Chapter 538: Unjust, False and Wrongly Decided Cases
As soon as Sanniang came out of the old princess's room, she instructed the stewards of each room to take care of the people under them.
Although the Ye family and Zhuang Wangfu have not yet put this marriage on the table, the contacts between the two families have also been carried out privately without a trace.
Mrs. Ye has been with Master Ye in office, the eldest son has been by her side because his health is not very good, and the second son is in charge of the Ministry of Rites.
It is said that this time the master of the Ye family returned to Beijing to report on his work, and because his performance was good, the emperor ordered him to be re-elected. Originally, Mrs. Ye also wanted to follow Master Ye back to her post, but it happened that her second daughter-in-law was pregnant, because it was the first fetal position and the fetal position was not very stable, Mrs. Ye was afraid that there would be an accident if there was no elder around the young couple, so she took the initiative to stay in Beijing for a while, handed over the family affairs to the eldest daughter-in-law, and by the way, she married her third son Zhang Luo, who was studying in Gongyuan.
It can also be seen from this that this Mrs. Ye can be regarded as a very good mother-in-law.
The second young lady of the Ye family wanted to eat green plums, because it was not the season to produce green plums, and even pickled green plums could not be found on the market. Because the old princess has to take medicine all year round, the house often prepares preserved fruits, and it just so happens that the old princess doesn't like sour things very much, so she left some. The old princess naturally has no opinions, and she is good friends with the Ye family, even if she can't become an in-law, there is no harm.
Mrs. Ye was very grateful, and immediately asked her grandmother to bring a message to say that she would come to Prince Zhuang's mansion in two days to personally thank the old princess.
This is just some ordinary exchange of courtesies, Mrs. Ye said that she wanted to thank him seems to be a bit of a fuss, but in fact, everyone understands. This time, Mrs. Ye also wanted to give each other a letter to Zhuang Wangfu, and if there was no problem with both parties, then they would officially get married.
It was a happy event, but the person concerned was not very happy.
After returning from the palace, the county lord of Whelan was depressed. Several times, when she was taught by Mama Shen, she would desert and flash her mind, which made her suffer a lot of unspeakable hardships. Originally, because of her progress and obedience, she hadn't been punished by Mama Shen for a long time.
In the afternoon of this day. When Yao Yuerong was embroidering with the county lord of Huilan again, Mama Shen, who was guarding them, was called out by several other grandmothers to talk in the courtyard because of something.
"Cousin has something on his mind?" Yao Yuerong asked softly while threading the needle. The two maids sitting on the pestle were each holding their own embroidered baskets and were drowsy, and no one noticed the conversation.
The county lord of Whelan pursed her lips, this is an action she has often done lately, and when she wants to say something, she will close her mouth when the terrifying Mama Shen sounds.
Yao Yuerong looked at the half-finished product he embroidered to the sunlight outside. smiled with satisfaction, and she didn't care when she saw that Huilan didn't answer her words, she only glanced at the purse in Huilan's hand, and said as if jokingly: "It's all at this time, why is my cousin still embroidering these useless?" Isn't it time to embroider something festive? ”
The county lord of Whelan County did not have the shyness of ordinary women to mention such a thing. She pursed her lips and only asked softly: "Why don't you embroider yourself!" ”
Yao Yuerong smiled, although she has always stayed with the county lord of Huilan since she entered the mansion, this county lord is like a wooden man, rarely talking to her, even after she is free, it is no different from before. Whatever she says, most of the time she either nods or shakes her head, or says "um" or something like that. Especially when Mama Shen was there, she was honest and well-behaved like a kitten. made Yao Yuerong very doubtful about the authenticity of the rumors he had heard.
However, now it seems that the county lord is not really unresponsive to anything.
Yao Yuerong skillfully drew the embroidery needle in his hand in his hair, and continued to bow his head to embroider, while saying lightly: "I came to Beijing this time, and everyone knows why I came." Something to prepare. The family is already ready. "Because of the special status of Prince Li's son, the Yao family doesn't know when the boss will suddenly issue a holy decree saying that the marriage will be completed immediately, and it is inevitable that there will be disagreements in a hurry, so Yao Yuerong's dowry naturally can't be done slowly.
Therefore, on the day she received the will, Yao Yuerong's mother had already asked the best local wedding shop to prepare everything, and some things that were not brought would also be sent to Beijing by domestic servants after receiving the official will.
So even if she is outstanding in embroidery, it is useless.
When the county lord of Huilan saw Yao Yuerong talking about his marriage, his face did not have the shyness of other ladies, so he couldn't help but look at her twice, and saw Mama Shen, who was standing in the court talking, looked twice into the house, and the county lord of Huilan immediately buried his head honestly.
Yao Yuerong saw it in her eyes, and she didn't break it, but while leisurely threading the needle and thread, she seemed to be chatting casually: "I heard that Mrs. Ye is going to enter the mansion in two days to discuss important matters with the old lady, presumably ......" She didn't continue, but said separately, "The eldest cousin has already instructed the people in the mansion to pay attention to their words and deeds, and not to make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders." ”
"My cousin knows even that." Whelan lowered his head and looked at the tip of the needle in his hand.
Yao Yuerong smiled: "I also heard that when I went to ask the old lady for peace early yesterday morning, I heard that the steward caught a few mothers-in-law who secretly gambled money while the masters were taking a nap, so I found out." The eldest cousin is also worried about the county lord's affairs, after all, if there is anything bad at this time, this is a good thing...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
The needle in the hand of the county lord of Huilan paused, and his eyes seemed to be thoughtful, at this time there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the county lord of Huilan heard the sound and knew that it was Mama Shen who came back after explaining the matter to someone. She honestly bowed her head and embroidered her own flowers.
There is another person who is also dissatisfied with this family affair.
This night, Liu Mengcheng invited the prince of Zhuangjun to drink again. After three rounds of drinking, Xuan'an was interested, holding a folding fan and the girl who sang a little song as a young lady and a scholar, singing and singing in harmony.
Speaking of which, everyone has merit, and no one is useless. is like this Xuan'an Shizi, who has always been regarded as a wine bag and rice bag, in fact, he also has a specialty. He has an excellent voice, whether he sings a small song in the market or a big drama on the stage, whether he sings a male voice or a female voice, he sings very well. As long as he opened his voice, the girls here who made a living by singing little songs didn't dare to speak casually.
After Xuan'an finished singing, he happily returned to his seat and brought himself a glass of wine, and poured it down.
Sitting there, Liu Mengcheng smiled and praised: "The son of the world sings so well." ”
Xuan'an heard that he was beautiful, and he was happier than others praising him for his good learning.
Liu Mengcheng's empty wine glass for Xuan'an was filled with wine again, and he seemed to ask casually: "Has the prince returned to the inner courtyard to see the princess and the county lord recently?" ”
Xuan'an drank it all again, hugged the girl who snuggled over, and said casually while moving his hands and feet: "I haven't been there for a few days." Last time there was a guest at home, I met Whelan, and she was fine. I heard that now my grandmother doesn't forbid her very much, and she still takes her into the palace. ”
Liu Mengcheng was naturally happy to see that his sweetheart's situation had improved, and he poured wine for Xuan'an himself.
I didn't want Xuan'an to say the next sentence: "Well, I heard my father mention it, and my grandmother also told her about a family." ”
"What?" Liu Meng was stunned and immediately glared at Xuan'an.
Xuan'an saw that the wine glass was not full and Liu Mengcheng didn't pour the wine, so he didn't care, and took the half glass of wine and poured it down.
"What kind of people are worthy of the county lord?" Liu Mengcheng took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions, but the hand that made the flask trembled a little.
Xuan An smacked his lips: "It seems that what kind of Sichuan political envoy or Hu Guangbu political envoy is the son?" ”
Liu Mengcheng endured his anger and said: "Shizi, the political envoy of Sichuan and the political envoy of Huguang are not the same family. You can't remember your official name, you can always remember your last name, right? ”
Xuan'an didn't care about Liu Mengcheng's tone, thought about it, nodded and said, "This master remembers, his surname is Nie." That's right, it's the surname Nie! Xuan An nodded in affirmation.
"Nie?" Liu Mengcheng thought about it in his heart, although he has been in the army for a while, but when he was in the royal palace before, because he would do some things about the exchange of Chinese books in the palace, he still recognized some big officials.
He didn't remember that the political envoys of Sichuan and Hu Guangbu were surnamed Nie, could it be that he had been away from Beijing for so long and had been replaced? Originally, there was a political envoy surnamed Nie in Henan, and it happened to be at this time that he returned to Beijing to report on his work.
"Shizi, is the political envoy surnamed Nie the political envoy of Henan? The subordinates only remembered that the previous political envoy of Henan was surnamed Nie, and he should be waiting for the order in the capital at this time. Liu Mengcheng asked Shizi, who was busy flirting with the girl in his arms.
Shizi was the most impatient to remember these official names, but he couldn't say that he couldn't remember them, and when he saw that the surname and the official position almost matched, he nodded irresponsibly and affirmed: "Yes, it is the political envoy of Henan, it must be, absolutely, this time it can't be wrong!" ”
"Is the son of the Henan political envoy Nie's family?" The black clouds rolled in Liu Mengcheng's eyes, but he secretly hooked his lips and sneered.
The girl who was serving beside Liu Mengcheng covered her mouth boredly and yawned, turned her head and suddenly saw Liu Mengcheng's expression, she was so frightened that she was clever on the spot, and her sleepiness disappeared.
I have to say that because of the existence of people like Xuan'an Shizi, there have been too many wrongful convictions in this world. It's a pity that the person himself doesn't know, and he still lives happily, and he doesn't even have a sense of guilt.
