Mama Wang's face was still swollen, and it was difficult to speak, so she pretended not to hear.

Cuimei, the maid on the side, had to bite the bullet and whispered: "It may be that Mrs. Jinling Marquis is busy......"

"Busy?" Mrs. Zheng sneered twice, "She's busy, didn't she let her come to meet me in person?" Wouldn't it be possible to move your mouth and let someone meet me? ”

Cuimei didn't dare to answer, and was silent.

Until she entered the city, Mrs. Zheng did not wait for the servant sent by Mrs. Marquis of Jinling, but only for the servant Zheng Si she sent to report to the Marquis of Jinling's mansion.

Mrs. Zheng called Zheng Si over and asked, "Zheng Si, did I send my post?" ”

Zheng Si replied: "Mrs. Hui, I have already sent it over." However, Mrs. Jinling Hou is not very good, she was grounded by Jinling Marquis, and she is thinking about it behind closed doors. It's not good to entertain Mrs., and let the little one explain to Mrs. ”

Hearing Zheng Si's explanation, Mrs. Zheng felt more comfortable, and thought that after her cousin became Mrs. Hou, she would not recognize her as a sister?

If it weren't for her back then, would this cousin have the good creation she has now to be Mrs. Shanghou?

Soon Mrs. Zheng reacted again, "Grounded? Thinking about it behind closed doors? Inquire why? ”

Of course, Zheng Si inquired, and it cost two taels of silver, "Mrs. Hui, one of the concubines of the Marquis of Jinling is pregnant, five months old, miscarried, and is a formed baby boy." The Marquis of Jinling was ineffective in housekeeping Mrs. Hou, so he grounded Mrs. Hou. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng understood, it is estimated that the formed baby boy was not saved, and it was also the handiwork of her cousin. The cousin married into the Marquis of Jinling, and within seven years without stopping, she gave birth to three, but they were all daughters. In this way, if the eldest son of the Hou Mansion is born to a concubine, it will affect the interests of the cousin. After all, the eldest son is older, even if he gives birth to a son-in-law later, because he is young, he is not an opponent of his brother.

Originally, she had already told Steward Gu that she was going to live in the Marquis of Jinling's mansion, but her cousin was grounded, and it was not good for her to come to the door at this time. So I had to tell Cuimei, "Go and tell Steward Gu that Mrs. Hou is unwell, and it is inconvenient for us to come to the door to disturb, so we still live in the inn." ”

No face, look for face on the ground.

After saying this, Mrs. Zheng also felt hot on her face.

Although Steward Gu was surprised, his face was silent, his attitude was as usual, and the arrangements were appropriate. Outside, you must not despise anyone, leaving a cause of trouble, and you will suffer from it in the future.

This is the style of Steward Gu with the caravan, and this year with this sleekness, there is no disadvantage.

When they arrived at the Yuelai Inn, Mama Zhang and the two little maids sent by Mrs. Zhang were already waiting there. A female dependent in the convoy came and immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Coincidentally, in order to show off that Mrs. Zheng had a cousin of Mrs. Hou before, the Zheng family's convoy walked in front.

Mrs. Zheng got out of the car and took the child, and Mama Zhang stepped forward and asked respectfully: "But Mrs. Derui from Cuiyang County?" ”

Mrs. Zheng originally thought it was a servant sent by her cousin, but she didn't think that as soon as the other party opened her mouth, it was Liu Pan'er who asked, and her face suddenly darkened, "No!" ”

Mama Zhang was also stunned, and looked at Mrs. Zheng with an embarrassed face and left with a snort.

She hadn't seen Mrs. Drey, and it wasn't a big deal to recognize the wrong person, but the other party was wearing silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, but he didn't have any self-cultivation.

At this time, Liu Paner led the child over, and naturally saw the conversation between Mama Zhang and Mrs. Zheng, and stepped forward and smiled, "You are the grandma sent by Mrs. Zhang, right?" ”

Mama Zhang looked at Liu Paner, although she was only dressed in light blue clothes and did not wear jewelry, her bright and upright eyes, crisp voice, and calm demeanor made Mama Zhang's eyes light up.

Mama Zhang saluted, "Yes, Lady Drey." This morning, Brother Huo came to the house to deliver the post, and our wife and adults were very happy. When do you think it's time to sit down? ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "It's hard to travel, I'll rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will definitely bring my daughters to visit, and ask Mama Zhang to tell me." ”

Li Rong took out a small purse with plain noodles and handed it to Mama Zhang, "Mama Zhang has to go on a trip." ”

"Thank you, Madame and Mademoiselle, for the reward." Mama Zhang was also not polite, she accepted it, she tried the weight just now, there should be two taels of silver, and she was quite generous, and she didn't have the childish spirit they imagined.

Before Mama Zhang left, she took out the name of the consolation envoy Zhang, explained to the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn, and entertained her carefully.

Shopkeeper Xu was respectful, but he didn't dare to slack off, and responded again and again.

Originally, the shopkeeper Xu had a good relationship with the caravan's manager, but now he has been explained by the Zhang family, and he has specially allocated a shopkeeper to serve Liu Paner's family.

From Liu Pan'er to the guards below, as well as the goods, they were all properly arranged. Although it was an inn, it made everyone feel welcome.

Mrs. Zheng was even more annoyed when she saw that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn respected Liu Paner and his party so much. Even if she asked the servants below to show the shopkeeper that it was an official eunuch, and her husband was a five-grade official of the Yangzhou garrison, she didn't get too much of a different look at the shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu is actually very respectful to Mrs. Zheng and her party, but it is slightly worse than Liu Pan'er and her party. After all, energy is limited, and manpower is also limited. The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the consolation that makes Master Zhang manage the military affairs and military supplies of Jinling, which is in Jinling City. Yangzhou is garrisoned, and it is still in Yangzhou, and it is still 200 miles away from Jinling.

It is self-evident which is more important and which is more important.

When Mrs. Zheng saw Liu Paner and her party, she didn't want to see it, and only pretended not to see it.

In the house, Li Fang whispered, "Didn't Mrs. Zheng say before that she was going to live in the Marquis of Jinling's mansion?" How do you live in an inn now? ”

Li Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and her speech was also funny, "She thinks she is a good dish, but others treat her as a dispensable pickle plate." ”

Liu Pan'er shook her head and smiled, glaring at Li Rong, "Just know it in your heart, there is no need to say some things." Since we still have the spirit, let's discuss tomorrow's itinerary. ”

"Mother, wherever you go, I will go." Li Nan, as Liu Paner's first little dog's leg, was in charge at this time, and followed his mother to eat and drink spicy food.

Liu Pan'er twisted Li Nan's round nose, "I'll talk about business, and you'll get in the way." Tomorrow you and Sister Ah Fang are at the inn, or let Uncle Chengda take someone to accompany you around. ”

Although Li Nan was a little reluctant, he also knew that it was inconvenient to take four children with him when he was young.

However, it's not bad to be able to go shopping with my sister, Li Nan blinked, "Okay! I wish my mother and mother a smooth talk! ”

Although Gu Guan did not do the spice business, he also knew a lot about Jinling's business.

Steward Gu helped Liu Paner make an appointment with the largest spice merchant here this year, and meet tomorrow in Taihua Building, not far from the inn.

Liu Paner prepared a cumin, about three catties, as a sample.

Tang Yunshan took four people to escort Liu Paner and Li Rong, and followed Steward Gu to discuss business.
