Chapter Ninety-Four: Counterattack (II)

Zhao Xuanhuan led Brother Hong to the "Wuwei House" after the moonlight, and let the right-hand man around him guard outside, and Zhao Xuanhuan and Brother Hong went inside to talk. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Zhao Xuanhuan thought all the way, if Miss Tao Wu was still alive, what would be the situation now? In the past few years, his father has become more and more willing to listen to his advice, and his attitude towards him is not as tough as before, and he has gradually gained his own status in this family, and there will always be a world of his own in the future. He and Rong Hua's affair Brother Hong has become the only witness, today the two of them are gathered together, in the study that Rong Hua envisioned before, he is in a trance There is an illusion that life can be restarted, and the most precious relationship can be lost and regained.

The two men sat for a while, each with their own thoughts, but did not speak.

It was Zhao Xuanhuan who said first: "It's quiet here, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." He smiled slightly, and there was still a deep pain in the depths of his warm eyebrows.

Brother Hong wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start, he used to think that his sister was like this, but now that his sister has returned to him, this pain is naturally gone. Zhao Xuanhuan didn't know about his sister's return, if he knew, what would he think in his heart? My sister told me not to say it, Brother Hong looked at Zhao Xuanhuan twice, and he was also resentful when Zhao Xuanhuan married the eldest sister, but now that emotion has faded. When his sister first came back, he still thought about telling Zhao Xuanhuan one day to see how he faced his sister.

Brother Hong reached into his arms, took out the book that his sister handed him and handed it to Zhao Xuanhuan.

Zhao Xuanhuan stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw that it was a book of poetry, he was suddenly a little surprised, "I originally thought that this book was no longer there, but I didn't know that it was still with you." He carefully opened the Book of Poetry, which had been accompanied by his note for Brother Hong to send back and forth.

Now the book is well preserved, but it is not a person. A thought sprouted in my heart, if I still wrote a note and sandwiched it in the book, could I still bring it to the Yiren.

Zhao Xuanhuan was stunned, only to hear Brother Hong whisper: "You never doubted why my fifth sister suddenly fell ill and died?" ”

Zhao Xuanhuan's eyes flashed and looked at Brother Hong.

No matter who suddenly gets sick and dies, it will make people suspicious, not to mention that it was like that at that time, Rong Hua had no serious illness. He couldn't believe it at first glance, and only later accepted the reality.

Although he believed that Yiren had passed away, he always felt that there was something hidden here, and he had not heard the real situation from Shuhua's mouth over the years. Every time he listened, Shuhua said that Rong Hua was indeed suffering from a sudden illness, and invited Lang Zhong to come to see it at night, and he did not see any improvement after taking a decoction, and the next day he changed Lang Zhong and said that he was afraid that the disease would be contagious, so he found a courtyard outside to let Rong Hua recuperate.

Who knew it would be gone that day.

Shuhua is a person who is not good at lying, unless Shuhua doesn't know the secret in it.

He cautiously inquired about others, and his mother didn't even know about his affair with Rong Hua, let alone anything else. My father was also tight-lipped on his side, and once he was forced to ask him in a hurry, so he said: "Anyway, they are all married to the Tao family, but they are just the identity of concubines, whether it is our Zhao family or the Tao family, where can we use it to harm an innocent life?" Our Zhao family has no rights, the Tao family is a scholarly family, and it is impossible to do that kind of intolerable thing. ”

Over the years, he has been sending people to pay more attention to the situation of the Tao family, after all, the affairs of the inner house are difficult to hear, and there is nothing to gain over the years. Someone also suggested that he should dig up the bones of Miss Five, but he hesitated, first, for fear of being sad, and second, for fear of disturbing her purity.

Now that Brother Hong is talking about this, although Brother Hong is young, he is the Tao family after all, and he always knows more than him, Zhao Xuanhuan said: "What have you heard?" ”

Brother Hong said: "When the fifth sister was alive, she was very good with my second sister, and the second sister also knew about you and the fifth sister. ”

But this can't be said nonsense, Zhao Xuanhuan frowned, "Do you have a credential?" ”

Brother Hong said: "If I had any evidence, I would have pierced her a long time ago, so do I have to wait until today?" As he spoke, he told Zhao Xuanhuan about Ma Daopo. That Ma Daopo often goes to the second sister's room, those three aunts and six women like to do something in the mansion, if you have the heart to inquire, you will know, but unfortunately when I went to look for that Ma Daopo, she had already fled. She can even harm an eighth sister who has just entered the mansion, and the fact that I found out before that she harmed the fifth sister is not groundless. ”

Speaking of Ma Daopo, Zhao Xuanhuan remembered the matter of Qiuhe.

Brother Hong said again: "If you want to investigate these things, the eldest brother-in-law is much more convenient than me, and besides, Ma Daopo has also been to the house, and I don't know what she did." ”

"Now everyone says that if the eldest sister has three longs and two shorts, the second sister will marry the eldest brother-in-law and become a stepfamily, so I entered the house to say these things. Anyway, one day in the future, I will find out the death of my fifth sister clearly. But before that, if you really marry the person who hurt your sister, won't you regret it in the future? ”

Brother Hong said again: "I shouldn't have talked to you like this, but no one else cares about the matter of the fifth sister except you." I just think that if you have a heart, help me pay attention to it, if you don't have a heart, you should also think for yourself, people are married to wives and virtuous people, and you can't just ...... I always have to remind you. ”

Brother Hong stopped talking, but Zhao Xuanhuan was surprised that Brother Hong could say such a truth at a young age. Although there is no evidence, it clearly points out the suspicious points.

Even if Rong Hua's matter is to wronged the second miss, once Ma Daopo's matter is clear, a femme fatale like the second miss can't marry home.

What's more, Zhao Xuanhuan thought about it carefully, and the second lady Yaohua did have a suspicion of hinting to him in private. That night in Ronghua's courtyard, seeing the lights, Yaohua suddenly grabbed his sleeve, so he caused more misunderstandings.

Zhao Xuanhuan looked at Brother Hong carefully, after all, he was only an eleven-year-old boy, how could he notice so many details, "Brother Hong, have you discussed it with others before you came?" ”

Hearing this, Brother Hong's face suddenly froze, and he paused before saying, "Brother-in-law doesn't believe me?" Besides, who can I go to to discuss the matter of the fifth sister? What I said, my brother-in-law knew the truth as soon as he inquired, although Ma Daopo didn't know where to go, she used to go to a few houses to ask for peace......"

Zhao Xuanhuan nodded, "I know." ”

These people use nothing more than the same means, as long as they find out a little clue, they can draw inferences.

It's hard to talk about this topic for too long.

Zhao Xuanhuan changed his words, and naturally mentioned Brother Hong's studies, and he couldn't help but study it, Brother Hong could answer it fluently, Zhao Xuanhuan had a little praise, and Brother Hong's eyebrows gradually showed the child's heart, and he became proud.

Zhao Xuanhuan looked at it coldly, Brother Hong is indeed different, and most of the sorrow that can be seen on weekdays seems to have gone, what is the reason?

It was not early, Zhao Xuanhuan ordered someone to prepare the carriage and horses, and sent Brother Hong to the door, telling the coachman to be careful, and then returned to the house.

Sitting in the chair and thinking carefully, it would be inappropriate for him to inquire about the affairs of the inner mansion like this. needed to find a trustworthy person to help him investigate, and after thinking for a long time, he called the powerful Conde beside him. The Kong De family is on an errand in the inner house, because his own man follows the uncle, he also has a little face in the house, and his ears and eyes are also well-informed.

Zhao Xuanhuan said again: "Don't say that outsiders know." ”

Kong De's family was busy: "The slave and maid family can only live by the uncle, and the slave and maid dare not lose what the uncle explains." ”

Kong De's family left, and the little guy next to Zhao Xuanhuan said: "Uncle, the bed has been made in the study." ”

Zhao Xuanhuan hesitated for a moment, "Go and see if the big * milk has fallen on the bolt?" ”

The little guy was slightly stunned before he reacted and hurriedly ran out.

The little maid knocked on the door in Shuhua's yard and called everyone in the yard up, and everyone was busy for a while when they heard that the uncle was coming back to live.

Shuhua, who was lying on the bed and was drowsy, let the maid pray twice before she came to her senses, "Did you hear that the uncle is coming back?" ”

Miao Tong said: "Yes." ”

Shuhua's chaotic eyes finally had a slight light.

……

Brother Hong returned to the house and explained Shuhua's situation to the old lady and Mrs. in detail. took out the return gift from the Yicheng Marquis Mansion, one of which was specially instructed by Mrs. Cai to Rong Hua.

The old lady smiled and asked Rui Qing to send it to the ladies, and said to Brother Hong: "It's not too early, I have to go to Zongxue tomorrow, let's go down and rest early."

Brother Hong just retired.

The old lady said again: "According to what Brother Hong said, Shuhua's illness is cured. ”

The eldest lady nodded, "I heard that I changed Lang Zhong before, so I guess these doses of medicine were used." ”

The old lady took a sip of tea, "Ronghua's affairs are about to be handled, because there was Shuhua's example before, and the dowry is indispensable." ”

The eldest lady's face was different, "Rong Hua...... It can't be the same as Shuhua, Ronghua is ...... after all"

The old lady sank her face, "Didn't you already record Rong Hua in your name?" The Hou Mansion doesn't care anymore, what else do we have to talk about? Besides, when Shuhua married before, the Zhao family had not yet recovered the title, and Ronghua married the Hou Ye, which is logically better than Shuhua. ”

The eldest lady had nothing to say.

The old lady said: "Yanhua's marriage is also going to be done, just in time for you to feel uncomfortable and difficult for you." It happened that the second and third rooms didn't leave, so I asked the second and third daughters-in-law to come over to help. ”

There is a Liao family talking from the Wumuhou Mansion over there, so it is easier to do.

The eldest lady nodded.

The old lady said again: "After all, she is a person who wants to be a mother-in-law, and she must always be happy, how many families can get close to the Hou Mansion?" Everybody envies you. ”

The eldest lady jumped twice on her face and smiled reluctantly.

The next day, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second old lady led the Meng family to Nacai, and sent ten items according to custom, taking the meaning of perfection. The adults spoke in front, and the sisters went to talk in the Yanhua room.

Seventh Miss Xiuhua is already engaged, knowing that after the sixth sister's marriage is decided, she will go home with her parents to get married, and she can't help but feel a little melancholy, when she arrives at Yanhua, she sees Yanhua sitting on the chair being surrounded and talking, Yanhua smiled reluctantly with shyness, Xiuhua remembered what happened to her at that time, felt empathy, and hurriedly sat down.

The Meng family is the husband's family of the daughter-in-law and sister of the second old lady's long house, and the scholarly family who moved from the south, although the ancestors have not been any big officials, but they have also been out of Jinshi, let alone lifting people and showing talents.

I don't know who said it, "The Meng family is a descendant of Mencius, and the sixth brother-in-law has already taken the birth at a young age, and I heard that the rankings are also countable." ”

Advantech pursed his lips and smiled.

The brothers Tao Jingjiao and Tao Jinglian in the second room came back from the front, and everyone was busy asking, "How does the sixth brother-in-law look?" ”

Tao Jingjiao said: "I only took a sneak look, anyway, it's just a talent." ”

The ladies all laughed shyly.

Yanhua coped with two laughs, and then went to see Rong Hua, and the slightly high mood suddenly fell again, before she thought that Rong Hua had married the person surnamed Gu, who knew that the people from the Hou Mansion came to propose, although Wu Muhou was a cold-faced Hou Ye, the Xue family was always a noble family. And Rong Hua is also remembered in the name of the eldest wife, and she is a cut higher than her when she is born, and when Rong Hua marries someone and becomes Mrs. Hou, she will be even more out of reach.

Yanhua was talking in the house, and the old lady in the main room pulled the second old lady's daughter-in-law, Tao Zhao, to the east side room to talk.

The old lady smiled and said, "Did you receive the letter that someone sent you last time?" ”

When he mentioned this letter, Tao Zhao suddenly became embarrassed, and hurriedly confessed: "Because I thought that I would accompany my sister to come over today to accept the lottery."

I didn't reply to the old lady, and asked the old lady not to blame. ”

The old lady smiled and said, "If this is the case, I know that this matter is not in a hurry." ”

The old lady in the long room was so affinity, Tao Zhao was even more difficult to speak, "I just knew that the filial piety I talked to the old lady last time was also a disciple of the main branch of the Meng family, but the family was poor, and finally Xiaolian didn't get an official and a half-job, I don't know when the waiting, before the daughter-in-law wanted to choose a young lady from the side branch of the clan to marry her, and the door was also a match, but I didn't expect the old lady to take a fancy to him, and she wanted to marry the second lady." ”

Hearing this, the old lady was shocked. What does Tao Zhao mean by this? Generally speaking, Xiang has to say good things about the other party, even if he is poor, he has to tactfully pass by, not to mention that he has mentioned the general situation of filial piety last time, why bring up the old thing again today?

Could it be that the filial piety family refuses to marry this family business? The old lady never thought about this section.

Whether it is the door or the conditions, Yaohua is all high, what is not satisfied? Thinking of this, the old lady lowered her face and asked Tao Zhao, "What the hell is going on?" The Meng family refused to agree? ”

Tao Zhao hurriedly apologized: "Originally, I heard that it was the second lady in the house, and the family happily agreed, but who knew that I would find me later, saying that I would marry low and marry high, I was afraid that I would not be able to climb high, especially that nephew was old-fashioned, and he refused to agree, and this matter was urgent, and I was busy before I could ask again, but also to go back to the old lady first." Tao Zhao understood in his heart that he was afraid that the Meng family was ecstatic when he heard about the identity of the second lady at first glance, and then he must not have understood how the second miss would allow them to be such a family, so he looked for someone to ask...... Although the Meng family is not well-off, it is a single lineage, and the nephew is arrogant and only wants to rely on himself, and refuses to have a noble wife.

The old lady's heart sank, she was interested in the filial piety, but she didn't expect to meet such a person.

Tao Zhao said this, and said: "Tomorrow, my daughter-in-law will go to his house to ask." ”

I'm afraid it's useless to ask.

The old lady said: "I have a fancy for the child's future, since he has any thoughts at home, you don't have to ask again." ”

Tao Zhao confessed on his lips, but he was relieved in his heart.

The old lady was about to take the Tao Zhao family back to the main house, when Rui Qing came and said, "Mrs. Xue is here with the people from Qin Tianjian. ”

The old lady hurried out.

Mrs. Xue personally came to set the date for the change of Ti Nacai, and directly brought the people of Qin Tianjian to tell the old lady the results of Wu Muhou and Rong Hua's eight characters together.

Mrs. Tao Er stepped forward to invite the Meng family to sit in the flower hall.

Mrs. Meng, the mother of the sixth aunt, tactfully asked Mrs. Tao Er, "I don't know if the date of the Hou Mansion is set?" ”

Mrs. Tao smiled: "Not yet." ”

Mrs. Meng's eyes flickered, "When the time comes, there will be not enough people in the house, so we can come over to help if we have more people in our family." ”

The corners of Mrs. Tao's mouth curled, "That's embarrassing." "Advantech hasn't even married yet, and he's already thinking about other things.

Mrs. Meng said: "I'm sorry, it's all a family, and it's right to be close." After a pause, he asked, "Why didn't you see Miss Eight?" ”

Second Mrs. Tao said: "It should be that the eighth lady will be invited to speak when the people from Qin Tianjian go to the front to be a guest." ”

Mrs. Meng was a little disappointed, "I thought I would see Miss Eight."

Even his daughter-in-law is not in a hurry to see her, but she wants to see Miss Eight, a force like Mrs. Meng, I am afraid that Yanhua will have a hard time after marrying. Second Mrs. Tao remembered Miss Eight's humble appearance in front of others, Miss Eight was really a blessed person, how could such a great good thing fall on Miss Eight's head.

……

After Qin Tianjian finished speaking, Mrs. Xue took over and said, "Everything is fine, but there is one point that is probably not easy to do." ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Xue with an embarrassed look on her face, and asked kindly, "But I don't know what is going on?" ”

Mrs. Xue said: "Qin Tian has calculated an auspicious day, and it is best to marry in June next year, otherwise there will be no better days in these two years." ”

The old lady was slightly surprised, "So you don't have a few months to prepare?" ”

Mrs. Xue said, "Not really. ”

The old lady asked her to bring the calendar card, looked at the date repeatedly, and asked Mrs. Xue if there was any problem over there.

Mrs. Xue said: "Although the time is a little tight, but I can still deal with it, and there will be no shortage of etiquette." ”

The old lady nodded, "When the boss comes back, I tell him to listen to it, and there is no problem." "It's just that the first few unmarried young ladies have to come to cater to the date of Miss Eight's marriage.

Talking was being held in the room.

A two-person sedan chair stopped in front of the door of the Tao Mansion, and the man came out of the sedan chair and immediately sent someone forward to say to the little man guarding the door of the Tao Mansion: "Go in and report that the General Secretary has experienced the visit of Lord Gu Yinggu." ”

…………………………………………

It's late today, because of back pain~ I went out to buy medicine and a belt, and I came back to continue the code.

Gu Ying is here again.

The day of marriage is just around the corner.

160 plus ...... I still owe more money
