Chapter 21 The Jade Bracelet of 30,000 Taels

When Gu Qingcheng and Mo Lianqi walked to Donghua Palace, the dinner party was about to start. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 So when the two of them appeared, almost all eyes were on the entrance to the banquet.

The marriage between King Jing's Mansion and the Gu family can be said to have spread throughout the capital, and the talk of the Gu family replacing the bride has made everyone still talk about it.

Who doesn't know that Prince Jing's legs are crippled, and the Gu family is unwilling to marry the young lady of the Gu family, so he took back the third miss of the Gu family who was abandoned eight years ago.

It is said that the third lady of the Gu family is not simple, and she can survive until she returns to Beijing after being abandoned for many years. It is said that the third lady of the Gu family also placed the Gu family's housewife Xiang before getting on the sedan chair.

Uh-huh, the jade bracelet of three thousand taels, that Miss Gu San is really ruthless. The Xiang family spent three thousand taels, and in the end, the jade bracelet was transferred to the old lady of the Gu family as a favor.

Besides, on the day when the Gu family and King Jing's Mansion had a happy event, Miss Gu refused to marry King Jing's body, but the third lady of the Gu family was sent to the sedan chair of King Jing's Mansion.

Sure enough, when Princess Jing returned to the door for the third time, it was called a lively one. The entire Gu Mansion, including the old lady of the Gu family, was forced to kneel down at the door of the Gu Mansion to greet the third lady of the Gu family.

A third lady who was abandoned became a phoenix on the branch in a blink of an eye, or the Gu family held it by herself, that feeling, it is estimated that the old lady of the Gu family vomited blood behind her back.

The matter is not over here, everyone knows that Gu Shixian, the son of the Gu family, is a well-known exaggerated and lustful person in the capital. The delicate third lady of the Gu family married the widow of Prince Jing, and the son of the Gu family was so bold that he couldn't even let go of his own sister.

The third lady of the Gu family is also a ruthless character, such a deep lotus pond, she jumped down without blinking. In the end, the son of the Gu family not only did not kiss Fang Ze, but was also caught by Prince Jing.

The old lady Gu also doted on her only grandson, and the private guards of the Gu Mansion were all given to him. The crime of the Gu family's catastrophe is not small. In order to save her grandson's life, the old lady of the Gu family handed over the treasure she got from Mrs. Yue back to the third lady of the Gu family.

Although the affairs of this Mrs. Yue were hidden back then, the people sitting there were all people with status, so they could naturally know a thing or two.

Anyway, this Princess Jing was really unlucky, and the treasure was stolen by the first god thief Gu Li as soon as she got it. Although I don't know if this news is true or not, the wanted warrant at the level of King Jing's Mansion is conclusive.

The third lady of the Gu family can gain a firm foothold in the Jingwang Mansion in such a short period of time, and with this single rush, the third miss of the Gu family is not a village girl who doesn't understand anything. Look at it, the matter between the Gu family and this Princess Jing is definitely not over yet.

Gu Qingcheng ignored everyone's whispers, and walked generously to the seat of King Jing's Mansion with Mo Lianqi. Raising his eyes and looking in the direction of the Gu Mansion, he found that the people from the Gu family had not yet arrived. She remembered that when she entered the palace, the people of the Gu family took the avenue, and it stands to reason that they should arrive at Donghua Palace earlier than herself.

The people of the Gu family are walking on the avenue well, but there is a little Gu Qingcheng who has forgotten that where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and the group of the Gu family was unfortunately delayed.

"Xie Qinglian, what do you mean, it was obviously you who bumped into it yourself, and the jade bracelet was broken. Why should it be on my head? ”

It turned out that Gu Changan accidentally collided with Miss Xie from the General's Mansion when he was going to Donghua Palace, causing Miss Xie's jade bracelet to fall to the ground and shatter.

"Miss Gu's ability to open her eyes and talk nonsense has become good again, obviously it was because you didn't walk long and bumped into me, so the brocade box in my hand fell to the ground.

This jade bracelet took a lot of effort for my brother to find, and today it is a gift for the queen's mother. You broke the queen's gift and just wanted to forget it, my general's mansion is not easy to bully. ”

The General's Mansion is not something that can be compared with the Gu Mansion relying on a little merit of the ancestors, and what General Xie Zhenting holds in his hands is a real military power. Not only did General Xie Zhenting have heavy troops, but even Xie Qingjun, the son of the General's Mansion, also had meritorious deeds, and he had already followed his father into battle to kill the enemy at a young age.

When Gu Changan met Xie Qinglian, it was impossible to be simple and private, not to mention that this was the queen's birthday gift, and this alone was enough for Gu Changan to drink a pot.

Xie Qinglian's words made the faces of the Gu family look very ugly, although the two families walked on the road together, no one noticed.

But Gu Changan is not a reckless person, and how could it be so coincidental, the queen's gifts were thrown to the ground, and the gifts they prepared were all held safely by their subordinates. Xie Qinglian came on purpose to find fault.

"Miss Xie, is this deliberately trying to get along with our Gu Mansion? Although the General's Mansion has the power, don't forget that Concubine Mei in the palace is surnamed Gu. Although our Gu Mansion is small, we can't allow others to be bullied. ”

The most disdainful thing for Old Madam Gu is that others don't take Gu Fu seriously, and the Concubine Mei she said in her mouth is Gu Ruanmei, the daughter of the old lady, who was named Concubine Mei because she gave birth to Princess Tingyi. For this reason, Mrs. Gu is often proud that Concubine Mei is her daughter.

I have long known that the old lady of the Gu family is a mean and difficult opponent, and today I really hated it as my brother said.

Gu Changan was really right in one sentence, Xie Qinglian deliberately bumped into her and threw the brocade box in her hand to the ground, the purpose was to teach her a good lesson for Brother Lian Qi. A cat and a dog who don't know where they came from dare to dislike Brother Lian Qi, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead.

"Old lady, is this a threat to our General's Mansion? Although our general's mansion did not produce a concubine Mei, it was also highly valued by the emperor.

Since Miss Gu refuses to admit her mistake, then I am not casually bullied, so I will go to the emperor to evaluate me and see how Miss Gu should be convicted of breaking the queen's gift. ”

After Xie Qinglian finished speaking, she was about to take her maidservant to the emperor for comment, but when the eldest lady saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her regardless of etiquette and didn't let her leave.

Maybe she can ignore other people's words, but she can't believe Xie Qinglian's words. Xie Qinglian's mother, Mrs. Jingguo, died in order to help the emperor block arrows, and the emperor posthumously named her Mrs. Jingguo as a first-class lady in order to show the saving grace of the general's wife. The status is below the queen's mother, and above the concubines.

If Xie Qinglian went to the emperor to comment, then there would be room for them to speak.

"What are you doing, lady? Is it difficult for the Son of Heaven to still want to detain Miss Ben? ”

Xie Qinglian just expected that the Gu Mansion would not dare to make a big fuss, so she was so fearless. Can you compare with her backstage?

"Miss Qinglian is serious, who doesn't know that Miss Qinglian is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Just now, our parent An accidentally touched Miss Qinglian, and this jade bracelet will be compensated by our Gu Mansion, and I hope that Miss Qinglian will not care about the villain, so there is no need to alarm the emperor. ”

The eldest lady knew that today's matter would definitely not be left like this, let alone let Xie Qinglian stab the emperor. They have a big purpose for tonight's birthday party, but they can't mess it up before it starts.

Xie Qinglian was waiting for the eldest lady's words: "The eldest lady is still sensible, I also said it just now." This jade bracelet was found by my brother with a lot of effort, and it is very valuable.

I was supposed to take it as a gift for the queen's birthday today, but who knew that it was accidentally broken by Miss Gu. I'm not an unreasonable person, you can pay 30,000 taels for this jade bracelet. ”

"What, you will ask for 30,000 taels for this broken bracelet, why don't you just rob it."

The biggest reaction was Gu Changan, Xie Qinglian who was not she bumped into in the first place, and now she is forced to take the charge of compensation, and Xie Qinglian is 30,000 taels as soon as she opens her mouth. Others also have the same idea as Gu Changan, no matter what, it is impossible for a jade bracelet to cost 30,000 taels of silver.

"Look at what Miss Gu said, why isn't this jade bracelet worth 30,000 taels of silver? This jade bracelet was bought by my brother from a foreign merchant at a high price in the border city, and it is very precious and verdant.

People like you who have never seen the world have never seen such expensive things does not mean that there are no more in the world. What's more, this is a gift for the queen's mother. I'm just polite now to ask you to pay my brother for the silver for the bracelet.

Besides, before Princess Jing got married, didn't she also buy a jade bracelet of three thousand taels from Bai Yuxuan to honor the old lady. Do you think my jade bracelet is a mortal thing? ”

Gu Qingcheng's jade bracelet of three thousand taels caused a lot of turmoil at that time. The meaning that Xie Qinglian proposed at this time was only known to herself. Anyway, the Gu family has to pay if they don't pay this time.

The most ugly faces are the eldest lady and the old lady. The eldest lady paid for the jade bracelet for nothing, and the old lady, she estimated afterwards that the jade bracelet that Gu Tingcheng bought was not worth three thousand taels at all. Now that I think about it, their Gu Mansion was cheated by Gu Qingcheng and King Jing's Mansion at all.

Now Xie Qinglian's jade bracelet is 30,000 taels as soon as she opens her mouth, and it is really strange that the two of them can look good. But the current situation can allow them to say no, they have completely jumped into Xie Qinglian's pit.

"Yes, Miss Qinglian. Thirty thousand taels of silver, our Gu Mansion can still afford it. Tomorrow we will send someone to deliver it to the house in person, so Miss Qinglian is still satisfied? The Grand Lady almost gritted her teeth to say this. 30,000 taels, that's the expenditure of their Gu Mansion for a year.

"That's not going to work, what if you don't pay your debts tomorrow? Well, you can give me an IOU now. If you regret not paying me back tomorrow, I can still take this IOU and ask the emperor to judge me, do you say yes, eldest lady. ”

As Xie Qinglian spoke, she asked the maidservant girl beside her to take out the pen, ink and paper that she had prepared and handed it to the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked at this posture, and could only hate and unwillingly hit the IOU of 30,000 taels.

Xie Qinglian took the IOU and put it in her sleeve pocket after confirming that it was correct, and then instructed the maid to put away the jade bracelet and brocade box. swaggered goodbye to the old lady and went first.

By the time the eldest lady thought of taking the broken jade bracelet, it was too late. Just kidding, it's the bracelet she bought casually on the side of the road, where would she dare to get it for them, otherwise it would be exposed.

The onlookers saw that Xie Qinglian had cheated 30,000 taels so easily, and their impression of the General's Mansion became even more ferocious. And the Gu family's 30,000 taels before the birthday banquet began, which was later spread by onlookers and became a joke.
