Chapter Ninety-Five: Wind and Fire
But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if Xie Jing's foreign family, that is, Queen Zhen's maiden family, is now far away from the south of the Yangtze River, but I think that this was the first clan known as the head of the top gate valves, and the wealth and resources in their hands are so much that people can't even imagine it.
Therefore, even if Empress Zhen has been immortal for many years now, and Xie Jing's family has long since withdrawn from the power center of the imperial capital, as long as you think about the inheritance that Empress Zhen may leave to Xie Jing, people can know that although Xie Jing may be the weakest of the three oldest princes now. But if you want to talk about wealth, it is estimated that the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen together can only win against Xie Jing.
But this is just an outsider's own speculation, in fact, the inheritance and wealth left by Queen Zhen to Xie Jing, it is estimated that ten Xie Yan and Xie Wen combined, are not worthy of Xie Jing's shoes.
Therefore, Xie Jing has always let them collect the dowry of his concubines, so they were not so surprised when Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun saw Bo Wei Houyun and Xu Youshan was accepting her own dowry.
"With His Royal Highness's net worth, he naturally won't covet the princess's dowry, but just now when we walked out with Leng Xinyun, I saw a lot of movement in the backyard." Wang Nishang said in a deep voice.
"Concubine Side, do you mean that not only the ones we saw in the front yard, but even the princess's dowry in the backyard?" Qianxue exclaimed: "No, just the ones we saw in the front yard are amazing enough." If there is still one in the backyard...... "Asa Yuki didn't say any more.
"I don't know, after all, I don't know what kind of soup our little princess poured into His Royal Highness, and there is no one in the palace in the clouds. It is all the companion room brought by the princess from the Xu family, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to find out anything in the future. Wang Nishang frowned slightly and said.
"Side concubine, in fact, the slave maid thinks that you think too much, our little princess, when I see it today, she is just a child. There is only her companion room in the clouds after Bowei, so it is estimated that the Xu family does not know what to negotiate with His Royal Highness. As for the princess's dowry, if it is more than those in the front yard, it will be regarded as His Royal Highness's rich net worth. I guess she won't be left to collect it herself, so all the movements you hear are just large pieces of furniture being placed by the servants. Asa Xue said.
"You're right to say that."
Wang Nishang really didn't think highly of Xu Youshan, so after Qianxue said so. She smiled and let go of the matter. At this time, another person walked on the opposite avenue from Wang Nishang. The idea is surprisingly similar to Wang Nishang, after seeing Xu Youshan, I don't think that this milky little girl will have any threat to her position in this palace, so at this time, she has already left Xu Youshan behind, and of course this person can only be Leng Xinyun.
In the palace of the king of Chu, among Xie Jing's women, they can almost be regarded as the three people on the top of the rank, at least in name Xie Jing's women. The first meeting had just taken place, and it could almost be described as extremely friendly and kind. And after the three met, they also initially established a tacit understanding with each other, that is, Xu Youshan will never be a threat to themselves; And Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun have no direct contradiction for Xu Youshan.
In this case, it stands to reason that there should not be any strong winds and waves in this palace, anyway, Xu Youshan herself thinks so now, and there is another person who also thinks that there should be nothing bad in the backyard of this palace, and there is no need for him to be distracted here, just focus on "big" things.
Chu Wangfu, empty mountain residence.
"Lord Wang, there is news from Liangzhou, everything is acting according to your plan, and there is no mistake, that thing should have entered Shangshutai now." Wen Ge bowed down and reported to Xie Jingyu, who was sitting behind the water stone book case of the ivory carving and entering the treasure map.
"Should?" But after Xie Jing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wenge.
"My subordinates will go and verify." Hearing the song, he lowered his head and said quickly.
"Well, go ahead." Xie Jing lowered his head and continued to write something on the desk, while Wen Ge bowed down and retreated after bowing to Xie Jing, and the room was quiet for a while. It's just that Wen Ge had just left for a while, and there was a knock on the door again, and Xie Jing called without raising his head: "Come in." ”
Before Xie Jing's words fell, the door was gently pushed open, and the person who came was Agarwood, who held a cup of tea in his hand, quietly walked to Xie Jing's side, replaced the cold tea on the side, and then bowed to Xie Jing without making a sound, and left with the cup of herbal tea. But not long after, Agarwood went and returned, and stood beside Xie Jing to study ink for him.
"Your Highness, I just saw Wenge go out." Agarwood spoke first.
"Well, there's a letter from Liangzhou." Xie Jing said absent-mindedly.
"Oh, so that the big sum of money has not been spent in vain?" But just after Xie Jing finished speaking, Agarwood Yanmo's movements did not stop, but the words changed suddenly, and there was a trace of anger in his voice, and he rushed straight towards Xie Jing.
And Xie Jing's hand that has been writing, but after Agarwood's words, he paused before continuing, but Xie Jing still coughed and said a little unnaturally: "Agarwood, it's not that I said you, you are good at everything, it's just that the character of this unstoppable iron rooster has to be changed, you said that this money is earned and spent, and besides, this is also used in a very necessary place, which is inevitable." ”
In fact, it's good that Xie Jing didn't speak, but this statement directly mobilized all the agarwood's fire, and fiercely turned at Xie Jing: "Am I an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair?" Then why don't you want to think about who caused this, you just have to be an uncle, and you will sprinkle gold all over the sky with your mouth, do you know how many people have to be busy for your casual words? You're embarrassed to say I'm an iron that doesn't pull out a hair! ”
The agarwood fire sprayed fiercely at Xie Jing, and the terrifying volume caused Xie Jing to stop writing. Temporarily blocked her ears, but Agarwood was angry, but she studied the movement of ink. But it never stopped.
And the people in the empty mountain house didn't seem to be surprised at all by this kind of scream that would run out from time to time, and they still did their own work at hand. It seems that this phenomenon often happens here, or between Xie Jing and Agarwood!
……
……
On the first day of Xu Youshan's wedding, she spent a morning, noon, and afternoon in Miyagi and Bowei Houyun, and she spent it very full. was so full that everyone in the cloud waited for Bowei, and all of Xu Youshan's dowry was stuffed into the empty big house in the cloud of Bowei, and the people in the cloud of Bowei, including Xu Youshan. I didn't want to say a word for a long time.
But I didn't want to say anything, but I still had to eat, so at this time, Chu Dai came to ask Xu Youshan, "Princess." What about our dinner? ”
Xu Youshan was stunned. Ask: "What to do?" ”
Chu Dai replied: "Princess, there is a big kitchen in the palace, but this Bowei Houyun also has a small kitchen, do you want to let Yuedai go to Zhang Luo in a while, or send someone to the big kitchen to inform the kitchen ladies to fry two dishes for you." ”
When Yue Dai arrived at Zheng Yan Pavilion, she was still very young, and at that time, Xu Youshan's whole body was still covered with thorns, so she was dealing with Yue Dai. The way she deals with it is – cold treatment.
But as Yuedai's time with Xu Youshan increased, it also changed with Xu Youshan and Xu Yourong. Xu Youshan began to accept Yuedai, a girl who was one year younger than herself, and it was at that time that Xu Youshan discovered another great talent of Yuedai, that is, cooking. Yue Dai's talent in cooking made the chef in charge of the Xu Mansion Kitchen also praise Yue Dai. And if it weren't for the fact that Yue Dai was Xu Youshan's eldest girl, it is estimated that Yue Dai would have been given to be a disciple by the chef in charge of the big kitchen.
But because of this, since recent years, Xu Youshan's food has almost been covered by Yue Dai, and Xu Youshan's mouth has long been supported by Yue Dai's good cooking skills.
"Forget it, everyone is tired today, don't let Yuedai go to the kitchen anymore, you just send someone to the big kitchen and let someone bring some food." Xu Youshan looked at a large number of people resting in the courtyard, and after thinking about it, she still ordered Chu Dai to send someone to the big kitchen.
"Yes, Princess." And Chu Dai immediately acted according to Xu Youshan's instructions.
It's just that the person sent to the big kitchen has been walking for nearly three minutes, and when they haven't come back yet, Xu Youshan called Chu Dai in front of him again and said, "Chu Dai, you will take the five mothers-in-law to the big kitchen now." "The mothers-in-law that Xu Youshan asked Chu Dai to bring are naturally the mothers-in-law used by the guards.
And Xu Youshan's words were a little clueless, but Chu Dai understood and responded: "Yes, princess." Then Chu Dai took the five mothers-in-law and walked towards the big kitchen in a hurry.
But this time, contrary to the people sent to the big kitchen by Chu Dai before, they came back very quickly, but when Chu Dai came back with the little girl with swollen cheeks, not only Chu Dai and the five mothers-in-law who went with them had a look of indignation on their faces, but even Xu Youshan no longer had a good face and asked Chu Dai at this time, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the princess, the slave maid took the five mothers to the big kitchen on your order, but before we got closer, we heard some scolding from a distance, and when we got closer later, we found that Rose was surrounded by many maids and women in the middle of the push, and also said some ugly words to insult people, the slaves and maids saw that naturally they rushed forward, and those who had insulted Rose first saw us, and actually wanted to do something to us without saying a word. But even my mother beat the people who raised their hands first with a backhand, and we saved Rose,...... If you hadn't had the foresight to let the slave and maid bring the mother and the five of them together, it is estimated that even the slave and maid would not be able to come back now. ”
Chu Dai said everything that had just happened to Xu Youshan with an angry face, and after Xu Youshan heard this, her face turned even worse and turned to the little girl, that is, Rose, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Xu Youshan is well-known for her good temper in the Xu family, and her gentle and soft voice seems to be forever, which also makes people feel that this master should be the best to serve, so even the little girl Rose, when her father and mother were pointed out by Pei's as Xu Youshan's companion at the beginning, their family felt that this might be a good opportunity to soar, and the second lady was so easy to serve, this should be a beautiful difference.
But what they didn't expect was that on the first day they had just married the second lady to this palace, not only was Rose herself beaten by others for the first time, but also saw the second miss who seemed to never be angry, and at this time she actually showed such a terrifying look, which made Rose, who was already frightened, tremble more and more.
But despite this, Rose replied a little inarticulately, "Return... Back to the princess's words, the slave maid was sent to the big kitchen by Sister Chu Dai before, and informed the cooks to fry a few meals and send them to Bowei Houyun, but after the slave maid arrived at the big kitchen, before she finished speaking, she was knocked to the ground by the person from behind, and then the person said that I was not long-sighted and blocked her way. So the slave and maid opened their mouths and said, 'Aren't you beating a rake', the man actually ran over without saying a word and slapped the slave and maid, and the slave and maid roared in both ears, and when the slave and maid came back to their senses after a while, the person had already been blocked in the middle by a group of people, if it wasn't for Sister Chu Dai and Lian Mother, they came in time, the slave and maid didn't know what would happen. ”
The more Rose's words came to the back, the more she cried, and this grievance greatly dispelled her fear of Xu Youshan, so she just lowered her head and wiped her tears. But Rose is only grieved, but others are not.
"Miss, this can't be done like this." Chu Dai was furious, and for a while she forgot that Xu Youshan at this time could no longer be called Miss.
"Chu Dai, shut up." But just when the people in the courtyard had already gathered around, after listening to Rose's words, almost all of them were angry, a relatively calm voice sounded, and everyone followed the reputation and found that it was Wu Lin's family.
And Wu Lin didn't pay attention to the others, but said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, the old slave wants to ask Rose a question. ”
Xu Youshan said quietly: "Ask." ”
Wu Lin turned to Rose and asked, "Did you tell those people that you were the princess's maid?" (To be continued......)
