Chapter 42: Ten Thousand Taels (18)

Besides, the queen mother wants to ransom the boy girl, and the boy girl is likely to be brought into the palace as a female official, which is no better than living in the backyard of the mansion of these Confucian scholars: many court female officials are of the same grade as the court officials, and belong to the people who eat the emperor's grain.

The outcry ends.

The old bustard didn't know the key point, but he only knew that some people had bid up to 7,000 taels. She smiled and said: "Yang Gongzi actually came by the emperor's order, since this is the case, I think our thoughts will not refuse to be redeemed by Yang Gongzi." Dare to ask if these 7,000 taels are you in silver or silver tickets? ”

"Seven thousand taels?" Yang Jie's eyes widened, "You robbed and ransomed a prostitute, how could you have such a high price?" When the official came, the queen mother personally handed the official a thousand taels of royal silver tickets to redeem Tong Nian. ”

"One thousand taels?!" The old bustard's frightened eyes almost popped out, and when he exclaimed, the saliva almost sprayed on Yang Jie's face.

Yang Jie took a step back and shouted, "Stay away from me!" ”

The old bustard didn't dare to provoke him, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and said: "One thousand taels is not good, how much did everyone bid just now, Yang Gongzi obviously saw it, and one thousand taels wanted to take us away, that's not good!" ”

Yang Jie: "I have the Queen Mother's message. ”

When the old bustard heard this, his heart stood.

She bought Tong Nian for only a few taels of silver, and she raised the professor of piano art and songs with coarse tea and light rice, and the sum was no more than two hundred taels, plus she had earned a lot from Tong Nian in the past few years, so she was actually acceptable to redeem herself with a thousand taels.

The most important thing is that she didn't have the courage to offend the royal disobedient queen mother, nor did she have the courage to go against Yang Jie.

But she rolled her eyes, she still wanted to scrape some more oil and water, and said with a bitter face: "Young Master Yang, you see that you miss such a talent, you know that I have spent a lot of effort and money to cultivate her, you can do it, pity my old woman, give more rewards!" ”

Chu Nian had been paying attention to the situation outside, and when she heard the old bustard say this, she knew that this old thing was really going to sell her to Yang Jie like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

She walked out of the room to the railing on the second floor, facing the hall, and looked coldly at everyone in the hall.

Everyone noticed her appearing, and they all looked up at her.

She said in a loud voice: "Yang Gongzi, although you say that you are the queen mother's mouth, but after all, there is no basis for your words, if the queen mother really wants to redeem the little girl, you have to trouble Yang Gongzi to go back and ask for the will, as long as the will is clear, it is indeed the queen mother who gave me a thousand taels of silver to redeem myself, and I dare not openly resist the decree if I want to come." ”

"Are you ......" Yang Jie pointed at Chu Nian with an angry face, "Could it be that I am a dignified five-grade supervisor, and I will pretend to pass on the Empress Dowager's decree?" ”

Chu Nian said: "Others may not, but Yang Gongzi, are you?" I couldn't help laughing, "It's really hard to say." ”

Many Confucian scholars present laughed along, and some of them even ridiculed Yang Jie.

Although Yang Jie was indeed pretending to spread Yi's will, the Queen Mother gave him two thousand taels of silver tickets, but he didn't say how much money he would pay for the auction, not to mention that he also deducted one thousand taels from it; But when he heard everyone's ridicule, he only felt that he was extremely faceless, and it was Chu Nian, a female prostitute, who made him faceless.

His angry face turned blue and red for a while, and he shouted to Chu Nian: "You, wait for me!" After saying that, he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and walked away.

Zhao Feiyan said a little worriedly: "Sister, seeing Yang Jie leave in annoyance like this, I'm afraid this matter can't be good." ”

Chu Nian smiled leisurely and whispered, "It's okay, he can't turn over any flowers." ”

When Zhao Feiyan saw that she looked like she was winning, she remembered the "Mountain Cliff Lonely Chrysanthemum", which was Chu Nian's plan. She pouted: she is a modern person, she really can't play these tricks of the ancients!

Chu Nian saw that her little face was a little dissatisfied, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Feiyan: "Does my sister have any plans?" ”

Chu Nian said with a smile: "I just think that the royal family is surnamed Sima after all, not Yang." ”

Zhao Feiyan didn't seem to understand it, but since Chu Nian said not to worry, then she didn't worry about it anymore.

And Yang Jie, who entered the palace at dawn the next day, told the Queen Mother that Tong Nian didn't want to redeem himself at all, and just wanted to soak in the brothel of the Qinglou for the rest of his life, and the Queen Mother was shocked when she heard it: How can any woman want to stay in the Qinglou for the rest of her life?

Yang Jie said: "Why not? If not, where did the bustard come from? The Queen Mother, according to the minister, that Tong Nian is not a person who does not pick up the promotion at all, when she heard that the minister was ordered by the Queen Mother to redeem people, she was unwilling in every way, as if she was redeemed by the Queen Mother and was very worthless. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, and said: "As soon as you say this, the mourning family understands a little, she thinks that she has the name of a mountain man on the left bank, and she can marry into the mansion of a Confucian celebrity as a wife, maybe she still thinks that she can make a fortune in the future!" Oh, it's beautiful! ”

Yang Jie: "Then she has a high heart." ”

Queen Mother: "I'm afraid that my heart is higher than the sky, and my life is thinner than paper." Then he waved his hand, "Don't worry about her anymore, let her go!" If she really entered the scholar's mansion in the future, she would know that the backyard of these celebrities and nobles would not be so easy to treat. ”

"Yes." Yang Jie received the order, but he was not reconciled in his heart. He originally wanted to instigate the Queen Mother to condemn Chu Nian, but looking at the Queen Mother's attitude, although there was anger in his heart, he had no intention of condemning him.

He was thinking about how to blow the wind in his ears to the Queen Mother again, but the Queen Mother had already said: "The mourning family is a little tired, you should retreat first!" ”

Yang Jie had no choice but to answer "yes" again and retreated stupidly.

Out of the palace, on the way back to the house, I met a few sons and brothers who often messed around together, and asked him to go to the suburbs to play together in two days.

Two days later, several wealthy sons traveled in a carriage as promised. Because they wanted to see the sunrise, it was not yet dawn when they came out, and when they arrived at Wujue Mountain, a famous place to watch the sunrise in the suburbs, the east was just a little gray.

What surprised them a little was that they came early enough, but they didn't expect that there were people who came earlier than them, the most important thing is that sitting on the top of the mountain looking at the east, obviously also wanting to see the sunrise is a beautiful and clean girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, ordinary village girl dress, looks simple and cute, so that their group of boys who are used to seeing red pink and rouge are bright in front of their eyes and feel full of freshness at the same time.

"Yo, little sister, aren't you afraid of bad people sitting here alone at this time?" Yang Jie was the first to speak, with a smile on his face, and asked.

The girl only turned her head and glanced at him, without saying a word, and continued to look to the east.

"Hey, brother is talking to you!" Yang Jie reached out and grabbed the girl's shoulder as he spoke.
