Chapter 48
Mrs. Wei suspected that Wei Qingzhen did it because the biggest beneficiary was the biggest suspect, but Wei Qingzhen was only nine years old and had been locked up in the Qiuleng Courtyard. Thinking about it, he thought it was impossible. It can't be that the maid at home is full of food and gossips about the master's house.

No matter what, Mrs. Wei didn't want this matter to get worse, so he stopped Wu Shi when he came back, and warned her not to touch the two siblings, they were still very useful, and at the same time cleaned up the servants in the family.

No matter who is behind the scenes, it is true that the servants of the family will participate. When the old man Wei got angry, the servants of the Wei family would be released or assigned or rushed directly to the Zhuangzi. Get up carefully.

At the same time, there are always one or two figures outside the Qiu Leng Courtyard from time to time, squatting in the corner to observe the movement of the Qiu Leng Courtyard, and at night, those one or two figures appear in the study of Old Mrs. Wei...

Old Mr. Wei was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and waved his hand to make people retreat.

The Wu family does not have this kind of leisure, so many servants have suddenly gone to the family, and it is very difficult to operate. Yesterday she heard that some granddaughters were late for dinner...

The family on the Zhuangzi had very few children, and Mrs. Wei stipulated that the children of the family that had been evicted before were not allowed to be used. Wu was in a dilemma for a while, and had no choice but to let Lai Nanny go out to buy, but Lai Nanny was seriously ill, so she used it. Zhao Mama, who was also a dowry.

Zhao Momo, like Lai Momo, used to be Wu's maid, but she was not favored by Lai Momo. Now, although she is also serving her, she usually sees Lai Momo.

Old Mr. Wei didn't know that his attack this time gave Wang Tingri and Xie a chance.

On that day, three girls and four wives left Wang's house...

The Zhang family's nuns naturally wouldn't know about the rumors in the officialdom in the capital, but they also had their own methods.

There are the most rumors of officials and eunuchs in the market. Although they are not true, they can be inferred from them.

In the past few days, they went out to inquire about the situation, and all they heard were the same words. The third girl of the Wei family was gentle and virtuous, and because her natal family was Wang, she was very popular in the Wei family.

Although the words were used differently, everyone still felt vaguely wrong in the end.

"Why do they mean the same thing? Could it be that outsiders are the only ones who are so tolerant to the Wei family? Previously, the wife in our house just wanted to eat a bear's paw from Fengxian Tower, so it was rumored that our wife was arrogant and domineering Fengxianlou made eight-treasure bear paws for us, and in the end, some people secretly accused our master of corruption and bribery..."

"Shut up," the round-faced nanny looked at her sharply, "Can this be used as a metaphor?"

The others trembled, and even the leading nun who had previously worked in the Wei family lowered her head and stood aside, bowing.

The round-faced nanny pondered for a while, then said, "We're leaving tomorrow."

"Here, but we didn't find out anything of value. Turning around, my wife asked..." Everyone shuddered involuntarily when they thought of Mrs. Zhang's tricks.

The round-faced mother smiled slightly, and said: "The capital city is the world of the Wei family. They deliberately guard against it. We won't hear anything, but tomorrow is an opportunity. Today, everyone will happily go out and buy some local products. Tomorrow We'll say goodbye early in the morning."

The nuns looked at each other, responded, and stepped back.

When the carriage arrived not far from the South City Gate, the round-faced mother suddenly called to stop, opened the curtain and came down, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a famous Ten Mile Street here. It just so happened that we forgot to buy something yesterday, so we went to Go inside and have a look."

He chose a teahouse at random and sat down. It was noon, and everyone was free to have a cup of tea. Seventy to eighty percent of the guests sat in the teahouse.

The round-faced nanny looked at their attire and was satisfied. There are traffickers and scholars here...

The faces of the Wei family members who had been quietly following them changed, and they looked at each other. One of them hurriedly said, "Hurry up and tell the old man, I'll be on guard here."

The other person responded and rushed towards the Wei family.

At this time, the round-faced nanny had already casually said, "...I was told by my old sister. She saw the third girl disobeying Mrs. Wei with her own eyes. How unfilial do you think it must be to disobey my grandmother?"

A person next to him listened, and retorted: "Elder sister is wrong. If you ask me, the third girl may not be able to survive."

The round-faced mother saw that his skin was tanned, his hands were covered with calluses, and there were bamboo baskets under his feet. He looked like a farmer who went to the city to sell things. She quickly asked with a smile: "Old brother, do you know the situation of the Wei family?"

The farmer sneered, "The old lady is not from other places, but she just arrived in the capital, right? Who in the capital doesn't know about these things about the Wei family? It has been spread all over our suburbs. Back then, there was a commotion shortly after the eldest wife of the Wei family, Mrs. Wang, was buried. It's out."

Although it is a well-known topic, the farmer still lowered his voice and said: "Then the Wang family sent someone to take over the Wang family's dowry as soon as the Wang family was buried, and the Wei family's face became ugly, and they didn't even dare to dig a hole. Make a noise, and the moment the Wang family left the capital, the Wei family locked up the couple of Wang's sons and daughters."

The round-faced nanny's heart trembled, and she exchanged glances with the other nammies, showing appropriate expressions of curiosity.

The farmer was satisfied when he saw it, and was about to talk a lot, when a person next to him interrupted: "If you want me to say that the Wei family is also confused, the siblings are also the flesh and blood of their family. Their surname is Wei, and they grew up in Wei. Parents grow up, how can they not turn to the Wei family in the future? Doesn't this torment push the siblings to the Wang family?"

The scholar at the table laughed and said: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The Wei family is forced to do this. The Wang family is the prince's own daughter. Although the crime is not as good as a married woman, it is hard to guarantee that the Holy Majesty and the empresses will not be separated from each other." Yes, it's a bad luck for the siblings, otherwise, why do you think the Wei family chose the little Wu as a wife before Wang's death?" At this point, the scholar clicked his tongue, "This Wei The family is also ruthless enough, in order to break away from the Wang family, they dared to propose a flat wife, you must know that only those who are not particular about merchants have flat wives, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by Shilin."

The farmer interjected: "Who says it's not? We have a lot of jokes. Those of us who haven't studied know that it's wrong. I heard that the Wei family is still being bullied by the Wang family."

"After all, it is a century-old family, and the foundation still exists. How can a small Wei family compare?" The scholar shook his head and said: "This Wang family is the longest-standing family except the Kong family. The Kong family is teaching and educating people. , this royal family is..."

The Wang family has supported the emperor for generations.

It's just that this generation was kicked out by the sage, so he didn't dare to say that.

Seeing the lively talk here, some people listened with their ears open, and shared what they knew after hearing the words.

The round-faced nanny played tricks on a few nanny, and everyone paid attention to collecting information.

The round-faced mother picked up the flagon, went to the farmer's table, put the flagon on his table, returned to her seat, and whispered: "What news does my brother know? Those who came to the capital had something to ask the Wei family to go to, and this time they came out to choose some gifts for the masters of the Wei family, but we have just arrived in the capital, and there are still many things we don’t know, so I would like to ask my brother for help.”

The farmer was a little hesitant, he said behind his back that people are already bad, so what else can he say, Na Na said: "Actually, I also heard these things from others, you can find out when you go out and inquire, there is a 'Yue Heart Teahouse', there is everything in it, not to mention the Wei family, even the Pingnan Palace with the strictest housekeeping can be found, how dare you eat the old sister's wine."

When the round-faced mother heard this, her heart was shocked. Only the local people in the capital knew about this kind of news. They were wandering around the market these days, but they were calculated by the Wei family...

The round-faced nanny smiled and said, "Brother was joking, I wouldn't believe it if someone else told me..." leading the farmer to talk.

The farmer also lived up to his expectations, with a simple and honest smile, and scattered what he knew, for example: "...Wang's family has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, even the old Mrs. The old man sold most of the former servants, and even the children of the family were driven out, otherwise they would not be able to handle the Wei family siblings...

The third girl of the Wei family began to learn housekeeping from the Wang family when she was five or six years old. I heard that the housekeepers were a little timid when they saw her. Maybe they did..."

The farmer chuckled, touched his head and said, "If I had such a capable daughter, I would be reluctant to marry her. Why do you think the Wei family locked her up? It's really chilling."

When the scholar heard about it, he laughed and said, "That's what you ordinary people think. I think the Wei family is probably in a hurry to marry off the third girl."

"how do I say this?"

The scholar also imitated the round-faced mother and lowered her voice: "These two siblings are hot potatoes, treat them well, offend the Holy Majesty and a few empresses, treat them badly, and offend the Wang family."

"Isn't the Wang family down? The little brother is fooling me."

The scholar glanced at her with contempt in his eyes. The round-faced mother was annoyed by the look, but she still kept smiling.

The scholar sighed and muttered, "It's an ignorant woman after all."

The voice happened to be heard by the round-faced mother, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she urged with a smile: "Speak up, little brother."

Although the scholar dismissed it, he still explained: "Among the scholars in the world, apart from the Confucius family, they are the royal family, not to mention the princes and peaches and plums all over the world, not to mention other things, but the current servant Zeng Da is the prince's student, and there are no princes in the other three provinces and six departments." student? It's just a pity..."

The round-faced nanny forced a smile and said, "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that the prince's grandson is abolished, and his grandson is an idiot. Otherwise, relying on these contacts alone, I don't know how to succeed in his official career. However, the Wang family's heirs are prosperous, and there are many other descendants who have become talented. Maybe the Wang family will re-enter the capital in the future, so Now everyone dare not offend the Wang family..."

The round-faced nanny returned to the carriage with a few nanny's faces full of frost, and repeatedly ordered: "Go!"

They were deceived by the Wei family. The Wei family wanted to bring trouble to the east, and passed this hot potato to their Zhang family, hoping that the master and wife would not agree to the marriage of the Wei family.
