Chapter 295 Anecdote of Kyoto
No matter what Mrs. Chen means, under this circumstance, Chen Muqing cannot accept anything.
She smiled and said, "Buying a house is a big deal, and I'm not easy to make decisions. I'd better wait until I go back and discuss our master."
"That's, that's it." Mrs. Chen hurriedly smiled and attached, then turned her eyes and said, "Have you heard of a grocery store called Tongyuansheng?"
Wang Wenhui’s shop? How do you talk about this?
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "I heard that the things in this shop are very good, including mandarin fish, anchovies, sea cucumbers... all living things. Unlike some shops, they are all dry goods."
Mrs. Min quickly slapped Mu Qing, and smiled at her mouth, "Our family also ordered from Tongyuansheng."
Mrs. Chen covered her mouth and smiled, whispering: "Do those ladies know that Tongyuansheng has had a big incident these days!"
Chen Muqing, Shi Jingshu and Madam Min were both stunned, with curiosity in their eyes.
When Mrs. Min Liu saw it, she frowned slightly and wanted to stop Mrs. Chen's rumors. She also thought that she was just here to visit and should not care about other people's private affairs, so she lowered her head and drank tea gently.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes turned and saw everyone's expressions. She showed a knowing smile and said, "Marquis Dingyuan moved to Tongyuansheng!"
Everyone was stunned.
Liang Bogong moved to Tongyuansheng... Could it be that he left the Liang family... But he was the head of the family, how could he leave... Did he have a quarrel with Feng... No, although Liang Bogong had never met several times, this person was very nice to his brothers and should be a filial person. How could he move to Tongyuansheng? Don't he know that in this way, the conflicts in the family will escalate? Isn't there anyone around him who would mention him... or is it Wang Wenhui's intention?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head.
How could a smart person like Wang Wenhui do such a thing?... It must be her!
Chen Muqing became more and more confused as he thought about it. He wanted to ask Mrs. Chen what happened, but he didn't know where to start.
"How could this happen?" Shi Jingshu came to her senses, "Why wouldn't the Marquis do this to be so unfilial?"
"Oh!" Mrs. Chen sighed, "If it's just like this, it's easy to do. As long as the Marquis comes forward and explains it casually - or if Tongyuan Sheng is close to the yamen and moves there and makes it easier to move there, you will go back to Nanxunfang on the weekend; or if the child misses his mother, he will take him there for a few days... and it will be solved."
The people in the room nodded.
"Who knew that yesterday afternoon, the third wife of the Liang family brought a group of people to smash Tongyuansheng and yelled on the street with her waist. She said that the Liang family had no family. Liang Bogong did not raise his mother and brothers, so he took out the money from the husband to do business for Wang. He only cared about his own house, regardless of the life and death of others. The people watching the fun blocked the streets. He heard that the Marquis hid in the shop in shame and never came out, so his sister-in-law scolded him for being a dog. He was bleeding. Many people in the Censorate were also talking, saying that the late emperor should not have let the concubine's son be in front of the legitimate son to inherit the title, which made the Liang family not distinguish between the superiors and inferiors... Some people threatened to participate in Liang Bogong. He said that he had no ability to educate, and that his wife left home first, and he abandoned his mother and brother later, and was an unfilial and unkind person." As he said that, he looked up and looked outside, "As for whether those censors participated in the Liang family, there should be news when they went to the yamen."
The money for Wang Wenhui's business was lent to her, so how did it be the money paid by Liang Bogong... Fortunately, Wang Wenhui "hidden at home ashamed and did not come out." If she came out to argue like this, she would be a laughing stock in Kyoto - what was her intention to lend money to Li's sister-in-law to do business with Li's sister-in-law?
Once I fall into it, how can the Xiao family and the Shen family be spared...
Her face tightened and her vest became cold.
Mrs. Min Liu was very unbearable after hearing this.
Which woman is not full of joy and expectation when she gets married! Who would have thought of giving up or leaving... But God will fool people, and there is nothing perfect in the world. What's more, she is her daughter's aunt. If she hurts her face, she will hurt her daughter's face, and she will hurt her own face...
"I heard that the Liang family has been so poorly educated for generations?" Mrs. Min Liu smiled, "It's better to ignore such a family." After that, she glanced at Mrs. Min.
Don't listen to what is wrong, don't look at what is wrong...
In the eyes of Mrs. Min Liu, Mrs. Min's face turned slightly red.
"Yes." She smiled, "Even the Feng family, I don't have much contact with the Liang family."
Mrs. Chen nodded: "Last month, Princess Fuhua held a banquet at home, and I didn't see anyone from the Liang family attending."
Shen Muqing was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen even walked into Princess Fuhua's circle... It was really not simple.
Mrs. Min Liu hurriedly said, "I heard that Princess Fuhua often holds banquets at her home and invites some female relatives to recite poems and write counterfeits. Is this a matter?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Chen smiled, "Princess Fuhua often holds poetry meetings at home. Mrs. Min Liu came from the south, and you don't know the situation in Kyoto. People in the north believe in 'a woman without talent is virtue', and ranks the girl's needles first. People in the south are different. They pay attention to 'proficiency in poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting', and cultivate virtue through learning, so they rank first in literacy and literacy. Although Princess Fuhua is in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, she has been studying, calligraphy and painting with the princes since she was a child. So she held this poetry meeting, which means to make friends with books and painting. In recent years, she has changed the atmosphere in Kyoto. People with surplus families like to let girls read some books and read a few words."
Shen Muqing vaguely heard from people about this matter - saying that Princess Fuhua often invited female relatives from the south to Kyoto to visit her home, but she didn't know about the poetry meeting. Speaking of which, she had never received an invitation from Princess Fuhua.
"This is a good thing!" A surprise flashed in Mrs. Min Liu's eyes, "Women can understand by studying. Princess Fuhua can drive the trend of studying in Kyoto women. It is a great thing with immeasurable merits."
Mrs. Chen nodded: "So as soon as I received the invitation from Princess Fuhua, I brought the two daughters of the Master of Wu from Hanlin Academy... The two girls from the Wu family made a big splash at the poetry meeting." She covered her mouth and smiled, "Speaking of it, the twelve Princess Fuhua will hold a banquet again next month. Then I will talk to the princess, and everyone will join in the fun too!"
This Mrs. Chen always has "surprise" for everyone!
Mrs. Min smiled and drank tea without saying a word. But Mrs. Min Liu said, "We will go back to Zhoushan early next month, I'm afraid we will have a regret."
Mrs. Chen's eyes fell on Shen Muqing.
"My aunt is here, I'm afraid she won't get out of here." She looked very embarrassed, "I can only talk about it later."
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said with a forced smile: "Since Mrs. Xiao has something to do during this period, I have to wait for a suitable opportunity."
Chen Muqing thanked Mrs. Chen, and a little maid came in and reported, "The banquet has been set up. Please move your ladies and wives to the flower hall."
Everyone stood up and went to the flower hall with a smile.
Aunt Chen prepared a variety of wine and dishes, but they were not as good as Mrs. Chen's versatility. She seemed to know everyone who came and could make up for her. Chen Muqing thought that she had just persuaded several people in the house to attend the poetry meeting, but Shi Jingshu, who had leaked the common clothes... She couldn't help but feel a little alert.
When she got home, she told Xiao Sa about the matter: "...I asked my aunt later, how did this Mrs. Chen meet with her? The aunt said that she met when she went to Hu Xin's house to drink his grandson's engagement wine. Xiao Sa, I always feel that as Mrs. Chen's status, my relationship is too broad."
Xiao Sa's expression also became a little calmer: "You should be careful about this matter. I'm afraid it's related to the emperor's housework!"
The emperor’s housework? The royal family has nothing to do, what housework can he have?
"Is it to establish a crown prince?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but blurted out.
"You are still a little clever." Xiao Sa smiled and pinched her face, "Now the palace concubine is favored!"
Concubine Wang gave birth to a son last year.
"But the Empress and the Emperor are husband and wife in distress..."
Xiao Sa's eyes were dim and he looked like he didn't want to talk too much: "Anyway, you don't go out in the future!"
Chen Muqing believed Xiao Sa's judgment and nodded repeatedly.
The next day, he called Yinliang to investigate Tongyuansheng's incident: "...Look at what happened to the Liang family? How did their third wife make them scold on West Street."
Yin Liang left, Xiao Sa arranged for the person who monitored Xiao Cheng to come back: "...Mr. Cheng just left the city gate, and he heard the tone of the accompanying servant, and he was going to return to Yangzhou."
After all, I chose to go to Yangzhou... I just don’t know if Xiao Zhao would leave the Cao Gang to Xiao Cheng!
Chen Muqing sighed and called his mother in: "Go to the eldest wife's place to report a letter to the eldest wife."
Mom left.
Xiao Sa arranged for the servant who monitored Xiao Cheng to be slow and looked like he was still talking.
"What's wrong?" Chen Muqing smiled kindly, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Cheng? You might as well say it straight."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma is such a godly man. I do have something to say."
Chen Muqing ignored his flattery and smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
The servant pondered: "Aunt Lu and Uncle Cheng are with him!"
Chen Muqing was not surprised by such news.
"I know that the eldest master and the eldest wife are in Kyoto, and the eldest master even offered the conditions for Aunt Lu to choose. Aunt Lu started to make trouble. Mr. Cheng advised her for a long time, otherwise she would have found her home long ago."
I think so.
Tea show is no longer rational, and Xiao Cheng is not crazy.
"Later, Mr. Cheng told Aunt Lu that no matter whether he went to Lincheng or returned to Yangzhou, he would listen to Aunt Lu's words. After hearing this, Aunt Lu hugged Mr. Cheng and howled and cried. He also said: "It's because he was not lucky. He married a heartless person and suffered from implicating his children... He also said, "The servant stuttered for a long time, "and said, let Mr. Cheng return all the things from the Xiao family to the master, and don't want the Xiao family's penny. Even if he goes to Yangzhou to eat braised vegetables, he will never step into Lincheng."
Chen Muqing smiled bitterly.
