Chapter 208 Grievances should be resolved rather than settled

(Thanks to the "Royal Honey" for the tip.) In the winter of creation, when all kinds of rewards and monthly passes are so scarce, the pro-rewards are like charcoal in the snow, deeply warming the wounded heart of a heart............ ）

When the carriage stopped, the little one got out of the carriage as if he were taking a leisurely stroll. The moment they got out of the car, Cui Qiao and Yao Shan both stepped forward to support their little arms. This slight action fell in the eyes of the group of strong men in green clothes, and their hearts couldn't help but drum a little. When you get off the bus, you have to hold your arm, which is an unwritten habit of the ladies of the court. Who is this little lady?

Xiao Xiao saw the change in the complexion of these evil servants, smiled slightly, and did not make a sound. No matter how much she doesn't communicate with these noble ladies in Jingshi, she still has a few aunts and elders who have been noble ladies for many years, and the eldest grandson queen teaches her some 'unspoken rules' between noble ladies from time to time. For these rules, with her clever mind, she is naturally familiar with them. Today, she followed these evil servants with a tentative attitude, and in order to prevent the people in this mansion from being rude to her, she pretended to unintentionally reveal some noble women's manners, so that these people did not dare to act rashly.

Several Jiang Mansion guards were carefully selected from dozens of guards in Huayin's Zuixiao Villa. They are retired sergeants in the army, and they are full of fierceness. Be able to be selected to serve as a small personal bodyguard. Naturally know a lot of secrets that other people don't know. Don't look at this Mrs. Jiang> she is petite, but there is enough energy behind her to make all the princes and nobles retreat. Therefore, when they arrived at the ground and looked up and saw the "Yan Mansion" hanging on the door of the house, all of them were already relieved in their hearts. In this mansion in the East Market, if the surname is Li or simply hangs a sign like a certain palace, they may still have scruples. Yama? Sorry, but not enough for them to cramp their legs and feet......

Although he was not timid at all in his heart, Mrs. "> did not speak, and they are naturally not too arrogant. It's just firmly guarded in the small front and back, left and right, opening the way for the small.

The leader of the evil servants in Tsing Yi ran to the gate of the mansion and whispered a few words to the family members who were on duty at the door. The housekeeper gave a few sympathetic glances, and then ran quickly into the house, apparently to inform them of the lady "> gone." Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry, standing quietly outside the door, with a demure smile on her face, as if she was not here to face an unknown trouble, but to visit a close friend in her boudoir.

She was so calm that more than 20 evil servants in Tsing Yi did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, so they had to stand at the gate of the mansion one by one like wooden stakes, waiting for the lady of their family to come and > to come and leave. Soon, the man who ran in came out, looked at Xiaoxiao, and then turned to the leader of the evil servants in Tsing Yi and said:

"Mr. Xiao, madam" > let you bring people in! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the little heart, okay, it turned out to be a family. The smile on his face has not faded. I heard the manager Xiao say to himself in a stiff tone:

"Little lady, please? Less words, my wife, "> waiting for you to apologize in the main hall......"

Xiao Xiaoyan smiled: "It's hard work!" As he spoke, he moved lightly and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Several guards behind him, such as Cui Qiao and Yao Shan, also hurriedly raised their steps and followed closely, but they heard Manager Xiao continue very unkindly:

"Little lady, you can go in alone, and the other idle people are still waiting here!"

Xiao Xiao stopped when he heard this, looked back at Yao Shan and the others, and was about to tell them to wait here. But when he saw Yao Shan pull out his waist knife with a 'whoosh', he angrily said to Mr. Xiao:

"You slave, we are my wife" >'s personal guard, how can you command it casually? One more word, cut off your tongue! ”

Manager Xiao's eyes widened: No! Why did this girl become so arrogant all of a sudden? looked back at the little lady he thought was weak and deceitful, but saw that she still had the same demure smile on her face as just now. It seems that there is nothing wrong with this guard's actions in her opinion! The drum has already begun to beat in my heart: I won't provoke any great people, right? Although Shaozi thought so, this was his base camp, and there were more than twenty family members with murder weapons around him, where could he be so soft. So he also pulled out his waist knife, and shouted at Mai Mang's sharp voice with the tip of the needle:

"This is the Yan Mansion, not the Zuiyue Tower of your master. Lao Tzu advises you to be smart and abide by some rules, otherwise you will be allowed to come in vertically and go out horizontally......"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, it turned out that Yao Shan took out a waist card of the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion from his body at some point, and dangled it in front of him:

"Dog minion, I want to see if your Yan Mansion really dares to let me and my wife" > come in vertically and go out horizontally! ”。

The head of Xiao had green tendons on his neck, but he was silent for a long time. He is not too worried about the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, with his status as the master of his family, even if he beats this commander of the government soldiers to the ground today and can't get up, there will be no trouble. The point is that the bastard in front of him with a waist card in his hand is just the guard of the little lady in front. This is troublesome, who can use the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion as a guard, who must be?

Xiaoxiao didn't want to see this kind of tense scene, and said softly at the door of the house:

"Yao Shan, don't be like him, you all follow Mrs. Ben "> in......" Although the tone is light, the weight is extremely heavy. That was not in his eyes at all, so after hearing this, Manager Xiao's face suddenly turned purple, and he couldn't let out a fart after a long time, so he could only watch Xiaoxiao lead the maid and the guard into the mansion with a swagger.

This luxurious mansion is the Yan Mansion of Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty. Half a year ago, because of his involvement in the assassination of Empress Jin Changsun, Yan Lide was demoted to the rank of squire of the Ministry of Works. Now that half a year has passed, Yan Lide is also the father-in-law of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the in-law of Li Shimin. In addition, the suppression of the rebellion by the mountain bureaucrats requires the strong support and cooperation of the Ministry of Industry in many places. Therefore, in the middle of the month, the synodic is upward. Li Shimin officially announced that Yan Lide was reinstated and still held the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry!

At this time, the lady who was about thirty years old, dressed quite charmingly, and had a sultry posture sitting in the main hall of the Yan Mansion, was Yan Lide's wife Cui, and at the same time, she was the biological mother of Princess Wei. Judging by her appearance, she may be regarded as a beauty when she is young. It's just that now, a hint of violence and thin lips faintly revealed between her eyebrows make people feel that she must not be such a good person.

At noon today, she went to the famous Xingshan Temple in Beijing to burn incense and make a vow, thanking the Bodhisattva for the blessing of the gods, so that her husband was finally reinstated as an official who got his wish. When he came back, he passed through the intersection of the West Market, but was hit by his carriage by a group of craftsmen carrying a huge piece of wood. Suddenly, her good mood vanished. The guards told him that when these craftsmen were renovating and renovating the Zuiyue Tower, she had already had a bad plan.

She was originally a greedy person by nature, after her husband Yan Lide became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Many officials of the Ministry of Industry seized on her greedy nature for money, and did not give gifts to Yan Lide at all, but to her. Then attach what you have asked for. Cui Shi accepted the benefits of others, and often blew pillow wind to Yan Lide. Although Yan Lide can barely be regarded as an honest and self-disciplined person, he can't help her soft grinding and hard bubbles, and she is a member of the Cui family of the Hedong Wang clan, so she can only agree in the end.

And today, I learned that these craftsmen were actually renovating and rebuilding the Zuiyue Building. The greed in her heart suddenly became out of control, what is the concept of Drunken Moon Tower, she has lived in Beijing for half her life, and she is naturally clear. The person who can open the drunken moon building is definitely a rich man. Although she also had a moment of hesitation. In the capital of the country, most of the rich people have rights. But when she thought of her husband's prominent official status, as well as her daughter's son-in-law's status as the prince and princess, she no longer had any scruples. Moreover, when she thought of her son-in-law, she remembered again, wasn't this drunken moon building the secret property of King Wei before? Since the assassination of the queen mother, the drunken moon tower has been seized. Some time ago, her daughter came back and said that it was impossible for King Wei to control Zuiyue Tower anymore. Putting all this together, she had the idea of extorting a sum of money by being hit......

When Xiao Xiao walked into the main hall, he saw Cui's bitter face. Seeing her come in, Cui Shi was stunned for a moment: Why is it a woman? And so young, so ...... Good looks......? In comparison, I can't help but feel a little ashamed, when I stand up, I snort heavily, intending to give Xiaoxiao a dismount first, and by the way, I also found some psychological balance.

"Who let you in? Give Mrs. Ben "> get out!" After humming, she pointed to Yao Shan, Cui Qiao and others who were following Xiaoxiao, and scolded sharply, not caring about Xiaoxiao's feelings at all.

On the way in, Yao Shan had already roughly figured out who was in this place, and had already told Xiaoxiao the news. When facing a "three-grade lady" >, he was still a little frightened, and he didn't dare to take out the waist card given by Li Rusong to scare people like he did to those evil servants outside. Therefore, after listening to Cui's reprimand, he and several guards behind him were in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao was empathetic, came to someone's house, ignored the rules of people's house, and entered the main hall with guards and weapons, which is indeed a bit excessive. Therefore, after listening to Cui's scolding, she also turned around and smiled at Yao Shan and the others:

"Wait outside, let Mrs. Ben" > and Mrs. Yan "> talk well......" and then turned his head, a quiet and calm smile on his face again. A salute to Cui's Yingying: "The little girl Xiao Xiaoxiao has seen Mrs. Yan's ">......"

Cui Shi listened to her self-introduction, and faintly felt a little familiar in his heart: Xiao Xiaoxiao? I think I've heard of this name somewhere! However, for a moment and a half she couldn't remember. smiled sneeringly at the moment: "Hehe, I didn't expect the little lady to be from the same family as the people of this house, so I rushed to this, Mrs. Ben "> be generous, allow you to sit and talk......"

Xiaoxiao was not angry, and actually sat down according to his words. After sitting down, he spoke softly:

"I heard that when my craftsmen were carrying wood, they accidentally collided with the carriage of the lady" >, and the little woman specially came to the door to apologize, and asked Mrs. Yan to "> you have a lot of them, and I will bear with me." The little woman is willing to contribute a thousand yuan to compensate her wife for the fright of ">!" ”

At this time, a maid walked over with a welcome tea according to the previous practice, and wanted to hand it to Xiaoxiao. Unexpectedly, Cui's scolded again: "Who let you serve tea?" Go down! ”。 That maid was scolded inexplicably, wasn't it like this in the past? Of course, she never dared to refute, so she had to retreat with a tea cup aggrieved. When the maid retreated, Cui Shi sneered and "snorted":

"A thousand? Little lady, you should be Mrs. Ben" > are you the kind of scoundrel on the street, looking for you to extort money? Do you know that those rough craftsmen in the drunken Moon Building smashed the wheels and body of Mrs. Ben's "> carriage, and even the horses with the cart were frightened, and almost went crazy to make Mrs. Ben" >die on the spot. Can this be appeased by a thousand times? ”。

There was a burst of amusement in the little heart, even if it was a thousand times, Mrs. Ben "can't give it to you >, I just want to see what kind of way you, an insatiable woman, will come up with to blackmail Mrs. Ben"> so that it will be convenient to deal with it after the opening of Zuiyue Building in the future! Thinking like this in his heart, his mouth was still in a respectful tone:

"Then Mrs> meaning, how much does the little woman need to compensate? ”

Cui's heart was happy when he heard this, this is the appearance of letting himself be slaughtered. Thinking like this, he hesitantly stretched out his index finger, and when he was halfway through, he stretched out his heart horizontally, and stretched out his originally curled middle finger, made a V-shape, and put it in front of Xiaoxiao.

"Two thousand?" , Xiaoxiao endured the smile in her heart and asked casually!

"Bah, you are still Mrs. Ben" > are you a beggar? 20,000! Cui Shi shouted loudly.

"Sizzle......". Xiao Xiao gasped, it was really embarrassing for her, this was even open, there was no, wasn't it just that the carriage was hit by wood, and it cost 20,000 yuan, even if it was the most luxurious carriage in this era, 20,000 yuan could buy twenty cars. Of course, the kind of super carriage with gold and jade that the royal rode in didn't count! However, if you hit a carriage like that, it's not a matter of losing money......

Cui Shi gasped when he saw Xiaoxiao, and knew that he had indeed gone too far. After hesitating for a moment, he pretended to be negotiable:

"However, Mrs. Ben" > seeing that your attitude of admitting your mistakes and pleading guilt is quite correct, and she can't bear to compromise for you. In this way, you take 10,000 yuan, and the matter will be revealed......"

"Nonsense, nonsense! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding......" Just when Xiaoxiao was about to answer, a thick middle-aged male voice sounded behind him, Xiaoxiao looked back, and saw a burly, dignified and sleek man, about forty years old, hurriedly walked into the main hall. Look at what he is wearing, it is the crimson official robe that only the third-rank master can wear. Xiaoxiao immediately made a judgment in his heart: this person must be Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Sure enough, after the man walked in quickly, he didn't look at Cui Shi above. Instead, he bowed slightly, and then smiled a little unnaturally:

"Misunderstanding, please also ask Mrs. Jiang" > forgive me, Uchiko...... Uchiko: I'm kidding you! ”

Xiao Xiao smiled when he heard this: "Presumably this is Lord Yan, right?" The little woman with few words is polite. Mrs. Zun" > joke, but it really scared the little woman's heart, hehe. Lord Yan, the little girl wants to go back to the house to rest for a while, and calm down the frightened heart and liver of Mrs. Zun's ">, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, yes, but ...... Mrs. Jiang: "> don't you drink tea before leaving?" Yan Lide replied repeatedly.

"No, the tea in your house, the little woman is afraid that she will not be blessed." The little yin and yang replied angrily, and then looked back at the lady Yan who looked like she was gritting her teeth, ">, it is quite a bit of a fall into the well:

"The maids of your mansion served fragrant tea, and they were all reprimanded by Mrs. Zun for ">......"

When Yan Lide heard this, he glared at his wife with great annoyance, "> glance, and then quickly changed his face, and said to Xiao Dao with a smile: "This is even more of a misunderstanding, what the maid brought up must be the tea for ordinary guests." Like Mrs. Jiang> such a distinguished guest, naturally she wants to change the tea, so Neiko drank the maid back and asked her to make good tea, hehe, or please Mrs. Jiang ">Wait for a while, drink a cup of welcome tea, and it's not too late to leave, okay?" ”

The little heart hesitated, drinking tea is just a superficial thing. In fact, both sides are people with heads and faces, how can some words be broken? Yan Lide was an official in the court with his husband, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he naturally knew the weight of his husband in His Majesty's heart. And he often walks around the palace, and he must have heard of his relationship with the queen's mother. When something like this happened today, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Therefore, he must save himself for this cup of tea. If you drink it yourself, it means that you will be safe from now on, and this matter will pass. If you resolutely refuse, it means that you are obsessed with this matter and will not stop there. In that case, Yan Lide will definitely deal with it, and Jiang Mansion and Yan Mansion may even be pinched......

Thinking of the annoying Zhu Xin and Wu Siyuan, he sighed cautiously, just a few enemies above the court. What's more, today's incident is indeed not a big deal, and it is the first time that their own craftsmen hit people, so there is no need to erect another strong enemy. After all, it's better to settle a grievance than to settle it! Thinking like this, a flower-like smile bloomed on her pretty face, and she suddenly said:

"I see, but the little woman misunderstood Mrs. Yan's meaning, "> meaning, then this cup of tea, the little woman must taste it carefully......"

Yan Lide was overjoyed, turned around and greeted the maid urgently: "What are you doing in a daze?" Tea, tea, tea, good tea, fast and good tea......"

Mrs. Yan at the head of the main hall ">, looking at her husband and this Mrs. Jiang in the field in confusion" > close. After a while, he suddenly remembered and patted his head hatefully: no wonder this name sounds so familiar!

While thinking about it, he quickly piled up a mixed smile on his face and came over......
