Chapter 133: Millennial Old Ginseng

Without waiting for Nangong Yu to speak, Nangong Yi had already made his attitude clear and resolutely stood on his daughter-in-law's side.

When Queen Mo heard this, she laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, a good one who married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother, and got a woman, so she completely ignored her mother and sister, and let our mother and sister be tortured to death by her. ā€

These words are completely aimed at Cai Wei, and there is no intention of avoiding it at all, Cai Wei stopped doing it, and said: "Why did the queen mother say this?" The concubine has only been married for two days, and has always adhered to the queen's duty, worked hard, conscientious, and did not dare to exceed half a step, and the queen mother has now deducted the charge of unfilial piety on the head of the concubine, and the concubine is unbearable to die! ā€

Empress Dowager Mo sneered: "Mu Caiwei, don't pretend to make this well-informed look disgusting to this palace, your ability to violate the yang and yin has been clearly seen in this palace, the son who was raised by this palace with hard work, now you are the only one who is fate, you must have blossomed in your heart, get up early to fight against your mother-in-law, and grind your sister-in-law at night, why did you have such a vicious heart?" Yu'er has an upright temperament, and inadvertently said a few wrong words, and she is too afraid of you, and wants to please you, where are you dissatisfied, sue the palace, and the palace will deal with her to give you anger, but you are good, and directly sent the teacher to guide the grandmother to her palace, so that the world thinks that her upbringing is poor, and her reputation has been ruined, she is now the age when Yunying is to be married, you are like this, so who dares to ask to marry her? ā€

Hearing Empress Dowager Mo's fierce denunciation, Cai Wei showed a mocking sneer: "The queen mother thinks that she said those words inadvertently? ā€

"That's nature, otherwise what would she do to you?"

Empress Dowager Mo couldn't find a reason for Nangong Yu to harm Cai Wei, so she was even more sure that Nangong Yu was an unintentional mistake.

Cai Wei sneered: "If she only said one wrong sentence, it may be understood as an unintentional mistake, but if she repeatedly says it wrong, it can't help but make people doubt her intentions, Princess Chaoyue is already sixteen years old, and she is not a six-year-old little girl doll, how can she make such a low-level mistake, unless it is an ulterior motive and intentional ......." ā€

Before Cai Wei finished speaking, Nangong Yu knelt down with a 'poof' and cried: "Queen Mother, Chaoyue didn't mean it, really not, although Chaoyue offended you before, but my brother has already slapped Chaoyue, and Chaoyue has also married Saknu for you, so you can spare me..." ā€

Nangong Yu cried very much, trembling, and looked frightened.

Empress Dowager Mo saw that her daughter was scared like this by Cai Wei, she was so distressed that her liver trembled, she walked over quickly, personally bent down and helped her daughter up, hugged her in her arms, patted her back while looking at Cai Wei hatefully, and said loudly: "My son doesn't have to kneel to her, she is not worthy, you are the princess of the Golden Branches and Jade Leaves of the Great Jin Kingdom, I think that at the beginning, when you lived in the palace, she was still herding sheep in the countryside and picking up cow dung, but she hooked up with your confused brother who was blinded by lard, I don't know who I am with my tail cocked, a cheap embryo, and I dare to take the queen's money in front of the palace, and I can't say that my son didn't deliberately provoke her, even if it was deliberate, with your identity, she has no right to dispose of you. ā€

At this moment, Empress Dowager Mo was angry and distressed, she was really dead, and she didn't even want to save a little face, so she tore her face and scolded her.

Cai Wei was also choked by Empress Dowager's words, she sneered: "The Empress Dowager's words are wrong, no matter whether the palace has let go of sheep and picked up cow dung, the status of the concubines is here, the concubine is now the queen of the Great Jin Kingdom, the lord of the six palaces, and is ordered by the emperor to assist in the six palaces, since Nangong Yu lives in the palace, the palace has the right to punish her, not to mention her, even the queen mother herself has done something wrong, and the palace also has, right, pass, and ask!" ā€

Empress Dowager Mo had red eyes and said with a smile: "The queen mother is so majestic, even the palace has to listen to you, it's okay, you can send two more teachers to guide the queen over, and even the palace has taught together, okay?" ā€

"The queen mother is serious, and the concubines don't dare."

Cai Wei said coldly: "The queen mother insists on favoring Chaoyue, and the concubines are helpless, but the queen mother is so indulgent and doting, it will hurt her after all, and when the time comes, it will be too late for the queen mother to regret it......"

Empress Dowager Mo gritted her teeth: "Hurt her?" Are you cursing her? This palace is just not allowing you to torture her, how can you hurt her? As for regret, what this palace regrets the most is that you should not have promised you a poisonous woman to enter the palace, as a human wife, you do not want to honor your mother-in-law and treat your sister-in-law well, but you confuse your husband and instigate him to be unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, you are a poisonous woman, you should be beaten into the cold palace, and you will not see the light of day for the rest of your life... ā€

Being cursed so viciously, Cai Wei was furious, she stood up angrily, interrupted the Empress Dowager Mo's chirping and cursing, and said loudly: "I and Chaoyue are not the only ones at today's banquet, why don't the Queen Mother investigate and curse the concubines, so that the charges of grinding the sister-in-law are imposed on the heads of the concubines, and the concubines are humiliated in every way, the Queen Mother's behavior is really unfair, and the concubines are not satisfied!" ā€

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already tense, they were about to fight together.

Nangong Yi hurriedly grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand to prevent her from getting into a fight with her own wife. At this time, he felt the dilemma of being caught between his daughter-in-law and the old lady as a man, in order not to let things worsen, he turned to the Empress Dowager Mo and said quickly: "Queen Mother, no matter what, Chaoyue She did make a mistake, which cannot be shirked, just think that she is the first offense this time and spare her this time, but next time if she commits it again, the new account and the old account will be counted together, and the punishment will be heavy, it is too late today, the queen mother will go back and settle it, and the son will have to go to court early tomorrow, so he will retire." ā€

After saying it in one go, he took Cai Wei's hand and ran out.

Empress Dowager Mo pointed in the direction where Nangong Yi disappeared, and her hands trembled with anger.

"Rebel son, poisonous woman......"

Luo Xue hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Empress Dowager Mo's chest to help her calm down.

"The Queen Mother is angry, her body is important,

After the anger is stopped, the body is important, if you are angry, will it be more called the mind of the vicious person... ā€

Empress Dowager Mo gasped for a while, and said with difficulty: "This matter is not over yet, wait for tomorrow...... Back to the palace......"

Everyone left, Nangong Yu looked at the queen mother sitting on her shoulder, and muttered: "Sister Luoxue, you say, is it very unfilial that I deceived the queen mother like this?" ā€

Luo Xue said: "Don't worry about the princess, we can help the Queen Mother except for this Queen Mu, the demon girl who is in trouble, and set things right, if you really feel guilty for deceiving the Queen Mother, just wait for you to marry the son, and respect her old man." ā€

mentioned marrying Mo Ziqi, the guilt in Nangong Yu's heart suddenly disappeared, and he looked forward to it again, and his eyes became extremely firm.

"Well, then we have to speed up a bit, in a few days, Tuotuo and they will be going back......"

……*……*……

Nangong Yi took Cai Wei back, and Cai Wei was also angry enough, but fortunately, Nangong Yi coaxed, and said a lot of beautiful and good things on the way back, so that Cai Wei's anger gradually subsided.

Coaxed his daughter-in-law, Nangong Yi was overjoyed, tonight will have an unforgettable night, as soon as he returned to Chengqian Palace, he couldn't wait to run to the clean room to take a bath, Cai Wei saw his 100-meter sprint, and his heart shrank......

It looks like it's going to be an all-nighter again tonight......

However, her worries were unnecessary, and when the man came out of the clean room happily, Cai Wei's aunt came unexpectedly!

Xu is because of her nervousness about the big wedding during this time, Xu is because she was tossed too much last night, in short, this time the eldest aunt came seven or eight days early. When Nangong Yi heard the news, his face turned green, he looked at Cai Wei and gritted his teeth, hating to drive her eldest aunt back.

Cai Wei had never welcomed this relative so much, and her dear aunt came, she didn't have to worry about being tossed alive by the beast tonight......

At night, Nangong Yi was very depressed, he didn't know the taste of Dunlun's joy before, but now he has opened the meat and tasted the meat, but he can't eat it just by looking at it, this kind of torment is even more uncomfortable than starving and being injured, he sighed, tossed and turned on the couch for most of the night, and took two cold showers, tossed and tired, and gradually fell asleep......

Following

It is the third day of Cai Wei's marriage, and according to the customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is the day when the in-laws check the dowry of the new daughter-in-law, which is called the 'unpacking ceremony'.

As the queen, Cai Wei's dowry is all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is the silver money from the treasury, and there is no need to be checked, but when she got up in the morning, Chen Shangxi, the chief manager of Yukun Palace, came over to spread the word, saying that the queen mother would bring all the concubines, princesses and princesses over in a while to check the queen's dowry.

When Nangong Yi heard this, he frowned unhappily and said: "The dowries of the queens of the Great Jin Dynasty are all handled by the Internal Affairs Office, what is there to check, if the queen mother likes to see gold and silver treasures, let Meng Huai'an take her to the treasury to see enough!" ā€

Chen Shangxi said: "Back to the emperor, although the dowries of the queens of all dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty are purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but each queen will bring some extra dowries prepared by herself when she marries, when our queen mother married the queen mother, the queen mother checked the dowry of the queen mother, and the dowry of the first queen mother was also checked by our queen mother, so, hehe......"

At this time, Cai Wei had woken up and was lying on the couch to hide, and when she heard that the Queen Mother was going to check her dowry, she naturally understood what was going on.

The Queen Mother must have thought that Cai Wei was just the daughter of a small merchant and couldn't take anything decent as a dowry, and wanted to humiliate her by opening the box to discourage her arrogance.

Fortunately, she knew that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with her background, and she was expected to take advantage of the dowry inspection to give her a dismount, so when she was in her mother's house, she had already handled her dowry properly, and there were countless treasures in her space, and if she took out a few things as a dowry, it was definitely an unprecedented dowry in the history of the Great Jin Kingdom.

It's not that she wants to show off, it's not that she is high-profile, just because the Queen Mother looks down on her background and humiliates her with language like 'herding sheep and picking up cow dung', she has to give her an eye for an eye, give her a little lesson, let her know what it means to be truly rich and powerful!

Outside, Nangong Yizheng ordered Chen Shangxi to step back and not mention the dowry counting, but Cai Wei had already come out.

She was wearing peach-colored profane clothes and pants, with a simple ponytail on her head, and after she came out, she said to Nangong Yi: "Since there are such regulations in the palace, how can I break the rules here?" ā€

After finishing, he turned to Chen Shangxi and said: "The father-in-law who is tired of going back to report to his mother, the dowry of the concubines has been prepared, and he is waiting for the arrival of the queen mother and the concubines at any time." ā€

"Yes, the minion will go back and report it!"

Chen Shangxi withdrew, and Nangong Yi said helplessly: "I have already rejected them just now, the queen mother has always been picky and difficult to answer, why should you agree?" ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "You just have to rest assured, even if she is picky, my things will make her impeccable, I have finally agreed to her today, and it will save her the whole thing of opening the box in the future!" ā€

Nangong Yi knew Cai Wei's superiority, so she put her mind at ease, watched her make up, and the two went to breakfast together.

The emperor's breakfast is very extravagant, with more than 20 dishes, 4 kinds of staple food, and two kinds of porridge (or soup) for breakfast alone. The dishes are mainly chicken, duck, fish, goose, pork and seasonal vegetables, supplemented by mountain delicacies and exotic fruits. The rice eaten is specially cultivated yellow, white, and purple rice, as well as the high-quality "tribute rice" that is paid tribute from all over the world.

The emperor and the queen can't eat these things at all, and at Cai Wei's mention, the breakfast of the two has become very simple, only two kinds of porridge, meat and vegetarian buns, as well as side dishes and pickles, which are light and save money.

Cai Wei felt that wasting such a large amount of money on food was too extravagant, so she mentioned that she had streamlined each meal, and the two of them still couldn't eat it

I still can't eat it, and the rest naturally belongs to Changmei and Brother Parrot.

was eating, and a long singing harmony suddenly sounded outside-"The Queen Mother has arrived!" ā€

Nangong Yi listened, her face was a little unsightly, the Queen Mother was in a hurry to catch his daughter-in-law's pigtails, as soon as she sent the eunuch back, people came non-stop, fortunately his daughter-in-law was prepared, otherwise she would have to be ashamed of her in public today. However, even if his daughter-in-law is not prepared, he will never let his daughter-in-law suffer.

Cai Wei naturally knew her mother-in-law's thoughts, sneered in her heart, put down the unfinished breakfast, took the handkerchief handed by Xiaozhi and wiped her mouth, and took a sip of the mint tea brought by Pei Yao, and walked out with Nangong Yi.

Outside, Empress Dowager Mo just sat down, and was gossiping with Concubine Yao and Concubine Huo, several princesses and princesses stood behind the Queen Mother, and the annoying Princess Tuotuo actually came, after seeing Nangong Yi, his eyes suddenly released a strange brilliance, and he couldn't leave his body anymore.

After seeing Cai Wei come out, Empress Dowager Mo glanced at her, tried her best to hide the disgust in her eyes, and said: "There is no need to salute, just take out your dowry for everyone to see, and it can be regarded as the full number of gifts for this big wedding." ā€

Cai Wei felt a chill, how much did this Empress Dowager Mo have to hate her so that she could ignore her own face and find outsiders to help her laugh at her daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this, she didn't feel a little lost, and her expression darkened a lot.

Originally, she wanted to get along with Empress Dowager Mo, knowing that Empress Dowager Mo loved flowers, she deliberately removed a few pots of extremely rare flowers from the space when preparing the dowry, and planned to give them to her in the future to please her mother-in-law. However, looking at the current situation, her pots of flowers can be regarded as saved, and depending on Empress Dowager Mo's attitude towards her, she would rather give flowers to a stranger she never knew than give them to her.

Cai Wei pursed her lips and said modestly: "The concubine's dowry is thin, and I hope that the queen mother and the princesses will not laugh when they see each other." ā€

Seeing Cai Wei's gloomy expression, Empress Dowager Mo thought that Cai Wei was embarrassed, so she sneered: "You just take it out, everyone knows that your mother's family is poor, but since you are married to the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, presumably your father, who is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, must also try his best to exchange a few eye-catching objects for you, so take it out and show it to everyone!" ā€

Cai Wei chuckled, blessed her body, and said, "Since the queen mother said so, the concubine has no choice but to obey the order, calling Qiu-"

"The slave is here!"

Zhao Qiu stepped forward, still holding the key to the east wing in his hand. Cai Wei's dowry was brought in on the day she married into the palace, all covered with red satin, and it was locked in the east wing, and the key was held by Yu Qiu, no one knew what her dowry was?

"Take someone to bring out the dowry the same, and beware that the flowers don't get broken!"

"Yes!"

Evoking Qiu got up, took the eunuchs of the Chengqian Palace to the east wing, opened the door himself, and went in with a few eunuchs.

Empress Dowager Mo looked at Cai Wei with a joke attitude, she had already found out the dowry prepared for her by the Internal Affairs Office, and also found out the dowry that Nangong Yi gave her when she was the king of Qin, if there were these two things in her dowry, she would definitely expose her in person.

The first dowry was brought out, it was two mahogany painted boxes with copper buckles, Princess Tuotuo already knew the origin of Cai Wei, and said meanly: "The box is quite decent, but I don't know if the contents are worth any boxes." ā€

Cai Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said lightly, "I don't dare to say whether it's worth it or not, but there is one thing, the things in this are definitely something you can't afford!" ā€

Princess Tuotuo was ridiculed by Cai Wei in front of Nangong Yi, and her face turned red with anger, and she shouted arrogantly: "What is something that this princess can't afford, if you have the ability to open it and take a look, other princesses don't dare to say it, at least ten times the silver to buy this box." ā€

Cai Wei smiled unhurriedly: "Princess Tuotuo, don't talk too much, lest she be slapped in the face later, and it will be bad if she can't get off the stage." ā€

Princess Tuotuo said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, open your box, if this princess can't afford to buy ten times the price of the things in your box, it's not too late for you to be arrogant!" ā€

Cai Wei smiled, slowly sat down on the chair beside Nangong Yi, and ordered Qiu to take the key and open the first box.

The first box is stacked with four identical brocade boxes, the box is about two feet long, the workmanship is exquisite, all of them are made of Shu brocade, even the other children are ivory, it can be seen that it is expensive.

Zhaoqiu took out the four brocade boxes, ordered the four palace maids to hold them, and opened the four boxes together.

"Huh-"

The moment the box was opened, everyone gasped almost at the same time, only to see that in the four brocade boxes, there were four very large old ginseng, the ginseng of the reed is a double reed double jujube core, the reed bowl is winding and long, old and straight, the body spirit pattern is like iron wire, leather whiskers, pearl points are obvious, more importantly, the four old ginseng actually grew into a human shape, all four limbs, clear facial features, like four dolls, look at the number of scales on the head of the old ginseng reed, let alone have to have 1,800 years old!

In this era, the ginseng cliff is a precious and rare thing, that is, in the Tai Hospital of the Great Jin Kingdom, there is only a two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and the rest are all one hundred and eighty years old, most of them are thirty or fifty years old, like this thousand-year-old ginseng that has grown into a human shape, not to mention that there is, even if you see them, you have never seen them!

Cai Wei took the teacup, took a sip gently, and said with a smile: "How?" Princess Tuotuo, can you afford these four old ginseng? ā€

Princess Tuotuo pursed her lips, her face was already red to the root of her ears, but she still insisted and said, "It's just a few old ginseng, what's the big deal, this princess can afford it." ā€

"Oh?"

Cai Wei put the tea cup on the plate in the palace maid's hand, looked at her with interest and asked, "Does Princess Tuotuo know how much silver these old ginseng trees in this palace are worth?" ā€

Princess Tuotuo snorted and said, "How much is it worth?" ā€

pick

Cai Wei raised a finger, shook it gently, and said unhurriedly: "It's not much, it's just 100,000 taels." ā€

"What? 100,000 taels? Are you taking Princess Ben for a fool? ā€

Princess Tuotuo cried out, even though she knew the price of ginseng, she pretended not to understand, and did not want to admit that she could not afford these things.

She came to Dajin to congratulate her, in addition to the gifts she brought to Dajin, she also brought 20,000 taels of silver, she felt that these silver were already a lot, enough for her expenses in Dajin, but as a result, all her family assets combined, even this woman couldn't afford a ginseng, this feeling of frustration made her feel too unhappy!

Cai Wei turned to Empress Dowager Mo and said with a smile: "It seems that Princess Tuotuo doesn't understand the ginseng market, and the queen mother told her, are these ginseng trees of the concubine worth 100,000 taels of silver?" ā€

Empress Dowager Mo looked at Caiwei's four thousand-year-old ginseng trees in shock, and her heart was beating violently, and she became more and more convinced that she was the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, otherwise, how could she take out this kind of rare and precious thing casually?

Looking at the entire Great Jin Kingdom, it was difficult to find such a ginseng, but she took out four at once, plus the one that she gave to the Liguo Mansion before, it was a full five!

It's incredible!
