Qiu Rucheng walked out of Jicuifang on the front foot, and someone on the back foot reported the news, and early the next morning, a secret report about Fang Yun in the past few days was sent to Liu Xian, the uncle of the country.

Liu Xian was overjoyed, hurriedly entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and said, "Someone from the Qiu family went to ransom Miss Buyer's family today." ”

Empress Dowager Liu was sitting in the imperial study to correct the recital, hearing the words, raised her phoenix eyes, glanced at the overjoyed Liu Xian, and said lightly: "I am here for some family and country affairs, and I am busy every day, and this little thing is also worth reporting to me? ”

Liu Xian hurriedly said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is magnanimous and admired by the ministers." But this time, Miss Fang's ransom is not simple, and it is even related to the future of the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Liu thought that Liu Xian was alarmist, and couldn't help but snort lightly, but her eyes still did not leave the music.

Liu Xian had no choice but to submit the secret report in his hand and said: "This is reported by the minister's eyeliner in Jicuifang, and the Queen Mother is also invited to take a look." ”

Seeing her younger brother's solemn look, Empress Dowager Liu had no choice but to take the secret report from the little eunuch's hand, glanced at it casually, and frowned slightly: "Why did King Qi Jun get involved?"

Liu Xian said proudly: "The king of Qi County is the descendant of the An family, how can he be with our Liu family, and see the hearts of the people for a long time, the tail of this old fox is finally revealed, and the queen mother is asked to think quickly and take back the military power in his hands." ”

Empress Dowager Liu lowered her eyes and was silent, and Liu Xian hurriedly said: "I think this matter is not only for the King of Qi County. Lu Guogong must have also participated. The day before, I called the eldest lady of the Fang family to discuss countermeasures, and the next day, An Shicheng entered the Qiu Mansion, and then the eldest son of the Qiu family hurriedly ransomed people, and now it seems that there are still many people in the Fang Jin party. ”

Empress Dowager Liu had impatience on her face, and interrupted coldly: "No need to say any more. About the matter. There are too many irrationalities. If you want to ransom someone, why ask Fang Yun to go over to discuss? Just ask someone to take the money to ransom it. So the essence is just that the Qiu family wants to redeem people. After all, Qiu Jing's mansion had a marriage agreement with the Fang family, and it was not good for his family's prospective daughter-in-law to stay in that kind of place. As for An Shicheng and An Shihuan, they appeared there at this time. Maybe it's just a coincidence. It can also make your imagination flow. I don't know if it's because you don't have enough brains, or if you have the heart to declare personal vendettas, only you know it in your heart. ”

Liu Xian's face turned red. The king of Anjun ruled the army quite strictly. The iron mask is selfless, he once worked as an errand under him, because some things made him very shameless, so he held a grudge in his heart, and the king of the county was loyal to the queen mother, and he was fair in dealing with people, and now it is easy to seize the opportunity, and naturally he will not let it go.

Now that the queen mother said a word, Liu Xian had no choice but to avoid the important and light, and said: "The minister is afraid that my sister will be deceived by those Zi An people, so as soon as I find out that something is wrong, I immediately come to report, the minister is really for the sake of my sister." If you want to talk about the communiqué's personal vendetta, there is also a point, then the Lu Guogong Mansion is really too deceitful, if you really don't look at Ting'er, why not say it bluntly, what kind of Qiu family do you want to use as a shield......"

Empress Dowager Liu waved her hand and said: "The twisted melon is not sweet, I originally thought that Ting'er's temperament is not very harmonious, and An Shicheng is peaceful and loyal, so I said peace, but I didn't expect his family to have a marriage contract with the Qiu family, and I blamed me for not asking clearly, so I rashly proposed it, so that Ting'er was wronged." However, don't worry, no matter whether this is true or not, as long as I am here, An Shicheng can only marry the daughter of the Qiu family. ”

Liu Xian listened, but his heart was not lighter, thinking that his daughter was disliked by the useless nerd, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and even had a very good opinion on the Qiu family, after some thought, he sighed: "If his family really doesn't like Ting'er's temperament, the minister has nothing to say, I'm afraid that his family will make another decision, and he won't dare to marry the Liu family......

Empress Dowager Liu snorted conceitedly: "I can make his family soar, and I can also press them into the sludge, and I don't dare to play tricks with me if I borrow a hundred guts." ”

Liu Xian originally rushed to sue the black case, but he didn't think that he couldn't say anything about the queen mother's heart, so he had to retreat in frustration.

Empress Dowager Liu didn't have the mood to review the chapter at this time, the heart of the self is the most unpredictable, although she thinks she is smart, but over the years she has always felt tired and tired, and there is no moment of real peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu threw aside the piece in her hand, got up and said, "Go to the emperor's palace to have a look." ”

At this time, the little emperor An Shikun had just taken medicine and was sitting in front of the window basking in the sun, when he heard his mother coming, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Empress Dowager Liu hurriedly helped her son and said, "You just finished drinking the medicine, you don't have to be like this, sit down and rest." How did you feel today?"

An Shikun sat down and said with a smile: "My son feels much lighter today, why did my mother come over at this time, isn't there something big going on in the court?"

An Shikun knows her mother's daily habits, and she should be criticizing the chapter at this time.

Empress Dowager Liu wanted to say that she was worried about her son, but when she saw her son's pale face, she felt that this was quite ominous, so she sighed and said: "Your third uncle just came to say that someone wanted to ransom Miss Fang's family, and he said something miscellaneous, which made me lose my mind, so it is better to come and talk to you." ”

Empress Dowager Liu said a little about Fang Cai, and An Shikun nodded and smiled: "Although my uncle is a little selfish, he also thinks so much because he cares about his mother, don't be angry with him." As for the rest, if it is really as he said, it is just a grasshopper shaking a tree, and it will not become a climate. Besides, the son is loyal to the king of the county, and our mother and son also have the Liu family, and they have the military power in the hands of their grandfather and uncle, so they can rest easy. ”

Empress Dowager Liu was persuaded by her son, and seeing that her son still had great trust in the Liu family, she felt a little at ease, and asked about it, and saw that her son was tired, and she was busy persuading her son to go to bed to rest, so she left with the palace people.

An Shikun waited for Empress Dowager Liu to leave, slowly sat up from the dragon couch, and the people who were waiting rushed forward to serve.

An Shikun comfortably leaned on Jin Mang's pillow and said lightly: "Li Quan, you send someone to Shunyang City to check on this matter Fang Yun's whereabouts in the past few days." ”

Li Quan bowed his head and replied yes, and said with a smile: "The emperor only needs to take care of the dragon body, and there is a queen mother, according to the slaves, this is just a private relationship with the children of the eldest son of the Qiu family, so there is a ransom happening." ”

An Shikun closed his eyes and sighed: "If it is really a personal affair between children and daughters, I am afraid that someone has other intentions and wants Fang Yun to find a short-term view, and in the end, the Empress Dowager will be blamed by the heavens, so this matter has to be investigated by me." ”

Li Quan glanced at the thin young man on the dragon couch with admiration, and quietly withdrew from the hall to order someone to visit Shunyang City

At this time, Qiu Ruyi in Shunyang City, life was not easy, in order to raise money, he really jumped up and down, so he scolded Qiu Rucheng for talking about such a high price.

Qiu Rucheng is short of silver taels, the Song family can't wait for things to happen, naturally not a penny, Qiu Rucheng had to borrow it again in a circle of relatives and friends, Qiu Ruhai brothers and sisters will naturally not be left behind.

Qiu Ruhai didn't care, but Qiu Ruyi attached great importance to this matter because she had promised Fang Yun that day, but she was also shy now, and after using her brains, the idea hit her mother.

After Qiu Ruyi thought about it, she went to see her mother and said carefully: "That day, my daughter persuaded my mother to donate silver to the ancestral hall, but my mother said that the silver would rather make clothes and jewelry for her daughter. Now that my daughter is tight, this clothes and jewelry will be free, so it is better to exchange the silver directly for my daughter. ”

Yu Shi was stunned for a long time, and Fang remembered the words of the mother and daughter who laughed a few months ago, and couldn't help laughing.

Qiu Ruyi thought that there was a door to this matter, and she also laughed a few times.

After Yu Shi laughed, Zhengse said: "Regarding the matter of the Fang family, my mother has already made it clear enough: my mother will not stop you in this matter, but she will never help you." ”

Qiu Ruyi begged for a long time, and Yu gritted his teeth in order to avoid future troubles, without full accommodation, Qiu Ruyi returned in vain, and couldn't help but sigh in the room.

The girls have always liked the joy of the master and the worry of the master, and they have made suggestions on the side, one person is short, two people are long, and I don't know who brought up the idea of borrowing.

Qiu Ruyi understood what he heard, and sighed in his heart that it could only be like this now.

Qiu Ruyi ordered the girls to put out the clothes that they couldn't wear and the hairpin rings that they couldn't use for the time being, and she went to Qiu Ruhai again and asked him to make some money out in the same way.

Qiu Ruhai couldn't be entangled, so he had to agree, and asked his sister again: "Is it dead or alive?"

Although Qiu Ruyi didn't understand the difference between the two, he could see a little bit of it literally, so he sighed: "Naturally, it is the way to take more silver." ”

Qiu Ruhai has always been obedient to his sister's habits, so he had to arrange for someone to quietly go to the pawnshop at night, after all, his family is also a well-known family in Shunyang City, which is inevitably inconvenient for outsiders to see.

But there are impermeable walls in the world, and the actions of Qiu Ruhai's brothers and sisters are still seen by people with hearts, and in the eyes of those who care, this person is none other than An Shicheng's little servant Changqing.

It turned out that Changqing came to Shunyang City to buy things at the wrong time, so he had to stay in the city for a while, but he accidentally saw that at the back door of Qiu's house, a small servant loaded a lot of boxes and cages into the car and pulled them all the way to the pawnshop.

After Changqing and the others left, with the name of the Lu Guogong Mansion, they inquired clearly, thinking of the relationship between the Qiu family and the Lu Guogong Mansion, and when he saw An Shicheng the next day, he mentioned the matter.

An Shicheng listened, and complained in his heart: This Qiu clan is too unsophisticated, how can this woman's clothes be sent to the pawnshop at will, or die, I don't know why she is so short of money, can it be said that her family is already poor to this extent? (To be continued......)
