Chapter 490: Urgent Report

The reef took the initiative to take an evasive attitude, but suddenly such a large group of people came in the alley, and it was impossible for other neighbors not to notice, and soon someone opened the crack in the door and carefully observed the movement outside.

After a while, someone in the Jin family's house opened the door and welcomed the large group of people outside the door, along with the carriage and guards, into the house, and calm returned to the alley.

As soon as the door of the Jin family was closed, someone immediately ran to the Hai family at the entrance of the alley to inquire about the situation. He just found out that the door of the Hai family was ajar, and he must have seen this team of people. The Hai family and the little brother of the Jin family are so familiar, they must know something inside, right?

Of course, Haijiao knew the inside story, but he couldn't tell people directly, so he only prevaricated with words. It's just that the man refused to give up, and went to other people's houses to visit the door, and after a while, he brought the boy of the Wang family to look for the reef. The reef has a headache, but it can only be patient to socialize with the neighbors.

After Ma Shangyi and his entourage entered the Jin family's house, they didn't come out for a long time, and it was past the normal time to come to the house. This made the neighbors even more curious, and they all guessed who was coming.

Some people recognized that the leader of the guards was someone from the Zhenguo Mansion, and guessed that the Zhenguo Duke and his wife had sent someone to visit the little brother of the Jin family; Some people think that most of the guards in that team are fresh-faced, and even the uniform system is not a common style in the northwest, and I don't know where the officers and soldiers came; There are also people who have heard the gossip and know that Jin Jiashu has an aunt who married into a big family, guessing that it should be his aunt who came to see him, and privately ridiculed that the Jin family died for half a year before Jin Jiashu's aunt came, and I am afraid that he is not so concerned about him......

Everyone has all kinds of conjectures, Haijiao knows the inside story, and listening to other people's nonsense, they only feel that it is ridiculous, but they can't make any clarifications.

After Ma Shangyi stayed in the Jin family for an hour, even the old lady of the Wang family couldn't help but run to the Hai family to chat with the Ma family. Ma naturally couldn't tell her about the Jin family, and the old lady of the Wang family didn't care, so she turned her head and asked what happened in the third room of the Zhou family today?

Zhen Guogong and his wife and Tu Tongzhi of Shaanxi Dusi came to the third room of the Zhou family together, and Zhou Shigong also ordered the door to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave, even relatives and friends were not allowed to enter, something must have happened. Some people said that when they saw Mrs. Hai coming out of the third room of the Zhou family, Mrs. Wang knew that she and Zhou Ma were sisters, and she must have grasped the first-hand news, so she came to inquire. She has a maiden cousin who is a junior officer under Zhou Shicheng, the second master of the third room of the Zhou family, and she is quite worried.

Ma had no choice but to appease Mrs. Wang with gentle words, take some unhurried news, and deal with it for the time being.

Mrs. Wang was not very satisfied, but at this time, the reef suddenly came in: "Grandma sent a colorful silk over, there is an urgent matter to discuss with grandma, I wonder if grandma will be free to see her this time?" ”

Ma couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Cai Juan is Zhou Ma's henchman, and she doesn't need to do small jobs such as sending messages and delivering letters, even in the Zhou family's three-room mansion, she is mostly sent to Cai Luo. The two sisters have been separated for less than half a day, what is the important thing that Zhou Ma can do, and he needs to send a colorful silk to pass the word?

Ma's expression suddenly became serious. She sat up straight and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile: "I'm really sorry, there are suddenly outsiders at home, look ......?"

Old Lady Wang blinked and said very knowingly, "Then Ming'er will come to talk to you again." If you encounter any difficulties, just ask. These old neighbors, as long as they can do their best, will do their best to help! ”

Mrs. Wang left quickly, and she passed by the colorful silk who hurriedly entered the door in the main courtyard, and she couldn't help but show a little interest. However, she has always known how to measure, so she will not talk too much here, and she will leave very simply.

The reef sent people out of the door, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thinking of Caijuan's expression, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and went to the main courtyard.

In the upper room of the main courtyard, Begonia had already rushed over with a letter, and was sitting next to her grandmother Ma, accompanying her to listen to Caijuan.

Cai Juan eagerly told Ma the reason why the mistress sent her to report the news: "Mrs. is not intentional...... Seeing that the eldest young master came out of the master's study, he seemed to be very sad, so he said a few more words, hoping that the eldest young master would not feel sorry for the old lady. But the eldest young master seemed to be very excited, and ran to the west courtyard to find the old lady. The guards stopped him from entering, so he went to beg the old man, saying that the old lady raised him so big, and he had no other way to repay, and in the last days of the old lady, he would accompany her old man more, which would be regarded as filial piety, and he would not have to feel indebted to anyone in the future. The old man felt that the eldest young master was reasonable, so he agreed......"

Ma Shi frowned when he heard this: "I have said it a long time ago, what is the eldest sister doing with this heart?!" Zhou Jinpu has his own Lao Tzu discipline, he doesn't take the eldest sister as a stepmother in his eyes, and he can't get enough of his nosy, why bother? ! She guessed that it must be the eldest sister who talked too much in front of Zhou Jinpu, which made her brother-in-law Zhou Shigong displease, right?

"That's not the case...... Caijuan said with a sad face, "The eldest young master didn't tell the master, what did the wife say to him, the master doesn't know yet!" The wife was also afraid that the old man would blame her, so she never said it clearly. ”

At this time, the reef walked in, saluted his grandmother, and sat down on the chair opposite.

Ma Shi waved his hand at his grandson, not impressed, but asked Cai Juan puzzled: "Then what are you anxious about?" Zhou Jinpu wants to go to Mrs. Ma to fulfill his filial piety, then let him go, the horizontal and vertical are in your house, and there is no way to get out of the moth. ”

Caijuan cried: "Mrs. remembered what Miss Watch reminded before, and was worried that the old lady would say something in front of the eldest young master, so she instigated him to help her escape, so she sent the slave and maid over to keep an eye on it. The slave and maid stood outside the house, and heard the eldest young master say to the old lady in avoidance...... Said that he would help her escape, and asked her if she had a trustworthy person or a place to go! ”

Ma's, Reef and Begonia were all taken aback.

Begonia looked puzzled: "Is the relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren so deep?" I thought that after Mrs. Ma exposed her true colors, Zhou Jinpu should have a dislike for this stepgrandmother. The dowry left to him by his biological mother seems to have been almost ruined, right? ”

Haijiao asked: "Will Zhou Jinpu just talk?" He is a waste who is not good at civil and military affairs, where does he have the ability to rescue Mrs. Ma under the heavy guard, hiding from others? ”

Ma also felt that this matter was unreliable: "Look at that kid doesn't seem to be such a filial person." Now that he is willing to chat with Mrs. Ma, he feels strange, let alone saving people? When did he get so daring?! ”

Caijuan cried: "Mrs. is very scared. She didn't know what the eldest young master wanted to do, so she was afraid that he would cause trouble. ”

Zhou Yijun has always been by her grandmother Zhou Ma's side, but she is much calmer than the latter. She thinks that Zhou Jinpu does not have this ability, and he is not like a junior who is so filial to Mrs. Ma.

In the past few months, Mrs. Ma has been under house arrest in the West Courtyard, if Zhou Jinpu really loved and raised his step-grandmother, he would not have visited her in the West Courtyard once, even if it was just kowtowing outside the courtyard gate to say hello. He also didn't care about his step-grandmother's diet and daily life in captivity, and spent all his energy arguing with his wife and children. Rather than saying that Zhou Jinpu would take a big risk to rescue Mrs. Ma from the third room of the Zhou family, Zhou Yijun would rather believe that he said this with other plans, and it was likely that he wanted to take revenge on Mrs. Ma.

What's more, he suddenly said this kind of thing to Old Madam Ma after listening to Zhou Ma's provocation.

Zhou Ma was skeptical of his granddaughter's inference. One of the things she is most worried about now is that no matter whether Zhou Jinpu wants to save people or take revenge, once he does something out of the ordinary, Zhou Shigong will blame her, and she will definitely find out that she once sowed discord in front of Zhou Jinpu, what will she do at that time? !
