Chapter 197

Mrs. Qian Wugu hurried back to Wucheng County after receiving the letter. When Mrs. Qian saw her sister-in-law, she happily held hands and asked questions.

She also knew that the second sister-in-law didn't have a heart, and she wouldn't tell her too much, so she finally finished coping with it, and hurriedly dragged the sixth old lady to Yulan's yard.

After dismissing Yulan again, she asked, "What happened to Sixth Sister-in-Law who asked me to come back in such a hurry? I originally planned to come back in a few days, but this matter will piss me off. I don't even have the face to come back and tell Second Sister-in-law .”

The sixth old lady was startled and asked, "What's the matter? Has there been a change in Yulan's marriage?"

"Sister-in-law Liu still understands people, doesn't she? My husband's cousin's natal family has a distant relative, and there is a young woman who has taken a fancy to her. She came to me to tell me about Yulan's mother. She is afraid that her grandson will suffer in the future. Sometimes I can’t even hug my great-grandson.”

"Why did you get involved with Yulan's mother?"

Mrs. Qian Wugu said angrily: "Isn't it just that on the day of the engagement, Mrs. Bao had a sullen face. Although she told her not to talk, she snorted from time to time, and was seen by the niece and daughter-in-law who came to make an appointment. Satisfied, it’s her natal family again, holding her tight, that little lady doesn’t come from a small place, she’s flattering people all over the place, within two months she coaxed everyone in my cousin’s yard to say she’s good , My cousin sister-in-law came to tell me that half of the engagement gift can be refunded, but I am sorry for Yulan, my Qian family is greedy for her things? I can't wait to throw it in her face! When you asked me to say it nicely, now let me It's hard for me, I have been married to Tong's family for decades, and I have never been so ashamed."

The sixth old lady showed joy on her face, and the fifth aunt was surprised, so she heard the sixth sister-in-law say: "It's fine to retire, but I regret that Yulan has made such a marriage, so good, good! It's okay to marry again in two years. Pick someone who is in good health, and getting married is a lifetime thing.”

Fifth Aunt's wife immediately asked, "Sister-in-law Six is ​​in love?"

The sixth old lady shook her head, "No, I'll talk about this later. I called you here just to ask how old Concubine Jia is doing in the palace?"

Mrs. Fifth Aunt was even more surprised. The topic changed. I don't know why Six Sister-in-law asked about Old Concubine Jia.

"There is no news about the old concubine. There was a happy event in the royal family the day before yesterday. Which princess wants to recruit a son-in-law? If the old concubine Jia is not in good health, there will be no such news. Why? What did the sixth sister-in-law hear?"

The Tong family that Wugu's wife married is a small family in Beijing, so Wugu's wife doesn't know about the nobles, and everyone on the street knows what they know.

The sixth old lady said that she went to see Mrs. Jia at the Guanyin Temple that day.

Mrs. Wugu was even more surprised, "Why did you think of the old concubine Jia? There are many people with the surname Jia in Beijing, and there is a professor Jia in the Imperial College. I asked about my family's Zhonger's admission to school earlier."

The sixth old lady said: "I heard from Yulan's father before that Mr. Jia may be the Mr. of the Imperial College in Beijing. At that time, I didn't think much about it. Fifth sister, do you still remember that I once entered the palace?"

The fifth aunt nodded. The sixth sister-in-law was named a virtuous and filial woman by the court. The queen once summoned several women who were also named at the same time. It was also to show the mighty grace of the emperor. She is highly respected among the common people in Wucheng County, and the elders of the Qian family also respect her. Her status in the Qian family is no less than that of a man.

"Although I am a country woman with little experience, I have lived for dozens of years. I can always tell the difference when I look at people. The demeanor of Mrs. Jia I met that day was not ordinary, but she followed her mother. The expression is the same as that of the people in the palace. There may be old mothers from the palace in rich families, but it is not such a coincidence. Let me ask you, what is the name of the son-in-law that Princess Pingwu married? How many sons in the son-in-law's family? How old is the youngest?"

The fifth aunt replied: "The old son-in-law's surname is Wu, but no one dares to talk about Princess Pingwu's family, especially her youngest child. Some say she is a little lady, some say she is a son-in-law, but she has never been seen in Beijing. On the other hand, many people speculate that it is because of her poor health. Since Princess Pingwu gave birth to the youngest, she has never appeared on that social occasion, but the nobles in Beijing are even more jealous of her, fearing that she will bring disaster to themselves. Who knows Princess Pingwu is a tyrannical one."

"The new gentleman from the school is surnamed Jia, and later he brought his nephew surnamed Wu, who is thirteen or fourteen years old. Yulan said that Wu Jiaerlang is the grandson of Mrs. Jia."

Mrs. Wu Gu covered her mouth in surprise and remained silent for a long time.

The sixth old lady continued: "Tell me about the situation of Old Concubine Jia's natal family that you know."

"Old Concubine Jia has only one nephew in Beijing. I heard that he is an old dandy who wanders around without doing business. He married Hou Shi, the former daughter of the Minister of Industry, but because of the old Concubine Jia's seniority, no one made things difficult for the Jia family. "

The sixth old lady smiled and asked, "Then let me ask you, how are the children and grandchildren of the Jia family?"

Mrs. Wugu thought for a while and said, "There is nothing outstanding, so no one cares much about the Jia family except that they are relatives of the old Dowager Jia's natal nephew."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and immediately said: "But it never caused any trouble."

The sixth old lady nodded and said, "That's a smart person. I heard Yun Ying talk about Mr. Jia from the school, and I thought he was a wonderful person, so it was right."

The sixth old lady asked Yulan to come in, and asked a few homework questions with a smile, and then asked, "Yulan, aren't you worried about what gift you want to give Aunt Gao? Ask your aunt."

Then he explained to Mrs. Wugu: "The twentieth of this month is the birthday of Aunt Gao's grandma. I heard Yulan said that she didn't know what gift to send there. Aunt Gao's grandmother has always liked Yulan. She has to go to Gao's house to give Aunt Gao a gift. Kowtow."

The wife of the fifth aunt knew that the eldest grandma of the Gao family was a widow from her natal family, so she made a few suggestions. She knew that the sixth sister-in-law asked Yulan to come in, not just to say this, but to follow along.

"Yulan, what gift will Mrs. Jia give? And the Yu family you mentioned? By the way, it seems that you said that Mrs. Jia is engaged, and she came with her. What is her name? Look, my uncle is getting older." , really bad memory."

"Granduncle, the person who is betrothed to Mrs. Jia is Wang Jingzhou, but Mrs. Jia always likes to call him Wang Xiaoer, saying that he is the second in the family. Mrs. Jia said that he is a nerd from the Wang family who dances guns and sticks."

Qian Yulan wondered why her aunt suddenly asked about this, especially when her aunt came back. Could there be something wrong with the Jia family?
"Just now I told your aunt about the interesting things that happened in the county. The eldest lady of the Gao family is really brave. She rescued a young lady who was kidnapped. Yulan said that she was the jade lady from Beijing, and now she is also playing with the lady of the Gao family. One went."

Qian Yulan told a few interesting things about playing together, and the servants came to tell the master to leave the office and wait in the main courtyard when he came back.
