Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 391
Zhuoma was stunned and said with a smile: "I won't go. Princess, just bring Jinzhu and Mazhu. Both of them have learned the rules of Da Ying Palace very skillfully. But princess, you have to remember, the queen The status she has today is not just because she blocked the emperor's sword, so you must not listen to the eldest lady's words."

The Song family also wanted to please the queen through Princess Thea. The self-righteous methods she used to teach Thea were very inferior in Zhuoma's opinion. No wonder the Song family declined. The children they raised were short-sighted and stupid. If others regard him as a fool, how can he not fall into decline?
Thea curled her lips: "Don't worry, mama, I've never heard anything from her." The Song family would teach her, wouldn't she teach her children, especially sisters Pan Shuying and Pan Shumin?However, it is obvious that the two sisters-in-law are not liked by the queen, which shows that the queen does not follow the Song family.

Zhuoma nodded happily: "I heard that the Queen's temperament is very much like that of the old lady. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is generous and neat, but she has a bright mind and is not so calculating." Even though she had not believed in the rumors before, But after moving into the British government residence, she still found that many things were beyond her expectation, or were much more serious than she expected.

Thea sighed: "I understand what you mean. Before, we all thought that Dafang and Pan Houhou had a very good relationship, and the queen should be good to them. Unexpectedly..." The queen didn't like Dafang, so how could she be willing to give that plant back? Give her the rare purple zhi as a reward?Pan Houhou didn't even stay in the capital for their wedding. Is it possible that she would agree to her husband to help her obtain Zizhi?I'm afraid that after knowing that there is such a good thing, he first begs the queen to occupy it.

"I listened to the rumors," Zhuoma said guiltily. She was able to persuade Thea to marry into the Pan family, and the main temptation was Zizhi.

Thea hurriedly said: "How can I blame you, grandma? Third brother and I both believe it. However, my husband is really good. Even if I never get that purple mushroom, I will not regret it." Zhuoma was wholeheartedly convinced. It was because of her consideration that Dolma only mentioned the purple mushroom in the queen's hand and the queen's love for Pan Jiaming. It was her own idea of ​​getting married.At that time, she really didn't like any of the several consorts chosen by her father, king, and mother for him, so she thought that since there was no one she liked, it would be better to get a chance to get Zizhi with her husband.

Although the reality was far different from what they had imagined, Pan Jiajin was also better than she had expected. She really fell in love with Pan Jiajin and was very satisfied with her current life.Moreover, with Dolma by her side, she felt that life in Da Ying was not difficult. Once she got used to the etiquette and rules, it was just that. Besides, the climate, living conditions, etc. in Da Ying were indeed much more comfortable than those in the Tibetan country. .

"Mommy, don't you really want to go into the palace and have a look?" Thea changed the topic. She didn't want to see Dolma feel sad because of guilt. "Don't you always ask if the underground paving of Da Ying Palace is gold bricks? Don't you want to Go and see for yourself?" She had been there, of course she knew it wasn't the case, she just wanted to make Dolma happy.

Zhuoma was shocked. Of course she wanted to go, not to see if the floor tiles were gold, but to explore... people.It's just that now is not the time. The Pan family's main house is not welcomed by the Queen. Thea's own situation is unknown, so she cannot cause trouble for Thea.Furthermore, she seemed not ready to go to the palace. She was unsure. Firstly, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself. Secondly, she was also afraid that someone might recognize her. Even though 20 years had passed, she had done some things deliberately. Change.

"I won't go," Zhuoma said with a smile, "Didn't the King and Queen ask me to look for a few more shops and farms in and around the capital as your dowry? I'll take advantage of the fact that you will enter the palace tomorrow, so I can go out and take a good look. "

Thea's dowry mostly consisted of objects, gold and silver jewelry, as well as silver notes that the Tibetan king specially asked people to redeem.Before entering the capital, the queen heard that a very important part of the dowry of a noble girl from Da Ying was a property that produced output all year round, such as shops and farms, so she handed it over to Zhuoma.Therefore, not only Thea, but also the king and queen of Tibet trust Dolma extremely, which is why Dolma feels even more guilty.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, mama." Thea truly regarded Dolma as a relative. "By the way, isn't mama looking for your husband's nephew? It's easier for us now. You can let Manager Li take care of it." Kong went out to inquire. Didn’t it say that sold slaves transported from the border have fixed resale channels? If you inquire more, you will definitely find clues. As long as we find the person, no matter how much money we have, we will find a way to redeem him. Even if you want to come, no one would dare to embarrass us from the British Government." Thea has participated in ladies' dinners three times, and she also knows that the British Government's brand name is really useful in Da Ying.

Among her dowry were three or four families from Da Ying. Dolma suggested buying them when she was on her way back to the Tibetan country after making arrangements for her marriage. The people were also chosen by Dolma and were said to be "house companions" when she got married.Manager Li is the most capable one among them. He used to be the chief manager of the imperial merchants. Zhuoma said that he was agile in handling affairs and now he is asked to take care of external affairs.

"Thank you for your concern, princess," Zhuoma said gratefully. "During this period, I asked Li Cai and two stewards to understand and familiarize themselves with the situation in the capital in advance. They also asked about the shop, Zhuangzi, and the prefectures and counties near the capital. Run away so that you can do things later. After your property is ready and running, Princess, I will ask Li Cai and the others to help me find my nephew's whereabouts. Things must have priorities."

"Just make up your own mind. If you need me to speak to the Duke's office, just tell me." Thea didn't insist. She knew Dolma's temperament very well. She was very planned and stubborn in doing things.Anyway, it would be best to get Dolma's nephew back, and it doesn't matter if he can't. Dolma will be taken care of by her for the rest of her life, and she doesn't need anyone to provide for her in old age.

While the master and servant were chatting, Pan Jiajin came back with some snacks: newly baked raisin egg tarts, which is Thea's favorite pastry.

Dolma poured tea for the young couple before exiting. Pan Jiajin glanced at Dolma's back and said with a smile: "You are quite close to me as a nanny." Every time he came back, Sia was talking to Dolma. Chat affectionately.However, Dolma is really capable and taught Thea very well. After getting married, Thea's performance impressed him and stunned those who were waiting to see his Pan Jiajin jokes. It was an absolute surprise!So he has a good impression of Dolma.

Thea helped Pan Jiajin change into the regular clothes he wore in the house unskillfully, and said with a smile: "I was talking about how I will accompany my grandmother to the palace to pay homage to the Queen tomorrow, and she reminded me of what I should pay attention to."

"Oh? The old lady wants you to accompany her to the palace?" Pan Jiajin's eyes flashed, this foreign wife really has a few words, "Ying'er has been with Chenghuan for so many years, the old lady has never brought her into the palace, Min'er even more She doesn't like it." The old woman brought Thea into the palace. In the eyes of outsiders, her relationship with the eldest son had improved, which was a good thing for him.Sometimes things in aristocratic families are like this. It doesn't matter how they are actually, as long as it looks like what they need on the surface. Appearance is very important.The relationship between their eldest brother and Pan Jiaming was like this in the past few years. They had indeed gained a lot of benefits. Unfortunately, in the past year or so, to be precise, since Pan Jiaming picked up Jinshan, everything was out of their control.Thinking of Pan Jiaming, a flash of anger flashed in Pan Jiajin's eyes. How could that loser get lucky again and again?Is it true that the Eagle Guard was found as the prince said?How can it be?Before going to Luo City for work, Pan Jiaming had been in their big room. To be precise, under his mother's nose, how could they not notice anything if there was really something going on?Moreover, his grandfather and father have never given up looking for Eagle Guard. They have not found any clues yet. How could Pan Jiaming find it first?How old was Pan Jiaming when his second uncle died?

"Thea, since the old lady likes you, please be more filial to her for me," Pan Jiajin said with a cautious face, "If you have nothing to do on weekdays, go and chat with her. Aren't you very interested in the Pan family's Eagle Guard?" I was still young at that time and didn’t know much about the Eagle Guard. The old lady must know a lot about the Eagle Guard.” Thea has a pair of golden eagles, which are also a type of eagle, so she is very interested in the British Eagle Guard. I asked him a lot of questions, but unfortunately he didn't know much.

"Really?" Thea's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "Didn't you say that the Eagle Guard's whereabouts are unknown since the death of the second master? Didn't I ask this question to make my grandmother sad?" Thea Her grandmother was not as noble, kind and talkative as the old lady. She really liked being close to the old lady.

"No," Pan Jiajin persuaded patiently, "If you introduce your pair of golden eagles to the old lady, she will be very happy and happy to talk about the past of Eagle Guard. Eagle Guard was once a British government official. , and even the pride of the entire Pan family, everyone in the Pan family is proud of it. Of course, you can't talk about this outside. If outsiders know that we have lost the Eagle Guard, the reputation of the British government will be greatly affected. .”

Thea nodded: "Of course I know this, yes. If the old lady remembers any important clues, can she also help my grandfather and father find the Eagle Guard?"

"Really? My Thea is really smart, why didn't I think of this?" Pan Jiajin looked surprised. "Well, I hope grandma can really recall what her second uncle once said to her. But grandma is old, you have to ask You have skills, don't push too hard, remember clearly how grandma reacted, come back and tell me, and we will analyze it together."

Don't tell me, Pan Jiajin was not exaggerating, he really got inspiration from Thea's words.They had only thought that the wife in the inner house didn't know about the Eagle Guard, but they never thought that their second uncle Pan Rubing might also talk to his mother about the Eagle Guard.After all, my great-grandfather passed over his grandfather and handed over the Eagle Guard to his second uncle. It was impossible that mother and son had not talked about it at all. Now it would be best if Thea could sigh first.

Originally, Pan Jiajin just wanted Thea to test the old lady's reaction to see if she was talking about Eagle Guard.Now, he doesn't believe that Pan Jiaming can find the Eagle Guard at all. He hopes that Thea can find clues from the old lady's memories. Maybe his grandfather can discover the secret and find the Eagle Guard.

Thea likes to win and is extremely interested in the Pan family's Eagle Guard. Now she is even more willing to make some contribution to the British government, so she will naturally not object to Pan Jiajin's request.

Zhuoma returned to the capital as she wished and began to search for the person. What she never expected was that Mr. Jin's uncle and nephew, who she thought had been killed in the arrow array, were not only still alive, but also found the trace of the young master before she did.

No, Mr. Jin, who has arrived in Luo City for the next day, is ordering snacks and chatting with his waiters.Mr. Jin, who is always good at chatting with strangers and making excuses from them, soon learned that the shopkeeper of Dim Sum was also a slave who was sold at the Kaesong slave market. Then Mr. Jin, who was "painstakingly looking for his nephew who was sold", asked him to Shopkeeper Guo sat down sympathetically and listened to his story.

Boss Jin made up the story very smoothly: "My brother died on the battlefield, and his cruel stepwife colluded with the adulterer to frame my miserable nephew. I heard that he was knocked unconscious by hitting his head with a thick stick, and then Sold quietly. Our father and son went out to do business and found out that our nephew had been sold when we returned home. We asked around about the situation at that time, and found out that not only had our nephew been sold, but he was also probably crazy, and we were worried that he would be angry. A fool could be sold. What kind of place to go?

In this way, we were doing some convenient business while asking for news about our nephew. As a result, we found out at the Kaicheng Slave Market that a young master from Luo City happened to buy a group of slaves in the slave market at that time, including a man who looked like The crazy male slave who couldn't remember anything quickly came to Luo City.I just heard the clerk say that you, the shopkeeper, were bought by the owner at that time, so I couldn't help but bother you. "

Shopkeeper Guo was secretly shocked. Wasn't what this customer was describing Mo Wang?Could it be that Mo Wang’s family is really here?This guest doesn't look like he's a liar.

"What does Boss Jin's nephew look like? Does he have any obvious characteristics?" Shopkeeper Guo asked after being silent for a while.If you look for someone like this, you will find some snacks, and he has to be on guard.But when it comes to Mo Wang's life experience, he can't completely ignore it, can he?How sad is it for a person to forget his past and not know his origin?
Master Jin secretly knew something, and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, my nephew looks like his father. He is tall and handsome, about one and a half heads taller than me, with big eyes, double eyelids, and a high nose. By the way, my nephew There is a big mole in the middle of the back of my son's neck. Since childhood, we have said that he has a backer in this life and his luck will not be bad, but we never thought that he would be... Hey, I want to find him now and make sure he is It's safe, I don't care even if I'm really stupid, otherwise I don't know how I will meet my elder brother and sister-in-law a hundred years later! Shopkeeper, have you met my nephew? Is he sold to the same household as you? Is there someone else? Please tell me, please?"
