Chapter 18: Reversal!
At the end of the high-level reception of the envoys of the neighboring countries of the Daye Kingdom, everyone returned to Yaju Xiaozhu to rest after a day of overall dispatch.
Yaju Xiaozhu is her residence on the highest floor of the Red Mansion Boat Boat, and the spaciousness is comparable to the largest Tianzi room in the Red Mansion. The sound of the piano is lingering, and the tea room is fragrant. In addition to the necessary bedrooms and study rooms, there is also a reception courtyard with an excellent view.
At this moment, in the guest court, there have been some famous singing and dancing girls in the royal capital, including Wang Ruirui, Zhao Xinxin, Jiang Zhaozhao, and Lu Yaer and other famous girls. gathered in one place, talking about the reception of foreign envoys in the previous reception, as well as some famous first-line aristocratic ministers in the royal capital, but those who can enter the scope of everyone's discussion are not only some aristocratic ministers in the royal capital who have recently been appreciated by His Majesty in the deep palace, but also a few noble sons who are handsome or have more and more outstanding cultivation qualifications.
Talking about the rise, everyone has different opinions, these famous singers and dancers who are sought after and admired by many people in Shanglin have also broken a little reserved at this moment.
After the maids who came and went poured tea for several women, and heard them talk about the various actions of a certain talent, the girl's heart was naturally overflowing, and she couldn't help but retreat with a slight red cheek.
At this high-level diplomatic reception banquet of Daye Kingdom, the Yu family, who was extremely elegant and admired by people, was dressed in red, accompanied by two maids.
All the famous concubines immediately stood up and bowed slightly. After every large-scale event hosted by the Red Mansion, this is a routine tea party. It's just that there are not many people who can participate in such a tea party in the Yaju Xiaozhu of the Yu family, and in the entire Red Mansion, there are not many people who are qualified.
Yu Xiaoxiao tasted tea lightly, and in the face of well-behaved celebrities, she talked and laughed. Occasionally, the place of rise is mentioned, and the chuckle of the warbler and the swallow language continues. Happiness knows no bounds.
All the women can analyze it from this atmosphere, after the reception of the envoys in the Red Mansion, it is reported that His Majesty in the palace of Shanglin is quite satisfied, and seeing the expressions of everyone Yu, they have naturally been rewarded by the Son of Heaven through certain channels. It also made the women secretly heartbroken, even if some people were ambitious, they also understood that waiting for more than ten or twenty years would not be able to replace the status of the Yu family in the royal capital Shanglin. It seems that anything in front of her seems to be able to be resolved by her long-sleeved dance, and between her smiles, mastered.
And this time, in addition to chatting with the famous ladies to commend their achievements, Yu Xiaoxiao occasionally looked towards the door of the guest court from time to time, which made all the women a little silent, knowing that everyone Yu was probably still waiting for some information that made her interested.
Yaju Xiaozhu door knocked gently, and a plain-clothed woman appeared at the door of the courtyard, the woman was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, and it was the closest and most favored assistant around Yu's family, named Xiaobi. Usually sharp teeth.,Quite smart.。 In private, the women also joked about her, saying that if she grew up a little longer, she didn't know how many princes and princes she would charm, which often made Xiaobi's face red and red. At that time, Yang Ze entered the Red Mansion, and she also led the way, and she couldn't help but sarcastically mock Yang Ze on the way.
At this moment, the girl was standing at the door, with a puffed face as if she had been wronged, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to speak.
Yu Xiaoxiao saw her come in, but she didn't notice her expression, so she naturally beckoned her to come over, and the corners of her mouth rose, "Oh, Xiaobi is back, how can the uneducated and unskilled son of the Qichun Marquis Mansion respond to his question of arrears? Could it be that I still have to personally invite Mrs. Cheng to discuss the problem of disciplining this stubborn third son, since he showed the backbone of being willing to bend in my Red Mansion like a man, then he naturally has to know such consequences and responsibilities, I hope he still has such a backbone to give me an explanation!"
As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao's words came out, everyone around him immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter. Caused a burst of laughter.
Yang Ze, the third son of the famous waste wood in the Hou Mansion, scratched the ground in the Red Mansion, but he didn't know that he showed arrogance, but he also suffered in vain, and asked Yu to send him a letter of compensation. The sisters of the Red Chamber are going to laugh at this. It seems that Xiaobi went on a business trip this time, and he went to the Shanghou Mansion to ask for more than 100 gold pounds.
More than 100 gold pounds may not be a big deal for these famous concubines who are said to be in the gold fight. However, it is also a year's salary for the middle-level staff of the Red Mansion. For some new women who are practicing dance and singing skills and waiting to get ahead one day, it is enough money to settle down in the future. Even for some third-tier aristocratic officials in the royal capital, it is a sum of money that cannot be ignored.
And for the third family of the family who has always been in the middle of the family in the Qichun Marquis Mansion, everyone knows that this money is by no means something that Yang Ze, who has not passed the Chengren crown ceremony and has no food, can take it. Even for his father, Yang Hongyuan, I am afraid that it is an expense that can empty his savings.
Yu's move is really an even worse pressure.
"Yang Ze, the third son of the Hou Mansion who didn't even have the Chengren Guanli?" The famous singer named Zhao Xinxin smiled crisply in her tactful voice, "Even if his small body is hard, everyone Yu can bend his hard part with a light finger!"
Everyone Yu laughed and scolded, "Have you been lonely for too long, you little hooves should let Jiang Zhaozhao go back and beat your ass!" caused a burst of Yingyan laughter.
Among the people, Wang Ruirui, who was the most calm and elegant, said with a smile, "I heard that Yang Hongyuan's family in Qichunhou's Mansion is not in charge of the property in Qichunhou because they are not liked by Qichunhou. If the problem of the inability to repay the arrears of the Red Mansion is transmitted to the mansion, this Yang Ze may have to cause an uproar in the mansion. The flat ground added another burden to his parents. If I were the noble daughter of the Dong Sima family, I wouldn't need him to take the initiative to draw his sword to show the boundary. Naturally, I would tell him to be clear. By the way, a slap woke him up, it is not easy for parents to raise children, I hope he will not add to the burden of his family anymore!"
With these remarks, the women immediately giggled and laughed, and said, "Wang Ruirui, of course you don't look down on Yang Xiaoze's son, the prince of Zhenguo is dignified, heroic, and a cultivator of artistic conception, and he is constantly pursuing the offensive against you, just a down-and-out prince of Qi Chunhou, how can you ever put it in your eyes, but a slap is too ruthless, in the end, that Yang Ze has clear eyebrows, are you really willing to slap it?"
There was a lot of discussion between the women, which obviously made Yu Xiaoxiao feel better, and she waved her hand, blocking the endless discussion of words among the women, and at this time she saw a wooden box in the hand of the maid Xiaobi trembling, which seemed to be the box she sent the brocade bill last time. Beckoned Xiaobi over.
Seeing Xiaobi holding the box and stepping forward, there was a woman's laughter along the road, "Maybe, Xiaobi who went to ask for the debt has already slapped you on your behalf." ”
Xiaobi's expression was extremely ugly, and she walked forward tempoally, "Yu everyone and me"
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned, and gathered her eyebrows with some anger, "It's not that Yang Ze who embarrassed you, I was kind enough to give him some face, let you go and ask him to ask, and also give him a wake-up call, and next time I will find his father Yang Hongyuan or the Hou Mansion to go up." Could it be that he still dares to be disrespectful to you?"
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, looked at each other and was surprised, they didn't expect this Yang Ze's temper to reach such a point, he didn't even buy Yu's warning, this is not some kind of arrogance, this is simply not seeing the coffin and not shedding tears, thinking that his identity as the son of the world can still hold Yu everyone hostage?
"He did say that he was disrespectful to me, and he also said that I dare not say it, everyone Yu. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes stared, staring at Xiaobi, and her brows furrowed, "You tell the truth!"
Xiao Bi's tears were wrapped in her eyes, she almost wanted to fall, and said tremblingly, "He said, he said you, is it that the Red Mansion can't be turned, and he is crazy to find him to force the account, he immediately boxed the gold pounds for me, and gave me ten more gold pounds, saying yes, saying what kind of 'tip' he deceived people too much!
In a jaw-dropping silence, Xiaobi put the wooden box in her hand on the table in front of Yu Xiaoxiao, the lid of the wooden box was opened, and there were golden pounds lying neatly inside.
Yu Xiaoxiao recovered from the shock for a long time, glanced at the dazzling wooden box on the table, then shrank his eyes, and said angrily, "How can there be a hundred and fifty gold pounds here?"
Xiaobi finally couldn't help it, biting her lip, tears overflowed, and said hatefully, "He said that he doesn't need you to pardon the previous thirty gold pounds, as for the extra twenty coins, it is the interest paid to the Red Mansion."
"What!?" Rao is Yu Xiaoxiao, who was calm on the occasion of Daye's diplomatic reception, rose from his seat at this moment, his eyes were round, and a cold breath drilled into his chest.
Many famous concubines around him almost fell.
This Yang Ze not only did not take the pardon of the 30 gold pounds of the Yu family in his eyes, but also repaid the original amount of the arrears of 130 gold pounds, which was equivalent to adding an additional 20 gold pounds like a slap in the face, which is called "interest". In the face of such a counterattack that I don't know if it's the young man's madness or the fierceness, I don't know if it's better to smile or cry now.
