Chapter 50: The Unknown Inheritance
People feel shallow when they get old, and Mrs. Tao is no different.
Genius polished, she woke up as usual, and after freshening up, her henchman Hu Shi came in, asked the maids to withdraw, and whispered what happened last night - although Jiang Yadan thought that the guards did not dare not listen to his gag order, but the courtyard where the old lady lived was deceived by a grandchild who was not close, which was too ridiculous.
"Does anyone else know about this?" After hearing this, Old Madam Tao frowned and asked.
Hu Shi whispered: "The eighth prince gave a ban order, and the nineteenth prince found a reason to be injured in practice...... No one knew about it at the time. β
"Then don't spread the word, the right to say that this has not happened." Old Madam Tao said immediately.
Seeing that Hu Shi wanted to speak and stopped, the old lady sighed, "What? Can't do it? β
"Nope." Hu Shi hurriedly said, "You said that it didn't happen, how can it be passed on again?" She hesitated for a moment before she said, "I just think the county lord next door ...... It's too unreserved! β
Old Madam Tao said casually: "Do you care if she is reserved or not?" Nineteen likes it anyway, doesn't it? β
As soon as the Hu family heard this, he knew that the old lady still took a fancy to Qiu Yulan's identity as the county lord and that there was no power behind her, and that it would not threaten Xiao Tao's status in the fourth room of the Jiang family after passing the door, although she felt that with Jiang Yashuang's identity, it was really aggrieved to marry such a shameless person, but she didn't dare to object, she only smiled and said: "It's also the good fate of this Ningyi county lord, catch up with the old lady's tolerance." Changed to ordinary people......"
"It's her ability to hook Nineteen." Old Madam Tao sneered, "Don't think I'm all for that kid!" Believe it or not, now go and tell Nineteen to let him marry someone else, and he still refuses! Anyway, if she is not reserved, she is also to Nineteen, and she is not having an affair with anyone else, Nineteen herself doesn't care, why do you care so much? β
Hu Shi said embarrassedly: "That's not what the old slave meant...... she thought to herself, that Ningyi County Lord was only thirteen years old, and he was not born in the hook bar, what ability could he have to seduce people? It's nothing more than good looks - I feel that Jiang Yashuang is young and ignorant, and I don't know how to marry a wife and morality, and suddenly I think of Xiao Tao, who is recognized as virtuous, and I sighed in my heart, "That's it, think about the nineteenth prince is actually the same as the eighth prince, the character of the person they like may not be good, but the appearance must be beautiful." β
In this way, he didn't have the intention of holding grievances for Jiang Yashuang, and after calming down, he asked, "Then the nineteenth prince will send someone over to tell you?" β
"I will believe what he says, and if you doubt it, you write it down and tell me, and I will round it for him." Old Madam Tao said lightly, "Also, tell yesterday's guards to be careful, and don't spread the word to the old mansion, if Chaohai knows, don't blame me for being ruthless!" β
Hu's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said respectfully: "Yes! β
An hour later, everyone in the other courtyard knew that Jiang Yashuang had practiced martial arts, resulting in bedriddenness.
The Jiang family started from military exploits, and their children were required to practice literature and martial arts. Everyone is used to the occasional small injury, and Jiang Yashuang's maid said it lightly, not like a serious one - so everyone didn't take it seriously, and sent someone over to take a look and send something to it.
Sister-in-law Xiao Tao and sister Jiang Qizheng ran away in person, but it was "unfortunate" in the past, Jiang Yashuang happened to fall asleep after drinking the medicine, and the two sisters-in-law asked the maid and learned that there was indeed no big problem, so they went back with confidence.
When they returned to Mrs. Tao, they happened to hear Jiang Qisheng saying, "Isn't Nineteen Mo lazy recently?" How can you practice a few times in your own yard and get out of breath? β
Xiao Tao and Jiang Qizheng were so angry that they were about to lift the curtain and go in to reason with her, but they didn't want to listen to Mrs. Tao's lukewarm words: "Are you embarrassed to say?!" If it weren't for the fact that you were talking to yourself and trying to give him a match, the whole house would have known that he had taken a fancy to the little county lord next door, but he had been kept in the dark - can you be happy when you hear the news at first glance? β
Listening to the meaning of this, Jiang Yashuang practiced martial arts this time because he knew what his sister-in-law and sisters were doing without him?
Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law outside looked at each other awkwardly, and they didn't dare to go in for a while.
Jiang Qisheng felt very aggrieved: "I didn't do those things - it's mainly the eighteenth sister, I just followed the two fun!" In fact, let me say that the county lord of Ningyi is not worthy of the nineteenth brother at all! β
"Is this what you can say?" Mrs. Tao didn't know if she was in a bad mood today, and she was particularly unkind to Jiang Qisheng, "It's just that your parents haven't pointed fingers at Nineteen's marriage, what do you care?" Where did Mr. Shao learn all the rules he taught you before? I don't think you want to be in front of me anymore, you have a headache when you see it! Go back and copy the "Female Rule" ten times! Think more about what Mr. taught you, don't spoil the identity of a good daughter! β
Jiang Qisheng was scolded so bloody, and said angrily: "Grandmother doesn't like me in front of me, I just don't come, as for saying this, do you want to talk about me!" β
"You're used to talking back, aren't you? I can't tell you? Old Madam Tao's voice gradually rose, and her tone was also angry, "In that case, then you don't want to be here with me, go back to the ancestral house as soon as possible and find your mother!" Don't come to me to be wronged! β
"Let's come back later." Xiao Tao tugged at Jiang Qizheng's sleeve and whispered, "Carefully the seventeenth sister came out to meet her, thinking that we deliberately listened to her being scolded here!" β
When they arrived at the secluded place, the two of them became worried: "Nineteen actually knows that we are hiding from him to find out about the county lord of Ningyi?" What should I do now? β
"Why don't you start with the Lord of Ningyi?" The sister-in-law believed Mrs. Tao's words as true, and when Jiang Yashuang was now angry with this matter, she was naturally weak and guilty, for fear that Jiang Yashuang would come to the door to settle the account after she got better-After being entangled for a long time, Xiao Tao proposed, "Nineteen likes her, if she doesn't care, say a few words for us, and think that Nineteen will always see her face." β
Jiang Qizheng was embarrassed: "But last time I didn't know that Mrs. Gu deliberately cheated her, and she was very cold to her when she left." She seemed to notice it, too, but she didn't pay much attention to me. Now go to the door again, how to open this mouth? β
"Has Shui Jin been busy lately?" Xiao Tao simply hadn't seen Qiu Yulan, and after biting his lip, he hit the idea on Heshuijin's head.
He Shui Jin has naturally been very busy lately - the Ding family and the Yang family have been pinched to the point of life and death, and there have been several fights between the children and subordinates - with the families of these two families, the conflict has reached this point, and it is still in the capital, and it is impossible not to listen to the heavens.
Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang both summoned people to inquire about the specific process - Empress Jiang asked every time she was about He Shuijin, who knew everything about the government and the opposition, so she couldn't pay attention to other places at all recently.
In this case, Jiang Qizheng had no choice but to come to the door in person - she was afraid that her younger brother would really turn his face against her, but Qiu Mengmin and his wife didn't know the twists and turns inside, so Princess Chunfu not only sent her brother to ask for two dowries for Qiu Lulan, but even came to the door to put pressure on her!
ββ¦β¦ Lord, what should I do now? Princess Yang asked listlessly, "When the two of the Jiang family came together, they said that they would give us three days of light, and the day before, the little beast of the Ruan family also said that they would bring the Fang family to the door in three days - this is tomorrow!" β
Qiu Mengmin was silent for a long time before he said, "What if you don't take it out?" β
"To her?!" Princess Yang's eyes widened in surprise, "That list...... If you include the income of the shop grange over the years, it is a million taels! Now in this million taels of industry, there are less than 100,000 taels that can be found! This...... Are we all posting it?! Don't forget Ruan's share, she sold some of it herself! Do you even have to make up for hers?! β
"If you don't post it, you'll have to poke things out over there!" Qiu Mengmin's muscles twitched, and he said expressionlessly, "Ruan's share shouldn't be all posted by us, but have you thought about it?" How much of the concubine's share is left now? Can we afford to embezzle my mother's dowry?! β
Princess Yang said: "Let's just say that the Ruan family sells it!" Anyway, when she was alive, wasn't the dowry of the concubine kept by her?! β
"Are you stupid!" Qiu Mengmin said angrily, "Without Princess Ruan's private seal or handwritten notes to confirm, do you think you can rely on her if she dies?!" Moreover, the Ruan family sold his dowry to help the general's mansion, do you think Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yulan will not know?! But do you think Ruan Qingyan can mention this when he came over that day? No! Do you know what that means? That means that's their condition! β
He gasped a few times before he said with a little trembling, "Since the Ruan family and the Lian family both keep the dowry list of the year, even if our Xihe Palace's house is raided, it should be given to Qiu Yulan after all, she is indispensable - and the Ruan and Lian families sent two juniors to come forward, obviously not wanting to make trouble!" Do you think they're going to think about us for nothing?! They just want to put the account of what the Ruan family sold in the first place on our heads! β
"In short, you can't be reasonable and honest, and you can't fight for power and power to fight for the Jiang family." Qiu Mengmin laughed miserably, "It's the Queen Mother, and now she is also entangled in Ding Yang's affairs, how can you have the kung fu to manage our palace with no real power?!" Taking this knife is also a big injury to the vitality of the industry, and it is really a trouble, and our title is ......."
Princess Yang stayed for a long time before muttering, "But our family's property is only less than three million...... All at once to the little. There are millions of people, and what are the two serious heirs of Hongzhi and Yinzhi in the future? ! β
Qiu Mengmin rubbed his eyebrows: "Burn down a few warehouses tonight!" β
Princess Yang was stunned.
"The things of the concubine are all deducted, and the price is about the same according to the dowry list." Qiu Mengmin's voice was low, "I heard my mother say before her death that the Xihe Royal Mansion should not only have this property nowβit is likely that it was hidden by the concubine back then!" It's just that for so many years, I have never found ...... thought that Qiu Yulan was the last bit of blood and blood of the concubine, and the concubine would tell Ruan, but Ruan didn't admit it until he died...... I don't know if Qiu Yulan suddenly invited these many people to ask for things for her this time, whether it has something to do with the missing industry! β
Princess Yang's eyes lit up: "How much is the concubine hiding?" β
"Mother said that today's Xihe Mansion is just leftovers compared to my father's." Qiu Mengmin frowned and said, "Anyway, Qiu Yulan always has to be full of filial piety in the mansion before she can go out-keep an eye on her in the past two years!" If the properties hidden by the concubine really fall into her hands, she is not afraid that she will not be able to find out the clues! Of course, the dowry of the concubine and the Ruan family belongs to her, but the property of the Xihe Royal Mansion has nothing to do with her! β
Hearing these words, Princess Yang's heart was hot: "Then why don't you give her the concubine's things, let's keep an eye on it secretly, and wait for her to take the property before starting?" If she doesn't give it to her, what if she can't get the property? β
Qiu Mengmin sneered: "Stupid! Have you forgotten that the Jiang family worked so hard to show her this time? Princess Chunfu has only known her for a few days? As for maintaining her like this? I think eight times out of ten. Nine is that she promised to share the profit with Princess Chunfu - if the property hidden by the concubine really needs her relics or the things in the dowry to get it, with the intervention of the Jiang family, can it be left to our family? How can you do it without leaving a hand! β
