Chapter 24 loosen the soil
Sent Wu mother and son away, Wen Mingqian returned to the inner house.
Ma Zhang came over and said, "Girl, why are the people in the troupe so miserable?"
"What else did you find out?" Wen Mingqian asked.
Zhang Ma asked for the details, but the two people explained the whole story in detail, but it was of no use.
The person who came to find them was a thin man, and they did not recognize Wen Mingqian's description.
Ms. Song was not a fool and did not directly ask the people around her to handle it. They were probably people from her brother's family.
"Although I know that this bitch Song Xiulian was responsible for this, it is not easy to think that it really fell on her. She will definitely not admit it." Zhang Ma said.
"Yes, not to mention that there is no one in this family who can make decisions for us. If we stir up trouble, we will only hurt the enemy eight hundred and lose a thousand to ourselves." Naturally, Wen Mingqian had already seen through this.
"The bad things happened to the left and right, so I asked them to hand over the two hundred taels of silver as punishment." Zhang Ma said.
"Remember to tell them that if the other party comes to ask, just say that I was not happy when I heard the name of the opera and asked to change it." Wen Mingqian said, "I don't want the Song family to know that our affairs in the capital these years have not been I don’t know anything, so it’s better to let her underestimate the enemy.”
“Understood,” Zhang Ma said, “We changed "Yuanyangmeng" to Tanci, and the guests didn’t think there was anything wrong. "
He then said, "What's going on with the young prince of the Feng family? I'm afraid it's the Song family's fault, right?"
Wen Mingqian briefly told the story about Feng Tianzhu.
After hearing this, Zhang Ma couldn’t help but scolded: "This evil-hearted bastard! She doesn’t even let the children go. Then the Feng family’s little lady had sex with her for nothing, just to plot against us. Bring down such a precious child.”
"It can also be seen from this that Aunt Song is ungrateful. She only plans everything for herself." Wen Mingqian smiled, "How can such selfishness last long?"
"Then Cui Er She is also a fool!" Zhang's mother scolded Cui Baozhu, "This is to save her face, otherwise she will never get married in this life."
"I see that her family's life is not very satisfactory. She probably regarded Mrs. Song as her lifesaver, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a despicable thing for her." Wen Mingqian sighed, "She doesn't understand that the most important thing in this world is to rely on oneself, and others can at least help her. It cannot be relied upon.”
“Thanks to our young master’s cleverness this time, ordinary children would have fallen into their trap,” Zhang Ma said, “If they had succeeded, the Feng family would have had no choice but to do so. They will spread their grievances on us, and the Gong family will throw us out to blame."
"But this matter will still be exposed to some extent, not just the young lady of the Feng family. Really quit." Wen Mingqian said, "The Song family has deep roots in this family. If you want to do anything to her, you have to be patient. The best you can do is loosen the soil. If you want to uproot her, you have to do it again. Kungfu.”
"She is hiding in her brother's house now, and we won't confront her for a while. But that Mrs. Liu must be punished, otherwise she will think we are easy to play." Zhang Ma said, "I know she is Mrs. Yang's cousin , It’s better to clean up this mess as soon as possible.”
“I thought so too, so I called her over as soon as possible.” Wen Mingqian raised his hand and rubbed his sore shoulders, "After working hard all day, I also want to take a rest."
"The girl goes back to rest first, I will call her right away." Zhang Ma said, "Let's This time it’s not in vain, even if it doesn’t hurt her muscles and bones, it can still cause her pain for several days.”
Gong Changan giggled as he took Wen Mingqian’s hand and walked back. "Mother, when are we going to visit the Feng family?" "Don't worry, that little prince is spoiled. As long as he wants to see you, the Feng family will definitely send someone to invite you." Wen Mingqian said with a smile, " After what happened today, he seems to have remembered you. But that child is not an ordinary willful child. You should be careful when playing with him.”
"Don't worry, mother, no matter how willful he is, I will still have something to do with him." Palace Chief An was confident, "Besides, if you make good use of him, he will be a talisman."
"I know what you mean, the Feng family's We have a higher family status than the Gong family. If we can make friends with them, the Gong family will show mercy to us." Wen Mingqian looked at the flying clouds in the corner and thought of the snow-capped mountains in Shuangxi that never melted.
"Mother, do you remember the past again?" Gong Changan raised his head and asked softly.
Wen Mingqian laughed and rubbed his head: "But you little devil knows everything."
The mother and son entered the house, and Gong Changan scooped out the pot from the drying cylinder with his own hands. A bowl of vegetarian dishes came out and was handed to Wen Mingqian.
"Mother, you are busy greeting the guests today, and you don't want to eat the food raw. Let's use this as a cushion first." Gong Changan said and asked the maid to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of hot rice.
"How could I be so hungry? Just have a snack and a cup of tea." Wen Mingqian said.
"You can't do it," Gong Changan said, "Otherwise, Zhang Ma will force you to eat when she comes back."
Wen Mingqian had no choice but to use it briefly.
As soon as she rinsed her mouth, Mother Liu was brought here.
After entering the door, Wen Mingqian knelt down and begged: "Madam, please spare me this old bone!"
"Mother Liu, in the final analysis, you are always at fault for what happened today, and so am I. I won't argue with you about the truth, so as not to involve too many people." Wen Mingqian knew that she was at peace with her denial, so he didn't start a verbal war with her. "If nothing else, I must give the Feng family an explanation, otherwise they will be angry. "What should I do?"
Mother Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Madam, you have considered it carefully, but I have been working in this house for many years, and I have no merit but hard work. Please ask me." You're so pitiful, please give me a way out."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Wen Mingqian said with a kind face, "Just go to Zhuangzi outside the city! There’s not much work, and the wages are still the same.”
“Oh, madam, I’m already at this age, so don’t let me go outside the city. You’ll fine me two months’ salary. That's enough." Mother Liu started to cry as she spoke, "I'm sorry for my husband, but our son is here and we are torn into two."
"Old Liu, what do you have to complain about? The fourth young master has nothing to do today, otherwise you wouldn't be able to compensate for your old bones! Madam is also merciful and asked you to go outside to the village, but you are still here crying again You're making trouble again. Do you really think that Madam can't do anything about it?" Zhang Ma said with a sullen face, "Since you can't bear to leave your husband and son, you and your family should go to Zhuangzi instead! No one here will suffer.”
Of course Mother Liu was unwilling to give in and wanted to make some more excuses.
Wen Mingqian also darkened his face: "I am the mistress of this family, can't I control you? Even if Aunt Song is at home, can I protect you from being punished?"
Mother Liu did not dare to say anything after hearing this. She knew that if they really wanted to confront her, Mrs. Song would definitely throw her away.
Instead of doing that, it is better to admit it obediently, so as not to offend both parties.
