Chapter 70: Greed
Xu Meixin didn't expect this stubble, she understood it yesterday, when the queen asked Qingrong Hou's daughter that she actually meant Qin Jinyi, she was already like a thunderbolt, and her heart was full of resentment.
At this time, after listening to Mrs. Qiong's reminder, I also felt that it made sense, but I was still very discouraged after thinking about it, no matter what, the emperor appointed Qin Jinyi to go to the palace banquet, which was not good for himself and Xiu'er, and what did he do with that leisure.
Mrs. Qiong understood a little, "Maybe it's for the prince of Chu Chen, right?" ”
Xu Meixin sighed, now that she is no longer able to hold Qin Jinyi, plus a prince, I am afraid that her good days are coming to an end.
Then, she told Jin Yi about asking about Jiang's private property in front of the old lady, "...... Luckily, I've already figured out what to say. And ,......," Xu Meixin told Mrs. Qiong, "you tell my mother in two days, and if anyone comes to ask me if I have borrowed money from her, let her help me pay for it." Also, the inheritance I have now was given to me by my mother. ”
Speaking of this, she was a little uneasy, "I'll tell my mother later." ”
Mrs. Qiong's eyes became a little suspicious, she had always known that the Jiang family had many private properties in her hands, and the amount was definitely not small. She had long known that those were the things of the Jiang family in the past, but she didn't know what kind of means Xu Meixin used to get all of them under her name, and she refused to let go after asking a few times.
Hearing her say that she asked her mother to help round the lie, Mrs. Qiong couldn't help but suspect in her heart, the old lady has always been an iron rooster, could it be that Xu Meixin's private property was really bought by the old lady?
But listening to what she said just now, it didn't look like it, and I couldn't help but change the look on my face.
When Xu Meixin saw her like this, she knew that she was suspicious because of greed, so she swore to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, how can the private property in my hand be given by my mother, and you don't know what kind of person she is, I just asked her to help me make a lie." ”
Mrs. Joan thought about it, if a person like her mother gave her a small shop or two, how could such a large amount of property be given to a daughter who married out. Moreover, even if all the Cai family's rice freight is liquidated, it will not be worth what Xu Meixin has in her hands.
So he put this matter aside and didn't mention it, and talked about Qin Jinyi again.
Mrs. Qiong is in her own home, and she is used to fighting with the ladies in each room, and there are many ways, seeing Xu Meixin's frowns, she helped her analyze, "Regardless of whether the prince has taken a fancy to Qin Jinyi, the most important thing now is that she has won the favor of the old lady and the Hou Ye in your family, if she can lose the support of these two, she will naturally still listen to you, where can she dare to compete with you for the industry?" ”
Xu Meixin sighed, "What you said, do you think I haven't thought about it?" But now that the Hou Ye has lost trust in me, and the old lady has been coaxed into submission by her, how can I fight against her? ”
Mrs. Joan shook her head helplessly, "You, it's been too long to live peacefully in Nafu,......," she whispered, "There are so many of these methods, you can go back and think about it carefully." Don't you forget that you are the mother of the family, she is an unmarried girl, can turn out your palm? ”
Xu Meixin listened to Mrs. Qiong's whisper and thought for a long time.
In fact, she is not a scheming and ruthless person, unlike Mrs. Joan, who has experienced storms and storms. What she has always used is to please the knot, and it is also her luck that makes her beautiful today. Now that I heard Mrs. Joan's idea, I felt a little surprised.
She thought about how to do it, and was in no mood to sit idly anymore. So he got up and went to find his mother, and after he was ready to confess, he hurried home with Xiu'er.
Old Madam Xu sent all her subordinates out according to her wishes, and after listening to what her daughter said, she didn't quite understand, and asked her carefully, "Don't Qingrong Hou know that the property in your hands now belongs to the Jiang family?" ”
Xu Meixin had the intention to cover it up, but she only responded vaguely and did not explain.
The calculation in Mrs. Xu's heart snapped quickly, thinking that the property in her daughter's hands was so huge, Qingronghou didn't know it at all, so she began to complain, "Xin'er, you also know, now our family only lives on your brother's little money, and my mother's rice business is getting worse and worse, next year Yiyao will say goodbye, do you want to add some dowry to her?" Anyway, your brother and sister-in-law have always been good to you, and gifts for embroidery during the New Year's holidays are the heaviest. ”
When she said this, Xu Yiyao and Jinxiu came in from outside, and when they heard their dowry, they couldn't help but prick up their ears.
Today, when she accompanies Jinxiu, she no longer deliberately says flattering words like before. She suddenly felt that Jinxiu was not much stronger than herself. Although marrying the prince looks prosperous, she is just a side concubine, and when the prince becomes the emperor in the future, she is just one of the concubines in the deep palace. There are so many concubines in the harem, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the emperor, and the good years are just in vain. If she doesn't have a son in her life, who will remember her in a few years?
Therefore, when he spoke to Jinxiu, he inevitably stiffened his waist a lot, and he no longer groveled as before.
Xu Meixin listened to her mother's words, and gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. She already had a hard time, and when she returned to her parents' house, she didn't ask about her situation, and now she is worried about her private property, like a dumb person eating coptis, and she is choked and speechless.
Old Madam Xu was a little unhappy when she saw that she was silent, "The things in your hand don't have to be given to Xiu'er, she will be a side concubine in the future, can the specifications of the dowry still surpass the main concubine?" You don't have a son, so could it be that you will bring these things into the coffin in the future? ”
She was originally just a rough girl from a merchant family, and she had not received much education in boudoir etiquette, so her words were a little rough and ugly.
Jinxiu is outside the house today, and finally sees their faces clearly. I just endured it all the time, and I didn't want to make myself lose face even more.
At this moment, when I heard the word "side concubine", my face turned white, and I felt a fishy sweetness in my chest, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out.
She held back, her eyes went from her grandmother in the hall to her mother, and then to Xu Yiyao's green and disdainful face, only to feel that the pain she had suffered these days could not be compared to these foreign family members who originally flattered her, but now they are greedy and disgusted with their faces.
Even her mother's incompetence made her hate it very much.
She turned her head and left, and there was a disdainful cold snort from her grandmother behind her, and the fishy heat in her throat finally couldn't help but squirt out, she quickly covered it with a handkerchief, broke free from the maid Qiqiu who was going to help her, and walked out with her head held high.
Xu Meixin stared at her mother deadly, got up and chased after her daughter.
Mrs. Xu's face was extremely ugly, and she didn't ask anyone to send it.
Or Mrs. Qiong really can't look at it, this old lady is too eyeless, when Xu Meixin married into the Qin Mansion, she had such a face, and later learned that her daughter was straightened, and she ran to the door in person to greet her.
Although she is a side concubine in the future, it is difficult to ensure that Miss Huan Wu does not have any disasters, maybe there will be an accident one day, and the name of the concubine is not going to fall on Jinxiu.
Then he got up and said with a smile: "I'd better go and send it." ”
