Chapter 357: Pulling the Cold
An Rong's guess made Zhao Cheng feel reasonable.
But he had other ideas.
"Maybe someone wants to borrow the sword of the Hou Mansion to get rid of the Zhuang Wangfu," Zhao Cheng speculated.
An Rong looked at Zhao Cheng, his brows twisted slightly, this guess is not impossible.
It has not been a day or two since the prince of Zhuang Wang was rampant in Kyoto, and King Zhuang was good on the surface, but Jin Yu was defeated on the outside, and people who really knew him would spit on him.
It's just that King Zhuang's Mansion is the Prince's Mansion in the end, can the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion get rid of him?
Zhao Cheng said yes.
The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was absolutely not good before, but when he became close to the Duke of Xiao Guo's Mansion, the forces behind it were even more complicated.
Because the power of the Xiao Guogong Mansion is very large, as for what Cheng dΓΉ is, I am afraid that even the emperor may not be clear.
First of all, there are two sons-in-law.
One is the Marquis of Jingbei and the other is Prince Ding.
There are Prince Rui, the eldest princess, and Prince Yan who are good friends with the Xiao Guo Mansion.
There are also those families who are not in the court, and there are many private contacts.
There is also the Pei family, Mrs. Zhou......
Can these people sit back and watch the eldest brother of the granddaughter-in-law personally selected by Xiao Lao Guogong being beaten like that, and they are still slandered and ignored?
What's more, Shen Anbei angered the prince of Zhuang because he asked to marry Zhou Wan'er, and it was impossible for the Zhou family to stand idly by.
The Hou Mansion of Wu'an and the Zhou family joined forces to bring down the Zhuang Wangfu, although it was not easy, it should not be a difficult thing.
But An Rong knew that Zhuang Wangye was hiding very deeply, and if Wu'an Hou's Mansion and Zhuang Wangfu had a hard encounter, they might lose both.
This kind of way of hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred, An Rong doesn't like it.
Regardless of whether it is, someone wants to borrow the hand of Zhuang Wangfu to get rid of Wu'an Hou Mansion.
There are still people who want to borrow the hand of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an to get rid of the Zhuang Wangfu.
An Rong wanted to know who he was.
The former must have a grudge against the Marquis of Wu'an, and he must find out, this person's feeling of being an enemy and being clear makes An Rong feel like he is in his throat.
The latter used the Hou Mansion of Wu'an to achieve his own goals, bringing trouble to the Hou Mansion for her, no matter who he was, An Rong did not have a good impression of him, and more importantly, if he could use the Hou Mansion once, he could use it a second time.
She didn't worry about herself, but there were many people in the Hou Mansion who would be extremely easy to take the bait.
An Rong asked Zhao Cheng for help.
Zhao Cheng straightened his waist and said, "Fourth girl, don't worry, Grandpa Guo and the master know about this, and their subordinates will spare no effort to find out." β
An Rong thanked him.
Zhao Cheng turned around to leave.
Peony called him, pulled him aside, and asked softly, "Brother Zhao Cheng, why hasn't Young Master Xiao been missing since he saved my girl's life at the Lantern Festival last time?" β
If you want to say that Young Master Xiao Biao is angry with the girl, but there is no sign at all.
Isn't Brother Zhao Cheng still respectfully helping the girl?
It's just that she can't figure it out, why didn't Young Master Xiao Biao come back after leaving?
Moreover, even Zhao Feng didn't see anyone anymore.
Zhao Cheng's cheeks were slightly red, there were some things that Peony didn't know, but he knew it.
Zhao Cheng could only sue sΓΉ peony, his master was not not not coming, but he could not come.
Xiao Laoguogong's attitude was very tough, and Xiao Zhan tried to coax Xiao Laoguo to open his heart.
But Xiao Lao Guogong is not so easy to impress.
In short, Xiao Zhan failed.
He couldn't bear not to come to the Hou Mansion to find An Rong, firstly, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and secondly, because he was angry with the old man.
He is more calm with Xiao Lao Guogong, and it doesn't matter who is more.
Even today, the master asked him to tell Xiao Laoguo first.
Only by winning can he marry An Rong and enter the door faster.
Zhao Cheng would not say that his master endured very hard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Cheng and Peony spoke, jumped over, and disappeared from sight.
Peony walked towards An Rong.
An Rong asked her, "What do you want to avoid me asking Zhao Cheng?" β
Peony twisted her brows, "The slave asked Brother Zhao Feng, at the last lantern festival, the slave borrowed two taels of silver from him, and he hasn't paid it back." β
An Rong's face was a little red.
Xiao Zhan said that the projectile that was kicked and exploded by him was thrown by Zhao Feng on order, and he didn't come to the Hou Mansion because he was afraid that she would blame him.
An Rong turned around to go back to Linglong Garden.
Behind him, there was a maid calling softly.
An Rong turned around, and saw the little maid Cui'er in the outer courtyard stepping forward to salute.
Cui'er said, "Fourth girl, someone came to you to collect debts, saying that at the Lantern Festival, the flower boat you rented caught fire and burned to ashes, and you want to compensate for all the losses." β
An Rong's face was very stinky, it was not that she was unwilling to pay, but that it was not her fault that the flower boat was burned, it was Xiao Zhan's fault.
If you want to pay compensation, you should find him.
"How much does it cost?" An Rong asked.
Cui'er glanced at An Rong and said, "I said it was four thousand taels." β
"Four thousand taels?" Hearing this amount, Peony was furious at that time, "How can it be so much?" β
Cui'er also felt that it was too much, this was something she couldn't think of, if it weren't for the fact that there was too much money, Mr. Fu would have paid directly from the public school, and Mr. Fu asked her to come just to ask if the flower boat was worth the price.
Although it was wrong for the four girls to burn the flower boat, it was absolutely impossible for the lions to open their mouths.
"The head of the shipyard said that the flowers on the boat are all famous paintings of great value, and the furnishings are even more expensive and exquisite, and four thousand taels is still cheap for the sake of the face of the Hou Mansion," Cui'er said.
An Rong Yan frowned lightly.
No matter how hard she tried to remember the flower boat, no matter how she thought about it, she only thought of the people on the flower boat, the table dripping with blood and the small couch that turned over the clouds.
It seems that the couch is rosewood.
The carving on it is also fine, and An Rong estimates that the value of the small couch is about eighty taels to one hundred taels.
Otherwise, An Rong couldn't remember.
So An Rong said very directly, "You went back to the head of the painting boat and asked him to go to the Xiao Guogong Mansion to find Young Master Xiao Biao to get compensation." β
Cui'er is a little blind, not only is she blind, but also peony.
It doesn't seem appropriate for the girl to do this, the flower boat caught fire that day, wasn't Young Master Xun on the flower boat, how could I find Young Master Xiao Biao to get money?
Peony wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
What if the girl speaks seriously, and she mentions Young Master Xun and sells her?
Seeing An Rong turn around and leave, Cui'er pulled the peony's sleeve.
Peony was very helpless, "You just say it, and it's not you who asks for money." β
Cui'er thinks about it, she is only in charge of passing the word.
"Then I'm leaving," Cui'er said with a grin.
As a result, as soon as she turned around, she saw another maid coming over, and Cui'er was immediately unhappy.
"Bi'er, why are you here?" Cui'er asked, pouting.
Last time, she came to the inner courtyard to spread the word, and got a lot of pastries to eat, Bi'er was not happy, and now the head of Fufu asked her to come, and Bi'er said that she walked slowly and delayed time.
Fortunately, Mr. Fu didn't say anything.
At this time, Bi'er came, and Cui'er felt that she must have thought she was grinding and came to urge her.
Bi'er bared her teeth at her and said, "Who is here to urge you, you are here to get the money, but I am here to send the money." β
Cui'er's eyes widened as she watched Bi'er walk forward with her head held high.
Peony saw that Cui'er had an envelope in her hand, and said that she was sending money, and subconsciously thought that it was sent by Xun Zhi.
But Peony only guessed a third of the way right.
The money belonged to Xiao Zhan, but it was not given to An Rong.
Instead, please hand it over to Xiao Zhan.
Saying this, some people are dizzy, why don't you send the money to Xiao Zhan, but send it to An Rong to hand it over?
Because Xiao Zhan can't be found, to be precise, Xiao Zhan who doesn't wear a mask can't be found.
Xiao Zhan was elected as one of the top ten beautiful men.
The money from those silk flowers will be divided equally between the promoter and Xiao Zhan.
Everyone only knows that Xiao Zhan and An Rong have spoken, and as for who he is, no one knows, so this is not handed over to An Rong.
An Rong is speechless, with a demonic face, sitting at home, he can collect money, this is too cool, right?
These days, the Wu'an Hou Mansion is busy, and An Rong is also flawless about other things, and he is also curious at this time.
Because Xiao Zhan divided the money 4,700 taels.
I don't know what he's ranked in?
Bi'er hurriedly said, "The second in line, the first in place is the young master Pei Du of the Pei family, but he is only one hundred taels more silver than the second, and the person who sent the money said that if it weren't for the fact that there were many people who only saw the portrait and voted, and didn't know who he was or what his character was, it was estimated that he would be the first." β
Of course, it is also possible that because of poor character, you can't even make the list.
An Rong nodded.
Xiao Zhan's appearance, that's speechless.
Character, that's nothing to say.
In third place is Prince Rui's son.
The fourth is the Three Princes.
The fifth is the prince of Yongguo.
The sixth is the second young master of Uncle Yiyong's mansion.
The seventh is the prince of King Ning.
The eighth is the young master of Taifu Zhou's mansion, that is, Zhou Shaoyi.
Ninth, the prince of Jingbei Hou.
Tenth, Shen Anmin.
Here, I have to mention the eleventh.
Eleventh, it is the son of King Zhuang.
It is said that in order to be in the top ten, the prince of Zhuang Wang smashed 4,000 taels of silver, but was squeezed out by Shen Anmin.
This has also become a topic of conversation in Kyoto.
Everyone thinks that the prince of Zhuang beat Shen Anmin and was squeezed off the list, which accounts for a large part of the reason.
Because, Shen Anmin has five coins more silver than the prince of Zhuang Wang.
On top of that, only the top 10 can get half of it, and the rest will not get either.
King Zhuang has spent money in vain, and he has not yet been on the list, this tone is enough to be aggrieved.
"How much is my eldest brother?" An Rong asked curiously.
Bi'er said, "I heard that the eighteenth row is eighteen. β
An Rong pouted, the eldest brother was so weak.
Bi'er covered her mouth and smiled.
This can't be blamed on the prince, it's not the four girls who are making trouble.
If it weren't for the four girls dressing up as men, making Second Young Master Shen famous and famous in Kyoto, how could so many people know that Second Young Master has both ability and political integrity?
I heard that behind the lantern festival, there were many students in Qiongshan Academy, and one of them gave the second young master a silk flower worth ten taels.
Those students, it seems that very few of them are sent to the world.
I heard that as long as the second young master can be on the list, he must invite them to a big meal when he goes to the academy.
An Rong, "....... β
In other words, at this moment, a large number of students are pouring towards the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
It is said that he is visiting the patient, but in fact, he wants to see how seriously Shen Anmin's injury is, and whether he can't get out of bed miserably.
Because Ming'er Qiongshan Academy is about to open.
They are all looking forward to his tomorrow's invitation and let everyone have a good time.
Shen Anmin's heart is cold.
Because a bunch of bad friends think that he is like this, although the skin injury is a little strict, but the dark circles under his eyes are still much more amiable than at the beginning, with his diligence in studying and studying, he will definitely go to the academy.
They had made an appointment to wait for him to be entertained from tomorrow morning.
Shen Anmin's eyes were full of tears, and he called out that he was careless in making friends.
