Chapter 285: Chase and Fight
Concubine Zhao couldn't help sneering, she would rather think that Wen Lan was crazy at this point, and she couldn't believe that she was really so determined and resolute, regardless of the consequences, regardless of gains and losses, and Concubine Zhao's determination was also well-founded.
"Wenlan, don't forget, you have pulled and pulled my An'er several times, and you have been seen by others, and your reputation has long been tied to An'er. Now you are going to abandon An'er, have you thought about your reputation, your father and your Joseon......"
"Shut up! Don't you say I'm not that angry! Who is responsible for the destruction of my reputation? You vicious old monster! For the sake of silver and high position, you don't want to be embarrassed, and you do everything. You mothers and sons deserve to end up like this!
Do you think that if you murder me, you will bind me? I tell you, even if I go back to North Korea, even if I don't get married, even if I don't want my reputation, I won't get your wish! I'm disgusted to look at you all at this time!
But fortunately, just because of your son's ruined reputation at the moment, not only will no one care about my reputation, but everyone will think that I am a flower stuck in cow dung! Your son's reputation is so bad, everyone feels sorry for me!
So even if it's just for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, even if it's just to solve the holy problem, even if I'm useless, even if it's just to fight for a generous name, there are many people who are willing to line up to marry me regardless of my bad reputation!
Mother, you have time to care about my reputation, why don't you worry more about your son! After all, at this moment, he is in a worrying situation! ”
Concubine Zhao's hands were framed, but it did not prevent her from spitting hard.
"Oh, why am I so arrogant, it seems that I have found a good home! I underestimate you, you're not very old, and the means of seducing people are not small!
Who do you have a crush on? Crown Prince or Great Prince? They all have concubines, and if you go, aren't you also a concubine? If you refuse to be An'er's concubine, will you be able to escape the life of being a concubine? If they didn't get into that position, you wouldn't be more noble, would you? No matter how clever I am at you, I don't care about it! ”
Vinland sighed and smiled.
"I don't know much when Zhu Chang'an is a mouse, but I was wrong, it turned out to be genetic! You can't understand such a situation?
At this moment, the eldest prince and the crown prince are evenly matched, but the difference is not just a thrust? How do you know that I won't be that help? You and Zhu Changan worked so hard to win over me, and it wasn't just my silver that we valued, right? I believe that no matter which camp I really join, the situation will change dramatically at this moment! So, you say, are there any chances that I will be noble in the future?
You can't even see such obvious benefits, and you deserve to be mixed up like this. But you can put 10,000 hearts, I will be noble in the future, and I will not forget your mother and son! My Chinese master always taught me, 'The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring', and I think, I have understood! In the future, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely treat your mother and son well! ”
"You slut! Slut! I get it! You've been planning for a long time! It's you! You're the one who ruined my An'er's reputation! You did it on purpose! You did it, didn't you? ”
Concubine Zhao thought of Wen Lan admitting that she had been planning revenge since her birthday, that she had quietly found the emperor a long time ago, that she had deliberately kept it a secret, and that she had calculated her own money, and that her mind suddenly brightened......
"It's you, right? No wonder it will be so coincidental that day, there are so many teahouses in Yangzhou City, as soon as my An'er has an accident, I will let the princesses see it! It's you! It was you who found a prostitute to frame An'er, it was you who took the princesses for a while, it was you who made my An'er discredited and dealt with by the emperor, you were for revenge, for yourself! You're the one who started it! You do everything, right? ”
"Niangniang, don't you Zhou people always say that things can be eaten indiscriminately, and words can't be talked indiscriminately? Catch thieves and get dirty, and what you say and do is to tell the truth! The teahouse that day was where you Da Zhou princesses were going, and it was your Da Zhou princess who took the lead in rushing upstairs! It's not me! So it's none of my business!
You are so open-mouthed, but it hurts the face of my North Korea, you declare personal vendetta and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, be careful that I let the imperial uncle treat you for treason! ”
Wen Lan bit the last few words very hard, and although Concubine Zhao knew that it was just a threat, she was still a spirit.
"You...... You ......" Concubine Zhao was held by the two mothers-in-law, gritting her teeth and staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, eager to eat Wen Lan alive.
Wen Lan circled around Concubine Zhao.
"You should blame the person who when you step on, or blame yourself for being careless, but you can't blame others for not stepping on it with you, right?"
Concubine Zhao was so angry that she could hardly catch it. She gasped and took several deep breaths before relieving herself.
"Vinland, I don't argue with you! Let me go! You wait, I'm going to find the emperor! I have your IOU, and you owe me two thousand five hundred taels, in black and white! You can't run! Let go of me! Loosen! ”
"Done! There you go! Lu Qiao, pack up the list and the agreement, and let's go to the emperor with Concubine Zhao to reason! Quick, you two let go of the mother, mother, please! But ......"
Concubine Zhao was let go, but when she saw Wen Lan smiling ill-willedly, her wet back suddenly became cold, and she shivered, and her legs couldn't move anymore as if they were filled with lead.
"But can you think about it, what do you say about the origin of the two thousand five hundred taels of silver? I guess the emperor won't care about the accounts between you and me at all! The emperor only cares, more than two thousand taels, where did such a large amount come from! As you said, your annual income is less than three hundred taels. ”
Vinland leaned closer to her and met a pair of eyes that radiated a cold light.
"I all know that Zhu Changan is not rich, such a large sum of money fell from the sky, it is difficult to explain the small things, and it is true that people want to enter into it. Borrowed one? Who is so generous? I don't know if the emperor believes it or not? In case Niangniang has a little bit of a bad explanation, in case the origin of this silver is not clear, in case the saint thinks too much, in case the saint wants to investigate thoroughly, I am afraid that your An'er will be completely finished.
I heard that it was the first time that the saint handed over the task to Zhu Chang'an, right? This is the first time there is a suspicious point, heh, it is really disappointing. Zhu Changan is ruined, the tree is falling and scattered, it will affect a lot of people, right? I guess, Niangniang, you have no family status, no strong support, and your years have passed, the only reliance you can rely on to sit on the concubine seat is Zhu Changan, right? If he annoys the emperor, I'm afraid that the first one to be implicated is you! ”
Vinland's hot and humid breath spurted, and she couldn't resist this wave of stimulation at all, her legs were already weak, and she couldn't support her weak body with trembling, she couldn't stand in the end, and sat on the ground with limp slumps.
She knows better than anyone else the situation of her and her son.
For a period of time, the emperor was cold and silent to her, and occasionally disgust was revealed between his eyebrows. An'er can't protect herself at the moment, where does she dare to go to the emperor to ask for comment.
What's more, after twenty years of getting along, she doesn't know the emperor's temperament. The emperor is suspicious, Wen Lan is right, if this matter is poked out, the emperor will definitely be furious. And Vinlan represents a subject country, even if she makes a mistake, for the sake of face and long-term interests, the emperor will turn a blind eye. No matter what, you are bound to lose!
Concubine Zhao is like an ice cave, she has been wrong again and again, if she goes to the emperor at this moment, it will be an absolute mistake! Besides, An'er is in danger at the moment, and she can't afford to stand the slightest fork.
But is she going to swallow such a big loss?
"What are you going to do? You have persecuted our mother and son to such an extent, what do you want? Concubine Zhao barely supported her body, and tried to get up with the legs of the table.
"Don't worry! I know how to be a man and leave a line. It won't chase you hard! As long as you and I settle this account, this matter will be revealed. In the future, you and I will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road, and there will be no need to look at each other and get tired of each other! ”
Another palace maid retook the listed documents and brought them to Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Zhao really wanted to roll her eyes and faint. But where did she dare, today's Wenlan bit her like a mad dog, and the fear in her heart increased again and again, and she had no confidence at this time, and she didn't even dare to faint to death.
Concubine Zhao bit the tip of her tongue and strengthened her spirit.
"You said that according to this account, this account is over? I don't know if you have done anything, whether you have deliberately quoted indiscriminately, whether you have put something into an account that I have not seen. ”
"Mother's worried! These lists, a few of my girls have been counting for several days with their fingers crossed, you can rest assured, which one you can't remember, time, place, reason, my girl will remind you. As for me, I will never ask you for a tael or two of silver, and you don't want to lose anything!
The silver ticket I took out was purchased by my DPRK for my wedding, so the ticket numbers are all specially made, and all of them can be checked. Every item I send out is not simple from the source, there is a special brochure and number, and there are many people who handle it.
As for the things I bought for Zhu Changan, after I return to Beijing, I will also ask people to go to the seller to list the certificates, and all of them will be handed over to you. So you're still honest, don't think about any crooked ideas. ”
Vinland was condescending, and her eyes were full of smugness that she couldn't hide.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. According to the list, you still owe me 1,200 taels. So in this case, I give you two options. Or, you return the thousand two hundred taels. I also know that Zhu Changan is poor, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take out this silver in one go. Then I will allow you to pay it off within a year, and pay me a hundred taels a month. ”
Concubine Zhao's fingers trembled slightly, obviously tempting.
"However, my money was not stolen, and since you and I are no longer close, you have to write an IOU and add interest to such a large amount. The interest doesn't need to be much, three hundred taels a year, a total of 1,500 taels, fair, right? ”
Concubine Zhao's chest choked again. She couldn't say yes. Interest is a small matter, and the key is not to write an IOU. Otherwise, wouldn't he have sent the handle to Vinland? Isn't it being grasped?
She shook her head, she didn't do it!
"If you don't want to, you can! Then return to me the lotus throne golden incense burner and the seven-colored broken gemstone fan that I first met with you. Those two, I know you like them very much, the incense burner is placed in your bedroom, as for the fan, you still brought it with you when you went south this time, and you plan to take it out on the day of the birthday banquet to support the scene, right? If you give it back to me, then the account between you and me will be written off! How is it? ”
Concubine Zhao was angry. When Vinland brought these two, she looked straight in the eye. She had already asked someone to estimate the price, and the incense burner alone was worth a thousand taels of silver. plus that fan, the value is really fifteen or six hundred taels.
This Vinland is too ruthless! She had already figured it out, just waiting for herself to take the bait. No matter how hard you struggle, the consequences will be the same.
"I ...... I'm going to think about it. ”
"Don't think about it, mother, you're full, aren't you? You don't need me to remind you of the birthday feast, do you? If I were you, the top priority would be to hurry up and think about how to recover the decline, hurry up to prepare for the birthday gift, and hurry up to think of pulling my son! If you entangle with me again, then the daylily will be cold! ”
Vinland put away her smile, "Someone! Serve Concubine Zhao's pen and ink! ”
The four treasures of the study were quickly paved.
"Hurry up, mother, you either hurry up and write an IOU for the silver or an IOU for something. After writing my person, send you back, you should hurry up and go out to raise money to prepare for your birthday gift! Don't play tricks, otherwise, I will take the silver ticket of two thousand taels to the Holy One to sue you for the royal court......"
Concubine Zhao was shaky, but Wen Lan didn't give her a chance to delay at all, forcing her to express her position immediately.
Concubine Zhao had no choice but to return the two treasures.
Wen Lan took the note written by Concubine Zhao that she would return the treasure fan immediately, and return the incense burner after returning to Beijing, and smiled like a flower.
"That's right, my father prepared these things for me, so naturally they should be used in valuable places. Your mother and son are used to being down, and you can't draw a tiger if you take these, so don't make people laugh and be generous! ”
"You're enough, can Hongu go?"
"Let's go! Green Qiao, follow Concubine Zhao to get the treasure fan! By the way, my master asked me to follow the local customs, and if I want to learn hospitality, then I will send you well! Come on, let's talk as we go.
Actually, there's a secret that I haven't told you. My father prepared 50,000 taels of silver for my marriage and the profits of all Korean ginseng transactions in the capital, and my father said that on the day I got married, he would let me marry with red makeup for ten miles. Oh, by the way, and my father gave me a gold mine to marry.
Although the gold mine cannot belong to my husband, I suspect that the emperor will express his joy in another form. Concubine Zhao, I guess, my husband, will be able to get the job of developing and managing that gold mine. This errand, do you say fat or not? Is it enough?
Yo, don't roll your eyelids, I'm not done yet! You too, you are always so uncomposed, if I were you, why should you marry me back first. When I become your daughter-in-law, you mother-in-law, it's not easy to suppress me? At that point, won't you be able to eat me to death with a casual trick? At that time, the people will be yours, the silver will be yours, and your sons will have status and status. Do you regret it now?
But you can't wait, you always want to eat from the bowl and look at the pot. Your son has been a mother like you for eight lifetimes, and he is destined to be difficult to get ahead!
But I want to thank you, it was because you were there that I didn't jump into your son's fire pit! I'm so grateful, so you can come and sit back often when you have time. Although there are no good things for you, there will always be tips. Hey, sis, what's wrong with you? Empress? ……”
