Text Chapter 27: Inquiry 6
"Isn't that right?" Cheng's mother chattered suspiciously, frowned and thought about it carefully, but still felt that this was a group of idle nobles who had nothing to do when they had friction when they were having fun, and then they fought, and finally accidentally injured a prince, so she argued: "This is a common thing, the reason why this time it is a big trouble is all because of the injury to the prince of Fu'an......"
Wei Man shook his head and asked, "Were there any other people with special identities present at that time?" ”
"The others ......" Cheng's mother thought for a while and said busily: "Yes, yes, Shen Shizi from the Fuguo Mansion is also there." ”
"Fuguo Mansion? The Queen Mother's maiden family? Weiman asked.
"Yes," Cheng's mother said, "It is the maiden family of the Queen Mother." ”
This is interesting, Wei Man asked with interest: "Then which side of Shen Shizi is from?" ”
"Shen Shizi ......" Cheng's mother recalled: "Li Zhong said that he didn't know that Shen Shizi was also there at first, and it was only after King Fu'an was injured that he saw Shen Shizi show up and send King Fu'an to the hospital with others......"
"He only appeared after Prince Fu'an was injured...... Wei Man thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then did Brother Li Zhong see clearly which box Shen Shizi came out from?" ”
"I haven't heard Li Zhong mention this," Cheng's mother hesitated: "Is this important?" Otherwise, I'll ask Li Zhong again tomorrow. ”
"No need." Wei Man hurriedly said, "I'm just curious to ask, speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with us at all, and in the current situation, we still use our energy in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion." ”
"Yes, yes, the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion is the right thing!" Cheng's mother patted her forehead and said, "Look at my memory, Li Zhong was afraid that Miss would worry, so he specially asked me to mention it to Miss, but I forgot it at this time." ”
"Oh?" Wei Man said curiously: "Brother Li Zhong asked his mother to tell me deliberately?" What's that going on? ”
"Li Zhong asked me to tell Miss that the matter of Ningguohou Mansion is very easy to inquire about," Cheng's mother smiled: "He promised, saying that it was what happened in the backyard of Ningguohou's Mansion in the morning, and he would be able to let Miss know clearly in the afternoon." ”
"This ......" Wei Man said incredulously, "I didn't expect that Brother Li Zhong was actually a good hand at inquiring about news?" ”
"How can you!" Cheng's mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "Li Zhong said, some of the subordinates of the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo are really unruly, provide a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and they can use the master's gossip to chat with you for a few hours without taking a break." ”
"And such a subordinate?" Wei Man said in surprise: "Aunt is not a person who can tolerate sand in her eyes?" There is such a subordinate in the house, why didn't he send it sooner? ”
"Miss doesn't know, this matter in the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion is very complicated." Cheng's mother explained: "Although the house is run by my aunt, but my aunt's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, is really not a good person, for so many years, Mrs. Jiang has been fighting with my aunt and grandmother for power, so that the people are naturally roughly divided into two factions, and there is no big problem with my aunt's people, but those who are attached to Mrs. Jiang have a big problem with their conduct...... Mrs. Bijiang is a person who makes trouble completely regardless of the occasion, and sometimes, she even pulls people to help...... The subordinates are scattered, and they have their own thoughts, so it's really good to inquire about something going on in that house......"
"How can it be so messy?" Wei Man sighed: "It's also a hereditary Hou Mansion...... "Even the subordinates can't restrain them, so how can they be prosperous."
"Humph!" Cheng's mother gloated and said: "Auntie, this is called a wicked person, and a wicked person grinds, miss, why are you in a hurry to marry the young master?" Scold! It was her good mother-in-law who took her niece and granddaughter to live in the house for a long time, and her aunt and grandmother were in a hurry. ”
"Niece?" Wei Man muttered.
"It's the daughter of Mrs. Jiang's nephew, it seems to be called, what is it......" Cheng's mother thought for a moment, clapped her hands, and said, "Ruoyun! Call Jiang Ruoyun's girl. ”
"Didn't you just pick up a niece and granddaughter into the house? Marriage ...... with her cousin" Suddenly, Wei Man thought of something, and looked at Cheng's mother with bright eyes instantly, and said, "Mrs. Jiang wants her niece and granddaughter to marry her cousin!" ”
"Miss is so smart!" Cheng's mother smiled: "Mrs. Jiang is exactly this idea!" ”
"I see." Wei Man suddenly realized that Wen Boyuan's reputation was not very good, and at the juncture when Mrs. Jiang was "eyeing him", he offended the prince of Fu'an again...... Seeing that she couldn't marry any noble girls, Wen Wei hit her head with the idea......
Wei Man asked clearly, "Did Mrs. Jiang do something to persecute her aunt?" ”
"Let Miss guess correctly again!" Cheng's mother smiled: "If you want to say that this Mrs. Jiang is really a unique person, she may be in love with the idea of long-term love, while letting her niece and granddaughter pester the cousin young master, while praising Miss Jiang in front of everyone, even a few days ago, she actually mentioned her nephew and aunt in front of the whole family......
"Huh!?" Wei Man grew his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to be such a "rough" person, so he asked curiously, "Then, what is the result?" ”
"Hehe......" Cheng's mother smiled: "It is said that my aunt and grandmother quarreled with Mrs. Jiang on the spot, but Mrs. Jiang said that my aunt and grandmother couldn't care about the young master's marriage, as long as my aunt nodded, but although my aunt was a little stupid, he was not a foolish person, so he immediately pretended to have a headache and escaped......"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Wei Man also laughed and said, "Mrs. Jiang won't give up easily if she thinks about it." ”
"Aren't you going to give up!" Cheng's mother said: "That night, Mrs. Jiang held the tablet of the old Marquis Wen and cried and scolded in the ancestral hall until midnight, and the next day she began to pretend to be sick in bed......"
Mrs. Jiang's behavior is not an exaggeration to say that she is a shrew in the market, Wei Man asked suspiciously: "This, Mrs. Jiang's maiden family, has it already fallen?" ”
"Where's the middle fall?" Cheng's mother sighed and said: "When Mrs. Jiang got married, there were only a few acres of land in the family, which was barely a family that could maintain food and clothing. ”
"Jiang family, is it such a family?" Wei Manqi said: "How could the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo be in-laws with such a Jiang family back then? ”
Wei Man had long heard that the old Marquis Wen was a fierce general who became famous at a young age, and the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo at that time should be in its heyday, and there was no reason to let the heir marry a prince with such ordinary conditions.
"I heard about this in my early years," Cheng's mother recalled: "It is said that the old Marquis Wen was hunted down and killed for something, and in a hurry, he went into a small mountain village and hid in a family's house...... The man of that family was killed in order to help the old Marquis Wen lead away the pursuers, leaving behind a son who only knew how to study and a daughter who had not left the cabinet...... After burying the man, the old Marquis Wen sent Xin'er to the capital to show his parents, and at the same time, under the witness of the local patriarch, he became close to the man's daughter, and that daughter is the current Mrs. Jiang......"
"So there is a story like this!" Wei Man thought with emotion, I am afraid that the old marquis Wen is ashamed and wants to repay the favor...... Although the approach of the old marquis of Wen can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, there are many ways to repay the favor, and Wei Man feels that taking advantage of his life to repay the favor is the most stupid and undesirable way.
"Did Old Marquis Wen's parents accept Mrs. Jiang like this?" Weiman asked again.
Although the old marquis Wen first reported the letter to his parents before getting married, but when the old marquis Wen and Mrs. Jiang got married, the letter should still be on the way to Beijing.
"Naturally, I didn't agree at first, hey," Cheng's mother sighed: "Sometimes, some people's lives are so good that you can't accept them!" Let's just talk about Mrs. Jiang, the old marquis was really good to her back then, no matter how the family put pressure, she has always tried her best to maintain it, and under coercion, she deliberately waited until Mrs. Jiang was pregnant before sending her back to Beijing...... It was also Mrs. Jiang's stomach that was angry, and it didn't take long for her to become a man in one fell swoop...... In the end, the palace also heard about the old Marquis Wen and Mrs. Jiang, so they rewarded Mrs. Jiang with some things, and with the approval of the palace, the Marquis of Ningguo had to recognize the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family...... However, back then, Mrs. Jiang, who was begging for a living under her mother-in-law, was a person who would tremble with fright when she spoke loudly, hey, I didn't expect it to be like this now......"
How can it be a change, it can only be said that without the suppression of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang has exposed her original nature, Wei Man frowned and asked: "Mrs. Jiang is so noisy, don't the other people in the house have any countermeasures." ”
"What can I do?" Cheng's mother sighed: "That Mrs. Jiang, it is said that she is a person who cries and makes a fuss whenever something goes wrong, my uncle is very stupid and filial, and he tries his best to meet any requirements of Mrs. Jiang, but it can't be done, so he hides out and can't see it...... Young Master Cousin may also be hiding from Mrs. Jiang, but he didn't expect to cause something bigger. ”
Wei Man gently stroked the tea cup in his hand, frowning and contemplating.
"What is Miss thinking?" Cheng's mother asked.
"Mom, Mrs. Jiang's niece and granddaughter is ...... Jiang" Wei Man thought for a moment and said, "By the way, it's called Jiang Ruoyun, what is the character of this Miss Jiang?" ”
