Chapter 194: What Wind Is Blowing (1st Update)
Duchess Zheng Guo was very surprised, Qi Qingyu actually dared to say in front of her that she was rich and rivaled the country? Is it really that rich?
But no matter how she calculated, she couldn't calculate how much silver she could make by selling a jewel and hairpin, at most five million taels.
Besides, Qi Qingyu donated three million taels to disaster relief a few years ago, and at that time, the world was in an uproar, and he had to go to Yuzhang to take a look at this unknown girl's family.
However, Jiang Mo, the governor of Jiujiang Mansion, protected him like a calf, and brought out Li Yuxuan to deter the suspicious people, and even Li Houye's people retreated at the queen's signal.
Those who can donate 3 million taels must have at least 6 million taels to do this.
Maybe the assets of the Qi family have exceeded 10 million?!
Duchess Zheng Guo thought about this, her heart was extremely excited, and her face was immediately replaced with an amiable smile, and she said approachably: "The sixth girl's words are not right, the female is not staying, and the marriage is based on the words of the matchmaker on the orders of the parents, where can you be willful." However, with Mrs. Ben in charge of you, your family will only care about wealth and glory in the future. β
Qi Qingyu smiled and looked at Duchess Zheng Guo respectfully, but wanted to see if she could spit out an ivory from her mouth.
"That's it, and later Mrs. Ben will set a good date with Najib." Duchess Zheng Guo said as she gracefully walked down the four steps and came to Qi Qingyu, her smile was not only flattering, but also deterrent: "Look, what a wonderful person, not to mention that you have climbed the world, it is more than enough to be a noble concubine." β
"Huh...... Third sister, the scenery of this vestibule is good. Suddenly, a string of arrogant laughter rang out, followed by an exclamation: "Yo, what, the white light in front of me is so dazzling!" β
Hearing this, Duchess Zheng Guo was stunned, and her spirit disappeared, her face was elongated, and she motioned to Mama Yuan to use her strength to put the bracelet into Qi Qingyu's wrist.
Mama Yuan couldn't care about her own grievances, and immediately obeyed. The left hand quickly grabbed Qi Qingyu, but suddenly frozeβan extremely sharp pig-killing knife lay in the middle.
If it weren't for Mama Yuan's quick retraction, I'm afraid her wrist would have been cut off.
Xia Rong, who was a head taller than Mama Yuan, stood there with a straight face, not snorting. There was an aura of murder all over his body. It seems to be saying, if you dare to come nonsense, you are not negotiable!
Mama Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
Not only Mama Yuan, but even Duchess Zheng Guo shrewdly took two steps back.
"This is Duchess Zheng Guo, Hugh is rude. Stand down immediately. Although Qi Qingyu reprimanded, she glanced at Xia Rong gratefully. Standing with his hands behind his shoulders later, it was just a change of posture, which had already eliminated the possibility of Mama Yuan wanting to come hard.
As the swaggering jingle outside got closer and closer, almost approaching the gate, Duchess Zheng Guo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, she obviously knew that Li Yuxuan stayed in Taoyao all day long and did not return.
Originally, she didn't look down on the Qi family, no matter what six girls and four girls she was, she was as beautiful as a flower or ugly as no salt, but her son liked the Qi family and had covetous silver. That's what she thinks.
But if you want to grab people from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Duchess Zheng Guo still has to think twice, after all, the backer of the Zhenbei General's Mansion is the eldest princess Hexi, who is the most honorable person today except for the emperor, the queen mother and the prince of the East Palace.
And Li Yuxuan has made brilliant achievements for Da Chu, and her reputation is famous, and this level of interest does not allow her to act arbitrarily.
Hmph, if she can't get it, others don't want to get it easily!
"That's all for today." Duchess Zheng Guo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, her gloomy appearance returned to clarity, and she was a noble lady in her gestures.
Although the temperament is slightly too clichΓ© and snobbish.
Duchess Zheng motioned for the servants to follow. Qi Qingyu bowed his knees.
"Oh, who is Mrs. Ben, it turns out that the two aunts of the General's Mansion are here. What kind of wind is blowing today? Walking to the door, Duchess Zheng Guo smiled and looked at the two aunts of the General's Mansion who were spreading flowers and branches, piling up gold and jade.
It's vulgar. Afraid that others won't know that he is a powerful general?
Looking up and down a few times, Duchess Zheng Guo showed disdain.
"Hey, who am I ......?"
"Concubine!" The fifth aunt wearing a rose-red moon-season jacquard and a gold-trimmed cardigan skirt could speak, but was interrupted by the third aunt who was wearing a gold lotus pattern on the orange ground on her side.
The fifth aunt was slightly stunned, and then said, "Hey, who is the concubine." It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng. She smiled greatly, but she didn't make a big salute, and after a little blessing, she didn't wait for Duchess Zheng Guo to greet her, and then she flattened down.
The third aunt couldn't move, but she nodded, and her posture was very arrogant.
Duchess Zheng Guo's face was not very good-looking, and she still smiled reluctantly: "The two sisters don't need to be polite. β
"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but I dare to blow the elegant and noble Mrs. Zheng here. Hey, but it's a humble house, a broken humble house. The fifth aunt changed her words and frowned: "Is it a bad omen?" β
The surface is warm, but in fact, the sharp eyebrows and eyes are stabbed straight inside, the little girl with a peach solid color satin plain edge.
and her eyes are ruined and sore, but she is bright and shining.
Duchess Zheng frowned, glared at the fifth aunt with extreme displeasure, her slightly angry eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and said with a smile: "It's not the northeast wind, it's not the southwest wind, it's the spring breeze." β
She specially dragged out the end of the word "spring", and her language was ambiguous.
"Spring breeze people, not bad." When the fifth aunt saw the move, her smile did not decrease, "Hey, that little girl inside, the loss here will be reported to our general's mansion, I will give you all covered." β
When Duchess Zheng Guo heard this, her face changed, everything on this ground is a treasure, if you really want to say that the price is priceless, it is priceless, but usually there is a price, according to the identity of the object she dropped, it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands of taels.
Sure enough, those who led the troops to fight were robbers, and their pockets were bulging, and they were not afraid of losers!
Duchess Zheng Guo is both envious and jealous, why didn't her family have a leader in the war? finally came up with a military advisor who could go to the battlefield, and the military advisor was a fart, not to mention that she didn't get back a penny of silver, and it cost her a full 100,000 taels to go to the army!
When Qi Qingyu heard this, he immediately pretended to be surprised, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. And in my heart, I didn't like the "bad omen" that the fifth aunt said.
Duchess Zheng Guo was able to continue to play, "The General's Mansion is really rich and powerful, I am afraid that some people rely on convenience to get great benefits but do not confiscate it, and fall into their own pockets." β
The third aunt, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Our eldest princess's dowry will not be spent in ten lifetimes in the General's Mansion, and it will not cost Mrs. Zheng the heart of the General's Mansion." β
The fifth aunt hurriedly said: "But if Mrs. Zheng wants to hurt her mind for some people's unknown silver, the concubine will not dare to bump into it." β
Duchess Zheng Guo couldn't help but have a green face with anger, and almost couldn't help but scold people, her face was slightly distorted because of her suppressed anger, and she said suddenly: "The two aunts are right, although Mrs. Ben is not as generous as the two, but she is accompanied by her husband and has a filial son under her knees. These can't be bought even by gold and silver. β
After speaking, the smile of the winner in life is hooked. (To be continued.) )
