The servant who led the way also breathed a sigh of relief, mainly because if something happened to her leading the magistrate, then the masters would have to take her skin?It is thankful to keep her alive, but it is doomed to have a bad life in the future.Thanks to Zhifu Ji's drunkenness, he turned around and walked into the next room, otherwise her master would have offended someone.

Ji Xuanhe entered the front hall with a dark face. The officials at the same table were a little drunk. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help asking.Ji Xuanhe was ambiguous, and after fooling around, his expression returned to normal.The lobby is relatively lively, and the banquet is not so particular. It is obviously impossible to eat without talking. After drinking, talking and wanton noise can be seen everywhere.

The guest room was not close to the front hall, so the screams could not come in.It wasn't until the people below reported that Qian Tongpan's expression changed, and he continued to entertain the guests as if nothing had happened.In this kind of matter, it is inappropriate for him to come forward as a man. His servants have already notified his wife and several younger siblings. It is the right policy for him to try to stay in the audience as much as possible.

Ji Xuanhe was a little worried about Shao Yunchen, so he ordered Zhile in a low voice to go to the Chuihua Gate to spread the news, and Zhile took the order and left.

After hearing the servant's report, Mrs. Qian's complexion was almost black at that moment. Seeing the wives at the same table looking at her eyes, she managed to hold back, maintaining an ugly smile, and used the excuse that her clothes were stained with vegetables. She needs to go back to her room to change clothes, so she temporarily resigns, and her sister-in-law will take care of her table.

On the side of the female relatives, the seating arrangement is similar to that of the male guests, with several old ladies on the main table.Shao Yunchen was also seated at the female family's side this time, and he was at the second table, which was Madam Qian's table.Except for the family members of the host's family, almost all the people at the same table are wives of Qian Tongsan's colleagues.At the banquet for the family members, the female family members accounted for the majority. For convenience, Shao Yunchen brought the servant girl Tan Yi and the servant Zhishu.

It was an extremely embarrassing thing for the Qian family as the head of the family to have such an unspeakable incident happen in the middle of the banquet. Madam Qian wanted to minimize the unfavorable factors as much as possible.She seemingly casually scanned the tables in the hall, and found that there were several vacant seats.In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, she recruited a group of maids to watch at the entrance of the hall. If someone leaves the table, her family must follow her. She hurried to the only guest courtyard.

The guest courtyard is not big, nearly half smaller than the front yard. It is located between the front yard and the middle courtyard, on the right, and a part of the guest courtyard is vacated from the middle courtyard.The place where the accident happened just now was the front yard, the servants of the Qian family were fairly well-trained, the stewards of the front yard acted decisively and immediately transferred all the parties involved to the guest yard.

Even so, many people noticed this sudden incident.Fortunately, it was night, even though the porch was brightly lit, there were quite a few people entering and leaving the front yard, but few of them actually saw the person involved.But those two screams attracted the attention of everyone in the yard, and it was a blessing in misfortune that they didn't startle the male masters in the hall.

Ding Feng, the steward of the Qian family's outer court, was sweating on his forehead. No matter what happened, he couldn't escape his responsibility.He hated it in his heart, which bastard did this, let him know, as long as he can escape this time, he will never forgive him.It's okay, it's okay, the two girls who caused the trouble are not his own daughters, so he can finally take less responsibility.

Madam Qian was ushered into the side room of the guest courtyard, where Steward Ding was waiting.He walked around restlessly. He had heard of such a thing, but it had never happened in the Ding family.The Ding family's family business is not very rich, and it took only 20 years for it to really develop. Steward Ding was able to react in time and suppress the matter to the minimum. Well, it will further expand the situation, and the consequences will be even more serious.

In fact, it's not getting any better now.Under the watchful eyes of the public, you can't hide it if you want to hide it. If someone asks about it, they can know what happened.

"Boss Ding, what's going on? Let's make a long story short." The messenger spoke vaguely. Madam Qian knew the general idea, but she didn't know the details.This matter could not be handled well, aside from other things, the Qian family couldn't escape the fault of lax family management, and Mrs. Qian could only pull herself together and try her best to deal with the aftermath for her family.

"Madam, the matter is like this..." Steward Ding told Madam Qian everything he knew.To Guanshi Ding, this was a disaster for no reason. He didn't commit any mistakes, but he was responsible for some of the blame.

Mrs. Qian pondered for a while, and sent someone to quietly invite the mothers of the parties involved. Including her family, this matter involved at least five families, and she could not handle it alone.Not long after the maid who had been sent out left, Guanshi Ding heard someone looking for him, so he bid farewell to Mrs. Qian, and hurried out of the side room. Someone came and whispered something in his ear. Frowning, as if there is an unresolved worry.He waved his hand to send the people away. He straightened his back, as if he was going to the execution ground, and dragged his heavy steps to turn into the side room again.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Qian couldn't believe it, her face was full of annoyance, and at the same time she couldn't help but rejoice that this matter didn't work out, otherwise, wouldn't the Qian family have suffered a lot from the sky, and they were too wronged?

"Ma'am, you heard that right, that's what it means. Just now, Ji Zhifu was supposed to be recruited. I didn't expect him to be lucky enough to escape this disaster. Ji Zhifu is fine, no, the later eldest son of Yao Tongzhi's family Missing the passenger car is considered retribution." Steward Ding doesn't think he is innocent at all, after all, this matter probably has something to do with the Yao family, and the girl is related to Mrs. Yao Tongzhi, as far as he knows, this The girl's goal was supposed to be Ji Zhifu, but the current situation was caused by a combination of circumstances.

"How did they appear in the front yard? Did you find out?" Mrs. Qian has been in charge of the housekeeper for many years, and she has never encountered such a thing. If she doesn't know the ins and outs, how will she dare to hold a banquet in the future?

"I haven't fully figured it out yet, and it's under interrogation." Steward Ding had already sent competent people to handle this matter, and he was also eager to know what was going on. This was a major matter related to his job. Not daring to relax, "However, the slave probably already knows that. Mrs. Zhao, a relative of Mrs. Yao Tongzhi, is also a relative of the Cheng family. In terms of kinship, she is closer to the Cheng family. Now she lives in the Cheng family and is married to the Yao family. It's a recent thing to get involved."

Yao Tongzhi has only been in Yingzhou Fucheng for a few months. It can be said that there is no relative here. Miss Zhao and his wife are relatives, so it is inevitable that they got closer. She has heard of this. Madam Qian said that she can understand.

Steward Ding paused, thought twice, and said as if he was going all out: "Ma'am, Miss Zhao played well with our Second Miss. I don't know if there is any handwriting from Second Miss."

When Guanshi Ding mentioned this, Mrs. Qian seemed to hate iron and steel. She knew the virtues of her daughter best. Lord, she took precautions against everything, but in the end she couldn't prevent it. It's really worrying.

Mrs. Qian also figured it out. It is estimated that this matter is very likely to have something to do with her daughter. Even for her daughter's sake, she must try her best to suppress the matter. Anyway, the victim is related to the Yao family. Let them People tear it away.

"Then the other girl?" The first one has some clues, and the other one can't be left alone.

"Ma'am, this matter is relatively clear. This girl is the fourth daughter of the Zhou family's concubine. You also know that her aunt did not treat the concubine's children harshly, but her marriage was worse than the other. None of the non-concubines had a good marriage. The slave guessed Seeing that the fourth girl of the Zhou family wants to take the opportunity to fight for the position, she can have a good marriage, even if she is a concubine, it is better than the marriage partner arranged for her by her aunt."

Mrs. Qian is silent, the Zhou family is also a family of officials, they are natives of Yingzhou Prefecture, Mrs. Zhou's husband and son-in-law are officials outside, and Mrs. Zhou takes care of everything inside and outside the house, but they have not been able to please her husband. It is several times that of direct heirs.

Mrs. Zhou can't control her husband. She never abused or flattered her children who were not born to her. She only made a big fuss about marriage. No matter whether it is a concubine or a concubine, every marriage is in the hands of many people. Choose the situation that is most beneficial to the Zhou family in the choice, so naturally it doesn't matter whether the concubine's children are willing or not.Jin Chao is not fond of free love, here is still a set of rules of conduct that follow the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

With the precedent of the previous girls, this time the fourth girl of the Zhou family has a very clear purpose, as long as she finds a passable candidate to marry herself off, no matter how bad it is, it is better than being arranged by the aunt.

"Ma'am, it's okay to say, the matter of Miss Zhao needs to be handled properly. This involves Ji Zhifu. He has achieved the position of Zhifu at such a young age, and he has a bright future. He must have known it well at this time." , our family has to think about how to give Ji Zhifu an explanation." Guanshi Ding is a person who is highly valued by Qian Tongju, so he dared to speak out in front of Madam Qian, otherwise, who would have him to say this.

"Well, you go down first to see if there is any new progress. These families are about to arrive. I will take care of this place and report any news in time." Madam Qian felt tired. She thought there was nothing wrong with her family. At most, the subordinates have been negligent. Whoever thinks it is very likely, his own daughter is also involved, and Ji Zhifu is also involved. This matter cannot be easily resolved.

She leaned on the back of the chair, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down her emotions, so as not to lose her temper in agitation and confess her disappointing daughter.She had to think about how to drag her daughter out of the quagmire.It's hard, if Miss Zhao fails to fulfill her wish, she will definitely drag her daughter into the water.

But she is not a person who has no chance. This matter is because Miss Zhao is not authentic, and the Yao family is an accomplice. If they don't want to be private, they will drag all three families into trouble. Anyway, the daughter is at most just a push. The masterminds were Miss Zhao and the Yao family.After figuring out the key point, Madam Qian became extremely calm. She was already frightened by her own daughter a lot, and it was not because of such a thing.

It's just that after going through this incident, Madam Qian has completely lost her mind about her second daughter. Her temperament has long been formed, and she can't change it even if she wants to. It's really not enough to succeed, so it's better to find a simpler family and marry her early.My family knows their own affairs, and the second daughter is not soft-tempered, but she doesn't have much opinion in dealing with things and is easily influenced by others. I hope that after she gets married, her husband's family can tolerate her.Children are debts, Madam Qian sighed inexplicably.

Zhile was waiting at the second gate, and soon, Zhishu, led by Qian's maidservant, entered Zhile's field of vision.Zhile pulled Zhishu over and whispered in his ear for a while before letting him go back.

Zhishu is the servant serving Shao Yunchen, he thinks of his own master, and is extremely disgusted with anything that would divide Shao Yunchen's rights.He vividly recounted what Zhile had told him, re-polished it, and relayed it to Shao Yunchen. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't help showing a bit of injustice on his face.

After Shao Yunchen heard this, he still kept a warm smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a bit pervasive. The people around him couldn't help but backed away a little, wondering where the chill came from, and felt chilly all over.
