Chapter 413: There is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back

The Duke of Yanguo didn't get the post of the Qibao Banquet either, not because of anything else, but because there were no ladies of the right age in the Mansion of Yanguo, only a few Lang Jun, and the Duchess of Yanguo breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise her heart again.

Although you don't have to enter the palace, you don't have to face the queen of heaven for a while, and you don't have to worry about being disposed of by the queen of heaven for the time being, but it is not a way after all, since the queen of heaven has already known about the affairs of the Yanguo Mansion, and let the lord of Lingling County break them, I am afraid that they are no longer going to tolerate it, if they don't come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible, they are afraid that they will be sent down after the first month.

It's just that the lord of Lingling County has not come out again after entering the palace, and now I heard that she is taking care of the Seven Treasures Banquet again, I am afraid that all the big and small things in the palace have already passed through her hands, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for her to have a chance to leave the palace.

The Duchess of Yanguo has been worried for the past few days, and the corners of her mouth are foaming when she is so anxious, but there is still no way, she can only hand over the post to the county lord's mansion every day, hoping that Gu Mingzhu will get the news for her sincerity, and she will be able to go out of the palace to see her and show a clear way to the Yanguo Mansion.

The maidservant took the dowry list sent to the general's mansion, and according to her instructions, she exchanged the three hundred gold for silk brocade, which looked more decent and bright, and arranged the forty-eight dowry more compactly, and sent it to her.

She took it, flipped through it uneasily, and sighed heavily: "Add another two hundred gold, make those three animals and four fruits and sticker boxes more decent, don't let the Gu family find fault." ”

The maidservant was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe her ears, Madame didn't hate the Gu family the most, and she was even more disgusted with the Gu Siniang who was going to marry into the door, and said that she had wronged Liulang, and she was not allowed to mention her on weekdays, so why did she want to add a dowry today?

She quietly looked up at the Duchess of Yanguo, but she clearly saw that the lady's face was full of anger and unwillingness, and she was not half happy, and she felt even more strange, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she should go down with the list.

Duchess Yan Guo was really angry and anxious, thinking about the grievances of these days, she didn't know where to sprinkle her anger.

When she was angry in the room, the little maid came to report: "Mrs. Guo San sent a post, please ask Mrs. Guo to come over to the house." ”

The Guo family of Taishifu! Duchess Yanguo's face tightened, and her heart was even more churning, she sent a post this time, and she wanted to talk about that incident.

She was originally sad, and she really didn't want to go over, but she knew that the Taishi Mansion was powerful, so she couldn't help but pack up and change her clothes, and hurriedly took the maid to the Taishi Mansion.

"Duchess Yan Guo is fine."

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Guo San greeted her with a kind face, smiled and politely invited her to sit in the small flower hall, and personally served tea with her, her round face was full of kindness.

Duchess Yan Guo didn't dare to slack off at all, returned the salute with her, got up again to thank her, and took the tea soup, and then sat down uneasily.

She knows that the strongest person in this Taishi's Mansion is the second lady Guo, but now because of the affairs of her children, she has not survived, and I heard that she is too sick to do it, but if it is the most powerful person in front of her, the amiable third lady in front of her, otherwise Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo will not cross the eldest and second lang, and leave the important matter to the third lady and the third lady to take care of.

Sure enough, the third lady waited for the Duchess of Yanguo to touch the tea pot, and then put it down and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to invite Mrs. to come over to sit a few days ago, and we are the closest on weekdays, and Mrs. also takes care of me like an eldest sister, I am really grateful." ”

"It's just that I heard that Mrs. has been busy going to the Hussar General's Mansion to arrange the marriage of Liulangjun these days, so I can't bother, but yesterday I heard that the ships in Luoyang Port have been suspended, and even the ships carrying goods in the port have stopped, and they will not let the goods be unloaded, which scared me, but I am afraid that something big has happened, so I specially invited Mrs. over, just to inquire what is going on."

She looked worried, and looked at the Duchess of Yanguo with a pair of eyes: "Even the Taishi has heard about it, and asked San Lang with the words, asking us to inquire about what happened." ”

Duchess Yan Guo secretly complained in her heart, since Gu Mingzhu made it clear to her at the Gu family that day, Yan Guogong and she were almost frightened, and immediately asked people to bring news to all the boats, so that they all stopped, especially the ships dragging private goods must not be allowed to unload their goods at the port, lest they be found by those who were sent to stare at them again, at least they had to find a way to pass the fatal pass in front of them before making plans.

Luoyang is the closest to Chang'an, so it naturally stopped first.

But even if they were willing to stop, those cargo owners refused to stop, especially the Guo family, who got the news so quickly and asked her face.

It's just that she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Guo San what Gu Mingzhu said, because their ship line not only helped the Guo family transport smuggled goods, but also several, all of which were shady transactions.

She forced a smile and said to Mrs. Guo San: "It's not that something happened, it's just that the wind is tight these days, and I heard that there are people from the Boat Department at several docks who are secretly investigating the ships everywhere, and we have also suspended the unloading and transportation for the sake of safety." ”

"After a while, after a while, the limelight has passed, and naturally it will be done as it is."

Duchess Yan Guo was weak and short of breath, and the smile on her face was very reluctant when she spoke.

Mrs. Guo San looked at her carefully a few times, and then said with a smile: "Madame said so, I am relieved, in fact, there is no need to worry too much, the Zhou Ji Department is not disobedient, if the house really encounters something difficult, just make someone say a word, we have to ask the master to help take care of one or two, after all, it is our own business, it is difficult to look at Mrs. in a hurry." ”

She said in a low voice: "Madame also knows that those are important things, and now this situation cannot be delayed at all, it is better to step up, otherwise it will be delayed, I am afraid that it will delay the big event." ”

Duchess Yan Guo had a hard time, so she could only whisper: "I know, please let the house relax." ”

Mrs. Guo San smiled and said a few words of gossip, and then served tea: "Then I won't leave Mrs. to sit more, I will enter the palace tomorrow to go to the Qibao Banquet, and I will invite Mrs. to come to the house for a small gathering another day." ”

The Duchess of Yanguo went out of the Taishi Mansion, and the stuffiness in her heart could not be eliminated for a long time, and now the Yanguo Mansion has become a difficult trend to ride a tiger, with Gu Mingzhu blocking in front and the aggressiveness of the Taishi Mansion in the back, they have become rats in the bellows, there is no way out at both ends, but no one can afford to offend, I really don't know what to do.
