About two quarters of an hour later, Aunt Caifeng led her subordinates to the garden where Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu stayed.

The thick pine branches were already burning, and the sound of crackling wood burning, and the fragrance of logs was faintly diffused. What's even stronger is the smell of barbecue that has been wafting in the air, so that Aunt Caifeng, who hasn't eaten in the morning, can't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva.

"Meet the princess!" Aunt Caifeng didn't bring that string of children today, she was single, and she saluted Yan Qingge weakly.

Yan Qingge glanced at her and said, "Add a pair of chopsticks to my aunt." ”

Every time Aunt Caifeng came to see Yan Qingge, she was dressed neatly and quite brightly, because she knew that Yan Qingge didn't like people to cry poor with her, and the more she cried poor, the more she couldn't fall into the favor. But this time her clothes were all old clothes worn in previous years, and the pulp was a little faded, and they looked plain and white with a poor sour smell, as if she had been a maid before.

"Don't dare, don't dare! The slave and maid serve the mother and the prince with rice. Aunt Caifeng glanced enviously at the plates of raw materials on the table.

The Yan family used to be rich, and those blood-streaked venison, crabs with big human faces, fine lamb meat, white jade-like pigeon eggs, delicacies from the mountains and seas, etc., used to appear at the Yan family's dinner table from time to time, and she naturally recognized them.

It's just that the current Yan family is no longer what it used to be.

Aunt Caifeng's face flashed a little embarrassment and determination, the family property has been sold, if it continues like this, her daughter's daughter-in-law will not be able to afford it.

Yan Qingge didn't let it go again, she could see at a glance that Aunt Caifeng came this time with something on her mind and asked her for something.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yan Qingge asked.

"Please also ask the mother to save the Yan family! The queen mother has sent two fathers-in-law to live in the house since April this year, and now the Yan family is about to be sold out. Today, the slave and maid also secretly ran out by themselves. Aunt Caifeng fell to her knees and kowtowed.

Yan Qingge was wiping her hands with Yan Wan'er, who was eager to try her own barbecue, and after listening to Caifeng's words, the movements in her hands couldn't help but slow down.

This kind of thing, Yan Shuyu didn't do it for the first time, the first time she did it, she took all the money on the Yan family's account and let the eunuchs she sent out, but fortunately, Yan Qingge found out early and stopped it.

This time, she did it even more ruthlessly, and simply asked someone to supervise the Yan family and sell her wealth.

But is Aunt Caifeng really as innocent as she said, this may not be!

Yan Shuyu just sent out two people to look at the Yan family, but not a bunch of people sent out, Aunt Caifeng was able to escape today, why couldn't she escape after so many days ahead? It stands to reason that now that Yan Shuyu is sealed, she is more powerful, and she should be more strictly guarded.

Yan Qingge's heart was a little ridiculous, presumably when Yan Shuyu was crowned a concubine, Aunt Caifeng thought about scolding her, and later there were rumors that Yan Shuyu might be named the queen, Aunt Caifeng thought that after Yan Shuyu was sealed, she would repay the Yan family doubly, so she let all this happen.

But now that Yan Shuyu has time after the seal, the so-called reward has not come at all, and Yan Shuyu even looted the Yan family as before, so that Aunt Caifeng can't sit still.

Seeing that Yan Qingge didn't speak, Aunt Caifeng was a little anxious. The two young ladies who have been married out of the Yan family have different personalities. Yan Shuyu has no conscience, although she has the highest status, she is also the least merciful to her mother's family. Yan Qingge doesn't care much about the affairs of the Yan family, but if something happens to the Yan family, she will also help her.

Aunt Caifeng looked at this and came to ask Yan Qingge.

After hesitating, she said worriedly: "Niangniang, when the young master of the green boy is now in the middle of his body, he often shouts that he is hungry, and the slave is afraid that if this continues, the family will not even be able to eat." ”

She knows that she doesn't like Yan Qingge, even if it is her daughter, in Yan Qingge's eyes, she has no status, so the only thing that can be said is that only the green boy is left, but the green boy has also been raised in front of Yan Qingge, and he is also friends with the emperor's eldest grandson, who is now red and purple, and if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Yan Qingge may help the Yan family.

But Yan Qingge just didn't say anything, which made Aunt Caifeng anxious, and after waiting for a long time, she heard her say: "Ask the account office to give Aunt Caifeng three hundred taels of silver." ”

Aunt Caifeng was stunned for a moment, waiting for Yan Qingge's words, but she only waited for a maid in emerald green clothes, and said to her with a smile: "Auntie and slave maid come." "I was going to send her away.

Aunt Caifeng's heart panicked, she couldn't help but raise her head and glanced at Yan Qingge, only to see that Yan Qingge's eyes were full of mockery.

Aunt Caifeng suddenly understood that Yan Qingge knew everything, so she didn't plan to help her.

At the beginning, Yan Shuyu made the promises made by the clever eunuch still echoed in her ears, and Aunt Caifeng's body was cold, and she didn't dare to reply to half a sentence, so she lowered her head and walked away with the maid.

Yan Xiuyu didn't speak, roasting the two children on the side, and waited for Aunt Caifeng to leave, before asking, "Do you care about her this time?" ”

"I am greedy for small gains, and I was tossed by Yan Shuyu, why should I care about her." Yan Qingge smiled faintly: "The clothes she is wearing are still made of the materials I gave her a few years ago. I came back from Qingzhou this spring and gave her a lot of imported jewelry and fabrics from the sea, and if she could keep the same and wear it to me, I would take care of her. ”

When she was in the Yan family before, Caifeng served Aunt Hai and knew a lot of inside stories, of course she knew the dirt between Yan Qingge and Yan Shuyu's mother and daughter.

She dared to sell everything that Yan Qingge rewarded her to support Yan Shuyu, so she should have the consciousness of being sent out by Yan Qingge at will today. There is no such thing as a two-pleasing thing in the world, anyway, in Yan Qingge's place, Aunt Caifeng's careful thinking will not work.

Aunt Caifeng probably understood this, so she didn't dare to bring her daughter today, for fear that she would lose face and show her daughter.

She is a very clever person, of course she knows that Yan Qingge's three hundred taels of silver was not actually given to her, but asked her to buy food for the green boy.

An ordinary family of four is just making ends meet, which is more than a dozen taels of silver a year. The character of the green boy is there, honest and upright, he doesn't pick anything, and the three hundred taels are reserved for the green boy to eat and spend, at least enough for four or five years.

Moreover, because the green boy is a friend of Yuan Jin, if he is a little older, he will inevitably be on duty by Yuan Jin's side, and when he has his own salary, how can he point to Aunt Caifeng to live.

Walking out of the door of King Ning's mansion, Aunt Caifeng held the head of the blanket in her hand in a daze, and almost cried.

She really doesn't know what to do in the future!

Her daughter is only so old, she has only learned a primer in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is originally a concubine, if she has no ability, she will marry out in the future, even if she marries into a high-ranking family in the name of the queen mother and Princess Ning's sister, but people can afford her?

As for the green boy and the blue boy who was still tightly locked up by Yan Qingge, they were completely out of her consideration.

Gritting her teeth fiercely, Aunt Caifeng decided that she would spend the three hundred taels of silver on her daughter.

The daughter-in-law invited by her daughter, a month's salary plus food and clothing, will cost about ten taels of silver, and these three hundred taels of silver are enough to support several years!

As for the green boy who always shouts that he is hungry, just continue to drink porridge with him, who made him blessed, a barbarian dared to call the emperor's eldest grandson a brother when he was a child, and he broke all the blessings in his life.

Just as Aunt Caifeng was walking slowly on the street, thinking about whether she was going to sell all the maids who were waiting around her, so that she could have some rations left. As for her, she used to be a maid, and she was not served at all, so her daughter was served by her, and if she was free, she could do some embroidery work and subsidize the family.

Thinking about it like this, Aunt Caifeng's heart suddenly brightened, and she even hit the idea of renting part of the Yan family's house to others.

Now she only lives in the peach fragrance garden, and there are so many empty yards with ashes, it should be bad after a long time, and she has no spare money to take care of it.

While she was thinking wildly, a man with clear eyebrows suddenly stabbed out and blocked her way.

"Dare to ask you, are you the Yan family's Aunt Caifeng? Our Lord please. The young man with red lips and white teeth smiled at Aunt Caifeng.

Aunt Caifeng's face was flushed, she had not been out of Yan's house for many years, and when she came out today, in order to save money, she didn't call a carriage, and there was no one around her, and she was suddenly recognized by a strange man, and she was very ashamed for a while.

"Your lord?" Caifeng listened to the man's name and guessed that this man should be a descendant of a certain family, but seeing that he looks so good, has an extraordinary bearing, and wears very luxurious clothes, how can he be a subordinate, he looks like a master.

The man smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and made a gesture of invitation to Aunt Caifeng.

Aunt Caifeng thought about it, she was in Ning Wang's Mansion just now, and she saw the maids serving beside Yan Qingge, aren't they all like the eldest lady of the family, about the little maids who are serving next to this noble person, they are also all young masters.

She didn't know who had come to invite her, but there was a faint hope in her heart, maybe she might have met a nobleman.

Anyway, the situation of the Yan family is already like this, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse or worse, but it is possible to come to Jitai.

With full anticipation, Aunt Caifeng followed the man to a teahouse on the side of the road.

The man didn't lead her into any private room in the teahouse at all, but took her directly to the back of the teahouse.

After entering a slightly dark room, Aunt Caifeng's eyes adjusted for a long time before she could clearly see that there was a person sitting at the table in front of her.

This person had the light on his back and couldn't see his face clearly at all, Aunt Caifeng squinted her eyes, knelt down hesitantly, and said, "Slave Caifeng, please be happy to your nobles." ”

The person in the seat snorted slightly: "What? Auntie, don't even recognize me now! ”<
