Chapter 582: Rare Auction II
Xishan Palace is a group of palace groups, leaning on the mountains and rivers is very magnificent, its attached royal garden is even more praised, its strange flowers and plants are beautiful, the pavilions and pavilions have their own characteristics, there are arch bridge pavilions and pavilions of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also solemn mansions in the north.
Fan Anyang mentioned yƬ in the royal garden and chose a place to hold a rare auction.
"Moreover, the rare auction is presided over by the emperor, think about it, how many people can be attracted who want to show their faces in front of the emperor? This auction is to raise funds for the victims, and it is good for the emperor and the court to come forward, so it is enough for us to have the scenery in the early stage."
After Du Yunxun came back, Fan Anyang pulled and told Yan Chi about today's door.
Hearing Fan Anyang say this, Du Yunxun hooked his lips and smiled, "It's just right, I was worried that if Master held this auction, he would be too popular, and he would be jealous, or even cause the emperor's dissatisfaction." He lowered his voice, leaned into Fan Anyang's ear and said, "Actually, this time, the emperor shouldn't send the princes on patrol, and if you can't send that official to inspect, why do you have to send the prince and them?"
It's a lot of trouble!
"If I am a disaster victim, I would rather the imperial court send some capable and practical people to the disaster area, those princes who are usually pampered in the capital, what can the princes do when they go to the disaster area, just add to the trouble of the local parents and officials. It's normal to be assassinated! "
Du Yunxun nodded in agreement, "You are right, but the emperor just wanted to let the princes, who are usually pampered, see the reality with their own eyes, and take on the heavy responsibility of the monarch, not just sitting on the dragon chair and listening to the courtiers play."
"If the princes don't understand the suffering of the people, don't understand the suffering of the people, and don't see with their own eyes how dangerous that disaster is. Even if the Mandate of Heaven is the emperor, and Dayan is in the hands of such an emperor, can the people have a good life?"
It's just that the emperor misestimated the woman's heart, he thought about it, and he wanted to fight for the crown prince. must go to the Nine Emperor Princes, after all, he is a concubine of the Middle Palace, so King Cheng and Yao Du commanded the envoys, and the emperor asked Yao Du to command the envoys to mix the masters in the Beijing camp with his people and assign them to protect the Cheng Wang brothers and the Nine Emperor Princes.
This matter was told by Du Xiang to Du Yunxun. So he knew that the secret guard who was responsible for protecting the Nine Emperor Princes was the one he knew when he was in the northwest, and because of this relationship, it was difficult for the secret guard to send any news back to Beijing through official channels. It was quietly passed to the Yan family in Tongzhou Calligraphy and Painting Workshop, and then handed over to Du Yunxun, who transferred it to Du Xiang and then passed it on to the emperor.
Du Yunxun felt that it was too much at all, the secret guards had something to do, and they would send it back to the palace directly, so why should they go through themselves?
But what can grandfather say about it? You can only do it obediently.
Fan Anyang didn't know that the princes would be assassinated, and someone was deliberately cheating. But there are also people who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and of course they don't know that King An's death was purely caused by his mother. She is very sympathetic to Princess An, Princess An still has a child in her belly! It's a pity that he has become a fatherless child before he lands.
"If Princess An gives birth to a son in this baby, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life, if she wants to give birth to a daughter, will the clan give King An an heir?" Ding Xiao'an and they were chatting. This issue has been discussed, but in the end the focus is not on having a boy or a girl. It's whether Princess Ann can give birth to the child safely.
I heard that if it weren't for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Duchess Protector, the two palace people sent by the Queen Mother to wait for King An would have made a fuss. King An is dead, what hope do they have? Make a fuss so that the Queen Mother can remember them! It's a pity that they can't fight the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Duchess of the Protectorate, even if they raise the name of the Queen Mother, it won't work.
The Duchess of the Protector even said, "Since it is from the side of the Queen Mother, it must be a person who knows etiquette, when the prince is there, Su spoils you, he is gone now, and there is a shortage of people waiting for him, so you will be martyred!" When you go underground, you must remember to follow the instructions of the Queen Mother, so that you can wait for the prince."
Fan Anyang felt creepy after hearing this, even if he gave it to Du Yunxun at this moment, he still felt cold.
"Do you think it's bad for the Duchess to do this?"
"She is here to protect her daughter and grandson, there is nothing wrong with it, Princess An will have fetal gas, and it is these two women who made it. It's just that the funeral makes me feel uncomfortable."
Du Yunxun nodded and pulled her into his arms, "I remember that on the way to Guangling, we encountered a case where the in-laws forced the new daughter-in-law to bury their deceased son."
"Huh? Do you remember?"
"Remember! The village chief's daughter also instigated your maid to meddle in this matter, and those two maids were punished by the eldest brother."
"Yes, yes, Rui Xue and Rui Fang, since that incident, they have been more cautious in doing things, even if they go to inquire about the news, they don't dare to tell the things in our courtyard."
Du Yunxun smiled and stretched out his hand to point her nose, it was windy at night, so Fan Anyang had already asked people to close the door of Changxuan, and the husband and wife leaned on the big pillow on the wooden floor, whispering together, Mo Xiang looked out in the room, and Zhu Xiang sighed: "It's so beautiful."
"Well, the second young master and the second young grandmother are really good-looking."
Mo Xiang felt pain in the corners of her forehead, what are these little girls looking at? I told them to stay here because I was afraid that if the masters asked someone to wait, they didn't see it, and they missed the errand, and as a result, they stood by the window one by two and looked stupid.
"The second young master hasn't had dinner yet! Let's get someone to set the table! Ruixiang hurriedly slipped out.
"Sister Moxiang, Sister Meiyue next to the second girl is here, saying that she has something to find the second young grandmother."
Mo Xiang hurriedly said, "I'll go see her, you pay attention to the summons of the masters."
The maids promised.
Mo Xiang hurriedly came out, Mei Yue saw her, she was busy, Mo Xiang avoided half a salute, "Why is Miss Mei Yue here?".
[,ļ¼ "I'm a night owl who comes into the house, and I don't come for anything."
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, I heard that the second young grandmother's master held an auction, and the second girl wants to ask the second young grandmother for a few tickets." Mei Yue laughed with her and said softly to Mo Xiang.
How many tickets?" Is it a charity auction or a rare auction?" Mo Xiang asked.
Although the proceeds of the two auctions are to be used for the victims, there is a huge gap between the tickets for the two auctions!
The corners of Mei Yue's mouth twitched, and she hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer. The second girl explained to her, if she could. Tickets to rare auctions, of course! Take a few if you can, but Mei Yue also knows that it is impossible, in the face of Mo Xiang's questioning, she really doesn't dare to speak!
"If the second girl wants to go to the charity auction, the ticket is ten taels of silver. Shouldn't it be too expensive, right?" The second girl took two maids to visit, and the ticket money was only thirty taels, did she want the second young grandmother to help her? She used to buy no less than a hundred taels of jewelry!
"It's not just the second girl who is going, there's also Mrs. Wan......" Mei Yue smiled bitterly.
Mrs. Wan? Does she still have the leisure to go to the auction?
"If Mrs. Wan wants to go, it is right to honor Mrs. Wan's mother-in-law, but. Our young grandmother doesn't have a ticket in her hand, so she can't give it even if she wants to."
Mei Yue was stunned, "How could the second young grandmother not have a ticket?"
"Why does our young grandmother have tickets? This auction is organized by the painting and calligraphy shop of Yan Da's painter's family, and it is not run by my young grandmother."
Mei Yue opened her mouth and said, "But. . . That, the second young grandmother is not, isn't she the apprentice of Yan Da painter? Isn't that shop half of that second young master?" The grandmother sent by the Wan family said that the second young grandmother and the second young master can be half of the masters of the calligraphy and painting shop!
"The old gentleman has a daughter and a son-in-law, why does his shop ask the apprentices to be the masters?" The Wan family will not think about money and want to go crazy and want to go through the second girl. Stretch your hand that long, right?
Mo Xiang thought too much, Mrs. Wan just wanted to save the ticket money, and then sneak into the rare auction to show her face. It would be even better if I could take the opportunity to sell a few granddaughters in the family!
Originally, when Xiao Wan was in charge, Mrs. Wan hoped that she could attend any social occasion and bring her nieces and nieces along. It's a wasted opportunity.
Now it's like this again, lying half-dead in bed every day. As soon as his temper came up, he beat and scolded the people around him. What is the use of purifying anger? The daughter is useless, the granddaughter is half the age, originally Fan Anyang and Lu, she wanted to show her face and get to know the old lady Ding, but unfortunately, she was rejected by others.
Mrs. Ding took over to hold the round house banquet of Du Yunxun and his wife, but as a result, King An passed away, and the business of Wanfu plummeted after losing the protection of Du Mansion, and the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter are now very unsatisfactory, and Mrs. Wan tried her best to drill the camp.
finally made her wait for such an opportunity to show her face and make friends with powerful people, how could she let it go? However, people queued up to buy tickets for rare auctions, but they never bought them (in fact, after the guy who went to queue up to buy tickets bought the tickets, he sold them at a high price, so he made a lot of money.) A ticket outside has been fried to three thousand taels of silver, and I heard that it will get higher and higher.
Mrs. Wan feels pain when she thinks about it! If you don't want to hurt your purse, you have to use your brain, no, it made her think of a good way to ask Du Yunlei to ask her second sister-in-law.
If she didn't give it, she would ask Du Yunlei to go to Du Xiang and sue her fiercely.
It's just that Mrs. Wan didn't expect that Du Yunlei was thin-skinned and had no face to speak to Fan Anyang in person, and Mei Yue, who was sent to ask Fan Anyang for tickets, didn't dare to ask for the tickets that Mrs. Wan really wanted, and she was speechless when she was blocked by Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang sent Mei Yue away and went back to report.
After hearing this, Du Yunxun said, "The second sister is at home all day, how does she know this?"
"The day before yesterday, the Wan family sent someone to visit the second sister, and they were going to visit the third brother, but the third brother refused to see him."
"What has he been doing lately?"
Fan Anyang turned his head to look at Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang stepped forward and replied: "I heard the maids in the Third Young Master's courtyard say that the Third Young Master is always in a daze, and I don't know what he is thinking."
"Got it." Du Yunxun paused, "What did the people from the Wan family say to the second girl?"
"Ordinary greetings, and then there is the matter of asking the second girl to ask the second young grandmother for tickets."
"Rare auctions?"
Ink-scented jaw head." The slave maid has already told Mei Yue that the second young grandmother does not have a ticket in her hand."
"You don't?"
"No! I'm not going to the auction, what do I want that ticket for?"
"Fool, Master gives it to you, if you don't go, let's resell it to others at a high price!" Du Yun seeks.
Fan Anyang stroked his forehead, "You sold your tickets?"
"Master gave me ten, and I gave them all to Xiaolu to resell to others!"
Well, I made a small fortune!
Seeing him smiling proudly, Fan Anyang was a little afraid to look directly." What about the money?"
"I donated it in the name of my mother and Yun Yao." (To be continued)
