The three alleys are located in the northwest corner of Yanjing City, although the place is not very large, but the only two county kings in the court, the kings of Yingchuan and Linchuan, are built here.

Because of these days, the king of Yingchuan was sick in bed again, so there were many nobles in the court to visit, although there was no traffic in front of the door, but one morning, there were five or six guests who came to the door.

And the opposite Linchuan Palace, in front of the door can be much more deserted, only two carriages parked outside the gate, there are the boring idlers on the street to see these two carriages from the hour to the Linchuan Palace, but until noon did not enter the palace, still waiting outside, they are a little strange, asked each other.

The well-informed man said, "Don't you see the name plate hanging on the carriage?" It's like the carriage of Anyuanbo's mansion, I heard that the cousin of Anyuanbo's mansion married the king of Linchuan and became a concubine, this is to visit relatives, right? ”

The other pouted and said, "Relatives? Have you ever seen a relative who arrived at the door of their in-house but was locked out for half a day and not allowed to enter? When these two carriages first arrived, I saw someone in the car go to the porter to deliver the post, and after a while, the porter came out of it and waved his hand to them, said something, and then went in to pass the word for them, and when they came out again, the look on their faces was not very good-looking, and after a fierce face, they slammed the door and slammed the door, and then the people of Rennabofu ignored how much they shouted and knocked on the door. ”

The person who listened was strange, "These two families just got married, so they have no face for their in-laws?" This Linchuan Mansion is really different! ”

Someone came over and said: "I heard that yesterday, it was supposed to be the new princess who went to Anyuan Bofu to return to the three dynasties, but the main master didn't go, I heard that it was Concubine Linchuan who went to Anyuan Bofu for her daughter-in-law, which is okay, what is worse is that she brought five boxes of princess's dowry to Bofu." ”

"It can't be, right? This dowry has always been carried from her mother's house to her mother-in-law's house, and the dowry has been carried back to her mother's house. ”

Wu Lao Er immediately straightened his neck and shouted: "How could I be wrong, the five boxes that were brought out of the palace yesterday are exactly the same as the one hundred and twenty-eight dowry boxes that came in a few days ago, they are all made of boxwood, carved with the patterns of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, and tied with red silk." On the day the dowry was given by Bofu, I stood on this street, and I could see it clearly, and I could not be wrong. ”

One person was puzzled: "This new princess can't be divorced, so she brought back a few boxes of dowry?" ”

"What nonsense, people divorce their wives after only a few days of marriage, and they are also the princesses of the county king, how can they divorce so lightly? I have a relative who works in the palace of Linchuan, and I heard that there was some mistake in the dowry of the princess of Linchuan, and a lot of money was missing. Two days ago, her mother-in-law led a bunch of mothers-in-law to check it out, and yesterday I was afraid that she carried those boxes of dowries to Uncle Anyuan's mansion to theorize. ”

When the idlers heard this, they suddenly became energetic, and asked in a gossipy manner, "Is this true?" ”

"How much dowry is missing from Princess Linchuan?"

"But what does the theory come up with?"

The man who spoke before spread his hands, "How do I know this, I only heard that the prince who couldn't be provoked last night," he pointed to the gate of the Linchuan Palace, "I ran to the princess's room and got angry, broke a lot of things, and made a lot of noise, I don't know if there was a dispute over the princess's marriage?" ”

These people only cared about their own mouths and spoke happily, and they didn't notice that a maid in a blue jacket and blue skirt passed by them, and they deliberately slowed down their steps, and slowly walked to the two carriages parked in front of the Linchuan Palace, and disappeared again.

Su Yun got into the carriage, took out the teapot and teacup in the basket and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Luo and said, "Old lady, you first drink tea to moisten your throat, and then eat some snacks, it's almost noon, so let's make a cushion first!" ”

It turned out that Mrs. Tai came out in a hurry this morning, and now the people in the house are a little lazy, and there is nothing in the carriage such as tea and snacks. She didn't care about it, thinking that it was not far from An Yuanbo's Mansion to Linchuan Palace, but who would have thought that people wouldn't even let her in the door, so they waited outside the door for several hours.

The second lady who came with the old lady saw that it was almost noon, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would hurt her stomach if she was hungry, after all, Mrs. Tai had just fainted once yesterday, and today it can be said that she came here with her illness and her body. So I asked Su Yun to buy some tea and snacks and come back. Seeing that her mother-in-law had finished drinking a cup of tea, she hurriedly handed over the open snack in her hand.

"Mother, Miss Suyun is worthy of serving you for many years, and she bought your favorite hibiscus gold silk roll, please try it."

Mrs. Tai was full of anxiety at this time, how could she still be in the mood to eat, she waved her hand, lifted the corner of the car window, and saw that the door of the Linchuan Mansion was still tightly closed, and there was not even a single person in the concierge, so she couldn't help but sigh heavily and said: "Are we really unable to enter this Linchuan Mansion today?" "If she can't get in and can't see Wei Yatou, how will she be able to take out so much silver to compensate the golden concubine the day after tomorrow?

Su Yun naturally knew what the old lady was thinking, and after thinking about it, she said all the words of the idlers she had just heard.

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she was shocked and said, "What? The king of Linchuan actually had a quarrel with Cai Wei for this, this, I still think that if I can see her, let her ask the prince for a favor, and give us some more time, but if even she loses her favor in front of the prince, then ......"

The second wife didn't approve of the old lady still thinking of interceding with Zhou Caiwei at this time, if the dowry was not discovered by the Linchuan Royal Mansion before, she came to Caiwei and cried and begged, begging her not to keep this secret, don't tell her husband about the embezzlement of her dowry by Bofu, although it is a bit brazen, but it is also a feasible way.

But this time, you are greedy for so much dowry and silver, and you have already let Concubine Jin know, so what's the use of coming to ask Caiwei again? was so tired that there was a gap between Cai Wei and King Linchuan, and the old lady didn't say that she was worried about Cai Wei, but she was worried that no one could help her intercede with King Linchuan.

I don't know how Cai Wei's child has been living in this Linchuan Wangfu these days, the Linchuan King is violent by nature, and he broke a lot of things in her room yesterday, but don't beat her with your hands.

Thinking of this, the second wife couldn't help but persuade: "Old lady, I think that the mother and son of the golden concubine are determined not to see us, just open the door and let us in, I'm afraid it's useless for us to intercede with them." As for Cai Wei, she is only afraid that she will not be able to protect herself in Nafu now, what can she say for us? ”

"Old lady, we've been waiting here for a long time, instead of spending time here, let's go back to the house first and then think about what we can do to deal with this difficulty? If we wait here any longer, my daughter-in-law is worried about your body......"

"If you think about it, what else can you do? I originally thought that as long as the Linchuan Mansion could loosen its mouth, don't push us too hard, I didn't plan to embezzle Cai Wei's dowry, the reason why I took some worthless things to shoddy, I was really forced to have no choice, so I had to make this decision, I wanted to deal with the past first, and then go back and make up for her. In my heart, I really didn't think that I was going to embezzle the dowry of one of her orphan girls, and I would return all the dowries owed to Caiwei, but it would take some time. ”

"This Linchuan palace is not in a hurry to wait for the money, what do you want to urge so urgently, you have to hand over 50,000 taels of silver to them within three days, where can we go to make up this silver? They are so unforgiving, they don't even give us the slightest room to turn around, this is forcing me to use the old man's method. ”

The second wife was surprised: "Mother, should you really use the idea that the uncle came up with?" If we really do that, then this relationship with Cai Wei will be completely broken, and from then on, we will never get along with each other, and we will never be able to be relatives again? ”
