What kind of character is Zeng Yu? Are they the kind of people who sell their daughters for glory?
When Shi Zhengxue asked a matchmaker to ask him to marry him, Zeng Yu not only kicked the matchmaker out of the house, but also went to the Ministry of Finance and scolded Shi Zhengxue bloody in public.
Afterwards, Zeng Yu immediately resigned and married Zeng Xuezhi to Shezhou as quickly as possible.
Sima and Lin Xianjun of Shezhou are the eldest sons of poetry friend Zeng Yu. Zeng Yu had seen each other, so he took Zeng Xuezhi directly to Shezhou and proposed marriage to his poetry friend.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
Lin Xianjun and Zeng Xuezhi are also in love and love each other.
When Yao Cong told Di Ying these things, he felt very sorry for Zeng Xuezhi.
He praised Zeng Xuezhi for her beauty, kindness, gentleness and virtuousness, and that she didn't have to work so hard to marry far away.
Because no matter what, girls who marry far away will be more or less unhappy.
Not to mention anything else, if you are wronged, there is really no place to cry.
But no matter how Yao Cong tried to persuade Zeng Yu, the other party didn't listen.
Later, Zeng Yu did regret it a little.
Because Zeng Xuezhi never gave birth to a child, Zeng Yu felt ashamed of his old friend.
When Yao Cong mentioned Zeng Yu's guilt, he turned his head to the sky.
After that, Yao Cong also and Zeng Yu fell out of love inexplicably.
Until Yao Cong left Dadu City, Zeng Yu didn't come out to see him off, and he didn't even send anyone to send him a simple farewell gift.
Yao Cong himself is free and easy to see. He and Zeng Yu had been friends for many years, and they had a relatively casual temperament.
As time goes by, experience increases, officialdom lashes out, etc., it is inevitable that some differences of opinion will arise.
It is reasonable to drift away.
In October last year, Zeng Yu, who had resigned, disappeared with his whole family in the capital city. It is said that he has moved back to his hometown.
Di Ying remembered these things Yao Cong mentioned, so when he learned that the young woman who wanted to adopt Er Niu was named Zeng and was Mrs. Lin, he had already guessed the general clues.
But we can guess who Mrs. Lin is, and the rest is unknown.
That's why he didn't answer Nie Bo's words.
But Di Ying actually had some doubts in her heart.
Zeng Xuezhi is clearly in love with her husband, so why is her eyebrows so sad? Liver Qi stagnation? Could it be that the rumors are misleading? Is he really not living a good life?
Otherwise, for such a big thing as adopting a child, only one of them would come forward? Why is her husband missing?
But after all, those matters only belong to other people's family affairs. In addition, Mrs. Lin is a woman, so it is not convenient for Di Ying to interfere.
After taking a bath and changing into clothes, Di Ying examined Erniu again. After confirming that he was fine, he left a prescription for later care and fifty taels of silver to donate to the "Salesian Division". left.
The guards also secretly left some money, and Director Min discovered it later.
Neither she nor Zeng Xuezhi noticed: the signature at the bottom of the prescription was Di Huaijie.
Of course, you can't blame them.
In fact, in order to prevent Di Ying from leaking his whereabouts, he often left prescriptions and made his name difficult to read.
Zeng Xuezhi put away the prescription, waited until Er Niu woke up, fed him a bowl of porridge, then said goodbye and went back to his Lin Mansion.
In the past, she always felt that the mansion was small. When she and her husband walked around the mansion every night, they walked around it in a short time.
Now, it feels very big, so big that it seems like I can’t reach the end no matter how far I go.
Very empty too. Compared with the crowded and bustling place in the past, now it is so empty that people feel anxious and uncomfortable.
But someone came to help her fill the emptiness in the house.
Before reaching the main house, Zeng Xuezhi saw: outside the courtyard of the main house, there were a lot of things piled up.
Twenty pots of novel and beautiful flowers of different styles; twenty sets of hair and makeup accessories, twenty boxes of precious medicinal materials, twenty pieces of fine brocade silk, silk satin, a plate of jade ornaments, a plate of gold ornaments, a pile of Antique ornaments.
Everything is valuable.
Zeng Xuezhi glanced at it, then frowned slightly and asked the old housekeeper: "Did the Governor send it to you again?"
The old housekeeper also had a frown on his face and nodded in response: "The old slave refused to accept it, but the soldiers carried these and forced them into the palace gate and put them here. Madam, it's not a problem if this goes on. If rumors spread outside Come, it will be a big hindrance to your reputation."
Zeng Xuezhi took another look at those things, thought about it and said, "Let's do this, you arrange for people to take all these things to a pawn shop and exchange them for silver.
Then use the money to buy some bedding, clothing, the Four Treasures of the Study, ordinary cloth, etc., and send them to the Salesian Office with great fanfare.
Remember to buy some more food and send it away too. It was said that the governor cared about the Salesians and specially donated it. "
When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately responded with joy.
A faint smile appeared on Zeng Xuezhi's elegant face.
After the old housekeeper went to make arrangements, Zeng Xuezhi turned around and went to another courtyard.
In fact, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.
The governor, Huang Ronggui, often sent various gifts to the Lin Mansion after Lin Xianjun disappeared, and he always wanted to treat Zeng Xuezhi to tea, dinner, or a boat ride.
What it says is: If a subordinate is missing, his family should be taken care of by the government.
He also said: He was afraid that Zeng Xuezhi would be depressed alone in the house, so he advised him to go out more often to avoid harming his body.
In short: no matter how you look at it, there seems to be no problem.
But Zeng Xuezhi knew in his heart: Huang Ronggui had no good intentions.
She also tried to refuse openly, even letting go of her shame and strongly expressing her resistance. But the other party still refused to give up.
Zeng Xuezhi was really bothered by him and couldn't bear to be disturbed. He can only buy more skilled servants and follow him wherever he goes.
I wanted to adopt a child just to avoid Huang Ronggui's "diligence".
But this is not a long-term solution after all. If Huang Ronggui insists on doing something random, Zeng Xuezhi doesn't know how he can avoid it.
Fortunately, he is still there.
In that courtyard, Dai Zhongming, a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was wielding a nine-ring sword with great skill.
He is a man of rivers and lakes.
During the Chinese New Year, Zeng Xuezhi went to the temple to offer incense and encountered bandits. Fortunately, he was rescued by Dai Zhongming.
Zeng Xuezhi saw that he was walking around alone and heard that he had no way to stay, so he invited him to live in Lin Mansion to protect him.
Sons and daughters of the world are informal.
When Dai Zhongming learned that Zeng Xuezhi's husband was missing and that he was being targeted by the governor, he slapped his thigh and moved into the Lin Mansion with a nine-ring sword.
Huang Ronggui came to Yinye twice, but was scared away by Dai Zhongming.
Zeng Xuezhi went out today and only brought an ordinary nurse with him. Dai Zhongming did not follow him.
"Madam, will you gain anything from going to the Salesian Division today?"
