Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

After passing the sluice, all kinds of ships entered the waterway from Chuzhou to Yangzhou.

As the sun sets in the west, the surface of the lake shines like gold.

The waterways lead to several lakes, and the scenery is not all bald and yellow as it seemed before.

Count Zhongqin Yuan Bingkai was watching the scenery on the boat.

He looked at the flag of Earl Zhongqin Yuan above his head, sighed, and thought about how he would explain the matter to Sheng Hong when he really arrived in Yangzhou.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he saw a female servant walking in front of her with her head lowered.

Yuan Bingkai frowned, squinted his eyes, and then his eyes were shocked, and he even couldn't believe it, so he shouted: "That female envoy, stop."

As soon as he shouted, the female envoy walked faster, turned around and walked into the cabin.

"Here comes someone!" The servant in charge of the Earl's Mansion looked over immediately.

"Tell Madam to gather all the maids in the cabin."

Yuan Bingkai was sitting in the cabin, with Yuan Wenchun, the big and small Zhangs and the stewards of the mansion standing on both sides. The female envoys and servants brought from Bianjing were all standing in the middle of the cabin.

Yuan Bingkai glanced at one of the female envoys, waved his hand and said, "You all can go out."

The envoys walked out of the cabin again.

The steward of the mansion closed the door outside.

Inside the cabin

"Bang!" The table on the boat was smacked loudly, making Yuan Wenchun and Zhang Shi tremble.

Yuan Bingkai was so angry that his beard and hair stood out, and he angrily shouted: "What did you two, mother and son, eat? Did you let Shaoer's concubine pretend to be a female envoy and take her with you??!"

Yuan Wenchun said: "Father, my mother also brought her here to save money, so our family doesn't have to spend money to hire a troupe to sing in the opera. In Chuzhou, when my mother attended the opera, the troupe charged us half less!"

Seeing his eldest son unable to carry it clearly, Yuan Bingkai felt his head pounding suddenly, and then his vision went dark.

"Come here! Hurry! Come here!" Yuan Wenchun shouted.

Later in the evening, the Yuan family's ship removed the flag of 'Zhongqin Earl Yuan'. Yuan Wenchun strictly ordered the servants and stewards on the ship not to tell others that the ship belonged to the Yuan family, and then continued to sail towards Yangzhou.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to now, the news of the excitement in Bianjing has spread more and more.

Wang Yan's eldest wife was a side branch of the Feng family of Duke Cheng Guo. A few generations ago, there was a big commotion in Duke Cheng Guo's family. Mrs. Feng Guogong sent the second, third and second eldest wives of the Feng family to the Shenjie Department.

This offended two noble families in the capital, and was often criticized, but the Duke's wife just said: If you don't throw away the bad peach, the whole basket will be rotten!

Sure enough, a few years later, these two nobles were captured and imprisoned by the then emperor, and their titles and titles were confiscated.

The Feng family, on the other hand, was prosperous in both civil and military circles. They also had many marriages in Beijing and were very well-informed.

Mr. Wang, who was in his prime at that time and was not yet worthy of the Ancestral Temple, asked for his son to marry this legitimate daughter of a branch of the Chengguo family. After all, family tradition can be passed down.

She also hopes to have a daughter-in-law who is just like the Duke's wife back then. Especially knowing that her in-laws prayed to the Guanyin Goddess of Mercy for her daughter step by step, she is even more satisfied with this marriage.

The Feng family is also satisfied with this marriage.

However, after the wife's daughter's son-giving Guanyin was forcibly taken away from her, this satisfaction was compromised.

Jiangning Mansion is the administrative seat of Dazhou Jiangnan East Road, and there is direct access from Dibao.

It is even more natural for Di Bao to deliver letters to officials.

Naturally, Magistrate Feng of Jiangning Prefecture and all members of the Feng family knew about the excitement in Bianjing some time ago, and they knew more clearly. However, the Wang family did not ask, so it was difficult for them to expose this scandal.

Wang Yan's eldest wife, Mrs. Feng, sent someone to ask about this Jiangning prefect.

So what Feng knew was the latest lively version of the Yuan family around the Lantern Festival.

After Mrs. Feng knew what happened, she hurried back to her mother-in-law and came to Yangzhou.

Feng was a little disgusted with her eldest sister-in-law Wang Ruoyu, but she still felt good about her sister-in-law Wang Ruofu, especially the Sheng family's etiquette. Sheng Hong was even more respectful when he met Wang Yan. The most important thing was that Feng had met Sheng After Changbai, the eldest son of the family.

On Changbai's small face, he actually saw a trace of his former father-in-law's charm.

I also heard from Wang Ruofu that this little nephew studied hard and worked hard to make progress, so he had a high regard for the Sheng family.

After consulting her mother-in-law, Ms. Feng went directly to Yangzhou Sheng's house to talk about the matter face to face.

The thirtieth day of the first lunar month.

Yangzhou Tongpan Mansion,

At the main entrance, a carriage with the Wang family's brand name drove directly into the second gate. Wang frowned worriedly and was supported by Liu's mother to greet her natal sister-in-law.

Seeing Mrs. Feng getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Wang hurriedly came up and said, "Sister-in-law, you are here."

Because it was about Hualan, Mrs. Feng was invited to Shou'an Hall. Mrs. Wang nervously held Feng's arm along the way, her eyes full of worry about the final judgment of the Yuan family.

Entering the main hall of Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Feng saw Mrs. Sheng and hurriedly said hello: "I have met the old lady."

The old lady said with a smile and slight gratitude: "Excuse me, you have to come here in person."

"Everywhere the old lady is, they are all relatives, so there will be no trouble."

Everyone sat down and served tea.

Naturally, it was difficult to let this relative speak directly at first, so he had to drink some tea to moisten his throat.

Sheng Hong heard that Feng came personally because of this incident. He also hurried over from the office wearing a scarf. The scratches on his neck had just scabbed over and were not yet exposed.

Feng took a few sips of the tea soup, which was at just the right temperature, neither hot nor cold, to quench thirst and promote body fluids, and glanced appreciatively at Fang's mother who was busy.

"Old madam, the tea soup in your courtyard is really delicious and suitable."

At this time, a female envoy outside the door announced: "The Lord is here."

Sheng Hong entered the main hall of Shou'an Hall and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I've met my sister-in-law. Sorry, sister-in-law."

Feng said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is still so polite and considerate."

Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable being held back, and kept looking at Mrs. Sheng, hoping that the old lady would start talking.

It's a pity that the old lady has her pearls of wisdom in her hands, and she is not in any hurry. She slowly chats with Feng about all kinds of things.

Finally, Ms. Feng said: "Two days ago, I got a letter from my cousin-in-law delivered by the steward on a fast horse, and the matter of the Yuan family became more clear."

Wang held her handkerchief, looked at Feng and said, "Sister-in-law, please tell me."

Feng wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said:

"Around the Lantern Festival, the excitement of the Yuan family is well known in Bianjing, and some of the servants in charge took some of the gossip they heard and told it to the master's family."

"Sister-in-law, what kind of gossip is this?"

Feng said: "It's said that an idle man said that a servant from a wealthy family gave some of his brothers money to let him see the actress and lead her somewhere else randomly so that she wouldn't catch up."

Wang's eyes lit up and she said, "Then the Yuan family was framed? I'm just going to tell you. No wonder my sister didn't write a letter."
