Chapter 318: A Request for a Visit

Mrs. Tang's thoughts, Begonia had no way to find out. She didn't have any evidence with Haijiao, so she couldn't rashly talk to her cousin Xie Wenzai or the people from the Zhenguo Mansion about her suspicions, so she could only rely on herself to investigate.

Begonia has a feeling of not knowing where to start, but Haijiao is much calmer than her.

The whole thing was just a conjecture on his part, but his years of experience as an agent in his previous life had taught him that this conjecture was anything but a pipe dream. He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the two grandmothers of the Tang family, and now he just needed to confirm this.

He said to Haitang: "I plan to find a way to inquire first, whether these two grandmothers can have access to the news of the army in the Tang family?" If it is not good, the news of the Zhenguo Mansion is also good. Do they have any dealings with the Duberchins? Is there any contact with the Sun family spies, ears and eyes who have been identified? As long as one of them is confirmed, they are suspicious, and we can directly report it to the Zhenguo Mansion and let the Zhenguo Gong send someone to check the details. With his old man coming out, the Tang family will also cooperate. Can the two housewives escape in such a close investigation? ”

Haijiao looked confident, and when Haitang saw this, he also calmed down a little: "Then what method does my brother plan to use to check these two grandmothers?" We don't know the Tang family! Although she had met Tang Hui before, she couldn't talk about friendship. At this time, if she proposed to Zhou Wenjun that she wanted to visit Tang's family, it would be very abrupt, and it would be easy to be mistaken for someone to see a joke.

Haitang thought for a while: "Is there a way for my brother to get close to the children of the Tang family?" It is best to be Tang Hui's brother, the kind that has a better relationship with her, not born to this Mrs. Tang. ”

Haijiao said: "She has a cousin named Tang Meng, who has a good relationship with Zhou Yijun, and once went out of the city with us to play. It is said that his mother is the sister of Tang Hui's biological mother, and he and Tang Hui are both cousins and cousins, and they have always been close. Recently, Tang Hui has had accidents one after another, and he has no intention of playing, so he doesn't play with us anymore. I asked Zhou Yijun for ideas, and I should be able to ask him out. ”

Haitang asked, "Then how do you ask him about the two nurturing grandmothers?" If you suddenly ask about this kind of thing, it will also lead people to doubt, right? ”

Haijiao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing, you just watch me act." ”

Some things are little secrets between him and his friends, and he is not good to mention to his little sister for no reason. But he was still quite confident in asking Tang Meng about the inside of the Tang family. By the way, he can also sell personal favors to the new friends of the Zhou and Tang families. Even if they learn the truth in the future, they will only thank him and will not blame him for hiding it today.

The reef wanted to sell Guanzi, although Haitang was annoyed, he couldn't say anything, so he had to let him go.

On the second day after the Lantern Festival, Haijiao went out early again. He not only had to go to Zhou Yijun today to discuss the matter of dating Tang Meng, but also took the wheelchair drawings that his little sister Haitang stuffed into him to show the carpenter and ask if he could make it. As for the carriage made by the carpenter, Jin Jiashu will arrange for someone to pick it up, but he doesn't need to worry about it.

Haijiao went out like this, Haitang was at home, and he didn't know what his plans were, so he could only speculate secretly, and he also had to pay attention to Zhou Yijun's movements. Once it is confirmed that Zhou Yijun has moved back to the third room of the Zhou family, she will go to encourage her grandmother Ma to find a time to visit her aunt Zhou Ma as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yijun was even more anxious than her, as soon as she said that she wanted to move the Ma clan to visit Zhou Ma's family, the envoy from Zhou Ma's side arrived.

Zhou Ma sent the daughter and son-in-law of Ma Li and his wife to Hai's house to deliver a letter and invite his sister Ma to come over as a guest. As for the reason, Ma Lili's daughter Xiucheng said to her mother Aunt Ma "privately" under Ma's nose: "Mrs. has been very troubled recently, and Mrs. Tang has sent people several times to say that she wants to visit the old lady's illness, but Mrs. has pushed it back." According to common sense, Mrs. Tang should be interesting, I don't know what, she doesn't seem to understand Mrs. Hints, she still wants to come to visit the patient, and Mrs. doesn't know what to do.

"Ask the master, the master only told the wife not to offend the Tang family, as long as the old lady does not let the old lady see outsiders, nothing else. But what can my wife do? Neither could Mrs. Tang come to visit the patient, nor could she offend the Tang family, saying that she asked the Duchess of Zhenguo to come forward to greet Mrs. Tang, and the lord said that there was no need to alarm the long house for this little thing. My wife had no choice but to say that she was sick, and when she was sick, she would not need to receive foreign visitors. specially picked up Sister Yi'er back, but she also wanted to deceive the people outside, saying that she was letting her granddaughter go home to serve the sick! ”

However, faking illness is not a long-term solution. After the beginning of spring, Zhou Ma's still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn't keep pretending, so he had to excuse himself from illness and invite his sister over to discuss how to deal with it.

Ma Shi was speechless when he heard it: "The Zhou and Tang families are in-laws, and your master doesn't have to ask the Tang family for anything, if you don't want Mrs. Tang to see Mrs. Ma, just say it." Why should the eldest sister hide it? Now you have to rely on pretending to be sick to drive away customers, and in the future, it will be debunked, isn't it embarrassing?! ”

Ma Xiucheng smiled helplessly: "Mrs. wants to say it directly, but the old man is always worried about the reputation of the three rooms, and he doesn't want people outside to know that there is such a rebellion from the old lady in the family, and he has locked up his stepmother as a son......"

Although the Tang family is the in-laws of the Zhou family, the relationship between the old man Zhou Shigong and his family is mediocre and very respectable, so he did not inform the Tang family of what Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi did. If the Zhenguo Mansion revealed the inside story to his in-laws, he would not stop it, but he would not take the initiative to open up to the Tang family. Now he didn't even dare to ask the husband and wife of Zhenguo if they had ever mentioned Mrs. Ma's crime to Mrs. Tang? If Mrs. Tang knew, there was no reason why she insisted on visiting the patient......

Ma Shi was a little curious: "Is Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Ma very good?" Haven't you heard the eldest sister mention it before? ”

Xiu Tang couldn't say clearly: "The old lady was good friends with the old lady of the Tang family in her early years, but since the old lady went, there has been a lot less contact between the two sides, and they will give gifts to each other during the New Year's holidays and send people to say hello to each other, but there are not many times to meet." The Tang family held a banquet, and they no longer invited the old lady in the past few years. However, the old ladies and old feudal lords of various families in Chang'an City, but all those who are widowed, the Tang family will not invite them. The old lady once complained several times at home, saying that the Tang family was snobbish or something...... But then he walked around with the Tang family again. In the past few years, the family has set up banquets to entertain guests, and Mrs. Tang and Miss Tang are always a must-visit. ”

Because of the presence of a top lady in the Chang'an elite circle like Mrs. Tang, even if the relationship between the third room of the Zhou family and the Zhenguo Mansion is estranged, and Zhou Shigong has no prominent official position, outsiders always believe that Mrs. Ma is a noble lady with hands and eyes and a wide range of contacts. Mrs. Ma obviously has a grudge against the Tang family, but she still maintains this "friendship", I don't know if it has something to do with it.

However, after the news of the private glass workshop spread, Mrs. Ma soon became ill at home, and then the Zhou family's three rooms were closed, and the Tang family never went to the door again. They probably guessed that Mrs. Ma was deliberately shy about it. It stands to reason that the Tang family should also cooperate with the actions of the Zhou family's three rooms, and only need to pretend to be concerned to greet them, and then stop coming to the door in a funny way. It is really strange that Mrs. Tang is so persistent in coming to visit the patient.

Could it be that the Tang family heard about the collusion between Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi and the Sun family?

But even if that's the case, Mrs. Tang doesn't have to come to the door, right? Could it be that there is something unknown here?

Haitang secretly guessed on the side, so she persuaded her grandmother Ma: "Grandma, you just go and see your aunt, even if you don't do this, you haven't seen your aunt for a few days, right?" Shall I go with you? ”

Ma Shi thought about it: "Come on, I originally planned to go to see my eldest brother tomorrow." Since the eldest sister wants to see E, then I'll go to her first. ”
