Chapter Eighty-Nine: Something Happened in the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion
Yu Jin nodded and agreed, "Then let's do Leng Hui and Xi Nu first, anyway, after the marriage, you will come over during the day, the four small courtyards are ready-made, and each of you will be given five hundred taels of silver to buy a dowry." Leng Hui and Xi Nu will start preparing for marriage after the New Year, and you will get married in March. “
"Miss, you are in such a hurry to marry us. Why? Leng Hui finally couldn't help but ask.
Yu Jin's face instantly turned red and she didn't speak, Xi Nu knew Yu Jin best, she giggled and raised her hand to speak: "I know the reason, haven't you found out?" The old master taught us a lot of things, but she didn't mention how to get along with husband and wife, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law after marriage. What a pity! Gong Sanran is an orphan, I don't have a mother-in-law, and I don't have any other relatives. Leng Hui is miserable, you have in-laws and younger siblings, Huawu is a big family, it is estimated that the young lady will learn from you. “
Leng Hui said angrily: "Didn't you listen to Miss, Miss won't let me marry out and be angry, our yard is next to each other, and I don't live with his parents, if he doesn't agree, I won't marry." Leng Hui quickly accepted the marriage arrangement.
Yu Jin smiled and listened to their bickering, and sighed in her heart that the woman was really not left. It is normal for women to want to marry and become wives when they reach the age, not to mention that they choose the man they like, none of them feel embarrassed, and they all talk about marriage very generously.
The next day, in addition to taking away a large bag of steamed buns, Fang Ji also had a bag of crispy and crispy walnut kernels. Yu Jin didn't see Bai Zhao sending the bun back, and asked strangely: "It's so cold, where did Bai Zhao go?"
Xi Nu smiled mysteriously, "It's definitely going to meet Fang Ji." “
"What? Meeting Fang Ji, what did she and Fang Ji have to say, and when did they get together. Doesn't Bai Zhao like Yan Qi? When did it change. Yu Jin was extremely surprised, thinking that it was too incredible that Bai Zhao would like Fang Ji.
Bai Zhao walked in with a smile and said, "Miss, when did I say that I liked Yan Qi, because you always thought I liked him."
Yu Jin couldn't understand, Bai Zhao was cheerful and lively, how could he choose Fang Ji who had a gloomy face all day long, not to mention that Fang Ji was so stupid that she didn't turn around, she was a little curious and asked: "How could you choose Fang Ji, he... So... Honest. “
Bai Zhao replied very calmly, "I chose him because he was stupid and stupid enough, he can't bend a single tendon, I know what he thinks, I can catch it." “
Yu Jin still couldn't understand, she asked in confusion: "But I think Yan Qi is more compatible with you, you have known Yan Qi for a long time, why haven't you been in love for a long time?"
Bai Zhao restrained his smile and explained: "Because Yan Qi has already had someone in his heart, that person is not me." Bai Zhao sighed secretly, but quickly laughed with relief.
It seems that Bai Zhao should have thought about Yan Qi, and found that Yan Qi had another love in his heart, and he couldn't let go immediately, a very smart and decisive woman. Yu Jin wondered in her heart, Yan Qi wouldn't like one of the three of them! Could it be that Yan Yi and Yan Qi both like Ah Xiu, the three of them returned together, it seems that there is such a possibility, and things are difficult to do...
"Miss, something happened to the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion. I met Xing Yin outside the gate of the courtyard just now, and the old man and the eldest young master had already rushed to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. The fourth and fifth masters each owed the gambling house 17,000 taels of silver, and the gambling house collected the accounts at the end of the year, and the old marquis knew about it, and he was already so angry that he fell unconscious. The Marquis of Dingyuan came to ask Doctor Zhuge to see a doctor, and the old man knew the news. Leng Hui went to the office to find the steward to get the sprinkler and sweeping tools, and when she met the anxious Xing Yin, she learned the news of the accident in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Xi Nu asked nervously, "Miss, did Concubine Lian do this?"
"It's not her own hand, it should have nothing to do with her." Ah Xiu affirmed.
Xi Nu calmly analyzed: "The two masters should have been designed, otherwise there will be no accident sooner, no accident later, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days.
After thinking about it, Yu Jin calmly ordered: "Leng Hui, if you run again, I'm afraid it will be a disaster." If Concubine Lian made a move, how could she just want to divide the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle, and ask if there was anything wrong with the eldest son of the world. “
Leng Hui promised to go out, and Bai Zhao took the initiative to go out to guard the door.
"Miss, what do you mean by that?" Ah Xiu was puzzled.
Yu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "My grandfather drove out my father because of 15,000 taels of silver, and my two uncles have more silver than my father, will they stay at home?" This is Concubine Lian giving her grandfather a problem, the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle are concubines who don't have great skills, and they rely on the Hou Mansion to shelter their lives, they are not like their father, who has been working as an official outside and has the ability to live independently. How could my grandfather be willing to drive them away in the New Year, I'm afraid that if they don't get rid of them, what will they live on, and my grandfather will be sad because of this. If you want to make your grandfather more sad and more hit, that is, let the future heir of the Hou Mansion have an accident, the prince is an honest and decent gentleman, I am afraid that he will be deceived..."
"What else can we do?" Xinu asked.
"Investigate who did it, inform Xing Yin to put on makeup and go to the eldest cousin, and ask the eldest cousin to help investigate."
"Yes, miss." Xinu was ordered to go out.
Yujin was very worried that her grandfather couldn't stand the blow, and it seemed that it was impossible to celebrate the New Year in peace.
Leng Hui returned quickly, her face was very ugly and she replied to the report: "Miss, come to report vigorously, there is a woman who is pregnant and secretly looking for the prince to be discovered, the prince believes that the child is his and is responsible, insisting on letting the woman enter the door, and she is having trouble with the Hou Ye." Blocking the door and asking for the repayment of gambling debts is a matter that came later, because it involves the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the subordinate who came to ask Zhuge Divine Doctor to see him was embarrassed to say this, and he was sent by the eldest young master to inform you after he heard about it. “
Yu Jin sneered, and said angrily: "My good second cousin, I'm afraid that he will cling to the morality of a gentleman and refuse to bear the woman who is pregnant with her child, and now whoever tells him that he was deceived and designed, he will not believe it." It's a pity that none of the people I can use are around..."
"Miss, I'll change into men's clothes to check." Leng Hui opened her mouth to ask.
"No, we have to quit completely, we can't go out in men's clothes anymore, we have to get used to life in the backyard." Yujin was firmly opposed.
Yu Jin sat trapped in the hall, feeling that things were tricky, and no matter how much she had to plan to get out, it would be in vain.
Xi Nu came back, and said with a happy face: "Xing Yin has already gone out to find the eldest cousin young master, I wish the young master to bring Fang Ji over, let me bring a message to the young lady, if you have anything to do with him, he will wait in the outer courtyard hall."
Yu Jin showed a satisfied smile on his face, thought about it and shouted: "Bai Zhao, you go and tell Major General Zhu to go home and report to his father to restrain his subordinates and prevent his father's subordinates from being used by people with intentions to do stupid things." I wish the major general to go to Shangjie and stay at home all day, beware of being impeached by the imperial history. I asked him to do three things, the first was to find out who Liang and Wei were who went to Chu to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne. The second thing is to enter the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to find Brother Zhuge and ask Brother Zhuge to tell my eldest uncle that my grandparents should live in the hospital for treatment and recuperation. The third thing is to tell my father and brother, don't get involved in the affairs of the fourth and fifth uncles, especially not to be kind enough to take in the fourth and fifth uncles, because our family is no longer from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. “
Bai Zhao agreed to go out, and Xi Nu asked puzzledly: "Will Miss guess wrong, it is too high to see Concubine Lian's ability." She was frustrated as soon as she entered the palace, it was the time when the idea was to stabilize her position, it has only been five months, she has no foreign aid, can she design the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion so quickly? “
Yu Jin said: "It's not that I look up, it's that I look down on her." It was precisely because of her embarrassing situation that I thought that there was a queen and Concubine Mei in the palace, and she would not stand up so quickly, so I was careless. She is good at layout, and she is even better at killing people with a knife, and her beauty and talent are weapons. “
Xinu seemed to hear the sound of war drums, and was very excited and eager to try, "Miss, what are you going to do?" “
"Naturally, she is to govern her body in the way of others, she dares to design my Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, I will calculate the heart and soul of the old general Gongsun of the Protector General's Mansion, this matter will not be done until the next year. Now the top priority is to find out the woman's origin, who instructed her to design the second cousin, and the background of the person who lured the fourth and fifth uncles to gamble. Zhu Shao General and Fang Ji learned the tricks of dealing with gentlemen, and they were too loyal when dealing with villains. Leng Hui went to inform Dali, cats have cat paths, rats have rat ways, and Dali's people have dealt with three and nine streams, and let him investigate. Wait, the second cousin Wu Yan and cousin Wu Lie can also do this, they have met a lot of gentlemen, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries. “
Xi Nu's eyes brightened, "Miss, did you guess who helped Concubine Lian do it?" “
Yu Jin said angrily: "You think I can pinch the race immortal." My grandfather and uncle must have asked the fourth and fifth uncles in detail about this matter, but they probably didn't find any clues, and my grandfather felt that he was angry. With the ability of the Marquis of Dingyuan, he didn't find it beforehand, and he couldn't find any clues afterwards, who would have the ability to wipe it so clean? Concubine Lian had never seen anyone before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she fell into the water and was rescued by King He, who was the only foreign man who had close contact with Concubine Lian. “
Xi Nu groaned and said: "I heard rumors that he is kind and generous, indifferent to fame and fortune, and is a famous virtuous king, he never gets involved in fights, and he does not have too close personal relations with ministers, could it be him?"
"That's just the appearance, there are a few simple characters born in the imperial family, who are really as kind and harmless as they appear, and they can't survive at all. Maybe he really doesn't want to fight for the throne, but with the addition of the variable of beauty, will he change his mind. In short, as long as He Wang is involved in the design, things will be tricky. “
Xi Nu and Yu Jin have been in contact for the longest time, and have been the most allocated by the old master, she is worthy of Yu Jin's most powerful assistant, and she has long been accustomed to thinking about the worst in case of trouble, and working hard for the good, she reminded after thinking about it: "Miss, did you miss the palace lady?"
Yu Jin's eyes nodded and praised: "Xi Nu reminded me correctly, Concubine Lian can familiarize herself with the situation in the palace so quickly, which proves that there are Wei spies in the palace, and there are no spies to provide information, even if Concubine Lian has the ability to pass the sky, she can't do things in a foreign country." The palace has always had the most complex factional struggles, and women are more ruthless than men, because she has no scruples, and she will come up with any tricks. “
