Chapter 141
It's just that Yang Cuiying has entered the palace, which represents the face of the royal family, and the grade of the harem is not the same as that of the previous imperial court, so even if Shu Manyao is a third-grade order, far better than Yang Cuiying's six-grade beauty, it can't be tough at this time. For Yang Cuiying's good intentions, Shu Manyao could only shirk it: "Cousin, don't worry, when I see Man Jin one day, I will relay my cousin's words to Man Jin." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the old lady: "Grandmother, speaking of which, should we change our name?" The beauty is about to enter the palace, if we still call the beauty according to the name of the family, I am afraid that we will snub the beauty. ”
The old lady nodded hurriedly: "What Man Yao said is that it is indeed time to change the title." Second Aunt Yang was a little anxious, she had set up the stage before, but now Shu Manyao pulled the topic to the other side, and the money hadn't been put together, so she immediately turned her head to look at Aunt Yang with a smile: "Third brother and sister, you and third brother must not have much silver on hand......
Without waiting for Second Aunt Yang to finish speaking, Third Aunt Yang hurriedly got up tremblingly: "Yes, thank you Second Sister-in-law for your understanding." ”
Second Aunt Yang was choked, and originally suspected that Third Aunt Yang was deliberate, but seeing that Third Aunt Yang was still trembling, she had some contempt and annoyance: "My own concubine, I won't force you, it's just that it is a big deal for a beauty to enter the palace, and now the third uncle has no official position, if the beauty can make a few premonitions to the emperor in the future, maybe the third uncle will fly to the top of the sky, third brother and sister, do you say?" ”
Aunt Yang hurriedly saluted Yang Cuiying: "Please also ask the beauty to say a few words for your third uncle." He turned his head to Xie Yang's second aunt: "Thank you second sister-in-law for thinking about us, my husband and I just don't have any money, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we have to make up some silver money for the beauty." ”
Saying that, he turned his head to look at Uncle Yang San, and Uncle Yang quickly got up: "When we first split the family, my mother gave us a house and three hundred taels of silver, and there are some furniture or something, the beauty must not look down on those furniture, I haven't found an errand these days, the three hundred taels of silver, it cost seven seven or eight to buy some ice cubes, why don't the beauties wait for a few days, I will go back and sell the house, and give the beauty five hundred taels of silver?" ”
Yang Cuiying's face turned blue, if this thing spread, then what kind of person would she become? Just to bring more silver to the palace, he forced the third uncle to sell the house and sell the furniture? Will she still mix in the harem in the future?
Yang Cuiying has been smart since she was a child, how could she not know what the third uncle's life in the house was like on weekdays? The third uncle was originally timid, and after marrying a third aunt, he was a weak Nuo Nuo, and the couple had no ability, except for the monthly case in the house, they had nothing else in their hands. And Yang Cuiying also knows the temperament of her own mother, and seventy or eighty percent of the silver in that month can go to the hands of the third uncle and three aunts, that is, her mother is in a good mood.
Not to mention, the charcoal is deducted in winter and ice cubes are deducted in summer, and the couple is afraid that they are not as good as Yang Jianbai in the house.
At this time, my mother said such things again, if she is forced to be ruthless, the third uncle and three aunts will make this matter bigger, how will she see people in the future? Thinking about it, Yang Cuiying hurriedly spoke: "Third uncle and third aunt, don't say such things, my cousin and cousin are still young, and I haven't said anything about this family matter, you have more places to spend money in the future, and you have a silver in your hand, you have to save it, otherwise how will you live in the future?" You don't have to worry about me, there are monthly cases in the palace, so you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and dressing every month. ”
Second Aunt Yang sighed and looked at Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao: "Her third uncle and third aunt are like this, they love Cuiying very much in their hearts, and they would rather smash the pot and sell iron, and they have to make up some silver for Cuiying, and I look anxious for them." ”
Shu Manyao glanced at Aunt Yang, Aunt Yang happened to be standing in front of her, and Shu Manyao suddenly saw Aunt Yang's hands clenched into fists in the sleeve cage, and the green tendons were exposed on it. I couldn't help but sigh for the stupid Second Aunt Yang, it was really a failure to be a person to this point, Second Aunt Yang had better pray that she didn't fall for a day, or for Uncle Yang to not rise up, otherwise, these two families may not know what will happen.
"The third uncle and three aunts are indeed compassionate." Shu Manyao was very consistent with the admiration, and never mentioned the matter of giving silver, Aunt Yang went around twice, seeing that time was running out, as soon as the auspicious time arrived, someone was about to come to the palace, so she simply didn't hide it, and put it up directly: "Cui Ying entered the palace, she must also say good things for Jianbai, if Jianbai has silver in his hand......"
Yang Jianbai looked up blankly, looking like he hadn't heard what Second Aunt Yang said, Shu Manyao explained to him kindly: "Second Aunt said, if you have silver in your hand, give some to the beauty, as soon as the beauty is happy in her heart, she will say a few good words for you in front of the emperor. ”
Yang Cuiying's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "The second sister-in-law misunderstood, my mother didn't mean this......"
The old lady was smarter than Second Aunt Yang, and instantly heard Shu Manyao's sinister intentions, and her face immediately sank: "Jianbai's family, what are you talking nonsense?" The emperor's thoughts, can we guess? Even if the beauty wants to enter the palace to serve the emperor, is there a place for her to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! ”
Shu Manyao blinked and looked at Second Aunt Yang: "But that's what Second Aunt said just now." ”
Second Aunt Yang also reacted, and there was sweat on her forehead: "I didn't mean that, Manyao, don't talk nonsense, I just said that Cui Ying is going to enter the palace, and there will be fewer opportunities for their brothers and sisters to meet in the future......"
Saying that, there are some words stopped, this harem and the previous dynasty, said that they do not interfere with each other, in fact, they are also closely connected, the mother of the harem is proud, and the family of the mother can also benefit. And Niangniang's family is powerful, and Niangniang can live more comfortably in the harem.
However, no one has ever said these things in the open. As soon as Shu Manyao pulled it away, she just wanted to find other excuses, and she couldn't find it for a while. Now not only is there sweat on my forehead, but even sweat droplets appear on my nose.
The old lady frowned at Shu Manyao and was angry: "If you can't speak, don't speak!" As a woman, when you are a husband and a child in the backyard, this kind of thing, a man can just speak, what do you interject? Do you understand the rules? The girl of your Shu family, is this upbringing? ”
Shu Manyao looked at the old lady with a puzzled expression: "But, it was the second aunt talking to me just now, I can't help but answer, let the second aunt ask and answer by herself, right?" ”
The old lady reached out and took the teacup to smash Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao stretched out her hand very flexibly, and immediately hid behind Yang Jianbai, the teacup smashed on Yang Jianbai's forehead, Yang Jianbai frowned slightly, and only looked at the old lady after blocking Shu Manyao: "Grandmother, what did Manyao say wrong?" What happened just now, even if I took it outside to say it, no one would say that Man Yao said something wrong. ”
said, very disappointed and shook his head: "It seems that my grandmother and second aunt don't like me because they don't like me, and they don't even like Manyao. ”
got up and pulled Shu Manyao, and the two of them planned to leave, anyway, if they didn't have money, if Yang Cuiying really had the ability, she would hurry to the harem to struggle for more than ten years, and then come to find trouble with their husband and wife.
However, at the moment, it seems that this goal is too ambitious, Yang Cuiying can meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty, either as a queen or as a queen mother, without twenty years, I am afraid that this goal will not be achieved.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, don't be angry." Yang Cuiying understood the situation better than Aunt Yang, so she hurriedly got up and stopped Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao, and said with a smile: "Grandmother and mother don't mean this, it's just that the second sister-in-law spoke a little unpolitely just now, so grandmother and mother are unhappy, and the second sister-in-law apologizes to grandmother and mother-in-law, and this matter is over, grandmother and mother-in-law are not scheming people." ”
Shu Manyao didn't speak, Yang Jianbai didn't stop, and was about to leave, but Yang Cuiying stopped in front again: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, just look at my face, this matter is in the past?" ”
Saying that, he hurriedly gave the old lady and Aunt Yang a look, these two people have been making trouble for a long time, Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao don't talk about the silver, they know it, I'm afraid that the silver will not be in hand.
Thinking about it like this, Second Aunt Yang was a little excited, but the old lady understood that if Yang Cuiying wanted to win the emperor's blue eyes in the palace, she would have to win over Yang Jianbai, so she took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger, but she made up her mind that after this time, she would definitely give Shu Manyao some color and let her know what filial piety is.
"Jianbai, come back and sit down!" Although she put away her anger, the old lady was reluctant to deal with Shu Manyao, and only shouted to Yang Jianbai with a stiff face: "The elders haven't left yet, you will leave the table first, this is your filial piety?" ”
Filial piety is greater, the old lady has raised this sentence, and Yang Jianbai has to lead Shu Manyao to sit back again. It's just that after sitting back, she stopped talking, and the old lady was very angry at first, but after saying a few words, seeing that Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao didn't connect, she didn't react at all, so she was annoyed and a little worried.
If there is no such name as Guogong Mansion, what is Yang Cuiying? It's just the daughter of a fifth-grade official, and even the canonization of a sixth-grade beauty looks up to her. Mrs. Yang's heart is biased, but she is not stupid, especially after living for such a long time, she knows everything she should know.
She is still looking forward to Yang Jianbai helping Yang Cuiying, she can't be too bad to Yang Jianbai at this time, it took a lot of effort to suppress her anger, and a little smile appeared on her face: "Your second aunt is just a few jokes from you, don't take it seriously, I know you don't have any money in your hand, didn't you say before that you still owe others 30,000 taels of silver?" So today, you don't need to prepare anything for Cui Ying, as long as you treat Cui Ying as your own sister in the future, when she needs your help with something, you can help with some. ”
Yang Jianbai nodded indifferently: "Grandmother is serious, the beauty is originally my cousin, and there is a lobby brother above to take care of it, in the future, maybe I won't be able to help with anything." ”
Mrs. Yang was in a hurry, and wanted to say something, but she saw the little maid hurriedly come in: "There is a father-in-law outside the door, and a few guards carry a sedan chair, saying that they are taking beauties into the palace." ”
