Chapter 105: The Zheng Family's Guidance
Looking at Yu Zhaoyuan's footsteps walking out quickly, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows as if she was watching a good show, she had only seen this person's calm and indifferent appearance in the past, and it was the first time she had seen her so gaffe, but it was still a little funny to see a person who was used to pretending to be so passive.
And after Yu Zhaoyuan got into the carriage, she first exhaled deeply, and then reprimanded with a little anger:
"Didn't you say that she should stay in the Zheng Mansion well? What did she come out for? You don't even know it? Don't you know that she has always been stupid, and she likes to act recklessly, she was in Ningzhou before, and the Yu family is finally a family with a bit of status, and others will always put up with her a little bit when they look at the face of the Ning family. Z.br>
But this is in Pingcheng, and the Yu family has no foundation in Pingcheng, so she dares to be so arrogant? Even before the arrogance, he didn't understand it, and he actually made trouble at Concubine Shu's shop and let others see the joke, even if Concubine Shu let any other woman enter the palace, she would definitely not let this person who acted recklessly and made a big fuss in the shop in."
As soon as she thought of this, Yu Zhaoyuan couldn't help but tremble with anger, she remembered the planning of these days, the hard work of rushing from Ningzhou to the Zheng family, and the head of the Zheng family and others, she used to plan like that, but now these efforts have become a joke.
And the grandmother beside Yu Zhaoyuan also looked at it very worriedly when she saw the master's form, and then said with some comfort:
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry so much, even if Yu Zhaoyuan doesn't use it, but what about other girls from the Yu family? Although they are only a side branch of the Yu family, and their backgrounds are not as noble as the second miss of the Yu family, they have always been gentle and beautiful, so if you want to cultivate them, you can just talk to Concubine Shu when the time comes."
There is some truth in what this said, the head of the Yu family is partial to his daughter, but Yu Xiu is really not a weapon, in terms of beauty, she is not as good as several women in the side branch of the Yu family, and even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and intelligence are not as good as others, just a reckless character.
No matter how much the head of the Yu family favors Yu Xiu, but thinking of this, she can't let her marry into the high gate, after all, those people united by the Yu family want to use each other, and if Yu Xiu really marries, it will inevitably make a fuss, even if the head of the Yu family can't understand this matter, the rest of the Yu family will not make this decision even if he makes this decision.
After all, this is not the master of the Yu family, he always has to listen to the thoughts of other people in the Yu family, and those people secretly do not have their own careful thoughts, since this is the case, then Yu Zhaoyuan can naturally choose those jade family girls with outstanding qualifications.
Hearing the mother's words, Yu Zhaoyuan thought about it first, and then shook her head slightly, she remembered the demeanor and expression of Concubine Shu just now, clearly with a little bit of watching a good show, maybe she was also very dissatisfied with her, maybe the other party noticed something?
Yu Zhaoyuan is not too sure, but she doesn't want to talk to the grandmother next to her about many things, she just closes her eyes and recuperates, and the grandmother who just spoke is pouring tea for her, Yu Zhaoyuan thinks about going to see the head of the Zheng family for a while.
And at this time, what happened in the shop could not be hidden from the Zheng family, Yu Zhaoyuan brought Yu Xiu to the Zheng family, although they did not send someone to Yu Xiu's side to serve in order to avoid suspicion, but they still sent a few maids to drive the car from afar, they have also been specially trained, and they have always been good at finding out the news.
So the head of the Zheng family soon received the news, he was in the study looking at the letters exchanged with other families, thinking about what to do next, but before he could make up his mind, he heard someone come to pass the word.
The one who came to pass the word was the housekeeper of the Zheng family, and he was also a close confidant of Master Zheng, who served by his side before, and now he is in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, he has also read books, and he is quite intelligent, so Master Zheng likes to discuss things with him.
When he happened to hear Steward Zheng talk about this, he first pondered for a while, then frowned, put down the envelope in his hand, walked to the window and said:
"Originally, I wanted to unite with the Yu family, but this matter may be delayed now, although that Yu Zhaoyuan has some intelligence, but the woman she brought with her has mediocre qualifications and has always been impulsive, even if such a person is sent to the palace, he will definitely not be favored, even if he is favored
Falling out of favor, so it's better not to send it.
Originally, I wanted her to support each other with the women of the Zheng family, so as to occupy a place in the palace, but looking at her posture, it was really unsmart, not to mention what Yu Zhaoyuan swore at the beginning, which was still very different from what we saw.
It is estimated that it is just some superficial feelings, in this case, the Yu family is not so important, although the Yu family is also a family, its identity is far inferior to the Zheng family, and it is not worthy of our friendship."
Steward Zheng listened to Master Zheng's words, and also nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, the most important thing is that the slave deliberately went outside to check it, because the Zheng family also had some operations in Pingcheng before, but the results of my inspection showed that the shop was not the property of the palace, but it was specially claimed by the concubine Niangniang to give the Yu family no face, so it seems that the relationship between the two of them is probably not even a face-to-face relationship."
It is estimated that Na Yu Zhaoyuan is deliberately operating, and Concubine Shu has no intention of meeting her, in this case, we are so good friends with the Ningzhou Yu family, Concubine Shu will inevitably not like it, so your attitude may also change."
After hearing this, Master Zheng was even more determined to treat the Yu family with the attitude he had originally imagined a few times in his heart, he nodded and looked at the scenery outside the window and said:
"Just follow what you said, in that case, when Yu Zhaoyuan comes back in a while, let her not meet the guest room first, and invite her to come in and say that I have something to discuss with her, but according to her intelligence, even if I don't take the initiative to come to her, she will definitely have other chips to show."
In this case, you can take a look at her chips first, and then make a decision, on the surface, you must avoid suspicion with the Yu family, but you can make friends behind the scenes, after all, Yu Zhaoyuan is still quite intelligent, not to mention that although our Zheng family has sent a woman to the palace, it is not favored.
She was deliberately cultivated by the Zheng family, and I heard that there was also a woman in the Yu family who entered the palace, although at the beginning she was only given the position of a woman, but now she is quite a bit of grace, it is estimated that Yu Zhaoyuan has specially raised her, if my Zheng family daughter has such a favor, then it will naturally be more convenient to climb up in the future.
If I can get a little bit of Yu Zhaoyuan's teaching, then it will be more effective to raise them in the future, but when I asked her before, Yu Zhaoyuan always talked about him left and right, and we can talk to her again this time to see what her attitude is?"
Steward Zheng naturally should be, he originally planned to go down to make arrangements, but he didn't expect Master Zheng to stop him again and said:
"How's going on Uncle's side? What's going on now? I have heard that he has recently taken two more concubines."
As soon as he talked about it, Master Zheng couldn't help frowning, he really couldn't get used to Uncle Zheng's behavior, but Uncle Zheng really didn't have much talent in business, he specially invited someone to teach him, but he was not interested in these.
finally hired him the daughter of Mrs. Li in Beijing, thinking that he could assist him some, and the daughter-in-law was indeed virtuous, but Uncle Qi was quite cold to her, but instead carried a bunch of concubines to the entrance, for this matter, Master Zheng reprimanded, and even used family law, but Uncle Zheng repeatedly did not change.
At this time, Zheng Xiuyu showed a bit of talent, and Master Zheng simply put aside Uncle Zheng and instead cultivated Zheng Xiuyu, but although he is now a little loose about Uncle Zheng's discipline, he doesn't want him to act recklessly, after all, this is also a loss of face for the Zheng family.
"Yes, the slave deliberately went to investigate, the two aunts newly brought in by the uncle are from ordinary families in the Zhuangzi, but they are quite beautiful, and they were seen by the uncle who was playing on the Zhuangzi, so they were accepted as concubines, although the uncle also favored them a little, but in the end they were not too outstanding, and the slaves would be interested in staring at them, you don't have to worry too much about this matter."
The head of the Zheng family knew that Steward Zheng had always been very competent, and he didn't want to spend any more energy on such a trivial matter, so he just gave one more advice.
"In that case, you will watch with your own heart, and if anything is done according to your ideas, if the uncle has anything that is out of line, you can report it to me as soon as possible, and you don't have to cover it up for him, if he only carries a few concubines
room, this matter is also up to him, just don't make too much trouble."
"After listening to the words of the Zheng family master, Steward Zheng should be, and then he retreated.
And when Yu Zhaoyuan came back from the store to find Master Zheng, she saw Master Zheng sitting at the desk, Yu Zhaoyuan first nodded to Master Zheng, then walked up to him, and said with a smile to Master Zheng:
"Originally, I had something to ask Master Zheng, but I didn't expect you to have something to look for me, so it was a coincidence."
Listening to Yu Zhaoyuan's words, Master Zheng raised his head with a smile, his eyes were a little meaningful, he got up from the chair, and said with a somewhat leisurely attitude:
"It's not a coincidence, but I heard a rumor that it is related to the daughter of the Yu family, and I think that although this is an internal matter of the Yu family, but you are living in the Zheng family, I can't be too indifferent.
What's more, this matter can't be lightly brushed by, and when it comes to the matter of the concubine, even if I have to treat it well, I specially asked you to come to discuss it and see what your attitude is? We will also discuss how to deal with this matter."
