Chapter 147: Dong's hanging beam commits suicide

After hearing this, the old lady thought so, so she asked Mama Tang if there was a suitable candidate, so Mama Tang mentioned the third master's wife, Liang.

A few days ago, the old lady received a letter from the third master, saying that she would ask the Lu Feng Dart Bureau to send Liang and her son Bai He home in the near future, and the letter said that in the past year, Ji'er's articles and riding and archery kung fu have made great progress, but there are few good academies in the north, so she wants her son to go back to Yangzhou to study Chengxu.

Although the "women's department" of Chengxu Academy can only be admitted after a strict examination, the "men's department" is a universal education that can be read if you have money, and the men's department has produced a Wenbang eye and martial arts detective Sun Yanbin of Yangzhou Sun Mansion in the past few days, which makes Chengxu also rise and fall, faintly suppressing the Yinghui Academy in the capital, which is also the main reason why the third master wants to send his son to Chengxu to study.

The third master's wife, Liang, is twenty-seven years old this year, and has been in the Luo family for more than five years, and has not yet come out, and the second young master Luo Baihe, who was born to the former wife, has always lived with the nurse and is not raised by the Liang family. So, Mama Tang gave birth to a beautiful idea, one is the chick Ah Yi who has lost the protection of the hen, and the other is the hen Liang's mother who has not yet pan eggs, as if two semicircles are paired into a perfect circle, which is a match made in heaven!

And when the old lady was about to nod her head in agreement, Miss Ji suddenly knocked on the door and came in, and the news came from Liulitang that the young grandmother had committed suicide!

"What, the eldest cousin committed suicide?" He Angelica was slightly surprised, and the scissors for cutting his hair also paused, "Then why do you still have time to come to me, why don't you go to the second aunt's place to discuss the funeral report to Fuzhou?" ”

"Uh," Mama Tang choked and said, "Although the young grandmother committed suicide, but she didn't die, the thing is like this, according to Qiaoshu's report, her master suddenly drove everyone out of the glass hall, and she extinguished all the lights inside, and after a while, there was the sound of a stool falling to the ground inside, and all of them rushed in, and they saw the eldest young grandmother hanging on the beam of the house, floating around, her face like gold paper, and her soul returned to the nine shadows!" ”

“…… And then? ”

"Then I was saved."

He Angelica was still a little surprised: "Since I was saved, why does my mother still have time to visit me?" The eldest cousin's side must be in a mess at this moment, I remember you said that next month your cousin's mother's family is going to come to Yangzhou to visit the lake, how can we let them see that the cousin's face is like gold paper, and there is a blood mark on her neck? ”

Mama Tang nodded again and again, stroked her palms and said, "That's exactly the truth, what the third lady said is reasonable!" ”

"Mama means ......"

"Oh, that's the case," Mama Tang said, "The eldest young grandmother misses Brother Zhu very much during her illness and wants to take Brother Zhu with her to take care of her, but Dr. Wu said that since Brother Zhu followed you, the situation has been getting better day by day, so the old lady asked me to ask you, are you willing to take Brother Zhu to Liulitang to take care of you for two days?" ”

He Angelica combed the ends of his hair with his fingers and said with a smile: "Go to Liulitang to take care of it...... I'm very willing, but whether the eldest cousin and Brother Zhu are willing, let's wait and see. ”

Seeing that the third lady did not reject it, Mama Tang couldn't help but say happily: "Then this matter is settled!" And one more thing, the old lady asked me to ask you, what did you hear last night? It is...... Tea with the Assassins last night...... The old lady whispered to you. ”

"Huh? That," He Angelica tilted his head, "I vaguely heard the 'bluestone slab' or something, I was very nervous at the time, I was only thinking about how to pour tea without shaking my hands, how could I still care about chatting with my ancestors." ”

Mama Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't hear clearly? You forgot about the third young lady, and the object at the bluestone slab is gone. “

"Okay, then I'll forget." He Angelica took a sip of osmanthus dew and asked, "Mama, Jiugu, do you still want to drink it?" You're welcome, I've done a lot of this. ”

The two waved their hands together, and Jiugu explained: "Although this thing is fragrant and fragrant, and it is also delicious in my mouth, but I have been cold in my stomach for the past two days, so I won't ask the third lady much, don't blame." ”

He Angelica smiled: "Where did the ninth aunt say, it turned out that I didn't greet me well, ah, just now I just wanted to ask Cicada Yi to boil water to make tea, who knew that this little girl turned her head and ran away, maybe she was lazy somewhere, wait for me to tell her to boil water!" "Just now, it was clear that Mama Tang came and drove away the cicada clothes and a group of maids, He Angelica is really talking nonsense with his eyes open now.

Hearing this, Mama Tang pressed her back on the stool and said, "Third Miss, don't worry, I have other things to ask you, what are you afraid of if you drink hot tea once." ”

She was reminded by her own words, thinking of the lack of hot water here in Taoyao Courtyard, she came once in a while to drink less hot water, and the third lady here has to burn drinking water and bath water in autumn and winter, Mama Tang thought about it for a while, and said: "The fire room is under the care of the second wife, and we don't want to put anything in the beak, so the hot water to drink in this cold month is still burned by Taoyao Courtyard itself, anyway, there are few of you and you drink less water, and the old slave will transfer two fire girls from the old lady; And the bath water ...... Although the old slave has no right to let the third lady go to the hot spring to wash, but the old lady's spring water in Ganjiu Spring is very rich, and it is wasted if it is put aside. ”

The more He Angelica listened, the more surprised he became, he didn't expect such a good thing to fall from the sky coldly and hit his head impartially. Although she knew that there was nothing wrong with her ears, she couldn't help but confirm again: "Two cars a day, the hot spring water from the ancestor's special spring?" Mama, did I hear me right? ”

Among the three springs in Luofu, the old lady's mouth has the best quality, the largest water output, the best concentration and temperature, not to mention the various tonic herbs added all year round. Although Mama Tang's reason is "it's wasted if you put it aside", but it has been wasted for so many years, why did she suddenly cheapen herself in vain, in the previous life, the Dong, Zhao, and Liang families all wanted to take water from that spring, but I didn't see anyone who did it in the end...... Could it be that it is really for the reward? Hehe.

Mama Tang's eyes narrowed with a smile, patted Miss San's shoulder and said, "Yes, yes!" Come, I'll help you fix your hair," said Mama Tang picked up the scissors and clicked, and she also noticed a large piece of black hair on the ground for the first time since she entered the house, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Ah, how can you cut so much hair properly, this is not lucky!" ”

He Angelica lied and said: "My hair is too long and troublesome to wash, so I cut it in half, and now there is a hot water supply, and I will never cut my hair again." ”

Tsk, Mama Tang secretly bowed a tear of sympathy in her heart, sure enough, it was a motherless baby like grass, because she couldn't take a bath, even a shiny black hair was cut off...... After two days, when the third lady returns home, she has to make a good match to let the third lady recognize her godmother and enjoy some maternal love from the third wife.

Looking at Miss San's thin shoulders and thin body, Mama Tang felt pity, and since last night's incident, her good impression of Miss San has deepened, she only felt that Miss San was well-behaved and cowardly, but she didn't expect that there would be a hard side when something happened. You must know that after seeing the assassin hero's ability to split the table in the air, even her old servant, who has a wide vision, is half-buried in the loess, and is willing to die for her master if necessary, is so frightened that her legs and stomach tremble...... Such a good lady with a beautiful appearance, exquisite heart, and empathy, no wonder she was favored by that Ning Gongzi.

"As for the third lady, your monthly silver, public meals, tailoring rewards, and all daily necessities," Mama Tang continued the topic just now, "The old slave has already used the name of the old lady to directly inform the relevant housekeeper, and I will never miss the third lady in the future." Although this matter has not been passed by the second wife, she will inevitably feel a little unhappy after she knows it, but the old slave just heard that the second wife returned to her parents' house in a panic yesterday, it turned out that Sun Yanbin, the fifth young master of the Sun family, came back from Beizhili. It's really a powerful character with both civil and military skills! ”

He Angelica tilted his head: "Wenbang eye, Wu Tanhua?" "Strange, I've never heard of this in my previous life.

"Ah, Miss San, don't move your head, otherwise you won't be able to cut it evenly." Mama Tang clicked and said, "I want to come to the second wife because she has such a competitive brother, so she can't care about being angry with you, originally you lived in the courtyard of the fourth lady is also the old lady's idea, no wonder the third lady you, but the second wife treats you like this, and she also has her good intentions in it, the third miss, you also have to learn to be considerate." ”

"This is natural," He Angelica twisted his hands together in his sleeves, "I've been back to the house for a few days, and I haven't had time to visit my second aunt, and every time I think of it, I feel sad in my heart, why don't I go and say hello to my second aunt in the name of congratulations?" He Angelica remembered that at this time in his last life, every time he went to ask Sun for peace, three of the five times he was sent away without even seeing him. Another time they were holding a poetry tea party in the Baoqin Pavilion, and the laughter continued, and after she was a maid, she waited at the door for half an hour and did not see anyone come to welcome her into the door, so she couldn't help but sneak in by herself, and through the hollow part in the middle of the flower wall, she was far envious of those peers who were laughing together.

And Sun's back-tongued woman, this end didn't want to see her, but the other end ran to the old lady to complain, all the young ladies and young masters in the house were respectful to themselves, and there were invitations and filial piety every once in a while, and even a few years old Xiaozhu Ge'er also made a garland to play with herself, only that Sister Yi, her eyes were on the top of her head, and she didn't know how to shout when she saw people, and there was no her in the morning and dusk every day, Yunyun. Hearing this, the old lady shook her head and sighed, turned her head and went to educate He Angelica, respect the elders, be able to shout when you see people, and have a sweeter mouth, and your second aunt will hurt you a little more.

Now, He Angelica took the initiative to ask to say goodbye to the woman of the Sun family, and reported one to Mama Tang first, so that there would be a witness when she returned.

"Third Miss is going to ask for peace?" Mama Tang frowned and hesitated, "Don't slow down anymore, the second wife has been on the rise in the past two days, and there are many visitors from outside the mansion to congratulate her...... Let's not disturb her good spirits. The so-called "we" actually refers to the "three young ladies" alone.

He Angelica smiled and lowered his eyes, and he also said that the people in Luofu in his previous life were blind, and he could clearly see that he was "unable" to ask for peace and was rejected from the door, rather than "refusing" to ask for peace, but he still blindly said that he did not respect his aunt and was not grateful. It turns out that their hearts are like mirrors, but they are blind in their eyes. He Angelica said: "In this case, then I will wait for my second aunt to come over and then ask for peace, and congratulate him in my heart first...... By the way, how old is this Uncle Sun from the Wenwu Imperial Examination High School this year, where did he read the books and practice martial arts, he is so powerful. ”

Seeing that the third young lady chose not to hinder the eyes of the second lady reasonably, Mama Tang was relieved in her heart, and explained in detail to the third lady: "The fifth young master Sun Yanbin is twenty-four this year, only two years older than the eldest young master, but he is an uncle who does great things. A few years ago, he came back from the northwest, and it is said that he followed a Geng master as a master, studied in Chengxu for less than a year, and then turned his head to take the civil and military examinations, and he was in high school at one time! This is something that we can't even think of in our family. ”

"Lord Geng?"

"yes."

"What's official?"

"I don't know," Mama Tang shook her head and asked rhetorically, "Huh?" Third Miss, you know what to do so clearly, anyway, you don't know who it is. ”

He Angelica knew that he was speechless, and said with a smile: "Since I can't say hello to my second aunt, why don't I just make trouble with my second sister, her fifth uncle is now famous, and she must be happy on the sickbed." ”

"Sickbed?" Mama Tang was surprised, and even the scissors under her hand stopped, "Second Miss is sick?" The old slave didn't know! ”

He Angelica is even more strange: "Huh? Didn't the second sister's leg break even the bones yesterday, we all saw it in person, how can Mama not know! ”

After the old lady and the third lady were abducted yesterday, the second miss got up and ran away, which was seen by everyone in the palace, but the third miss never saw it, so she still thought that the second miss really broke her leg. The third lady was a little stupid, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was pretending.

However, Mama Tang didn't want to expose this matter, as soon as the good time for the Sun family came, their Luo family should love the people who have a relationship with the Sun family more than in the past, and this slightly embarrassing thing will be covered up and not mentioned; Second, the second miss is a child, who can ask her to go up and deal with the gangsters like a gentleman? The second wife cultivated her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female black tea skills, but she never taught her to make swords.

The old lady was originally a little angry, but after some persuasion by Mama Tang, she thought that she was her own granddaughter after all, so she had to teach her slowly. However, for the eldest granddaughter Luo Baiying, the old lady is angry, this granddaughter has been like a granddaughter since she was a child, and she is two points closer to her than to Sister Shao. The same temper with this granddaughter is only a small part of the reason, and the biggest reason is because she was born with the disease of not being able to marry, which was indirectly caused by her own mistakes, and she has always felt that she owes her. I didn't expect that at the critical moment, she was so cold and selfish, it was really unforgivable!

On the other hand, after Luo Baiying returned to the Garden of Martyrs last night, she also knew that she had offended the old lady a lot tonight. In this family, my father was so busy that I couldn't see him all day long, and my mother had never been close to her, and now she offended the old lady who loved her the most, and regretted that Luo Baiying sometimes sits, sometimes stands, and sometimes spins in place, I knew that it would be good not to go to Xinrong Hall in the first place, who wrote that note to lead me to Xinrong Palace? Hateful! Now that she has lost the old lady's will, it will not be as good as before to stay in the Luo family in the future, but marrying someone is not her way out, so now she has to save more for herself and slowly make plans for the future.

Mama Tang refused to elaborate on the second lady's leg injury, but just asked the third lady to go to her to play with her in a few days, in fact, she couldn't hide it for a few days, and the two of them would go to the academy to study together in two days.

"Third Miss, in fact, Jiugu and I came mainly to find you for another matter," Mama Tang remembered another important matter, so she put aside the second miss's face problem, lowered her head and carefully observed the third miss's expression, and said, "Third Miss knows, that Ning Gongzi and Feng Gongzi said goodbye last night." ”

He Angelica's calm face showed a look of surprise that was just right, and said, "Gone?" Yikes. ”

Mama Tang couldn't get any information from her face and words, so she had to ask her clearly: "Third Miss, does that Ning Gongzi named Ning Yuan like you, what else does he do in his family besides the jewelry business?" ”

He Angelica's heart jumped, could it be that the person didn't believe his words, and said something to the old lady before leaving? Or did he find out that the silver needle was poisonous last time, and he was lying to him at all, and he was angry and maliciously retaliated, wanting to destroy his reputation and make it difficult for him to marry in the future?

"Hehe, Ning Yuan?" He Angelica clenched his hand tightly under his sleeve, "Oh, it's the Ning Gongzi who once gave me luck to treat 'amnesia', I seemed to have heard him say last time, he was deeply impressed by the hospitality of our family, not only me, but he also likes the old ancestor and Wei Ge'er very much." As for what kind of business he has in his family...... Mama, are you confused, how do I know that? ”

"Third Miss, look at this," Mama Tang took the scroll that was held in her hand by Jiu Gu just now, and slowly unfolded it, "This painting is clearly painted by you, isn't this "Jiang Chengzi" next to it a famous love poem?" ”

※※※

"What did you say?!" Tomorrow asked Mingyue angrily, "The master actually left the Qinglong Jade Pendant to the little demon girl?" That's a royal thing! If it flows into the hands of outsiders, what if something happens in my life? ”

"Shhh ”

"Well, one person does things and one person does things, since I dare to do this, I am not afraid to let the prince know!" Tomorrow said coldly, "Mingyue, you go back to Daning and put Song You under house arrest according to the prince's instructions, there is another matter, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, wants to tell his sister-in-law Xie Qiaofeng, the second daughter of Yongping Bo Xie Chengzhi, to the prince as a concubine, you go and mediate this matter with the king of Jin." I don't worry about the prince being alone in Zhenjiang to heal his wounds, and if he can't keep it, he will go back and find the little demon girl again, I want to take a good look at the prince here. ”

Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, you guys are careful, within half a month, after I finish dealing with the affairs of Daning, I will bring Chang Gongzi here to meet you." ”

"You should be careful, take care."

"Take care."

So a pair of friends looked at each other for a long time and deeply embraced each other. And Zhu Quan, who was concentrating on healing in the secret room in the courtyard, didn't know that he had already set a princess Xie for himself under his heart, after all, a few months ago he was still planning an alliance with King Jin in his heart, and now his subordinates are determined to let him worry less about snacks and give him a surprise. What's more, the princess he wants in his heart now is hating to tear his autograph scroll to shreds.
