Chapter 51: Ten Thousand Taels (27)
The noble lady said curiously: "Mrs. Lan went to the brothel to redeem the prostitute, my sister even knows the details of this matter so clearly?" ”
Wen said: "Alas, this mountain man on the left bank is not an ordinary female prostitute, he went to the brothel to ransom people, and he told me in advance, after all, after redemption, he will be kept in my yard." ”
The Queen Mother muttered: "In this way, I will first propose from the emperor tomorrow the silver of the Mourning family for the next few years, and then take out some jewelry and jewelry, and it is enough to think about it together, so I will let the Steward Liu in the palace ......" said and looked at the old eunuch next to him.
This is Steward Liu, who hurriedly bent over and bowed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother continued: "...... Go to the Emerald Red Mansion and redeem the two of you, that kind of fireworks and willow lane, it's better to leave as soon as possible. After you redeemed it, you went to the prostitute first, and then came to my house. An old woman of mine is very bored in the palace, and with you two young girls by her side, I want to have more fun here. ”
She didn't dare to mention the matter of letting Yang Jie raise Chu Nian in the royal palace on the outskirts of the city, and that Yang Jie would take the opportunity to take her money again. As the queen mother, she is not bad money, but if someone calculates her like this, no one will be happy.
Hearing Chu Nian talk about Yang Jie taking a thousand taels to forcibly ransom her, Zhao Feiyan was worried to death, Chu Nian's words had the meaning of disgusting the Queen Mother for giving her a thousand taels to redeem her with too little money, she was really afraid that the Queen Mother would directly cut off Chu Nian's head in anger.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said in a kind tone that she would first propose her future silver and some jewelry, and then redeem the two of them after raising enough money. Zhao Feiyan not only didn't let go of her heart, but this heart hung even harder.
If the queen mother doesn't advance and retreat, is she going to get the two of her into the palace and then clean them up?
When she was very worried in her heart, she saw Chu Nian looking at her, and glanced at her, and then stepped out of the ranks. Seeing this, Zhao Feiyan also followed her out.
The two daughters bowed down to the Queen Mother together.
Chu Nian said: "The Queen Mother is so merciful, and she is so considerate and generous to untouchables like us. It is rumored that the Queen Mother cares about the people, and now the people know that what the outside world says is true. The two women were very grateful. He bowed his head with a sincere and grateful face.
The Queen Mother who said these words was very comfortable, although she was indeed a little annoyed by Chu Nian just now because she asked Yang Jie to take a thousand taels to redeem herself, but she knew very well that if she found the two girls to make trouble because of this matter, it would definitely make outsiders laugh at her for not having royal bearing; Moreover, this matter is really too inappropriate for Yang Jie's house.
She had just noticed that Du Lin was looking this way, and even if she couldn't tell which girl his eyes had fallen on, her eyes were straight, but she was sure that there was one of them. The emperor had said that it was Du Lin who mentioned that he wanted to see the people of the mountains on the left bank, and if she really needed one of them to marry Xiwan at that time, she would say this now, and it would not be abrupt to send someone to redeem her two and take her into the palace when the time came.
Now she has won the gratitude of the second daughter because of what she said just now, and she has also fallen into the reputation of being kind and generous and considerate of all the people, and she is naturally very happy in her heart.
The old lady's wife, Wen Shi, joked and said: "Old sister of the Queen Mother, the name of daring to love you has long been spread outside the palace, and even these two girls in the brothel have heard of it." ”
The Queen Mother sneered: "You old thing has a lot of eyes!" ”
Just now, the Wen family mentioned that the old lady went to redeem Chu Nian, and was reluctant to return home because the price was too high, just to let the queen mother know that what the left bank mountain man said was not bad, her worth was indeed very high, Yang Jie wanted to ransom people away with a thousand taels, how could the old bustard be willing?
If Yang Jie forcibly took people away in front of the many eunuchs and sons of the family who participated in the auction, I am afraid that the entire capital would be shaken. The most infuriating thing is that Yang Jie did this under the banner of the Queen Mother, and the reputation of the Queen Mother will be damaged.
The queen mother has been intriguing with the concubines in the palace for decades, and she understands this bend after a little pondering. After all, she is a sister who grew up and has deep feelings, and Wen is mentioning her!
Although she is the queen mother, she is not unpopular, she has already told Wen's in one sentence, and she understands the deep meaning of Wen's words.
"Get up, don't kneel!" The Queen Mother said softly, "As long as you enter the palace in the future, don't worry about serving my old woman." ”
Chu Nian hurriedly smiled and said: "The Queen Mother said that she laughed, if you can serve by the Queen Mother's side, I really don't know how much blessing it is for the two of us!" ”
Zhao Feiyan also accompanied the smiling face, but she still couldn't help worrying in her heart: she always felt that the Queen Mother's arrangement had ulterior motives, and there must be some purpose.
Therefore, when the hunting began, when the Queen Mother and the noblewomen shifted their attention to the hunting, Chu Nian left for a while, and Zhao Feiyan hurriedly followed.
"You've always had something on your mind." Chu Nian said in a low voice.
Zhao Feiyan saw that there was no one nearby, so she lowered her voice as much as possible and said, "Is my sister really going to enter the palace?" ”
Chu Nian: "Let's do it and see, why be in a hurry, maybe there will be another change today." "Look deep into the distance.
Zhao Feiyan was slightly shocked when she heard this, and looked at Chu Nian's gaze, and saw that in that direction, in the distance, Du Lin, the crown prince of Xiwan Kingdom, was being called by a prince of a family to hunt, Du Lin turned around and told Zoya a few words, and then whipped the horse, and gathered together with all the young generals......
That Yang Jie was also among these young generals, and when he saw Du Lin leaving Zoya, he glanced at a hunting ground official not far away, and the official nodded to Yang Jie imperceptibly.
"This scoundrel!" Zhao Feiyan cursed in a low voice.
Chu Nian smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's just that the time has not yet come." ”
They are here to "bystander clear", Zoya got the news in advance, and this hunt is also very prepared.
Her henchmen, Lingxiang and the warrior Tianxuan, both felt that their princess Zoya, somehow unusually, suddenly became unfathomable, which was too unlike their princess. Lingxiang found an opportunity to secretly ask Zoya this question.
Zoya looked incredulous when she heard this, and said, "Really? I? She pointed to herself, "Unfathomable? ”
Lingxiang nodded.
Zoya wondered, "Where did you see that I was unfathomable?" ”
Lingxiang said in a low voice: "Isn't the princess's arrangement today unfathomable enough?" Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know about the princess's arrangement! Speaking of which, when he looked at Zoya's eyes, there was still some admiration.
Zoya raised her eyebrows and thought, "Could it be that I have become more calculating under the influence of the mountain people on the left bank?" Thinking about it like this, her little face couldn't help but feel a little more proud.
In fact, she didn't make any special arrangements, just let Tianxuan's henchmen keep an eye on the people in Yang's mansion, especially Yang Jie, Mrs. Yang, and those who would come to participate in the hunt today.
