Second-hand lady

Chapter 15

After lunch, Wen Liang took a rest for a while and left with Miss Rucui, which can be regarded as the end of this return trip.

At lunch, probably because Wen Liang had married, King Su made an exception and had a few drinks with him. Although he was not drunk, his face turned red when he was drunk. When they got into the carriage, people were still in a daze Watching blankly, the scourge is not shallow.

"Shangxi, go back to Grand Master's Mansion..."

A lazy voice came from the carriage, the laziness and warmth in that voice made the accompanying maid blush.Only the boy driving the car responded blankly and pulled up the reins.

In the carriage, Miss Rucui was taking care of her new husband-in-law, whose head was resting on her lap. Someone looked drunk and held her right hand tightly with one hand, making it difficult for her to use the left hand to hold a veil for him. Get the sweat off your face.

"Master Wen, drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, so please drink less in the future." Ru Cui persuaded, Wen Hao is greedy for alcohol, this bad habit has always been a headache for King Su, if he meets him, he will definitely order him to die and strictly prohibit him from drinking.Xu Shi saw that he was married today, and King Su also relaxed the restrictions, and had a drink with him—it was King Su who had a drink, but someone was drinking one cup after another.

However, fortunately, this time he didn't go to the roof to get drunk - this is the only thing that Miss Rucui is grateful for.

"It's okay, my health is very good!" Wen Liang retorted, wine is one of his hobbies, and he can't give it up easily.

Ru Cui rolled her eyes and said, "My lord always says that drinking is a mistake, so it's better to drink less."

Wen Liang's ears moved, and then buried her face in her waist, a muffled voice came: "Girl, you are my wife now, you should listen to me..."

"I listen to what you say, Master Wen!" Miss Rucui cried out.

However, Wen Liang squinted at her with those seductive peach blossom eyes from bottom to top, and said lazily: "Just now in Su Wang's mansion, who dragged me away because the prince said something inappropriate? You are my wife now , you should put me first in everything and be loyal to me..."

Listening to his rare ramblings, Ru Cui knew that he was really a little drunk, touched his burning ears, and said with a smile: "But that's really inappropriate... Ah, no, it's Mrs. Wen who is so elegant. Mr. Wen, next time you are elegant, don't climb to the roof to sing, the wind in Beijing is too strong, your hair is blown in the air, it looks like a group of demons dancing. "

"..."

Wen Liang held his breath, turned his back and ignored her.

When he arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, the housekeeper in the Taishi Mansion had brought his servants to welcome him there.

In the carriage, Wen Liang tidied himself up a bit, and got out of the carriage with a calm expression, without any trace of drunkenness.

"Welcome Master and Madam back home." The housekeeper brought a group of entourages to greet him.

Wen Liang smiled warmly and said, "Madam, this is the housekeeper, Uncle Ming."

Hearing his special introduction, Rucui knew that the housekeeper was someone Wen Liang trusted, so she didn't procrastinate immediately, and called "Uncle Ming" with a smile.Uncle Ming hurriedly bowed his hands and said he didn't dare to be the one, but he secretly looked at Miss Rucui secretly. Although her appearance was not top-notch, and her character and ability were still to be seen, her pretty smile was very contagious, and besides, she was her own young master. The woman who is finally willing to marry after all these years has to be carefully served no matter what.However, the background of the new mistress...I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future.

After entering the mansion, Wen Liang and Ru Cui sat in the main hall, met the servants of the mansion, let the servants in the mansion know the new mistress, then said some words of kindness and kindness, and gave them red envelopes to let them leave .

"You're tired today, let's go rest first." Wen Liang said softly.

Rucui didn't feel tired, she saw the strange expression of the maid who was waiting on the side, she agreed with a smile, and went back to the upper room to rest together with Tsing Yi and Lan Yi.

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, after Wen Liang set off, Yu Sheng and others also packed their things quickly, preparing to go to Taishi's mansion to serve the master.

"Sister Yusheng, are the third young master and the third young lady really not coming back today?" the timid Yurong asked with some fear.

After Yusheng heard this, the movements of his hands were much slower, his face was calm, he pursed his lips and said: "Since the third young master has ordered, it should be like this." Then, his brows were slightly frowned, "I'm afraid that the master will I'll be angry when I hear about it..."

Seeing the worry in Yusheng's eyebrows and eyes, Yuzhi and Yurong were all worried.They are all the sons of the Zhen Guogong's family, so they naturally know that the relationship between the third young master they serve and the Zhen Guogong is close to each other. The unfamiliarity of politeness is even more embarrassing.And if Wen Liang did something like this today, even if the old man is not so angry that he vomits blood, the relationship between the father and son will probably get worse, and maybe the title of the Duke of the Town will really fall by the side in the future.

The three maids were the descendants of the old man served by Wen Liang's mother since they were young. After the former Zhen Guogong's wife passed away, they were assigned to Zixiuhua Courtyard to serve them. Although the third young master was not at home all year round, no one dared to be slow. they.So they also hope that Wen Liang will come back and inherit the Zhen Guo Mansion.

Just when the three maids were very worried, sure enough, not long after noon, the housekeeper of the Grand Master's Mansion personally came to tell Old Zhen Guogong that the third young master and his wife had returned to the Grand Master's mansion, so he needn't worry.

Old Zhen Guogong's gray beard was so angry that it was about to turn up. He no longer had a straight face, and asked loudly to Uncle Ming: "What do I need to worry about? That rebellious son! Rebellious son! I am so mad! There is also you!" Slave, why didn’t you persuade him? He’s just newly married, and he couldn’t wait to move to the Grand Master’s Mansion. Did we short him or something? Isn’t this a joke for people in the capital to see us?!”

"Duke, please calm down." Facing Duke Zhen's anger, Uncle Ming remained calm and calm, and said, "The young master has thought carefully about this matter. The young master is the prince's master handpicked by the emperor. Once his wedding period is over, he will If you want to work in the palace to teach the little princes, the Grand Master's Mansion is relatively close to the palace, and it is much more convenient to travel with, this is also the consideration of His Majesty when he bestowed the mansion on the Young Master."

The old Zhen Guogong stared at him with an ugly expression. This Uncle Ming was not from the Zhen Guogong's mansion, but a servant brought by his deceased wife's natal family. Since the third son was kicked out of the house by him, Uncle Ming followed the three His son left, so there is a reason why Uncle Ming only called Wen Liang "Young Master" and didn't need to address his ranking.Because of this, sometimes even he can't call Uncle Ming.

Of course, Uncle Ming's words at this time were full of water, and Lord Zhen knew that Wen Liang would never even bother to give him a reason, so this rephrasing was just Uncle Ming's words to gag him.

Thinking of his deceased wife, Duke Zhen's face was a little downcast, and he didn't say anything after all, he just waved his hand to let Uncle Ming leave.

When Uncle Ming left, Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who heard the news, had to comfort him, but she was thinking about the pros and cons of Wen Liang's move. When she found out that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, Mrs. Zhen Guogong was secretly happy, wishing Wen Liang could do more. The thing that annoys her husband, if it goes on like this, although the rumors outside are not good, it will be beneficial to Wen Yun's succession to the Zhen Guo government.

However, before she could feel happy, her daughter, Wen Wan, who also heard about this, came over with her skirt in her hand, threw herself into the arms of the Duke of the old town, and cried, "Father, I know it must be the Xia family who instigated the third brother to leave." Yes! Because she knows that there are still father and mother in charge of this house, she is nothing now, so she doesn't want to live here and watch your sex...Father, you must let the third brother come back, otherwise everyone will laugh at the third brother Moving out for a woman, I don't pay attention to you..."

"Wan Wan!"

Hearing that her words became more and more outrageous, Mrs. Zhen Guo yelled angrily.What Wen Wan said was really direct and rude, without the slightest technical content, and what I heard was the nonsense of an ignorant little girl.It's okay if things are like this, but if it's not, people will say that she disrespects her brothers and sisters-in-law, gossiping and so on, which will bring her a bad reputation.

Sure enough, when Duke Zhen heard what she said, he was also very angry. He pulled the little girl away, glared at Mrs. Zhen Guo angrily, and said angrily: "Madam, Wanwan should be disciplined! How about Brother Liang and his wife? It shouldn't be for a girl to say it. Wanwan, go back and reflect on yourself! You are not allowed to go out for three days!"

Wen Wan's eyes were wide open, she looked at Duke Zhen with tears in her eyes, her mouth full of grievance.In fact, she knew it was bad after she said those words, but she was so angry that she wanted to discredit Rucui's image in front of her father.

When the nanny came over and took Wen Wan back to the room, Duke Zhen was still so angry that his chest was throbbing.Although the gentle words are watery, people are suspicious and overthinking animals. At this moment, Lord Zhen also became suspicious. Could it be that the Xia family really persuaded the third son to fail?

Duke Zhen has always been dissatisfied with the background of his third daughter-in-law.It's not that she is dissatisfied with her, but that it is difficult for a person of that background to take on her current responsibilities.How much insight can a woman who was born as a maid have?Wen Liang is going to inherit the Duke of Zhen's mansion, can she be the mistress of the Duke of Zhen's mansion?This is also the reason why Wen Liang wants to marry a noble daughter from an aristocratic family. Those noble daughters from aristocratic families have learned how to give birth to female celebrities, control the way, manage accounts and manage the family since they were young. .And a woman who was born as a maid, what can she do?He was also worried that the woman's petty short-sightedness would make immeasurable mistakes by blowing the pillow wind at a critical moment.

"Master, don't be angry. Although Wanwan's words are not pleasant, it is because she cares about Liang Geer. You see, their brothers and sisters haven't gotten along much in the past ten years, but they are blood relatives, no matter what. It is also cut continuously.”

After persuading Mrs. Zhen Guogong, most of Zhen Guogong's anger finally went away, and the rest was the sullen anger at Wen Liang's disobedience. It was probably because he had a lot of trouble with his son over the years, and his temper also disappeared quickly.

"Forget it, Brother Liang, let him go. But the Tan family..." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's eyes flickered slightly. The Tan family in Pingjin has been an ancient and powerful family since the founding of the Great Chu. Although the Tan family is far away from the capital, they should not be underestimated.Moreover, the ancestors of the Tan family had fought with Taizu everywhere and made great achievements in battle. He was named Marquis of Pingjin by Taizu, allowing him to be hereditary to show his favor.

The previous Mrs. Zhen Guogong was from the Tan family in Pingjin, and her natal family was so powerful that the current Mrs. Zhen Guogong could not match it. Therefore, although she was greedy for the position of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, she did not dare to have it. Any change can only be carefully planned, and it would be best for Wen Liang to give up automatically.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhen Guogong said helplessly: "Master, the Tan family in Pingjin probably knew Brother Liang's choice a long time ago. They have no evidence of any changes and are still waiting to see. Let's not be that bad guy, let's see first." Let's see the reaction of the Tan family." Then he sighed and said, "Master, to be honest, the Tan family really loves Brother Liang because of their sister, and they are better than you as a father." What's more, I have to worry about Brother Liang's lifelong event. Although Brother Liang's daughter-in-law was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, she is a little low, and the Tan family probably doesn't like it. Moreover, if it is really bad for Brother Liang , then the old lady of the Tan family will not ignore it."

Duke Zhen has always respected his first wife, and he felt reasonable after listening to her analysis, so he decided to put this matter on hold for now.
