Chapter 142: Three Hundred Taels
Bai Xiang hurriedly helped the little maid up and helped her pat the dust on her body, in fact, the house was cleaned up very clean, and the skirt was not much dirty, but when the little maid fell, her hand was wiped on the ground, and some skin was broken, and the tears in the eyes of the little girl in pain swirled, and what she wanted to say was also interrupted by pain.
Yao's mother looked at the little maid, thinking that the sound was not good, her heart suddenly trembled, Ming'er is a big day, there is no big thing, these maids will not say these taboo words, that is to be punished, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The little maid shrunk her neck, glanced at Zhiwan timidly, and said in a low voice, "The personal maid of the third girl knelt down in front of Mrs. Fangcai, saying that the fourth girl had given birth to two children outside the marriage, and Mrs. asked the girl to talk. ”
The little maid didn't believe it, she knew that the girl had run away from marriage, adopted two children, and now she was still being guarded by the king of Yuejun, how did she go to the third girl, and she became the fourth girl, and the third girl said that the human and material evidence were there, and the wife seemed to believe it.
Yao's mother heard the little maid say this, her face stiffened at that time, her hands were also tightened, looking at Zhiwan's eyes with anxiety, a little overwhelmed, although Hou Ye had already known that the girl had two children, but Hou Ye loved the girl, you can treat it as not knowing, but Mrs. won't, Ming'er is the girl's big day, what if she pokes it out, she is not worried about the king of Yuejun, but what about the people in Zhennan Wangfu, what about the mouth of the world?
Zhiwan's face remained unchanged, but he was also a little panicked in his heart, and after comforting Yao's mother a few words, Zhiwan took Bai Shao to the rosin courtyard.
In the main house, Zhao was furious, the tea cup and pastry plate were thrown to the ground, and when she entered the house at night, a few Buddha beads rolled to her feet, collided with her toes, and bounced back as they were.
Zhiwan raised his eyes and saw two familiar faces, one was Zhao Silian's and the other was Li's.
The expressions on their faces were different.
Zhao Silian is apologetic. Panicked, even looking at Zhiwan's eyes with dodging and evasion, his head lowered, giving people a very strong feeling of wanting to burrow into the ground.
Lee's face was full of surprise. There are also some schadenfreude, with a straight back, looking at Zhiwan's dress, and envy flashes in his eyes.
Qian watched Zhiwan come in, his steps were calm, his demeanor was elegant, as if he didn't know what was going on, Qian was a little drumming in his heart, Zhao Silian and Li both could testify that Zhiwan had given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the Zhao family. But when she saw the two of them at night, she didn't have any fear except for the clear thing that flashed in her eyes, could it be that these two people lied to her?
Qin Zhirou sat there, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a harmless smile. She knew that it was also an accident to give birth to a child later, she took the maid to the second room to enjoy the flowers, and when she came back, she saw that Zhao Silian and Li were blocked outside the door, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but the tip of the maid's ears heard Li complain, "Are there dogs like them who look down on people." The Zhao family is a life-saving benefactor who knows the night, and they came to congratulate her, and they are not even allowed to enter the door, so what are we doing here from Lizhou, and eat behind closed doors? ! ”
When the maid turned around, she saw Zhao Silian pulling the Li family who was about to run away. He said softly, "Zhiwan is the lady of the Hou Mansion after all, how can we enter the high-ranking family casually, why don't we go to the small courtyard and wait first?" ”
Li snorted coldly at that time, "Hou Mansion Lady? The Hou Mansion lady will get pregnant before marriage. also gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses?! I still look down on our ordinary people, and I don't look down on the filth of his family! ”
The maid was shocked and didn't know what to say at that time, she heard it right, these two village girls are talking about the fourth girl and not the fifth girl? The four girls escaped marriage and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses outside?!
Seeing Zhao Silian dragging the Li family away, the maid couldn't wait to tell Qin Zhirou, so she stepped forward with her skirt and said with a smile, "The two of you are here to find the fourth girl, the fourth girl is waiting for the two, the house is busy with the marriage of the fourth girl and the fifth girl, and there are some inconsiderate hospitality, I hope the two of you will take care of it." ”
The maid was smiling and respectful, Li felt that he had face, and felt that the maid of the Hou Mansion knew more etiquette than the guard, and he knew more etiquette than the maid next to Zhiwan, so he followed the maid into the house.
Qin Zhirou was originally displeased with the maid carrying the two village girls into the house, but as soon as the maid told her, her face was also welcome, and while introducing the scene in the house to her, she smiled and said, "After the fourth sister came back, I heard her say a lot of things outside the house, especially the Zhao family's life-saving grace to her, if there was the Zhao family, she would have died long ago, the fourth sister left Beijing and suffered a lot, and she never confided in us, it is rare for the Zhao family to be affectionate, do you want to tell me how the Zhao family met my fourth sister?" ”
Qin Zhirou asked gently, and casually plucked a pair of golden hairpins from his head and sent them to Li and Zhao Silian, Zhao Silian shirked and refused, Li was willing, holding the two hairpins in his hands, and said without words, "We don't know how Zhiwan fainted on the side of the road, but if it weren't for my third brother and sister's kindness, seeing her fainting on the side of the road with a big belly, I helped her into the carriage and took her back to Zhao's house, maybe she lost her life on the side of the road, Zhiwan suffered a lot in order to give birth to two children, and almost died in Zhao's family, fortunately, she was blessed to live ......." ”
Li said, Zhao Silian pulled her, asked her not to say, after all, pregnancy and childbirth is not a good thing, it is worth preaching everywhere, she heard Zhao He said, the two children did not even enter the gate of the Hou Mansion, and were also guarded by the king of Yue Jun in the small courtyard, not allowed to leave half a step, although when they entered Beijing, they heard some rumors about the Hou Mansion, and it was said that the five girls of the Hou Mansion and the prince of the Hou Mansion hooked up in private, almost went off the gun, became pregnant, and couldn't wait to get married, but it doesn't mean that the two children's fathers died early?
Qin Zhirou was stunned when she heard it, and then smiled extraordinarily brightly, what a fourth sister, she concealed it so strictly, and returned to Beijing in a high-profile manner as if nothing happened, how many people were hidden from a grain of palace sand on her arm, and it also made the fifth sister and the sixth sister mistakenly think that the aphrodisiac was useless, it turned out that the fourth sister was really hit by the aphrodisiac, and she was also with someone for a time, and she was pregnant with a sinful seed, and had to run away from marriage.
Qin Zhirou pretended to know early, and asked the Li family a lot about Zhiwan's Zhao family, including the matter of Duke Xu's announcement, Qin Zhirou led the Li family and Zhao Silian to the Rosin Courtyard, and the maid went to the Meixiang Courtyard to tell the Qian family.
Seeing Zhiwan's casual appearance, Qian's anger will not be in one place, and a broken body can also marry into the princess of Chengjun in Zhennan Wangfu, several times higher than that of her sister-in-law, Qian was envious and jealous but did not dare to speak, but today, she is not going to endure it. She didn't believe that the king of Yue County and the king of Zhennan could tolerate a concubine who had been born into the door!
Without waiting for the Qian family to make a difficulty, Zhiwan stepped forward to salute and greet him, and then asked, "I don't know why the old lady and his wife came to me?" ”
Zhao took a deep breath. Seeing Zhiwan's eyes with ice edges, but she had to endure it, her eyes aimed at the beams of the house, she wanted to kill Zhiwan to cover up the scandal, but she was afraid of the king of Yuejun, and did not withdraw from the family, Zhiwan is the established princess of Yuejun, and died violently in the house on the eve of marriage.
But it's about the face of King Yuejun. It's better to kill someone in private than to make a fuss, and the king of Yuejun has no face, right? The king of Yuejun can be said to have no measure, but the king of Zhennan should always have it.
Thinking about it, Zhao slapped the table and pointed at Zhao Silian and Li to show Zhiwan. "Do you recognize the two of them?"
Zhiwan wanted to say that he didn't know, but can he say it, Zhiwan nodded calmly, "I know." ”
Zhao's eyes were cold for three minutes, and the last bit of expectation was annihilated, "Then it's true that they said that you gave birth to two children in the Zhao family?" ”
Zhiwan folded his hands in his lower abdomen and heard Zhao's question. The heart twitched slightly, but she still nodded, Zhiwan clearly felt that more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at her before she nodded, and after she nodded, she saw the killing intent in Zhao's eyes in the gasp one after another.
There are no superfluous words. Zhao closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "The Hou Mansion has raised you for more than ten years, and although it has treated you harshly, it has finally treated you well." Especially Master Hou, I love you more than my grandson, I got pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a pair of evil seeds, and I still want to marry into Zhennan Wangfu, do you know what place Zhennan Wangfu is, and the eyes of Zhennan Wang are full of sand? Did you die on your own or did I tell you to drown you? ”
Zhao's heart was calm, she asked softly, and even had a kind smile on her face, but she was frightened, she just hoped that Zhiwan could die by herself, even if she had a marriage contract with Zhennan Wangfu, no one could stop the bride's heart to seek death!
Zhiwan's face did not move, she guessed that it would be such an ending when she came, but Li and Zhao Silian didn't expect that Li was grinding Liu's this time, just to want to be next to the big tree of Zhiwan, so as to gain a foothold in Kyoto and open a pastry shop, Zhao Silian really came to send makeup, although she knew that that little thing could not be taken at all in the Hou Mansion, but at that time she had a heart, but she never expected that Qin Zhirou's words showed so much concern for Zhiwan, which made her envy of that sisterhood, but she turned her face and pushed Zhiwan into the fire pit, Zhao Silian knew that it was they who entered Beijing, and it was what they just said that buried Zhiwan's life, even including the lives of the two children, if this is really the case, then the life-saving grace at the beginning has become a knife to kill!
Zhiwan stood there, did not kneel down and beg for mercy, nor did he choose how to die, Qin Zhishu sat there, playing with the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with peonies, and said with a smile, "The fourth sister has good skills, she gave birth to two children, and she can still play with the king of Yuejun in applause, you lied to us that the two children were born by you who saved a noble lady, did you also hide the king of Yuejun like this, you know what kind of person the king of Yuejun is, and you still deceive him like this, do you want to take the entire Hou Mansion to give you a funeral?" ”
Qin Zhirou looked at Qin Zhishu and sneered, "Fifth sister, you and the fourth sister are four pounds and eight taels, where did you come from to count the fourth sister's position?" ”
Qin Zhishu's face turned pale, and he twisted the embroidered handkerchief angrily, Zhiwan hooked his lips and smiled, glancing at Qin Zhishu and Qin Zhishu, "Why did I give birth to two children, it wasn't thanks to the fifth sister and the sixth sister, if I die, can you two escape?" ”
If it weren't for them, she and King Yuejun would be a fairy couple.
Qin Zhishu wanted to say, as long as you are dead, as long as the maids in the house are silent, who knows that she gave birth to a child because of their aphrodisiacs, but before she could say it, she thought that the king of Yuejun sent a secret guard to guard Zhiwan, and at this time the secret guard was listening in a corner, Qin Zhishu's face suddenly turned pale.
Qian gritted his teeth and looked at Zhiwan coldly, and sneered, "Even if you* have nothing to do with the fifth girl and the sixth girl, you shouldn't deceive King Yuejun, and you are killed to save his face, and King Yuejun is not such a person who doesn't know how to be polite. ”
As soon as Qian's words came out, two stout mothers-in-law came out and dragged Zhiwan out, but when his hand touched Zhiwan, a scolding came from the screen, "Stop!" ”
The two mothers-in-law were stunned, and when they turned their heads, they saw Dingyuan Hou Su with a cold face, and walked in with a tiger, the two mothers-in-law didn't know what to do, Hou Ye loved the four girls, and everyone in the house knew it. The five girls were pregnant before marriage, not only escaped, but also married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the four girls may be able to fool the past. But the fault of the fourth girl is much more serious than that of the fifth girl!
"Stand down!" The two mothers-in-law were distracted, and suddenly the two of them trembled with a cold drink, and almost fell to the ground, came back to their senses, and hurriedly retreated.
The Qian family got up to greet him and said, "Master Hou, I know that you love the fourth girl, but everything is light and serious, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion." Compared with the lives of hundreds of people up and down, which is more important, Hou Ye must not lose a big one because of a small one! ”
Marquis Dingyuan flicked his sleeves, didn't greet Zhao, and sat down directly. said coldly, "Zhiwan gave birth to two children, I knew it early on, those two children are the king of Yuejun, Ming'er will marry the king of Yuejun when he knows the night, it is the king of Yuejun who has asked for everything, who dares to ask for the life of my Hou Mansion?!" ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Everyone looked at the Marquis of Dingyuan, unbelievable, the two children born to the fourth girl were the king of Yuejun? How can it be?!
Zhiwan looked at Dingyuan Marquis directly, his heart softened into a clear spring, and tears flashed under his clear eyes, so he listened to Qian's question. "Those two children belong to the king of Yuejun, and they are married to the king of Yuejun in the evening, why haven't you heard the Hou Ye mention it?"
Marquis Dingyuan took the tea and sipped it, "Is it a shameful thing to be pregnant before marriage, don't talk about it when you glance at the Zhennan Palace." Hou Mansion is also a head and face in Kyoto, once the news of Zhiwan's unmarried birth of a child spreads, who else dares to come to the door to propose, it is for the innocence of Houfu's reputation, Zhiwan did not return to Beijing with two children, but handed over to the king of Yuejun to send someone to take care of, Lizhou is the territory of the king of Yuejun, and even the king of the prime minister knows about raising private soldiers, will he not find out that Zhiwan gave birth to two children? ”
Dingyuan Hou's rhetorical question made Qian unable to answer, she only learned today that the first village aunt who spread all over Dayue turned out to be Zhiwan, she sold pastries on Lizhou Street, smashed the king of Yuejun, will the king of Yuejun not send someone to check her? When he got married on the same day, how many beautiful Xipa did King Yuejun set off for her, and robbed the emperor for her, and came to the Hou Mansion to apologize.
Listen to Dingyuan Marquis said, "Although I know that the king of Yue County likes to know the night, but after all, he is the prince of the county, if it weren't for the reason why he had to marry the night, how could I dare to pinch him?" ”
Zhao's frowning brows soothed, his cold face became gentle, he looked at the Marquis of Dingyuan, and asked, "Master Hou didn't say it earlier, if you came back one step later, maybe you would kill her, this kid, why don't you say a word?" ”
Zhao's words were to blame, but the words asked were to question Zhiwan, there was no reason to execute her, she was still hiding it, Zhiwan rolled her eyes, glanced at the dark, forget it, her father said so, anyway, he also knew, so he borrowed it as an umbrella first, but he felt that he owed too much, Zhiwan pursed his lips lightly and said, "I have two children with the king of Yuejun, not only my father knows, the king of Zhennan also knows, even the emperor knows that when I was in the Zhao family, when Gonggong Xu announced the decree, I held the child, He recognized me in the palace of the concubine and told the emperor that he knew, and the emperor would be furious, and it was the king of Yuejun who told the emperor that the two children were his, and the emperor would reward me with a bunch of ....... ”
Marquis Dingyuan frowned slightly, didn't King Zhennan tell the emperor that the child was the king of Yuejun, why did the king of Yuejun tell him? But the emperor knows it, "King Yuejun has been used to it all these years, but even if King Zhennan spoils King Yuejun, he will not casually give out the broken piano and one hundred and eighty dowry, he is really happy, happy to have two grandchildren, and he knows that the night should be such a heavy dowry!" ”
The Qian family and the Zhao family glanced at each other, as if they couldn't find a loophole, so they couldn't believe it.
Leng Mu and Leng Shi guarded the secret guard, and they also looked at each other, they guarded outside the hut, with the superb martial arts of the two people, excellent hearing, what did they say to the king of Yuejun at night, they knew it, the father of the two children was obviously dead, although the lord said that he recognized them as righteous sons, but the difference between the righteous son and the parents and children is big, okay, how did the Marquis of Dingyuan become born with the prince of the county, the lord is willing to raise a son for others, but he may not be willing to be blackened!
However, the two secret guards knew in their hearts how much Ye Guiyue doted on Zhiwan in his heart, even if Dingyuan Hou did not come out to protect Zhiwan, the two would stand up, Ye knew that the princess of the county had given birth to two children, and he didn't dislike her, so he had to marry her, if he really let her die in front of her, today next year would probably be their death day.
The two secret guards flashed out and said, "What Hou Ye said is right, those two children are indeed the prince of the county, but Hou Ye has made too many enemies, and I am afraid that someone will poison the two children." It was specially protected, and the prince of Ming'er County will marry the princess of the county, and the two children will also be brought into the Zhennan Palace, before that. I hope that Master Hou will keep it a strict secret, and if it endangers the safety of the little master and the little lady, don't blame me and other subordinates for being ruthless. ”
The secret guards all helped Zhiwan say this, what else could the Qian family and the Zhao family say, but there was still a question in their hearts, that day, the king of Yuejun and the prince of Xiangwang competed for a dowry gift in the Hou Mansion, and the prince of Xiangwang had children, and the king of Yuejun was angry, and threatened to help Zhiwan give birth to two sons, didn't he already have two children?
But this doubt. No one asked, since the Hou Mansion is not in danger, and the child belongs to the king of Yuejun, what are they worried about?
Zhao was angry and a little tired. Stretching out her arm, Zhou's mother helped her down to rest, Qian's eyes were still very cold when she saw Zhiwan, and she wanted to punish Zhiwan, but she couldn't open her mouth, the Hou Mansion was still in charge of Dingyuan Hou, and he knew that Zhiwan would not punish her if she had a child out of wedlock. Can she still be punished? What's more, she is also the mother of the two children of King Yuejun!
The most angry people in the house are Qin Zhishu and Aunt Mei, who are also unmarried and pregnant, and her father is going to execute her, if it weren't for what the fourth sister said, she would still be alive, even if she was spared. She also closed the firewood room all night, scared all night, and her father was eccentric!
Qin Zhishu gritted his teeth angrily, got up and stomped his feet away, and did not salute the Qian family. didn't give the Yuanhou a salute, the Qian family was angry, and finally had a reason to send it, "There are no rules and no distance, they all occupy their own talismans, and they don't take the Houfu family rules seriously!" ”
Aunt Mei bowed and said, "The fifth girl is annoyed that Hou Ye is partial, that day it was found out that she was pregnant, but Hou Ye wanted to execute her, but the fourth girl gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but it was safe, who can stand it?" ”
Dingyuan Hou's cold eyes swept over Aunt Mei's face, "Who killed Zhiwan and ran away from marriage for a year, if it wasn't for saving me from prison, she wouldn't have returned to Beijing, for her reputation, and for the safety of the two children, I didn't punish her, not only did she not know how grateful, but she also felt that I was partial?!" ”
Aunt Mei had nothing to say, Aunt Liu snorted and laughed, "Aunt Mei keeps saying that Hou Ye is eccentric, how can I look at you who is the most eccentric, a few days ago, I thought that the fourth girl was more polite than the fifth girl, and it was taught by Hou Ye, but I didn't expect that it was raised by you in the end, and now you dare to question Hou Ye in a concubine's room, the fifth girl is climbing to the Xiangwang Mansion, but no matter how much the Xiangwang Mansion spoils her, she can't control the family rules of the Hou Mansion!" Besides, if it wasn't for the four girls who helped the five girls intercede that day, she would have died in Huangquan long ago, but she turned her face and bit the four girls and didn't let go. ”
Aunt Liu is the confidant of the Qian family, Qin Zhishu intends to straighten Aunt Mei, the Qian family told her, Aunt Liu is angry, she is really worried that Qin Zhishu has that ability, otherwise the Qian family will not be in a hurry, so she took advantage of Aunt Mei's partiality, so that Hou Ye knew that with a mother like her, there would only be a miasma of smoke in the future house.
Marquis Dingyuan glanced at Aunt Mei, flicked his sleeves and left, walked to the screen, and turned around and instructed Mr. Qin, "Take three hundred taels of silver with them and send them out of the house!" ”
This they refer to Zhao Silian and the Li family, these three hundred taels of silver were sent away, and since then they have been cut off from Hou Fuen, they almost killed Zhiwan, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhao family had saved Zhiwan, they would have been blasted out earlier.
When Li heard three hundred taels, his heart blossomed, and he didn't know how much trouble he had caused, Zhao Silian was smarter, looking at Zhiwan, Zhiwan pursed her lips, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she said to Mr. Qin, "Give three hundred taels to Miss Zhao." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, Bai Shao looked at Manager Qin and added, "In the future, Miss Zhao can come to the house, but if she is someone else, she will be exempted." ”
Li's face turned red and purple, and Zhao Silian didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, and walked out of the house with Manager Qin behind him.
Leng Shi and Leng Mu even had the urge to kill the Li family, if it weren't for Ming'er's big day, she wouldn't have seen blood, she would have died in the Hou Mansion long ago.
