Chapter 425: Benefits
In the past, he only had to follow his master and be a follower, but now the main task seems to be to protect this concubine.
When the sky was dark, Ming Xuanze put on an iron mask, rode out of the city alone, rode a high-headed horse out of the city, and left the capital all the way.
Until late at night, Gu Feiyan still didn't feel sleepy, for some reason, she always felt as if something was about to happen.
——General's Mansion——
Lu Chuxuan came back in a very low-key manner, so that many people didn't know that she was back except for the subordinates guarding the door, and even the car was made of ordinary brocade and was very inconspicuous.
The first thing Lu Chuxuan did when she came back was not to go to Ye Wanli, but to Aunt Shen's small courtyard.
After the maid's report, Aunt Shen warmly welcomed Lu Chuxuan into the house, "Niangniang, why don't you say a word to me when you come here, I'll pick you up early." ”
Aunt Shen chatted with Lu Chuxuan familiarly, and hurriedly urged the maid to serve tea.
She has now lost Ye Wanli's favor, if she is more public, she is afraid that it will be her own embarrassment, Lu Chuxuan is very uneasy and willing, she blames Gu Feiyan, if it weren't for her, Ye Wanli would not be so indifferent to herself.
"Aunt Shen, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, so there is no need to say polite words." Lu Chuxuan unceremoniously poured herself a cup of tea, and touched the wall of the cup with the edge of the porcelain cup, making a crisp sound.
"I know, you can't get used to Gu Feiyan, why can she, a slut, be mixed up now, I came back today to discuss with you how to deal with her." Lu Chuxuan got straight to the point and directly stated her purpose.
"Second Miss, I'm just a woman's family, thinking about living a free life for two days, I don't have the intention to participate in these." Aunt Shen looked embarrassed and put on a posture of indisputability.
Lu Chuxuan sneered secretly, who is it for, Aunt Shen's thoughts, she doesn't know yet, Aunt Shen has always been a person who can't afford to be profitable, and the reason why she said this is just because she wants to promise her some benefits.
At the beginning, this Aunt Shen bullied Gu Feiyan a lot when she was not married, but later Gu Feiyan got married, and she was a little afraid of her identity, but she couldn't change her, if you want to say that this old guy will change his ways, who will believe it!
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to involve her mother, where would she come to talk to her about these things, and if something goes wrong in the future, she will be blamed on her head.
"Aunt Shen, if I remember correctly, there is a blind brother in your hometown in the countryside who has never married a wife, right?" Since Lu Chuxuan came to find Aunt Shen, how could she not be prepared, before this, she had taken care of everything.
"Niangniang, you ......" Aunt Shen blinked, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.
"If Gu Feiyan's fate satisfies me, then your younger brother won't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law, and I will also give you a large sum of silver, so that you can go away with your family, isn't it better than looking at people's faces in the General's Mansion?" Lu Chuxuan's expression gradually moved when she looked at Aunt Shen, she knew that Aunt Shen was tempted.
In fact, for so many years, Aunt Shen's life in the General's Mansion has not been easy, and she often has to look down at the faces of the wives, and at the same time, Lu Chuxuan knows that Aunt Shen is a very urban woman, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in the General's Mansion for so many years unscathed.
You must know that the women in the deep mansion are no less than those jealous lords in the harem, and there are countless examples of today's glory and tomorrow's defeat.
Aunt Shen pondered for a moment, her expression became strange, "If Niangniang wants to deal with Concubine Chen, it's not impossible. ”
Lu Chuxuan asked, her eyes lit up, and she leaned her head closer to Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen whispered a few words in her ear, and Lu Chuxuan, who listened, nodded with satisfaction, this Aunt Shen is really scheming.
At the same time, Prime Minister Ye Wanli had just gotten off the morning court and sat in the sedan chair back home.
Today, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, Ye Wanli sat in the sedan chair and opened the curtain to watch the people outside stop and go, feeling extremely comfortable, unconsciously humming a little song, obviously in a good mood.
However, Ye Wanli was not happy for a while, and the sedan chair suddenly stopped when he passed through a small alley.
"What people?! Dare to stop the general's sedan chair, what a big boldness! "I just heard the coachman shout.
Ye Wanli poked his head out with some confusion and found a team of men in black blocking in front of his people.
"General, the Queen Mother is invited." A man in black at the head took out a token from his bosom.
Ye Wanli recognized it at a glance, the token was only held by royal people, and immediately confirmed the identity of the other party.
Ye Wanli remembered that he had only been in the palace for a few days, so what was the matter with the queen looking for him this time?
The thinking of living in officialdom for a long time made Ye Wanli quickly conclude that this queen mother, eighty percent of them have something to ask for.
The most luxurious restaurant in the capital, named Lanyue Xuan, specially receives some princes and nobles on weekdays, and the decoration inside is also magnificent, no worse than the palace, and the people who can come here are either rich and rich, or they are all sergeants and celebrities.
Ye Wanli entered a place that was not unfamiliar at all, and was guided to an excellent upper room on the top floor, this upper room may not be able to cover it no matter how much money is spent on weekdays, even Ye Wanli is very curious about this, but he didn't expect such a place to be directly contracted by the Queen Mother.
The decoration in the house is extremely gorgeous, the decoration of gold wire curtains, jade bead curtains can be seen everywhere, and even the tables, chairs and benches are made of pure white jade, even those who do not know how to do it seem to know that it is worth a lot.
The Queen Mother sat in the room with some apprehension, and waited for a long time before a person slowly walked out from behind the golden screen, with a slender figure and a face like jade.
Ye Wanli got up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by the Queen Mother with a gesture.
"Brother, the mourning family won't sell anything to you, and I invited you here today for Lu Chuxuan."
"That, Queen Mother, you also know that there was a lot of uproar in that matter...... Ye Wanli only felt that her head was big, and when she mentioned Lu Chuxuan, she really lost her old face.
"Brother misunderstood, the mourning family is not hostile to Lu Chuxuan, and the mourning family also understands your current situation."
When Ye Wanli heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Presumably my brother also knows that in the current situation in the imperial court, our side is weak, if my brother is willing to let Lu Chuxuan as the downline of the mourning family's forces, after the matter is completed, when my Ye family becomes a great treasure, you will definitely be indispensable." The Queen Mother's words were very straightforward, which made Ye Wanli stunned.
