Chapter 339: A Suit of Clothes
When the two women saw her dress, they quickly knelt down, "See the princess, the princess Qian'an!" ”
Tong Xiaowu's head didn't fall, her eyes didn't rise, she turned around and sat on the main seat, and it took a long time before she spoke:
"Stand up, two! Yesterday there was a mess outside my house, I was in a hurry, and I didn't know what to do? I wanted to ask the two, but I didn't want the two to be difficult to invite, so I asked people to go to the house to invite people, but the doorman stopped them, it's really hard to see! ”
"The princess forgives her sins!" Both of them had already stood up, but when they heard this, they quickly knelt down again.
Originally, they came here to give her a horse, but as a result, they were dressed in clothes, so they directly crushed them.
What kind of clothes is that? It is the phoenix crown and the Xia veil, which was personally rewarded by the queen mother, and has the rank and grade of the royal family, even if they are the queen of the soil, they have to give it to the real emperor, the real queen, if they don't give it, people will say a word, maybe their two heads will have to move.
The so-called doing things are based on evidence, if the fault is in this princess, they can still resist to the end, but they can't resist this class division!
Tong Xiaowu looked at the dress of these two people and guessed that the older one should be Qu Boyi's wife Zhao, and the other one who looks pretty good, the younger one should be Qu Boyi, the younger sister of Qu Boyi, the wife of General Zhenbei.
Now no matter the wives of the two officials, Tong Xiaowu is a princess, no matter how old the official of their husband's family is, they have to salute when they see her, and if she comes out in this dress, then they have to make a big salute.
"Xiaohe, write down all today's things, including yesterday's events, didn't the emperor say it? Let King Xuan send a letter to his family every three days, today is the day to write a letter, what happened in these three days, every bit and every drop must be remembered, and all reported to the emperor......"
Tong Xiaowu's eyes were cold, and she looked coldly at the two kneeling in front of her, without the slightest intention of letting them get up.
"The princess forgives her sins, the concubine occasionally felt a cold yesterday, so she came late, I'm really sorry, please forgive the princess!" Mrs. Zhao on the side was the first to react and found a reason for herself.
What else can she say about this reason?
"The princess atoned for her sins, the night before yesterday, the northern underworld came to commit it, and the concubine took her family to meet the enemy, and she was almost injured, so she didn't come to ask for peace, please atone for the princess!" Mrs. Qu also found an excuse, which was obviously one level higher than Mrs. Zhao.
Although the two of them knelt, their tone was not humble at all, and it could be seen that the two of them were also used to being powerful in Beizhou.
"There is no need to ask for sin, and it is not easy for you, but at least you can wear cotton clothes, wear hairpins, and eat food.
In this way, there are many refugees outside, and it is cold weather in Beizhou for half a year, and this cold winter is almost the New Year, so how can you let the people from Beizhou live.
The two of you go back to Zhang Luo and donate 30,000 taels of silver to me, and I will use it for soup soup relief ......."
While speaking, Tong Xiaowu stretched out his hand and looked at his finger, and there was not even a ring on his slender jade finger.
"What, thirty thousand taels? Princess, aren't you robbing? Where are we going to get 30,000 taels? "Mrs. Zhao is cunning and cunning, and she doesn't pull out a dime.
She looked at Tong Xiaowu angrily, the other party raised her eyebrows, looking at her, her eyes were full of fierce expressions, and the maid standing next to her, the pen in her hand was writing quickly, as if she had written down every word she said.
"My dress was also funded by my mother's family three years ago, and the hairpin on my head looks colorful, but it is actually fake, and my husband is well-known for his honesty in Beizhou and even in the imperial court.
The official clothes on his body have been worn for ten years, patches are stacked on patches, and you asked me to take out 30,000 taels of silver, isn't this forcing the two of us to die? We can't take it out! ”
"What a clean official, Xiaohe, have you written it down?" Tong Xiaowu turned her head and asked.
"Write it down, Mrs. Zhao, the prefect of Lord Qu, refused to donate money for the people of Beizhou, and refused on the grounds that Lord Qu was honest!" Xiaohe said loudly, looking at the two women in front of her fiercely with a pair of eyes.
In the past two days with Tong Xiaowu, she already knows what the situation in Beizhou is now? The common people live like this, and they have direct contact with the two biggest officials in the northern state.
"I don't have any money!" Mrs. Qu on the other side also opened her mouth aggrievedly, "The princess is like this, it is really difficult for a strong man, and the court has not paid the military salary for three months......"
As soon as she was halfway through this sentence, Mrs. Zhao on the side pulled her, she covered her mouth in surprise, and refused to say another word.
Tong Xiaowu glanced at Xiaohe, "Write it, the imperial court has not paid for three months!" ”
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute...... Mrs. Qu on the side suddenly shouted, "The concubine said the wrong thing, the military salary of the imperial court is opened, but the situation in Beizhou is special, the cold is abnormal, and the military salary is not enough at all, so you don't need to tell the emperor about this kind of thing, right?" ”
Tong Xiaowu looked at the two of them, knowing that they would not donate easily, and today's matter was just to give them a dismount, and they rode to their necks to be presumptuous.
Yesterday, Trull said that the imperial court's military salary was not enough, and the army had not been paid for three months, and he didn't want to think about it, Xuanyuan Yufeng was the emperor's third prince, how could he not know about his fiefdom?
I'm afraid it's not that the military salary was not paid in March, but that all the military salaries for these three months were filled by him and Qu Boyi, and as for where the money was used, today is an opening.
"Write it down!" Tong Xiaowu turned around and said to Xiaohe on the side.
"Yes!"
"Princess, you are deceiving people too much, you can't ...... like this"
The two women looked at the woman on the upper position, and the previous idea of wanting to destroy her majesty was swept away at this moment.
Although this place is dilapidated, she is a relative of the emperor after all, and if there is no perfect plan, they will not dare to offend her easily.
After all, they are just women, and the battlefield of men is ahead, they are just responsible for coming over to visit the door, listening to the news, and suppressing them by the way, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end?
They don't know that in Tong Xiaowu's dictionary, her life has always been like a battlefield, and she has never pinned her future on men, so waiting for them to come today not only dug a pit for them, but also paved the way for Xuanyuan Yuchen.
These two women didn't come yesterday, but they appeared today, coupled with the attitudes of Qu Boyi and Trull, she already knew what they were coming for? How could she have done what they wanted.
If you want to take her, you have to see if they have the ability!
