The next day, after the news came out that Princess Yang ordered Kang Lizhang not to be discharged from the hospital, Chunran and others were a little worried: "Could it be that Princess Yang found out that we were ...... with Miss Biao?"

"What are you afraid of! She just knows that I have collected Kang Lizhang to do things, what can she do with me? Qiu Yulan disagreed, "What's more, Kang Lizhang is not so easy to ground, you just wait and see!" ”

If Kang Lizhang has already had a showdown with Qiu Mengmin, then Qiu Mengmin will definitely support her; If not, then she can't accept the punishment of grounding - with this cousin Kang's city mansion, the cauldron is broken, and Princess Yang, who is now "sick", may not be able to leak a drop of water.

Sure enough, before noon, Su Heda heard the news and came in and said: "Mrs. Gu has made a fuss, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law can't hold it, so they go straight to the prince's bedroom to ask the prince to call the shots...... Princess Yang was scolded by the prince! ”

"This is natural, after all, it has only been a few days since Lu died?" Qiu Yulan pursed the corners of his lips, "If he doesn't help Aunt Kang at this time, how can he prove his feelings for his biological mother?" ”

Su He smiled and said, "It is said that Mrs. Gu still wants to come over and make trouble with the county lord!" Miss Cousin arrived, knelt in front of her, hugged her legs and pulled her skirt, and begged her to go back with all her might—Mrs. Cousin also said that Miss Cousin protects you! It's really funny, this is all over the house, who doesn't know that Miss Cousin is afraid that Mrs. Gu will suffer? ”

"Did you know that Aunt Kang was stupid?" Qiu Yulan smiled and nodded her forehead, "By the way, Princess Yang was scolded, what do you say now?" ”

Su He said: "What else can I say? When the maid came back, she saw someone going out of the house, and said that the princess was unhappy and wanted to ask for a doctor......"

"Huh?" Qiu Yulan thought for a while and said to her, "You go find Kang Lizhang tonight and bring her a few words." ”

Su He asked curiously, "What words?" ”

"Princess Yang is not happy, eight times out of ten. Nine will be a long-term illness - Miss Liding is going to be filial piety and ready to pass the door in May, right? If Princess Yang can't get up by then, how thoughtful can Qiu Hongzhi's wedding be? With the appearance of his dead reading all day long, can he handle his marriage well? The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Let her remind Qiu Hongzhi to hurry up and find a way!" Don't let Princess Yang lose face in front of the Yue family, the Ding family is unhappy, and he doesn't care about his daughter and son-in-law, what will he fight with Princess Yang in the future? ”

Chun Ran said with a smile: "Unless the real six relatives are not supported, how can there be a lifelong event that can be handled by yourself from beginning to end?" If Princess Yang is really sick enough that the eldest prince can't take care of things when he gets married, the eldest son's marriage will be troublesome. ”

"The maid thinks I'm afraid it's not just trouble." Xia Ran thought for a while and said, "The eldest prince is the eldest son, and his marriage is too ugly. As a prince, it's impossible to handle it for him back and forth, right? So it must be waiting for Princess Yang to get better. In this case, Princess Yang is not in good health, so Miss Ding may not be able to pass through the door? ”

"Miss Ding is almost twenty years old, how can the Ding family have no opinion if it is delayed any longer?"

Qiu Yulan lazily told Su He, "This reminder is not given in vain, let Kang Lizhang tell Qiu Hongzhi, and let him quickly get 10,000 taels of silver tickets in private - this reminder is 1,000 taels, and the 6,000 taels that he explained to him when he swept the tomb, he has never taken it, and now he has to give me 9,000." Of course, he can continue not to give, or push what the princess refuses to do, and the prince refuses. Anyway, before sunset tomorrow, I won't see 10,000 taels of silver tickets, so I will stand on Princess Yang's side in the matter of Miss Ding's passing through the door...... Whether to pay this protection fee or not, let him use his brain to think about it! ”

…… The next day, Qiu Hongzhi listened to Kang Lizhang's 1510 relay, his face was distorted for a while, but at the end, he still sighed, and shouted that his henchman Jin Cicada took three thousand taels of silver tickets and two pieces of jade: "Tell her that I only have so much silver." These two pieces of ancient jade were originally bought for more than 8,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 7,000 were worth the rest. ”

Kang Lizhang and Qiu Hongzhi are both rivals of Princess Yang, so they are more familiar, and when they saw that only Jin Cicada was in the room, they asked in a low voice: "Why was the eldest cousin asked for silver by her last time?" ”

"When Princess Ruan passed away before, the Yang family received five thousand taels of silver from Ruan Qingyan, and Fang spent a few hundred taels on the funeral—" Qiu Hongzhi said with a gloomy face, "As a result, this is cheap. People are fighting with me! ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid this matter is still the handiwork of my eldest aunt, otherwise is that one who is afraid of my eldest aunt? She didn't ask her aunt for it, she asked you for it, I think the aunt promised her what benefits in private? Kang Lizhang pondered for a while and said, "Auntie, this is deliberately pretending to be sick and letting you be a housekeeper and roast you on the fire!" ”

Jin Chan interjected on the side and said: "Miss Cousin, we also know what you said, but now there are so many people in the house, the prince and the princess are sick, and our son doesn't come out to preside over the overall situation, who else can it be?" Other people are always wrong and don't say what they say, don't you? ”

Kang Lizhang heard that this was Jin Chan, who was afraid that she would have the right to talk to Qiu Hong next, and deliberately squeezed herself, and her face immediately sank!

Just looking at the golden cicada's appearance of smiling but not smiling, Fang woke up and realized that his grandmother, Mrs. Lu, had passed away - without this backer, the golden cicada who served Qiu Hongzhi in the hibiscus tent last year was so confident in the power of the pillow wind that he didn't put himself in front of him!

Recalling that when Mrs. Lu was there, Jin Chan flattered herself, and then looked at the frivolous appearance of this maid now, Kang Lizhang gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. But seeing Qiu Hongzhi drinking tea quietly, he didn't mean to scold Jin Cicada, knowing that this eldest cousin was afraid that he would have the same thoughts, but he was afraid that when Mrs. Lu was there, the inner courtyard of the palace was full of the old things that had the final say on her mother and daughter.

She evened her breath and said without smiling: "Why did I say that the eldest cousin shouldn't be in charge of the overall situation?" I mean, in the past, Aunt Yang didn't take anything from the second aunt and the first concubine! What if that one of the two heads of three days finds an excuse to come to the eldest cousin and ask for this and that, how can it be good? ”

Jin Chan pursed the corners of her lips, she was jealous of this commoner-born, but she relied on the old lady Lu to like it, and she had lived in the palace for a long time more than the county lord, and now that she had the opportunity to step on Kang Lizhang, she naturally couldn't miss it: "Then you mean you want to pay this money for our son?" ”

These words almost made Kang Lizhang so angry that she pumped her!

But Kang Lizhang is not an ordinary person, he actually held back his anger, and only said coldly: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother?" If this money is given for the first time, it will continue to flow in the future, and I am afraid that she will have no reason to continue to ask for it? Gold and silver mountains can also be emptied! Who can afford such an overhead? ”

Qiu Hongzhi watched coldly as the maid and his cousin quarreled until now, and finally spoke: "Cousin, don't worry about the golden cicada...... What do you have in mind? ”

Kang Lizhang noticed that he was still more protective of the golden cicada, his heart was cold, but his face was not obvious, and he only said lightly: "I think that since it was the money collected by the eldest aunt, it is better to let the eldest aunt pay it back herself." ”

"I told my father about this, and my father was not in good spirits, so I probably listened to it, and asked me to find the Yang family to talk about it." Qiu Hongzhi was very disappointed with this idea, and said in a mocking tone, "The Yang family said that the money was filial to his grandmother - who knows if it's true or false now?" He also said that the government couldn't draw such a sum of money, so I should ignore it. The seal of the large sum of silver was in her hand, and I was afraid that I would disturb my father's recuperation...... These three thousand taels are my own private room. ”

Qiu Hongzhi also has his difficulties: his biological mother has passed away, and he can't ease his cheeks. Taiwan is Qiu Mengmin, and the reason why Qiu Mengmin values him more than the eldest son is because he thinks he is more capable than Qiu Yinzhi.

Therefore, Princess Yang was deliberately embarrassed, he couldn't always ask Qiu Mengmin for him.

Once Qiu Mengmin thinks that he is actually very useless, you can imagine his fate. Otherwise, how could he take out his hard-earned private money to pay protection money?

Kang Lizhang frowned and said, "If you give all this money to that one and then envelop the people in the mansion, what will you do?" "I'll tell you the truth, now my aunt has to be sick, and after this time, ......"

Now is also the best time for Qiu Hongzhi to take control of the royal mansion - at least to cultivate his own power.

If it weren't for the fear of leaving a handle on filial piety, Princess Yang would never have called herself sick here and let her eldest son come out to take charge!

Qiu Hongzhi frowned tightly.

"Actually, if you can take your own things, why don't you take them...... Six cousins and seven cousins? Kang Lizhang pursed his lips and said softly.

"What's around them?" Qiu Hong was stunned, "Those two little things are the Yang family's heart and liver treasures, and the people around them were all personally selected by the Yang family." ”

Kang Lizhang said unhurriedly: "But not necessarily." "I'm afraid that Qiu Hongzhi won't hear what she means," when my grandmother was there, she also cared about them very much. ”

Qiu Hongzhi glanced at her unexpectedly, leaning forward slightly: "How much can you take out?" ”

"When my grandmother is here, it's easy to say." Kang Lizhang sighed, "But now...... They don't have the guts! ”

"Cousin, are you still outside with me?" Qiu Hongzhi frowned, "I know what you're worried about - we're grasshoppers on a rope now!" If I can suppress the Yang family, won't you and your aunt be more relaxed? ”

Kang Lizhang glanced at the golden cicada biting his lip, and said with a light smile: "What the eldest cousin said is like I am talking to you about the conditions." Am I that kind of person? With your words, I'll go back and do it. It's just that...... If you take this thing out and want to cash it out? ”

Qiu Hongzhi heard that she didn't plan to tell her about the hands that Old Madam Lu had placed, so she frowned and let go, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you bring something, I still have this way." He also reminded, "But tell them to brighten their eyes, and don't take some worthless things, which will waste their efforts in vain!" ”

"Not really, they still have a little bit of eyesight." Kang Li Zhang guaranteed.

Qiu Hongzhi said again: "Also, if something is missing, if you find out......"

"It's definitely not about my eldest cousin." Kang Lizhang will know.

"Now that our son-in-law is in charge, I'm afraid that something is wrong over there, even if he doesn't know anything, he has to drag his son-in-law to give them an explanation?" Jin Cicada was unwilling to be left out in the cold, and she was also annoyed that Kang Lizhang looked at her meaningfully just now, and said lukewarmly.

Qiu Hongzhi didn't get used to her this time, and immediately shouted: "How did you talk to Miss Biao?!" Palm! ”

Jin Cicada was stunned, and looked at Qiu Hongzhi aggrievedly, but saw that he had completely lost the warmth of his ears and temples, and looked at himself coldly, with a clear anger in his eyes!

"Smack! Syllable! Seeing that Jin Cicada slapped himself twice with tears, and her pink cheeks were swollen high, Kang Lizhang smiled and persuaded: "Why should my cousin be angry for a slave? How could I bother with her? This is clearly a mockery of Qiu Hongzhi's understatement just now, "Cousin, don't worry about Jin Cicada".

Qiu Hongzhiquan didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "You and my brother and sister, how can a maid compare?" ”

Although Kang Lizhang knew that he was asking for himself to say this now, and he didn't know how to belittle himself to comfort Jin Chan when he looked back, he still felt a burst of happiness when he looked at Jin Cicada's pale face, and said with a smile: "Let's be serious: if you notice that something is missing over there, cousin, you will inevitably be found by your aunt to be angry." However, what if the sixth cousin and the seventh cousin themselves are not angry and sell things? ”

Qiu Hongzhi's eyes lit up!
