Chapter 651: Slow Bait
Meng Zhi's eldest son, Meng Shen, is a serious imperial examination, but after two official positions, because of poor performance, he is now also hanging a vacant title and is actually idle at home, but no matter how idle he is, it is impossible to degenerate his mind to the point of "beauty" with the Lin family, and soon understood his father's worries, so he also frowned: "If Yuanhai really leaked that matter to the Yin family, the most suspicious person in Yin's heart must be us, no matter what she thinks now, when she is ordered by King Zhou to stay in the palace of King Wu, he must not have doubts about King Zhou, those words, Most of the Yin clan had already sued King Zhou and Zhao Jibe. And even if the Yin family is now suspicious of King Zhou, she will not dispel her defense against us, and she takes the initiative to bring up this matter...... I suspect she's trying to use herself and her daughter as bait to trick us into going after her, if anything happens to her in our house......"
"Who would be so stupid as to really understand Yin's tricks?" Lin disagreed.
"Naturally, we won't harm the Yin family in this move, but what if she harms herself?" Meng Shen took a long breath: "In this way, King Zhou and Ji Bei will firmly believe Yin's words, no matter in Yin's opinion, whether King Zhou is the real murderer of Yuanhai or not, but she is only risking her own life, and she can put us in a situation where we can't argue!" ”
"Or maybe Yin's words and deeds are simply not what they mean." Meng Zhi thought about things even worse: "That means that he is already suspicious of us and using the Yin clan to tempt!" ”
"So we must appease the Yin family, so that he firmly believes that King Zhou is slandered, and Qian Baipo is the real murderer, so that at least there is a chance to turn around, and the next thing is to further dispel the doubts of Yuan Bei, we have to make Yuan Bei believe that even though Yuan Hai was killed by Yuan Dang, Yuan Hai is actually a member of Yuan Ji's party, which is Yuan Ji's strategy to kill two birds with one stone." Meng Shen offered advice.
Meng Zhi is obviously already six gods and no master, and he can only rely on his eldest son to make plans to resolve the crisis.
So after a short period of absence, the Lin family had no choice but to refuse Yin's request, and gently reassured: "If the lady really trusts my master, she should firmly believe that His Royal Highness and Deputy Envoy Zhao should live in Wu Wanggong with peace of mind, after all, Wu Wanggong is no better than ordinary mansions, His Royal Highness has so many personal guards in Wuwanggong to escort him, where else can it be safer than Wuwanggong?" I don't hide the lady now, although the lord has the position of Shangshu, but he has long been excluded from the center, but also this time the battle for the storage position, our Meng family as the old of Xuan Zhutang, has long been targeted by Qian Baipo, Pei Zhuo and others, in case the lady has any mistakes in my family...... Not to mention anything else, it is the same knowledge of Yuan, and it is difficult for the master to explain. ”
But the Lin family couldn't understand the thoughts of Weng's father and her husband, she secretly even complained to her eldest daughter-in-law: "What does the master mean, let's do our best to befriend Gu Yiren recently, and strive to find out more about the situation from Gu Yiren's mouth, on the one hand, and more importantly, through Gu Yiren, to win the trust of King Zhou's side, but I really can't understand, after the public trial, King Linzi's side has obviously controlled the odds, and King Zhou is about to be punished by the emperor, we still need to have such a low voice?" Zhao Ji, don't believe it or not, what matters to us, Xuan Zhutang is going to be difficult to protect himself! ”
Lin's eldest daughter-in-law is actually her niece, so not only is there no dislike between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the eldest daughter-in-law is young after all, and she doesn't have the confidence of her mother-in-law and aunt, so she doesn't express her own opinions, but only persuades Lin: "Weng Zu and Weng Dad act safely."
, It is indeed beneficial to the current chaotic situation, although Gu Yiren is young, she is very arrogant in her words and actions, but it is because Vice Envoy Zhao is now an important minister of the imperial court that she has been sought after by so many people, and she is like a heroine, but what is the truth? Don't we all know that? If it weren't for Gu Yiren's whim and befriending the prostitutes of the Zuisheng Pavilion, why would King Zhou's side face such a disadvantage? Therefore, Weng Zu is also sure that Gu Yiren's knowledge is not as good as his mother-in-law, so he can rest assured that he will let his mother-in-law talk about it, it is too cautious, but prudence also has the advantage of prudence, and the daughter-in-law knows that her mother-in-law is afraid of her daughter-in-law's grievances, so she said this today. The daughter-in-law said so much, but it was just to please her mother-in-law. ”
These words were indeed in line with Lin's intentions, and he hugged his eldest daughter-in-law: "They all say that I love you, it's not that I'm partial, you are indeed more painful than the second daughter-in-law." ”
Regarding the words of these people in Meng Zhi's family, Chun Gui naturally listened to Yuanhai tell the truth.
She also has a long understanding of the affairs of the Meng family.
Meng Shen has three sons, but the second son is a concubine, the eldest son of the Lin family has married a wife and has children, but the younger son has not yet been married, but although Meng Erlang is a concubine, he has already caught up with the eldest brother and passed the examination in one step, which is very valued by Meng Zhi, so the daughter-in-law who married this grandson of the long house was born a head higher than the eldest granddaughter-in-law, so the Lin family and her second daughter-in-law were born at odds and looked at each other unpleasantly, but there was no big contradiction on the surface.
Chun Gui's opinion is that Meng Zhi should only reveal to his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law that Meng Shen is the deputy helmsman who knows the overall situation, but the Lin family obviously only knows a little about it, as for the grandchildren, Meng Zhi did not disclose it at all, and it was the Lin family who told her daughter-in-law and niece the secrets she knew.
And Lin's self-assertion, Meng Shen should know it in his heart, and there are objections, which is the cause and effect of Lin's words "I all say I love you".
Of course, Chun Gui never thought of sending the Yin family's mother and daughter to the Meng family's wolf's den, she had long expected that Meng Zhi would refuse the Yin family's request.
waited for the initiative of the Lin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with peace of mind.
A few days later, Lin really handed over the invitation, but Chungui politely declined.
The Lin family automatically opened the door, and Chungui also found an excuse to refuse.
At this time, the Lin family panicked, and suddenly got close to Mrs. Zhou through an intricate relationship, and pulled Mrs. Zhou to come to the Wu Palace to ask for a meeting.
On the day of the return of spring, he said to Qingping: "No matter how careful I am, it seems that the Wu Palace is still a sieve, and the news that should be revealed will still be revealed." ”
The Zhou family was originally just friends and friends who returned to the outside family in the spring, although the Zhou and Li families had the intention of marrying, but because of the change, the two families were deliberately clarifying, and Lan Ting has not yet officially gone through the procedure of six ceremonies with the Zhou family, and the marriage between Zhao and Zhou is only at the level of oral agreement, and neither party has publicized it to the outside world, and the insiders are only limited to the core few, but the Lin family has put aside the closer affinity between the Dou family and even the Zhao family and the Xuan Zhutang, and has been thinking about the relationship between the Zhou family, as if they have mastered this inside story.
Clues are revealed unintentionally and in a hurry, so they can be called clues.
Chungui gave Mrs. Zhou courtesy, and finally let Lin see her as she wished.
It's just that there are private conversations when the three parties meet.
"When Mrs. Lin found the concubine, the concubine was suspicious in her body and mind, and she was too
can't be the master, so the prophet met the grandson, the grandson and the deputy envoy Zhao talked about it, the deputy envoy Zhao said that it was okay, the concubine dared to come out of this head, not to hide the pleasant, the concubine really did not understand these foreign affairs, a little idea in the heart, just not to make trouble for the deputy envoy Zhao, so that the dog was smooth and the heart of the family affairs, the little couple can be serious and beautiful in the future. This is Mrs. Zhou's private statement.
Chun Hui felt that although the Zhou family was just an ordinary gentry, the sincerity of the marriage with Xuan Zhutang was not to mention, and what was even more rare was that he could still see the situation clearly and know how to deal with the trouble that came to the door unexpectedly, so he took the opportunity to give Mrs. Zhou a quasi-sentence: "Although the grandson is reluctant to let the second sister out of the cabinet so quickly, he still sincerely recognizes Ling Lang's conduct, and the mother can rest assured, and when the affairs of Jiangnan are dealt with, the grandson will return to Beijing to report to the high hall, and he will formally negotiate the etiquette regulations such as the father and the mother." ”
When he turned his head to face Lin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Chun Gui's attitude was a little lukewarm.
The Lin family stubbornly asked Chungui about the Xuan Zhutang family, and there were ladies who were similar in age to Zhao Lanxin.
Apparently there was an idea of marriage.
Spring returns, but love to ignore it.
Lin had to poke the window paper by himself: "The daughter of the great sect of Xuan Zhutang, people like us naturally dare not climb high, but although the dog has not yet achieved fame, the college examination after the year is also sure to win the show, I am a mother, although I am looking forward to my son's smooth career in the future, but I hope that the marriage can be lucky, Yiren is the future wife of Xuan Zhutang, we are destined to meet in Nanjing, it is really a fake, I am not afraid of Yiren laughing at me, I am looking forward to Zhao, Meng and the two families can become in-laws." ”
"This is also what Meng Gong meant?" Chungui asked with a smile.
"Of course, Daddy Weng is also happy to see it, but I am afraid that Deputy Envoy Zhao will dislike the puppy and have not yet achieved fame."
But the Lin family didn't feel that her youngest son was not worthy of the ladies of the Taishi Mansion, but she felt that Zhao Lanxin was not worthy of her son.
When who doesn't know, although the second girl of Taishi Mansion is in the boudoir, it is no secret that her temperament is perverse and domineering, and this is just right, what is even more shameful is that she has a private relationship with a foreign man, and she still snatches love with a knife, such a woman is simply a scourge, who is willing to marry her home as a daughter-in-law?
It is the daughter of the small sect of Xuan Zhutang, I heard that there are a few who are indeed knowledgeable and reciprocated, if King Zhou is not defeated this time, Xuan Zhutang is not in decline, this marriage is quite acceptable, and it is not an insult to the second son of the Mengmen Great Sect.
But at present, the Lin family is just using this reason as a temptation, after all, she also knows that Gu Yiren doesn't know what Gu Yiren said.
Gu Yiren directly refused: "Fame or not fame is secondary, but Xuan Zhutang is a family, and most of them don't want girls to marry too far, so I can't agree to the lady's request." ”
Lin: ?
Don't say that your Taishi Mansion has decided to marry the daughter of the long house to Nanjing, just talk about Xuan Zhutang, although the hall name is laid in Beijing, but the ancestral home is still in Jinling, right? Far from marrying? Please, if Gu Yiren refuses, can you go to your heart?
The eldest daughter-in-law, Yao, couldn't hold back when she saw the statue of her mother-in-law, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't know Gu Yiren, but I know that Mrs. Yin came to our house two days ago, and she actually did it intentionally...... Because Yin Niangzi was worried about living in the palace of King Wu for a long time, she annoyed His Royal Highness and Deputy Envoy Zhao, and proposed to come to our house to live for a while. ”
The words were not too open, but the voice was as straight as a knife.
