Chapter two hundred and thirty, mutual care
Even though Mrs. Chengpingbo had just returned from her Youji shop in Funan Province, she had to deal with the sudden incident, she could not face the imperial edict well in this short period of time when she was urging by Xiong Qiang.
This incident came without any warning, and Zhang Leyu's curse effect was strong. He was able to come back alive and many people thought that the incident of Mrs. Bo entering Beijing had temporarily passed, but they did not expect that Mrs. Chengping would be punished and also have superficial commendations.
This is not the forced force of King Lu. She could leave with her family property. She has not transferred her family property yet and does not have enough time. There is a saying that all over the world is the king's land.
Fortunately, she had told her about her funeral once, so she was calm this night. In addition to her and Qin, there were four housekeepers here. Mrs. Bo followed the account book she had just moved out and looked at Qin again. Qin could feel the gaze from the sobs, and she raised her face from the veil, and was quite determined.
Mrs. Bo smiled warmly at her and looked at Lin Zhong, who had been following Chengping Bo for the longest time. Perhaps it was because of the shaking candlelight. She felt that Lin Zhong felt gray hair after hearing the imperial edict. Tears were in his eyes, and the circles were visible red.
"Auntie follows me if we can't come back,"
Lin Zhong waved his hand and cried, "Madam, don't say this, I will follow you too. I can't control this family or so many people." He guessed what Mrs. Bo was about to say.
Mrs. Chengpingbo looked at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng waved her hand, and Lin Yi shook her head. When they all expressed their intention to go to Beijing with their mistress, Lin De straightened his chest. He was the housekeeper of the hospital, so he would follow him.
Mrs. Chengping frowned: "What should I do at home? I need someone to burn incense in front of my uncle." Her last hope could only be placed on Lin De: "Butler De, you know how to do kung fu, and you can see the house."
"No, no, no, I only know how to protect the hospital, I don't know how to keep the housekeeper. Let's say not to be discouraged first. Do we definitely not come back? If you are discouraged at this moment, why not think about how to come back alive, even if you spend more money and ask for more people,"
Lin De felt hope was not lost: "It is said that Your Highness has no support, but he has grown up in that deep palace, so His Highness can't do anything in the palace, right?"
Lin Zhong and others' eyes shone, and they agreed, "Yes, go and ask Your Highness."
Mrs. Chengpingbo smiled gently. If His Highness King Jin had a solution, Zhang Leyu would not have come to Beijing to curse. After the imperial edict was issued, he asked Chang'an to come to see him, saying that he would pretend to be sick and that the rest would be arranged by him, which shows that he did not have good protection measures for himself to enter Beijing.
When they discussed it, they all felt that there was danger, but they were not necessarily desperate. They might also come up with solutions. There were many suggestions, such as Lin Zhong agreed with Lin De's statement. He believed that it was better to prepare for both hands. For example, the property of the Lin family could be transferred to the shopkeeper You Er now; Dong Qiao once again proposed to escape from the foreign country as Aunt Ping said. Well, no one paid attention to this girl who was enthusiastic about giving advice.
Qin replied to her helplessly: "Dai girl, if your wife cannot come back to Beijing, the imperial edict belongs to the emperor. We cannot escape from abroad at all. If your wife can come back to Beijing, we cannot go abroad. Do you think you are a foreign country? It is enough for people to accept the situation. Besides, bullying the new people in the place of birth. In Nanxing, we still have Your Highness and everyone. If we escape abroad, we have nothing."
Dong Qiao whispered: "If, if, you have to survive."
The arrival of King Liang Ren of Jin interrupted their conversation. Mrs. Chengpingbo walked out of the second door to greet him. When she met him on the road, Liang Ren told her not to salute: "Let's go, I feel so depressed. I think you won't be able to have a good time."
The two of them walked one after another, all their worries, gradually paralleling, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms at the end of their noses, Liang Ren stopped outside the plum forest and turned his body sideways: "With me here, you can not go."
"That would bring danger to Your Highness, bring danger to Nanxing, and humiliate the husband." Mrs. Chengpingbo was moved and sad. The two highnesses were apart, and what kind of freak was that hateful King Lu?
Liang Ren frowned anxiously and walked quickly on the spot for several times. Mrs. Chengpingbo became more and more calm in his anxiety and advised: "Your Highness, that's the emperor, no one dares to disobey."
"It's me that's incompetent, it's me that's too incompetent," Liang Ren said quickly, looking at Xuekong suddenly, breathing in the cold air, still feeling weak, and hanging down to the ground: "It's me that's incompetent."
In his movements, Mrs. Chengpingbo's heart ached after no reason. She saw Liang Ren untied her snow-covered clothes, covered her headlessly, and stuffed a hard bag into her hand. Through the snow-covered clothes, he heard him clearly say: "You go now, when you see my clothes, the gate will open. I will arrange someone to pick you up outside the city. You can use this bag of jewelry and come back after the show is over."
The man's breath swept like the strongest north wind in winter, and it swept around Mrs. Chengpingbo's whole body. She felt warm tears filled her throat, and her soreness blocked her throat and couldn't cry. Under the man's powerful arms, she walked several steps in her snow-clothing until her feet slipped and her body sat down. Her arm was lifted up. Mrs. Chengpingbo stood up again, and Liang Ren did not push her.
Mrs. Chengping Bo peeled off her face from her snow-clothed clothes and looked at Liang Ren seriously and unrestrainedly, with a reproach in her eyes: "I escape, what should you do if your highness, what should you do with my uncle's reputation? Your Highness, let me go, at most, if I die, if I come back alive, I will have to take a few big bites back."
She showed a fierce look, which was ridiculous because she was not a fierce person. Liang Ren was frightened when she said "at most, she died". She only felt that the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to break, and this time would overturn him at any time.
Then he heard what Mrs. Bo said behind him, and he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Okay, you are right! Hiding is not a way, I can't help you hide, I'll find another way!"
He ran away and waved his arms vigorously. Mrs. Chengpingbo thought for a moment: "Oh, Your Highness's clothes," his voice fell, and a strong nasal sound came out: "Be careful to be cold." She felt something cold across her cheeks, but made her whole body warm forever. Looking at the figure that was gone, Mrs. Chengpingbo told herself firmly again that she was willing to go, even if she couldn't come back.
However, Lin De was right. His Highness King Jin's spirit that had just shook hard also in turn infected Mrs. Chengpingbo, making her forget to wear the snow clothes of the man outside. She walked in the snow over and over again and murmured: "Maybe I can live, what I should think about is to come back alive. I don't have children yet. If I can't come back, who will burn incense to my uncle?"
Qin came to her with concern, and Mrs. Chengpingbo pushed Xueyi to Dong Qiao: "Let the butler De invite the shopkeeper Tu Da. He will live in the city during the Chamber of Commerce."
Tu Jushan was not in Longmen Trading. He walked in front of him on the way to the King of Jin's Mansion.
......
King Liang Ren of Jin rushed into his study as if he was galloping and hitting a horse. The angry and sad Guo Yuren sat here alone, holding his bow and arrow and thinking about killing Xiong Qiang. Is his sister not necessary to enter Beijing?
Of course, Mr. Guo could only think about this naive idea, and Zhang Leyu had already convened all his staff to hold a meeting next door.
Liang Ren walked in like a meteor, Yongshou replied: "Gentlemen are..." Liang Ren had already entered his room and met Guo Yuren who looked up when he heard the movement. Liang Ren looked at him firmly: "Take Chang Jiaqi and the others and go to Beijing too. I will write a few addresses for you. If you secretly meet Taizai Hong, I will write another letter to Lord Taizai. You can find a way to kill Prince Lu."
Guo Yuren couldn't believe that the surprise came so suddenly. He dreamed of killing the people from the Prince of Lu's Mansion, and he had always surrendered to the fact that His Highness King Jin was too weak and Nanxing dared not raise troops. In this reality.
He trembled his lips: "Aren't you lying to me?"
"The truth is, go kill someone and warn Prince Lu's mansion not to hurt Mrs. Bo." Guo Yuren agreed.
Neither of them considered whether the Lu Palace would be unfavorable to Mrs. Chengpingbo when she was angry. Instead, they thought that after Liang Mou died, the crowd of the Lu Palace in the capital, Long Wuzhuo was also frightened, and Mrs. Chengpingbo was safe.
After Liang Ren returned to his case, he patted his hand heavily and breathed a long breath: "I want to start a war with him, I want to fight him, until he dares not attack me Nanxing again!" One arm waved: "Pack up your things, go back to the military camp tomorrow to meet Jiaqi and the others, and go to Beijing. I will order troops tomorrow, and I will start a war with Xixian!"
Guo Yuren really admired him to the extreme. His Highness was angry and looked very heroic. Liang Ren touched his forehead in his eyes: "Yes, I haven't written a letter yet, I'll write a letter."
He picked up the pen and wrote it, and soon arranged to stop. Guo Yuren took the letter and left. He wished he could put wings on his wings and flew to the capital now. In his heart, long-range weapons were his strengths, whether it was bows and arrows or flying knives, he would come to the Prince Lu Mansion for a while, so that they would dare to be evil again.
Tu Jushan came in to salute, Liang Ren ordered him to go forward until the front of the table, and gently tapped a thick stack of silver notes with his fingers. He looked like an eagle in his gloomy eyes: "This is one million taels, I guarantee Mrs. Pingbo's safety back."
He didn't talk nonsense. Although the imperial edict was issued on a night not long ago, it was impossible for Tu Jushan to be blocked, so he directly expressed his request.
As the shopkeeper, Tu Jushan knew all the rules of Longmen Trading Company. Those who could not accept were just one of those escorts, but the expression of King Jin made him unable to say anything. For example, Mrs. Baocheng Pingbo came to the capital to safely, this is OK, Mrs. Baober entered the palace to safely, but this is not OK.
The rules were deeply rooted in my mind. Although Tu Jushan could not refuse, he could not accept it. He was silent for a while.
Liang Ren held his breath: "I beg you for business! I know you have your own backer, and I will do everything for you in the future."
There is no pressure in Tu Jushan. What comes from His Highness is pressure, and what comes from Longmen Trading Company is also pressure. He kneels down and salutes: "Thank you, for your words, our Trading Company takes this escort for 300,000 taels."
He raised his face: "It's easy to talk about Beijing, but the palace is afraid that people will be killed at any time. The 300,000 taels are prepared to make the cost of the family."
Liang Ren split half of it and handed it to him. Tu Jushan took it with both hands and turned around to quit. Longmen Trading Company was willing to take the dart. Liang Ren felt that the stone in his heart could be put down. At least Mrs. Bo would come back alive. He felt that his breathing was smooth, and his eyes suddenly became bright. He called Yongshou in. Although he would say it late at night, let Mrs. Bo go with peace of mind.
Yongshou came in with a snow coat. Lin De sent it back. Liang Ren just asked Lin De to take the message back. Lin De followed closely behind Tu Jushan and returned to Bo's mansion. Because it was not out of the same door, he did not see Tu Jushan walking out of the royal mansion.
Qin Shi started to cry when she saw Tu Jushan. The old concubine had never been so tough. She raised her back and snatched her to speak in front of her mistress: "The big shopkeeper should offer a price, even if she sold the uncle's mansion, and I will ensure that my wife is safe. Have you always heard of the imperial edict?"
When Tu Jushan came to Chengpingbo's mansion, he knew the purpose of coming, which should be the same as His Highness King Jin's. If he accepted the money from King Jin, he should not accept Mrs. Chengpingbo's, but he promised His Highness King Jin not to say it out.
After stretching out three fingers, the old concubine was anxious: "Three million taels, this..." There was no such thing at home. She thought to herself, would she borrow it everywhere?
Mrs. Bo couldn't help but say, "Auntie, I'm not that valuable."
The old concubine said, "There is..." and continued to think about where to borrow it.
Tu Jushan said: "Thirty thousand taels."
The old concubine heard it awkwardly and said happily: "300,000 taels, yes, the family can take out this money at any time...ah?"
She looked at Tu Jushan: "Big shopkeeper, is my wife worth the price?" She would never be careless.
"I have another condition." Tu Jushan smiled.
Qin's spirit came back: "Tell me quickly."
Tu Jushan looked sad: "I'll come to me first when I ask my wife for help. I'll give you the lowest price. Don't fool me with snacks. You didn't pay a thousand taels of snacks in total. I heard that there are not less than ten old shopkeepers you have made appointments. Do you know what the old shopkeepers are priced? I guarantee you to go to Beijing, so I won't charge you any more. You can't bully me like this."
What was heart-wrenching about Tu Jushan's hardship. Qin Shi felt relieved when she heard this. She felt that the mistress's life had come back from these words. Since the imperial edict came to her home, she finally felt happy: "What's the use of more than a dozen people, and only one of them was the ones who got it. It's not the fools we fooled your business with snacks, but the fools who fooled my family in your business."
Tu Jushan bowed and bowed: "This trip is not charged, I just ask my wife to give up her hands. Don't let the old shopkeeper throw another one in my hands. I won't charge you this trip."
Qin began to doubt him again: "I think you are a person with a clever mind. There are some things you don't need to say clearly. Don't you know the danger of my wife coming to Beijing? If you don't charge money, don't think this trip is just a fun trip."
Tu Jushan thought it would be fine to collect two portions of money. Your family must give it to him. Your Highness King of Jin will not blame him. The problem is that what Your Highness promised to do in the future will be convenient, and it will probably be discounted.
Besides, I have long wanted to ask my uncle's house to stop and stop talking about the little fools who are used to fine snacks every day. It's so pleasant to say it in person today. Tu Jushan really doesn't want to collect money.
It was terrible that Mrs. Bo was suspicious, and Tu Jushan insisted that there was something to say first. When Mrs. Bo went to Xixian and collected 30,000 taels, Bo's mansion thought it was expensive. Tu Jushan said at that time that it was the price to go to the capital, but it was more troublesome to go to Xixian than to the capital.
I took out the old words and mentioned them here again. As mentioned earlier, the capital was better than going to Xixian in the past, and it would not increase by 30,000 taels.
