Ma quickly stretched her neck, listened to several people talking about the past, and said bitterly: "No! Look at you like this, but Namaixiang has found a good family. You kid, if you had listened to your mother, you would have
We won’t end up like this!”
Zhao Ni paused, suddenly struggled out of Ma's hand, and whispered: "Mom, if you still want me to live, don't worry about the future. I want to go back to Zheng's house now!"
Ma was about to curse, but she was afraid that Zhao Ni would not be able to think about it, so she could only say: "Then I will send you there, but if you promise me, you will stay there for a while, while you are young, and you can find me again, but
Don't let the Zheng family hold you back! Nizi, do you hear me?"
While Ma was nagging, Zhao Ni had already taken off Ma's arm and whispered: "Mom, please go back first. My father-in-law has already done that. Yesterday you went to make a big fuss again. My father-in-law will see you again."
, what should I do if something happens again? Don’t worry, I’ll go back after staying for a while!”
When Ma saw that Zhao Ni agreed so happily this time, she was afraid of being pushed too hard. Zhao Ni couldn't think about it anymore, so she had to say: "Then you can stay for a while and then go home. We have an agreement. If you agree, I will
That’s why I let you go!”[
Zhao Ni nodded with a pale face and said: "I understand, mother, you can go back!"
Ma just left and passed by the door of Zhao's house. She didn't know what she muttered in secret, but in the end she didn't dare to make a fuss.
Zhao Ni stood there for a while and then walked towards the house.
Liu San was guarding the gate. When he saw Zhao Ni coming towards her like a ghost with a pale face, he frowned and stopped her.
"I want to go in and congratulate Mai Xiang!" Zhao Ni whispered.
Liu San frowned and said: "From the Xian Dou family, we are all fellow villagers. I also know that Xian Dou disappeared all of a sudden and you are suffering. But what does this have to do with the Zhao family? I advise you to leave obediently.
, it’s someone’s happy day, don’t come and make a fuss!”
Zhao Ni suddenly laughed softly: "Brother Liu San, do you think I'm here to cause trouble? Am I that unpopular?"
Liu San refused to let Zhao Ni in, saying in a low voice: "I want to eat too, from the Xiandou family, so don't embarrass me. After today, you can come anytime you want, okay?"
Zhao Ni sighed quietly and whispered: "I really just came to say congratulations to Mai Xiang!"
Liu San still refused to let her in, but Zhao Ni stayed at the door and refused to leave.
In the main room, Jin Yu was smiling from ear to ear as she looked at the room full of betrothal gifts. She was getting engaged today and did not invite anyone else. Li Lao'er's family came out, including Xu Ting and Huangfu Xin, so Chu Yiqing didn't have to hide it.
While talking, a room full of people were chatting lively in the main room when they heard sounds outside. Looking out of the main room, they happened to see Zhao Ni struggling at the door.
"Why is this kid here again!" Jin Yu said displeased, but was afraid of letting Liu Yi see the joke. Just as she was about to go out, she saw Mai Xiang walking in front of her from the next room.
When Mai Xiang was in the house that day, it was not that she had not heard what Ma said, especially the words about the gap between cousins, which made her feel distressed. She also did not expect that Yu Dou would die so early. Who knew what Zhao Ni would do?
Where is the widow!
Mai Xiang came forward, stood in the door, and asked: "Sister Nizi, are you okay?" Seeing Mai Xiang come out, Zhao Ni finally had a smile on her face, and said to Mai Xiang through the door: "I heard you are engaged.
I’m here to congratulate you and meet you!”
Mai Xiang was startled and whispered: "Thank you!"
Zhao Ni seemed to feel relieved now. She pulled on her half-worn gown and said, "Then I'm going home. I want to go back to see my baby!"
Mai Xiang bit her lip and wanted to stop Zhao Ni, but in the end she didn't.
Zhao Ni turned around and walked away with a smile on her face.
Mai Xiang stood there in a daze, always feeling that her heart was blocked, a little uncomfortable and transformed into a zombie.[
At this moment, Jin Yu came out of the house and whispered: "What day is it today? What are you doing out here? Come in and stay there to make people laugh!"
Mai Xiang turned around and whispered: "Mom, can't we help Sister Nizi? Look at her like this..."
Jin Yu sighed and said: "You think I don't feel sorry for her? But you don't know who your aunt is. If you let her get involved, will our family's life be good? I went to bed with your father last night
Let’s discuss it and send ten taels of silver to Nizi, that’s all our family can help!”
Mai Xiang could only nod, lowered her head and walked along the wall and entered her room.
The originally lively atmosphere was somewhat chilled out by the appearance of Zhao Ni. Mrs. Huangfu quickly smoothed things over and told her about the large house of the Huangfu family that had been acquired in the capital. When Huangfu heard this, he burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law, did our family really buy it?" Huangfu Xin grabbed the old lady Huangfu's hand and said.
Only then did Mrs. Huangfu realize something, and said quickly: "I bought it back, but so many years have passed, and things have changed. Xin'er, if you want to go back and have a look, you can come with me that day, but you can
Don't have any other thoughts. Now you have settled down in Shangjia Village. The fifth child has made great progress in recent years, and Yao'er is also obedient. Your family's life is no worse than anyone else's. You..."
"Sister-in-law, look where you are going. I was just excited when I heard that our family had bought it. I have lost my heart over the years. Now I am almost 50 years old. Why bother? I still have to worry about it.
If you despise Lao Wu, it would be great if Lao Wu doesn't despise me for being older!" Huangfu laughed heartily.
As soon as Huangfu said this, everyone was happy. Over the years, Wu Laowu has become more and more capable. Now he is in charge of the rented land in Zhaojiacun and Liangjiatun. He can earn at least twenty taels a year.
He earns more money than Huangfu Xin can earn from teaching. Now that he has made money, he is energetic. He looks younger than those in the past when he stayed at home and ate and drank for free. But Huangfu Xin is getting older after all.
, there are more wrinkles on his face. He was originally older than Wu Laowu, but now standing together, they really look like two mothers!
Huangfu Xin is now in a good mood and is able to laugh at himself. Mrs. Huangfu is relieved. The two of them talk about the old objects in the old house. Aunt Ju who is listening to it is even more fascinated.
Mai Xiang's marriage was settled in this way. Chu Yiqing stayed at home for another two days and finally received the 800-mile express from Li Huang, saying that Rao Guo had given up the eastern part of Dongcha'er Grassland.
When they came out, the garrison in Lucheng had moved a hundred miles westward.
Now that the matter is settled, Chu Yiqing is ready to return to the capital. After all, Blessing is still young. Although she knows that there will be no danger in the care of Concubine Qing and the care of Li Huang, she still misses the child after all.
When the Zhao family saw her leaving, although they were reluctant to leave, they also knew that Chu Yiqing couldn't help it now, so they didn't stop her. They wanted to pretend to be some Chu Han specialties, but then they remembered that Chu Yiqing came back secretly this time.
He couldn't be too ostentatious, so he could only bring food for the road, and reluctantly sent the person out from the back mountain under the cover of night.
"Mom, Brother Zhao, Sister Jin Yu, Mai Xiang, you go back. I will take people to stay in Mingzhen for one night, find Liu Yi, and go on the road with Liu Yi tomorrow!" Chu Yiqing said.
With Fourteen and Fifteen escorting them, and with Dangui taking care of them, the Zhao family felt relieved and waved their hands. Although they were reluctant to part with them, they still urged Chu Yiqing to get on the road quickly, for fear that it would get later and the road would get darker and worse.
It's not easy to walk.
When the few people disappeared into the darkness and the clatter of horse hooves could no longer be heard, Jin Yu let Zhao Xiaomai hold the lantern, while he supported Mrs. Huangfu and walked home with Mai Xiang.
"Now that your sister has another child, she won't be able to come back safely for another three to five years!" Mrs. Huangfu sighed, "This time we are far away from your sister!"
Jin Yu sent Chu Yiqing away. She felt empty and uncomfortable, so she nodded without saying anything and the three of them walked home.
It's spring after all, and the wind blowing has warmth.
At this time, in the palace, the queen was said to be ill, but everyone became more and more worried, especially Concubine Rou. On this day, she actually sent her personal maid to summon the head of the internal affairs department to the palace.
Lander.
"See Concubine Rou," Eunuch Liu, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came in with his waist bowed, saluted Concubine Rou, and asked respectfully.
"Eunuch Liu, no courtesy!" Princess Rou quickly raised her hand to excuse herself.[
"I wonder what Concubine Rou's order was when she summoned the servants?" Eunuch Liu asked with a smile on his face.
Concubine Rou smiled slightly and said, "There is indeed something important!" After saying that, she winked at the maid next to her and asked people to go out and guard her.
When Eunuch Liu saw this battle, he knew that something was serious. He even lowered his eyes and eyebrows, and stood with his body bowed, as if he was listening attentively.
"Eunuch Liu, after all, we can be considered fellow villagers. I have not treated you poorly in the palace these years!" Princess Rou laid the groundwork.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly said: "I know, I am grateful to Concubine Rou for your support. If Concubine Rou has anything to do, just ask her!"
Concubine Rou nodded and asked: "Eunuch Liu, I have been short of money recently and want to borrow some money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Look..."
Eunuch Liu was shocked and said quickly: "Touchin Rou, the monthly schedule of the harem has been distributed. Didn't Princess Rou receive it in the palace? Which bold slave dared to swallow the money from Dowager Rou's palace?
Let me find out, and I won’t peel off his skin!”
In the imperial palace, the House of Internal Affairs manages the monthly calendar of each palace in the harem. At the beginning of each month, the House of Internal Affairs will send money to the harem for the daily expenses of the concubines in the harem.
Liu Li is the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and he is responsible for the money. Naturally, he knows that the money must be sent to Princess Rou's palace, so he deliberately said this to give Princess Rou a step down.
Concubine Rou's face suddenly turned red and she whispered: "I've received the monthly report, it's none of those minions' business!"
Only then did Liu Li calm down and asked: "Since I have received the monthly report, why did Princess Rou still... Could it be that you, Princess Rou, are in trouble?"
Princess Rou was speechless.
Originally, the money allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if not rewarded everywhere, would really be enough to live a luxurious life. However, a few days ago, since Concubine Wu died, Concubine Rou saw that she now had the highest status in the palace, and wanted to
Like a concubine, she bought people's hearts, so she gave a lot of rewards from various sources, which made her money tight. Originally, she could barely get by, but now the queen is checking things in various palaces and courtyards. She had a lot of things before.
All the things were stolen and pawned. Now I want to find money to redeem them, but I suddenly don’t have enough money.
She originally wanted Liu Li to use his authority to lend her money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' books to help with the emergency, but it was difficult to say so at this time.
Liu Li saw that Concubine Rou had not spoken, so he asked again: "Concubine Rou, are you a little inconvenient? If so, I still have some wages in my hand. If Concubine Rou doesn't mind it, I can spend it first."
I am afraid that under the position of slave, the wages are so pitiful that Princess Rou will look down upon me."
When Liu Li said this, Princess Rou couldn't open her mouth even more. She quickly smiled and said: "Eunuch Liu misunderstood. I heard that the Queen Mother intends to hand over everything in the harem to the Queen. She is checking the warehouse these days.
Maybe one day we will check the things sent to the inner palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just to remind Eunuch Liu, the accounts must be clear!"
Liu Li quickly replied: "Thank you, Princess Rou, for reminding me. Please rest assured, Princess Rou. I have been the housekeeper for more than ten years. I have recorded all the accounts. It is very clear and cannot be wrong!"
Concubine Rou nodded. She had nothing to say at this moment, so she could only say: "Okay, then you can go down!"
Liu Li quickly nodded his thanks and left.
After Liu Li left, Princess Rou's personal maid Yu Huan came in and asked quietly: "Miss, have you raised any money?"
Yuhuan didn't ask about it, but when she asked, Princess Rou became furious, threw the teacup on the ground, and said aggrievedly: "When others enter the palace, my family can help them outside the palace, but it's better for me to enter."
Over the years, every time I received a letter from my family, I was always asking for money, and now I am being insulted by a slave in Xiyin Kunlun!"
Yuhuan hurriedly knelt on the ground to pack the cups, fearing that the fragments would pierce Princess Rou again, and she was so frightened that she could not say a word.
Concubine Rou vented her anger and felt tired. She went to the inner room and was about to take a rest when she heard the report from the palace maid that Yingrun from Qiankun Palace asked to see her, so she had to cheer up.
"See Princess Rou, Princess Rou is auspicious!" Yingrun stepped forward and greeted her respectfully.
"Get up quickly, now everyone knows that Yingrun you are a celebrity in front of the Queen, and you are helping the Queen check the warehouse!" Princess Rou said with a smile, and asked someone to move a stool for Yingrun.
.
Yingrun has learned a lot of rules in the past few days since she entered the palace. She did not dare to do anything, so she thanked Concubine Rou for her kindness, and stood still and said respectfully: "It is the queen who expresses her love, and the queen is not feeling well, Yingrun
Runye will try to help the queen as much as possible!"
"How is the queen's health? Calculated, it seems to have been more than ten days, not a short time!" Princess Rou asked with a smile.
"I'm almost ready, but I still have some foundation. The Queen loves beauty and doesn't want to go out like this, so I'll just stay for two more days!" Yingrun quickly replied.
"The same goes for the queen. She has allergies on her face and body. She just doesn't want to let the emperor see it. We are all women, so what are we afraid of? After all, we are in the palace all the year round, and there are many secret recipes for beauty. Maybe the secret recipe in our palace can cure it.
What!" Princess Rou frowned.
Yingrun quickly smiled and said: "I have thanked Concubine Rou on behalf of the Empress. With the ghost doctor's hands here, your illness will be cured!"
Princess Rou nodded.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yingrun hurriedly got to the point: "Mother Princess Rou, today I have been ordered by the Queen to inspect the household items that Princess Rou brought out from the warehouse. Please forgive me for your understanding."
!”
Concubine Rou was shocked. Her palace was found so quickly? She quickly covered her head and said: "Oh, look, I'm not feeling well today. Why don't you go check other palaces first and come back another day?"
how?"
Yingrun then said: "I obey my orders! Madam Rou, you are not feeling well. Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Concubine Rou quickly waved her hand and said: "It's an old problem. I just need to lie down for a while and it will be fine!"
Yingrun quickly left.
After coming out of Princess Rou's palace, Yingrun did not go to any other palace, but went straight back to Qiankun Palace.
In the palace, Concubine Qing listened to Yingrun's report and nodded: "Concubine Rou's family can't rely on her and she has no heirs, so it's easy to handle. If you go today, she will probably rack her brains to think of something.
, secretly thinking of ways to prevent those things from coming back, even if you have money, you can’t come back, you understand?”
Yingrun nodded quickly.
Concubine Qing said again: "Yingrun, although you have been with your lady for so many years, your ability to do things is still far behind. Now that you are following me, you should learn more. When your lady comes back in the future, you
It might as well be of help!”
Yingrun responded quickly.
Two days later, Princess Rou finally raised some money and planned to have someone go outside to redeem the items. However, she did not expect that the jade ring turned out to be pale and came back empty-handed.
"What's wrong? Something went wrong?" Princess Rou asked quickly.
"Madam, the owner of the pawn shop said that all our things were bought by someone yesterday. He said that they were bought by a family named Yuan in the west of the city. My servant went to find the person named Yuan to see if there was anything we could do.
I bought it back again, but who knew that when I arrived at the house, the person named Yuan said that those things were from the palace, and asked the slave which palace they were from..." Yuhuan was so frightened that she could not speak.
"Idiot online game perverse act!" Princess Rou's eyes darkened, she immediately stood up and coldly ordered the nanny beside her, "You drag me down and open your mouth. You are really stupid. You can't even see this trick. You
And it will be delivered to your door automatically!”
Yuhuan shouted for mercy, but was still dragged out. However, Princess Rou fell slumped on the couch and was speechless for a long time.
I'm afraid that someone has already targeted her, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass this test!
On the second day, Yingrun went to Concubine Rou's chamber again, and Concubine Rou said directly: "Yingrun, I want to meet the Queen!"
Yingrun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I will report back to the Queen!"
Concubine Rou nodded, feeling exhausted mentally and physically.
On the second day, Yingrun took Princess Rou into the palace and sat outside the curtain.
"How are you feeling, Queen?" Princess Rou forced out a smile.
A figure in the curtain nodded.
Yingrun quickly said: "My wife also has some allergies in her throat, so it's not convenient for her to speak!"
Concubine Rou suddenly realized, but she could not say those words of begging for mercy while guarding Yingrun, so she could only say: "Queen, since your throat is uncomfortable, I say that you can listen, can you let someone
Retreat?"
She saw the figure in the curtain waving her hand, and Yingrun retreated.
Seeing that everyone had left, Concubine Rou took out her handkerchief and slowly wiped her tears and cried: "Queen, you come from a famous family. After you entered the palace, you had family to help you. Naturally, you don't understand that someone like me needs to do this."
It’s hard to take care of the family. In fact, these days, you have been checking the warehouse and checking the accounts with great fanfare. I know what you mean. I will make it clear today. I really let people take the things in the palace and sell them outside.
I believe that you have almost done the investigation now. In this case, let's speak openly. You are doing this just to establish prestige in the palace and to take the opportunity to control some people. This is why I am here today.
If you can let me go this time, I will try my best to stand on your side in this palace from now on!"
After Princess Rou finished speaking, she heard the figure in the curtain deliberately lower her voice and say: "It's not as much as possible, but absolutely!"
Concubine Rou nodded quickly: "Okay, as long as you don't investigate further, I will promise you anything!"
The figure in the curtain nodded.
Concubine Rou was relieved.
After Concubine Rou left, Yingrun came in. Concubine Qing raised her lips and sneered: "The next ones are Concubine Yu and Concubine Ying. Although they are from the five major families, they have to rely on Yiqing, but if they really
We are so determined to seize their lifeline!"
Yingrun nodded quickly.
While Concubine Qing was busy helping Chu Yiqing organize the harem, Chu Yiqing was tripped up by White Snake and Bai Yu in Mingzhen.
In the famous town, Chu Yiqing, with his face covered in white gauze, brought Fourteenth and Fifteenth, Dangui just entered the city gate and was about to join Liu Yi in Tiandi, when he was stopped by four people.
"Princess, the Holy Ancestor invites you!" the leader said coldly.
Chu Yiqing frowned, White Lady? She followed the man's gesture and saw White Lady with a cold face on the second floor railing between heaven and earth. Bai Yu stood next to her, looking at Chu Yiqing coldly and condescendingly.
.
What is supposed to come will always come, and it can be solved neatly once and for all! Chu Yiqing nodded and led the people into the world.
