Chapter 596: Moths
Old Madam Zhai's moth came quickly, and within half an hour of the palace planner's front foot saying this, the back foot Old Madam Zhai sent the maid over to "invite" the couple to come over for questioning.
Jiang Baoqing didn't raise his eyes.
Gong Ji even lazily refused directly: "...... It's getting late today, and it's not good for me, as a grandson, to disturb the old lady's rest for the sake of a mother-in-law. You go back and tell the old lady, and you will say that when I come back from the division tomorrow, I will go to say goodbye to the old lady. ”
The maid who came to pass the word stood under the hall with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "Uncle, the old lady is still waiting there......"
"What," Gong Ji said lazily, "the mother-in-law surnamed Wang is more important than the old lady's body?" ”
Where did the maid dare to answer this, she shrank down: "Uncle......"
"Why don't you hurry up and talk back?" Gong Ji glanced at it coldly, and the maid was so frightened that her face was pale, and her legs were weak and she almost fell.
Mi Liu helped her aside, so as not to embarrass her in front of her master.
The maid couldn't care about being grateful to the willows, and hurriedly retreated.
Gong Ji snorted coldly, and the maid's legs, who had not yet left the house, softened again, and she held on to the door frame to stabilize her figure, and almost fled in the wilderness.
……
The maid knelt aggrievedly on the carpet in the side hall of Shou'anju, and repeated the words of the palace plan word for word.
Old Madam Zhai's eyes widened when she heard this: "Ji'er really said that?" ”
The maid kowtowed, and there was still a bag of tears in her eyes: "The slave doesn't dare to arrange half a word of the master." ”
Old Mrs. Zhai covered her chest and said angrily: "Okay, they all said that they married their daughter-in-law and forgot their mother, but I think he only forgot my grandmother!" ”
"Mother, you dissipate your anger," Second Mrs. Wen, who was sitting in a chair on the side, hurriedly stood up and handed over a cup of tea, "Speaking of which, it was also Mama Wang who was too anxious to let the Jiang family catch such a mistake." ”
Old Madam Zhai sneered: "No matter what, Mama Wang is the grandma that my old wife pointed out to their juniors, and they only have to bear it, how can they just drive people out like this!" ”
The more Mrs. Zhai spoke, the more angry she became, and she called out Yuecui: "...... Go get my cloak! ”
He was going out in person.
Second Mrs. Wen's heart moved, if Old Madam Zhai was so angry that she personally came to the door to teach the eldest grandson a lesson, then the palace plan would ......
But she made a dissuasive look on her face: "...... Mother, I can't help it, it's already dark outside......"
As she spoke, she gave Yuecui a look, telling her to be numb with her hands and feet, so as not to change Mrs. Zhai's mind again.
In this way, one pretended to stop, the other had the intention to go out, and Shou Anju was chaotic for a while.
Coincidentally, there was another incident at this time, and someone in the courtyard of Second Mrs. Wen came to report that Aunt Shan, who was married to the Yongguo Mansion, had returned.
Back to my parents' house at this hour?
Second Lady Wen's expression flashed with anger, which was fleeting.
When she faced Old Madam Zhai again, Second Madam Wen had a worried look on her face: "...... Mother, Shan'er's child, although it is not my own, but I watched it grow up when he was young. Although he is a little cringe, he is not such an impolite child who goes back to his parents' house at night. Something must have happened, I'd have to go see it. ”
Saying this, Second Lady Wen also had some secret hatred in her heart.
Blocking this matter for the palace plan, the coming day is long, and I am not in a hurry to this time tonight. But Gong Shan's affairs are not handled well, and if there is any gossip that spreads, it may affect her reputation.
Right now, she's showing Gong Wanxiang people!
Gong Shan is a girl from the second room, the same generation as Gong Wan Gong Jing, and the eldest daughter of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.
A few years ago, Second Mrs. Wen told Gong Shan about an excellent family, the eldest son of the second room of the Yongguo Mansion.
It stands to reason that concubines are generally married to concubines, or the sons-in-law of people with lower lintels. But Gong Shan, as the concubine of her aunt's early death, was able to marry into a family like the Guogong Mansion, and she was still the eldest son of the second room.
A few years ago, when the news of the engagement first came out, the whole capital was full of people who could find such a good family affair for the second lady of Kuawen, the mother-in-law, who was really a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue.
Although Mrs. Zhai prefers her grandson, Gong Shan is also her granddaughter who is really related by blood, even if it is a concubine.
When she heard this, she was also a little genuinely worried, and complained: "Okay, you can go and have a look." Shan'er, this girl, why is she so willful, go back to her parents' house at this hour, let outsiders know, how bad is it for Yongguo Mansion? ”
Second Mrs. Wen echoed two sentences and left in a hurry with the maid.
After such a delay, Old Madam Zhai didn't have the heart to go to Jingxuan to find the palace to settle accounts.
Yuecui had been waiting for Old Madam Zhai for a long time, peeking at her expression, thinking about it, and mentioning Gong Shan: "...... Speaking of which, the slave maid remembered that when the eldest girl had not yet left the pavilion, every time she came to say goodbye, she often asked a question before answering, and she looked very quiet. ”
Even though it was her granddaughter, Mrs. Zhai couldn't help but say: "Where is quiet, it's clearly Mune!" ”
Yuecui pursed her lips and smiled: "...... But the eldest girl is also very filial, you forgot, your favorite stove cover, or the eldest girl embroidered it for you in half the autumn. ”
Saying this, Old Madam Zhai's thoughts were led to Gong Shan by Yuecui, she chattered, not noticing that Yuecui had already put her arm around her, and was holding her back:
"Hey, that child, it's just too shrunken, I remember that her aunt was timid and sick when she was alive...... Why didn't you follow the second child's cheerful temperament. But the girl followed her father even more......"
"The old lady is right."
"I remember one year, the girl made me a pair of shoes for my birthday, and I thought I had to say two auspicious words, right? As a result, she said yes, but that timid look really makes people like it......"
After all, she was old, and when she talked about Gong Shan, Old Madam Zhai turned her head and forgot about being angered by the palace plan, and complained to Yuecui, and was put into Shou'an Ju.
……
Speaking of Second Mrs. Wen's side, she hurriedly entered Gong Shan's courtyard, and saw that the small courtyard where no one had been in the pavilion since Gong Shan came out of the pavilion was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of sobbing in the house.
Second Mrs. Wen was displeased, she paused at the door of the house for a while, stabilized her mood, and then entered the door.
As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Gong Shan, who had always been cowering, almost pounced, knelt down in front of her, crying so much that her voice was a little hoarse: "Mother, please save me." ”
The words that Second Lady Wen was about to say swallowed when she caught a glimpse of the corner of her black clothes exposed behind the screen, and replaced it with a caring tone: "My son, what's wrong with you, why did you come back at this hour?" But what happened? How do you cry like this? ”
