Chapter 782: Sudden Tribulation
Lang Jun just met the lord's house, and they all went to another place to talk, after a while, today's guests have arrived one after another, and the ladies have also gone to go shopping and joke under the hospitality of Miss Zhen.
"San Lang of your mansion, I don't know if I will participate in the big competition this autumn?"
"The third uncle never had the idea of entering the office, so although Weng's father also invited a teacher for him, he studied since he was a child, and although he was also familiar with the classics and history, he only did not care about the art. As soon as Sister-in-law Zhen spoke, Chun Gui noticed the implication, she didn't dislike the Zhen family, and was even willing to deal with Xiao Jiang's family, she also paid attention to Miss Zhen earlier, she was a good daughter who was generous and smart, in her opinion, she was a good match with Lanlou, and she simply told the truth to Sister-in-law Zhen.
"It's also good, the children of the original family can't all follow the official path, as long as they don't follow the habits of those squirting people, blindly greedy for pleasure, and know how to learn and receive, they won't achieve nothing." Sister-in-law Zhen didn't care at all whether Lanlou was enrolled in the department, and she didn't dispel her enthusiasm when she heard the truth.
took a sip of tea, and said: "I still thought that I had never heard that your Saburo was married to a lady, it should be that Zhao Gong planned to wait for Saburo Jun to get a reputation before talking about marriage, and today I heard Mrs. Gu say this, only to know that I misunderstood." ”
Sister-in-law Zhen can only talk about it here, after all, the Taishi Mansion is the man, if Chungui is interested, she will naturally continue the topic, if it is unintentional, then she can't go to the bright place anymore.
"I don't hide it from Mrs., the third uncle of my family is uninhibited, and his grandson has promised him not to interfere in his marriage, Weng's father is a generous elder, and he also thinks that the third uncle and the future wife can be harmonious and the best, regardless of what kind of daughter the family is, the most important thing is that the temperament can be harmonious with the third uncle, but the third uncle has not met a destined person so far, so the marriage has been delayed."
Sister-in-law Zhen understood this, not a refusal, let alone a promise, the meaning of Chun Gui was that Zhao Lanlou's marriage was not decided by his brother and sister-in-law, nor by his parents, but by Zhao Lanlou's own wishes.
This matter is a little difficult to do, the Zhen family is a traditional family, and the Taishi Mansion cannot be regarded as a good family, so there is no way to let the Zhen family's lady and the Zhao family's son-in-law come and go, and Zhen's sister-in-law is already feeling sorry in her heart.
"After a while, several elders of my family discussed going to the suburbs to escape the summer, but it happened that my grandson had a separate garden on the outskirts of the city, and the residences were ready-made, so I naturally had to accompany them, and my second sister would also go with them, but there were few girls in our family, and no one could be with the second sister, I still want to ask Jiang Niangzi if she has this elegant meaning, if Jiang Niangzi does not think that my garden is simple, and is willing to live for a while, I don't know if Miss Zhen is also willing?" Chungui took the initiative to ask.
She didn't mention that Lanlou would also go along, but Sister-in-law Zhen naturally understood the meaning of the words, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Zi Zhao has a garden in the suburbs of Beijing, which is a garden annex built by a famous family, and the scenery is very different from that of ordinary mansions. ”
As for whether the marriage is successful or not, it depends on the fate between the two children, and Sister-in-law Zhen is not a person who is rigid about small things, and she can trust the style of the Taishi Mansion and the products of the spring return
Okay, she will never indulge in the dirty things that ruin people's innocence such as the behavior of the children in the family, and of course she can trust her concubine, so she immediately expressed her will.
The banquet was held at noon, first of all, the seats of the Lang gentlemen, in fact, on the attic of the water pavilion where the ladies and their dependents were drinking and feasting on the Shicha Seaside, and the person in charge of entertaining was the eldest son of the Zhen family, he was the eldest son of Zhen's sister-in-law, and he had set up a family affair but had not yet married.
won the unanimous approval of all the gentlemen.
The big guy unanimously elected Zhen Yanqian as the commander, and selected Zhao Lanlou as the superintendent of wine by drawing lots, and the wine order was carried out for a round, and it was Dong Liulang who lost the most, but this is a large amount, but his cousin Dong Wulang was a little too strong to drink, and when the second round of wine order was completed, he said "lost for a while".
How do you know that it is gone.
Zhen Yanqian first noticed that something was wrong, for fear that Dong Wulang would not know where he was drunk, so he also said "lost company" and wanted to find someone in person, but his master couldn't get out of the attic.
A servant, I don't know when, he will hang a long sword at his waist, draw his sword out of its sheath and threaten - Zhen Lang stays, Dong Shilang comes with us, otherwise your cousin's life may not be guaranteed!
In fact, the main family Jiang Cairen took the lead in saluting everyone for a round of wine, and also made a domino order, because of the distance, I really didn't hear the noise in the room in front of Xiao Langjun, until a number of "servants" broke into the water pavilion, and all of them drew their swords out of the sheath with a fierce face.
The first to be frightened are the ladies.
Although they sat separately at a big table, but in this water pavilion, the pampered girl's family had never seen such a sudden and dangerous situation, how many of them couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time quickly got up and moved closer to the elders, and the spring return still had leisure to leave opinions, Miss Zhen was not in a hurry to come, but she helped the youngest lady today, until this time this girl has not forgotten the responsibility of being the master, and it can also be called a danger.
Xiao Jiang was also stunned, as the nominal head of the family, trembling and just about to question, but Jiang Cairen pressed her arm and firmly controlled the seat, and Zhen's sister-in-law, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Cairen, seemed to also pay attention to Jiang Cairen's movements, and her brows suddenly frowned: "Jiang Cairen, what do you want to do?!" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Cairen, but she smiled.
"Ladies, ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient."
This response is equivalent to no response, but Jiang Wanxi didn't pay attention to everyone's shocked and angry gazes, she slowly got up, walked a few steps, and went to Chungui's side: "Mrs. Gu, I want to save everyone's lives, but thanks to Mrs. Gu's cooperation, I don't know what evidence Mrs. Gu has on her, and you can be sure that it is Mrs. Gu's only after passing it over to Zhao Duyu?" ”
Before Chun Gui could speak, Lan Xin, who didn't want to stand behind her, was already furious, and stretched out her hand and pushed Jiang Wanxi: "What are you going to do?!" ”
Seeing that Jiang Wanxi almost fell down after being pushed by this, the servant woman beside her was suddenly furious, helped Jiang Wanxi first, and sneered: "What are you doing in a daze, let's take Miss Zhao's sacrificial sword first!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped in the face.
Chun Gui rubbed his wrists, and also smiled lightly: "Although I don't know what Jiang Cairen's purpose is, but you heard clearly, if you want to harm my Zhao family, even if it is just a slave and a maid, I don't think I will be at the mercy of you and others, and your servant woman of the Qin Palace's mansion actually wants to kill my second sister, how can I believe that you can still guarantee the safety of me and others?" You want me
cooperate, just punish this inferior servant first, otherwise, even if I wait for the corpse to lie in this Penglai Pavilion today, you don't want me to give in. ”
"Mrs. Gu's method of sowing discord is inevitably too shallow......
Before Jiang Wanxi finished speaking, she received a crisp slap on her face.
The person who did it this time was her cousin Xiao Jiang.
"Sister, you deceived me into befriending Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yi, and deceived me into inviting them here today, it turned out that you were using me...... Are you crazy? What the hell do you want to do?! If you have the ability, you will kill me first, you ...... I only hate that I was blind and did not see your malice......"
Although Jiang Wanxi was slapped sideways by a sudden slap, her expression was not annoyed, and she snorted and laughed.
"I only said that Ah Mei, you are simple, I didn't expect you to be able to adapt to the situation, in such a situation, you still want to choose your own husband's family, but Ah Mei, what's the use? If I succeed, you don't have to choose, if I fail, do you think you can still choose? ”
But as soon as the words changed, he raised his chin and instructed the "servant": "Mrs. Gu said that she is willing to cooperate only if I punish the subordinates who offended Miss Zhao, for the sake of His Highness's great cause, I am willing to give Mrs. Gu this face and kill this servant!" ”
The cold sword, with a command, immediately pierced the servant's chest.
Lan Xin covered her eyes and subconsciously buried her face in Chungui's arms, while Chungui's ears sounded the exclamations of many female dependents, she also felt Lan Xin's tears instantly wet her clothes, she comforted Lan Xin, ripped off the purse on her waist and threw it to Jiang Wanxi: "Take it, there is a private seal of mine in it, the seal can't leave my body, and my grandson will know that it is my private property when I see it." ”
——
Dong Wulang was held hostage after going to the toilet and wanted to return to the banquet, he was originally one of the children of the Jin State Mansion who was from the literature and sparse riding and shooting, and he was not even good at pounding pills and juju, and he was really a scholar who had no power to tie the chicken, and he was afraid that any strong servant woman could easily hold him hostage, so the private guard arranged by the King of Qin in the Penglai Pavilion escorted him to the Jin Mansion without any effort.
That's right, Dong Wulang was escorted to the Jin State Mansion, and his role was to tell the Jin State Duke that there was a traitor suddenly breaking into Penglai Pavilion, Mrs. Yi, Shilang, Liulang, etc. were all held hostage by the traitor, if the eldest brother Dong Ming did not go to Penglai Pavilion in person, Mrs. Yi and others would not be able to save their lives.
Dong Mingxu is the eldest son of Mrs. Yi, that is, the grandson of the Duke of Jin, who has been awarded the post of 3,000 battalions and 100 households, but he is responsible for night patrols, so he has not been on duty during the day, but as a military attache who has received the title, of course it is inconvenient for him to participate in such gatherings in Penglai Pavilion today, so he did not accompany Mrs. Yi to the invitation, only as the eldest grandson of the Duke of Jin, he is of course more important to the family than Shiro, Liulang and others.
But according to the law of etiquette, filial piety is second only to loyalty, Mrs. Yi is in danger, and Dong Mingxu can't ignore his mother's safety no matter what.
This threat is quite deadly.
It did force Dong Mingxu to compromise.
The Duke of Jin and the Prince of Jin were not at home, but were loyal to duty, but naturally they would hear the news sooner or later.
When Lan Ting received the personal token of Chun Gui, he naturally did not suspect that Chun Gui had fallen into the hands of the enemy, of course, he also understood that today's Penglai Pavilion party and Mrs. Yi, Shu Niangzi, etc. had already been invited, and the person who sent the seal also had to coerce Lan Ting not to go anywhere else except for discussing with the Duke of Jin.
If nothing else, the crown prince was kept in the dark at this time, unaware of a rebellion that was taking place to usurp the throne.
