630 Unmasked
Jiang Shuqi heard that even his mother was scolded, and said sharply: "She also said that she was a young lady from a famous family in Weizhou, hum!" What a famous family, if she hadn't married the old prince and flew on the branches to become a phoenix, she might not have what her identity was. When a small family comes out, there is no rule, how can there be such a scolding, just talk about things, my sister endures her, but scolds my mother! ”
He was bored at the moment, and he was interested, and said with a smile: "I heard that in the past thirty years of the Ye family, the biggest official in the family is Wupin Zhizhou, and even the father of the old princess is only the Zhixian of Liupin Jing County, before marrying the old prince, Weizhou's family only got 300 acres of fertile land, with two tea shops, a grocery store, and a cloth village. ”
The county lord of Qingxia didn't expect the He family to say so clearly, as far as she knew, the Ye family was now one of the big clans in Weizhou, with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and countless shops, "Who did Mrs. Jiang San listen to?" ”
Murong only regarded it as gossip and said with a smile: "The third wife of our family is the most well-informed, as long as she wants to inquire, there is no one she doesn't know." ”
He Shi smiled, "I also know that your mother married your father and gave birth to your sister in less than seven months. I heard that the woman in the photo of the old prince earlier by the emperor is the real princess family, the eldest lady of the dignified and distant waiting house, and the eldest lady is the one who is now married to the king of Huaiyang as a concubine, but she is a famous virtuous woman in the Manchu Dynasty, and her heirs have three sons and two daughters, and Huai'an Houyu Wenyuan is her second son......"
The county lord of Qingxia had never heard of this, could it be that her mother did not agree with her marrying Han Shao into Weiyuan Houfu at the beginning, because Han Shao's eldest aunt was originally going to marry her father.
When she was a child, she heard that her eldest sister Zixia was born prematurely, and when she heard He say it today, she seemed to have another secret.
The old princess in the kitchen was not half angry to death, and wanted to rush out, her bottom eight hundred years ago was pulled out by the He family. Suddenly remembered Su Yan's words to threaten her, could it be that she also listened to what this He said, how can this woman know everything.
Liu Feifei looked at He Shi with admiration, "The third sister-in-law is really amazing. Even these old things can be known clearly. ”
He looked disapproving, but he was quite useful in his heart, "After the old princess married the old prince, she helped her mother's family a lot. The eldest man of the Ye family was originally a Zhizhou who was a five-grade official, and he was going to the northwest to be an official, and as soon as there was a war in the northwest, he resigned and ran back to Weizhou. once joked with others after being drunk that it was better to be the princess's brother-in-law than to be an official. It is said that it takes only a year to be an official and get a lot of silver, but the old princess can get 500,000 taels of silver for more than a year. When I was young, there were seventy or eighty thousand taels ......"
Yu squinted slightly. And don't speak.
The county lord of Qingxia was even more stunned. "Mrs. Jiang San doesn't even know all of them?"
He asked rhetorically: "I heard a popular folk song in Weizhou, which reads like this: 'It is better to have a man than a girl, give birth to a daughter and marry a prince, and one person is rich and the whole family is full'." She spoke in a low voice. I felt the appearance of a child, shook my head, but there was endless sarcasm on my face, "This is the old princess of your family!" Therefore, in the next spring draft, Weizhou has the most beauties, and there are seven women to be selected in the Ye family in Weizhou......"
Jiang Shuqi said coldly: "The third sister-in-law is talking nonsense, the imperial court has regulations, and the next spring draft is full of unmarried women from officials above the fifth grade. The Ye family has done Zhizhou on a Ye Nanfeng. Now he has resigned and is at home. ”
He said: "Will the Ye family spend a lot of money to send their daughter to the palace?" Money can make ghosts grind, fifth brother, don't believe it, in the spring of next year, as long as the show girl surnamed Ye in the palace is carefully checked, she must be the daughter of the Ye family in Weizhou. Another one surnamed Ye entered the palace. ”
Shen didn't take it to heart at all, and He loved to show off in front of people that she knew everything.
Murong was skeptical.
Liu Feifei said: "No, this is a crime of deception." ”
Yu said unhurriedly, "This kind of thing is not a deception, there is a precedent." The palace maid who entered the palace was famous in a large family, so she chose a girl of the same age to replace her. There is also such a thing in the show girl. Sometimes it is the concubine who is selected, and there are many who are named by the concubine. If you have the same surname, one family has a woman and one family has no daughter, and the two families privately say yes, and use the female to the female family......"
Shen asked, "Aren't you afraid of finding out?" ”
Murong said: "I also heard what Ah Jiu said. The original Concubine De was originally her sister in the family who entered the palace, but her sister was far inferior to her in terms of appearance and female popularity, so she entered the palace as a concubine. Often the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites booked the quota of show girls, which only said that the daughter of a certain official chose a day to enter the palace to be selected, and it would not be written which one, if the sisters were of the same age, the free parents decided who entered the palace. ”
Seeing that the topic was far away, He Shi turned his head to the county lord of Qingxia and said, "I heard that you promised Han Sanye of Weiyuan Houfu?" ”
The county lord of Qingxia replied with a "yes".
He raised his fingers, "You are a smart person, this Han Sanye is the most talented and learned in the generation of Weiyuan Houfu, and he has both literary and martial arts." is much stronger than the Ye family's Ye Hao, who has no merit at all! ”
The old princess scolded angrily in the kitchen and calmed down, but she had to admit that what He said was the truth.
This Jiang family is so powerful that they actually know everything.
Why did she provoke the Jiang family?
If you let the old prince and Yu Wenyan know that she has given so many things to the Ye family over the years, she may not know how to complain.
The county lord of Qingxia smiled happily, "Xie Lu, Xie Jiangsan's grandmother complimented. ”
He said: "I'm not praising you, I'm telling the truth." You and Han Sanye are really a talented and beautiful pair. ”
Yu rolled his eyes.
He can get close to people wherever he goes.
Shen wanted to laugh, and raised his hand to drink tea with a teacup.
Jiang Shuqi asked a little reluctantly: "When will the old prince come back?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, I heard a "Ache" sound, and turned my head to search, "What sound?" ”
This voice came from the kitchen, and the county lord of Qingxia hurriedly covered his mouth, "Ache", pointed to himself, and said, "Xu is my father who has received the news and will be back in a while." ”
Liu Feifei saw that it was not a matter to sit like this, and said, "Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, let's play cards?" It's better to sit and wait than to kill time. ”
The county lord of Qingxia didn't want to sit like this, and seeing that the Yu clan also agreed, he ordered his subordinates to take the cards.
Jiang Shuqi also sat around the table with the Shen family, the Murong family, and the Yu family, and Liu Feifei had just learned to feed the pigs and was playing with the Murong family.
Playing cards outside, but the old princess was bitter, she couldn't go anywhere in the kitchen, she wanted to relieve herself, she endured it and endured it, she held it back, and even a sneeze could be found by them immediately.
At noon, Qingxia County proposed a table of sumptuous meals to entertain them.
After lunch, everyone talked and continued to wait for the old prince.
The old princess discovered for the first time that the Jiang family acted from beginning to end, and they really didn't leave if they couldn't wait for someone.
Listening to the noise outside, it seemed that Jiang Shuqi had won alone, and even the Yu family had lost the silver to him, shouting loudly, as if he had won the middle in the field.
The Jiang family dared to look down on the Ye family in Weizhou, their Jiang family was just an ordinary family in Jinyang earlier, and Jiang Shuncheng only revived it after he stepped into the official career.
The old princess scolded fiercely in her heart, what's wrong with my Ye family, not only has there been a princess, but also a princess, and when the time comes, she will also be promoted to a knighthood, and her honor and favor are unlimited.
As soon as the old prince left the palace, someone from the palace greeted him and told him about the situation at home.
Su Yan is a good person, but the Jiang family is prosperous, and it will be difficult to provoke the Jiang family.
With a nervous heart, Lao Wang approached the palace, and saw that there were carriages and sedan chairs parked at the door of the palace, and a big "Jiang" character was embroidered on the curtain door, as well as the words "Wenzhong Houfu" and "Pingguo Gongfu".
In the upper room, there was a burst of laughter, but the matter had been successfully resolved.
He quickened his pace, but saw that the county lord of Qingxia was playing cards with the Yu family, and the Shen family was tired and was sitting on the side and watching.
The girl greeted her, "Greetings to the old prince!" ”
When Yu heard the voice, he immediately raised his eyes and saw that it was really the old prince who held back his smile, and put the card aside: "Don't play!" ”
It's important to get down to business, and you can't forget about big things just because you're having fun.
Yu, Shen and the others stood up and saluted respectfully.
Yu said: "I took the liberty to visit today, I came to find the old princess, how does she treat my Yan'er, the old prince already knows the way?" ”
The old prince has already heard someone say, "Yesterday, Neiko took the little girl into her daughter-in-law's boudoir, she was wrong, and I will compensate the old lady and the wives on behalf of Neizi." ”
His attitude was also sincere, and even Jiang Shuqi was a little surprised.
Shen said: "The old prince can't apologize to me every time something happens. Last time, Fu Yixin fell in love with Prince Yan, the sisters were bad behind their backs, and the old prince came to the door for the second time to ask for marriage, how good it was, but look at what the old princess did, beating, scolding, punishing kneeling, and even scolding the old lady of our family, but I can't take the little girl to hit my sister-in-law's boudoir, although the sister-in-law is married, but this is good to talk about a reputation and spread the word, what has become of it? Could it be that the boudoir of the palace on the left shoulder and the ladies of the Ye family can be allowed to enter and leave the little ones? ”
He Shi said coldly: "I heard that the Ye family is such a family rule, otherwise how could the old princess be so ignorant." ”
Shen usually doesn't speak, but once he speaks, he can speak convincingly.
When the old prince heard this, he only knew about breaking into his new daughter-in-law's boudoir, and he didn't think that there were beatings, scolding, and kneeling. If this happened during the time of the first emperor, he would have been called to the palace by the first emperor to reprimand him, accusing him of not governing the family strictly.
Yu said: "Earlier, my son was reckless, and he scolded the old princess at the gate of the mansion because he was wrong, I will make amends first." ”
She bowed generously and apologized, and said: "Old prince, this matter is one yard to the next, since the old princess provoked it, she has to come out and give me a justice and explanation today." My family's Yan'er is held in the house by my parents, brother and sister-in-law, and I am very distressed, even I, and I am reluctant to say a few heavy words, but I am not married to your family and be beaten and scolded by the old princess, and she will be humiliated. ”
Yu was not angry, but tepidly said his reasoning and worries.
The county lord of Qingxia felt more and more that this Yu family made him respectful, but people were reasonable, and they could be polite and courteous when they saw the old prince, and this point was not comparable to the old princess.
