incense as a medium

Chapter 112 Mrs. Ding

Beijing.

Mrs. Ding looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, then looked at the letter in her hand, frowned and said, "You say you are Ying Mo? My nephew's childhood sweetheart?"

"Exactly." After Ying Mo entered Beijing, she did not go directly to Ding's house, but specifically found someone from Kang Yibang, and asked someone to hire a nun to teach her various rules and etiquette in Beijing. Although she has a hot temper , but she is also extremely intelligent, but in just half a month, she has already learned the skills well. At this moment, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, with a bit of respect, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Qi went to Yongkang Pass at the age of nine. At the age of ten, he showed unparalleled business talent, and since then he has been learning the way of doing business with me... the little girl's father, and at the age of 12, he is already a well-known child prodigy in Yongkangguan."

Ying Mo didn't say anything about Qi Peiyun's work for the Fifth Prince, but who is Mrs. Ding?Born and raised in a place like the capital, I have been taught to think over what others say since I was able to speak, to filter out the truth and deliberate the real information contained in it.

In the past few years, the weddings of the five princes were extremely extravagant, and the weddings of the princes were custom-made, so it was absolutely impossible to hold such a luxurious wedding.With such a connection, Mrs. Ding guessed that Qi Peiyun was working for the fifth prince, otherwise the Qi family would not be in such a difficult situation, let alone delay Qi Zhen's illness and let him die of illness.

She looked at the letter in her hand again, her eyes flickering: "Who gave this letter to you?" She shook the letter in her hand with a half-smile and said, "Don't say it was written by my aunt, I know her handwriting." I know, if you wrote it, wouldn't it be superfluous for you to come here again?"

Ying Mo bit her lip, she didn't expect that the people in Beijing were quite different from those in Border Gate. She remembered a letter she received some time ago, she was overjoyed, and replied cautiously: "My aunt was seriously injured before the little girl came. She secretly asked the doctor who saw the doctor to write this letter for the little girl."

Mrs. Ding frowned, and after a while she smiled and said: "I know my aunt's temper best. Even though Liu Bailu is the No. 1 Yuan in the capital, she is the most dignified and gentle person. This imprisoning mother-in-law is definitely a crime. Not to mention. What's more, my aunt is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how could she be bullied so far?"

People say that sisters-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural rivals, and the person who knows a person best is not his bedside person, but his enemy.

Mrs. Ding pointed out the flaws, Ying Mo broke out in cold sweat, and defended: "Knowing people and faces but not heart, that Liu Bailu seems to be a good one, but she is the most black-hearted. Some time ago, Yongkang Pass was breached, and she has been attacked one after another. Killed several people, it was cruel and merciless."

This……

Mrs. Ding hesitated. After the Qi family was demoted, although they had less contact with the Qi family, but this time Yongkang Pass was broken, and the news spread to the capital. , and Liu Bailu teamed up with Zhou Weiqing to kill many Tatars after the city was broken. It was also spread among the noble ladies in Beijing. So ruthless!
Mrs. Ding pondered for a while, then asked, "I wonder how my aunt is doing now?"

Ying Mo said with worry and sadness on his face: "Auntie has been a little mentally ill since my uncle died of illness, and she was frightened again during this illness, so her spirit is a little unclear."

Ying Mo said it very implicitly, Qi Ding asked: "I don't know what it means? How can you be frightened when you are sick?"

Ying Mo's eyes rolled, and he said quickly: "Mrs. Qi was the No. 1 beauty in the old capital, and she was also the number one beauty in Yongkang Pass. On the day the city was broken, she was taken away by the Tatar prince. Fortunately, General Kang rescued him from being humiliated, but the prince of Tatar did not give up, and sent dead men to Yongkang to take people captive. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi was not at home that day, and her aunt became a little confused after being frightened. Ying Mo paused for a moment, then said again: "That day was the second day after the little girl received the secret letter from my aunt, and on the third day, the little girl heard that my aunt was a little delirious and wanted to visit her, but There is no one in the Qi family, and the little girl is afraid that things will change, so she hurried to the capital."

Mrs. Ding stared at Ying Mo, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't know whether there was some truth or falsehood in her words, but from what she said, how could it be that Liu Bailu colluded with the Tatars to harm her mother-in-law?Is it true that Liu Bailu is not filial or fraternal as said in the letter, and my aunt is going to divorce her?
Seeing that Mrs. Ding was silent, Ying Mo panicked a little. She collected herself and said a few more words on her mind. However, it was obvious that Mrs. Ding was suspicious, so she bit her lip and tried not to speak too much.

"Ma'am." A woman in lotus-colored trousers came in, walked around Ying Mo who was kneeling on the ground, and delivered a letter to Madam Ding.

Mrs. Ding opened the letter and looked at it, her complexion changed several times, she got up and said to Mo Mo: "Miss Ying came all the way to deliver the letter, but I neglected the distinguished guest, get up quickly, someone, call the lady out to talk to the guest Talk." Madam Ding finished ordering her servants, and said to Mo Mo: "I still have things to do, Miss Ying is new to the capital, do you have a place to live?"

After getting up, Ying Mo bowed again, and said: "I don't have a place to live yet, but the little girl came to Beijing with her father to join the fifth prince, and she will temporarily live in the fifth prince's mansion."

"Ah! It's really a sin, a sin." Mrs. Ding turned back when she was about to leave, and she sat down on the couch holding Ying Mo's hand and asked repeatedly: "I just heard that your father is in business? Yongkangguan? Is there a lot of leather on the side?"

Ying Mo said with a subtle smile: "Father doesn't deal in leather, but specially transports porcelain, tea, silk and other things from the south, and then transports them to the white country in the west through Tatar." She glanced at the room, pointed to the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall and said with a smile: " Then bring back some clocks, toilet water and other things." She paused and said, "But this time I went to Beijing to bring a lot of good leather for the bottom of the box, and it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival in a while , the little girl sent some good leathers to make clothes for Madam."

"This is so embarrassing. What color is that leather? My daughter likes red..." Mrs. Ding pulled Ying Mo and chatted eagerly. It wasn't until Miss Ding Luolan stepped in that she got up and said to her again. The daughter warned: "This is a distinguished guest, please treat him well."

"Yes." Ding Luolan gave a salute to Mo Mo, who was well-mannered, and said with a smile, "I met Miss Ying."

Ying Mo got up as soon as he saw Ding Luolan coming in. He only thought Ding Luolan was weak and pitiful from a distance, but now he saw that Ding Luolan's appearance was not so beautiful, but he had delicate eyebrows and sharp eyes. With a melon-seeded face, a pair of eyes are as black as ink, and the water inside is rippling.Thin shoulders and slender waist are not enough to grasp, and the actions are like the weak willows Fufeng, which makes people feel pity from the bottom of their hearts.

Ying Mo was stunned for a long time, until Ding Luolan made a sound, she bowed in a panic: "Ying Mo has seen Miss Ding."

"Talk slowly, I will go back when I have something to do." Mrs. Ding looked at the two with a smile, turned and went out the door.

The place where Mrs. Ding met Ying Mo was not in the main courtyard, but a place specially set aside to entertain those who came uninvited and could not refuse.

Mrs. Ding returned to the main courtyard and sent someone to summon Mrs. Ding who was discussing the matter in the study room in the front courtyard. While waiting, she bowed her head and read the two letters again and again.

A letter brought by Ying Mo was full of complaints, detailing Liu Bailu's various problems, and finally wrote that Qi Ding was still thinking about his brother's niece, and wanted Qi Peiyun to divorce his wife and marry another.

The second letter was sent in by the mother-in-law, and it was a letter of worry from Qi Peiyun.

Ever since the Qi family was demoted to Yongkang Pass, the two families have had little contact with each other. Although Qi Ding has complaints, this is her natal family after all, and a letter of safety every year is essential.

A few years ago, Qi Zhen died of illness, and Qi Zhen was buried after the letter was sent to the capital, and the people sent by the Ding family could only make sacrifices in seventy-seven.Now that Qi Ding's family is insane, Qi Peiyun has no choice but to report to his grandfather's family.

Not long after Master Ding came back, he frowned when he saw Mrs. Ding sitting there nicely: "Why did you ask me to come in? I said I don't care about the inner house, it's up to you."

You don't care?No matter who dares to pretend to be a tiger?

Mrs. Ding sneered, but now is not the time for the two to get angry, she pushed the two letters over, and said Ying Mo's words, and finally said: "According to what my concubine saw, what Miss Ying said is true." I'm afraid that Pei Yun is working for the fifth prince, so the Qi family has not been doing well these years. A few years ago, my uncle was seriously ill and my aunt even wrote to ask for some medicinal materials and money. If you really do business by yourself, in case Wan won't squander all the money. It's just..."

Mrs. Ding glanced at Mr. Ding, and said, "Why does the Fifth Prince treat his followers so harshly?"

Master Ding looked at the letter, and when he heard the words, he glanced at her, and said: "From a woman's point of view, it is not trivial to make a major event. Although life is hard now, I have expressed my heart to the Fifth Prince. He will treat his nephew kindly. The fifth prince is usually dull and gentle, but I really can't see that the fifth prince has a temperament and courage."

Mrs. Ding didn't know much about such important political affairs. She just reminded: "Mother is getting worse every day, and she is always thinking about my aunt, but my aunt is like that now. Should we take my aunt back to recuperate? My aunt I like our Luolan. Now I see that although Pei Yun is down and out, he is working for the fifth prince. It is no problem to revive the Qi family. Luolan is fourteen this year and has reached the age of marriage. I looked at each of them one by one, okay, the family background is too good, we can't climb high, there are not many good family backgrounds, even if there are good ones, they are engaged, not as good as Pei Yun, let alone My aunt's child, Lorraine will definitely not be offended if she marries in the future."

Master Ding rarely agreed with Mrs. Ding's words, nodded, and said: "In case the Fifth Prince..."

He didn't say the following words, but his eyes lit up. The founding hero doesn't have to think about it in this life, but the minister who sent the mansion will also be the minister of the new emperor's humerus in the future!

He nodded one after another, and said: "Bring her back! You pick her up in person! Take her back and send it directly to mother! Mother has accumulated a lot of good medicinal materials in her hands, which will surely heal my sister!"

"I'm not going!" Mrs. Ding looked at Mr. Ding and blurted out: "I can't go! It will take two or three months to go back and forth. I'm not in charge of this house, and the vixen is still in trouble." go!"
