Chapter 611: Eunuch Lao Jiang
Li Wanyan finally said a name.
Then she left in despair, of course Lan Ting and Chun Gui did not keep her, Lan Ting did not even hide her boredom: "I can see that the second cousin has no heart, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Li would even use her own sister again and again, and I thought that she could hide her scheming from the world without revealing flaws." ”
Chun Gui didn't bother to mention this eldest cousin again, and said: "Wu Wanggong is like a big sieve, His Royal Highness will really give me problems, how can I make up for so many loopholes?" ”
Even Li Wanyan can buy her eyes and ears to report to her, not to mention those political enemies and opponents, the king of Qi, the king of Qin, and the prince of Wei Guogong are all hands and eyes, and Chungui only feels that his head is upset and his eyes are full of stars.
"Chengzu ordered the relocation of the capital, Wu Wanggong has been idle, the palace people responsible for sweeping and repairing are either old and weak, or degraded here because of their crimes, life is naturally far inferior to those inner prisons in the imperial city of Beijing, some of them only want the present, and some are afraid of the future, in short, some small interests are enough to impress them, it is impossible to completely eliminate the eyes and ears, but I believe that Huihui will have a way to prevent it for a while." Lan Ting has great trust in Chungui's talent.
"In terms of food, Tao Cairen has been arranged, and will not let the people of Wu Wanggong have the opportunity to contact the water source and ingredients at the entrance, although these people are easy to buy, but they don't have the courage to carry out the stabbing with open fire, and the way to secretly poison has been cut off, at most it is just a ventilation report, my idea is to screen out some of the useful manpower, let them supervise the rest of the palace people, and at the same time strengthen the access control, fundamentally reduce the possibility of ventilation and reporting."
Chungui thinks that for example, the old eunuch that Li Wanyan bought may not be able to be used by her.
Not to mention how Chungui planned to repair the "sieve" of Wu Wanggong into a "tray", Li Wanyan, who had exhausted his scheming but was bored with the boss, cried loudly after returning to the Comfort House, and at this time there was no servant woman and maid by her side, and Hua Ying had not come back yet, and there was not even a person to persuade her, until Xu came over for dinner, and she heard that the eldest daughter was making a sad sound.
"What's going on? Didn't you go to Chun'er for dinner with Ying'er? How did you come back crying? Xu asked urgently.
Li Wanyan sat up at this time, sobbing and choking: "My daughter heard gossip in the palace of King Wu, and they were all talking about the cousin of the Gu family who did not abide by women's morals, so I persuaded her a few words, but it angered her, and my daughter thought that with her such willful nonsense, she might be punished by the Taishi Mansion, so she thought about reminding her in front of her cousin-in-law, and I don't know how my cousin slandered her daughter in front of her brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law actually listened to the words that his daughter instigated the internal supervisor of the Wu Palace to inquire about his whereabouts...... The daughter just asked Father-in-law Jiang about her brother-in-law's return to Anping Courtyard this evening......"
Xu Shi wrung his brows and beat Li Wanyan twice: "It's also your troubles, even your grandfather said that Chun'er is not as good as our ordinary women, and he can help His Royal Highness and the hand of the eunuch, and the son of the eunuch is not an ordinary eunuch, he can protect Chun'er thoroughly, and those gossips can't hurt the spring hair, what kind of idle do you say?" ”
"It's not because Mrs. Taishi's Mansion told me to restrain my cousin a little."
"Mrs. Tai is Chun'er's mother-in-law, and she is not your parent, so she can't obey Mrs. Tai's words."
"I'm not thinking about the child yet, I want to please Mrs. Tai, in the future, Brother Yao will be old enough, and Mrs. Tai will be able to go to the Zhao clan to learn if Brother Yao speaks, Daddy and younger brothers
There is no hope of entering the office, but I can't bear to let Brother Yao be like his father, and he will rely on farming to make a living in this life. ”
"You kid is really confused, it's for Brother Yao'er's consideration, and you can't afford to be willing to go far, you don't want to be the head of the Xuanzhuo Hall, he treats Chun'er so much, don't say a word, and I'm afraid that Brother Yao won't be able to enter the Zhao clan school?"
Li Wanyan's crying didn't even move her mother, but she suffered a few times, but fortunately, the Xu family still felt sorry for her daughter, that is, in the future, Gu Chun returned to her grandfather to complain about the evil, and her mother explained it for her, and she saved herself from being punished by her grandfather.
However, Li Wanyan still has a layer of scheming: "This time it is indeed my daughter who is confused, I am afraid that my brother-in-law will be bored with her daughter after listening to her cousin's words, won't it affect Brother Yao?" I also hope that A-Niang can let the eldest brother turn around in front of her brother-in-law for her daughter. ”
It turned out that Xu's eldest son Li Mu and Lanting were quite good friends, and the two often talked when they were in the capital, but Li Mu and Li Wanyan's eldest sister were not very compatible, for this time Li Wanyan insisted on coming to Jinling, Li Mu disagreed, you must know that Li Wanyan played these tricks again, and he refused to turn around for her, and only Xu spoke, Li Mu may agree.
For the sake of the future of the youngest grandson, the Xu family did not refuse the eldest daughter.
This night, he told Li Mu: "Your sister is indeed confused about this, but her intentions are good, and she is really Chun'er...... is very different from other women in the back house, and there are a lot of rumors, and even the lady of the Taishi Mansion is dissatisfied with Chun'er...... In short, for Brother Yao'er, you have to turn around for your sister, and you don't need to say it too obviously, just mention your sister's difficulties with the premise, she is a person who abides by the rules of morality, and she is indeed worried that Chun'er will not be tolerated by the rules of morality, although we were in a wild place like Tielingwei in the past, your sister is always polite, virtuous and thrifty, husband and child, she has high hopes for Brother Yao, and it is also because of the hard work of being a mother that she left the clever ......"
Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh: "This is what my sister taught A-Niang to say?" ”
Xu: ......
"What kind of temperament is my sister, and I can't stress it to her? Only A-Niang believes her sister's nonsense about Brother Yao'er! Even if my sister has the compassion of being a mother, how can she be willing to abandon her husband and children and come to Jinling with her? ”
"What nonsense, how did your sister become an abandoner."
"Ah Niang, although my words are ugly, but I have to give Ah Niang a wake-up call, my sister is restless, since she was pardoned, she has been thinking about it, I used to think that she was just because she didn't look down on her brother-in-law because she was not what she used to be, and today I listened to Ah Niang's words, and I understood my sister's true intentions!"
"You kid, the more you talk about it, the more bizarre it becomes, what intentions can your sister have."
"She is a talent who is from a high family, and she thinks that her husband should be married without regrets, if A-Niang doesn't teach her sister a lesson, just wait to see her sister do more ugly things!"
Xu: !!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Seeing that his son was about to leave with his sleeves, Xu pulled Li Mu's sleeve in surprise and suspicion.
"When I want to say it, it's a shame to say it." Li Mu still brushed his sleeves away in the end.
Xu thought about it and decided to "restrain himself" this terrifying thing alone, she thought that this should be her son's misunderstanding of her daughter, there has long been an estrangement between the two sisters and brothers, so the son speculated about his eldest sister with the greatest malice, why should he let his daughter know about this matter? Hengzhu's son will not ruin his sister's reputation in front of outsiders, and he can only let his daughter if he breaks it
Not to mention the embarrassment, it is more and more useless to the relationship between siblings and siblings.
So when Li Wanyan asked about this again, Xu only reassured her: "Mu'er said that he would think about Brother Yao'er, but he is Brother Yao'er's uncle." ”
"Did the eldest brother tell his brother-in-law those words?" This is actually the only thing Li Wanyan wants to know.
This somewhat triggered Xu's heart disease, and even the smile was a little reluctant: "I think your statement is a little inappropriate, if you really say this, isn't it a little resentful of Chun'er?" Our family can rely on Chun'er to be forgiven and stay away from that bitter cold place. ”
Li Wanyan stopped squeaking.
Spring returned inexplicably and received a heavy gift from his eldest cousin.
"This is the real work of Minan Palace!" Chungui looked at the scroll unfolding on the table, and couldn't believe his eyes.
"I came to Jinling City, by chance in an ancient painting shop, originally this painting and calligraphy also pasted a layer, because of this disguise, so how many connoisseurs have looked away, did not spend a few money, but the object is precious, I originally wanted to pay tribute to my grandfather, but his old man refused to take advantage of me, now even Daddy did not dare to receive, although I know the antique business, but do not cherish these collections, for nothing more than profit, but really want to transfer the masterpiece of Minan Palace to others to trade, grandfather is afraid to break my leg first, Thinking about it, it's best to give it to my sister. ”
Since the big cousin said so, the spring return will no longer be polite refusal, and never more than one move to pay the money, Mi Fu's true handiwork is a priceless treasure, no amount of gold and silver is enough to repay the big cousin this affection, but although the big cousin did not say anything else, the spring return was faintly aware that the big cousin seemed to be apologetic, and it was clear why this apology came from in a turn of his mind, and the left was just the big cousin heard about Li Wanyan's little trick.
It's just that since Li Mu didn't say anything about it, there is no need to bring up the old things again when she returns to the spring, she accepted this heavy gift and said that she would not care, no matter what Li Wanyan had, she only recognized her grandfather's family and other relatives, so that she would not damage this friendship because of Li Wanyan.
As soon as Li Mu said goodbye, Qingping called the Jiang Gonggong, who was already an old eunuch in his sixties, his face was almost wrinkled and uneven, and his face was full of flattery before he spoke, but his eyes did not roll around, and he didn't dare to raise his head to stare at Chungui, he looked like a character who knew the rules, but he was very slippery.
As soon as he heard Chungui ask him about accepting bribes to spy on the whereabouts of Deputy Envoy Zhao, Gonggong Jiang was not flustered, and only bent his old waist down a few points: "The old slave is old, he can't live long, and he has no children and no daughters behind him, the picture is nothing more than a few dollars in hand, leave some benefits for the godson, and one day when he kicks his legs, the godson reads on the name of father and son, and finds a quiet place to put a coffin on the old slave to put into the ground, so as not to be carried to the human field because there is no one to collect the funeral." Mrs. Li gave the money to the old slave, the old slave accepted it, and asked nothing more than to pay attention to when Vice Zhao would come to Anping Courtyard for her, it was not such a sinister thing, and the old slave did not refuse. ”
Seeing that this old eunuch was not threatened at all, Chun Hui would not use deterrence again, she smiled and said: "I have a lot of money here, it depends on whether Father-in-law Jiang wants to earn it or not." ”
"Let's hear it." The old eunuch raised his face slightly, so that Chun Gui could see his more flattering face.
