When Wen Yi heard this letter, she didn't care about asking her little etiquette in detail, so she hurriedly pulled Ruyi into the inner room, and gave Dong Lai a look, and the latter guarded the door knowingly.

Wen Yi lowered her voice and asked, "What the hell is going on?" If it is said that it is because of dissatisfaction with the careless behavior of the sixth sister at the flower viewing party in the Luwangfu Mansion, it is just a matter of withdrawing from the family, but how can it be rehired by the fifth sister? Wen Xian and Liu Dongning...... It's unimaginable

Ruyi replied in a low voice: "The slaves and maids can't figure it out, and the old lady and the eldest master were also surprised when they heard what Aunt Liu said." Aunt Liu said that at that time, in the garden of Luwang's Mansion, the cousin was in distress, and the young master of Dongning came to the rescue, which was originally a good intention, but afterwards he behaved at a loss, making the matter bigger, and also affecting the reputation of the fifth lady, causing the fifth miss to be helpless for life. This is his mistake and should be remedied. Miss Six's name is still good, her family background and appearance are good, and it is not difficult to find another family in the future, but Miss Fifth is innocently affected. Because the Liu Gu family is close relatives, Aunt Liu can't bear to suffer the children of his relatives, so he made this decision......"

Wen Yi was speechless. She didn't know what the relationship between Uncle Liu and the Shilang Mansion was in the past, but judging from her experience in the past few months after entering Beijing, except for the third aunt Liu Gu, who occasionally came to the door to ask her mother for peace, Uncle Liu almost never entered the gate of the Gu family, and he didn't care much about the children of the Gu family. Wen Yi hasn't forgotten that in order to suppress Liu Dongxing, he even disregarded his reputation as a niece of the inner clan, and did not hesitate to ruin his marriage, would he really marry someone back as the eldest daughter-in-law for the sake of the reputation of his niece?

Ruyi said that he thought that Wen Hui "has a good name, a good family background, good looks and talents, and it is not difficult to find another family in the future", but Wen Hui's reputation is only worse than Wen Xian, and among the people present at the time, except for the rude Miss Tong, and Zheng Lijun and other people with bad intentions, they all know that Wen Xian was just pushed down by Wen Hui, and there is nothing wrong with her. The rumors outside spread so badly that people who knew in their hearts didn't say it, but they didn't think that Wen Xian was misbehaving because of these rumors. And Wen Xian grew up in Pingyang since she was a child, Pingyang is thousands of miles away from the capital, it's a big deal for her to go back to her hometown to find another family, although a good object like the little prince and grandson of Luwangfu is no longer available, but it is not difficult to seek a scholarly child with good conduct and innocence, where is it to the point of being helpless for life? Maybe if she marries closer to her family, she will be able to live a better life in the future

In contrast, Wen Hui undoubtedly has more trouble. She had an incident in Pingyang, although for the sake of the reputation of the Gu family, the patriarch strictly ordered the clansmen not to spread the matter, but a good concubine was sent to the family nunnery for cultivation, and she was still born in the most prominent room in the clan, and anyone would feel weird. In addition, the famous families in Pingyang are basically married to the Gu family for generations, and some rumors will be heard, but if you are looking for a rich and noble family with no kinship, the door is one layer worse, and the eldest uncle and aunt may not be able to pull this face. I originally thought that after she returned to the capital, with the name of her beauty and talent, she could still climb a good family, but now there is such a scandal and rumors outside, except for a few people who think she is too stupid and fall into the calculations of her sisters, most people either say that she has a high heart and tends to be inflammatory, that is, she does not know filial piety, disobeys her parents' orders, or is unkind, and some people say that she is arrogant, blind, and unsociable, and even someone reconnects her with Zheng Lijun, used Zheng Lijun's scandal and the past close friendship between the two to prove that she is not a good girl with good rules...... And so on and so forth. Regardless of whether others believe in Wen Hui's innocence or not, whether her reputation is bad or not, it is impossible for any high-ranking family who knows etiquette to accept a daughter-in-law like her; And those who are slightly inferior also have to consider whether her behavior is suitable for their own style, and whether she will bring disaster to her in-laws' family after marrying into the door; Again, first-class ...... Is she willing to accept it? Is the Shilang Mansion willing to accept it?

It can be seen that if it is not easy to marry in the future, Wen Hui is more difficult than Wen Xian, but Uncle Liu gave up Wen Hui and hired Wen Xian, I am afraid that it is also a move to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, right? He kept saying that it was to make up for the mistakes made by his son unintentionally, and he repeatedly downplayed the "accident", only saying that Liu Dongning was kind enough to help his cousins, and inadvertently erased the most unbearable suspicion of "sisters fighting for husbands" in the rumors. Wen Xian's parents' family background is much worse than Wen Hui's, and in the eyes of outsiders, she probably thinks that the Liu family is not from a family and acts generously and benevolently, right?

Isn't it? was originally a well-intentioned helper, I didn't want to have an accident, and inadvertently affected the reputation of others, in order to make up for it, I married a girl whose family background was much worse than my own to be the eldest daughter-in-law, which is really a benevolent and righteous gentleman

Once this marriage is spread, no matter who is right or wrong with Wen Xian and Wen Hui, and no matter what others think of Liu Dongning's "confused" behavior at that time, there must be only good things for the Liu family, but what about Wen Hui? Reputation will only get worse; What about Wen Xian? If she marries into the Liu family, the rules and regulations are in order, and she is safe, but if there is a little shortcoming, others will only say that she is not grateful, and she does not know how to cherish the blessings, even if she suffers more and suffers more grievances, she has no position to complain. As for the Gu family, it is even more impossible for her to stand up for her, because they "took advantage" in this marriage

Wen Yi recalled what she had experienced in her previous life when she traveled with her master all over the world, and her mood became heavier and heavier.

She remembered that when they were passing through a small town, they had seen a so-called "scholar's family", and she had heard that their ancestors had raised people, and the only son of this generation was also a child, so the family was one of the most famous in the town. His family originally hired the daughter of a teaching gentleman in a neighboring town as a wife for his only son, but before he got married, this only son became a showman, so his parents began to dislike the daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door and was not worthy of their son. Later, somehow, the daughter of the family was found to have made a new dress for her nine-year-old cousin, and his family began to count her for not following the rules of etiquette, but his son's teacher felt that it was untrustworthy to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and the reputation was not good, so his family had to change his story and say that although the other party was not polite, his family was still a trustworthy gentleman, and let his son marry her. The villagers all praised it. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the new daughter-in-law entered the door for a year, and there were many bad reputations one after another, even if her mother's family was aggrieved for her, but because her mother-in-law's reputation was too good, she didn't dare to come out, so the new daughter-in-law was tossed to death within two years. After her death, the only son of the family was sad in front of people, but he also gained a good name, and the next year he married a beautiful rich daughter, I heard that he went to his family's reputation of "trustworthy and affectionate".

Wen Yi was in the nunnery where the master sent the order, next to the new daughter-in-law's mother's house, and everyone in the nunnery witnessed her crying to her mother's family, obviously she was treated as a maid in her mother-in-law's house and worked every day, she couldn't eat enough, she didn't sleep well, and she was a little unhappy, so she was punished to run to the hall, and no one invited a doctor to come to see when she was sick, but her mother's family didn't even dare to say a word for her, and even ignored her crying, and insisted on urging her to go out and go back to her mother-in-law's house. Her husband only knows that he goes out to eat, drink and have fun every day, and he is at home with Yahuan**, and he can't take care of his homework. It's a pity that the in-laws in her mouth are too far from the image of "famous families" and "moral gentlemen" in the hearts of the villagers, no one wants to believe it, and even after her death, the people in the town where her in-laws are located will say that she is "unlucky", and "such an unfilial daughter-in-law is not worthy of her husband's promotion".

Wen Yi recalled what happened to this new daughter-in-law, and felt more and more that Uncle Liu had bad intentions. His reason is so high-sounding, in order to keep the reputation of the Liu family from being affected by this marriage, I am afraid that he can't take care of the reputation of the Gu family, right?

Such an elder really makes people angry, Wen Yi remembered that after marrying Liu Dongxing in the future, she would also not be able to get rid of this elder, and she was even more depressed.

If she said that her face was not good, she thought about it and asked carefully: "Miss Jiu, your little ceremony is finally going to be decided, are you not happy?" ”

Wen Yi sighed and smiled reluctantly: "Of course, I'm happy, it's just ...... I'm afraid that the marriage between the fifth sister and the cousin of the Liu family will spread out, and the reputation of our Gu family will be affected, sixth sister...... The reputation is even worse. Ruyi girl, you wait in front of your uncle and grandmother...... might as well remind her that the old man should not let the Liu family go out in order to keep this family business...... Saying something that is not good for our Gu family, even if it is slandering the sixth sister, it is not good. ”

Ruyi was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly: "The slave knows." "Pause," Miss Jiu, the slave maid just heard the old lady tell the eldest master that the fifth lady's wedding date is set for May, because she is old, it stands to reason that she should be married first, but ......" She glanced at Wen Yi secretly, pursed her lips and smiled: "But on the other side of the Liu family, it is the young master of the east who is the elder." Aunt Liu and Mrs. Aunt Liu mean to hold a small ceremony for Young Master Dongxing and Miss Nine first, and then make a marriage for Young Master Dongning and Miss Five, but the marriage will be done for Young Master Dongning first. The old lady has promised to send a letter back to Pingyang immediately, invite the second old man and the second wife over, and give the fifth lady a bridal."

Wen Yi frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I know." "She is relatively young, and it is common sense for her to postpone her marriage, not to mention that she was originally the daughter of the sixth room of the Gu family, and she went to Beijing in order to get married, and there was no reason to marry from the long house when her grandmother was not present. And Wen Xian's wedding date was set so early...... Could it be to prevent long nights from dreaming too much?

Wen Yi sighed secretly. The family affair with Liu Dongxing was finally settled, which certainly made her let go of the big stone in her heart, but her future husband's family was so ...... She couldn't help but feel sad again.

What's more, Wen Xian's life is over, what should Wen Hui do?

Wen Hui soon learned the news. This time, it was Jiang who told her personally.

Jiang cried again, was sad for her daughter, and scolded Wen Hui for a long time, complaining that she had repeatedly caused trouble, lost a good family business, and cheapened Wen Xian in vain. This mother of her own, broke her heart for her, and in the end, she was also taught a lesson by her mother-in-law and husband for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the Shilang Mansion wanted to marry the eldest daughter-in-law, and she had to marry Wen Xian, she couldn't come forward without being the housewife, I am afraid that the housekeeper power would return to Aunt Yu

These astronomical sages participated in the examination in the Gongyuan, Wen An went out every day to practice riding and archery with his friends, and Jiang didn't even have anyone to cry about, except for occasionally complaining in front of Wen Yi, there was nowhere to vomit bitter water in his stomach.

Wen Hui listened to her mother's words, and the whole person was stunned, like a puppet, and it took half a day to wake up: "How is this possible? Liu Dongning...... How could Liu Dongning agree? He ...... to me So infatuated...... How could he agree to marry the fifth sister? ”

Jiang Shi cried: "Don't care how he agreed, if he insists on refusing, your Uncle Liu will not mention this matter." At the beginning, your Uncle Liu couldn't resist him, so he asked your aunt to mention this family matter again. Now that things have come to this point, there is really no way, your grandmother and father have already responded, just waiting for your second uncle and aunt to go to Beijing. What other face do I have to meet people? What did I do in my previous life? How can it be so miserable? "I cried so much that I almost fainted.

"I don't believe it...... I don't believe it," Wen Hui stood up suddenly, and was about to rush out, "I want to ask Liu Dongning how he can change his mind?" Taxue stood by the door, and when she saw this, she hurriedly knelt down and hugged her legs: "Miss, you can't go" Xunmei also pounced on the other side and hugged her waist tightly: "Miss, you can't make any more trouble, if you make any more trouble, only one will die"

Wen Hui was stunned when she heard this. Jiang Shi reluctantly walked over with the support of the cuckoo, and reprimanded in a trembling voice: "Have you forgotten your grandmother's words? That time I went to the Luwang Mansion to enjoy the flowers, you promised, if you cause trouble again, you will be treated as if the Gu family did not have your daughter, and now the old lady has taken pity on you and fallen into other people's calculations, so you have not broken the love of your ancestors and grandchildren, what else do you want? Do you really have to give your life to stop? After that, he cried loudly, and after a while, he really fainted. Seeing this, Gu Liu's two grandmothers hurriedly rushed in from outside to support her, some called the doctor, some called Mrs. Bao and the master, some called the medicine, some called the water, some called the tea, and there was chaos inside and outside the house.

In this chaos, Treadxue remembered Wen Yi's previous reminder and hugged Wen Hui's thigh. Xun Mei wanted to leave to see the Jiang family, but she didn't dare to move when she saw this. Wen Hui watched in a daze as her mother was carried to the kang for treatment, and then saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quietly pointing at her outside the door, and then looked down at the fear and resentment revealed in the eyes of the two big girls, her eyes were dark, and she suddenly fell to the ground.

Jiang and Wen Hui are both sick, the former is fine, only needs to recuperate for a few days, but the latter is completely confined in the small courtyard, except for a few girls and mothers-in-law who have been waiting for many years, there is no one else. Mrs. Yu personally ordered that no one in the house should be allowed to disturb Miss Six's recuperation, and if there was a violation, she would immediately hand over her family to someone for resale. As soon as this order was given, there was not even half of the people in the Shilang Mansion who went to greet Wen Hui. Within two days, Mrs. Yu also asked someone to send two copies of the Buddha, asking Wen Hui to cultivate her mind and temperament. No matter how much Jiang cried, he couldn't change her mind. In order not to fall into the hands of Aunt Yu in the hands of the housekeeper, causing the eldest son to marry a wife, and his own mother could not come forward to manage it, Jiang could only accept this result with tears.

As for Wen Xian and Wen An, when they heard about it when they went home, they didn't say anything. Wen Hui loves to get into trouble, it has not been a day or two for a long time, and for the sake of the peace of the family, this is also a last resort. Now there are rumors outside, all say that Liu Shangshu is high-spirited and bright, and he does not pay attention to his family, and for the sake of his son's unintentional mistakes, he let him marry the victim as his wife, which is really a benevolent gentleman. At the same time, the Gu family has a reputation of "not being strict with the godson", and some people question that the fifth miss of the Gu family is just going back, what is the purpose of the sixth lady's behavior at the flower viewing party in the Luwangfu? The other children of the Gu family were also questioned about their parenting character. Wen Xian was out and about with scholars, and he was quite affected, and Wen An had already fought with people twice, and he was worried about it.

Wen Yi had no intention of interfering in the housekeeping of the long house, and did nothing superfluous except to comfort the Jiang family. Wen Xian's injuries have improved, her mood has also recovered, except for her expression is still a little sad, everything is normal, and she can even help Jiang Shi with some housework. Wen Yi couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous about this. Wen Juan secretly complained that her sister's temper was becoming more and more strange now, and she also ignored herself, Wen Yi persuaded a few words, then ignored it anymore, and sent someone to send supplements to Nie Heng while concentrating on preparing her own little lily.

At this time, Lin Meier sent a post, saying that the family had set a date for departure, and she wanted to meet her friends again before leaving Beijing, and invited them to get together at home.

Wen Yi looked at the date on the post, but found that it was the day before Xiao Dingli, and since he was the one who was going to make a marriage, it was naturally inconvenient to go out again, although it was a pity, it was also a helpless thing. So he specially prepared a generous gift, adding a few hand-made needles and threads, and two unique knick-knacks, and handed them to Dong Kui, so that she could go to Lin's house on her behalf and apologize to Lin Meier.

Shilang's Mansion is now in an eventful autumn, and Wen Yi doesn't want to trouble the Jiang family too much, so she only said that she would let Dong Que go out to run errands, and only asked the Jiang family for a carriage, and let Zhao Da and his family follow, and the three of them left the mansion.

Dong Lunck and his party were intercepted halfway through. The man claimed to know Miss Gu Jiu, and the owner had a letter to give to her, asking Dong Lai to help pass it on.

Dong Lai lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Zhu Jingshen, the son of King Kang, who was riding on a horse not far ahead, lowered his eyes, covered the depth in his eyes, and slowly got off the car.

Zhao looked at her with some concern: "Miss Xu, this person ......"

"It doesn't matter, sister-in-law Zhao." Hollyhock curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "I recognize him." I know who he is. ”
