Chapter 220: Not Yet
Mrs. Wu's face changed slightly when she heard this.
The Zhao family only said that the older generation did not know the severity, and bullied Zhao Ling as a side branch, and the widowed mother had no one to support him, and wanted to take away his family property. This kind of thing can be done in every big family. Now that the Zhao family is willing to learn about this public case in a low voice, and has shown enough "sincerity" to invite her to come forward, she is also happy to be a peacemaker. But things have come to the point where the elders kneel down to the juniors······ I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Even if the Zhao family has "sincerity", this "sincerity" will hurt itself like a hot potato in his hand, so it is not cost-effective.
She immediately had the intention of retreating, and she was also a little resentful because of the Zhao family's intentional concealment.
It's just that she just got someone else's favor, and she immediately turned her face, and she still can't do such a thing. Therefore, there is no need to socialize on the surface. The people who trained the Zhao family: "Who is Zhao Ling now?" is the emperor's confidant and favorite minister, and a young general who has just won the battle! Their house is not a vegetable garden gate, you can enter if you want, and you can go out if you want? Even if I go to Zhao's house, I have to find a suitable opportunity to take you eight wives with me? I don't know who came up with this idea! Then his tone was slight, and he said, "Don't worry, it will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and I will go over to give the Double Ninth Festival gift according to the ceremony, and then I will probe Mrs. Zhao's tone." ”
The man hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu." And he said, "I wonder what kind of gift you want to give?" For the sake of our Zhao family's affairs, we can't let you pay for your own money. I don't know if five hundred taels of silver is enough? As he spoke, he explained with a smile, "You also know that we have small faces, if what you say is wrong, you can bear with me and don't laugh at me." ”
She went to Zhao's house, at most ten taels of silver...... Even if he asked Fu Tingyun for twenty taels of silver, it would be up to the end.
Mrs. Wu pondered in her heart, feeling that this person from the Zhao family was very sensible, and the previous resentment disappeared a lot, her face was slightly gloomy, and she said vaguely: "I'll just think about it." ”
In other words, he promised to accept the five hundred taels of silver from the Zhao family.
The people of the Zhao family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She is not afraid that Mrs. Wu will open her mouth, but she is afraid that the silver will not be sent out, and things will not go well. When Zhao Ling exerts his strength, it will not be Mrs. Wu's price.
She asked Mrs. Wu with a somewhat flattering smile: "Do you think you want to find a way to follow the path of Lord Zhao?" ”
Mrs. Wu couldn't hide her astonishment: "Didn't you follow the path of Lord Zhao?" ”
She also thought that the people of the Zhao family had hit a wall with Zhao Ling, so they found a way to find Fu Tingyun.
"Gone!" The Zhao family said with a little embarrassment, "Or maybe we didn't find the right person, Lord Zhao didn't even pay attention to it." "Flattering Mrs. Wu again," Mrs. still had only one hand to the sky, and immediately talked to Mrs. Zhao. ”
A nameless fire suddenly rose in Mrs. Wu's heart.
How much did this Zhao family hide from her!
She couldn't help but raise her voice: "What the hell is going on?" According to what you said, Lord Zhao was still young when he left home, but there are many people with the same name and surname, and your Zhao family has always walked around in Jiangnan, how did you recognize Lord Zhao? How did you know about Lord Zhao's family? At the end of the words, his expression was a little sharp.
When the people of the Zhao family saw Mrs. Wu angry, they couldn't help but feel uneasy like a drum, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I really didn't hide it from Mrs. The eighth master of our family knew about Lord Zhao, all because of the shopkeeper of Chase Ye San, who lost his words after drinking. Afterwards, the eighth master of our family asked, but Ye San's shopkeeper pushed it all away. The eighth master of our family found this more and more strange, and sent people to inquire about it for more than half a year before he dared to be sure. Therefore, although he knew that Ye San's shopkeeper was friendly with Lord Zhao, he was able to sit on the big shopkeeper of the Chase Kyoto branch because Zhao Ling helped him introduce Qin Feiyu to Lord Qin, but it was not good for him to ask Ye San's shopkeeper to come forward......"
Mrs. Wu felt that the people of the Zhao family were reasonable, but she faintly felt that there was something wrong in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, so she had to reveal it and not mention it, and said something nonchalant, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao has been busy with the things that the little uncle has decided in the past two days, and when the two days are over, I will immediately visit Mrs. Zhao" and other words to appease the people of the Zhao family.
Although the people of the Zhao family felt Mrs. Wu's coldness, they couldn't find anyone, and now that they had entrusted Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu would definitely let go if they changed their ways. Not to mention the investment in the early stage, the people who looked for it again may not have the energy of Mrs. Wu, so she had to pinch her nose and admit it, and bowed and said a lot of begging words.
Mrs. Wu annoyed her and didn't know how to look at her, so she frowned and said, "Since you have inquired about the situation of the Zhao family, you should also know about the affairs of the Zhao family, and Mrs. Zhao can be the master of the house, right?" If Mrs. Zhao can't get through here, don't expect to move Lord Zhao. ”
Speaking of which, the people of the Zhao family had no choice but to apologize and get up and say goodbye.
When he went out, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and when he returned to Zhao Baye, his face was slightly unsightly.
Zhao Baye didn't know that this was a hot face and cold ass drudgery, comforted the man a few words, couldn't help but think about Mrs. Wu's words, pondered for a long time, and instructed the woman: "In this case, you might as well inquire about Mrs. Zhao!" Instead of spending money on Mrs. Wu like this, it is better to smash it all on Mrs. Zhao. If you don't have the opportunity to contact for a while, ask Mrs. Zhao's preferences, and on the day of the visit, you will know how to deal with it. ”
The woman took the command and went away.
Mrs. Wu sent away the people of the Zhao family, but they sat on the big kang near the window in a daze, until Lord Wu came back from the office, and she suddenly restrained her mind to help Lord Wu change clothes.
Lord Wu looked at her a little distracted, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you?" Soulless? ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Mrs. Wu didn't want Lord Wu to know, and responded with a smile, but when she looked up and saw Lord Wu's concerned gaze, she hesitated again.
The old husband and wife, where can Mrs. Wu hide that little thing from Lord Wu?
Seeing this, Lord Wu said, "Which family are you helping with?" ”
Mrs. Wu couldn't help laughing, thought about it, and told Lord Wu everything about the peace that the Zhao family had entrusted her to make peace with Zhao Ling.
Lord Wu was surprised after hearing this, and then his expression sank, and he complained in a low voice: "You are so confused! Why didn't you talk to me about it, and just rolled it in! ”
Mrs. Wu's heart was not steady, but when she heard Lord Wu say this, her face changed greatly, and her voice couldn't help but become anxious: "What's wrong?" But what's wrong? ”
Lord Wu said in a condensed voice: "Think about it, what is the place of the Chase number?" How many ups and downs can Ye San's shopkeeper have, what kind of character is that? If he would lose his words when he was drunk, how could the owner of the Odori dare to hand over the Kyoto branch to him to take care of? It's just about Zhao Ling······"
The words were not spoken, and Mrs. Wu's face was as white as paper.
"Master," she tugged on Lord Wu's sleeve tightly, "You mean, this, this is all intentional by the third shopkeeper of Ye San?" As she spoke, she frowned, "But, what's the benefit of Ye San's shopkeeper doing this?" ”
"Stupid!" Lord Wu couldn't help but say, "Without Zhao Ling's signal, does the shopkeeper of Ye San dare to tell the people of the Zhao family about this?" Now the people of the Zhao family know about Zhao Ling, and you have also seen it, the people of the Zhao family are afraid of his revenge, and they would rather stick the silver upside down than settle the grievances with him. Zhao Ling quietly let the Zhao family spit out all the property that occupied his family back then, and he could make a lot of money······ It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, even if he goes to the yamen to fight a lawsuit, there is no such thing as him, which not only benefits but also preserves his reputation! ”
Mrs. Wu was dumbfounded: "Then, what should I do?" ”
"What else can I do?" Lord Wu was also a little annoyed, "I told you a long time ago, let you leave these messy things alone, you didn't listen, now it's okay, Zhao Ling has pinched the handle······" As he spoke, he thought that Zhao Ling had quietly surrounded the people of the Zhao family, and his body suddenly felt a little cold. "No, I have to go and talk to Lord Qin......" He stood up and instructed Mrs. Wu, "Hurry up and change my clothes!" There was a rare panic in his expression.
Mrs. Wu looked frightened, only to feel that her hands and feet were a little disobedient, so she panicked and called the maid to come in to help Mrs. Wu change her clothes, and circled around Lord Wu: "It should have nothing to do with us, right?" I'm just going to pass on a word? I'm also kind-hearted..."
Lord Wu glared at Mrs. Wu and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to say a word!" The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, he moved to Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, the emperor always talked about it, and also said that he was a southerner and a northerner, obviously he didn't want people to know about his family affairs, you stabbed into the hornet's nest, and you didn't know how to shout here! ”
Mrs. Wu was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she sat crookedly on the brocade on the side, tears streaming down: "How is this good? How is this good? In a panic, he stood up with the floor cover of the moon cave door next to him, "I, I'm going to find Mrs. Zhao?" You don't know, Lord Zhao is so respectful and loving to Mrs. Zhao, not only does he never touch those women in the army, but even those big businessmen who do business on the nine sides send stunning beauties, and he doesn't accept them at all······ I went to tell Mrs. Zhao that as long as Mrs. Zhao agreed to come forward, Lord Zhao would definitely not be guilty of the past! ”
Anyway, now dead horses are used as live horse doctors, and whichever way can be walked can be taken!
"Then you go!" Master Wu said, got dressed and went out.
Mrs. Wu was in good spirits, freshened up and went to Zhao's house.
Fu Tingyun was talking to Yuwei about Asen's marriage, and when she heard that Mrs. Wu was visiting, she was a little tired of her, but she still instructed Pearl: "Invite her to the hall to talk!" ”
Pearl went away and quickly invited Mrs. Wu in.
Fu Tingyun stepped forward with a smile, and before she could say a word, Mrs. Wu had already grabbed Fu Tingyun's hand with tears: "Good sister, you have to save me this time!" ”
She froze for a moment.
Mrs. Wu had already crackled and grasped what had happened, and said: "······ I really want to help Lord Zhao resolve this public case......" She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "If it weren't for our master, I wouldn't have known that I had caused such a big disaster...... Our master also felt that we had done something wrong, so he went to ask Lord Qin for help...... I knew that Lord Zhao valued my sister the most, so I came to my sister's ......"
