Chapter 169: Greed (1st Update)
Qi Qingyu's thoughts were interrupted, and he was a little displeased, "Madame, everything is supplied by the imperial court, what are you doing looking at the copper smell?" ”
This attitude goes from good to bad, but it is faster than turning a book.
Mrs. Jiang sneered: "Copper smell, that's the statement of a pretentious person, where can you get away from silver money for food, clothing, housing and transportation?" ”
"Madame is right, this time the people don't know who they provoked? Ask the lady to tell me. "Chen Zhi is not here, Qi Qingyu himself is carrying a silver ticket in his purse. A wave of a small hand is 10,000 taels.
Mrs. Jiang took it with satisfaction and handed it to the grandmother beside her, but after a while, she asked the person next to her: "Music has five tones, but music lacks business." Have you ever seen it? ”
Only the song lacks business, and the song has no business.
Qi Qingyu just speculated that Qu Wushang and Mrs. Jiang might have some relationship, but he didn't have the idea of getting to the bottom of it. Now when she asked, she also answered truthfully: "Mrs. Hui, the folk girl has seen it." ”
Mrs. Jiang suddenly smiled tentatively and asked, "How is the old man?" "His eyes became clear and peaceful, as clean and lofty as the autumn sky.
"Okay." Qi Qingyu remembered Qu Wushang's words, and hesitated for a moment before answering: "He has an amputation below the knee." ”
"It's been a long time coming, it was the punishment of the first emperor for him." Mrs. Jiang blurted out, her brows immediately furrowed, as if she had accidentally revealed a big secret, and she smiled.
Qi Qingyu had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, "Huh? What the lady said, the maiden took a nap and didn't hear it. ”
Mrs. Jiang laughed: "It's nothing. Later, he said with some pity: "Yuan Laigui, carrying his father, sent a box of gold bars to the Zhengguo Mansion, and put down the cruel words, saying that it was the last box." Because the business has been robbed of all your tricks, they are going to go out of business. ”
Why is it a pity, Qi Qingyu was dazed by the emotions revealed by Mrs. Jiang. Her temperament gradually became suspicious and sensitive, and she tried her best to distinguish the emotions in the eyes of the dignitaries and nobles, even if she didn't let go of the slightest.
Besides, she didn't have the heart to let the Yuan family go out of business, so Yuan Laigui didn't stop for a moment.
"His leg was broken a few days ago, did you ask someone to smash it?" Mrs. Jiang saw Qi Qingyu thoughtfully. Ask again.
"Yes." Qi Qingyu let out a big smile.
Mrs. Jiang was a little overwhelmed by her straightforwardness, "Good job." "Young people are just very motivated.
"The people guessed that the people from the Zhengguo Mansion came to Yuzhang, and the first thing they wanted to visit was to your mansion?" Qi Qingyu suddenly realized that it had nothing to do with Mrs. Jiang. Why bother with these troubled waters. Even if she asks Mrs. Jiang in the future, she will ask for it, where do you want Mrs. Jiang to condescend to this courtyard.
Mrs. Jiang finally showed a satisfied smile, but remained silent.
Qi Qingyu knew that the old fox wanted her to speak first, so that she could catch her loopholes from the words and then grasp it. But is she so easy to take advantage of? "Madam, our family is conscientious, does business in a proper manner, and never does anything that hurts nature and reason. The Yuan family has repeatedly slandered our Qi family, even if the emperor Lao Tzu is here, the people's daughter is also justified. ”
In fact, Qi Qingyu wished that Duchess Zheng Guo would send someone to make trouble, the more flaws she had, the easier it would be for Zheng Changge to win the heir.
She knew that Zheng Changge's aunt was not in the Zheng Mansion at all, and was imprisoned in a Zhuangzi by the Duchess of Zheng Guo.
She heard at that time that Zheng Guogong was not a ruthless person, and he would always visit Aunt Zheng Changge several times a year.
It is the concern and responsibility in Zheng Guogong's heart. Zheng Changge has a chance to rise.
These words angered Mrs. Jiang, and she saw her face change slightly.
Mrs. Jiang Sifu: I really want to leave it alone, but the new prefect who will take office in the near future is ...... Let's help you grow safely.
"The sixth girl's words are inappropriate, the so-called official words are two mouths." Mrs. Jiang seemed to be smiling, and took a sip of fragrant tea.
Not angry, obviously with the intention of protecting himself. At this time, Mrs. Jiang was touched by Qi Qingyu. Of course, Qi Qingyu was very knowledgeable, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Madame has taught you a lesson." The folk girls almost forgot that one of the things they do best is reverse black and white. According to Madame, what should the women of the people do to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters? ”
Mrs. Jiang showed a mysterious smile, and her eyes looked at Qi Qingyu fiercely, which was not only snobbish but also greedy. She held up two fingers.
Twenty thousand? Qi Qingyu thought to herself. 20,000 is a small meaning, she is not surprised at all.
Mrs. Jiang shook her head, indicating that Qi Qingyu had guessed wrong.
Qi Qingyu's face changed slightly, it couldn't be two thousand taels, not two thousand taels, or two hundred thousand taels!
Robbery?
Qi Qingyu stood up. Pacing around the hall in a huff.
Mrs. Jiang was dazzled, and her expression was a little uncertain. She originally tried, who knows if the Qi family can take out so much, after all, this amount is huge, and it is not just who takes it.
"Mrs. Jiang, our Qi family will take out so much silver, but how many years can we buy peace? If Ming'er Guifu is transferred away, and another one comes, then the prefect is transferred away, and another one comes. But after tearing down our Qi family, there is not so much filial piety? Qi Qingyu asked angrily.
In fact, what she was afraid of was that Mrs. Jiang took the silver to fight against King Huai, and she couldn't pull Queen Huai's legs.
Hearing this in Mrs. Jiang's ears, she didn't doubt it, but smiled and said, "Mrs. Ben assures you that before you and Lu, our Jiang family can't do without Yuzhang. ”
Mrs. Jiang's snobbish eyes suddenly cleared again, exuding a conceit about her future.
Qi Qingyu frowned, carefully thinking about the memories of the Jiang family in the previous life.
When she left Yuzhang, the Governor's Mansion was still surnamed Jiang, during which Concubine Min gave birth to a princess, and later died. Or the Jiang family, the Chu family, and the Min concubines were too low-key, and Qi Qingyu couldn't find a word about their clan anymore.
It doesn't match the greedy and flamboyant woman in front of her.
Well, in fact, at this time in her last life, she didn't even know the name of the Admiral's Mansion.
Qi Qingyu laughed: "There are two official words." ”
Dodger. Mrs. Jiang was amused, her slightly closed eyes flashed an unpredictable light, and she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Qi Qingyu sincerely: "Okay, if Mrs. Ben breaks her promise, you can complain to the Huang family." ”
If Qi Qingyu was really six or sixteen years old, she would definitely be surrounded by Mrs. Jiang, but unfortunately, "What Huang family?" A look of confusion on his face.
Mrs. Jiang frowned and scolded: "You little ghost, what about the wolf? On that day, Huang He personally came to the door to deal with Qi Qingyu's suspicion that Su Manzhu was flowing from the Jiang family, and Mrs. Jiang already knew who Qi Qingyu's backer was.
Qi Qingyu was even more confused, and after thinking about it, he smiled coquettishly: "There are no wolves here, don't worry, madam." ”
Mrs. Jiang didn't plan to continue to use words to test or use power to suppress Qi Qingyu, this was obviously not her purpose. She suddenly stared at Qi Qingyu deeply, as if she was struggling with whether to say it or not.
The surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, and even the sound of sprinkling water and sweeping the floor in the second courtyard could be heard clearly.
Plum began to get restless and kept kicking the ground.
Qi Qingyu glared at her, quiet!
Li Zi pouted and stood upright.
After a long time, Mrs. Jiang, who looked solemn, finally spoke, "Mrs. Ben has heard a thing or two of the interesting things between you and General Li Shao. ”
Why do you want to get involved with Li Yuxuan? Qi Qingyu's heart jumped, and she subconsciously moved closer to Li Zi.
Li Zi immediately bent down to pick her up and sat on his lap.
Mrs. Jiang motioned for Li Zi to sit beside her, and then continued: "Major General Li has been in trouble recently, and the Admiral has received a secret order to help him......"
"What's the trouble?" Qi Qingyu was very surprised, and even interrupted Mrs. Jiang regardless of the etiquette. (To be continued.) )
