Pei Shi sat on the kang and listened to Qin's return to the account book.
"The slave maid took a look, there are no big moths like Li Zhuangtou among these people, and if there is, they are just greedy for a few days......
Pei Shi waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about those small pieces of silver", a fierce color flashed between his eyebrows, "It's just that I hate those dog minions who are yang and yin the most, and if you get a lift, you have to keep your eyes bright, and you can't forget your identity." ”
The Qin clan should be, and listened to Pei's secret beating with an unchanged face. Pei Shi said a few words and then stopped talking, and ordered Fei Wen to send her out.
As soon as I came out of the courtyard gate of Jifu Hall, I saw a bright color in front of me. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Mother Qin and Sister Feiwen don't have to be polite. Zhao Qingyi smiled, "I asked Zhilan to go back yesterday, can you see it?"
"Thank you for the girl's grace, I saw it, Zhilan came with me, I think I staggered with the girl. A different color flashed on Qin's face, the eldest girl has never been so considerate to her subordinates, and she is rude and homely, what's wrong today?
Zhao Qingyi said a few words hastily and went in.
Fei Wen explained with a smile: "Mrs. Chang is coming over today. ”
Qin suddenly realized. What should she be able to make Miss Zhao so abnormal, it was for family affairs, no wonder, fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who doesn't want to marry a good son? She shook her head and smiled, thinking of something, but she couldn't laugh anymore.
Fei Wen took out a small bag of silver and handed it to the Qin family, and said with a smile: "Mrs. is happy, so mom will accept it." Qin accepted it with a smile. She understood what Fei Wen meant, this silver was not given for her errand, it was originally a part of the monthly money she took, and this silver was rewarded only when her wife was happy, why she was happy, it was self-evident. This mother and daughter are actually of the same mind.
She quit Fevien and went to the outer court. Thinking about it while walking, it is no wonder that the wife and the eldest girl are so happy, and such a person is really the eldest girl. Marquis Changxin is now down, he was also a powerful minister in front of the emperor back then, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, he has a title and assets, and he is really fragrant. She thought of her daughter, who was as perfect as a jewel, who was so good-looking, and whose family was probably much better than that of the eldest girl, and what should she do in the future?
Outside the study.
Master Zhao listened to Zhou Chi's words, and his face became more and more ugly.
On the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the Spring Festival this year, the people below inadvertently found a peculiar Taihu Lake stone in Binzhou, which looked very much like the word "longevity" written on a seal. He immediately thought that this year was the emperor's 40th birthday, and such a well-intentioned thing actually made him run into it. In ecstasy, he hurriedly bought this stone quietly and hid it in a small courtyard bought in Binzhou. Originally, he wanted to transport it back to the capital immediately, but the stone was very large, and the manpower he brought was not enough, so he had the intention of flattering the emperor, and he didn't want others to know, so he had to put it down for the time being.
I didn't know that when I returned to Beijing to inquire, it turned out that the emperor's birthday festival did not accept congratulatory gifts from the ministers, so he hit the princes with the idea again. He first asked someone to find the prince, but the prince had a lot of staff, and he was secretive and refused to say what it was, and the prince didn't bother to care about it, his birthday gift had already been prepared, so he didn't see Master Zhao.
When Lord Zhao was disheartened, he found the third prince. In his opinion, the third prince is a vassal of the crown prince, and it is the same to give it to him. The third prince has always not dealt with the ministers, but this time he accepted the gift for the first time, he was very surprised, where can he take care of so much, and he is about to send someone to transport the Taihu Lake stone back.
But when he heard Zhou Chi say it today, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
The third prince has always been a low-key person, and he does not fight or rob, so why should he offer such a showy birthday gift? If it is said that it is for the crown prince, since he was connected to the line of the third prince, he has never heard him mention the crown prince, and obviously his credibility is not high.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He never moved his heart to stand in line, because he always felt that the crown prince's accession to the throne was a sure thing. The crown prince has occupied the position of the East Palace for 12 years, in these 12 years, the saint has never expressed his dissatisfaction with the prince, is to the ministers to look at the wind, competing to show favor to the prince, these years, the prince's power has gradually grown, almost has mastered half of the court, never cultivated the power of the three princes, even if there is the identity of the eldest son of the queen of the Yuan, no imperial heart, no military power, how can it be because of a whim, shake the prince's firm position?
He made up his mind in an instant, and muttered: "While the prince hasn't gotten the news yet, let's stop this delivery, the Zhao family can't take this risk." ”
Zhou Chi was stunned. He was startled, no matter how he was a prince, the Zhao family offended him, how could he get revenge?
Master Zhao suddenly smiled, and said coolly: "I'm still worried that I can't catch the prince's line, with this matter, it's good to show my face in front of the prince." ”
When Zhou Chi heard his laughter, he only felt cold, if he didn't keep the contract, he would still sue in front of the prince?
Seeing that there was nothing to do, he got up and took his leave. Master Zhao actually sent him out of the study in person, patted him on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Zhou Chi, I have worked hard for you this time, thanks to you for thinking of this." ”
Zhou Chi didn't dare to do so. After turning around, his face was a little complicated.
He saw that Master Zhao had made a decision without hesitation, and he began to sympathize with the three princes. was discouraged at a young age, was taken away by his brother-in-law, and even sent a congratulatory gift to his father, but was bullied by his brother and courtiers in every way. He sighed, but after all, the royal family is not an ordinary family, they are born with extraordinary status, which naturally brings troubles beyond ordinary people.
He was more concerned about something else. The daughter is just the maid of the boudoir lady, where did she know these things about the royal family? It is really incomprehensible that she can still tell the danger of this. However, the Qin family didn't train her as a writer when she was a child, and it is no wonder that she did some unexpected things, or maybe she often goes out of the house, and she can't tell the nonsense of the story.
He smiled and shook his head, no longer dwelling on this matter, his daughter was raised by him, what could be wrong? Knowing that something that should not have been known must have a reason, he didn't have to doubt it. In this big mansion, there are some things that I know a lot, and I may be able to live a better life.
When the three members of the Zhou family were thinking about their own thoughts, the Zhao family's gate ushered in a long-awaited guest.
A blue-curtained carriage stopped in front of the door. The first to get down was a maid dressed in an official green armor, who skillfully raised the curtain for the people in the car and helped them get out of the car.
Seeing this, several women dressed in beautiful blue armor hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The person who came was Mrs. Chang of the Marquis of Changxin Mansion and her party.
