Less than half an hour after Wan Yanzhen returned from the palace, Kaicheng Marquis Li Ke brought Wanrong, the female doctor from Concubine Li's palace, to visit the Duke of Ji.
But he was rejected.
However, the Daxing Prefecture Yamen then hastily closed the case and released Li Pingshun, the shopkeeper of Silla Grain Company.
After the palace's mediation, it was made clear that the matter should be reduced to a minor matter. Once the matter was reduced to a minor matter, it seemed that each side would give in and not hold each other accountable.
A piece of news spread quickly in Zhongdu.
It probably means that the servant San Jiujin of the Duke of Jiguo was enthusiastic about raising relief grains to save the victims outside the city. Unexpectedly, the Silla Grain Company hoarded the food and maliciously raised the price of grain. The two sides had a conflict, and the servant Sanjiu
Jin was severely injured and is still unconscious.
There was a lot of excitement at the moment.
Of course, this refers to ordinary people.
For many powerful people in Zhongdu, this is just a play. They omit the process and only focus on the results, because the results represent a lot of information.
Li Ke was so angry that he almost lost his temper.
Li Pingshun's arms were trembling: "Master Hou... the Pusan family has gone too far to bully others!"
Li Ke held the tea cup tightly, his face was livid, and he said in a low voice after a long time: "Since the concubine's words came from the palace, we can only tolerate it for the time being. However, this matter is by no means over. We will seize the opportunity in the future.
, I must kill this person named Pusan!"
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
Li Ke sneered: "Send two hundred stones of food to Pusan Mansion, and say that I am the one who apologizes to Mrs. Pusan!"
Li Pingshun said angrily: "Master Hou, this... I really can't swallow this breath!"
Li Ke suddenly became furious: "If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it. Otherwise, where will you stay? Go quickly!"
Li Pingshun was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything anymore, bowed his head and accepted the order and left.
When Li Pingshun returned to Xinluo Lianghao, he heard on the way that people from the Pusan family were buying disaster relief grains everywhere in the city. Various grain dealers responded one after another and declared their support for the young man's disaster relief. This family donated 100 dan, and that family donated 200 dan.
, unexpectedly, in less than half a day, nearly two thousand stones of food were collected.
Not a penny was spent.
Wan Yankang's resentment towards Pu San Jiu Jin suddenly disappeared. Although this product was ineffective, there was an old lady Pu San with great energy behind it.
Wanyan Kang was really impressed by the old lady of the Pusan family who took advantage of the situation to exert her strength and was good at dancing.
This is the real strategy, the real big shot, if you don't take action, it will be overturned.
He finally understood why Wan Yanhong, the cheap old man, had hinted in the letter that when he had trouble raising food, he could go to Mrs. Pu San.
…
Pusanjia Flower Hall.
Wanyanzhen held the exquisite green pottery tea cup and looked at the frightened young prince of Prince Zhao who was sitting below her with a smile. She didn't speak for a long time.
She looked up and down, which made Wanyan Kang's heart tremble.
You can only watch your eyes, nose and heart, and listen carefully to the instructions.
In fact, not only him, but also Da Xingguo and Ma Liang who were sitting next to him didn't dare to say a word.
As for Pu San Jiujin, he was even more well-behaved. He sat at the back and shrank his head, for fear that the old lady would notice him.
He is afraid of being beaten.
That was really a beating.
"Kang'er."
"Kang'er is here!"
"I heard that you even wrote a birthday poem for that girl from Qi Kingdom...what is it called?...You will never miss lovesickness in your life?"
Wanyanzhen's silver hair swayed slightly: "Tell me the truth, have you plagiarized someone else's work? Well, if you dare to tell a lie, think carefully about it yourself."
Uh... Wanyan Kang blushed and felt so embarrassed.
How can I say this? It was indeed copied, but I can’t admit it even to death: “I’m telling you, this is what Kang’er made at the Hua Qianshu Banquet that day, and it’s not plagiarism.”
"really?"
"Seriously! Kang'er would never dare to deceive Big Mama!"
Wanyanzhen curled her lips and smiled: "But why don't you believe me? Kang'er, I watched you grow up. How many tricks do you have? Do you know?"
"This...but I really didn't plagiarize."
"Then prove it to me!"
Wanyan Zhen put down the teacup in her hand with a bang, held her crutches and said calmly: "I am almost 70 years old, and I have lived all my life. No one has really written a poem for me. How about you reluctantly write one to praise me?
, also give me, an old man, some face?"
Wanyan Kang felt a headache.
Of course the old lady wanted to test him, but it didn't matter what question she asked. Lyrical description of scenery was not a problem at all. She just copied another song, but her question was too tricky...
Yin...an old lady with high status?
It really stumped him.
He scratched his head subconsciously.
Wanyanzhen's mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she stared at Wanyankan closely.
Although she is older and has silver hair, her eyes are still majestic when she opens and closes her eyes. The crutch in her hand is swaying slightly, and she is ready to wave it down at any time.
Da Xingguo and Ma Liang hurriedly sat upright with their heads lowered, fearing that they would be in trouble.
Time passed little by little.
Daxingguo, Ma Liang, and Pusan Jiujin's breathing gradually became faster, and they clearly heard the old lady's low snort.
Da Xingguo turned his head slightly, not daring to look any further.
The old lady was angry, Brother Kang would definitely give her a beating.
In the past, the four of them often suffered from the crutches of the old lady.
Thinking of the crutch, Da Xingguo's face turned pale. It was a crutch made of iron core wood!
In fact, to Wan Yanzhen, it doesn't matter whether Wan Yan Kang is talented or not. In the past, when Wan Yan Kang behaved badly, she still doted on him and protected him, but she has a strong personality and cannot bear to be deceived by others!
Toot!
Wanyanzhen's crutch hit the ground, making a dull sound.
Wan Yankang raised his head and saw the stormy look on the old lady's face. He was startled and quickly smiled and said: "Yes, big mom!"
"A wise and virtuous ancestor, he holds the power of the government and has an honorable appearance. He knows how to taste silk food with great talent, and appreciates the elegant sheng and xiao. He is doted on by his children and grandchildren, and he is more obedient when he throws nine pounds of glue. He knows people well, is responsible for housekeeping, and witnesses the prosperity of a wealthy family.
Glory."
He also had an idea, remembering that he saw someone reciting a seven-character poem by Jia Mu on a forum, so he slightly changed it and read it smoothly.
Jia Mu in Dream of Red Mansions, the ancestor of the Jia family, one of the four major families, looks a bit like Wan Yanzhen.
Wanyanzhen was stunned when she heard this.
Did this brat really do it? Does it feel good?
Wanyanzhen recited it silently without saying anything, feeling very satisfied in her heart.
Especially the last sentence, "Know people well, take charge of household affairs, and witness the ups and downs of a wealthy family" really touched her, and it simply spoke to her heart.
Her eyes were bright and her expression was filled with emotion.
Her husband died early in the past, leaving behind a son and two daughters.
The only heir, Pu Sanliang, was born with a thunderbolt personality. He was reckless and violent. He had no problem charging into battle and leading troops in battles. However, he was a weakling when he participated in the open and secret fights in the court.
After so many years, if my mother Wan Yanzhen hadn't worked hard and supported her behind the scenes, Pu Sanliang would not have known how he died, let alone later being awarded the title of Lord Ji Guo due to his military exploits.
Unexpectedly, Pu Sanliang followed his mother's order to marry and take concubines, and continued to spread his branches and leaves. Although he gave birth to many children, he did not expect that Pu San Jiu Jin, as the legitimate son, had the same virtues as his father.
In the future, how to stir up the power of the Pusan family?
The old lady has always been disappointed and anxious.
Of course, this does not affect her doting on her grandson.
Wanyanzhen sat there in silence for a long time, then suddenly waved to Wanyankang.
This flattery should be okay, right? Are you still not satisfied?
Wanyan Kang stood up hesitantly and walked over slowly.
But the old lady reached into her arms and groped for a while, took out a milky white jade plaque, and silently stuffed it into Wanyan Kang's hand.
When he got closer, Wan Yankang realized that the old lady looked a little teary at the moment. He was slightly startled, but before he could react, the old lady sighed lowly, said nothing more, only patted his shoulder lightly, and turned around.
