Chapter 27 Past Events (3)
Jiang Quan lowered his head, his eyes stared at the bluestone bricks for a long time, and the candlelight reflected half of his face, his face full of sadness.
"I opened a store in the capital, walked north and south, and helped the master take care of economic affairs in the capital, how can I be surnamed Xu again. Not to mention others, only the Zhou family and the Marquis of Annan can't explain it. Miss Jinxin said, 'What's the matter?' I thought in my heart that even if I died, I was still a ghost of the Xu family. That's how I changed my surname to Jiang. ”
For some reason, as soon as Jiang Quan's words came out, Xin Yao had a good impression of this young lady of the Xu family who she had never met for no reason. A woman who can say such a transparent word is by no means an idle person.
"The old man is very tired in the capital, and the Zhou family is very close. Although the Hou Mansion treats the old man as a parent on the surface, he actually restrains him secretly. The old man had to compromise and stammered with the Hou Mansion. A few years later, Zhou gave birth to your father, who somehow was always sick. In the 100th day, he invited a master to approve the order, saying that it was father and son who were fighting each other. Zhou had no choice but to take the child back to Suzhou Mansion.
After a year, the lord took the young lady to the capital and placed her in a pre-bought house, and at the beginning, every night, he pretended to be a small maid and secretly went to the young lady. A few years later, the old marquis and his wife passed away one after another, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had a round house with the young lady. ”
Surprise appeared on Xin Yao's face as promised. She suddenly felt as if her heart was blocked, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Quan glanced at her silently, and then looked away.
"When the old man was forty years old, the young lady gave birth to a son, named Jiang Hongyuan, that is, the little uncle you have never met. The lord and the young lady are old and have children, and they love the little master very much. The old man has taken the little young master with him since he was a child, and taught him personally.
In the first few years, the lord also went back to Suzhou Mansion several times a year to see his two sons. Later, because Zhou's temperament changed greatly since he gave birth to your father, he often quarreled with his master, and the number of times he went back became less and less. In this way, there has been nothing wrong for many years. ”
Xin Yao couldn't help but wonder: "The capital is the world of the Marquis of Annan, and it is really not easy for my grandfather to hide all these years!" ”
Jiang Quan tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered: "It's really not easy. After the old man and the Zhou family got married, in order to prevent the people of the Hou Mansion from harming Miss, it was said that Miss Xu died of illness not long after she was released from prison. In fact, Zhou knew a few years ago that the master had set up an outer room in the capital. But because the old man was forced to get married, and there was no one around to take care of her, and she thought that the young lady was dead, so she turned a blind eye. Until ......"
Jiang Quan thought about the young lady and the little young master who had not been found for a long time, and sighed heavily with annoyance.
"Five years ago, your father's concubine, Zhou Xiuyue's mother Xu, took a fancy to a piece of Emerald Buddha in Cuiyuxuan, and took it without paying a penny. The old man was very angry, sent someone to ask for it, and formed a grudge. That's ......"
The fierceness in Jiang Quan's eyes gradually rose, and his hand involuntarily clenched into a fist. Seeing this, Xin Yao's heart sank.
This Xu family made her daughter Zhou Xiuyue change from the main house to an aunt because of the master's interference, and she had already accumulated a stomach full of resentment, but now because the master refuted her face, she was even more resentful, and privately sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. A month later, she wrote to Zhou, and the letter added fuel to the letter, saying how the master pampered the outer room, and gave birth to a son Yunyun.
When Zhou heard that his son was more than ten years old, he was furious, and he rushed to the capital with your father that night. When he arrived in the capital, he first quietly advanced the Hou Mansion, and then took advantage of the fact that the master was not in the capital on a business trip, took dozens of family members from the Hou Mansion, went to the place where the young lady lived, tied the young lady and the young master, and sent them out of the gate. ”
Jiang Quan glanced at Xin Yao lightly, and said faintly: "Speaking of which, it has something to do with your father, because he sent the person away." ”
Jiang Xinyao lowered her eyelids helplessly, and promptly covered the coldness in her eyes.
When the Zhou family knocked on the door, they realized that the person who had been with the master all these years was the Miss Xu family who had become a relative to the master back then. Zhou hated it so much that he smashed the house where the young lady lived, and sold all his subordinates. When the lord and I returned to Beijing, the building was already empty, and all we saw was a mess. ”
Jiang Quan's voice changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "The Zhou family and the Xu family, on the grounds of the whereabouts of the two, forced the lord to take out the deed, land deed, and deed of sale of the Jiang Mansion in the capital, and also forced the lord to resign, tell the old man to return to his hometown, and recommend your father to be the governor of Yangzhou."
At that time, how could the master still manage money and official positions, he wanted his life, he would not hesitate, he just hoped to find people as soon as possible, so that the mother and son would suffer less. So the master responded one by one. ”
Jiang Xinyao sneered again and again, with Zhou's personality, she was only afraid of ......
Before Xin Yao could think deeply, she heard Jiang Quan say again: "After the master responded to all these requests, the Zhou family told the master the whereabouts of the two. I didn't know that I had been looking for my lord for three months, but I didn't find anything, and then I knew that I had been deceived. ”
Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and gurgled: "I want to hate Miss Yu that week, how can I let it go so easily?" What a femme fatale! ”
Xin Yao shook her head lightly and sighed: "It's not the Zhou family's snake and scorpion heart, but she pinched your seven inches and made you confused." ”
Jiang Quan's expression was pale, but he nodded and said, "What the fourth young lady said is that we are indeed confused. By the time we returned to the capital, it was unrecognizable. The Jiang Mansion has already changed its appearance and changed its owner. Fortunately, in these years, the old man is also a cunning rabbit, and all the money is hidden in the old house in Qingyang Town, so that there will be no way out. We arranged for the money shopkeeper to guard the Cui Yu Xuan, and when everything was settled, we went back to Suzhou Mansion.
The old man went back to Jiang's mansion to ask Zhou Yuyan about the whereabouts of his mother and son, but who knew that Zhou would rather die than say anything, so he took the fourth lady back to Qingyang Town, secretly spent a lot of money, and sent people around to find out the news"
Jiang Xinyao silently exhaled and laughed at herself: "In this way, I am just a hostage. ”
Jiang Quan nodded truthfully and said: "Miss, I won't tell you, the master does mean this with you, because the person was sent away by your father, and with you by your side, the safety of their mother and son can be guaranteed." ”
Rao is Xinyao guessed a few points in advance, and when she heard this, she still felt angry, and said sharply: "If the two of them are gone, will my little life be gone?" ”
Jiang Quan shook his head without hesitation and said resolutely: "Fourth Miss really thinks that the master is such a ruthless person? In this world, there is no one who values love and righteousness more than the master. I have been with Miss Jinxin for more than ten years, and I have been with my master for more than ten years, and I see everything in my eyes. The master can do this for the young lady and the Xu family, how many people in the world can do this? ”
Jiang Xinyao suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and her expression was gloomy.
She lowered her head and whispered: "That's right, grandfather is affectionate and righteous to the Xu family and your young lady, and it also seems that he is ruthless and unrighteous to his grandmother and two sons." ”
Jiang Quan smiled dumbly: "Fourth Miss, you are right. The old man felt guilty about the Zhou family and his two sons, so even if Miss Jinxin and Little Master Hongyuan didn't know whether they were alive or dead, he didn't do anything ruthlessly, but just avoided it from afar. Miss, you are still young, you can't understand the hardships of the master, he can only give up. ”
Xin Yao remembered the bits and pieces of getting along with her grandfather, and lamented: "It is indeed bitter, and it is unspeakably bitter. Grandfather he, too tired to live. ”
Jiang Quan mourned: "Master Kaichun received a letter from the capital, it turned out that someone in the capital secretly inquired about the whereabouts of my young lady and young master Yuan, and some people said that they saw the corpses of the two with their own eyes, whether they were true or false, and there was no way to judge. When the master heard this, he was anxious, and the two of us discussed it all night and decided to go to Beijing, whether it was true or not, to see it with our own eyes, so that we could feel at ease. The capital is a place of right and wrong, and the whereabouts of the old man cannot be revealed, so the fourth lady is left in the old house. ”
Jiang Xinyao nodded unconsciously.
Jiang Quan said again: "When we arrived in the capital, we secretly searched, only to find out that it was actually someone from the Hou Mansion of Annan who was investigating the whereabouts of the two of them. My lord and I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy off the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, and finally found out something. ”
"The Marquis of Annan? Isn't the old marquis already gone, who still cares about the little uncle? Why is that? ”
Jiang Quan hated and said: "The reason why the Hou Mansion inquired about the whereabouts of the two was because of your grandmother. ”
"Grandmother?" Jiang Xinyao was puzzled.
"That's right. The old man retreated to Qingyang Town, and your grandmother wrote a letter three or four times in the hope that the old man would change his mind. When the master refused, your grandmother transferred all her hatred to Miss Jinxin's mother and son, and always hated them. At the beginning of this year, she somehow thought of these two people again, so she wrote a letter to inquire about the whereabouts of the mother and son. The Hou Mansion sent someone to find the family, but it turned out that the person and Ben had not sent it over, so they were secretly looking around.
And this subordinate told us another shocking news. One of the bosses of Liu Ming, the commander of Hami, who was beheaded that year, was the old enemy of the deceased old marquis. At the beginning, it was the old marquis who arranged for his henchmen to intervene in this matter, and joined forces with a certain lady in the palace to tell the emperor, which led to the destruction of the Xu family. ”
Xin Yao was startled, and quickly raised her head: "So ...... said"
A big net, the net was originally a big fish, but the small fish of the Xu family was unfortunately netted in, and then the family was ruined. What's worse is that one of the people who cast the net is still the grandfather's father-in-law. Then the grandfather shared the bed with the enemy's daughter, had children, and lived peacefully together for so many years.
Jiang Quan smashed the small table next to him with a punch, and the fine pear blossom wood table was shattered with the blue and white tea cup. Jiang Xinyao covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.
Jiang Quan instantly realized that he was out of control, and he was afraid of startling the fourth lady, so he hurriedly collected his fierce momentum, and said softly: "The master has been looking for those two people all these years, and he can be described as haggard and exhausted, and his body is already at the end of his strength. This trip to the capital, running around quickly became ill, like a candle in the wind. In addition, he heard that the affairs of the Xu family were related to the Hou Mansion of Annan, and he was even more deeply remorseful, and when he returned to Qingyang Town, he was already terminally ill. ”
It's no wonder that a trip to the capital cost my grandfather's life, it turned out to be like this, it turned out to be so......
Jiang Xinyao's body trembled slightly, and her face was unprecedentedly solemn.
"After coming back, the master and I pondered carefully, peeled off the cocoon, and agreed that Miss Jinxin's mother and son should still be alive. It was precisely for this reason that the master's illness dragged on for a few more months. Miss should know the rest of the matter. The reason why the old man chose Miss, I think, is because Miss can see the two stones. The old man said that he had looked at those two stones for more than ten years, and it was only in these years that he could see some truths. ”
Xin Yao's heart was shocked, thinking of her bizarre coming from another world, she only felt cold sweat all over her body, and sighed after a while: "Time, luck, and life"
Jiang Quan got up suddenly, and said with a straight face: "Miss, you come with me." ”
