"Then he has to be an ordinary person, right?"

While Bishui was talking, the servants of King Zhao's Mansion led them to the other rooms.

Bi Shui's voice was so soft that only the few closest to her could hear it. Among them were Zhang Changle and Madame Chiang.

"Mrs. Shiko doesn't know what's going on outside. If she knew, she wouldn't have looked at Zhu Hou like this. Madame Jiang said: "Since Marquis Zhu was reused by the emperor, those corrupt officials in our court have been miserable. Who are the people they are most afraid of right now? I'm afraid that it is this Lord Zhuhou who looks like a god in the sky and always has a gentle surface. ”

"It's true that I rarely ask about those things in the court. We won't say anything when we come back. Chu Yuqin said: "It turns out that our Brother Zhu is so majestic!" ”

"Recently, Second Brother Zhu has also found a half-official position. Speaking of which, the two brothers are quite funny. Once Second Brother Zhu wore a blue coat and looked very much like Zhu Hou. The officials in the court regarded him as Zhu Hou, and said it with a strange sarcasm. With Zhu Hou's temperament, he either ignored it or fought back with lip language, but do you know what Second Brother Zhu did? Madame Chiang said.

"Then you have to ask Changle. She and Second Brother Zhu are close friends, and they know his character best. Bishui touched Zhang Changle next to him.

Zhang Changle glanced at Bishui, blushed and said, "He has always been unable to hold his breath, but he is afraid that he will draw his sword directly." ”

"At that time, where did the sword come from? But it's pretty much the same. Second Brother Zhu kicked over directly, and that old man is still lying down! Someone played him because of this matter, and the emperor also took it lightly and didn't deal with him much. Everyone said that these two brothers were the most important people in the emperor now. If it weren't for some heinous crime, I am afraid that it would not be able to shake their position. ”

"Is the old minister usually annoying?" Chu Yuqin asked.

"Probably right?" Mrs. Jiang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know any of this either. I didn't listen to the one at home who came back to say it. I was so happy ...... at the time."

"By the way, Mrs. Jiang, have you been taking the medicinal diet recipe I wrote for you recently?" Chu Yuqin saw that someone was looking over and changed the topic.

Madame Jiang nodded lightly, her face gloomy.

"Maybe my body really can't do it, right? Thank you, Mrs. Shizi, for your heart for me. I also saw it. There is no time in life, and there is no time. ”

The old lady in front of her stopped and said to everyone, "Ladies, just wait here for a while. Someone will come and ask you later. All you have to do is tell us the truth. ”

"Okay." Bishui said: "But please tell King Zhao or Princess Zhao that we have been delayed here for a long time." I want to go back sooner. You'll have to hurry up and investigate. ”

"It's nature. The county lord can rest assured. The old lady said, "You are all nobles, and we dare not neglect you in our house." ”

Soon after the old lady left, the servants of the Zhaowang Mansion brought them snacks and tea.

"It's a snack again." Bishui complained. "We've been here for so long, and we've been eating these cold snacks. I don't have anyone who wants to eat hot. ”

"Who's to say no? Isn't the tea hot? Chu Yuqin poured her a cup of tea. Don't complain. When something like this happened, the saddest thing was Princess Zhao. ”

"Mrs. Shizi is still too simple." Madame Chiang said vaguely.

When the others looked over, she stopped talking.

"Madame Jiang, what does this mean?" Chu Yuqin asked.

"I just think that Mrs. Shizi should not look at things at the surface. In the back house, the person you look innocent and harmless, who knows what role she plays? Madame Chiang sighed lightly. Of course, I am not aiming at Princess Zhao, but from my own experience. ”

"It's not so easy to get to the bottom of it. First of all, the origin of the hairpin, if it is really so easy to find out, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems. Secondly, the acupuncture technique is not something that can be practiced in a day or two. But which of the women present did not work as a female worker? Since you have to be a female worker, who can tell if it is an injury caused by being a female worker or practicing acupuncture? ”

"It's not something we worry about." Zhang Changle said: "We just need to sit here quietly. ”

"That's right." Blue Water Road. "Let's have a snack! There is no steaming meal, but it is better than being hungry. After this incident, I am afraid that we will not dare to participate in all kinds of banquets in the future. Even if we participated, we had to stay away. ”

"By the way, Mrs. Shizi, why didn't I see your sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, today?" Madame Chiang said.

Chu Yuqin said lightly: "She's busy!" ”

"Isn't it the Jiang family's affairs that make her very embarrassed? But also, whoever has such a big brother will be uncomfortable. Mrs. Jiang said: "That Jiang eldest prince really doesn't know what he is thinking, originally the Jiang family still had a little bit of power, but he made it so ruined. ”

"What's wrong with the Jiang family?" Su Huiniang asked.

"The eldest young master of the Jiang family is a well-known scoundrel. Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling can do anything. A good Jiang family has been defeated by him. Mrs. Jiang said: "Mrs. Shizi, don't let your Lingguo Mansion be entangled by him. Otherwise, you will receive it. ”

"I'm afraid it's not something we can be alienated if we want to." Chu Yuqin spoke. "After all, it's an in-laws, can we still kick him out when he comes to the door? Now the Lingguo Mansion is in charge of my house again. If such a thing really happens, tomorrow it will be publicized by their Jiang family everywhere, saying that I have occupied the family business of the Ling Guo Mansion. ”

"You're not going to do anything to make people bother, are you?" Su Huiniang knew Chu Yuqin too well.

From her words, she heard a different message.

"Does borrowing money count?" Chu Yuqin smiled dryly.

"How much did you borrow?" Zhang Changle, Su Huiniang, Bi Shui and Mrs. Jiang asked at the same time.

Chu Yuqin gestured a word.

"One hundred taels?" Zhang Changle guessed. "That's fine."

"Impossible." Su Huiniang said: "According to what you say, this surnamed Jiang is a bottomless pit. How could she only open her mouth for a hundred taels of silver? ”

Hearing Su Huiniang say this, everyone looked at her again.

Chu Yuqin picked up the teacup next to him: "Guess again." ”

"A thousand taels?" Madame Chiang asked.

"It won't be 10,000 taels, will it?" Su Huiniang and Bi Shui spoke at the same time.

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time: "Are you crazy? ”

Zhang Changle swallowed his saliva: "Is Mrs. Shizi so wealthy?" ”

"You've known her for so long, don't you know she's rich?" Bishui asked rhetorically. The people in the capital called her the God of Wealth, and also said that the Lingguo Mansion married a God of Wealth. You tell me? ”

"But 10,000 taels of silver weren't taken out casually, was it? Aren't those who do business called profiteers? Since he is a profiteer, how can he come up with 10,000 taels of silver so easily? Zhang Changle said.

"It also depends on who this profiteer is." Su Huiniang said: "For an atmospheric profiteer who rewards his subordinates with as much as 1,000 taels of silver every month, it is very possible to lend 10,000 taels. ”
