Chapter 31: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
The eldest lady in Qin Shilang's mansion? The old lady thought for a while and said, "Is it Qin Xuan's wife, Chen?" ”
"Yes, old lady." Mama Gu nodded.
The eldest lady's father, Qin Liang, is a squire in the military department.
Qian Fan remembered clearly that during the autumn hunt of this year, the six princes rebelled, and Qin Liang blocked an arrow for the saint and was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department.
And Qin Xuan is now just a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, but because of his father's meritorious service in saving the driver, he was soon promoted to the Ministry of Rites, although the official position is not big, but the power is real.
Just when Qianfan was groaning, the old lady was also secretly angry, Qin Xuan was the elder brother of the eldest lady, and the Chen family came to visit, could it be that he got the news that the Qin family was grounded so quickly? It seems that this back house is really not very clean!
But the old lady also knew that since the people came, they couldn't let people wait now, so she said, "Invite people in." ”
When Chen came in, Qian Fan sat next to the old lady and talked to the old lady with a smile.
Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering the words from Mama Zhang, he suddenly had a number in his heart, it seems that this girl is really not a simple one, it has only been more than half a year since she came back, and there have been a lot of things in this Yue family's big house, but she has retreated.
Qian Fan raised his head, his eyes were not shocked, but there was an affectionate smile on his face, "It turned out to be my aunt." "If you talk about seniority, it is not an exaggeration for Qian Fan to call Chen's aunt.
Chen is also a self-acquaintance, and warmly blessed the old lady, "I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, but I saw it today, the old lady looks a lot younger, is this deliberately made us juniors secretly envious?" ”
Seeing that Chen was so enthusiastic, the old lady was not too cold on her face, and replied with a smile, "I have long heard that you are a person who loves to talk and laugh, and then I will know that you are really a person who can speak well, and my mother is really blessed, and I am bored with a daughter-in-law like you." ”
"I want to come and talk to the old lady often, but I'm afraid that the old lady will think I'm noisy when I turn around." Chen replied with a smile, "My lord heard that the eldest lady was not feeling well, so he specially asked me to come and take a look, you know, my lord has loved this only sister since she was a child, and even I have eaten dry vinegar with my lord because of this!" ”
The news is really well-informed...... After listening to Chen's words, Qian Fan couldn't help but smile in his heart, if it weren't for Chen's calmness, he would have come to Yue's Mansion yesterday, right?
The eldest lady invited the Chen family over, just to let the old lady look at the Qin Mansion and have some scruples, but for so many years, the eldest lady really ignored her grandmother's temperament.
"Not feeling well?" The old lady smiled on her face and said coldly, "It's true that I'm not feeling well, and I don't pay attention to it and even the child has fallen, but my Yue's family has a century-old family, although I can't invite a doctor, but it's okay to hire a female doctor with superb medical skills, and it's hard to treat Wan'er badly." ”
"Old lady, look at what you said," Chen smiled brighter and brighter, and said softly, "My sister-in-law has been a sensible and polite person since she was a child, but in the end, the old lady and the old man are all holding it in their hands, so they have a straight temperament, if there is anything that annoys the old lady, please don't be like her, and forgive me." ”
Qian Fan said softly, "Auntie, where did you hear this, grandmother praised the eldest aunt in front of Fan'er all day long, saying that the eldest aunt is a good housekeeper and a knowledgeable person, and yesterday the grandmother stayed in the eldest aunt's room for three hours before coming back, and she was not afraid that the eldest aunt would be sad because she had just lost a child?" ”
Qian Fan paused, then took the old lady's hand and said, "I didn't think that it was the evil done by Mama Xu, just because the eldest aunt scolded her a few words, and actually cursed the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt lost her child, and the grandmother knew that the eldest aunt missed the old love, so she personally made the master for the eldest aunt and beat the old slave to death." ”
Although staying for three hours is not a relief for the eldest lady, but this is true, isn't it?
Although the old lady did not show it on her face, she glanced at Qian Fan approvingly. The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and now that the eldest lady has lost her child, and Mama Xu has been executed again, these words can be regarded as an explanation for the Qin family.
At that moment, the old lady didn't want to say more, looked at Mama Gu and said, "Mama Gu, go and tell Madam that her sister-in-law is here, she will be very happy." ”
"Thank you, old lady." Seeing that the old lady did not want to talk to him anymore, Chen got up and took his leave.
Before going out, Chen glanced back at Qian Fan again.
Qianfan nodded slightly, "Uncle walks slowly, and the sail won't be sent." ”
Chen went to the eldest lady's room and was shocked to see the eldest lady lying on the bed with a haggard face, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Sister-in-law......" The eldest lady saw her sister-in-law and immediately burst into tears.
"Yesterday I folded Mama Xu, Mrs. was sad for a night, the old slave persuaded for a long time, if this little moon fell to the root of the disease, it can't be cured back, big lady, you can persuade my wife." Mama Zhang also cried beside her.
"Alas, that Mama Xu is also a loyal person." Chen learned about it from the mouth of the letter yesterday, and thought about it carefully, "The most important thing for you is to take care of your body, I saw the girl in the second room today, and she was particularly embarrassed in front of the old lady, if you can't get better, what about your children?" Zhu'er's temper is also spoiled by you, do you think she can beat the girl in the second room? Besides, your lord is just angry, and he has to support each other with your eldest brother in the court, so you can relax and take care of your confinement well. ”
When the eldest lady heard Chen's words, she also nodded and said, "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks about it thoroughly, and I will definitely not let go of the second girl." ”
"Whether you let it go or not is a matter of the future, it matters that you will take care of the pair of children, Mama Xu is gone, you are short of a handy to send here, I will go back and let Chunxiu come over and help you take care of it."
"That's not necessary," the eldest lady looked at Chen Shi and said, "Although I don't have Mama Xu here, but Mama Zhang is here, and Aunt Xia is by my side, so I don't need to trouble Chunxiu." ”
Chunxiu is the person that Mrs. Qin put by Chen's side, and Chen wants to take this opportunity to launch it, but the eldest lady can't help it if she doesn't accept it.
Chen looked at Aunt Xia who was standing aside, although she was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all, she talked to the eldest lady, and left in a hurry.
Because the eldest lady was grounded, the house was rarely quiet for a few days, under the old lady's instructions, Aunt Bing began to slowly take over the housekeeper and other affairs, and when she didn't understand, she went to consult the old lady, and the old lady was naturally happy to give her some advice.
For Yue Chongshan, although Qin Xuan had said Qin Wan's kindness a few times in front of him, he just nodded, and it should be over, after all, there is no eldest lady in Yue's mansion, it is still in order, and he is still happy that he is not in charge of the eldest lady, and he goes out to drink and have fun all day long.
Aunt Xia did not fight or grab, she served the eldest lady in front of the bed day and night, she was even more careful than Yue Zhu'er, plus Xia Er would make a good medicinal diet, Mama Zhang used Mama Luo to teach herself how to distinguish whether the decoction was poisonous before returning to the Qin Mansion, and checked the medicinal diet every now and then, but no problem was found.
Early this morning, as soon as Qianfan got up, he heard Qiu'er yelling in the outhouse, and he turned his head and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
"There was an unruly girl early this morning, and she accidentally broke into the young lady's outer room, and it happened that Qiu'er happened to see it and reprimanded her." Chun'er didn't raise her head, and seriously helped her young lady get dressed.
"Didn't the girls in Qianfan Pavilion all bring them over from the border pass?" When Qian Fan heard this, his mind turned around and he said, "This girl is not the original person?" ”
"Miss Hui, it was added by the old lady." Dong'er took over and said: "The eldest lady is now more and more important to Xia'er, Aunt Bing is relying on the favor of the eldest lady to fight against the eldest lady, and now the big house is like a black-eyed chicken." ”
"How can the eldest aunt be so important to Xia'er?" Qian Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "With the mind of the eldest aunt, it is impossible to really believe in Xia Er, and it is estimated that it is just a use." ”
"Miss, don't you know, I heard a few girls in the big room say that the eldest lady was in a coma because of Mama Xu's matter, and that Mama Luo said that she wanted to use human flesh and blood as medicine, Xia Er cut off a piece of meat on her arm on the spot, and didn't say it afterwards, the eldest lady still knew it from Mama Zhang."
"Xia Er is a ruthless person, but this kind of person is often easy to get what he wants." Qian Fan smiled slightly, the person who can be ruthless to himself is the one who can make things happen.
"Xia Er can make medicinal food and make incense, Mama Zhang has checked it many times and there is no problem, the eldest lady's face is very good-looking now, I heard those girls say that they all asked Xia Er how to take care of her beauty in private, Xia Er also taught them to make incense powder, the eldest lady dispelled her doubts, maybe she wanted to praise Xia Er to deal with Aunt Bing."
"How's Aunt Bing's side?" Qian Fan didn't ask Xia Er about it again.
"I heard that Aunt Bing's son was very well-behaved, and he has been addicted to gambling recently," Cuiliu replied, "Two days ago, he was thrown out of the gambling house, Aunt Bing locked him in the room, and the eldest lady sent a message to let people go to the school. ”
"Big lady, this is really a good means." Qian Fan said with a smile, "If Yue Buyu is crooked, naturally no one can threaten Yue Buyu anymore." ”
"Miss, should we meddle in this matter or not?"
"Of course I do, but it's not the time yet." Qian Fan smiled slightly, "What is that little girl hiding?" ”
"Miss Hui's words, it's a jade pendant, let the girl hide it behind the cabinet, if it wasn't for Qiu'er accidentally touching the cabinet, she wouldn't be able to remember to move it." Chun'er replied.
The girl who Qiu'er reprimanded just now was able to run to her room for no reason, naturally she had a plan, and Qianfan didn't have a seizure at that time, just to see what the person wanted to hide.
"Didn't you say that the old lady added it? How did you come to me? "The old lady has no reason to harm herself, at least not at the moment, but she really has a relationship with the jade pendant, this one or two, is it possible that they are still willing to send the jade pendant to themselves?
Thinking of this, Qian Fan smiled faintly and asked, "Who is the jade pendant?" ”<
