Chapter 23 The Fall of the General's Mansion 1
The excited Tang Doudou, under the leadership of the housekeeper Jin Laimi, and the four of them quickly found the largest pawnshop in the capital, "Xu Ji Pawnshop". According to Jin Laimi's introduction on the road, this pawnshop seemed to be a certain pawnshop.
It belongs to a prince of the opposite sex, with a lot of power behind it, but it has a good reputation and the prices are very fair and reasonable. As a result, it has gradually developed into the largest and most authoritative pawn shop. No matter rich or poor, everyone is willing to come here to pawn.
After entering the shop, a clever waiter greeted the group and sat down on a chair nearby. After getting into the water, he asked, "Do you want to live or die?" Jin Laimi said that he wanted to die at Tang Doudou's signal.
When the waiter led the group to the second floor, it turned out that the first floor was where he handled live pawns, which could be redeemed in the future, while the second floor was where he handled dead pawns. They paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
There is a connection.
On the second floor, another clerk took charge. After asking Tang Doudou and his party to sit down, he went to call the person in charge of the pawn behind who was doing the accounting. The person who came was about fifty years old. He introduced himself as Xu.
The relative of the boss here is very well-dressed and has fair skin. Especially his hands, which are not as well-kept as the hands of a man in his fifties, but rather like the hands of a teenage girl.
As soon as she heard that the other party wanted to see the goods for evaluation, the excited Tang Doudou immediately took the clothes and jewelry that Tang Yanxi had given her when she entered the palace, a few hairpins that she had kept in her previous life, and the valuables that Tang Yanxi had given her when they got married.
All the clothes and boots were taken out, and Boss Xu was stunned for a moment, not because he had never seen any good things like these, but because he saw that this little girl was interesting. She was obviously stupid, but she was so surprised.
The more you look at it, the more you like it.
Finally, there was the complicated inspection procedure. After waiting for a long time, I reached an agreement with Boss Xu. The things he saw were all for sure, so I set a price of 8,000 taels. When I asked, Tang Doudou and Jin Laimin were stunned.
No one has any objections. These things are only worth about ten thousand taels, and people always have to make some money.
After the two parties negotiated, they pawned eight thousand taels of silver notes. Jin Laimi took the bank notes and handed them to Tang Doudou. Finally, he said goodbye to Boss Xu and left under the enthusiastic escort of the waiter.
Even the brave Tang Doudou did not dare to take out the pieces of jewelry stolen from the palace. Taking the banknotes, he happily customized the daily necessities needed in the palace. Although the palace rewarded some screens, vases and the like,
But there are many things missing in the house.
So the four of them traveled almost half of the capital to get all the things that Tang Doudou thought he needed and that Jin Laimi thought he needed. Fortunately, they all arranged for the shop assistants to send them to Prince Hong's Mansion.
Otherwise, more than a dozen people will be exhausted.
The whole morning passed like this. The two little girls Chun'er and Qiu'er were tired and trembling when walking, but Ninja did not say a word. Tang Doudou, who was walking in front, was very satisfied when he saw this.
The girl is really good. I can teach her and support her in the future.
Of course, Tang Doudou himself was not in a good situation. After all, she has the body of a teenage girl. She is more flexible than other girls, but her physical strength cannot keep up. He turned his head slightly and saw that the housekeeper Jin Laimi also had some sweat stains on his forehead.
Tang Doudou exclaimed in his heart: He is too stupid. He ran around all morning, looking at things, looking for shops, and negotiating prices. They must be exhausted. Even Jin Laimi, who is a grown man, risked his life.
Sweat, I was too negligent!
Immediately, Tang Doudou turned around and asked: "Are you hungry?" Tang Doudou didn't say anything. It was okay. At this mention, the more lively Chun'er's stomach rang twice in response, making the three of them laugh.
When she got up, Chun'er blushed and lowered her head. She had just arrived at the palace. She was lively and not very courageous, so she had to lower her head and blush as they laughed at her.
Tang Doudou, who had laughed enough, took one in each hand and said to Jin Laimi: "Brother Jin, look at the food here. We have worked hard all morning, so we should eat some to fill our stomachs."
It fell down amidst the sound of their group eating all morning.
In the afternoon, various shops came to deliver the things Tang Doudou wanted one after another. Tang Doudou naturally left this matter to Jin Laimi. She hid in her room and looked at the banknotes she had in her hand in the morning. Now only
She had several pounds of silver, and except for the 20,000 taels of silver notes she had set aside and the jewelry stolen from the palace, she had no money now.
This situation made her, Chun'er, and Qiu'er all worried. Without money, it was really difficult to move forward.
While Tang Doudou was in a daze, Jin Laimi had already led everyone to pack their things and put them neatly. Everyone was sweating from exhaustion, but they were very happy to see the brand-new palace. After all, it was the place where they would live in the future. Of course, the better.
Comfortable.
Besides, Tang Yanxi was having a hard time. A few mornings ago, it was reported that the general's palace treated his legitimate daughter harshly and despised the imperial power. As the concubine who married the ninth prince Ueijing Hiroyuki, he was only given a dowry of three hundred taels. This matter spread to Uejing La
In Yun's ears, our emperor was so angry that he threw everything on the floor.
Yes, he didn't like Hiroyuki Kamei, but it was also his blood and his son. Marrying a fool from the General's Palace to him was enough to promote the General's Palace. This old man Tang Yanxi actually dared to give him only three hundred taels of silver.
Damn it, the little general's palace dared to laugh at him for giving birth to a waste.
Shangjing Woyun planned to punish Tang Yanxi well when he went to court the next day, so that Tang Yanxi and everyone would know that no matter how bad Shangjing Hiroyuki was, it would not be the turn of these people to criticize him. Who knew that in the afternoon, it was reported that General Tang Yanxi went to a brothel to find a woman?
, but met Prince Hong's Ueijing Hiroyuki and Princess Hong's Tang Doudou. Even if his daughter caught him in a brothel, he even competed with his son-in-law for a woman.
In the end, it was even more ridiculous. I was carried all the way back from the brothel to the general's mansion without any clothes or boots. People were pointing and watching along the way. Isn't it lively? And the doctor who rushed to treat the patient said again
Tang Yanxi seemed to be in trouble after leaving the hospital, and he would no longer be able to serve as a human being. Of course, Tang Yanxi could not go to court after being injured. He was recuperating at home for a few days. Today he felt a little better, so he was summoned by Shangjing Woyun.
In the main hall, Shangjing Woyun stared at Tang Yanxi with his dark eyes. Tang Yanxi was already exhausted, and this invisible pressure made his head sweat. The ministers below all looked at each other. The wind in Beijing has been changing recently.
Turned to the General's Mansion!
Shangjing Woyun looked at Tang Yanxi for a long time and suddenly said: "General Tang, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Hearing this, Tang Yanxi made a "plop" and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, claiming that he did not dare. Shangjing Woyun stared at him angrily, and said angrily: "What is Tang Aiqing doing? The Tang Dynasty's legitimate daughter and Jiu
When the prince got married, Tang Aiqing gave her a dowry of three hundred taels. How generous was she? Later, she and the ninth prince played with a woman in a brothel. She must be very satisfied with my gift of marriage?"
Tang Yanxi felt angry and ashamed as he listened to Shangjing Woyun's words. Recently, he didn't know if he had offended some god. Bad things and scandals had come to him one after another. He, a majestic general, had almost turned into a Beijing official.
Got hit by a clown.
Seeing Tang Yanxi only kowtow and not speaking, Shangjing Woyun knew that Tang Yanxi knew that he had made a big mistake and did not dare to speak out to defend or beg for mercy. Shangjing Woyun did not want to ruin his reputation as a wise king to the people and future generations because of this incident.
He criticized Tang Yanxi, took a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, fined Tang Yanxi half a year's salary, banned him for a month, and confiscated Tang Yanxi's military power of 20,000 yuan.
Although Tang Yanxi felt uncomfortable, he did not dare to say anything. Now the whole General Mansion was at the forefront of the storm. He commanded an army of 100,000. The emperor only confiscated 20,000, which was considered to have saved him face. After all, he was disrespectful to the royal family.
The crime is a capital crime.
What happened in the main hall in the morning spread quickly. When Tang Doudou heard the people in the mansion talking about the unlucky general, he couldn't help but feel that he was in a good mood, so he went to the kitchen in person and told the kitchen steward, Aunt Hua, that in the evening
If you have a good meal and make everyone happy, of course Grandma Hua will be happy. This is a great thing. Can you not make her happy?
Immediately, he took the people to prepare the chicken, duck and fish that were delivered in the afternoon. The small kitchen was very busy. When it was time to eat, everyone had an expression of anticipation on their faces. The smell of meat in the palace today was amazing.
It's been an afternoon, and I'm so greedy for them. Ueijing Hiroyuki and Tang Doudou are both careless and unruly people, and the whole palace is making a fuss with the sound of eating and drinking.
But after suffering so much, the General's Mansion was lifeless. Tang Yanxi was in a bad mood. He also thought about what the doctor said about his damaged body. Whether he could survive in the future was still a question. As a man, could he not be anxious? What's more, there were many wives and concubines at home.
, facing a group of beautiful ladies, all of them are yours, and they all want to be favored by you, but you can't? How ironic is this?
He also remembered that when Butler Ding came to repay him for being scolded in the palace this morning, Tang Doudou, a rebellious girl, pawned the clothes and jewelry he kindly gave her, as well as his own clothes and boots in the pawn shop. He was so angry that he wanted to rush in
Prince Hong's Mansion beat Tang Doudou to death. Not only did she not take action against him in the brothel that day, she actually took advantage of the fire and stole thousands of taels of silver notes, broken silver, jade pendants, and rings from herself. Forget it, she even took off her clothes and boots.
, just to go to a pawn shop to exchange for a few dollars, which made me so embarrassed that I couldn't even raise my head. Doesn't this rebellious girl want to piss herself to death?
Tang Yanxi walked around the study room. He really couldn't swallow this breath. After thinking about it, what if he couldn't take Jing Hiroyuki and Tang Doudou now? But he could add trouble to them, which would make him feel better. After thinking about it, he went to Chen's courtyard.
Go.
Chen Shuangjia, who is in her own small yard, is not having a good time now. Looking at her mutilated hands, she is so heartbroken that she almost breaks her teeth. The daughter she has loved, nurtured, and taught for more than ten years has now become a useless chess piece.
, it also caused her and Tang Yanxi to have no affection at all, and they were completely torn apart. She was angry and hateful. If Tang Doudou was still in the house now, she would definitely beat her to death. It had to be said that they were not a family, no
