"To be a concubine? Probably not, right? Geng Wen thought about Geng Xun's attitude when he said this, and he was a little skeptical.

Ruan's unwise words were originally made because he was too angry, after all, Geng Xingbing was the concubine of the second room, and there was no reason for a concubine from the Bofu to be a concubine, even if that person was a powerful minister.

After all, An Pingbo's plaque still hangs above the vermilion gate.

But seeing that Geng Wen actually fell into deep thought because of her words, Ruan Shi was shocked.

"Uncle, he's crazy?"

yes, is Geng Xun crazy? Isn't what he cares about most is the title of Earl Anping? If Geng Xingbing is made a concubine, the three words An Pingbo will be contaminated with dust and become the talk of those big families in Ningdu City after tea and dinner.

Not only that, but Bofu has a concubine, such as Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, who are unmarried Bofu girls, and even Geng Xingyue, who has already married, if her husband's family learns about it, I am afraid that she will also be implicated.

"I'll ask my father tomorrow." Eventually, Geng Wen decided.

"Dad, grandfather didn't say it before, if you ask, he probably won't tell you." Geng Xingshuang analyzed, "Unless you and the second uncle really give two thousand taels of silver to your grandfather each, then grind it, and your grandfather may be relieved." ”

"We will never take silver." Ruan Shi said, looking at Geng Wen, Geng Wen nodded again and again, "Yes, we won't take this silver, and neither will the third child." ”

The money in the hands of their husband and wife was for the purpose of marrying their son's daughter-in-law and buying a dowry for their daughter.

He also plans to buy two more Zhuangzi, a total of three Zhuangzi, one for his son, one for his daughter, and one for their husband and wife.

Originally, the money was tight, where could it be so cheap for others.

In the afternoon, Geng Xingshuang went to Mingshang Pavilion and summoned Zhanpei and Wu Juan.

"When you went to Tao's house recently, did you find anything?"

Tao Yuyu was worried that Geng Xingbing would attack her for the sake of possible identity issues, because Geng Xingshuang had no evidence for this, and he couldn't directly find out that Geng Xingbing and Tao Yuyu were held wrong, so they could only let Zhan Pei and them pay attention to the Tao family's situation from time to time.

Zhan Pei shook his head, "I went to Wu Juan a few times, but we didn't find anything abnormal, and then Zhujian found a few helpers near the Tao family, and asked them to pay attention to the situation of the Cao family. ”

Geng Xingshuang also knew that it was not realistic to let Zhan Pei and them pay attention to the Tao family's situation, but if she let the Tao family go, she felt unbearable, after all, in her heart, she had automatically substituted Tao Yuyu as her cousin.

Although she didn't like Geng Cheng and Yao, and she was even more disgusted with Geng Cheng, Tao Yuyu was really pitiful, and now Zhu Jian thought of asking someone to do this, which was really a good idea.

"That's a good idea, I'll give you a year's ...... for how much money you can hire to hire a helper."

"Sister Shuang, I also want to participate in this matter!" Before Geng Xingshuang's words fell, a crisp voice came from outside.

As soon as she heard this, Geng Xingshuang couldn't help but show a big smile, she stood up, opened the door herself, and greeted her.

"Why do we wish the eldest lady to come over today?"

The person wearing a dazzling concubine-colored summer dress outside is not Zhu Yan, who else can be.

"It's already a little cold today, you are still wearing such thin clothes and going out, don't freeze!"

As soon as Geng Xingshuang's words came out, Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Shuang, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you become so verbose, you are like my mother, a little old-fashioned, don't you see that many people outside are wearing summer clothes? How can you be like you, who is young, before the autumn wind rises, you changed into this bulky autumn dress early. ”

Geng Xingshuang laughed angrily, "The autumn clothes in our shop are also very light, how can there be a proprietor like you, smashing your own signboard." ”

Zhu Yan choked and forgot about this stubble, "Okay, in fact, autumn clothes are also very good-looking, but I still have a lot of summer clothes that I haven't wown, I have to seize the days when I can still wear summer clothes in the last few days and wear them all over again." ”

The two were amused for a while, and Geng Xingshuang asked, "Sister Yan, you just said that you also want to participate?" You know what we're talking about? ”

Geng Xingshuang hasn't told Zhu Yan about this yet.

"You're talking about Master Xiaoyu, right? I just heard some next door, that ...... I didn't mean to, it's just that next door to your house is the account room, so I just went to look at the account book, and I was going to wait for you to finish talking and then look for you, but I didn't expect to hear about it. ”

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "It's okay, I can't make up my mind about this matter, I always feel that things are what I guessed, but there seems to be something wrong, like a link is missing." ”

"Tell me quickly, I'll help you analyze and analyze, it's really not good, I'll let Zhuqing take someone to help you find out."

Zhu Yan's eyes sparkled and urged.

Geng Xingshuang will be since Geng Cheng was injured, Mrs. Bo in order to pray for Geng Cheng, let the Bofu family go to Yaowang Temple to incense, on the way to Yaowang Temple, passing through a place called Xiaozao Village, the third aunt Jiang told them that the second aunt Yao was born in a family in Xiaozao Village Geng Xingbing, and the hostess of that family also gave birth on that day, and there happened to be a stable woman at home, she only gave birth one or two hours earlier than Yao.

And that family is the Tao family, and Tao Yuyu is the daughter of the Tao family who was born on the same day as Geng Xingbing.

Later, Tao's mother was hit, and she got a round birthmark on her mother's left shoulder from Tao Yuyu's mouth, and she said all kinds of things again.

"I haven't seen Master Xiaoyu's mother, but Zhan Pei has seen it, she said that Aunt Tao and my fourth sister do have some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes, but Aunt Tao has been sick in recent years, and she is aging badly, if it is not for the special comparison, it is difficult to see."

"Does Miss Geng have a round birthmark on her left shoulder like Aunt Tao?"

Hearing such a thing, Zhu Yan's eyes brightened, she knew that something was wrong, but she didn't expect it to be such a powerful thing, she felt that she had something to do next.

Geng Xingshuang could tell from Zhu Yan's obviously excited look that she was thinking.

She shook her head and sighed, "Sister Yan, in the future, you have to be more reserved in front of others."

Zhu Yan glared at her, "You're embarrassed to say me, I don't know who it is, as long as you hear which house in the city is lively, your eyes are a little brighter than the stars in the sky." ”

Geng Xingshuang glanced back at Jinbao and Half Scroll.

The two nodded honestly.

That's what you are, girl!

Well, Geng Xingshuang admitted that he was also a member of the gossip, and he didn't seem to be qualified to say Zhu Yan.

"The fourth sister has been in her own house in addition to going out of the house these days, and the last time the old lady of Yongqing Houfu had her birthday, because her grandmother was in a bad mood, only the third aunt took the seventh sister to go, so I haven't found a chance, Jinbao is talking to the fourth sister's maid Pingshan, but the maid who was responsible for the fourth sister's bathing and changing clothes before was Shenshui, and after Shenshui became a Bofu girl, the fourth sister never let the maid serve closely."

As for Geng Xingshui, she stayed in her room almost every day, and Geng Xingshuang couldn't find a chance to ask her about it.

So until now, Geng Xingshuang has not been able to determine whether Geng Xingbing has a birthmark on his left shoulder.

Zhu Yan said firmly: "That must be there, you think, Miss Geng didn't have the habit of not having to be served by someone before, but as soon as the maid called Shenshui left, she didn't need it, if there was no matter of Master Xiaoyu, we can guess that she is used to sinking water and is not used to serving other maids, but now, I think it must be that she doesn't want people to see the birthmark on her body."

Geng Xingshuang also guessed like this, but speculation cannot be used as evidence, and even if there is evidence, what to do next, Geng Xingshuang has no rules in his heart.

"If Master Xiaoyu is really your fourth sister, she is still working as a cook in Ruyi Building!"

Zhu Yan sighed, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Even if it was really the wrong child, with evidence, grandfather, uncle, second uncle, second aunt, and elder brother, they may not be willing to admit this fact."

"It's normal not to change people, after all, even if you are not biological, you have been raising it for more than ten years and have feelings, but you can take Master Xiaoyu back to Bofu, even if Bofu is down, raising one more girl is nothing, and Master Xiaoyu no longer has to make a living in that smoky kitchen."

Geng Xingshuang shook her head, "You don't know, Fourth Sister she ...... now"

Geng Xingshuang thought about it for a while, and still told Zhu Yan what Geng Xingbing had done these days.

Zhu Yan frowned, "Even Zhanpei lost it?" ”

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "So even if the fourth sister goes out again, I don't dare to let Sister Zhan and them follow, in case I anger the other party and hurt their lives, I will regret it." ”

"That's it, the next time she goes out again, I'll let Zhuqing follow."

Geng Xingshuang wanted to refuse, she didn't want to pull Zhu Yan in.

Zhu Yan said: "I'm not just to join in the fun, when you mentioned the village called Xiaozao Village, I felt familiar, just thought about it carefully, remembered that my grandmother had mentioned that when the pillow Chang changed, the second uncle and the second aunt were afraid of the army of King Xi and King Ke, abandoned the city and abandoned the house to flee, at that time the second aunt was close to giving birth, and gave birth to her cousin Zhu Ni halfway, after giving birth to a very poor body, the hemorrhage almost disappeared, it seems that later it was in a place called Xiaozao Village to rest, after a few days of rest, the overall situation of Ningdu has been decided, did not go to Zhuangzi, The man was arrested by his grandfather. ”
