Perhaps Du Shi was bored after Jiang Sujin's family left, so he often sent people over in the past two days to ask Chu Yunli to take the child over to say hello.
Chu Yunli ignored it. Even if the two children knew about it, they did not want their mother to go. It seemed that the medicine in the incense burner was not in vain. It was actually a medicine that made people easily irritable and angry. After burning it,
You can't see it and it's not harmful to your body.
Of course, she didn't let them go alone, and arranged a full schedule of homework for them every day.
Sure enough, Marquis Chengen's carriage came back within two days. He was indeed as seriously ill as he had been in his previous life, and was unconscious when he got home.
When Marquis Chengen returned to his residence, the whole family had to go to the door to pick them up. But it was much deserted now. The two concubines Chu Yunli did not have anyone to call them, nor did the concubines in the main courtyard call them.
Mrs. Du took her mother and son with her.
Seeing the unconscious Marquis Chengen, Mrs. Du was so frightened that she almost lost her balance. Her hands and feet were all cold. She asked the attendant beside her, "What's wrong with the Marquis? He was fine when he went there. He hasn't been alive for only three months."
Why are you so sick?"
Chu Yunli followed his entourage all the way to the main hospital, and then found Doctor Gu. After looking at it, he shook his head and said, "Master Hou is too ill, just leave it to fate."
When Marquis Chengen came back from an errand, he was seriously ill and fell into a coma. The emperor in the palace soon found out and sent an imperial doctor, but the result was still the same. He resigned himself to fate. Even if he woke up, he could only take good care of himself.
Subconsciously, I will never be able to do errands anymore.
Along with the imperial doctor, there was a nanny in her forties. Seeing a few scattered people in front of the bed, she frowned and said, "It's better to send a message asking Master Jin to come back. This won't work if... Master Jin is not here.
"
Mrs. Du responded with a pale face. Mammy glanced at Chu Yunli and looked away, not talking to her at all.
The attitude of the servants may represent the views of some masters. The queen in the palace does not like her sister-in-law very much. Chu Yunli knows it in her heart and does not expect others to treat her well. Anyway, she has protected her two children as they grow up.
, just let them understand the truth and behave themselves.
After sending the imperial doctor away, Mrs. Du was slumped down. She thought of something and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and get the second brother and his family back."
Someone immediately responded. She looked at Chu Yunli and said reproachfully, "If it hadn't been for you, my second son would still be at home observing his filial piety, and the Marquis would still have a capable person to help him when he comes back."
"It's none of my business if they leave," Chu Yunli spread her hands, "Didn't that mean that my second brother and my concubine ran away just to get rid of the dark knot? Mother, don't say I didn't remind you, those two people in my yard now
My aunt is at peace and doesn't go out for leisure. My second brother won't be able to enter my yard when he comes back. Now my father is seriously ill. If those beauties come to take care of him, if they hook up..."
Du Shi was angry, "You mentioned these things to disgust me on purpose, didn't you?"
"It's a fact! Are you afraid of being criticized if you do it?" Chu Yunli sneered, "You also know that this kind of thing is disgusting, and your husband must be even more disgusting."
Du Shi squinted her eyes and looked at her, "Sure enough, you used to pretend to be docile. Next month is the business election again." His words were threatening.
Merchant selection means that the person in charge of purchasing in the palace selects merchants from all over the country, and selects the best one to be the royal merchant, who is responsible for the expenses of the palace for a year. For example, the Qin family is responsible for fabrics. Since Tan Yueru
Marrying into the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion has never failed in ten years. Although there is not much money to be made as an imperial merchant to send things to the palace, and you even have to secretly pay for them, but when ordinary people take a look, the Qin family's fabrics are palace
Everyone in China is using it, so the quality must be good.
So, what I want is this name.
If she had been brainwashed by the maid, Tan Yueru might be anxious about using this threat, but when it fell on Chu Yunli, she didn't care so much.
The most important thing was to teach her children. Most of her thoughts were spent on her children. Two days later, a message came from the concierge. Someone wanted to see her at the door and claimed to be from the Qin family.
I haven't seen her in the past years, and even Tan Yueru is very grateful to the Qin family. Even if she is selected by the palace every year, she doesn't get any money. As for the fabrics, the fabrics from the Hou Mansion have always been sent to the Qin family's shop.
, all free of charge, after the shopkeeper delivers it to your door, you can take whatever you like.
Rather than treating Tan Yueru well, it is better to say that he wants to please the entire Hou family.
It was different from the previous life... If there was any change, it was that Chu Yunli drove the maid who was accompanying him as a dowry back to Qin's house.
The woman who came in was about thirty years old, with exquisite makeup and the luxury of a merchant. She wore several gemstone rings on her fingers, a large gold bracelet on her wrist, and her neck, head, and ears.
After entering the door, he looked around, "Fifth sister, what do you mean? Send the girl back without telling me, even if I come in, you have to notify me. Blocking me outside makes people see how embarrassing it is, and the serious in-laws of the Hou family cannot enter."
, it’s going to make people laugh to death.”
While talking, he flicked the handkerchief and said with a frown, "Fifth sister, the selection will be held in a few days. You have to help us then. Only when the Qin family is well, can you be well."
Seeing that she was standing tall and silent, Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Fifth sister, look at you, why are you unhappy?" He turned his eyes and said suddenly, "What do you want? You can tell me, as long as
If I can get it, I will definitely give it to you."
"Sister-in-law, is there anything else?" Chu Yunli asked quietly.
From the beginning to the end, no emotion such as worry was seen on Lu's face. There was only a false smile. You know, Tan Yueru was a newly widowed man, and the man had only died two months ago. Speaking of which, since Jiang Suyuan's death, Tan Yueru
After the family sent the funeral service to her door, they were surprised that they had not seen her in private.
Therefore, I feel that there is no need to have a good relationship with this sister. If Chu Yunli hadn't driven the girl back, I'm afraid Lu wouldn't have made this trip.
Lu was stunned. Chu Yunli picked up the teacup and said, "See you off."
The maid walked to Lu's side and said, "Madam, please."
Lu's face didn't look good, "I want to see Mrs. Hou."
"Sister-in-law, you are too worried. How can the noble Madam Hou see you?" Chu Yunli said in a calm tone, "You'd better not humiliate yourself."
"You..." Mrs. Lu frowned. She had met this sister-in-law occasionally before. She had always been gentle towards the Tan family and herself. This was the first time she had such a sharp and unceremonious attitude. "Where is the Qin family?
Didn't you do a good job? Fifth sister, even if you send me away, you can only remedy it by letting me know the reason."
Chu Yunli looked at her and said seriously, "Let those in the Qin family restrain themselves. If they make trouble outside in my name again, they will not be lenient if I find out."
Hearing this, Lu frowned and said, "Fifth sister, have I offended you in any way?"
Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense. A good person can change just because he wants to. I really didn't have this attitude towards her before.
The maid bowed and asked her to leave, but Lu ignored her. She sat on the chair and frowned in thought. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Fifth sister, our sending gifts to the Shangshu Mansion is really not... You also know that our family is just a merchant.
The adults above gave a hint that things must be prepared and sent. Although it seems that they want to please the imperial concubine, what can the Qin family do? Our money did not come from the strong wind. This is not about the selection being imminent, so give more gifts.
I hope so. This is also for you. If the Qin family was just an ordinary merchant, your life in the Hou Mansion would be even more difficult."
What about giving gifts to Shangshu Mansion?
It seems that the Qin family is very active in private, and the current situation in the court is complicated. Although the emperor has established a prince early, he is only in his forties. In addition to the prince, he has seven sons. The eldest son is Concubine Lin of the Shangshu Mansion.
out.
Chu Yunli didn't say anything, and the maid asked again, "Madam, please."
"Fifth sister, I have something to discuss with you." Lu looked at the maids in the room and said, "Let them go down, it's important."
"No need." Chu Yunli refused, "Sister-in-law, please come back."
Lu was displeased and took a few steps forward, walked to her side, and lowered her voice, "I heard that the Queen is choosing concubines and concubines for His Highness the Crown Prince. You are the Crown Prince's wife, and you can be considered the Queen's close sister. This
If you want to have a close relationship, you must be in-laws. Yujia is still young, so it is not suitable at all. Your niece is thirteen this year. We don’t want to have a concubine. An aunt should still be fine. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half, in the future,
You and we will be able to rely on each other. Merchants are always low-level and look down upon, but if the girl from the Qin family gives birth to sons and grandsons, it will be really different. If we can take a step forward..."
"Sister-in-law, it's faster to go back and dream." Chu Yunli sneered, "Get out! From now on, if anyone from the Qin family comes to visit, ignore them."
The mother-in-law had already come closer and bowed to invite her. She looked like she was about to stretch out her hand to drag her away. This was really not polite, she wanted to break off the relationship. Lu was surprised and said, "This is a good thing, don't be stupid!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the mother-in-law saw Chu Yunli's cold eyes, stretched out her hand and took the person out.
The room fell silent, Chu Yunli frowned and thought deeply. The Tan family was bolder than she thought, but Tan Yueru couldn't remember what happened after her death. The Tan family in her memory had not changed. They had always been imperial merchants.
Marquis Chengen has not woken up. She was talking to her two children that day. The maid could not come in. She reported, "Madam, the Queen is worried about Lord Marquis, so she sent someone to deliver medicine. She also announced that Mrs. Hou will be admitted tomorrow."
I’ll see you in the palace. I also said you would like to come along.”
It was indeed strange for the Queen to want to see her.
In the past, Mrs. Du disliked Tan Yueru's poor background and disliked bringing her into the palace. The Queen didn't even ask, which shows her attitude towards her direct sibling.
