Sun Qingyang looked down at the pair of heavy old pagoda red coral bracelets in his hands, although the red coral beads on the top are not big, they are round and full, the size is almost the same, and the carved Buddha head is very rare.
Du Ruomei smiled and leaned aside to look at it, "It seems that kindness is rewarded, the pair of Chuan rewarded by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is really beautiful, and with your hand, it becomes more and more that your wrist is round and jade, and it looks very good." โ
Sun Qingyang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull Du Ruo over, broke her fingers one by one, looked at the red gold bracelet she was holding in her hand, looked up and said with a smile: "What, are you afraid that I will rob you, and you are reluctant to wear it?" He put the red gold bracelet on Du Ruo's arm, "You wear this first, don't be reluctant, there will be good things in the future, you are older now, you should bring some jewelry that you can handle, so as not to be laughed at by people who don't know that your master is mean, and even your reward is greedy for ink." โ
Du Ruo smiled, "It's not like that, my master has good things to reward others, so he is willing to give us such good things?" The slave and maid have never seen such a heavy hand, this is gold, this has to be put on, and I am reluctant to take it off when I sleep. โ
Sun Qingyang smiled and shook his head, "You don't want to arrange my stuff yet, say, what do you like?" โ
Du Ruo rolled his eyes, "You gave Concubine Ning two hundred taels of silver today, so what should you reward me, a loyal servant who is dedicated to the Savior?" โ
Sun Qingyang took Du Ruo's hand and raised the red gold bracelet in her hand, "Your pair of gold bracelets are worth more than two hundred taels of silver." โ
"This is the reward of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, can it be the same as your reward?"
Sun Qingyang pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head, biting his lip, but he took off a gold collar around his neck and stuffed it into Du Ruo's hand, and said with a smile: "This can be matched with your handpiece." โ
Du Ruona dared to accept it, but when he saw that he couldn't refuse, he put it on the table, "The slave is joking, I don't really want your things, the concubine should accept it, this gold collar is something that the slave can bring." โ
"It's okay, this is not a thing for the Ouchi Emperor, there is no mark, you can take it and put some gold rings and gold steps, and you can bring it when you marry in the future."
Du Ruo was frightened when he heard this, "Your concubine, can you just give the slave and maid to someone, and another one, do you mean that you will save the dowry for the slave and maid in the future, and use this instead?" That's not going to work, you can't just use a collar to send a slave. โ
Sun Qingyang shook his head with a smile, "Look at your appearance as a fan of wealth, when you get married, I will prepare an eighteen dowry for you, how can I stop such a collar." Haven't you been short of money lately, so you took this circle away, and took the 1,000 taels of silver tickets together. That handpiece is rewarded by the concubine, but you can't deserve it, it's something on the surface, so you can wear it. โ
Du Ruo's eyes were red, "How does the concubine know that the slave is waiting for money?" โ
Sun Qingyang's face was pale, and he looked at Du Ruo with a straight face: "Fuzhi told me, you asked her to borrow the silver from the month, as far as your monthly bill can be worth anything, you even have to ask her to borrow it, not to the point that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and you won't open that mouth with her, but I don't understand, you are willing to talk to Fuzhi, why don't you tell me?" โ
"Fuzhiโ" Du Ruo stomped his foot, "I shouldn't have trusted her to keep it a secret." โ
"This kind of thing shouldn't be kept secret, Du Ruo, you are also cautious on weekdays, have you ever thought that you would do such a thing, in case others find out, wouldn't there be an opportunity to take advantage of it, that is, you will not be bribed by them with money, how can you guarantee that they don't have to do anything with this matter?"
Du Ruo felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, "Noble concubine, it's really a slave to think simply. โ
"Then you can tell me now, why are you in such a hurry to scrape together money?"
Du Ruo wiped the tears on his face, "It's not me, it's the slave's younger brother." He won't tell you, and if you know, Madame will know. โ
"Du Ziheng, what does he want money for? You have to carry your mother on your back, and you can tell me about it. Sun Qingyang felt even more strange when he heard that Du Ziheng, who was born in the same year, month and day as himself, needed money. Because of the common hardships, her family and Du Ruo's family are called master servants, they are really relatives, and their mother Dong has long been relieved of Du Ziheng's slavery, he loves to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, his mother is not good at coming forward, and his father also pointed him out from time to time.
Du Ruo pounced on his knees on the ground, "Your concubine, the slave doesn't know what my brother wants money for, he asked me to try to make up a thousand taels of silver, saying that it was for life-saving, and I didn't let me tell the lord and madam, and I also told you that I couldn't let you know." โ
Sun Qingyang's eyes stared at Du Ruo, "Don't dare to lie about this, I'm afraid that your brother has fallen into someone's trap, and that person is staring at you." Otherwise, it would have been such a coincidence, he would have used the money not to go to my mother, and he would not have told me, but only stared at you. You have to try to see him that day, ask him clearly, and don't be wrongly planted in it. โ
Du Ruo raised his head and looked into her eyes, "You have told me the stakes, the slave and maid dare to lie, it is really that the younger brother came in from outside the second door that day, and met in a hurry, he said let me make up a thousand taels of silver to save my life, I can't mention it to anyone, and I really didn't say anything else, the slave and maid asked him at the time, and he said that when it is convenient in the future, he will naturally let the slave and maid know." โ
Sun Qingyang helped Du Ruo up, "I was still young at that time, and the prince of Han said that someone said that I had a childhood sweetheart, who was engaged since I was a child, I want to come and go, and your brother and I grew up together, at this time, your brother is out of this situation again, but I am afraid that someone is pointing at me again." Don't be careless, if there is anything in the future, you don't dare to hide it from me, one person is short, two people are long, no matter what tricks there are, as long as we have precautions in advance, we can't let those individuals get their wishes. โ
Du Ruo was ashamed and ashamed, "The slave maid was afraid of causing trouble for you, but she didn't want to have so many ways, but fortunately, the noble concubine turned her mind and thought of this at once, otherwise, if something really happened, the slave and the younger brother would not be enough to compensate for how many times they died." โ
"Where is it so serious, as long as something happens to our family, even if there is really a villain who wants to make some tricks, he will definitely not be allowed to succeed. Du Ziheng asked you for this silver, but when did you make an appointment to get it? You managed to get me to meet him and ask him about it. โ
Du Ruo was shocked, "Your concubine, I must ask him to understand clearly, do you dare to meet him, if it is really like what you said, someone is doing tricks in the back, and when you see him, you will be detained for the reputation of a private meeting with a foreign man, wouldn't it be bad for your innocence!" โ
Sun Qingyang smiled and said, "Since I know that this may be a set, how can I get into it, you just need to do this..... Can. โ
Du Ruo looked at Sun Qingyang with admiration, "Your concubine, you are really a female Zhuge in the middle, this method is very wonderful, maybe you can also fish out the person who killed my brother behind the scenes, I made an appointment with him to meet on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, that is, three days later." โ
Sun Qingyang smiled and pointed to the gold collar and silver ticket on the table, "Then you don't hurry up and put it away." โ
"Hey." Du Ruo took the thing in his arms and tiptoed away.
When she met the maid outside, she deliberately pretended to be panicked, and even Fuzhi felt strange when she saw it, "Why does this Sister Du Ruo seem to be a thief." โ
These words were naturally listened to by those who had a heart.

Everyone said that the crown princess hated Mi Ziyan the most was Mi Ziyan, who almost took the position of her eldest grandson, and the most jealous was Guo Liangdi, who was the most favored in recent years and gave birth to three county kings in a row.
Only Mama Shan knows that the crown princess's least favorite thing is actually Qi Chengzheng, who gave birth to the five county lords. Qi Chengzheng, like Mama Su, was originally the princess's dowry maid, but without the permission of the princess, while she was pregnant with Zhu Zhanji, she climbed into the prince's bed, and became one of the prince's many concubines.
Qi Chengzheng also knew that he had committed the taboo of the crown princess, so he was like an invisible person on weekdays, and he didn't show up on any occasion when he didn't have to appear, and only stayed in the house to do needlework.
Just because the crown princess really doesn't like her, although she gave birth to the fifth county lord, her position still hasn't been promoted, unlike Zhao Chengzheng, who gave birth to the second county lord, who has already become a good yuan.
The same maid who is a bed warmer is born, and the treatment of the two people is different, everyone thinks that Qi Chengzheng should have hatred in her heart, but she has performed so well, for so many years, it seems that she knows that she is sorry for the housemother, as long as it is the occasion when the princess appears, even if she is pregnant with the lord of the five counties and has a big belly, she still waits respectfully, and she is more attentive than the maids in front of the princess.
At this time, Qi Chengzheng, who had never taken the initiative to show up, came to Zhaoyang Hall without being invited.
Qi Chengzheng is as pure as ever, even with few jewelry on his head, only a small face with melon seeds is still beautiful and lovely, as thin as a girl's waist and weak willow support.
No wonder she was able to become a concubine from a maid who climbed the bed before she was pregnant, and even if the prince favored Guo Liangyuan so much, she would always rest in her courtyard one or two days a month.
Qi Chengzheng did not enter the house, stopped when he walked to the front hall, and did not just give a blessing like other concubines, but knelt under the porch to kowtow to the princess according to the rules of the slaves and maids. Behind her, there was also a nurse holding the five county lords, and they also knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye.
The crown princess was a faceless person, and when she saw that Qi Chengzheng couldn't pretend to have a good face, she immediately sank her face and shouted: "It's not that the fifth county lord is sick, why are you bringing her here now?" In such a cold weather, don't freeze her, don't take the five county lords back soon! โ
Qi Chengzheng never looked up, and after listening to the words of the crown princess, he said cautiously: "The concubine heard that the prince was back, so she brought the five county lords to greet the prince and the princess. The concubine knew that her status was low, so she didn't enter the house, and only kowtowed to the two highnesses outside and left. It's just that these five county lords are serious masters, and they also ask Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to allow her to enter the hall to kowtow to the prince for the sake of her who has not seen the prince for a long time, and do her filial piety. โ
