Chapter 298: Backfired
Chapter 298 backfired
The person who went to Liang's house to inquire about the news did not return. But he waited for the purple yarn to come.
She saluted Shen Muqing respectfully. Said seriously: "Grandma, you must have heard of the farce on West Street the afternoon before yesterday!" That's why my eldest wife sent me. ”
Shen Muqing didn't want to say more to her, so he said "um" noncommittally.
Zisha said with a smiling face: "Grandma, our eldest lady said that she will not repay her with virtue and tell her about the silver you lent her." ”
Wang Wenhui reacted so quickly...... However, if Liang Bogong asked her where the money came from, she said that she wouldn't say it?
Shen Muqing knew Wang Wenhui's personality very well, and did not take her promise to heart, and said with a smile: "It's hard for your eldest wife to think thoughtfully, saying that I know." You go back and thank your eldest lady on my behalf. ”
Zisha laughed, as if she could see her mood, and said, "When I came, the eldest lady also ordered, saying that the Liang family is too hurtful, and you have to leave a way back for yourself and your children." So rest assured, she knows what to expect. ”
Shen Muqing blindly responded to the "good", and smiled and asked Ying Fan to send the purple yarn out of the door. The person who went to Liang's house to inquire about the news turned back.
"What happened to the Liang family? Why did the third wife of their family go to West Street to scold the street? ”
The person sent was a steward under Pang Debao, surnamed Liao.
"Grandma, this matter has to be explained in detail." Liao Guan said, "The Liang family has been getting worse day by day since the death of General Liang, not only because of the defeat in the army, but also because of the income of Jimintang. Therefore, after the collapse of Jimin Hall, the Liang family could only enter and exit, and life became more and more difficult. Speaking of this, the person who came showed a different color, "The second master of the Liang family has partnered with someone to do a business outside......"
Shen Muqing knew about this matter, but he didn't know what kind of business Liang Shuxin was doing. couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of business does Second Master Liang do?" ”
Steward Liao lowered his eyelids: "Second Master Liang has a part in Baihua Restaurant, and he has eight thousand taels of silver every year. ”
"Baihua Restaurant?" Shen Muqing was dumbfounded.
Steward Liao nodded: "I heard that Princess Fuhua and the Feng family have a part in Baihua Restaurant......
Could it be that the business of Baihua Restaurant is so good - doing business in Kyoto, without a background, no matter how strong your funds are and how strong your skills are, it is useless.
"Eight thousand taels of silver a year," Shen Muqing calculated the account for the Liang family in his heart, "Then you can also maintain normal expenses!" ”
Steward Liao smiled: "Money is a bottomless pit, how can there be a time to be satisfied." What's more, the Liang family also has an old lady who has been sick in bed for many years, and the annual cost of soup and medicine is around four or five thousand taels of silver. The eight thousand taels of silver were barely enough for the expenses in the old lady's house. ”
Shen Muqing nodded.
"Therefore, after Mrs. Liang took charge, some people were dispersed, a few yards were closed, and the cost of each room was reduced." Steward Liao smiled, "Fortunately, the wives of the second and third rooms of the Liang family have their own marriages. Although the money in the public middle school is less, they each use their own, and they are all right from the beginning. ”
Jiang Shuangrui is not the kind of mean person, and Mrs. Liang San, although she has only one side relationship with her, she can also see that she is a very strong person, she has no money in the public school, and she uses her mother's marriage to be more justified and unrestrained, maybe, she likes this situation very much.
Shen Muqing thought to himself in his heart, and heard Steward Liao say: "After a long time, I will suffer for a long time." Mrs. Hou is not at home, an aunt can't be the master of the house, and the three children are just the time to grow up. If others don't have heartache, Mrs. Hou should also have heartache. From time to time, people bring money back to the children. How can there be an impermeable wall in this world, and it was soon known by the third wife of the Liang family. At first, it wasn't much. Someday. Mrs. Liang San wanted to eat hemp duck soup, and the maids bought it and let it be made in the kitchen, and when they saw the high-quality blood swallows steamed in the kitchen, they asked casually, and the kitchen replied, saying that it was for the eldest young master of the big house, and the things were brought by Mrs. Hou from outside. That's it, but that day in the kitchen when it was time to eat, the duck soup was not stewed, and the maids went to the kitchen to urge. In the kitchen, it was said that several supplements were made for Dafang in the morning, and there was no one to help make hemp duck soup for a while, so it was late. Let's wait a little longer.
But those maids didn't know how to do things, so they replied as they were.
Mrs. Liang San was originally a hot-tempered person, it is said that the maid in the room was sold for something wrong, and when she was killed or disabled, even the Tongfang who had served by Liang Sanye's side for several years did not give face, and when she was unhappy, she would whip her ...... Such a grumpy man, when he heard this, immediately jumped up, first smashed the kitchen, and then went to West Street with a few habitual mothers around him......"
Shen Muqing was stunned when he heard this: "The Tongfang who has served around Liang Sanye for several years does not give face...... Is it Liang Sanye's cousin? ”
Steward Liao cautiously looked at Shen Muqing's expression, and said in a low voice: "There is only one room next to Third Master Liang, and that is the cousin surnamed Feng. ”
No matter how bad Liang Jimin is, he is sincere to Feng Wanqing......
Shen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. asked Steward Liao: "Then what happened to the Liang family now?" ”
Steward Liao originally worked in the Xiao family's shop, and Shen Muqing used to be the third daughter-in-law of the Liang family, he knew it. Originally, he regretted that he shouldn't have said more about the Liang family's three rooms, but now that Shen Muqing didn't ask, he was naturally happy not to mention it. Hurriedly said: "Mrs. Liang summoned the Hou Ye back and asked him to reconcile with the Wang family immediately." Otherwise, don't enter the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. ”
Feng is a bit stupid to do this. However, this is also her usual style.
Shen Muqing didn't feel the surprise of the eldest lady.
"Master Hou refused, and when he left Mrs. Tai's door, he took the three sons and aunts to live in Tongyuansheng." Steward Liao said, "Second Master Liang and Third Master Liang are now in Tongyuansheng, what about persuading Master Hou to go back?" ”
Shen Muqing was puzzled when he heard it.
Is it really afraid that Liang Jimin's reputation will be damaged, so the Liang family tolerates a daughter-in-law like Xia in every possible way?
She couldn't figure it out.
When I went to send Shi Jingshu, I couldn't help but ask about her.
"You don't know about this!" Shi Jingshu was very surprised when she heard her ask, "That Xia family was making a fuss about reconciliation and divorce just a few days after getting married." The Liang family is also desperate. But the Xia family proposed that it was okay to reconcile, not only all the Xia family's dowries had to be taken away, but the Liang family also had to compensate the Xia family for 5,000 taels of silver. He also said that the Liang family gave the Shen family 3,000 taels, and they lived farther than the Shen family, and the extra 2,000 taels than the Shen family should be regarded as their travel expenses. It seems to say that the Liang family used part of the Xia family's dowry, and there was no way to meet the Xia family's request in a short time, so the matter was delayed...... How could you not know? It spread throughout Kyoto a few years ago. ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help but be embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "I was in Jiangnan at that time, where did I know about Kyoto." Maybe when I go back to Kyoto later, it's nothing new, and everyone knows about my relationship with the Liang family, so no one specifically mentioned it in front of me! ”
"It could be so!" Shi Jingshu said with a smile. "Anyway, since the Xia family entered the door, there have been many strange things in the Liang family, and it is not bad for this one or two. We don't have time to keep an eye on them every day. ”
"Yes!" Shen Muqing smiled, but couldn't help but ask Shi Jingshu, "I heard from Steward Liao that when the Xia family lost his temper, he also used a whip to whip Liang Jimin's room ......."
Shi Jingshu interrupted Shen Muqing's words and said very directly: "You don't have to beat around the bush, the room that Steward Liao said is Feng Wanqing." ”
Sure enough, it was her.
Although Shen Muqing didn't have a good impression of her, he heard that she was treated like this by the Xia family. There is still a bit of an exclamation.
"Alright, alright, don't worry about her." Shi Jingshu was unimpressed with Shen Muqing's attitude, and said with a smile, "Ren Xiang and I went back to Nanjing and temporarily lived in Yanzilou, which is not far from the Qinhuai River. Nanjing is not the same as Kyoto. When the time comes, we will go boating on the Qinhuai River. ”
Shen Muqing nodded again and again: "Okay!" I'll wait for your business to settle down, and then I'll have a post. ”
"Definitely, definitely." Maybe it was because she thought of Old Lady Shi's illness, although Shi Jingshu had a smile on her face, there was a trace of worry in her eyes.
A few days after sending Shi Jingshu and Ren Xiang, it was rumored in Beijing that Yushi had impeached Liang Bogong.
It is said that the emperor was very angry and called Liang Bogong to be severely reprimanded. Let him handle the affairs of the family well, otherwise, he will not be qualified to be this Dingyuan Marquis.
The words of reprimanding Liang Bogong soon spread among the powerful circles in Beijing. But the strange thing is that "if the affairs of the family are not handled well, you are not qualified to be the Marquis of Dingyuan" is not concerned by too many people, but "...... The emperor said that the Liang family's reputation for several generations is bad because Liang Yuan's descendants are not distinguished...... This is the fundamental chaos. The words were passed on by many people.
When Shen Muqing heard the news, it happened that Xiao Sa bought the house that the original Chen servant talked about - that place was as Mrs. Chen said, it was very well repaired. Imitation of the Jiangnan building, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, delicate and small.
"We're going to be staying in West Hill this summer, right?" Shen Muqing discussed Xiao Sa, "The air in Kyoto is too tense. It's better to stay away. ”
Xiao Sa hesitated: "You have to be powdered!" ”
"It's quite big over there." Shen Muqing thought that Mrs. Chen came to visit her home twice in three days, and she felt annoyed, "Let's live in the back garden first, and let people powder the outer courtyard and the main house." In the fall, let the back garden be tidied up. ”
"It's fine." Xiao Sa made up his mind, "Invite the master and the big house together." I believe that we don't need to say it, the master also understands the meaning. ”
Shen Muqing nodded, and immediately wrote a post for people to take to the petrochemical bridge.
Shen Zhen really didn't say a word, set a date to go to Xishan, and then made an appointment with the eldest wife. The family went to Xishan in a big way.
