Chapter 232 means

"The Chen family wants to exchange plums with us and go back?" Ming Fei looked at Gong Yuanhe in surprise. (Vertex Hand Hit)

Gong Yuanhe frowned and said, "Cui Min asked people to hand over the words." It is said that it was recently involved in a case several years ago, when a person surnamed Rao was promoted from the Wupin Salt Class and committed the crime of corruption, and the silver involved amounted to 500,000 taels of silver, and was sentenced to death, and the whole family was not an official slave, and Meizi was his daughter. Now that someone has brought up the old case again, Chen Shenzheng seems to have something to do with this matter, and asked me to go, just to get another clever maid to replace her back, maybe it will be useful. ”

Ming Fei clearly remembered the resentful look when Meizi mentioned that her father had embezzled 500,000 taels of silver from a small promotion of the Wupin Salt Class. She has almost concluded that Meizi's "stumbling and falling into the river" this time must be inseparable from the revival of the old facts of this case. It's just that I don't know what method Meizi used to find Cui Min and the others, and how to impress those people.

"I didn't mention to them whether she ran away, I only said that I would report it below, she fell into the river, searched for three days and two nights and couldn't find it, and I have reported to the government for the record, and it is determined that she is dead." Gong Yuanhe sighed slightly, "Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with her or not, but the Chen family took care of her so much at the beginning and didn't keep an eye on her, the two families will not have a blood feud, at most they will be a little entangled." Don't worry, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, assuming that the Chen family really did something sorry for her family, what should be returned has to be returned, if not, naturally don't worry. ”

Ming Fei was silent for a moment and said: "I always thought that she wanted to run, but she didn't want to accept her fate, she didn't want to be at the mercy of others, she didn't want to be a concubine, and she was an official slave for a lifetime, but I didn't expect her to take revenge." If there were too many involved in that case, I don't know if letting her go would hurt her or fulfill her. ”

Gong Yuanhe said: "You think too much. What she wants to do must have been planned a long time ago, even if you don't turn a blind eye and let her go, or if she falls into the hands of others, she will still think of ways to achieve her goal. There is an obsession in her heart, even if she dies because of this, she will feel happy. ”

This is in line with Meizi's character and temper, Ming Fei sighed, and wrote a letter to Chen in detail about what happened, still only mentioning that Meizi was dead, and nothing else. No matter what happens in the future, she can only treat Meizi as if she is dead, and she has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't know anything about it.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Guo family really came to propose marriage to Gong Yanbi, on the one hand, the original partner had been dead for many years, and there was no one to take care of it at home, and on the other hand, they were anxious to get married.

Ming Fei was invited to participate in the whole process, the second lady Gong never showed up, most of the people who had the idea were Gong Zhongsu, and they needed to talk to the female dependents, so the Guo family looked for Ming Fei, and Ming Fei asked Gong Zhongsu what he meant, and Aunt Zhu and Aunt Li took care of all the other trivial matters.

The two sides talked very happily, if there is any regret, it is that the other party did not give much dowry, but he hoped that Gong Yanbi would bring more dowry. Aunt Zhu muttered a little, thinking that the other party's family background was too thin, but she thought that the other party was an official, and it didn't matter if she was poor, if Gong Yanbi could really bring more money, she could still stand up and be a man, and it would be a good thing to become a family and an official's wife. So he tried his best to pick up money from Gong Zhongsu and persuaded Gong Zhongsu to give him more dowry.

Gong Zhongsu hesitated for a long time, calculated and calculated, considered left and right, and always felt that Gong Yanbi was just a concubine, and there were four children below, so he didn't dare to spend lavishly, so he counted the five hundred taels of silver given by Ming Fei and Gong Yuanhe, and promised two thousand taels. The Guo family is a little too little, but because he has a small dowry, he has no face to be picky. Aunt Zhu was very angry, thinking of the two hundred taels of silver that was scavenged by Second Mrs. Gong, she grinded her teeth with hatred, and secretly kept cursing Gong Jingqi for not being able to marry or marrying poorly.

When the Guo family's dowry entered the door, the marriage date was certain, Gong Zhongsu felt that nothing was wrong, so he responded to the cry of Gong Yuanzhi and Gong Jingqi, and promised to ask the second wife Gong to see a doctor, but she was still not allowed to go out, so she could only be locked in the peace hall to watch the aftermath.

Second Mrs. Gong went crazy over that, and she had already understood, and she didn't dare to fight with Gong Zhongsu anymore, so she obediently took medicine all day long, and pretended to get some Taoist books with pure hearts and few desires to read, as if she was going to believe, and proposed that she was lonely in her illness, and asked Aunt Sun Daogu to preach to her.

Aunt Zhu secretly knocked on the side and said to Gong Zhongsu that the matter of ghosts and gods was actually unbelievable, last time she ate Sun Daogu's talisman water, but she fell ill, and Second Mrs. Gong's illness became worse and worse every time, it can be seen that it is useless, or don't waste that money.

Aunt Li also persuaded Gong Zhongsu behind her back, saying that the second Mrs. Gong is also the biological mother of the two sons-in-law and the two young ladies, and she is also the husband and wife he has been married for decades. Even if she is wrong, she can't ignore it. The doctor and the Tao came together, and did their best to know the destiny of heaven, and did not ask the future ladies to mention this matter to blame their father, nor did they let outsiders know about it, saying that he was ruthless.

Gong Zhongsu thought about it, this is the case. He can ignore this wife and live or die with her, but he can't ignore his son and daughter. Gong Yuanhe already had a dislike with him, and if he had a dislike with these two sisters-in-law, it would be boring. agreed to Mrs. Gong's request and sent someone to pick up Aunt Sun Daogu. Since then, Sun Daogu has often corresponded with Mrs. Gong, and Mrs. Gong has not been sick for a long time, nor has she come out of the Anxian Hall, and she is well-behaved.

Soon in the winter moon, Cai Guangting wrote that the academy where Gong Yuanzhi studied had been found, and the spring of the next year would begin, so let Gong Yuanzhi go directly to him. At the same time, the Shen family finally relented and asked the Gong family to propose marriage, but asked Gong Yuanzhi to guarantee that he would not be allowed to take concubines, unless Miss Shen had not given birth to a son at the age of forty, which was another matter.

Gong Zhongsu was very annoyed, feeling that the Shen family was too big and bullying, and he wanted to refuse this family matter, and he was reluctant to find an ordinary family, but he was reluctant to Miss Shen's reputation and talent. After all, the eldest daughter-in-law is not as good as other daughters-in-law, and she is the key person to support the family, and her character and ability are the key.

was hesitating, but Gong Yuanzhi said that he was willing, not only did he not look down on Miss Shen because the Shen family made such a statement, but he also felt that she was a brave woman with a lot of promise and responsibility. Second Mrs. Gong was obedient this time, and she didn't dare to make trouble in front of Gong Zhongsu, so she only called Gong Yuanzhi behind her back, and persuaded him bitterly, she dared to put forward conditions before she entered the door, she was so jealous, what was the use of this kind of tough woman? Don't disturb your home.

It's okay if she doesn't persuade her, the more she persuades Gong Yuanzhi, the more she gets into trouble with her, threatening that Miss Shen will not marry, forcing Gong Zhongsu to hurry up and propose, so that he can go to Beijing to study with peace of mind. Gong Zhongsu thought about it again and again, agreed to the request of the Shen family, and sent someone to propose a kiss in a beautiful manner, and the second lady of Gong only knew about the family matter, and she was so angry that she didn't dare to make a fuss, but she just sulked secretly, thinking that it was caused by Gong Yuanhe and Ming Fei not seeing Gong Yuan's good rank, and deliberately instigating.

During this period of time, Gong Jingqi especially likes to go out with Ming Fei, and refuses to accompany her, she is locked up in Anxian Hall and can't get out, Gong Zhongsu refuses to see her, Aunt Li often goes, but she is an elm pimple, asking a sentence and answering a sentence, asking what to answer, which makes her extremely uncomfortable, and she has to tell Sun Daogu all her thoughts, and from time to time she is jealous and hates Gong Yanbi's good life.

Sun Daogu persuaded her: "Since the second son and the third lady both think that their brother and sister-in-law are good and like to associate with them, why do you want to stop them?" Look at your second miss, isn't it because of their light that you can get this good relationship? You don't like the Shen family, but I've heard that some people are worried about it. The competition between these two rooms, not only the son, but also the daughter-in-law, the most important thing is that the daughter-in-law can hold up the door, otherwise you will hurt her again, she will be scarce.
