Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues and real murders appear) Chapter 25 Once you go to the Wang family, there will be a coincidence
A turmoil in the morning saved time, so that Shi Niang's heart became more and more unsure of what kind of temperament Mrs. Wei was, if she treated Ah Zhen's sister and brother well was to hide people's eyes and ears, and did not want to be talked about being harsh and unkind, then it seems that she should not show cold treatment of the second room, is it possible, this person is tired and alienated to the point of undisguised undisguised, but he really cares about the "more threatening" long house? But my aunt could never have died of a sudden illness, and my aunt's death was bound to be related to Pei Zheng's extermination! If it wasn't for Mrs. Wei's persecution, then could it be her uncle?
Eleven Niang closed her eyes, she really didn't want to believe that her uncle was treacherous and sanctimonious.
She knew from the past that her grandfather was not very willing to marry the Liu family, and later agreed, one was because of the princess Qi in the middle, and the other was also after examination, and she did think that Aunt Liu was not like her father, and was taught and managed very well by her biological mother, Mrs. Yuan, with excellent ability and political integrity.
Eleven Niang didn't know very well why her grandfather disdained Liu Zheng, the head of the Liu family, probably because she thought that her character was not good, so she was not happy to marry, but Princess Qi was her grandmother's cousin, and she was a close friend with Mrs. Yuan.
However, at that time, because my aunt and uncle were still young, there was no official document, and it was just a verbal discussion.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mrs. Yuan to die, and Liu Zheng married Wei's stepfamily.
After Eleven Niang remembered her aunt and Lu, Princess Qi discussed with her grandmother a few more times at the deathbed plea of Mrs. Yuan, combined with the words she vaguely heard her mother to comfort her aunt at that time, it seems that Wei is also quite active about this marriage, and does not care about her stepson marrying the daughter of the prestigious family.
After getting married, Aunt Liu and Aunt Liu were also very affectionate, and when my aunt returned to Ning, they were all smiling.
is different from the two Liu Xinyi brothers at present, although the aunt only gave birth to a pair of children, which is far less than enough for the Liu family, who has been worried about the lack of heirs since Liu Zheng's generation, but Aunt Liu does not accept concubines, and there are not even concubines, and the grandmother is consciously happy and thinks that the aunt is really blessed.
Eleven Niang remembered that she was getting older, and her grandmother and mother were not very shy about these affairs, so she heard her grandmother sigh, saying that it was also her aunt's luck, and Webster's was the stepfamily in the end, and later gave birth to a parent, and she was not a harsh person. As for Liu Zheng, I heard that the old man is becoming more and more unpresentable, under the pretext that the heirs don't know how many concubines they have accepted, and the family is restless, who knows that in the end there are only two concubines, and the rest are daughters, Liu Zheng indulges in lust, and doesn't care about the eldest son, otherwise even if the uncle is a rare and righteous man, there is a high hall in charge, and he can't be arbitrary.
But at this time, if Pei Zheng destroyed the door and had the Liu family involved......
At that time, Liu Zheng had already passed away, even if Mrs. Wei was not at odds with the Queen Mother, as a woman, her actions were limited, Liu Xinyi had not been left to pick up the legacy at that time, and it was impossible for her to have that ability as a concubine, Liu Junyi was still in Fuyang at that time, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip, and only her uncle could participate in Kyoto!
And the Liu family is full of people, and the only one who can win the trust of his grandfather is his uncle, who can make use of the hidden murderer behind the scenes.
Pei Zheng wiped out the clan, his aunt died violently, the Liu family was named a noble concubine, the uncle was knighted, and the two sons of the Liu family had to be reused or high-grade......
This also seems to explain why Mrs. Wei is not jealous of her uncle's title, because many benefits are due to her uncle.
The more Shi Niang speculated in this direction, the more frightened she naturally became.
But she can't rule out this possibility, the four words of glory and wealth have created how many ungrateful and human-faced beasts have been created since ancient times!
What's more, the real culprit behind the scenes is likely to be that person......
The accomplices even have a heavy shield of the word "loyalty" to cover all reprimands, not to mention any weakness.
Shi Niang clenched her fists tightly, only to feel that her chest seemed to be firmly squeezed by a huge piece of lead and iron, and the pain rushed from her heart to her throat, making her breathless.
And just then, the ox cart finally rolled to a halt.
Xiao Shi was still quite cold: "You originally knew the etiquette and stability, and I also saved a lot of trouble, but today Qi Niang and Jiu Niang did not follow, and I discussed with Yuan Shimu about other important matters, and later you joked with the little lady of the Wang family, remember to be more cautious than usual." ”
This is already in front of the gate, the Jingzhao Wang's family.
Eleven Niang restrained all her emotions and smiled.
The mansion is entering the second screen door, I heard that the Yuan family has been waiting here, for the gift of hospitality, she is of course dressed up to welcome today, but even if the golden green light on the high bun of Ruyun is beautiful, it is difficult to hide the gloom between Yuan's eyebrows.
Behind Yuan's sisters, Wang Shiniang was looking forward to it with great interest, especially Fifteen Niang, who had quietly stood on tiptoe while her mother was unprepared. Walking with Liu Shi Niang for two months, the two sides have been acquainted, Wang Shi Niang is lively and playful age, quite disgusted with his brother and sister dull and boring, there is a little Liu Niang is just in line with her wishes, neither noisy and willful, but also smart and clever, is after the separation, Wang Shi Niang is very concerned about this "New Year's friend", today I heard that she is going to visit, happy early in the morning did not stop, rummaged out a lot of things, and planned to give a brain to the little girl, she will not be able to close her mouth.
However, for Yuan, Xiao's trip was not sudden and unexpected.
Mo said that her family Qilang saved the life of the daughter of the Liu family, and the Liu family would naturally prepare a ceremony to come to the door to formally thank her, so she said that about the marriage, Liu Siniang removed the clothes, and the Liu family also came to understand the number of rites, so as to teach the Wang family to prepare for the invitation.
And the root cause of Yuan's unhappiness is precisely because of the marriage.
After returning to Beijing, listening to the gossip of the concubines and the changes in officialdom over the years, the Yuan family is more and more unhappy with this family business, but compared with many concubines, she was born at the bottom, and because she only has one son, she has never been valued by Aunt Weng, not to mention that she didn't dare to speak out against Weng's father to decide on this marriage, but yesterday it was easy to muster up the courage to test a sentence in front of her husband, "The concubine is thinking, it is better to wait for the spring of next year, and then the marriage date is not the icing on the cake", and the result was a complaint.
"A woman's opinion, and the first can be the icing on the cake? It's just the first, and the vacancy may take five or six years, three years ago, Siniang was mourned because of the death of his mother, and you still complained about the delay of Qilang, and then you are not in a hurry? Are you willing to let Shichiro wait another five or six years before getting married? Besides, I discussed with Shichiro that I didn't plan to let him go next spring, but to study for another two years and apply for the Jinshi Course. ”
Knowing that his son's marriage could not be postponed, but the scientific examination was postponed, Yuan only felt that the situation was worse.
It is said that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", which shows the difficulty of entering the Shidenke, although in case of being admitted, it is faster than Mingjing to get a job, but Qilang is not a child of those inferior clans, the Wang family is Jingzhao Ten Wang! Once Qilang passes the exam, he is still afraid that there will be no one to recommend him, how can he be like those who have no way out and have been waiting for several years?
These words, Yuan can only keep them in his heart, and he doesn't dare to really reason with her husband.
Where is she in this mood?
Especially when he saw Xiao sitting in front of him, he had not changed at all from many years ago, he was still fairy and jade, graceful and slender, and he didn't look like a mother at all, thinking that he was only a few years older than Xiao's, and his sideburns actually had silver hair, not from time to time, Yuan's mood was even more gloomy.
But he had to wake up his spirits, smile and laugh.
It wasn't until I heard that Eleven Niang had been prefaced and raised by the Xiao family, that the Yuan family was a little lucky, and said that it was not in vain that she worked hard to envelop this girl, but it was really a little edification.
After leading Xiao's mother and daughter to meet their mother-in-law, Yuan reluctantly welcomed the guests to the residence, although she also understood that the marriage was imperative, and the candidates could not be temporarily replaced, but she couldn't solve this knot in her heart, so she had a big talk with Xiao's daughter-in-law, not only did she not ask about the current situation of her future daughter-in-law, but she didn't even let her two daughters lead Eleven Niang to play by herself, and she had the intention to make Xiao's mouth open.
Of course, Xiao Shi also felt that Yuan Shi was deliberately perfunctory, and his heart gradually became heavy.
Siniang and Wang Qilang's family affairs have passed the ceremony, six ceremonies are over, only the invitation period, personal welcome, Wang Qilang's father and uncle came to the house to congratulate on the day of the New Year's Day, and also talked with her family Langjun very happily, obviously there is no intention of regretting the marriage, how can you look at Yuan's situation today, it seems that he is not very happy? This is not good, the A family is bent on promoting the marriage of the two surnames of King Liu, in case something happens, how can I explain it? After such a hesitation, Xiao Shi also resisted the impulsive idea of being ready to speak out in a fit of anger just now, and patiently accompanied the Yuan family to go around in circles.
The two little ladies of the Wang family were ignorant, but they felt bored when they heard this gossip, and they were a little unhappy.
Eleven Niang noticed Yuan's perfunctory intentions and Xiao's forbearance and dissatisfaction, of course she knew what it was for, not to mention that this was an opportunity to curry favor with Xiao, even if it was to help her little cousin, she would not stand idly by.
Fortunately, at the moment, she takes advantage of her young age, and it is not an exaggeration to be rude once in a while.
Therefore, when Yuan's tirade came to an end easily, and he picked up the peach syrup and drank it slowly to moisten his throat, Eleven Niang suddenly interjected: "Mother, mother, I saw that there was a peach blossom forest in the garden, and I really wanted to enjoy it, and I hope that my mother and mother would give permission." ”
Xiao Shi was overjoyed, good boy, he really had eyes, but he pretended to be lightly reprimanded: "Why are you so annoying." ”
The Yuan family had no choice but to let the two daughters who became radiant and looking forward to the friendship of the landlord after listening to Shi Niang's request, and had to excuse Shi Niang: "It should have made the guests happy, how can it be called annoying." "But there is no resentment in my heart - why is this child so ignorant today?
Xiao Shi watched the girls out of the hall, and finally said the words that had been prepared for a long time: "This morning, the Ah family did not forget to entrust, taking advantage of the filial piety of San Lang and Siniang, but it happened that Ah Yuan, you have returned to Kyoto, and want to set up a banquet, invite the ladies of your mansion to get together, and take care of them on the way." ”
As a woman, Xiao Shi is always not good at bluntly asking the Wang family to prepare a ceremony, but when it comes to this, it has already reached that meaning, if Yuan is perfunctory, Xiao is determined to ask for the right word, if Yuan really wants to regret marriage, then she has to reason well, now, she no longer worries that the juniors will not be able to end the scene after talking in front of them.
Yuan's heart was just uncomfortable so he deliberately embarrassed, and how could he dare to seriously regret the marriage, so he had to force a smile: "I thank Mrs. Tai for her kindness first...... Ah Jia also said yesterday that it was estimated that Siniang had been removed, and it was time to discuss the request. ”
Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, I will send an invitation tomorrow, and the specific matters will be discussed by the two families sitting together." ”
Here, the Xiao family took advantage of his wish, but Wang Qilang in the flower garden was waiting anxiously, and it was easy to see the three little girls walking towards this side, and hurriedly greeted He Zhan: "It's coming, let's go forward and pretend to meet by chance." ”
