Chapter 212: Aunt Li's Request
After all, a palace needs a lot of things, and there are many merchants who supply it, and there are many people, and one or two of them appear very often, so it is not good that one day the palace will replace the supply of something, and then it may be him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Besides, now that the palace is newly built, there are not many things that may be needed, it is not a big customer, and it doesn't matter if you can't compete for this guest, but after a few years, the income of the palace will be more and more, and there will be more and more people, and there will be a lot of things needed, so it will be a big customer, and if you can become a supplier in the palace at that time, then it will be called good, so Mrs. Li San believes that after hearing this, her brother will not be disappointed.
After talking about the purchase, Mrs. Li San smiled again: "Speaking of which, last time it was thanks to the princess for enlightening my daughter. β
Mu Hibiscus looked unclear, and Mrs. Li San told her about her aunt's borrowing of money when Zhao Yuanniang got married, and then said: "In the past, she always thought that I refused to give my aunt money, but then suddenly I didn't mention it again, I asked, only to know that it was you who enlightened her, thank you so much, alas, that girl was too naΓ―ve to be spoiled by me, she didn't understand anything, she was so old, she was about to get married, and she was easy to be deceived. β
It turned out that Aunt Li was really like Hibiscus thought, she actually had a lot of money on hand, and she went home to cry poor just to take advantage of this excuse to get more oil from Mrs. Li San, Mrs. Li San was still a shrewd person, so she asked her brother to inquire about the situation, and then she knew that Aunt Li did not have money as she said on the surface, and she had some land and private houses on hand, although it was not as rich as Mrs. Li San's money, but it was more than the money in the Wang family's big house, so Mrs. Li San saw that she had money and rubbed oil, so naturally she didn't want to give her money.
It's just that Li Yue doesn't know the truth, and it's a little strange that her mother doesn't take care of the only aunt, she could have explained the truth directly to her daughter, but she wanted to test her daughter's eyesight, so she didn't say anything, to see if she had found out, but she didn't find out, which made her disappointed, until Hibiscus woke up, and then came back to send her grandmother to inquire, so that she knew the truth, and never said her again, so that after being disappointed, Mrs. Li San, who told her daughter the truth, couldn't help but be happy - although her daughter was a little confused, But fortunately, there are reliable friends around to remind me that this is also the same.
Mu Hibiscus listened to Mrs. Li's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, if this kind of thing happens once, when something happens in the future, he will not make subjective judgments, but will investigate the truth first, I believe that the fourth lady will be like this." β
"I hope so." Mrs. Li San said with a smile. "But I have to ask the princess to mention more."
With a good friend like Mu Hibiscus who has both background and good conduct, her daughter will not suffer, so Mrs. Li San naturally pleaded like this.
Hibiscus smiled: "As long as I can, I will naturally say it." β
Mrs. Li San would come to visit her, as she expected, after all, the two have always been in contact, but some people, who have nothing to do with her at all, come to her to get close, which makes her sigh a little "Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives".
But said that the door came to report on this day, saying that there was an acquaintance who wanted to see her, Mu Hibiscus thought that she had recently said that she didn't know how many acquaintances she had, how could she think of who it was, so she asked who it was, after all, it was necessary to ask clearly before you could let it in, and it was impossible to say that an acquaintance would let people in, and then the door said that it was the aunt of the Earl's Mansion who asked to see.
When Mu Hibiscus heard this request, she couldn't help but be speechless, and she had the emotion above, thinking that even Aunt Li would come to see her under the banner of acquaintances, which was really enough, after all, she and Aunt Li were acquaintances! - Actually, I really want to say that Mu Hibiscus has no good impression of Aunt Li's family, at least Young Master Wang and Wang Zhirou, after all, when I was in Earl Zhongyong's Mansion at that time, these two young masters and young ladies would toss them every time they came, and Mu Hibiscus did not suffer less from them, and I thought that Aunt Li also knew, since I knew, Aunt Li was embarrassed to come over, and her face was really thick-skinned, too, she was obviously rich, but she could go to Earl Zhongyong's Mansion to cry poor, and the people who expected Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li San to help were not thick-skinned?
I don't know what Aunt Li wanted to say when she came today, but because she was a little curious, Mu Hibiscus asked the people on the door to let her in.
It turned out that Aunt Li didn't come alone, but with her, there was also her daughter Wang Zhirou.
Mu Hibiscus vaguely remembered that this Wang Zhirou was one year younger than her, and she should be fifteen years old this year, so it stands to reason that it is time to get married, after all, I haven't heard that Mrs. Wang has passed away, and she needs to keep filial piety, so if you delay.
Besides, this Wang Zhirou's face was gloomy, as if someone else owed her eight million taels, but why? Well, it shouldn't be because of yourself, after all, if you look at yourself and feel uncomfortable, Aunt Li can't bring her over, after all, in this way, it's not a friendship or a feud, isn't it? And the Wang family has been defeated, she is a branch of the Wang family, how dare she make a feud with a county palace? So I should have something on my mind before I came.
Although there was this speculation, Mu Hibiscus did not ask out loud, she thought, since Aunt Li came, it is estimated that she will not come in vain, and she will definitely say something, so that she doesn't need to ask more, what people want to say, they will definitely take the initiative to say.
Over there, Aunt Li accompanied her with a smiling face when she saw Hibiscus, and respectfully gave Hibiscus a salute, not at all like Li Xin, Grandma Li and others, she was still thinking about the past, and felt that she was a noble girl, Mu Hibiscus used to be a subordinate, and now that her status has become higher, she is not comfortable to salute her, but like Mu Hibiscus was originally a noble girl, she calmly saluted Mu Hibiscus, I have to say that Aunt Li was liked by two brothers when she was in the Earl of Zhongyong's palace, and she saved a lot of private houses in her husband's house, and she still has two brushes, at least better than her daughter.
Her daughter Wang Zhirou is similar to Grandma Li Xin and others, although she listened to Aunt Li's words and saluted Hibiscus at this time, the expression on her face looked obviously reluctant, obviously thinking the same as Li Xin, Grandma Li and others, and felt a little unhappy to give a salute to a girl who had been tossed casually before.
People with good relationships like Mrs. Li San, Aunt Zhao and other well-connected people saluted her, and Mu Hibiscus immediately stopped her, but for people like Wang Zhirou and Aunt Li who had tossed her before, she naturally wouldn't be kind enough not to let them salute, she didn't toss them like them, but just let them salute according to the rules, which is already very polite, otherwise she would have tossed them based on what they had done before, and they had nothing to say, after all, they tossed her first.
After seeing the ceremony, Mu Hibiscus said, "I don't know why Mrs. Gu has time to come over today." β
Mu Hibiscus still used the name she used to Aunt Li when she was in the Earl's Mansion of Zhongyong, and this title was okay at this time, so Aunt Li did not dare to live in this title in fear, and asked the other party to call her the second wife of the king, but said with a smile: "I went into the city to visit the eldest brother and them, thinking that they also have an old relationship with the princess, so I also came to have a look." β
The affairs of the Wang family, Mu Hibiscus heard from Mrs. Li San, Li Yue and others.
After cutting the knight at the beginning, the Wang family, who moved out of the mansion given by heaven, found a place in the suburbs of Beijing and bought a house because there was no house in the capital and no money to buy a house.
Originally, Aunt Li's money was enough to buy a house in the capital, but isn't this that the old lady Wang is not dead yet? If she dares to take out the money to buy a house, she will definitely be ordered by Mrs. Wang to hand it over for them to squander, so Aunt Li would rather follow everyone out of the city than take out her private house to buy a house, but is only ready to wait for Mrs. Wang to pass away before returning to Beijing to buy a house.
And because she left the capital, Aunt Li was unwilling to break off from the upper circle of the capital in the future, so she would go back to the capital from time to time, go to the Earl Zhongyong's mansion, and go to the Cheng'en Mansion of her eldest niece Li Xin, so as not to let no one in the capital know her.
Because the Wang family has completely collapsed, and Aunt Li has connections with the upper circles of the capital due to the relationship between the Earl of Zhongyong and the Earl's Palace, and from time to time she can also call from those relatives to get some autumn breeze, so Aunt Li, who was originally the smallest transparent existence in the Wang family, has become the most powerful person in the Wang family due to extra money from time to time, and everyone in the Wang family has begged her, and she is happier than Mrs. Wang.
And this is obviously the reason why I came here today.
She came over to try her luck, after all, she was someone she knew before, if Mu Hibiscus didn't care about her past suspicions, and didn't care about her children tossing them back then, if she could see herself, then she would have a higher status in the Wang family if she went back to talk about the fact that she met a princess of a county.
Of course, in addition to this, it would be better if I could befriend Hibiscus and help her solve a little dilemma in front of her.
At this time, Mu Hibiscus listened to Aunt Li's words, and Fang understood how she was in the city, so he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, my aunt has a good relationship with the eldest master and the third master." β
Aunt Li smiled: "It's not, so I come over from time to time to take a look, and by the way, I can find a family for Rou'er." β
Aunt Li feels that the most right thing she has done in her life is to make friends with her two brothers, no, now that her family is in danger, she has brought benefits to herself because she has a good relationship with her mother's brother, if she is not good friends with them, how can she move around so often, and then there is an autumn breeze to fight?
After discovering the benefits of being good with others, Aunt Li became more and more kind to others, thinking of having one more friend and one more way.
Aunt Li's approach is obviously right - that is, the children are not angry, they don't know what they think, and they often hold her back, which makes her also very troubled.
At this time, Mu Hibiscus heard Aunt Li mention Wang Zhirou, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't Miss Wang engaged yet?" β
Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and said: "I ordered it, but I was affected by my family, and after the house cut the knight, I was dismissed by the man." β
Aunt Li immediately talked about it.
It turned out that when Wang Zhirou was thirteen or fourteen years old, Aunt Li did book a door for her compared to the situation of her family, which was not a bad family affair, but since the title of the Earl of Cheng'en was cut by Emperor Yonghe, the man's family immediately withdrew from Wang Zhirou's family affairs, seeing that their family had no title and was not worthy of the man, or second, mainly because the man's family saw that the emperor and concubines did not treat their family well, and they were afraid that the family would be affected after marrying Wang Zhirou, so they didn't dare to ask her anymore, and Wang Zhirou was fifteen years old at this time, and she hadn't married yet. And his face is a little gloomy, not at all the reason why he was as domineering as when he was a bear child, after all, he is old, and he was withdrawn from his family, and his family is down, so it will be difficult to find a family affair like the one before, I am afraid that he can only match the son of an ordinary rich gentry who has no power and no power in the future, so it is no wonder that Wang Zhirou is in a bad mood.
In fact, not only Wang Zhirou, but also the school-age children of the big house, were also dismissed, when the Wei family was down, the big house retired from the Wei family's family, and now they are down, they are also dismissed, but they are also repaid.
When Aunt Li said this, she couldn't help but say: "At the beginning, the eldest niece (that is, Li Xin) was still adamant, saying that Wei Niangniang would not retaliate against the Wang family, so confident, what is the result, the Wang family is unlucky, especially our family, obviously the matter of retiring from relatives has nothing to do with us, it is the fault of the big house, but because of the involvement, it is also bad luck that follows behind, and the children are even difficult to do with their families." β
- Li Xin said that at the beginning, it was because Wei Zi did not give birth to a prince in the previous life, and he fell out of favor not long after, since he fell out of favor, he naturally couldn't retaliate against the Wang family, so he said that confidently, how do you know that the situation in this life is different from the previous life, which caused Li Xin to be slapped in the face.
Aunt Li wiped her tears as she spoke, and Wang Zhirou's face on the side became more and more gloomy, I don't know if she hated the Wang family for causing her to be involved, or if she hated the betrothed family for withdrawing her relatives, or both.
When Mu Hibiscus heard this, he commented from a fair point of view: "You are indeed involved in this matter. β
Originally, the Wang family's big house was snobbish and quit his family, and it should have been the Wang family's big house that should have been retributed, but it turned out that Aunt Li's daughter was divorced, but wasn't she affected by the big house?
Aunt Li listened to Mu Hibiscus's words of approval, and felt more and more aggrieved, and nodded: "Isn't it." β
Then he was cheeky and said, "Does the princess have any suitable candidates to help our girl find one?" Afraid that Mu Hibiscus would not be willing to help because of the previous matter, he didn't wait for Mu Hibiscus to answer, so he hurriedly lured him with profit: "Don't worry, princess, if the princess can help our girl find a wishful family, I will definitely be grateful." β
Aunt Li said that she wanted to thank her, naturally it was true, without him, because she knew that Mu Hibiscus was unwilling to help, once she was willing to help, it must be a good person to be introduced, and when the time came, it should be said that her daughter would take her as a backer, and if she didn't thank her to make friends, what should I do if I didn't want to help in the future? So Aunt Li naturally said this at this time.
