Aunt Li is the biological mother of the remaining two children. She must be a very powerful person if she can give birth to two children in a row under the hands of little Du.
"Let her in."
The days have been too quiet recently, a little boring. Chu Yunli was in high spirits. The woman who came in was about twenty years old, wearing light green clothes, and looked extremely delicate.
After entering the door, he said to her, "Greetings to Mrs. Hou."
This title is quite interesting. Although Chu Yunli had to be granted the title of Madam Wu'anhou, people in the palace still called her the Crown Prince's Madam, or simply Madam. As time went by, many people forgot that she was still a first-grade imperial concubine.
"No need to be polite." When she stood up, Chu Yunli asked directly, "I heard that you want to see me for something?"
Aunt Li knelt down this time, "I would like to ask Madam to help my two poor children find a husband."
The room was quiet. Looking at the woman kneeling in front of him, Chu Yunli was very surprised, "Why are you looking for me? Even if my siblings don't agree, my father should also take care of the two children." Jiang Qi definitely didn't.
They may be allowed to grow into prodigal sons.
"If I'm not afraid of death, I don't believe in Madam." Aunt Li lay on the ground, bending her body in a beautiful arc, "Even if the Marquis seeks a wife, he will be killed by Madam in the end... I don't want to doubt Madam.
, but this is indeed a fact. Being able to serve Master Jin is a blessing that I have earned over several lifetimes. I shouldn’t expect more, but I have a child, and I don’t want my child to grow up to be a good-for-nothing. Please have mercy on me, madam.
.”
"My second wife and I have a grudge." Chu Yunli sneered, "That's your master. He will be in jail, and it's because of me." Even now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still hate her with all their might.
Itchy. If she hadn't protected herself, she would have died long ago.
Under such circumstances, how could she help the second bedroom?
"Master... he did something wrong and deserved it." Aunt Li whispered, "I have nothing. As long as the madam is willing to help the two children find a reliable husband, they will definitely listen to the madam's orders in the future. I
I know Madam is not short of manpower, so please help the two children for the sake of their young age."
Jiang Qi didn't believe him and came to beg her.
Seeing her silence, Aunt Li smiled bitterly and said, "Quan'er is seven years old this year and has not yet enlightened."
A child from a normal big family would be enlightened by a wife at the age of four or five. Chu Yunli held her chin up and said, "Let me tell the Marquis for you."
Aunt Li was a little disappointed.
Chu Yunli said again, "You have to believe Mr. Hou, he is the grandfather of the children." If he had not thought that the younger generations of the Jiang family could not make a difference earlier, Jiang Yuhao and Jiang Yuyang would not have become like that.
The next morning, when she went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, she happened to meet two children from the second room who came to pay their respects. She suggested, "These children look seven or eight years old, why are they still idle all day?"
Du Shi sneered, "Do you still want to take over and educate me?"
Chu Yunli answered, "I am their aunt, and they have a decent aunt, what does it have to do with me? It's just because they are the heirs of the Hou family. If they don't succeed in the future, it won't lose the face of the Hou family. Since my mother doesn't think so,
It should be taught, but it doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Qi over there looked at the two children, frowned and said, "Come closer."
The two children then came forward and knelt down to say hello. They didn't come to the main courtyard often, and when they came occasionally, they were stopped by little Mrs. Du. Especially after Jiang Sujin was gone, she deliberately prevented them from showing up in the main courtyard, but Mrs. Du paid attention.
When she arrived, she was naturally helping her niece and pretended not to know about it.
So Chu Yunli said that she had seen the upbringing of the Du family, and that such a temperament was not suitable for being a clan wife.
When little Mrs. Du came in, she saw Jiang Qi talking to the two children in a warm voice. She stepped forward to say hello and said with a smile, "Why did Quan'er bring her brother here by herself?"
"They will live in the main courtyard from now on." Jiang Qi glared at her displeasedly, and even when he looked at Du Shi, there was some disappointment in his eyes.
Little Du's face changed slightly, "The child is noisy, and I'm afraid it will delay your recovery, so I'd better let my daughter-in-law take her back..."
Jiang Qi frowned and looked at her, watching her speaking voice getting lower and lower, until she could no longer speak, and then said, "Sure enough, the Du family's upbringing cannot be a clan wife. From now on, even if those little girls from the Du family enter the house,
As guests, don’t let them get too close to these children.”
These words clearly rejected the possibility of marrying again with the Du family in the future. She almost slapped her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the face. Little Du's face turned red with anger, but she did not dare to refute. In anger, Mrs. Du said, "Du
What happened to the upbringing? The queen in the palace is a daughter of the Du family, and she is the mother of the world..."
"Don't mention the queen in the palace again." Jiang Qi scolded, "Don't enter the palace in the future. Those things you mother and daughter discussed in private will not work!"
"Why can't it be done? The prince is already sixteen, and he should be at the age when he should go to court. Last year you said you would..."
Jiang Qi was extremely angry and slapped his hand on the table, "Come here, my wife is crazy. Take her to the Buddhist hall to rest. After today, no outsiders will be seen."
Not only was Chu Yunli surprised by his big reaction, but Du Shi was also frightened. Little Du Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, mother is fine, there is no need to be like this."
Jiang Qi looked at her coldly, "What do you know? If you don't want to accompany your aunt, shut up!"
The tone did not allow for rebuttal.
It turns out that they wanted the prince to enter the court last year. Chu Yunli knew that his previous life, Jiang Qi, "died" of illness last year. Could it be because of this?
If it was really because of this that Du wanted to let the prince enter the court, he was forcing him to die. No wonder he was so angry.
Mrs. Du looked ugly, but the mother-in-law didn't move when she saw the invitation, so she stretched out her hand to pull them away. She waved her hand and waved away several people, "What do you want to do? I am the Queen's mother, Madam Marquis. In fact, you can touch a vulgar servant like you."
?”
She looked at Jiang Qi and said, "We are just a couple. I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Since you are unkind, don't blame me..."
She tossed her sleeves and turned around, shouting, "Give me the post, I want to enter the palace!"
Jiang Qi did not argue with her again, and said to the two children calmly, "You will live in the main courtyard from now on. Don't ask for the people around you, and buy your things again. After today, there is no need to go back to Jinyuan.
"
After saying that, he ignored little Du's expression over there and said, "I'm a little tired, you all should go back."
Little Du's face turned gloomy after she went out. When she saw Aunt Li standing not far away, she sneered, "Sure enough, there are some ways to send the child to the main hospital. The father has to teach him personally. I underestimated you before.
.”
She no longer quarreled with Chu Yunli. She couldn't quarrel every time and made herself very angry.
Aunt Li was in good health, and she looked at Chu Yunli here with grateful eyes, and said, "Madam, I am overly complimentary. It's just because the Marquis cherishes his grandson." She pushed back without being soft or hard.
Little Du was so angry that she slapped Aunt Li in the face. Her head turned to one side, but she still had a smile on her face.
The next morning, everyone thought that Madam Hou was going to enter the palace. She wanted to enter the palace, and the queen in the palace usually met her. The carriage at the door was ready, but it was already broad daylight and no one was there. However, news came out that Du Shi
The kind of person who is sick and can't get up.
Her mother-in-law was sick, so Chu Yunli had to go and see her anyway, and maybe even attend to her illness.
She already had vague doubts in her heart. When she arrived in the main room and saw Du Shi lying on the bed unable to move, and when she saw the green color on her fingertips when she was greeting her, she understood even more clearly that this was not a disease. Jiang Qi wanted her to be sick.
!
The post she submitted yesterday might not have been delivered at all.
She just couldn't move, but she could still speak. She looked at Chu Yunli standing in front of the bed with heavy eyes and said, "I want to drink water."
The maid next to her hurriedly poured water and brought it over. Du Shi didn't even look at it, "Yueru, you won't dislike me, right?"
This is because he wants his daughter-in-law to give her water.
Chu Yunli said that she was asking for discomfort. She took the water, tested the water temperature, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the maid, and said, "It's not hot enough."
Then he told Lu Ye, "Go and make some hot tea."
While the tea was being made, little Mrs. Du arrived. Chu Yunli took the hot tea and went up to feed it to Mrs. Du, who was being helped up by the maid.
Seeing that she was holding the tea with a normal look on her face, Mrs. Du did not doubt that he was there. She leaned forward and took a sip. The hot tea entered her mouth and she couldn't help but spurt it out. She glared at Chu Yunli with vicious eyes, "You bastard!"
Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "Ah, I forgot to test the water temperature. I'm sorry, I'll have someone soak it for you again."
If you serve her well, you will have to stay here serving tea and water every day from now on.
Little Mrs. Du watched it from beginning to end and was immediately furious, "How dare you deliberately scald your mother with tea?"
Du Shi had already drank cold water. Although her tongue still hurt, she was much better. "Go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures and offer them to the Buddha."
Chu Yunli was happy, turned around and went out. Before leaving, she said, "I can't serve my mother, so my brothers and sisters have to do it for me."
It is said that there is no filial son before a person who is sick in bed for a long time, which probably means that no one can serve a person who is bedridden for a long time without complaining. Especially since the disease is man-made, Jiang Qi will probably not let her recover. It depends on how little Du Shi can do it.
Please take good care of me for as long as you want.
In the afternoon, the palace doctor arrived. After checking his pulse, he only said that Du needed to take a good rest and told a lot of causes of the disease. In summary, no one could understand it. It felt like a serious illness. Anyway, he could die even if he took care of himself for the time being.
No.
Starting from the next day, many doctors came to the Hou Mansion. Soon, many people in the capital knew that Mrs. Hou was ill. Even though the Hou Mansion was still in mourning period, people still came to visit. Chu Yunli accepted the gifts, but declined the guests.
, she only said that it was difficult to receive guests during Xiaoqi, including people from the Du family, who were also turned away by her.
It is worth mentioning that the gifts from the Qin family were also delivered to Chu Yunli among many gifts. The concierge posted the names of each family on each box, including the person who gave the gifts.
Most of the people who came were housekeepers, and only those who were close to her were the masters who came personally. For example, the person who came from the Du family was Du's nephew-in-law, who was the mother of the two girls last time, and the person who came from the Qin family was actually someone she had met once.
Sister-in-law.
When he opened the Qin family's box, there was actually an old wild ginseng that was as long as a foot long. It was worth a lot at first glance.
Chu Yunli knocked on the box and said, "Put it all into the Hou Mansion's warehouse."
Anyway, Mrs. Du has no need for these things. No matter how brilliant the doctor is, she can't recover. It's better to put these things in the warehouse and exchange them for money when the time is right to help the poor.
Two days later, when Chu Yunli was teaching Yujia embroidery, Luye came in and said, "Madam, the person delivering the materials has arrived."
Every time the season changes, the clothes of everyone in the mansion will be re-purchased, including those of the servants. Therefore, the shopkeeper will send materials to the mansion for selection. In the past, this was done by Du Shi, but now Jiang Qi ordered Du Shi to rest and not see outsiders, naturally
This also includes the people from this cloth village.
She really had to take over this matter. She didn't want to leave the matter of purchasing these things in the house to Little Du. Then she might not be able to wear clothes without worry in the future. "Please come in."
Then a group of people came in, each holding a piece of cloth, but Chu Yunli's eyes fell on the last person. Lu was dressed as a shopkeeper. Seeing Chu Yunli staring at her, she immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Fifth sister
, it’s not easy to meet you. The concierge told me all the nice things to say, but he was unwilling to report to me, so I can only... don’t laugh. "
Compared with last year's meeting, Lu's tone was much softer. Although he was joking, he was not as casual as last year. He noticed her expression several times out of the corner of his eye.
Lu stepped forward, waved away the maids holding cloths, walked up to her and said in a low voice, "The royal merchants are going to be selected again recently. Fifth sister, you really want to help the Tan family. The Tan family is ready,
Only you can be good."
These words worked well for Tan Yueru, but not for Chu Yunli. She said funnyly, "The Tan family didn't become an imperial merchant last year, so it had no impact on me at all."
Lu was speechless.
It seems that this is indeed the case. She used to look down on this sister-in-law because even if she became the prince's wife, she could not make any decisions in the affairs of the prince's mansion. Being close to her was close, but at several banquets, people who knew her identity
They were all so cold and indifferent. The Qin family became the in-laws of the Hou family, and no one looked up to the Qin family. It was not because she was too soft-tempered.
But things are different now. Mrs. Hou is seriously ill and it is her turn to take charge of the family.
She quickly reacted and her face became more flattering, "That's because the Hou Mansion did not entertain guests last year. If people knew that the Qin family was not a royal merchant, you, the wife of the eldest son of the Qin family, would also..."
"You can't change your background." Chu Yunli spread his hands, "In my opinion, it's the same whether the Qin family is a merchant or an imperial merchant. I can't take any advantage."
To put it bluntly, when they went to beg the Lin family, they came to the door with money, but when they came to her, they were empty-handed. Is this because they looked down on her, or did they think their own family didn't need to be so polite?
Lu was suddenly enlightened when she heard about taking advantage. She had interacted with wives from various families and heard this hidden meaning too many times. She smiled and said, "Fifth sister has become shrewd. My family still wants to scheme like this. What do you want?"
Chu Yunli held out three fingers, "I want 30% of your Qin family's annual profit."
"What?" Lu's face was ugly and a little pale, "Do you know how much money the Qin family spends every year to send money to the higher-ups?" This 30% is equal to half of the Qin family's annual profit.
"I know." Chu Yunli looked calm, "So I only want 30%."
Seeing her dull expression, Lu knew that she might not be able to think of this, so he tentatively said, "Can it be less? If you promise to let the Tan family do 10% of the annual profits of the imperial merchants this year... I can promise you now
.I am your sister-in-law..."
Now remember to talk about blood ties, "Thirty percent." Chu Yunli didn't give in at all, "Nothing less is enough."
