Chapter 456: Dancing Queen
The old emperor couldn't help but think maliciously: Could this be Gu Jinzhen deliberately taking revenge on him.
In any case, this year's autumn banquet has become a joke not only for the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also for the entire capital.
Everyone thought that after Qiao Lixi's death, the county lord of Nishang would be able to see the moon and the clouds, but they didn't want such a thing to happen.
Some people also joked that Gu Jinzhen was not good at lingering, and a favorite wife died, and a county lord cuckolded him.
Of course, there are also people who believe that the county lord of Nishang was framed, after all, Qiao Lixi is dead, no matter how Gu Jinzhen doesn't treat her, her wife's position is stable, and Gu Jinzhen will have a son-in-law in the future, and this sister-in-law can only crawl out of the belly of the county lord of Nishang, so even if the two have no feelings, the son is biological, and this son will inherit the Shen family army in the future, and he will become the new god of war of the dynasty.
According to the old emperor's love for the lord of Nishang, her future child is definitely a new generation of favored ministers, and the future is bright, what is the dissatisfaction of the lord of Nishang, do you have to go out of the wall at this time?
Of course, some people believe that this is a bureau set up by Gu Jinzhen.
However, just as the old emperor thought before, Gu Jinzhen seems to be beautiful, respected by the people, and has a good reputation among the people, but he has little power in the court, except for the two military talismans, it can be said that he has no colleagues in the court, no real power, let alone can stretch his hand into the palace and mobilize the people in the palace to help him set up this bureau.
The old emperor thought it was impossible.
So someone deliberately designed the neon dress county lord?
The old emperor was in a very bad mood.
Everyone has their own home, and the palace is equivalent to his home, and reaching out to his home not only makes him feel very uncomfortable, but also becomes more and more unsteady.
Who knows, when someone will reach to his pillow?
Therefore, with the help of the county lord of Nishang, the old emperor completely cleaned the palace.
This time, the Queen Mother came forward in person, and the palace maids and eunuchs in each concubine's palace displayed a list, and the Queen Mother personally screened it. It not only records the origin of these people, but also when they entered the palace, what positions they held after entering the palace, and where they are staying now.
It can be said that everyone's experience in the palace is recorded in detail.
Originally, these things should have been done by the queen, but the queen had long been worshipping the Buddha all year round and did not ask about the world, and Cao Guifei, who had covered the sky with one hand, temporarily handed over the power in her hand for various reasons.
The most ridiculous thing is that Concubine Tao, who is on a par with her, is also low-key and does not leave the palace because of the affairs of the second prince, so for a while, the harem is leaderless, although it will not be a mess, but there is no previous peace. Some concubines who have not been favored all year round gradually have other thoughts and are scrambling to compete for favor in front of the old emperor.
If the old emperor is in a good mood, he still has the heart to have a good time with these people, but now the old emperor's mind is on those trivial matters that make him anxious, how can he be in the mood to flirt with the concubines?
But the more this is the case, the greater the motivation of these concubines, after all, the harem has no leader, and the two most favored concubines have been beaten into the "cold palace".
Similarly, the Tao family and the Chang family were not relieved by Qiao Lixi's death, Qiao Lixi was gone, but her business was still there, not to mention the side, just said that the ice shop that day was in Doujin, which made the two families red.
Especially the ice-making recipe mentioned by Qiao Yixi.
If it is really as Qiao Yixi said, ice-making is just a matter of moving your fingers, and there is no labor cost or storage fee, then how much money will they save and how much money will they earn?
In just one summer, they can earn enough for a year.
Qiao Yixi is dead, and all the shops under her name are still going on - Yunshang, Meal World, and the ice shop.
The Feng family thought about taking these shops for themselves, but whether it was "Yunshang", "Meal World" or the ice shop, it was Qiao Lixi's partnership with the Jin family and the Yu family. Qiao Lixi died, according to the contract they signed before, the part of the dividends that belonged to Qiao Lixi was given to the "Wutong Pavilion", and part was given to the Gu family, and there was nothing to do with them in the Marquis Mansion.
This is what makes the Feng family angry but helpless.
Although, after Qiao Lixi's death, the "Wutong Pavilion" was also dispersed, but all the silver went into Gu Jinzhen's hands.
Gu Jinzhen is not short of silver, he is the commander of the Shen family's army, according to the rules set by Emperor Gaozu, they can take away part of the loot captured by the Shen family's army first, and the remaining part will be filled into the treasury, it is conceivable how many good things are in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. And these good things, except for a part of the distribution to the prince of Zhenyuan, the rest is all Gu Jinzhen's. Since the Hou Shizi of Zhenyuan was injured, Gu Jinzhen was basically leading the team in large and small battles, and he had the right of first refusal to choose those trophies, just by looking at the posture he had married Qiao Lixi at the beginning, he knew how many good things he had hidden.
She didn't know before, otherwise she wouldn't have treated Gu Jinzhen with that attitude, even for the sake of those things, she would also be kind to Gu Jinzhen.
Not to mention how red she is now when she finds out.
Knowing that the Hou Mansion was so difficult, not to mention taking out the money to confiscate it, he actually wanted her to return Shen Yuan's dowry with interest!
The more Feng thought about it, the more unbalanced his heart became.
Now, the property under Qiao Jinwen's name doesn't know whose it is.
In short, she is now in all kinds of troubles, and all the money she gets has become someone else's!
If there is still a "splendid building" in it, the days of the Hou Mansion will be smooth, and the days of the second room will be better.
Brother Xuan is now in a critical period, whether he can successfully invite Feng Shizi depends on whether Gu Jinzhen and the emperor will have trouble this time.
Shen Jiajun?
Her focus has never been on Shen Jiajun!
Who knows if Shen Jiajun can be retained in the end, and who knows who Shen Jiajun will be in the end?
Feng thought that he was stunned before.
Thinking too much, thinking too much, that's why I hesitated.
In fact, her focus has always been only one, that is, the position of the son, what does the rest have to do with her?
After the enlightenment, the Feng family complained a lot about the Marquis of Dingguo in his heart.
The previous promises are vulnerable in the face of the harsh reality!
It's not that she looks down on Hou Ye, but in fact, with Hou Ye's ability, she is not Gu Jinzhen's opponent at all, not to mention that there is a Zhenyuan Marquis behind her.
Thinking of Hou Ye's snubbing of her in the past few days, Feng's heart was unfair.
She has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, how could she have been so angry?
In the past few days, Hou Ye has been resting in the study, which has never happened, even when she was pregnant, Hou Ye has never left her, let alone Aunt Na or Yongtong.
She is pregnant with twin sons, Hou Ye is cautious with her, never leaving an inch, how can she still have the heart to have a relationship with other women, but when she is old, Hou Ye actually treats her like this!
"Madame......" The little maid came in tremblingly.
Feng swept over with a cold eye, "Master Hou is back?" ”
In the past few days, the Marquis of Dingguo has used the excuse of socializing, and he comes back late every day, and sleeps directly in the study in the front yard after coming back.
Fortunately, the Feng family is alone in the Hou Mansion, and the people who serve in the front yard are all small servants, and the maids can't even get out of the second door, otherwise, I don't know how many motives are impure, thinking about how to climb the bed!
The Feng clan didn't want to make jokes at this time!
In the circle, who doesn't know her scenery in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, this is also the only capital she can get her hands on in the circle, and she must keep it.
"Mrs. Hui, Master Hou just came back, and the person hasn't arrived at the second gate yet, just ......"
"Just what?" Feng was in a very bad mood, and the maids around her were all angry with her, so when she saw Feng like this, the maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"Say!" The last bit of patience of the Feng clan was gone.
If it was ordinary, Hou Ye would have persuaded her softly, why let her send people all over the capital to find Hou Ye's shadow.
It's just that this kind of thing has to be sneaky, to give face to Hou Ye, to give face to himself, and to give face to Hou Fu.
It's good today, Hou Ye came back, but he didn't go back to the main courtyard directly, the Feng family was so angry that the top of his head was on fire!
With her angry here, Hou Ye didn't care about it at all!
"Mrs. Hui, Master Hou brought back a dancing girl."
"Maidome?" Feng asked sharply, "How do you know it's a dancing girl?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid secretly asked Gui'an, the chief attendant beside Hou Ye, and Gui'an said that it was given to Hou Ye by Hou Ye's colleagues."
"What's going on?"
After all, she is a maid who follows the Feng family, and she still has this ability to do things.
As soon as he heard the identity of the woman, he immediately asked about the detailed experience, so in the face of Feng's questioning, the maid immediately said: "Mrs. Hui, after the Hou Ye went down today, he followed Zhang Yuma out to drink, and there were several adults from the Hanlin Academy. I don't know which adult proposed, Hou Ye and his party arrived at 'Drunk Qingfeng', it is said that the dancing girl is the newly trained girl of 'Drunk Qingfeng', or a chick, those adults saw that Hou Ye liked it, and gave it to Hou Ye! ”
"Smack!"
A slap on the table, Feng Shi didn't care about the pain in his palm.
How can this pain compare to her bleeding heart!
Taking a deep breath, the Feng clan did not immediately kill the Marquis of Dingguo, but asked the maid to call the Hou Ye's entourage.
But in the time of tea, the Feng family figured out the net worth of the dancing girl.
It's just an old Xiucai's daughter, who looks a little bit good, and the old Xiucai is obsessed with gaining fame, and her limbs are not diligent and her grains are not divided, and when she is at the end of her rope, she can only sell her daughter.
Lao Xiucai was lucky, his daughter had a bit of a look, and after being bought by "Drunk Qingfeng", she trained her well and was ready to sell it for a good price.
The name of "Drunk Qingfeng" is elegant, and it is actually a place to do leather and meat business, but unlike ordinary Qinglou, "Drunk Qingfeng" is better than elegance.
The girls in the building will study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some of their skills are comparable to everyone's ladies.
These "skilled" girls generally do not sell themselves easily, unless they are a few wealthy and powerful old men who take a fancy to them, and under the temptation of silver, the bustard sells the girl half-push and half-on-the-spot.
Or, the bustard thinks that the momentum is almost done, and chooses a good day and uses an auction to sell the girl's first night.
