Chapter 230: The Problem of Spices

The Hu family is not bad for several sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. Mrs. Zeng didn't know what to say, so her husband asked her to stay away. She did. Zeng Erniangzi, Zeng Sanniang came back less, Zeng Siniangzi often came to the door, every time she brought gifts, and she spoke well, and the old aunt Mo Niang would come to things, and often went to serve her mother-in-law. This made the Hu family look at Zeng Siniang more and more differently, and he was especially good to her.

Hu Shi smiled and said to Zeng Siniang: "Fourth sister, you have to bring a gift every time you come back, in fact, why bother? We are all close family, isn't this rusty? ”

Zeng Siniangzi said: "This is not a gift I gave to my brother and sister-in-law. This is my father-in-law and mother-in-law thinking that the New Year is coming, and our Fuchun Marquis Mansion wants to prepare some things for the next year, where can there be no less spices? In this case, instead of buying from outside, it is better to use our home. Therefore, the high-quality agarwood, incense, and rue incense sent here are the top things in our family, which are similar to those in the palace. ”

"I originally wanted to postpone it, but this is also a piece of my in-laws' heart, but it's not easy to retreat, so I brought it. Sister-in-law let's see how it goes. ”

Hu said: "Master Gu and Mrs. Gu are really too polite. The fourth sister went back to thank them on my behalf. ”

Zeng Siniang responded with a smile.

Zeng Yukun's face softened and said, "The fourth sister came over today, it was a letter from the fifth sister, right?" The fifth sister also gave me a letter and asked me to wait, so I won't go to the yamen today, and when the fifth sister finishes speaking, I will go to the yamen. ”

Zeng Siniang sighed in her heart, what the hell is going on? It's so serious that the eldest brother has to delay going to the yamen for this matter?

Zeng Siniang muttered in her heart, but with a smile on her face: "I don't know what is going on?" When I received the letter from my fifth sister, I still muttered in my heart. ”

Hu said: "I'll know what is going on when the fifth sister comes back." However, I estimate that the fifth sister will not be able to come back early at this time, and her big family affairs, now the national teacher has no time to take care of it, and it all depends on her to take care of it. Before, there were two aunts and sisters who helped manage it, but now that these are married, there is only one sister-in-law left, who is still a young one, where is the best use. She is the only one in everything, where can she make time so early? Fourth sister, you better follow me to the old lady's place to sit down first. ”

Zeng Siniang smiled and said, "Okay, listen to my sister-in-law." It just so happened that I made my mother a shirt with fragrant cloud yarn and took it to see if it fit. ”

Hu Shi smiled and said, "The fourth sister has a heart. ”

The two sisters-in-law went to the backyard to visit Pon's together. Got to Pon's. The sick look on Pond's face is long gone. She took the elixir brought back by Zeng Yutong, the elixir nourished her body, and she had already made up for the deficit in her early years. Now, Begonia has long since died, Master Zeng lives in the suburbs, and those unsightly aunts have followed them to the suburbs one by one. Now, it is her son who is in charge of the house, and the only concubine is married well. Everything goes well, and she naturally becomes more and more energetic.

Pang was originally a gentle person, and he has always been very good to the concubine, and he is even better and better for this Zeng Siniang, who comes back from time to time to be filial, and Pang tried on the clothes, praised Zeng Siniang, and gave Zeng Siniang some newly rewarded silk in the palace. Let's talk about it, time flies quickly.

It was almost noon that Zeng Yutong returned home. She came over to say hello to her mother first, and saw that her mother was getting better and better, and her spirit was good, so she was naturally in a happy mood, and after talking to her mother, she went to the main house of the Hu family in the front yard with her sister-in-law and the fourth sister.

Where to go, Zeng Yukun was already waiting. The family, brothers and sisters exchanged a few words, and Zeng Yukun asked Zeng Yutong what happened.

Zeng Yutong said: "Yesterday, the National Teacher was already out of the city. This time, something big might happen in the Star Picking Tower, so the national teacher rushed over urgently and just said to the outside that he wanted to fast. Just know it in your hearts, and don't say it. ”

Zeng Yukun's expression tightened. He is Qin Mingyue's descendant, and now, Qin Mingyue is not there, he naturally knows the severity, and thinks in his heart, before, the matter of letting the imperial history of his camp come forward to impeach a courtier under King Jin should be slowed down. Everything will wait for the national teacher to return to the capital.

Zeng Yutong looked at his brother's expression and knew that his brother already knew the severity.

Zeng Yutong still said to his sister-in-law Hu: "My sister-in-law manages housework, and she must restrain her subordinates more, and she must be low-key during this period of time and not cause trouble." ”

Hu solemnly agreed.

Zeng Yutong said to his brother again: "Big brother, our Zeng family's clansmen, you also have to restrain yourself." Outside the city, my father will also say hello. ”

Zeng Yukun nodded.

Then Zeng Yutong said to Zeng Siniang again: "Fourth sister, you can also tell your in-laws when you go back, and ask your brother-in-law to pay attention to this period of time." ”

Zeng Siniangzi nodded.

Zeng Yutong said again: "Also, fourth sister, your Gu family has always supplied spices to the palace. Spices, at certain times, are prone to cause problems. Now, in the imperial court, there are things in the Star Picking Tower, and at this time, the national teacher told me that maybe there will be something in the palace, especially Wan Zhaoyi. You have to pay attention to your family. Even if you do less business during this period of time, you must be cautious and low-key, and don't get into trouble. If you really encounter something, you must tell Concubine Li. Now, the only one who can shelter you is Concubine Li. Well, it's best, these days, you send someone to contact Concubine Li's subordinates to see what Niangniang means. ”

Zeng Siniang's heart sank, this is the big thing. What happened in the Star Picking Tower is related to the court, but for a small imperial merchant in her family, there is no big hindrance, but the things in the palace are closely related to their family. Especially the fifth sister also pointed out Wan Zhaoyi's pregnancy, thinking about it, this matter will lead to incidents.

The palace is now full of mountains, and the struggle is very fierce, outsiders may know less, and their own Gu family has received a lot of news because of the supply of spices in the palace. This is a big deal, so I must go back and discuss it with my own family.

Zeng Siniang hurriedly said: "Thank you Fifth Sister, I will definitely tell my in-laws." ”

Zeng Yutong said: "Okay, fourth sister, I don't have any major matters here, you better go back and discuss it with your family." It's not too late. ”

Hearing what her sister said, Zeng Siniang was even more flustered, she didn't postpone it, she hurriedly said goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law, and went back.
