Chapter 351 Two old ladies come to Beijing

Qi Yue was very capable of doing things, and in just a few days, he had enough money to provide disaster relief.

The Ministry of Revenue has insufficient surplus, which is actually a very important reason why the treasury money was borrowed by ministers, royal relatives and nobles.

Today, this minister borrows a few hundred taels, and tomorrow, the prince borrows a few thousand taels. The more he borrows, the less he will be, and the longer he will be, the treasury will naturally be empty.

When Qi Yue came up, the first thing he did was to ask for debts and to go from house to house. Some royal relatives cheated on him and refused to pay back, thinking that Qi Yue could not do anything to them.

But Qi Yue sent someone to take gongs and drums and beat the gongs and shouting, calling them to pay back the money.

People in the capital are all well-known people, and they are very proud of their faces and are afraid of being embarrassed. In this way, they are fighting to go to the Ministry of Revenue to make up for the debt.

Ying Che's money in the previous dynasty was resolved, but Jiao Niang was very upset in the harem. The second old lady from the Hua family's southern courtyard came to Beijing and brought her third wife with her, wanting to see Jiao Niang.

A few days ago, Su Qingyin entered the palace and had already conveyed the old lady's words. The second old lady went to Beijing for purpose. One was to ask Jiao Niang to arrange an errand for her eldest grandson, and the other was to mention Qian Niang. Qian Niang lived in Ganlu Temple since Ying Hua died, and she wrote letters to her family for help.

They had no choice before, but the second old lady saw that she had become the queen now, so she became active.

Jiao Niang just wants to live a leisurely life and hates someone causing trouble for her the most, so she feels very upset.

But I have already handed the post, but I have to see each other, at least I have a relationship with my relatives.

The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to meet her parents-in-law. The beautiful girl thought she would meet her early, so she announced an order to summon them to the palace on this day.

Zhaohua Palace is magnificent. Even though the Nanyuan is the richest man in Licheng and has a wealthy family, the wealth and majesty of the palace cannot be described as money. The second old lady came with the third wife and Hua Junzhi. Hua Junzhi looked left and right, while marveling at the magnificence of the palace, while looking at the palace maids with lustful eyes.

The old lady and Su Qingyin were also accompanying her. Seeing that Hua Junzhi was so rude, the old lady was contemptuous and couldn't help but glance at the corners of her mouth. Although the second old lady was unhappy when she saw this, she was now the queen's grandmother. She was under the eaves and had to bow her head. She had to endure the old lady's rolling eyes and quietly pulled Hua Junzhi to remind him to be dumb.

"See the Queen, the Queen, the Queen, Changle Weiyang."

Jiao Niang smiled and shouted, "No need to be polite, get up quickly." Wu Dan helped the old lady up, Jiao Niang smiled and said, "I have talked to my grandmother several times. There is no outsider here, so there is no need to perform this great gift. Grandmother always refuses to listen."

The old lady smiled and said, "The courtesy cannot be abolished, this is the rule."

Her eyes squinted slightly at the two old ladies, and she said it specifically to her.

The second old lady showed a displeasure expression when she was just giving a bow. She felt that the sweet girl was a junior, and now she was going to bow to a junior, and she felt uncomfortable.

The girl had already seen the second old lady's reluctance, and smiled calmly on her face, so that she could bring a stool to them.

As soon as the second old lady sat down, she praised Jiao Niang, "When I first met Jiao Niang, I said that this child must have great blessings in the future, but I told me to make sure. Now Jiao Niang is the queen, Guangzong, and even we are in Licheng, there is light on our faces."

The girl smiled and took a sip of tea. She didn't say that before.

As soon as the second old lady finished her previous sentence, the third lady followed her flatteredly: "No, if we talk about the generations of our Hua family, the most blessed one is the sweet girl. Now it is said that what is the use of having a son? It is better to have a daughter. If you give birth to a daughter, you will be the queen and concubine in the future. The whole family will follow the glory. Look at the Hua family, that is an example. The queen's father became a marquis, and the queen's brothers were all high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the court. It is really envious to others."

The girl raised her eyes and smiled, saying, "Aunt San was joking."

The third lady narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Nothing is talking and joking. It's said that one person is a wise man and a dog ascends to heaven. Who doesn't know that the emperor favors the queen and listens to everything."

The sweet girl smiled but didn't say anything, and scratched the tea cover and drank the tea.

Seeing this reaction from the third lady, she glanced at her mother-in-law and made her look winked.

The second old lady turned her eyes and said, "Girl, my second grandma is coming to Beijing this time, I want to ask you for something." She didn't beat around the bush.

The girl pretended not to know and asked, "Oh? I don't know what's wrong with the second old lady? I'm useless, and I don't know if I can help."

"Yes, yes, sure." The second old lady said quickly. She looked at Jun Zhi and said, "Jun Zhi, your third uncle has obtained an official position in Licheng, but you also know when your cousin Zhi will succeed in the small place in Licheng. Therefore, the second grandma wants to ask you to find an errand for him in the capital."

He smiled apologized, "No need for any senior official, but at least he looks decent. It's not for anything else, but for you. If outsiders see the queen's cousin's indecent cousin, that's not to be ashamed of you."

The old lady held the tea, heard it, and hummed softly, and a ripples appeared on the surface of the tea.

I don’t even look at what kind of virtue my grandson is.

She had nothing to be proud of, but it was these grandchildren who made her face look gilded. Not to mention the sweet girl, it was Jun Yi and Ze Junxiang, who wouldn't give her a face?

Let’s look at the second old lady’s grandson. She is famous for being a treasure in Licheng.

She looked at Jiao Niang and heard her say, "So it's a request for an official? But this is all about the previous dynasty, and I said I won't make a decision."

When the second old lady saw that the girl was refusing, she showed an unhappy look on her face, her lips drooped slightly, and she smiled and said without a smile: "This is a joke. The emperor listens to you the most, and you have a word."

The sweet-girl's smile seemed to have a layer of gauze. "My second grandma said it simply, but the court has a system of the court. The emperor and the ministers discussed it. How can I, a woman, get involved?"

The old lady glanced at the second old lady and said, "The Qin royal family has rules and cannot interfere in politics in the harem. Isn't you making things difficult for the queen?"

"Why am I making things difficult for her?" The second old lady was obviously unhappy, her face drooped, and her right palm was hitting the back of her left hand one by one, and she said sarcastically: "Isn't it just asking her to arrange an errand for our Junzhi? Is it that difficult? I didn't ask for a high-ranking official like your Junze Junyi. Oh, it just won't work if she is separated by a floor. As soon as she opened her mouth, she arranged an important position for her brother and cousin. It would be difficult to get a small official when she came to our Junzhi."

The old lady was immediately angry, "What are you saying? Are you saying that Jun Yi and Junze are relying on nepotism?"

The second old lady snorted, "Who doesn't say that?"

The old lady was furious and was about to get angry, but the sweet girl said, "Who said that? Take that person to me and I'll listen to him."

When the second old lady saw that the girl looked bad, she was worried that she was the queen and had some requests, so she restrained her a little and said, "Yeah, I'm also listening to people's comments."
