Chapter 88 The real daughter, she quit (34)

Seeing that Wu Xiucai was so angry that he couldn't speak, Wu Xiuyuan could only let out a long sigh, stood up and tried to persuade him: "This is the end, brother, let's calm down!"

Then, facing everyone's curious eyes, he slowly told the story of Sima's mansion sending people to the door.

It turned out that before dawn, the concierge of the Wu Mansion was woken up by a hasty knock on the door. When the concierge hurriedly opened the door, there was a haughty man standing outside. The steward of Sima Mansion.

The concierge didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Butler Wu, but the butler from Sima's Mansion only said that he was here to give gifts.

What kind of gift do you give for no reason?While dealing with the visitor, Butler Wu cautiously looked towards the cart with a horse in front behind him. It didn't matter that he looked at him, and his heart trembled.

The things on the car were not random gifts, but the shrunken versions hired by wealthy families like them. In short, they were the specifications only for high-ranking concubines.

But as the butler, he didn't know which lady in the mansion was "happy" with him, his eyelids twitched, butler Wu politely bowed to the butler of Sima's mansion, saying that he had to go first Just ask the host.

Although the Sima Mansion has some status in the capital, there is no reason for a housekeeper to let the great scholars of the dynasty come to receive them in person.

Who knew that the butler of the Sima Mansion was impatient when he heard the words, and said in a sarcasm: "These things are ordered by our third son to be given to the lady in your house. The things pulled out of the Sima Mansion have never been reused." If Mr. Wu has doubts about the reason for pulling it back, he will naturally understand it after asking the lady in the hall."

After saying that, he ignored Butler Wu's obstruction, turned around and left with a few servants, leaving the cart outside the main gate of Wu's residence.

Butler Wu saw how decent this was, so he had no choice but to take the trolley to the back door while no one from the left and right mansions had discovered it, and then hurriedly ran to Qingsongyuan to wake Wu Xiuyuan up.

Wu Xiuyuan was also puzzled when he heard it, so he could only wave his hand and send someone out to inquire a lot, and then he managed to understand the absurd things that happened in Shanyuan Temple the night before.

Since Wu Jinzhen was involved, Wu Xiuyuan took Wu Xiucai to the back door and saw the ceremony of the cart with his own eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Steward Wu even found a letter on the horse's neck, which was this letter. Wu Xiu was so angry that he didn't take a second look at it. He fell headlong to the ground, not knowing what night it is.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Song were both stunned after listening to Wu Xiuyuan's words. Mrs. Song began to complain after recovering: "It is said that the Sima Mansion is one of the most prestigious in Beijing. How can we do things like this without rules? Mother, In the future, I have to let my second brother talk to that Sima county magistrate!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Haiyao and Zhao Shi, but also Wu Xiuyuan's expressions became very exciting.

The Sima Mansion's attitude is very clear, even if a real noble takes a concubine, he still pays attention to a woman's background and clean reputation.At the beginning, Wu Jinzhen and Zhou Zhoulang had already had an ugly quarrel, but this time he and the third son of Sima were not only blocked in the wing room by so many people, but she also personally admitted the affair between the two of them, so what face is there? at all? !
It is already a great kindness for Sima Mansion to let Wu Jinzhen in. How could Wu Xiuyuan, how could he ask questions with a shy face?

And Wu Jinzhen seemed to have completely missed the point of the words just now, and asked impatiently: "So what about the betrothal gift that Sima Mansion gave me?"

"I have ordered people to pile up in the corridor outside the main hall..." Wu Xiuyuan raised his hand and pointed towards the direction outside the door.

Wu Jinzhen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, she ran out with the wind on her feet, but when she saw the pile of things under the porch, she was instantly dumbfounded.

There are only two solid wooden cages standing alone in the corridor, and some other messy things are scattered around. There is nothing good to say, the size of two loads... Even if Wu Xiuyuan took concubines back then, he gave them more than two loads. s things.

Turning back helplessly in disbelief, Wu Jinzhen asked in a trembling voice, "Father, what does Sima Mansion mean?"

Wu Xiucai turned his face to the side and spat on the ground: "I can't take it anymore? If I can do such a scandal, I should have the consciousness to be looked down upon by others! The Sima Mansion also said in the letter that you can count on it." Jiri will take the burden and go to the west gate of Sima Mansion, there will be a mother-in-law to take you to the arranged courtyard!"

"My God!" After all, Song couldn't bear the successive blows: "Aren't they even willing to take out a soft sedan chair?!"

The woman wailed, but she didn't come up in one breath, and fell down limply.

There was chaos outside the main hall, followed by a lot of tossing, and finally carried Song Shi who had fainted suddenly and Wu Jinzhen, who had already been stupid, back to Luyuan, and settled the old lady who was complaining about a headache, Zhao Shi He and Wu Xiuyuan dragged their exhausted bodies back to Qingsongyuan.

At that time, Wu Jinrou had already run back to her yard with the excuse of her ankle injury, only Haiyao was left quietly waiting outside the main house of Qingsong Courtyard, and when she saw the two of them, she whispered hello softly.

"Are grandma and aunt okay?" She followed the couple into the house.

Wu Xiuyuan sat at the table, took a sip of tea and fell into boundless silence, while Zhao shi went straight to the short couch, leaning on the deep red brocade-covered soft pillow, and let her maid Qingqiu massage her temples.

Upon hearing the question, Mrs. Zhao replied humbly: "It's nothing serious, it's just... what a crime!"

"Master, I didn't agree with their family's entry to Beijing back then. You still thought it was me, but now... I'm afraid our two girls will be implicated for no reason!"

"At that time, it must have been said that he had taken a fancy to the Zhou family. Poor Yao'er's good marriage was ruined by the uncle's family, so as long as sister Zhen lives in peace, that's all. In the end, he didn't agree with the third son of Sima. I don't know, in the end I can't even be considered a good concubine..." She couldn't stop once she opened her mouth, and she put all the grievances she had suffered these days on the surface.

Hearing his wife's complaints, although Wu Xiuyuan felt embarrassed because his daughter was still present, he did not refute for the first time.

Being made by Wu Jinzhen and Sima's mansion made him feel very uncomfortable as a scholar. Even though Sima's actions seemed to be aimed at Wu Xiucai's family on the surface, the things were delivered outside the door of his mansion. It was his Wu Xiuyuan's face!

"It's strange to say." Seeing that the two fell silent one after another, Haiyao opened her mouth after deliberation: "Ever since mother and Mrs. Zhou finalized the marriage between Cousin Zhen and Young Master Zhou, Cousin Zhen hasn't been out much. Occasionally, she would go out to see Mr. Zhou Zhou or be with me, how did she know Mr. Sima?"

After she said this, Zhao Shi was also a little uncertain, so she sat up slightly, and carefully used her eyes to let the servant girl Qingqiu go down.

As the door of the main house was slowly closed, Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly: "What Yaoer said makes sense, Mrs. Sima has never attended the banquets that I took Miss Zhen to. .”

To put it bluntly, banquets and banquets are also different. Although they are all officials' wives, they will be divided into ranks.The wife of Sima County belongs to the high-end players, and she can often go to the palace to drink afternoon tea with the ladies in the palace, so how can she look down on these small troubles outside the palace?
Taking advantage of Zhao Shi and Wu Xiuyuan's serious thinking, Haiyao said again: "Besides, the Third Young Master Sima really doesn't look like he is in love with Cousin Zhen, could it be that Cousin Zhen found out about him After the identity, impromptu..."

"Isn't this ridiculous!" Wu Xiuyuan blurted out.

But after saying this, he looked at his wife on the short couch again, and the two of them felt that this guess was a little bit reasonable in addition to being absurd.

The Song family and Wu Xiucai knew each other very well, just because they were able to persuade Wu Jinzhen to hook up with Zhou Zhoulang secretly, there is really nothing this family can't do.What's more, Wu Jinzhen has always been a character who is not willing to be a queen, so it is normal to be easily fascinated by the wealth and honor of the capital.

Once doubts arose in my heart, it was out of control, and Mrs. Zhao nodded accordingly: "Master, you may not know that when we found Sister Zhen with the help of monks from Shanyuan Temple, she But she is still unconscious on the couch! If she really had friendship with the three young masters, she would have taken the initiative to follow him into the wing room, so why did she end up ignorant of her affairs?"

Wu Xiuyuan still trusted his first wife very much, and he was very speechless when he heard the words, his lips parted and then closed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Apparently, these two couples have a new understanding of Wu Jinzhen's shamelessness. In this way, it is no wonder that when people from the Sima Mansion came to the door, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes. How can I be happy again?

Seeing that the time had come, and the previous preparations were almost done, Haiyao coughed twice to attract the attention of the two of them, and then hesitantly asked another question of her own: "What if Say, the person lying on the couch in the male pilgrim's room last night is a daughter, so what about the parents?"

Zhao's eyes widened in astonishment, his expression at this moment was like seeing a ghost, as for Wu Xiuyuan's teacup that had just been brought to his mouth stopped there unexpectedly, his brows were tightly wrinkled together.

"Yao'er, it's not easy to say this casually!" After realizing the hidden meaning in her words, Zhao's face turned pale with shock.
