Volume 1, Chapter 88: An Zhichen (II)
Ah Gui looked at Yue Yao's carriage and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, do you think the third girl will lend money to this young man?" I think ......" The latter words immediately retracted after touching the young man's cold eyes.
Hua Bud looked at Yueyao looking for the bag containing the money, and was shocked and couldn't speak.
Mother Deng was taken aback: "Girl, really lend him money?" This kind of person doesn't need to be bothered. "For people who kick their noses and faces like this, they can't pay attention.
Yueyao waved her hand: "Needless to say, I know it in my heart." β
They didn't bring much cash with them when they went out this time, only more than 30 taels of broken silver. Of course, Yue Yao brought a silver ticket with her. Yue Yao took the lotus of the flower bud and wrapped it in two taels of silver, and then stuffed a silver ticket into it.
Mother Deng's eyes widened: "Girl, you ......" not only gave the silver, but also gave the silver ticket, the girl was stunned.
Hua Bud also thinks that her own girl is incredible, does the girl feel that she has more money and burns her hands, when she is used to scattering wealth and virgins, others borrow money and give it.
Yueyao ignored the reactions of Mother Deng and Hua Bud, and after handing over the purse to Peng Chun, she lowered her voice and said, "Later, you will tell him in private that I don't need to pay back my silver, but I have to remember that he owes me a favor and will have to pay it back later." "The silver is not in Yueyao's eyes, the key is to be able to get this person's favor, maybe it will be of great use to her in the future.
Peng Chun's face was suspicious: "The girl knows this person?" β
*one* book* read* small* said ybdu Yueyao shook her head: "I don't know." She didn't know this person, but she guessed the identity of this person, and if she hadn't been in this situation, she wouldn't have borrowed money from her.
Peng Chun was speechless, I don't know how to let others owe you a favor, and I will find someone to pay it back in the future. However, seeing Yueyao's appearance, he didn't ask any more questions, took the silver and said to Tingli: "Eldest young master, the girl said that she was willing to lend money to this person." β
Tingli looked at Yueyao's carriage speechlessly.
Ah Gui directly thought that these three girls had a lot of money and burned their hands. Others ran up to borrow silver and borrowed, although the money was not much, looking like only a few taels of silver, but Agui still felt that the three girls were two hundred and five, and he didn't know if he borrowed money or not.
Tingli really didn't want to say anything more: "Since you borrowed the silver, let's go!" We still have to hurry. "Yue Yao said to borrow silver, can he still say that he will not borrow. The money is not his, and he has no right to say anything.
Peng Chun sent the boy away from the team, and before leaving, he relayed Yueyao's words: "Childe, my girl said that you don't need to pay back the silver, but you owe my girl a favor, and you will have to pay it back in the future." "As for what the girl wants this favor to do, he doesn't know.
The young man glanced at Yue Yao's carriage, nodded and said, "You tell your girl, I will definitely repay her in the future for this favor." "Although the money is a little less, it is indeed a debt of favor.
After the young man waited for Peng Chun to leave, he was going to put the purse into his arms, but after touching it, he felt that there was a piece of paper inside, opened the purse and took it out, in addition to two taels of silver, there was also a silver ticket, a silver ticket of two hundred taels.
The young man looked at the silver ticket of two hundred taels, and looked at the departing convoy with a strange face. In fact, he was looking for this girl in the noodle restaurant just now, and the girl is generally very talkative and sympathetic, even borrowing two taels of silver just now may be a gesture for this girl. But two hundred taels, that's not a trivial matter. This made the young man really curious: "The three girls of the Lian family are a little interesting." Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back in the future. β
Mother Deng couldn't help it: "Girl, how much silver did you give this person?" β
Yue Yao didn't say much: "With the silver ticket, a total of fifty-five taels of silver." "If you want to say two hundred taels, it is estimated that Mother Deng will have to scold. In fact, Yue Yao didn't have fifty taels of silver tickets in her hand, and the least was one hundred taels of silver tickets.
Mother Deng breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, don't do such a thing again in the future." "The girl really doesn't use the money for money!
Yue Yao smiled lightly, not everyone can make her take out so much silver. There is naturally a reason why she can come up with so much silver.
Ting Zheng muttered, "Sister, I'm sleepy." "Tingzheng has the habit of taking a nap, and he has to go to bed when it's time.
After Yue Yao coaxed Ting Zheng to sleep, she also squinted her eyes. I don't know how long I slept when I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside. If you go directly, it would be fine, but I didn't expect these people to stop and ask Tingli: "May I ask if you have seen a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, probably so ......tall" This person described the appearance and characteristics of this young man to Tingli.
Tingli didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the young man just now. But thinking about the hideous scar on the young man's face and the anger all over his body, he shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see it." β
After a rush of horses' hooves, a cloud of dust was raised. Peng Chun walked over to Yue Yao and said, "Girl, just now the people from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion were asking us if we had seen the third young master of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. In fact, Peng Chun felt that the young man just now was the person they were looking for, but he had no evidence. However, because of this speculation, Peng Chun specially told Yueyao.
Yue Yao glanced at Peng Chun in surprise: "The people from the Hou Mansion are looking for someone, you come and tell me what to do?" She was surprised by Peng Chun's attitude.
Peng Chun looked at Yue Yao's strange eyes, and felt that he must have thought too much, the girl was just kind, where would she guess that the young man just now was likely to be the third son of the Hou Mansion.
Mother Deng thought for a moment and said, "Could that young man just now be the third son of the Hou Mansion?" After thinking for a while, he said to himself: "No, I haven't heard of the disfigurement of the third prince." "Those two scars are scary to look at, of course, the most important thing is that there is no rumor that the third son is disfigured outside.
Yue Yao didn't speak, in fact, she guessed just now that the person who asked her to borrow money just now was the third young master of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. She wasn't very familiar with this person, because she hadn't heard much of this person when she left the capital, but looking at this person's cold eyes without a trace of warmth made Yue Yao very uncomfortable. Those eyes reminded her of what had happened to her.
Hua Bud was interested: "Qiaolan, who is this third son?" Why did you want to escape from the Hou Mansion? Isn't the Hou Mansion bad? β
Qiao Lan's face was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Yue Yao smiled: "If there is anything you can't say, you should listen to the gossip." "Their group has been in Jiangnan, only Qiaolan has been in the capital for so many years, and she is more familiar with the affairs of the capital than them.
Qiao Lan saw that Yueyao didn't mind, so she said: "Mrs. Weiyuanhou gave birth to a pair of twins eleven years ago, one is the second young master, and the other is the third young master they are looking for. However, the two brothers don't look alike, the second young master is handsome, and the third young master is tall and burly, I heard that the third young master looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old adult at the age ......of eleven, "Thinking of the young man I met in the noodle restaurant, Qiao Lan always felt that this young man had a lot to do with the third young master of the Hou Mansion."
Seeing Qiao Lan pause, Yue Yao didn't speak: "Go on......" She also wanted to know why this third prince ran away from home, and he was still such a cold person.
After listening to what Qiao Lan said about the third son of the Hou Mansion, she could only say that this was really an unlucky child.
The third young master of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is called An Zhichen, and the second young master An Zhixiao were originally twins, with the eldest son on it, and there is no problem that the heirs will be confused, so the twins should be a great joy in other people's families. But the Fang family, who was still the wife of the prince at the time, was very disgusted with this son, and ignored it from birth, but spoiled the second son like a baby pimple. Later, it was rumored outside that the third young master was not born to Mrs. Shizi, but to Aunt Liu, the favorite concubine of Shiziye. In order to give his son a good birth, Weiyuan Hou Shizi put the newborn third young master under the name of the Fang family and acted as a son-in-law.
The gossip that came out had a nose and eyes, saying that the doctor that day did not diagnose that Mrs. Hou Fang was pregnant with twins, and twins are usually born prematurely, but Mrs. An gave birth at term. There are many signs that this is true.
This kind of thing will go on after a long time. After all, there are a lot of strange things in the capital. The wife of the prince didn't make a fuss, and the people next to him watched what the lively people said. However, when the third young master was five years old, he encountered another catastrophe, and he lost it when he watched the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth and was abducted by a kidnapper.
The 15th Lantern Festival is very lively, and the loss of children often happens, because this is a good time for abductors. It's just that such things generally appear in the homes of civilians, and it is really rare to be in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, one of the four major marquis mansions.
This incident caused a stir at the time, and the government arrested a lot of abductors, but the lost children could not be recovered, so the third young master of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion was not recovered.
But what made people lose their eyes was that half a year later, the child went home by himself. It is said that when he returned home, he was dressed in tatters, so thin that he didn't have a single or two flesh on his body, and was blasted away by the porter as a beggar. Fortunately, this child was very smart, and he kept guarding the door until the old marquis came out at that time, and rushed up to call his grandfather.
It's not a long time to lose it, it's only half a year, and no matter how skinny he is, he is still recognized by the old marquis. This matter was also a hot topic in the capital at that time. So it's hard for Qiaolan not to want to know. It's just that I was very curious at the time, how did this third young master return to the capital, and what happened in the past six months? It's a pity that it's still a mystery.
Yueyao's face was very strange: "How could you be abducted by a kidnapper?" "Not to mention the son of the Hou family, there is a personal servant next to Tingzheng and two elders who follow him inch by inch. And generally in the market or any lively place, it is necessary to double the number of people to protect. So this so-called abduction is very suspicious. Compared with the young man's cold expression, I am afraid that things will not be so simple.
Yue Yao could guess whether it was the young master, the third young master of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, or those two scars. You must know that in her previous life, she was full of scars on her face, and she is very familiar with scars. Those two scars looked hideous and terrifying, but Yue Yao could see that they were fake, as if she could see at a glance that Yue Huan was pretending to have amnesia. It was also at that time that she knew that the young man was likely to be the third son that the Marquis of Weiyuan was looking for.
Qiao Lan shook her head: "I don't know." However, after he came back, he was taken by the old marquis to be personally raised. It is said that the old marquis has been raised by anyone in the Hou Mansion by his side, and there is no prince in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. It can be said that it is a blessing in disguise. "This is indeed a blessing in disguise, and the children who can be taught by the ruler of the Hou Mansion will definitely benefit immensely. Not to mention the others, the vision and knowledge alone will benefit immensely, not to mention the people you come into contact with. These things are not something that money can measure, and when you learn the real skills, it is more practical than how much money you get.
Yue Yao is a little weird, since she is a concubine, even if she is under the name of her concubine, but as the head of the family, even if the Hou Ye does not hate the concubine, he should not favor one over the other: "What happened later? "There are so many rights and wrongs of high-ranking families.
Qiao Lan paused for a moment and said, "The old marquis passed away nine months ago. However, I heard that the old marquis separated before his death. Everyone thought that the third young master would be so favored by the old marquis that he would definitely get a lot of family assets, but they didn't expect that the old marquis only gave the third young master 300 acres of land, which is said to be an inferior field. β
Yueyao is the head of the jaw, the old marquis actually really hurts his grandson when he does this. Three hundred acres of land is an inferior field, and the annual interest is only two or three hundred taels of silver, this money will naturally not cause people to be angry, and the third young master will not be hated when he gets this land safely. If he gave a large sum of money, he would definitely dislike his children and grandchildren, and Mrs. Shizi, who did not like her son, was the first to be unhappy. And An Zhichen, who has gained a lot of money, must have made everyone jealous, and he has not lived a peaceful life. It's definitely not a good thing for An Zhichen: "The old marquis is a rare clarity. β
Qiao Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard Yueyao's words, and then smiled: "It's still a girl who is transparent." At first, she thought that the old marquis was a concubine, and she didn't think about the twists and turns in it.
Yue Yao smiled lightly and didn't speak again. In fact, what about the abundance of money. The most important thing is to rely on yourself, you have the ability, and the money will always be there. If you don't have the ability, not only will you not be able to keep your money, but you will also cause trouble.
Hua Bud couldn't help but interject: "What about the old marquis's other private rooms?" Are they all put in the public or are they divided? "I have to be curious about this!
Qiao Lan's face was strange: "Speaking of which, this is the real weirdness, I heard that the old marquis gave his private house to the eldest grandson, who is now the son of the Marquis of Weiyuan; The second son only got some pen and ink calligraphy and paintings, but those pen and ink calligraphy and paintings were worth more than the third young master's. "Any one of these things is hundreds or thousands of taels.
Yue Yao was a little surprised: "What is the reason?" β
Qiao Lan said with a smile: "Girl, the slave maid also heard that the old marquis of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion loved this grandson very much, and invited a famous teacher to teach, but unfortunately the gentleman said that the third young master's rotten wood could not be carved, and finally this gentleman taught the second son An Zhixiao." β
Yue Yao's face crossed with doubts: "Mr. said that the third young master's rotten wood cannot be carved?" β
Qiao Lan nodded: "Yes, but I heard that the old marquis invited a master to teach him martial arts riding and archery to the third young master, and it is said that he learned very well." The specifics are not clear. β
Yue Yao nodded: "No wonder." "No wonder this boy was so loved by his grandfather. The Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has obtained a hereditary title for military merits, and the foundation is in the army, so it is naturally a good thing that his grandson has a talent for martial arts. Yue Yao even guessed that the so-called rotten wood that could not be carved was a trick. It's just that he didn't see anyone, and when he saw people, Yueyao didn't think that this young man was a reckless man who only knew how to learn martial arts. From the fact that he was able to avoid the family and get Lu Yin to escape the tracking of the Hou Mansion three or four times, he knew that this son was not simple, and he couldn't do it without enough strategy.
Hua Bud didn't think about it so much, but said curiously: "This third young master only has the love of his grandmother, what about Wei Yuanhou?" And what about Aunt Liu? "It's understandable that Mrs. Weiyuanhou doesn't like it, after all, she wasn't born by herself, and she is still a concubine. But Wei Yuanhou and Aunt Liu must be very in love, but after listening to Qiaolan's words, it seems that this is not the case.
Qiao Lan thought for a while and said, "Wei Yuanhou doesn't like this son, saying that he doesn't look like him. Wei Yuanhou is a famous beautiful man in the capital, but the third young master is tall and burly. β
Yue Yao shook her head, sure enough, her father didn't hurt: "What about Aunt Liu?" "It doesn't make sense, Aunt Liu
Qiao Lan thought about it for a while and said: "I heard that Aunt Liu's health has always been poor, so she went to the countryside to recuperate in Zhuangzi for a period of time, and returned to the Hou Mansion after she recovered from her illness. However, it is rumored that the third young master is not close to her, and I don't know if there are others. In fact, Qiao Lan felt that putting people under the name of his wife in this way would make the situation even more embarrassing.
Yue Yao chuckled: "What about the son of the Marquis of Weiyuan?" β
Qiao Lan thought for a while and said: "Girl, the son of the Marquis of Weiyuan is mediocre in terms of literature and martial arts, and has no reputation, but the second son of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has outstanding literary talents, and he was admitted to the Xiucai at the age of eleven; Therefore, whether it is Wei Yuanhou or Mrs. Wei Yuanhou, they all love this second son very much. It's all a baby bump. β
Yue Yao shook her head, maybe things won't be so simple. But whether it's simple or not, it has nothing to do with her, she just spent money to buy An Zhichen's favor. Seeing that An Zhichen will not be a simple person, this favor may come in handy in the future: "Are there any people in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who are in charge of military power?" Yue Yao felt that An Zhichen must have taken out the Hou Mansion to defect to someone, and An Zhichen's reputation abroad was martial arts, so it was definitely not a civil official, but a military attachΓ©. Because if he joins the army, he can't enter before he is old, and if he wants to enter the barracks at the age of eleven, he must go through special channels, and this is none other than a clansman.
Qiao Lan shook her head after thinking for a while: "I don't know about this." "It's no problem to talk about the gossip in the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, after all, there was a lot of trouble back then, and everyone in the capital heard about it, but if you want to say that any of the relatives in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are big officials outside, Qiao Lan really doesn't know.
Yue Yao smiled: "I hope it is as I wish." β
Qiao Lan listened to this sentence thoughtfully.
