Chapter 135: The queen who has no deterrent power in her mother's house
There was a lively conversation in Ci'an Hall, and it wasn't until lunch time that Yi Hanxi took his wife Chu Ci into Ci'an Hall together. And what they followed behind was the beauty of calligraphy and painting.
Although Yi Xiangxiang travels in a low-key manner, she is the queen after all, so even if Yi Hanxi and his wife are their mother's brother and sister-in-law, they have to pay tribute to Yi Xiangxiang.
Yi Hanxi walked in with Chu Ci, and the two saluted Yi Xiangxiang, who was already sitting on the large round table of Huanghuali flower carved peony, and said in unison: "See the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Yi Xiangxiang got up to help: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, hurry up!" Then she glanced at Chu Ci, and said with a sweet smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the fourth sister-in-law is more and more beautiful, it seems that she has a good life with the fourth brother!" ”
Originally, Chu Ci was still a little nervous, but because of Yi Xiangxiang's words, she relaxed, and she also laughed at Yi Xiangxiang happily: "It's not as good as the queen's mother, who has both virtue and ability." ”
Since the palace banquet, Yi Xiangxiang's reputation for both virtue and talent has spread thousands of miles away.
"Hey, fourth sister-in-law, you're laughing at me!" Yi Xiangxiang deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, and then she sighed again: "Sure enough, it was the water spilled by the married daughter, this daughter's family is an outsider in her mother-in-law's house, and this time she went back to her mother's house, she became a guest!" ”
She pretended to sigh, which attracted a lot of people to laugh, and also made the Lin family give her a few more white eyes.
Jiang Jingshan sat next to Yi Luochuan with a big belly, and after hearing this, she also deliberately sighed: "Eh, it turns out that the three of us are outsiders!" ”
In addition to herself, the remaining two are Yi Hanchen's wife Li Yanping and Yi Hanxi's wife Chu Ci.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect her sister-in-law to dismantle the stage and catch the loophole, so she pouted and said, "Hey, doesn't this common saying say that one pregnancy is stupid for three years?" Why is the third sister-in-law still so shrewd, she actually caught me by exploiting my loopholes! ”
Everyone laughed in unison, and Mo Shi spoke out at the right time: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, hurry up and eat!" ”
As soon as Mo's words fell, the mother-in-law led Yi Hanxi and Chu Ci to sit in their positions below, so Yi Xiangxiang noticed the beauty of calligraphy and painting standing behind them.
"Do you miss me two little girls!" Yi Xiangxiang beckoned to Shumei and Painting.
Originally, she greeted the two maids and was fine, but when she spoke, Shumei and Huali burst into tears, only to see them walk up to Yi Xiangxiang and kneel down with a "poof".
"Miss!" The two shouted in unison with tears streaming down their faces.
Yi Xiangxiang deliberately took Qiao with her waist in her waist: "What a little sister, this palace is now the queen's mother!" ”
Her pretentious appearance made the two maids burst into tears and laughed.
Qing Xuan and Xiao Dan hurriedly helped Shumei and Huali up, and Qing Xuan said: "Don't be busy crying first, hurry up and serve Miss for dinner, and when you go to Yongle House in the afternoon, you can talk to Miss again." ”
Yi Xiangxiang echoed: "Yes, yes, let's talk later, otherwise I won't be able to eat if you cry and make trouble." ”
Naturally, Shumei and Huali will not be ignorant, and they are very obedient to step aside and serve.
Chu Ci smiled when he saw this: "These two girls, when I got to me, I was long and short all day long, and I didn't even forget to add a lesson to the little girl who taught the next head, "Miss said ...... before" I really read you tightly. ”
Yi Xiangxiang was very moved, but the focus she grasped was different, and she only heard her ask, "Yohe?" Will you teach the little maid a lesson? Is there no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king? ”
Shumei and Huali sighed when they heard this, and sure enough, the young lady was still the same young lady who loved to make fun of people before, and the original taste had not changed at all.
Mo put a chicken leg in Yi Xiangxiang's bowl and said, "Okay, okay, where did you learn so many crooked words, eat more." Didn't you say that the meals at home were delicious? Hurry up and eat more. ”
Although Mo knew that Yi Xiangxiang was joking when she said that the food in the palace was not good, she could see that her granddaughter had lost weight, so she pulled this into Yi Xiangxiang's bowl and clamped that.
"Okay, okay, that's it! If you clip it any more, it will be full! Yi Xiangxiang stopped her grandmother.
There is no rule for the Yi family to eat, especially when Yi Xiangxiang, a little urchin, is present, it is even more lively as the New Year.
And even at the luncheon, the banquet is a cup of glass. The main thing that pushes the cup is Yi Xiangxiang's second uncle Yi Tangquan, and he is very proud of the fact that his niece is the queen. And now that I can dine at the same table with the queen, I think that I will have to show off again when I go out, so I am even more happy to drink a few glasses.
Fortunately, he has always been afraid of Yi Kangwen, so although he is excited, he is also relatively restrained.
Yi Xiangxiang is sitting in the main seat today, on the left is the old lady Yi Kangwen, on the right is the old lady Yi, and then there are Yi Xihu and Lin and others.
"In the past, this position was all sitting in grandpa, but I really didn't expect that I could still occupy grandpa's position!" She said funny, and turned her head to ask Yi Kangwen, "How is grandpa?" What does it feel like to be second-in-place? ”
Yi Kangwen snorted coldly when he heard this: "If you weren't afraid of an outsider coming suddenly, do you think I would give you the position?" ”
He couldn't do anything with this granddaughter before, but now that his granddaughter has become the queen, he can't help it. But even this can't change his love of arguing with his granddaughter!
Yi Xiangxiang patted Yi Kangwen's shoulder as if soothingly, and said in a somewhat old-fashioned tone: "Grandpa, it's no good to have a hard mouth!" In life, when you should admit defeat, you must admit defeat! ”
Her words made everyone at the table laugh, after all, on weekdays, Mrs. Yi is always in the style of everyone, that is, Jiang Jingshan has been married in for so long, and most of the things she sees are the very majestic side of her grandfather.
In the past, Yi Xiangxiang was better when he was there, because Yi Kangwen was like an old child when he was fighting with Yi Xiangxiang. Since Yi Xiangxiang entered the palace, few people can trigger the old naughty side.
Chu Ci is one of these people who is more surprised by the way the two ancestors and grandchildren get along, she has been married for a short time, and she only knows that the eighth sister of Yongleju is more casual before, and sometimes she is much later than them. But later, she also knew that her husband was helping the eighth sister manage the industry, and the number was so large that it was staggering, so she paid some attention.
But when she knew about this, Yi Xiangxiang had already entered the palace, and she had never been with the other party for a long time, so she only felt that this eighth sister was full of mystery.
In fact, Yi Hanxi was also very surprised to see Yi Xiangxiang, just now when the little girl went to the Chu family to invite him and his wife to return to the house, he said that the queen mother was back, and he still didn't believe it.
Eh, I didn't expect this eighth sister who became the queen to still be the eighth sister who does her own thing!
It was lively, and after everyone in Ci'an Hall finished their lunch, everyone in the second room went back. Only Mr. and Mrs. Yi Hanxi were invited back after they were halfway gone.
Yi Hanxi and Chu Ci looked at Yi Xiangxiang and the others who were sitting on Ci'an Hall, and they didn't know why.
Mo Zhaoxi was guarding the door of Ci'an Hall, and the trusting mother-in-law served tea, and then Yi Luochuan repeated what he said in Changchun Palace yesterday.
"Treasures of the former dynasty?" Chu Ci smacked his tongue, what kind of family did he marry into! Even if the sister-in-law holds a big business in her hand, she is still guarding a mountain of gold!
She looked down at the bracelet in her hand of average color, she was afraid of attracting people's eyes and gossiping, so she accepted the hairpin ring accessories that the Yi family gave her and Yi Hanxi bought for her, and now it seems that she is indeed too low-key.
No wonder Aunt Feng has always told her that she doesn't need to be too simple, the emotional Yi family is so rich! Looking at this state, even the saint digging the river is still out of his sister-in-law's pocket?
Not only was Chu Ci surprised, but Yi Kangwen and Yi Xihu and his wife, including Jiang Jingshan, all felt very incredible.
Yi Kangwen opened his mouth first: "You dead girl, holding Jinshan Yinshan, and talking to me about the dividends of a pint of incense, you are in the eyes of money!" ”
He pretended to be angry and glared at Yi Xiangxiang.
The word treasure sounds like a lot of money, and Yi Luochuan also said it just now, it was saved by the founding emperor of the Qilin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and it was the heyday of the Qilin Dynasty!
Yi Xiangxiang was not afraid of being glared at by Yi Kangwen, but she happily threatened: "Grandpa, I'm the queen now!" Be respectful, and be careful that I treat you for disrespect! ”
While she was talking, she beckoned Qing Xuan to pour herself a cup of diet tea, and said again: "Besides, this code is one yard, and one pint of incense is a management fee, which is different from this!" ”
Yi Kangwen naturally couldn't talk about her, so he could only glance at her.
Yi Xihu is a person who doesn't care about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, he only knows that there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, but he also heard his wife Lin mention that it seems that the private treasury is quite rich, but he didn't expect that he is richer than the saint? It can't be!
"Not? I don't understand this, how do you say that...... Does this mean that our family is richer than royalty? Thinking so, he asked.
When Yi Xiangxiang heard this, she snorted angrily and coldly: "Hmph, I originally estimated that it should be about the same!" But now I want to be beautiful! Before I even started digging, I'm going to be confiscated! If it weren't for the sake of keeping the Wuda business, I wouldn't have admitted that I had hidden the treasure if I was killed! ”
Oh my money! Yi Xiangxiang was careful that her liver hurt.
There is no one in the world who does not love money, so everyone sighed a little after hearing the words confiscation.
But it's not like I've never seen the world, it's just that my emotions are stable. And they all understand that it is good to donate money to make a river.
Mo Shi said slowly: "It's okay to hand it over, your brother is right, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, it is a great merit, and it should be a blessing." Besides, if we don't hand it over, if it is found out in the future, the Holy One will definitely not like it, and he will no longer trust our family. ”
It is difficult to explain that there is no evil intention hidden in the huge amount of money.
Her words made everyone nod their heads in unison, if they knew earlier, even if there was no matter of digging the river in Meizhou, it was estimated that Yi Xiangxiang would have been handed over to the treasury after some consideration.
And this is the reason why Yi Xiangxiang hid it from everyone in the Yi family, if she wasn't forced to do so, she wouldn't want to hand it over!
Yi Kangwen looked at his granddaughter's pouting and guessed that she must be reluctant in her heart. To be honest, he is reluctant to love money like him! However, he thought of the Wuda business again, and his heart was also a little balanced, after all, he didn't even have to hand over this.
He stroked his snow-white beard and said to Yi Xiangxiang: "I told your grandmother before that Han Xi is just in charge of the two joy buildings in Kyoto, how can he be so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground?" Feelings, he also showed you the Wuda business! No wonder when he was in Tongzhou before, he didn't have time to go home every year, eh, it's hard to take care of such a big mess. ”
Yi Hanxi didn't think there was anything, he said humbly: "Eighth sister has a talent for business, and most of the rules and regulations are set by her, I just look at things according to the rules, and I don't have anything to worry about." Besides, I am not in control of the Wuda business alone, but I and Miss Moxi are in charge of half of each. Nowadays, there are still selected and useful stewards in various places, which is really not hard. ”
"Besides, the bonus given by the eighth sister is quite high! I take a lot of silver every year, but I didn't say hello to the eighth sister. ”
Hearing this, Mo Shi continued: "It's one thing if money is not money, if you don't take care of these miscellaneous things, you should also be able to study and make a name for yourself." She felt that Yi Hanxi was a little pity.
The Rite Dynasty emphasized that even if a person in business was capable, the yellow and white things he earned could not be worth the praise of others for his fame.
Yi Hanxi shook his head, he really didn't think so: "Grandmother's words are serious, why you couldn't study and take the exam in the first place, you also know the reason, it's not because of these things in business." Besides, even if he studies hard in the cold window, his nephew may not be able to gain fame, and it is not as good as now. The eighth sister is right, money can make ghosts grind, just live well, what do you care about what others say? ”
"Besides, to put it mildly, you also know the situation in the second room now, don't they all squander my money? Do you want to see my face on weekdays? Speaking of which, I should still thank my eighth sister for letting me take care of Wuda Business and Xile Building, so that I can get a lot of dividends. ”
Although the second room is now eating in the public middle school, the private money is filled in by Yi Hanxi, and now even the Huang family in the second room does not dare to easily find trouble with Yi Hanxi.
In fact, Yi Hanxi is really grateful to the eighth sister for giving her a chance, if she hadn't helped her manage half of the Wuda business and Xile Building, he estimated that he would be about the same as the second brother Yi Hanchen, and he could only get a good job.
And because Yi Hanxi kept mentioning the words "a lot of dividends", this made Yi Kangwen's eyes shiny, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? Is there a lot of dividends? Is that the Wuda firm very profitable? How much can I earn each year? ”
Seeing this, Yi Xiangxiang hurriedly interrupted him: "Old man, don't think about it, it doesn't matter to you how much you earn!" Really, what a person, and you're still worried about my granddaughter's money, you are not ashamed! ”
Yi Kangwen looked at each other angrily when he heard this: "You have no conscience!" Is your grandfather and I treating you badly? Sneaking to get rich doesn't take me! Hmph, if you don't say it, I also know that you make a lot of money, Wuda Firm is now one of the top ten firms, and the profit is definitely not low. And what kind of Qianyi Pavilion is that, and you still make clothes for the ladies in the palace, those nobles haven't been slaughtered by you, right? ”
"Hey, what you're talking about, I'm that kind of person!" Yi Xiangxiang lowered her head to drink tea, and when she looked up again, she found that everyone was staring at her, and her eyes were naked to indicate "you are".
Yi Xiangxiang could only cough embarrassedly, and then pretended to be reasonable and said: "It's just a bit expensive, and I don't earn much from them!" Besides, Baba went to the palace to tailor them, and he always had to pay some errands, right? ”
Mo Shi laughed when he heard this: "You are the queen, if you are known by those girls, then everyone knows that you have circled their money?" ”
"That's why I can't expose myself, I can only hand over the treasure." Yi Xiangxiang sighed.
Oh, my treasure!
At this point, Lin finally had a chance to interject and ask: "How did you get the treasure?" How do you know it's hidden under the old mansion? ”
When Yi Luochuan talked about what they were talking about in Changchun Palace yesterday, he only mentioned that Yi Kangwen and Mo Shi were needed to pretend to be sick and go back to Tongzhou to dig for treasures, but they did not specifically explain how this treasure came from.
After Yi Luochuan heard his mother's question, he looked at Yi Xiangxiang, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was, "I said I can't hide, right?" Explain it yourself"!
Eh, Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect to be gags for so long, but she was still caught by her own mother.
Helpless, Yi Xiangxiang could only tell all the things about Huanxi Pavilion going up the mountain to take revenge.
So, there was another sound of jaws falling to the ground in the Ci'an Hall.
Yi Luochuan had long known that his sister was the master of Huanxi Pavilion, and Jiang Jingshan also knew that he was not surprised. And Yi Hanxi occasionally took money from Wuda Firm because of the twenty-four protectors of Huanxi Pavilion, plus the previous rescue matters, he also knew that the eighth sister had a great relationship with Huanxi Pavilion. However, I didn't know that she was the pavilion master himself, so I was a little surprised.
Chu Ci was stunned: "That is to say...... Lord Minghui is actually the eighth sister's subordinate? ”
The county lord of Minghui she said was the protector of the dragon girl, and because of her previous meritorious service in saving the driver, she was named the county lord and gave her a house.
Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and nodded again: "Let's talk about my subordinates, I always feel inferior, but this Huanxi Pavilion was indeed built by me." ”
Thinking about it, it seems to be a matter of the previous life, Yi Xiangxiang sighed with emotion, time flies really fast!
Chu Ci didn't know that Yi Xiangxiang sighed, but he was just more stunned when he heard the words! The fact that Huanxi Pavilion swept several major cottages in the south was a sensation back then, and she had heard of it even in Kyoto! She couldn't have imagined that the leader of these legends turned out to be her husband's eighth sister!
Incredible, incredible!
Compared with the incredulity shown by everyone, Lin was slightly angry: "How old are you at that time? Dare to kill someone? ”
Lin's words woke everyone up, yes, Yi Xiangxiang was ten years old at that time? Or is it nine years old?
Mo also realized the seriousness of the matter: "Your mother is right, you are simply bold!" ”
She was a little afraid when she thought about it now, the suffering they suffered when they passed by the foot of Qishan Mountain that year seems to be vivid now, and as a result, her granddaughter actually went to take revenge in person!
What does this mean?
It means that on the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, when everyone is falling asleep, his own granddaughter is actually suppressing bandits!
Swords are not long-eyed, in case there is a good one, then it will be returned!
Thinking of this, Mo Shi also looked at Yi Xiangxiang very angrily.
Yi Xiangxiang was a little scared, she knew that if she poked this thing out, she would definitely face a reprimand, at this time she could only say weakly: "I'm not fine!" ”
Lin was about to scold her angrily when she heard this, but Yi Xihu interrupted her: "Okay, it's worthy of my daughter!" At the beginning, your father and I couldn't wait to cook the group of mountain bandits in Qishan, you did what your father didn't do, you are really a good daughter of your father! ”
As he spoke, he excitedly stepped forward and rubbed Yi Xiangxiang's face vigorously, and Yi Xiangxiang exclaimed in pain: "I am the queen!" Don't be rude! ”
When the Yi family suffered at the foot of Qishan Mountain, Yi Xihu did not go with him because of the handover in Centennial County, because he felt guilty in his heart that he was not with his wife and children at that time. Now that he knew that those people were all cleaned up by his daughter, how could he not be happy.
The Lin family will never confront his husband in front of his children, so as not to lose face, so as not to lose face, he decided to settle accounts with his daughter next time.
Yi Xiangxiang doesn't care when to settle the account, as long as it doesn't count at this time, anyway, if she is in the palace at that time, her mother will not let her queen be too embarrassed.
Yi Xiangxiang took Yi Xihu's hand and dodged it and said, "Daddy is right, I not only took their lair, but also took the treasure away!" Now use this treasure to build a river road, but the great duke! Yi Xiangxiang hurriedly echoed her father.
Chu Ci couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "The eighth sister is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, if she is a man, she will definitely be able to achieve great achievements." ”
She is telling the truth, from the last time she saw Boss Duan praise the eighth sister at the palace banquet, to now this one after another, Yi Xiangxiang really made her admire.
When she returned to Chu's house in the morning, her mother told her that the people who ridiculed her for marrying Yi Hanxi now said that she was lucky. Yes, putting aside the dignity of the eighth sister, it is indeed her luck to marry into such a kind family.
Yi Kangwen agreed with his nephew and daughter-in-law's words, and said with his beard: "No, if it is a man, the name of Wuda is still surnamed Yi." It's good now, it's cheaper for that kid. ”
Everyone knows who the kid he is talking about is.
Yi Xiangxiang rarely agreed with Yi Kangwen's words, she nodded and said, "That's it!" Appointing me as a queen is just a title, but I filled in such a big dowry! ”
O my treasure! Yi Xiangxiang lamented again.
Everyone was ashamed.
It's not a good life
Non-red-faced, not thin-hearted, cool-hearted
