Chapter 98: Heavens, what kind of ghost gossip is this

It is said that after the woman entered the Yuan Mansion, the Yuan family asked about the woman's background in detail. When hearing the woman say that she had sung in an opera troupe, Madam Yuan, Madam Zhang, eyes lit up.

She had no other hobbies, just loved listening to plays, and could be said to be an opera fan.

At that moment, she wanted this woman to live in the mansion.

The wife of the Earl of Shoushan did not agree with such a person from the lower nine streams entering the Yuan family gate. She saw that this woman's eyes were too cunning and she was not a good person at all.

But after all, this was a good thing of helping others and knowing how to repay kindness, so it was not easy to drive her out directly.

Could only suggest that the Yuan family give some settlement silver and let her go.

However, Madam Yuan did not agree. An opera singer who could sing while feeding, where to find a free one?

The wife of the Earl of Shoushan saw her sister-in-law like this and was a little angry.

Earl Yuan returned to the mansion and also arrived at the main hall, but it was not easy to say anything, so he drove away the wife of the Earl of Shoushan and the wife of the Earl of Lady Yongping, and even the matter of adding betrothal gifts was abolished.

Xie Shi was vividly telling the story. She didn't go to the palace because she was pregnant. It was her sister-in-law who came here to see her on behalf of her mother-in-law and told her, and her sister-in-law's maiden family was related to the wife of the Earl of Lady Yongping, who was a bystander!

This gossip began to spread before the New Year, but it was only today that the nobles gathered in the Imperial Palace, which accelerated the speed of spread.

Below is the retelling of Madam Wu, saying that the wife of the Earl of Shoushan, Madam Yuan, left the Yuan family angrily, and because there were many things at the end of the year in the court, Earl Yuan went to the study to be busy with official business.

Yuan Wenshao, the eldest son of the Yuan family, followed his biological mother, Madam Zhang, and liked listening to plays since childhood.

He returned to the mansion, and his mother's maid came to the door to welcome him:

"Eldest young master, your matter of bravely saving a weak woman who was bullied in Bianjing has spread! That girl, in order to be grateful, specially came to the mansion gate to kneel and want to repay the kindness!"

Yuan Wenshao was confused. He didn't remember such a thing.

Entering his mother's courtyard, he heard the woman in his mother's courtyard singing, and her voice was very pleasant.

He entered his mother's main hall,

Madam Yuan saw her eldest son and said happily: "Miss Zhu, this is my eldest son, look and see if it is him."

This Miss Zhu looked back, and then her eyes shook.

After being stunned for a while, she knelt down softly, and her soft figure made people feel very pitiful.

"Man Niang, meets the benefactor."

Saying this, she kowtowed on the ground, and between getting up, her chest clothes were bulging.

Yuan Wenshao, the eldest young master, coughed lightly, then turned his head to look elsewhere, adjusted his expression, and said with a confused face: "When did I save you?"

"I think the benefactor was drunk at that time and saved Man Niang with a casual effort without knowing it."

"Chun'er, I asked in detail, it was near Pan Tower! This Miss Zhu, sings plays well, and I like her very much. Your father didn't object, so let her stay in your courtyard."

Before the words were finished, Yuan Wenshao's mistress, Madam Zhang, started crying outside the door.

"Mother-in-law, is this how you treat me?"

Xu Zaihang was listening with great interest, but no one spoke, so he hurriedly asked: "Mother, what happened later?"

Sun Shi drank a cup of tea and said it was heard by Madam Wu from the mouth of the steward woman's relative in the mansion.

The woman surnamed Zhu stayed in the Yuan family.

Madam Yuan was the big Madam Zhang, and Yuan Wenshao's wife was the small Madam Zhang.

Actually, the mother-in-law wants to put a concubine in the son's room, and the daughter-in-law has no right to speak.

But this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not an ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The mother of this small Madam Zhang is the sister of the big Madam Zhang, so it is not easy to tear their faces apart.

Therefore, when the small Madam Zhang made a scene, the big Madam Zhang let that Zhu Manniang sing plays. What plays did she sing?

There were: "Jade Hairpin (Daughter-in-law is unfilial)", "Searching for Son (Daughter-in-law is unfilial, persecuting mother-in-law)", "Three Mothers Teaching Son (Son sees through daughter-in-law's true face, angrily divorces wife)". These few plays.

It sang until the small Madam Zhang's face turned green.

Xu Zaijing hurriedly asked: "And then? Is there any follow-up?"

Sun Shi looked at her gossiping son and said with a smile: Your Aunt Wu said, the follow-up is a big joke!

Xie Shi was also like repeating a joke, knowing that the following was very funny, so she was eager to hear it again.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking like she was listening to big gossip.

Xu Zaijing was stunned. What? This is not a big joke? What else?

Sun Shi glanced at her daughter-in-law and asked: "Daughter-in-law, the following is told to you by the wife of the Earl of Lady Yongping, right?"

"Mother, yes, you say it."

"Good."

It is said: On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, a man pulled a group of people at the gate of the Yuan family, saying that his sister entered the Earl's Mansion to repay kindness, was left in the Yuan family, lost her innocence, and her life and death were unknown! Demanding the Yuan family to give an explanation.

This Madam Yuan, the big Madam Zhang, was also a confused person. At this time, she was still thinking about raising an opera singer in her home, only caring about her own comfort, and there was no sign of letting go at all.

And Earl Yuan went to the Ma Zheng Yamen to be busy with official business.

This small Madam Zhang was forced to have no choice but to serve soft to the big Madam Zhang, and then came up with an 'excellent, excellent' idea.

Xu Zaijing opened his clear eyes, looked at his mother,

Sun Shi looked at Xie Shi, at this time Xie Shi was also eager to hear the following things, even though she knew it.

Sun Shi continued: The small Madam Zhang instigated the big Madam Zhang to let her brother-in-law take this concubine, so that the big Madam Zhang could listen to plays, and the relatives would have no more grudges.

Both sides are good, isn't it beautiful?

The big Madam Zhang's eyes lit up, and she looked at the small Madam Zhang with appreciation. She hadn't thought of it just now.

But in the evening, Yuan Wenshao returned to the Yuan family. Upon hearing this, Yuan Wenshao was unwilling.

This matter was also denied by Earl Yuan: The second son is about to marry, and it is a legitimate daughter of a civil official family, how can he take an opera singer as a concubine?

At this time, the brother of the woman surnamed Zhu came to make trouble again, and was suppressed by the big Madam Zhang, and she made a guarantee to appease him.

That night

Sun Shi couldn't go on.

This, this chapter break, really!

Sun Shi looked at her children, they were not children anymore, they could definitely find out, and then said:

That night, Yuan Wenshao invited his brother to drink, and actually drugged his brother!

It was the aphrodisiac used for livestock!

This Yuan family was originally an official under the Ma Zheng Yamen, and Earl Yuan also knew some livestock pharmacology, so naturally there was some stock.

Later, he let the woman surnamed Zhu go to Yuan Wenshao's room.

The servants of the Yuan family said that the Miss Zhu... was... the sound in the second half of the night... no sound... and... almost died.

Xu Zaijing asked curiously: "Earl Yuan didn't hear it?"

Xie Shi said: "It is said that the second young master Yuan was not favored by his mother, the courtyard was in the corner, and Earl Yuan had always had a bad sleep, and had already taken the sedative decoction."

The next day, Yuan Wenshao looked ashen, his face was green, and he found Earl Yuan in a daze, and then Earl Yuan was directly angered and fell on the desk.

Fortunately, Earl Yuan worked a lot when he was young, and also experienced great changes, his mentality was not ordinary, and he also laid a good foundation in his body, otherwise he could be directly angered to death.

So there was the matter of asking for leave from the Censorate before the New Year.

The three Xu brothers looked horrified and looked at each other in silence.

No!

Your Yuan family has no money to buy one? What is the point of using livestock? To kill your own younger brother? Or do you want to cripple him?

They are biological brothers of the Yuan family, coming out of the same mother's belly, just messing around like this?

Xu Zaijing thought about Yuan Wenshao's actions in Yang Zhou in the future, maybe he really wanted to ruin his brother, so the family property would all be his own.

Xu Zaihang asked: "Mother, how do you know this?"

Sun Shi said: "Isn't it because Earl Yuan's official business in the Ma Zheng Yamen was affected. That powerful official cared about his subordinates and sent tonics to Earl Yuan. The person who sent the medicine had a crooked relative with the little maid in Yuan Wenshao's courtyard, and heard it. He told it as gossip to his own mistress. And the big and small Madam Zhang have always been harsh on the servants and maids in the mansion, but they are not strict in governing, so this kind of ugly thing spread out."

Xu Zaiduan said: "This Official Yuan is a capable official of the Ma Zheng Yamen, his mistress spreads his family's privacy like this, this... not good!"

【Checked a lot of information, the small Madam Zhang's mother and Yuan Wenshao are indeed sisters, the small Madam Zhang also has a sister named Zhang Xiumei. Hmm, many people surnamed Zhang】

【Re-created a new chapter and released this chapter, sure enough, the time display is normal.】

【Struggling to code words, this time it shouldn't be considered a broken chapter... right.】
