Chapter 84: Twists and Turns (II)

The man's surname was Gu Mingying, who was originally a petty official under Tao Zheng'an's jurisdiction, and was later dismissed for making a mistake. Tao Zhengan never thought that a petty official like Gu Ying, who didn't seem to cause any harm to him, would one day do something to threaten him. And Gu Ying not only had the evidence that he bribed Su Xiyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but also the unsolved public case of the alchemist back then.

He couldn't even know how this Gu Ying found the alchemist.

Gu Ying's parents died early, her grandfather raised her, and now that the old lady Gu has also entered the ground, Gu Ying is only left alone, which makes people have no way to start, such a splash is not afraid, kill him and don't know where the evidence in his hand is, if you don't kill him, you must always be on guard against being exposed by him.

Tao Zheng'an's hands trembled angrily, and he scolded angrily: "There is such a scoundrel in this world, and he keeps saying that it is to repay my kindness, otherwise he would have taken the evidence to find others." ”

The eldest lady also had an angry look on her face, "What does he mean by this, do you want the master to thank him?" ”

Tao Zhengan sat on the chair gloomily, "If someone hadn't done Su Xiyao, where would there be today?" "There is also the matter of alchemy, how much sacrifice he has made for this, why does this matter always follow him.

"He's really looking for someone tomorrow, so what can he do?"

Tao Zhengan said: "What else can I do?" Even if you really ask my daughter, you have to have a rule, and once you become the son-in-law of my Tao family, if something happens to the Tao family, what good can he do? "If you really marry your daughter to Gu Ying, you can get peace for a while, and after Gu Ying relaxes her vigilance, I will go to him to see what else he knows.

Tao Zhengan thought for a while and said: "The Hou Mansion doesn't know when it will be able to propose, and the people in the court and China say that Su Xiyao's case is the clearest thing about the Hou Ye, and if there is really something on this, I am afraid that I will have to rely on the Hou Ye." After thinking for a while, "Marrying into the prince's family, the dowry is indispensable and makes people laugh, even if the money is not used for a while, you have to find a way to move a few Zhuangzi over." ”

The eldest lady nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I'm thinking about all these things." Then he asked, "What if that man really comes to ask for marriage tomorrow?" ”

Tao Zhengan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any way, just looked at the eldest wife, "Don't come to ask me about the inner house." ”

The eldest lady's face couldn't help but sink, it had always been like this, but whenever he encountered something that he couldn't solve or couldn't solve, he pushed it to her, and in case she didn't do well, he complained unceremoniously.

Tao Zheng'an said again after a long time: "The main thing is the marriage between Yaohua and the Hou Mansion, and this matter is better than anything else." ”

The eldest lady's house was fine, Chunyao came out of it, and suddenly remembered that the lace jacket that Miss Eight made for the eldest lady had not yet been finished, so he hurriedly walked to Miss Eight's house.

Miss Eight leaned on the pillow and read under the lamp.

After Chunyao entered, the tranquility in the room was immediately shattered.

Chunyao said and left, and Rong Hua pondered under the lamp.

Mu Hibiscus clenched her hands in a hurry, "Miss, what can I do?" ”

Jinxiu looked at Rong Hua's contemplative appearance, and reached out to pull the hibiscus aside, "What's the use of us being in a hurry?" Don't argue with Miss, let Miss think about it carefully. ”

Mu Hibiscus still wanted to speak, but when she saw that Jinxiu's face also sank, she lost her previous composure, and she knew that Jinxiu was as anxious as her, and then looked at Miss Eight, who seemed to be thinking about something without saying a word.

"Why don't you send a letter to the Xue family to reveal it?"

Jinxiu shook her head, "When I went to Xue's house as a guest that day, Mrs. Xue was just a little better to Miss than other young ladies, and she didn't say anything, how could she reveal this kind of thing." ”

Mu Hibiscus said again: "What about the third wife, after all, our young lady has saved the third wife and the tenth young lady." ”

Jinxiu said: "What's the use of that, the third room can't meddle in the affairs of the big house." ”

Mu Hibiscus bit her lip tightly, "Only the second master is left." But what can the second master do, unless the young lady wants to escape, it may not be able to succeed. Didn't the old lady help Miss Six find a doorman? Maybe the old lady ......."

Jinxiu didn't speak, Rong Hua had already sighed, "That's because there is a fourth aunt in front." "Besides, this matter is imminent, if one must be given away, how could the old lady give up others to protect her.

Hibiscus looked at Miss Eight, "So there is no way?" ”

No matter who the family wants to promise her to, she has no right to express her wishes now, and others are unreliable. Rong Hua asked Hibiscus to come in and freshen up, and then lay down on the bed by himself.

Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu and Hibiscus in front of the bed, "You go down first, let me think about it again." He also instructed Mu Hibiscus, "Don't talk to the second master first." ”

This is probably the biggest difficulty she faced after becoming Miss Eight, Rong Hua lay quietly for a while, her mind was chaotic for a while, she fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly woke up, vaguely remembering something. Since that person can do something coerced, he naturally has a calculation in his heart, and if he wants to get close to the Tao family, he must find someone to rely on, otherwise how can he give up.

Thinking of this, Rong Hua propped up half of his body and called Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus into the house.

Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus didn't fall asleep because of tonight's incident, and when they heard Rong Hua's voice, they hurriedly got up, put on their clothes and shoes, and walked over.

Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu and said, "What about the clothes that Jade made for me?" Bring it to me tomorrow to wear. ”

Jinxiu didn't understand for a while, "Where did Jade make clothes for Miss!" ”

Mu Hibiscus remembered, "How could someone like Jade make clothes for Miss, I did see her make a gown last time, but it was for Second Miss." ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly, "It's you who are confused, Jade has been in my house recently, so I went to the second lady's side, how can the clothes she made be the second miss," after finishing speaking, he lay on the bed, "I'm going to come to Jade early tomorrow morning, don't forget to thank her on my behalf," After a pause, he pointed to the little clothes on his body, "Aren't the flowers on it embroidered by jade?" It's broken after only two wears, you can't sew it if you don't have good needlework, talk to the second sister tomorrow, and borrow the jade for half a day. ”

Jinxiu vaguely guessed the meaning of this, but Mu Hibiscus was confused, but when she saw Miss Eight's appearance, she might have thought of a way, and her heart suddenly felt a little relaxed.

Rong Hua explained some more words, and the three of them slept separately again.

Mrs. Xue came back from the palace, the Xue family got together for dinner, and at the dinner table, I heard the old lady talk about the things in the palace, it was nothing more than that the ladies were all in good health, and the queen mother was still worried about you.

When everyone heard this, how could there be no reason not to be grateful, the smile on their faces was the same, but their hearts were colorful.

Everyone knows that there will definitely be some big things in the Xue family during these days.

Coming, the old lady left a few ladies in the big room, the second room, the third room, and the fourth room to speak, except for those young masters and young ladies who don't know the world, the rest of the people know better in their hearts that the marriage of the Hou Ye should be officially moved to the agenda, and they don't know which lady the future Mrs. Hou is.

The old lady and her four daughters-in-law sat in the room, plus their personal maids and maids serving tea, and the room was already full of people.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue are not fond of talking, so they listened to the second wife and the fourth wife laughing, and the second wife said that the tea in her house was not as delicious as the old lady's house, and the fourth lady joked with her, "I used all the money for decoration, and used such a good yarn as a curtain, if I was reluctant, there was a soft tent and green yarn in the house, and if I didn't go to you, I wouldn't know what was called Gentle Township." ”

These words made the fourth lady blush.

The old lady said, "You are not ashamed of you in this house." ”

The second wife raised the corner of her eye, and smiled at the fourth wife, "How dare anyone do it, I don't dare to say it?" ”

The third lady also pursed her lips and laughed, and Mrs. Xue only ate tea on the side.

Old Madam Xue said, "I'll talk to you about it." ”

Then the people fell silent and listened.

Old Madam Xue pondered for a moment in her heart, "I remember that you all said that you each have a place to repair in your own yard, and I didn't answer you before, but I just felt that it was troublesome and not worth it to start work for this little thing." Now...... Go back carefully and consult, and report all the places that are to be repaired, and I will go to the steward to see them, and the money will come out of me. ”

Several people were delighted on their faces. It's just that why I didn't think it was worth it before, but now I have to repair it again. Of course, there is a big event to be done in the house.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue's hearts lit up.

Old Madam Xue said again: "Mingrui's study is too far away, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, so let people carefully tidy up his yard, set up a few rooms on the west side, and choose a larger one to be the study." The cost is also from my side. ”

Mrs. Xue's face was slightly embarrassed, "How good is this!" ”

Old Madam Xue said with a smile: "What's that, many of my ladders are also your filial piety on weekdays, but now they are just for use at home, so just take them out." As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Xue again, "There are some things that you can't do by yourself, just let them help, if you don't need them, they will come and tell me......" At the end, he laughed.

The second, third, and fourth wives all said, "How dare you do this." The second wife even said: "If my sister-in-law has a good use, she will only say to us." ”

A few people talked for a while, but Mrs. Xue left Mrs. Xue alone, and when everyone was far away, Mrs. Xue got down to business, "You have something to tell me before, does it explain Rui's marriage?" ”

Mrs. Xue nodded.

Old Madam Xue pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you already have a candidate in mind?" ”

Mrs. Xue looked at the old lady's face, although she had talked to the old lady about Rui'er's marriage before, at that time, the old lady meant that the door was right, although the Tao family's door was not low, but the eighth lady was a concubine after all. Mrs. Xue said: "Mother, what do you think of the eighth lady of the Tao family?" ”

Old Madam Xue glanced at Mrs. Xue, and there was no surprise, "A young lady from a concubine, no matter how you say it, it doesn't sound good." ”

Mrs. Xue said: "My daughter-in-law also sees that she is a good child who is well-read and courteous. ”

Mrs. Xue also thought about it, Miss Tao Eight, who is knowledgeable and courteous, seems to be honest and responsible, and has no foundation in her mother's family. When she entered the palace this time, the queen mother said that the imperial concubine had brought a painting from her home, and the woman on the painting was somewhat similar to Princess Honghua, so let her take a look. For a few years, she had some incurable diseases, and she never entered the palace, and Cai was named the princess of Honghua and soon married away, and Mrs. Xue did not see it, but I heard that this princess of Honghua has a very good reputation.

The palace maids slowly unfolded the portrait, and when she saw the person in the painting, she couldn't help but be very surprised, the person in the painting turned out to be Miss Tao Eight. Old Madam Xue naturally talked about her intention to choose a family affair for Rui'er among several ladies......

Speaking of this, the imperial concubine also glanced at her meaningfully.

The situation is becoming more and more obvious, and now even the Queen Mother is on the side of the imperial concubine.

When to take a stand, how to take a stand, how to leave room for yourself.

"Now that you've seen it, do it carefully. Doesn't Miss Tao Ba have a few sisters? The young and the old are orderly, you still have to discuss this matter with the Tao family,"

Mrs. Cai smiled and said, "Yes." "I also discussed with Mrs. Tai who would be the Baoshan.

It depends on whether Rong Hua can get through the first hurdle.

Hehe.

I'll go back to my husband's hometown tomorrow.

People are on the go.

However, it will be updated as usual.
