Qiu Jinglan is gone, no matter how worried and angry Qiu Jinglan is, she is helpless to be hidden for so many days.

So after entering the house, he complained a few words to Jiang Yashuang, and he could only forget it, but he was very worried about Ruan Ciyi's exit from the cabinet: "As soon as my brother leaves like this, now the eldest cousin of the Ruan family is alone, can't she go in and out by herself, right?" I wanted to stay for a few days. ”

Jiang Yashuang didn't approve, he had noticed that since the dispute over the pill, although Old Madam Tao and Empress Jiang had the same attitude towards him, they were a little dissatisfied with Qiu Yulan. Now that Qin Guogong has promised Qiu Jinglan that he will send his daughter-in-law to help before Ruan Ciyi leaves the pavilion, Qiu Yulan will also go to Ruan's house to live, which will definitely make Old Madam Tao unhappy - at this time, how many people will like daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to live outside without home all day long?

And this will also offend the Heshi - doesn't this make it clear that she is not worried about her affairs?

However, he knew that after saying this directly, it would make Qiu Yulan have a gap between Mrs. Tao and the He family, and after thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "It's not appropriate for you to operate in the past, after all, your surname is Qiu and not your surname Ruan, you can usually not treat yourself as an outsider in the Ruan family, and on such a major event as marriage, it is really a bit unreasonable for you to show up and preside." This may not necessarily give Sister Ruan a long face, but it is easy to provoke discussion. ”

Strictly speaking, Qiu Yulan's age is enough to be Ruan Ciyi's daughter, and she is already married, so she went to Ruan's house to plan Ruan Ciyi's exit from the cabinet - it's really a bit funny.

Qiu Yulan frowned and said, "Why don't I know what you're talking about?" But how can it be more busy than the eldest cousin himself, right? ”

"You underestimate your brother too much!" Jiang Yashuang said, "Do you think that although my brother left in a hurry this time, will he not arrange the lifelong event of Big Sister Ruan?" The makeup and the like are all prepared when the elder brother is there, and the other things that are not fully prepared are also listed, as long as the third aunt takes someone over to walk around the day-otherwise the third aunt will not go over often? This errand was told by my grandfather! ”

Also, what Qin Guogong personally ordered, who would dare to slack off in this Jiang family except for Jiang Yadan?

Qiu Yulan reluctantly put her mind at ease - after two or three days, she sent Su He to deliver seasonal fruits to Ruan Ciyi, and got another news: "Mrs. Feng personally brought someone to Ruan's house to live and help take care of Miss Biao's affairs out of the cabinet!" ”

"Is it the eldest cousin with the same surname Fang Yiren, when Mrs. Sun invited her to Ruan's house to witness, she hugged her eldest cousin and cried?" Qiu Yulan asked hurriedly.

"Exactly!" Su He nodded, "It's about talking about Mrs. Lady's handkerchief before her death, and when it comes to talking about it, the eldest cousin is serious and wants to call Aunt Feng." ”

This Mrs. Feng is the same age as Ruan Ciyi's mother, Mrs. Tan, and she has already hugged her grandson, and there is no longer the elders to control her, and the housework is handed over to her daughter-in-law, who is idle and free. With her in charge, Qiu Yulan was completely relieved.

A few days after Mrs. Feng arrived at Ruan's mansion, it was the wedding of King Zhou - because King Zhou was the candidate for the prince of the Queen Mother's party, this wedding was very grand, and the dowry of Princess Gu Jingnan of Shou'an was even more amazing, according to the speculation of good deeds, I am afraid that there will be no two million taels, anyway, it is definitely higher than more than 1.5 million taels when Princess Jiang Qiyun of Qi came out of the cabinet.

Don't look at these two as many as Qiu Yulan, but Qiu Yulan is a special situation - the dowry of the two generations of hereditary princesses is all owned by her, and she has received both the dowry of the county lord and the subsidy of her brother Qiu Jinglan, who feels guilty about her, so that she can get a small three million taels.

And Gu Qianna and Jiang Qiyun don't have the treatment of their grandmother and mother-in-law dowry, only giving them one dowry, just the dowry given by their mother's family makes people look up to them.

However, no matter how grand the wedding is, no matter how rich the dowry is, with Tang Xinqiong, the side concubine of King Zhou who passed through the door first, and King Zhou are very affectionate, so that King Zhou is not very interested in the wedding.

King Zhou was followed by King Lu, but Tao Yibin's makeup was not as rich as Gu Graceful. After all, it has been decades since Tao Yinsong died, and the Tao family has had several losers one after another, and the family background is no longer what it used to be.

Her dowry is estimated to be about 500,000 taels of silver - according to Ling Zui's estimate, this is still the money that Mrs. Tao and even Queen Jiang sent in private: "The lion cat fever that was fashionable in the past two years, do you still remember Sister Qiu?" That is the Tao family to Mrs. Tao to cry and complain that the money is tight, Mrs. Tao asked your fourteen sister-in-law to give an idea, your fourteen sister-in-law can refuse, to draw up a few inputs, the sale of lion cats is one of them, the reason why it is popular is also your fourteen sister-in-law to get it. So you say how can the Tao family come up with 500,000 taels of silver to marry their daughter? ”

Qiu Yulan thought this was very good: "If you can have a dowry of one million taels of silver, you can straighten your waist after passing through the door!" ”

She wishes that the next princess will marry as little as possible!

However, Duan Wenji's dowry just pressed Tao Yibin's head - an extra 50,000 taels, obviously deliberately slapped the Tao family in the face.

The wedding between King Lu and King Cai was obviously a grade worse than that of King Zhou, but it was according to the rules and was not harsh - because they had to give their princess face; And also not lifted – because they really aren't very important. All in all, it was held very plainly.

At this time, it was already the end of October, and everyone thought that the wedding of King Wei and others would be scheduled until the next year, but the wedding of King Wei was indeed scheduled for February next year, but Princess Changping was in an emergency situation at the beginning of November!

Qiu Jinzhu died in July, and the situation of the four months was green and still the lord, although it was said that all kinds of things in the middle had diluted the tragedy of the Xihe Palace, but as soon as this marriage came out, the red-faced Ningtai county lord was inevitably mentioned again, and Princess Changping was naturally very gloomy.

But the people don't know, but the high-level people know it: "Sure enough, Shihan sent the six-hundred-mile expedited letter, not only for the sake of calculating Qiu Jinglan, but also for the sake of his son." ”

…… The West Frontier is fighting in the end!

Guo Shihan was anxious to let Guo Qingwu seize this opportunity to establish prestige, so he naturally wanted to urge Princess Changping to descend.

At present, there are many places where the Queen Mother needs to take advantage of the cold situation, and she can only grieve Princess Changping to get married hastily.

After the wedding, Guo Qingwu was awarded a military position and left Beijing in a hurry to return to Shazhou...... Because he couldn't find Qiu Jinglan for a long time, and guessed that he was calculating on the road, Princess Changping didn't accompany him, so as not to become a burden.

On the road, Qiu Jinglan can finally set off towards Shazhou - here the Jiang family sent a special person to assist, not to mention it, and to say that it is in the middle of the court.

The war in Western Xinjiang is not very fierce at present, and it can be said that Da Rui's safety is worry-free, so whether it is the Queen Mother Party or the Queen Party, they are relieved to devote ninety percent of their energy to intrigue.

Before November had passed, several officials on both sides had fallen from power, and the level of war design was getting higher and higher, and it soon burned to the important members of both sides—

At the last court meeting in November, the Jiang family took the lead in making trouble, and asked Duan Jin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, with Princess Cai's makeup: "The Er family has been farming for generations, and the land is only 1,000 acres at the time of Zun, why can you accompany Princess Cai with a dowry of 550,000 taels of silver in just a few decades?!" ”

Of course, Duan Jin would not admit that the 550,000 taels of silver he gave his niece was not in the right way: "King Cai's status is noble, and the niece of the minister is fortunate to climb high, and the Duan family is grateful for the grace of heaven, so they naturally do their best to prepare for the marriage of their niece...... The 550,000 taels of silver are all the savings since the minister's entry, plus the private loans, there is absolutely no penny! I also hope that the Queen Mother will be clear! ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Gu wanted to speak to him: "Princess Qi made up nearly two million taels when she came out of the pavilion, why didn't you say it?!" Could it be that Princess Cai is easy to bully?! ”

At this time, it reflects the value of Heshui Jin, and the queen party confidently said that the Jiang family can give Princess Qi a rich marriage, which is right, who is called Princess Qi's cousin-in-law, the head of the Jiang family over the years is famous for making money? I don't believe you can ask!

Not only can you inquire - this will and Shui Jin can already get up and move around, so when Jiang Tianqiao argued fiercely with others, he directly asked Chuan and Shui Jin to go to the palace to explain the Jiang family's property and absolute conscience!

The name of Heshui Jin, even the Empress Dowager Gu in the deep palace has heard of it, and knows that she is a master who is naturally good at playing abacus, and her ability to settle accounts is even ashamed of the old officials in the household department. Isn't it enough to lose face on Qiu Jinglan at the beginning!

So the Queen Mother decisively demanded: "Since Zhongshu Ling thinks that Duan Jin is suspicious, he might as well show proof that he is greedy. Proof of dereliction of duty. Otherwise, even if you are the vice minister of this dynasty and the governor of a province, it is also a big crime to wronged the important ministers of the court for no reason! ”

The queen's party came prepared this time, naturally there is evidence, and at the moment, a servant of the imperial history came out of the ranks, showing the booklet that had been written a long time ago, starting from the industry of Duan Jinzu's last three generations, and counting until the scenery when he married his niece not long ago, and finally came to the conclusion: "With the income of the Duan family over the years, as well as Duan Shilang's ice charcoal, under normal circumstances, I want to save enough 550,000 taels of silver...... It's impossible in this life! ”

The implication is, of course, that Duan Jin must be greedy. Dirty!

"What about those who borrow money for dowry?" Someone in the Queens party asked this deliberately.

"That's not possible." The waiter said sternly, "After the official calculates, Duan Shilang's net worth should only be tens of thousands of taels of silver, and what lender would be willing to borrow far more than all the borrower's belongings?" Aren't you afraid that you will not be able to repay what you borrow? ”

This also dares to call borrowing money, which is simply a good way to send money!

"That is to say, even if Duan Shilang borrowed this money, it is impossible to borrow this money under ordinary circumstances?" Jiang Tianqi sneered and looked at Duan Jin, "But I don't know where Duan Shilang borrowed it from?" Can you take the IOU and wait with me? ”

Duan Jin didn't expect this at all, where did the IOU come from?

But he reacted quickly: "Jiang Shilang wants to see it, as long as the two ladies agree, the minister will immediately send the little maid to fetch it!" ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Gu supported his opinion, although Empress Jiang was surprised that he had really prepared an IOU, but at this time, if he blocked it, he would be weak-hearted.

With the permission of these two, it didn't take long for the palace people to present the IOUs from the Duan family, and first sent Danqi to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Empress Jiang was furious after just one glance: "This IOU is clearly not your handwriting!" ”

Duan Jin's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Niangniang is angry, this IOU was not written by a minister!" ”

Before these words fell, everyone in the temple was stunned, didn't you write it? Are you entertaining the queen then!?
