Chapter 23: The Road to Jiang's Counterattack

Yuhanlou soon got the first lot, which was a phoenix crown.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate this phoenix crown, this is the former queen's phoenix crown - Phoenix Nine Heavens. The phoenix head is lifelike, and the craftsmanship is even more ingenious, especially this phoenix eye, which is the most expensive ruby, and the big South China Sea pearl on the top of this phoenix crown, which is so big as a dragon's eye, which is really rare. ”

The words of the shopkeeper Yang caused an uproar below.

Wen Huimin was surprised: "This Jade Hanlou is really bold, and even the queen's phoenix crown dares to be auctioned." ”

Chunyu and the other maids stretched out their heads, wanting to see what the phoenix crown looked like.

"I knew I should bring Qiao's wife out, she was most interested in these." Cheng Xin said.

Wen Qi next to him chuckled: "Miss, if she is interested, she has to inquire about the cost of this phoenix crown and the craftsmanship." Then you have a headache. ”

"That's right."

Qiao Wu is a money fan, and the trading prices in the capital, from gold leaf and jade brocade to firewood, rice, oil and salt, there is nothing she is not interested in.

I heard that since childhood, he has shown a talent for money, so he was arranged to go to the weekly account room to learn the ability to manage accounts.

"This phoenix crown is not as good-looking as the queen's mother today, by the way, Cheng Xin, have you ever seen the queen's phoenix crown?" Wen Huimin said and turned to look at her.

Cheng Xin shook his head: "I grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child, but I didn't have much opportunity to participate in the palace banquet. ”

"Didn't you go to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet last year?"

"Really?"

Cheng Xin thought about it, but there was no impression at all in the memory left by the original owner.

Thinking about these palace banquets, it is not a good memory for the original owner.

"Yes, but you don't even dare to raise your head, I guess you haven't even seen what the queen mother looks like, right?"

Cheng Xin didn't miss the disdain in Wen Huimin's eyes, and said, "Next time I enter the palace, I have to talk to the queen mother." You see, the last time I fell into the water and knocked my head, people have become confused. ”

"It's just you—"

Wen Huimin also secretly said which green onion is she, and she is still thinking about entering the palace next time? But as soon as I heard about falling into the water, I swallowed the words that came to my mouth.

Also, she only remembered that Cheng Xin was from Jiangnan, but she forgot that she was a young lady from the Anguo Mansion. If it is Miss Guogong next to her, in terms of status and status, it is not much more noble than her as a prime minister.

That An Guogong was different, although he died on the battlefield a few years ago. But it is the righteous son of the current Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother treats the Duke of An Guo more kindly than her two own sons. Now that she loves the house and Wu, the Queen Mother is very spoiled by the little grandfather.

It's just that the little grandfather doesn't like to go out, and he doesn't like to enter the palace. Mrs. Anguo lived in the place of the Buddhist temple again, so Cheng Xin had no way to enter the palace.

But just like my sister said, the Queen Mother will think of this sooner or later, and maybe Cheng Xin will not be what it used to be by then.

Thinking about these clearly, Wen Huimin immediately changed her words: "If you enter the palace next time, you can let me accompany you." I am more familiar than you in the palace, and I can take care of you. ”

Cheng Xin smiled and pretended not to hear.

Wen Huiyi stared intently at the phoenix crown, looked in a trance for a moment, and said, "Former queen, heh, a sinner who participated in the rebellion can still be called a queen." ”

"Miss Wener, who are you talking about?"

"You don't even know that?" Wen Huimin's contempt that she had finally put away overflowed again.

Cheng Xin shook his head.

"Sister Xin is far away in Jiangnan, and these things are not very clear when I think about it." Wen Huiyi glanced at Yulu beside her.

Yulu understood and said softly: "Our young lady is talking about Empress Dowager Jiang." She and the four princes participated in the rebellion, and after the palace failed miserably, she hanged herself. Her things have been thrown out of the palace by the current saints, and now they are in exile, and even the phoenix crown has become a lot in a shop. ”

What kind of person is Empress Dowager Jiang? Cheng Xin had heard about it when he inquired about the affairs of this dynasty with Minqi in the past few days.

This Empress Dowager Jiang was beautiful when she was young, and her father was only an official of the fifth grade, and she voluntarily entered the palace for the sake of the family.

After entering the palace, she started from a small talented person step by step, all the way to the position of the concubine. Almost with his own beauty and intelligence, he supported the entire family on the verge of decay.

Later, Emperor Ren Yuan's wife, Empress Nian, died of illness, and Jiang became the queen because of the meritorious service of giving birth to four princes, and she was the master of the harem for more than ten years.

When he learned this, Cheng Xin also asked the system if this Jiang family was a time-traveling person who took the harem counterattack script.

Of course, Xiaoshu's answer is: You are all cabbage when you are travelers, and you are all travelers.

The results also proved that the pinnacle of the Jiang clan had stopped there.

When Emperor Ren Yuan was dying, he passed the throne to the crown prince who was born to Empress Ren.

Jiang became the queen mother but was unwilling, and that night his son and the fourth prince forced the palace to rebel, causing a palace change.

Wen Huimin said: "The Jiang clan participated in the rebellion and was defeated by the nine clans, and her things are naturally not worthy of being tied to the royal family." Now these people are scrambling to buy it, just to satisfy their own face.

It's ridiculous to think that a sinner's phoenix crown can be related to the queen's mother. ”

In fact, I heard my father say that this Jiang family gave many things to the ministers of the court and the central government in the months before the death of the emperor. It's called a commendation, but it's actually paving the way for his son.

Later, these things were returned to the court by the ministers, and now the saint has rewarded them to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the rebellion. Among them is this phoenix crown. ”

Wen Huiyi said that she saw that the phoenix crown under her was bought by a fat-headed and big-eared wealthy businessman, and couldn't help but shake her head: "It's not that these things are bad, it's just that they are with the wrong person." ”

"Since it is rewarded to the meritorious heroes, why does it still appear in the Yuhan Tower, can this dynasty take out the things rewarded by the emperor and trade?" Although Cheng Xin has not studied it, he also knows that the gifts of the emperor are not allowed to be transferred, let alone a grand transaction.

"Others may not work. But the Jiang family's things are too bad to stay in anyone's house, so someone took them out and pawned them. There are two of these kinds of things, and the saints are benevolent and sympathetic to them and never pursue them. Wen Huimin pouted.

At this time, Xiaoshu suddenly shouted: 'Heroine, heroine is here!' ’

Cheng Xin hurriedly looked in the direction of the gate, and happened to see two women wearing hats entering one after the other.

Both of them were dressed in cloth and wore hats. But this dynasty did not order only the ladies of the official family to dress up like this, but the people around them just looked at them more.

The former is slim, the latter is slightly shorter. It should be Wen Yunxian and Yueya.

"Cheng Xin, are you listening to me?"

Cheng Xin retracted his gaze: "Well, Miss Wen San, I don't know much about the affairs of the court, why don't you tell me more?" ”
