Chapter 72: Rumors
Pei Shufen coughed breathlessly, but saw that Chu Huajin didn't have a trace of comfort, and just hugged his concubine and went out.
Seeing that the people in the house suddenly walked cleanly, Pei Shufen couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed to the bed in his inner room and cried. - She takes care of the housework for him, honors his mother, and looks forward to his return like the stars and the moon. Who knew that he came back, but he gave her no face for the sake of the two concubines
Outside the door, Kiriyue heard her lady crying in the house, knowing that she was angry, she didn't dare to persuade her, so she just waited for her to get better before going over.
Mrs. Tai knew that Chu Huajin was back, so she hurriedly ordered someone to call him over to talk. I heard someone report about the incident in Zhonglan Courtyard again, and felt that Chu Hua was too careful, so he said that Chu Hua was careful. and let his henchman Liu's mother persuade Pei Shufen, saying that she would let Hou Ye apologize to her in person when she was free.
Pei Shufen finally felt that her face was better, and after thinking about it, she didn't have the ability to fight with Hou Ye, so it was better to take this opportunity to be soft, and give each other a step. I also felt that Chu Huajin was treating her like this now, just because there was no round house. - Secretly reminded myself not to be too anxious, wait for the round house, give birth to a son, and then clean up those concubines and aunts. He put down his body and took the initiative to say a few soft words to Chu Huajin.
Chu Hua knew that he was too partial to the concubine room, and he was also a little embarrassed. This time, when I came back early, there was a place where Pei's family was requested, and Pei Shufen took the initiative to show goodwill, and quickly got off the donkey, and the two got back together and prepared Pei Shufen's ceremony together.
For this ceremony, the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion was laid out in a new way, the tortoiseshell was opened, and the mattress was set up with hibiscus, which was an endless scene of wealth and elegance.
When Pei Shufen got married, she was in the midst of filial piety, and she didn't even wear a red wedding dress, which has always been a pity.
Therefore, this time, Pei Shufen has the ability to compensate for his own heart and do his best.
The subordinates of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion were even more happy. When there was a big event in the house, they could make money, so they pointed out all kinds of names and reported them to the tent. Pei Shufen only cares about whether his courtesy is decent at this time, and he doesn't care how much money he spends. - Besides, the silver in these gongs is not spent in vain. Staying on the account will only cheapen others later.
Pei Shufen figured this out, and the more he appointed his subordinates, he gained a good reputation among his subordinates.
Not long after, some people in the capital praised Ning Yuanhou's lady for filling the house, although she was born as a concubine, but she was generous and kind-hearted, compared to the mean, vicious, and jealous first lady, I don't know how many times better. It is also said that although this lady is a concubine, she acts older than everyone in the world, and ordinary concubines are not as good as her, not to mention the main room of the first concubine, which is really vulgar and unlikely.
Gradually, many things in the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion somehow spread out. Including disobedience to his mother-in-law, whipping of the concubine, and miscarriage through the room, etc., all planted on Pei Shufan's head. The people outside only listen to the general idea and listen to the excitement. If you are a little more careful, casually inquire about some details, for example, which of your Ningyuan Marquis Mansion has a miscarriage? Or whether the concubine was beaten or something.
Even if the passage room of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion was aborted after Pei Shufan died, and the concubine room of the Marquis of Ning Yuan was whipped by the Marquis of Ning Yuan after Pei Shufan died, these various truths were deliberately distorted and spread to the high-ranking families in the capital. To say that ordinary people are not the Qingtian master who judges yin and yang, Pei Shufan is a dead person, who does she not carry these black pots? Could it be that the dead can still crawl out of the grave and speak?
For this reason, the rumor-mongers are unscrupulous, and even the messengers have begun to use their creativity and imagination to make up many new jokes on the basis of "poisonous women" and "stupid women" for fun.
With the arrival of Mrs. Ning Yuanhou and Lu Li, the rumors about Ning Yuanhou's original wife Pei Shufan have intensified, and there is a tendency to get out of control.
These words reached the ears of Mrs. Ningyuan's Marquis Mansion, but they were right in her arms. The Chen Biao prepared by Pei Shufan before his death made Mrs. Tai's teeth itch with hatred, and now when she heard others say that Pei Shufan was not, she endured it and didn't add a few more words. However, in his words and deeds, he brought out the appearance of "rumors are true", which made people outside more convinced that there must be such a thing as "disobedient mother-in-law", so the rumors of Pei Shufan's "unfilial piety and immorality" became more and more popular.
Someone asked Pei Shufen for confirmation, but she just laughed it off, and generously begged others not to say it. - She is a secretion for her eldest sister, and some things are naturally not said if she can.
Pei Shufen is so spitting, in the eyes of some people, it is exactly the appearance of having an inside story, which happens to confirm some rumors. They all praised Pei Shufen for her kindness, no matter how harsh others treated her, she didn't speak ill of her, she was really a kind person. There are some high-ranking ladies in the capital who are more honest and sincere, and finally handed them over and no longer isolated her.
Only some people with good brains can see the twists and turns in this, and they are quite unfair to the actions of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. But the serious mothers didn't speak, and they didn't say much. Just have the opportunity to help Pei Shufan distinguish a few points, and at the same time stay away from the seemingly virtuous lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.
The circle of Gaomen in the capital is small, and these words quickly reached the ears of the Pei family.
Pei Shufan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia, was angry, said that she was sick and refused to attend Pei Shufen's ceremony.
When Pei Shufen heard about this, she hurriedly came to Pei's mansion to ask for a guilty servant, and did a lot of work for her mother-in-law, but it made outsiders who didn't know the truth feel that the Pei family was really unkind and treated the concubine harshly.
Seeing this, the young grandmother of the Pei family, Shen, saw that this was spreading more and more, if Pei Shufan's reputation of "unfilial piety and unvirtuous" was confirmed, the two children would be dragged down in the future.
Although the saint is now compassionate to the two children, but the grace of heaven is unpredictable, who knows what the saint will think in the future? In the future, whenever they have the slightest mistake, naturally no one will mention it when it is good, but when it is bad, these are all evidence of guilt in court.
And the big hat of the biological mother's "unfilial piety and unvirtuous" will be enough for Chu Qianyi's throne to be taken away, and Chu Qianqian's title of Lin'an Township Monarch will be reduced. - The people who spread this kind of words have really sinister intentions, and their intentions are not small.
In fact, who is the initiator of these rumors, anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. Whoever will get the greatest benefits, and whoever is the most involved, will have the greatest suspicion.
After a little investigation, several people in charge of the Pei family concluded that Pei Shufen must be making waves behind these rumors. But in the end, it is a family, and Pei Shufen is not very old, and she is also the nominal stepmother of the two children, and the Pei family does not want to do things absolutely nothing. They only planned to teach Pei Shufen a lesson at her ceremony. If Pei Shufen still doesn't repent, the Pei family will naturally have a back hand to deal with her.
The left inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi, is one of the nine secretaries of the six departments, and the He family has also become one of the most prominent families in the capital. When He Ningxin followed Mrs. Xu out for entertainment, she also heard about the bad deeds of Ning Yuanhou's original wife.
These things were vividly transmitted, but she was completely confused. The so-called disobedience to the mother-in-law, whipping the concubine, as well as the miscarriage of the intercourse, and even the jealousy and other rumors, in He Ningxin's opinion, do not know where to start, they are all fragile lies.
But knowing that she knew, she was still very unhappy in her heart. - It turned out that when I was Pei Shufan, I failed like that. This kind of nonsense rumor, no one from the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion came out to refute the rumor for himself.
Mrs. Xu noticed He Ningxin's sullen appearance in recent days, and she didn't know why.
After the lunch on this day, Mrs. Xu left He Ningxin for detailed questioning.
He Ningxin swallowed for a long time before she said: "My daughter thinks that Ning Yuanhou's original match may not be like that......"
Mrs. Xu immediately understood what He Ningxin said, took her hand and sat down beside her, stroked her face with a smile, and pulled a strand of He Ningxin's hair to her ear before asking: "Tell my mother, why do you think that Ning Yuanhou's original partner may not be as outrageous as the rumors say?" ”
He Ningxin lowered her head, and her face slowly turned a little red. - She can't tell Mrs. Xu that her previous life was Ning Yuanhou's original wife, right? She still wants to live a good life again, but she doesn't want to be burned to death as an "evil spirit".
Mrs. Xu saw that He Ningxin couldn't say why, thinking that she just had some ideas, and she didn't really have insight, and she was slightly disappointed in her heart. But after thinking about it, Mrs. Xu felt that she was too long-looking. He Ningxin finally understood that relatives near and far were estranged, so it was better not to force her too hard. You can't become fat by eating in one bite, and you have to teach it slowly. Then he changed the topic again and stopped pressuring her. The two gossiped a few words, and He Ningxin said goodbye.
Coming out of Mrs. Xu's yard listlessly, He Ningxin turned onto the verandah next to the courtyard and walked towards her yard.
Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, came in from the second gate and wanted to go to Mrs. Xu's courtyard to say goodbye, and happened to step on the verandah.
The two met in the middle of the hallway, saluting each other.
He Ningxin lowered her head and stepped aside, letting Jian Feiyang go first.
These days, Mrs. Xu has already told her about this family matter, which she has set since she was a child. The Zhenguo family is the first of the "three princes and three marquis" of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the people of the Jian family are extremely loyal.
He Ningxin looks at people, and has always put character first, followed by ability. Needless to say, Jian Feiyang's character is also outstanding, so He Ningxin has no aversion to this family matter. Now that Jian Feiyang is not only a guest, but also her future husband, it is reasonable for her to let Jian Feiyang go first.
Jian Feiyang looked at He Ningxin standing aside, her snow-white little face a little worried. took two steps forward silently, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Miss He, I heard that the glass conservatory in the back garden of Hefu is very attractive, I wonder if Miss He has time to enjoy a face and take a certain view?" ”
He Ningxin looked up a little stunned, and saw that although Jian Feiyang's face was faint, there was some concern in his eyes, which did not seem to be fake.
"Grandpa Guo has a life, Ning Xin doesn't dare to disobey." He Ningxin didn't shirk much. Although the Great Qi Dynasty pays attention to the defense of men and women, it is extremely magnanimous to men and women who are married. Moreover, the parents of both men and women are happy to let the unmarried couple have more contact before marriage to increase mutual understanding. As long as it is not a lonely man and a widow, there is nothing to hide.
Of course, being a husband and wife is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but if the two children also look at each other, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?
The parents in the Great Qi Dynasty are not all nerds and fools, they are also people who have come over, and they will not educate their sons and daughters, insisting that their wives are used for respect, and concubines are used for love. - This kind of thing can only be said by parents who are homesick and ruined.
He Ningxin and Jian Feiyang both grew up in the Great Qi Dynasty, so they naturally knew that even if they talked to each other alone, it was not overdistanced, and He Ningxin's father and mother were happy to see it.
Jian Feiyang saw that He Ningxin did not object, and hurriedly instructed his little servant: "Go and report a message to Aunt Xu, just say that Miss He will accompany me to the back garden to see the glass conservatory, and by the way, I will ask Mrs. He for peace." When I come back from the back garden, I will visit Aunt Xu again. ”
The Zhenguo family is a hereditary meritorious family, and He Siping is a champion from a poor family, and the two families are not considered world friends. But when Jian Shihong, the old prince of the town, and He Siping were young people, they were good friends. Later, the Jian family was persuaded by He Siping, so he escaped the end of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, so Jian Feiyang respected and relied on the eldest lord of the He family, He Siping and Mrs. Xu. Even if there is no friendship between in-laws, he will respect He Siping and Mrs. Xu as uncles and aunts.
After instructing the little servant, Jian Feiyang turned around and walked with He Ningxin. The two of them followed the verandah, turning towards the bluestone road leading to the cultivation and reading hall in the back garden.
"Forgive Jian for being presumptuous, may I ask why Miss He is so worried?" The two walked silently for a while, and He Ningxin's maid followed far behind, letting the two talk in front
