Chapter 22: The Secret of the Storm
Nuan Wen Pavilion, Zhu Qing walked in from the outside as usual. After entering the inner room, he said mysteriously, "Miss, the letter from the Wen State Mansion." ”
Wen Jin, who had originally closed his eyes and recuperated, slowly opened his eyes when he heard this. Exhaled like a blue and said, "Take it!" ”
The letter contains only a few words, but it contains shocking news. Wen Jin casually threw the letter into the charcoal fire and let it spread wantonly in the fire.
The fact that Gao Mingyue was almost kidnapped by gangsters is actually a play directed and acted by the Wenguo Mansion, the purpose of which is to make others suspect Aunt Song.
For seven years, the Wenguo Mansion has never made a move to deal with Aunt Song. When the Lin family died, the Wenguo Mansion also suspected Aunt Song, but because there was no evidence, and the title of the Song family fell to Aunt Song's brother at this time. Don't act rashly.
Wen Jin returned home this time to find evidence and take revenge. In fact, Wen Jin knew that this was an experience given to him by his grandfather.
There are not so many intrigues in the Wenguo Mansion, Wen Jin has lived in that environment since he was a child, so he naturally has no experience in intrigues.
But which family has clear water? Wen Jin, as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will marry in the future, so she will naturally have to experience these things, and if she has no experience in dealing with them, she will inevitably be at a loss.
Now her grandfather has handed over revenge to her, which can be regarded as a plan for the future.
And Wen Jin is now protected by his grandfather's family, even if he can't fight Aunt Song, it's okay.
When the paper was burned to ashes, a voice came from outside, "Eldest sister, but is she asleep?" ”
Qiushui replied respectfully, "Hello Third Miss, is the eldest lady in the house?" ”
Yun Jin nodded with a smile and walked to the inner room. Zhu Ye hurriedly greeted him, "Hello Third Miss." ”
Yun Jin walked into the inner room in a few steps, and called with a smile, "Eldest sister." ”
Wen Jin smiled and pulled Yun Jin to sit down side by side, and said, "Why did you come here now?" ”
Yun Jin said calmly, "My sister just heard some rumors outside the house, I don't know if the eldest sister has heard about it?" ”
Wen Jin asked suspiciously, "What kind of rumors?" ”
Yun Jin said mysteriously, "The step-wife Gao was almost kidnapped by gangsters on the way to worship Buddha a few days ago, and because the gangsters escaped, the matter was over. It's just that now there is news that the stepwife was almost murdered because she angered her lover. ”
"There are rumors outside the house that the step-wife had a lover in the early years, and now the step-lady is married to the prime minister's house, and the lover is angry, so he plans to do nothing to the step-wife."
Wen Jin covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this, "My sister doesn't believe these words either, right?" ”
Yun Jin's face was calm, "My sister naturally doesn't believe it, and my grandmother is also so angry about it?" ”
Wen Jin also had a calm look on his face, "Let them toss!" Now that the stepwife has not entered the house, the people in the house will practice the stepwife, and wait for the stepwife to enter the house in the next day to see how they will deal with themselves. ”
Yun Jin nodded and said, "That's what I said, my stepwife was originally a hard-working person, but now she is married to the Prime Minister's house, which can be regarded as a blessing." Since we have received blessed things, there should also be some evil things that complement each other. ”
Wen Jin also nodded, "Although this stepwife is only twenty-two, my father is only thirty-two." 's father is in his prime, and he is not wronged by his stepwife. ”
"That's exactly what it is?" Yun Jin nodded in response.
"Now that the chrysanthemum banquet is only half a moon, how is my sister's guzheng practice?" Wen Jin asked with concern.
Yun Jin said modestly, "Where is there any growth!" My sister is a dull person, and she is not as diligent as Sister Yujin, so it is naturally difficult to achieve success. ”
"Sister doesn't know, now Sister Yujin has to practice dancing for half an hour every day?" Yun Jin said with an exaggerated expression.
Wen Jin said with a smile, "When it comes to the flower feast, Sister Yujin is naturally going to be amazed. ”
Yun Jin also nodded seriously.
In Chunrong Hall, the old lady sat on the chair with a straight face, and the rest of the masters were sitting on the two chairs below.
The old lady spoke, "I have called you here today, but I have one thing to say. The step-lady will be in the door in two months, and all the affairs of the house must be taken care of here first, do you understand? ”
"Yes, as the old lady commands." The aunt and the young lady said in unison.
The old lady said coldly, "Now there are some rumors about the stepwife outside the house, and I have also heard about it. It's just the stepwife's character, but the old body can be guaranteed. If you can't trust your stepwife, you can't trust your old body. If the people in the house are also chasing after the wind and shadows because of this matter, don't blame me for being unkind! ”
The old lady said this in a loud voice, and the people below responded respectfully and carefully.
Only then did the old lady soften her tone and said, "Okay, the three girls left the tailor-made clothes, and the others are scattered!" ”
Aunt Song and Aunt Li retreated with the help of their respective maids, and a slippery maid came up with all kinds of silk and satin.
In front of you, there is a piece of flowers, and these silk satins are all new styles.
The old lady softened her expression and said gently, "You all pick out a few pieces of silk and let people cut them into clothes, so that they can be worn out during the flower feast." ”
The three girls saluted in unison and said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”
The three girls stepped forward, and Yun Jin said softly, "The two sisters will choose first!" ”
Wen Jin also said with a smile, "In ancient times, Confucius let the pear, this time the sister should also let the two sisters choose first." ”
The three girls humbled each other, and in the end, it was the old lady who spoke, "Sister Wen, as the eldest daughter, should be chosen by you first." ”
Wen Jin responded, "Yes." ”
Wen Jin took a general look, and then ordered the maid to take a goose yellow, a violet, and a moon white blue.
Yujin then picked a horse of rose, a horse of dark purple, and a horse of water blue.
Yun Jin didn't want to recolor with the two sisters, so he only chose tender green, water pink, and orange yellow.
The old lady didn't say anything, but asked the tailor to measure each of the three girls, and then ordered the tailor to go down.
At this time, the old lady said, "The jewelry in the house is limited, you go to Zhenbao Zhai to choose some new and unique jewelry!" ”
Yujin couldn't help but light up when he heard this, Zhenbao Zhai is the largest jewelry building in the capital, and the jewelry inside is often a hundred taels of silver. Even when Aunt Song was housekeeper, she only bought one more for her in a month.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I have ordered someone to arrange the carriage and the money, you just have to go and choose." ”
"Yes, thank you, grandmother." The three girls said gratefully.
Zhenbao Zhai, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly stopped in front of the door. The three young ladies got out of the carriage with grace and walked inside with gentle steps.
Those who can come to Zhenbao Zhai to buy jewelry are all nobles from the capital family, so there is no crowding in Zhenbao Zhai.
Xiao Er immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Hello three young ladies, I don't know what jewelry the young ladies want to choose?" ”
Yujin took the lead and said, "Take all the new jewelry in your store, let's pick it out." ”
Xiao Er responded busily, "Why don't you move to the second floor, the new jewelry in the small shop is upstairs?" ”
Yujin took the lead and said, "It's okay." ”
Wen Jin didn't speak, just followed Xiao Er upstairs. Yun Jin also followed.
The jewelry upstairs is indeed more than one level better than those downstairs, and Yujin looked at those dazzling jewelry, and he couldn't pull out his legs for a long time.
Wen Jin and Yun Jin are a lot calmer, Wen Jin is used to seeing these things in the Guogong Mansion, and Yun Jin is not on this side of his mind.
Yujin was intently choosing, not noticing that the maid of Zhenbaozhai served her a cup of tea. Walking around, the cup of tea coincidentally spilled on the jade brocade and the splendid Luo skirt.
Yujin immediately twisted his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible. The little maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please forgive the young lady, the slave didn't mean it." ”
Wen Jin quietly waited for Yu Jin's next move. Yujin did not disappoint her. After a while, Yujin regained a pleasant complexion.
"It's just a garment, it's not worth anything. Get up! I don't blame you. ”
"Qingguo, take my clothes from your carriage." Yujin commanded.
The little second also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Miss is benevolent! I didn't expect the young lady to be not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. ”
"There is a changing room on the third floor of Zhenbao Zhai, and the villain takes the young lady over." The little second head said in a Taoist way, which really made Yujin feel a little better.
took Qingguo to retrieve the clothes, and Yujin went to the third floor.
At this time, Wen Jin had the heart to choose jewelry, Wen Jin casually pointed to a few pieces of amethyst jewelry, and ordered Xiao Er to wrap it up.
Yun Jin also picked out a few pieces of jewelry, and then sat and drank tea with Wen Jin, waiting for Yu Jin to come down from upstairs.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Yujin come back. Wen Jin then instructed, "Zhuqing, you and Ziyan go upstairs to take a look, why hasn't the second miss come back yet." ”
Zhu Qing and Ziyan hurriedly went down. This Ziyan is the maid of the third young lady, and Wen Jin's instructions are naturally useful.
What happened upstairs, others didn't know, but two quarters of an hour later, Yujin walked down from the upstairs with a solemn face.
Wen Jin said casually, "Sister, hurry up and choose jewelry!" My third sister has already picked it. ”
Yujin picked out a few pieces of jewelry with all his interest. The group hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I went to Chunrong Hall to meet the old lady first, and the old lady was attentive and found that the clothes on Yujin's body had changed, so she asked.
After Wen Jin said 1510 for Yujin, the old lady put her mind at ease and ordered the three girls to go back separately.
Under the ginkgo tree in Chunrong Hall, Yujin called out to stop Wenjin. "Eldest Sister......
Wen Jin stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter with my sister?" ”
Yujin had a look of hesitation on her face, and finally said, "Today's matter, I hope the eldest sister doesn't say it." Although nothing has happened, my sister also has to care about the reputation of the Prime Minister's house. ”
Wen Jin nodded solemnly, "I know, although my sister can rest assured, my sister will not say it." ”
Wen Jin walked away, but Yun Jin walked over on his own. Said to Yujin gently, "Second sister don't worry, my sister knows the severity and won't say it." ”
Although Yujin was annoyed that someone had caught the handle, he was helpless, so he had to swallow his anger and let go of his attitude. "Thank you so much for the third sister."
"Second sister is polite." Yun Jin said a word politely, and then turned to leave.
As soon as she stepped into the Nuanyun Pavilion, Zijuan beside Yunjin said, "I really didn't expect that the second miss also has today." I used to look down on Miss, but today I'm going to beg Miss. ”
Yun Jin didn't look happy, and only ordered, "Stop talking nonsense." ”
Zijuan hurriedly admitted her mistake, "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong." ”
