Chapter 114: Blatant Bullying
Royal secrets have always been talked about by the public, but some secrets are unknown and annihilated in the long river of history.
Thinking back a few months ago, Jiang Yang told him with great interest that he wanted to find a girl named Nan Jinyu to be a concubine, so he sent his subordinates to do this, who knew that those fools were making trouble and lost people, not to mention, they were still alive and were picked up by Xiao Chen!
Now Jiang Yang saw that although he didn't care much about this matter, he knew very well in his heart that whether it was used to hold Xiao Chen hostage or for other reasons, Jiang Yang was thinking about that girl......
"It's a pity, Butterfly has been hungry for a while."
Nan Xuanxuan's face was displeased, but he slowly withdrew the faint green light in his palm, and his peach-colored sleeves moved slightly, and he waved the medicine man away.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince! Thank you for the grace of Concubine De for not killing! In the future, the folk girl will be the saddle before and after the horse, for the two of you to serve the dog and horse! ”
Zhu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt on the ground obediently, his eyes full of eagerness and excitement.
"Look at this mouth, sweet yo ......"
Nan Xuanxuan glanced at the prince faintly, and saw that he didn't look at Zhu Lingxi at all, his face softened a little, but he still didn't have a good face to look at.
Mother has always been cautious in doing things, why didn't people like the Zhu family deal with it in time, and sure enough, they are more and more benevolent women when they get older!
"Don't you always say that you don't have a person to take care of in the palace? Ming'er, I will send someone to the Imperial Medical Department to say hello, and I will reward a group of medical women to serve you, so that you don't need to suffer personally in the future. ”
Xiao Jue looked at Nan Xuanxuan, with a gentle smile and concern, completely different from the prince who fights cocks and lackeys on weekdays, he is affectionate and righteous, and does not love the country and the beauty!
"It's okay, such a smart and clever little girl is more worry-free than the few pieces of wood around me now."
Nan Xuanxuan fiddled with her nails and hooked her fingers at Zhu Lingxi.
"Niangniang calls the people's daughter?"
Zhu Lingxi was slightly surprised, and immediately kneeled to her feet, always maintaining a low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, not daring to look up for half a minute.
"Eat it, and you will be a member of this palace in the future."
Nan Xuansheng stretched out his hand, and there was a red pill lying in his palm, with a mellow aroma and scarlet color, like a cinnabar mole born in his palm.
"This ......"
Zhu Lingxi glanced at the medicine man outside the hall, and his eyelids jumped suddenly.
Although she has been studying medicine for some days, she can't tell the difference between the preparation of prescriptions just by looking at and smelling, and can only use some ordinary step-by-step prescriptions.
"Huh? Don't want to? That ......"
"Yes! The folk girl is willing! ”
Zhu Lingxi noticed the killing intent flashing in Nan Xuanxi's eyes, and hurriedly snatched the pill in her palm, swallowed it as soon as she raised her hand, almost choked, swallowed it with difficulty, and sweated on her back.
"Okay, the interest is gone, the palace will go back first, you can go with me."
Nan Xuanxuan stood up lazily, and the hand holding her stomach had a strange luster, which did not seem to hide her figure.
"Yes! The folk girl waits for the mother to return to the palace. ”
Zhu Lingxi hurriedly bowed down to help her, the excitement and worry in her heart were mixed, complicated and excited.
thought that she was struggling in this deep palace, and it was not easy to get a place, but she didn't want God to favor her, and it was not hopeless for her to soar in the future......
Nancheng Baihua Lane.
The eunuch who was not in a good position in the palace had already hid and made a shrunken turtle at the moment, anyway, the box carried back by the Praetorian Guards was empty, and the people inside had disappeared.
When the news came from the palace, it was already the middle of the night, and the main courtyard was brightly lit, and a thin figure in a white robe stood in front of the oil lamp, with strange excitement in his eyes.
"Childe, the news has arrived."
The guards outside the door slammed on the door, and their words flashed in hesitation.
I thought that this matter was foolproof, but who knew that those unreliable things in the palace took the money and didn't do anything, and lost people......
Fortunately, Zhongyi Hou just mentioned this matter, and it won't spoil the master's big thing, so I think the one in it won't care too much even if he's not happy, right?
"What about people? Where did you put it? ”
The man in white turned around, wearing an expensive Huainan brocade, but he couldn't hide the scars on his body, and his delicate face was so thin that he was almost out of shape, looking gloomy and weird.
"This ...... The people in the palace are not doing well, and they have lost people! ”
The commander of the guards accompanied the smiling face, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart.
This Xiucai surnamed Dong is just the master's male pet, or a figure on the cusp, when he first came, he cried and grabbed the ground to find death eight times a day, is it only a few days that he is the master?
"Lost? Can such a big living person be lost? A bunch of rubbish! ”
Dong Jialiang said angrily, the palm wind had already arrived in front of the guard commander, but he stopped alive, and his face was a little distorted.
"Childe is angry, after all, the palace is not as good as the outside, no matter how many of our people are in the sky, they can only entrust people to do things, and it is also an accident that the people inside have made mistakes, and their subordinates have sent people to find them, and they will find them back in less than three days!"
The guard commander's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he still had a smile on his face, so polite that he couldn't find anything wrong.
Hou Ye is now spoiling this, they just can't intervene if they want to talk more, and when he falls out of favor one day, he is still a male pet with no two flesh and two flesh, as for how he became a guest of the prince before, I'm afraid only he knows by himself!
"You'd better do what you say, or you'll ......"
Dong Jialiang glanced around the courtyard wall, and the strict security made him can't help but feel cold in his heart, but he can't do anything.
The people from the Prince's Mansion and the Yongning Marquis Mansion were looking for him, and the man said that these people were protecting him, but he knew very well in his heart that he was trapping him under the pretext of protecting him.
A few days ago, that person was in a good mood and let him secretly go back to his home, his mother had a strange illness and spent a lot of money to hire a doctor, and his father angrily scolded Zhu Lingxi for leaving them alone when he learned of his death, and almost killed his mother.
"Don't worry, Childe! We will do our best to complete what Master Hou commanded, and it will be late at night, so let's rest. ”
The commander of the guards said indifferently, and the smile on his face overflowed.
is really a male pet who doesn't know the height of the sky, Hou Ye has not a thousand but eight hundred male pets who have died over the years, why does he think that he can prosper forever?
"Humph!"
Dong Jialiang threw his sleeves back to the room, and after slamming the door, there was a sound of broken vases one after another.
"Cut!"
The commander of the guards walked away with square steps, and the arrogant look on his face was full of disdain.
Outside the wall in the distance, the figure hidden in the darkness moved slightly, and a black shadow turned and disappeared into the night.
Before it was dawn, Nan Jinyu woke up.
She seemed to have talked a lot to Xiao Chen last night, and then fell asleep while talking, and when she opened her eyes again, it was now, and the entire courtyard wall was full of people.
"Are you awake? Don't sleep anymore? ”
Xiao Chen hadn't left yet, the silver figure stood in front of the window, looking like a white jade statue from a distance, no matter how you look at it, it feels perfect.
"No...... So many people out there. ”
Nan Jinyu rubbed her eyebrows, turned over and sat up.
Her courtyard was not as big as the main hall of the Qin Palace, and the shadow guards were just standing in the treetops around the courtyard wall, and the sound of whispering and heartbeat breathing was enough to wake her up, perhaps because of her recent improvement in skills.
"Then after a while they disperse, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll come back later."
Xiao Chen glanced at her, raised his hand and lowered the curtain in front of the window, blocking the view of the exploration outside.
"Okay."
Nan Jinyu responded, yawned and leaned on the couch to look at him, and was not in a hurry to get up.
I don't know what task they did last night, but it seems that it should be very smooth, this demon used to come and leave as soon as he wanted, and now he will actually greet her in advance......
"If Ji Lingfeng comes again......
"I'll let Greenshoots beat him out."
Nan Jinyu bent the corners of her lower lip and answered with a smile.
This old vinegar jar is really a bit of a headache!
"Not necessarily, he doesn't have time to take care of this place for a while, and if he comes, it's something else, and you don't need to pay attention to him."
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, this girl was like a heart-devouring Gu in his stomach, knowing what he wanted to do and what he wanted to say.
"That couldn't be better." Nan Jinyu glanced at him, got on the ground barefoot, and walked in front of him, "The button is broken." ”
"Really?"
Xiao Chen looked down, but what he saw was her side face, her sleepy-eyed eyes with a bit of distraction and ignorance, so cute that she seemed to be in her pocket and taken away.
"A whole row is denied."
Nan Jinyu nodded, unbuttoned his collar one by one, and then rebuttoned it, looking serious as if he had been an old wife for many years.
"Have you been watching me?"
Xiao Chen bent his lower lip, and his crimson lips pursed slightly, afraid that he would not be able to control it for a while, and he would go out and smile too brightly to scare the boys.
"Nope...... I saw it when I raised my eyes. ”
Nan Jinyu flatly denied it, so she wouldn't admit that she had been staring at him since she opened her eyes just now!
"Well, then you happen to be looking in a different position than ordinary people."
Xiao Chen nodded matter-of-factly, mercilessly exposing her lies.
"I'm not...... Got by beauty? ”
Nan Jinyu's face was not red and her heart was not beating, anyway, he was not afraid of being embarrassed, what was there to be afraid of her? Those people outside are still familiar with him, right?
"Ahem, ahem, ......"
Xiao Chen didn't expect her to say this, so she choked directly.
"Alright, go early and come back early."
Nan Jinyu covered her mouth and snickered, turned around and slipped away when he reacted.
On the wall outside the courtyard, some of the people in the corner were forced to cover their mouths and some coughed, what happened to being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food early in the morning? I even ate it with relish!
However, in the middle of the night, the gossip between the Tianqing County Lord and Xiao Chen spread to almost all the shadow guards under him, and the people who didn't see it last time have now heard it with their own ears......
As soon as the sky was bright, someone came to Qingfeng Garden in a hurry.
"County Lord, someone has come to the old lady's side, saying that the old lady is invited."
Tsing Yi stood by the door in a regular manner, slept in the side room in the middle of the night and didn't hear anything, and slept until dawn, probably because he was too tired recently.
"Well, let's go."
Nan Jinyu was not surprised at all, after all, the head of the Nan family took her mother's dowry but didn't wait for her to have a seizure, so she would definitely not be able to sit still.
Today's Nan Jinyu is dressed up a little more grandly, after all, her identity is different, she wore the autumn dress made of moon white silk satin given by the emperor and the head of Nanhu Dongzhu, although the style is simple but very luxurious, and then the holy decree of the palace will be passed on, so naturally it can't be neglected.
It was not close from Qingfeng Garden to Dongnuan Pavilion, and Nan Jinyu was not walking fast, and after the leisurely stroll arrived, there was already a large room of people gathered at the other end.
From the main room to the third room, all the ladies and women who have not left the cabinet have arrived, and the scene is quite big at first glance.
"Jinyu has seen grandmother, elders, ten thousand blessings!"
Nan Jinyu bowed slightly, she is now the county lord, except for the old lady who can accept her half a courtesy, the rest have to bow to her, including the Zhu family.
"I've seen the county lord of Tianqing, the county lord is blessed!"
The crowd saluted unevenly, and their tones and attitudes were mocking, all of them looked like they were waiting to watch the play.
"Jinyu girl, come here, have you been tired these days?"
The old lady waved to Nan Jinyu enthusiastically, as if the previous mustard did not exist at all, and her smiling appearance actually showed a little kindness.
"Grandmother Lao is worried, Jinyu has been fine lately and has not been affected."
Nan Jinyu walked to the position next to the old lady and sat down, her eyes swept to the rows of female dependents at the bottom, and she couldn't help frowning.
It's not just for the excitement of bringing people together, right?
It stands to reason that His Majesty's withdrawal from the marriage was a slap in the face by himself, and he would not want everyone to talk about it, and the old lady would not be so stupid......
"That's good, that's good, just come back!"
The old lady patted the back of Nan Jinyu's hand with a smile, turned her eyes to Zhu on the side, and said, "Didn't you still talk about Jinyu a few days ago?" Why is it that people have come back now and have not said a word? Isn't it worried that Concubine De has forgotten something. ”
"Oh, Mother reminds you! The concubine has something to say to the county lord. ”
Zhu thought about receiving the secret letter from the palace in the morning, and immediately became smiling after hearing the old lady's words, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"I don't know what the Duchess is about?"
Nan Jinyu pretended to be surprised, and took the tea cup in front of her with floating leaves, as if she was smiling and teaching people to scratch her head.
Yesterday, news came out of the palace, saying that His Majesty would issue an order to withdraw the oracle of the marriage of Nan Jinyu and His Royal Highness the King of Qin today, so everyone hurriedly came to see the excitement, and didn't want her to be so indifferent?
"It's still about the repair of the main house, you were not there a few days ago, and the money for the repair of the main house was temporarily used, and then it was really impossible, so you used your mother's dowry after discussion, knowing that you would definitely ...... this matter."
Zhu said cautiously, but the smile in his eyes was almost impossible to hide, and he didn't want to be interrupted by Nan Jinyu.
"How much did you move?"
Nan Jinyu yawned slightly, looking in poor spirits, but her expression did not change much.
"Five thousand taels of silver......
Zhu couldn't figure out what her attitude was, and his heart was a little empty.
Although once this girl is divorced, she can only become the remaining radish for others to choose, but her attitude seems to be fearless, which really makes people angry!
"These five thousand taels of silver, at least it is a lot, but if it is bigger, it is a small matter! The Bai family's dowry is supposed to be the county lord's, but this county lord is the Nan family, and the Nan family should help when they are in trouble, which is also filial piety......"
The Yin family in the third room hurriedly made up for it, and while talking, he glanced at the eldest lady who was holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, and gave her a look.
This silver is moved, and it's not just her three rooms and one family who take it, but when the big house and two rooms are divided, she still doesn't have a soft hand, and the old lady turns a blind eye to this, doesn't she just hope that she made too much trouble before to calm things down?
"The words are ugly and reasonable, the accounts of the repairs are all there, and it cost more than five thousand taels of silver, and the county lord can check it."
The eldest lady said lightly, echoing the meaning of the rest of the people in disguise.
"It's all spent...... Now it's just a notice to me, a few of them are elders, and it's too chilling to use words to pressure one of my juniors. ”
Nan Jinyu sighed, as if there was nothing she could do about it.
A group of black-hearted things are rotten from the bones, no matter how much they whitewash the peace, they can't cover their ugly faces, the left is just torn faces, it's better to simply tear them up!
"What the county lord said, weren't you absent from the house a few days ago? It's not like we'll spread it out as soon as you come back today, and it's not bullying you! ”
Yin Shi pulled a pair of hanging eyes, and the smugness on his face could hardly be hidden.
It's just a broken family that was divorced by the royal family, even if she has the Bai family as a backer, she still has to renegotiate and marry low?
According to Zhu's disgusting face, this Nan Jinyu is finally an ending where her heart is higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper!
"If the county lord is displeased, part of the big house will be paid back separately at the end of the year, although the repair money is large, but we will not be wronged by the county lord."
The eldest lady sighed, and the hand that flicked the Buddha beads paused slightly.
People who are uneasy in their hearts, no matter how much they eat fasting and chanting Buddha, they still can't be at peace, she stood by and contributed to the tragedy, and now she can no longer let them bully a child, that's a sin......
"You, you, you, sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Yin's smug smile immediately froze, with a look of betrayal by the alliance, and he pointed at Mrs. Fa and was speechless for a long time.
She has already spent a thousand taels of silver for each room! Jinxiu is not young, and the dowry has added a lot, how can the fat eaten in it be spit out again?
"It's literal, I took the dowry left to her by the county lord's mother, the county lord is not young, and he is also talking about marriage, and we are still on it at the end of the year, I hope it didn't hurt the child's heart."
The eldest lady glanced at Yin and sneered.
For more than ten years, she has never dared to say half a word of truth, but when people live to this age, they are more and more afraid of retribution......
"Thank you aunt for feeling sorry for Jinyu, in this way, the part of the second and third rooms will be deducted from the dowry of Jinse and Jinxiu, and the profits of this money village will be forgotten, they are all a family, even if the elders give it, Jinyu is embarrassed to accept it."
Nan Jinyu was very careful, although she didn't know why the eldest lady suddenly helped her, but she wrote down this intention.
