Now, of course, it was Mrs. Tai's turn to be surprised: "How did you know about such a big event?" ”

Of course, the eleventh mother, who had been prepared, told the experience of Suzhou Xian Zizhai in detail: "I saw that the store was very grateful to Pei Hou, even though he was held accountable by the VIP, but he also had a reasonable basis to refute it, and he guessed at the time that what the store said should be true, and he was indeed rescued by Pei Hou and Pei Xiang...... I have always been puzzled, and I can't figure out how Pei Xiang can see the injustice and save the people, and he should have the virtue of high style and integrity, but how can he commit the great crime of rebellion later. ”

Of course, her purpose at this time was not to ask the truth from Mrs. Tai's mouth, but just to observe Mrs. Tai's attitude.

This question is obviously even more difficult to answer, although Mrs. Wei attaches great importance to this talented granddaughter, and does not regard her as an ignorant child, and she was willing to patiently explain her doubts in the past, but after all, Pei Zheng's case is very important, and there are all kinds of hidden secrets, so Mrs. Wei will naturally not easily resort to it at this time.

It was because she groaned longer this time that she patted the back of Shi Niang's hand: "Pei Zheng plotted against the case and decided for the heavenly family, and the details of it are not known to the world...... Only you have a good opinion, at least in my eyes, the fourth sister's grandfather Pei Gong is indeed a person of high wind and bright festivals, not to mention the rest, but to say that at present, Jingzhao Shiwang, although he is a famous family, it seems that the scenery is prominent, but because there are many family servants, and the clansmen are even more numerous, and a lot of materials are needed for daily clothing, food, housing and transportation, so there is a job field ancestral property and the court's reward, which is not so easy to maintain, but our family, in addition to fixed income such as the grange and the grange, also has to do business, in order to maintain the current prosperity and comfort. ”

Not to mention that there is a big family of power, accepting bribes, and using the public for personal gain.

Mrs. Wei sighed: "But Pei Gong is the patriarch of the family, and he strictly orders the clansmen not to seek wealth by seeking public and private interests, and even strictly prohibits his family from doing business and competing with the people for profit, so he takes thrift as the style of the Pei family, and resolutely does not allow extravagance and waste." Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai even sneered: "I don't know if Pei Gong conspired against me and other women in the house, but I also heard that the heavenly family did not copy Pei's mansion, but the executive officials did not collect many rare treasures, in addition to the Pei family has accumulated a lot of rare books and paintings for generations, and even copied out two boxes full of IOUs, all of which are because of various natural disasters and man-made disasters that lead to food and clothing for ordinary people, and they have no choice but to sell themselves in desperation, and also borrowing interest-free to relieve people's urgent needs. ”

Of course, Eleven Niang knew about this, but now listening to Mrs. Wei, her mood was very complicated.

"I don't know how long Pei Gong persisted in this kind of good deed, but he acted in secret, and never publicized it to win praise......" The smile on the corner of Mrs. Wei's lips was even colder: "However, Pei Gong was beheaded and his family property was confiscated, but the official in charge of copying and punishing him did not benefit from it, and under the pretext that Pei's family property was returned to the heavenly family, he forced the debts of the civilians to pay off with interest, seized people's houses, raped people's wives and daughters, and forced them to be slaves!" ”

Eleven Niang lowered her eyes slightly, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, clenched her fists and reminded herself to stay calm, and only diverted her thoughts to analyze Mrs. Wei's attitude.

If Mrs. Wei is really related to Pei Zheng's annihilation, she can deal with it with that sentence that the Heavenly Family's decision cannot be argued, and there is no need to say so many words at all...... It seems that he sneered at the so-called heavenly family and was extremely indignant.

"Eleven Niang, although your wisdom is not ordinary, but you are still young, how much is right and wrong in this world, it's not that you think it's as simple and clear as black and white now, only mention Pei Zheng's old case today, but there is no guilt in front of me, you must not mention it again in front of others, what I said today, you have heard it, and don't tell others, can you remember?"

Eleven Niang hurriedly said.

In fact, Mrs. Wei's blunt statement today is because she was emotionally aroused by her granddaughter's touching on old things, and secondly, she knows that Eleven Niang has always been cautious and not a talker, of course, there is another important reason...... I'll leave that for later.

Although Eleven Niang judged that Mrs. Wei should have nothing to do with the old case, and was indignant and sympathetic to the Pei clan's annihilation, it was unlikely that she would persecute her aunt.

Liu Zhen has entered the "countdown" of leaving the cabinet at this time, of course, there is no need to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with her sisters, but because these concubines have to come to Xuxiaotang for dinner every day, Liu Zhen will also wait until her sisters leave school, and then they will be together, only today...... But it came earlier than usual.

Mrs. Tai asked, "What time is it, why do you leave school?" ”

Liu Hao replied with a smile: "Originally, there was still a piano lesson, but my husband took a leave of absence due to personal matters, so the granddaughters wanted to come to talk to the eldest mother earlier." ”

This "speech", Mrs. Wei actually compared the history of a group of girls, and her evaluation was not too high: "The recitation is quite fluent, but only the interpretation cannot be integrated." But it was not too strict, originally the daughters of the nobles studied the scriptures, most of them just for "unforeseen needs", and did not need to participate in the imperial examination. Moreover, everyone's talent is limited, not to mention women, even those who have studied hard for ten years cannot all be integrated and rich.

At present, the famous and noble girls, although most of them have recited and studied such as "Analects", "Book of Rites", "Mencius" and so on under the supervision of their parents, but some are just coping, and do not like this kind of boring scriptures.

Of course, the character and insight of the ladies are also the same as the Jingyi and the talents, not the same, many of the ladies of the noble family are gentle and virtuous on the surface, but they are actually narrow-minded, insidious and vicious. Even among the daughters of the clan, there are many fiery temperaments, and they are not at all bound by the "entertainment criteria" such as tactfulness, and once there is a dispute, it is not uncommon to throw them in the face if they choke up.

In short, girls understand a lot of truths, but whether they behave like that according to reason or not is not necessarily the same.

However, according to the observation of Eleven Niang during this time, Mrs. Xu is Mrs. Wei and the Xiao family are both strict elders, and they are not overly arrogant to the younger generations, at least a few of the little ladies are still gentle and peaceful, and even the five mothers from the Qiao family are also generous, friendly and tolerant, never quarrel with their sisters, and Qiao's style is very different, which should also be the work of Mrs. Wei's education.

Thinking about it this way, Qiao's two sisters-in-law seem to have been sent to study in another family by Liu Shizhi early, and the two concubines, Qiao's family didn't want to pay attention to them at all, so as not to be "distorted"...... Could it be that this is what Liu Shizhi did with his heart, deliberately not letting Qiao's children teach? The discord between Liu Shiyi and Mrs. Wei may also be an illusion.

Shi Niang really thinks that with Mrs. Wei's means and knowledge, if she really hates her concubine, how can Liu Shizhi have today's situation?

It seems that Liu Shi's biological mother is still alive today, and it seems that after Liu Zheng died, he invited himself to go to the Grange Garden to recuperate.

If Mrs. Wei really rejects the concubine, how can she tolerate the concubine who is supported by the lord of Lang to be so leisurely and quiet.

According to Shi Niang, although this lady is not as vicious and vicious, she is not soft-hearted, and she should not allow her concubine to be arrogant.

Many of the Liu family's internal affairs seem to be gradually becoming more open-minded......

Most of the Qiao family was deceived and deceived by the whole family, and she was still delusional in mastering the middle feed, but she didn't know that she was in a worrying situation early on.

Binu once said that Qiao's had to marry Liu Shiyi, but Liu Zheng was stubborn, and Mrs. Tai didn't want Qiao's to enter the door at all, if Mrs. Tai and Liu Shizhi were originally harmonious...... Liu Shizhi should also be very resistant to Qiao's.

Eleven Niang was pondering something like this, and suddenly saw Cao Yuan walking inside, which was very different from the usual steady, and her face showed a little panic.

Listen to her report: "Mrs. Tai, a waiter suddenly came to the palace, saying that she was ordered by the Queen Mother to pass the word...... The lady has already greeted her. ”

Could it be that a storm is coming? Eleven Niang suddenly became nervous, glanced at Ah Zhen, who was still unconscious, worriedly, and immediately reviewed Mrs. Wei's expression, but saw that she seemed to have expected it, and only bowed her head slightly at this time: "Siniang, after you lead the sisters to temporarily avoid the partition door, remember that no matter what you hear, you can't speak rashly." ”

didn't let his granddaughter avoid it completely, but stayed in the small hall behind the door.

And Liu Zhen didn't seem surprised, Wu Niang also looked calm, but Qi Niang and Jiu Niang looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised.

A few little ladies sat quietly on the tooth seat behind the partition, and in less than a moment, they heard a male voice that was not only not sharp, but somewhat hoarse: "Mrs. Wanfu." ”

"The waiter doesn't need to be polite." Mrs. Tai's voice is still neither humble nor overbearing, and it is bland: "Please sit down, what advice does the Queen Mother have, please talk about it in detail." ”

I listened to the low and low dry twice, which made people laugh very uncomfortable.

"Today, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian were gossiping, and I heard Concubine Xian mention her former friend Yao Ji, saying that she had only come to Kyoto recently...... The Queen Mother sympathized with Concubine Xian and missed her old friend, so she let Concubine Xian go this time to see if Yao Ji was okay. ”

It's for Yao Ji!

Although Eleven Niang felt that it was unexpected - even though Concubine Yuanxian "protected her shortcomings", the Queen Mother should not be so ridiculous and interfere in the housework of Liufu for a concubine!

And the reaction was even greater was the Qi Niang sisters, one tightly tugged on the prison skirt and wore a drape, and the other stared at two angry eyes.
