Chapter 474 The person behind the scenes
"According to my father and mother's wishes, if it is for the good of the Dong family, then it must be successful." Dong Linglong answered half of the answer first, and paused for the other half, Fang's emotions Tell the truth without being too high-minded, "If you rely on What I thought in my heart was that I didn’t want this marriage to happen.”
Meng Shisan was not surprised. Ever since she heard Dong Linglong mention this meeting, Dong Linglong had always been in low spirits. Look, she had already guessed that Dong Linglong actually didn't want to see each other.
She still asked why: "Can you tell me the reason?"
"The reason is very simple. Mr. Yun is good at everything, much better than me in everything. , If it really happens, I will be marrying high, and marrying high will be powerful." So Dong Linglong felt indescribable fear and resistance to this high-ranking family.
Meng Shisan nodded: "It is indeed a high marriage. But according to most families, it has always been a low-income family to marry a high-income daughter."
"What you said makes sense, and so does my mother. You said it to me like this..." Halfway through Dong Linglong's words, her throat seemed to be As if the cotton was stuck, "Come on, let's meet each other. Maybe Mr. Yun is just here for a formality. I... really think too highly of myself."
Meng Shisan felt, Dong Linglong was too self-deprecating, and even felt timid.
It’s not me, and she can’t understand my true feelings. No matter how she feels, it’s her feeling, not Dong Linglong’s own feeling. Let Dong Linglong experience it when things come to pass.
At this moment, it is not appropriate for her to say anything.
After sending Dong Linglong away, Meng Shisan immediately asked Kite to inquire about the collapse of Dengshan in Bixu Manor.
The kite came back quickly: "Miss, as soon as the servant arrived, Yan Da, the steward of Bixu Manor, gave this to the servant, saying that it was ordered by Mr. Cui Qi."
Meng Shi San looked at the pile of papers held in Kite's hand: "These are..."
"The paper and the banknotes." Kite handed it over with both hands.
Meng Shisan took it and looked at the top piece of paper and saw the last bank note with a face value of one hundred taels: "What's going on?"
Kite then recounted what Yan Zhu told her about the entire Dengshan collapse incident.
It is true that they fought for the Lamp King, and it is also true that the fight went too far and they fought, causing the lamp mountain to fall.
As for the origins of those groups of people pretending to be young masters, in the above pleadings, the names of the plaintiffs and defendants, one after another, are written neatly, and their origins are even more detailed. It is written clearly.
In short, Cui Yu asked Yan Zhu to give these to her. He was directly checking out the details of the entire incident before handing it over to her, so that she could know whatever she wanted to know. .
The origins of these groups of people are indeed not far from what Dong Kuan had guessed.
There are people doing manual labor, low-level people like porters and porters.
"They all use money to do things. Why did the lamp mountain collapse and they started biting each other? You sued me and I sued you?" Meng Shisan put the whole pile of papers on the table and raised his eyes and asked Kite.
Kite replied: "Steward Yan didn't say much. He only said that there are people behind these people. The fight for the Lantern King and the fight were all instigated by the people behind them. If it was their own initiative, This fight can't be fought, let alone Maybe they are too full to fight for the lantern king in Bixu Manor." "That's the truth." Meng Shisan agreed, "Poor people are running around day and night, and their daily lives are difficult. How can they have the time to appreciate lanterns and participate. What about the Lantern Festival with the Moon? It's impossible for you to fight over me for a lamp king, and even sue each other to the government. It's not easy for the people, and they have always tried their best not to have anything to do with the official word. Go check the people behind them, Anyone."
After sighing, he warned: "Be careful. If you find something wrong, don't act rashly. Come back and report it to me before taking the next step. ”
This was the first time that Kite heard Meng Shisan tell her to ask for permission before she came back. She couldn't help but think a little deeper: "Do you think the collapse of the Dengshan Mountain this time is not just a matter of fighting for the Damp King?"
< br>"The young masters in the capital are all high-spirited. It has worked, but to be honest, none of the young masters have really caused any big trouble." Meng Shisan felt that there must be other series of tricks waiting behind this, and it has nothing to do with him. Get up, she has to find out and see if it's true before deciding whether to reach out or not.
Kite promised: "Miss, don't worry, I will be extremely cautious."
Although she doesn't understand everything, after spending time with the lady these days, she has seen a lot of things in the past. As a part of Cui's family, I have never had the opportunity to witness the bloodless overt and covert fighting.
The young lady said this. Nine times out of ten, it might be related to the direction of the court and the imperial power and government affairs.
Immediately after Kite left the house to investigate secretly, Meng Shisan also left the house with the orb.
Before leaving the house, Meng Shisan told the truth to Shang. After hearing about the collapse of Dengshan Mountain and Zeng Zhongqi being injured and bleeding because of trying to protect his two sisters, Shang agreed with Meng with a wave of his hand. Report of Thirteen going to Zeng Mansion to visit.
Arrived at Zeng Mansion, Meng Shisan brought the orb into the house, and soon saw Zeng Chongqi who was recovering from his injuries at home.
Zeng Zeng was severely injured on the area between his back and shoulder. The wound was not deep, but was pulled too hard by a sharp object. Dr. Gu, who is good at trauma, said that it should have been a thin bamboo used as a support by a lantern. A stab wound.
It’s a blessing that it didn’t penetrate deep into the body.
I pulled out the superficial wound, and it looked like it spanned a long and long area, but in fact it was just a flesh wound, it was not a problem, and after three to five days, it would be almost healed.
Meng Shisan went to Zeng Zhongqi's dormitory to see Zeng Zhongqi once. Zeng Zhongqi was fully clothed and half-reclined on the bed. She saw that nothing was wrong, so she met Zeng Zhongqi again. After saying a few words, they walked out of the house with Mrs. Hu, Zeng Chongjin and Zeng Chongrong.
My aunt led her and her two cousins to sit down in the hall of Qiyuan. She was talking about the collapse of Dengshan Mountain last night. She didn’t sit there for long while sighing from left to right. Then the two cousins took me to the small garden in the inner courtyard for a walk.
In the small garden, Zeng Chongrong and Meng Shisan said: "Don't look at my mother sighing repeatedly, in fact, my mother is at least half secretly happy that my eldest brother can take a break for this."
Meng Shisan raised his eyebrows and looked at the steady fourth cousin.
Zeng Chongjin smiled and nodded: "Just now in the eldest brother's yard, mother knew that eldest brother must have wanted Xiang Lin or Xiang Lie to listen secretly in the corner, so she was so exaggeratedly worried in front of you, Yaoyao. of defecation It’s so that my eldest brother can stop working so hard day and night in the Jinyiwei Yamen in the future.”
In the end, the two sisters were still smiling, and in the end, the two sisters were still smiling. All of them lost their smiles.
"What's wrong? The fourth and fifth cousins are also worried about my cousin?" Meng Shisan was still laughing when he heard it, but he couldn't help but ask at the end.
Actually, there is no need to ask. The joys and sorrows of the two sisters are all written on their faces.
