These words somewhat impressed Mrs. Qi, but she hesitated again, "But your sister-in-law..."
Mrs. Qi looked at her, not worried that Mrs. Qi would not be moved by her words.
"Your sister-in-law was rejected by her husband's family because of Jiang Liangdi. If the Xie family is so stubborn, wouldn't it put your sister-in-law in an even more difficult situation?"
"Embarrassing" is a nice word to say. For the Qi family, how could the word "embarrassment" be enough to describe the incident of being imprisoned in the Summer Palace?
"Mother!" Mrs. Qi said quickly, "It's now, and you're still thinking about this? Don't you see it? Although the Xie family is a bit unsophisticated, they are not really cruel people.
Look at what Jiang Liangdi did before, think about what my sister-in-law did, but even for such a crime, the Xie family didn't really do anything to her.
It was just that he was locked up for a period of time, and even outside he was verbally protected and provided with good food and drink. Now that the matter was almost over, he was still released and asked to go to another courtyard to relax.
So... you have to think about it clearly! The Xie family will not really do anything to my sister-in-law, but our family is indeed on the verge of death.
This person is walking downhill, just like rolling a ball down the mountain. He will go faster and faster! Now at this time, we don’t want to try to move up. We are still thinking about Xie Jia, mother doesn’t think it’s a bit salty
Are you worried about Luo Luo Dan?"
Just now I didn't see my daughter-in-law being so talkative at Qi's place, but now she was talking a lot.
Under such circumstances, Mrs. Qi actually felt that what her daughter-in-law said was quite reasonable.
"But...can Jiang Liangdi see me? Last time I sent a message, but she didn't answer it."
"One moment, another moment!" Mrs. Qi said quickly, "Some time ago, so many people were speculating that after the prince ascended the throne, Jiang Liangdi might sit in that seat.
If she could become the queen, she would naturally be indifferent to our family, but things are different now. The crown princess has already been decided.
Even if the prince has some feelings for her, he can only make her a concubine at most. A favored concubine may not necessarily have an easy life in the harem, unless she has a strong natal family.
So right now, Jiang Liangdi needs us!"
Mrs. Qi gained confidence from what she said. She nodded repeatedly and said: "I didn't expect that the critical moment is here. You still have two brains. Okay, I will hand over the post to the palace and see what she takes."
Don’t take my call.”
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do whatever they say. Now is the time when they are working hard for the honor of the family.
At this time, it was not just the Qi family walking around in the capital, but other people as well.
Because of the young master Wen, the Wen family immediately became a popular family, and there were quite a few people coming and going on weekdays.
Even at this time, everyone in Daqi knew that His Majesty could not last more than a few days. Even the chief weaving room was rushing to make mourning clothes and the crown clothes for the new emperor's enthronement, but the Wen family still had banquets every two days.
.
Not only the Wenwen family hosted a banquet for their guests, but others also came over to invite them.
The Wen family has never been a low-key family. When they were attached to the third prince, they would often spend time with the Gao family, having poetry gatherings, tea parties and flower gatherings today and tomorrow.
It's just that they used to follow the Gao family, but now they have become the second Gao family.
Such an occasion is actually needed, especially in the face of the current situation in the capital.
No one knows what will happen next.
Even though everything seems okay at the moment, there are still people serving as officials in the government. How could they not know that civil unrest has already occurred in many places?
There are even scenes of people dying of hunger thousands of miles away in places where the land is barren and suffered major disasters last year.
The original war with Da Rong had already exhausted the court's resources, but it happened that the war started again in southern Yunnan.
If one or two more turmoils break out somewhere, it's not certain whether Daqi's country will be able to sit still.
Don't you see that those few people in Wenyuan Pavilion are almost not busy now.
The first assistant, Xie Yuncang, had a high fever a few days ago and was sitting in the government office to approve official documents.
But this does not affect other people's desire to seek benefits at this time.
The many banquets that come and go in the Wen family obviously provide such occasions.
In addition, those entertainment venues are also primary sources of news.
Aunt Huanxi looked at the accounts spread out in front of her, with a not-so-pleasant expression on her face, "Is this the account you gave me this quarter?"
The accountant standing in front of her was a little nervous, "Auntie, it's true that no one has much money in their pockets nowadays. It's okay for us in the capital. Not many people go to the local Jun Mo Zui. They all say that the price is too high.
Moreover, brothels in many places are now opened one after another. Although the quality of the girls is a little lower, they are still cheap!"
The speaker only focused on reporting the current basic situation to Aunt Huanxi, and did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.
But Aunt Huanxi's face became increasingly ugly.
Cheap……
Originally, it was used to describe goods, but in this world, people are also a kind of goods.
How many families can no longer survive, so they have no choice but to sell their sons and daughters.
In the past, daughters could be sold and sent to wealthy families to work as maids.
But nowadays, the world is not good, and people with slightly better family backgrounds are also thinking about cutting expenses and preserving their strength.
After all, those ordinary wealthy people who rely on their fields to collect rent have slowly fallen into decline.
The farmers who farmed the land had no food to eat and were forced to become refugees.
If there are no people working on the fields, the landlords will have no surplus food. They can only choose to sell the fields at a low price, thus losing their assets bit by bit.
Then become a new farmer.
Tragedies like this happen every day, everywhere in the land of Daqi.
And it is under such circumstances that human lives become goods.
Aunt Huanxi looked at the account books for a long time without speaking, and the accountant was also trembling with fear.
Just when he thought he was going to be in trouble this time, Aunt Huanxi waved his hand and told him to leave.
Not long after, someone came in from the other door.
"What does aunt want to do?"
Hearing what the man said, Aunt Huanxi chuckled, "What to do? What can I, a brothel girl, do?"
The visitor stopped talking and just waited quietly.
After a long time, which seemed not to be long at all, I suddenly heard Aunt Huanxi murmur: "When did this world become such a mess?"
