Chapter 392: The Old Grudge of the Master
After returning from Wen's homeland, Sanniang was always worried about Xuan Shao. In addition, the days are getting hotter, and the appetite is not as cold as the weather, so I lost a lot of weight as Sanniang wanted.
The maids were in a hurry, and Bai Guo said that the meat that had been raised for a winter had fallen like this, leaving Sanniang speechless for a long time.
Sanniang can only comfort herself, there is no bad news coming, then there must be nothing. She tried to make herself think on the bright side, in order not to think crankily and divert her attention, Sanniang began to make herself curious about the past of Mrs. Wang and the Lian family.
At that time, when she eavesdropped in Wang Zheng's study, Sanniang was curious, and even the words "love and kill each other" appeared in her mind. But then I thought about the age gap between the two and vetoed it again.
is also curious about this matter, in addition to Sanniang, there is also Wang Zheng. Therefore, in some ways, Sanniang and Wang Zheng are really a pair of aunts and nephews with similar interests.
So a few days after the eavesdropping incident, when Sanniang and Wang Zheng attended the birthday banquet of the Duchess of Zhenguo together, the two got together to gossip.
Seeing that Wang Zheng mysteriously pulled himself aside, Sanniang naturally knew that Wang Zheng had something to say to herself.
"Eh, do you remember what your uncle said last time that he had an old grudge with the fourth aunt?" found a verandah with few people, and muttered quietly while enjoying the view of the evening garden with Sanniang.
Today, the princess of Zhuangjun also came, and the old princess has been living in seclusion since returning to Beijing, and she does not participate in various upper-class social gatherings or banquets in Beijing, and is usually attended by the princess of the county when she receives a post. Many times, Sanniang is also in attendance.
However, the elders all got together to chat and play cards, and there was less restraint on the younger generations. Anyway, there are maids and wives with them, and nothing big will happen.
Sanniang's gaze swept over the county lord of Huilan, who was whispering to the county lord of Hui'an in the garden, turned to Wang Zheng's face, raised her eyebrows and said, "What, you know?" ”
Wang Zheng was a little proud: "That's nature, who am I!" ”
Sanniang nodded suddenly and agreed: "Yes, I forgot your name is Bao Inquire." ”
"Wang Ke! You're not too big or too small! Wang Zheng secretly pinched Sanniang's arm and scolded softly.
Sanniang glanced at Wang Zheng aggrievedly: "But." Auntie, you don't have either. ”
Wang Zheng was so angry that he deliberately didn't turn his head and didn't speak. I want Sanniang to be curious.
Sanniang couldn't help but smile and gently tugged at Wang Zheng's sleeve, thinking that she was begging for mercy. Wang Zheng held back for a while, and finally felt that it was uncomfortable to hold the words in his heart, so he reluctantly opened his mouth.
"Well, seeing that you want to know so much, I'll tell you."
Sanniang couldn't help but chuckle, Wang Zheng glared at her, and she immediately smiled. It's just that the corners of his mouth can't help but overflow with a smile.
"I went to ask an old lady who is in the house for the elderly. When I was younger, this grandmother took care of me, so I asked her and she told me. Wang Zheng said the source of the news, "It's just." This grandmother is old, and there are many things she can't remember. I talked to her for days before I could roughly sort out the news. ”
Can "......" be praised as a thirst for knowledge? Sanniang thought speechlessly.
Unable to hear Sanniang's belly slander, Wang Zheng said: "I heard that when the fourth aunt first married into the Wang family in the past few years, she was not as powerful as she is now, but compared to ordinary brides, her temperament is too upright. Once it was my grandmother's birthday party, and the fourth aunt also came to celebrate her birthday, and I happened to meet my uncle who came back from outside. ”
Wang Zheng coughed lightly when he said this, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle doesn't know where he came back from, covered in mud, and still holding a fishing rod in his hand, but there is a dead laipi toad hanging from the pole." The fourth aunt and the other uncle in the side room were startled, and it happened that the uncle in the side room was still pregnant, so scared that she almost dropped the fetus, but fortunately she escaped with a good foundation. The fourth aunt was very angry, and in public, she asked her uncle to go to her grandfather and grandmother and kneel in front of him to admit her mistake in public. At this time, my father was reciting an essay he had written to the guests...... The uncle was stubborn, and he refused to bow his head and admit his mistakes, and in the end, it was a senior ancestor who played a round before he gave up. However, on the second day, there was talk in the city comparing his uncle with his father. ”
Sanniang suddenly realized...... It turned out that Wang Hong was compared with Wang Xian, who was a good boy pacesetter, as a negative teaching material, because of Lian's initiator. I heard that although Mrs. Wang was also stubborn when she was young, she was not without scruples and did not study. Maybe later, no matter what good things Wang Xian did, the people of Qingcheng County thought of him in the worst way, so the old lady Wang simply fell to the end.
So in a vicious circle, Wang Xian has become the standard for bad children in the entire Qingcheng County, and even now some people use Mrs. Wang to teach their children and grandchildren.
However, things have developed like this, although the Lian family is responsible, but the most fundamental problem still appears in the old lady Wang herself. Would the old lady Wang hate the Lian family for so many years for this matter? Looking at the tone of the old lady Wang when he mentioned the Lian family that day, it was like having a deep hatred in the sea of blood that did not share the sky.
Seeing that Sanniang was a little suspicious in her eyes, Wang Zheng sold Guan Zi and said: "Naturally, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. It's just a small holiday, and it's okay to say it's an unpleasant beginning. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zheng paused, and then sighed: "Even when I heard it, I felt that the fourth aunt was a little too much." Do you know that my uncle once had an Aunt Dong? It's the second brother's aunt. ”
This also involves Aunt Dong? Sanniang nodded: "I know, I heard my grandfather mention it last time in your house." ”
Wang Zheng lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this Aunt Dong is not only good-looking, but also likes to raise birds like her uncle. Therefore, the relationship with the uncle was very good, and later the aunt said that Aunt Dong poisoned her, but in the end, because of the grandmother's intervention, it was proved that Aunt Dong was innocent. Originally, this matter was settled, but the aunt went to the fourth aunt and said that the uncle spoiled the concubine and killed his wife...... I can't remember what happened after that, but presumably Aunt Dong finally left the Wang family and the fourth aunt had nothing to do with it. I heard that in order to let her uncle put his mind on his studies, she ordered people to let go of all the birds raised by his uncle, and there were two birds that my uncle liked very much, because they were reluctant to leave, and finally their necks were choked off in the scramble......"
Sanniang was speechless when she heard this, this Lian clan is really ......
If it is said that Mrs. Wang hated the Lian family for Aunt Dong's affairs, she was still a little suspicious. However, if the Lian family had ever committed such an extreme behavior, with the old lady Wang's love of birds like his life, he would definitely hate the Lian family for the rest of his life.
However, according to Lian's temperament, she must not know that Mrs. Wang hates him to the bone. Because in her opinion, everything she does is for the good of the Wang family and the old lady Wang. But she went too far.
After listening to the old grudge between Mrs. Wang and the Lian family, Sanniang suddenly had some sympathy for Mrs. Wang. Speaking of which, the old lady Wang is not bad, he just has such a hobby that is different from ordinary people, and regards fame as dung. It's just that such a person makes Lian unaccustomed to it, and he is bent on turning him around. And then it didn't work, probably because I thought that Mrs. Wang was hopeless.
The two of them were talking here, but three people from the garden came this way. Wang Zheng and Sanniang immediately stopped the topic just now, and turned to talk about other inconsequential things.
Looking up, the three people were the county lord of Hui'an, the county lord of Huilan, and ...... Erniang.
Sanniang and Wang Zheng glanced at each other and remained silent.
“…… Then I really want to congratulate you Shen Mansion, I really didn't expect Shen Feng to ...... Well, it's Shen Guiren who is blessed. There are so many new beauties in the harem, but she still comes out on top. The county lord of Huilan smiled at Erniang, his attitude was excellent, as if the two had been close friends for many years.
When Sanniang heard this, she secretly thought to herself, what did she mean...... Shen Fengjiao is pregnant?
I only heard the county lord of Huilan say again: "The queen really values Ah Qiong, we haven't heard of this big happy event, and the queen mother told you." Now Shen ...... Niangniang's edict for the throne has been prepared, and I think I will be able to hear the good news tomorrow. I just don't know if it will be a little prince or a little princess when the time comes. ”
Erniang interrupted with a smile: "Naturally, it's the little prince." I also went to the palace today to visit the queen mother, and I happened to meet the queen mother and asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse of Shen Guiren, so I heard the good news, so I came a little late. ”
Several people had already walked four or five steps away from Sanniang and Wang Zheng, and Sanniang and Wang Zheng stepped forward to greet them.
"A few of you just said Shen Guiren...... Bun in the oven? Wang Zheng asked with a smile.
The county lord of Whelan rolled his eyes and tilted his face to the side.
Erniang nodded with a smile, and said softly: "Exactly, it was confirmed not long ago." ”
"Then congratulations to Shen Niangniang and the queen mother." The queen recruited Shen Fengjiao into the palace before the draft, and now that Shen Fengjiao is pregnant, this child is naturally a bargaining chip in the queen's hands.
Erniang thanked the queen for it.
Sanniang looked at Erniang casually, and saw that although she was smiling on her face, her expression was a little haggard, and her face was not very good.
Now that Wang Xian's succession to Wang Song has become a foregone conclusion, it will be difficult for Erniang and Shen Wei to make trouble through this matter.
Sanniang is actually quite sad for Erniang.
After getting married, she turned around and calculated the people of her mother's family, what good does this do to her? She thinks that relying on Shen Wei alone will be smooth sailing in the future? As for Shen Wei, Sanniang has not yet figured out this person. (To be continued)
