Chapter 504: Catch the Outer Room
Princess Jian looked at Xu Qinghuan in surprise, and couldn't understand what Miss Xu meant for a while, but according to Miss Xu's heart, she wouldn't be like this for no reason.
Princess Jane instructed her mother: "I'll go out with Miss Xu, and I'll deal with something when I come back." ”
Princess Jane boarded the carriage.
The carriage of the Xu family turned around and went out of the city.
"Miss," Princess Jane was still wondering as she sat in the car, "where are we going?" ”
Xu Qinghuan's expression was slightly serious, obviously on his mind.
Princess Jian persuaded her: "Miss Xu can tell me anything, our Xie family is in trouble thanks to Miss Xu, I can help, I will definitely do my best." ”
Princess Jane couldn't help but guess when she said, could it be that the little girl was going to get married and was flustered? I couldn't talk to my grandmother and mother, so I came to talk to her, but ...... You don't have to go out of the city.
I heard that the Song family sent a lot of Zhuangzi, and it may be that something happened to the Zhuangzi, Miss Xu was unwilling to ask for help from the Xu family and the Song family, so she called her over to ask, one can solve the problem, and the other can deepen the relationship between the two people.
Princess Jane felt that her guess should be correct.
"I was supposed to do needlework at home and prepare for marriage," Xu Qinghuan pursed his lips and said, "Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, there is still a lot of work at hand that has not been completed." ”
The woman was the busiest before leaving the cabinet, and Princess Jane also knew that after the marriage date was set with her husband's family, she should hide in the boudoir and not go out, which was the greatest respect for her husband's family.
Miss Xu did not take the needle at home, but took her out of the city with her...... Could it be that Miss Xu doesn't know how to do needlework, so she wants to find a few embroidery girls to go to Zhuangzi and ask her to go over to see the craftsmanship of embroidery girls?
Miss Xu chose her because she was kind to her, and she would never say such a shameful thing.
Princess Jian quickly denied her guess, she glanced at Xu Qinghuan, Miss Xu is by no means the kind of rough girl who can't even do her own dowry, a few days ago she also calculated what kind of congratulatory gift to give Miss Xu, her embroidery skills in the house are very good, and she is willing to send some needlework in ordinary times, but think about Miss Xu's smart and capable, these boudoir jobs may not be able to enter Miss Xu's eyes, and now she is ready to choose some calligraphy, paintings and ornaments.
When Princess Jian was guessing, Xu Qinghuan said again: "King Jian's Mansion also has Zhuangzi outside the city, right?" ”
"Yes," Princess Jane said with a smile, "the court rewarded them, and I brought them from my mother's house." ”
"Isn't it easy to buy Zhuangzi outside the city?" Xu Qinghuan then asked.
Princess Jian seemed to begin to understand Xu Qinghuan's intentions, Miss Xu was preparing for the future, and wanted to secretly set up a Zhuangzi.
Princess Jane smiled in her heart, the current little girl really has an idea, and she has thought so far before she leaves the pavilion.
"It's not easy to buy," Princess Jian knows a lot about the land near the capital, "Although there are a lot of fertile fields near the capital, there are also many dignitaries, not to mention that some fields are directly rewarded by the imperial court, if you want to buy Zhuangzi, you have to be well-informed, and if you know that someone is planning to sell it, you will start immediately, and if it is too late, it will be snatched away." ”
Xu Qinghuan pondered for a moment: "Then the price of Zhuangzi is not low, right?" ”
"That's natural," Princess Jian said, "In addition to the Zhuangzi rewarded by the imperial court, I have also bought two Zhuangzi in our palace over the years. "It's not that there is no opportunity to buy Zhuangzi again, but the price is too expensive, there is no need for this, many families buy Zhuangzi near the capital, it is to arrange the manpower of the family on the Zhuangzi, so as to facilitate the return of slaves and maids, Jian Wangfu already has a few Zhuangzi, and then buy it depends on whether the Zhuangzi can be profitable.
These things are clear to Princess Jane.
"Does Miss Xu want to buy Zhuangzi?" Princess Jian said bluntly, "It may take a lot of silver, but now is a good time to buy, the New Year is approaching, many families have to settle their accounts, and some people can't afford to raise Zhuangzi and have to change hands." ”
"I'm not going to buy Zhuangzi," Xu Qinghuan said, "I don't understand something, just like the princess said, good Zhuangzi outside the capital are very bought, these Zhuangzi are basically in the hands of dignitaries, but what kind of Zhuangzi makes people can't find out the news of the master's family, and there are still many people inside and outside the Zhuangzi guarding ......"
Princess Jian frowned when she heard Xu Qinghuan's words: "What kind of people are in and out of this Zhuangzi?" ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "I only saw a beautiful woman. ”
Princess Jane immediately realized what was happening.
Miss Xu brought her here, it is indeed something to ask her to help, Miss Xu suspects the identity of the person who lives in this Zhuangzi, no matter who in Beijing has some secrets in the house, those men will not have enough concubines and will raise the outer room, although most people will buy a small house in Beijing, but there are also people who are particularly concerned about the outer room, buy the Zhuangzi to place them, do not go out of this Zhuangzi, the outer room is like the wife of a large family.
Princess Jane said: "The eldest lady inquired about the main family in the Zhuangzi? ”
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "It is said that he is not in Beijing all the year round, and the affairs of Zhuangzi are taken care of by Zhuangtou." ”
It's all a lie, Princess Jian sneered in her heart, in a place like the capital, no one will completely hand over their own village to the head of the village, even if the village is not important, the subordinates on the village must be personally controlled, otherwise the people will accidentally provoke the dignitaries in the capital, which may bring about a catastrophe.
Princess Jane began to wonder, who was the person who bought Zhuangzi's outer room?
An Yihou is also Miss Xu's future husband, Lord Song.
It is unlikely that An Yihou will always care about his reputation at such an age, Lord Song...... 's age is possible, it is possible to be more wanton before marriage, and it is good to be able to accept it if you become a parent, so Miss Xu will show a hesitant look, and she can't decide whether to expose it.
Princess Jian said tentatively: "Since some things are known, it is not good to ignore them, and everyone can rest assured if they are clear." ”
Xu Qinghuan raised his head, his eyes were full of thought: "The princess also thinks so?" ”
Princess Jane bowed: "If it were me, I would do the same." ”
"What if it's wrong," Xu Qinghuan said, "how to explain it to the people in Zhuangzi." ”
"Then what's so difficult," said Princess Jane, "when the time comes, she will say that the house has been stolen and many things have been lost, and the eldest lady will chase after Zhuangzi, and this Zhuangzi is really fine, so let the steward come forward and send some silver money to apologize." ”
As he spoke, the carriage stopped.
Xu Qinghuan lifted the curtain and pointed not far away: "Does the princess know this Zhuangzi?" ”
Princess Jian shook her head: "This Zhuangzi is so close to the capital, it doesn't look small, it will definitely cost a lot of silver to buy it." "The Song family is really willing to spend money.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Princess Jane: "What should I do next?" ”
Princess Jian frowned and thought about it, and she didn't know if Miss Xu had any evidence in her hand: "Send someone in to test?" ”
"I don't think so." Xu Qinghuan said.
Princess Jane can also understand that making a mistake is equivalent to tearing her face, so she still has to think carefully to see if there is a more tactful way.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The temptation is too troublesome, so it's better to go directly to the door now." ”
Princess Jane was surprised.
Without giving Princess Jian time to hesitate, Xu Qinghuan gently buckled the carriage door, and the carriage continued to move forward, heading straight to the door of Zhuangzi.
……
"Oh no."
Wei E took people out for a night and did not return, he sent people to check and did not come back, Zhuangzi Shangzhao was anxious, and heard someone come to report.
Steward Zhao's heart sank, it must have been Wei E's accident.
"What's wrong?" Steward Zhao immediately looked over.
"Wang ...... The princess is here......" the servant stammered, "the princess has come here." ”
