Hearing Wen jinniang's question, the old man stretched out her hand to smooth her beard and laughed: "there are so many things dingyuanhou likes most. There are so many women, jade and flowers. How can I know what's in the house?"
"Does that old gentleman know Aunt Li?" Wen jinniang thinks Liang Yun won't cheat herself. Since he sends a letter to himself, it must be the old man who knows something, but deliberately doesn't tell her.
The old man nodded, "this figure is clear to the whole capital as long as the older generation. In those days, the old Marquis Dingyuan was still alive. Now, in order to be the son of the world, the Marquis Dingyuan married his daughter-in-law to be his wife. On the wedding day, the people of the Li family came to the door and said that their daughter was the right daughter-in-law of the Marquis Dingyuan, She even took Aunt Li, who was still in a big belly, and her three - or four-year-old son to the gate of Dingyuan Marquis's house. The sedan chair fell to the ground, and the neighbors saw the joke of Dingyuan Marquis's house. "
"At that time, I went to Dingyuan Marquis's residence to express my congratulations. As soon as I got there, I saw that the whole family of Zhou Taiwei had arrived at the gate of the residence, and the bride refused to come out in the sedan chair. But I have to say that Aunt Li is very good-looking. Even I can't help but want to see more. Unfortunately, in the eyes of marquis Dingyuan, they are all sons of the world. After a quarrel between the two families, marquis Dingyuan stands up and doesn't admit that the two sons and daughters belong to him or that Aunt Li has something to do with himself. " The old man sighed and shook his head. It seemed that he hated Ding Yuan Hou.
Wen jinniang didn't expect that Dingyuan Hou didn't even want his wife and children.
But when you think about it, isn't Zhou Taiwei's daughter the Zhou family, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan? A few days ago, she seemed to be no different from other daughters to Shen Wenwen. Could it be said that the Prime Minister of Zhou could hold a boat in his stomach, regardless of the past?
"But isn't Aunt Li married later?" Wen jinniang thinks that without the entrance to the main room, there will be children in the outer room. It's no wonder that Dingyuan Marquis's house has been defeated these years.
To be the son of such a coquettish person, even if there is gold and silver in the family, it will be gone.
"No, no..." the old man walked slowly to his room. "Aunt Li came in, just because she had a crush on the gold and silver jewelry of the Li family. The news of her marriage spread to the emperor. The emperor was very angry. Just in time for the lack of military pay in the army, marquis Dingyuan married Aunt Li and put her in the old house of Jiangzhou in order to win the emperor's heart, He handed over all the things of the Li family to the army, leaving a good reputation for the Dingyuan Marquis's house. "
"So now the Marquis mansion of Dingyuan..."
"The original Dingyuan Marquis's house was under the emperor's eyes. Later, it was defeated. It was moved to the Li family's son's house and found a charge. It was slaughtered by the Li family and all the things left were owned by Dingyuan Marquis's house. Many literati despised it at that time. Even some people in Chunwei made an article about it, but without exception, they were all defeated."
Wen jinniang nodded. She understood the grudge between the two families, but she felt pity for those unfortunate students.
"Old man, my husband told me that you would know about porcelain." Wen jinniang saw that he did not say anything about porcelain, and sold Liang Yun in a low voice.
Sure enough, the old man was stunned when he heard this sentence, and then sighed, "the most regretful thing I've ever done in my life is to accept Liang Yun as an apprentice... Indeed, I know about the porcelain, because the Li family is said to be talking business with the people in southern Xinjiang, and later I'm afraid I'll give up halfway, I don't know where the Marquis of Dingyuan heard that Aunt Li's dowry contained five porcelains from southern Xinjiang or something. After years of persecution, he even came to me to ask about the Li family. "
"Ask you?"
"Because I'm a distant relative of the Li family. Like Li Cheng'an, I left the Li family, but it doesn't matter more than five clothes."
Li Chengan?
Wen jinniang felt as if she had heard the name somewhere. "Is Li Chengan a student of Guozijian?"
"Have you ever heard of it? In the early years, he made a start a few years ago and gave him a small official of nine grades. This year, he has made a progress and said that he will be given a chance to become a county magistrate. "
Hearing these words, Wen jinniang finally remembered where she had seen the name. It was in the list of newcomers given by the ninth Lord to Liang Yun that she asked them to choose three subordinates.
"Is there anything special about these five porcelains?"
"I don't know, but it seems that the Marquis of Dingyuan has been looking for the five porcelains for so many years. It's said that Aunt Li gave them to her daughter when she wanted the Marquis's house of Dingyuan to find a good marriage for her daughter a few years ago, but they were fake, so this happened to you."
Wen jinniang nodded. No wonder the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Marquis's house can't be a concubine even if she is a concubine.
What's more, I was a concubine to a county magistrate.
So it seems that Wen jinniang still needs to ask Shen Wenwen about the porcelain. But now Shen Wenwen and Li Chengan don't know where they have gone. She has to read books these days?
"By the way, when Liang Yun comes back, let him come to see me. I have something to say to him. Go back and have a rest. Tomorrow I'll let Ji Yong send you back. At midnight, you stay in my library. Even if I'm an old man, I can't explain it clearly."
Wen jinniang nodded, but she couldn't sleep all night when she came back to the room.
Always feel that they seem to be wrong what important place, but for a time did not remember.
Knowing that she woke up the next day and was on her way back with Ji Yong, Wen jinniang saw a woman with a big stomach passing by. She suddenly remembered that Aunt Li said she was pregnant and died.
If the old man's words are true, then Dingyuan Hou must be tired of this woman. She hasn't been to Jiangzhou for so many years. Whose child is Aunt Li pregnant with.
"Ji Yong, do you know the secret of Dingyuan Marquis's residence?" Wen jinniang asked Ji Yong this time.
"What do you want to hear about Dingyuan Marquis's residence? My family is in the capital. I know all about that childe's affairs, including that childe Shen..."
Wenjinniang quickly stopped Jiyong said those irrelevant topics, "I ask you, how many days will you go to Jiangzhou?"
"To Jiangzhou? Every time that Marquis Dingyuan went to Jiangzhou, he said he was going. In fact, he lived in Hualou in the capital for a few days. "
