Chapter 68: Pleading guilty
Kim Yuan Wai Lang scolded: "Stop talking nonsense! If you had half the knowledge she has, I would thank God!"
Since I haven’t revealed a single word to the outside world, and the official media has gone through some things, they know the seriousness of it, and they don’t dare to say nonsense, then how come this word is still spread?
He hurriedly came to his son's room to inquire about the situation that day, and then said: "This matter is of great importance, you must tell me every word."
Jin Er was spoiled by his grandparents when he was in his hometown. He was uneducated and incompetent. Taking advantage of his father's position as a Beijing official, he used to bully men and dominate women in the countryside.
When I first entered the city, I was stared at by my father, but I restrained myself. I also knew that my father's official position was not important in the capital, so I only went to look for some village girls outside the city, and some of them caused trouble. Fortunately, Mrs. Jin was afraid that her husband would break her.
Son, they all secretly gave some money and sent it over.
That day at a tea shop outside the city, I met the master and servant riding horses.
Because we know that in the capital, real ladies rarely go out. Even when they go out, they always ride in cars and are served by many servants.
So he just thought she was a girl from a small family. Look at the girl dressed in red, fair and charming, with cold eyes. She was incomparable to those girls from small families who blushed before saying anything.
I was itching, so I stepped forward to tease her.
Unexpectedly, the beauty had a bad temper, so she took the bowl and threw it over. Her eyes were angrily raised, and it was full of game, and it became more and more delicious.
He was really tempted, so he thought about snatching it back first, and cooking the rice before it was raw. If it really suited his heart, he could ask his mother to hire her as his wife.
Unexpectedly, the beauty was not very old and was still a practitioner. After fighting with everyone, they finally let them escape. She was knocked down to the ground and couldn't move. She felt fierce in her heart and got angry. She had to let her servants take care of her.
If she catches such a person who doesn't know how to appreciate someone, she must be given a good beating.
Later, she fled to Shen's Mansion, and he found out that there was an unmarried Miss Shen in Shen's Mansion. He thought it must be her, so he cried in front of his mother, saying that they were already physically related, and went to propose marriage.
, it must be possible.
Any dandy who is not doing his job is inevitably stupid, but he is also somewhat clever.
Seeing his father's seriousness, he made a choice and said it. He just said that her clothes were not outstanding that day, so he thought she was a young girl, so he went up to chat with her. Unexpectedly, the girl came up and beat him. He refused to accept it.
, sent people to pursue her all the way. It was not until they saw her entering the Shen Mansion from a distance, and saw that the housekeeper in the mansion was treating her respectfully, that she knew she was the lady of the mansion, so he gave up and asked his mother to come to propose marriage.
After listening to his son's narration, Mr. Jin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
No matter. It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided.
He warned his wife and children sternly, and then he felt relieved and came to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to see Lord Shen, shouldering a thorn and pleading guilty.
Those involved are often the last to know about rumors that are made out of nothing.
And although it has spread outside, it is only on a small scale and has not yet reached the upper levels.
Therefore, the people in the Shen Mansion did not even smell the wind.
Father Shen happened to be at home with nothing to do today, so he saw Jin Yuanwailang asking for an audience. Although he was a little puzzled, he happily met him in the study outside.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin knelt down to plead guilty as soon as he entered the door, which really surprised Father Shen.
However, after listening to Jin Yuanwailang's vague talk about the rumors outside, Father Shen couldn't help but turned pale with anger and said angrily: "What the hell is going on? How could such rumors come out?"
Although Father Shen was a Confucian general, he was also majestic, ruthless and powerful when he was really angry.
When Jin Yuanwailang saw this scene, he was so frightened that he had no idea. He did not dare to have any wishful thinking, thinking that the Shen family would settle down and marry their daughter to his family.
He just stammered and explained repeatedly: The people in my family are very strict with their mouths, and they will never leak any information about this matter.
Father Shen walked back and forth in the study twice and asked, "Why did your family think of coming to propose marriage?"
I went to inquire about it that day, and they only said that his family background was shallow, his wife could not get into the spotlight, and the young master was also incompetent. He spent all his time fighting horses and fighting dogs. He slept in flowers and willows at a young age and used his power to bully others.
As for why he came to propose marriage, he didn't know. Since his mother-in-law was a very stupid person, it was not too surprising that he wanted to propose marriage. Since he had already refused, he didn't go into detail.
Jin Yuanwailang was asked, but he didn't dare not to say anything, so he could only say half-confidently: "A few days ago, Quanzi accidentally met the young lady outside the city, and he admired her. When he heard that she was the young lady in the house, he was so bold that he encouraged her Her mother came to propose marriage without telling the official! When the official found out about this, he gave her mother and son a severe lesson, and strictly ordered the family not to say a word about it again."
Father Shen looked at Jin Yuanwailang with sharp eyes and sneered: "Don't alienate yourself yet! It is said that there is no smoke without fire. With your wife's virtue, are you really not talking nonsense outside? If I find out, huh?" !”
Jin Yuanwailang blushed. Although he was not completely sure that his wife had not told her, he could only bite him to death and said hesitantly: He learned that his son was disrespectful to the lady, so he gave him a good beating. , because he was too seriously injured, his mother stayed with him day and night and had no time to go out and chat.
After hearing this, Father Shen also thought to himself. Although his daughter has gone out a few times recently, she was always accompanied by her son, so there is no chance of anyone looking at her face and getting entangled.
Just now, he thought that some girl in a desperate situation had resorted to the golden cicada's method of escaping her shell and used the name of the Shen family to get rid of entanglements. This led to the misunderstanding of the second son of the Jin family and someone came to propose marriage.
But in the blink of an eye, I realized something was wrong.
Whenever something like this happened, the woman would not be able to hide, and the reputation of the Shen family would be ruined, so naturally she would not dare to say a word.
Since the Jin family didn't have the guts to tell the public, the official media must have known the seriousness and would not have spread the word casually. Moreover, she only knew that the Jin family came to propose marriage, but she didn't know that the second son of the Jin family was trying to steal her.
So who is involved in this, and what is their purpose?
He asked himself whether he was acting upright. He seemed to be in a high and powerful position, but in fact he was just a sinecure. He was a sensible person and would not offend others easily. Besides, he had not even had a quarrel with someone recently.
The son is just a minor guard in the palace, and he can only offend a limited number of people.
My wife and daughter are in the inner house and have rarely interacted with other people recently. Why would someone target my daughter?
When Jin Yuanwailang saw the furrowed brows in Shenhou Mansion, he started to beat a small drum in his heart, and secretly scolded his wife and children, and then said: "Maybe it was the matchmaker who said something nonsense, and someone spread the rumors. , changed its appearance.”
At this time, Xue Liu had already learned from the rude mother-in-law that a foreign minister from the Jin Dynasty had come to the front yard, so she walked up to Shen Qiujun and muttered: "They don't take a pee and take care of themselves before going out, so they don't deserve to beg for help." Marry young lady! Still don’t want to give up!”
Xuexiang said: "Maybe he has official business to attend to. He has already refused. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court. Even if he really wants to ask for it, he has to let the women of the family speak for him! Could it be that he is apologizing for his wife's reckless behavior? "
Shen Qiujun was also thinking secretly in his mind.
My father was in charge of military affairs, and he probably had no official dealings with Jin Wai Yuan Lang. Even if there was official business, he would not come to the house.
As for the marriage proposal, it doesn't seem to be the same. The two families are on the wrong side. I rejected his family's marriage proposal, so there is no need to go out of my way to apologize.
Shen Qiujun thought for a while, and then took the people to go to his mother's room to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he was stopped halfway, saying that his wife was busy with something, and asked her to help copy a scripture and hurry up. For use.
Shen Qiujun had no choice but to turn around and go to the small study room to copy books.
Xuexiang, who was waiting on the side, also felt that something was a little weird and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Shen Qiujun smiled and advised: "Don't think blindly now. When Aunt Chu comes back, you will know what happened. Thinking about it now is in vain!"
Shen Qiujun calmly copied two pages, and then Aunt Chu came back.
Aunt Chu said: "Madam has invited the matchmaker from last time to question her!"
Shen Qiujun had doubts on his face and asked someone to inquire quietly.
The matchmaker was swearing in front of Mrs. Shen: "This marriage is obviously not the right one. I thought it was lard that fooled me, so I came to ask for it! When I woke up later, I regretted it very much. It was just for my own reputation." I don’t dare to say even a single word.”
Mrs. Shen saw that what she said made sense, but after all, it was related to her daughter's reputation, so she still had a look of distrust on her face.
The man rolled his eyes and then said: "Mrs. Jin is an ignorant person. Could it be that because she couldn't get married, she made such a fuss about it without knowing the seriousness of it? That it was treated as a new thing and spread around with embarrassment. !”
Mrs. Shen saw that both of them were insisting on different opinions and passing the blame on each other, and she had no idea for a while.
At this time, finding out who made the nonsense is far less important than trying to restore my daughter's reputation.
It's true that they are talking nonsense, even if they are beaten to death, it will not help. It's not time to settle accounts yet.
But such invisible things are always getting darker and darker. In the eyes of interested people, there is always a suspicion that they are trying to cover up, but if you don't pay attention to it, you don't know what it will look like.
Even if it ends here, it will be a stain on your character from now on.
The only way is to find that girl!
But trying to find that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, with no clue.
Shen Qiujun was sitting in the study making random guesses. But she didn't even get to the bottom of the matter, and it was useless to think about it. She thought about it carefully, then got up and went to find her mother.
Shen Qiujun insisted on seeing his mother, but the servants did not dare to stop him, so they had to come and report to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen was originally worried that this incident would cast a shadow on her daughter, so she did not intend to tell her. She was also afraid that her daughter would be too worried, so she had to call her in, prepare to deal with it briefly, and then send her back.
Chapter completed!
