Chapter 457: Guarding and Stealing
In the palace of the Loyal and Brave King.
The lord of Fu'an has woken up, and after the doctor's needle, her complexion looks much better than when she was unconscious, with a large soft pillow behind her, holding a brocade box in her arms, and her expression is very happy.
Can it not be pleasant?
As long as the county lord of Fu'an thought that what Fang Hanniang bought back for 100,000 taels was not a South China Sea dzi at all, but a night pearl, she was very excited.
Princess Zhongyong sat on the edge of the bed leaning over, looking at her daughter, who was a little weak but extremely high, and her brows were stretched a lot.
The lord of Fu'an rubbed the brocade box in his arms, and smiled better than a flower: "Mother, this bead is mine, and when the time comes, you will say that the high price is found for me on the market, and I will make a bead crown and inlay this bead into it." I want to wear this when I hold a family banquet in the palace during the Chinese New Year. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you." Princess Zhongyong's face was full of doting, she smiled slightly and pulled the brocade quilt for her daughter, "Fu'an said to get it however you want." ”
Her daughter vomited blood and fainted like that before, which really frightened her, and therefore, when her daughter woke up, she withdrew from all the people around her, took her hand, and begged her to use a means to leave the South China Sea Dzi, although she was a little hesitant, she still agreed to her daughter without hesitation.
The daughter is so pitiful, she was born without a father when she was young, and her relationship is so unsmooth when she grows up, she can only make up for these little things.
The county lord of Fu'an thought of something, and his expression changed slightly: "That's right, mother, the maid who handled the night pearl ......"
Princess Zhongyong smiled lovingly, and looked at the lord of Fu'an dotingly, but the words in her mouth made people shudder: "Don't worry, baby girl, I have already dealt with that maid." ”
Only the dead can keep secrets.
The county lord of Fu'an nodded disapprovingly, and a smile reappeared on his face.
A lowly maid, she doesn't care about whether she is dead or alive, what she wants is that no one will know that her South China Sea dzi is "exchanged" from Fang Hanniang's hands.
Thinking about it like this, the county lord of Fu'an felt a little proud in his heart.
She took the South China Sea dzi out of the brocade box and rubbed it gently.
Hehe, 100,000 taels, very rich, right?
No matter how rich you are, what you buy back is just a fake! It's not the one her brother sent me!
As long as the county lord of Fu'an thought that Fang Hanniang regarded a fake coated with pearl powder as a treasure, and the real South China Sea Dzi was in her hand, she couldn't help but laugh three times immediately.
It's so refreshing!
"Such a big night pearl is a treasure anyway." The county lord of Fu'an said with some disdain, "Thinking of a rural spuffler like her, she can't tell what is a night pearl and what is a South China Sea dzi, it's really cheap for her." ”
Princess Zhongyong nodded gently, echoing the words of the county lord of Fu'an: "What the baby daughter said is true. But for a while, I couldn't find other beads of similar size to fake, so I had to cheapen the little slut. ”
The county lord of Fu'an's eyes turned around, got up and threw himself into the arms of Princess Zhongyong, and said coquettishly: "Mother, do you think that someone in the Pingguo Mansion will find out that the one she regards as a treasure is a fake?" ”
Princess Zhongyong touched the smooth long hair of her daughter in her arms, and said with some hesitation: "Someone should find out." ”
Not to mention others, the lady of the prince in the Pingguo Mansion, the lord of Anping, is a very eye-catching person, I heard that she has dealt with many antique treasures since she was a child, and she should be able to distinguish it.
The body of the county lord of Fu'an stiffened slightly in the arms of Princess Zhongyong: "Then, will the Pingguo Mansion come to trouble our palace?" ”
"They dare!" Princess Zhongyong was not angry and arrogant, her slender willow eyebrows were raised high, and her face was awe-inspiring, "Our palace is not afraid of things. Princess Zhongyong laughed coldly, "It just so happened that I suffered some grievances last time in the Pingguo Mansion, if they find out, they will just ask for it back!" ”
How do you say that?
The county lord of Fu'an raised his body slightly, and looked at Princess Zhongyong with some hesitation: "Mother, in case they sue Your Majesty......"
Princess Zhongyong smiled coldly: "That's great." When we handed over this bead to Fang Hanniang, Fang Hanniang didn't raise any objections, why did the people in Pingguo Mansion say that this Nanhai dzi was fake? …… Did they deliberately frame us, orphans and widows, out of personal enmity with us? ”
Although Princess Zhongyong has been a widow for many years, she has now learned to use her identity as an orphan and widow to win the sympathy of others.
The more Princess Zhongyong spoke, the happier the smile on the face of the county lord of Fu'an became, and she was now a little expecting the Pingguo Mansion to make a big deal about it.
The only outsider who knows the truth is the maid. And she has been "disposed of" by her mother.
If the Pingguo Mansion said that their Zhongyong Wangfu had contracted the South China Sea Dzi, there would be no evidence at all, and when the time came, the two of them would cry and make trouble again, and the Pingguo Mansion would become a bully who bullied orphans and widows.
The more the county lord of Fu'an thought about it, the more proud he became.
She clutched the South China Sea dzi tightly, thinking almost obsessively in her heart, Brother Jin, this South China Sea dzi you sent is mine, and you will also be mine.
……
Fang Hanniang went back to Fuyuan Hall, and went to the old lady of Pingguo first.
The old lady of Pingguo was looking forward to her granddaughter's return early, and Tete let the green warbler greet her outside, as soon as Fang Hanniang came in, the old lady of Pingguo couldn't wait to say: "Good girl, why are you back so late today?" ”
Fang Hanniang smiled and waited for the cold on her body to dissipate, and said loudly: "Because the scene is very lively today, the emperor and several princes have come over to help the fun. ”
"Oh?" The old lady of Pingguo smiled meaningfully, "That one, also sent?" ”
The "one" in the old lady's mouth, Fang Hanniang knew it, and she was talking about Ji Jinxing.
But she pretended not to know, handed the cloak to the little maid on the side, and smiled and confused.
The old lady likes to see her granddaughter's powdery face and shy answer, she laughs and is very happy.
"Come," beckoned the old lady, "let my grandmother guess how much silver taels it cost to shoot that thing?" ”
Fang Hanniang compared a "one".
The old lady of Pingguo hesitated slightly: "Ten thousand taels? ”
No, the things sent by the dignified prince, no matter how worthless they are, those noble and noble ladies should be eager to catch them, how could they let their granddaughter pick up the leak for 10,000 taels?
Fang Hanniang shook her head with a smile: "Grandmother, it's not 10,000 taels, it's 100,000 taels." ”
100,000 taels?
Boy!
Rao is private property, and the extremely wealthy old lady of Pingguo was also taken aback by the 100,000 taels.
When she reacted, she hurriedly said, "How can you have so many silver tickets?" But borrowed money from your second cousin? ......" she turned her head and shouted to the green warbler, "Go and open my private treasury ......"
Fang Hanniang hurriedly stopped the old lady of Pingguo: "Grandmother, I have enough silver." I didn't borrow my second cousin. ”
The old lady of Pingguo was a little suspicious: "No? Then you ......"
Where did you get so much money?
Fang Hanniang pretended to be unhappy: "Grandmother, I said a long time ago, your granddaughter is a person who can make money, but you don't believe it!" Trust me now, right? ”
As early as when Fang Hanniang took out a large sum of silver taels to do good deeds, the old lady of Pingguo knew that her granddaughter was very good at making money.
This is now verified.
The old lady of Pingguo was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "It's good to be able to make money, so I can't suffer anywhere." ”
Fang Hanniang's heart was sour.
Seriously speaking, Fang Hanniang belongs to business, and even if the noble ladies of the old lady of Pingguo come into contact with every day, even if they have no money on hand, they definitely did not show up to do this, because the ladies in this circle all think that businessmen are a lowly industry.
The old lady of Pingguo did not think that the merchant was lowly, and even the granddaughter was proud to make money.
Mrs. Pingguo smiled: "Come, let my grandmother open her eyes, what does the baby that cost my family 100,000 taels look like?" ”
She said this, but she made up her mind in her heart to let the green warbler open her private treasury for a while, and she would privately subsidize her granddaughter by one or two.
No matter how much money can a granddaughter make, her daughter's family, it's always right to have more silver.
The three sons are all capable, and her private treasury was originally intended to be left to her daughter. Now that her daughter is gone, she has left behind three lovely grandchildren, not to mention anything else, in terms of money, she will never let them be wronged because of this.
When Fang Hanniang heard that the old lady of Pingguo wanted to see it, her heart suddenly burst.
But she already knew that this fake couldn't escape this.
Fang Hanniang didn't want the old lady to know that the things she bought back for 100,000 taels were stolen by the guards of the Zhongyong Palace.
She was still smiling and groaning, and she couldn't see any clues, but she didn't put the brocade box on the table, but held it in her arms, opened the brocade box, and showed it to the old lady of Pingguo as if she was holding the brocade box: "Grandmother, look, isn't this South China Sea dzi very beautiful?" ”
She carefully avoided the little pothole that had just been knocked out of the carriage.
"South China Sea Dzi?" The old lady of Pingguo is old, her eyes have long been spent, and she can't see things clearly. Fang Hanniang's behavior of holding her head in her arms and not sending it over made her misunderstand that her granddaughter loved this bead too much, and she didn't care, after all, she had seen more treasures.
The old lady of Pingguo squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time, only to feel that this bead seemed to be very bright.
The old lady of Pingguo nodded lovingly: "It's a good thing, put it away, when you get married, this can be inlaid on your phoenix crown to ensure that it looks good." ”
Fang Hanniang took advantage of this joke, pretended to be shy, and ran away with the bead unrelentingly.
The room was filled with the joyful laughter of the old lady of Pingguo.
Fang Hanniang went back to her room and retired from the people she served, and the smile on her face faded.
