After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 322 Abnormality

When we got home, it was almost dinner time and Haijiao was back.

Haitang left the upper room in the main courtyard and didn't bother to go back to the house to change clothes. She went to the east chamber to find her brother Hai Jiao and told him the news she heard today.

Hai Jiao learned that the two nuns in the Tang family's education were recommended to the Tang family by Madam Ma and Zhou Shuyi. He was stunned for a while and then realized: "So, it is really possible that these two nuns are spies? Zhou Shuyi When did you hook up with the Sun family?"

No matter when Zhou Shuyi hooked up with the Sun family, the two daughters of the Tang family had been taught by their nanny in the capital for less than five years, so the time was right. Mr. Sun Ge has been using his power in the court to deprive the northwest frontier army of military expenses and food for more than five years. Although the results of the northwest frontier's self-reliance are good, not every place and every general can easily be self-sufficient by their own abilities. If you live such a poor life for too long, it is inevitable that someone will have other ideas in life. Zhou Shuyi's betrayal of her natal family and her defection to the Sun family is an example. The Tang family's desire to break out of the northwest and return to the capital is also an example.

The Sun family can use Zhou Shuyi, so why can't they use the Tang family?

What's more, it's just a recommendation of two nuns. Madam Ma and Zhou Shuyi don't even need to know their details. As long as the Sun family is willing to let Zhou Shuyi know that there are two nuns from the palace who are willing to travel thousands of miles to Just go to Chang'an and teach the generals a thousand gold coins. Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi received a favor from the Tang family in vain, and they could rely on this favor in the future to continue to maintain their dignity in the powerful circles of Chang'an. As for what the nanny did in the Tang family, and what does it have to do with them?

The Tang family got a good education nun, and they were probably even tricked. It was said that these two nuns knew noble people in the palace, and could help match the young ladies of the Tang family, and arrange for a prominent marriage in the capital. These two nuns came into the house. As for whether the two correctional nuns secretly collected any information and sent letters to others besides teaching the students... who would doubt it among ordinary people? They have lived in the inner house for many years, and they are not familiar with the place in Chang'an City, so they still expect the Tang family to provide for them in the future. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who can be a spy!

Hai Jiao could only sigh secretly: "No matter whether these two nuns are really from the palace, they must have no problem with etiquette and rules. Otherwise, if the Zhou family has a queen mother, you can tell at a glance that something is wrong. Even if they are not He is truly from a palace background and has received careful instruction from the palace people. That is to say, the Sun family can have such confidence only with Concubine Sun, a daughter who has been favored for decades!"

In order to establish a communication channel for the two mothers, the Sun family also bribed servants from the Tang family's outer courtyard, used the Tang family's neighbor's mother-in-law as a cover, and bribed a tavern owner near the Tang family to serve as intelligence The transfer station was really painstaking. The two nuns are separated from this communication channel. Even the Tang family's outer courtyard purchaser who acts as a traffic officer does not know of their existence. The Sun family protects them very closely. If Mrs. Tang hadn't suddenly run to contact the introducer, Mrs. Ma, who would have suspected them?

Haitang asked Haijiao: "Does my brother want to report this matter to my cousin? Just the fact that Mrs. Tang hid Mrs. Tuesday's secrets and instructed Mrs. Tuesday's maid to deliver a letter to Mrs. Ma is enough to arouse vigilance. I think she must not only be They just didn't want to fire off the two nuns in a shocking way, and they probably noticed something was wrong with the nuns.

"Maybe the Tang family has already leaked secrets, or it's a more serious kind. I don't know if other people have known about it, but Mrs. Tang has felt it, and she is afraid that if the matter gets bigger, the Tang family will be embarrassed, so she wants to secretly expose people I quit my job. We are very quiet people, and the third room of the Zhou family may not know what happened at all. But if the Zhenguo Government comes forward to investigate, Mrs. Tang will probably not hide it anymore. As long as she opens her mouth, many things can be done Get answers soon."

Hai Jiao nodded solemnly: "I think so too. Even the Tang family members have noticed Mrs. Tang's recent strange behavior."

He had been cooperating with Zhou Yijun for the past two days, and after a lot of effort, he called out Tang Meng, a branch of the Tang family, and persuaded him to cooperate with them.

Something happened to Tang Hui and she almost committed suicide. Tang Meng and her were both cousins, so they were naturally concerned. Tang Meng's mother went to visit her niece in the yard several times to persuade her to relax. Tang Meng also went there and saw and heard a lot of things. He told Hai Jiao and Zhou Yijun that Mrs. Tang was really arguing with the two nuns, and had even stopped their classes, not allowing Tang Hui, Tang Ruo and the others to continue studying, and also put the two nuns under house arrest in their place. They were not allowed to go out in the small courtyard where they lived.

Mrs. Tang felt that her daughter-in-law's behavior was a bit excessive, and several of her sisters-in-law also suspected that Mrs. Tang was trying to blame others. It was obviously her stepmother who failed to take good care of Tang Hui and was tricked by Mrs. Jin to "catch the adulterer", which made the matter such a big deal. In order to shirk the responsibility, she would desperately blame the mother-in-law who was responsible for the upbringing.

The two nuns have always behaved well in the Tang family over the years, and they have also been very attentive in educating the ladies. Although they are a bit strict, they are indeed well-informed. They can also tell the Tang family some news about Beijing, and are even willing to give advice. The sophistication of their officialdom was of great help to the Tang family, both men and women. Most people in the Tang family hope to keep them and provide for them in their old age. Some people even want to send their daughters to be taught by the mothers.

They don't expect their daughter to marry into a wealthy family in the capital, but if her daughter can become an elegant and virtuous lady, she can outshine the careless daughters of generals in the wedding market, and marry a noble son-in-law in the future. What a good thing!

Mrs. Tang was almost at odds with the whole family. Many people could not understand why she had to drive away the two correctional mothers. Although Tang Ruo and Tang Lan were on their mother's side, they didn't understand the reason and had complained to their brothers in private. Tang Ruo also wanted to find a good marriage for himself in the capital with the help of the nobles in the palace behind Nanny. The originally agreed thing was suddenly broken by her mother, and she was not without complaints in her heart. She just followed Mrs. Tang's wishes out of filial piety.

However, Mrs. Tang had given birth to two sons and had been in charge of the Tang family for many years. She had always done a good job and the whole family was very satisfied with her. Her position was secure and she insisted on resigning as a nanny, even giving up on finding a marriage for her daughter in the capital. No one else could say anything. Mrs. Tang already had the intention to relent, but she just didn't want to make things too tense. She hoped that the two nuns could be settled before they were dismissed. She was the one who made the promise that the Tang family would provide for the two nuns until they die. She didn't want to be the one who broke the promise just because of what her daughter-in-law thought.

Currently, some branches of the Tang family who have given birth to beautiful daughters are already discussing to take her in. As long as the nanny is still serving in the Tang family, what difference does it make if she is teaching the daughter of the direct branch or the daughter of the side branch? It's just that in terms of treatment and remuneration, they don't dare to compare with their direct descendants, and they have to find a way to discuss it with the two nuns.

Mrs. Tang did not allow the two nuns to leave the courtyard, and did not let others see them, but this attracted a lot of complaints...

Hai Jiao felt that the whole thing was already obvious.

Although Mrs. Tang is a female, she was also a general's wife who grew up in Chang'an City and has been a general's wife for more than ten years. She is not an ignorant woman. She noticed something strange about the nanny, so she put the person under house arrest and insisted on driving him away. Although it's unclear why she insists on meeting Mrs. Ma, as long as the Zhenguo Government comes forward, she probably won't hide it anymore.
