Chapter 315: Trickery
"Sister Chun is fine, Mrs. arranged for Mother Zhang to be with her." Zhang's mother will deliver the baby, and the people in the house ask her for help.
With the help of Wu's mother, Mrs. Dong quickly figured out what was happening in the palace, but she wanted to interfere or make trouble, but she was helpless.
The princess said to Mrs. Dong: "It's not that the slave and maid refuse to help, it's really the new princess who lets the subordinates monitor each other, whoever holds someone higher than their status down, who can be promoted, if they can't do it, then change the bonus, according to the size of the contribution, the rough mother-in-law of the kitchen, Jiang Ma, let her youngest son follow the Wang steward who was bought, and finally confirmed that he was corrupt, and the cheap report was expensive, the Wang steward was sold to the coal kiln, and Jiang's mother and his family were rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and they became commoners. ”
"What's so good about that? Why did they live without the palace? ”
"Ouch, Mrs. Dong, Jiang's mother's youngest son is very smart, the eldest son and the man are carpenters, relying on this craft, the family lives safely, and the younger son may be able to study."
"Hmph, is it easy to provide a reader? Besides, once in three years, how many jinshi are only in one time? Mrs. Dong pouted disdainfully, "Whimsical." ”
"Madam, don't you know, I heard that Jiang's mother's son has been with the third master for more than two years, and he can write poems and memorize the Analects by standing outside the window to listen to his husband's lectures.
"Nonsense, your prince is too nonsense."
"The prince listened to Jiang's mother's son's endorsement, and then gave him the four treasures of the study, so that he could study hard, become a pillar of the country in the future, and share the worries of the court."
Mrs. Dong was silent for a long time, she firmly believed that this Jiang family child had average qualifications, and the prince did this mainly to show the people of the mansion, and to cheer for the new princess's housekeeping method. Prince Ren is interested in the women he likes and is willing to do anything for them, before, I don't know how many times he was used by the Dong family, but now, the new princess has also taken advantage of this character, just curbing the small actions of the Dong family.
"I didn't expect this new princess to be quite scheming." Mrs. Dong sighed with emotion, sent Wang's mother away, and when the man came back in the evening, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, making excuses for not being able to save her sister-in-law.
"How can a Tartar woman, who grew up in the wilderness, have such ability? Didn't you hear that the prince asked for two old palace maids from the clan? Dong Jincai reprimanded the woman unhappily, "You can think of a way to see if you can start with these two women, don't you often enter the palace?" You always know a few old people, right? ”
"Oh, yes, why did the concubine forget about this stubble."
Mrs. Dong sent someone to inquire, and soon knew that the two old palace maids who entered the palace of Prince Ren were the former queen mother, and she had tried her best, but she could not be entrapped, Mrs. Dong thought hatefully: "Two old things, always put on a high appearance, and think that you don't love money, now that you are old, you still have to bow your head and be a slave?" If you are willing to submit to me, I will give you enough money now, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing. ”
Dong Jincai saw his wife complaining that he couldn't do anything, and he was really annoyed: "Didn't you boast about Haikou and say how capable you are?" Why are you at a loss now? ”
"The concubine body said before that there were two or three in front of the queen mother and the concubine, and they didn't eat soft and hard, and now, these two in Prince Ren's mansion are the ones that the concubine didn't buy."
"Since you are so hard-hearted, how can you be a slave again? Inquire about this. ”
"Yes, sir."
This time, Mrs. Dong didn't find out any news, but she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Dong Jin came back from the next court, and saw his wife with a frightened face, he retreated and asked, "What the hell is going on, look at you scared." ”
"Master, the concubine remembered that the two old palace maids in Prince Ren's Mansion were friendly with the lord of Yujie, and before the queen mother died, she sent them out of the palace, and they went to the Qian Mansion to raise them, and they were not from the Zongren Mansion at all."
"Do you remember clearly? Did you go to Qianfu? How did you get to Prince Ren's Mansion? ”
"Master, this is exactly what the concubine is worried about, the county lord of Yujie is the stepmother of the princess, and the relationship is extraordinary, the sister-in-law came back and said, the lord of Yujie also sued the princess of Ren at the queen mother for the princess."
Dong Jincai also became nervous: "You mean, Prince Ren's Mansion is actually in the hands of the princess now?" ”
"Probably."
Dong Jin didn't speak for a long time, and Mrs. Dong was anxious and asked the man: "Master, did the prince and his wife notice something?" ”
"Noise, let me think about it."
Mrs. Dong looked at the man aggrievedly, blinking her eyes, hoping to hear a reasonable explanation, but she saw that the man's face was getting more and more ugly, and in the gloom, there was a trace of defeat, she was afraid that the man would not be able to figure it out for a while, and she couldn't help but comfort: "Master, even if the princess controls the palace, it will be temporary, we will find a way to infiltrate some people around the Tartar woman, as long as we tell her that when she is the princess, I don't believe that the Tartar woman is not angry." ”
"Well, that's the way to go, you try to see if you can find a place to go down."
"Yes, sir." After Mrs. Dong finished speaking, she looked at the man, but saw that his face still hadn't improved, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Master, are you still worried about anything?" ”
"I'm afraid that this Tartar woman was all taken by Prince Ren's son." Dong Jincai said a word, but suddenly stopped, glanced at his wife and said, "You don't understand, what should you do." With that, he went to the study.
This night, Dong Jincai almost sleepless all night, he heard a trace of abnormality in what his wife said, if the princess is even ready, waiting here for Prince Ren's new princess to take the throne, then Prince Ren will have such a new princess, it is arranged by the couple, then, Prince Ren will go to the north instead of the emperor, and the Hulun Ministry sent Princess Naren Gaova, are all in their plans? Then, did everything he Dong Jincai did to Prince Ren's Mansion also be discovered by them? Thinking of the ability of Prince Ren's son, Dong Jin subconsciously touched his neck, he was really a little worried, afraid that one day, a dark arrow suddenly flew in, and he saw the king of Hades so unexplained, or he was grabbed by Prince Ren's son and sued in front of the emperor.
How much do they know about their whereabouts? What's next? Dong Jincai chattered, thinking, and before he knew it, the sky was dawning.
In the next few days, Dong Jin changed his habit of talking in the court, and suddenly learned Shen Mingzhao, frowning every day, silent, and even a little mentally unpleasant, not only the courtiers saw that something was wrong with him, but even Emperor Yongchang asked: "Does Dong Aiqing have anything on his mind recently?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister was windy two days ago, and he had a headache."
"Have you asked for a doctor?"
"Please, it's nothing, just take a break."
"Then you can rest for a day tomorrow, and if it's not good, then rest for another day."
"Long live Ron!" Dong Jincai has been unable to sleep for the past few days, he really wants to ask for leave to sleep well, but he is afraid that he is not there, what tricks Shen Mingzhao is playing, now that the emperor has decreed Chrysostom, he has nothing else to think about, sure enough, he has not been to the court for two days in a row, but the problem has not been solved, he still can't sleep at home, he is about to drive himself crazy, and he has not figured out how many secrets Qian Jun knows about him, this Prince Ren's remarriage is a coincidence, or is it deliberately arranged by Prince Ren's son.
On this day, Dong Jincai really couldn't bear it, sitting in the study in a daze, and suddenly heard outside, the servant who followed him coughed quietly: "Master, someone has sent a letter." ”
"Who, bring it in."
"A young man, you said you would know it after reading the letter."
Prince Ren saw that on the envelope, the two lines of cross and cross were superimposed, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately took the letter and asked the servant to go out, and then he carefully opened it, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with only a few simple words on it: "According to the old way, if you completely go to the root of the bane, you will do it once and for all." ”
"Ouch!" Dong Jincai slapped his head suddenly, "I'm also confused, whether he knows it or not, why should I worry about getting rid of the idea?" ”
Dong Jincai finally slept well, and then, his brain was enough, and soon he had a good way, he wrote a secret letter according to the agreement, and asked people to send it to the statue of the Three Immortals Temple outside the city.
Two days later, Dong Jin received another nameless letter, which was still a page with a cat drawn on it, opening its mouth and squeezing its eyes to call.
"Hey, hey, hey." Dong Jincai was happy, this is a partner praising him, the cat opened its mouth and barked, isn't it a "wonderful"?
Dong Jincai stayed up late again and again, and tried his best to write a melodrama, trying his best to bewitch Emperor Yongchang, so that he could start a war with Mao Dun as soon as possible and take down the Great Black Mountain Racecourse. This time, Dong Jincai's luck was super good, and Emperor Yongchang was very happy when he got the fold, and immediately summoned the powerful minister to discuss the matter in the upper study.
At that time, the purpose of Jean Naren marrying Prince Ren was this big black mountain horse farm, but after Prince Ren's wedding, no one mentioned this matter again, which made Emperor Yongchang depressed, and now, Dong Jin jumped out and gave the emperor an excuse.
Qian Jun was also called into the palace, there was no way, but he couldn't escape anything about the northern frontier.
"Your Majesty, the year is coming to an end, the Tartars know that we are going to celebrate the festival, and they used to like this time to provoke trouble, but this year, if we take the initiative." "Well, Dong Aiqing has a trick?" "Your Majesty, in the past, we planned to lend the road to Hulun'er, although we have a greater chance of winning in this way, but the horse farm is not good for us to take it back, Hulun'er is willing, can some of his vassal kings be willing? Even if we have the upper hand for a while, there will still be disputes in the future, so it is better for us to fight this battle ourselves, and if we are surprised, we may be able to win. ”
