Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Then let me continue, don't interrupt!"

"That's not necessarily true. If I hear news beyond my imagination, I will still be surprised." Xue Ruitian looked at Jin Jing and squeezed his shoulders, "I squatted for a long time, is it numb?"

"That's not it!" Jin Jing tapped her leg, and after the numbness passed, she slowly stood up, walked up to the board, tapped the board, and said, "Although it's gossip, but What is certain is that the Miss Lu family is indeed infatuated with Ningchang Country, there is no doubt about it, do you understand?"

"I really don't want to know about this." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "If Ningchang Kingdom doesn't cherish such a good person, he should be ashamed."

"His final ending is no better than being crushed and ashes, isn't it?" Jin Jing smiled, "You should have heard the rumors in Beijing that Ning Changguo and his wife are very loving, they are a couple A fairy couple that everyone envies, right?"

"Hmm..." Shen Cha touched his chin, looked at Shen Haolin, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that there is indeed such a thing. The Empress Dowager also said that the relationship between the Taifu and his wife is very good. Bumps and quarrels are unavoidable, but they will soon reconcile as before, and the relationship will be better and improved to a higher level. What I was more concerned about at the time was why they didn’t hold grudges against each other after the quarrel. The relationship will get better, now that I think about it, I probably understand!"

Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's head again, chuckled lightly, and raised his chin towards Jin Jing, asking him to continue talking.

"Wait a minute!" Jin Miaomiao interrupted Jin Jing who was about to speak, looked at him, then at Shen Cha, and said, "The two of them are so nice, does Ningchang Kingdom only have this wife and no concubine room? ?”

"Actually, there are." Shen Cha thought for a while, "According to the roster provided by the Jingzhao Mansion when the house was seized, Ningchang Kingdom had a wife and two concubines. It seems that there are only three daughters in the concubine's room, and nothing else."

"My good fellow, this population is quite large. I thought that Ningchang Kingdom loved Mrs. Ning so much that they wanted to be a couple with Mrs. Ning for the rest of their lives. I didn't expect that they would be the ones who hug each other from left to right!"

"These two concubines in Ningchang Kingdom actually have to marry." Shen Cha sighed, leaned on Shen Haolin, sighed towards Jin Miaomiao, and said, "Those two have big backgrounds. Very, the airs and ostentation are comparable to that of the wife of the main family. People look down upon them when their aunt goes out, but these two are not. If they visit someone's house, they will be treated as VIPs. If not Ning Changguo and his wife are affectionate, and these two concubines are probably going to climb over their heads and become their masters."

"So arrogant?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "It's just two concubines, where's the confidence?"

"The confidence given by the Empress Dowager." Xue Ruitian sneered, and clapped his hands lightly, "Isn't this right? I have always wondered that Ningchang Kingdom is working for the Empress Dowager, so there must be an Empress Dowager by her side Eyeliner, but after subsequent investigations, the master next to him, the Qinglian Sect who was in charge of watching him, only knew part of the matter, and the other part, they also asked three questions, and they looked like they were completely stunned. It cannot be faked, so we judged before that the Empress Dowager and the Qinglian Sect buried nails around him, but we didn't find out at the time, right?" He looked at Shen Haolin, "We discussed this issue before. , but it has always been incoherent, and there is no conclusion."

"Because we didn't consider at the beginning that the Empress Dowager would let her personal girl be a spy."

"That's right, we only know that these two concubines are people close to the Empress Dowager, but we never thought that they might also be people who are looking after Ningchang's affairs, or more precisely, they belong to him..."

"Owner."

"That's right!" Xue Ruitian snapped his fingers, stood up, walked over to Jin Jing, and said, "I'm sorry, interrupt again, this matter is more important, after we finish talking, you can say that they are young It's about time."

"Okay!" Jin Jing took a step back and let Xue Ruitian stand in front of the board, watching Xue Ruitian turn the board over and write a few names on it, "Ning Changguo, Miss Lu, Ruohong, Lushui?" He looked Xue Ruitian, "Ruohong, are these two Lushui concubines of Ningchang Kingdom?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodding, he frowned slightly, "Why did you get such a name? It's so vulgar!"

"The name was given by the Empress Dowager." Shen Cha sneered, "Brother Jing, you have to know that although the Empress Dowager is also from Jiangnan, she was from a family of merchants in Jiangnan, and she was also the person in charge of the Qinglian Sect at that time. , to name the girls around me, more or less with the style of the Merchant's House and Qinglian Sect, it seems a bit nondescript."

"It's really neither fish nor fowl." Jin Jing nodded, "According to what you just said, I have concluded that these two concubines are the eyesliner sent by the Empress Dowager to Ningchang Kingdom. Going to work, on the one hand, is to see if he has two hearts, right?"

"That's what it means!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "It's no wonder, no wonder Mrs. Ning always has a trace of hesitation on her brows. I also asked her if she was unhappy at the aunt's banquet. Said..." He stopped, recalled it seriously, and then said slowly, "Life is always unsatisfactory. Sometimes things go too smoothly, and there will always be people who come to make trouble."

"Someone will always come to make trouble? Is it the two concubines?"

"Then I don't know." Xue Ruitian shook his head lightly, "I was going to ask, but after thinking about it, I didn't ask. Because I thought it might be something at home that bothered her, and I was an outsider. , it would be too impolite to ask.”

"That's true. Most of the empress dowager's palace banquets are the family members of important ministers and nobles. You are a child and an outsider. It is indeed inconvenient. If you don't ask questions, it will easily cause misunderstandings and cause trouble for the empress dowager. .”

"Indeed, so, I pretended not to understand and got away with it." Xue Ruitian cried and laughed, "But now that I think about it, if I asked a little more because I was young, maybe I would have been able to understand it sooner." Know the secret of the Ning Mansion."

"That's something people want to say, isn't it? After all, those two concubines belong to the Empress Dowager, Madam Ning will definitely have some scruples." Jin Jing looked at the names of the two concubines, "We didn't know at the beginning. The part of it should fall on the two of them. By the way, where did these two people go when they ransacked the house?"

"I didn't go anywhere. The yamen servants broke into the backyard and arrested people according to the roster, and found that several people were missing. I was afraid that these people would escape through other channels, so they rushed to their respective houses to find them. The seven or eight female relatives including these two concubines have already..." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "hanged themselves on the beam."
