Chapter Seventy-Two: Punishing the Proud Shen Family
Sure enough, the people take food as the sky, and now, it is impossible for the emperor not to be respectful to Yu Xue, not to mention, Yu Xue has already let go just now, and he is in a hurry, and he burned all the rice in a fire, I don't care what you are Li people or palace nobles.
Yu Xue just knelt down slightly, and said with a smile: "The people's daughter accepts the order." ”
The voice is very faint, there is no trace of joy at all, the emperor, you never thought that the girl you suppressed by you everywhere back then would also have today.
Only then did the father-in-law clear his throat: "The emperor has a decree, Miss Yuxue will be the first empress merchant of my Xuanyuan Dynasty from today onwards, and a gold medal will be given to mobilize rice merchants across the country." ”
The emperor is really a good calculation, if he receives the gold medal, he will completely obey the emperor's orders in the future, Yu Xue is not so stupid, but gently took the holy decree: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the people are weak, they dare not take the gold medal, and the name of the imperial merchant is deserved." ”
"Miss Yuxue, you have to think clearly, this gold medal can be regarded as a gold medal for avoiding death." Concubine Ning dared to be anxious on the side.
Concubine De just scoffed: "I really have eyes and don't know gold and jade, and I won't ask for great grace." ”
The father-in-law who passed the decree also said: "Miss Yuxue, this is a protest against the decree?" ”
"Father-in-law and go to tell the emperor that Yu Xue has not made meritorious contributions, in order to avoid criticism, he will never dare to accept the gold medal, the emperor loves him, Yu Xue is ashamed and dare not be, and it is not too late to accept the gold medal after making contributions in the future." Yu Xue said lightly, in this way, she did not wipe off the emperor's face, but also left a way back for herself.
The father-in-law shook his head and left, who called the family the first rice merchant of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if he suffers a crime, he doesn't know how he will die in the future.
Not long after her father-in-law left, a little palace maid hurriedly said two words in Concubine Ning's ear, which made Concubine Ning's brows frown tightly: "Everyone, you slowly enjoy the flowers and eat snacks, this snack is sent by the food for the sky, and the palace has left for a while in advance." ”
Yu Xue smiled in her heart, sure enough, someone couldn't hold it back and started to do it, I don't know, this time the object is the lord of Min or the daughter of the right minister.
A female shadow guard brought into the palace by Yu Xue came in and said by her side: "The daughter of the right minister and the guard had an affair in the rest pavilion of the imperial garden, ruining the reputation, Concubine Ning has already gone over to deal with it." ”
Yu Xue looked around, and sure enough, she didn't see the lady of the right minister, presumably, she had already dealt with this matter, Shen Jie, it was quite fast, but in order to avoid suspicion, Shen Jie didn't come to the flower viewing banquet today, which is quite smart.
After a long while, Concubine Ning came in with a solemn face: "Ladies and misses, just now the daughter of the right prime minister's family didn't fall into the imperial river, and now she has gone back to change her clothes, so let's continue." The voice was crisp, and the gloom on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a smile.
A few days later, the daughter of the right minister recruited a guard to come to the door as a son-in-law, which was really a joke after a tea and dinner in the capital, and many people made a very 'high' evaluation of the daughter of the right minister, saying everything. Of course, that's just for another time.
After a cup of tea, Yu Xue only got up and said to Concubine Ning: "Since the holy decree has come down, the folk girl will go back, thank you Concubine Ning for your hospitality today, Concubine Ning, you will have a good reward." ”
Yu Xue walked away, and left a veil of mystery in the hearts of all the young ladies, what kind of character is this Yu Xue girl, the emperor's holy decree can still be received like this, even all the people present are not in their eyes, it is simply empty-eyed.
There are even some more far-sighted and enlightened middle-aged women who have inquired: "Is this Yuxue girl a match?" ”
"Mrs. Huang, do you dare to marry such a woman, you are not afraid of crushing your son, it is not easy to be in charge." Some people laughed at it.
However, Mrs. Huang didn't care at all: "My Huang family, after being a famous general, marrying such a woman and going home will definitely be able to glorify the ancestors." ”
Concubine Ning said lightly: "Miss Yuxue, it's not something that ordinary people can think about. ”
Concubine De also said: "Miss Yuxue has a very good relationship with the six princes, maybe she will be the six princesses in the future, you people are too casual, and you are not afraid of being heard by the six princes." ”
Concubine Ning was disdainful: "Concubine De, you also have to be cautious, the prince is something you can talk about casually, don't ruin the reputation of Miss Yuxue and the reputation of the six princes, and now the court is trying its best to win over Miss Yuxue." ”
De Concubine was speechless for a moment, several times, when the emperor rested in De Concubine's palace, he sighed for this new woman, such an unruly woman with no relatives of unknown origin is indeed difficult to control.
As soon as Yu Xue came out of the palace gate, Xuanyuan Xi was already waiting with a smile: "The first empress in the world, Xiaosheng is polite." ”
Yu Xue beckoned and let Xuanyuan Xi enter the carriage: "Such an imperial businessman, don't do it, presumably in the future, the saint will definitely be a white wolf with empty gloves." ”
The two chatted on the carriage, and as soon as they entered the door, Yu Xue beckoned Xi Nu and Lu Mi into the room, and briefly told them about today's events.
"What kind of person does Shen Qin think she is, there is no good person in the Shen family, I'm angry with me, Miss, you wait, I'll order you to go down, cut off the Shen family's rice grain, and let her kneel in front of you and beg you for mercy." Lu Qi said in a very atmospheric manner that she was originally unhappy with the Shen family, and now, she is even more uncomfortable.
When Xinu heard this, his temper came up again: "Miss, I will order Leng Yemen to create a few cases and frame General Shen's family for collaborating with the enemy." ”
"Xi Nu, that's it, now the border pass still needs General Shen's family to serve, break through the border pass, our Lan clan is the second line of defense, can't." Yu Xue thought for a while, but said: "However, isn't Shen Qin's father the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was arrested in public when he visited a brothel, I don't know what the result will be, you go." ”
"Miss really has a good plan, Xinu will arrange it." Xi Nu happily went down with Lu Mi, originally they were dissatisfied with the Shen family, but now they finally found an excuse to repair it well, and they even said that the young lady is shameless, they just don't want to die.
Xuanyuan Xi looked at the three of their masters and servants like this, and actually sighed: "It's really difficult for women and villains to raise, Miss Yuxue's methods, Xiaosheng can be regarded as knowledgeable, and I hope that the girl will be merciful to Xiaosheng's subordinates." ”
"If you have nothing to do, you go downstairs to drink, it's just nonsense." After Yu Xue drove Xuanyuan Xi away, she felt quite comfortable, and it was good to suppress the Shen family in this way.
In less than a day, the capital immediately issued a ban on rice, and all major families or mansions had to take the waist card of the house to buy rice, and it could not exceed fifty catties in one day, just enough for the people in the house to eat for a day, and the next day, they still used the same method to go.
The Shen family originally had a rice shop, but Lu Mi had already ordered someone to buy all the rice and noodles in the Shen family's shop, but did not supply them, completely cutting off the Shen family's back road.
In this way, five days later, the Shen family already has no rice, and they can't pull their faces to borrow it from major families, and they are even more embarrassed to buy it at home, not to mention, Yu Xue has already given an order, who dares to disobey.
Second Mrs. Shen is Shen Qin's mother, and Shen Jie's aunt, as the head of the house, is desperate, so she pulled down her face and went to Yuwang's Mansion to beg Concubine Shen.
"Concubine Fang, now, our Shen Mansion has raised so many subordinates, it is estimated that in less than two days, the Shen Mansion will run out of food, but how can it be?" Second Lady Shen took Shen Qin and begged bitterly in Concubine Shen's Soft Rain Garden.
"Auntie, don't worry, I still have some rice in Yuwangfu, this time the ban on rice is still powerful, it also takes a lot of trouble to buy rice in our palace, I have already asked, within a radius of three hundred miles, no matter who buys rice, you need to use the token of your own mansion, you will first take Yuwangfu's to respond to emergencies." Shen Jie is also very anxious, after a woman gets married, she relies more on her mother's family, and her mother's family has status, so she is more reliable in her husband's family.
Second Mrs. Shen shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't work, this method is a symptom rather than a cure, how can it be good in the future, it's all this dead girl, I have to offend Miss Yuxue, what can I do now?" ”
"Alas, I have had a relationship with Yuxue who eats for the sky, but my temperament is not easy to ponder, and now it seems that I can only let Sister Shen Qin go to eat for the sky to apologize." Concubine Shen sighed, thinking the same thing in her heart.
Shen Qin pursed her lips: "If I don't go, I won't go, she is a businessman, what is it, she is still a woman, if I apologize, how can I raise my head in the capital in the future, how can I marry a prince, and I can't raise my head when I go to school in the future." ”
Second Mrs. Shen said the same: "Yes, Jie'er, this is not possible, Qin'er is your sister in the end, and she can help you in secret in the future, so it is very inappropriate." ”
Concubine Shen said: "Then what, if you don't apologize, will Yu Xue let go of the Shen Mansion, she is afraid that she has long wanted to govern our Shen Mansion well." ”
"Concubine Side, I heard that Prince Yu is very familiar with Miss Yu Xue, why don't you let the prince go and talk about it, or, this can help our Shen Mansion think of a way, and then say it, Shen Mansion is also the prince's father-in-law." Second Mrs. Shen finally paid a better attention.
"Yes, sister, you can ask your brother-in-law to talk about it, otherwise, Qin'er really won't be on fire." Shen Qin will also use tears to play the family card.
"Then I'll try it, you guys can eat here and then go back, and the prince will be back in a while." Shen Jie beckoned the people in the kitchen to cook.
Originally, the rice noodles of the Shen family were already very precious, and it was a very good thing to eat in Yuwang's Mansion.
However, Xuanyuan Che was drinking in the food for the sky at this time, accompanied by beauties.
"Empress Shang, what a resounding name, but, you are renovating the Shen family with such fanfare, aren't you afraid of outside discussions?" Xuanyuan Che looked playful and looked at Yu Xue with a smile.
