Chapter 312: The Emperor's Cousin
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, especially two tigresses.
Compared with Mrs. Tan, Nianfu feels that her mother is more like a cat in tiger skin, with only scaring minions, so let her do some personal things, forget it, let alone do it, Hui Niang won't even think about it.
Just a few rectums of my mother, I can feel it clearly in two clicks, and when the time comes, I will sell it to others, maybe I will have to help people pay for it.
Nian Fu, who came back to taste, understood Chai Rong's kindness, think about what kind of goods Lu Ying is? What good could she propose? This time, I almost capsized in the gutter.
So Nianfu stepped forward very resolutely and said to Hui Niang, "Sympathy for people doesn't have to take people home, think about the past, we can live such a hard life, why did you give her these money and things but can't live well?" If this is the case, she is incompetent, and no one else is to blame. If you want to die and come into our house, then you don't have a good heart. ”
Hui Niang is straight, but not stupid, to give her daughter this reminder, her attitude became firm again, and said to Mrs. Tan, "Every family is done bit by bit, you still have brothers and sisters, you have a son by your side, what can't you live with all this money?" Not...... How many things did you give her? ”
Mu Shaoqin, who was asked, hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice, "There are two granges in the suburbs of Beijing, one large and one small, some cash, and some antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry items in her and Chengguan's room. ”
Hui Niang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she exclaimed, "If these things are not a loser, they will be enough to eat for a few lifetimes." Is she embarrassed to call? ”
Mu Shaoqin also feels a little too much now, he didn't expect to find his wife and daughter back, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous to outsiders!
This time, Hui Niang was no longer polite, "Speaking of which, if your servant does such a thing, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no guidance from you." Now that she is dead, death is great, I read that you have been happy at the door, after all, there is some hard work, so I won't care about you. But if you don't know what to do, then I will give your mother and son a few hundred taels of silver at most. See for yourself! ”
Mrs. Tan choked so much that she almost fainted. Nianfu also stepped forward to add, "The opportunity is this time, there is no such shop in this village after that, hurry up." We don't have time to stay here with you. ”
Mrs. Tan choked a few times. I swallowed it. Gritted his teeth and agreed. However, she asked to go back to the room to pack her things herself.
This one can. But Nianfu asked the housekeeper to follow, and he counted everything in the same way. Finally, Mrs. Tan has to sign for confirmation. Save your debts.
Hui Niang felt that it was a little redundant, so she promised to give it to her, why are you writing this? But Ouyang Kang said, "What Sister Mu said makes sense. If there is no clear ledger, isn't it a confused account when outsiders ask back? When the time comes, let's talk about the weakness of others, how can we explain it? ”
Hui Niang was overjoyed to hear it, "In the end, he is a reader, and he knows a lot." ”
But Mu Shaoqin was not very happy, he also knew this truth, but he was not as fast as that kid's mouth. Besides, who is "we" with him?
Regardless of whether Mu Shaoqin is happy or not, Empress Dowager Mu is going to talk to him about serious things.
Chai Rong retired with interest, and only told Nianfu, "Your uncle, aunt and cousin have all agreed to work in my Ruyi residence for a year, don't worry, no one dares to bully them." In addition, I also prepared a generous gift, congratulations on your return to your ancestors, and you will be sent when you turn around. ”
Nian Fufu was vigilant again, "There is no need for etiquette, if you want to threaten me with my uncle's family, then I can tell you that your calculation is wrong." ”
Chai Rong smiled, leaned closer to her and whispered, "You will definitely like that gift, if you really don't like it, you can return it." As for your uncle's family, I mean it out of sheer kindness. Forget it, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sooner or later you will know my kindness. ”
What kind of intentions would you have? I really don't believe it.
But Chai Rong smiled meaningfully, didn't say anything, and left with Gao.
I don't know what tricks he played, he disciplined the Gao family obediently, and he didn't dare to put half a fart.
Put aside the anxiety for the time being, Nianfu and Hui Niang went to prepare the New Year's dinner, Ouyang Kang of course seized the opportunity to keep up and patted his mother-in-law's ass.
Although Mu Shaoqin was unwilling over there, the eldest sister was still there, so she pulled him into the room, "I rely on you for this Tan family's affairs, but for the other two things, you have to rely on the mourning family." ”
Having solved Mrs. Tan's big problem, Mu Shaoqin was still quite happy in his heart, "If the eldest sister has anything to say, just give orders." If it's for food, you don't have to worry. Except for some family items, I would like to donate all the rest to the imperial court. ”
Empress Dowager Mu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, then there was only one thing left, "Shao Qin, there is another thing, it may be a little difficult, but please promise the eldest sister no matter what." ”
Although Mu Shaoqin was happy, he did not forget his form, and became vigilant when he heard the words, "Eldest sister, let's talk about it first, what is going on?" ”
"Then you promise the eldest sister first." Empress Dowager Mu played a trick and wanted to make a trick first.
But Mu Shaoqin was not fooled, "Eldest sister said first, I'll see if I can help." ”
"You'll be able to help, just say yes."
Mu Shaoqin became more and more unwilling to be fooled, thinking that if you still want to do something to my wife and daughter, how can I agree? I thought about letting these words out, but I suddenly heard a report, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Sky!
This time, even the Queen Mother was startled, and when she saw the emperor's son who walked in in with a smile on her face in a yellow dragon robe, the Queen Mother blinked vigorously, and even pinched herself with her long nails before confirming that it was true.
Seeing her son return safely, no mother was unhappy, Empress Dowager Mu burst into tears from the bottom of her heart, "Your Majesty, you ...... Are you safe? ”
"Settle! If it weren't for the fact that he was in good health, he wouldn't have heard that his little uncle was looking for his aunt and cousin, so he hurried to meet him. Although Gao Xian was smiling loudly, Mu Shaoqin was blind and his ears were particularly sensitive, so he still carefully captured the hoarse meaning in that hearty laughter.
The emperor is very tired, and he is afraid that he is pretending to be at the moment.
He could hear that Empress Dowager Mu was the emperor's biological mother. How could you not know? On closer inspection, she could see it.
Gao Xian's beard was freshly shaved, the bath was hastily washed, there was still a trace of moisture in the roots of his hair, there was a faint black in his eye sockets, and the whites of his eyes were flushed with red blood, obviously tired. may have drunk strong ginseng tea before barely cheering up.
The Queen Mother was a little distressed, "Although the emperor is safe, he still has to take care of himself." When will this man be seen? Do you have to come at this time? ”
"No, no, no!" Gao Xian glanced at the queen mother again, and there was something different in his smile, which made Empress Dowager Mu's heart skip a beat, what's wrong?
Between words. The people have gone over to spread the word. Summoned Nianfu's mother and daughter. It's not just their mother and daughter. Even the two elders of the Shi family, as well as Shi Gui, Yao Shiyi and Ouyang Kang, all came over. It's just that he was not summoned, and he didn't dare to trespass. Waiting outside.
After all, he is the emperor, just like the giant panda in later generations, who doesn't want to see what the real dragon Tianzi looks like when he has the opportunity? Even Wangcai was mixed with everyone's feet and sneaked in.
Gao Xian seemed to be very interested, and he was also very talkative, "For the New Year, let them all come in, and I also want to recognize my relatives and neighbors." ”
So, a bunch of people poured out. After introducing them one by one, Gao Xian saw Hui Niang's mother and daughter, praised it very much, and gave a special seat to the two elders of the Shi family, and asked them about going to Beijing with a friendly attitude.
Nianfu was afraid that his grandfather would be so nervous that he couldn't speak, but he forgot that the second elder of the Shi family had also done a small business for half his life, and he still had a set of ways to deal with people. Besides, when he is older, he is calm, and he asks and answers some things about the journey, which makes Gao Xian listen very carefully.
It's just that talking about the blizzard disaster in those days, Daddy Shi really sighed, "...... I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen snow like this. That thick place can bury a big living person. It's official, and it's hard work. Fortunately, we always met nobles along the way, and we came smoothly. Just looking at the people affected along the road, it was really uncomfortable. ”
Aunt Shi couldn't help but interject, "This is still the new year, there is still a lot of food around, and it can be taken care of, and when it is not accepted in the next year, I am afraid that people will starve to death." ”
The Queen Mother was unhappy when she heard this, what are you talking about this New Year?
But Gao Xian's face was a little more solemn, "Is that disaster really so serious?" The old man is well-informed, but what is the best way? ”
The second elder of the Shi family was embarrassed, "We can grind tofu, but we really don't have any other skills." ”
Seeing that the emperor's cousin's eyes were even more sad, Nianfu thought about it, "Is there really no food that can be grown in winter?" I remember that there was a kind of wheat that was planted in winter. ”
Empress Dowager Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes and coughed lightly, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, how can there be food grown in winter?" ”
But Daddy Shi didn't want to see his granddaughter being scolded, so he smiled and said, "Don't be annoyed, the queen mother, my granddaughter is really right." In the north of my hometown, there is wheat that is planted in winter, but it is usually sown in autumn, and it is not in time for the season. ”
Gao Xian was very attentive to Nian Fu's words, and thought of inferences, "Old man, you have a lot of things, there is really no food that can grow in winter?" Vegetables are fine. One more bite of food always gives one more way to live. ”
This can stop Daddy Shi, but Mu Shaoqin suddenly remembered something, "Back to Your Majesty, if you want to say that in such a harsh winter, the grass and trees elsewhere have long withered, but near Xishan Hot Spring, there are still many flowers and trees." I heard the craftsmen there say that because the ground is warm, the flowers and trees do not wither in winter. If you change it to food, isn't it the same? ”
Empress Dowager Mu listened to her younger brother's idea, and also wanted to show her knowledge, "Even if you can plant, but Xishan is such a big place, how much food can you grow?" What problems can it solve? However, the emperor said that it is feasible to grow vegetables, but now it is snowing heavily, and there have been no green leafy vegetables in the palace for several days. ”
Hui Niang couldn't help but pout, and said in her heart that this eldest sister really hasn't suffered hardship, and the people are so hungry that they have nothing to eat, she is good, what green leafy vegetables do you want to eat in winter. Is it okay for a poor family like them to not see a little green from October to February every year?
Ke Nianfu suddenly high-fived, "There you have it!" ”
