Chapter 41: Scheming (Part II)

The eldest lady was taken aback, "How could you hand-pick Wu Muhou?" ”

The eldest man frowned slightly, "This case is very widely implicated, the prince is pressing, and there must be capable officials below, not only to handle the case, but also to be able to handle it, it is a drudgery." If it is not done well, the above will blame, and if it is done well, it will offend many high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

The eldest lady heard the chord sound outside the words, "In this way, the saint wants to use Wu Muhou as a capable official?" ”

The eldest lord shook his head, "Not necessarily, the saint probably took a fancy to the reputation of Wu Muhou's cold noodles, so he would have such a will." ”

"I deliberately passed by the side of the Wumuhou Mansion in a warm sedan chair today, the front courtyard of the Wumuhou Mansion was deserted, and no one wanted to easily explore the mouth of this cold-faced Houye with a bad temper." The eldest man pondered for a moment and frowned, "Second sister's plan to put it in advance and see if it's moving." In case Wu Muhou is smashed, he will be convicted ......"

The eldest lady said: "When the errand of Marquis Wumu is completed and the trust of the saint is obtained, this family business will be even more difficult for us to climb, and besides, the grandmother of Marquis Wumu is Princess Heshuo, even if the errand is messed up, the saint will always look at Princess Heshuo's face...... We have built so many bridges for this family business before, and we can't make the wrong decision at the critical moment. ”

After all, she is the wife of the first-class marquis and the first-class cloud cavalry captain, although Wu Muhou has a bad temper, there is no major problem in his conduct, if it weren't for the sudden death of the wife that Wu Muhou had already set, this family business would not have been their turn.

The eldest lord still has doubts, "Wu Muhou is different from the eldest aunt, Wu Muhou I look at the habits of the noble sons on my body, and I am even more indifferent and do not like to have deep friendships with others, not like the eldest aunt......"

The eldest lady said busily: "The second sister is not young, how can there be such a suitable family now, the second sister will marry as long as the future is good." Besides, the master's big things are important, didn't the master say it, the current situation ......"

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

It is precisely these words, how many people have been defeated because they have the wrong new master, in case something goes wrong in the Yicheng Marquis Mansion in the future, the Tao family will have to rely on a bigger backer...... This is about the entire Tao family, careless, thinking of this, the eldest lord nodded, "After all, it is the marquis who has already inherited the title, and it is inevitable to be a little arrogant." ”

The eldest man glanced at the tea bowl, and the eldest lady knew that he wanted to drink tea, so she hurriedly called Dong Rui to come in and change the tea.

The eldest man picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips, and his locked brows stretched out a little.

The eldest lady took the opportunity to ask again, "General Jianwei's case won't implicate the master, right?" ”

The eldest master was a little absent-minded, "After all, I am a small sect here, and I won't find out for a while." ”

The eldest lady was relieved at this time, and thought about the relocation of the third room to the capital, "I think it is better to vacate the three-entry house in Sanmiao Hutong, let the three-room live there first, and then buy another one when there is a suitable yard." ”

The eldest lord was grateful for the eldest lady's open-mindedness, and his tone softened, "That is always given to our ancestral property." ”

When the family was separated, the courtyard of Sanmiao Hutong was assigned to the big house, and after the old man entered Beijing to take up his post, he began to live there, and then felt that the house was too small, so he bought this place.

In this house, the main house in the east of the Millennium Hall is where the old lady lives, although now the old lady has moved to Fenghuaju to recuperate, the Millennium Hall is also cleaned as usual, the old lady did not speak, and the eldest lady did not dare to propose to live in.

"You should ask your mother these days, and ask her to move back to the Millennium Hall!"

It's about to be worshiped to the ancestors, and the eldest lady understands this truth.

The eldest lady remembered what Yaohua had just said, so she discussed with the eldest master, "I want to wait until the second sister's side of the second sister's side is settled." ”

The eldest lord casually agreed, "You can watch these things and do them!" ”

Another official came to the house, the eldest lord greeted him out, and the eldest lady was busy arranging people to serve, knowing that the eldest lord had never liked her to inquire about these serious matters in government affairs, so he didn't ask much, but only called Chen's mother over, "Since Yaohua has vacant manpower, you can take Jade to Ronghua." ”

Chen's mother nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow I have to go to the Yicheng Marquis Mansion to see Shuhua, and I have to discuss the matter with Shuhua over there." When she heard that Shuhua had a miscarriage at first glance, she was really messed up, Yaohua was not unreasonable, she had to think about the candidate to marry the Yicheng Marquis Mansion, if the eighth miss Ronghua was really a deferential person, if it was the same as the fifth miss, what did she really think...... She has her own methods.

Chen's mother said: "Jinxiu, I'll ask again, Jinxiu said to Chu Xiao that Miss Eight was going to marry her eldest aunt as a concubine, but she didn't necessarily hear it from Miss Eight, I told Jinxiu to pay more attention to Miss Eight last time, and the girl probably heard something from my words, so she thought she was right." ”

The eldest lady heard this, "If Rong Hua had made any moves, Jinxiu should have come to me and told me." ”

Speaking of this, the eldest lady suddenly remembered something, "I remember the last time Ma Daopo from the Sansheng Nunnery came into the house to greet her, and said that the eldest sister seems to have had a catastrophe recently, yes or no?" ”

As soon as the eldest lady said this, Chen's mother suddenly remembered that the eldest lady believed in the dust master of Tongjiao Temple, and she didn't believe much in Ma Daopo's words, if it wasn't for the cure of the second lady's illness, the direction of the Sansheng Nunnery was just conducive to the second lady, and she needed to worship the Bodhisattva there, and she wouldn't let Ma Daopo enter the house from time to time, "When Mrs. said this, I remembered that there was such a thing." ”

The eldest lady said: "I just didn't care if she couldn't speak accurately, and there was a dust master at home." "Paused," I didn't expect to answer her words. ”

Chen's mother said: "Who said it wasn't, this Ma Daopo is frivolous on weekdays, and every day when she enters the house, she asks his wife for money to go to the medicine king to make offerings, and after a few years, the second lady's illness has not improved, so we have no heart." ”

That's it, so I didn't take her seriously.

The eldest lady thought slightly, "You go and call her in a while, and I will ask her carefully to see if there is anything that is not done properly. ”

Chen's mother hurriedly ordered someone to go to the Sansheng Nunnery to find Ma Daopo to enter the house, and she took Jade to Miss Eight's residence.

Jade packed up her things and waited for Chen's mother to take her to Miss Eight, Jade had already made up her mind in her heart, no matter how dissatisfied Miss Eight was with her, it didn't matter, with Miss Two behind her, the sky would not fall.

Mother Chen entered the door, the second miss was asleep, Jade quietly kowtowed to the second miss and left with Chen's mother.

When she arrived at Miss Eight's house, Jade only stood behind Chen's mother, bowing her head and not speaking.

Mother Chen said again, "Because there are few people in Miss Eight's house, I transferred the jadeite, and there are three second-class maids, so I can barely use it." ”

After Mother Chen said this, without waiting for Miss Eight to have any opinions, Mother Chen said, "Jade, go and see Miss Eight." ”

With Chen's mother here, Jade acted very respectfully, and went up to give Rong Hua a big gift, which can be regarded as a recognition of the master.

Jade raised her head again and saw Miss Eight's smiling face, "What do you do on weekdays?" ”

Jade replied truthfully: "Needlework." ”

Rong Hua smiled with satisfaction: "It's good this time, I have one more helper." Yaohua had a new move so quickly, and she was sent in through the hand of the eldest lady, so she couldn't refuse.

Jade looks respectful, but her chin is slightly raised, and there is a little suppleness in her eyes.

Chen's mother sat for a while and left without mentioning it.

Rong Hua gave the needle and thread in his hand to Jade, "I want to make a lace jacket for my mother, you used to be in your mother's room, you know what your mother likes, I haven't embroidered lace yet, you just want to help." ”

Jade didn't expect that Miss Eight would send her a job so soon, when she first arrived at Miss Two's house, she had nothing to do a few days ago, and she was embarrassed to be an idler for a while. What's more, needlework was originally a craft she was good at, and Miss Eight handed it to her, which meant to lift her, Jade couldn't help but be proud, she saw it in her eyes, Miss Eight lowered her eyebrows, and wanted to come and collect her.

Jade raised her eyebrows, and the person became arrogant, "Lace Confucian jacket, the eldest lady likes to wear the second lady's most to do, don't look at the second lady's needlework, but the things made are the most suitable for the wife, after all, it is a mother-daughter connection, which no one can compare." ”

What this means is that Miss Eight is a concubine, and no matter how she sells it, it is useless.

When Mu Hibiscus heard this, his face changed and he was about to step forward, but he was pulled back by Rong Hua, Mu Hibiscus pouted unconvinced, and his face was red.
