Chapter 362: Enter Beijing
It's already October, and the weather is a little cold, Xie Yuanniang was a little silent after receiving Wang Boyan's letter this time.
The letter wrote about the accident in Dong Shangshu's mansion, only Dong Shi, a married girl, was not implicated, and everyone in Dong Mansion was imprisoned, although Wang Boyan did not say it explicitly in the letter, she could also hear that Dong Shi was having a hard time now, and what made her feel heavy was that Ren Zhenzhen was married, and the other party was Cheng Rong, the side branch of her husband Cheng Fu in her previous life.
Ren Zhenzhen is only fourteen years old when she arrives for the Chinese New Year, but she is engaged so early, Xie Yuanniang doesn't know the reason, but she can't help worrying.
She thought about carrying Ren Zhenzhen to the old path of her previous life, but because of Ren Xianhong's affairs, Mrs. Ren never let Ren Zhenzhen associate with her.
Xie Yuanniang could only send a letter to Wang Boyan, asking her to meet Ren Zhenzhen in private, ask about family affairs, and even persuade Ren Zhenzhen outside of the words.
The letter was sent away, Xie Yuanniang was still thinking about this matter in her heart, or Kong Cheng saw that she had something on her mind, and Xie Yuanniang couldn't find someone to talk to, so she told him about it.
Kong Cheng said with a smile, "According to what you say, the Ren family has the right to speak is that Ren Xianhong, so he asked people to persuade that Ren girl, it is better to say it directly to Ren Xianhong." As an elder brother, he would never watch his sister jump off the fire. ”
"What the fourth brother said is reasonable, it's just that I, a woman in the boudoir, can write a letter to a man in a family." Xie Yuanniang has other worries, "I said that Cheng Rong is not good, and there is no evidence." ”
"You know this yourself, and you're still hurting your mind here, aren't you also asking for trouble?" Kong Cheng looked at her with a smile, "Okay, you can't take care of other people's affairs, then take care of your own affairs, there are guests coming to the house these days, and you can cheer up." ”
"The fourth brother can say that he is a guest, he must be a distinguished guest, I don't know who it is?" Xie Yuanniang asked curiously.
Kong Cheng smiled, "It's my grandfather's protégé, and now I'm an official in the court, so this time I should be passing by here on business and coming to visit my grandfather." ”
I see.
It has nothing to do with herself, Xie Yuanniang didn't think much about it, but after the guest came, she threw out a message, which shocked Xie Yuanniang.
The Kong family, who has been living in Jiangning County, is moving to Jinling City.
At this time, Xie Yuanniang knew that the person who came to visit her grandfather was Zhao Shoufu, another chief assistant of the dynasty.
When there was no one, Xie Yuanniang thought of Zhao Shoufu, her expression was very solemn, Zhao Shoufu was the second prince's person, and in his previous life, he did not end well because of the second prince's affairs.
However, the Kong family did not move to Jinling in the previous life, will there be an accident when they move to Jinling City in this life?
The matter of Confucius moving back to Jinling City is not something that she can make a decision as a boudoir woman, but Kong Daru is the head of the family, and he was invited by his protégé to go out of the mountain, and even gave lectures to the princes, which is not something that the family can change.
It is now October, the weather will get colder and colder day by day, the Kong family has no house in Jinling, and the emperor also gave the Kong family a house.
What's more, this time I went to Jinling, not the whole family went, Uncle Kong and his four younger brothers still stayed here in Jiangning County Academy, and their daughters naturally didn't have to go over, until Kong Wei moved to Jinling with Kong Daru as his son, so that the female dependents, that is, Mrs. Kong and Xiao Shu, followed by their two daughters.
In the past, the population was not large, and after half a month, it was on the road early.
Xie Yuanniang and Sister Yan sat in the same carriage with Xiao Shu's family, and Xiao Shu's family also had an objection to going to Jinling, not that she didn't like to leave Jiangning County, but that there were Xie Mansion and Kong Jirou in Jinling.
But what can she change as a housewife?
Her husband wants to be filial, and she can only follow.
The carriage they sat in was at the front, then in the middle carriage sat Kong Daru and Mrs. Kong, and in the last carriage was Kong Wei with Kong Shiguang.
Kong Shiguang is the son of Kong Erye and the second grandson of Kong Wei.
The eldest grandson stayed in the academy over there, and the great-grandson was too young to leave his mother's side, so he brought the second grandson over, and the reason was that the saint asked the children of the Confucian family to accompany the prince to study together.
Teaching to the prince, now there are only two princes, the second prince has been married for many years without children, and the third prince is only fifteen years old now, and he will be married at the end of this year.
Therefore, Kong Shiguang said that he was an accompaniment, but in fact, according to his age, he was also an accompaniment to the three princes.
Along the way, because Kong Daru and Mrs. Kong were old, they didn't walk fast, and one day they drove to Jinling, and there were people sent by Zhao Shoufu to meet here, and the line of the Kong family was very long, plus the people sent by Zhao Shoufu, it became a long team again.
When the convoy of the Kong family entered the city, he had already heard the news that Kong Daru was going to enter the court as the prince's concubine.
Xie Yuanniang sat in the carriage, looking at the street through the window, but she didn't expect to come back after going around and around.
The house of the Kong family was given in West Street, and the noble families in Jinling City all lived in West Street, and the house of the Kong family was originally lived by a county king before, and the county king had no descendants for several generations, so the house was taken back.
It is close to the Xihua Gate, so as soon as you enter the city, you don't have to go far to get to the place.
Although the house has not been inhabited for a long time, it is not dilapidated inside, and it has been repaired in advance, and the house and layout can see the elegance of the original house.
Xie Yuanniang and Sister Yan's yard is against the garden, secluded but gorgeous, and there are all kinds of verandahs and water pavilions in the yard, all of which are three-entry courtyards.
In front of the window of Xie Yuanniang's main house, a large piece of bamboo was planted, and the autumn in Jinling City came early, but the bamboo leaves were still green, and they looked vibrant.
As soon as the Kong family arrived on the first day, the Kong family brought someone to the door.
Kong's eyes were red, "Now my daughter can finally fulfill her filial piety by her father's mother's side." ”
"Your father and I are taken care of by your brother, so you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Kong heard that she came to Jinling before, and the first headache was this daughter.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Kong Daru, Kong Daru looked at his daughter with complicated eyes, he has never been an official in the court, and he also remembers the ancestral teachings passed down by his ancestors, but now he has violated the ancestral teachings, and in the final analysis, it is because of this daughter.
Because of the matter of raising the daughter of the Confucian family, the reputation of the Confucian family was damaged, and the resignation of Yuan Niang, the Confucian family can be described as full of holes.
Only in this way will the Kong family not be buried in the future.
Now seeing his daughter, Kong Daru's feelings are naturally complicated, and his doted daughter is also the one who has caused the Kong family to enter a dilemma.
"There's something going on in the front yard, you and your mother talk more." Kong Daru didn't know how to face it and left.
Mrs. Kong thought to herself that she knew that this old thing would know to run away when she encountered it, but in any case, without Kong Daru, the atmosphere was much lighter.
