Chapter 23 Jiang's Counterattack
Yuhanlou soon launched the first lot, which was a phoenix crown.
"Dear guests, don't underestimate this phoenix crown. This is the former queen's phoenix crown - Feng Yu Jiutian. The phoenix head is lifelike and the craftsmanship is even more ingenious. Especially the phoenix eye, which uses the most expensive ruby, and the large South China Sea pearl on the top of the phoenix crown, which is as big as a longan eye, which is rare."
Manager Yang's words caused an uproar.
Wen Huimin was amazed: "This Yuhan Tower is really bold. Even the Queen's Phoenix Crown dared to take it out for auction."
Chunyu and other maids stretched their heads even more, wanting to see clearly what the phoenix crown looks like.
"I knew I should have brought Qiao Huo out, she was most interested in these things." Cheng Xin said.
Wenqi beside her chuckled: "Miss, if she gets interested, she has to find out the cost and craftsmanship of this phoenix crown. Then you have a headache."
“That’s right.”
Qiao Huan is a wealthy fan. There is nothing she is not interested in when she buys and sells prices in the capital, from gold foil and jade brocade to firewood, rice, oil and salt.
I heard that I have shown my talent for money since I was a child, so I was arranged to learn the ability to manage accounts at the weekly accountant.
"This phoenix crown is not as beautiful as the Queen's current one. By the way, Cheng Xin, have you ever seen the Queen's phoenix crown?" Wen Huimin said and turned to look at her.
Cheng Xin shook his head: "I grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child, but I don't have much chance to attend the palace banquet."
"Didn't you go to the Grandma Dai during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet last year?"
"Yeah?"
Cheng Xin thought about it and there was no impression in the memory left by the original owner.
I think these palace banquets are not good memories for the original owner.
"Yes, but you don't even dare to raise your head. I guess you can't even see what the Empress looks like?"
Cheng Xin did not miss the contempt in Wen Huimin's eyes and said, "Next time I enter the palace, I have to talk to the queen. Look, I have been confused when I fell into the water last time."
"It's just you-"
Wen Huimin also thought to herself which onion she was and was thinking about entering the palace next time. But as soon as she heard about falling into the water, she could swallow it and say it to her mouth.
Also, she only remembered that Cheng Xin came from Jiangnan, but forgot that she was the lady of Duke An Guo’s Mansion. If she was the lady next to her, she would not be much more noble than her prime minister’s lady in terms of status.
The Duke of An Guo was different. Although he died on the battlefield in the early years, he was the adopted son of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother treated the Duke of An Guo more closely than his two own sons. Now he loves the house and the Queen Mother is very fond of the young master.
But the young master doesn’t like to go out or enter the palace. Mrs. Anguo also lives in the Buddhist temple, which makes Cheng Xin have no way to enter the palace.
But as my sister said, the Queen Mother will think of this person sooner or later, and maybe Cheng Xin will be different from the past when that time comes.
Thinking about this clearly, Wen Huimin changed her words: "If you enter the palace next time, you can let me go with you. I am more familiar with you in the palace and it is easier to take care of you."
Cheng Xin laughed and pretended not to hear it.
Wen Huiyi stared at the phoenix crown without turning his eyes, and said for a moment: "Former Queen, haha, a sinful woman who is involved in the plot can be called the queen."
"Miss Wen Er, who is talking about?"
"You don't even know this?" Wen Huimin finally put away the slightest recurrence and overflowed again.
Cheng Xin shook his head.
"Sister Xin is far away in Jiangnan, I don't think so clearly about these things." Wen Huiyi glanced at Yu Lu beside her.
Yu Lu understood and said softly: "Our lady is talking about Empress Dowager Jiang. She and the fourth prince participated in the plot to rebel. After the palace was defeated, she hanged herself. Her things were thrown out of the palace by the current emperor, and now they are wandering among the people. Even the phoenix crown has become a lot in a shop."
Who is Empress Dowager Jiang? Cheng Xin has heard of it when he asked Wenqi and the others about this dynasty these days.
This Empress Dowager Jiang was amazing when she was young. Her father, who was only a fifth-rank official, was voluntarily admitted to the palace for the sake of her family.
After entering the palace, she started from a small talented person and sat step by step to the position of the imperial concubine. Almost with her own beauty and talent, she supported the entire family on the verge of decline.
Later, Emperor Ren Yuan's first wife, Empress Nian, died of illness. Jiang became the queen because of her contribution to giving birth to the fourth prince. She was the only one in the harem for more than ten years.
When he learned about this, Cheng Xin also asked the system whether this Jiang family had a time traveler who had taken the harem counterattack script.
Of course, Xiaoshu's answer is: When you are a time traveler, you are a time traveler, and you are a time traveler everywhere.
The result also proves that the Jiang family's Dingfeng stopped here.
When Emperor Ren Yuan died, he passed the throne to the prince who was born with Empress Nian.
Jiang became the queen mother but was unwilling to accept it. That night, his son, the fourth prince forced the palace to rebel, causing a palace change.
Wen Huimin said: "Jiang's family participated in the plot to defeat and was implicated in the nine tribes. Naturally, her things were not worthy of being with the royal family anymore. Now these people are rushing to buy them, just to satisfy their own face.
It's ridiculous to think that a phoenix crown of a sinner can have something to do with the Queen."
"Actually, my father said that this Jiang family gave many things to the ministers in the court a few months before the death of the previous emperor. It was called commendation, but it actually paved the way for his son.
Later, all these things were handed back to the court by the ministers, and now the emperor rewarded them all to the soldiers who had rebelled and made contributions. Among them was this phoenix crown."
Wen Huiyi said as she saw the phoenix crown under her was bought by a wealthy businessman with big ears, she couldn't help but shake her head: "It's not that these things are bad, but that they are just following the wrong person."
"Since the reward is given to the heroes, why does it still appear in the Yuhan Tower? Can this dynasty take out the emperor's rewards to trade?" Although Cheng Xin has not studied it, he also knows that the gifts given to the emperor are not allowed to be transferred, let alone a pride of transactions.
"Others may not work. But it is unlucky for anyone to stay in the Jiang family to keep things in their homes, so someone will take them out and pawn them. There are one or two things in this kind of thing. Today's saints are kind and kind, and they will never pursue them." Wen Huimin curled his lips.
At this moment, Xiaoshu suddenly shouted: 'The heroine, the heroine is here!'
Cheng Xin hurriedly looked towards the gate and happened to see two women wearing straw hats entering one by one.
Their clothes were all clothed, and they were a bit inconsistent with their hats. However, this dynasty did not order only the ladies of the official family to dress up like this, so the people around them just looked at them more.
The former has a slim figure, while the latter is a little shorter. It should be Wen Yunxian and Yueya.
"Cheng Xin, are you listening to me?"
