Chapter 205: Spreading the Rumors
Sister Hu Chun changed to the carriage of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, accompanied by Jian Qiu, and went to the East Palace.
After the letter was delivered, it was very fast, and Sister Hu Chun invited her in.
The concubine attached great importance to this letter of worship and personally met Sister Hu Chun in the Baoxia Hall.
Sister Hu Chun bowed to the princess in a proper manner, and the concubine stepped forward and stroked her, smiling meaningfully: "Sooner or later, it will be a family, there is no need to be so polite." ”
Seeing that Sister Hu Chun was calm and calm even in front of the emperor, two blush appeared on her face, and the princess smiled lightly: "When this palace received this letter of worship, I was still thinking that such a regular thing as handing over a letter of worship does not seem to be something that Xiao Thirteen can do; It's just that when I saw that it was Mrs. Hu, I was relieved. ”
Sister Hu Chun blushed, and said naturally and generously: "Don't make fun of the concubine and the concubine." ”
The princess looked at Sister Hu Chun with a smile: "The palace knows that you are a very measured person, and today I took the letter of 11 to the East Palace, but it is inconvenient to take the letter of the Qishan County Mansion?"
Sister Hu Chun didn't hide it, and the generous concubine admitted frankly: "Although the Qishan County Mansion cannot be said to be stormy now, due to some things, if the concubine feels that if she takes the letter from the Qishan County Mansion this time, she is afraid that she will fall into the eyes of interested people and add a tongue." ”
This sentence of "interested person" asked the concubine to look at Sister Hu Chun more softly.
Sister Hu Chun continued: "...... Because the concubine came back to the East Palace to discuss the matter with the princess's mother, I hope that the princess's mother and mother can keep it secret for the courtiers, and don't say to outsiders that it is the concubine's idea. ”
It sounds like she wants to have a bad idea but she doesn't want to be responsible, but the concubine has gotten along with Sister Hu Chun, and she knows that Sister Hu Chun, a lady who looks soft and weak, is actually a tough lady, and she intuitively feels that Sister Hu Chun, a lady, can't do such a thing.
Therefore, when the concubine heard Sister Hu Chun's words, she didn't get angry, and she didn't respond, but smiled softly: "You can talk about it, this palace will listen to it." ”
Sister Hu Chun nodded, her expression a little solemn: "I don't know if my mother and mother have heard some rumors about this wind and snow in recent days?"
As soon as these words came out, the princess's expression changed.
How can you not hear of it?
Don't talk about anything else, someone in the East Palace has quietly talked about these things.
The wind and snow started from the birthday banquet of the princess, indicating that someone had offended the heavenly grandfather by losing his morality, so the heavens sent such a disaster to warn the world......
In the middle of these words, it was clear that the concubine was immoral and incompetent, and she was not worthy of being the housewife of the East Palace.
Further, the crown prince's concubine is immoral and incompetent, is it inconvenient to metaphorically say that the crown prince is immoral and incompetent?
Therefore, when someone dared to whisper these words in the East Palace, the princess, who had always been good-natured, changed her complexion and arrested the people involved in those rumors in the East Palace, beat them, killed them, and dealt with them vigorously, and finally made the rumors disappear in the East Palace.
However, the concubine took care of the mouths of the people in the East Palace, but she couldn't control the mouths of the flat-headed people outside.
The concubine's expression was a little unsightly.
However, this is not good-looking, and it is not for Sister Hu Chun. Since she knew Xuanyuan Yanchu's sincerity to Sister Hu Chun, she naturally would not exclude Sister Hu Chun from their circle.
The princess didn't say kind words to Sister Hu Chun on the scene, she sighed bluntly: "How can you not hear it?"
Sister Hu Chun said: "Actually, the concubine has always had a confusion in her heart. The incident suffered by the mother and mother is the same as some criticism suffered by the Qishan County Mansion recently. ”
The princess's expression froze slightly.
In fact, in the past few days, the princess has listened to a lot of rumors about the Qishan County Mansion.
It's just that she herself is a victim of rumors, so when she confirms it with her own eyes, she doesn't believe the rumors of the Qishan County Mansion.
Sister Hu Chun continued: "There have always been rumors of such things, and the more blocked, the more ordinary people will feel that they have spied on the so-called 'truth', and the more convinced they will become...... Therefore, if you want to defeat the rumors, the concubine has a small idea. ”
The princess leaned forward slightly, looking very interested.
Sister Hu Chun said with a smile: "I heard that in the past few days, the emperor will immediately issue an order for disaster relief. ”
The princess nodded: "This matter is known to the palace, that is, tomorrow." ”
Sister Hu Chun said: "This time for disaster relief, it is expected that my mother's mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince will also open their own private treasury and give a lot of money?"
It's natural.
As the prince of a country, the prince naturally has to set an example for such a major national event as disaster relief.
Concubine Chu also didn't go around in circles with Sister Hu Chun, she nodded, and even made a joke: "If the money is less, people outside may have some rumors." ”
Sister Hu Chun smiled lightly: "The concubine came today for this disaster relief." The concubine thinks, if the mother and mother want to use the disaster relief to defeat those ill-intentioned rumors, they might as well pay their own money for disaster relief and change it to a certain model. ”
"Oh?" the princess winked with interest, "What do you mean by that?"
Sister Hu Chun held her palms and smiled: "I don't know if the concubine's mother has heard of the 'charity auction'?"
Charity auctions?
It's a new word.
The princess looked at Sister Hu Chun with great interest: "I haven't heard of it in this palace." ”
Sister Hu Chun smiled: "Please listen to the concubines one by one." ”
On this day, a new thing suddenly appeared in the imperial capital.
It is said that the concubine of the East Palace is grateful to the emperor for the disaster of the Pingtou people, sad that the affected Pingtou people are displaced, and is determined to use their own meager strength to offer a little love to the affected Pingtou people, Tete set up a charity auction in the Jade Garden, and invited many women who have heads and faces in the court to participate.
The people in the imperial capital still heard the word "charity auction" for the first time, and some people wanted to ask, what is this charity auction?
People who know the meaning of charity auction have a very bright face, full of reserve, as if they understand the meaning of the word charity auction, which is a very knowledgeable and hierarchical thing.
"Don't you understand this? The so-called charity, you all understand? Charity auction, that is, our princess and concubine, with compassion, took out some of their own jewelry and treasured cultural toys, and came to ask someone to auction, the highest price, and then the auction money was donated in the name of that person to the people who were affected by the disaster. ”
"Yes, I heard that the Holy Lord has opened his own private treasury to fill the silver money for disaster relief, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princess are deeply moved, and they donate their own treasures in addition to a part of the silver themselves...... Today's emperor's family is really not a real dragon bloodline, and they care about the people of Pingtou. ”
"Eh, the concubine's mother is a living Bodhisattva. It is also our emperor who has such a blessing and such a daughter-in-law......"
"That's it, at first, there was still a villain who said that the concubine's mother was a disaster...... Where is there such a disaster star for the country and the people, the princess and the mother of the family really took out the money to do good things for the ordinary people. In the future, if anyone talks about the concubine's mother and mother is a disaster star, I will definitely listen to him!"
"That's right, it's really miserable this year. All the seedlings in the middle of the ground are frozen to death, and there will be no harvest in the spring of the next year...... Now the price of food has increased more than tenfold compared to previous years, and I see, it is rising again. The matter of the concubine's mother's mother's mother's kiss is really immeasurable......"
......
The charity auction has not yet been held, and the imperial capital has already created a wave of momentum.
On the day of the banquet in the Emerald Garden, although it was snowing heavily, many ordinary people in the city spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road to the Emerald Garden, and whispered while putting their hands in their jackets:
"See, that's the chariot of the Chung County Mansion......"
"That's the carriage of the Rite Servant's house......"
"That's the car ...... Uncle Xiaoshan's family"
Some of the female dependents of these families were shocked by the scene outside the window when they lifted the curtain to look out of the window.
This kind of thing of ordinary people crowding around the road, some people are still seeing it for the first time.
This time, except for the second wife An who had to take care of Yan Binle, who was sick again, the other wives were all absent, and they all led their children and chose to go to the banquet.
You must know that the people next to the banquet this time are not clear, but because of the presence of Sister Hu Chun in their Qishan County Mansion, it is very clear.
In Sister Hu Chun's words, that is, he has done a good thing without being eye-catching, and he has really brushed up his prestige without being eye-catching.
Even Wu Simi, who was pregnant in the third room, also came by car.
It's just that Sister Hu Xia and Hu Bincheng didn't come.
All the two of them were thinking about was giving food and clothing.
Sister Hu Chun didn't reluctantly let them go, and after telling them to be careful, Qiu Xia accompanied them.
On the road from the imperial capital to the Emerald Garden, almost every once in a while, there were cars from high-ranking families driving slowly.
The Jade Garden is different from the day of the concubine's banquet, although the makeup is not magnificent, but it is also due to the ingenious arrangement, it has a certain sense of majestic atmosphere.
The biggest difference is that in the Jade Garden, the large hugging hall that can accommodate dozens of tables has renovated the doors and windows and built a small high platform.
The ladies who came in all smacked their tongues.
Because this is really too different from the decoration of the last birthday party.
Not much else, even the flowers placed in the corners of the hall are all different.
Last time, there were some festive spider plants, kumquat potted plants, all kinds of seasonal flowers, etc., this time, most of the visitors were some of the most solemn potted pines and cypresses, holly, etc., which had the meaning of evergreen prayers.
Some nimble ladies looked at this completely different arrangement, and some ideas had some ideas in their hearts.
In fact, even they are still a little confused about this charity auction, and they can't figure out what it's all about.
However, these women who have been immersed in the backyard for a long time have one thing that is clear:
That is, you must bring enough money.
Therefore, the ladies present carried 10,000 taels of silver in their arms.
This time, Mrs. Mu San, who has three rooms, led these juniors over.
Although the Qishan County Mansion has been criticized in recent days, due to the settlement of the Meng case, the reputation of the Qishan County Mansion has also been restored to a certain extent.
Therefore, there are still many female relatives who are good friends on weekdays come to say hello.
Mrs. Hou of Tokyo looked at the seat of the Qishan County Mansion in the corner and pouted.
It was really good luck that they were allowed to escape.
It's just that......
Mrs. Hou in Tokyo remembered that she had heard rumors that Sister Hu Chun had eloped a few days ago, and she felt more and more panicked.
As the old saying goes, hired as a wife and a concubine, the dignified eldest lady of the Qishan County Mansion actually chose to elope with someone, and gave birth to an illegitimate child, smacking...... It's really a shame that she didn't give the unknown background of Sister Hu Chun to their eldest son as a concubine, otherwise, she really wronged their eldest son!
Mrs. Hou of Tokyo looked at the people of the Qishan County Mansion, and became more and more unpleasant.
It's just that, due to the decline of the Tokyo Bofu, at this banquet, even if Mrs. Hou in Tokyo is a Mrs. Hou, she can't sit with a few wives of Sanpin officials who are in full momentum in the court, and she doesn't want to mention how aggrieved she is.
Because of this, Mrs. Hou in Tokyo did not want to talk to the wives on the left and right.
was already gloomy, and still spoke to different people, and Mrs. Hou in Tokyo became more and more unsociable.
It was only a moment, but Mrs. Hou of Tokyo didn't think that a sweet and lovely little lady was holding the arm of another little lady, but came over to greet her.
"You're Mrs. Hou of Tokyo, right?"
As soon as Mrs. Hou raised her head, she looked at Nara Zhezhe.
She had also seen this Nara Zhezhe a few times, and knew that it was a noble daughter of the Hu people who was hostage in the imperial capital.
is just a noble girl who is a Hu person, and Mrs. Hou of Tokyo looks down on this kind of person in the past. It's just that no one is talking to her now, and she can't wipe it off her cheeks, seeing that this Nala Zhezhe took the initiative to talk to her, she is still a little satisfied with this Nala Zhezhe's acquaintance: Is it Miss Nala?
Mrs. Hou replied without any sincerity.
Who knew that there was a flattered expression on Nalazhezhe's face: Mrs. still remembered me...
Mrs. Hou's vanity in Tokyo was satisfied, and she nodded reservedly, but did not hesitate to praise her again: Miss Nala was born so beautiful, naturally she will never forget it.
Nala Zhezhe smiled like a flower on her small face, and she pushed the female companion on the side, and pushed the female companion in front of Mrs. Hou in Tokyo.
"Introduce Mrs. Hou, this is my friend, surnamed Qi, his girlfriend name is Chaoyun, and his father is an official in the Hanlin Academy. Nara Zhezhe introduced with a grin.
Qi Chaoyun blushed slightly, but he saluted Mrs. Hou in Tokyo.
Since the banquet of the princess and concubine's mother, the friendship between Nala Zhezhe and Qi Chaoyun has grown day by day.
Nala Zhezhe always likes to take Qi Chaoyun with him wherever he goes, and often introduces Qi Chaoyun to the noble women she knows, which makes Qi Chaoyun extremely moved, so he treats Nala Zhezhe more and more obediently.
Mrs. Hou of Tokyo didn't have any impression of Qi Chaoyun, she glanced at it in confusion, but suddenly realized that although the little lady in front of her face was not born of the top type, she was better than a faint little jasper.
Mrs. Hou suddenly had a thought in her heart.
Her attitude towards Qi Chaoyun became enthusiastic in vain.
"Yo, look at this little lady, it's really good. Mrs. Hou of Tokyo praised with a narrow smile.
Qi Chaoyun hung his head shyly and timidly.
But there was some excitement in my heart.
Before Nara Zhezhe brought her over to greet Mrs. Hou in Tokyo, Nara Zhezhe had quietly befriended her, saying that this good-looking lady who was looking for life in the imperial capital of Tokyo gave Mrs. Hou of Tokyo as his wife.
Qi Chaoyun still had some ears that couldn't believe her own ears at that time, and she looked at Nala Zhezhe hesitantly: "I...... I can't compare to the nobles in the imperial capital, right?"
Nala Zhezhe hugged Qi Chaoyun's shoulders affectionately: "Qing'er, why are you so arrogant, you Central Plains people are not confident in yourself and like to be humble." Don't you know, you are such a quiet and quiet young lady, many noble ladies in the inner house all like you...... Besides, in my eyes, Qing'er, you are no worse than Sister Hu Chun......"
As soon as Sister Hu Chun was mentioned, Qi Chaoyun's face became a little ugly for a moment.
She smiled reluctantly: "How can I compare to that Sister Hu Chun......"
Nala Zhezhe frowned in disapproval: "Qing'er, I won't be happy if you say this." That Sister Hu Chun's clever words have always been unforgiving, where is it better than being so gentle and polite. Nara Zhezhe paused for a moment, and then said softly, "I've heard that the Qishan County Mansion seems to be interested in marrying the Tokyo Bofu...... But because the rumors of the Qishan County Mansion in the back became more and more unbearable, Mrs. Hou of Tokyo did not agree. Do you think, if you make Mrs. Hou of Tokyo take a fancy to you at that time, it will be inconvenient to show that you are better than Sister Hu Chun?"
These words undoubtedly pierced Qi Chaoyun's heart.
These days, the rumors of the Qishan County Mansion are flying all over the emperor, no, don't talk about it, Qi Chaoyun is very cool to hear, and sometimes follow the servants in the mansion to scold a few words, and feel relieved.
But she didn't want to follow the maid in the house to scold the girl, so what happened?
Looking at the appearance of Mrs. Hou and Qi Chaoyun talking happily with each other, Nara Zhezhe stood aside with a smile, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
She doesn't love Sister Hu Chun.
But everything that can be done to Sister Hu Chun, she finds it very interesting.
Separated by many tables and people, Nala Zhezhe glanced at the table on Sister Hu Chun's side from a distance, but he could only see a slender and curling figure.
After the table was almost full, the charity auction initiated by the concubine began.
Since it was many wives who came to cheer with their families, the princess naturally wanted to come up and talk about the scene first.
She first sighed at the wisdom and martial arts of today's saints, sympathized with the ordinary people, and then reflected on her own shortcomings as the housewife of the East Palace, hating herself for not being able to contribute more to the affected ordinary people.
The princess is dressed up very gracefully and elegantly today, she looked at the many ladies under the stage with kindness, and smiled kindly: "Since we are in the name of 'charity' today, it is natural to dedicate our own strength to the common people in the world." In the end, the ladies in our backyard can't just be limited to the one acre and three points of land in their own backyard, since they are in a high position, they naturally have to be sympathetic...... "The princess's expression became a little painful, "Now the wind and snow have been raging for many days, and there are countless flat-headed people's houses in Daxing to blow down, and they can't eat enough food and clothing. We don't say much else, the objects taken out of the Sakura National Palace today are all treasures from the palace's collection of years, some are accompanied by the palace, and some are the birthday gifts sent by His Royal Highness to the palace. After today's auction, the money you use to auction will be donated to the people affected by the disaster. At that time, the palace will also post a list on the city wall, so that the people of Pingtou will know that it is a good thing for you to do. ”
After the princess finished speaking, after a while, some of the female dependents showed excitement, some fell into contemplation, and some frowned without a trace, but no matter what they said, everyone on the bright side was all praising the princess's benevolence and compassion.
After a lot of hype, whether sincere or fake, today's auction begins.
Since this is the first time that the female dependents of the high-ranking families in the imperial capital have encountered this kind of thing, it seems that all of them have some bad senses.
When it came up for auction, it was all small objects such as hairpins and armbands, but they were all unexpectedly sold at high prices.
These high-priced people, without exception, are all small families, but there are people with half of the family wealth.
The princess didn't get up in the first seat again, and persuaded politely: "The money you have photographed is far higher than the value of these small objects themselves......
However, the wives of those small families felt that their faces were very bright, and they all said, "The princess is close to her mother, this is also our little heart for the people affected by the disaster, not limited to the value of objects." ”
Since all the words were mentioned here, the princess also sat down.
In the middle of the day, some cultural relics and treasures gradually began, which seemed to be the calligraphy and painting left by a calligrapher in the previous dynasty, and the palm of a certain holy master, etc., but it set off a small *.
This time, not only the daughters of some small families, but also many top gate valves began to bargain.
These noble ladies sat there gracefully, but the price was ruthless and accurate.
They had watched it several times, and they had a rough idea of the auction in their hearts.
This is a good thing to give the family prestige.
First, actively responding to the charity auction held by the concubine's mother-in-law is a face to sell the East Palace. Second, at that time, the concubine's mother and mother will also announce the list of those who donate money, think about it, how famous is this!
Grandma Kuang's heart has some itching.
It is really a remnant of an ancient soldier book of the previous dynasty that is being auctioned above, and the ancient soldier book is something that the second young master has read a few times, and he has never had a chance to see it. Second Grandma Kuang also wanted to find this ancient soldier book as a birthday gift for Second Young Master Yan, but who knew that it had been wasted a lot of effort and spent a lot of manpower, but there was no trace of this book. Who knew that this book was actually in the East Palace, and it was taken out and auctioned off as an auction item.
Second Grandma Kuang was about to move, and her heart was itching, and she wanted to take a picture of this ancient soldier book for Second Young Master Yan.
Especially the second young master Yan was a lot haggard for Miao Miao's affairs a few days ago, and Second Grandma Kuang wanted to treat Lang Jun even more in her heart.
Grandma Kuang couldn't help but glance at Yan Rongnu, the girl who was sitting honestly on the side.
Since the incident of the prince of Ruyang, Yan Rongnu has always seemed to have changed, her temperament has been much quieter, and she has become a little more sophisticated. If it was put aside, Grandma Kuang Er didn't know how happy her daughter was to change her sex, but now, this kind of situation that has changed her daughter's temperament after external stimulation is to make Grandma Kuang Er feel very heartbroken for her daughter.
There are also some reasons why she filmed this ancient soldier book is for her daughter.
Because of the incident that Yan Rongnu made up, the second young master Yan didn't give Yan Rongnu a good look for a few days.
Second Grandma Kuang wants her daughter to take this book, and then she will coax the second young master.
However, Grandma Kuang couldn't help but think of the words that Sister Hu Chun told them before leaving, saying that the small objects in front were all testing the waters, and the back was the main thing.
Second Grandma Kuang glanced at Sister Hu Chun hesitantly.
Sister Hu Chun seemed to feel something, and nodded lightly at Grandma Kuang.
Grandma Kuang's pair of wonderful eyes diffused with a look of surprise.
As soon as the mother-in-law who introduced the origin of the ancient soldier book fell, and the maidservant girl on one side began to preside over the bidding, Grandma Kuang immediately quoted 500 taels.
This price has attracted some people's attention.
You must know that an ancient soldier's book is just a fragment, and the 500 taels are considered a high price.
And this is the first time that the Qishan County Mansion has bid in this auction.
Mrs. Mu San is the mother-in-law of Kuang's second grandmother, so naturally Mingle's daughter-in-law took this military book for her son to see, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
As a mother-in-law, she naturally hopes that her daughter-in-law will always keep her son in her heart.
Grandma Kuang Er called 500 taels in an instant, and originally planned to scare away all the other price increases, which was also a little bit of what she realized after observing the auction for a long time.
It's just that she did a lot of calculations, but she didn't expect that there was still someone behind her who quoted a price.
"1000 taels. ”
When Grandma Kuang heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She glanced at the sound without a trace, and found that there was a girl sitting on the table with an alien style.
Kuang's second grandmother is also from the imperial capital, so she naturally knows that this girl is urinating for the noble daughter of the Hu people, Nala Zhezhe, who sent Daxing.
Mrs. Hou of Tokyo smiled, as if she had turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, and chatted with Mrs. Nalazhezhe: "I didn't expect Miss Nala to be interested in the book of war." ”
Nala Zhezhe smiled and said: "I lived in Daxing when I was a child, and I am quite curious about Daxing's art of war. She didn't shy away from meeting the gaze of Grandma Kuang, her eyebrows were like the moon, and she smiled, "Grandma Kuang, I'm guilty." ”
The smile on Grandma Kuang's face faded.
"One thousand five hundred taels. ”
Grandma Kuang Er raised the price with a faint expression.
Although they are only three rooms, they also have a lot of their own assets, Kuang's second grandmother has a pungent temperament, and she is also a good hand at cooking assets, and there is naturally a lot of surplus money on her hands and heads.
If you have a rich waist, your son will be hard.
Nala Zhezhe's smile remained unchanged, and Sakuraguchi opened slightly: "Two thousand taels." ”
This time, everyone had some side eyes.
You must know that many of you here are all in the circle of high-ranking families in the imperial capital, and those who come and go as guests on weekdays do not look up and don't see each other, and they will all leave one or two points of affection for each other when bidding.
It's not an enemy, and there's no need to raise the price layer by layer.
However, this Hu noblewoman Nala Zhezhe did just that.
These noble ladies inevitably want to mumble a few words in their hearts, they are really people from a wild place, even though they have lived in the imperial capital for a long time, they still don't understand their great human feelings.
However, no one said much, just looked back and forth at Grandma Kuang and Nala Zhezhe with a good look.
Mrs. Mu San was also a little annoyed.
This Nara Zhezhe is clearly against his own family.
Mrs. Mu San looked down from the table without a trace, grabbed the palm of Grandma Kuang's second grandmother, and handed over a silver bill from the sleeve.
Grandma Kuang's eyes shone brightly.
Although she didn't know what the denomination of the silver money handed over by her mother-in-law was, what she knew was that her mother-in-law was expressing her attitude and asking her to ask for a price with peace of mind.
Let's talk about it again, for the sake of insurance, Grandma Kuang Er carries a lot of silver money in her arms today, and she is not afraid of Nala Zhezhe at all.
"Three thousand taels. ”
Grandma Kuang's voice was faint.
Everyone was in an uproar!
The concubine has some connections with the Qishan County Mansion, and she couldn't help frowning lightly when she saw this.
knew that Grandma Kuang liked this book so much, so she didn't take it out for auction, and just forwarded it to her.
There was a hint of surprise on Nala Zhezhe's face, but there was a smile in his graceful eyes: "I don't know, it turns out that Grandma Kuang Er is so imperative for this ancient soldier book...... It's a pity......"
Nara Zhezhe shook his head slightly, "I really want to see this ancient soldier book." ”
She smiled and called another price: "5,000 taels." ”
As soon as this price came out, everything on the field was quiet.
It's not that you can't come up with 5,000 taels of silver, but in fact, this is the highest price that will appear in this auction.
No matter how much the price was raised, it would eventually be no more than four thousand taels of silver.
Although 5,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount, most of the people present are all high-ranking families, and there is money in their arms.
You can take 5,000 taels to buy an ancient soldier book, or a fragment, I believe that all the people present are not happy.
Grandma Kuang's second grandmother didn't raise her eyelids: "Eight thousand taels." ”
Straight up three thousand taels!
It can be regarded as a small repayment, and the revenge of Nala Zhezhe raised two thousand taels in an instant.
As soon as the high price of 8,000 taels came out, all the noisy fields were quiet.
Many families are gloomy and frightened, and they are all thinking, it is just an ancient soldier book, and the female dependents of the Qishan County Mansion can do this, but the background of the Qishan County Mansion is extraordinary.
Even Nala Zhezhe was surprised by the unblinking momentum of Grandma Kuang.
She looked at the seat of the Qishan County Mansion without moving, but saw that the ladies of the Qishan County Mansion did not seem to have any excessive reaction to the price.
As the mother-in-law of Kuang's second grandmother, Mrs. Mu San didn't say half a "no" to her daughter-in-law's behavior, and when she looked closely, there was still a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
looked at Sister Hu Chun, who was the most unhappy with Nala Zhezhe, Sister Hu Chun was calm and calm, as if she was not surprised by the offer of "eight thousand taels".
Oh, why pretend to be calm, who here doesn't know that you are from a lowly background! It seems that you have entered the Qishan County Mansion, and you don't even have eight thousand taels in your eyes!
Nara Zhezhe said disdainfully in his heart.
She twitched the corner of her lower lip slightly, and glanced at the concubine on the side without a trace.
"10,000 taels!"
Nala Zhezhe didn't compete with Grandma Kuang Er in terms of price increase, but he also called for 10,000 taels.
These 10,000 taels came out, and it can be said that the audience was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.
Nala Zhezhe looked at the slight astonishment on Grandma Kuang's face, and felt a burst of happiness in his heart.
She knew that Grandma Kuang would increase the price again.
In the end, this is not a simple auction.
This is to make face for the concubine! To make face for the concubine, isn't it inconvenient to make face for the crown prince?
The corners of Nala Zhezhe's lips hung on the same sweet smile as always, and his voice was crisp and hearty: "It stands to reason that Grandma Kuang likes this ancient soldier book so much, I shouldn't have competed with Grandma Kuang like this." But Grandma Kuang Er really can't help it, I like to collect these ...... when I pee It's really a crime. ”
As he spoke, he watched Grandma Kuang's expression carefully.
She knew that Grandma Kuang would increase the price.
In the end, the Qishan County Mansion started as a soldier, and his dedication to the military book is even greater than anyone else's.
Besides, at this point, it is no longer just a battle in the military book, but this matter is also linked to the dignity of the Qishan County Mansion.
Nala Zhezhe vaguely had some expectations in his heart, waiting for Grandma Kuang's second grandmother to make another offer.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Kuang's slightly frowned eyebrows suddenly flattened, and even showed a smile, and shook her head with a regretful expression: "I didn't know, it turns out that Miss Nala likes this military book so much." We have an old saying, 'A gentleman does not take the favor of others'. Since Miss Nala likes this book so much that she does not hesitate to buy it for 10,000 taels of silver, then I naturally have the beauty of an adult. ”
After speaking, Grandma Kuang nodded lightly to the concubine in front of her.
The smile on the corner of the princess's lips could hardly be hidden.
For a moment, there was silence on the field.
It didn't take long for someone to reflect, either sincerely or pretending to congratulate Nala Zhezhe on his favorite.
"I didn't expect Nala to love this military book so much, and when I mentioned it, I also have a lost fragment of a military book there......"
The more clever ones have already started to sell to Nala Zhezhe under the pretext of congratulations.
The smile on Nalazhe's face was about to burst.
She looked at Grandma Kuang Er, her eyes wanting to breathe fire.
This woman, why don't you increase the price!
Wasn't the momentum very fierce at first, but she only raised two thousand taels, and she added another three thousand taels to come back!
10,000 taels of silver!
Nalazhe's heart was dying of pain.
She can't afford the 10,000 taels, and she can still take out the 10,000 taels after exhausting all the cash in the house. Even if she is uninhibited by these foreign things, she still wants to see what she buys for 10,000 taels of silver!
Buy a broken book......
Nalazhe was almost vomiting blood.
Here, Sister Hu Chun also looked at Grandma Kuang Er with some surprise.
She felt that with Kuang's second grandmother's temperament, she still had to add the price again.
Originally, Sister Hu Chun planned to plan that if Grandma Kuang's second grandmother was not enough, she would take it on her behalf.
Sister Hu Chun is not without money.
She touched her sleeve pocket, and in addition to the few silver bills she put in, Xuanyuan Yanchu also stuffed a lot of them for her.
Sister Hu Chun couldn't help but think of Yu Qi secretly giving herself silver money when she went out in the morning, she didn't accept it, Yu Qi made a bitter face: "Mrs. Hu is good, pity and pity these silver money, our master said, if you don't accept it, you want me to tear it up." ”
Only then did Sister Hu Chun accept all the stacks of silver bills speechlessly.
She has the confidence to accept these silver bills because she knows that she has the confidence to create more wealth for Xuanyuan Yanchu than these silver bills.
......
It's just that what Sister Hu Chun didn't expect was that Grandma Kuang, who has always had a hot temper, could stop in time in the face of Nala Zhezhe's almost provocative price hike.
Second Grandma Kuang seemed to have been touched by Sister Hu Chun's gaze, and she said softly with some embarrassment: "When you go out, Sister Chun, didn't you tell us what malicious price hikes are." I'm not stupid, so it's clear that Nalazhe wants me to bleed profusely so that I won't be fooled. ”
During the speech, Grandma Kuang Er still had a sense of distraction.
In the past few days, due to Yan Rongnu's affairs, Grandma Kuang Er has not shown her face like this for a long time.
Mrs. Mu San listened to Grandma Kuang's words and nodded her head without a trace.
......
As soon as the "Book of Ancient Soldiers" of 10,000 taels of silver came out, none of the subsequent auctions were as crazy as this.
First, everyone is a big family with a head and a face in the imperial capital, and there are many intertwined relationships on weekdays, so there is no need to tear your face because of some money;
Therefore, the auction behind was unusually harmonious, and the top families in the imperial capital all almost auctioned one or two lots.
In the end, the Qishan County Mansion spent 60,000 taels of silver to shoot the ancient sword, which is known as the ancient sword.
It is rumored that this sword kills a lot of people, has its own evil spirit, and is not close to all evils, especially suitable for families like them.
In the end, it was almost a happy ending.
Except for Nalazhezhe.
Since after the auction is over, it is the person in charge who goes to the account room of the concubine's mother and mother to receive the things they auctioned, and they will either pay it off on the spot, or send someone to send the money later.
Nara Zhezhe did not go to get the soldier's book for a long time.
Qi Chaoyun was all a little apprehensive, and pulled down the sleeves of Nala Zhezhe.
It was only then that Nara Zhezhe came to his senses.
The princess had already sent an aunt over, and she stood in front of Nala Zhezhe with a smile on her face, holding a brocade box in her palm.
"The princess was afraid that Nala would forget about it, so she specially ordered the slave to send it to Nala Niang. ”
This is no different from slapping the mouth.
Such a big event, except for those who don't want to receive, who will forget?—— Nala Zhezhe really doesn't want to receive.
The look on Nalazhe's face almost cracked.
She took a deep breath.
My aunt didn't ask when Nala Zhezhe would hand over the money, because she knew that in the whole world, about no one dared to owe the East Palace money, this thing was sent to you, and the money was not sent over?
It's okay, the East Palace is not short of your 10,000 taels of silver. At that time, you, don't want to be in the upper circle of the imperial capital anymore.
I can't afford to lose that person!
Therefore, although my aunt didn't mention it, Nara Zhezhe still stiffened her face and smiled: "Auntie, forgive me, because I don't have enough silver money on my body, I am about to send my slave back to the house to get the money." ”
The aunt's smile was very meaningful: "It's okay, when it's convenient for the lady to pull it, just send the money over." The minion still has something to do, so he retired first. ”
After speaking, he saluted in a proper manner, and turned his head and left.
Nara Zhezhe almost crushed the thin brocade box.
......
The charity auction held by the princess's mother became famous in the imperial capital in an instant.
As a result of this auction, the concubine's mother raised 4.13 million taels of silver for the victims, and finally the concubine's mother took out 70,000 taels from her own private house, made up a whole amount of 500,000 taels, and handed it over to the household department.
Not only did the flat-headed people praise each other, but even the emperor was shocked.
It is rumored that the emperor praised this matter very much, praised the concubine's mother and mother, and even told the crown prince, "It is your blessing to have a woman like this."
When the happy crown prince returned to the East Palace, his steps were all floating.
The East Palace swept up and down the low depression that first plagued the rumors.
Some people were happy and happy, and some people over there gritted their teeth and resented.
The charity auction of the concubine's mother reached its peak after the silver money donated by various governments was posted on the list.
At this time, the county lord of Hejing, who had always been confined to the head of the house, couldn't sit still.
She specially begged Princess Changshan, and Princess Changshan begged the emperor by decree, which was also an opportunity for their house to hold such a charity auction.
First, it is to contribute his own strength to the ordinary people, and secondly, it is also because the county lord of Hejing is extremely remorseful for the mistakes he has made, and wants an opportunity to make up for it.
In order not to skip the banquet held by the princess's mother, the charity auction proposed by Princess Changshan changed the model.
Lots are provided by attendees, and half of the money raised will be counted as donations from the providers.
The emperor still had some hesitation, but Princess Changshan cried in front of the palace with tears in her eyes, and the emperor couldn't help but think of the hard work that the king of Changshan had made on the battlefield.
In this way, it is also counted as a signal to the people below:
The palace of Changshan County has not fallen out of favor before the emperor.
Many people who missed the charity auction of the princess's mother and mother even fought to grab the invitation to the palace of Changshan County.
Xuanyuan Yanchu glanced at the invitation sent to the house, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't even give half an explanation, so he went straight to the book hall to deal with the matter.
Jian Qiu had some understanding from Xuanyuan Yanchu's attitude, and instructed him: "Let's put it away first." ”
As one of the most wealthy families in the imperial capital, the Qishan County Mansion did not dare to go straight down to the face of the Qishan County Mansion in the imperial capital, and naturally received an invitation.
At this moment, the invitation was in the palm of the hand of the obedient lord.
Although Lord Shun Gong Weng has some despised the style of Changshan County Wangfu at the beginning, this invitation cannot be treated carelessly.
After all, this invitation is in the name of praying for blessings.
In case something goes out in the first year, saying that the Changshan County Mansion abandoned its previous suspicions and sent a message to the Qishan County Mansion, but the Qishan County Mansion was not happy to participate in the charity auction so it did not go...... Such rumors, Shun Gong Weng Lord will have a big head when he thinks about it.
Since the Qishan County Mansion has been plagued by rumors these days, Lord Shun Gong naturally knows the power of these rumors.
Because of this layer of jealousy, the obedient lord is also a little distressed, who will be better for the charity auction this time.
Sister Hu Chun was not happy to go before, but now that the New Year is approaching, they have begun to quietly give clothes and food in some poor streets and alleys, and they are all very busy every day.
At first, they were not in the imperial capital, but chose the surrounding areas, firstly, because the small villages in the suburbs and countryside around them were all in urgent need of food and clothing to survive, and secondly, before the Ming decree was made at the top, if they were high-profile in the imperial capital, it would be a challenge to the upper-class rulers;
"I don't have a lot to do with that and quiet. Sister Hu Chun gently frowned on the bridge of her delicate nose, and she was not an outsider, and she didn't tell her the polite words on the scene, "I already hate each other, and I don't know what she invited me to do with her special name?"
Lord Shun Gong knew that the county lord of Hejing was arrogant, and he repeatedly looked for their stubble of Sister Chun, and Sister Chun's good heart was all annoyed...... Besides, she doesn't believe that the county lord of Hejing can "change the evil and return to the right" in this not a long life when the emperor is grounded, and now that Tete invited Sister Chun to come over, it must be nothing good.
Naturally, these words cannot be said directly. Lord Shun Gong Weng was relieved: "...... I'm not happy to go. At that time, I want your second cousin-in-law to help you bring a message to the past, and I will say that you are occasionally caught with a cold. ”
Sister Hu Chun pursed her lips and shook her head: "Forget it, sister-in-law, isn't it convenient to be a banquet, I'll just go over then." ”
Since Sister Hu Chun has made up her mind, Shun Gong Weng is not planning to say anything more, she glanced at Sister Hu Chun, and was somewhat relieved to her, so she changed the topic and mentioned other things to her:
"After the incident happened to Miao Miao, I am not afraid of your jokes, I am only afraid that Fen Fen will also be deceived like that. A young lady of their age, just when their love was at the beginning, if they met someone who deliberately abducted them, we couldn't prevent them all. Lord Shun Gong Weng paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, "These are still later words, do you know Miao Miao's matter, how your second cousin handled it?"
Although Sister Hu Chun had already heard of it, she still looked at Lord Shungong with great interest.
Lord Shun Gong Weng covered his mouth and smiled: "Your second cousin has taken out all the pickled things that the prince of Ruyang has done in private, what kind of drama is raised, what is the opening of a casino, and all the cigarettes are poked out...... The stab is still very beautiful, and there is no shadow of our Qishan County Mansion for half a minute, and no one can tell that our Qishan County Mansion is not here at all. There are still some unhealthy movements in recent years, and in recent days, he has been trying his best to win an official position in the ministry for his faction, and a few of your cousins have secretly exerted their efforts to detain that official position......"
Shun Gong Weng's voice lowered gently, even in the pavilion, all the people around her were serving confidants, she was also very careful, leaned close to Sister Hu Chun, lowered her voice, and said with some schadenfreude: "...... Listening to the report of the nails buried in the Ruyang Palace, he said that in the past few days, the prince of Ruyang has returned to the mansion, his face is black, and he has been furious many times, and all the porcelain in the house has been broken and replaced with four or five sets. ”
Lord Shun Gong Weng has always been a dignified and steady person, and she treats people gently and politely, this is the first time she has talked about the privacy of others with Sister Hu Chun like this.
Sister Hu Chun somehow felt that she was closer to her.
In fact, there is still a matter that Lord Shungong heard about and didn't tell Sister Hu Chun.
This matter is also related to Sister Hu Chun.
- Mrs. Hou of Tokyo, who first came to the house and wanted to take her son Sister Nahu Chun as a concubine, after all these years, finally took a concubine for her son.
And Na's concubine, who was obedient to Lord Weng, vaguely heard others mention that she was a white-eyed wolf who had been favored by Sister Hu Chun and bit back, named Qi Chaoyun.
Although she is only a concubine, but whether the other party is the family of the princess, Qi Chaoyun is still very concerned, and Mrs. Hou of Tokyo paradoxically reveals some meaning of "looking down on Sister Hu Chun", Qi Chaoyun is a little excited that she is stronger than Sister Hu Chun, so Mrs. Hou of Tokyo chose her.
In this way, Qi Chaoyun entered the mansion from the corner gate of Tokyo Bofu in a pink sedan chair within a few days, and became the concubine of the Hou Shizi of Tokyo before the year.
Tokyo Hou Shizi's original "mate selection conditions" set off a heated discussion in the imperial capital for a while, and almost everyone with a head and face in the imperial capital knows that the Hou Shizi in Tokyo must marry a good-looking lady to marry a wife.
Although it is not a wife now, it is also the first time that the Hou Shizi of Tokyo has taken a concubine.
Everyone was a little curious about Qi Chaoyun.
Somehow, there were some ugly rumors coming out of the back, saying that because Sister Hu Chun was an adulterous child and her life was unbearable, Mrs. Hou in Tokyo looked down on her famous beauty, so she turned her head and took someone else as a concubine for her son, saying that although this Qi Chaoyun is worse than Sister Hu Chun's appearance, whether it is temperament or cultivation, it is all different, otherwise why doesn't Mrs. Hou in Tokyo choose Sister Hu Chun, who is more beautiful?
These words are really not very good, and Lord Shun Gong Weng was not happy to involve Sister Hu Chun in such troubles, so he didn't tell her.
However, although she didn't mention it, Sister Hu Chun had heard a few rumors of that when she was giving clothes and food outside.
At that time, even Sister Xia, who had always been gentle, was all angry with her little face.
Brother Bin clenched his little fists even more, gritting his teeth and pounced on the one who was chewing the root of his tongue.
Thanks to Sister Hu Chun's eyes, she skillfully pulled it.
Otherwise, if this matter is troubled, it is estimated that the entire imperial capital will know their identity.
Sister Hu Chun spent a lot of effort to comfort her little brother and sister.
In fact, she didn't care about those rumors.
Those rumors are all inferior, and it is impossible to ruin the reputation of a lady without any evidence. It's just that some people who are subordinate spread these rumors to make people sick to their stomachs.
Sister Hu Chun knows that in the future, she only needs to live well, that is, she is wordlessly slapping the face of these gossips!
The life of the charity auction held in the palace of Changshan County is about to celebrate the New Year, and every family with money and no money is all cleaning up the house at home, hoping that the New Year will have a new atmosphere, and there are not many people who come out to watch, and there is not half a minute of the grand scene when the concubine held a banquet.
In fact, this is the norm, but some impetuous female dependents, after experiencing the grand occasion of the charity auction held by the princess, and then looking at the present, it is inevitable that there is some discomfort in the heart.
It's just that no matter how uncomfortable they are in their hearts, they won't be stupid enough to go to other people's doors with a mood.
When they arrived at the Changshan County Palace, they all put on a smile that was more gorgeous than flowers, and they were introduced to the Changshan County Mansion by the servants with a narrow smile.
Sister Hu Chun took the car of the Qishan County Mansion, and she also came to the Qishan County Mansion with Kuang's second grandmother.
Only this time, except for Mrs. An, who was still taking care of the seriously ill Mrs. Yanbinle, Mrs. Mu San also did not participate on the grounds that "she is old and not very comfortable". And Wu Simi, who was pregnant, also pushed the invitation by saying that she was raising a fetus at home.
Therefore, only Sister Hu Chun, Grandma Kuang, and Yanrong Nu led by Grandma Kuang came from the Qishan County Mansion.
In fact, Yan Rongnu was also unwilling to come over, but Grandma Kuang Er didn't want her daughter to stay at home and think nonsense, so she forcibly pulled her out.
Yan Rongnu's mood is actually still a little unstable, and a pair of black walking eyes have lost their former spirits, and they are a little foggy.
The mother-in-law who entertains guests in Changshan County is not an idle person, but also a person who has been trained.
They recognized the Qishan County Mansion from the sign of the carriage, exchanged glances with each other, and one of them, who looked very shrewd, walked out of it, greeted her with a smile, and picked up Sister Hu Chun, Grandma Kuang, and the second grandmother of Kuang and the female couple.
The shrewd lady had a proper smile on her face: "The three of you are the distinguished guests of the Qishan County Mansion? ”
In my heart, I was muttering, I couldn't complain that the master of the boss wanted to take more care of this family, look, I heard that everyone in the Manchu Mansion actually came to the three masters, how much they don't put their Changshan County Mansion in their eyes!
The shrewd mother-in-law couldn't help but glance at Sister Hu Chun again.
This is Sister Hu Chun, who drove their county lord crazy. When I saw it today, it was really unique...... The thirteen princes who couldn't complain about the fascination were upside down, and they didn't even care about the feelings of the county lord who grew up in a small area.
The mother-in-law smacked her tongue in her heart.
She felt that she couldn't see the mark, but Sister Hu Chun was already sensitive, so she naturally took the woman's attention into the depths of her pupils.
Sister Hu Chun's heart was scolded.
She also has no extravagant hopes for the county lord of Hejing, she only hopes for this Hejing, and not be stupid enough to do anything at this kind of banquet.
