As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere inside and outside the building became extremely tense. What kind of object caused such a big change in the Li family?
The identity of this Li family is mysterious. It is said that she was a daughter of a famous family who had no choice but to marry Li Shou because her family was in trouble. There are not many rumors from the outside world. Only the people in Prince Yong's Palace understand that the real backbone of Prince Yong's Palace is actually Li Shou's wife.
This person's name is Nangong Chuxin. He is extremely intelligent, good at thinking, and good at observing people's hearts. He helps Li Shou make plans behind the scenes and works hard. Unfortunately, Li Shou is too playful, and even though his wife is very cunning, she cannot help him in the capital.
Having established a firm foothold, I now follow my husband into Yangzhou City, also wanting to seek peace.
Nangong Chuxin is the support of Prince Yong's Palace. Her words are regarded as imperial edicts in the Palace, and even Li Shou will not have the slightest objection.
It's just that Xia Shang didn't know about it, so he was a little surprised by the current situation.
After closing the door, Nangong's face softened slightly and he looked at Xia Shang cautiously: "Young master said before that the items in the first brocade box can be used for five years, and the items in the second brocade box can be used for fifty years?"
"That's right!"
"If it is true as the young master said, it is indeed the ultimate treasure. But..."
"Inside the brocade box is a six-character motto that I gave to His Royal Highness Prince Yong, which can resolve Madam's worries."
After hearing this, Li Shou on the side really found a note in the brocade box. He took it out and read it, and couldn't help but read: "Be loyal to..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chu Xin covered his mouth and whispered: "Don't say it out loud!"
Li Shou really didn't understand where the tension at this moment came from. When he was about to ask, Chu Xin said: "Your Highness, please be at ease and leave it to me to deal with it."
Although Li Shou didn't know it, he trusted Chu Xin very much and silently gave the note to his wife.
Chu Xin unfolded the note, and the simple six words on it made her expression change drastically. She glanced at Xia Shang, and she felt as if she was looking at a monster.
Xia Shang still stood calmly, his expression unchanged, and he raised his hands to bow: "Madam, do you accept this gift or not?"
Chu Xin didn't even think about it: "I accepted it for Your Highness! I wonder what you want in exchange for it?"
gentlemen?
Madam actually called this man Mr.?
Li Shou was getting more and more puzzled. Regardless of what was special about the contents of the brocade box, the lady took a new look at this dude after just reading those six words? She also called him "sir"? What a strange and strange thing it was.
Be sure to ask for clarification later!
Xia Shang made up his mind and said with a smile: "Ten thousand taels of gold, a white horse and a sedan chair for eight people."
…
While there was a conversation inside the building, there was also a lot of discussion outside the building.
No one has been in there for so long before. What on earth was Xia Shang talking to His Highness King Yong inside? Could there be a conflict inside?
After all, the two have a long-standing grudge!
And why is it closed?
What is so shameful about it?
There are too many questions that cannot be answered clearly, so I feel impatient to ask everyone to wait.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Li Shou personally led Xia Shang out. Both of them were smiling and very easy-going. The friendly looks between their eyebrows seemed to be good friends of PY who had been trading for many years.
What's happening here?
How could Xia Shang and King Yong appear in front of the world in this form?
How could two people who were supposed to be incompatible reconcile so quickly?
Is Xia Shangxian's treasure too good?
But the Xia family has been uprooted and is penniless. How can there still be treasures? Could it be a family heirloom that has not been discovered?
Yes! That must be the case!
Just when everyone was guessing, King Yong said loudly: "Come, go to the treasury and get ten thousand taels of gold for Mr. Xia. Then have a few servants prepare an eight-carriage dajiao and a white horse for Mr. Xia's dispatch!"
…
At sunset, the last ray of light hangs over the city, and stars are already looming in the sky, as if they are birds waiting to be released from their cages, eager to appear in front of the world.
Dusk has ended, and the setting sun is in danger.
The man waiting at the door of Qin Mansion seemed calm, but in fact he was heartbroken.
The three-day period has come, and there is no gold, no sedan, and not even a trace of that dandy!
The two stone lions standing majestically in front of the mansion, the gilt characters on the plaque are shining brightly, and there are prosperous and grand scenes everywhere. Only the woman in white who is leaning on the doorpost is looking forward to it, her face is lifeless and pale.
His face was dark blue, and his little hand hidden at his waist was tightly clasped on the doorpost, and blood oozed between his fingers without realizing it.
"Believe me, within three days, I will take you home with an eight-carat sedan chair."
These were the words of the ruthless lover to him. He couldn't forget them no matter how hard he wanted to.
"I said, if you betray me, I will die in front of you!"
"Why aren't you here yet?"
"..."
Seeing her daughter looking foolishly at the street, Qin's mother's heart ached, and she sighed in her heart: "What an injustice!"
"Rou'er! Aren't you still determined?" Qin's father couldn't help but sigh. His daughter was so infatuated and he didn't know whether to be happy or to sigh!
"Dusk has come, he will not come!"
"Rou'er, how easy is it to make ten thousand gold in three days? What's more, that guy didn't even think about coming to pick you up."
"No, no, he won't lie to me."
"Madam, please don't wait any longer."
"Huairou, your fate with the Xia family is over. When my father goes to Yulin County tomorrow to ask that guy to write a letter of divorce, don't think about it anymore."
"He...why should he divorce me? Since ancient times, there are seven ways to divorce a wife: unfilial piety, talkativeness, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, illness, and theft. Which one has my daughter committed? Why should he divorce me?
"
"Why did I raise such a stupid daughter!" Qin Feng finally couldn't help it, "Someone, kidnap the young lady back to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, at the end of the long street, a flash of bright red suddenly appeared under the last ray of sunlight, and there was the faint sound of gongs and drums.
"Miss!" Xiaoyue was impatient and immediately rushed to the street and screamed, "The sedan chair! It's the sedan chair! Miss, the sedan chair is here!"
Qin Huairou's body was a little stiff, she slowly wiped away the tears she was holding, and took a closer look. She was so far away that she still couldn't believe it.
But as the sedan chair got closer and closer, the sound of festive gongs and drums became clearer and clearer, and the broken heart instantly healed and started beating again.
At this moment, tears were streaming down my face, how could I hold it back?
"He didn't lie to me!"
It really is a big sedan with eight carriages!
Sure enough, I came three days ago!
He also rides a white horse with graceful demeanor.
People on both sides of the street were attracted by the sound of gongs and drums, and soon a crowd formed. They all followed the white horse, laughing, shouting, and making noises in a lively manner...
Dusk seemed to have returned to noon, and everyone's enthusiasm was stronger than the noon sun. This scene, in Qin Huairou's eyes, was like a baby in her mother's arms, which warmed her heart.
When the team arrived in front of the Qin Mansion, Xia Shang dismounted from his horse, clasped his fists and bowed: "Xia Shang, the young master of the Xia Family Winery, is here for an appointment. This is ten thousand taels of gold, please see it before your father-in-law."
After saying that, several servants from Prince Yong's Mansion carried two boxes of gold and placed them at the steps of Qin Mansion. They opened the boxes, and golden light suddenly shone, causing shouts of surprise from all around.
Xia Shang did not look at Jin Zi, his eyes never left the wife God had given him. He saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, her pale cheeks, and the blood oozing from her fingertips...
Feeling pity in his heart for a moment, he stepped forward and held the other person's little hand, whispering affectionately: "Madam, let's go home." (To be continued)
