Jiao Yong on the side stopped talking. He stared at Man Bao, then at Bai Shan, and finally turned back to look at Ji Hao.
After a while, Wei Ting closed his mouth, swallowed and said: "Peonies full of surprises must be covered with gauze. At that time, Mrs. Ji didn't like the trouble of covering pots one by one, so she had two of them covered.
A strip of silk satin directly covered all the peonies on display."
He said: "Princess Yizhou only brought a pot of peonies, and the peonies were covered with silk and satin. After they were brought directly to the field, as soon as the silk and satin was opened, Princess Yizhou's face immediately turned gloomy, and she couldn't say a word for most of the day.
Didn’t say anything.”
Because white peonies are cheap, and Manbao said when she sold them, she had many pots.
Therefore, although each family felt that it was of excellent quality and could be taken out to reward everyone, it was not necessary to cover it with gauze, so the servants carried it in openly.
And like the Wei Zi that Mrs. Wei brought, the Yao Huang that Mrs. Huang brought, and the various peonies that the other ladies brought that they thought were rare, they were all covered with gauze.
Originally, the Princess of Yizhou only brought a pot of peonies, and everyone thought it was some kind of exquisite product. Who knew that when she opened it, it turned out to be a white peony that most people had, and its quality was not even comparable to that of several of them.
Wei Ting said: "The reason why we met Bai Erlang on the road was because Princess Yizhou's car crashed on the road and almost hit Qi Jue and Bai Erlang. Obviously, she was very angry."
Man Bao frowned.
Ji Hao looked at her and asked, "Are you crazy? Why did you provoke Princess Yizhou?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "We didn't provoke her."
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, "It was her servants who bullied others too much. The pot of white peonies in her hand was the first pot of flowers that Man Bao wanted to sell. Originally, Man Bao only planned to sell that pot. Humph, who
Knowing that her servants had directly robbed it, I gave her sixteen taels of silver."
At this time, not only Wei Ting, but also Ji Hao and Jiao Yong couldn't help but open their mouths and asked in surprise: "So is that why you sold out twenty pots of white peonies?"
Man Bao nodded, "Yes, I think Bai Mudan is destined to be a lot of us."
The three of them were speechless.
Wei Ting struggled and said: "You are not afraid..."
"I'm not afraid," Man Bao said, "This is Anyang County. Do you know who the boss of Anyang County is?"
Wei Ting hesitated and said: "Isn't he the King of Yizhou?"
Jiao Yong said: "Master Huang?"
Man Bao shook his head, "It's the Tang County Magistrate."
Ji Hao sneered: "He is just a county magistrate."
Man Bao looked at him and sneered slightly: "He is the official of Anyang County. Even if His Majesty comes here, he still has to obey the county magistrate."
Ji Hao and others stopped talking.
What Man Bao said is naturally wrong, but it is also correct.
As a parent official, the Tang County magistrate can indeed control the emperor and his majesty when it comes to the affairs of the emperor and his ministers.
Ji Hao felt that he could not speak to her, so he could only say: "You can say this again when the people from the palace come to the door."
Man Bao snorted. Since she dared to do this, she naturally calculated that Tang County Magistrate would not let people from the Yizhou Palace bully her.
At this time, Mrs. Tang hurriedly returned home with others. She went straight to the study to find Magistrate Tang, "Your little friend has tricked us all, especially our husband and wife, but she has tricked us terribly."
Magistrate Tang said without raising his head: "This is impossible, who can trick you?"
Mrs. Tang stretched out her hand to pinch his ears. After thinking about it, she put it down again and said softly, "Mr. sir, I have indeed been tricked."
Magistrate Tang shook his head, finally raised his head, took her hand and said seriously: "Speak carefully."
When Mrs. Tang saw that he was finally willing to listen to her seriously, she hummed, "She doesn't know how to trick people yet. You don't know how badly she tricked us today."
But after saying that, thinking of Princess Yizhou's dark face today, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud, and sat directly in Magistrate Tang's arms, smiling: "But, today we finally watched a show
It’s a good show, although we were tricked, it’s not painful or itchy, at most it’s embarrassing, but Princess Yizhou was tricked badly.”
Magistrate Tang, who was holding his wife, was stunned and asked quickly: "Did they trick Princess Yizhou? How?"
Mrs. Tang glanced at him and asked, "Why are you so nervous? You might as well not be nervous at all."
County Magistrate Tang stroked his forehead and said, "My little ancestor, please tell me quickly, who are they? Who is Princess Yizhou?"
"Who else could she be? She's just a princess," Mrs. Tang got up from his arms and sneered, "She's from a small family."
Magistrate Tang: "...Aren't our Tang family just a small family compared to your Wang family?"
"You are not," Mrs. Tang looked at him and said with a smile, "You are the son-in-law of the Wang family."
Magistrate Tang was really worried to death. There was a sworn enemy between them. What he was most afraid of was that the two children would offend the Yizhou Prince's Mansion without knowing the truth. By then...
Seeing that he was really anxious, Mrs. Tang then told Manbao's flower sales two days ago and what happened today, "The Princess of Yizhou left early in the morning. I felt something was wrong, so I sent someone to check. Many ladies were there.
I went to check it out, and guess what the result was?"
When Magistrate Tang heard that it was about selling flowers, he felt a little curious and asked, "What's going on?"
"It turns out that the pot of flowers in the hands of Princess Yizhou was also sold by Manbao," Mrs. Tang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I mean, these flowers look so similar, I suspect they are from the same person.
"The little girl probably only planned to sell one pot at first, so she took it to the street the first day and asked for 600 taels, and the next day she took it to the door of Yizhou Prince's Palace to sell it."
Mrs. Tang sighed and said: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with me. At that time, I said that Princess Yizhou liked peonies. I guess that child was thinking about earning money from Princess Yizhou at that time.
Money."
In vain, she thought she wanted to have a relationship, but in the end it was just to make money.
She really has money in her eyes, but she is so cute.
"There was a steward in the palace who took a fancy to the potted flower and bought it immediately. He only gave Man Bao a money bag. I heard that the two sides almost started fighting at that time."
Magistrate Tang asked: "What then?"
Mrs. Tang smiled meaningfully and said: "Then Man Bao said that the steward had a relationship with the pot of flowers and sold him. There were sixteen or three coins in the purse, and then she bought twenty pots of peonies in one go.
, a pot of sixteen taels is sold for takeout, do you think she is bad or not?"
Magistrate Tang asked, "Zhou Man doesn't seem like someone who knows how to gossip with others. How did you learn about the conversation?"
"It's the palace, as long as you inquire carefully, you can always find out."
Magistrate Tang thought thoughtfully, "Is it so easy to pry open the mouths of people in the palace?"
"It depends on who the person is. A group of servants who watch the door usually don't say anything about giving some money or promising some benefits. Whatever they know, there is nothing they can't ask about."
Seeing that Magistrate Tang was so quiet, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but push him, "You don't want to check something in the Yizhou Palace, do you?"
Magistrate Tang came to his senses and said with a smile: "No, the palace has not asked me to investigate any cases recently."
Mrs. Tang thought about it and no longer paid attention to this matter, but asked: "By the way, you have to find that little friend of yours to seek justice from me. I am so good to her, but she even cheated on me."
County Magistrate Tang said: "I think you are enjoying it...Oh, okay, okay, if I talk about her, I will talk about her, I will definitely talk about her."
