I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 79

The Xie family made a quick decision on the marriage between Xie Zhijin and Ma Yuancai, and the wedding date was set in five days.

Because Ma Yuancai was old, and considering the face of Xie's family, the two families discussed and decided to simplify the marriage procedure and get married quickly. .

This marriage was decided urgently, but also secretly. When Duke Huai knew about it, he threw the cup on the ground and said angrily: "Xie Yuanzhou really doesn't know what to do. I really think this king is spoiling him!"

The housekeeper winked, and immediately a servant stepped forward to collect the pieces. The housekeeper looked at Duke Huai and said, "My lord, the Xie family's marriage is a secret, and the outside world doesn't know about it. If my lord really likes that girl from the Xie family, let's make some use of it." The tricks made the marriage of the two families fail."

Duke Huai's gloomy eyes glanced at him, and the housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My lord, calm down, the little one has overstepped."

Unexpectedly, Duke Huai suddenly smiled, looked at the steward who was over [-] years old approvingly, and said, "What the steward said is that I will leave this matter to the steward, Ma Yuancai? Hmph, it's just a small official, it's nothing to change someone else question."

The butler smiled all over his face, and bowed to invite Ying: "This old slave will definitely do well, the prince just waits to hug the beauty."

King Huai said: "Then I'll have to take care of the housekeeper." Winners and losers are the same as Chengdu, as long as he can hug the beauty back.

Ma Yuancai had lost several wives in a row. He didn't have any expectations of marrying a wife, but he didn't know that there was a beautiful woman sent to his door, and she was the eldest daughter of the left servant of the household department. Although Xie Yuanzhou has not yet recovered, but It will be a matter of time before he attaches himself to Duke Huai and reuses him.

This god wants Ma Yuancai to have great luck, and he can't bear it.

Although she is a girl of Kefu, but she is the widower of Kefu's wife, the two are really a destined couple by fate.

After the court, the brothers from the family came to look for him, congratulated him on the beautiful wife he was about to marry and invited him to have a drink. Ma Yuancai was very satisfied and agreed.

After drinking for three rounds, Ma Yuan bid farewell to his clan brother, rented a sedan chair and drove home unsteadily.

At this time, the sky was dark, and it was almost time for the curfew. There were few people on the street, and the carriage was running faster.Suddenly, a shout came from not far away: "Get out of the way!"

Before the bearer could react, he saw a fast horse running towards this side like crazy. The bearer was frightened, threw down the sedan chair and rushed to the side of the road.But the sedan chair lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground with a bang, Ma Yuan didn't pay attention, and fell to the ground with the sedan chair.

"Who is so..." Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his head and lost consciousness.

The crazy horse seemed to have no owner. It ran into the sedan chair in the empty street and stomped on Ma Yuancai's head. Almost immediately, Ma Yuancai in the sedan chair died unexpectedly, his brain burst and the sedan chair was stained white.

The crazy horse quickly ran forward again, and the bearer who was hiding aside was overly frightened, so he gave up the sedan chair, dragged another bearer whose leg was broken by the horse, and ran away in a panic.

After a stick of incense, a team patrolling in the city walked by and found the body. After careful identification, it was found that it was Ma Yuancai, the head of the Ministry of Industry.

Ma Yuancai died, trampled to death by a horse, the murderer is unknown.Jing Zhaoyin did not find the murderer after more than ten days of continuous investigation, and finally the case was closed.

The Ma family believed that it was because she was married to the Xie family, and the girl from the Xie family was so powerful that she killed her unmarried fiancé.Mrs. Ma took the whole family to the door of Xie's house in mourning clothes and cried, blocking the door of Xie's house tightly.

Xie Yuanzhou has already passed the filial piety period, and has returned to court, he didn't even dare to leave the gate, and secretly entered the mansion through the corner gate.It's just such a commotion, people all over the capital began to spread rumors about Kefu, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and even the reputation of the other girls of the Xie family was affected.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Mrs. Zhou hastily said a few words to Xie Zhijin, pulled the reluctant Xie Yuanqi and took the child out of the Xie Mansion through the back door. The water in the Xie Mansion was too deep, and it would be better for the second room they had separated to stay away.

Zhijin was also surprised when she heard the news that Ma Yuancai had died.

Because she didn't do this, and she wasn't even ready to deal with Ma Yuancai. After all, Ma Yuancai didn't make any big mistakes. It wasn't his fault that his wife died, and there was nothing wrong with his position.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuan died at this moment, and it is said that his death was tragic.

No wonder it was rumored that she was very good at Kefu.

The Qin family's Jiang family also heard the news, and when they were sighing, they were glad that the marriage should be blown up again, and on the other hand, they asked Qin Du to send Qin Jin a message to let him come back soon.

After a few days of trouble, Xie Yuanzhou finally reached an agreement with the Ma family.Although Xie Yuanzhou doesn't want to be taken advantage of, but the Ma family is old and young, and the only male is still useless. If they go to Xie's house, they will lose their way of life.Xie's family is a noble family, what they want is face, so naturally they can't sweep away Xie's face for the sake of Ma's family.

In the end, Xie Yuanzhou agreed to compensate the Ma family with 5 taels of silver to settle the matter. The old lady of the Ma family took the silver taels and quickly left the capital with the family and went back to her hometown.

Where did Xie Yuanzhou's 5 taels of silver come from?

Naturally, it is to sell the property.

Xie Yuanzhou has been operating in Beijing for many years, and also has some shops, but this time he sold a few profitable shops, which made Zhao's heart ache to death.She originally planned to save a few of these shops for Zhimian as a dowry, and it would cost Xie Zhisong a fortune to marry a wife in the future, but now this unexpected disaster disrupted her position and caused them to lose a lot of money.

Aunt Zhao thought about making amends from Xie Zhijin.But Xie Zhijin has not been provided by the mansion since the year before last, and Qiao's and Xie Zhihang's share is out of her control.And she can't go to Wenxueyuan to rob her again, because Xie Zhijin's dead girl is so powerful that she can call Jing Zhaoyin every time.

After this happened, now they also believed that Xie Zhijin belonged to Kefu, and the most powerful wife-killing people in the capital were all killed by her. I am afraid that no one in this capital would dare to marry her again.

Xie Zhijin became the woman with the worst reputation in the capital.

A few days after the incident, Yan Ruyu, the eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion, suddenly came to see Xie Yuanzhou with some gifts.

When Xie Yuanzhou heard that he was the son of King Yu, he frowned, and asked in displeasure, "Why is he here?" Their Xie family and Prince Yu's mansion hadn't moved around since more than ten years ago, and in the past few years, they only heard that Xie Zhihang had a relationship with King Yu. The sons and sons met each other, and later they also broke contact under their own intervention, so why did they come to the door now.

Although he didn't want to see him, but the other party was of noble status, Xie Yuanzhou welcomed him into the flower hall.

Yan Ruyu was actually very tangled and apprehensive, but when he thought of the glimpse of the Reclining Buddha Temple, he suddenly had courage in his heart.

It has been more than three years, and I have liked this girl for more than three years.How many times he would dream of Xie Zhijin at night, how many times he was alone thinking that she wet the bed.

Now his chance has finally come, Xie Zhijin's reputation is ruined, no one will come to propose marriage again, so if he proposes marriage now, Xie Yuanzhou should wish to marry his daughter with a bad reputation.

Just when he was happy, he saw Xie Yuanzhou come in with his hands behind his back. Xie Yuanzhou has obviously aged a lot in the past two years, and there are many wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. At this moment, those eyes are looking at Yan Ruyu with displeasure.

"Ruyu greets uncle." Yan Ruyu smiled and cupped his hands.

Xie Yuanzhou secretly looked at Yan Ruyu, for a moment he was not sure why the emperor's nephew came to Xie's mansion.

Xie Yuanzhou said: "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Yan Ruyu didn't expect Xie Yuanzhou to have such a cold attitude, and was embarrassed to speak for a while.

It just so happened that the servant girl brought tea, Yan Ruyu took a sip, looked at Xie Yuanzhou and said, "Uncle..."

Before the words were spoken, Xie Dong, the housekeeper of Xie Mansion, suddenly appeared at the door. Seeing that there was a guest, Xie Dong walked up to Xie Yuanzhou's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xie Yuanzhou was originally sitting there dealing with Yan Ruyu, but when he heard the report from the housekeeper, he stood up in surprise, "Come in."

As a result, Yan Ruyu was left aside, Yan Ruyu was a little displeased, she sat there as if she didn't hear Xie Yuanzhou's words, and drank tea by herself with a teacup.

Zeng Ping is the steward of Duke Huai's mansion, so to be able to take the position of butler in Duke Huai's mansion and become a trusted confidant of Duke Huai's, his abilities are naturally formidable.

And Xie Yuanzhou is also an aide of Prince Huai's mansion, so he naturally knew Zeng Ping after going to Prince Huai's mansion many times.When Xie Yuanzhou left Duke Huai's mansion a few days ago, it was Zeng Ping who gave him some advice, but he didn't follow Zeng Ping's suggestion to marry Xie Zhijin. He thought that Duke Huai would be angry and wouldn't come to the door, but he didn't expect Zeng Ping to come to the door in person today.

Xie Dong led Zeng Ping to the flower hall and retreated. Xie Yuanzhou stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Steward Zeng is safe, it should be Xie who went to the palace, why is Steward Zeng so tired?"

Zeng Ping found Yan Ruyu's existence as soon as he entered the flower hall. He first exchanged greetings with Xie Yuanzhou, then knelt down in front of Yan Ruyu, and obediently bowed down to pay his respects, "My little one pays his respects to the prince."

Yan Ruyu put down his teacup and looked up at Zeng Ping. He and Duke Huai were cousins. He had met Zeng Ping before. He heard that the concubine daughter of the Xie family seduced Duke Huai in the palace. Ping's visit this time must be for the marriage of the two families.

"Uncle Zeng, excuse me." Yan Ruyu's face was indeed as white as jade, and she looked at Zeng Ping with a smile on her lips.

Zeng Ping chuckled, then stood up straight, waved his hand, and a few servants outside the hall brought in a box, Zeng Ping said: "Duke Huai got some jewelry by chance, thinking that girls like these the most, so they call them slaves." I sent some over, and please pass it on to Miss Xie, Mr. Xie."

Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhou was overjoyed immediately, and immediately said: "I will pass it on, Xie has thanked the lord for my daughter."

Zeng Ping waved his hands with a smile, and added: "This is a gift from Duke Huai to Miss Xie, please don't make a mistake, Mr. Xie."

Miss Xie?

Yan Ruyu's breath was stagnant, could it be that Duke Huai also fell in love with Xie Zhijin?

Compared to his astonishment, Xie Yuanzhou can only be described as consternation, his face trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched, suddenly he didn't know what to say.Didn't Duke Huai slap him in the face, and in front of Prince Yu's son?

Zeng Ping didn't care about this, he just pretended not to see his reaction and said with a smile: "The things have been delivered, so the old slave will leave first."

Saying that, Zeng Ping gave the boy a wink and walked out of the hall.

Xie Yuanzhou came back to his senses and chased him out, "Butler Zeng stay."

Zeng Ping stopped and waited for Xie Yuanzhou to come to the front, waved away the people on the left and right, and said to Xie Yuanzhou with a restrained voice: "Master Xie, have you forgotten what the old slave said to you before? It's also because the old slave didn't say clearly before, So today, this old slave will tell you the truth."
