"First, the old slave went to the Yamen with the Third Madam. It is said that there can take the initiative to report whether the daughters of each family are engaged, and then the Yamen will verify it. The old slave accompanied the Third Madam, because it was a female family member, over there
A woman also came out, saying that she was helping to deal with this matter, because she was afraid that the female relatives from each family would come to the door and bump into someone."
Aunt Xu said angrily: "This woman took the third lady to a side hall to drink tea, and then she said something like that. The fourth girl Yu was obviously engaged, so she sent someone over to check, but she just didn't
He said that this matter had to be slowed down and that reports had to be filed layer by layer. He didn’t know when the investigation would take place. He also said that if there was no time to investigate, even if the fourth girl Yu was not engaged, if the person was engaged by then, she would have no choice but to go with her.
Go to the ground."
Aunt Xu thought it was extremely ridiculous. She had obviously already been engaged, but because she didn't have time to check, she sent the person to Qi as if she was not engaged. She had never heard of such an outrageous thing.
"How is the third lady?" Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully.
"The third lady just begged, but the old slave was very angry, saying that he had never heard of such a thing. The old lady actually laughed at the old slave for his lack of knowledge, and even asked the old slave to go to Prince Qi's palace to ask. How should such a thing be done?
There has to be a process. If the process is not completed and it is sent directly to Qi, it will not be their fault."
Anyone who knows Feng Yu’s notoriety will not ask!
This is also the reason why the mother-in-law is so confident.
"What happened next?" Yu Xijiao asked after a pause.
"Later, the person next to the Third Madam presented me with a banknote, and the old lady changed her smile and said that she would consider it immediately. She also said that she would never send Miss Yu to Qidi. Now that the engagement was arranged, this matter
It's different. If you go and urge me now, it should be faster, but you can't let others do things in vain."
The more Mammy Xu talked, the angrier she became: "It's their business to ask others to do things. The third lady didn't dare to go against her will, so she could only add more money."
Aunt Xu looked on to the side and was very angry. This was obviously asking for money.
"So...for money?" Yu Xijiao understood, with a hint of depth in her clear eyes, for money? The Qian Mansion is short of money? Or is Mrs. Qian short of money?
This is quite possible. Mrs. Qian is raising more than just a large family on the surface...
"The old slave felt that it was just for money. Before I gave him the money, I said he couldn't do anything. He kept saying that it was the emperor's order and no one could disobey it. He should do whatever he wanted. After he gave the money, he almost seemed like a different person.
It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s like a third lady in one mouthful, and the corners of her eyes are narrowed with laughter.”
Yu Xijiao was thoughtful. With Feng Yu's reputation, there really wouldn't be such a blind person who would bump into him on purpose.
Therefore, this account book is really promising.
"Girl, they are not only making money, they are also ruining the reputation of Prince Qi's palace." Aunt Xu was very angry.
Yu Xijiao smiled and raised her hand slightly: "Mom, don't worry, I will ask about it."
"Girl, it's best for you to ask. I feel that after receiving so much money from the third lady, the old lady may not be able to do her job with all her heart, and she might even come to ask for it in the future." Aunt Xu nodded and said.
"Will you come again?" Yu Xijiao asked thoughtfully. ap.
"The old slave looked at the woman with a proud smile, and stared at the back of the third lady when she left. The last one left, the old slave could see clearly that she had evil intentions." Mother Xu said.
.
"Mother Xu, please pay more attention to the affairs of the four girls in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. If anything happens, come and report me." Yu Xijiao nodded and said.
Seeing Nanny Xu leaving, Mingyue asked: "Girl, I want to go find Eunuch Huaibao first?"
"No need." Yu Xijiao shook her head, her eyes fell on the roster again, and her white fingers scratched Xu Jiayi's name, "Go to the Xu Mansion to send a note."
Although Xu Jiayi has a bit of a silly temper, her character is not a problem. It happens that I haven't seen this girl Xu for a while, so I took advantage of this to invite her to come over and talk.
Besides, it’s not just this matter, there are other things about the Xu family,
She also asked Xu Jiayi to help inquire before, wondering if there was any news...
Mrs. Qian is short of money, and she is very short of money now.
In the past, I could still get a lot of money from my daughter, but now that I don’t have my daughter and no income, I immediately feel that my hands are tighter.
Now I feel stretched.
Mr. Qian is from a noble family, Mrs. Qian is not a daughter of a wealthy family, the Qian Mansion does not have many properties, and its output is limited.
In fact, it cannot be said that there is no money. Mrs. Qian has money. She intercepted a sum of utensils at that time and took them out. They were all treasures. They were inspected by the Anguo Palace. Mrs. Qian knew from her daughter's mouth that some things would be stolen.
He was greedy and would quietly leave An Guo Gong's Mansion at night.
She snatched the food from the tiger's mouth.
That batch of things was good, but it came from a wrong place. Mrs. Qian didn't dare to expose it, nor did she dare to put it in the Zhuangzi under the name of the Qian Mansion. Her daughter's name was also the Zhuangzi of Xuanping Marquis, so it was very suitable.
Compared with Qian Mansion, Xuanpinghou Mansion is the best protective umbrella.
The Qian family got the news from the Ning family. They knew that there would be accidents during the inspection of the Anguo Palace. On that night, someone made a secret move and concealed part of the property, and also secretly moved it that night.
What Mrs. Qian wanted to do was simple. She sent people to intercept it secretly.
That night, it was dark and windy, so the group of people also took action secretly, being very cautious and not daring to make any big noise. Mrs. Qian's people, acting on their own calculations, immediately intercepted the goods and retreated quietly.
That group of people didn't dare to pursue him recklessly.
This can be regarded as gangsterism, and no one dares to speak out.
So this part of the property came into the hands of Mrs. Qian, and is now hidden in a village outside the city. It was said before that someone was buying the old belongings of Duke An Guo at a high price. Mrs. Qian actually wanted to take action, but after thinking about it, she finally didn't dare.
.
I wonder if the person who took action secretly was the person who was intercepted in the first place. Madam Qian suddenly took action. Although the incident happened suddenly, the team responded quickly. After being robbed and a little confused, they immediately became calm.
After coming down, according to reports from those who came later, their people almost left a few corpses behind.
Fortunately, the other party didn't want to make a big fuss. Fortunately, the incident happened too suddenly.
Mrs. Qian also checked later and found nothing. However, she always felt that the matter might have something to do with the royal family, so she immediately withdrew her hands, not daring to ask anything or move anything.
Just wait until this matter has passed for a long time, and then take action slowly.
Southern Tang was very dissatisfied with her recent actions. They had sent a letter to reprimand her before. Mrs. Qian became more and more irritated. Her message to Southern Tang for help had no effect at all. She did not send anyone or send her a message.
Qian Cai vaguely meant to neglect her, which made Mrs. Qian even more uneasy.
When she saw the banknote presented by her wife, she just glanced at it and her expression became grim. It was far different from what she expected.
"Old Madam, someone is here." A woman came in hurriedly and whispered in Madam Qian's ear.
Mrs. Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, she took her mother-in-law's hand and glanced to the south, "Over there?"
"Old madam, yes." The old woman lowered her voice.
Mrs. Qian calmed down and suppressed the excitement in her heart. She hadn't seen anyone coming over there for a while: "Let someone come in quickly!"
The mother-in-law went out in response, and soon she led a doctor in his fifties into the door. Mrs. Qian was still recovering from her leg injury, and from time to time she would ask a doctor to come to her home to check on her injury.
On weekdays, there is only one old doctor who deals with injuries. Occasionally, I will find other doctors to take care of my body.
Only Mrs. Qian and her confidant were left in the house.
The doctor came forward to pay his respects, knelt in front of the bed, and said in a very low voice: "I have met the eldest princess."
The so-called eldest princess originated from the current emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The current emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty had promised Mrs. Qian that when she finished all the things and returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, she would be the eldest princess, and the title was already being drafted.
, just waiting for her to go back, but before the matter is finished, she still has to stay in Dajin.
Mrs. Qian is very satisfied with the title "Eldest Princess"
, a smile appeared on his face: imitating the appearance of the eldest princess Minghe he had seen in the past, he raised his head reservedly and said calmly: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Princess." The man stood up.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mrs. Qian leaned on the cushion behind her with an unhappy face, "What did you bring here?"
"Eldest Princess, the Emperor misses you very much. He has been thinking of you. He was afraid that you would have a hard time here, so he asked me to bring some gifts. It's just that it is not convenient to send them to Beijing at the moment. They are still outside the city and I don't dare to give them in large quantities.
Most of the emperor's rewards are placed in your residence in Nantang."
The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty told Mrs. Qian that she would be rewarded with a large mansion in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Mrs. Qian herself also sent someone to secretly visit it. It was indeed a very large mansion, and it was indeed a princess mansion. Although
It didn't specify which princess it was, but the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty meant that this was hers.
He said that if it would be inconvenient for him to send the reward to Dajin, he would give it directly to the Southern Tang Dynasty. When Mrs. Qian returns to the Southern Tang Dynasty, she can collect it directly.
Sometimes there is a gift list in the letters from Nan Tang. Over the years, Mrs. Qian has received a lot of gift lists, and each one is of amazing value, which makes Mrs. Qian secretly very happy.
She is just a foreign concubine. Now she not only has her own mansion, but also has the status of a princess. Of course, if the emperor of the Jin Dynasty is of her blood, Mrs. Qian does not feel that she must return to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Of course she would rather hold the power than an eldest princess who has great power.
"Princess, this is the gift list." The person who came here really knew the rules. He took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it over. Compared with the previous ones, this gift list was also very outstanding. Although the real thing could not be seen, Mrs. Qian also
I am very happy. I have been feeling gloomy during this period, but now I have a satisfied smile on my face.
After taking the gift list and reading it, my face was filled with smiley wrinkles.
