Chapter 8: Confrontation (1)
Luo Jiachen gasped.
The original Luo Jiachen was a stupid girl who couldn't read a single word, so she could only hide it now anyway, otherwise it would expose her medical skills, and Mrs. Hou's old witch would not be able to get rid of her as a ghost!
Seeing that the threat had worked, Feng Lingxi took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into Luo Jiachen's hand, "This place is so broken, even drinking tea pierces your tongue, and you feel uncomfortable." ”
After that, Feng Lingxi left without looking back.
This 100 taels of silver tickets is just pocket money for the prince, but it is a huge amount of money for the current Luo Jiachen, so she will not be unable to get along with the money, and she has temporarily forgiven Feng Lingxi for trespassing on the house.
It was getting late, Luo Jiachen and Linglong had some dinner casually, and after freshening up, they fell asleep peacefully with the silver ticket.
Compared with Luo Jiachen's good night's sleep, Mrs. Yongchanghou didn't sleep so steadily.
After knowing that the medicine was given by Tao Ruan, Mrs. Hou made arrangements as soon as possible, even so it would be implicated in the Yongchang Hou Mansion, after all, Tao Ruan didn't think too much about it when she did things, and she exposed too many horses, it was not easy to get rid of her suspicions, and then it was up to Feng Lingxi to give the Yongchang Hou Mansion a few thin faces.
Sure enough, early in the morning, Feng Lingxi came to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Seeing that the person who came was the son of the world, the little guy guarding the door just called out "the son of the world", and Feng Lingxi directly pushed it away, "Get out!" ”
The little guy also knew the prestige of the prince, even if he broke in, he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only quickly get up and report to Mrs. Hou.
At this moment, Mrs. Hou had just finished breakfast and was wiping her hands, when she saw the little maid running in on a rampage, and knelt down with a plop, "Husband, madam, it's not good......
Mrs. Yongchang frowned, "Frizzy, what kind of system!" ”
"No, it's not, the prince is here, it's almost to the living room at this time, and the slave can't stop it."
Mrs. Hou was shocked in her heart, and then said without changing her face: "I know, I ordered to go down, make good tea for the prince, be steady, and don't let the prince see the joke." ”
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the servant withdrew.
Tao Ruan, who was on the side, heard that the prince was coming, his eyes were full of joy, and he grabbed Mrs. Hou's hand and said excitedly: "Mother, let's go to the living room!" ”
Mrs. Hou's eyes were sharp, and she said solemnly: "The prince must have come today for the events of that day, you honestly go back to the house and stay, in case you show your feet in front of the prince, I can't protect you!" ”
After being reminded by Mrs. Hou, Tao Ruan remembered what he had done, and although he was unwilling, he obediently returned to his courtyard.
After all, it is more important to save your life than to see the prince.
After carefully arranging her clothes, Mrs. Yongchang walked to the meeting room.
Rao is mentally prepared, and Mrs. Hou at this time still has a feeling of facing a great enemy.
I saw Feng Lingxi sitting leisurely on the side, playing with the porcelain cup with tea in her hand, and when she saw Mrs. Yongchanghou coming, she didn't say hello.
Although it has long been the norm for Feng Lingxi to be neither big nor small, Mrs. Hou is still a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she can only greet her with a smile on her face: "The prince came to the Hou Mansion early in the morning, has he ever had breakfast?" ”
Feng Lingxi snorted lightly, "This early spring tea in Jiangnan is really extraordinary, no wonder Uncle Huang cherishes it so much, every time he asks him for this tea, he will buckle the noose." ”
Today's Yongchang Marquis's wife Luo was originally the daughter of the largest tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor liked tea, and the tea merchant naturally had a higher status among the merchants. Even so, the identity of Shangjia's daughter is not worth mentioning among the nobles in the capital, and she can only be a concubine when she marries into the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
However, the original Mrs. Yongchang Hou died in childbirth in the early years, Luo's shrewd speech was pleasing to the people, and won the love of Yongchang Hou and the old lady, and the filial piety period was supported as the main house, and the status of the Luo family in her mother's family naturally rose to the top, so whenever the Jiangnan Luoshi entered Beijing to offer tea, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion could naturally get some excellent tea.
Early spring tea is the first germination of the tea tree after wintering buds and leaves, the tea tree after a winter and spring recuperation, nutrients are sufficient, whether it is nutrition or quality is the top grade, plus it is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, it is one or two thousand gold and has a price, the number of tributes is naturally extremely rare, and it is not surprising that the emperor is stingy.
"The son of the world praised it." Mrs. Hou sat down leisurely, and after the maid finished pouring the tea, she asked, "I don't know what is the urgency of the sudden visit of the prince?" ”
"It's true that there are some things, and I don't like to beat around the bush, so let's bring people up." Feng Lingxi put down the teacup and waved her hand outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, someone came in with a little servant, and as soon as the little guy entered the room, he knelt down with a thud, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Feng Lingxi's tone was cold: "Explain it." ”
"Hui, Hui Shizi Ye and Mrs. Hou, the villain was really instructed, and Cai, Cai put Yin and Yang Acacia in the wine of the Shiziye, and the villain really knew that it was wrong!" The little guy kowtowed as he spoke, and the floor was slammed.
Mrs. Hou pretended to be puzzled and asked, "It's a blessing that the prince caught this drugged person, but why did he bring it to the Hou Mansion?" ”
"He said that it was your Houfu who instructed him to drugged." After Feng Lingxi signaled, the attendant beside him took out a small package from his arms and handed it directly to Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou knew that it must be wrapped in something pointing to the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion, so she opened it after hesitating for a few seconds, only to see that there was a delicate porcelain vase inside, and there was a silver ticket next to it, and the silver ticket was stamped with the four big characters of "Marquis Yongchang's Mansion".
In order to prevent the occurrence of such a thing as privately printed silver tickets disrupting the market, the former dynasty ordered that all money banks must be authenticated by the imperial court, and the ticket number and user must be registered in detail when exchanging and storing the silver bills in circulation; If it is a given money, in order to prevent the wrong issuance, the silver ticket or silver must be stamped with the corresponding seal, for example, Prince Hong's Yulu is stamped with the seal of "Prince Hong's Mansion". Although this provision has flaws, it has also avoided many problems, so it has been used to this day.
Therefore, this silver ticket is stamped with the seal of "Yongchang Marquis Mansion", which clearly shows that it is from Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Hou's face suddenly turned pale, Tao Ruan dared to use such an obvious thing! Even so, Mrs. Hou still tried to calm down, and Chaofeng Lingxi said: "Although this silver ticket is stamped with the seal of the Marquis of Yongchang's mansion, the mansion has to buy it every day, and it is unknown when it will be used. ”
Feng Lingxi had long expected that Mrs. Yongchanghou would say this, and she was not annoyed, and said to the little guy who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, where did this silver ticket come from." ”
