Chapter 167: Reporting
Cai Yan's death did not cause any waves in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and after Mu Changyuan heard about it, he only coldly instructed the housekeeper to properly handle the aftermath, and did not even step into the door of Cardamom Xuan.
Even after the Huangfu clan heard about it, he didn't even frown.
She has always been disdainful of this kind of unknown woman, but it is just because of the mother-son relationship with Mu Changyuan that she can't say anything.
Mama Chu lifted the curtain and walked in, and saw that Huangfu was holding scissors to prune flower branches in an orderly manner, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take the flower scissors in her hand and said, "Mrs. Tai, Sister Feng is here." ”
The Feng sister in Mama Chu's mouth is the Feng Mama who took care of Yuan Dong'er in the back mountain, the two used to serve together in Muying Hall, and later they became relatives and had different errands, but they were still the right-hand man of the Huangfu clan.
"Let her in." Huangfu clapped his hands hurriedly and said, "How many times have I said it, Feng Yatou is here, there is no need to pass it on." ”
"The slave said the same thing, but my sister insisted on refusing, saying that she couldn't break the rules." Mama Chu turned around and walked out, and after a while, she led a woman in her forties in, the woman was dark-skinned, lean, smiled before speaking, and hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied: "Say hello to Mrs. Tai." ”
"Get up and sit." The Huangfu clan smiled kindly at her, "You have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, is there something wrong?" ”
Mama Chu retreated silently.
"Mrs. Tai, the slave maid feels that Yuan Dong'er seems to have sobered up a lot recently, and yesterday she suddenly said that she was not called Yuan Dong'er, but Yingying, and said that she should have lived in the palace." Mama Feng stepped forward and whispered.
"It's just that she's not sober enough, and if she was really sober, she wouldn't say that." Huangfu frowned, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he sighed, "Speaking of which, I'm sorry for her, all these years, I haven't treated her properly, so I let others live in chaos like this." ”
"Mrs. Tai's words are serious, she is just a subordinate, and being able to get such care from Mrs. Tai can be regarded as a blessing from her previous life." Mama Feng sighed, "The slave thinks it's good for her to be like this, she lives in her own circle every day, carefree, and has no worries." ”
"Yes! When I look at the house, I count this Yuan Dong'er living comfortably. Huangfu lowered his head and stroked his fingers, and said faintly, "Feng girl, if the old marquis and I didn't want the title rewarded by the first emperor, but went back to our hometown, maybe there wouldn't be so many troubles, sometimes when I think about it, I regret not being at the beginning!" ”
Right now, the house is in a mess, and nothing is going well.
Although the big house has taken the title, but the daughter-in-law is not what she likes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't say that they can go together, the three grandsons have become relatives, but none of the granddaughters-in-law are pregnant, can't she see her great-grandson born until she dies?
Needless to say, Mu Changfeng is not a motivated person, he is not at peace all day long, and his two grandsons are good husbands, but they are affected by their parents all their lives, and they have not decided on family affairs until now.
In short, one word: sorrow!
"Mrs. Tai, don't worry, there is a prince in the house, and it will be fine as soon as you want." Mama Feng hurriedly comforted.
The two were talking, but they saw Mama Chu hurriedly walking in and reporting: "Mrs. Tai, Gonggong Li of Ci'an Palace is here, saying that the Queen Mother urgently summoned Mrs. Tai into the palace." ”
Half an hour later.
The Huangfu clan was already sitting in Ci'an Palace and drinking tea, and when Empress Dowager Xiao saw that she was looking at her with a puzzled face, she frowned and said, "Jinyu, something happened to the Shen Mansion." ”
When the Huangfu clan heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, and he asked quietly, "What's wrong?" ”
She naturally knew that the Shen Mansion in the Queen Mother's mouth was the Shen family in Jingzhou, but why didn't she hear the slightest rumor?
"A few days ago, the people of the Canglang Society were in trouble in Jingzhou, and the emperor was furious and ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the Canglang Society, and now it has been found out that this Canglang Society is a gang secretly funded by the family of the previous dynasty, I heard that the Shen Mansion was also implicated!" Empress Dowager Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed, "Although more than 30 years have passed since the last restoration case of the previous dynasty, the emperor has been lingering in his heart all these years, and he has just relented in the past two years, allowing the children of the former dynasty to enter Beijing as officials and serve the imperial court. ”
"I don't know what Shen Ke is charged with?" Huangfu asked.
"Resell rocks and make a profit." The corners of Empress Dowager Xiao's mouth moved, and the hairpin ring between her sideburns also shook, looked at the Huangfu family, paused, and sighed, "This is just one of the big and small crimes!" ”
When the Huangfu clan heard this, he immediately gasped, and his face changed greatly: "What is the real crime?" ”
"He's one of the leaders of the Waves." Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, "This is a capital crime!" ”
"Impossible." Huangfu shook his head and said, "Empress Dowager Mingjian, now that the Great Liang has been founded for thirty-seven years, I think that Shen Ke is just a young man in his early twenties, not a child of a family from the previous dynasty, how can he become the leader of the Canglang Society?" ”
"Jinyu, although the mourning family doesn't believe it either, this matter is absolutely true." Empress Dowager Xiao continued to sigh, "Anyway, it's always Shen Lang's grandson, and the mourning family doesn't want him to have anything to do, but the state has national laws, Shen Ke is afraid that it will be difficult to escape this time, and the mourning family is sad, so I urgently summoned you to come over and talk." ”
"Queen Mother." When the Huangfu clan heard this, he hurriedly got up and knelt down on the Empress Dowager Xiao, leaned over and pleaded with him, "For the sake of Shen Lang as the former emperor, spare Shen Ke this time!" ”
That year and that month.
The fairy-like man stared at her for a long time before he sighed, Jinyu, you and I still missed it after all......
Looking at his desperate back, she cried so much that she didn't hate him, she knew that he was not wrong, what was wrong was just that God pulled the wrong marriage.
"Oh, what are you doing here?" Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly got up and helped her up.
"As long as the Queen Mother has the heart to help, things will definitely take a turn for the better." When the Huangfu clan heard Empress Dowager Xiao say this, his heart was a little calmer, and he hurriedly said, "The courtiers are not helping Shen Ke get rid of his crimes, but begging the Empress Dowager to save his life, the three generations of the Shen family have been passed down, and this is the only bloodline that Shen Lang left in the world." ”
Empress Dowager Xiao let out a long sigh, leaned her head on the pillow on the chaise longue, closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "These mourners all know that now the Empress Dowager is also involved in this matter, and the mourning family is afraid that they are powerless, in short, the mourning family is doing their best." ”
Ching Shin Yuan.
"Young lady, the slave and maid have exchanged all the silver in the treasury for gold bars." Momozhi walked in happily with the account book and said, "Do you still need to change those calligraphy and painting antiques or something?" ”
"No need!" Shen Qingli took the account book, looked at it carefully, and said, "If the warehouse is empty, it will make people suspicious, so let's keep it!" Let's just put these gold bars away. ”
"Young lady, does the prince know about this?" Momoeda asked with interest.
Shen Qingli smiled: "He doesn't even know how much silver is in the treasury, how can he know this?" ”
Mu Yunting never seemed to have taken care of the warehouse himself, and there was a mess of everything inside.
asked Mu An, Mu An didn't even count the things in the warehouse, he was really speechless!
"Then why did the young lady leave 10,000 taels of silver?" Taozhi asked puzzledly, "It's better to replace it with gold, now that the South Pear Orchard is almost finished, there is no need for such a large amount of silver!" ”
"It was used very quickly." Shen Qingli said calmly, "After the South Pear Orchard is settled, I will plant tea trees on the mountain, and then discharge the flood from the reservoir halfway up the mountain, so that the water can gather on the old village side to form an artificial lake, and then build a teahouse on the lake, so that the South Pear Orchard will have income." ”
A few days ago, she repeatedly went to the mountain to look, and found that the soil on the hill was the most suitable for planting tea trees, and the old village was originally low, if it was flooded, it would be flooded, it was better to build a lake directly, and by the way, build a few corridors on the lake, and design it as a water teahouse, so as not to attract the attention of dignitaries and nobles.
"I see." Momoeda clapped her hands and smiled, "Then put a few more boats on the lake and sail on the lake, which is really a wonderful thing." ”
"Yes, do as you say!" Shen Qingli's eyes lit up.
The door curtain shook, and Bi Tao walked in with a small mahogany box, and said with a smile: "Young lady, the prince asked someone to come back with a little gift." ”
"Our son is getting more and more interested in the young lady." Momoeda quipped.
Shen Qingli hurriedly took the box, pursed his lips and entered the back room to open it to see that it was an amethyst bracelet.
Each amethyst is irregular diamond-shaped, with a round and delicate texture, and it has a feeling of being cool like water on the wrist.
You can still vaguely smell the faint mint smell coming from inside, which is the unique feature of amethyst.
I heard that if this amethyst is to be ground like this, it will cost more than ten catties of rough stone.
Looking at this bracelet, Shen Qingli suddenly felt a trace of sweetness in his heart.
In fact, Mu Yunting is quite careful.
It's just that some time ago, when the two were chatting, she once mentioned that she actually likes to wear bracelets, he asked what bracelets were, and she said that it was like Buddha beads, a bead and a bead strung up and worn on the hand is a bracelet.
Unexpectedly, he remembered it in his heart!
Outside the window, there was a noise.
Bi Tao frowned, strode out, and saw two or three figures not far away pushing and shoving and saying something, and reprimanded: "It's noon, what are you yelling about, it's noisy young lady, you all have to get out of Qingxin Garden one by one." ”
"Miss Peach." One of the maids hurriedly stopped and said aggrievedly, "Yes, it is Miss Song who has to go in to build a young lady, slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids can't stop them." ”
Only then did Bi Tao see that it was Song Xiaoyu who was shouting to see Shen Qingli, so she hurriedly shouted: "If you have something to say slowly, you all stop it for me." ”
Song Xiaoyu saw that it was Bi Tao, so she hurriedly pounced on her, and said urgently: "Miss Bi Tao, let me see the young lady, something happened to the Shen Mansion, and the uncle was arrested by the people of the official mansion!" ”R1152
