Chapter 125: Casting the Net

β€»One more is delivered. Two more pink plus more at two o'clock in the afternoon. Three watches at eight o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that her daughter understood what she meant, Jian Shiyun smiled and pulled her to sit on the edge of the dresser, took out a few pieces of jewelry from her jewelry box, put them on Chen Yilan's head, and whispered to her: "Your aunt found out the mother's dowry list and asked the steward to take it to the Changxing Marquis Mansion to count the dowry for the mother." If there is one less, Xie will have to compensate ten times as much. Jian Shiyun was sent to Zhuangzi, and her dowry was taken by the Xie family. When Xie's eldest daughter got married, Xie took Jian Shiyun's dowry as his own dowry for his daughter, and accompanied most of them out.

Although poor Chen Yilan is the eldest daughter, she is not even as good as a concubine.

Hearing that there was a bit of a taste of raising her eyebrows in her mother's words, Chen Yilan burst out laughing, and was also very happy: "Isn't Aunt Xie going to vomit blood in anger?" Auntie's trick really took out Aunt Xie's heart! My mother used to say that my aunt was the most kind and generous person in the world, but now it seems that even rabbits bite when they are in a hurry. - My aunt is really on par with Aunt Xie! ”

Jian Shiyun didn't think it was wrong, took her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen your aunt and uncle for more than 20 years, and the Jian family has suffered a lot of trouble, even if she is different from before, it is not strange." Besides, no matter how powerful your aunt is, doesn't she still rely on your eldest cousin? If it weren't for his birth and death, and he came back after fighting for this future, the saint might not be able to think of our Jian family. - If it weren't for the recovery of the Jian family, I really wouldn't dare to let you run in this draft. ”

Speaking of entering the palace in the draft, Chen Yilan remembered Jian Feiyi's appearance just now, and quietly leaned over Jian Shiyun's ear and whispered: "Mother, did my cousin go to the election?" The show girl primary election has passed, Jian Feiyi was not happy when she heard the re-election, Chen Yilan thought that she either lost the election or did not participate in the election.

There are many requirements for the Great Qi Dynasty to participate in the draft, and it is possible that they are not qualified to run.

When Jian Shiyun heard this, she remembered that Old Madam Jian blamed her for not sending her daughter to the palace if she really loved her, so she couldn't help but glance at Chen Yilan and asked in a low voice, "Lan'er, do you have any blame for your mother?" I don't have the ability to protect you, and even your in-laws' family has been robbed away......"

Chen Yilan was also sad at the beginning, but now she has already figured it out. Because something happened to his mother's mother's family, the family would rather let the eldest son marry the eldest daughter than marry themselves, and it is not a good family at all. Although my mother has always resented Aunt Xie for being a hindrance and robbing her of her good marriage. Chen Yilan knows about marriage, how can she say that she will change it? Can a cow press its head without drinking water? - It's always you and me, and both sides nod their heads to make things happen.

"Mother, Saion lost his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing? β€”β€”Instead of being calculated by Aunt Xie at home, I don't know what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates I don't know what kind of rations, my daughter petitioned to enter the palace and serve the saint. The saint also suffered back then, and he was definitely not a person who didn't succeed. Chen Yilan comforted Jian Shiyun and said.

Jian Shiyun nodded with satisfaction, took Chen Yilan in her arms, comforted her in every possible way, and whispered to her: "Don't force yourself too hard." When I was in Longxi Mansion before, my mother didn't know if the Guogong Mansion could talk. Besides, far water can't quench your thirst, so instead of matching you to Aunt Xie's maiden nephew, it is better to let you participate in the draft and get rid of that place first. Besides, your father has been idle at home all these years, with an empty title, and he is not comfortable in his heart, and he has been looking forward to finding a real shortage, so he moved his mind to let you participate in the draft girl. If it weren't for your father's thoughts, Aunt Xie's calculation would have been completed. ”

"Now that we are back in the Guogong Mansion, your aunt is willing to support us, even if you lose the election, you don't have to worry about being indiscriminately matched by Aunt Xie."

Chen Yilan smiled: "My mother is too worried. It's hard to say whether Aunt Xie can still be an aunt at this time. The mother is soft and soft, but the aunt is different. Looking at my aunt's posture, I will not give up if I don't drive Aunt Xie out of the Changxing Hou Mansion. ”

Jian Shiyun also smiled, but she was not as sure as Chen Yilan, and said in a deep voice: "Your father is not a ruthless person. Aunt Xie has been with him for more than ten years, so she naturally has affection. I don't beg him to drive Aunt Xie out of the Hou Mansion, I just hope that he can give me the dignity of my wife. Also, if you enter the palace in the future, you must remember that your eldest cousin and future eldest cousin are the ones who can really help you. ”

Chen Yilan listened to her mother's words. She is not a foolish person, she has not been taken care of by her mother for so many years, she can grow up safely, and her heart and nature are not comparable to ordinary pampered girls.

The mother and daughter lived in the Zhenguo Mansion with peace of mind, and just waited for the queen mother to "recover", and then they could start the re-election.

He Ningxin is in the He Mansion, and in the past few days, she has performed her duties with Mrs. Xu, and the rumors of the daughter of the He Mansion "running away" have also been investigated.

Mrs. Xu first told the second room of the He family and the Nie family that she sent someone to investigate, and then said, "Your second uncle's family has been fine for the past few days, nothing special. It's Aunt Nie's house, a while ago, there was a person like a servant woman from a big family who went to their house a few times. Aunt Nie is a broken mouth, and she may not be able to be tricked. ”

It is very consistent with He Ningxin's guess.

He Ningxin asked tentatively, "It is possible to find out which family is the descendant?" "Ten have* is a descendant of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "You and I are Tiqi, you can find out what you want?" - As for this news, it was also our housekeeper who spent a lot of money and effort to find out. ”

He Ningxin had no choice but to laugh along, and said to Mrs. Xu: "My daughter wants to pick up the second sister and his wife to go to the house." ”

Mrs. Xu had a headache when she thought of He Ningyu, and asked with a frown, "What do you do when you see them?" - Do you think they don't get into enough trouble? ”

"The bell must be tied to the bell, and this matter started because of them, so they naturally have to contribute." In He Ningxin's plan, Nie Wei, who caused the whole trouble, was a very important chess piece.

Mrs. Xu glanced at He Ningxin, and seeing that she was confident, she said with some hesitation: "When your father comes back in the evening, let's discuss it together, okay?" ”

He Ningxin didn't plan for Mrs. Xu to agree with her idea at once, and she had already prepared a water mill kung fu and waited for Mrs. Xu.

"Mother will do whatever she says. After dinner in the evening, my daughter came over to say goodbye to my mother. He Ningxin smiled and blessed Mrs. Xu, very playful.

After dinner, He Ningxin went back to clean up, and then went to Mrs. Xu's upper room.

Master He listened to Mrs. Xu's instructions and waited for He Ningxin to come over in the upper room.

He Ningxin entered the house, first greeted him according to the number of courtesies, and then followed Mrs. Xu and Master He to the inner room to talk.

Outside the gate of Mrs. Xu's courtyard, she left her henchmen to guard the door. At the door of the outhouse, there are two door gods, Hui Qiu and Hui Dong.

He Ningxin's own big maids Fufeng and Fuliu took a group of little maids to listen to the mother-in-law chatting in the ear room next to him.

In Mrs. Xu's inner room, only the family of three was left behind.

He Ningxin's intention, Mrs. Xu has already told Master He.

Master He sat on the circle chair opposite the soft couch, thinking that He Ningxin was worried that he would not be able to get married, so he wanted to calm her heart and comforted: "Xin'er, you don't have to worry about this." Feiyang is not that kind of person, me and your mother are not soft-eared people, and they will not take these rumors to heart. You will be able to raise yourself and get married in September. - Why bother to find yourself unhappy? ”

Mrs. Xu also nodded in agreement: "Xin'er, you don't have to worry about your father. We are not people who suffer dumb losses, and we will make up for it later. - just don't rush it. "The most important thing now is that He Ningxin gets married safely. When she gets married, their He family will naturally free up their hands to clean up those with ill intentions.

He Ningxin thought differently, so she got up and went to the tea niche in the corner to make a cup of tea for her father and mother, and put it on the carved hollow rosewood offering table in the middle of her father and mother, and persuaded: "Father, mother, drink a cup of tea first, and listen to my daughter sort this matter out." ”

After speaking, He Ningxin explained her analysis to Master He and Mrs. Xu again.

It's not that Master He didn't think that this matter might be used by someone with a heart as a reason to attack him, but now, he can only endure it, and wait for his daughter to get married, and then make plans. If you come out to reason with others before your daughter gets married, it will only make this matter very loud, and when the time comes, it will make a lot of trouble, and your daughter and son-in-law will be completely shameless.

After listening to Master He's concerns, He Ningxin said again: "Dad is hanging on his daughter, and his daughter should also think about his father." We must not pretend to be deaf and dumb in this matter and let these people continue to talk nonsense. You must know that the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop, as long as they do not achieve their goal, this will be endless! ”

"You have a point. If you are not reconciled, we may be able to think of a different way. Master He felt that what his daughter said was also reasonable. The most important thing now is not that they unilaterally settle the matter, but to find out the black hand in order to cut off the source.

"Mother, this matter, my daughter wants to give it a try and personally help our He family get justice." He Ningxin cautiously proposed to Mrs. Xu.

In the past, He Ningxin was a girl who was ignorant of the world, and Mrs. Xu and Master He never let her do serious things.

Mrs. Xu thought for a while, looked at He Ningxin and asked, "This matter, whether it's big or not, it's not small." Are you sure? ”

He Ningxin pursed her lips and smiled, sat down next to Mrs. Xu, hugged Mrs. Xu's arm, and said in a low voice, "My daughter has said a big thing." In fact, this matter is indispensable to ask my father to help ......"

Mrs. Xu was relieved and smiled deliberately: "Oh, dare to love you as long as your father, not your mother?" ”

Master He looked at his wife and daughter with a smile on his face, but his heart blossomed.

He Ningxin saw that the time had come, and took the opportunity to say: "My daughter thinks that if she wants to turn this matter back, she has to come forward with her second sister and brother-in-law and sue the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion to the Criminal Department. ”

Master He was lowering his head and drinking tea from his teacup, when he heard the words, he choked on a mouthful of water and kept coughing. He put down the teacup in his hand again, pointed to He Ningxin and asked, "You...... You...... You repeat? ”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly bent over the small offering table, wiped the tea with a handkerchief for Master He on the other side of the table, and said angrily to He Ningxin: "Xin'er is really a blockbuster. - Look at how scared your father. This is absolutely impossible, if we sue the Criminal Department, our He family will lose all face. Do you still want to get married, do you want your father to be an official, and do we still have to be shameless in our He family?! "Mrs. Xu is a businessman, and she pays the most attention to harmony and wealth. For the lawsuit of the Shangguan Mansion, it is basically a matter of hiding if you can. Problems that can be solved with silver are absolutely unwilling to go to court.

He Ningxin was also busy coming over to help Master He clean up the tea stalks on his body, and he was not angry when he heard Mrs. Xu's anger, and said with a smile: "Why does my mother think that our He family has a face now, and the face is all there?" ”

Mrs. Xu was choked by He Ningxin's words. Also, the He family is now, only their own family members are locked in the house to deceive themselves, thinking that if they recite "I didn't hear" and "I didn't hear anything" in their ears a hundred times every day, they can act as if nothing happened. But when I went out and saw the strange eyes of some unknown people, Mrs. Xu was well cultivated, and sometimes she was so angry that her liver hurt.

The tea on Master He's body was finally cleaned up, and the three of them were busy, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared.

"Even if you want to sue, why do you want to sue the Marquis of Ningyuan? What does this matter have to do with the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion? Do you have tangible evidence? "Master He didn't understand a little, and he also had a headache. Mrs. Xu had mentioned to him that the three families had the most powerful rumors, but there was no name of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. - Besides, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion is the queen's mother's house, if you want to use the Marquis Ningyuan's Mansion as a raft, you really have to weigh how many catties and taels you have.
