Yidao raised his eyebrows wickedly and said, "You know, you know." ”

Fu Mujin glanced at him, as if to say, I shouldn't pay attention to you idiot.

It is said that every once in a while he would admit a group of women into the palace, like the emperor's draft girl, and the common people said that he couldn't wait to be the emperor for a long time. I think His Majesty the Emperor is also taboo that he has made great achievements, so he will just return from winning the battle and let him go to cure the plague. ”

"Yidao, don't talk nonsense. Beware of partition walls with ears. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, their ears can't stretch out so long, besides, it's not just me in this city, everyone says so."

"I don't believe in hearsay, I only believe in myself, what I hear, what I see."

"Alas, my son-in-law is like this, he doesn't have long eyes, when everyone in the world is a good person, there are no bad people. Wait for someone to take advantage of someone one day, but don't come to find a rice to cry your nose. ”

Yidao deliberately pinched his nose and said in a strange voice.

"Okay, if you don't eat it again, I'll let the shopkeeper withdraw."

"Don't, if you don't eat enough now, won't you really become a starving ghost when you get to Liqian City?"

"Are you afraid of death?"

"Of course, Childe, you don't have a daughter-in-law, you don't know. If I die, my beautiful daughter-in-law will definitely be remembered, and maybe just after the seventh day of the rice head, my daughter-in-law will be annoyed to death by the person who proposed her marriage. ”

Maybe he couldn't stand the sour smell of love, Fu Mujin was actually choked by the tea.

"Ahem..."

"Childe, we are going to Liqian on this trip, it is very dangerous, do you want to write a letter back to the master, so as not to have time to say anything." Yidao, who played a lot, pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeve.

"It's okay, I'm going to write a letter to my family to report my safety."

Fu Mujin nodded matter-of-factly.

"Yidao means to let the master quickly find you a beautiful daughter-in-law in the countryside and continue the Fu family's incense lamp, after all, Gongzi, you are the ninth generation of single inheritance, the only seedling, if the only seedling of the Fu family is cut off from you, under the nine springs, how can you be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors in the future!"

How did you come back around?

If you want to take an exam, Fu Mujin will really give a rice and a word.

"Shopkeeper, settle the bill, and remove the dishes."

"Hey, Childe, I haven't eaten yet, I haven't eaten yet!"

Yidao pulled his throat and ran after the vegetable and meat buns, Fu Mujin shook his head angrily.

【Nine Kings' Mansion】

As soon as he received the attention of the people in the city, the Nine Princes were in a good mood, and after returning to the house to simply change into court clothes, he planned to get into the carriage and enter the palace directly to face the saint.

Deputy Lin Donglai suddenly came and reported something.

I saw Lin Donglai whispering a few words in the ear of the Nine Princes, and the Nine Princes, who were originally in a good mood, put away his smile and folded back from the gate.

Lin Donglai respectfully handed over the roster and began to introduce.

"This is Mrs. Li's niece, who has just turned fifteen, the one wearing a powder blue dress is the third daughter of Lin Fushang, and the one who Xia Guan thinks looks the most similar is the girl who wears a yellow gauze skirt, although she is just a maid, but her facial features are exactly the same."

"Which one is exactly the same?"

"Lord Wang, if you look closely, as long as you cover your mouth, this eyebrows, eyes, and nose are exactly the same."

The Nine Princes looked at the portrait that was blocked with his palm and nodded coldly.

"Okay, then the king will go and see it first."

The Nine Princes turned around and walked into the main garden, the girls who had just entered the house this year, like soldiers, lined up neatly, in a clear order, and the girls were graceful one by one, and they were ashamed of the moon.

"Come, let them take the flowers." Lin Donglai commanded as usual.

The maids presented various colors of hibiscus flowers, and let each girl hold a flower.

And the Nine Princes are like a lion that breaks into the flowers, passing in front of each budding flower, and his gaze occasionally stops, but it is only for a moment.

Facing the handsome Nine Princes, the women blushed, their chests rose and fell, their palms were sweaty, and their hearts were overflowing.

I can't wait to throw myself into his arms, talk to him, and ask for warmth.

"Okay, besides her, she, and her. Everyone else should be called into the house to be maids. ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, several hibiscus faces suddenly burst into laughter.

The expression of the Nine Princes did not change, and he went out without looking back, the figure disappeared around the corner, Vice General Lin turned around to do some chores, and several faint sobs came from behind him.

It turned out that the girls who had been transferred to the house to be maids were crying.

"What's wrong? Don't want to be a maid in the Nine Kings' Mansion? ”

The girls, like frightened rabbits, were red-eyed and too frightened to move.

"If you don't want to, you will leave the house. But you have to get a tattoo on your arm. ”

What the? Only prisoners will have tattoos on their bodies.

And if there is a tattoo on her body, there is no way to enter the palace as a show girl.

It is even more impossible to become the concubine of other princes.

No, never.

The group of girls shook their heads again and again, but it saved Lin Donglai a lot of trouble, anyway, it was not the first time to see a girl crying, and they were used to seeing it every year.

"Since you are all unwilling, you will be honest, keep your duty, and stay in the Nine Kings' Mansion. If you cry again, you will all be driven out of the house. ”

Today, in addition to the victory of the Nine Princes in the city and the return of the army to the court, another major event occurred, which caused a stir in the city and the public opinion was boiling.

Aunt Cai, who sells vegetables in the vegetable market, has a new gossip today, and she is happily holding a green onion and chatting with the women who used to buy vegetables!

"Hey, have you heard? It turned out that Mrs. Xu of the Yan Mansion was not a good product at all, she colluded with her mother's family to sell the Yan family's things cleanly, and she also used the name of the Yan family to go around on credit and borrow money! ”

"Isn't it, a few days ago, didn't you say that Yan Shunhua was a white-eyed wolf and harmed her mother-in-law? Why is the wind blowing like this today? ”

Yingniang, who was over half a hundred years old, smacked her lips, looking like an old lady I didn't believe it, and the women in the same company also shook their heads.

"That's it, that's it, Mrs. Xu of Yan Mansion, that's a superior person, how can she do things like a mean concubine, and she doesn't do a lot of good deeds on weekdays, a few days ago, didn't she still give porridge at the city gate?"

"Did you hear me wrong?"

When Aunt Cai heard this, she was unhappy, and she dared to question her?

She saw it with her own eyes, and hurriedly said in her throat: "Don't believe it? I don't believe it to go to the patrol room to inquire, last night she was sent to the yamen by the eldest lady of the Yan family on charges of stealing and bribery, my family lives opposite the yamen, and the three watches in the middle of the night, crying and screaming, howling, like killing pigs, so that my father-in-law can't sleep well in the middle of the night. ”

"What?! I really know people and don't know my heart, I can't see that she is such a person! ”

"I want to vomit when I think I drank the porridge she gave me."

"It's just that she doesn't look like a good person." Ying Niang said with a look of disgust.

Yingnian suddenly lowered his head, beckoned, and motioned for them to come over, and the four of them immediately formed a circle.

I saw Aunt Cai whispering: "Tell you something, don't make a noise!" This is inside information. ”

"What, say it!"

"You know the squire of the Yu family, he was going to marry the eldest lady of the Yan family back then, but later, Mrs. Xu went to the Jade Mansion in person, and Mrs. Yu immediately changed her mind and asked her son to marry the second lady.

"Don't say it, it's true."

"This Mrs. Xu is really vicious, although she is not her own, but she can't be greedy for other people's fiancés."

"It's not my mother-in-law, I really know how to pretend. I heard that the outside of the Shilang's mansion is full of people now, all of whom are here to collect debts, but I pity the little lady of Shilang, there is such a mother. ”

"So, my Yingniang always says that to be a man, you have to be kind. The iniquity I have done may be avenged on my children that day. ”

【Jade House】

Today's house is very quiet, and all the subordinates are submissive, and they don't talk about the people who gather in front of the gate to collect debts and make a fuss.

Yan Rubing fidgeted, rubbed her handkerchief, wandered around the house, and finally, finally waited for the maid Qiujing.

"Qiujing, how is it, are those people gone?"

"Back to the young lady, Qiujing persuaded those people to go back according to your instructions, but the interest on the money you asked Qiujing to repay today is not enough. It turned out that the second uncle was in business before, not only lost a lot of money, but was also deceived into buying some fake mines, and now as soon as he heard that the second uncle was kicked out of the Yan family, those people ran out to collect debts, and they were afraid... I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid of what to say! ”

Although Yan Rubing's tone was anxious, her demeanor did not change for half a minute, and she still looked very weak and gentle.

"The slave didn't dare to say it."

"Say it quickly."

"I'm afraid... The second lady died in prison, and it is not good to ask you for this money. ”

"What?!" Yan Rubing was so angry that she didn't even know that she knocked over the teacup and shattered it.

"Young lady, otherwise, Second Uncle Xu's mess, you should leave it alone, just throw it back to Yan Shunhua's dead fat woman to deal with."

"You're right, maybe you could before, but you can't now."

The slave dared to ask, why? She Yan Shunhua can do it, why can't the young lady? ”

"Yan Shunhua's slut is in the main city and is trumpeting that I want to help my mother, and my second uncle will repay the debt, and now if I don't pay it back, the whole city should say that I am ruthless and unjust, regardless of filial piety."

"Then you have done your best, but Second Uncle Xu is really too deceitful, and he owes a huge amount of money outside, and the young lady really can't help it." Qiu Jing continued to help with ideas.

"No, if the people in the city know that I can't go up, they will think that the squire is strong outside the mansion. Yulang can no longer hold his head up in officialdom. ”

"What should I do?"

"Wait." Yan Rubing suddenly remembered something, "Did those IOUs have the seal of the Yan family pressed on them?" ”

The maid's voice came in noisily.

"What's going on? So noisy? Yan Rubing walked to the door and asked sharply.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I bumped into someone.

The other party raised his hand and slapped her twice, catching her off guard.

Yan Rubing, who was delicate, couldn't stand this, and the whole person fell to the ground.

She stroked her hot face with a stunned face, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she looked at her mother-in-law pitifully.

"Mother, you are..."

"Don't call me mother! Our Yu family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like you who takes her mother's family and harms her father-in-law! Look at the dirty things your mother and your uncle did, the whole city knows about it, they are playing favoritism, selling illicit salt, and bribing the government! With people like you staying in Shilang's Mansion, how will Yulang get ahead in the court in the future. He was the youngest squire. Because of you, he can't even lift his head now. ”

The maids brought a wooden stool to the old lady and asked her to sit and scold.

"Mother, I was wrong." Yan Rubing covered the stinging left side of her face and knelt down in front of Yu Xiangfeng's mother.

"Now I know it's wrong, it's too late. Okay, for the sake of you and Yulang who have been married for many years, take the letter of resignation, hurry up and take your messy people to get out, don't gather in front of the Shilang Mansion all day and night. ”

"Don't, don't, mother, Rubing has been married to the waiter for so many years, and she has always served with all her heart, this time it's all my eldest sister Yan Shunhua, she was unwilling to Yulang chose me, so she framed my mother, and found someone to deceive my uncle. If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask others to see if my ruthless eldest sister has driven out all the relatives in the house. She is domineering and wants to occupy the property of the Yan family. My mother and second uncle were subjected to her way, mother. ”
