Chapter 92: Counterattack (I)
Rong Hua looked at Brother Hong's childlike smile, "Where is it so easy." (Niu Wen ~ Net)"
Brother Hong said: "What's so difficult about that, just tell the eldest brother-in-law that you don't want him to marry the second sister." ”
Rong Hua said: "You are a child, how can he listen to you?" ”
Brother Hong's smile froze, "What are you going to tell me to say?" ”
Rong Hua said: "My matter is not clear, but the eldest sister's matter has already been a little bit of an eyebrow, and if you pay a little attention, you may be able to find out something." ”
Rong Hua simply told Brother Hong about his guess, but he didn't elaborate on how he was killed by the eldest wife's poison.
Rong Hua cut off the lights, the sparks jumped, the room became brighter, Brother Hong's face at the table was still gloomy, Rong Hua began to regret it a little, Brother Hong was an eleven-year-old child after all, and she gave him too much pressure.
"Brother Hong," Rong Hua said softly, "Don't think too much, you'll figure it out one day." ”
Brother Hong raised his head and looked at Rong Hua, "Sister, is what you said true?" Is the second sister really related to your death? ”
Although Jinxiu said that, there are many things in it that are also speculations, and many places have not been completely unraveled, and there is a fog in front of him, and the things in the fog are faint.
What did Yaohua overhear that day? What can make Tao Zhengan so nervous? When it came to killing her own flesh and blood with her own hands, she guessed that the Zhao family was unwilling to marry her into the door, so she joined forces with the eldest wife to poison her...... It doesn't seem to be the case, Tao Zhengan has something to hide, and I'm afraid that even the eldest wife may not be clear about some of the facts here.
Rong Hua didn't figure out what he didn't figure out, how could he tell Brother Hong? Only for the time being, she can say her guesses. After all, Yaohua is by her side, and it is always right to expose her true face in front of Brother Hong first and let Brother Hong be on guard.
"So, my sister's previous guess about Ma Daopo is also true?"
Rong Hua nodded.
Brother Hong said, "I didn't expect it to be like this," he said and frowned, "There is still a girl sent in by my second sister in my room, Xia Tao asked me to guard against it before, and I don't believe it yet." Now it seems that I should ......"
Rong Hua looked at the strange look on Brother Hong's face, and knew that the girl named Coral was different from ordinary girls in his heart, "As long as you pay more attention to her on weekdays, you can see whether it is good or bad soon." ”
Brother Hong nodded, "If she really has two hearts, I will definitely not be able to keep her." ”
The hour was not early, and Rong Hua sent Brother Hong out.
Brother Hong held Rong Hua's hand tightly, "Sister, don't worry, when I grow up, I will definitely not let you live like this again." My heart was hot but I didn't know what to say, and I thought about it for a long time as if I had promised, "I will definitely give the best to my sister." ”
Rong Hua said softly: "I just hope that Brother Hong can be happy and happy in the future." ”
……
Mrs. Xue and Second Mrs. Xue laughed and went to the old lady's house.
The old lady was about to eat, and beckoned Mrs. Xue and the second lady over, "Come and eat together." ”
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue sat down happily.
After eating, the old lady asked, "How is Mrs. Tao's health?" ”
Mrs. Xue said: "It seems that the spirit is a little worse, but it is not a big deal." ”
The old lady nodded, "That's good," she said casually, "the day after tomorrow, the Qin Heavenly Prison will come." ”
Mrs. Xue was surprised: "Mother has already invited Qin Tianjian?" ”
The old lady smiled: "It's not me, it's just that the last time I entered the palace and said that I wanted to repair the garden, the imperial concubine asked about the date, so I ordered Qin Tianjian to come and have a look." ”
Second Mrs. Xue pursed her lips and smiled, when did the imperial concubine care about the Xue family so much.
Besides, Qin Tianjian came here, not just to see the garden, right?
Sure enough, the old lady asked, "How is the Tao family?" ”
Mrs. Xue said, "Mrs. Ren will go again tomorrow." ”
The old lady nodded, "I can help you when I marry early," she said and lowered her head to drink tea, putting down the tea bowl without raising her eyes, "You should also take over a lot of things in my hands." ”
Hearing this, Second Mrs. Xue's face changed suddenly.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Xue and the second wife went back separately, and the second Mrs. Xue entered the house and sent the maids down, and talked to Xue Chongyi about the old lady's words today.
Second Mrs. Xue said, "What do you mean by that?" You can't marry your granddaughter-in-law and take away all the things I manage, right? ”
Xue Chongyi said: "My mother didn't say it, it's just a matter in my mother's hands." ”
Second Mrs. Xue said, "What can be in my mother's hands," and suddenly remembered, "Could it be those Zhuangzi?" ”
Xue Chongyi frowned, "My mother has several Zhuangzi in her hands, didn't she add three more last year?" Could it be that these Zhuangzi have to be handed over to the big house to take care of? ”
Second Mrs. Xue hung her phoenix eyes, "I've been watching those Zhuangzi for a long time, and my mother may not know better than me," Speaking of this, Second Mrs. Xue folded her legs, with a proud face, Xue Chongyi hurriedly brought her a cup of tea, and Second Mrs. Xue pursed her lips and laughed, "These Zhuangzi are settled together at the end of the year, and outsiders may not know which one has the most oil and water, some Zhuangzi granaries are not enough, and some Zhuangzi granaries are mostly filled with grain for other Zhuangzi, all of which are the same fields, but the amount of grain produced is different." ”
"Some of those Zhuangzi make money, and there are also a few who invest money every year and can't make ends meet every year. Some Zhuangzi don't look at it as a new servant, but they have to be used, and some Zhuangzi are in charge of things are the servants who were favored by the mother, but no one can use it except the mother. The mother has the heart to mention the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, maybe she also wants to take the opportunity to win over the relationship with the eldest grandson, but if the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law is not used like the eldest daughter-in-law, the mother will naturally use our second room. He said with a smile, "I have to help my mother choose Zhuangzi." ”
Xue Chongyi was confused when he heard this, "I don't understand these things, you can arrange them." ”
Second Mrs. Xue smiled: "The most mother-like thing about your Xue family is that you will only reach out and ask for money, and you won't care about money." Then he said, "This new daughter-in-law has something to learn when she enters the door." "Thinking of Miss Tao Ba's obedient appearance, it seems that she is timid and cowardly, where can such a person gain a firm foothold in the Xue family, it is good that the imperial concubine has succeeded, if it doesn't work, it won't be sooner or later to be suspended.
Second Mrs. Xue remembered something and asked, "Have you seen Chang Ningbo again recently?" ”
Xue Chongyi said: "I've seen it." ”
Second Mrs. Xue said busily: "How?" ”
Xue Chongyi thought for a moment, "It seems that I don't know." He looked at the second wife, "Could it be that he didn't notice it?" ”
Second Mrs. Xue said: "Even if Chang Ningbo didn't notice it, Mrs. Chang Ningbo should know what her daughter had done, how could she not know anything about her mother." Either Chang Ningbo's family is not satisfied with our family affairs, or the fourth lady is ashamed to mention it. When Mingrui's marriage is decided, we will go to tell my mother, ask a Baoshan to go to Chang Ningbo's house to propose, and then see what Mrs. Chang Ningbo means, if she is not afraid of her daughter's reputation being damaged, I will ......"
Xue Chongyi hurriedly said: "It can't be like this, it's a matter of the relationship between the two families, and you can't break it." ”
Second Mrs. Xue said, "Then what do you say?" You can't fail to do this. ”
Xue Chongyi couldn't think of a way, so he could only shake his head, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it then." ”
Second Mrs. Xue was worried about Xue Chongyi's affairs, no matter how big or small the family matters were, she had to ask about them, and she didn't say anything on the surface, just waited until Xue Chongyi went to the study to read, found Li Li's family next to her, and asked her to send someone to Changningbo Mansion to find out about the situation, and come back to tell her about it.
……
After Xue Mingrui, the Marquis of Wumu, and Rongchuan, the prince of Dingnan Bo, finished speaking, they got up and came out of the courtyard of Dingnan Bo's house, the garden was clean and there were no others, if it wasn't for the convenience of talking, they wouldn't have stayed away from the capital to come here.
"Let them worry about these things, with Mr. Lu here, they can always think about it, and now there is still time, the third brother might as well go with me to sit on the painting boat on the outskirts of Beijing for a while and then go back."
Xue Mingrui glanced at Rong Chuan, "The city gate will be closed in a little later, and tomorrow we will have to go to the morning court." ”
Rong Chuan was suddenly disappointed, "When will the third brother's mansion be cleaned up, we don't have to come to such a far place, we don't even have a place to eat and drink." ”
The two of them got on the horse as they spoke, Xue Mingrui rode his horse and ran in front, and Rong Chuan reluctantly followed.
Xue Mingrui asked, "How did you ask last time?" ”
Rong Chuan said: "That person's name is Gu Ying, I don't know where I got the evidence to catch Tao Zhengan......" Rong Chuan glanced at Xue Mingrui, "One is related to Su Xiyao, and the other I haven't inquired about yet, I only know that Gu Ying wants to be the Tao family's Chenglong fast son-in-law through this." Speaking of this, Rong Chuan laughed, "I don't think it's that simple, this Gu Ying didn't make up for the experience of the General Administration Department through the relationship of the Tao family, and she will post a document in the next two days." ”
"Maybe what Gu Ying is holding in her hand is not only Tao Zhengan's shortcomings." Speaking of this, Rong Chuan glanced at Xue Mingrui, "You don't care about this matter?" ”
Xue Mingrui looked at the road ahead, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you know who Gu Ying wants to marry?" ”
Rong Chuan said: "The Tao family naturally wants to marry the concubine to him. ”
Xue Mingrui remembered the appearance of the eighth lady of the Tao family, with bright eyes and calm and calm.
"Gu Ying refuses."
Rong Chuan wanted to sell it, but Xue Mingrui didn't want to say anything.
Rong Chuan said: "Naturally, I don't want to." ”
Xue Mingrui had no expression on his face, but the hand holding the reins paused slightly.
Rong Chuan continued: "I heard that I have asked someone to ask Miss Tao Er. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Mingrui didn't ask anything else.
Rong Chuan smiled slightly, he had already got the answer he wanted.
……
Most of the people in Tao Mansion fell asleep, and Tao Zhengan came back from outside, and the little guy next to him said: "Mother Chen just came here, and the eldest lady left a door for the master." ”
Tao Zhengan said "um", and there was no follow-up.
After a while, someone from the old lady's side came and said, "The old lady is waiting for the master."
Tao Zhengan changed his clothes and hurriedly went to the old lady.
The old lady's warm pavilion was lit up, Rui Qing directly led the old man to the warm pavilion, and the maids retreated after tea.
The old lady looked at Tao Zheng'an and drank tea, and then asked, "How did that happen?" ”
Tao Zhengan shook his head, "Still no eyebrows." ”
The old lady said: "It's not easy to buy a crime, there are still many people who are willing to sell their lives in this year, just let Gu Ying beat people to death, Gu Ying can still quibble in front of everyone, and it will be better to do it in prison, find a way to make Gu Ying confess the whereabouts of those evidence." ”
Tao Zhengan said: "I'm just afraid that he is not the only one here, with Gu Ying's ability, he can't get those evidence, I always have to know who the person behind him is." ”
The old lady saw Tao Zhengan's eyes flickering, "What else is there to hide from me?" ”
Tao Zheng'an swallowed at this time, "The Holy Lord has invited the Taoist priest to refine the golden stone pill according to the previous method, and the courtiers have advised it several times to no avail, I am afraid that if there is an accident in the past two years, it will involve the previous matter." ”
The old lady frowned, "I told you not to associate with those people, but you just refused to listen, you just said how the Naxi people are favored." ”
Tao Zhengan said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I have a letter to the Westerners, and I don't know who it is." ”
The old lady said: "I knew that there was such a thing, otherwise you wouldn't have panicked to this point, otherwise you would have formed a marriage with Wu Muhou, and the matter between you and Su Xiyao will be watched by the Hou Ye?" ”
Tao Zhengan lowered his head.
The old lady sighed, "What are you going to do about the eight girls?" ”
Tao Zhengan said: "This is the Hou Ye we want to climb, Hou Ye took a fancy to Rong Hua and asked the guarantor to say the item, it is all in line with the etiquette law, what else do I have to say, it just depends on how the Hou Mansion decides." ”
The old lady sneered, "Fortunately, you won't be as confused as your daughter-in-law." The Hou Mansion sent Baoshan to come again, so he wrote the eight characters of the eight girls in the past, and went back to ask your daughter-in-law not to do anything else......"
Speaking of the eldest wife, Tao Zhengan's face turned pale, "It's better for my mother to tell her."
The old lady looked at Tao Zheng'an's appearance, and no longer embarrassed him, "She is also in a hurry, and you don't always have to hold a shelf." ”
The old lady mentioned Yaohua again, "Have you ever thought about what Gu Ying should do if she mentions the second girl again?" ”
Tao Zhengan said: "I don't know what's going on, it's rumored that Yaohua's disease is serious outside, and I have taken a fancy to a few relatives, but I haven't been able to do so after opening my mouth a few times." ”
The old lady was silent for a while when she heard this, and then said: "Your second old lady's distant relative, there is a filial piety, and they all say that they are extremely ugly, I just feel wronged by the second girl." ”
Tao Zhengan said: "I'll think of a way again." ”
Tao Zhengan came out of the house, unwilling to go to the courtyard of the eldest lady, so he unconsciously walked to the courtyard where the old lady was recuperating, and thought of a few aunts around him as he walked.
The most sorry is the second aunt, before the second aunt died, she only begged him to take care of the fifth lady Ronghua, but she didn't expect him to ...... Thinking of this, Tao Zhengan became more and more resentful of the eldest wife, if the eldest lady stopped him at that time, how could it be like this...... There is also the matter of the fourth aunt......
He has to remember every stroke for her.
Tao Zhengan unconsciously walked into a courtyard. The people in the house heard the footsteps outside and opened the door, and when they saw the comer, they couldn't help but shout in surprise, "Master." ”
Tao Zhengan came back to his senses and saw his aunt by the light.
……
On the second day, Mrs. Ren really came, and the old lady came forward to talk to Mrs. Ren in person, and wrote Rong Hua's birthday in eight characters.
Mrs. Ren still said the same as before, "Miss Eight looks good, and her general knowledge is good." The old lady understood, and said with a smile: "Our eighth lady was recorded in the name of the eldest lady early in the morning. ”
That's to the point, at least on the big picture, there is no longer a distinction between concubines and concubines.
Mrs. Ren immediately smiled, and before leaving, she left the birthday of Wumuhou Xue Mingrui, and the old lady also found the well-known Mr. Yin and Yang in Gyeonggi to join the eight characters.
Mr. Yin and Yang carefully calculated for a long time, and replied: "Congratulations to the old lady, this is a first-class marriage, there is nothing to taboo, and he explained it in detail." ”
The old lady ordered someone to take the reward money and wrap it in red paper for Mr. Yin and Yang, and after Mr. Yin and Yang left, let Rui Qing accompany her to see Yaohua.
The old lady entered the room and saw Rong Hua sitting on the edge of Yaohua's bed and softly persuading, "Sister, you should pay more attention to your body, the old lady and Mrs. will love you again, and the sisters will care about you again, but no one can replace you." ”
The old lady said: "That's what your sister said, you don't know how old she is." ”
Rong Hua heard the old lady's voice and hurriedly got up and saluted.
The old lady looked at Rong Hua and smiled, "What a good boy, you have been serving decoction at your mother's place these days, and today I came to see your sister again, I don't think there is anyone in this house who is better than you." ”
Yaohua was lying between the beds, her nose was full of the strong smell of medicinal soup, and the light gauze curtain beside the bed seemed to be pale and colorless, and there was really a kind of gloom and coldness. Rong Hua, who was standing in front of the bed, was full of pink, a pair of wonderful eyes flashed with dazzling light, and her grandmother looked at Rong Hua with pity, and the two of them whispered to her, but they forgot about her.
Rong Hua looked sideways, Yaohua was "delicate" several times to stand up, and found that no one paid attention and lay down again. Rong Hua couldn't help but smile slightly.
The old lady said, "You happen to be here, and I have something to tell you in a moment." The grandfather and grandson exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and the old lady lowered her head to ask about Yaohua's situation.
"Yesterday, Lao Tzu came back and said that it was rumored that your old illness had recurred, and I was sad to hear it, but now you have to fight for some anger, and the illness on your body will be cured as soon as possible."
Rong Hua heard this, and then looked at Yaohua's face, Yaohua's face was really bad. Yaohua eagerly came up with such a way to win the old lady's sympathy, but she didn't expect the consequences, now everyone outside knows that the second lady's old illness has relapsed, which family is willing to marry a sick person as a daughter-in-law? What's more, the eldest sister has not given birth to a boy and a half girl to her eldest brother-in-law, and Yaohua's situation may not even be able to live well, let alone pass on the lineage.
Zhao Xuanhuan and Yaohua have had a "private meeting" for a while, and the eldest sister must have bothered to say anything when she went back, but she didn't see any action from the Zhao family, I was afraid that the eldest sister would threaten with her life, and the Zhao family would be in the way of face, so it would not be necessarily.
After watching Yaohua, the old lady and Ronghua went to the West House to talk.
The old lady smiled kindly and said to Rong Hua: "You have never entered the family tree since you have been in the foreign mansion, and today I will tell your father to send you to your mother's name." ”
Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
The old lady stood up and helped Rong Hua up with her own hands, "I blame you Lao Tzu for not taking you into the mansion earlier, our ancestors and grandchildren have only met a few times, and this is going to be ......" The words were no longer hidden.
Rong Hua's cheeks turned even redder.
The two of them were talking here, and when they heard a rapid cough from Yaohua's side, the old lady and Rong Hua hurriedly went over to look.
