Chapter 144 Jealousy

Dingyuan Hou Fangxin's wedding began vigorously and ended quietly. Second Mrs. Qi and the others did not leave to eat, and returned to Qi Mansion.

Fang Xin left Zeng Jing behind.

Fang Xin said clearly, just temporarily left Zeng Jing in the mansion to save her life. His reason was that Zeng Jing had gone through this incident, and if he returned home, there would be only a dead end. As for why he came to such a conclusion, it should have something to do with Zeng Jing's words. Zeng Jing said that the jade ring was the only ornament on her body that she could hold. It can be seen from this what kind of treatment Zeng Jing received in the Zeng family. Moreover, Xun Qingran suspected that during the time that Zeng Jing stayed in the Hou Mansion, he was afraid that she had already shown Fang Xin her pity through various methods.

The second lady of Qi thought that Zeng Jing had lost her woman's morality, and even if she was not qualified to be a concubine. What kind of identity is Hou Ye, that is, to buy a concubine, but also to behave well, innocent girl.

"They said they wouldn't take her, but what would outsiders think? I'm afraid that the Hou Ye will not be clear in the future, the woman of the Zeng family is really shameless, and it will always be a disaster to keep her. ”

Second Mrs. Qi hated Zeng Jing and was angry that she didn't listen to others. Although she is Fang Xin's aunt, Fang Xin's identity, status, and age are there, even if she is unwilling, she is not too persistent.

Xun Qingran had no choice but to persuade Wen Yan beside him. She also felt in her heart that Fang Xin's approach was too childlike. If the other party was a gentle and kind woman worth cherishing, Xun Qingran might say a few words for Fang Xin, but the other party was Zeng Jing.

When Fang Xin did this, he could only guess that the Zeng Jing he saw in Fang Xin's eyes was different from the Zeng Jing they saw in their eyes. Men look at women differently than women look at women, and in this regard, women can never understand men's thoughts, for the simple reason that women don't have that function and can't secrete as many male hormones. Xun Qing thought of it embarrassedly.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The matter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion soon spread all over the capital. first praised how righteous the two men were, how loyal and courageous. Later, Zeng Jing was left in the Hou Mansion, and the tone of the person who spoke changed, and he didn't even praise Han Xuanli, but talked about the hero's sad beauty pass, and the gentle township hero mound. This topic is even more magical than the previous one, and it spreads so quickly that the magnitude of distortion and exaggeration is unprecedented. There are all kinds of things to say, and some say how Zeng Jing was born a stunner, and how many foxy means he used to charm Dingyuan Hou. There are also those who say that Dingyuan Hou is obsessed with his heart, and he can't help it, and he bullies his wife and sister as concubines.

“…… Grandma, it's getting worse and worse out there. Alas, the second wife is angry, grandma, don't go to the New Year's Hall now. ”

The Tong family, who brought the news, finally said to Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran nodded, and he didn't know if Fang Xin had expected this situation.

"There is no one else except Zeng Jing who does things on the clothes of the official brother, why does the Hou Ye still marry her? With this opportunity, I just sent her away, but I stayed in the house, which is really incomprehensible. "Malt Road.

"Miss Zeng's appearance is not lost in scheming, but her heart is not right, and she has fallen into this result, which makes people, alas, ......," Kikyo said.

"Miss Zeng, the slave sees her as an unlucky person. That Han Gongzi, except that he is not an official, everything is good, and he has a great reputation now. I heard that when Han Gongzi went out of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, several adults in the court stopped him and invited him to his house to marry his daughter. It is said that such a man is not only filial, capable, decisive, righteous, and trustworthy, which is rare in the world, and will definitely not always stay in the pool in the future. The Tong family interjected.

"It's called something in the pool." Kikyo smiled and reminded the Tong family.

"Yes, yes, that's it. The bellflower girl follows her grandmother and is literate and hyphenated, which is really enviable. The slave girl has been complaining about the slave these days. It would be nice if I could learn from my grandmother like a few girls. "The Tong family is very good at beating snakes with sticks.

"You are single-minded, you serve your grandmother for a long time, not to mention literacy and hyphenation, there are many benefits." Kikyo laughed.

"Yes, yes, the minion remembers." The Tong family said with a smile.

"You have forgotten that Zeng Jing's luck is actually good. Don't say anything else, just talk about this marriage. The previous marriage was the youngest son in the family, and he was also an official who was not too big or small, married to be a wife, and will also be a housewife in the future. Now it is said that Zeng Ning is quite good. and Han Xuanli, who came up here, although he is Bai Ding, he is young and promising, and he is a man who is quite responsible. Zeng Jing is not unblessed, but she doesn't know how to cherish blessings. She didn't cherish these two good things, and she pushed them away in one way or another. In the end, he stayed in the Hou Mansion, but the concubine's identity was unknown. Therefore, people are most afraid of delusions, and the most important thing is to cherish blessings. Only by cherishing blessings will we be blessed. Xun Qingran said slowly.

The bellflower, malt and Tong families all responded respectfully and will keep it in mind.

After Xun Qingran finished speaking, she couldn't help yawning. Kikyo hurriedly took a thin quilt and served Xun Qingran to lie down.

"Grandma is tired, so take this opportunity to take a nap. I don't know how much I have to do for a while. Kikyo said.

Xun Qingran nodded, leaned on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

"Grandma is trapped like this, it's because of what happened last night." The Tong family didn't leave, but came forward and asked.

"What else is there but that?" Malt Road.

The Tong family looked at Xun Qingran, and then looked at the bellflower and malt, and said with a smile: "It's not the slave who speaks to grandma, the slave really avenges grandma." Grandma just entered the door, and she didn't even recognize the head, so she took over the housekeeper's errand. These days, who up and down in this house doesn't praise grandma for being smart and capable? is even more popular than the previous second grandmother. The old lady and the ladies rejoiced in their hearts, and the people below respected their grandmother, so naturally there was the little man who watched from the sidelines, and felt uncomfortable. secretly makes it bad, but he can't hold grandma. So I changed this method and tossed grandma. The slave said something in his heart, grandma is good everywhere, but her heart is too compassionate. A few days ago, the third master was going out, and there was work in the daytime, he didn't send someone to get things, and he had to sleep at night, so the third grandmother sent someone to get things, saying that the third master was going out to take it, and he was waiting to ask for it. Yesterday it was Brother Mao again, who didn't know, it was she who didn't take good care of the people in the yard, the child slept and kicked the quilt, sneezed, and sent someone to come, waiting to call grandma to get up and ask for the imperial doctor. Grandma has to take care of how many things during the day, and she sleeps late, how can she bear such a toss. Look, the minion doesn't know what other demon moths will come out over there. Grandma, you are blindly kind and treat them well, they can be grandma, you are easy to bully. ”

The Tong family spoke lightly, and saw that Xun Qingran was not disgusted, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

Xun Qingran opened his eyes and glanced at the Tong family, but the Tong family couldn't see what Xun Qingran meant, so they stopped their mouths.

What the Tong family said was right, since she was in charge of the family, some subordinates made stumbling blocks at the beginning, but she resolved them one by one. Later, when those people saw that she was not easy to fool, and that she had a capable girl and the support of the Rong family, they all stopped thinking about it. began to praise the fourth grandmother for how capable and smart she was.

Xun Qingran naturally doesn't take these things to heart, but some people can't stand it. For example, Grandma Qi San over there, every time they meet, they always have to say something sour and find fault with Xun Qing.

Xun Qingran knew in her heart that the second grandmother of Qi raised the fetus, and the third grandmother of Qi thought that it was her turn to be in charge. Even if the eldest lady is in charge, she can take care of some things. But the power of the housekeeper fell into the hands of Xun Qingran, and she had nothing to do. If Xun Qing dyed it badly, it would be fine, but Xun Qing did it well, and it was praised by everyone, and the vinegar full of Qi San's grandmother had to bubble out.

As a result, I thought of such a way to toss Xun Qing. Every time, Xun Qingran has to cook it himself, otherwise there will be a lot of words coming out. For example, Brother Mao'er's time, Grandma Qi San said that Brother Zhang'er was sick on the uncle's side, and the fourth master rode a sweaty BMW to ask for a doctor, although Brother Mao was a concubine, he was also the little master of the Guogong Mansion, and he was the nephew of the fourth master and the fourth grandmother. If Xun Qingran is not thoughtful at all, it means that Xun Qingran is not kind and looks down on their brothers.

Xun Qingran also secretly speculated that Grandma Qi San didn't have the idea to use this method to make her mentally insufficient, so that she had an excuse to meddle in housework?

"Grandma," the Tong family said with a smile.

Xun Qingran withdrew his thoughts and glanced at the Tong family. The temperament of the Tong family, Xun Qingran is also very clear, so enthusiastic, he does not hesitate to disturb her rest, the Tong family must have their own little abacus.

"Everyone is a family, and it is also appropriate to work harder. Mama don't want to say such things again. was heard, but I was afraid that people would say that I was not lenient, and I would also give my grandmother a charge of instigating the master. Xun Qingran said lightly.

The Tong family can't do anything else, but the ability to observe words and colors is first-class, seeing Xun Qingzhi like this, he naturally nodded again and again.

"It's just that it's in the grandmother's house, and there are no outsiders, and the slaves go out, and they don't dare to say such things."

"Well, it's good that you understand the reason, Mama."

"Grandma, the second wife will leave everything to grandma, you are the person in charge of this house. If you go along like this, the minions will be afraid that they will have a bigger appetite and be more bullied, and grandma will not be able to take care of things. The Tong family said cautiously.

"What's the best way to do it?" Xun Qingran asked.

The Tong family was waiting for this sentence, so they couldn't help but move to Xun Qingran, and then looked out of the door.

Xun Qing gave Baozhu a look, and Baozhu went out to guard the door.

"Grandma, the old lady sent a message and asked the second wife to check the gambling in the house, and the second wife must have handed over this matter to grandma." The Tao of the Tong family.

Xun Qingran sat up and remembered the events of the previous two days.

That day, the Rong family left Aunt Zheng to play here late, and when Aunt Zheng went back, she had to walk through the garden, and the door was locked at that time, but the gatekeeper didn't know where to go. Aunt Zheng is a real person, so she waited in place for a long time, and when the gatekeeper was found, Aunt Zheng was already cold. After that, Aunt Zheng lay on the kang for two days, took the medicine, and got better.

Second Mrs. Qi sent someone to investigate, only to know that the one who was watching the garden gate was going to gamble. So he threw the janitor out of his errand. When Rong Shi found out, he was very angry, so he called her and Second Mrs. Qi over, and told her that this gambling was a great disaster and must be banned. At the end of each year, and in the first month of the year, there are people who take advantage of the fact that the masters are asleep, gather together to eat, drink, and gamble, so they neglect their errands and lead to troubles, some of them take water, some steal, no matter what is tight, it is enough to cause great disasters.

Second Mrs. Qi naturally asked Xun Qingran to pay attention to this matter, and these days, the night watchmen have also arrested one or two cases, and they have all been dealt with.

"The slave knows that this must be the case, without grandma's instructions, the slave has already checked privately for grandma." The Tong family leaned into Xun Qingran's ear, lowered his voice and said, "The ones caught these days are all small, and I can't help the wind in the house." The slave has been confirmed, and the third grandmother's companion Mama Cai is a big family. The biggest gambler is in the Peony Pavilion. It is close to the façade and is the most remote. also told grandma that the person behind Mama Cai is the third grandmother. In every game, the three grandmothers have to take the lead. ”

"Oh?" Xun Qingran raised his eyebrows, this is explosive news. No wonder this gambling trend has been repeatedly banned, it turns out that there is a master as an umbrella. It's no wonder that the third grandmother is not afraid of tossing at night, people are originally doing a business that makes money at night, and the more they go to the night, the more energetic they are.

"Is that true?"

Xun Qingran asked.

"Guarantee that it is true, the slave and grandma packed the ticket, if it is not true, let the grandma dispose of it." The Tong family's gambling curse swore an oath.

"Hmm," Xun Qingran thought with his head down.

The Tong family's companion smiled, "Grandma, this kiln, is not like other petty fights, gambling copper coins, at most a few cents of silver will come to an end, this kiln, gambling is huge, only gambling silver, winning and losing every night, are hundreds, I heard that there are more than a thousand."

Xun Qingran frowned, it was just a gamble of the subordinates, and the Tong family's words were too exaggerated.

"The slave doesn't dare to deceive grandma, what the slave hears around the bush is like this, there is nothing wrong." The Tong family hurriedly said.

Xun Qingran nodded, the wealth of the subordinates, she had also seen it in the Xun family, not to mention that this was the Guogong Mansion.

"Can you tell when they started betting?"

"Grandma, such a big gamble is very secret. The minions inquired about the above news, thanks to the news that the minion men heard from the little guys outside. The minions only heard that this gamble is not timely, sometimes it is opened, sometimes it is not opened. ”

"That's going to be hard to catch." Xun Qing said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Grandma, you give a few people to the minions, and the minions go to the secret guard every day, and they can always be caught. This grasp is a fat ......, hehehe. The Tong family rubbed their hands together and laughed.

"If you really catch it, it will naturally have your benefits." Xun Qing said.

"Grandma, then you can divide a few people for the minions now, and the minions will ...... from tonight"

Can't startle the snake, Xun Qingran waved his hand, and a thought flashed in his mind. Someone wants to play a game with her, and she doesn't mind, as long as the opponent can afford to lose.
