Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

In order to cover people's eyes and ears, Shuifang made Kailian, a girl sent by Zhen's family named Cuihua, her aunt.Aunt Cuihua was carried by the Zhen family into the small courtyard where Shuifang temporarily lived in Yangzhou, and was sent back to the capital by Shuifang.

When the Zhen family got the news, they immediately sent a housekeeper to ask if Miss Cuihua didn't understand the rules and offended Master Hou, so why don't they send you another girl who is more sensible.The corners of Shui Fang's mouth twitched, and the housekeeper had a flattering face. He didn't look like a housekeeper from an aristocratic family at all, but rather like a slave in a brothel.

Shuifang's excuse is that Madam wants to meet Aunt Cuihua, and stay in the capital to learn the rules.The housekeeper heard another meaning. It turned out that Mrs. Hou knew that Lord Hou took in a concubine in Yangzhou, and she felt bad.Therefore, he put out the spectrum of the wife of the main house, and wanted to give the new aunt a blow.

It seems that the rumors are true, Mrs. Hou is a jealous master.The housekeeper looked at Shui Fang with sympathetic eyes, said a few words, and then returned to his command.Shui Fang was puzzled by his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Brother Lin, who is he?" Lin Ruhai smiled, shook his head and walked away.

"Master Hou, do you want to send a letter to Madam, this subordinate is afraid that Madam may misunderstand Master Hou and fall into the scheme of the Zhen family to separate themselves." Doorman A said. "What I mean by this subordinate is that we should just leave that Cuihua in Yangzhou. Here, there are people watching day and night, and we are not afraid of her making a fuss. In case, she comes up with something, we just catch the thief and catch the stolen goods." Let's see if the Zhen family dares to jump around. "Men Ke B has always spoken frankly.

The doorman Ding was more cautious, he secretly observed Hou Ye's expression, and saw that his expression was normal.Asking carefully, "Could it be that Lord Hou is planning to give that girl to him on the way..." To get rid of Cuihua on the way, and pass all the responsibility to the unfounded robbers, as long as the hands and feet are clean, even Zhen Everyone has doubts, and they can't produce any evidence to prove that it was Master Hou.

Besides, the Zhen family has always given off girls in a big way, as if showing off their Zhen family's wealth. It's just an aunt, and the dowry is comparable to the standard for ordinary small households to marry girls. There are only more boxes and cages for dowry. of.

When Lord Hou sent Cuihua back to the capital, he even took Cuihua's dowry with him on the road, saying that he would return to the capital sooner or later, so he took this time to bring it back to the capital and let his wife keep it for safekeeping so that it would not be placed on the road. Yangzhou is too eye-catching.Isn't there a reason to say that the car's mahogany box was missed by the thief?

"Your idea is very good. It's just that the Marquis doesn't want to spend your mind on an insignificant woman. It's better to leave the matter of dealing with women to those women in the mansion. Lest they be idle in the mansion. Let me stir up trouble for you." Shui Fang thought of the secret agent's pigeon sending a message, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

According to reports from spies, the capital has been calm recently, and the people and horses of all parties have temporarily stopped with a tacit understanding.However, something happened to Madam. Since Aunt Ma passed away, Madam has lived a very comfortable life. On weekdays, except for listening to the stewards in the house in the morning to report on trivial matters in the house, the rest of the time is either sleeping or Follow the two aunts to think about doing business to make money.

Madam opened another teahouse in Xicheng, mainly for merchants to rest their feet. Because it is located near the city gate, the business is more prosperous than expected.A few days ago, Xiao San'er, the leader of the local ruffians in Xicheng, followed him and came to smash the place.The shopkeeper of the teahouse is Fugui, the son of Jia Zhong, who is in charge of his wife's natal family. He learned a few kung fu from the old man of the Jia family and injured the local ruffian.

Originally, this matter was Xiao San'er's fault, logically Fugui was justified in self-defense, and it was reasonable to put it in the court.Unexpectedly, the leading gangster was actually a relative of the third wife of Zhen Guogong's third wife.

The elder brother of the third wife's family, Chen Ming, is a nominal Yuanwailang, and in the capital city where there are royal relatives and famous families everywhere, he can't be ranked at all.But he just didn't know where his self-confidence came from. He thought that he was married to the Duke of Zhen, and he had the Duke of Zhen's mansion as his backer behind him.He also often claimed to be a relative of Niu Guiren in the palace, showing off his power outside, and conniving the servants in the mansion to behave mischievously.

In fact, seriously, the little San'er who came to make trouble actually has nothing to do with the third wife, he is a concubine's natal brother in Yuanwailang's house.Seriously speaking, people from my concubine's natal family cannot be called relatives, but Xiao San'er was able to move out of the Zhen Guogong's mansion because his sister could support him.

Who told this little concubine to live up to her expectations and give birth to Yuanwailang's only son, even Yuanwailang's regular wife didn't dare to do anything to her, with her son to protect her, the concubine's life in Yuanwailang's mansion would not be nourished Now, even her natal family can come and go freely in Yuanwailang's mansion, and treat her like relatives.

With this level of relationship, Master Qin, the deputy commander of Wucheng Bingma Sixicheng, who was in charge of public security in the capital, tied up Xiaosaner Wuhuada and sent him directly to Yuanwailang's mansion.Mr. Qin was originally a general who led troops to fight, and he was only transferred back to Beijing in the past few years. He has always looked down on these masters who live on the court salary for nothing and do not do serious things. He made Chen Ming ashamed as soon as he opened his mouth. .

"What kind of relative is this from your family? It's not a good thing if you look at it with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes. Mr. Chen, you have to open your eyes wider. Don't you pretend to be your relative and pour dirty water on your family. Tsk tsk, After all, your Chen family can be regarded as a descendant of officials, so don't be tarnished by this disaster."

The onlookers covered their mouths and sniggered. Don't look at this lord Qin who is so rough, he is not vague at all when he scolds, but he is very shrewd.Both inside and outside the words dragged Chen Ming into the water. If Chen Ming recognized this relative, he would be charged with lax discipline.If he didn't recognize Xiao San'er for the sake of face, Mr. Qin could deal with Xiao San'er in front of Chen Ming.In short, no matter which one he chooses, he will make Chen Ming angry.

Chen Ming's face turned blue and white, if winks could be used to kill people, Xiao San'er would have died several times.His concubine ran out after hearing the news, and threw herself on Xiao San'er. Lihua looked at Chen Ming with rain, and begged Chen Ming to spare Xiao San'er's life because she had given birth to the Chen family's only seedling.

Someone was bold and shouted in the crowd, "It turns out that they are really relatives of Mr. Chen. No wonder, Xiao San'er dared to run amok in Xicheng, and smashed his teahouse in broad daylight." "No, there are people behind him. Backing, can you not be overbearing?" Others echoed.

Now, Chen Ming's complexion became even more ugly. Before, he wanted to hold his concubine as a treasure, but now no matter how he looked at him, he felt that his concubine was an eyesore.He kicked the concubine in the heart, and cruelly ordered the servants to take the concubine to the wife, and let the wife deal with this unruly concubine.Then without even looking at Xiao San'er, she turned around and entered the mansion.

It was Liu Hao who took the lead in booing just now. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he habitually touched his nose and led him away.It turned out that Liu Hao heard that Fugui from the tea house in the west was beaten, so he hurriedly took someone to see what happened.Later, seeing Deputy Commander Qin's envious and righteous appearance, Liu Hao decided not to show up for now, but to follow behind and act according to the situation.

As soon as Jia Juan heard that someone was causing trouble in his teahouse, he was very angry. After careful questioning, he found out that the hooligan who came to make trouble was the brother of the concubine's brother of the third wife's natal brother in the Zhen Guogong's mansion.The corner of the mouth twitched, is this the so-called kinship?

Jia Juan asked Liu Hao to send someone to find out how Deputy Commander Qin dealt with Xiao San'er.After Liu Hao left, several women chatted together and suddenly remembered where they had heard of the third wife. "I haven't seen this third wife before, why does it always sound familiar?"

"Ma'am, you forgot. It was Mrs. Niu San who killed the aunt in the mansion. I heard that she still committed crimes with one dead body and two lives." The gossip and gossip are all memorized, even if the two mothers mention it, it is difficult for her to remember it clearly.

Jia Juan suddenly realized that it was her, "Their family name is Chen, what is the relationship with the Imperial Concubine of Beijing?" Whether Mrs. Niu San is a relative of her family, it is better to ask clearly about everything, so as not to offend anyone accidentally.

Mother Guan thought for a while, "Mrs. It has become a trend, and Chen Ming, Yuanwailang, is still a nominal official position donated, with no real power at all.

"It's strange. The Zhen Guogong's mansion is one of the Eight Dukes, and it can be regarded as a well-known family in the capital. Why did you tell the third master about this unrivaled marriage?" After all, Mrs. Niu San It's just bad luck to climb a high branch, so it's not unreasonable for her family to walk sideways.

"The third master is a concubine." Guan Mama's words were concise, and Jia Juan had an epiphany.It's because Zhen Guogong's old lady doesn't want to see the concubine, so she told the third master about this daughter-in-law who can't stand on the stage.Mrs. Niu San really lived up to the expectations of the old lady. It was only a few years since she entered the house, and she soon became famous for being jealous. Of course, it is unknown whether there is any handwriting by the old lady.

The third master married a wife like this, and he lost his reputation in the aristocratic circle of the capital.He is also a master who does not live up to expectations, neither civil nor military, and now he only has a sixth-rank master in the Ministry of Industry, and I heard that he has a good relationship with Jia Zheng.

In short, in Jia Juan's eyes, Mrs. Niu San is also considered a miraculous existence.Mrs. Liu, who had been listening to the bustle and not talking, couldn't help but say, "Ma'am, why don't you let my brother put the name of Wen Dinghou on the market. After this, the business will grow bigger and bigger, and it will easily make people jealous. These three There is no solution for people from both ends of the world to make trouble." After the Liu family was rehabilitated, Jia Juan asked Liu Shi and Li Shi to change the word slave and maid, and they all called themselves me.

"Don't be too ostentatious. It's risky for Lord Hou to do business in Yangzhou. We should keep a low profile in Beijing.
