Chapter 255: The Truth
Mrs. Wu's face turned a little pale at this time.
She stumbled and asked Master Wu, "Is this true?" "A face full of doubts.
Lord Wu looked very distressed: "I asked Hao Jianfeng." Didn't he do a senator in Shaanxi back then? I just wanted him to inquire about Shen Rensi, who knew that Hao Jianfeng saw that Shen Rensi was very strong, and he actually kicked Yu Jingxiu over, and he was also inquiring about his ins and outs. That's why I asked a question - it turned out that Shen Rensi was the son-in-law of the Huayin Fu family. He was afraid that Mrs. Wu would not know, so he explained, "It is the one who is in the Ministry of Officials." He added, "I heard Hao Jianfeng say that he almost got married to the Fu family at the beginning, so he also knows something about the Fu family."
At that time, the ninth miss of the Fu family and Yu Ge Lao's son Yu Jing revised their marriage, which was also one of the reasons why he wanted to marry the Fu family. Later, somehow, Miss Fu Jiajiu died of illness, and this family business was dispersed. Speaking of this, Lord Wu paused and whispered to his wife, "Mrs. Zhao is also surnamed Fu, you say, will that Mrs. Zhao be the young lady of the Fu family?" ”
Mrs. Wu was taken aback: "No, it won't be, right?" I said this in my mouth, but inexplicably, I faintly felt that there was such a possibility in my heart. Otherwise, how could the two families, one in the north and the other in the south, form such a big beam?
She suddenly became a little annoyed: "I think you should not chase the wind and shadow here, why don't you take the time to ask Hao Jianfeng again...... They are all in the Ministry of Officials now, they are Hao Jianfeng's subordinates, if they have anything to say, Hao Jianfeng came forward to help ask, and it is difficult for the two of them to refuse. ”
When Master Wu heard his wife say that he was "chasing the wind and catching shadows", he was a little unhappy, and said with a sinking face: "What kind of chasing the wind and catching shadows?" I say this for some reason. Think about it, the Fu family has always been innocent. The daughter's family is loyal and fierce. Even if Miss Fu Jiajiu dies of illness, she is a betrothed person in the end. It stands to reason that the Fu family should let the Yu family welcome Miss Fu Jiajiu's tablet into the door, so that Miss Fu Jiajiu will have a place to enjoy incense in the future. Taking a step back, even if the Fu family cares about Yu Ge Lao. should also have a fight with the Yu family - the daughter gave up the position of his wife, and your Yu family should compensate for it. But you see now, the Fu family is two out of the house. One is just a fifth-grade Langzhong, and the other is just a fourth-grade prefect, which is too cheap for the Yu family......" he said. Brushed a few sparse beards. "...... Could it be that the Fu family is at a loss, and they can't afford to say hard words! ”
The daughter's family is at a loss, what else can it be besides being unchaste?
Mrs. Wu immediately became excited: "If Mrs. Zhao is really the ninth miss of the Fu family, what do you say, what happened at the beginning?" ”
"How do I know?" Master Wu knew what Mrs. Wu was thinking at a glance, and he immediately glared at Mrs. Wu fiercely. "Don't mess around. Zhao Ling is not a vegetarian? If you make him unhappy, he will make your family ruined and your children and grandchildren. Look at the way he treats those people in the Zhao family...... Don't cause trouble at home! ”
Mrs. Wu shuddered when she heard this, and said busily: "I know." I know. Didn't I tell you? The others, I don't dare to snort. "But in the end, I was unwilling. He muttered in a low voice: "If Mrs. Zhao is the ninth miss of the Fu family, then does Lord Zhao know the details of Mrs. Zhao?" ”
Seeing that she was still thinking about this, Lord Wu slapped his palm on the kang table with a "snap": "If you dare to take my words as wind in your ears, I will send you back to your mother's house." ”
What's this, what's this called?
I just muttered a few words, and I was going to send myself back to my parents' house!
They have been married for more than 30 years!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but tears rippled: "The master's heart is too hateful!" I've been with you for so many years, when did it make you feel bad? I think at the beginning, if I hadn't sold the good land for the marriage, would you have been able to go to Beijing to take the exam? Later, if I hadn't gone back to my parents' house to borrow money with a straight face, could you buy an official uniform and an official sedan chair to invite the master...... Now it's just one more word, and you're going to send me back to my parents' house, is it easy for me for so many years......"
Lord Wu was exposed by his wife, and his face turned red with anger, but everything his wife said was true, and there was no water at all, even if he wanted to, he couldn't refute it.
Just as he was about to brush his sleeves away, a little maid said through the door curtain: "Master, Mrs., Lord Hao is here!" ”
The husband and wife were stunned.
Lord Wu lowered his voice and scolded Mrs. Wu: "Go and wash your face, what kind of body is this?" Then he instructed the little maid, "Please invite Master Hao to sit in the study." ”
The little maid answered the call and left.
Mrs. Wu took out a handkerchief, wiped her face indiscriminately, and hurriedly called her close mother to come in and serve.
Lord Wu took the opportunity to leave the inner room.
Mrs. Wu thought that today was not the New Year, not the festival, and not the rest, why did Hao Jianfeng come?
Is it for the Fu family's business?
At the thought of this possibility, Mrs. Wu couldn't sit still.
That Zhao Ling treats his wife like a treasure. When I came back, I didn't go anywhere, so I took that Fu Shi everywhere to play. Once when they came back from outside, she saw Zhao Ling carry Fu Shi out of the carriage...... If Fu's character is at a loss, I don't know if Zhao Ling knows, will he hold Fu in his mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in his hand for fear of falling.
Her heart was pounding.
It's just to know if Mrs. Zhao has anything to do with the Fu family. If it was related, I would definitely not say it. If it doesn't matter, just take this opportunity to correct Mrs. Zhao's name. Maybe I can make Mrs. Zhao grateful and make friends with her!
They didn't say that the reason why Uncle Yu didn't get the errand in the matter was because Mrs. Zhao intervened...... I think that at the beginning, the emperor also asked the Queen Mother to marry her! Her ability is so great, the lord has been in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites for six or seven years, didn't the emperor replace Shen Ge Lao and Mo Ge Lao in one go? Maybe with the help of Mrs. Zhao's high branch, I can also let the master move somewhere?
Mrs. Wu found a reason for herself, and secretly instructed her mother: "You go to the master's study and find a way to listen to what the master and Master Hao have said?" ”
The close-fitting mother understood and quietly left.
After a while, the mother folded back: "The gate is closed, and all the servants in the house have been sent out into the courtyard." The old man's personal servant guarded the door. It's really unclose! ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she felt that she had guessed correctly.
She fidgeted in the room and waited for Lord Wu to return.
Lord Wu didn't come back until the second watch.
Mrs. Wu couldn't wait to meet her, and saw her husband's face ashen.
Her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly said, "What's wrong? What did Hao Jianfeng say? ”
Lord Wu drove the maid and mother-in-law in the house, went to close the door in person, and pulled Mrs. Wu into the ear room next to the inner room. Only then did he say in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhao is really the ninth miss of the Fu family!" ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her heart seemed to have skipped a few beats, and she didn't catch her breath for a long time.
Lord Wu only cared about his own thoughts, and noticed Mrs. Wu's strange appearance.
He rubbed his hands together and spun around the room. muttered: "Hao Jianfeng was also probing Shen Rensi's depth, and only then did he find out about Mrs. Zhao...... Shen Rensi confessed and did not deny the relationship with the Fu family. It is only said that Huayin was in trouble at that time. Fu is lost. For the sake of honor, the Yu family said that he died of illness. That being the case, when her daughter returns from the catastrophe, the Yu family should be happy, even if she can't admit it openly for the sake of her reputation, it's the same if she goes to or admits her goddaughter in private. Why did the Zhao family and the Fu family have no contact at all? It doesn't make sense! ”
Mrs. Wu perked up when she heard this, and said, "I remember, the time when Lord Zhao just moved over." It seems that someone came to visit Zhao's house - there was a carriage with an official green curtain parked in front of the door, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now I want to come. Could it be that Master Fu came to see Mrs. Zhao? ”
"That's not right." Lord Wu shook his head," Hao Jianfeng said. At that time, Henan according to the inspection envoy was over seventy years old, old and unbearable, I don't know when he will die of illness or to the officer, just when the deputy envoy of Henan according to the inspection is vacant, many people in the court and the central government are staring at this position, thinking that in case the Henan according to the inspector has a three long and two short, just to take over. Elder Yu Ge also recommended Master Fu. Since Mrs. Zhao was able to arrange her cousin-in-law to the position of the left side of the ministry under the old Yu Ge, why did her father stand by and watch when she was promoted to the knighthood? It can be seen that their relationship is very bad.
"And when Hao Jianfeng asked about Master Fu, Shen Rensi said twice, 'Master Fu is Cunjing Jing's uncle, he has been in Kyoto for many years, Humble Jing arrived at the Shen family at the age of fifteen, Hancheng is remote, and I have only met Master Fu a few times after entering Beijing, looking like he wants to clear up......"
"So what's going on?" The more Mrs. Wu listened, the more confused she became, "The daughter dares not to let go of her father, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have been slapped a long time ago, but Master Fu swallowed his anger......"
"That is what you should have done to be sorry for your daughter," Lord Wu said with certainty, "I'm afraid it's not just sorry for my daughter, but also a loss of morality." Otherwise, Master Fu would not be so weak-hearted. He thought that there was a gap between the Zhao family and the Yu family, "Maybe this incident was caused by the Yu family...... "The gossip of the Ge family, speaking of this, he couldn't help but be curious, and instructed his wife, "Aren't you very good with Mrs. Ji?" If you find a way to inquire about the Yu family, maybe, we will have unexpected gains! ”
Mrs. Wu was stunned: "Didn't you say that we can't afford to provoke people like Zhao Ling, so let me leave their family's affairs alone?" ”
"Why don't you use your brains!" Lord Wu was angry at his stupidity, "If this matter is unreasonable for the Zhao family, we will naturally have to keep our mouths shut; If this matter is in the Zhao family, how can we help him fight the grievances...... Do you understand? Hao Jianfeng also means this! ”
Mrs. Wu suddenly realized, and then said worriedly: "If Elder Yu Ge knows......
Lord Wu glanced at Mrs. Wu with disdain: "Could it be that they are beating gongs and drums and shouting all over the street?" ”
Oh yes!
Their purpose was to curry favor with Zhao Ling, and they didn't want to go to the palace to shout grievances on behalf of Zhao Ling, they just needed to say a few fair words in front of Zhao Ling. Even if Elder Yu Ge knows, what they say is the truth, Elder Yu Ge can still sue them for slander!
