agree, as Mrs. said, how many things can be done, and the old body can only accept it, and today's Mrs. will tell her grandson." ”

Mrs. Shen was not angry, and said with her chin bowed: "Then I will say that another old lady may be able to be the master, as soon as I see Miss Gu, I will meet my eyes, and Mrs. Ji is also very praised, saying that Miss Gu is filial piety and martyrdom, my eldest son, now that he has reached the age of marriage, he can match his niece and granddaughter, and now that Mrs. Li has passed away, the marriage of the eldest girl, the old lady can be regarded as the master, if the old lady thinks that the lintel of my Zhao family is not defiled, the old man of Zhizhou will officially invite the matchmaker to come to the door to propose. ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone was shocked.

Zhao Jiangcheng, as the newly appointed parents of Fenzhou, the wealthy family under his jurisdiction will naturally inquire about the origin of this parent official, not to mention Zhao Zhizhou's ancestor Zhao Qianwen Zhenggong, can be described as one of the legendary figures since the founding of the People's Republic of China, even in Fenyang, compared to the Rongguo Mansion, which is a level worse, it should not be underestimated, such a family, is actually willing to marry an orphan girl for the eldest son?

Don't say that the spring return, that is, Mrs. Shen is asking to marry the daughter of the Zong family, and the old lady and the eldest lady must be busy nodding and agreeing, I am afraid that they will have to go to see if there is any green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

But it was the return of spring, which made the old lady and the eldest lady unable to bloom.

Mrs. Gu lowered her head with regret, and the old lady's expression stiffened, so she could only say: "This matter, the old body must also discuss it with his grandson before replying." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled: "It's okay, then I'll just sit here and wait." ”

He no longer paid attention to the people of the Zong family, and only beckoned Chungui to come over, and she was alone and noisy, so angry that the old lady Gu stared at Chungui with more and more fierce eyes.

She also said that the Li family, although she returned to the Zong family with Chun today, but did not come to the inner house with her, she trusted her daughter's judgment, and believed that although the old lady Gu was fierce, in fact, none of the clan affairs could be the master, and they all had to obey the ideas of her husband Gu Changrong, so compared to the tricks of the women in the inner house, the rivalry of the men in the outer house was more important.

As soon as she saw that Yin Jiyu, although he had no official or position, but Zhao Zhizhou's wingman proposed to invite all the clan elders to be present before he was willing to tell his intentions, and put up a straight and upright shelf, so that when the sect chief Gu Changrong did not dare to offend and could only obey, he became more and more convinced that Mr. Yin was extraordinary and acted much more reliable than Zhao Zhizhou.

And Yin Jiyu did live up to the high hopes of the Li family, and as soon as he said the intention, he didn't want to listen to the repudiation and quibbles of the elders of the Gu clan at all: "Li Niangzi and Gu Da Girl lived, and they were invaded by strongmen, although they were not violated thanks to the assistance of their neighbors, but they also complained to the government, this case was pending, Shi Gong was promoted and transferred, Zhao Zhizhou reviewed the case, was very angry, and pursued it below, who knew that he first learned from the mouths of a few people who privately lent money to make huge profits, and the head of the Gu family ordered Sun Gu Huaying to buy these markets, lured his brother Gu Huaqu to take out a loan, and then came to the door to force the debt, with the intention of embezzling Gu Huaqu, that is, Li Niangzi's property. ”

As soon as his words came to an end, his eyes burned and he looked around for a while, and saw that not only Gu Changrong, but also all the elders of the clan here had changed color, and Yin Jiyu knew that the shock was effective, and then he said slowly: "Then I touched the melon, and I learned that it turned out that the so-called strongmen were also idle men who were bought by Gu Huaying, and the intention was to damage the reputation of the eldest girl Gu...... I was surprised, since the Gu family's family had succeeded in embezzling the property of widows and orphans, why should they be wiped out, could it be said that the Zong family and Gu Juren were in the same room, and they had a deep hatred? Sent people to Guhuai, Huailin, and Fenbin villages to inquire, only to learn that both farmers and squires were talking about the Gu clan's persecution of widows and orphans in order to cling to the powerful. ”

is not as arrogant as Old Lady Gu in the face of Mrs. Shen, Gu Changrong is in front of Yin Jiyu, a wingman who can't even be counted as a clerk, but he is in a cold sweat and lost his soul, and when he pleaded, he was pale and powerless: "This ...... It's really groundless......"

"Groundless wind may not be without cause." Yin Jiyu kindly corrected Gu Zongchang's inappropriate words, and said: "Today, I was sent by Master Zhao to make a special trip to deal with this old case, so that Gu Gong could learn that although it was your sect's internal affairs, Master Zhao had no right to interrogate, but Ling Sun was involved in a criminal case, especially a strongman invasion, Li Niangzi had complained to the government, but the case had not been closed. ”

Under this admonition, the clan elders couldn't sit still.

To say that when they heard that Zhao Zhizhou's wingmen called for questioning, they didn't have much anxiety and worry, it was because although they all understood that Zhao Zhizhou's background was not trivial, but it could be described as an iron-clad prefect, in comparison, the Rongguo Mansion could not be offended, not to mention that Zhao Qian is a legend again, this legend has also become a thing of the past, the lesser of two evils, the clan elders do not think that there is anything wrong with the decision of the patriarch near Zheng Gongyuan Zhao Mansion.

But if Zhao Zhizhou had already grasped the handle of the Gu family, and was determined to take the Gu family, it would be very different.

Gu family, although the ancestors did have a Shu Jishi, glory for a while, but with the children of the generation is not as good as the generation, the glory of the past is actually gone, of course, in a small village in Guhuai, it is still second to none, but it can't resist the surrounding areas, Huailin, Fenbin and other villages and other villages are eyeing the world.

A Fenzhou Mansion, resources are limited, in order to compete for power and profit, there has always been a lot of open and secret fighting, once Zhao Zhizhou takes the lead and suppresses the Gu family, those clans will definitely spare no effort to fall into the ground.

If the family wants to continue to be glorious, they must rely on their children to gain fame and become an official, Gu Huaying is now a student, but he was expelled for being a traitor, not only will he have no hope of advancing in his life, but he will also make many Gu children suffer criticism, if he wants to go to school, or even get promoted, it will be even more difficult.

Now is not the time to unite to deal with Zhao Zhizhou, and the clan elders all think about how to stop the loss.

There was such a person, blowing his beard and glaring at Gu Jizong: "Hua Ying has behaved so badly, your father is to blame!" ”

Immediately after everyone, they said to Yin Jiyu that they didn't know, they resolutely didn't know, and now that they know, they will inevitably severely punish the unscrupulous children, and they also hope that the old man of Zhizhou will open up and deal with it lightly, at least not to implicate the rest of the Gu family's children, and actually put Gu Changrong, the head of the sect, aside and no one cares about it.
