Chapter 118: Preparing a Dowry
Cheng Xiaoran and Du Ling failed to exterminate the pirates, not only did they not save Tao Qianren, Du Ling was killed, and as soon as the news came back, Concubine Shu cried and died.
Concubine Zhen was happy enough, Cheng Xiaoran was just injured, this was the strategy of the brother and sister, that is, let Du Ling die, and Du Ling would really die.
Concubine Shu was seriously ill, and the emperor accompanied her for a few nights, and many people thought that the emperor was really ~ favoring ~ her.
Concubine Shu knows the emperor's mind very well, this is for everyone to see, she is delicate. Her brother died, and her son completely lost his support, and it was not easy to seize the prince.
So she was not lightly ill.
Those would-be robbers are not only fierce, but also well-armed, they have flying cannons that are more powerful than Sheng Jinyan's flying cannons, Du Ling is dead, Cheng Xiaoran is also frightened, and wants to be a deserter.
However, Concubine Zhen was willing to let her brother take charge of the army and lay the foundation for her son to seize the prince. Of course, Cheng Xiaoran is willing to let his nephew become the prince, and if someone else becomes the prince, his family will immediately lose power.
If her rival becomes the emperor, her family will only be destroyed.
Sheng Jinyan said to Mu Mian: "Let Cheng Xiaoran be promoted to the next level." β
"Lost the battle and then moved up to the next level? Doesn't make sense of that, does it? Mu Mian knew what Sheng Jinyan meant, Sheng Wei'an said, Cheng Xiaoran is a person who is very afraid of death.
This is also confirmed, he went to the fold to ask for guilt, to hand over the military power, and now he is acting as Du Ling's position, he was very brave before he left, how did he become so sparse?
Mu Mian felt that Du Ling's death was unusual, but there were still big doubts, if Cheng Xiaoran wanted to take Du Ling's position? Why doesn't he want to stay in Fuzhou now? Sheng Wei'an said that he was afraid of death.
If he is afraid of death, a marshal will not charge ahead, he is just commanding the soldiers, he is afraid of flying artillery? There were so many soldiers who charged, and the flying artillery couldn't reach him.
Mu Mian asked Sheng Jinyan: "Do you think Cheng Xiaoran is playing a ghost?" β
"He thinks that there is no one in the court, so he must be promoted to a commander?" Sheng Jinyan thought about it: Cheng Xiaoran really has a ghost job, he said that he wanted to come back, maybe he was covering up something: "Du Ling is the boss, he really won't die, if Cheng Xiaoran murdered, how could he not pretend to be pretending?" β
"Possibly, then let him be the manager and meet his requirements." Cheng Xiaoran said evilly, Tao Qianxun didn't meet the Japanese and there were flying cannons there, is it Cheng Xiaoran alarmist, scaring the courtiers, and scaring no one to go, he is the boss, he can ask the emperor to appoint a deputy marshal.
I can't guess exactly, according to the information introduced by Sheng Wei'an and Tao Qianxun, Mu Mian became suspicious of Cheng Xiaoran.
Tao Qianxun's henchmen have been controlled by Cheng Xiaoran, and it is not so quick to get the real news.
The emperor said that he did not find someone who could replace Cheng Xiaoran, and wanted Cheng Xiaoran to continue to be in charge of the army, because the defeat was commanded by Du Ling, and Du Ling did not listen to his advice, so the army was defeated.
No matter how powerful the Japanese are, there are no thousands of troops, Du Ling did not listen to his advice, now there is no evidence, Du Ling is dead, there is no proof of death, whatever Cheng Xiaoran says.
Mu Mian persuaded the emperor to send someone to find out the matter, did the Japanese have flying cannons?
The emperor adopted Mu Mian's Jianyì.
Cheng Xiaoran became the commander, and the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty went crazy, some people were suspicious of the flying cannons of the Japanese Emperor, some people were suspicious of Cheng Xiaoran's obstruction of Du Ling, and some people thought that Concubine Zhen was ~ favored ~ .
Concubine Zhen's camp immediately became vigorous.
With all kinds of rumors spreading, Concubine Shu's court became cold, and Concubine Zhen was overjoyed, and their plan succeeded.
Tao Guiren was uneasy, the emperor didn't come to her door once, Concubine Zhen can regain ~ favor, can't she regain ~ favor~?
Sheng Jinzhu was confused about the court situation, and Xiao Tao was also a little confused, Sheng Jinzhu fell in love with Mu Mian a while ago and wanted to divorce Mu Qian, but Sheng Wei'an did not agree and kept dragging it off.
Now Sheng Jinzhu sees that Concubine Zhen's son has hope, but the eighth prince is a few years younger than her, and she asks for it because there is little hope.
Concubine Shu and Concubine De's sons are close to her age, but none of them are favored by Concubine Zhen~.
Sheng Jinzhu doesn't know who to choose now, she sees herself as a noble daughter from a high family, and she wants to choose whoever she wants.
Whoever she chooses, everyone has to smear her with honey!
Sheng Jinyan heard that Sheng Jinzhu was undecided, so she hurriedly asked Mu Mian to recruit her to marry into the Anle Palace.
Sheng Jinyan said to Sheng Wei'an again: "Father, hurry up and let the third sister get married, drag it out like this, look at this for a while, look at that for a while, the daughter of the Hou Mansion of Quyang will be like this, and the people of the Hou Mansion of Quyang will be lost." Sheng Jinyan vowed to tie Mu Qian and Sheng Jinzhu together, and not let Sheng Jinzhu harm others again!
These two iniquity workers must become a family, let them live and die together, and fulfill their fate in their previous lives!
Sheng Wei'an listened to Sheng Jinyan's words and felt that the eldest daughter and the second daughter were not married, and the third daughter married first, which was unreasonable.
If it drags on any longer, it will make a big joke and can't afford to lose people.
In the previous life, Sheng Jinzhu killed her in Anle Wangfu, and in this life, the arranged hollyhock doesn't seem to be needed, there is Sheng Jinhua and Sheng Jinzhu marrying one person, these two are wicked people have their own wicked grinding.
In the end, it will hurt both sides.
Don't want her to bother, I didn't expect God to arrange it so skillfully, they are their own people to clean up their own people, and they are against the nest!
Sheng Wei'an is a soldier and is resolute.
Mu Mian spoke for Mu Qian, and the emperor gave Mu Qian a prince, and he was still the king of Anle.
Sheng Wei'an's two daughters are married to Mu Qian, although they are both side concubines, Concubine Rong thinks that Sheng Wei'an will also favor Mu Qian, Mu Qian will seize the prince, Sheng Wei'an must be a help.
Tao Guiren also agreed that Sheng Jinzhu would marry Mu Qian, and Tao Guiren also kept an eye on it, although Mu Qian didn't have much hope of winning the prince, she and Concubine Rong united a camp, and they had to support each other if her son or Mu Qian was powerful.
Tao Guiren saw that the emperor restored Mu Qian's prince, and thought that the emperor valued Mu Qian again, in order to leave a way back for herself, she first stabilized one, and fought for her in every possible way, that is, not to offend Mu Qian.
Xiao Tao saw that Tao Guiren could no longer be the emperor's ~ favor, Sheng Wei'an wanted to marry Sheng Jinzhu, Xiao Tao was a little flustered, so he told Tao Guiren to marry Sheng Jinzhu to Mu Mian, Mu Mian became the prince, and he took good care of the Seven Princes.
How could Tao Guiren be willing to let Mu Mian become the prince, she has the last killer feature, and Mu Mian can't succeed.
Tao Guiren secretly thought about the little Tao family, and wanted her daughter to be the queen to tear down her corner.
Tao Guiren smiled fiercely at Xiao Tao: "Sister, I think there is hope for the third prince." Tao Guiren was afraid of Xiao Tao, so he concealed his thoughts, she said that for the good of Zhu'er, marrying the third prince was the best choice.
Mu Mian is staring at Sheng Jinyan, he has done many things to eliminate Mu Mian, Mu Mian can't smell it, there is no room for relaxation between them, Sheng Jinzhu's desire to marry Mu Mian is purely wishful thinking, Mu Mian is able to get a storage position, that is, she likes Sheng Jinzhu, and she will not let Sheng Jinzhu marry Mu Mian.
Mu Mian is his real enemy, and the many chaotic actions made by Emperor Tang Yuan prove that the prince in his heart is Mu Mian, and the prince in his mind is his son, how can he let Mu Mian live in this world?
Tao Guiren told Xiao Tao that she and Concubine Rong were united, and it was right for Sheng Jinzhu to marry Mu Qian, and Xiao Tao was alive.
Concubine Rong was also happy by Tao Guiren, and promised Sheng Wei'an that she would support Mu Qian to win the heir, although Sheng Jinzhu still didn't want to marry Mu Qian, no one supported her, and she couldn't climb Mu Mian, plus Mu Qian was restored to the prince, and there was hope of establishing a prince, Sheng Jinzhu could only marry Mu Qian.
Mu Qian has already proposed marriage and decided that Sheng Jinhua will marry, Sheng Jinzhu is going to marry, of course Aunt Lin is in a hurry, and she discussed with the old lady: "Mother, Hua'er is older than Zhu'er, and my sister should marry first." β
What the old lady really likes is Sheng Jinhua's granddaughter, and now their mothers are all equal wives, and the old lady relied on the old man to veto Sheng Wei'an's decision and gave Xiao Tao the position of equal wife.
The old lady made a finalized version: "Their sisters are married together!" "Aunt Lin wants Sheng Jinhua to marry first, and at first Xiao Tao will not do it, her daughter is a first-established parent, and the score will come first.
The old lady didn't allow the two to argue, so she set a day, the elder sister entered the cave room first, and the younger sister was a day late.
Both of them were subdued by the old lady and disagreed, so just forget it and get out of the marriage!
Aunt Lin was reluctant, Xiao Tao saw that Aunt Lin was so attentive, she also felt that Mu Qian was valuable, the old lady asked Sheng Wei'an to give Sheng Jinyan a message, and asked Sheng Jinyan to add boxes to the two sisters, Sheng Jinyan has 1.7 million, how can she give a sister 100,000 yuan, and pretend to be face for the Hou Mansion.
Sheng Wei'an told Sheng Jinyan that Sheng Jinyan rolled her eyes a few times, she was enemies with them, and she had no sisterhood, and she would not give her the money to call her a child, and she didn't care about adding makeup.
The days of marriage are very tight, there is only half a month period, the money and things of the Hou Mansion have been emptied of Xiao Tao, and Da Tao handed them over to Xiao Tao according to the accounts checked, and used the deficit she compensated for to add makeup to her daughter. Aunt Lin also dug up the things and small money in the house, but Da Tao didn't care about her, and there was not much money in the house, so she had to let Xiao Tao dig out.
Aren't you both equal wives, and the matter of your daughter's marriage, as you handle, Da Tao stipulated that Xiao Tao would pay Sheng Jinhua's dowry.
Xiao Tao was reluctant, Aunt Lin was unwilling, and the two fought.
It's useless to find Big Dow, there is no money in the house, it is Xiao Tao's should come out, and Xiao Tao will expose her corruption if she doesn't come out.
Although Da Tao is honest, he will not let go of Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao thinks that Da Tao will not track down the money and things she embezzled.
Sheng Jinyan's trick didn't let her mother move, and when Sheng Jinzhu got married, she let Xiao Tao pay for it, but she really didn't expect them to marry together, so that they would make their hatred deep.
The mansion couldn't come up with any money, so they let the two of them pinch it early, and when they arrived at the Anle Palace, they were already as deep as the sea.
Sheng Jinyan feels that Sheng Jinzhu and Sheng Jinhua are chess opponents, and they will meet good talents, one is darker than the other, one is more ruthless than the other, and one is more greedy than the other.
Aunt Lin and Xiao Tao were really anxious, Xiao Tao didn't pay Sheng Jinhua's share, and Aunt Lin went to the old lady to complain.
The old lady said cruelly, if Xiao Tao didn't give Sheng Jinhua's share, the old lady would get rid of Xiao Tao's flat wife and reduce her to a concubine.
Xiao Tao had no choice but to give Sheng Jinzhu half as much, although Aunt Lin was not happy, but there was no way, Tao Guiren sent someone to threaten Aunt Lin once: "If you have to make an inch, you will have a good look!" β
Aunt Lin was still afraid of Tao Guiren, so she didn't squeak when she got half of it.
Seeing that Sheng Jinyan didn't come back and didn't pay for it, the old lady took revenge on Da Tao and ordered her to divide her dowry among Sheng Jinzhu and Sheng Jinhua, the daughter of the Marquis of Quyang can't be too shabby to marry Anle Wangfu, your daughter has more than one million, even your son's is enough, and your dowry doesn't have to be kept.
Da Tao is silent, you are willing to be embarrassed by the Hou Mansion, why don't you know how to lose face when you slander the concubine of the Hou Mansion?
How shameless it is to use the introduction of shame to snatch her dowry.
Da Tao ignored her, she didn't dare to go down to the public and say, she was a mother-in-law, it was not good to deal with her, just when she didn't say it, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Da Tao is also bold in the robbers' cave, and he is not as afraid of the old lady as before, after all, the old lady's face is not unfilial to take this vernacular in front of the public.
She just threatened, and didn't dare to really go around and say that the old lady couldn't achieve her wish, and she felt aggrieved.
Da Tao knew what she was thinking when he looked at her face, she was aggrieved by herself, no one was unfilial to her, she was wicked, so let her be aggrieved.
Da Tao pretended not to see, she didn't squeak what she said, the old lady was so angry that her face turned blue, and she instructed Da Tao: "Give me the title deed of your dowry, the deed of the shop, and the key to the treasury." β
Da Dow pretended not to hear, and walked out, and the old lady shouted: "Da Dow! I spoke to you, didn't you hear? β
Da Tao held back his anger and smiled helplessly, this old lady still relies on the old and sells the old, whose mother-in-law robs her daughter-in-law's dowry? Unless those mothers-in-law who are three ~ indiscriminate, petty, and stingy and greedy can do it!
Dow's face was full of questions: "Mother, what are you talking about?" β
The old lady said angrily: "Did you make the robbers deaf?" She commanded again.
Da Tao smiled: "Mother-in-law, you don't know yet, all my dowry is given to Yan'er for safekeeping, I have nothing in my hands, I am a cowardly and cowardly, I am worried that I will be bluffed, I can't keep these things, and I give Yan'er to its owner." β
Da Dow said calmly and solemnly, and the old lady almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Da Tao gave a salute and retired again, Xiao Tao and Aunt Lin were dumbfounded, when did Da Tao ever be so tough, what was she relying on?
The old lady remembered the kind of poison in it, and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, Da Tao is her nemesis, with this person, don't think about it in her life, her children have become her wings, and if she wants to connive at Xiao Tao's killing her, it is even more difficult, that Mu Mian is the eldest son of the emperor, scheming, and it is not easy to deal with. If Hua'er can meet such a situation, she will not worry about the immortality of Da Tao's mother and daughter.
I just can't swallow this breath!
The old lady hates Da Tao even more, but she can't help it, she can't give out the 100,000 taels in her hand, and it doesn't work to force Da Tao, and she can't grab it. (To be continued.) )
