Chapter XXVI: Assassination
Because of something in their hearts, Jiang Qizheng and Qiu Yulan didn't know how to eat the whole wedding banquet, and when they returned to the Guogong Mansion, it was already midnight, so naturally they couldn't bother Mrs. Zhuang anymore.
It wasn't until the next day that the two of them went to Mrs. Zhuang to invite An Jian to the banquet, and then took the opportunity to ask: "What Miss Lu said yesterday is true or false?" β
Mrs. Zhuang frowned and said, "The Lu family? Where did the Lu family dare to touch the moldy head of the vine and the drunken like this? After saying this, he said, "The people in the drunken's backyard really didn't send it, but it's not that the drunken child is reluctant to give them up, but Man'er's own meaning." β
Qiu Yulan and Jiang Qizheng both felt incredible: "What do you mean? β
After so many years of handkerchiefs, the two of them really didn't see that Zhuang Man was so broad-minded!
"She said that before she entered the door, the drunken child cleaned up the backyard, although it was a tacit rule, and there were elders who came forward to not embarrass her, but those people have served the drunken child for many years, and they have no merit and hard work, so they just drove away, I am afraid that the drunken child will not say anything, and he will feel guilty in his heart, and he may save some gaps in the future!" Mrs. Zhuang took a sip of tea and said a little disappreciatively, "So it's better to wait for her to dispose of it after she passes the door...... I said, why bother? The elders came forward, and the drunken children couldn't blame Man'er! Besides, I also asked Zui'er, he used to be young and ignorant, but now he can't wait to send people away to live with Man'er! β
Qiu Lulan and Jiang Qizheng looked at each other, and only said after a while: "Maybe...... This one...... Man'er is sincere to her brother-in-law, so she takes into account her brother's thoughts? When they get acquainted and know each other's thoughts, it should be fine? "When did Zhuang Man awaken the virtuous attribute? I didn't notice it at all!
Mrs. Zhuang muttered: "Since she is so insistent, let her be the first one!" The eldest princess is a person who respects the rules, and she will not let people mess up the order of dignity and inferiority! β
As soon as she said this, Qiu Yulan felt that Zhuang Man was persuaded by her family to win the favor of the eldest princess in this way? After all, there are only a handful of mothers-in-law like Mrs. Zhuang who can't wait to pry their daughter-in-law to kill their concubines, and most of the mothers-in-law still like virtuous and forbearant daughters-in-law - such as Xiao Tao.
"But Man'er doesn't look like the kind of person who will deliberately please her mother-in-law!" Zhuang Man has Mrs. Zhuang's aunt to rely on, she herself is not as good as Xiao Zhuang's face, and she refuses to say her grievances after marriage, although the eldest princess Maode is the emperor's aunt, she is also quite jealous of this daughter-in-law, as long as Zhuang Man is not too much, how dare the eldest princess bully her?
Qiu Yulan thought about it for a while, couldn't figure it out, and decided to wait until she turned around to see Zhuang Man and ask her directly. Let go of this matter for the time being, and start discussing the incident of Miss Lu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Jiang Qizheng feel that the matter is very suspicious: "If the Zhenxi Army is really defeated, even if I am in Beijing, I may not be able to keep Chunjun!" Unless it's your father. β
Mrs. Zhuang said seriously: "But the northern Xinjiang side is inseparable from your father, but this matter is difficult to do!" Now I can only send a message to Shazhou, so that Chunjun Haosheng can pay attention, especially remember to protect that Mr. Ren! β
"That's what Mother said!" Qiu Yulan bowed, "My daughter-in-law will write a letter when she turns around!" β
Jiang Qizheng pondered for a while, and then proposed: "Or let the horse deliver this letter?" Just let the horse stay in Shazhou and give General Qiu a hand! β
"My nephew and niece are still young, how can I not have my father by my side to take care of and teach?" Qiu Yulan didn't need to look at Mrs. Zhuang's eyes and refused, "I understand my sister's kindness on behalf of my mother's brother, but my brother-in-law should stay in Beijing to accompany your mother and son-Fu'er is already three years old and has begun to remember people, and now he always regards me and Nineteen as parents, how can it be like this in the long run?" β
Of course, Jiang Qizheng was reluctant to separate from her husband, and the reason why she made this suggestion was also grateful to Qiu Jinglan - now that she was rejected by Qiu Yulan, she was secretly relieved in her heart, and was about to say something, Mrs. Zhuang muttered: "In this way, let's check again, what other people in the big house and the third room can go to the Zhenxi Army to get involved?" β
"As long as they don't have such a person in their hands, even if the Zhenxi Army is defeated, they can only stare dryly!" Before Mrs. Zhuang's words fell, Mother Chang, who was talking to them outside and guarding the door, came in with a strange face and said, "Madam, Madam Zhao in front of Mrs. Wen asks to see you!" β
Mrs. Zhuang only said that the Zhuang family married her daughter yesterday and sent her something today, so she said to her daughter and daughter-in-law: "When Mother Zhao leaves, let's talk about things!" β
So they stopped and discussed, and asked Mother Chang to bring Mother Zhao inβMother Zhao kowtowed to Mrs. Zhuang, but she didn't mention sending anything, but said with embarrassment: "Mrs. Gu, Hong Shan has always been an honest child who serves our wife." Mrs. also pointed out someone to her half a year ago, but she was married, and the housekeeper had no mother, so it dragged on! If Mrs. Gu remembers, she should know that Hong Shan's appearance is not the best, but her eyebrows and eyes are quite good! Now it'......"
Mrs. Zhuang didn't know what she wanted to say, Qiu Yulan and Jiang Qizheng were used to hearing such things, and when they looked at each other, Qiu Yulan coughed dryly, leaned slightly towards her mother-in-law, and reminded in a low voice: "Yesterday was a ...... Starling went to his uncle's house alone to say goodbye! β
She deliberately bit the word "one person", and Mrs. Zhuang suddenly understood, and couldn't help but be furious: "Go and call Dan'er and me!" β
In this case, the younger sister and the younger brother's daughter-in-law must be persuaded: "Mother, please stop being angry!" I think it was a good day for my cousin yesterday, and the starling was happy for her, and he drank too much for a while! β
Mother Zhao sighed at the bottom: "Didn't you drink too much?" Otherwise, in the past, the eighth prince had always been served by Hongshan, and nothing happened. "She said it, the maid is not very good-looking, at most it is not ugly, and it can't get into the eyes of Jiang Yadan, who has read all the flowers-the dealer didn't plan to stuff the maid for his nephew, so he let Hongshan serve him all the time.
Outcome...... It was a problem last night!
Now that the wood has been completed, the reason why Zhao's mother came over is because: "Originally, Mrs. thought that she would give Hongshan more money as a dowry and cover up this matter!" However, when the steward who was married to her found out, he begged his wife to point another maid, even if it was rough, as long as she was clean...... Although Madame felt that Hong Shan was wronged, since the steward didn't want her anymore, forcibly allowing her to go over would also hurt Hong Shan...... So after thinking about it, I had to come and tell Mrs. Gu! β
Mrs. Zhuang was persuaded by her daughter and daughter-in-law left and right, and she didn't want to lose her temper, so she had to ask angrily: "So what does sister-in-law mean?" Although Dan'er is my son, you also know that this thing is really a bastard! With him, it's not necessarily a good thing! What's more, Dan's daughter-in-law is not good these days, this will tell her this news, what if she is angry? β
Mother Zhao said cautiously: "Madame thinks, Hong Shan is now broken, and Xu people are always inferior." If the eighth prince can give her a name, then let the eighth prince let her out......"
A maid who has been played with is indeed quite different from a concubine of a high family, and the identity of Xu Ren is indeed not small. It can be seen that Mrs. Wen really likes that Hongshan, and she can't bear to be killed for life because of this.
However, although Mrs. Zhuang was unwilling to refute her sister-in-law's face, she still asked about Hong Shan's appearance again, and made sure that she would never be able to hook up with Jiang Yadan under normal circumstances, so she nodded: "But send it back in a few days, you also know about the little eighth daughter-in-law, and now go and tell her, it really makes her sad!" When she's well, I'll tell her slowly. β
Mother Zhao was also afraid that Hongshan would dislike Chu Yitong when she passed the door now, so she agreed: "The old slave will replace Hongshan and Mrs. Xie. Grace! β
β¦β¦ Although Mrs. Zhuang issued a gag order on this matter, she was not allowed to tell Chu Yitong before she finished sitting in Xiaoyuezi. But Chu Yitong still knows in the end, after all, there are also people in Huainan Wangfu who go to the dealer to drink happy wine, Hongshan, as Mrs. Wen's henchman, she was pulled into the room by Jiangya Danqiang, and several people in the dealer saw it, since Huainan Wangfu knew, how could he not come to tell Chu Yitong?
"Sister, you are relaxed, what is a mere maid?" The next day, the wife of the king of Huainan was ordered by her husband to come over to tell and comfort the sister-in-law, after retiring from everyone, only two sisters-in-law were left, the wife held Chu Yitong's hand, and persuaded her to open a little bit, "And I have asked about the maid, and there is no maid in our house who sweeps the courtyard!" If my uncle hadn't drunk too much, I'm afraid it would be an eyesore to wash his feet! Even if the dealer supported her and let her in, she would survive until death in this backyard! β
"And your mother-in-law hates this kind of thing the most, and she may not let her in the door!"
"Besides, how can this matter be the fault of the banker, if you are really angry, after entering the door, you wait for a few months, your mother-in-law has gone to northern Xinjiang, you are looking for a person to clean her up, even if the banker is your mother-in-law's maiden family, it is difficult to be able to cross your mother-in-law for a maid to teach you this nephew and daughter-in-law?"
The princess and wife talked for a long time, and finally saw that Chu Yitong's expression calmed down, so she said goodbye with confidence and went back to return to Chu Weixian.
She didn't know that when she left the yard with her front feet, the calm on Chu Yitong's face with her back feet was gone, replaced by deep hatred, picked up the jade Ruyi on the couch, slammed it to the ground, and said through gritted teeth: "Beast!! β
Jiang Yadan has done too many things like this, and Mrs. Zhuang thinks that the reason why the eldest son will let go in the past. Dang, because his parents are not around, no one really persuades him to be good, now that he is here, the eldest son will definitely not do bad things again - so this time Jiang Yadan is back in his old ways, and Mrs. Zhuang is the most angry!
The others, including Qiu Yulan and Jiang Qizheng and his wife, are all surprised.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. They didn't get along with Jiang Ya Dan for a day or two, and they never expected Jiang Ya Dan to really learn well. I was a little surprised that Jiang Yadan didn't survive until Mrs. Zhuang went to Northern Xinjiang and reoffended again-after all, Jiang Yadan's attitude towards his parents was very good.
The daughter, the youngest son, and the little daughter-in-law comforted her for two or three days in a row, but she still couldn't extinguish the anger in Mrs. Zhuang's heart, and punished Jiang Yadan for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, Mrs. Zhuang felt very guilty about Chu Yitong, and drew a large number of things from her private room as compensation-and was afraid that Qiu Yulan would feel unfair, so she asked Qu's mother to explain to her, and Qiu Yulan said with a smile: "Mother's things, the mother should be in charge of her own affairs, and I have also taken the benefits of my mother." Moreover, the eighth sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, and there should be more! β
After Mrs. Zhuang found out, she sighed to Chang's mother: "Daughters-in-law are all good, Shuang'er is good, daughters and sons-in-law don't have to worry about me, just this Dan'er really told me not to close my eyes when I die in the future!" β
Chang's mother scolded her and said, "Madame is still in her prime, how can she say such unlucky things?" Besides, the eighth prince has been raised by those who have broken hearts and livers in the big house for so many years, how can it be corrected in three or five days? That's where you need to be admonished all the time! β
"But I hope I can see him learn before I go to Northern Xinjiang this year!" Mrs. Zhuang was upset, "The husband didn't say it, why don't you want Dan'er to be more motivated, don't keep thinking about women?" But I hope that when I leave, I can bring him good news, and it will not be in vain for our husband and wife all these years. The bitter cold and loneliness I have endured! β
The tragedy is that Mrs. Zhuang not only failed to bring a good news to go, at the end of April and early May, the nobles in Beijing began to pack up and prepare to take a summer vacation, and there was a heavy news of almost bad news in Kui County: the eldest grandson of the fifth house, the eldest son of the fifth son Jiang Yawan, Jiang Jingzhan was assassinated, and the man in Kui County lost his great-grandson, and he was sick on the bed when he heard the news, and his life was in danger!
