Chapter 214: Goodbye Mingxin
The case of Gu Dafu's murder of Mrs. He caused an uproar in Penglai County, and until Chen Ying and they left, the rumors were still rampant.
None of this is about her, though.
He Juncheng's family stayed in Penglai County, just as Gu Dafu hoped, although he would never see his sweetheart again, but this goal was strangely achieved by him.
Li Heng was very sorry for this, and once wrote to why Juncheng begged for love, but was rejected.
Filial piety is the first of all kinds, and it must not be easily violated, and in the final analysis, He Juncheng is also responsible for this matter. With his position as the master of the nine grades, it is impossible to take a concubine, and he also has two sons under his knees, which does not meet the legal provisions of "those who are over forty years old and have no children can take concubines", but what is his intention in leaving a beautiful maid by his side, leaving it to the youth of the people and keeping the empty boudoir alone?
If he said that he had no selfish intentions, Chen Ying would never believe it.
There are many ways to protect a person, but He Juncheng chose the most selfish one. In Chen Ying's view, Li Heng's request was rejected, which is really justified.
Without the He family's chariots and horses, Li Heng's convoy on this trip was still extremely large, and there were more than 20 Pei Jiajun alone, so that their safety on the road was guaranteed to the greatest extent, in addition, the Han family also sent a caravan represented by Guo Wan, which fell in a later position to accompany the team.
Guo Wan went to Jinan this time to open up sales for "flower and herb essential oil".
As soon as this novel skin care product came on the market, it immediately became the favorite thing of the ladies in Dengzhou, and the sales rose rapidly, Han Duanli was very happy, so he struck while the iron was hot, and ordered Guo Wan to go to Jinan, which is richer than Dengzhou Mansion, to promote this thing, naturally, by the way, it was also to get closer to the Li family, which was also tacitly approved by Li Heng.
With so many convoys guarded, Chen Ying had the illusion that the next journey would be very peaceful.
However, when they stopped at the Huangxian Post Station, she saw a familiar figure walking down from the Han family's carriage.
"Isn't that Mingxin?" Li Xi on the side opened her mouth wide in surprise, if it weren't for her good upbringing, she was afraid that she would be screaming at this moment.
Chen Ying was also taken aback.
How could Mingxin get out of the Han family's carriage?
What's going on?
And what is even more surprising is that after Mingxin got out of the car, he turned around and helped someone down from the car, and that person was Guo Wan.
Looking at Guo Wan's peerless face, Chen Ying felt an inexplicable weirdness.
Such a turning point was really eye-popping, and everyone in the Li family was dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" After being stunned for a long time, Ni Fang asked Li on the side in a very low voice.
How could the Li family know the details, and when he heard this, he just shook his head blankly: "I don't know either." Why did this girl go to Han's house again? ”
Since the murder of the He family, Li Heng issued another ban, except for going to the He family to mourn once, the rest of the days, the female dependents stayed at home until they left Penglai.
And when they were mourning, they clearly saw that Ming's mind and body were clothed in linen, helping the Huang family to receive visitors, and now in the blink of an eye, how does she seem to have become Guo Wan's maid?
When did this happen?
The appearance of Mingxin is tantamount to a boulder entering the water, which stirs up waves in everyone's hearts. If it weren't for the strict restraint of the Ni family and the Li family, those mothers-in-law and mothers would be able to gather together and discuss enthusiastically.
Fortunately, the mystery was soon revealed, and the person who revealed the mystery was Guo Wan.
"It's just a coincidence." Sitting in Ni's carriage, Guo Wan's opening remarks were understated, there was no difference on her face, and she didn't forget to invite Ni and Li to drink tea when she spoke: "The two ladies don't give up, allow me to get in the car and talk, this tea is new to our shop, please try it." ”
In the sound of wheels, Guo Wan's words were still soft, as if a breeze was blowing on her face: "A few days ago, my aunt went to Xiaopenglai to offer incense, but she happened to meet the cow mother of the He family, and she told her aunt that since the death of Mrs. He, Lord He was very angry and immediately forced Mrs. He to send Mingxin away. Only this is the clear mind...... There was nowhere to go, and Mrs. He was very troubled by this matter, and she couldn't sleep all night, and her hair was gray. When the cow's mother said the back, she revealed her meaning, and wanted to ask her aunt for a favor, so she begged Mingxin. My aunt is soft-hearted, and it's not a big deal, but she's just a girl, so she took Mingxin's body deed. ”
At this point, Guo Wan sighed and said: "After Mingxin passed the house, he was arranged by his aunt in the Zhuangzi outside the city, I only learned yesterday that my aunt bought a maid, and it happened that there was a lack of people around me, so I simply transferred Mingxin over, but the decision on this matter was hasty, and I didn't inform the two ladies in advance, it was mine." As she spoke, she took the pot and poured tea, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the two ladies, I'll add tea to the two of you." ”
At this moment, there are no juniors such as Chen Ying in the carriage, only the Li family, the Ni family and Guo Wan, hearing this at this time, Ni Shi covered his lips with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Grandma Qiu Si is too careful." ”
Although she said this, she glanced at Li Shi without a trace, and the expressions of both of them were a little meaningful.
Guo Wan said this easily, but the truth must not be so. It's just that people put their stature so low, and as she said, it's just a maid in the end, it's really not a big deal, and they don't care about such trivial things.
Thinking like this, Ni Shi thought of the Huang family again, and sighed in his heart, and sighed: "Speaking of which, Mrs. He is really pitiful, there is such a thing at home, seeing that the ascent is imminent, but he was beaten back by someone with a stick, and he is about to die." I heard in a trance that her two sons were sick again, and the two girls were also frightened, and they had to drink decoction every day, which was really eventful. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li also sighed: "It's not that I have many mouths, then Lord He is too indecisive, if he has this determination, why would he end up with his life?" ”
Both of them are eldest women, and they are in the same position as Huang, so they are extremely sympathetic to Huang, and at the same time, they also feel that Mingxin has gained a big advantage.
Originally, there were a lot of places to go to such a beautiful maid, but unfortunately, Mingxin's reputation has been damaged to the root, not only to save the life of Mrs. He, but also to take He Juncheng's career, which serious person do you say dare to ask her? Even if she is sold to the Qinglou, people will think she is old.
I'm afraid that only the place where there is a lot of abuse, or the most pickled and inferior people, will have the courage to provoke such a "mourning star". However, if you really want to send her to those places, will the Huang family still be a person in the future? Where does the He family's face go?
