Chapter 137: The eldest princess tried the begonia flower three times
Ye Tanghua sat in the sedan chair full of apprehension, the eldest princess called her to go and didn't know why? Will it have anything to do with Feng Feiqing? I'm afraid that she doesn't leave ten, she doesn't have any friendship with the eldest princess, even if the eldest princess is really bored, she shouldn't look for her......
She gently rubbed the embroidery on the cuffs, her good-looking eyebrows frowned shallowly, and her teeth gently bit her cherry lips, becoming more and more entangled.
has been a human being for two lives, and this is the first time she has met the eldest princess, and I don't know what kind of person she is......
"County Lord, the palace has arrived." Aunt Gui's voice came outside the sedan chair, and then the sedan curtain was raised by the maid with the sedan chair, Aunt Gui stepped forward to help Ye Tanghua get off the sedan chair, when Ye Tang Huafu stood and looked up, what caught her eye was the hanging flower door of Changping Palace, and the maid led her through the hanging flower door, which was the inner courtyard of Changping Palace.
Bypassing the shadow wall, it is the main hall where the eldest princess usually entertains guests, Ye Tanghua couldn't help but be a little apprehensive when she walked here, but there was no way back from here, her heart was horizontal, and she walked into the main hall in an orderly manner with the maid, and her eyes caught a glimpse of a splendid hem on the main seat, with a luan bird embroidered on it, and it was extraordinary.
"Qing Shang has seen the eldest princess, the eldest princess Wanfu Jin'an." Ye Tanghua bowed calmly.
"Get up, let the main hall take a good look." The eldest princess's words came into her ears, Ye Tanghua raised her head as she said, stood up, and a smile was dyed on her lips.
Regardless of whether she is sure or not, she will never allow herself to show her cowardice in front of strangers, let alone the mother in front of her?
"It's a good birth, sit down." Qi Suyue looked at Ye Tanghua for a long time, and only felt that although this little girl was not enough, she was beautiful, and she was actually a billet that captivated the country and the city, but although her appearance was extraordinary, she didn't know what the little girl was inside? If she had a good skin, she would never allow Feng Jiuge's thoughts.
"It's not a big deal for the palace to call the county lord this time, but after Jiuyou came back from the Guangshun Hou family, he was full of praise for the county lord, saying that this time the county lord of Shangyuan Oiran was worthy of his name, and the temple was also interested, and wanted to see the county lord. Aunt Gui, go and ask the county lord to come out and meet. Qi Suyue praised Ye Tanghua with a smile, and asked someone to invite Feng Jiuyou.
"The princess praised her, and Qing Shang was ashamed. The so-called Shangyuan Oiran, originally but His Majesty raised love, so that the Qing merchants were listed among them at the age of cardamom, although there is this name, it is not the truth, but the lord of Yajun County has both talent and appearance, and the Qing merchants are willing to bow down. Ye Tanghua knew that the county lord in the eldest princess's mouth was her daughter Feng Jiuyou, so she smiled and dismissed the eldest princess's praise, and by the way, she gave Feng Jiuyou a high hat.
"The county lord is too humble, where can Yachun be as good as the county lord in the slightest? Looking at the Shangyuan letterhead, I also know that Yachun is incomparable. There was a sound of bead curtains breaking in the back hall, and then Feng Jiuyou walked out, smiling and accompanying his mother.
"Qing Shang has seen the lord of Yaxun." Feng Jiuyou's words Ye Tanghua is not easy to push, and it is not easy to recognize it, so he simply ignored it directly, and opened the topic with a sentence of please.
"County lord, get up, it's just that I'm idle to talk to you today, and I'm not in front of outsiders, why do I have such a thorough courtesy?" Qi Suyue Yingying laughed, there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't feel that she was old, but she was dignified.
"Even so, the great gift will not dare to be abolished, it is an unexpected blessing for Qing Shang to be able to get the blue eyes of His Majesty the Queen Mother, how dare he be pampered and arrogant, and live up to His Majesty's love and care?" Ye Tang smiled and said some big truths, but he refused to let go and made himself a little disrespectful.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, the eldest princess invited her for no reason, and told her this, if it was said that there was no reason, she would never believe it, but if it was really for Fei Qing, then she must not let go of this mouth, if she really listened to the words of the eldest princess, her demeanor became frivolous, and this was an excuse for the eldest princess to refute Fei Qing.
Qi Suyue saw that Ye Tanghua had no arrogance at all, and she had a little more affection for Ye Tanghua in her heart, since Feng Jiuge sent Ye Tanghua Shangyuan letterhead, it was an indirect expression of her mind, but Ye Tanghua received more than one family in Changping Wangfu, that is to say, in terms of emotion, Ye Tanghua took the initiative, if Ye Tanghua was really the woman who didn't know how to advance or retreat, at this time, looking at Changping Palace, it should be with a contemptuous attitude, but looking at Ye Tanghua's attitude, it was neither humble nor arrogant, and the etiquette was thorough, It was right for Qi Suyue's appetite.
Maung and Li have already tried, and the next thing is Hui, Qi Suyue and Feng Jiuyou glanced at each other, and glanced at each other, Qi Suyue smiled: "Speaking of which, this hall has encountered a small trouble recently, and it needs a spiritual person to help the staff officer, I don't know if the county lord may help with this?" ”
"Lingxin Huizhi doesn't dare to be, but if the eldest princess has a need, Qingshang will be dull." Although she didn't dare to be too close to the eldest princess, if she could increase the eldest princess's favor for her, Ye Tanghua would naturally not shirk too much.
"In fact, this is the case, the county lord also knows that the horse of the temple used to be the general who led the army, the first emperor rewarded him with ten boxes of treasures, over the years the horse rewarded people with things all from these ten boxes, each of these ten boxes has its own key, each key is handed over to a cronie of the horse for safekeeping, for many years has been like this, but this is extremely inconvenient, for example, the horse wants to reward people with a pair of jade Ruyi, but the cronie who manages the jade Ruyi box is not there, isn't this embarrassing? So please think of a way to make it more convenient? Qi Suyue said with a smile.
Feng Jiuyou tilted his head and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? My mother gave each box ten keys, and each cronie sent ten keys. ”
"You...... Although this method is feasible, it is too stupid, and it has long become a habit for each of the ten cronies to be in charge of a key, and if there are more keys, I am afraid that they will not take good care of them. Thinking about it, with the county lord's spiritual heart, there should be a better way, right? Qi Suyue smiled and touched Feng Jiuyou's head, but finally turned to Ye Tanghua.
Ye Tanghua smiled indifferently, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Tanghua is stupid, I only think of one way, this method requires a box with two keys, but each cronie still has only one key in his hand, I don't know if it can meet the eldest princess's wishes." ”
"You only need two boxes for you? The county lord will listen to it. A hint of appreciation swept through Qi Suyue's eyes.
Qing Shang felt that each of the ten chests was equipped with two keys, and each cronie still had his own key, and then put the other key of the first box in the second box and lock it, and put the other key of the second box in the third box and lock it...... In this way, each cronie will be able to open the chest corresponding to their own key and get the key to open the next one, and all the chests can be opened by one cronie as long as the chain is performed...... I don't know if you can be satisfied with this answer? Ye Tanghua spoke eloquently, and Qi Suyue couldn't help nodding.
"Okay, the county lord is really spiritual, and it really amazes His Highness...... In this case, there is another difficult matter here in the main hall, I don't know if the county lord may solve it for the main hall? ”
"The eldest princess has an order, and the Qing Shang dare not disrespect."
"In that case, bring the silver." Qi Suyue gave an order, and several maidservants walked in carrying boxes of silver.
"These silver are five taels of silver ingots, each box has five hundred taels, a total of ten boxes of five thousand taels, is the Changping Wangfu ten Zhuangzi entry, the horse originally sent ten subordinates to collect the silver, but the people who went with someone said that there is a person in these ten subordinates who is ignorant, the five taels of silver ingots each erased a penny of silver, the horse has doubts about this matter, and does not want to weigh the silver with great fanfare to chill the hearts of the subordinates, I don't know what the county lord can do, the least number of weighing, but can find out who is ignorant of the silver? If the county lord has a good method, the temple is willing to give away the silver. Qi Suyue said with a smile.
"Hey, if I come up with a good idea, can my mother give me this money too?" Feng Jiuyou joked with a smile.
"This is natural, it only depends on who is ingenious between you and the county lord." Qi Suyue bowed her head.
"In that case, I thought of it!" Feng Jiuyou glanced at Ye Tanghua and said with a smile.
"Since the county lord thinks of it, why don't you listen to it?" Ye Tanghua smiled slightly and looked back calmly.
Feng Jiu secretly praised Ye Tanghua for not being shocked in the face of the huge sum of five thousand taels of silver, and he didn't take the gains and losses to heart at all, so he smiled and said, "Divide these ten boxes of silver into two groups, a group of five boxes, take out a silver ingot from each of these two groups of boxes and weigh it, which group is light, divide this group of silver into two groups, two ingots in a group, and put the remaining one aside, put these two groups of silver on the scale, if it is the same weight, then the one that comes out of the excess is the silver that has been ignored; If the weight of these two sets of silver is not equal, then weigh the light group again, and the light one is the silver that has been obscured, and according to this method, it is enough to weigh at least twice, and at most three times. ”
Qi Suyue nodded, but she didn't say anything, she just looked at Ye Tanghua with a smile: "Yajun's idea, what does the county lord think?" ”
"The county lord's idea is that the Qing Shang doesn't dare to say anything, but if it is according to the Qing Shang's idea, it is enough to weigh it once." Ye Tanghua glanced at the boxes and smiled indifferently.
"Oh? This is interesting, I wonder how the county lord plans to weigh it? Qi Suyue asked with a smile.
"It's very simple, the eldest princess can take one ingot of silver from the first box, two ingots of silver from the second box, until the tenth box takes ten ingots of silver, and then put these fifty-five ingots of silver together on the scale and weigh them, fifty-five ingots and five taels of silver should be a total of two hundred and seventy-five taels, and a few coins of silver are the first few boxes that have been ignored." Ye Tang pointed to the ten boxes with his fingers, as if these ten boxes were not filled with silver coins, but mud and rubble.
Qi Suyue's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement, and then she bowed her head and said: "The county lord is really smart, he actually came up with such an ingenious method, since this is the case, the palace is not good at breaking its promise, and all this silver belongs to the county lord!" ”
"Although the eldest princess has good intentions, but Qing Shang relieves your worries, is it for these silver coins? If you give away these silver, it will hurt the heart of the Qing merchants, if you insist on giving it away, you might as well charge this silver into the treasury, one to live up to the sincerity of the Qing merchants, and the other is to contribute to my Nanyan. Ye Tanghua immediately got up and bowed, and said.
Although silver is a good thing, it also has to come with confidence, and as soon as she talks up and down, she took away five thousand taels of silver from the Changping Palace, what is going on? The eldest princess obviously said this on the spot, what if people regret it afterwards? For five thousand taels of silver, she made herself a thorn in the eldest princess's side, which is really not cost-effective. It's better to push it away, so that she doesn't fall into the hands of others, as for how the eldest princess chooses, that's someone else's business.
Sure enough, Qi Suyue couldn't stop nodding: "What a Qingshang county lord, the strange emperor praised you for both loyalty and filial piety, this kind of loyalty is really rare in the world, your words have been recorded in this hall, planting good causes and getting good results, the county lord is sincere, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”
After that, Qi Suyue pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not early, and the palace will not force the county lord to stay, the county lord may as well come to the palace to sit in the future when he has leisure, Yajun is very happy to come and intersect with the county lord." ”
Feng Jiuyou also smiled and said: "If the county lord of Meng County comes to make snow, Yajun dares to ask for the flowers." ”
Ye Tanghua smiled and said a few words, then said goodbye and went out with the maid.
After Ye Tanghua went out, the eldest princess turned her head to look at the inner hall and said with a smile: "I like this girl very much in my heart, she knows etiquette and observance, advances and retreats in moderation, and is born smart...... What do you see? ”
There was another hula in the inner hall, Feng Zhan waved his hand and the bead curtain collided, and he came out like a breeze from under his feet, sat down next to Qi Suyue and took a sip of tea, and snorted: "The stinky boy's vision is okay, but this girl is also a little smaller!" ”
