Chapter 23: Asking for Money
Rong Heng didn't want to say a word to him, an upright little guy.
Silent all the way, go straight to the imperial study.
When he went, the emperor was in a good mood.
"Heng'er is here, is he feeling better today?" The emperor asked with a smile.
Rong Heng's poor health is known to everyone.
The emperor begged famous doctors for him, but no one could solve it.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that although he was not in good health, this disease would not die for a while, and if he took care of it well, he could last a long time.
Rong Heng stood there with a sad face, "Father, my son didn't vomit blood today, I think it's okay." ”
The tone of his voice was like he had been hit by arsenic.
The emperor frowned, "What's wrong?" Whoever messes with you is not happy. ”
Rong Heng knelt down, "Father, I'm afraid that my sons and daughters really can't get married." ”
In order to be able to get out of the marriage, Rong Heng tossed a lot.
Hunger strike, vomiting blood, throwing himself into a lake......
When the emperor saw him mention it again, his face immediately sank, "Nonsense, how can I be a child's play if I give marriage by my holy decree!" ”
Rong Heng pitifully took out a piece of paper, got up and silently handed it to the emperor, "Father, this time, it's not that the sons don't want to get married, it's that the sons can't afford to get married." ”
Father-in-law Fu glanced at the piece of paper, and the corners of his mouth trembled.
Thirty thousand taels!
"Thirty thousand taels!" The emperor raised his voice and asked.
Rong Heng nodded shamefully.
The paper Rong Heng gave to the emperor was the letter he wrote to Su Qing, and he himself added Su Qing's original words at the back.
"Erchen knew that his father gave Su Qing to Erchen because Erchen was in poor health, and she could protect Erchen, so Erchen thought, if Erchen is in good health, don't you need to marry her."
A dignified son, I want a woman to protect you!
Rong Heng said that he was aggrieved and sad.
"I heard that Sanhetang has a secret recipe for curing, so Erchen wanted to ask for it, and my father also knew that Erchen had saved the life of the old gang leader of Sanhetang before, and he promised Erchen that he could make a wish to Sanhetang."
"The young helper of Sanhetang said that if you want a cheat, you must take Su Qing to get it, and Erchen was afraid that Su Qing would not go, so he wrote this."
The more Rong Heng spoke, the lower his voice became.
The emperor squinted at him, "What is the result?" ”
Rong Heng said ashamedly: "As a result, Sanhetang's treatment secrets are there, but they are for treating external injuries. ”
The breath remained unchanged and lied.
The emperor laughed angrily, "So, you just didn't get the cheats, and you folded in 30,000 taels of silver, and you have to marry Su Qing in the end, right?" ”
Belch......
It's so heart-wrenching.
Rong Heng nodded, "Yes, Erchen gave Su Qing an IOU, and Su Qing said that if she didn't get the silver before getting married, she would never get on the sedan chair." ”
Su Qing has always said that there is no two, and the emperor also knows this.
Looking at his stupid son, the emperor couldn't cry or laugh.
I've seen stupid, I've never seen anything so stupid.
If Sanhetang really has a secret recipe that can cure his illness, his illness will still need to be delayed until now!
The son is his own, no matter how stupid he is, he has to protect his face.
"Tell me, it's not even close." The emperor asked.
Rong Heng pursed his lips, "Thirty thousand taels." ”
The emperor almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand.
Looking at Rong Heng with an expression of eating a mosquito, the emperor said, "Do you have any savings?" ”
Rong Heng looked honest, "All the money owned by the sons and daughters is given by the emperor every month. ”
The emperor suddenly remembered that because Rong Heng was not in good health, he had never given him an errand, and if he had no errands, he naturally had no extra income.
Immediately, there was some sympathy for Rong Heng.
Gonggong Fu was somewhat sympathetic to the emperor.
30,000 taels is not a small amount, but this money cannot be taken out of the treasury, so the emperor can only pay it himself.
After sympathy, the emperor stared at the piece of paper, began to worry, and asked Father-in-law Fu in a low voice: "Is my money enough?" ”
Fu Gonggong ......
Good heartache.
In order to repay his son's debts, the emperor actually asked such a thing.
Taking a deep breath, Gonggong Fu replied in a loyal whisper, "Your Majesty, there is still about two hundred taels left, and it is enough to sell the Dongzhu that His Royal Highness was filial to a few days ago." ”
After Fu Gonggong finished speaking, his eyes rolled.
I didn't say anything, I was a good slave who was loyal to the king.
The emperor's eyes flashed brightly.
yes, why did he let them all out.
Brother and brother Gong, brother and brother Gong, at this time it is not a friend when is a friend.
"Go and call the boss, the fourth and the fifth!" The emperor gave an order.
Immediately, there was a small chamberlain to pass the decree.
The emperor seems to have found a door to a new world.
After the order, he added, "Those above the concubine rank are also called." ”
hesitated, "Invite the Queen Mother too." ”
Hearing the last sentence, Rong Heng, who was kneeling on the ground, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
And at this time, the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Su Qing was dressed in a robe, standing in a chic manner, and he had been waiting for a stick of incense and had not seen the Queen Mother.
Just when she decided to count from one to ten, and she would withdraw if the Queen Mother didn't come again, the county lord of Zhaohui helped the Queen Mother out of the back room.
"Why is Su Shizi here, and he doesn't report it."
The Queen Mother rebuked coldly.
Immediately, a palace maid admitted her mistake.
"I've kept you waiting." The Queen Mother sat down, took a sip of tea before looking at Su Qing leisurely, and said lightly.
Su Qing clenched his fists, "The minister asks the Queen Mother to be safe, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, and she looked at Su Qing, "Minister? Then suddenly, he sneered, "Oh, the mourning family almost forgot that the emperor sealed you General Bauhinia." ”
The county lord of Zhaohui sat under the head of the queen mother and said with a smile: "In charge of an army of 100,000 people, it really gives the face of the Marquis of Pingyang." ”
This face grew up by stepping on the face of the county lord of Chaohui and the face of the prince of Zhenguo.
The Queen Mother's eyes became colder and colder, "Although you are a general, you are also the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family. ”
Su Qing didn't refute, "Yes." ”
The county lord of Zhaohui said with a smile: "Qing'er can marry His Royal Highness Jiu, not only is Qing'er's blessing, but also the glory of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. ”
"Yes, Qing'er strictly follows the teachings of the second aunt." Su Qing responded very rationally.
In the Pingyang Hou Mansion, she can be unceremonious to these black-hearted people.
But in the palace, she should abide by the rules, and she can't be bad.
She can't cause unnecessary trouble to her parents.
Su Qing responded, but the Queen Mother put down the teacup heavily.
"Branches? Hmph, you think that the mourning family doesn't know, Heng'er doesn't want to marry you at all, and expects you to spread the branches, I'm afraid that the mourning family will not be able to wait even if they are all in the ground. ”
What the Queen Mother said, Su Qing agreed.
Not to mention that the Queen Mother can't wait for the ground, even if Rong Heng is in the ground, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait.
She got married under the pretense of separation.
Su Qing said very calmly: "What the Queen Mother said is true. ”
The Queen Mother ......, "Huh? So, you really don't plan to spread the branches for Heng'er? ”
Su Qing ......, "The courtiers listen to the queen mother." ”
Dowager......
Want to retreat as advance? You're still too tender!
The Queen Mother shook her shoulders coldly, "Since you listen to the mourning family for whatever you say, then it's good, Ming'er mourning will let Heng'er marry two side concubines and enter the door and give Heng'er a branch of the leaves." ”
The Queen Mother's words fell, and the county lord of Zhaohui gloated and glanced at Su Qing, and then wondered: "Auntie, although Qing'er can't spread the branches, but she is the main concubine in the end, and the main concubine does not enter the door, so she welcomes the side concubine first, will it ......?"
The Queen Mother looked at Su Qing coldly, "The mourning family doesn't force you, the mourning family does this for the sake of Heng'er's heir." ”
