Aunt Wu was stunned.

I didn't say anything, why was Mrs. Wu's expression so heavy?

After thinking about it, Lord Wu opened the curtain and entered.

Mrs. Wu led everyone forward to salute Lord Wu.

Lord Wu glanced at Aunt Wu, who was following Mrs. Wu with a nervous expression, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wu's personal mother immediately led the people serving in the house to retreat, and also thoughtfully turned off the fan.

Mrs. Wu personally made a cup of tea for Lord Wu, and pointed to the brocade on the side of the kang for Aunt Wu to sit down, and then said: "I heard Aunt Wu just now that when Sister Zhen of Yu Ge's hometown gave a 100-day ceremony, the Hou family of Xiping gave Sister Zhen a piece of red gold and 100 treasures......

Before she could speak, Lord Wu's face had changed slightly.

The so-called treasure is made of various colored gemstones, red gold and treasures, and you don't need to ask to know that this thing is worth a lot. And Liangzhou, the town of Xiping Houshi, is a meritorious family guarding the nine sides, and the Yu family's eight poles can't be beaten together, but with Sister Zhen's 100-day gift to the Yu family with such a generous gift, there must be a request from the Yu family, and what is asked for is not an ordinary thing.

"How do you know?" He looked at Aunt Wu with a serious expression.

There were a lot of people who gave gifts that day, but it was the red gold treasure that was particularly eye-catching, and the grandmother liked it very much, and several times when they went to greet the grandmother, the grandmother was watching, so Miss Chen also said behind her back that the grandmother was shallow-eyed, which made the grandmother unhappy for a while, so when Mrs. Wu asked just now, she only mentioned it.

I didn't expect to attract Lord Wu.

Looking at Lord Wu's appearance, this matter seems to be very serious.

When she was a child, she also studied with her father for two years, and she still understands the truth of "no indecency, no indecency". It is no longer appropriate to talk about the Yu family behind your back...... If the Yu family gets into trouble because of this, wouldn't it be her sin.

What's more, this matter also involves ......

Thinking about it like this, Aunt Wu's expression showed a little hesitation.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Lord Wu.

After all, he entered the door of Yu's house. At a critical time, my heart is still towards the Yu family.

She was slightly displeased.

Lord Wu understood what his wife meant. Think about it. simply sank his face and said, "You have to distinguish between priorities and priorities." How the Yu family treats you, you should know very well in your heart. If it weren't for the Wu family standing behind you, how would the Yu family treat you. You should know that it is, too. Only when the Wu family is prosperous can you stand firm in the Yu family. Go straight. You must know that Yu Ge is always a Beijing official, and Xiping Hou is a foreign general. Beijing officials colluded with foreign generals. That's going to wipe out the family! Speaking of this, his tone softened, and said, "Even if this is the case, you are a concubine, as long as I come forward to intercede for you." It doesn't even bother you......"

Where had Aunt Wu seen such a scene, and she was immediately flustered. Said helplessly: "It's not collusion, the Yu family didn't collude with Xipinghou, it's Xipinghou who has something to ask Yu Ge Lao!" ”

Sometimes it's soft, sometimes it's a slap in the head to have an effect!

Mrs. Wu glanced at her husband with admiration, and said to the side: "You still said that it was not collusion. gave a heavy gift to ask Yu Ge to do something, isn't this collusion? Why don't you tell your uncle what Xipinghou wants? Your uncle will be in charge of you when the time comes! ”

Aunt Wu pursed her lips and did not speak, but her face was as pale as paper.

Lord Wu said softly: "You are a woman in the house, how do you know the danger in the temple." Sometimes it looks like a good thing, but in fact, there is a bad heart behind it; Sometimes it looks like a bad thing, but as long as you take precautions, it's a good thing......"

Aunt Wu listened and looked up in amazement: "Take precautions in advance...... It's a good thing......"

Mrs. Wu saw that Aunt Wu's tone was somewhat relaxed, and hurriedly said, "Yes! How do we know the depth of the things in the temple? Just say it. Your surname is Wu, who in Kyoto doesn't know that you are from our family, will we still harm you? ”

Aunt Wu was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said in a low voice: "I heard the maids say that Xiping Hou offended Lord Zhao Ling Zhao, and now he is having a very hard time, so I beg Yu Ge to come forward and want to make peace with Lord Zhao." ”

Why did you get involved with Xipinghou again?

The Wu couple couldn't help but look at each other.

"Isn't that collusion?" Seeing this, Aunt Wu asked anxiously, "It's just to ask Elder Yu Ge to help me maneuver through this." ”

"Then, did Elder Yu Ge agree?" Mrs. Wu asked, with a little caution in her tone, "Why did Xiping Marquis have a grudge against Zhao Ling?" ”

Aunt Wu shook her head: "I don't know. However, the Xiping Hou family's face was ugly when they came out of Yu Ge's old study. ”

No matter how much there is, I'm afraid I can't ask anything.

Mrs. Wu pondered and glanced at Lord Wu.

Lord Wu nodded slightly.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "It's that we misunderstood Yu Ge's old age." It's okay, it's okay. It's not too early, didn't you just say you want to go back early? I'll let moms send you, right? Don't mention today's matter to Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu, you can also help me thank her. He muttered, "I also specially asked you to bring some small clothes for the four maids." ”

Aunt Wu also had something in her heart, got up and quit Mrs. Wu, and was accompanied by a mother beside Mrs. Wu out of the weeping flower door.

"Mom, please go back first!" Aunt Wu rewarded the mother with a dozen copper coins, "I'll just go out by myself - the carriage is waiting outside the door." ”

The mother was also polite, smiled and thanked her, and broke up with Aunt Wu at the Weeping Flower Gate.

Aunt Wu hurriedly instructed Lianxin: "You go first, go and knock on the door of Mrs. Zhao's house, I want to see Mrs. Zhao." ”

Her voice was so hurried that Lianxin was startled.

Aunt Wu urged sharply: "Don't go yet!" ”

It was the first time that Lianxin saw Aunt Wu lose her temper, and she was stunned for a moment, and then ran to the door of Zhao's house.

The sound of the hammer door made Yuechuan frown, and he answered the loud "coming" and went to open the door.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl barged in: "Is Mrs. Zhao here?" We are from Yu Ge's old mansion, and we have something to ask to see Mrs. Zhao? After speaking, he shouted "Aunt Wu" behind him.

Then a young woman in the form of a woman strode in.

"Is Mrs. Zhao here? I have something important to look for her. The woman's face was full of anxiety, "Trouble this little brother to go and help me out." As he spoke, he grabbed a copper coin and stuffed it into Yuechuan's hand, while looking behind him nervously. It was as if some wicked man was chasing her from behind.

Zheng San and the others were all shocked and came out to watch.

I saw that it was Aunt Wu. Zheng Sanniang stepped forward to look at her. Qi said: "What are you doing here?" ”

Aunt Wu also recognized Zheng Sanniang, and grabbed Zheng Sanniang's hand like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw: "Mom, please help me quickly, I have something important......

Fu Tingyun is taking Lantern Xiao, Yo You and Brother Xi to make shortbread in the kitchen. Hearing the movement, he instructed Pearl: "You go and see?" ”

Pearl left in response and quickly turned back: "Aunt of the Yu family." It's the one from the Wu family, who said that he had something urgent to see you, but Zheng Sanniang couldn't stop him? ”

Aunt Wu should have the consent of Mrs. Yu or Fan when she goes out. And there are also women and servants of the Yu family to serve. She knew that there was a gap between the two families and risked being punished by Mrs. Yu or the Fan family to see her, I am afraid that there is really something very important.

"Please ask Aunt Wu to come to the south room hall to talk." Fu Tingyun instructed Pearl to wash his hands.

Pearl quickly passed on the word, and Zheng Sanniang invited Aunt Wu to sit down in the hall of the south room and served tea and snacks.

Fu Tingyun changed her clothes and came over.

Aunt Wu immediately stood up: "Mrs. Zhao, it is inconvenient for me to stay forever. I just came out of Wu's house. When Xiping Hou took advantage of Sister Zhen'er's 100-day gift, he gave Sister Zhen a red gold treasure as a congratulatory gift. When Mrs. Wu asked, I said it unintentionally...... The Xiping Hou family wanted to invite Yu Ge to be a middle-aged man and make peace with Lord Zhao...... Lord Wu also knows. Lord Wu also said that Yu Ge Lao was colluding with foreign ministers and would be raided...... I don't know if it's useful to you, but I'm here to tell you. ”

The words were reversed, but Fu Tingyun understood what she wanted to express.

"Thank you, Aunt Wu," she said sincerely, "and you bothered to come and tell me." As he spoke, there was a solemnity between his eyebrows, "Xiping Hou wants to talk to our family about peace, this is the first time I have heard of it, and I have to ask our family to be specific." ”

When Aunt Wu heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "Then I'll go—the Yu family's carriage is still waiting for me outside the door." She said as she stood up.

Fu Tingyun didn't dare to keep her, so she had to say: "If you have anything in the future, let the maid come and report to me, don't run over like this." There was a hint of concern in his tone.

When Aunt Wu heard this, she smiled with the corners of her mouth curled.

That smile, like a good spring in May, was bright and bright, making her whole person radiant.

Fu Tingyun was a little surprised.

Aunt Wu had bent her knees and bowed slightly, and left the hall quickly.

The coachman of the Yu family was already impatient with serving people like Aunt Wu, and he was even more dissatisfied when he saw that Aunt Wu suddenly left herself and went to the Zhao family next door. Therefore, as soon as Aunt Wu got into the carriage, he whipped the horse and drove out of Shijia Hutong. When Mrs. Wu heard the news and rushed out, the Yu family's carriage had long since disappeared.

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but stomp on her feet and said in confusion: "When will she be able to speak in front of Mrs. Zhao?" ”

Lord Wu only had the matter of Xipinghou in his heart, and he absentmindedly confessed, "You can just go and inquire", and then went to the study and told Hao Jianfeng what happened.

Hao Jianfeng was stunned when he heard this.

Master Wu said, "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you to inquire about this matter...... Liangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division. ”

Hao Jianfeng nodded again and again, said "I know", couldn't sit still anymore, got up and said goodbye.

When he returned home, he immediately called the housekeeper and asked him to help him inquire about Xipinghou.

The housekeeper agreed, and then said with a smile: "Lord Cen is here, do you see it or not?" ”

Hao Jianfeng's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Lord Cen was originally Huayin's parent official, after he was promoted to the servant of the ministry, Lord Cen was very respectful to him, not only the New Year's festival was rich, but also the birthday of his parents, his birthday, and even the birthday of his wife and concubine were not forgotten.

He must have come to the Ministry of Officials to report and thank him in person.

"Invite him to the study to talk." Hao Jianfeng commanded the housekeeper loudly.
