Chapter 7 Holding Power

Updated: 2014-04-02

Leng Shuang has been learning martial arts outside all the year round, visiting various major sects, and either not talking or going straight to the point, so when Qin Yunuan was still slightly stunned, Leng Shuang looked at Man'er's back and said: "It looks pretty good, no wonder my brother is so concerned." ”

Leng Shuang's brother Leng Wu has been responsible for Qin Yunuan's safety before Leng Shuang came, and it is understandable that he can intersect with Man'er, but listening to Leng Shuang's tone, it seems that this Leng Wu is not interesting to Man'er for a day or two.

"Your brother ...... him?" Qin Yunuan slowly tasted the sweet and delicious mung bean soup while deliberately prolonging the tone.

"My brother?" It's rare for Leng Shuang to say so much, "Although my brother is only General Leng's personal guard, he also has an official position, and the sword guard of the sixth grade should be worthy of the third young grandmother and your maid." ”

Poof, Qin Yunuan swallowed the mung bean soup in his mouth violently, where is this called worthiness, it is simply called Gao Pan.

Qin Yunuan never thought that Leng Wu also had an official position, she always thought that Leng Wu was just the best one among the eighteen shadow guards around Leng Changxi, so when Qin Yunuan was not yet ranked, a sixth-grade official in the court was actually sent by her at will, protecting her for twelve hours a day?

For the "straightforward" question of cold frost, Qin Yunuan chose to cleverly bring it through, and after a while, he had already arrived at the gate of King Ning's mansion, and the little maid at the door saw that it was the carriage of the third young grandmother, and he came over to help lead the reins of the horse and the wooden steps.

didn't take a few steps, and saw Qingzhu beside Princess Ning coming over: "The third young grandmother is back, it just so happened that the princess has prepared good wine and good food in Duweiju, tonight the princess went out of the house as a guest, the princess didn't think it was pleasant to eat alone, so she invited the third young grandmother and the third young master to go over together." ”

Princess Ning likes the family to be lively and lively, which everyone in Ning Wangfu knows, but this invitation, Qin Yunuan always feels that there is something else behind this, but when she heard that Leng Changxi also went with her, those nervous emotions seemed to have subsided a little.

When Qin Yunuan arrived at Duwei Residence, there were already two columns of maidservants standing outside the house who were ready to be sent at any time, and the first dish had just been served, it was a tomato beef, Leng Changxi loved beef the most, and this dish was also a delicacy that Leng Changxi never got tired of.

"Yo, this is the third brother and sister here." In the room, a young voice like a crisp bell directly hit Qin Yunuan's eardrums, this voice, as soon as you hear it, you can hear it is sister-in-law Ruan Ruyi, thinking that Qin Yunuan rejected Ruan's request at noon yesterday, but now Ruan Ruyi's voice sounds like there is no blame or dislike, Qin Yunuan frowned slightly, and the little maid guarding the door lifted the green curtain to let Qin Yunuan in, as soon as she entered the room, Qin Yunuan regained a gentle and peaceful smile.

"It turns out that the sister-in-law is also here," Qin Yunuan saw Ruan Ruyi who was stuck to her body and refused to let go at first glance, and then turned her head, "Aunt Tang is also here." ”

Aunt Tang was silent, just nodded, but put on the appearance of an elder, which was completely different from the flattering appearance yesterday morning.

Princess Ning sat upright, with a set of delicate silver tableware in front of her, from chopsticks to spoons, and even a set of more than 100 tools specially prepared for eating hairy crabs today were made of all silver, and the handles were engraved with small lifelike plum blossoms, and the hollow shape was very three-dimensional and beautiful.

Aunt Tang used to be very envious of this set of utensils, but unfortunately this is the unique tableware in this world that King Ning specially found for Princess Ning, and she only has the share of envy in vain, who calls someone a wife, she is just a concubine, and only the concubine listens to the words of the main room on weekdays, but today it is ......

Aunt Tang turned her head to look at Qin Yunuan, now Leng Changxi hasn't come yet, looking at this Qin Yunuan's thin eyebrows and delicate appearance, she should be a concubine who can't be hard in her bones, Aunt Tang thought like this, and opened her mouth without concealment: "The prince is not in the house tonight, I thought that my sister was eating alone and lonely, so I brought Ruyi to accompany me, which is like the third young grandmother, you, who have been busy working outside all day, and I don't know what you are busy doing." ”

Qin Yunuan didn't tell Princess Ning in advance when she went out this time, just because Leng Changxi directly gave Qin Yunuan a jade card in the morning, and with that jade card, she could freely enter and leave the palace, besides, Qin Yunuan only suspected that the account books of the three shops were fake at first, and she had not checked the accounts to confirm it, so she didn't dare to mention it to Princess Ning rashly.

"I didn't accompany my mother more, it was Yu Nuan's fault, but the mother gave three shops to Yu Nuan before, Yu Nuan didn't dare to live up to her mother's trust, and wanted to go to see it on the spot today, but Yu Nuan was negligent." Qin Yunuan blessed Princess Ning slightly, meaning that she was also telling Aunt Tang that if she wanted to apologize, no matter what she did wrong, she just recognized Princess Ning, a mother-in-law, and apologized to Princess Ning alone, what was she worrying about as a concubine of King Ning's mansion.

Princess Ning smiled gently: "Where do I blame you, it's just that I ran out on this hot day, worried that your body would not be able to bear it." After that, he asked the maid to serve Qin Yunuan a bowl of rock sugar pear soup to relieve the heat, "Try it, this example was picked from the manor on the outskirts of our palace and sent it directly, it is very fresh." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled sweetly, thanked him again and again, and picked up the small spoon to prepare a good product, but who expected Princess Ning to speak again: "Wait, come, use me this." ”

Princess Ning pointed to the small silver soup spoon she had never used before, and her smile became more and more kind and compassionate.

This move made Ruan Ruyi and Aunt Tang slightly stunned, Princess Ning was obviously showing her protection and preference for Qin Yunuan, and it was also hinting to them that it was best to make fewer small movements, for a moment, Tang looked at Princess Ning's somewhat unfathomable eyes and even felt that in fact, Princess Ning in her bones was an extremely shrewd and intelligent person, but when she looked at Princess Ning's innocent and innocent smile, this idea was instantly dispelled.

"Thank you, Princess." Qin Yunuan took the spoon very respectfully, pinched the delicate handle and scooped half a spoonful of rock sugar pear, the entrance was cool, and it was really a treasure to relieve the heat.

Princess Ning smiled with satisfaction, looked at Aunt Tang again, and suddenly realized: "By the way, sister, didn't you say that you had something important to tell me when you came just now?" also said that it was related to Yu Nuan, and now that Yu Nuan is also here, it is better to say it directly. ”

Qin Yunuan smiled slightly when she heard this, and her tone was expectant and kind: "Yes, Aunt Tang has something to say directly, if there is anything that Yu Nuan does not do well, Yu Nuan will definitely change it." ”

Princess Fang Cai Ning and Qin Yunuan have been so close, and Princess Ning's preference for Qin Yunuan has also reached such a point, how can Aunt Tang still say it, Aunt Tang was embarrassed, and pinched Ruan Ruyi fiercely in private.

Ruan Ruyi knew that he had been pushed in front of the fire pit again, but he had to jump, and plucked up his courage and said, "It's still about the three shops in the east of the city." ”

Princess Ning's face turned cold: "What else is there to say, I have already handed it all over to Yu Nuan." ”

"It is precisely because it was handed over to the third brother and sister that there was such a big thing this afternoon," Ruan Ruyi hurriedly continued, "Mother, don't you know, the third brother and sister are really resolute in doing things today, she went directly to the shop at noon, and changed the shopkeeper without saying a word, and caused the guys in the shop to make trouble, saying that they didn't want to stay in the embroidery village to work." ”

Qin Yunuan pursed her lips and smiled, she had long expected that Aunt Tang and Ruan Ruyi's eyes had been staring at the three shops: "Sister-in-law's news is really well-informed, what happened at noon, sister-in-law knows so clearly." ”

Princess Ning raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yu Nuan, is this true?" ”

Qin Yunuan's eyes slowly glanced at Ruan Ruyi and Aunt Tang, and saw that there was a kind of pleasure in their eyes waiting for Qin Yunuan to deny it and then come up with more evidence to crush her, Qin Yunuan simply replied bluntly: "Mother, this is true." ”

Princess Ning owed, but she didn't continue to speak, as if she was waiting for Qin Yunuan to continue.

"It's such a concubine," Qin Yunuan calmly explained all the details of the day, and then bowed slightly, "If the concubine doesn't believe it, Yunuan has already brought those account books back to the mansion, and you can check them slowly, and the concubine will know how much profit the three shops hide, and naturally she will understand why the sister-in-law and Aunt Tang are so concerned about the three shops that can only barely make a profit, and they want to ask for it three times and twice." ”

It's not that Qin Yunuan spoke too bluntly and viciously, it's just that she has always known Princess Ning's attitude towards Aunt Tang and Ruan Ruyi, and she must also make her attitude very clear, so as not to provoke Ruan Ruyi's behavior yesterday, and more importantly, she always remembers Leng Changxi's reminder and stays away from the people in Leng Chang'an's room.

"Look at what the third brother and sister said," Ruan Ruyi smiled awkwardly, "How do we know how the real profit of that shop is, we just think that the three shops are also on display, it is better to take them over and run them well, and it can be regarded as adding some light to the palace." ”

"Good business?" Qin Yunuan said with a smile, "The real situation of these three shops is not just a state of good management, but a daily income, not at all the situation that is reported to the palace to barely survive, mother, the account book is outside, if you want to see it, I can take it in immediately." ”

Princess Ning put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "You mean, the three shopkeepers I sent to take charge of the shop filled their pockets and let the fat and water flow into their own pockets?" ”

Qin Yunuan also nodded very seriously: "Yes." ”

Princess Ning was so angry that her face turned red: "It's really too much, I don't know if there are more places for other people in the mansion to deduct and embezzle ink." ”

When Princess Ning said this, Qin Yunuan obviously felt Aunt Tang tremble violently.
