Return to the Qing Dynasty(75)

"From the capital?"

The housekeeper of the Mo family ran to Aunt Chen's yard one step ahead of Lin Yutong. When Lin Yutong stepped up the steps, he happened to hear Mo Wenlong ask this question.

Sounds like you're asking the butler.

The butler gave the answer with certainty, "It's true, boss Zhou Tongzhou brought it back."

"Who has seen it?" Mo Wenlong's voice was low and somewhat hesitant.

Lin Yutong secretly nodded at Mo Wenlong's caution. She didn't know who Zhou Tong was, but he could be called a boss. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be a businessman. Nowadays, businessmen are not discriminated against, but people's inherent concepts are still there.

Now, there are ways to deal with such people, but as for how deep the friendship is, considering Mo Wenlong's identity, it is really impossible. Power and money have always been inseparable. As he gets closer to businessmen, he himself

I'm afraid. I'm afraid that those little brothers and gentlemen from the royal family who don't know the heights of the sky will suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Mo Wenlong's first reaction was not to believe it, but to seek verification.

The housekeeper's voice was a little hesitant, "This... I have never heard of anyone seeing it. But... Zhou Tong's wife made a big fuss in the other courtyard because she heard that Zhou Tong brought women from the capital and hid them in the golden room of the other courtyard.

Jiao. This woman's reputation... Anyway, she is a bit fierce and ruthless, and most people can't resist it. Zhou Tong's entourage was forced to have no choice but to tell his wife where she lived, and she was a nobleman from the capital... "

Well, Zhou Tong's wife is so ignorant that she dares to publicize such things everywhere.

Just as Lin Yutong finished thinking this, he heard Mo Wenlong ask the same question, with a bit of disdain for women who don't know the general features in his voice.

The butler's voice came again, "It's not that it spread everywhere. It's just news from Aunt Bai's girlfriend. I think she often comes in and out of the inner house. Many ladies have good friendships. It's not surprising to hear about it. After all, before

The information sent is not inaccurate."

Aunt Bai’s goddaughter?

Lin Yutong kept this person in his mind, looked around, and turned towards the side path.

No one knows whether the person living in the other courtyard is Lao Jiu. They call him a noble person, but they have never seen the true face of this noble person in Lushan. Therefore, Lin Yutong is not in a hurry. He is afraid that the master and servant will come out, so he will retreat.

Retreat.

But it was interesting. The little girl who led the way said she was going to report to Aunt Chen, but no one had come back after such a long time. She had seen it in Mrs. Mo’s yard just now. Aunt Bai was beating her inside and outside.

Everything was taken care of properly. But when we arrived at Aunt Chen's yard, there were chaos everywhere. The owner was talking inside the house, but there was no one watching outside.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the little girl finally came over. When Lin Yutong was taken to Aunt Chen's house, she was a little stunned. How should I say?

If Mrs. Mo's house, which was tidied up by Aunt Bai, could be called elegant, then this place would be purely farmhouse.

The green tent and red quilt are hung with gold hooks. The woman standing next to the bed is dressed very similar to the background. She is wearing a pink coat and purple skirt and has gold bracelets hanging on her hands. Her expression is a bit reserved.

Lin Yutong only looked at the child lying on the bed. After checking his pulse, he said, "I guess you just took the medicine. This medicine is very good. Let's continue taking it."

The little girl who was leading the way stuck out her tongue and said, "Xiangu is really a miracle doctor. Wasn't she just feeding the young master medicine?"

Aunt Chen was delighted, "So the medicine has taken effect?"

That's not true. How can it be so fast? It's just a pulse check and a smell of medicine. The combination of these medicinal materials is indeed symptomatic. That's why I said this. Because after taking the medicine, there is no big problem.

Lin Yutong didn't feel the need to elaborate on this. He just smiled and nodded, assuming that he had dealt with it.

He turned around and was about to leave, then casually glanced at the places in the room that he hadn't paid much attention to just now.

For example, there is a robe that men usually wear at home draped on the screen. For example, on the small table beside the couch, not only is there a basket for women to do needlework, but there are also a few books randomly placed, one of which is open and turned upside down. It seems that

There was a men's purse on the Duobao Pavilion that I had seen half way through. I had seen it on Mo Wenlong before. He was still wearing it in Mrs. Mo's room just now, but it took a lot of effort to untie the purse.

. If there were no guests coming, Lin Yutong looked at the homely robe on the screen and wondered whether he would have changed into homely clothes early.

Lin Yutong didn't know that he had never entered Aunt Bai's room, but when he came out of Mrs. Mo's room and compared it with Aunt Chen, he found that there was no trace of the male master there.

Lin Yutong didn't look back to see Aunt Chen. After coming out, she felt that the Mo family was really a temple demon. It was hard to say which one, Aunt Bai or Chen, was behind this.

She had been suspicious of Aunt Bai before. After all, externally, Aunt Bai's reputation could be known almost as soon as she inquired about her. She was serving the main wife and presiding over the wife, so could this be what a favored aunt should be like?

Listening to this situation, you have to think that Bai Yinang is not simple.

But after seeing Mo Wenlong treat Aunt Bai, Lin Yutong felt that this might not be the case.

Now that I have met this Aunt Chen, who has a famous name and a clear history, even if she has given birth to two sons, people can deliberately ignore her. Lin Yutong feels that she is even more extraordinary.

Instead, Aunt Bai became the sign blocking the front, as if someone had deliberately erected it like this.

As for why Mo Wenlong is so unstoppable around him, there are roughly three reasons: First, the White Lotus Sect is frequent in the Yangzhou area of ​​Hangzhou; second, as the local parent official, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Infiltrating his own people can not only make them take action

It is more convenient, and you can also get some more accurate information; thirdly, Mo Wenlong has frequent contacts with the capital. His daughter married Gao Gao in Zhangge's hometown, and the news there can be said to be directly accessible to the sky. This channel can be said to be great.

Ask for help in times of distress.

It is normal for these people to set their sights on Mo Wenlong.

It's just that Aunt Bai and Aunt Chen... can they really be unmoved when faced with the middle-aged and elegant Mo Wenlong?

Ask someone to tell Aunt Bai that Mrs. Mo's illness is a bit troublesome and she will have to stay in the house for two more days.

Aunt Bai didn't know if she had told Mo Wenlong, but she replied that she would arrange a house immediately and asked Lin Yutong to just live in the house. The guest room was not far from the main courtyard and was a very quiet courtyard.

At night, Xiao Niangan went out quietly and came back quietly, reporting: "Aunt Chen said she had something to do and invited Aunt Bai over..."

"What did you say?" Lin Yutong leaned to one side and asked with his eyes closed.

What was said?

"What did you say?" Aunt Chen's face remained as usual. She looked up at Aunt Bai, who was pouring tea by herself. Her tone was very gentle, "It's nothing. I just heard that the fairy girl was left in the house by Sister Bai.

Yes, just ask more."

What did Aunt Bai say at that time? She said, "I think this fairy girl's moral practice is very profound. Madam's illness will definitely be cured. Maybe in three to five days, maybe in ten to eight days, she will be better. In order to

Madam, I think it’s appropriate to keep this person for a few more days. What? Sister Chen doesn’t think it’s appropriate?”

Xiao Niangan imitated it perfectly, imitating the expressions and tones of the two of them.

At that time, Aunt Chen raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Bai seriously, "I'm afraid we have to discuss this matter with the master carefully."

"Sister Chen, you think the master doesn't want your wife to be well?" Aunt Bai looked around the room and suddenly laughed mockingly. She didn't know what she was laughing at.

Aunt Chen held the summer socks she was embroidering for the man in her hands and was speechless. After a long time, she whispered: "...Does it really have to be like this?"

Aunt Bai sneered, "No one thought of this. That's not why I came that day..."

"Is this why I came that day?" Aunt Chen put down the embroidery work in her hand, took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears that rolled down instantly, "You came...I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect that?" Aunt Bai said with a mocking look, "Why was you chosen that year? Don't you have any idea? How many big things... have not been done. What's the result? You are living a small life. One child after another

A new student, no news has been delivered for three to five years. What? You think you have found a supporter, and you are no longer the Chen Qiuniang who came to ask for help that day? Okay! If you really have such ability, I will admire you. But you

What? You are so stupid that you really think that no one can hinder you. Isn’t that right? Here I come! I know you resent me, but it’s useless for you to resent me. If it wasn’t me, it would be someone else. You are too self-righteous and want to leave...

It also depends on whether the person agrees or not..."

Aunt Chen's face turned pale and red, and it took her a long time to say: "Actually, you are worrying too much. Haven't you been very good these past two years..."

Good?

A trace of anger rose on Aunt Bai's face, she was like this when she said she was loyal and loyal.

Xiao Nianzhan followed Lin Yutong's example, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he didn't forget to ask Lin Yutong, "What kind of relationship do they have?"

what relationship?

Judging from the information revealed in these conversations, it was not an accident that Chen Qiuniang was chosen. Otherwise, why did Mrs. Mo’s grandma choose her from so many candidates? She just noticed a scholar without anyone connecting her.

Daughter, now that I think about it, it does feel like a coincidence.

For the sake of caution, people had been asked to check on Chen Xiucai, and even the nanny next to Mrs. Mo was also asked to check. There was no news from Chen Xiucai, but the nun who chose Aunt Chen was there.

I died of an illness a few years ago. It was said that I had dysentery and died within two days.

Then it becomes even more difficult to find out what happened back then. Even if Chen Qiuniang is Chen Xiucai's biological daughter, this does not mean that Chen Qiuniang has no problems. In fact, poor people and people who have a bad life often suffer misfortunes in their families.

The easier it is for people to be deceived by these messy teachings of this and that, people must have spiritual sustenance, and the more adversity they are in, the more so.

If this is the case, then everything is easy to explain. Chen Qiuniang was selected and pushed in front of the nanny, and her advantage was nothing more than her innocent wealth and four words.

I have painstakingly arranged such an event, but what is the result?

The result is that after Chen Qiuniang became the concubine of an official, she lived a life that she could never dream of. Although her man was what those in the church called a Manchu lackey and a dog official. But in her opinion, this dog

But the official is a good dog official, conscientious and diligent. He loves his children and loves his wife. For such a high-ranking, tall and elegant-looking man, he and she are already married, so it is normal for her to be attracted to him.

The things she had learned in the classroom were slowly forgotten by her. All her wisdom was put on how to please this man. She was well-behaved and honest, which made her feel at ease with her. She also

Smart, I slowly learned more and more about Mrs. Mo. The more I knew, the more I knew what to do? I learned how to serve the man like Mrs. Mo. Sure enough, the emperor paid off and the man was most relaxed with her.

, her belly also got better, and the children jumped out one after another. Maybe it was the hard days that she had suffered, and all the children she gave birth to were sons. When the second son came into this world, the nanny slowly

I feel something is wrong. My wife is just a legitimate son, and now I have become like that again. Now a young aunt has given birth to two sons. If my aunt hadn't married well, what would have happened in the future? And this Aunt Chen

, maybe she noticed something strange about her, and then she acted preemptively to avoid this trouble. After all, as long as she had doubts about the intrigues among the candidates, she would have figured it out if she thought about it carefully. If she had been interested in Mo

Even if Wenlong said a few words, what greeted her was not what she wanted. So she took action, and the result was not only that the nanny died, but also that the person was probably caught.

Those in the White Lotus Sect were counting on her to succeed. Unfortunately, a woman who has a man and becomes a mother will no longer focus on those illusory things. She has lived a small life and has long forgotten those people. But

Those people couldn't forget her, and they must be paying attention to her silently. She killed people, and wanted to kill people to silence her, just to get rid of the White Lotus Sect. It's a pity that these people are not vegetarians, and they directly took advantage of her.
To be continued...
