Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 236, listen to Jun's words
While we were talking, the food and wine were delivered, and everyone was eating the food and wine. Ma Dechang said slowly: "I am a relative, and I know my cousin's affairs best. Do you think he really left with money? Nonsense, my cousin is As for the appearance, you one by one didn’t see it.”

Wu Tianxiong didn't follow the routine of being surprised, he hummed coldly, poured a glass of wine and drank it down.

Ma Dechang wrung his fingers: "When Mrs. Qi left the mansion, she brought the girl from my uncle's mansion with her and my aunt's nanny since she was a child. Mrs. Qi opened a shop with the dowry gift. You say, this is a waste of money and money. , it’s clearly a new home for my cousin.”

"No, no," the eldest son of Uncle Chunjiang shook his head: "Be careful, be careful. We have to help Lao Luan. The daughter-in-law who leaves the house is not a wife. If she has two hearts, no matter how many people can't stand her."

Ma Dechang was confident: "Then do you know how much she spent on those three shops?"

Wu Tianxiong also looked over.

Ma Dechang stretched out three fingers proudly: "This number! Thirty-one thousand taels. I asked the economics, and it can't be wrong."

Wu Tianxiong fell into deep thought, while Chunjiang Bo Shizi continued to shake his head: "Maybe she brought money from her own family."

Wu Tianxiong retorted him: "Impossible, Lao Luan said that she is a common girl, and [-] silver is not something ordinary people can afford."

Chen Xiangui was sad, his family could hardly get out 100 taels now, and his father just sold another set of household items. When it was replaced by the scenery of his ancestors, let alone [-], he could get out [-] at any time.

Uncle Chunjiang still tried to speak up for Luan Jing, Ma Dechang said again: "You still ignore the matter of uncle, the Qi family brought three official uncles to my uncle's family, one is a direct cousin, The two are cousins ​​in the family, and the uncle who is a direct relative is No. 1 in the imperial examination this year."

Now the son of Uncle Chunjiang didn't know what to say, he hesitated and said: "We are brothers, we only talk about the friendship with Lao Luan, don't care about other things."

"It doesn't matter whether you talk about it or not, I just want to ask you, which eye saw Qi's home leaving angrily? When did you see her having a relationship with my cousin? You have to listen to me on this matter, cousin These two wives were dominated by the Feng family at first, so she dared to use the dowry to cut off the bridal chamber. No matter what, the government is better than a newly promoted official, so my cousin came up with an idea, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and if two tigers fight, he is afraid that he will be blackmailed, so he goes back to his room and appeases a tigress first, don't be angry, don't be angry Annoyed, I don’t care about the uncle who is an official. Then I will coax another tigress, we can’t be happy under Feng’s nose, so I’ll add 1 taels to you, why don’t you live outside How? I'll let my mother's nanny from childhood accompany you, and I'll give you a few more family members. Luan Tai, who is most valued by my uncle, will also follow. Qi's family has made money, but Feng's is an advanced family. I would like to live at home by myself.”

Ma Dechang emphasized his tone, and said word by word: "This whole thing was planned and caused by my cousin, and I only fooled you fools."

Wu Tianxiong couldn't believe it again: "What's the use of him coaxing us? He doesn't pay money and increase officials.

Ma Dechang sneered: "He did it for the Marquis of Qinghe. From me to all of you, which one of you can't seek an official position? The same is true for my cousin. The Qi family has always been a civilian girl. Mrs. Feng is holding her head down, my cousin will definitely not make this happen, now that Uncle Qi is going to be an official, my cousin has to show his father-in-law that he values ​​Feng the most, but in fact he still values ​​his father-in-law Marquis of Qinghe."

Uncle Chunjiang groaned and rubbed his forehead: "This is too convoluted, my head hurts."

Wu Tianxiong, son of Linjiang Marquis, said: "Since we have detoured, let's detour to the end. Tell me, old Ma, how did you become a relative of Nanyang Marquis Mansion? Uncle Ma was not elected."

"So," Ma Dechang slapped the table again, and his voice became louder: "My cousin is very good at this skill, no matter how capable the uncle of the imperial examination is, he still values ​​his father-in-law Qinghehou in his eyes, obediently Mrs. Qi coaxed him out of the house, and then coaxed Qinghehou to be happy again. Our family valued the imperial examination students, but we didn’t make the imperial examination students go wild on our heads. My cousin meant that he could hold uncle. You all know that , my cousin is also looking for an official position this year, leaving Qinghe Hou will not succeed."

When everyone was silent, they might not be able to fully listen to it. For example, Chen Xianggui mainly ate and drank, while Chun Jiang Bo Shizi was amused for a while: "You really understand what you said, but if you don't say it so clearly, I don't know." I just don't understand, Lao Luan can also have such a crooked head like yours?"

Ma Dechang was straightforward: "Then tell me, why were we taken away by the guards of the capital just after my cousin went home last time? It just happened to be such a coincidence?"

Wu Tianxiong said quietly: "Then tell me why it's such a coincidence? I also fined the money, and I want to hear the details."

"Who is guarding the capital?" Ma Dechang squinted his eyes.

This question is easy, and the dandies said in unison: "Little evil spirit."

"My cousin keeps saying who facilitated his marriage?"

Wu Tianxiong was thoughtful: "According to him, it is also a small evil spirit."

Chunjiang Bo Shizi was angry: "If you have something to say, whoever makes my head hurt again, I will never end with him!"

Ma Dechang came back with an angry look: "My cousin sneaked into the Huguogong Mansion behind our backs, first reported our dandyism as a nomination certificate, and then coaxed Qi to be in charge of his own house. Didn't I keep saying that he is seeking an official position this year! Qi is Xiao Bixie gave his wife and uncle both the winning bids, but Qi's family is still suppressed by Feng, he is afraid that Xiao Bixie will offend him and report that we are just a good ghost made by my cousin."

He hated iron but steel: "You idiots, it's a shame that you still believe his nonsense. My cousin is pretending to be pitiful, but you are actually looking for things about the Qi family. Let me ask you, can you get closer to that shop?" Is it? The Jingdu guards are guarded tightly, right? Let me ask you again, who cares about the Jingdu guards!"

Hearing this long series of words, Wu Tianxiong's face was as cold as snow. He ate sullenly, and suddenly said: "Is there a curfew soon? Hurry up and go home after eating, and be taken down by the guards of the capital again." , I won’t be able to get an official position this year.”

It turned out that he was also seeking an official position this year.

The dandies finished their meal at a faster pace, and broke up outside the door. Uncle Chunjiang followed up: "Hey, Lao Wu, do you think Lao Luan is as miserable as Lao Ma said?"

"I don't believe Lao Ma's words. Lao Luan would have been an official if he had so much guts. But what Lao Ma said is also reasonable. Let's not believe anyone. Let's see." Wu Tianxiong said as he got on his horse, Say goodbye to Uncle Chunjiang.

At this time, two guards from Kyoto walked into the Duke Huguo's mansion, and they were on duty tonight. They were servants Baidou. After receiving the words, they passed into the inner house, and Yuan Xiu, who was slowly drinking, respected Yunzhan again: "You actually expected things like this?" God, it can be counted that the dandies of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion will find Yanyan to do things," she groaned, "Thank you gentleman for being so thoughtful, for being courteous and cuddling up."

Yun Zhan said with a smile: "This poem is not good, let's do it again." Yuan Xiu pursed his lips and drank his glass of wine with him, resting his chin in thought, and listened to Yun Zhan with his ears.

"What's so good about predicting things like a god? It's not your ability to sing and pray well. When did you learn this?" Yun Zhan finished joking, and then said: "Think about it, the Qi family has more than 2 dowry gifts, plus four Dowry, she owns a shop, and there are many opportunities to meet outsiders. At first, I thought you wanted her to remarry, not to mention that dude Luan Jing. There is no one who is capable, and only his dandy confidantes can please, but I just let them down a while ago. Seeing the diligent patrolling of the guards in Kyoto, they dare not go over, at most they stand in the corner and that's it. .”

Yuan Xiu sighed with a little drunkenness: "If you don't do it for life or death, you will be jealous of your life for a little money."

Yun Zhan tapped her hand with chopsticks, and said bitterly, "You just wrote poems for me, and you dare to write them to others before you send me away?"

Yuan Xiu grabbed the chopsticks and showed her excellent attitude, such as sending a smiling face: "It's boring to write poetry alone, how about you, don't you dare to be idle?"

He happened to have chopsticks in his hand, dangling them, and said seriously: "Do it quickly, or I will beat you too."

The autumn moon outside the window is bright and affectionate, so the husband and wife go to bed late, and they have to get up early the next morning. Yun Zhan is of course a habit of getting up early, and Yuan Xiu is a girl who studies, so it is a habit. The first guest left In the carriage, the new daughter-in-law Yuanxiu stood on the second steps, welcoming her energetically.

This is the princess of Prince Ping's Mansion, the unmarried princess of Huai'an. She has a round face and big black jewel-like eyes. The first thing she says when she meets her is to complain: "Sister-in-law just treats guests, it's all a matter of time." A month has passed."

Before Yuan Xiu could understand her tone and demeanor, she was filled with apologies.
