Chapter 40: Crossword (II)

Amber was stunned: "I don't know! ”

She never thought about it.

Eleven Niang's eyes lit up.

Finally saw a glimmer of light!

"The people in the house can be brought from Yuhang's hometown, but the driver who drives the car can't be brought from his hometown." She smiled and said to Amber, "You take two taels of silver tomorrow, and let the driver help buy some famous food in Yanjing." Take this opportunity to ask him, do you know if you have the Leping Jiang family? ”

Amber hesitated: "How can a person who is in a hurry know about the Leping Jiang family?" ”

"You grew up in the inner courtyard, and there are some things you don't know." Eleven Niang smiled, "If you want to be well-informed, no one can compare to the porter and the sedan chair man." They go from village to village, they know a lot of people, they have seen a lot of things, and Yanjing can't escape their eyes and ears even if they are a little troubled. Just go and say hello. You can even inquire about the fact that the prince killed someone. Speaking of this, she frowned slightly, "Since the maids of the Xu family know about it, it is impossible for these people not to know." Her voice gradually lowered, "If you're lucky, maybe why hasn't the prince married a wife...... There will be some rumors coming out! ”

Amber nodded and walked away.

Holly was very depressed: "Miss, that prince ...... No matter why, if you kill someone, you are not a good person after all. It's better for you to send the message to that idea! ”

"I know." Eleven Niang smiled bitterly, "People always have a kind of luck mentality." I feel that there is a future and I will meet a better one, so I hesitated, hesitated, and hesitated...... But when there is no future, you can only look at the present! ”

Holly was very puzzled: "Miss, you are ......"

"It's okay, it's okay." Eleven Niang waved her hand, "Let's go to bed early, I've been shopping all day today, I'm really tired!" ”

******

At the beginning of the next day, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang went to say hello to the eldest lady. The eldest lady had already gotten up, and there were cages in the room, and the eldest lady sat on the Luohan bed, listening to the eldest grandmother and Mother Xu holding the account book to the contents of the cage, and the sixth aunt was serving with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Seeing them come in, the eldest lady just raised her eyelids: "It's here!" ”

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to greet the eldest lady and grandmother.

"I'm busy here, you guys go down and rest!" The eldest lady's tone was light.

Everyone knows that Liu Ge is now a scholar, but the three masters of the Luo family are all idle at home...... live with your heartstrings tight. Who dares to ask more and say more in front of the eldest lady.

The two bowed their knees and retreated.

Wu Niang asked the cuckoo who sent them out: "What is this?" ”

The cuckoo whispered: "Give a gift!" ”

Wu Niang's eyes were bright: "Where is it for Master Hou?" ”

Cuckoo shook his head: "I don't know! ”

Wu Niang's eyes darkened, and she was a little disappointed, and she sent Ziwei to walk in front of Luo Qiao, but Luo Qiao had a forsythia in front of her, and her tone was very tight, and she couldn't ask anything. I just saw that the eldest man and the eldest lady were very busy - the eldest man went out early and returned late every day, and the eldest lady often took the eldest grandmother to count the cages.

During this period, the eldest lady went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion twice. Leave Wu Niang and Eleven Niang at home, only take Xu's mother, go after lunch break, and return before dinner. As usual, he brought a few boxes of snacks or a few rulers.

This made Eleven Niang very concerned - who knows what the purpose of the eldest lady is?

From time to time, she would stop the needlework in her hand and be in a dark daze.

Fortunately, there was news from Amber's side: "...... Wang Gongzi came out of Cuihua Hutong early in the morning, and an old man selling vegetables happened to pass in front of him. I don't know the ground, Wang Gongzi was angry and ...... the old man who sold vegetables Later, the fifth master of the Xu family came forward and accompanied him with 1,000 taels of silver, and the people did not sue the official and did not hold them accountable, so it was settled. As she spoke, she showed a little hesitation on her face, "I told the coachman that I was originally from Yanjing, and when the old lady died, I was taken back to Yuhang by the second wife, and later rewarded the young lady." I have been staying in Yuhang for the past few years. There was a younger sister who worked as an errand ...... in the Maoguo Mansion."

That's a good excuse!

Eleven Niang looked at Amber with a few appreciations.

"Who knows, when the coachman heard this, he hurriedly told me, you should quickly find a way to go to the Maoguo Mansion to have a look! Just last month, there were two maids in their family - one died of illness, and the other fell into a well. You haven't been in Beijing for three or four years, who knows if your sister is dead or alive? ”

Eleven Niang couldn't hide her surprise.

Amber also had a fine sweat on her forehead: "Miss, why don't I secretly go to the Maoguo Mansion?" I said I was going to find my sister. The coachman also said, if I want to go, change my clothes, he borrowed a friend's car, and it will take an hour. As long as the affairs of the inner house are arranged, God will not know the ghosts. ”

"Nope." Shi Niang flatly refused, "His idea is indeed good." But if he pulls you somewhere else, he'll be just as unaware. ”

Amber stopped talking.

Eleven Niang's expression was solemn, and she said solemnly: "This matter, stop here." Don't mention anything about going to the Maoguo Mansion to find out the news! ”

Amber had no choice but to comply.

Shi Niang looked a little reluctant to look at her, and repeatedly told a few words like "Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years", and asked about the Jiang family: "...... What can I see? ”

Amber hurriedly said: "The Jiang family has a five-entry house in Shishi Hutong. Now there are Jiang Hanlin and several children of the Jiang family who came to study in the country. They have a strict family style and are very humble to others. The little sixth son said that he had a familiar coachman once passed by Shishi Hutong, and someone suddenly came out of the alley, and he hurriedly pulled the reins, and the man was so frightened that he sat on the ground. His friend saw that although the man was dressed very plainly, he had white teeth and red lips, and his hand was whiter and more beautiful than the girl's. Who knew that the boy not only did not blame, but also gave him a tael of silver to suppress the shock. He didn't dare to take it. The boy gave him and left. He was afraid that it would be a 'fairy jump'. I went to inquire and knew that it was the son of the Jiang family. The man also said, since it was given by the son of the Jiang family, you can take it directly. They're not the kind of people who bully people. He took it happily. I also told my relatives and friends everywhere. ”

Therefore, Wang Lang's affairs are not willing to be taken care of by the Jiang family?

Eleven Niang thought about it and asked Amber, "Who is Little Liuzi?" Do you know about 'Immortal Jump'? ”

Amber's face was slightly red, and she said with some uneasiness: "The coachman our family hired is called Xiao Liuzi. 'Immortal Jump', he told me, that he set a trap to let those who are greedy for small and cheap people be deceived and suffer big losses......"

Shi Niang laughed, and thought of the completely different styles of Wang and Jiang, and the smile on her face couldn't help but be suppressed.

How did these two get married?

The thought flashed, and she couldn't help but ponder.

Marriage should pay attention to the right family, help each other, and speak with one voice......

Why did the Luo family marry the Wang family?

If you want to let the sisters have a good home, you can know from the scales and half-claws you heard that this Wang Lang is not a good person. If it was for power, even the maids of the Xu family knew that the Maoguo Mansion was down, and it was impossible for Yuan Niang not to know. It would be more cost-effective to marry those officials who have died and hold real power as a stepfamily.

Moreover, according to the general situation, Luo Yuanniang should focus all her energy on how to maximize the interests of Brother Zhen if she dies at this time, how can she spare her energy to protect her sister who has not met for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang was shocked.

Yes, at this time, everything Luo Yuanniang thinks and does should be for Brother Zhen...... So, what are the benefits of this family business for Brother Chen?

The Luo family, the Wang family, the Xu family, the Jiang family...... Like a marquee, it kept spinning in Eleven Niang's mind.

She asked herself: What would she do if she were Luo Yuanniang?

When I thought about it, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Internally, find a steproom that can be mastered by the Luo family to ensure that Brother Zhen grows up smoothly. Externally, seek strong support and determine the position of Brother Chen's son as soon as possible. After all, Brother Zhen is the son-in-law born to Xu Lingyi's wife, and he is more noble than the son-in-law born to the stepfamily, and he is the first heir to the title.

Now, I have an idea about Nei Yuanniang. That's ...... to the outside world

Eleven Niang couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

Jiang Jia...... A family that can be clean and self-loving, low-key and introverted, and a prestigious family with a clean reputation...... He doesn't need him to cover up, he just needs to stand up and say a fair word for Brother Zhen at a critical time. But at the same time, he is also a political family. Such a person has its own measure of what they say and do...... How can you tie this family to Brother Zhen?

The best way, of course, is to get married!

It just so happened that Mao Guogong had a daughter who married into the Jiang family, and a son needed to marry a daughter-in-law......

She smiled bitterly: "Does the Jiang family have a daughter?" How many daughters do you have? Without waiting for Amber to answer, she muttered, "Of course there is a daughter." Otherwise, why go around so many circles......"

Amber hurriedly said, "Why don't I go and ask Xiao Liuzi again?" ”

Shi Niang shook her head, "One time is enough, don't inquire about anything again." As he spoke, he pointed to the east, "so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

Amber nodded hurriedly: "I see." ”

Shi Niang bowed her head slightly, and said with a smile: "You go and rest!" ”

She had to think about it, what should she do about it?

Amber stepped back and met Emerald head-on.

"Why did my sister come here?" She smiled and beckoned Jade to go to the West Wing where she lived.

Jade smiled and shook her head: "I'm here to invite Miss Eleven - the third lady is here, bringing the fifth and sixth masters, and is drinking tea at the eldest lady's place." The eldest lady asked me to say hello to Miss 5 and Miss 11, and go over and say goodbye. ”

Amber smiled and nodded, waited for Jade to go to Wu Niang to pass on the words of the eldest lady, and then accompanied her to Eleven Niang.

Knowing the meaning of Jadeite's coming, Eleven Niang packed up and followed Jade to the eldest lady with Amber.

Compared with when she was in Yuhang, the twenty-seven-year-old third wife was obviously much haggard.

After Eleven Niang saluted her, the fifth and sixth masters who were standing aside smiled and shouted "Eleventh Sister".

(On duty tonight.) It is said that there may be a flood split...... )
