Chapter 363

Everyone knows that the Marquis of Dingyuan is greedy and lustful, and his temper is uncertain. In addition, he is not familiar with the Marquis of Dingyuan at all. How dare he knock on this door.

"No use!"

Wen jinniang complains and puts away the humble documents of Muli in her hand. Then she knocks on the door. When the servant sees that it's Wen jinniang, she just wants to say that the eldest lady is not in the house. As a result, Wen jinniang preempts her by saying, "I'm here to see madam Hou and the old lady. Please let me know."

The servant hesitated and went slowly to report it. After a quarter of an hour, he came back and opened the door to ask Wen jinniang and Ji Yong to go in.

This is Ji Yong's first time to enter Dingyuan Marquis's residence. Looking at the simple and gorgeous buildings around him, he has no loss of dignified construction style. He has to sigh in his heart when he will be able to get an official title and have such a residence.

Wen jinniang saw that his eyes were about to explode. She said in a low voice, "pay attention. This is Dingyuan Marquis's residence. Maybe Dingyuan Marquis came from somewhere. When she saw that you were going to swallow other people's residence, she was scared to death by you."

Two people went to the hall and sat down. Because Ji Yong was a man, he put a screen in the hall to block the view of the ladies in the mansion.

Ji Yong looked at the porcelains and jade in the hall and said to himself that Dingyuan Hou was a man who spent a lot of money to buy Huakui. His family was really rich.

Zhou was not well today. After hearing that Wen jinniang had something to do with her, she changed her clothes and came to the hall to sit. Seeing a man present, she didn't doubt much.

"I don't know what's the matter with the county magistrate's wife's sudden visit?"

Wen jinniang took her cup and sipped it gently. Then she said, "in fact, I suddenly visited today because I heard some rumors outside. I came here specially to listen to what Mrs. Hou said."

"Oh? What kind of gossip? " Zhou took a look at Wen jinniang and Ji Yong, thinking that it must be no good for Wen jinniang to visit suddenly.

Sure enough, Wen jinniang didn't give Zhou any chance to explain. She put forward something about Muli directly. "I learned from my husband's friends that the Marquis of Dingyuan had ransomed a Huakui from huamanlou a few years ago. But she hasn't seen anyone for so many years. I don't know where she went?"

Zhou's face changed again and again, and his voice took a trace of impatience. "The county magistrate's wife's words are wrong. The Marquis really redeemed a woman from the huamanlou, but that woman's voice is serious. She doesn't sell herself. Otherwise, how can I let her into our Marquis's house?"

"Madam Hou, since I have been sitting in the mansion to see you, I must have some evidence. You'd better tell me the truth. Who is this Muli and what has it done for you?"

Wen jinniang can see from the humble documents given to her by mother fan that this wooden pear was sold to huamanlou four years ago and became a humble person.

As for the reason of being sold, it turned out that because there were too many brothers and sisters in the family, they were sold by their parents themselves. They spent a lot of money to subsidize the family.

Let's not say whether this reason is reliable or not. In recent years, the weather has been good and the emperor has been diligent and loving the people. There has been no famine for more than ten years. How ever did anyone want to sell their daughter because they could not afford to eat?

With a bit of luck in his heart, Zhou covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "where does the county magistrate's wife say this? As long as you are a good wife, I will nod for the sake of my husband's family."

"Indeed, does Madame Hou know that this pear is still a humble one up to now?" Wen jinniang put down her tea cup, took out the humble documents hidden in her arms and unfolded them in front of Zhou.

When Zhou saw the word "Jian Ji" in the middle of the paper, he almost crushed the porcelain cup in his hand. "Where did this come from?"

"I have to ask the Marquis, since he is willing to spend 1000 taels of gold to buy the deed of selling himself to Muli, why don't he get this cheap document with more money? If people outside know it, the Marquis of Dingyuan will let a cheap woman into the ancestral hall. I don't know what the emperor will think."

The Marquis's house of Dingyuan has been a relative of the emperor for several generations, but later the blood relationship became weak, and because of the emperor's surname, many people have been offended in recent years. Now the emperor is gradually taking over their power.

If the emperor knows that Dingyuan Marquis's house has let a humble woman into the ancestral hall, it must be a good scolding. If it doesn't work well, there will be no turning over day for Dingyuan Marquis's house.

The smile on Zhou's face was a little stiff. "Why is it hard for the county magistrate's wife? We are all officials and women's dependents. We just want to talk about these things in private. Why do we have to be in front of outsiders?"

Ji Yong knows that he is an outsider in Zhou's mouth. He is embarrassed and ready to leave, but Wen jinniang presses him in the same place.

"Madam Hou, this is my husband's friend, and he will be the county magistrate of Qingshan County in the future. She is not an outsider. Let's say what madam Hou wants to say." Wen jinniang would bet that this pear is definitely related to the business contacts in Dingyuan Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be an aunt for so many years.

After several hesitations, Zhou sighed, "why is the county magistrate's wife so pressing?"

"It's about the reputation of Dingyuan Marquis's house. Even if the Marquis's house is defeated again, it's also the family of Lord Huang. How can it do such a shameful thing? If Mrs. Hou says it's with me, this humble document is yours. "

Wen jinniang folded the humble document in her hand and pressed it with a cup of tea. She looked like she was waiting to hear from Zhou.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou didn't dare to take out Mrs. Hou's airs to treat wenjinniang.

Now the whole capital knows that the magistrate of Qingshan county has a sacred heart. Every family's eyes are fixed on them. There is no way to explain what happened at this point.

"In fact, I haven't seen this Muli girl since she married in Hou's house, except for the first day of tea."

Wen jinniang is very curious. Zhou's father, Zhou Taiwei, had a quarrel with Aunt Li's family at the entrance of the mansion. The daughter-in-law who can be recognized by the Marquis must be knowledgeable and reasonable. If the rules and etiquette are not bad, how can a concubine's room not follow the principle of morning and evening?

"Isn't Mrs. Hou joking with me?"

"How can this be a joke? Since he married this girl Muli, he opened a small courtyard for her to live in. Later, he took her with him every time he went out of the city. He also told me that she would not have to worry about Muli's morning and evening. However, it's strange to say that I thought she would be flattered and arrogant, but after three years, I've seen her in a hurry."
