After Wu Suji said goodbye, Qian Xuan Dao Mo asked to see him outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Have you inquired about the affairs of the palace?" Last time, Xiang Zhe said that he sent someone to collect the details of the new palace concubine, and it seems that everything has been done.

"The words of the lady are here," he said, handing over a handful of notes. Very meticulous, is the style of Xiang Zhe.

"Okay, thank you brother for bothering, I'll take a closer look" Nie Qishu closed the codex and continued to ask, "How is the Nie family's situation now?" ”

"Back to the lady's words, it's already a mess, I thought it wouldn't be long before it would fall apart, but the eldest lady of the Nie family in the palace is quite favored, and I'm afraid it's ...... to have intervened in this matter."

"How is Nie Yuanniang?" Nie Qishu was puzzled.

Mo Li said respectfully, "I was awarded the title of serving from the seventh grade, although the grade is not high, but I am quite favored among the new palace concubines, the old lady entered the palace to see her, and after that, the debt collector did not come to the door to make trouble."

Nie Qishu said calmly, "As expected, Nie Xiuyuan is also a big official, if it weren't for the birthday banquet, he must have entered the cabinet now, and Yuan Niang looks so beautiful, but it doesn't matter, the Nie family is already at the end of the crossbow, the so-called wall is pushed by everyone, the warmest thing in the world is the human heart, and the coldest is also the human heart, let her toss it, tell my brother not to care." Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I will kill them with a stick, how boring it would be. ”

"Yes, the subordinates are retiring" Looking at Nie Qishu's slightly raised eyebrows, the fingers on the Taishi chair were twisted together and rubbed gently, and there was a cold coldness in his tone, Mo Li seemed to feel a cold current drifting by.

Nie Xiuyuan offended Li Shangshu's family because of the Nie family's Dalang, not only did the marriage not come to fruition, but the promotion of the official position was not transferred for a long time, he was originally promoted all the way to this place by relying on the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and now the boat of friendship with the Shangshu Mansion is capsizing, Li Shangshu did not step on him, it is already very interesting, and the Zhao family does not stop forcing the Nie family to settle a family affair.

Nie Xiuyuan felt that although he was so angry that his fingertips trembled in Dalang's marriage, it was already a boat, and it was useless to say more, but even if he married the Zhao family, the old lady of the Li family was also his mentor, not to mention that if an official offended the official Shangshu, he would be transferred and promoted in the future, and he would be able to stay in one place until he died. The top priority at the moment is not to let Li Shangshu resent him.

So he didn't have a good time during the whole New Year, either in dredging and dotting, or in easing the relationship with Li Fu, but many visits were blocked out of the house, and finally caught up with Li Shangshu's brother-in-law through a twisting relationship a few years ago, saying that Li Shangshu was the younger brother of his concubine, and sent a large sum of silver, promising to blow the pillow wind, but this guy has a big appetite, seeing that the money at home is getting less and less, and after the festival to visit relatives and friends, the return gifts used are all returned gifts from the west family to the east family, and the east wall is simply demolished to make up the west wall.

The use of each room is becoming more and more simple, at the beginning there are a few boxes of snacks, a few kinds of fresh vegetables, the burned carbon is smoking, the second lady is just complaining a few words in private, and when the second master wants to return to office, the public middle school can not even get the travel expenses, the second lady is angry and explodes, it is too deceitful, and the family has not been separated, and the silver is put on the big house, how to live this day.

Angrily went to the big house, and the eldest lady who was settling accounts said as usual, "What is the matter with my brother and sister?" ”

Originally, the second lady didn't know how to speak, and when she saw that the eldest lady didn't raise her head and didn't take her seriously, she was even more angry in her heart, "Sister-in-law, there are some things that my brother and sister have to say here, although you are the patriarch of the Nie Mansion, but you can't be so partial, although there are some difficulties in the family for the time being, but it hasn't reached the point where you can't take out hundreds of times, why don't you even have the money that our master took office?"

The eldest lady has been tossed and haggard these days, and at this moment, when she saw the second lady's yin and yang weirdness, she couldn't help but say angrily, ", others don't know about the situation at home, don't you know?" There is no need for silver in that place in the home for the New Year's holiday, Wu Anbo is going back to the dowry, such a big hole, I took out my dowry, and I hope that the family will tide over the difficulties together, and the silver of the second master is not to be given, but there is no money for a while, isn't this being borrowed?"

Hearing this, the second lady also became angry, "There are so many items in the family every year, and at this time, I can't even take out a few hundred yuan of money, are you bullying me for not knowing how to count?" It's not all caused by your family Dalang, let us suffer, besides, the dowry given by Wu Anbo is also for Dalang, but you caused it yourself, and you can get all the benefits to Dafang, but everyone has to bear the disadvantages. ”

The eldest lady jumped up when she heard this and said, "Xu Sanniang, didn't you spend a penny of your family's money?" Where do you not need silver to maintain such a big family, you usually buy a fox fur collar, gouache from Yurong Zhai, and add a delicacies from the mountains and seas, aren't they all silver from the public? ”

"I haven't separated yet, why can't I spend the money in the father, do I have to eat and drink from my dowry? My sister-in-law has been a family member for so many years, I'm afraid she will put all the money in her pocket."

"You long-tongued woman, how dare you frame me"

Without a word, he hit the old lady. The old lady was stimulated twice, committed an old disease, from the years ago to the present have been prepared with a medicine jar, sick, the house is full of the smell of medicine, looking at the disheveled daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, the heartache is even more intense, trembling and said, "Look at you, what do you look like, you are my brother and daughter-in-law, who have I ever favored on weekdays, the eldest daughter-in-law is not easy to be in charge, the boss has indeed had difficulties recently, you can't be considerate" Without waiting for the second daughter-in-law to talk, he continued, "The eldest daughter-in-law is too, just a few hundred dollars, Take it to the second daughter-in-law on the road, is it still a few hundred times in the province? ”

The eldest lady cried miserably, "Mother, the lord is really in trouble this time, I even took out the dowry to subsidize the family, Dalang was forced to marry the nine ladies of the Zhao family, the family is in a mess, and the younger brothers and sisters can't help, even if they can't help, they are still framing their daughter-in-law here and greedy for all the money in the public, and the daughter-in-law is wronged."

Not to be outdone, the second lady cried, "Mother, aren't these things caused by the sister-in-law forcing the fourth lady to marry?" If it weren't for the sister-in-law's covetousness for Wu Anbo's silver for Dalang's future, how could there be these bad things, in the end, it became mine, and the whole family wanted to suffer together, mother, you have to be the master for me."

"Okay, what are you howling, do you want to send me to the coffin?"

"The daughter-in-law didn't dare" saw the old lady getting angry, and both of them kept their mouths shut.

The old lady endured the pain at the corner of her heart and said in a deep voice, "This matter ends here, the second family, I will give me the silver on the road, and the old man will give me the account book, I really have created some evil, and I don't worry about it one by one."

The eldest lady and the second lady were still indignant in their hearts, but they didn't dare to reflect it in front of the old lady.
