After entering the palace, Cheng Ziyu went to Concubine Zhao by the way.

The name - self-visiting.

The purpose - not only to see how shabby Concubine Zhao is, but also to see how miserable this prospective mother-in-law in her previous life is, if necessary, she doesn't mind giving Concubine Zhao some more stimulation.

Gifts—she's already ready. There is a gift of Zhu Changan's most "favorite" medicinal herbs and Concubine Zhao's most "favorite" gorgeous brocade box.

After arriving, she finally understood why Wen Lan was able to come arrogantly, domineering and chic, without caring about anything else.

It's just that Concubine Zhao's palace is really deserted, Xu has been grounded for a long time, and she has never been favored, and the talented people and nobles in the side halls on both sides have also moved away...... There are no outsiders, yes.

In this life, Cheng Ziyu and Concubine Zhao did not tear their faces, but her arrival obviously made the housekeeper say implicitly and cautiously, "Niangniang is sick, and it is inconvenient to see guests."

But Cheng Ziyu replied very blindly: "It was because I was sick that I came to visit the patient." If you don't enter, it's rude. If you don't look at it, it's really hard to be safe. ”

With that, she led the men into the room.

Mama can't stop it and doesn't dare to be tough, after all, this is a celebrity in front of her, but her own prince is not in Beijing, so she can't be tough.

Stepping into Concubine Zhao's dormitory again, it was really like a world away.

In fact, it is not long, even if it is connected to the previous life, it will only be more than a year.

But she suddenly wanted to laugh.

In the memory of the purpose, how rich and gorgeous it is, but at this moment, what is it?

It's not a grade worse than the first time I set foot in my previous life.

The hanging and placing are all the most common objects issued in the palace, and the practicality is greater than the exquisite...... How can any middle and high-ranking concubine use these things? Concubine Zhao is still the mother of the dignified prince, is it possible to play simple?

How many things Vinlan smashed and what she smashed, she asked. Wen Lan didn't find anything of value to smash, and she couldn't see the private collections that Concubine Zhao regarded as treasures. Something must be wrong.

The housekeeper took the salute and said a few polite words.

Looking at the two gorgeous brocade boxes brought by Cheng Ziyu, Mama's complexion looked a lot better.

It's just that after opening the brocade box, her face collapsed again.

What is not good to send? Medicine? Is there a shortage of medicine here? In this palace, you don't need money to see a doctor, how can you lack medicinal materials? According to your identity, why don't you give ginseng deer antler reishi?

In the other brocade box...... Mama was originally happy. Inside is a one-arm-long craft bottle, which is brilliant at a glance.

But if you look closely, it's a plum bottle. And on that bottle, the painting is ...... Orchid?

It's deliberate, right?

Now, who doesn't know that their master hates Lan the most? Their master is the most unlucky?

Is this a reminder of the rampant arrogance of their master, Vinlan? Or scold their masters for bad luck?

Mama's hot eyes swept over Cheng Ziyu.

Cheng Ziyu smiled lightly.

"What's wrong? Mama, don't underestimate this bottle, this plum bottle just came out of the kiln a few days ago! It is the first batch of finished products of Chengjia Jingcheng Workshop. It's rare. Master Cui bid 800 taels, and I didn't sell it. ”

It was not sold. Because it's a defective product! The new kiln always needs to be run-in. I have to burn out a few kilns. There is something wrong with this glaze, but only connoisseurs can see it. Such a thing is just worthy of Concubine Zhao.

Cheng Ziyu made a calculation, in the final analysis, she came to see if Concubine Zhao was really poor. If it is true, then this bottle of Concubine Zhao must be exchanged for silver. She can't interfere elsewhere, but in the Tao market, it is more than enough to keep an eye on this bottle.

So this is not only an argument, but also a stimulus for Concubine Zhao to enjoy in the process of selling bottles......

Seeing that Cheng Ziyu's expression was calm, and she didn't mean to deliberately tease, she secretly said that she had thought too much, so she naturally quickly put away her strange expression and turned warm.

If that's the case, it's a good thing. The first kiln is naturally sold at a high price. Good boy! I didn't sell eight hundred taels, and I don't know how much I can sell.

"Ouch, the old slave is dizzy and doesn't know good things. Cui'er, put it away quickly. Don't bump into such a valuable thing, take it to the warehouse first. "Naturally, you have to put it away, otherwise you will be angry when you see it. The imperial doctor can say, the mother is on fire, this disease must be carefully maintained, and it must not be stimulated again, otherwise if you faint a few times, there will be some risk of stroke.

And Mama didn't notice that Cheng Ziyu gave Liu Er a look, and Liu Er received it, so she helped Na Cui'er pack the box. Cui'er was worried that she couldn't hold the high bottle, so she naturally thanked and thanked......

Cheng Ziyu hooked her lips, so there is another purpose for this gift, it depends on Liu'er.

I didn't expect it here, when I heard her coming, I woke up recently, I woke up, and Concubine Zhao, who was barely fully awake yesterday, actually saw her.

I have to say that Wen Lan's lethality is very great, Cheng Ziyu's past and present lives, this is the first time I have seen Concubine Zhao haggard like this, she seems to be ten years old, and there are several more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

However, Cheng Ziyu didn't expect that as soon as Concubine Zhao spoke, she was speechless for a few points.

Concubine Zhao leaned against the head of the bed, looked at her with the kind eyes she had seen when she met for the first time in this life, and beckoned her to come forward, and even reached out to take her hand.

Cheng Ziyu once again ignored her hand that had hung several times. But she miraculously endured it.

"Our county lord is so good-looking."

“……”

"To say, the princesses of our royal family are not as good-looking as the county lords. I really don't want to raise people like Jingxi in that realm, but I can raise a treasure-like character like you......" Concubine Zhao said very hard, but it was her hard work that made the corners of Cheng Ziyu's lips jump.

“……”

"This palace is not only talking about your appearance, but also about your bearing. That's one in a million, and our princess Da Zhou can't compare. ”

"......" interesting! Cheng Ziyu rolled her eyes several times in her heart.

The reason why she didn't answer was not because she wanted to know what Concubine Zhao was going to do, because there was nothing to do, and it was definitely not good. Instead, she wanted to see if Concubine Zhao could continue to boast.

This is a good sound, not because she likes to hear it, but because she has never heard it in her previous life. She just wanted to see how far this person could go against her will.

Concubine Zhao was also a little embarrassed.

Why is this man so thick-skinned? Why don't you answer? Shouldn't you dare to say it at this moment, express false praise, and then compliment it in turn?

If you don't answer the call, how can you continue to act?

But even if it was a one-man show, Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth and insisted.

"This kid, the etiquette is good. How filial piety, and you know that you have a heart to come to see me. ”

"I heard that you took tens of thousands of taels to build roads? Tens of thousands of taels can be held out, and it is also confident. If you want to earn more, right? Yes, you are still imperial merchants, but you can't make a lot of money. ”

"Jingxi's trading is so profitable, and it has been done in the capital again. It's amazing. ”

"The Cheng family's business is doing well, mainly because you are a capable child. It's like this at a young age, and it's even more incredible in the future. ”

"It's a pity that our An'er is not blessed, otherwise......"

"This palace likes you, and I almost thought that we could become a ...... of the family"

Cheng Ziyu took a sip of the tea that Mama had brought up. It's still an ordinary tea issued by the palace. It seems that the mountains and rivers are really exhausted, and it stands to reason that the "eight hundred taels" just now have to be served with a bowl of good tea.

Concubine Zhao had already exhausted her nonsense and tried her best to get to the point, but Cheng Ziyu never said a word.

"Child, do you still remember the time of the southern tour, the first meeting of the dragon boat, the palace once gave you a red gold collar, you were named the lord of the county, the palace once gave you a jasper bracelet, and then you were given marriage, and the palace also gave you a golden hairpin. Do you remember? ”

Remember, how can you not remember?

The gold collar was originally made for Vinland, and it was not light, decorated with several red sapphires, which was extraordinary, and it was a gift for the prospective daughter-in-law. And Vinland went in at least half of the silver. But Concubine Zhao temporarily changed her mind and gave the collar to herself, which made Wen Lan hate herself.

And the day he was crowned the county lord was the day of the queen mother's birthday, and the emperor suddenly issued an edict, which caught everyone off guard. Concubine Zhao was forced to be helpless, and she was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she was shabby, so she could only follow everyone to remove her beloved from her wrist - the jasper bracelet, which made her heart ache greatly.

Concubine Zhao brought it up at this time, and the allusion was actually very clear.

The golden hairpin is not mentioned first, those two are indeed worth a lot, at least more than a thousand taels?

However, what was sent out is going to be taken back now? Why didn't you refuse when you just accepted your "eight hundred taels" gift? I'm sorry to lock the warehouse for the first time.

If it's an ordinary person, it's fine.

But this is Concubine Zhao! The person who hated to suck the blood in his previous life, and the person who is not less calculating about himself in this life, is really faceful!

Cheng Ziyu's smile really couldn't help it, and she still didn't answer, just continued to look at Concubine Zhao like a clown jumping beam. To say that Concubine Zhao's face is indeed extraordinary, she doesn't even show the slightest redness.

"Actually, that collar, this palace was originally intended to give to An's daughter-in-law. At that time, Hongu thought that it was ...... That person will be you. That's why I gave it to you by mistake. And so did that jasper bracelet. It was left by the mother of the main palace, and it was a family heirloom, and it should be passed down from generation to generation. Jinxi, do you understand what this palace means? ”

Concubine Zhao stared at Cheng Ziyu, seeing that Cheng Ziyu's eyes, which were originally full of pity, gradually made no secret of the banter and ridicule at this moment, the small fire in her heart began to breed and spread again.

She secretly scolded this little slut for being so cunning and alert, how could she not understand, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't care about herself.

Concubine Zhao pressed the fire, but in the end she still said it:

"An'er had a good impression of you early on, and he gave you pearls and gems just to show his heart. This palace knows his thoughts, so he is especially generous to you. In the end, you and An'er didn't succeed.

Right now, you're married to General Lee. So you see, can you return the collar and jasper bracelet to Hongu? You can rest assured, Hongu will definitely pick two other good things for you to send. Until you're satisfied. ”

Concubine Zhao just wants to get the things back quickly, as for compensation, heh, anyway, she has no valuables, you definitely can't look down on it. But then you are not satisfied, but it has nothing to do with you.

"Earlier, you were given a marriage and there was a glimmer of hope in this palace, but you are already a wife, and An'er has gone to the northwest. The two sample palaces still have to be given to the future daughter-in-law. Even if this palace is rude, I will open this mouth for you, Jinxi, you are empathetic, and there is no shortage of gold and silver jewelry, so return the things to this palace. “

Cheng Ziyu still smiled and said nothing. It's really poor and crazy. A dignified concubine, this is not even a face. But then again, when is she going to have her face? Anyway, everyone in the palace knows that she is a little family, and she is just revealing her true colors at the moment, who would be surprised?

Concubine Zhao's words were already clear, and the eyes of everyone in the room were fixed on Cheng Ziyu. These little eyes are weird, and there is a bit of a posture that she shouldn't have.

But Cheng Ziyu always smiled and didn't say anything, especially the smile, which became more and more dazzling.

The deeper the smile, the more childish Concubine Zhao looks.

Actually, it's not that she won't reply, but that Liu'er hasn't come back anyway, so she has to wait......

The housekeeper was busy jumping out to help the master speak.

"The county lord should also be sympathetic to the elders. Reactive power is not accepted, those two things are worth a lot of money, and it is really inappropriate for the county lord to occupy them. ”

Cheng Ziyu's brows began to furrow, and she turned her gaze to the grandmother.

Concubine Zhao's minions, heh, she has tried her best to ignore it in this life, but this grandmother still jumped out by herself. In her previous life, she was generous to this person, and when her son got married, the small courtyard was still her own silver. But at the end of the day? She helped Concubine Zhao to grind herself, and she also played right and wrong between Zhu Changan and Concubine Zhao......

In this life, do you still have to jump?

"Not suitable?" Cheng Ziyu lowered her eyes and spoke lowly. It was the first thing she said when she came in.

The grandmother saw it in her eyes, thinking that she was at a loss, and felt that there was a play, so she quickly made up for it: "Naturally, it is not suitable!" If you are Princess An, our mother will naturally not say a word. But in what capacity did you take away the gift that belonged to Princess An? It's not like you don't have any money, so how can you see these two things? ”

"Exactly, exactly!" Concubine Zhao nodded again and again. I can't speak, and I rely on this henchman at a critical time.

"What if I don't pay it back?" Cheng Ziyu smiled again.

Mama was stunned for a moment, her face became cold, and the little fake smile just now gradually put away.

"That would affect your reputation. You are a well-known good person in Beijing, Central and Jiangnan, who is not only a good person who builds a good hall but also builds roads and bridges, how can he occupy other people's property? You do good deeds and shake off tens of thousands of taels, do you still care about this thing? You have also seen that our mother is not rich, how can you bear to refuse the request of an elder? You have nothing to do with our mother, and you have accepted our mother's heirloom for no reason and do not return it, how can you go carelessly? Your reputation is excellent, and it is not easy to earn, and if a good reputation is lost for the sake of two things, will it not be worth the loss? The county lord is a smart man, and he is naturally ...... Ahh

Smack. Mama screamed.

Cheng Ziyu slapped him out. Well, I shook it myself. Just to relieve anger!

It's refreshing to fight back by yourself.

Her strength is never small, and she is holding back enough strength at this time, which is enough to teach that grandma a lesson. Sure enough, five fingerprints appeared on Mama's white and chubby old face in an instant, and they swollen at a visible speed.

"You dare—" Concubine Zhao and Mama spoke at the same time. "Ahh

Another "snap".

Cheng Ziyu slapped her backhand mercilessly, which shocked Concubine Zhao and bounced off the pillow, knocking Mama in place.
