Chapter Twenty-Five: Collusion (including Xuanyuan...
Pei Shufen was taken aback. When Mrs. Ningyuan Hou and Ningyuan Hou Chuhua were chatting in the house, Pei Shufen thought that only he had heard it, could it...·?
"What do you say? - I...... I...... I don't understand. Pei Shufen said inwardly.
Liu Menghan patted Pei Shufen's hand with a fan, and said with a smile: "Don't say dark words in front of Ming people. Now that the saint is about to be established, the Dingnan Hou Mansion has the help of Zhao Zhiqing, the first assistant, like a dark horse to kill, and he will win the posterior. - If the concubine of the Dingnan Marquis Mansion becomes the queen, with the temperament of the mother and son of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, will Aunt Qi continue to be a concubine? What's more, Aunt Qi had a marriage contract with Marquis Ning Yuan back then. He was already laughing and trembling.
Pei Shufen deflated like a deflated ball, looked at Liu Menghan and stammered, "How did you know this?" ”
Liu Menghan shook the fan with a smile and said, "Mountain people have their own place. "It's a sale.
Pei Shufen looked at Liu Menghan's current dress and bearing, and then thought about the appearance of her cloth dress in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion that day, kneeling in front of everyone, it was really a bit wrong.
Liu Menghan saw the doubt in Pei Shufen's eyes, and knew that if he didn't say anything, he would definitely not be able to trust her. Liu Menghan thought about it for a long time, and felt that in the current Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, only Pei Shufen, the wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan, could win it over and stand on his side.
Besides, in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Liu Menghan naturally has his own manpower, and he knows everything about the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but he still knows the important things well.
"I'll be honest with you, I came back this time, firstly, to get back my rightful name, so that my two children could also be on the genealogy of the Chu family, and secondly, I wanted to help the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion and the three princes." Liu Menghan smiled and said half-truths to Pei Shufen.
Pei Shufen was silent for a long time and said, "Your name has nothing to do with me. But if you want to help the Marquis of Ningyuan and the three princes, you can't just talk about it. It is implied that Liu Menghan wants to show some "visible" sincerity.
Liu Menghan heard the song and knew the elegance, and took out a piece of paper that had been prepared a long time ago and showed it to Pei Shufen.
Pei Shufen took it suspiciously, saw a number written on it, frowned slightly, and asked Liu Menghan: "...... What do you mean? ”
Liu Menghan smiled: "This is the silver that the master left me for self-defense." If you are willing to cooperate with me and help me return to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, I can take out this silver and treat it as the public property of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. - All you have to do is give half to my son. "I actually know that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion has been separated.
Pei Shufen's heart beat violently.
This amount of silver is written on the flower paper, and all the property of the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is added up, and then quadrupled, so that there is this number. Even if it was half, it would be more than twice what they would have received after the split.
Pei Shufen suppressed the excitement in her heart, gently put the flower note back on the table, and smiled at Liu Menghan: "This is a benefit to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion." ”
Liu Menghan smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and a maid came in from outside and asked Liu Menghan, "What does Madame command?" ”
Liu Menghan raised his head and chuckled, "Take out the meeting gift I prepared for Mrs. Ning Yuanhou." ”
The maid answered yes and withdrew. When he came back, he was already holding a small box of rosewood in his hand and sent it to Liu Menghan.
Liu Menghan took the small box and didn't look at it, so he put it in front of Pei Shufen and said, "Be careful, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou will see if you like it." ”
Pei Shufen reached out and took the small box, opened it and looked at it, and saw that there were several deeds on the upper layer. Looking through the deed book and taking a closer look, it is the land deed of ten hectares of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the deed of three shops. —This great gift is sturdy.
Pei Shufen opened the lower layer again, and as soon as he lifted the lid, the jewels inside poured out.
Pei Shufen let out a low exclamation and quickly closed the lid. After mozing the box in his hand for a long time, he pushed it back to Liu Menghan and said, "It's late, you might as well take these things and give them to Mrs. Tai." Maybe it's even more effective.
Liu Menghan pursed his lips and smiled, pushed the box back to Pei Shufen's hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't it that the first assistant Zhao Zhiqing supports the concubine of the Dingnan Hou Mansion as a successor?" - Just this little thing, it scared you out of the six gods? ”
Pei Shufen shook his head with a wry smile, didn't want to talk anymore, got up and said, "My trouble is imminent." If you have a way, say it as soon as possible. If you can't, don't waste my time. ”
Liu Menghan sat there, as steady as Mount Tai, and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." We are going to do great things, how can we be so breathless? ”
Pei Shufen's face changed unpredictably, and she looked at Liu Menghan without saying a word.
Liu Menghan beckoned her to sit down and said, "Mrs. Tai is a fool and can't afford to take on a big responsibility. Ning Yuanhou, in the end, is a man, it's okay to be an errand outside, but if he can give advice, the old man will not do everything possible to help him marry Pei Shufan. ”
Pei Shufen heard that even Liu Menghan praised Sister Yan, she was very worried, and pouted: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?" - Pei Shufan didn't even understand the matter in his house, so he went to rob the man's job······" The tone was very disrespectful to Sister Chang.
Liu Menghan was a little stunned, her red mouth opened slightly, and she looked at Pei Shufen speechless.
Pei Shufen knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly covered it up: "Say, what kind of method do you have?" If it works, I'll think about whether I can help you again. ”
Liu Menghan came back to his senses and said to Pei Shufen: "If you are willing to cooperate with me, you will accept this meeting gift, and then wait for my good words." ”
Pei Shufen looked at Liu Menghan suspiciously: "What do you want?" "It's just an outer room, how can you fight people like Dingnan Hou Mansion and Shoufu Zhao Zhiqing?
Liu Menghan didn't tell the truth, but when he got up to say goodbye, he said casually: "The Dingnan Hou Mansion has the strong support of Zhao Zhiqing, the first assistant, and they really took Zhao Zhiqing's handle. — Now, I happen to know what this handle is. As long as Zhao Zhiqing is overthrown, the concubines of the Dingnan Hou Mansion will not be in trouble. ”
Pei Shufen was taken aback, walked a few steps to stop Liu Menghan, and asked her with wide eyes, "What do you mean?" - You want to bring down Shoufu Zhao Zhiqing?! ”
Liu Menghan chuckled, "Aren't you stupid to go home?" - I know that your second sister is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shoufu family, and if the first assistant falls, your second sister will inevitably be unlucky. Have you figured it out? If you can't bear it, you can go to Shoufu's house right now to report the news. I'm not afraid. ”
Pei Shufen remembered the humiliation and cold treatment she received at the second sister's house just now, and laughed heartily: "I know that God treats me well!" - How can I be so easily defeated! Then he swore an oath with Liu Menghan's three high-fives.
Liu Menghan reminded Pei Shufen with a smile: "Zhao Zhiqing is down, it's time for your eldest brother to be the first assistant." At that time, the mother and son of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion will never dare to fight your idea again. ”
When Pei Shufen heard this, she thought about it again. She knew that she had never taken her mother's family to heart before, thinking that as long as she was favored and trusted by Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai, she would be able to do no disadvantage. Now I know that my mother's family is so important to the women of the Great Qi Dynasty. I also understand why it is difficult for orphans to find a decent marriage. She used to offend her mother's family very much, and she didn't know if she could make her mother's family look up to her family a little bit through this incident.
Liu Menghan walked out of the teahouse, got into his car, and instructed the coachman: "Go back to the mansion." "I don't plan to pretend to be poor anymore.
The mansion next to the courtyard she rented was actually one of her properties in the capital.
Liu Menghan's henchman Aunt Jiang asked softly, "Madame won't hand over all the family resources, right?" ”
Liu Menghan glanced at Aunt Jiang and said, "I just look so stupid?" - Of course not. That's just 30% of my industry. When it comes to catching big fish, of course, you have to show some sincerity. ”
Aunt Jiang stopped talking.
Not long after Pei Shufen left the Zhao family, the first assistant Zhao Zhiqing went down to the court and returned home.
Hearing that Mrs. Su was sick, Zhao Zhiqing didn't even have time to change out of his court clothes, so he hurried back to the inner courtyard to see Mrs. Su.
Pei Shulan was serving by Mrs. Su's bedside, but when she saw that the master was back, she hurriedly saluted and went back to her yard.
When Pei Shulan left, Mrs. Su got up from the bed, threw aside the handkerchief on her head, threw herself into Zhao Zhiqing's arms and cried: "Master, it's all my fault, it's all the master's ······."
Zhao Zhiqing took pity on Mrs. Su very much, helped her sit on the edge of the bed, patted her on the back and said softly: "If you have something to say, why cry?" - Your man is the first assistant, how can there be anything in the world that your man can't do?! ”
Mrs. Su was amused and smiled, hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Zhao Zhiqing: "Master doesn't need to make me happy. I know that because of my business, I swept the master into the whirlpool of the immediate back, ......"
Zhao Zhiqing stretched out his hand to cover Mrs. Su's mouth, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to feel guilty, I am willing." - I hold my breath and do the first assistant, that is, I want to give you a decree. I promised you back then, and I finally did it. ”
Mrs. Su was inexplicably gratefully snuggled in Zhao Zhiqing's arms, and said: "I never thought that a person like me would have such a great blessing, not only with the best man in the world, but also as a lady in the main room, and have a fate." After a pause, he looked at the sandalwood fine-edged lattice window lattice on the south side of the inner room, and said with a smile: "If those sisters knew about it back then, they wouldn't be jealous of me." ”
Zhao Zhiqing smiled and reminded Mrs. Su: "There is no need to mention the things of the past. Sighing again, "I don't know how to leak the news, but I actually let Dingnanhou know." "Take both soft and hard, and threaten Zhao Zhiqing, so that he can only support the concubine of the Dingnan Hou Mansion to enter the palace as the queen.
Mrs. Su noticed that there was still a trace of unwillingness in Zhao Zhiqing's tone, and she was silent for a long time, and said, "It's just that Shu Lan is bitter." I'm afraid it's going to be sisters who turn against each other. ”
Zhao Zhiqing was stunned: "What does it have to do with Shulan?" His face became serious: "Could it be that the old fox in Pei Lixing also knows?" ”
Mrs. Su hurriedly shook her head and said, "No." Shu Lan's fourth sister, that is, Ning Yuanhou's house-filling lady, came to the mansion today and asked Shu Lan for help, hoping that we would give up our support for the Dingnan Hou Mansion. ”
Zhao Zhiqing said calmly: "I'm really full, what's the matter with her?" ”
Mrs. Su was a little embarrassed and said, "I really didn't know that Ning Yuanhou was this kind of person." They actually wanted to ......", and said Pei Shufen's intention.
When Zhao Zhiqing heard this, he was also greatly taken aback, stood up and walked around the house, looking very headache, and said, "Oh no, no." If the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion really degraded his wife to a concubine because of this, or divorced her because of this, I don't know if the old fox in Pei Lixing blames the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion more, or blames me more...... or is he very jealous of Pei Lixing.
Mrs. Su didn't understand the affairs of the court, listened to it for a long time, and said: "If the master finds it difficult to do, why don't we leave the capital early, won't we be offended?" Hinting at Zhao Zhiqing's advance. As long as Zhao Zhiqing is not the first assistant, the Dingnan Hou Mansion will not further difficult them.
Zhao Zhiqing smiled bitterly: "Do you think they will let me go so easily?" "Shoufu's support is the biggest bargaining chip for the Dingnan Hou Mansion. Whether to cook or not, it is no longer Zhao Zhiqing's own decision.
Mrs. Su sighed again and sat at the head of the bed without speaking.
Zhao Zhiqing was relieved to see that Mrs. Su was not really sick, and persuaded her: "Don't think about it anymore." The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and we will be fine. ”
Mrs. Su lowered her head, and after a long time, she said, "I only pity Shu Lan." Now sandwiched between my in-laws' family and my mother's family......"
Zhao Zhiqing was a little dissatisfied with Pei Shulan's actions, and said: "This matter is not authentic in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, what does it have to do with us?" - Mrs. Ning Yuanhou actually has the face to come to her sister to beg her. It's really nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. He also instructed Mrs. Su: "You can take out your mother-in-law's money, so that you can teach Shulan a lesson." I see, it was you who were so good to her that she dared to say anything. - I want to meddle in my business! ”
Mrs. Su hurriedly helped Pei Shulan speak: "Master, you can't say that. Shu Lan is a kind-hearted and honest child, and Mrs. Ning Yuanhou is her own sister, since she asked to come to the house, she helped to ask, and she also did her best to be a sister. - Does the lord want to see her married and ignore her mother's family, turn her face and don't recognize people? After a pause, she said, "She didn't talk to the master directly, but asked me first." I said no, and she didn't insist. How can this be called meddling in the master's affairs? Besides, she doesn't know anything about us, so how can she know······ Know ······" There were already tears in my eyes.
Zhao Zhiqing looked at Mrs. Su's appearance, and he also lost most of his anger, and hurriedly coaxed her: "I know that you are worried that Shu Lan will look down on you if she knows your previous identity." But you also said that Shulan is a kind-hearted and honest child, and he also knows the general situation. After marrying in for so many years, I haven't missed a trip. Even this time, it's understandable. I don't blame her, and don't blame yourself too much. ”
Mrs. Su burst into tears and laughed, and finally uncovered this layer without mentioning it.
In the Zhenguo Mansion, He Ningxin has also been busy entertaining several groups of guests in recent days, all of whom have come to express their support for Lan Zhaoyi, which is close to the Zhenguo Mansion.
He Ningxin was very angry. - Where is this set of almost? This is obviously to put the Zhenguo Mansion on the fire and roast it and set it up for the Zhenguo Mansion.
With these people as friends, who needs enemies?!
When Jian Feiyang came back in the evening, He Ningxin couldn't help but complain to him and asked him, "What kind of people have you made outside?" One by one, they are daydreaming. ”
Jian Feiyang raised her eyebrows and asked her, "What's wrong?" He Ningxin rarely complained in front of him.
He Ningxin frowned and said, "I don't know who wants to frame you, so I vigorously recommend Lan Zhaoyi as the successor." "She really doesn't want to get involved in the dispute in the harem of the court anymore. Back then, she tried her best to help the Marquis of Ningyuan plan for the Mansion, but it didn't end well. Now that I have come out and looked back at the previous events, I find that my thoughts and moods have slowly changed.
"The queen is gone, as long as the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion obediently maintains the status quo, it is certain that the eldest prince will be the crown prince. Now, no matter who succeeds him, he can't change the status of the eldest prince. He Ningxin muttered while helping Jian Feiyang widen his court clothes, and helped him get his regular clothes to change into.
Jian Feiyang pursed the corners of her mouth, sat on the couch opposite the bed, and said to He Ningxin: "Dongxing in the outer courtyard said that Zheng E sent a letter today, saying that her cousin Zheng Jiao had set off to return to her hometown. ”
He Ningxin was suffocated and asked him, "Why didn't Dongxing tell me?" ”
Jian Feiyang said with a smile: "Dongxing originally wanted to give you a return. But there were too many visitors today, and you were so busy, he pressed it down. I was going to wait for you to talk about it later, but it happened that I came back first, and he told me. ”
He Ningxin had never taken Zheng Jiao to heart, and now when she heard that she was gone, she only nodded and said, "As long as you don't get involved with that Liu family, you can still be saved." ”
Fufeng outside brought two cups of tea, walked in with a few plates of small snacks, and smiled at He Ningxin and Jian Feiyang: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs., this is a small snack made in the small kitchen just now."
He Ningxin also sat on the couch, sat across a small square table from Jian Feiyang, and asked him, "Are you going out on an errand again?" ”
Jian Feiyang touched his chin and said, "You can see this?" ”
He Ningxin smiled, took a small snack and ate it, took another sip of tea, and then sighed: "Leading the troops to fight is where you can come in, and now you are ······ like a secret guard." The tone is already a little complaining that Emperor Hongxuan is overkill.
Jian Feiyang listened to He Ningxin's words, as comfortable as eating ice cubes on dog days, and said with a smile: "Whether you lead troops to fight or be a secret guard, you man can afford to take it and put it down." ”
He Ningxin took a sip of him, told him to be careful and pay attention to safety when he went out, and asked him how long he was going out?
Jian Feiyang shook his head and said, "It's still undecided." Luo Kaichao sent two letters from his side, saying that Xie Yun was very cunning, and he was still ambiguous, and it would take some time to win his trust. ”
He Ningxin stopped asking him, and instead talked about going into the palace to see Lan Zhaoyi, and told her not to be soft-eared, listen to other people's pouts, and fight for those things that shouldn't be fought for her.
