As a well-educated grandmother in the vicinity, Mama Ke came to visit Mrs. Zhang first.

Mrs. Zhang felt a little confused.

This grandmother only taught the three girls the rules for a few days, although she didn't say anything after she went out, but she was also unhappy, why did she suddenly visit today, and said that she missed the three girls and missed them tightly, so she came to see the three girls coming?

But since people said so, Mrs. Zhang could only send someone to pass Zhang Meishou over.

After Zhang Meishou came over, he said some face-saving greetings with Mama Ke. The two of you said, "I haven't seen the girl for a long time, I really want to panic", and I said, "I also remember my grandmother", the degree of hypocrisy is so deep that Ah Li on the side wants to shiver inexplicably.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang had things in her heart, and she had no intention of leaving the guest grandmother to talk, and when Zhang Meishou proposed to invite the guest grandmother to her own yard to guide her to taste tea, Mrs. Zhang nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Mama Ke leave Songhe Hall, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face that she had struggled to maintain disappeared.

What she didn't see was that Mama Ke and Zhang Meishou were the same as her, and they had just come out of Songhe Hall, and they each put away their fake smiles.

After returning to Yuyuan, closing the two gates, and retreating from the maid in the hall, Zhang Meishou couldn't wait to ask: "Grandma asked about it, but there are eyebrows?" ”

The guest mother was gone and smiled in Songhetang, and under the seemingly majestic face, she said with a little defensiveness at this time: "The eyebrows are there, but I still have to hand over the rest of the remuneration to the third girl, so that I can speak." ”

Zhang Meishou was helpless.

Is this afraid that she will not be able to repay her debts?

No wonder she came to Zhang's house to look for her in person.

Zhang Meishou had to signal Ah Li to go and get the silver.

Ah Li pinched a piece of broken silver and walked up to Mama Ke and handed it to her.

Thinking of the silver ingot that day, Mama Ke didn't look at the broken silver very well, but the two of them didn't say the specific reward after the completion of the matter, and now they can only mumble a few words in their hearts.

She has always had a good face, especially in front of Zhang Meishou, she wants to hold the shelf all the time, she doesn't want to lose her identity, and she is despised by the unusual little girl in front of her - it is such a thing as sitting on the ground unreasonably and raising the price, and she really can't do it in front of Zhang Meishou.

I just thought that if there was a next time, I would have to set a high price in advance and slaughter this little girl openly.

"The woman that the third girl asked me to inquire about should be Jing who has been advancing in eight or nine years." Mama Ke didn't bother after receiving the money, so she told Zhang Meishou the news she heard: "And some people remember that when she first entered Beijing, she spoke with a foreign accent, like a native of Xiangxi, and it took several years to change that accent to 7788. ”

In just two sentences, Zhang Meishou's expression has changed drastically.

Beijing ...... in 89 years

At that time, the eldest aunt should have just married into the Zhang family for less than two years.

And the Xiangxi accent ...... That woman is also from Xiangxi!

Without waiting for her to ask, the guest mother said on her own: "Although this woman usually doesn't interact with the neighbors much, she usually has children with her, and there is only one servant girl by her side, so it is inevitable that the neighbors will meet - the woman called herself Jiang, and the Tao was widowed early, and her husband's family wanted to embezzle her dowry, so they drove their mother and son out of the house, and she had no choice but to come to the capital to join her relatives. ”

"I don't usually see anyone who comes to see her, except for a middle-aged man who occasionally comes and goes, and she tells others that it is her cousin."

When Mama Ke said this, she laughed vaguely: "But those mothers-in-law who have nothing to do all day long, and only talk about the shortcomings of the family, are so vicious eyes--they continue to inquire one after another, and they all say how the woman looks like an outer room secretly raised. He also said that the woman's child was at least five or six points similar to the middle-aged man. Some people also said that they had seen the woman with a big belly when she entered Beijing. ”

There are also many ugly or absurd and amusing speculations, because they are useless, and Mama Ke is too lazy to relay them to Zhang Meishou one by one.

When Zhang Meishou heard this, he felt that it was enough.

She was already sure that this woman was the "Jiang family" who later married her uncle as the daughter of the Jiang family.

And this woman happens to be from Xiangxi......

This is no simple coincidence.

It is all the more unlikely that the eldest aunt of the previous life fell ill and died shortly after her grandmother's birthday.

At that time, the uncle suddenly disliked the eldest uncle, and turned his head to welcome the Jiang family......

Thinking of what Zhang Qiuchi said earlier and his speculation about the eldest uncle, Zhang Meishou almost decided that there must be a close connection between these two things, which are far apart.

father, Aunt Miao, aunt, and this "Jiang family......

's father is far away in Huzhou, and he doesn't seem to know anything about it all these years, Aunt Miao refuses to speak no matter what, and the eldest aunt is opposed to the second room - then, if she wants to solve the puzzle, she must start from the "Jiang family".

If the "Jiang family" really has the handle to make the uncle completely disgusted with the uncle, why didn't he take out his hand earlier, and wait many years before speaking?

This is not difficult to explain.

First, the uncle and the aunt in the previous life "cooperated", the uncle secretly planned for the uncle everywhere, and held the feed with one hand, and the husband and wife could be said to have everything going smoothly, and rarely quarreled and quarreled. Under the premise of not being tested, the uncle has a little love for the uncle.

Second, before Zhu Youzhang ascended the throne, the imperial court attached great importance to the conduct of officials. Nowadays, any official who stays in the Qinglou prostitution hall at night may be impeached by the imperial history the next day and lose his good future...... Not to mention the scandal of disregarding secular etiquette such as having been in a private room for many years, and the illegitimate child may be older than the son-in-law.

And in today's situation, widows remarrying are also criticized.

Even if the uncle dares to go out and not have a reputation, he will never dare to gamble on his future.

Therefore, if the "Jiang family" in the previous life took out the hole cards in the morning, the eldest lady Liu, who was standing firmly in the Zhang family at that time, would not be able to tolerate her at all, and the uncle who was afraid of things would not be able to protect her, let alone marry her.

Thinking about it this way, this "Jiang family" is indeed a little smart and patient, and the luck in the previous life was also quite good - not only waited until the Deng family collapsed, and the eldest uncle was blamed by the uncle, but also waited until the imperial court encouraged the widow to remarry.

Speaking of which, this is all the credit of Zhu Youzhang.

But this life is different.

There are constant contradictions between the uncle and the eldest uncle, and the situation of the eldest aunt at home is already difficult.

The uncle's temperament, thinking about this time, he has not been nagging the uncle in front of the outer room.

It would be impossible for the outer chamber to say that it had no thoughts.

But that's not enough.

What can make people decide to stand up and take a risk is always "cornered".

After sending off the guest mother, when Ah Li turned back, she heard her own girl say: "Ah Li, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
