Early Spring in Gangnam (IIX) (Medium)

Mrs. Sun sat on the smoked cage, holding the freshly brewed Lu'an tea in her hand and gently turning it around, Mama Wang hurriedly walked in, too late to have more etiquette, waved her hand to let the other maids leave, leaned over and said to Mrs. in a low voice: "The lord did not receive the official at the city gate, and he is following the prefect and his party back to the prefect's yamen." The Inspector entered the city the day before yesterday, saying that he was staying at his father-in-law's house, Chen's house. ”

"Chen Mansion? Jiangnan Wenzhao Marquis Mansion? Which young lady's aunt? "Jiangnan Chen Mansion now lives in Chen Family's second master, Chen Chaozhong, and I haven't heard of Chen Mansion holding happy events in the past two years, so Mrs. Sun asked.

"Yes, it's Miss Chen's aunt. This uncle and Miss Ting Wei are childhood sweethearts, but because my uncle has been working outside, he was promoted and returned to Beijing the year before last, and Miss Ting Wei is young, so the parents of both sides engaged them very early, but they only married Miss Ting Wei last year. ”

"In the early years, I set up a family affair, so it must be a child of a family in the capital."

"It is the eldest son of the Gong Taifu family, thirteen years old into the office, and four years of Tanhualang, was once the youngest county of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for many years the evaluation of the officials are superior, has been valued by the emperor, last year from the Guozi Jian Siye was promoted to the four products of the Ministry of Servants, this year the emperor and the hand-picked officials to the Liangjiang patrol. It is said that he came all the way to the secret visit, and the officials everywhere do not know the identity of the patrol press. It wasn't until today that he arrived at the gate of Hangzhou that his entourage came to announce the identity of the patrol. ”

"Miss Tingwei belongs to Chen Chaoliang, right?" Madame Sun sighed secretly.

"Yes, it is the eldest daughter of Lord Chen's family, she is only seventeen this year, two years older than the eldest lady of our family, and now she is Mrs. Zhengsipin."

Mama Wang also sighed, Mrs. had the opportunity to marry into the Chen family. At that time, when the Sun family proposed marriage, the Chen family was also looking for a suitable wife for Chen Chaoming, the third young master of the Chen family, but the old lady thought that the third young master of the Chen family would not inherit the title of marquis, and the other was afraid that the Chen family would have a big business, and the young lady would not be able to be the master of the Chen family and be wronged. Choosing the Sun family, although it is a low marriage, but the Sun family only has some roots in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Sun family wants to go further in their careers, and they must have something to ask for in the capital, so that they can be manipulated. How do you know that more than ten years later, it still confirms the old saying, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice are born to burrow in the ground.

Her husband has the support of her father-in-law's family all the way, and he has only arrived at the Liangjiang Governor of Zhengwupin, and he has wanted to go further for so many years, but there is always no movement. On the other hand, the third young master of the Chen family is already a Chinese scholar in Sanpin, and there is only one lady in the family, and there has been no gossip for so many years. Now that her daughter is married to such a powerful uncle, the future of this branch is conceivable. The old lady also regretted that she had chosen the wrong son-in-law, over the years, the mother's family rarely mentioned the Chen family in Mrs. Sun, and she still knew some about the Chen Mansion in Jiangnan, and even less so in Beijing. Just because they don't mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Mama Wang sometimes thinks that if Mrs. hadn't married into the Sun family back then, maybe the family in the capital would be better than now. Not only is the master separated from her, but he is also a person with low eyes, and he has not been smooth in officialdom, which also directly affects the future of the eldest young master and the marriage of the eldest lady.

"Hey, the background of this Chen family, how can the people who intersect in the capital be bad. So, no matter what, we must let Yang'er go to Beijing and have a good future, he has accumulated a lot of popularity among Jiangnan scholars in recent years, and as the grandson of the Earl of Xin'an's mansion, it is possible to find a good family in the capital. ”

"It's just that the eldest lady's mind is really on the third young master of the Tang family." The day before yesterday, Mrs. Sun specially summoned Sun Yaojie to ask, she did like the third young master of the Tang family, and begged Mrs. Sun to find a way, Mrs. Sun vetoed this matter on the spot in order not to let her deviate, As a result, Sun Yaojie went back and cried for two days, and she didn't eat well in the past two days.

"What's the use of him? If she has a fighting father, there is still hope, It's a pity that she was born in the womb of me, an unblessed mother. If the third young man has not yet decided to marry, maybe he can lick his face and slap his grandfather's face to propose, now that everyone is engaged, how can we be qualified to take away other people's marriages. People should be self-aware, and don't think about things that don't belong to them. My daughter has to know how to advance and retreat, If she blindly thinks about men, doesn't respect her elders, and doesn't listen to people's advice, people will think that she is the child raised by the slut for me. ”

"Where can that slut raise a good child? Look at the commotion outside the gate of this mansion, the old man can't come back at the moment, and I don't know how they plan to end up. ”

"If it goes on like this, our grandfather is only afraid that this year's official assessment will not be good again, and he will not be able to take the exam every three years, why hasn't he been successful once. Hey, forget it, let's go clean up the mess for her. Give me a change of clothes, and let's go to the door. ”

As she was talking, she saw the eldest girl beside her, Haitang, walking in with a letter: "Uncle Jingcheng gave you a hundred miles to expedite." ”

Mrs. Sun took it and waited for Mama Wang to comb her hair, read the letter, and frowned: "It seems that even if I don't want to do it today, I will help that slut and that little slut." Begonia, you quickly hand over this letter to the eldest young master. Begonia went away.

"What did my uncle say?" Haitang went out, and only Mama Wang was left in the house to serve her to change her clothes and comb her hair, so she asked.

"The elder brother said that although this year's official patrol was said to be hand-picked by the emperor, it was arranged by the queen mother, and it was a secret decree to the parties, so it was difficult for everyone to find out the list of patrols in various places in advance. It was not easy for them to find out that it was Gong Shilang who came to Jiangnan this year. said that this Gong Shilang was upright and not pedantic, and when he was in the capital, our family Bingcheng and he used to work together in Guozijian, and they were very similar. Bingcheng also often mentioned his cousin Yaoyang to him. The elder brother asked Yaoyang to often find opportunities to meet him as a literary friend. Yaoyang is already on this year's talent list, and the ticket may soon be out of the main book of Honglu Temple. At this moment, they intersect regardless of rank and position. At this critical time, if it is because of the slut's business, it will affect the master's official reputation, and it will also affect Yaoyang, so we have to clean up the mess for her today. Yaoyang also needs to appear in front of Gong Shilang, so that people feel that the master is the master, and Yaoyang is Yaoyang. ”

"I hope that slut and a few sluts won't affect the eldest young master. When the old slave came in just now, he vaguely heard a few small guys in the West Cross Courtyard muttering, saying that Young Master Zu's matter is really nothing compared to Young Master Ming, and if it breaks out over there, I don't know how to clean it up. The old slave didn't ask much because he was in a hurry to talk to you. It's not a good thing to think about, though. ”

"You want people to figure it out and know it early, so that if there is really something, we will be caught off guard."

"The old slave knows."

"In addition, help me think about it, is there any way to deal with Tang Sanshao."

"Didn't you let the eldest lady get involved in this matter again?"

"Not for her, it's for the sun. The second sister-in-law's brother was the chief bookkeeper in the prince's mansion, saying that the third young man was very appreciated by the prince. Before entering Beijing this year, the prince exchanged letters with him every once in a while, and the letters were not fake, and his intimacy can be seen. For the sake of Yaoyang, we must not bother him about Jie'er's affairs anymore, but it is necessary to befriend him. As he spoke, he looked at his hastily arranged hair in the mirror, turned around and walked out. A group of maids waiting outside the door immediately followed, and a group of people walked towards the door of the mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Mrs. Li beside Ya Niang pulling the elder of a female dependent on the other side and saying: "You listen to my advice, the second lady promised to give you an explanation, and there will definitely be an explanation, otherwise it will really annoy Mrs. and not let your daughter enter the door, can you still marry her to a good family." Besides, she is a girl's family, fornicating with men, and has bad morals, and your own family is at fault, what does it matter to us. It is a matter of course not to let her enter the door, and it is my second lady who takes pity on her when she enters the door. ”

The lady angrily pushed away Mrs. Li and said loudly: "I can't talk to your unreasonable mother-in-law, let you people who can call the shots come out." The neighbors are all here, and everyone can watch how the Governor indulges his family and colludes with the thugs of the Dahe Gang to bully ordinary people. We have long said that our Ying'er is not voluntary, it was your second young master who asked her to tie her up and force her to comply. In order to keep us from suing the official, he repeatedly coaxed us to give an explanation. ”

"Don't talk nonsense here, it's obvious that your daughter is inappropriate to seduce my second young master." Mrs. Li was anxious.

Another elder on the other side gave Mrs. Li a slap: "I let you open your eyes and tell nonsense?" My Ying'er went to Temple Street to buy a silk thread, and was seen by your second young master on the way, and asked the people of the Dahe Gang to tie her to the carriage. robbing the people in broad daylight, there are more people around, and you actually reverse black and white here. ”

Mrs. Li is usually used to swaggering in Hangzhou, but she was suddenly beaten and was stunned for a long time before she reflected: "You slut, you dare to beat me." ”

"Bah, you're a slut, a real *slut! Don't think that I don't know you now that you're old, you used to be on errands in the Qinglou, and you often went to my rouge shop to get the goods. Although he got rid of his cheap status with your master, he is still a slut in his bones. ”

"Someone," Mrs. Li shouted to the nurses behind her, "you beat this shrew for me." "In this family, because Ya Niang is favored, no one dares to mention the history of the Qinglou, and no one dares to talk about it in front of the people of Pian Yayuan. Now that she was exposed in person, Mrs. Li was so angry.

Mama Wang immediately went over to drink the people of the governor's mansion, if this matter is really moved, it will be a loss for the mansion to make a big fuss. If this weren't for the future of the eldest young master, she and her wife really wanted to watch this matter get worse and worse, so that the adults would know what the flat wife he wanted to marry back was like in front of him for more than ten years.

In the private room on the second floor of the Fuyuan Teahouse diagonally opposite the Governor's Mansion, two people were comfortably enjoying the famous mung bean cake of the Fuyuan Teahouse, and when they saw Mrs. Sun appearing, they turned the teacup playfully.
