It's Saturday, and I won't rest this week, dear friends, if you have saved a monthly pass, shake it off, it's the middle of the month. Momda

------Off topic------

Xie Mohan asked about Prince Ying's Mansion again, and Xie Fanghua told the truth. I couldn't help but wonder when I heard that Qin Hao's concubine also died today. But in the end, it was Qin Hao's concubine, and the three of them didn't have much interest, so they began to talk about the news they had already received about the departure of the two people in Qingshuilou tonight, discussing countermeasures, how to make a move, and leaving the two without alarming the eyes of the royal guards.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Xie Clan's salt warehouse, who would be rare!" Xie Yunji pouted.

Xie Yunlan shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "No matter what, you have to take the money, with these two death-free gold medals, once Yun Ji's identity is exposed, although the emperor can't help Yun Ji, he can't deal with Xie Yancang lightly." ”

After hearing this, Xie Fanghua sneered, "Although the gold medal for avoiding death is good, the power is also in the hands of the emperor, and 10 million taels of silver were exchanged for two pieces of this broken thing, and he died of loss." ”

This matter was decided, and the emperor left everyone to have lunch in the palace, and the three of them shirked it and left the palace together.

The Emperor's jaw.

Xie Mohan sighed, "Naturally, Marquis Zhongyong can't take so much, over the years, my grandfather is old, my sister and I are not in good health, and we have spent countless amounts on medicine." But a million taels of silver can still be taken. ”

The emperor looked at Xie Mohan again, "Xie Shizi, how much can the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion take?" ”

Xie Yunlan also nodded.

The emperor looked at Xie Yunlan.

Xie Yunji nodded.

"The time can't be too late, at most seven days, I will start to go to Linfen Bridge with the people from the Ministry of Works." The emperor said, "On the day when the silver taels are ready, I will send someone to give you two a gold medal for avoiding death." ”

"In that case, even if the Xie Salt Warehouse tightens his belt to get by, he will have to take out five million taels." Xie Yunji said a little bitterly, "Then thank you to the emperor!" After going back, he prepared for the emperor. ”

"Not everyone can get the gold medal for avoiding death, since the founding of the Southern Qin Dynasty, except for the Wang family who was rewarded with a gold medal by Taizu, there has never been a gold medal for avoiding death. This time, I gave two pieces at a time, which is already an exception. The Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, five million taels is not a small amount." Xie Yunji looked at the emperor.

"If Xie's rice grain and Xie's salt warehouse can produce five million taels of silver, I will give each of you a gold medal for avoiding death." The queen looked back and said to Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan.

"Good!" The emperor clapped his hands, "With Xie Shizi's words, I am very relieved." ”

Xie Mohan shook his head, "The Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion has always been loyal to the country, and it is natural for the emperor to share his worries, once the Linfen Bridge is not built, in the flood season, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer, I don't ask for anything, the Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion eats the king's luck, and the matter of loyalty to the monarch should bear the brunt of the country and the people." ”

The emperor stared at the two of them for another moment, and then looked at Xie Mohan, "Xie Shizi, I didn't invite you, you took the initiative to come today, what do you want?" Same as them? ”

Xie Yunlan smiled, "Exactly!" ”

Xie Yunji smiled, "Nan Qin, the great Xie family, has always been loyal, and does not do anything that violates the law, nor does he do anything that is not subordinate." Naturally, the emperor will not kill us. But we don't lack anything at the moment, and this death-free gold medal is nothing more than to keep our children and grandchildren safe in the future. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and looked at the two, "Why do you two want to avoid the death of the gold medal, do you think that I will kill the Xie family's rice grain and the Xie family's salt warehouse?" ”

Xie Yunlan bowed, "Of course, if the emperor thinks that this request is excessive, then forget it." ”

"Originally, I thought that a small gold medal for avoiding death was a piece of cake for the emperor. But I think the emperor seems to be very embarrassed. Since the emperor is embarrassed, forget it. Xie Yunji said immediately.

The emperor looked at the two, Xie Yunlan's words fell, and his face was already very gloomy.

Xie Yunlan smiled, "I originally felt that as a citizen of Southern Qin and a descendant of the Xie family, I should share the emperor's worries, work hard for the suffering of the people, and should not ask the emperor for anything." However, since Yun Ji asked for this, then I will also ask for a gold medal for Xie's rice grain! ”

The emperor's smiling face suddenly froze.

Xie Yunji said with a smile, "If the emperor wants to give it, why don't you give Xie Shi's salt warehouse a gold medal for avoiding death." ”

The emperor looked at the two, "But it's okay to say!" ”

Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan glanced at each other and did not answer.

The emperor's face was a little unsightly for a while, he originally wanted to tie the two with his official position, but he didn't expect that neither of them had any intention of entering the court. But the two of them were holding dozens of times more things in their hands than the other merchants were holding in their hands, and he could only ask, "What those two want, if I can meet them, I will definitely respond to them." ”

Xie Yunlan also smiled, "The emperor knows that he is not in good health, so as not to miss the affairs of the court, and it is better to enter the court as an official." ”

Xie Yunji smiled and said suavely, "I am reluctant to live an unrestrained life." ”

The emperor looked at the two of them in surprise, "You two don't want to be officials in the court?" ”

The rest of the merchants' families were all overjoyed. But Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan rejected the emperor's benefits at the same time.

Therefore, the emperor can be regarded as grasping the weakness of the merchant family.

Therefore, for the family of merchants, what is lacking is not money, and what is reluctant to spend is not money, but what they want is the official road.

Xie's rice grain, Xie's salt warehouse and Xie's houses, every year, very few people can enter the court. The side branches of other families are even worse. If these side branches of the family want to be stable, most of them are to undertake the family's shops and fields.

Take the Xie family as an example, the entire family of the Shishi, that is, the family of the Marquis of Zhongyong is hereditary, and the rest of the side branches must also have talents, and the elders of the Tongguò clan recommend to the Marquis of Zhongyong, and the Marquis of Zhongyong will be promoted, and then after the scientific examination of the imperial court, after the examination, the Son of Heaven will summon him, and the official will be enabled, and he will enter the office.

Although the imperial court needs to use talents, they must be recommended by various states and counties, and then they can be admitted to the official after passing the examination. Most of them are hereditary children, and few of them are the children of the noble and the merchants.

This is naturally a good thing for the family of merchants!

While asking how much silver taels these merchants could invest in the reconstruction of the Linfen Bridge for the imperial court, they also gave a great lenient benefit, that is, each of these families could choose one person to enter the official and be exempted from scientific examinations.

Although Xie Mohan was not summoned, the emperor was naturally extremely happy when he entered the palace.

When he arrived at the painting hall in the living room, Xie Mohan told Xie Fanghua about the situation of entering the palace this time, just as Qin Zheng guessed that the emperor was summoning a few people to pay for the construction of the Linfen Bridge.

Several people nodded in unison, and the group entered the mansion.

"Let's go, let's go home!" Xie Mohan beckoned a few people into the house.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"You just came back from Prince Ying's mansion?" Xie Mohan asked.

"Brother, Brother Yunji, Brother Yunlan." Xie Fanghua saw that the three of them were in good condition, and the expressions on their faces were fine, so this trip to the palace must have been quite smooth.

After a short time, the two carriages came, and the three men dismounted from the carriage one after the other.

Xie Fanghua got out of the carriage and recognized it as Xie Mohan and Xie Yunji's carriage, as well as Xie Yunlan's carriage. She stopped and waited for the three.

As soon as her carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, two more carriages came from the direction of the palace.

The carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion went all the way back to the mansion smoothly.

The news that the eldest prince's concubine Yimeng also died also spread out of Prince Ying's mansion, and a new topic appeared on the street.

Xie Fanghua sat on the side and watched the two of them make trouble, and her mood was better.

The two laughed in the car for a while.

The waiter dodges.

"Dead girl, your mouth is really bad!" Pinzhu reached out to the waiter painting.

"You don't let people go when you're a ghost? This is deep love. "The painting is funny.

Pin Zhu snorted, "That's me warning him, if my life is accidentally hit, I won't let him go." ”

"Fool? How can I look at that Lin Qijing! obviously knew that the young lady was listening, but this time, she pretended to be quite decent. The waiter said.

"That's a fool, stupid all day." Pinzhu pouted.

"Isn't there still a Lin Qi with you?" The waiter said, "You are not alone in Luomeiju these days. ”

Pin Zhu blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled, "That's because Miss has a second son, and I have no one to accompany me." ”

"Pinzhu, how can you say that Luomeiju is boring? Don't you see that the young lady is a little reluctant to leave? The waiter suddenly whispered.

Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows, isn't it interesting to fall into Meiju? She smiled and stopped talking.

Pinzhu nodded, "Luomei Ju is really boring, it's better to ...... the Begonia Pavilion in the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion."

"Lest there be many dreams at night, so it is better to cut through the mess with a quick knife." Xie Fanghua said.

Pinzhu muttered in a low voice, "I thought I would have to be buried in the grave, but I didn't expect to return home with you so soon." I miss our house. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her amusedly.

After the carriage walked out of the road for a while, Pin Zhu let out a long breath, "Miss, you finally rescued me, that Luomeiju is a cage, I stay there every day, it's really boring." ”

The carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong left the palace of Prince Ying.

"Of course!" Jade Zhuo nodded triumphantly, then lowered the curtain.

Xie Fanghua thought that it was really worthy of Yu Qiyan and Wang Tianmei's son, she smiled and nodded, "If your mouth is strict, it is naturally easy to say." ”

Yuzhuo came to the car, opened the curtain, and whispered to Xie Fanghua, "Sister Fanghua, you have to be kind to me in the future, don't think that I don't know that there are seven handmaidens when I come, and eight handmaidens when I return." ”

Xie Fanghua waved his hand at Yuzhuo, "Go back!" You don't need to send it. The words fell, and he got into the carriage.

After a while, he went out of the house smoothly.

Concubine Liu originally wanted to say something more, but when she heard this, she could only stop talking, said to Xie Fanghua to walk slowly, and then walked towards her courtyard.

Xie Fanghua thought that she was really a mother, and she didn't think that her son had a problem, but only that someone else had died. She didn't bother to tell her again, and said with relief, "You don't look very good, go back and rest quickly!" ”

"I want to know why! Hao'er doesn't treat her badly, right? So far, Nanyuan is the only one concubine, although the young lady of the Zuo Xiangfu used to be domineering, but after a few contacts, I don't look like an intolerable person. How could she not think that she wanted to die? Concubine Liu was a little annoyed.

Xie Fanghua was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Concubine Liu also seemed to want to find someone to talk to, and she was really uncomfortable looking at her, but now that she happened to meet Xie Fanghua, she didn't swallow and said, "Imperial Doctor Sun said that she wanted to die by herself." ”

"What is the disease of Miss Yimeng?" Xie Fanghua asked.

"Hey, I don't know what's going on in this house, the people around the two sons and grandsons went in one day." Concubine Liu said.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Concubine Liu's face was not good, a little pale, "It turned out to be Miss Fanghua?" Are you here to see the second son of Zheng? ”

Xie Fanghua and his entourage passed by Bauhinia Garden, and they were bumping into Concubine Liu, she was stunned, it seemed that Concubine Liu had come back from reading her dreams. She stopped and greeted Concubine Liu.

Qin Zheng diverted to the study and threw the urn into the inner room of the study.

Yuzhuo blinked and chased after him.

Qin Zheng glanced at him, "What are you doing with so much nonsense, you invited him here and didn't send her back?" Just go! ”

"Cousin, the pomp and circumstance of Miss Zhongyong's Mansion is big, and this one has to be followed by a large number of maidservants. Right? Yu Zhuo approached Qin Zheng.

The group left Luomeiju and walked outside the house.

The waiter, the waiter and the others nodded in unison.

"Let's go! Let's go home! Xie Fanghua said to the maidservants who came with him.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips and waved at her.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

Xie Fanghua glanced at the sky, and then glanced in the direction where the Cuihong Mansion was located.

Qin Zheng paused and looked back at Xie Fanghua, "What are you anxious about?" ”

Xie Fanghua nodded and said to Qin Zheng, "I'm going home!" Rest in the house for these two days. ”

Pinzhu shook his head and said in a low voice, "No, don't worry, Miss!" ”

Xie Fanghua asked Pinzhu in a low voice, "There is no discomfort in the body, right?" ”

Qin Zheng glanced at Pinzhu, nodded, and entered the inner courtyard.

Back at Luomei House, the waiter and Pinzhu stood at the door waiting, and when they saw the two coming back, they all greeted each other, "Miss, the second son of Zheng!" ”

Qin Zheng walked towards Luomeiju with the box in his hand.

Lin Qi nodded.

After a while, the two filled the ashes, Qin Zheng covered the box, and turned back to Lin Qidao, "Clean up here." ”

The surroundings were quiet, and there was a faint cry from Nanyuan, and it seemed that Yimeng had really gone. The servants used to gather around here, but now most of them have gone to Nanyuan.

Xie Fanghua blinked slightly.

Qin Zheng glanced at her.

Xie Fanghua thought that this secret guard of Northern Qi was killed by him, and it was worth it for him to hold the ashes in his own hands. She also crouched down and carried it into the box with him.

Qin Zheng took the box, stepped forward, squatted in front of the ashes, and reached out to hold the ashes.

Lin Qi nodded hurriedly behind him, "Ready, here." The words fell, and he handed it to Qin Zheng.

"Is the urn ready?" Qin Zheng asked behind him.

The two of them left the garden together.

Prince Ying nodded.

Princess Ying wiped her eyes with Juanpa, and said to Prince Ying, "Let's go, let's go to Nanyuan to have a look, the eldest prince is not here, I have already sent someone to send him a message." Since it is his person, you still have to listen to his will to settle it. ”

After another tea time, the last flame was extinguished, and the dry wood and corpses were reduced to ashes.

But although it is far away, it will probably remain in the memory and will not be forgotten.

Xie Fanghua stood beside Qin Zheng and followed him to watch the fire, and since then, the hearing has disappeared, and the once quiet and pleasant life in Luomei is gone.

While the two were talking, Qin Zheng's body did not move, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, staring at the fire, his eyes were a little red.

Princess Ying nodded.

"I'll go with you later!" Prince Ying said.

"Isn't it? Just now, a little girl came to tell me, I can't leave here, and I haven't gone over yet, so I have already asked Chunlan to inform Concubine Liu. Princess Ying sighed, "What's wrong today, it's not good for a bad year." ”

"You two are powerful, and the emperor doesn't dare to mess with you!" Prince Ying smiled bitterly and softened, "I just heard that something happened to Hao'er over there?" ”

Prince Ying glared at him, "The emperor is becoming more and more disagreeable, you are so bullied!" You do it, we don't do it. ”

"You two are really a mother and son. There is a mother and there is a son. This kid is what you're used to. "Prince Ying is helpless.

Prince Ying snorted, "The holy decree came to Zheng'er's hand first, and if it came to me first, I would have thrown it to him and burned it." ”

Prince Ying was about to say two words about Qin Zheng, but looking at his gloomy face, he could only give up, sighed, and said to Prince Ying and Princess Ying, "Dare to burn the holy decree, he is the first throughout the ages." ”

"I'm mad when I talk about this! What is the emperor doing with it? I don't stare at big things, I stare at my son all day long, didn't I hurt him enough yesterday? Now that he was feeling uncomfortable, he was angry with him again? It's disgusting! Prince Ying said.

Prince Ying's face paleated a little when he heard this, "Zheng'er ruined the emperor's holy decree?" ”

Prince Ying and Princess Ying said to Prince Ying that she died suddenly of a heart disease in case her soul would not disperse and entangle Qin Zheng. It means that after her death, she was immediately turned into a person, and her soul was scattered, and she left.

Prince Ying nodded gently to Xie Fanghua, glanced around, then looked at the fire, and then looked at Qin Zheng for a moment before frowning at Prince Ying, "Why did you turn her into a princess in such a hurry?" ”

Xie Fanghua blessed Prince Ying.

The servants in the palace saw it and hurriedly saluted the prince.

About two more teas passed, and the cremation was almost over, and Prince Ying came back from the palace and came to the back garden when he heard the news.

Chunlan nodded and went in response.

Prince Ying shook her head, turned back to Chunlan and ordered, "You go to the West Courtyard to inform Concubine Liu, and say that let her go to see Yimeng first, and I will go over after I finish listening to the sound." ”

Qin Zheng snorted disdainfully when he heard this, "What kind of ability is it to toss a woman!" ”

Xie Fanghua was frightened when he heard it, Qin Hao was not a human being, he was really far worse than Qin Zheng.

Prince Ying sighed, "I'll go back and see, this girl is actually a good one, but it's a pity that it was ruined in Qin Hao's hands." Qin Hao doesn't treat her as a person, he is fine when he is happy, but once he doesn't like her, he tosses her in the room, she has lost two fetus, and her health has become worse and worse recently. ”

Qin Zheng shook his head, how did he know? That woman, he couldn't even remember what she looked like! I only know that it is Qin Hao's woman.

She looked at Qin Zheng.

Why did she die?

When Xie Fanghua pretended to be Tingyin, he had dealt with Yimeng twice, but he didn't expect that today, when the identity of Tingyin disappeared, Yimeng also died.
