Chapter 40 The dog eats instead
In the last book, it was said that Xin Yao only wanted to take care of her own one-third of an acre of land, and she was very disdainful of Ju Lian's climbing into bed.
Mother Li smiled: "That's right, now that the spring flowers are blooming, and there is nothing going on in the house, Miss can't help but make an appointment with the second wife to go out for a walk together." The money shopkeeper and Yiyuan all brought news. Yinggui said it several times, and she just looked forward to seeing the young lady. In the past two days, it has been lively outside, and I heard that three days later, it will be the day of the great joy of the granddaughter of the six princes and the secretary of the military department, and the lights on the street are colorful, which is more festive than the New Year. ”
Xin Yao didn't speak, thinking about things in her heart.
After the Lantern Festival, after the anniversary of the Queen Mother, the emperor began to exert his strength, the dark tide surging in the court, and all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods began to show their magical powers. This will make the six princes tie the knot with the military department Shangshu, I am afraid it will have a deep meaning.
Xin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What else did my mother hear?" ”
Mother Li smiled: "I haven't heard anything of the others, I only heard that Shi Rumei looks like a fairy, and the country is overwhelmed." In order to marry her, the six princes even emptied their mansions, just to make a smile on the beauty. The warblers and Yanyan in the backyard all drove out, and when they heard that there were dozens, they cried and refused to leave at the door of the house. Miss, in this world, there really is a person with a good life, a good family background, good looks, and even better marriage, which is really enviable! ”
Xin Yao smiled: "Mom, what is there to envy, the word 'heard' is the most unbelievable, from your mouth to my mouth, and then from my mouth to his mouth, I don't know how many times it has increased or decreased in the middle." We just have to live our lives, no matter how good the lives of others are, they are also others. ”
Mother Li said: "What Miss said is that the slave maid heard that the six princes are handsome and extraordinary, and his marriage has caused many women in the capital to cry for him." You said that these two people are not the legendary fairy couple, a natural pair? ”
Xin Yao said with a smile: "If mom has something to say, don't say it directly." ”
Mother Li secretly looked at the young lady's face. With a heart, he said: "Miss, don't think your mother talks too much, Miss is fifteen years old this year." It should have looked like it a long time ago, and my mother didn't ask for anything else, but asked God to give you a good man like the Six Princes. ”
Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mom, how do you know that the sixth prince is a good man?" ”
Mother Li pursed her lips and said, "Miss, you see, not to mention the noble status of the sixth prince, he is good-looking, and he is infatuated with Miss Shi, and he can even give up the concubines in the house, isn't he a good man?" ”
Jiang Xinyao listened. couldn't help laughing: "Mom, if the six princes are really infatuated, how did the dozens of concubines in the mansion come from?" If you want me to say, he should be as protective as a jade for Miss Shi, not close to women. The heart is like a rock, and the loyalties are different. ”
Mother Li finally had a object of worship recently, but she was told by the young lady, and of course she was not convinced. Just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Xin Yao.
"Mother, although the prodigal son said that the gold will not be exchanged, don't forget a sentence. Dogs can't change their eating. I don't want such a man! ”
Mother Li was blocked in her chest in one breath, she couldn't go up or down, so she had to stomp her feet and say, "Miss, you can be poor with me." Such a man can't be found with a lantern. The third lady will go out in half a year, and the young lady is still in decline, so I'm really anxious! ”
Seeing this, Xin Yao stepped forward and hugged her. Zhengse said: "Mom, don't worry, there will naturally be fate when it comes." Mom said to my mother, so that she would be free tomorrow and accompany me to the street, this time, I didn't take anyone, only my mother alone. ”
Mother Li was about to say more, but she heard Xin Yao cough a few times, so she glanced at the young lady resentfully, and went out reluctantly.
After Jiang Xinyao waited for Li's mother to leave, she walked to the dressing table, picked up the bronze mirror and took a photo, and said to herself: "Forcing me to marry at the age of fifteen is destroying the seedlings of the motherland, and this is a naked crime...... It's hard to find a lantern, who is rare, hum ......"
……
At this moment, the man who Jiang Xinyao called a dog can't change eating is standing respectfully in front of the desk, boredly playing with the folding fan in his hand. Open, close, open again, close again.
There were four men whispering in the row below.
After a long time, the man in white at the desk put down his pen, raised his face, waved at the four people, and the four of them saluted.
Only then did the man in white say leisurely: "Sixteen, the day after tomorrow is your big day, you give me some peace." Shi Jie, that old guy, is very cunning, typical of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, I don't care about anything else, once Shi Rumei is pregnant, what do you want to do, as long as it is not outrageous, the second brother will promise you. ”
Yan Sixteen said in every way: "Second brother, don't worry, I can tell which is more important and which is more important." ”
The man in white got up, walked to Yan Sixteen's side, patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Sixteen, from the beginning of being embattled and his life hanging by a thread, to today's sword and sword rain, it is about to erupt, our brothers have walked all the way, it can be said that they are walking on thin ice, the old man's body will not last for a few years, and our life will not be easy in the past few years." ”
Yan Sixteen was dressed in a bright and luxurious brocade fur, with blue corset arrow sleeves, and a vermilion three-inlaid white jade belt, and said seriously: "What are you afraid of?" Compared to the days when I was a child, it is now considered heaven. Second brother, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it for you. There is Tianxiang in the palace, and Xiaohan in the capital helps you guard it, so it won't be bad. We don't have anyone on the Jingshi garrison side, and the second brother has to guard against it.
The man's sword eyebrows were slightly locked, and his thin lips said lightly: "Don't worry, take your time, how about the south?" ”
Yan Sixteen raised his eyes slightly, and said truthfully: "The south has always been the territory of the eldest brother, and it is tightly controlled. Every year, we get a lot of money for him, and we can't get involved. The major families in the south have an inextricable relationship with the woman's mother's family, all of which were laid down by the Queen Mother in her early years, and now it has become a climate, and it is not easy to destroy it. ”
The man stroked his forehead and sighed: "The old man retired a few years ago, this time I want to do it, it's too late, the south is the richest, the silver can't fall into the treasury, and it has become his private treasury, no wonder people are rich, which is like our brothers." ”
A ball of fire erupted from Yan Sixteen's eyes, and he said hatefully, "What does the old man mean? It sounds good, but there is no benefit at all in reality, money, money is not, people, just a few, what is the matter? ”
The man was silent for a long time, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
"What he thinks, I know very well. If you have the ability, you can grab it, if you don't have the ability, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance. In the end, I'm still afraid of being infamy. However, it's not that it's not without any benefits, the few hard bones in the court are all his people, and this will have been given to me, otherwise, you think that I can let Shi Jie's old guy marry his granddaughter to you. ”
The man's words changed: "This Shi Rumei, you have to coax me to make offerings." I heard that you haven't lived in the house these months? Hurry up and move me back. ”
Yan Sixteen smiled and disguised: "Ming'er will move." If nothing else, I'll go first. ”
"Slow, why are you in a hurry to leave as soon as you talk about your business, what's the origin of that Yiyuan, I heard that you have a share here?"
Yan Sixteen chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "A friend's private house, doing some small business, I look a little interesting, and I have entered a share." ”
"What kind of business?"
"I didn't do any business, to put it bluntly, it is a restaurant, with two rooms in the back, if the second brother is interested another day, my brother will take you on a trip and try it."
"Xu Hongyuan's open?"
"Sort of." Yan Sixteen knew that he couldn't hide it, so he only answered vaguely.
"This Xu Hongyuan has only been worrying for a few months, and he has the heart to do this, but he is a powerful one, I heard that Jinjue Pavilion is also his?"
Yan Sixteen snorted and said with a smile: "Second brother, this matter is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, another day when you are free, my brother will tell you in detail." ”
"It's okay, I haven't seen him for a few days, so I will go back and find a time, call those two, and get together together. At noon tomorrow, accompany me to see someone, Shen Ping, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”
"Isn't the old fox traveling all year round, why did he come back? At the end of last year, I went to the Northwest Army, and I drank with his grandson Shen Li, who is a man. ”
"That's good, tomorrow at noon, Drunken Immortal Building."
Yan Sixteen rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Second brother, on another day, they will rest tomorrow, and the brothers will get together." Later, when you become a parent, it is not so convenient. ”
The man sneered: "Where is it, Yiyuan?" ”
Yan Sixteen shrank his head and hurriedly said: "Second brother, it's better to be like this, I'll help you set a table in Yiyuan, I'll accompany you to meet someone first, and then I'll ...... You see......"
"Look at what you see, just do as you say!"
Yan Sixteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face and frowned, and then smiled at the man with a flattering face.
The two of them talked a little more about the side, and Yan Sixteen only smeared oil on the bottom of his leg and slipped away.
After Yan Sixteen left, the original four men rushed in.
When the man saw them coming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come here, help me see how to talk to that Shen Ping tomorrow......
……
The next morning, Xin Yao got up, only to find that it had rained outside all night, and she suddenly wilted.
Yesterday, the spring breeze was warm, the spring was bright, the spring flowers were blooming, how did she go out, but it was bitter wind and rain.
The water came in with a slight cloud, and she looked at the depressed look of the young lady and said with a smile: "Miss, I heard Mother Li say that the scenery of the garden in the rain is good, the water is the water, the bridge is the bridge, and the garden in the south of us is a little similar, Miss get up quickly, don't let the second wife wait." ”
Jiang Xinyao turned her mind a few times, and then lazily got up from the quilt and washed.
After greeting the old lady, the mother and daughter took a carriage together to go to the Jinjue Pavilion in the south of the city. At the door of Jinjue Pavilion, the money shopkeeper was waiting early, and when he saw the carriage of the Jiang Mansion slowly coming, he personally greeted him.
Xin Yao slowly turned around in the shop, first looked at the furnishings of the store, then took a look at the account books of the past two months, and chatted with the shopkeeper in detail about the situation of the shop after the Chinese New Year, thought for a moment, and told the shopkeeper about the problems of the shop one by one. As small as the angle of a piece of wear, to the loopholes in the account book, every sentence goes straight to the point.
The more the money shopkeeper listened, the more shocked he became, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. (..)
