Chapter 591: Selling and Calculating
Feng Yuanwai heard that the Empress Dowager had been sending people to investigate, and it was very likely that she was the orphan girl in the countryside that Qian said, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Feng Yuanwai was far away in Huaicheng, far away from the emperor of the imperial city, and he didn't want to wade into this troubled water. But today, the old friend Yuan Yi who served in the Imperial City for Feng Yuanwai's mother's birthday had a good relationship with Feng Yuanwai, and Feng Yuanwai also wanted to sell his personal favor, so he first promised to build a bridge for the Qian family and introduce him to his old friend, Yuan Yi, the Jiupin official of the Imperial City.
Qian saw that Feng Yuanwai casually agreed, and his heart blossomed. happily returned to the side house where he lived in Feng's house.
Zhu Sheng finished his errand in the house, and returned to the side room of the two of them with the Qian family one after another.
Zhu Sheng returned to the room tiredly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law Qian, sitting alone on the couch and secretly pursing her lips.
Zhu Sheng was puzzled, wondering if his daughter-in-law Qian had fallen into some evil, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Qian's arm, and asked quickly: "Old woman, this black light is blinding, sitting on the edge of the bed alone and being stupid, almost blinded me." ”
Zhu Sheng said, and hurriedly lit a candle on the table.
Zhu Sheng looked back at his daughter-in-law Qian's face by the faint candlelight, and he was still so happy, and he didn't know what good things he had encountered.
Zhu Sheng saw that Qian didn't pay attention to his words, so he deliberately picked up the candlestick again, and by the candlelight, shook it in front of Qian's eyes, and said, "It's weird, this shouldn't be some evil, right?" Why was it okay when I congratulated the old lady on her birthday just now, but now why is she suddenly stupid?! ”
"You're stupid!" Hearing Zhu Sheng say this, Qian came back to his senses from the fantasy of money, and he said a good word to Zhu Sheng.
Zhu Sheng heard Qian scolding himself, so he relieved himself and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, people are not stupid!" ”
Zhu Sheng casually put the candlestick back on the table in the room.
I was just about to get up and change my clothes, but I heard Qian beckoning: "Don't be busy changing your clothes first, come here, I have something to tell you!" ”
Zhu Sheng changed his clothes disapprovingly, and responded: "What's the matter, God is mysterious!" ”
Zhu Sheng was afraid of guilt, and without waiting for Qian's glare, he obediently went to Qian's side, pricked up his ears, and waited to listen to the "important things" in Qian's mouth.
The Qian family pulled Zhu Sheng closer and whispered: "Do you know that I was at the old lady's birthday banquet today, but I heard about a big event!" ”
"What's the big deal?" Zhu Sheng slipped his shoes while dealing with the Qian family.
"Among the dignitaries and nobles who came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday today, there is a Jiupin county official who came all the way from the imperial city, and when the county official was talking to our Feng Yuanwai, I faintly heard the name 'Zhu'er' on the side! I heard that Fu'er has now not only become the daughter of Pingxi Hou, but also a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and has won the emperor's favor and affection. ”
Before Qian's words were finished, Zhu Sheng asked in surprise, "What?!" Embellishment?! Did you hear it wrong. It's not for nothing that the world is called by this name. Where is the coincidence that it is the one we know. What's more, the girl we adopted is an orphan, where did he come from? ! Don't misidentify the wrong person! ”
Qian continued: "I thought the same way as you, but I listened carefully and carefully, and it didn't matter if I didn't listen carefully, as soon as I listened carefully, I was more convinced from the words of the county magistrate that the child he said should be the one we once adopted did not run away!" ”
Seeing that the Qian family's words were firm, Zhu Sheng was a little crazy, sighed and said: "Even if you want to get rich and go crazy, you can't deceive yourself, right?!" Oh, I heard that the daughter of the Hou Mansion is also called the girl, so I just think that the person is the one we adopted before, and there are many people with the same name and surname as me that day, is it possible that you are not the same? ”
Qian raised his hand and slapped Zhu Sheng, "I'm serious!" Let me ask you, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion that you sold back then, but the famous 'Drunken Spring Building' in Huaicheng? ”
Zhu Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"I heard from the magistrate of the imperial city today, there are a lot of rumors about that Fu'er in the imperial city, saying that the daughter of the Hou Mansion once lived in Fireworks Lane, and the place where she sold herself happened to be in the Zuichun Building in Huaicheng. Moreover, Nazhi County also said that the daughter of Nahou Mansion once secretly escaped from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and after that, she was taken in by the King of Annan and placed in the palace of the King of Annan. Combined with the conversation between Feng Yuanwai and Nazhi County, the approximate age of the daughter of the Hou Mansion mentioned is exactly the same as the age of the child we adopted before. Therefore, I am sure that the daughter of the Hou Mansion who was favored in front of the emperor is the orphan girl in the countryside that we adopted before! Qian said with some excitement.
Zhu Sheng saw that Qian said that he had a nose and eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the child is really the daughter of the Hou Mansion?!" ”
"Oh my God! We actually sold the daughter of the Hou Mansion to a place like Zuichun Mansion for a little profit before. What a sin, what a sin! Zhu Sheng didn't think that the embellishment who was sold into the Qinlou Chu Pavilion by himself before turned out to be the daughter of the Hou Mansion and the people.
Zhu Sheng thought of Fang Cai's own daughter-in-law Qian's stupid appearance, and heard about Fu'er's current identity, and couldn't help but ask his daughter-in-law Qian: "Do you want to see that child is now developed, and you want to go to the Hou Mansion, or can't you find Fu'er to blackmail money?" ”
Zhu Sheng understood his daughter-in-law Qian's habit of opening her eyes when she saw Qian, and had to remind Qian not to use the fact that she had adopted a child to go to the Hou Mansion to ask for money.
Qian said: "You and I are as stupid as you!" You don't use your brains to think about it, we treated the girl like that before, and sold the girl to that kind of place, the people of the Hou Mansion would not be bad if they didn't trouble the two of us, where else could they get any oil and water from it! ”
"Then looking at your smug expression, what are you holding back your thoughts?" Zhu Sheng didn't believe that Qian didn't have any thoughts on this matter.
"You have said this, how can there be any reason not to accept the wealth that falls from the sky! It's just that if we want to get rich through this thing, we have to change the way. ”
The more Qian said, the more confused Zhu Sheng became, and his face was puzzled.
Qian smiled and groaned, "I heard that the current queen mother is very opposed to the emperor's favor of Fu'er, and now the rumors of the unfavorable status of the emperor among the people of the imperial city are spreading again, and everyone knows it." If the Queen Mother wants to hold on to the handle of the Emperor and exert pressure on the emperor to force the emperor to give up the Emperor, she will inevitably send someone to collect evidence about the unbearable past. And the two of us are the best witnesses, and they will also be the best weapons for the Queen Mother to get rid of the embellishment. I believe that as long as we take the initiative to explain this matter to the Queen Mother and confirm that the rumors in the market are true, we will definitely get a lot of benefits from it. Perhaps, the two of us can make a lot of money with the help of this incident, and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and we will no longer have to work as a helper under the noses of others. ”
