Your Excellency really wants the Imperial Songhua Stone Dragon Horse Inkstone made by the Zheng Mansion
Early the next morning, Liu Meizhuang was awakened by the loud music of gongs and drums. When she opened the window, she saw that it was the funeral of Zheng Mansion. In the middle, a square and fine nanmu coffin was carried by sixteen people.
It was covered with white funeral flowers, and everyone was given a white belt around their waist. In front of them were several female relatives wearing linen and mourning, all of whom were still charming, but the person standing in front turned out to be someone who had walked out of the Jiangnan Gongyuan a few days ago.
Mr. Zheng. As for the man and woman on the left and right, they are all consistent with his age.
In just a few days, Mr. Zheng's face became a bit haggard, which was completely different from the high-spirited way he had ridiculed her and Mr. Gu in the Jiangnan Gongyuan. Mr. Zheng held the spiritual tablet in his hand, and Liu Meizhuang knew at a glance that something was wrong.
What's the matter? It turns out that something happened to Mr. Zheng. No wonder Mr. Zheng would rather give up his qualifications for the imperial examination and leave the Jiangnan Gongyuan. Unexpectedly, he was still a filial son. At first, she and Mr. Gu thought something was wrong, but now it seems that he is still a filial son.
Something really happened.
"Miss, why did you get up so early today?"
Xiaofu walked in with wash water and saw Liu Meizhuang standing in front of the window wearing only a medium-length coat. The young lady was really bold. What would happen if a man saw her like this? Then she hurriedly closed the door and window, and Xiaofu immediately said
.
"The young lady is a girl in a boudoir after all. How can she stand in front of the window like this? It would be a big loss if others looked at her."
Liu Meizhuang turned back her eyes, what happened in Zheng Mansion? Third Young Master Gu told her that this Young Master Zheng’s real name is Zheng Yu. If she is right, she should have met Mr. Zheng once. It was before Third Young Master Gu
When he asked her to disguise herself as a man and go to Sui'an Building to discuss business, Mr. Zheng was glowing and energetic at that time, but now it was only a short time, but only two months later, something like this happened. Among them
, there must be something fishy. Just like how Zheng Yu was able to receive news from his family in the Jiangnan Gongyuan.
Since ancient times, the examination room has been very strict. Even candidates are not allowed to bring in pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and even all their clothes have to be changed. This is evident in the severity. Not to mention, they can still communicate with outsiders, so
Is it someone's intention to leave Jiangnan Gongyuan? And Mr. Qiao is the most unlikely person. He cherishes talents and will never let candidates leave without any reason. And the most suspicious person is only
Examiners, but these examiners are all from the Sixth Department of the Kyoto Imperial Court, which can rule out some possibilities, but it does not mean that it is impossible. Maybe, this matter will have something to do with Feng Wenhai.
Bending down to wash his face with water, Xiaofu handed him a wet handkerchief. There was also a tea set ready for mouthwash on the table.
"Xiaofu, have you heard about the Zheng Mansion?"
Xiaofu has been staying outside these days, so he naturally knows the affairs of some wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. Hearing Liu Meizhuang's question, he immediately smiled.
"Xiao Fu has heard a little bit about this matter. It is said that Mr. Zheng died suddenly overnight. As for the specific incident, I don't know." After all, she only heard it through hearsay.
Butler Li ran upstairs in a panic, took a look at Liu Meizhuang who had been freshened up, and walked in immediately.
"What's wrong with Butler Li? You're so panicked." Xiaofu couldn't help laughing when he saw Butler Li's appearance. The young lady always said that she didn't know how to respect the elderly, but now she respects the elderly.
This was the first time that Liu Meizhuang had seen Butler Li panic like this. It seemed that this matter must have a big background. It could make Butler Li, who had experienced many storms at his age, panic a little after hearing this. In this world,
But it's rare. Maybe it's really a big deal.
"What happened?"
"Miss, Mr. Hu just sent someone here with a message asking me to tell the eldest lady that Feng Wenhai really wants the imperial Songhua Stone Dragon Horse Inkstone from the Zheng Mansion."
Butler Li has seen the world, and of course he knows the hidden meaning of this sentence. He wants the eldest lady to go to the Zheng Mansion and buy this antique inkstone. Today is the day of the funeral in the Zheng Mansion, so Mr. Hu immediately spoke,
This is too inappropriate. Moreover, this inkstone is extremely valuable. How can it be so easy to obtain. Take the current Liu Mansion as an example. The price to buy an inkstone is comparable to the entire Liu Mansion.
"I'm afraid the eldest lady doesn't know. I've heard the master mention this imperial Songhua Stone Dragon Horse Inkstone before, saying it is an antique passed down from generation to generation in the Zheng Mansion. Master Zheng even regards this inkstone as being similar to the Zheng Mansion."
It's generally heavy. If the eldest lady wants to get it, I'm afraid she has little hope."
While talking about Butler Li, he also did not forget to complain about Feng Wenhai and Master Hu, a pair of masters and servants with evil intentions, who always caused problems for the eldest lady.
Liu Meizhuang frowned, could it be too much of a coincidence? Mr. Zheng had just died, and Feng Wenhai, as the parent official of Jiangnan, the first thing he wanted to do was to get the family heirlooms of the Zheng Mansion.
Zheng Yu suddenly left Jiangnan Gongyuan and Master Zheng died suddenly. These things made her think of Feng Wenhai. Could it be that Lord Feng had been targeting the family heirlooms of the Zheng family from the beginning? But
, does he really just like this Songhua Stone Dragon Horse Inkstone? So what is the use of Mr. Feng asking for an antique?
Zheng Yu is now suffering from the loss of his father, and today is the day of Master Zheng's funeral. It would be absolutely inappropriate for her to ask for this thing at this time. The current Zheng Mansion must also be affected by Master Zheng's sudden death.
And it became a mess, just like the Liu Mansion after the parents were arrested.
"Miss, in my opinion, Master Zheng's death has nothing to do with Feng Wenhai." Butler Li said firmly, otherwise why would Feng Wenhai be interested in the heirlooms of the Zheng family as soon as Master Zheng died.
Can she get rid of the relationship? However, she always thinks that Feng Wenhai does not seem to be a person who likes to collect antiques, because Feng Wenhai seems to need money more than antiques. So, what is the function of this inkstone? Feng Wenhai
Why get this thing?
"Miss, what do you think about this matter?" Butler Li was a little anxious and couldn't make up his mind at all.
"Butler Li, why should we be anxious? Let's just wait."
Anyway, this matter cannot be rushed. Master Hu came here today just to deliver a verbal message. At least, she had to wait until the funeral in Zheng Mansion was over. Moreover, Mr. Zheng did not seem to be a tough-minded man.
Maybe, given Mr. Zheng’s temperament, he will offer this family heirloom to himself. If an antique can save the huge Zheng Mansion, why not? Presumably, Mr. Zheng will not watch it.
