I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 410 The Yuan Family
Chapter 410

He Nuan had just delivered lunch here, and He Sheng, who was inquiring about the news, had already returned. He was not so particular about going out, and Zhan Feiyu opened his mouth, and He Sheng and He Nuan sat down to eat together.

"Did the Yuan Mansion send someone?" Zhan Feiyu wasn't too surprised. The Yuan Zhifu of the Minhe Mansion was the uncle of Mrs. Yuan Ershao. To make Hong Guanshi break the contract, not only the money but also the identity.

He Sheng explained the information he found out in detail, presumably because the Yuan family did not shy away from people, so it was easy to find out.

"It was Mrs. Cao, the nanny of the Second Young Madam, who met Guanshi Hong, who agreed to buy Muxiangju at a price of 5000 taels. When his subordinates came back, Guanshi Hong was taking Liu Zhongren to Yuan's mansion." He Sheng thought of Yuan Er before The young lady sent people to follow her blatantly, and this time she robbed Muxiangju again, which was obviously aimed at the young lady, but He Sheng couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.

He Nuan put down his chopsticks and couldn't help asking, "Are you here for the roster?"

The people who were following followed from Suzhou Mansion all the way to Minhe Mansion. After Miss lived in Dongsheng Inn, He Nuan took advantage of lunch time to walk around the inn lobby, and noticed several people pretending to be diners eating in the lobby people.

It's just that these people were worried about the identity of the lady, and they didn't dare to take the roster openly, and they were also worried that if they did something on their own side, it would benefit others instead, so the several parties remained in a stalemate.

"Which faction are Min and the magistrate from?" Zhan Feiyu asked. It stands to reason that the matter of the roster is important. If Yuan Zhifu intends to interfere, it is impossible for the female relatives, and even his own niece and daughter-in-law, to come forward.

But Zhan Feiyu also had to be on guard. Yuan Zhifu might deliberately push the second young lady Yao Zhenyi to the front, while he hid himself behind the scenes. Even if something happened, he could push it all away.

Zhan Feiyu didn't know much about people and things in the officialdom, but He Sheng had been in contact with the Forbidden Dragon Guard all the time, so he knew everything about the prefect of Yuan, including the second young wife Yao Zhenyi.

"Although Zhifu Yuan was born in the Yuan family, he is a collateral descendant. He was able to study for the imperial examinations because of the Yuan family's studies..." He Sheng talked about Yuan Zhifu's resume in detail.

Yuan Zhifu lost his father in his early years. Although the orphans and widows were also bullied by the tribe, the Yuan family had a clean and upright family style, and these were just fights between women in the back house.

Yuan Zhifu still relies on his family members to be able to study and study. Although he is a second-class Jinshi, he is qualified for the post of magistrate. Although Minhe Mansion is located in Longyou Road, which is not considered a wealthy place, the help of the direct branch of the Yuan family is also indispensable. support.

As for the second young lady, Yao Zhenyi, it is nonsense to say that she came from a prominent family background. Although her grandmother was named the county monarch by the late emperor, after all, her grandmother's mother was just the prince's concubine. .

Not to mention the emperor and the courtiers, after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, the cousin of the county monarch had died of illness, and the two sons and three daughters born to the county monarch no longer belonged to the elite circle of the capital.

Yao Zhenyi is just the youngest daughter born to the eldest daughter of the county monarch. It is estimated that the Holy Majesty does not know the existence of this grand-niece. The capital is full of relatives of the emperor. People on the street laughed to death.

"So the county lord's granddaughter wants to get the roster to claim credit and re-establish the elite circle in the capital?" This is the most reasonable explanation that Zhan Feiyu can think of.

The existence of this roster is wanted by many people, including several princes in the palace. Others are afraid of the existence of Bachelor Gu and dare not take it openly. The little girl in the country pays attention to it.

"Grandma Cao deliberately raised the price to buy Muxiangju. Maybe she deliberately provoked the lady to do something. If the matter becomes serious, a lawsuit will be involved." He Nuan will also see Yao Zhenyi's purpose now. Yuan Zhifu is Yao Zhenyi's uncle. The officials of this government office are naturally biased.

At that time, Yao Zhenyi would move a little bit, and Zhan Feiyu would have to hand over the roster if he wanted to get out unscathed.

certainly.Not to mention that Zhan Feiyu won't be fooled by such crude calculations, even if Yao Zhen's wishes were brought to court, Yuan Zhifu would not allow his niece and daughter-in-law to mess around. It is estimated that Yuan Zhifu would not be able to avoid this roster, so how could he take the initiative? Get into trouble.

"Yuan Pingkang is the only second householder in the Yuan family. The prefect of Yuan has a lot of connivance with the second householder. Yao Zhenyi mistakenly thought that she was the only one in Minhe mansion. As a member of the royal family, even the prefect Yuan should respect her." After seeing these information, He Sheng I don't know what to say.

The young lady is only ten years old, but she is extremely intelligent. Yao Zhenyi is already in her twenties, but her innocence makes people speechless. She usually lives in Yuan Mansion. , Yao Zhenyi acted a little more domineering and arrogant, and the Yuan family was more tolerant and evasive, which made Yao Zhenyi think that the Yuan family was in awe of her noble blood.

Yuan Zhifu is an elder, and one of the prefects is busy with affairs, so naturally he would not say much about the behavior of his nephew and daughter-in-law.

Moreover, Yao Zhenyi did not go out of line even if she made a fuss in the two years since her marriage, so Yuan Zhifu would not intervene. If she knew that Yao Zhenyi had acted so out of line this time, Yuan Zhifu would definitely regret it.

"Let's just watch." Zhan Feiyu laughed, raised his chopsticks and continued to eat, if it was just Yao Zhenyi's personal behavior, it would be fine, but if Yuan Zhifu was involved, it would be a lot of trouble.

……

Yuan's Mansion is a big mansion of Wujin. The couple of the second room of Yuan's family died unexpectedly in the early years, so Yuan Pingkang had only one child in the second room. Although Yao Zhenyi married for two years, she didn't have any children.

Now the second bedroom lives in the east courtyard, which is connected to the garden at the back. The main courtyard is spacious and open. There are more than 20 large and small rooms, and the second bedroom only has two masters. It is absolutely comfortable to live in, but even so, Yao Zhen still feels a little bit dissatisfied.

"Young Madam calm down, when you return to the capital, whoever wants to live in this yard can live in it, this Minhe Mansion is not as prosperous as the capital." The eldest maid Qiaoyun persuaded softly.

Not only did Qiaoyun come from the capital, but she also stayed in the palace for a few years, not to mention Yao Zhenyi, even a maid like her looked down on this barren land of Minhe Mansion.

Whether it's jewelry or clothing materials in the shop, they are all outdated styles in the capital. You can't buy good things if you have money in Minhe Prefecture, not to mention the wind and sand here. Even if you wear a veiled hat, your face can Wash the next layer of soil.

Slamming the teacup on the table with a bang, Yao Zhenyi looked out of the window, her sharp-edged face lacked the gentleness of a woman and became more arrogant, appearing mean and domineering.

"Look at what the big house is called. The children are going to get married when they grow up. They say that the house is not enough to live in, but they want me to take the initiative to give up the small courtyard in the garden. Bah, she is still the wife of the house. Her eyes are so shallow. I He just didn’t answer the question, and let the craftsman repair the house as soon as the year is over, this is for me to see!”

Although the Yuan Mansion is a five-entry mansion, the two houses are not separated, and the old man and the old lady are still alive. The old couple occupy one of the courtyards. Take one into the yard.

Mrs. Yuan also had several children who lived in Yijin Yard in the early years, but as time went by, the three children in Dafang gradually grew up, so the Yuan family's house was no longer enough, and conflicts arose.

"Forget it, don't care about the big house, my uncle is a dignified magistrate, he knows the seriousness, and he would never dare to provoke me." Yao Zhen snorted disdainfully, obviously looking down on the petty behavior of the eldest aunt and the big sister-in-law, "Cao How's Mammy doing?"

"Hong Tao asked the boy to hand over the message. Madam Cao has already passed, and the result will probably be there in a while." Qiao Yun rolled her eyes and continued calmly: "I heard from the boy that there seems to be no When there was a commotion, Hong Tao brought more than ten people to the door, and the little girl agreed to return the house on the spot without being scared."

"What?" Yao Zhenyi's voice sharpened sharply, her face collapsed in an instant, and her already ugly face would look even more ferocious, "Is this how you get the house back?"

Qiaoyun has been serving Yao Zhenyi for ten years, so she naturally knows that she has a bad temper, so she will quickly kneel down and plead guilty, "Young Madam, don't be angry, that girl is just from the countryside, if she was not lucky enough to meet Gu Xueshi, she would still be illiterate The yellow-haired girl, Hong Tao bullied the door with so many people, and the girl was accompanied by three villains, so she dared to argue even if she was scared, and she probably returned the house in a hurry."
