Chapter 81: Planning
Waiting for Mama An's neighbor to go out, Longyi came over and changed a cup of tea for Li Jingyi, "It's better for the county lord to ask Sister Lingxin or the slave's family to inquire about these things, Mama An ...... after all."
Longyi is going to leave after all, Lingxin's family is also released from the house, Li Jingyi can't only rely on these three or two people by her side, "Don't worry, Mama An is not a foolish person, besides, she has lived in the capital for several lifetimes, and her connections are naturally wider than yours, and it is more convenient than you to go out of the house, and it is more appropriate for you to inquire about the news and hand it over to him, besides, the people in your family are no longer the slaves in our house, and it is also your filial piety to let them live a stable life, isn't it?" ”
Li Jingyi asked Mama An to inquire about Rong Lan, including the Hu family's in-law Fengguo General's Mansion, "By the way, you go and talk to Aunt Zhu, and say that she will prepare a few gifts for me and send them to Chengenbo's Mansion, I recognized Mrs. Fang Tongzhi as my aunt, but it is inconvenient to go out now, and I have to go to Chengenbo's Mansion to inform her." ”
"Yes," Longyi knew that this was to tell Aunt Zhu to clarify Mrs. Wang's friendship with Li Jingyi, and retreated.
In the small courtyard of the second room of the Hu family, Rong Lan listened to the news from Rong An's inquiry, and said with a sneer, "This is your background, you have the ability again, you haven't been reincarnated into a good family, you are pressed by mediocre people in everything, there is no way, the starting point of people is higher than ours!" ”
Rong Lan, a young lady born in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, is still lamenting that her background is too poor, and Rong An doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she has to die, a child of the side branch? "The eldest lady laughed,"
"I'm not in the mood for joking at all!" Rong Lan glanced at Rong An, "You go down, continue to ask people to stare at the Eldest Princess's Mansion and Anguohou Mansion, and ask people to be extra careful over there, I'd rather not be able to inquire about anything, and don't arouse suspicion." ”
When Rong An left, Hu Xueqing and Hu Xuerou came hand in hand, "I see that my cousin has been asking about things outside in the past two days, in fact, I asked Cousin Rong, it is better to ask my father to inquire, the Hu family has business in the capital, and the news is more convenient, Cousin Rong has only just come from Zhuzhou, but I am afraid that the road is not familiar!" ”
If Hu Jiagui inquires, then they will know what Rong Lan is going to do.
"Uncle is busy with things outside all day, where is the trouble for him again? I'm just a newcomer to the capital, and I want to know what clothes and faces are fashionable outside, and there is nothing to do," Rong Lan smiled slightly, you can find Hu Jiagui if you ask about things, but does Hu Jiagui have the courage to help her keep an eye on her?
"What's wrong with the two younger sisters? But what's the matter? Rong Lan smiled and asked He Feng to serve tea to the Hu sisters.
Hu Xuerou didn't believe Rong Lan's words, if she wanted to know what was in fashion, then she had to ask the Hu family, the Hu family's silk shop, and the silver building also opened a lot in the capital, "Yesterday, my mother had already asked someone to help my cousin tailor clothes, and the new jewelry is estimated to be delivered in the next day,"
"It's still the second aunt who is the most intimate, I don't know if my aunt has told you, when will we go to the Fengguo General's Mansion to say hello to the general and his wife?" Rong Lan didn't want to waste time for a moment, she had already received the news on the way here, although the emperor banned the feet of the eldest princess of Jinyang, but many families in the capital have begun to rumor that the emperor is going to be drafted. Even Emperor Longwu didn't have this mind, and the people who had school-age daughters in the capital also had to contribute to this matter.
The queen who has no children, even if she is favored again, how many years can she be beautiful? In the future, the world will still be the new emperor, and only when the daughter enters the palace can it be possible to achieve a new prosperity of the family, right?
So anxious to go to the Fengguo General's Mansion? Hu Xueqing pouted secretly, "Cousin may not know, we only went to ask my uncle and aunt to say goodbye a few days ago, my cousin and we are close relatives, and I am not afraid of your jokes, my mother and the current general Fengguo were not born to the same mother, and my mother was not liked by the old lady in the mansion before, so I ......"
So how? Rong Lan's face sank, "It stands to reason that I am also a junior, and now I live with my uncle, this person naturally wants to follow my aunt to ask General Fengguo and his wife to ask for peace, I have prepared all the gifts,"
Rong Lan secretly scolded Zhao in her heart for not being able to see the situation clearly, got up and said, "You don't know the joints, so I'll go over and tell my uncle." ”
Sure enough, this Rong Lan came to rush to his uncle who was a general of Fengguo, and the Hu Xuerou sisters knew more about their own family than Rong Lan, that is, a broken household, even they, the merchant girls, were also very disdainful, "Since my sister insists on this, then you should mention it to your father and mother, we have only been there, and this time we will not go." ”
For the aunt who only knows silver in their eyes, the Hu Xuerou sisters don't have a good impression at all, so they don't go to look for Qisheng!
Rong Lan had already figured out something from the looks of the Hu sisters, but she was already in a state of being in a hurry to go to the doctor, where could she pay attention to those? "Okay, let's play, Lianshuang, go see what your aunt is doing?"
Zhao knew that Rong Lan had to go to the Fengguo General's Mansion to find a way into Beijing, but she didn't expect her to be so anxious, she didn't want to tell Rong Lan that her brother and sister-in-law came to borrow silver, Hu Jiagui didn't agree, and several people made a fuss in the Hu family, "I have my own arrangements with your uncle about this, and now the matter between your Rong family and Ruihe County Lord has been spread to the capital, and the clans over there have naturally heard about it, I'm worried that my sister-in-law will hear that you are going and won't see it!" ”
Rong Lan probably also knew a little about the situation in the Fengguo General's Mansion, and she handed the prepared gift list to the Zhao family, "This is what I prepared for the general and his wife, aunt, take a look, do you need to add anything?" ”
Hit people with things? Do you think the Hu family is short of silver? She doesn't want to give it, okay? Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, "Yo, Lan'er is so generous, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will see these things and will welcome them, but Lan'er, you can think about it, with this list, if you have anything to do in the future, you have to add more." ”
This list is worth at least five hundred taels of silver, go to ask for peace to relatives around the corner, and raise your hand to throw out such a generous gift, this is for fear that people don't know what is wrong with her stupid meat? Think about it, every time I go back, I symbolically bring a four-color salute, what is Rong Lan doing? Hit her in the face?
This Rong Lan really didn't expect it, she smiled awkwardly, and took the gift list back, "Lan Erguang thought that it was her uncle's maiden family over there, and this gift was naturally as thick as possible, but it was a joke for my aunt, and my aunt also knew that the Rong family had offended the eldest princess's mansion and the Marquis of Anguo's mansion this time, and my father had no choice but to ask me to go to Beijing to help mediate. ”
Even her mother's family, a dilapidated clan that no one cares about, thought of it, it can be seen that she is really in a hurry, Zhao sighed, "In my opinion, if you have this heart, you might as well go and see your eldest cousin, although she has a low status, but in the end she wants to be in the old mansion of Yuge, the mansion of the general of Fengguo?" ”
Zhao shook his head, if there is one who can be counted on, can she not be scolded?
No matter how bad General Fengguo is, he is also a clansman, as long as he is a clansman, there is a way to climb to the palace, Rong Lan is thinking about how to get to Emperor Longwu, unless this Hu family girl is the main room of Yu Ge Lao, otherwise she will not be able to lead herself to the emperor? Could it be that a veteran of the Three Dynasties like Yu Ge Lao could still dedicate her to Emperor Longwu?
Hu Jiasong and Hu Jiannan ordered, and the Zhao family and Hu Jiagui naturally had to resolutely implement it, but she had to make her words clear beforehand, saving Rong Lan from being young and less knowledgeable, and when she found that the Fengguo General's Mansion did not have so much energy at all, she complained to the eldest and third of the Hu family that she was unwilling to exert her strength.
"It's not as good as this, what did my brother-in-law say that he was also the governor of the Weizhen side, I don't know how many people begged him to be promoted, I remember that you also lived in the capital for a few years before, and you still have a few old friends? You're in the capital, why don't you have to go over and ask for peace? Well, it can't be done without the elders of your daughter's family, you first draw up the post and ask your uncle to send someone to vote, and then I will accompany you around the mansions, "In Zhao's eyes, Rong Hai, the governor of the navy, is much more majestic than these servants in the capital, Rong Lan, as Rong Hai's daughter, came to the capital, can you still not send it away?"
Zhao is right, the Rong family is dedicated to operating in the capital, and the Hu family has lived in the capital for more than five years, and they have walked up and down and got acquainted with many people, including the General's Mansion and the Hou Bo's Mansion, but if Rong Lan is willing to go to those "old" homes to walk around, it will be Zhao's turn to remind?
Those old friends used to be walked around by Hu Shi himself, and now Hu Shi is almost suspended, she went to hand over the post to ask to see, how to explain to others when the time comes? And these people probably have heard about Zhuzhou a long time ago, Rong Lan doesn't believe that they will welcome her like before, but I'm afraid that they will pretend not to know her.
"What your aunt said about this, have you forgotten what your mother did wrong? She did something like that for her cousin, ruining herself is not counted, it is equivalent to ruining me, do you think those people in the capital who regard reputation as more important than life will open the door and ask me to enter the house? Rong Lan smiled coldly and pushed Zhao back, "Isn't my aunt wronged by Xue Rou and Xue Qing?" ”
Can she not be wronged? Thinking of the eldest daughter he gave as a concubine, and then looking at the two younger daughters, the Zhao family originally made up their minds to find the sons of two families in Jiangnan to be sons-in-law, even if the family background is thinner, it doesn't matter, anyway, the Hu family is not bad for money, as long as the future son-in-law knows how to study and progress, he can earn a life for his daughter in the future.
But the matter of the Hu family spread all over the two rivers like a gust of wind, and even the eldest daughter wrote back, saying that because of this aunt, she was squeezed by the jokes of other aunts of the Yu family, and even her little granddaughter was brought up by another aunt, saying that she was afraid of being taught badly by her daughter!
