Chapter 268: A Critical Moment
Shen Muqing returned home sullenly, and the eldest lady saw that her expression was wrong, and asked what was wrong. I'll tell you that the fastest update is Eye. Hurry? Shen Muqing told the eldest lady what he saw on the road. The eldest lady couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "The death of the Wang family, the exile of the exile, the divorce of the Wang family, where can she go?" Isn't this forcing her to die? ”
"yes!" Shen Muqing groaned, "I want people to inquire and see if there is any place to help Wang Wenhui." ”
The eldest lady could understand Shen Muqing's sympathy for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and nodded: "Send Yinliang to go, he will do things safely." ”
Shen Muqing called Yinliang and asked him to help him inquire about what happened to the Liang family.
Who knew that Yinliang just went out and folded back. His expression was a little strange: "Big lady, grandma, Zheng Sanye and the eldest master are here!" ”
"Why did the two of them come here all of a sudden?" The eldest lady was surprised, and hurriedly instructed Yinliang to invite people in.
Shen Muqing thought of the two letters she had written-the eldest lady was good, she sent a letter to Zheng Sanye, thinking that Xiao Zhao would not care, so she didn't bother to reply to Xiao Zhao...... These two aren't here for this, are they?
She thought about it, and Yinliang walked in with Xiao Zhao and Zheng Sanye.
Xiao Zhao walked in front, looking serious and solemn, Zheng Sanye walked behind, and as soon as he entered the door, he squeezed his eyes towards Shen Muqing.
The eldest lady's attention was all on Xiao Zhao, and she didn't pay attention to her younger brother's strange appearance.
"But what's going on in business?" She didn't wait for the two of them to sit down, and asked anxiously.
Shen Muqing saw Zheng Sanye squeezing her eyes, and nodded hurriedly.
It seems that he really came here for the eldest wife's illness...... I just don't know how the two got together?
Seeing her nodding, Zheng Sanye took a long breath, and heard Xiao Zhao say impatiently: "I heard that you are sick, let me take a look." said, frowning, "What's the matter, I used to run outside every day, and I didn't hear that there was a headache and brain fever, but now with Xiao Sa's daughter-in-law, how can I say that I am sick!" His eyes fell on Shen Muqing's body with blame, as if accusing Shen Muqing of not taking good care of his eldest wife.
The eldest lady looked uneasy, and said lightly: "I was not in good health before, but you don't know." Now with Sa's daughter-in-law, she has raised a lot. He pointed to the Taishi chair against the wall again, "What's the matter, let's sit down and talk about it!" ”
As soon as Zheng Sanye heard this, he immediately sat down, the corners of Xiao Zhao's mouth were slightly twitching, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw Zheng Sanye sit down, he couldn't say anything more, so he also sat down.
The maids served tea.
Zheng Sanye smiled: "I heard that you are sick, so I want to come to Kyoto to see you." I didn't expect to meet my brother-in-law in Tongzhou, so everyone came together. "I have cleared myself up.
Xiao Zhao glanced at his uncle and asked the eldest wife, "What kind of disease do you have?" Why is it that a cold has not improved after a few months of treatment! ”
The eldest lady turned her mind and immediately understood that the problem was Shen Muqing.
She looked at Shen Muqing with a sneer, and said, "I'm older, no better than when I was young, a little wind and cold, and I have been treated for a few months." Fortunately, the wife of General Dai, the general soldier of Liaodong, introduced an imperial doctor, and now he is fine. ”
Xiao Zhao didn't believe it very much, and looked the eldest wife up and down.
Maybe she let go of those obsessions in her heart, and the eldest lady's attitude towards life is more comfortable, although her skin is fair, her clothes are loose, and her body is plump, and she has become a rich old lady.
Xiao Zhao frowned.
Zheng Yueniang, whom he knows, is a person who has to wrap his hair in silk to avoid messiness when he sleeps...... What made her look different? Unless it is a great disaster, it will make a person completely change......
Xiao Zhao's heart moved.
Could it be that he has some incurable disease, so he ......
"Since you're okay, I can breathe a sigh of relief." Xiao Zhao's people relaxed, and sat on the Taishi chair with the appearance of an old lady and instructed Shen Muqing, "I happen to have something to do in Kyoto, and I want to live for two or three months, you go and help me clean up the west for a while." ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help but look at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady's face has turned pale: "This is Nanxun Fang, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for you to act......"
Xiao Zhao interrupted the eldest lady's words: "Don't worry, I came to Kyoto for other things." will not embarrass Xiao Sa. ”
Although the eldest lady was angry, she couldn't kick him out, so she had to glare at her brother fiercely.
Zheng Sanye had no choice but to accompany the smiling face.
Xiao Zhao instructed Shen Muqing: "What about the child? Bring the baby to me! ”
Shen Muqing hesitated for a moment, and the eldest lady had already said, "Go, bring the child to her grandfather to see." ”
Zheng Sanye also said: "I haven't seen a child for a long time. ”
Shen Muqing asked Ying Fan to bring Yueying and Ziyang.
Yueying still remembered Zheng Sanye, and smiled when she saw Zheng Sanye, but she didn't know what to shout.
Zheng Sanye was so happy that he pointed to his nose and said, "I am your third uncle." ”
Xiao Zhao glanced at Zheng Sanye and did not refute his words.
Yueying giggled and called Zheng Sanye to be the "third uncle", Zheng Sanye took a piece of the best jade Buddha statue to Yueying as a meeting gift, and gave Ziyang a piece of jade Guanyin.
Xiao Zhao was more interested in Ziyang than Yueying, held the child and watched it for a long time, and said, "This child looks like Xiao Sa." ”
Who is Xiao Sa like? Like Xiao Zhao. said that Ziyang is like Xiao Sa, that is to say, he is like himself.
Shen Muqing slandered in his heart.
Everyone says that Ziyang is like Shen Zhen, how did he get to Xiao Zhao's eyes, just like Xiao Sa? It's not the patriarchal mentality that's at work. I don't like this person even more!
When the eldest lady heard this, she smiled pointedly at Shen Muqing.
Xiao Zhao gave Ziyang a small dagger made of quaint shark skin, and gave Yueying a doll in a western skirt as a meeting gift.
It can be seen that these are Western goods, which are very expensive.
As a result, Ziyang is interested in dolls, and Yueying is interested in daggers.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but laugh and asked Ying Fan to take the child down.
"Uncle and third master, you have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way. I asked people to wash their faces, and the two of us took a break and had dinner together. She also instructed Yinliang to place Xiao Zhao and Zheng Sanye's entourage, called the hosta to serve Xiao Zhao, and took Zheng Sanye to the guest house in the outer courtyard.
"I know that the eldest sister is good, I was going to go to Shijiazhuang to collect the accounts, and then I came to Kyoto to see you, who knew that I met my brother-in-law halfway......"
"Wait, aren't you the eldest master you met in Tongzhou?"
"If I met me halfway, wouldn't the eldest sister have skinned me?" Zheng Sanye smiled bitterly, "Mu Qing, to be honest, I was thinking that the young couple is an old companion, and my sister is now old, if she and her brother-in-law can reconcile, it will also be a good thing." and lest his money be given in vain to those of the house. ”
This is a matter for the older generation, and Shen Muqing is not qualified to make decisions for the eldest wife!
"Later, if your brother-in-law calls you to ask about your sister's condition, you will tell your sister's illness to be more serious." Zheng Sanye discussed with her in a whisper, "If this is the case, he still cares about that head, and I have nothing to say." ”
Shen Muqing felt that Zheng Sanye's idea was good, at least he could scare Xiao Zhao, but if he couldn't scare, it could also make him feel uncomfortable.
She nodded. I heard Zheng Sanye say again: "Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Cheng's younger brother Xiao Shan committed an accident in Taiyuan. I have the intention to let him enter Beijing at this time......"
"Xiao Cheng's younger brother committed something?" Shen Muqing was stunned, "What happened?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Zheng Sanye said, "I was jealous of others and beat the son of Taiyuan Tongzhi to death." ”
It's not a big deal......
Shen Muqing suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said with a smile: "Do you want the eldest master to make a choice?" ”
Zheng Sanye nodded, his face a little gloomy: "Not bad." I also heard about Xiaoshan occasionally, but I'm afraid my brother-in-law doesn't know about it. I wanted to try him to see if he knew that Xiao Shan had committed a crime, and whether he was willing to stay in Kyoto to accompany his sister, or go back to Shanxi to find a way for Xiao Shan. ”
Seeing Xiao Zhao's attitude towards Yueying and Ziyang, Shen Muqing felt that Zheng Sanye's bet had no chance of winning at all.
However, it's better to let Zheng Sanye try...... What is Xiao Zhao's idea, she has always felt that she can't understand!
"Ginger is still old and spicy." Shen Muqing looked at Zheng Sanye's gaze and had a little admiration, "I listen to the third master!" ”
Zheng Sanye laughed, and became the kind and lovely third master again: "It's not a family, don't enter a family." You and our old Zheng family really have nothing to say. ”
Shen Muqing covered his sleeves and smiled: "You just use me as a gunman!" ”
Zheng Sanye smiled: "Then you have to be willing!" ”
The two talked and laughed and went to the outer courtyard.
After settling the two, Shen Muqing returned to his residence. Ziyang was tearing the doll given by Xiao Zhao around.
She remembered the dagger given by Xiao Zhao, and hurriedly asked the magpie: "Where is the dagger?" ”
The magpie pointed to a black lacquer box on top of the Dobaoge cabinet: "Put it there." ”
Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Give it to Master Chang!" ”
The magpie responded.
Shen Muqing saw that the time was almost up, went to the eldest wife, and saw that Xiao Zhao and Zheng Sanye had cleaned up and let the mother-in-law serve the food.
Although the eldest lady has never set any rules for her, Xiao Zhao is here, and she still decides to do her duty as a daughter-in-law and serve soup and vegetables on the side.
The eldest lady probably knew Xiao Zhao's temper and didn't say anything.
After eating, the eldest lady and the others moved to the east room to drink tea, Shen Muqing retreated to the main room to eat, and Yinliang came back.
Shen Muqing didn't care so much, and called Yinliang to question.
“…… This matter has spread all over Kyoto. Yinliang was a little disapproving, "The Tai Lady Feng of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion sued her daughter-in-law Wang to the Zongren Mansion, saying that the Wang family 'doesn't care about her mother-in-law, and she likes to play with right and wrong, which makes the family uneasy', and wants to divorce the Wang family." However, the Zongren Mansion rejected Feng's request on the grounds that the Wang family 'had nothing to return to'. Who knew that the Wang family also had backbone, and knew that the Feng family went to the Zongren Mansion to sue her, and actually wrote a book of absolute righteousness, invited himself to go to the court, and took nothing with him except for the two children - however, he was still caught up by the Marquis of Liang on the way and brought the two children back to the Hou Mansion! ”
"Wang wrote a book of righteousness?" Shen Muqing was stunned, but felt that this kind of behavior was more in line with Wang Wenhui's character, "Do you know where the Wang family lives now?" ”。.。
