Chapter 706 The rumor exploded, and Huang Ke helped
"Have you heard about the anecdotes of Baiyang Hutong?"
- At the banquet for the marriage of the daughter-in-law of Lord Shen, the eldest son of the Ministry of War, a female member of the Seven-grade imperial history slightly raised the corners of her eyes and raised the topic with interest.
Although Shen Langzhong is only a five-grade court official and is not outstanding, his family is also an eunuch. His eldest son married a daughter-in-law, and there are many guests. At this time, the banquet was not yet opened. In the inner house, the women's family members are gossiping in groups. At this table, in addition to the two seven-grade children, there is also a young grandmother of Shangshufu. , that is, Zhuo Yingyu's cousin, and two other women who are following the fun, among whom the most popular lady are a pair of sisters.
The surname is Su, and it is the second mother and the third mother.
Sanniang came to socialize with her husband and sister-in-law. Even if she and Er Niang didn't like each other, it would not be as cold as when she was at home, but it was not so close. San Niang's words are rare. If others flattered her, she just listened with a smile and her eyebrows were full of coldness.
In comparison, Er Niang looks like a fish in more water, and the Zhou family itself belongs to a big family. Although her husband is only a scholar and has no job, she was born in the Duke of Wei and married into a family. It is not surprising that Er Niang is sought after by others.
It's not easy for the sisters to show discord in one place when they met at another family banquet. Although the third mother has been far away from her mother's sisters since she got married, she still knows this etiquette, so she sat down with her second mother unwarmly. However, not long after they sat down, Li brought these people to please her.
The two sisters did not know that there was a grudge between Li and Yijing, let alone that Li and Qin Ziruo had a good relationship, and it was not Li who asked questions, so they were undefed at first.
The outy Er Niang even asked, "What Bai Yang Hutong?"
The surname of the woman who provoked the topic is He. Her son-in-law and Sun Meng are colleagues. The two are of the same grade, but the difference is that Sun Meng is a close minister of the emperor, and the Li family has the queen's eyes. He has always flattered Li. Because Qin Zi told him first, it is not easy for the Li family to take advantage of himself and just takes advantage of He.
"It is a place where ordinary people live in the outer city, but recently, there has been a domineering woman, and her words and deeds are very creepy." He looked well-known: "This tough woman's surname is Gong and has been married for two years. Although her husband's family is also a civilian, her family is still rich. However, somehow, Gong's father was put up in a lawsuit and sentenced to prison. Soon after, he died in prison. In order to save his father from prison, the man ran away and used up his savings, but When people were out of money, her mother-in-law cried and was blind. She wanted to ask for medicine for a long time, and her life became tight. Gong was full of complaints and gradually became uneasy in the room. She actually hooked up with a ruffian rogue in another city. Originally, it was still in secret, but she didn't know that she didn't return home at night.
As soon as Sanniang heard this, she became more and less interested, but Er Niang listened with relish. The noble women of the same "level" probably would not "socialize" with the vulgarity of these squares. Although He was a foreign woman, she came from a poor family and did not pay so much attention to it. Er Niang rarely heard such things, and only felt novel.
Li also looked smiling. In the letter sent by Qin Ziruo, he specially mentioned the second daughter of the Su family. Although she was a noble daughter, her biological mother was from a civilian background. She was taught that the second mother had a violent temper. Taking advantage of her to provoke trouble, she was bound to succeed in the discussion.
I only heard He continue to say: "No matter how good the temperament of Gong's man is, he can't tolerate it. Gong didn't return home at night. The next day, he went to the bar with the scoundrel. He was blocked by the man and took it home. What Gong did, the neighbors had already gossip. This day Seeing the man's power, they were all congested to watch the bustle, accusing Gong of being uneasy in the room and should be retired. If the etiquette of Dongming is strict, he will have to sink into the river.
Er Niang nods repeatedly and suddenly came into contact with the cold eyes that Sanniang had seen. She raised her eyebrows. She knew that Sanniang looked down on her and paid attention to these gossips, but she deliberately wanted to be angry with Sanniang and chased He's asking "what happened later".
"This Gong has no children under his knees. Don't usually convince his mother-in-law. The man is busy making a living outside. She even has many abusive words to her mother-in-law. This is so unfilial, and now she has fallen into the handle of staying at night. Which man is willing to tolerate it? Of course, he will have a wife. Gong did not accept it and said that he wanted to divorce and get back the original dowry, and said that she The blind mother-in-law once stole her jewelry and wanted to recover it. Her mother-in-law shouted injustice and cried and scolded Gong's blood. Gong rushed up and punched her feet. The man came forward to stop her, but was knocked to the ground by the scoundrel. If it hadn't been for the onlookers to fight and twisted the scoundrel, she might have caused her life.
The second mother was surprised: "This is at the feet of the emperor. Even if the current folk customs are open, it is not allowed for this unruly woman to do such evil deeds. No one will report to the official?"
"Neighbors threatened to report to the officials, but Gong Shi said that Weng's father had violated the national law before. In order to understand and rescue, her mother's family also made a lot of efforts and lost a lot of money. The mother-in-law and the man obviously did not want to pay off the debt, so they had to pinch her handle to get married so as to embezzle her dowry and shouted that she would not return overnight. Chu The princess was taken away for more than a few years. Hundreds of days and nights, her innocence has not been guaranteed for a long time. At present, she is still a princess. Who dares to say that she is not? There is equality under the etiquette. She is just staying out for one night. Why should she be suspended?
As soon as this word came out, Er Niang's interest was restrained.
She is straightforward and somewhat reckless, but after all, she is noble and her brain is not stupid. Hearing this, how can she not hear that the story of this shrew is actually aimed at the fifth sister and has a sinister heart.
At this time, Sanniang quietly sneered and looked elsewhere.
Naturally, it has not escaped the eyes of Li's close attention - as expected by Qi Niang, it was not bad. The third mother of the concubine of the state government seemed to be very dissatisfied with the princess of Chu, and the two sisters were discordant. This should be reminded to the queen to see if she can take advantage of it.
The second woman here slapped several cases and attacked her angrily: "How dare you slander the princess!"
He was already prepared and raised his chin and said, "What's this? This is not a concubine's nonsense, but Gong shouted out in public. The onlookers on that day have heard about it. Now it has spread all over the city square, and the people are talking about it. I don't know how many crimes they have committed. How many daughters' innocence have been destroyed, and the princess has really not been violated? The concubine thought that even if the grass was fierce and the princess's identity was different, they might not dare to do evil, but they did not dare to slander the princess.
Er Niang's voice just now has already attracted a lot of attention. Many eyes paid attention to this side, and a cighty maid quickly reported to the master's family. Mrs. Shen came quickly and at least stopped the disturbance.
But there are already girls paying attention to this dispute on the table. Of course, the two women who followed Li will not hide it. He is even more aggrieved and talk to people.
The noblewomen knew that this matter was unusual, and most of them did not talk about it in public, but they were speculative. The eyes of the Su sisters became meaningful, but no one mentioned it in front of the two.
Although Er Niang was unwilling, she still wanted to pester He's theory, but this time, she was pulled by San Niang.
"If the second sister is not afraid of this matter, she will not be able to make a scene, just care about the trouble."
Er Niang was angry: "Are you going to let these people slander the fifth sister like this?"
"Can the second sister block the mouth of Youyou? Can't you see that He has something on his mind, which is to spread it to everyone. If you quarrel with her at the wedding banquet in Shen's house, I dare not guarantee that for three days, the rumors of the Su sisters being thieves and humiliating foreign wives will be heard on the streets.
Er Niang:......
He pinched Sanniang's little arm fiercely: "You know it's a trap. Why didn't you remind me earlier? Su Yiluo, even if you were jealous of your fifth sister in the past, but we are sisters after all. You can't write two Su characters in one stroke, and you stand by?"
Sanniang shook her arm fiercely and sneered, "She is a princess. I'm just an official family. How much can I help her? Besides the second sister's nature, can I persuade her? If you just said that I stood by because of jealousy and hate in front of those people, it will become more realistic. Another sister in our Su family has been talked about the restless gossip. This piece is obviously planned by someone. Even if the second sister is not fooled today, it will spread sooner or later. Second sister, I don't bother to talk to Su. Beautiful scenery, you'd better go to the royal palace quickly and tell her about this matter, so as not to be scolded for her innocence and damage the reputation of the clan. She is still dreaming.
However, it is said that today's wedding banquet and a "relative" of the princess is the Wei family, who quietly "remarried" with Huang Ke. Although Huang Tao is very dissatisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law who "dislikes the poor and loves the rich", but Wei is the only female family member who can attend the socialization with the magistrate. Jiang has been completely confused at this time, most of the time. Even people can't recognize it, and Erlang's marriage has not been settled. Huang Tao wants to make friends with the Shen family, and it is not enough for him to attend with his son. Of course, he can't avoid letting the Wei family to communicate with the women. Fortunately, although the Wei family is more utilitarian, it is the official eunuch's daughter. Because of Huang Ke's compromise, she did not make a scene. At this time If you come forward, it won't be ridiculous.
Wei herself and Huang Ke were still in harmony and love. At the beginning, they proposed to divorce, because their biological mother forced each other to die, and her father and brother couldn't help but come to the door. However, although she returned home, she gritted her teeth and refused to marry again. Especially after hearing that Huang Ke "accidentally fell into the river", she took the initiative to mourn for him. The official position of the Wei family itself It was donated. The family was very utilitarian. Huang Ke's marriage in those years was more or less the result of the efforts of Mrs. Houfu. Huang Tao himself was extremely dissatisfied with the Wei family.
Wei was weak and had no opinions, but he was still gentle. After Huang Tao's salted fish turned over, Huang Ke returned safely. The Wei family sent his daughter back to the Huang family. After knowing it, Wei only felt ashamed and almost wanted to die. He hung up on the beam, but was found and rescued by the maids in time.
Huang Ke welcomed her back without saying a word. Wei had no different meaning. At this time, he heard rumors at the table and told Huang Ke about this matter.
This matter had little to do with Huang Tao. It was operated by the Qin family, but Huang Ke knew very well that Huang Tao had bad intentions with the Duke of Wei, and he was not in the mood to verify it. He only felt that even if he was not Huang Tao's mastermind, it was really difficult to stand by. He had to do something helpful to feel at ease.
On this day, when a few dung beers were drunk and talked about the fact that the Qi family was a villain, and Princess Chu fell into their hands for fear of being humiliation, Huang Ke took action.
A cup of the cup directly hit the dage, rushed forward politely, lifted it several times, and gritted his teeth to overturn the banquet.
and resolutely scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. Qi Jiatang is a righteous man. Because he was robbed of money by the bandits and encountered something unexpected, thanks to the help of Qi Jiatang's people on the road, he was saved and settled for his wounds, so that he could return safely."
As a result... Huang Ke was beaten by several dung bets.
This incident shocked Shuntianfu, and Huang Ke officially recorded the rescue of Qi Jiatang.
After Huang Tao knew it, he almost fell down in anger - how could he not know that Huang Ke could not be rescued by Qi Jiatang at all, and he didn't know for what purpose the emperor had released people back.
But this incident undoubtedly made Qin Xiang secretly dissatisfied and thought that Huang Tao was his own person. It seems that it is still unknown how this person is. It is time to let Huang, the wife of the Duke of the State, enter the palace and beat him.
