349 Invitation (Ask for Pink Tickets)
Within two days, Xie Rong had misremembered the file and the news of his official retrenchment came over.
Xie Wan didn't have time to care about Xie Rong's reaction to this, was he angry or unwilling or depressed? Because Yin Zhao and Gu Shengzong are about to officially come to Anmu Palace.
While dealing with Concubine Zheng and Yin Yao, it is also necessary to tightly unite the forces of these in-laws. Relatives also need to move around from time to time to maintain, otherwise, so many official eunuchs in the capital are all such and such in-laws, how can they not necessarily love each other so much?
Lu Guogong is in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Chinese military camp in charge of the Protector is on the outskirts of Beijing, and when necessary, the Gu family can become a force that should cooperate with the Huo family.
Except for the hurried meeting on the day of the wedding, Xie Wan never saw Gu Shengzong again.
This day is also a crisp autumn day, I heard that the prince and the princess's chariot entered the mansion, Xie Wan and Yin Yu greeted him together, and saw that in the front gate building, a medium-sized young scribe with clear eyes stood next to the princess's jade chariot, stretched out a hand, and helped Yin Zhao down to the ground very elegantly.
Yin Zhao nodded generously at his brother and sister-in-law, and Gu Shengzong bowed to the two of them on the side.
Yin Zhao said: "It's not an outsider, you can be easy-going in the future." β
Gu Shengzong smiled at her, and then followed her into the Middle Gate Tower.
Gu Shengzong, as the prince of Lu Guo, the "fool" in Yin Zhao's mouth, does have his "stupid" side. For example, he remembered everything Yin Zhao said, but whenever Yin Zhao needed anything, he was always the first to think of it. In addition to not looking very clever, he is not as good-looking as Yin Zhao, and he should be a very smart person in his heart.
However, Yin Yu's brothers and sisters are too good-looking, and they can't be compared with ordinary people. Gu Shengzong is also a handsome son who threw him into the pile, and he can also attract the attention of many people.
Naturally, he had to enter the main hall first to talk about it before doing anything else, and Xie Wan made careful preparations in order to entertain them.
On the way to Zhengyu Hall, Yin Zhao was still in front, Gu Shengzong was behind, Yin Zhao pointed to the courtyard and introduced Gu Shengzong in a whisper, and he listened silently and nodded. Although Yin Zhao, who was soft-spoken, also looked a little imposing. However, Gu Shengzong, who was as warm as water, stood beside her, and he looked very compatible.
Xie Wan's appreciation for Yin Zhao couldn't help but add two points, this lonely peony flower blooming in the deep palace, and the vision of picking a husband was also very unique.
The Anmu Mansion and the Lu State Mansion have become increasingly close.
Here, Rong Er's grandmother's people are eyeing Ren Ruhua. It didn't take long for me to reply.
"Ren Ruhua has two shops in his hands. It's all in the jade workshop. Originally, they were all rented, and they could get a thousand taels of silver a year, but somehow she took it back a while ago. Want to do it yourself. But I haven't figured out what to do to make a living. β
I am not satisfied with the income of thousands of taels a year, and I want to do it myself, most of which is caused by fighting with Xie Wei to the death. Rong Er's grandmother held the tea, but she didn't speak for a long time.
Now that Mrs. Zheng has instigated Zheng Wangfu and Anmu Wangfu to form a new feud, with the temperament of Zheng Wang and his wife, they will definitely stare at Anmu Wangfu and wait to catch them.
She has long not regarded Yin Yao's ascension to the throne as the top priority, Yin Yao is the son of Concubine Zheng, he is on the throne, doesn't the Zheng family still have to bow down to them? If Yin Yao is like Yin Yu, it doesn't matter, he has the ability and means, and can control the situation, but he is still firmly protected by Concubine Zheng under his wings, and Yin Yu even does his own marriage, Yin Yao has grown so big, what has he done?
Of course, this is a bit ambitious, and it is also very beneficial for the Zheng family to have a crown prince, but she has been frightened by Ji Zhenyuan's case, so many people in the Zheng Mansion almost gave him a funeral, and since then, she has begun to alienate from Concubine Zheng's ambitions. It's not that they don't support it, but they won't blindly follow it as they used to.
However, judging from Mrs. Zheng's attitude, she and Zheng Duo will not give up, especially the third room of the Zheng family seems to be quite enthusiastic about this matter, if she doesn't follow, the third room will still rush to do it.
Over the years, although the two bedrooms and three bedrooms have been very close in the long house, everyone will do the friendship in person, and they all live in the same house in private, and there are always conflicts of interest, so even if she leaves Ren Ruhua behind, the Wu family will definitely continue to pinch the line of the Zeng family.
If she leaves Ren Ruhua here like this, Concubine Zheng will turn around and ask again, and she will have to let the Wu family steal the limelight.
"Grandma, Zeng's sideβ"
Seeing that she hadn't made a sound for a long time, the subordinate reminded her loudly.
She put down the tea that was getting colder and said, "Go to the next post to Grandma Ren San, and say that I will invite her to have tea in Lanting tomorrow." β
The three rooms of the Zeng family seem to have changed in the past few months. Ren Ruhua handed over the middle feed, and after Xie Wei took power, he changed all the internal and foreign servants, but he didn't change them, and he was transferred elsewhere. Except for Ren Ru's picturesque Dangui Courtyard, there is no place that is not poisoned by her.
Ren Ruhua was resentful at the beginning, and he was also angry and sick, and later gradually accepted his fate.
Following Zeng Mi's ups and downs for so many years, of course she is not the kind of person who can be defeated with a few casual strokes, although Xie Wei has the right to hold the third room, but she has children and daughters, and the oldest is thirteen years old, and the youngest daughter is seven years old, and she is the original partner, what is she afraid of? Looking back, Zeng Mi didn't have a concubine, so she should treat Xie Wei as a concubine, and she couldn't be like a concubine.
Think about Zeng Mi again, although he comforted her a lot afterwards, but in the end, it was like a different chef stir-frying, and it was no longer the original taste. Of course, she won't give up on him, her husband is her heaven, if she really annoys him, what good is she? So although she found that the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years was so weak, she still had to cheer up.
She remembered that she still had some industry in her hands, and she had never had time to take care of the things in the house, but now that she was relaxed, she could pick it up and run it, she didn't believe it, Xie Wei could really sit in the position of this grandmother?
When Rong Er's grandmother's people came to deliver the post, she was rummaging through the information that her subordinates had inquired about, and when she heard that the Zheng family's people were looking for her again, she couldn't help frowning.
The two young grandmothers of the Zheng family deliberately approached her again and again, although they were not sure what the final purpose was, but they were very happy to see that she and Xie Wan were on the same page, and Ren Ruhua also hated Xie Wan, if she hadn't set a trap to beat Zeng Mi, how could Xie Wei come to Zeng's house? How could she fall from the position of the third grandmother of the scenery to the situation of moving out of the main courtyard and living alone in Dangui Courtyard?
She didn't give up for a moment to take revenge on her, but she didn't take it lightly if she didn't have the right opportunity.
She was almost sure what Rong's invitation was for, but she knew that the other party might use her as a gunman, but she couldn't refuse.
When Yuying took the Zheng family's people to the door, Citi happened to fall in her eyes, she turned around and went back to the room to tell Xie Wei.
Of course, Xie Wei also knew about Xie Rong's dismissal, and she also had the urge to rush back to take a look at the first time, but thinking about what Xie Rong said to her at the end, she finally held it back. There is nothing more painful than finding that there is actually nothing more painful in the hearts of the people you care about the most, Xie Rong is like this, and she has no point to go back.
She wrote a letter to Xie Yun behind the kang table, and raised her head when she heard this: "How do you know that it is from the Zheng family?" β
Citi casually sharpened the ink for her, "Grandma went out to the banquet twice, and both times she saw the second grandmother of the Zheng family, and this person followed the second grandmother of Rong every time. If it's not someone from the Zheng family, who else will it be? β
Citi has always been attentive.
Xie Wei was stabbed by the Rong family once, and he didn't have a good impression of her, so he said, "You go and keep an eye and see what they hook up with." β
The next day, Ren Ruhua went out to make an appointment and fell into the eyes of Citi.
Ren Ruhua went out at the hour and did not return until the end of noon.
Rong was the only one who asked her today, and there was no Wu present, and the scene seemed much more comfortable, Rong first talked to her about some rumors in Beijing recently, and then pulled it to Ren Ruhua's shop.
Ren Ruhua didn't know why her news was so dissipated, she actually knew that her shop was taken back and made it herself, but this is not something worth covering, and if she really decides what to do to make a living, she will have to beg for more care in the circle of official wives in the future, so she will say it generously.
Rong suggested that she make a rouge shop.
"Rouge shops sell a lot, you know, although there are many good rouge shops in Jingshi, they still have a profit on the folio. Moreover, there are not many rouge shops in the city that sell Western goods, and most of the famous shops sell rouge outside Yanbei Pass. Although Yanbei's is also rare, but after all, Western goods are selling well now, if you can open such a shop, I guarantee that it is more famous than Quan Fangzhai! β
Rong's words also made her suddenly, but isn't it that Western goods are very marketable in Beijing now? But she has no one on the coast, so where can she go to the West to dump these things?
Rong Shi saw her shake her head, so he said: "It's easy to find someone, those soldiers who have stayed in the East China Sea in the past years have a relationship with the local people in the East China Sea, and the people in the East China Sea have Western sources, and I happen to have an uncle who returned from the East China Sea back then, and now there are letters with old friends over there, if you can trust me, I can help you pull the strings."
"In addition to selling rouge pollen, you will also sell some delicate gadgets by the way, and the business will be booming!"
Ren Ruhua couldn't help but believe her sincerity when she saw her.
The imperial court encourages commerce and trade, and the selling price of Western goods has been quite high recently, so she can't help but be unmoved.
However, she thought about the information she had gathered, and said, "This is good, but I see that there are already two Western goods shops and three or four rouge shops in Langyufang, and I am afraid it will be thankless to join in this excitement." (To be continued.) )
