Chapter 98 Marriage Negotiation ([-])

When Zhao Yuanwan arrived at the main courtyard, she saw that the courtyard was quiet, and Juanhong and Sai Qing were sitting in Baoxia doing money thread work. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly went out to welcome her.

"I heard that the Zhuang Mansion sent someone? They left?" Zhao Yuanwan looked into the main room, "Mother is in there?"

Juanhong didn't hide it either, "It's Yue Zhan next to Madam Zhuang. After he left, Madam said she wanted to be alone."

"I'll go in and have a look." Zhao Yuanwan was also worried about what the Zhuang Mansion was doing.

Juanhong raised the curtain to let people in, and then brought Jinsuo to Baoxiali to talk.

In the main room, Mrs. Cheng saw her daughter and beckoned her to sit beside her, "Mrs. Huang wrote a letter, saying that the Zhuang family wanted to marry Yuanxi to Zhuang Qiyuan, and let us find a way to mess up the marriage."

Mrs. Zhuang's surname is Huang.

Mrs. Cheng didn't have much contact with her, and now she can be contacted because of the letter sent by Sifang to Mrs. Zhuang when You Rui died. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhuang would not have gotten the letter right away and went to Zhao's house to make trouble.

Cheng's doing this is nothing more than returning Madam Zhuang's favor. After all, when her daughter was in the family temple, she still used Madam Zhuang as an excuse. Come here, although there is not much written in the letter, Mrs. Cheng understands that Mrs. Huang also intends to threaten.

"If we don't do it, won't she tell us about our whistleblower and your letter to her?" Zhao Yuanwan participated in all these things.

"I'm also thinking about this question. Mrs. Huang has never liked the second girl, and now she wants to marry her into the mansion. How can she agree to it? You can't refute Prime Minister Zhuang. Naturally, you can only start with the second girl." Cheng didn't expect Huang's It stuck on like a dog's skin plaster, "It stands to reason that the family is separated, and we don't have to be afraid of Huang's pulling those out, but after all, it is to isolate the fourth house, let alone the matter of sending letters to the Zhuang Mansion. Your father wouldn't have spared us. We killed the man, and in the end we informed the Zhuang Mansion. Otherwise, we wouldn't have caused these troubles. In the final analysis, the fault was ours, so this This matter must not be exposed, once it is revealed, your reputation will be ruined." My son will not be able to marry, and I am afraid that Wenfu will not wait to see him.

"Then what does mother plan to do? Now that we've moved out, why is the marriage messed up? Even in the mansion, we don't have the ability." Zhao Yuanwan twisted the handkerchief in his hand, "Unless Yuanxi's body is broken, let the Zhuang mansion You can't marry such a daughter-in-law, otherwise there is no other way."

Cheng's eyes lit up, "Well said, I never thought of that."

"You don't really want to do this, do you? But people are in the mansion, what should we do?" Zhao Yuanwan was not afraid, but just felt that it would not work at all.

Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, "You don't have to worry about that."

Although Zhao Yuanwan was curious, she didn't ask any further questions, knowing that when things became clear, her mother would naturally tell her, but there was a commotion outside, Cheng frowned, "Juanhong, what's going on outside?"

"Ma'am, Aunt Tian is here, and she didn't say much when she came in, she just slapped Sai Qing." Sai Qing is also Cheng's big girl.

When Cheng heard this, she became angry, "You are so brave, you came to my yard to beat my big girl, is there any rule? If I don't say anything, am I going to ride on the head of my mistress? Hit me up, put someone in for me, I want to ask her where she got the guts to do it."

Tian has a son, and usually makes men happy. Zhao Yuwei often goes to her place. Cheng is jealous but has no other way. Who makes Tian too cunning to catch her, Today, I am the master of the house, and Tian's bump into him, how can I be lenient.

Zhao Yuanwan sat at the side, watched Tian Shi being pushed in by two women, looked away, and fiddled with the handkerchief in his hand.

"Madam, you have to be the master of this concubine, otherwise the second young master will be bullied to death by these servants." Before Cheng could speak, Tian began to cry.

Cheng sneered, "Oh? Then you want to talk about it, and I want to hear what it is. I have only been in charge of the house for a few days, and the servants are about to step on the head of the master. It is indeed my mistress who is not good enough." it is good."

In the words, it was a mockery that Mrs. Tian also broke the rules and beat people into the mistress's courtyard.

Tian doesn't care about this, she is not afraid if she dares to make trouble today, "Ma'am, the second young master only ate a bowl of porridge this morning, and at noon the kitchen sent someone to deliver the porridge. I heard that there are guests in the mansion, so I asked more questions." Is there no dry food and vegetables? Those girls said that the dry food and vegetables are for the master, not for the lowly things. The concubine is lowly, but the second young master is the master's flesh and blood, and a little girl called it lowly How can I raise my head to meet people in the future? The servant girl just scolded a few times in anger, and the little girl said that even the Saiqing and Juanhong in the madam's courtyard are more expensive than the second young master, so the concubine came here and wanted to find the madam Criticism, but Sai Qing stopped the concubine and scolded the concubine for not being polite. Madam, you have to decide for the concubine."

Mrs. Cheng frowned after hearing this, "So that's how it is. She's just a girl, and you're even fussing over her, isn't that degrading your status? You know what's going on outside now, and every family can still have some food to eat." It's not bad, it's fine if it's dry, as long as you can eat enough, it's not a guest in the house this afternoon, so I made some food for the guests, and we didn't dare to touch the remaining dry food and vegetables, just keep it Leave it for the master, since Brother Yong is hungry, let someone get it for Brother Yong."

After finishing speaking, Cheng explained to Juanhong again.

Tian shi secretly scolded Cheng shi for cheating, no matter how poor this mansion is, it only eats porridge, and even gives other people's leftovers to Brother Yong, which is treating their mother and child like dogs.

Master Pian is not in the mansion at this time, Tian can only admit it.

As soon as Tian Shi left, Zhao Yuanwan couldn't help worrying, "What if she arranges mother with her father?"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't we all eat porridge when we moved here these days, and your father can't find a reason." When we first moved here, the kitchen was not used well, and we could only eat some porridge every day. When we were hungry, Cheng Shi asked people to make some snacks for later use.

These snacks are naturally not available at Tian's side.

Zhao Yuanwan disagreed, "It's just some food. If mother wants to trouble her, she can find other things. Why bother to start from here, until she looks petty. Father has always liked brother Yong. When the time comes, he will scold mother for this matter, proud of it." Isn't it from Tian's side?"

"I just hate that she took advantage of the loophole back then, otherwise how could a concubine come out to compete with your eldest brother for the family property." Cheng didn't have time to think about this, "You go back too, I have to deal with the second girl's affairs."

Zhao Yuanwan didn't ask, and then got up and went back to her yard.

Mrs. Cheng called Sai Qing in, whispered something in her ear, Sai Qing nodded, took the ten taels of silver that Mrs. Cheng gave her, turned around and left.

Under the night, a small corner door of Zhao Mansion was opened by someone from the inside. Two figures walked in from the outside, and disappeared at the door of the corner door in a flash. The above records are travel notes and the characteristics and weather of some prefectures and counties. Yuanxi rarely read books in his previous life, but now he finds this very interesting.

Luzhu sat at the end of the bed making a cotton-padded jacket, "Girl, such a thick jacket is thicker than ours in the northwest, can it be used in the capital?"

"Preparation is always safe." Yuan Xi didn't raise his head, "It's getting late, let's do it tomorrow, and you should go down and rest."

Lu Zhu put away the last stitch, "The servant girl will go to rest, and the girl will also rest earlier."

After putting away the half-made padded jacket and needlework, Lvzhu went back to the wing to rest.

The surroundings are quiet, and people's ears are extra sensitive when they are here. When the candle explodes, Yuanxi's heart is in a mess. With a bad premonition, he instinctively takes off the sword hanging by the bed. When she came from the northwest, her younger brother gave it to her, but when she arrived in the capital, she put away the sword when she saw the actions of these ladies. It was not until this time that she suffered a loss that she asked Lvzhu to find the sword again. Hanging it on the head of the bed, so that my heart can be more at ease.

Holding the sword tightly in his arms, Yuan Xi looked at the door, always feeling that something would break in the next moment, but after half a stick of incense, there was no movement at the door, Yuan Xi secretly thought that he was too nervous Yes, just as she was wiping away her sweat, the rear window suddenly opened, and a gust of wind came in, blowing out the candle.

Yuan Xi shouted, "Who?"

Originally, when she yelled like this, a little girl on night duty outside should have heard the movement and came to inquire, but there was no movement at all, the surrounding was surprisingly quiet, Yuan Xi's hairs all stood on end, "Come here, come here."

He yelled out twice more.

No one responded, but saw two black shadows crawling in from the window, not waiting for me. Yuanxi knew that something must have happened outside, and there would be no chance if he waited any longer. He jumped up from the bed and drew out his sword at the same time. Seeing the person who came to the bedside, he stabbed at him fiercely. If he was a good person, he would not be able to keep silent, but he was obviously a bad person. If he wanted to save himself, he had to put the other person down first.

The sound of 'web' is the sound of the sword entering the flesh.

Something warmer rushed to his face, and the smell of blood was accompanied by the man's cry of pain. The other man who caught up later was obviously shocked when he saw Zhuang. Yuanxi took the opportunity, drew his sword and stabbed at him, but the man was on guard and he dodged.

Yuan Xi is not an idle person, after all, she is not a real boudoir lady, one sword fails and another is the second sword, the sword slashes at people with a vicious force, gradually getting used to the darkness around her, Yuan Xi even more It's easy to find the other party's vital point, and go to the other party recklessly, it's either you die or I live, there are only two ways to choose, Yuan Xi knows that if you don't desperately at this time, what is waiting for her is death.

At this moment, she felt like a wolf who smelled blood, wishing to gnaw off all the flesh on the opponent.
