Chapter 127: The Truth Behind (I)

Wen Yi watched Dong Kui, Xiuzhu and the He family pack their luggage, so she told the He family to go out and ask the steward of the long room about the specific order of carrying the luggage, but she took out a book, leaned on the side of the bed and flipped through it, pretending to pass the time, but in fact, she didn't read half a word.

The cabin door panel was pushed open, and Mama Zhao returned. Wen Yi hurriedly greeted him and lowered his voice: "How?" ”

Mama Zhao nodded and whispered: "Mama has already brought a letter to Ruyi, she is now sending the man off the boat, and she has to go to see how the old lady's luggage is moving, after doing this, she will come over, and tell others to see if the young lady's luggage is properly packed." ”

Wen Yixi said: "That's the best, thank you grandma, thank you for your hard work"

Mama Zhao smiled and narrowed her eyes: "This little thing, what kind of hard work?" Mama didn't help Miss along the way, she was uneasy, Miss had something to do with Mama, Mama was happy from the bottom of her heart."

Wen Yi smiled, pulled her again, and said, "Mama has also been familiar with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the little girl in the long house these days, right?" Can you ...... It doesn't have to be too deliberate to cheer them up, but it would be nice if I could ask some about the aunt. I always feel ...... Her attitude towards Aunt Luo was repeated, for a while, for a while, for a while, when it was good, I couldn't wait for a mother to come out of the belly, when it was bad, either there was always a reason to avoid it, or it was cold and indifferent when I met, this was really weird, and the eldest uncle and grandmother had always been close to Aunt Luo, and there was nothing unusual. I'm afraid that something that I don't know will happen in the future, and it will hurt our friendship with Aunt Luo, so Mama will help to probe the aunt and their tone, how about it? ”

Mama Zhao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mama is used to doing this kind of thing, just leave it to me" After saying that, she pulled Xiuzhu and whispered all the way out.

After a while, Ruyi came. Standing at the door of the cabin, she deliberately laughed loudly and greeted Wen Yi, and then asked how the winter sunflower was packing her luggage before entering the door. Dong Yao had already received Wen Yi's instructions, and pretended to be a check bag very eye-catchingly, guarding the door to watch the wind. Wen Yi was afraid that it would delay the business after a long time, so she asked Ruyi straight to the point: "Just now I saw that the eldest uncle and grandmother looked different, and I passed on the secret questioning of the family sent by the Jingli Shilang Mansion, but what happened?" ”

Ruyi smiled: "It doesn't matter, the old lady saw that the person was talking in front of the person, her eyes flickered, and there seemed to be something untrue, and she didn't worry, so she sent someone over and asked again." ”

Wen Yi sighed: "Sister Ruyi, you don't have to hide it from me. I couldn't hear something strange in that man's words? It's just that since I went to Beijing with my uncle and grandmother and aunt, I must have some numbers in my heart, otherwise...... Everything is kept in the dark, I'm afraid that I will suffer a loss in the future, I don't know yet, but after all, I'm in the next room, and there are no elders around me, so I have nowhere to ask if I want to. Who else can I ask for but Sister Ruyi? ”

Ruyi hurriedly said: "Miss Nine tortured the slave maid, don't say that about the slave mother's illness, or rely on the medicine you gave to get better, and there is no shortage of your rewards on weekdays, the slave and maid family are grateful for your great kindness, and always say that I don't know when I can repay you, this time you say what you don't want to ask for, the slave and the maid will have no face to see you."

Wen Yi smiled: "I was also anxious for a while, I just said this, don't take it to heart." I saw that the man just now was talking hesitantly, as if there was something hidden about the arrest of the boat, and I felt that the behavior of the palace was really a little strange, could it be that the nobles didn't look down on our Gu family, so they didn't even care about the affection of relatives? Thinking about the situation when the prince passed through Guzhuang half a year ago, it means a little like this......"

Ruyi shook his head and said: "The palace doesn't care about the relatives, the slave doesn't know, but I hear the old lady mention it on weekdays, the Liu family and the palace are often in and out, the princess of Dongping and our third aunt and wife are the closest, in the past, the old lady was too old, and the steward of the palace always had to send a congratulatory gift, and the number of gifts was never lacking, so when the bandit was chaotic, the prince ......" She glanced at Wen Yi vaguely, "The old lady is not less angry in private, but Mrs. Gu is now in the Liu family...... Some unsatisfactory, the old lady didn't want to make too much trouble with the palace, so she said to the eldest lady, and when she passed through Dongping Mansion, she went to the palace to greet her, please be safe, but not for a long time, so as not to cause trouble for the eldest lady. It's just that I didn't expect this change to happen again. She leaned into Wen Yi's ear and lowered her voice: "This kickback boat, there is a ** because the second steward drank too much, and he was talking nonsense outside, who knew that the people in the palace were on the side, and they happened to hear it, and when they reported to the palace, the princess was very angry When the second steward came to ask her for help, she called someone to blast out. The board of the second steward, on the surface, is an order from the government, but it is actually the meaning of the princess, our ship, is also deliberately ordered by the palace to be held by people, and the people below can no longer hire a boat, I am afraid it is also for this reason......"

Wen Yi was taken aback, what did the second steward say? It actually made Princess Dongping angry to this point...... You must know that it is not the king of Dongping or the prince of Dongping, but the princess who is related to the Gu family

She thought for a moment and asked, "What did the second steward say?" How did you happen to meet someone from the palace? ”

Ruyi sighed: "It's also a coincidence, that night, the people of the Luo family firm invited the second steward to go to a famous restaurant for a drink, and specially asked for a private room." Because the second steward didn't bring anyone, what was the specific situation at that time, it was only after the Luo family told a few small people that they knew. The second steward was probably drunk, and somehow, he actually talked about Miss Six. It is said that Miss Six entered Beijing this time, and she is going to marry the prince of Dongping, and the prince said that the prince has a soft spot for Miss Six, and the relationship is still very close......"

Wen Yi was taken aback: "What do you say?" How could such a thing ever be? "If it is someone close to Wen Hui, it is possible to be affected by her words and deeds, but this second steward ...... Aren't you from the Shilang Mansion in the capital? Wen Hui hasn't been in contact with this second steward since that accident happened, right?

"The slave doesn't know," Ruyi sighed, "The second steward has never been a fool, why did he say such a thing?" And he actually shouted loudly, listening to the Luo family, it seems that he has made a drunken madness if he changes elsewhere, as long as he doesn't let people outside hear it, it's nothing, but it's just a shame in front of the Luo family, and the people of his family still understand the rules, so they won't spread it around, but who wants to think that in the private room next door, there is a grandmother who Princess Dongping has to use, as if she is entertaining...... I don't know how she heard it, so she immediately brought people over to slap her mouth, and ordered them not to make up nonsense and climb nobles. The second steward was stunned, he was carried back by the Luo family, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day, which delayed the matter of going to the yamen to receive people. ”

Wen Yi was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she quickly grasped a key sentence: "The grandmother next to the princess...... Why do you want to serve customers in an outdoor restaurant? ”

"This slave doesn't know." Ruyi tilted his head, "I want to come...... The housekeeper of our family, if he encounters something, he has to invite important guests to eat and drink, and there are also people who go to the restaurant. After all, there is some disrespect for entertaining guests in your own home, but there is no reason to occupy the host's place. She smiled, "The old lady used to use a few grandmothers, every year when they meet people in the inner courtyard, there are also many people who invite them out to eat and drink, and the usual meals are not on the table, so you have to go to the famous restaurant to call a table of first-class noodles to get your hands on it, and sometimes go to the restaurant to eat." They are all old, not like us as girls, and it is inconvenient to go out. ”

The grandmother by the princess's side...... Entertain guests at a famous restaurant...... The second steward was next door discussing the scandal between Miss Six and the prince of Dongping...... Mama came to stop it and beat someone......

It's really weird...... The guests that the grandmother of the palace wants to entertain must also be female guests, but since it is the grandmother who comes forward, it should not be a big person...... But no matter how ridiculous the second steward said, it didn't reach the point of beating people on the spot, right? What's more, no matter how noble the grandmother of the palace is, she has not openly beaten and scolded the servants of the eunuch's house, is it ...... What's so special about that guest's identity?

Wen Yi felt as if she had grasped something, but it was still a little vague, like a veil, which made it difficult to see......

She settled down, and then looked at Ruyi: "This matter is done abruptly by the second manager, but Princess Dongping is angry again, and then tell us, the eldest aunt comes forward to make a compensation, and it will be over, how can it get to the point of detaining the boat and beating people?" Even if you look at the face of the third aunt, it shouldn't be like this. Didn't you say that the princess and the third aunt have always been good? ”

Ruyi sighed: "Miss Jiu, the slave and maid don't hide it from you, our aunt's wife...... Now it's hard to have a good time in her mother-in-law's house, Aunt Liu thinks she is troublesome, and she has caused trouble for the family, so she has to be estranged from the palace, but the princess is annoyed with her again, and now she is not a person inside and outside, and she is sick. That's why our old lady came to Beijing. ”

Wen Yi couldn't help but be a little funny, the third aunt was too confused to do things, when she shouldn't be close to the Dongping Palace, she insisted on getting close despite Uncle Liu's wishes, and now the palace should be worried about cutting the domain, but she is estranged from others, how can the princess not be annoyed?

Wen Yi sighed and said to Ruyi: "Since things have come to this point, it's useless to say anything, so you can only wait for the princess to lose her breath and then slowly figure it out." Auntie and Auntie's side...... It's better to be close to the Luo family, how can you say it...... People are also insiders...... although she said this, she wished that the people in the long house would be far away from the Dongping Palace, but it was also a good thing to use this as an excuse for the two elders to firmly make friends with the Luo family, at least, her relationship with Aunt Luo would not be hindered.

Ruyi nodded and smiled: "Miss Jiu, don't worry, even if the slaves and maids don't remind you, the old lady will think of this." She had just instructed her to turn out a few pieces of good material that she had prepared for entering Beijing and send them to Mrs. Luo Si, saying that she was thanking her for her help and borrowing a boat to make an envoy to our family."

Wen Yi smiled slightly, it was not a day or two since the Gu family borrowed the Luo family's boat, and it was only at this time that they gave gifts and thanked each other, and sure enough, there were some other meanings.

Mrs. Yu's errand was busy, Wen Yi didn't dare to delay Ruyi too much, so she asked her to go back first, and after a while, the He family came back to report that they could move their luggage, and everyone immediately got busy.

The Luo family prepared five ships, only two of which were carrying tribute, and the remaining three were carrying people. Gu took a boat in the family's room, and Wen Yi followed Mrs. Luo Si's mother and daughter to sit in one after the old lady and the Jiang family, and the two coarse envoys and male servants sat on the remaining one. The five boats all received official documents from the imperial court, and officials and citizens along the road were not allowed to harass them on the boats at will.

Although everyone got on the boat, it was getting late, and in order to accommodate the lodging and replenish the water, they decided to set off again the next morning. Wen Yi took the girls to her cabin first. This time, because of the short trip, she didn't plan to decorate the room carefully, but after entering, she found that although the room was smaller, it was complete, and it was very comfortable to live in, which was stronger than the cabin on the Luo family's big ship before.

When she thanked Mrs. Luo Si for this, the latter smiled and said: "I also think it's good, Tan Shi that guy, his face is not obvious, in fact, he is very thoughtful and proper."

Wen Yi was surprised: "Talk about ten? He arranged this ship? But isn't he returning to the sea? ”

Mrs. Luo Si said with a smile: "When Ming Min went north, he took him with him, just now I heard the shopkeeper of the trading house here, only to know that Ming Min threw him to Dongping Mansion, just to arrange our affairs, it is really difficult for that child to have a heart, he is afraid that the shopkeepers will only do business, and he is not as thoughtful as the housekeepers at home in such daily trivial matters, and he is afraid that it will be seven or eight days to talk for ten days, and the housekeeper of the Gu family is also contacted by him." ”

Wen Yi's eyes widened, she never expected it...... The Luo family, who was in contact with the second steward, actually talked about ten, and she suddenly thought, could it be that he was the one who invited the second steward to the restaurant to eat?

This series of coincidences made her fall into deep thought......

Mrs. Luo Si noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with talking about ten? ”

Wen Yi came to her senses and shook her head with a smile: "How could it be?" It's as proper to talk about stewardship, otherwise Brother Luo wouldn't have sent him. After a pause, he asked about something else: "Fourth aunt, I heard from the people of the Shilang Mansion before...... The people who clash with them are the people of Dongyang Hou and Huguo Mansion, what kind of people these two are, do you know? "To be honest, although she was indeed a little lonely in her previous life, she still knew about the powerful people in Beijing, but she had never heard of these two families, so she must not be a big family.

Mrs. Luo Si was surprised: "You don't recognize the two of them?" Don't you hear about it at home? ”

Wen Yi blushed: "Maybe it's because I accompany my grandmother to worship Buddha at home all the year round, I don't go out much, and the news is a little ill-informed......" Her heart moved, listening to Mrs. Luo's tone, could it be that these two families are not small?
