Prime Minister Wang Zhenxi ordered someone to send a message, saying that he would accept Yin Le as his adopted daughter, and that the emperor would reward Shou Tou with two maids as his wives and concubines. The old man did not dare to offend Wang Zhenxi, so he could only say that he would choose an auspicious day before signing the contract.
The messenger was very arrogant, and seeing the old man's excuse, he said maliciously: "Everyone knows that Liu Qinglin is a smart man, so he is not confused now that he is old, right? Even if you are rich in the world, you are just a commoner, so what?
Can you go against the Prime Minister and the Emperor? You should just obey the orders obediently."
Yin Le just sent Shoutou to the south room. He felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Passing by the main hall, when he heard what the messenger said to the old man, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Oh? Then go back and tell the emperor and you
Mr. Prime Minister, we ordinary people do not dare to climb high, and I will not enter the palace. You don’t have to come in the future, lest we, a small family, taint your noble status."
The person who conveyed the message was the second steward in the prime minister's house. He was the only one who showed his face to others. No one dared to speak to him like this, so why bother. Now he was here to convey the message, and what he conveyed was the words of the current prime minister. It was already a big mistake for them not to pay homage to him.
He was disrespectful and dared to speak arrogantly, which really made him angry. However, no matter how angry he was, he did not dare to lose his temper at Long Yinle, because after all, he was the emperor's favorite. In the future, if the emperor favored him, he would most likely be granted the title of concubine.
. Then he held back his breath and said: "The word has been transmitted. It depends on the old man whether he wants the whole family to be safe or if he wants to kill everyone."
The old man somewhat blamed Yin Le for speaking out, and quickly apologized, "Second housekeeper, please don't be angry. Young people are ignorant and made rude remarks. I will teach her well later."
"The word has been conveyed, please excuse me!" The second housekeeper snorted and walked away.
He is so arrogant and has the demeanor of Wang Zhenxi. He really has what kind of slave there is like a master.
The old man glanced at Yin Le worriedly, and couldn't bear to blame him. He just sighed and said, "You don't have to ask about this matter. I will do everything I can to take care of it for you. I won't send you to the palace except in case of emergency."
Yin Le smiled slightly, "Don't you always dislike me? When I leave, you will be sincere."
The old man said angrily: "Who doesn't like you? Do I have time to argue with you? Well, you can go, I am upset when I see you."
Yin Le said: "There's nothing to worry about. Just go to the store and do your business."
The old man hummed, stepped out of the threshold, looked back at her and said, "Then Chen Pingyuan is here, do you want to meet him?"
Yin Le said: "You can just send this kind of person away casually, there is no need to make friends with him. The more polite you are to him, the more he will bully you. If you just leave him alone, or let him go for a few days to absorb his arrogance, he will
Then you know how to be a good person with your tail between your legs."
The old man did not expect that she would have such an opinion, and he couldn't help but feel happy. This woman was hundreds of times stronger than any of his descendants. It would be a good thing if she could be their grandson's daughter-in-law with peace of mind. The old man felt happy and sad at the same time.
, his expression changed several times, he called the boy, ordered someone to prepare the sedan, and then went out of the store.
Yin Le originally wanted to go out for a walk, but at the moment he had no idea. So he went back to his room and ordered Xiaoxiang to prepare some delicious food for dinner when Shou Tou came back.
The old man went to the General's Mansion. He had met Murong Shang several times, but it was hard to say that he had any friendship. He knew that Murong Shang was on good terms with the regent. If he was willing to help, he could take him into the palace to ask the regent in person, and then let Murong Shang help.
Just say a few words, fearing that things will turn around.
When Murong Shang returned from the morning, he heard that the housekeeper said that Liu Qinglin wanted to see him. He was slightly surprised. Although he had met him several times, the two of them could not be said to be friends. He suddenly came here today. He didn't know what was going on.
He asked: "What does he want to see the general for?"
The housekeeper said: "I didn't say anything, but my expression was quite solemn. I think the matter is not simple."
A man dressed as a guard walked up to Murong Shang and whispered a few words. Murong Shang was stunned, "Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true!" said the guard.
Murong Shang pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor actually went to the Liu family in person? The Liu family is the richest in the world. Could it be that he went for the Liu family's wealth? If Liu Qinglin is really used by the emperor, this matter will be really difficult." He raised his head.
He glanced at the guard and said, "Why don't you report this matter immediately?"
The guard said: "I have never met the emperor, and the emperor and the prime minister paid a private visit incognito today. In addition, they were sitting in the sedan chair and only glanced at them when they got off the sedan chair. Therefore, I was not sure about their identities at that time. I was accompanying them just now."
The general entered the palace and took a look at the emperor from a distance. He felt that they were somewhat similar, but he was not sure. Just now the housekeeper said that Liu Qinglin came to visit, so he was somewhat sure about his humble position."
"You have never met the emperor, but you have met Prime Minister Wang Zhenxi. Could it be that you don't recognize Wang Zhenxi?" Murong Shang said lightly.
The guard said: "Wang Zhenxi has friends all over the world, and many wealthy businessmen in the capital have contacts with him. Therefore, at that time, the humble official just thought that he came to visit Liu Qinglin, and did not think anything of it."
Murong Shang suddenly remembered Liu Qinglin's granddaughter-in-law, the woman who broke into the palace that day. He linked the two things together, and he was a little worried. Could that woman be the emperor's spy? First, she entered the palace and made a fuss.
, then disappeared, and now Liu Qinglin is here. I think the Liu family may have really been used by the emperor.
"Zhu Ming, I will go change my clothes first. Go in and tell Liu Qinglin. I will be here soon!" Murong Shang said to the guard.
The guard responded, "Yes, I'll be on my way right away!"
The old man sat anxiously in the hall of the General's Mansion, having no time to admire the furnishings in the mansion. He was only thinking about what words he should use to impress Murong Shang and let him take him to see the Regent.
"Mr. Liu, our general has returned from court. Now go change your clothes. Please wait here. The general will be here soon!" Zhu Ming said.
The old man stood up quickly and saluted: "Thank you, guard Zhu."
Seeing him salute, Zhu Zhu was a little embarrassed, "Oh, don't salute me. You are already so old. Just sit down. The general will be here soon."
"Yes, yes!" the old man said. He sat down again, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, and took a sip. However, he frowned slightly because the tea was too cold. He had been waiting for half an hour, and the cup of tea had already become cold.
, because he was so anxious that he actually ignored the beautiful tea around him, and he couldn't help feeling a little upset.
"Come here, help the old man change the tea." Murong Shang arrived just in time and saw the old man's expression. He was a tea maker and had very high requirements for tea. Knowing that he was dissatisfied, he ordered someone to change it immediately.
.
When the old man heard the sound, he quickly raised his head and saw that it was Murong Shang. He saluted and said, "I have seen the general!"
Murong Shang hurried over, raised the old man's hand, and said with a warm smile: "No need to be polite, old man, please sit down!"
The old man said: "General, sit down first!"
Murong Shang did not refuse, he sat down first and asked with a smile, "What kind of wind brought Mr. Liu here today!"
The old man did not laugh, but knelt on the ground with a thud.
