Chapter 61: Learned
Xiang Zhu told Yan Qi how he broke into the house, how he got the antidote, and how he asked about the news that Uncle Wen had been missing for two days, and then went back to Beijing to help find people.
Jiang Lingran listened to it for a while and didn't come back to his senses.
Is there anything else to show for her besides the hot spring Zhuangzi?
Is it worth his unsparing help?
Or is there something she doesn't know?
Hurriedly found a little guy who had entered the city with the big tiger and asked: "You have been in the city in the past two days, what special news have you heard?" Or maybe something big happened in the DPRK and China? ”
The little servant said: "I've been looking for Uncle Wen for the past two days, and I haven't paid much attention to the news in the city. ”
"However, there are two things that I don't need to inquire about, and I have heard some of them, girl, do you want to hear them?"
Jiang Lingran said: "What's the matter?" ”
The little servant said: "The Wang family wants to do a happy event." ”
"I can't say anything well." Qingyu reprimanded lightly: "There are so many people surnamed Wang in the capital, which one are you talking about?" ”
The little guy scratched his head and said, "It's Wang Zhenyuan's family." ”
Wang Zhenyuan is Zhang Yiyuan's husband and Meng Zhipei's uncle.
Because Jiang Lingran married into the Pingsu Marquis Mansion, Xiang Zhu and others also inquired about the Wang family. Hearing what the little guy said, he said: "The Wang family has a simple population, and Wang Zhenyuan has never accepted a concubine. For so many years, the two have only one son, Wang Chaoyong. Seventeen years old this year, right? You are talking about a happy event, but Wang Chaoyong wants to marry a wife? ”
"It's not Wang Chaoyong." Xiao Wu shook his head: "It's that Wang Zhenyuan, he fell in love with a girl in Hualou and spent a lot of money to redeem her as an aunt." ”
"Now that the Wang family is in a mess, Zhang Yiyuan cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, almost killed, and even Jingzhao Mansion was alarmed, but it didn't make Wang Zhenyuan dispel his thoughts."
"Yesterday, Zhang Yiyuan carried a burden and took Wang Chaoyong to live in the Pingsu Marquis Mansion. Mrs. Lao Hou felt sorry for her sister and sent someone to warn Wang Zhenyuan. ”
"Who knew that Wang Zhiyuan was soft-mouthed, and he opened his mouth and said: Meng Zhipei accepted seven or eight aunts in one go, and I only have one, which is not benevolent and righteous?"
"The words came back to the Pingsu Marquis Mansion, and I almost didn't make Mrs. Hou angry."
Jiang Lingran was surprised: "You heard it right, right? Is Wang Zhenyuan going to marry his aunt? ”
The little guy nodded: "Little conviction." ”
It's no wonder that Jiang Lingran is so stunned, it's really Wang Zhenyuan who is a famous wife!
Since the Wang family moved into the capital, Zhang Yiyuan relied on the momentum of the Pingsu Marquis Mansion to fiercely grasp Wang Xuyuan and the Wang family's money.
Wang Chenyuan has seen Jiang Lingran a few times, but he doesn't even dare to raise his voice, how dare he go to the flower house and marry his aunt now?
Could it be that he has been pretending to be afraid of guilt for many years?
It's unlikely!
Xiang Zhu still remembered Zhang Yiyuan's way of preaching to Jiang Lingran. snorted coldly: "When I scolded the girl, I said that it was most normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it fell on her, but he didn't care about the old face and wanted to live or die, which is really disgraceful." ”
Zhang Yiyuan's most common show off is the "Wang Zhenyuan's affection and thoughtfulness" created by herself, and now that her dream is shattered, she was slapped in the face, and she is naturally annoyed and angry. Thinking of the secret loss he had suffered in Zhang Yiyuan's hands in his previous life, Jiang Lingran felt a small sense of pleasure in his heart.
Seeing Xiang Zhu's cheeks puffed out angrily, he smiled and coaxed: "Okay, there are people on the left and right who have nothing to do with us, don't be angry." ”
The little guy said another thing: "An Lubo's house has been raided!" ”
"What!" Qingyu and Xiangzhu exclaimed in unison, and then looked at Jiang Lingran in unison: "The Bodhisattva has appeared!" ”
The surprise in Jiang Lingran's heart was no less than that of the two of them.
An Lubo was sealed by his ancestors, and he led the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, he can be regarded as a very decent family in Beijing, why was his house suddenly raided?
Qingyu couldn't bear it, and said hurriedly: "You tell me carefully, what did they do?" Why did you raid your home? ”
The little guy hurriedly said: "It was said that An Lubo's son was bumped into by Yan Qi when he committed the crime, and Yan Qi's dissuasion was ineffective, so he directly sued the royal court." ”
"The father and son are one to harm others and the other to cover up, it seems that there is more than one. The emperor was furious, and the three divisions were tried. At present, there is no end to the case, but from the matter of raiding the house, some clues can be seen. ”
Anyone in Beijing who is raided from his house must have committed a real crime, and he will be beheaded and exiled at worst, or dismissed and deposed at worst.
Jiang Lingran's eyes were dilated, and his expression was stunned, but his heart was like boiling water, and he was not like talking.
What a coincidence!
These two things are so coincidental!
In that tea room, Yan Qi asked her, Zhang Yiyuan came to her to find her unhappy, how did she plan to fight back?
She felt that Yan Qi was watching her jokes, and scolded him angrily.
Was there regret or regret on his face at that time?
Although he didn't know exactly that it was Shan Zhiyuan, according to his ability, it was not difficult to know.
In the blink of an eye, he sued An Lubo and his son.
Jiang Lingran is sure that even if Zhang Yiyuan's matter is a coincidence, the matter of An Lubo's father and son is definitely not!
He's angry for her!
Suddenly remembered that when she put a dagger to his neck, he said that he did not look ill will.
Thinking about his help in finding an antidote and looking for Uncle Wen, Jiang Lingran was confused, she thought she had comprehended human nature.
It turns out that it has not.
After all the things she had gone through in her previous life, she had forgotten how to trust someone.
When encountering people and accidents, they mostly treat them with evil.
But now, it seems that she has to temporarily abandon this deformed concept, and go to see this person once with a clear heart.
In the city, Yan Qi came to King Xin's mansion.
Xinwang Yan Gu walked out of the mansion and saw Yan Qi standing with a horse whip in his palm, and he shook it off without a serious Yan Qi.
His gaze briefly fell on the horsewhip with a golden dragon buckle engraved on the handle.
It was given by the emperor, only this one, the emperor got a rare eye after getting it, and said that he would use it again during the autumn hunt, but he somehow got into Yan Qi's hands.
The things given by the emperor should be good to worship, but here in Yan Qi, there has never been such a concept.
A different color appeared in King Xin's eyes, and he quickly suppressed it, he smiled and said gently: "Why did you come here at this time?" Dinner available? ”
Yan Qi turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw King Xin, he also smiled: "The cook was driven away by me, and he has no food to eat, so he came to you to eat." ”
King Xin smiled helplessly and invited someone into the house.
In the hall, Yan Qi saw that the people who served tea and water were all small servants, and said with a smile: "After the death of the princess, you have become more and more pure-hearted. ”
Princess Xin is the eldest daughter of the governor of Yongzhou, who had a difficult birth four years ago and died twice.
King Xin and Princess Xin had a deep relationship, and after Princess Xin died, King Xin almost went with her.
In the past two years, the emperor has repeatedly proposed to re-elect a concubine for him, and the Ministry of Rites made a special trip to draw a few girls' small faces for him to choose, but he turned a blind eye and returned to the emperor to say that he would be subject to three years for his wife.
rejected the emperor speechlessly.
This year is the fourth year, and looking at the way he looks now, it doesn't look like he wants to settle down.
