Chapter 238: East and West
Early the next morning, Tao Xiushui hired the craftsman he hired last time to Qinghe again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She wants to build a house for the barbarian prince Yatu immediately, for fear that this person will not have time to allow this person to come that day, and then the emperor will blame him, and Master Gongming will be too guilty.
The house could not be built in front of the academy, nor could it be built behind the academy, so the land on the left side of the Zhuangzi was planned to build a few rooms there.
It is a separate courtyard, because this matter needs money, Gongming Confucianism also specially entered the palace and said to the emperor for this matter, he is a teaching gentleman, no money and no money, it is a major matter of the country to build a house for this barbarian prince to live, and he also makes a small room to fool around, so he wants to talk to the emperor.
The emperor was right when he heard this, and he heard that Gongming's Zhuangzi had everything, there were many people and animals, and there was no decent house that could live in people.
He spoke to the official in charge of the treasury and allocated a few thousand taels of silver to Gongming Daru.
However, the time for this money to reach Gongming's hands is not short, Tao Xiushui guessed that Xiao Xiangna would not allow it, so he asked Master and Master Sun to enter the palace again and talk to the emperor.
I didn't ask why the money hadn't arrived, only when the barbarian prince would come back and when the house would be built.
The emperor was fine, so he said it one by one.
Gongming asked the emperor when it was better to build the house?
The emperor also answered one by one,
In the end, Komeito asked about the money to build the house, and he was afraid that it would be too late to see the time before the construction started.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and specially called Wang Tianyang, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ordered him to give the silver on the spot.
Wang Tianyang was originally Xiao Xiang's person, and at this time, he heard the emperor say that it was difficult to be there, so he hummed and agreed, but his subordinates were rubbing their hands on what to do.
The emperor couldn't help but listen to what he said, but Xiao Xiang also told him that silver can't be acted rashly.
After weighing it again and again, he was angrily scolded by the emperor and couldn't resist the pressure, and finally opened the clockwork to take the silver, and asked him to take the silver somewhere, which was the matter.
Gongming saw that it was easy to talk about anything with money, and when he left, he was afraid that the house would not be built well, so he also said hello to the emperor.
In the end, the emperor was annoyed, and said, "As long as it is well built, it will be done, and nothing is so particular"
An abandoned prince gave him a place to live, and the queen mother was really afraid that he couldn't afford to live, so as long as it was about the same, there was nothing to pay attention to.
Gongming Daru and Master Sun even asked about the courtyard of the house structure before leaving.
This emperor can't be the master, so he must make things more detailed and see who picks them.
When the two of them went back, Tao Xiushui listened to the two of them and pondered carefully, so he came to the standard of the barbarian prince's courtyard according to the thousands of taels of silver he got from the emperor. It doesn't matter the size of the cover, but the money, saving the fear of falling into the mouth, you can build it, and according to the estimation of the craftsmen, the courtyard of the barbarian prince can be called a small mansion.
What is in the front yard and back yard, interspersed with small bridges, flowing water, gardens and other things.
Cover this mansion with everything, or closed, see if he is embarrassed to come out.
She wants to make the Yatu prince as rich as he is, and let Master Gongming be as sloppy as he is, as long as the house and the place to eat are clean, and the rest of the place is almost the same.
This achieved the same effect, and she secretly ordered Ah San to buy a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and a few fat pigs.
As soon as you enter the whole yard, you can see animals wandering around, and you dare to come over to see that Yatu.
Everything was ready, and the construction of the house where Yatu lived also began, and Tao Xiushui was not so worried.
Master Gongming's Zhuangzi is very different from that place, unless he is from a poor background, or he is used to living a small life as a prince, and Master's Zhuangzi will not be able to get off his feet.
She also thought that Master and Master Sun would dislike it, but she didn't think that these two people would play with the small animals, these two people who already disliked the cold and lively house, now they have nothing to teach and teach, and they can feed the small animals when they return to the backyard, and life is a great fun.
On this day, Tao Xiushui was watching the craftsmen build houses, and she handed over this matter to Sun Yu to deal with it early, and she would take a look at it from a distance when she was fine.
After watching it for a while, I heard Ah San secretly come over and say to her: "Girl, the young master just sent someone to report that the Xiao Mansion has arrested a person on our side, so let you be careful."
"What? Tao Xiushui said hurriedly.
Ah Sandao said unhurriedly: "The news came this morning"
"Why are you arresting our people?
"It's because of the rumors last time"
"Last time?" It's not once or twice that she has arranged rumors for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I don't know if it was that time that the boat capsized.
"It's the time when the assassin killed the second lady"
Why did Xiao Fu turn this matter over again, could something have happened.
Tao Xiushui said: "You send a few people to investigate, why did Xiao Fu turn this matter over again"
"Yes," Ah San went to instruct, and Tao Xiushui sat there and sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.
It is true that the Assassins killed her, but it is unclear why she was killed.
If you want to investigate this matter, you have to start with the Xiao Mansion, after you die, what is the situation of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What kind of expressions are they, and what happened, as long as you know this, you can know the general trend of the matter.
If she is the daughter of the eldest lady as her aunt said, then the one who can kill herself may be the one who blocks the interests of others. The most direct beneficiary is Miss Xiao Xueer.
This man was afraid that he would be born to his aunt, so he hired her to kill her.
But will this man know that she is the son of an aunt?
Knowing that there will be different influences in my heart, it is impossible to be so confident and arrogant in my thoughts.
If you don't know, it's impossible to do anything to her, but who else can Xiao Xue'er who is not in the best interest of this matter?
Tao Xiushui pondered and meditated to no avail, and decided to go to Xiangfu again that day to have a look.
But this time, she can't be reckless, she has to follow the rules, and it's best to pick when Xiao Yan is not at home.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Ah San came back again.
"Girl, it is rumored in the Prime Minister's Mansion that Mrs. Xiao went to the Queen Mother, and when she came back, Xiao Xiang asked people to check the rumors last time."
"The Queen Mother?" Could it be that the Queen Mother said something? Tao Xiushui remembered that the Queen Mother had been very good to her before, could it be that because she asked Mrs. Xiao about this, it was only in Xiao Xiang's ears that she wanted to investigate in detail?
Tao Xiushui thought about it and thought that this matter was unlikely, she was just a little concubine in Xiao Xiangli, why did she suddenly die and was asked by the Queen Mother, but it is not easy to say that the Queen Mother used her to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, she knew how fierce the battle between the superior and the courtier was.
Could it be that her death was also due to the failure of the struggle of interests? Tao Xiushui did not dare to think about it.
Asked Ah San again, "Then what about your people, will it be dangerous if you are caught, and can you be rescued?"
Ah San was also not sure, "I will go to see it myself tonight, this person has a strict mouth, which is not to worry, but it is inevitable to suffer some flesh and skin."
Tao Xiushui sighed and regretted, "It's all my fault, this thing is a bit reckless"
"Don't blame the girl, it's the subordinates who are careless, I didn't expect the Prime Minister to continue to investigate this matter"
"Alas, now it's no one to blame, let's get people out safely first."
In the evening, Tao Xiushui waited in the courtyard alone, hoping that Ah San could successfully rescue people.
Chu Yi didn't come this night, and he must have stumped because of this.
Her heart was not quiet, she forced herself to read the book, but she couldn't read it, so she kept reading.
You have to make up your mind and don't support it, and it's even more uncomfortable to wait for it.
In the second half of the night, Qingzhu Cui said several times that Miss was late and it was time to sleep, Tao Xiushui was not a little sleepy, and only said: "You go to sleep, I'll watch it for a while."
Qingzhu was not at ease, so angry that he stomped his feet, "Miss, what time is it?"
Tao Xiushui knew that it was not early, so he only smiled and said, "I know, I'll sleep in a while, you go to sleep quickly!"
She sent Qingzhu away, but she couldn't sleep without the news that Ah San rescued people.
It wasn't until the sky turned white that Ah San came back.
He thought that Tao Xiushui would sleep, but he didn't expect to see that the light was still on in the room, so he called out in surprise, "Miss Tao, are you sleeping?"
"Ahsan, come in."
Tao Xiushui took down the door bolt and let Ah San into the house, and said anxiously, "How is it?
Ah San replied, "Miss Tao, haven't you slept all night?"
"Leave me alone, have you rescued your people?"
Ah San sighed, "The rescue is rescued, but this person is also wasted", he was deboned and chopped by Xiao Xiang's subordinates, and it is up to him whether he can grow up in the future.
Although Tao Xiushui thought that this person would not be good, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard such a serious situation.
At that time, it was she who was carried away by hatred to let people do this, and it was her fault.
"Let your general ask the best doctor to heal him, if he is not good, he will send someone to serve him well, the general's mansion is so big, there must be no shortage of food and clothing for one person"
Ah Sanyi hugged his fists and said: "Subordinate Miss Xie, the general also said this, but with the girl's words, the subordinates will never give up"
Tao Xiushui smiled, "What is dead and alive, I want you all to live well, do you hear?"
"Yes"
"Okay, I'm sleepy if I haven't slept all night, I don't have to get up so early tomorrow, let's sleep until I wake up naturally!
She said with her hand over her yawning mouth.
Ah San was ordered to retreat on his own.
Tao Xiushui blew the oil lamp, put down the book, and went to sleep without reading.
I slept until three o'clock in the morning.
By the time she finished cleaning up and eating, it was already afternoon.
I wanted to go to Qinghe to have a look, but I didn't think about it, but I heard Qingzhu come back and say that she met the guy at the shopkeeper Liu in the market, and he said that our eldest lady was going to come with the son of the Xiao family, as if she wanted to move into the capital. “
"What?" It's not enough for this girl to fill in the mess here, and the mother also comes to fill in the mess, what kind of world is this.
"That guy also said that our lady brought a lot of people with her this time!"
"Come on, as long as she's not afraid, let's take care of it! Just come by herself, or lead the second and third masters, by the way, and the old lady will come too?"
Qingzhu thought for a while, "I haven't heard of anyone else, I only heard that Mrs. is coming, maybe others have to stay at home and can't come!"
"It's also possible, after all, her daughter is here!
When Xiao An went back, Tao Xiushui asked him to help the Tao family say a word, saying that Tao Xiumei was going to find her mother-in-law's house here."
Tao Xiushui's original intention in saying this sentence was to let someone come to bring this lady back, anyway, it would be done, but she couldn't be with Xiao Yan.
If Tao Xiumei really insists on being with Xiao Yan, she must make an incident and let her see Xiao Yan's true colors.
A person who does everything and can be with anyone, and doesn't care about men or women, she really doesn't know how good this person's temper is, on the contrary, this one used to be very irritable, and he injured the subordinates in the prime minister's mansion at every turn, and he could kick him far away.
Tao Xiumei has been pampered since she was a child, so let her taste what it is like to be beaten.
She thought mischievously, so she led Ah San to the shopkeeper Liu.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I heard you say that my mother-in-law is coming"
"Yes, it was a fellow who came first day and night, so that I could pick a house to live in.
"Ah, I have bought a house, why, is my wife going to live here permanently?
"Listen to what the little guy said"
"It seems that I want to have more than one family" Tao Xiushui said jokingly: "Shopkeeper Liu wants to buy the house there"
"I want to buy the east side of the capital, although my wife will feel abrupt at first time, but it will be good after a long time"
"Okay, buy that place, anyway, I'm not necessarily living with it, by the way, has Tao Xiumei come to see you these days?
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, "This kid really hasn't been here, how is she, isn't she doing well now?"
Tao Xiushui said there: "If you always want to go and see, Tao Xiumei's place is not far away, I don't know if this person is good or not, you also know, I have a problem with my relationship with her, so it is in vain to ask this person." ”
Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "Alas, the old slave wants to go, but that's the eldest lady, I want to be reckless and lose it, will it make her unhappy?"
"It's okay, what's not to be happy about, you are her family, how can she still coax you out, I'm going to go and she may coax me out, you can't get old"
Tao Xiushui tried his best to encourage the shopkeeper Liu to see Tao Xiumei, just to let the Tao family know who Tao Xiumei lives with, how is she doing there, is she doing well, or something?"
She was afraid that Mrs. Tao would ask her, and she said that this person would not stop talking, and then she would be honest.
If you want to go with the shopkeeper Liu, Mrs. Tao will not say anything like this.
One said her daughter was not good, and the two said that it was not like that.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, I'll tell you now, Mrs. Tao will come to reconcile with you, and you will hand over the silver you earned, but if she doesn't fight against you, you give her the silver again, I don't agree.
Originally, my father stipulated that anyone in any shop would know who would do it. Whoever fights will be managed, don't put the money in the sedan chair when the time comes, and then reconcile with me, I won't admit it.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't expect that there would be rain today, and the sky was gray for a while, so he hurriedly let everyone into the house.
