Chapter 520 Jiao Changqing's first stay at Grand View Garden [Part 1](1/2)
Grand View Garden, Qingtang Thatched Cottage.
Shan Daliang held the hem of his clothes in one hand and hurried up the steps. He saw several maids and servants talking in the corridor, and there were three or four strangers among them. He knew that they were probably foreigners, so he couldn't help but secretly complain.
In front of outsiders, how can I tell my wife those merciless words of the master? Isn’t this a clear sign that my wife will not be able to stand up?
But the master is still waiting for his reply, so he can't wait too long.
While he was hesitating, Caixia led two little maids to greet him over there, saying hello: "Why are you here, Uncle Shan? Could it be that the master has some instructions?"
Shan Daliang was Jia Zheng's full-time steward, so when Caixia saw him, she knew that he must have been sent by Jia Zheng.
"Is this..."
Shan Daliang raised his hand and pointed inside: "Did a foreigner come to the house?"
"It's not like he's a foreigner."
Caixia explained: "My aunt came here with the second wife of the Xue family, and she is discussing with her about moving out in two days."
"oh."
Shan Daliang nodded, thinking that since they were sisters-in-law of the Xue family, it would not be wrong to ask his wife to let them stay away for a while.
So he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, miss, please go in and tell me that I have something important to do, and I have been specially ordered to report it to my wife."
"Uncle Shan, wait a moment, I'll go in and report."
Upon hearing this, Caixia agreed, turned around and hurried to the door of the living room, bowed slightly and said loudly: "Madam, I sent the housekeeper here to send a message that there is something important."
Mrs. Wang was asking about Mrs. Xue Er's condition and whether she needed to be raised for a few more days before moving. Suddenly she heard that her husband had sent Shan Daliang to deliver the message, and she frowned unconsciously.
When Mrs. Xue Er heard that she had important household matters to deal with, she hurriedly propped up her chair and stood up and said: "Since sister has household matters to deal with, we won't disturb her for now."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and took her hand and said: "We sisters haven't had a serious relationship with each other yet, but you are going to move out in two days - don't rush back today, sit in your sister's room for a while first
, when the three of us have a few drinks in the evening, it will be considered as fulfilling the friendship of landlords, and secondly, it will be practiced by you."
The second wife of the Xue family was about to decline politely, but Aunt Xue rushed to agree for her, and then led her into her room without any explanation.
As soon as the two of them left, Mrs. Wang's face immediately turned gloomy, and she asked in a cold voice: "What is the important matter that the master has sent you here at this time?"
"Reply to my wife."
Shan Daliang did not dare to raise his head at all. He hunched over and said humbly: "The chief historian of Prince Zhongshun is here again. I guess he must be here for news about new arrivals and departures in our mansion."
"What was released in our house...are you talking about the news about Girl Yun?"
When Mrs. Wang heard that the Chief Historian of the Palace had arrived, she couldn't help but feel frightened. The scene when Baoyu was almost beaten to death last time was still vivid in her mind. Now that this disaster has come to her door again, she is afraid it is still not a good sign.
After all, according to common sense, if Prince Zhongshun was really intimidated by Jiao Shun, he should give up the tire business. How could he send someone to come directly?
By the way...
Mrs. Wang was actually skeptical as to whether Jiao Shun's method would work. After all, he was the domineering King Zhongshun. How could he be easily intimidated?
But the worst plan she had made was that Jiao Shun's method didn't work. She never expected that King Zhongshun would send the chief historian here again, leaving no room for relaxation!
"Then, what did the master say?"
"this……"
Shan Daliang hesitated for a moment, but the impatient Mrs. Wang kept urging him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The master said that he had long advised the wife and the second grandma to consider harmony as the most important thing, but the wife and the second grandma always refused.
I still want to use Uncle Jiao’s evil name to scare away the prince, but I don’t think that Uncle Jiao, a small head of the Ministry of Industry, is nothing in front of King Zhongshun? How can it be possible for the prince to stay away? "
"It's good now. King Zhongshun sent someone to knock on the door, but he still asked me to stand in front of him - these are the master's original words, so I must repeat them to my wife."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang's hands and feet trembled with anger.
Why is peace so important? Aren't you afraid of King Zhongshun and want to trade your own interests and face for temporary peace?
Not to mention that the tire shop now supports half of the Rongguo Mansion. Just saying that this weak approach of surrendering without a fight will not attract more covetous people?
Although he was a stranger to him and secretly cuckolded him, at least in this matter, he was working hard to safeguard the interests of Rongguo Mansion!
but……
Jiao Shun’s idea this time is really unreliable!
Looking back carefully, his attitude at the time was a bit perfunctory, and he obviously didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang unconsciously transferred her anger to Jiao Shun. She thought that the Xue family had not done anything yet, so he was busy and heartfelt. She asked him to help, but he just ignored her.
It's over!
Is it just because...
She raised her hand and gently touched the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, feeling full of unwillingness and sourness.
Even if I am not as good as those young and beautiful ones, it is not an exaggeration to say that I still have charm, right?
But after Shan Daliang repeated Jia Zheng's words, he hunched over and waited for Mrs. Wang to get angry. No one expected to wait and wait, but nothing happened. Finally, he couldn't help but look up and peek, only to find that Mrs. Wang was using her hands.
Touching the corners of his eyes, he was lost in thought.
Madam, what's wrong?
Shan Daliang was a little confused, but he didn't dare to alarm Mrs. Wang - who would want to be scolded by the mistress if there was a way?
I don't know how long it took before I heard Mrs. Wang sigh quietly, wave her hands in a wan mood and said: "I understand, please step back."
This, this is it?
Shan Daliang looked up in shock again, only to see that Mrs. Wang was as if she had beaten an eggplant in the frost, obviously not understanding him, so he hesitated for a moment, took two steps back, turned around and ran out of the living room as if running away.
But after Shan Daliang left, Mrs. Wang stood up with a sigh, walked to the dressing table in the back room, looked at her reflection in the mirror, and was stunned again.
I don’t know how long it took.
Aunt Xue calculated that time was almost up, so she took the initiative to find the room, only to find her sister sitting in front of the dressing table as if she had lost her soul. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with sister? Did my brother-in-law say something again?"
Too much?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang slowly turned back, jealousy flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's not important what he said. What's important is that Brother Shun's idea a while ago didn't work out. King Zhongshun even sent someone here specially for this reason."
Come to the door to question the crime."
With that said, he repeated Jia Zheng's words to his sister.
When Aunt Xue heard that it was related to Jiao Shun, she was naturally very concerned and quickly asked: "Then will King Zhongshun cause trouble for Brother Shun?!"
Mrs. Wang had just been thinking about men and women and didn't think about it at all. When her sister pointed it out, she suddenly became anxious. She stood up from the dressing table and said, "I'm going to send someone to find out..."
Halfway through the sentence, she suddenly stopped talking and secretly thought who made her enemy work so hard that it would be natural for him to suffer the retribution now.
"What's wrong with sister?"
Seeing that she was stuck in the middle of her sentence, Aunt Xue urged her anxiously: "Even if you can't find out the news, you should still give him a message, so as not to catch him off guard!"
Mrs. Wang glanced at her sister and said in a sour voice: "You are so considerate for him. I'm afraid you don't care so much about your own affairs."
"me……"
Aunt Xue's face turned red and she said sarcastically: "Am I not reciprocating the favor? How much has he helped the Xue family these days? If nothing else, if he hadn't seen through and exposed it, I'm afraid I still wouldn't have known that Wen Long had become a
The ‘living dead’!”
As he said this, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed Jia Yucun.
After scolding a few times, he counted Jiao Shun's merits with his fingers.
Mrs. Wang felt sour after hearing this, and she even thought more and more about watching the fire from the other side.
But then I thought about it again, I was the one who forced this matter on Jiao Shun. If I sit here and watch his jokes now, how can I meet him in the future?
It is said that if an old house catches fire, it cannot be saved. This is true for Li Wan, and it is even more true for Mrs. Wang.
She had followed the rules for half her life and seemed dignified and kind, but in fact she was filled with anger and anger. This was evident when she showed her anger and worshiped the Buddha after moving to the hut in Qingtang.
Uh~
It can’t be said that I haven’t thought about it at all, but even if I had the idea and courage at the time, the hardware didn’t support it at all.
After the maid outside responded, she explained to Aunt Xue: "If I send someone to inquire, the plague may not have anything good to say. It's better to let Feng girl take the lead."
Not long after, Wang Xifeng hurried over. When she heard that Mrs. Wang said that Jiao Shun's plan was messed up, and that King Zhongshun sent someone to come directly to question him, she couldn't help but said angrily: "What's the truth? Don't you say that the prince broke the law and the common people?"
Are they guilty of the same crime? But he stole something from our house and he dared to come to our door so confidently - is there any way to do this?!"
"Alas~"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "There are many unreasonable things in this world. It is useless to say anything now. You should find out first before making any calculations."
Wang Xifeng responded in a loud voice. She was the one who cared about the tire shop the most in the entire Rongguo Mansion. What's more, the matter involved Jiao Shun. How could she not be concerned about it?
After leaving the hut in Qingtang, he led several servant girls to Rongxi Hall to inquire about the news.
However, Jia Zheng knew that he had made a mistake, so how could he have the nerve to tell the truth?
After hesitating and prevaricating for a few words, he simply came to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.
But Wang Xifeng returned without success, so how could he give up?
He simply went directly to the old lady's courtyard, told the story of the incident, and complained: "Brother Shun was entrusted by my wife and me, so he bravely waded into this muddy water. Now that something has happened, don't you?"
