"Yes, I put the fire in the haystack of the Fang family, and also asked the children from the Yamen School to stop the wedding sedan. I told them that there was candy. They went." The child who reported the crime still had a plan.
A reasonable sentence.
"What about the fire lit by the straw paper in the backyard? You didn't set it?" Zhang Xuan asked.
In the lobby, there was a strip-shaped table, and a group of people formed around it. It was very crowded. Except for Fang Wu and the boy who were not there, everyone else was there.
Even the children from the Yamen school who wanted sweets and the painter who had been entrusted by Fang Wu to deliver the message were also there.
"No. I just wanted to delay time and not hurt anyone, so I found a relatively humid haystack to light a fire. The morning glories planted there were not withered." The child said each sentence without any deliberate intention and at a slow pace.
Unhappily, he pointed at a child in the same school as he spoke: "By the way, that one was placed with me."
"I tell you, you will go to jail for lying." Zhang Xuan slapped his hand on the table and said, making everyone present stunned.
"Really not." The child shook his head and frowned, not seeing anything wrong.
Ji Xuan asked a few more questions, and after everyone had finished revealing their confessions, the children in the Yamen School arranged for the Yamen servants to send him back.
Only the Fang family members were left behind, but they were also sent to prison.
At this moment, I asked Matchmaker Wang alone.
"At first, did they talk about whether the person they were marrying was Fang Yue or Fang Wu? When did you first know that the Fang family was going to marry Yuan Wai Lang?"
In a signing room, Ji Xuan looked at the matchmaker Wang and asked.
There were only these two people in the signing room. Zhang Xuan, Bai Xi and the young man were sitting outside. I don't know why the young man came here at this time.
"Of course it's Girl Yue."
Matchmaker Wang said without hesitation, but hesitated when she opened her mouth again: "About half a month ago. I remember, it was the Fang family who came to the door and gave me a few taels of silver. He said he was talking about a wealthy family. Although
She is a concubine, but she still behaves in a decent manner.
"Is it okay to go to a concubine in the village?" Ji Xuan asked.
Fang Wu belongs to the last family. In Daman, only those who are entertainers, make a living in flesh and blood, or are slaves can be the last family. Most of these people live together.
With such a family background, one would either find someone to marry randomly in the village, or else one would be a concubine for a wealthy family.
It is extremely rare to marry well and become a decent woman, and such a family does not have enough money or food to teach the girls and boys in the family any skills to support themselves.
"It depends on the situation. It depends on what kind of family the other party is like. Of course the unfavored heirs won't be able to do it. Just carry it in a small sedan chair. As for the rest, it may not be possible. Among ten families, almost half of them can do it." Wang
The matchmaker said calmly.
The person in their family works as a sweeper for a family in Baihebi Gang, and is a slave, so she is also of the last generation. Otherwise, what does a marriage broker have to do with an artist or a prostitute?
Xuefu County is not that far from the capital, and there aren't many people who are famous in the past few days.
Therefore, for families who are not too wealthy and don't pay much attention to it, keeping concubines is considered a good thing, so some people do it.
After all, it’s a girl’s good day, which only comes once in a lifetime.
"Then what was this wife's reaction?"
Ji Xuan asked one after another. The matchmaker didn't understand the first sentence, so Ji Xuan explained more clearly: "What does the other family think?"
"I don't really care. I remember that that sinister man asked Fang Yatou about her character," the matchmaker said.
"I felt strange. After all, she is not a head wife. Is it more important to be modest and gentle, or to be arrogant and disciplined? But when the man asked, I said, she is the boss of the family, so her character can be imagined."
Matchmaker Wang was thinking, sentence by sentence, with some distant thoughts. At first glance, she was not prepared, but she had a good memory and was sincere.
"Do you still remember what he said? What were the original words?" Ji Xuan scratched her head and asked.
After a while, Matchmaker Wang said: "I remember... what kind of character is this girl? We, the master, don't like people who can make trouble. Last time, a woman told me that she didn't want to be wronged... Well, that seems to be the case.
Said." He said it intermittently, not like he was speaking in full.
But just like this, Ji Xuan felt that it was normal. Things must have been strange after a long time.
Ji Xuan asked strangely: "There is a mother-in-law? They also found another introducer?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask this." Matchmaker Wang shook her head.
Ji Xuan was about to ask the Yamen servant to send her away, but she sat down again and said, "Do the two sisters have a good relationship on weekdays?"
"It's not good. Girl Wu doesn't like to talk, and she's not good with this sister or brother. Most of them just follow along. If it's too much, Girl Wu will hide." Matchmaker Wang thought for a while, this time with certainty.
smell.
Ji Xuan asked a few more questions before sending the person away.
When he returned to the hall, he saw three people sitting quietly in the room, and he also sat there.
"What's going on?" Ji Xuan was not sure and asked Zhang Xuan in a low voice.
"It's always been like this, neither of these two are talking." Zhang Xuan said impatiently, he couldn't sit still for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Ji Xuan asked after coughing.
"No. I just want to join in the fun. Master Ji, just let's go." The young man said and patted Bai Xi on the shoulder.
Bai Xi responded and followed him out.
"What's going on?" Ji Xuan was stunned. He just left without saying anything? How could he be like this?
"I don't know. But I did find out some information. This person is from the Si Zi generation." Zhang Xuan sighed.
He spoke carefully and looked around, fearing that there was a third person in the room.
Si Zi'er is the current emperor's prince and has the right to seize the direct descendants. Yes, young Tan Sihan, although he is Si Zi'er, does not have the right to seize the direct descendants.
"Are you sure about this?" Ji Xuan bit her lip, feeling a little frightened.
However, I don’t think I should treat him any differently. I just do my job well and do what he should do.
"Sure." Zhang Xuan had to go through a lot of trouble to find out this point, so there was no way he could make a mistake.
"Then be careful. The Fang family's matter is considered an attempt. If the explanation is clear and the few people are not lying, we can only fine them some money and let them go." Ji Xuan sighed and gave Zhang Xuan a word.
"Yeah, I know." Zhang Xuan said, picking up the confessions written by those people. Some of these confessions were written by government servants, and some were written by himself.
Daman's economic conditions are good. There are many people who can read, so the government officials don't write much.
The two of them read chapter by chapter until they were interrupted again in the early morning.
It turned out that a government official came over and asked the two of them to go to the dormitory at the back, saying that Fang Wu had woken up. It just so happened that they also had some details that they needed to check with Fang Wu...
