Chapter 149: Treat others the way they do
"Me!"
Yue's breath was stuck in his throat and eyes, unable to go up and down, choking with a stuffy pain in his chest.
An Guogong first glanced at her impatiently, and then warned An Yuelidao.
"Alright, don't sell it. What exactly are you trying to say? ”
After teaching the Yue clan a lesson, An Yueli spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bad relationship with Prince Xiao, my father won't know about it, right?"
An Guogong's heart jumped, "I know a little bit, but what does this have to do with borrowing grain?" ”
"Of course it is. When my father asked the prince to borrow food, he declared to the public that you and the prince were in the same boat. From now on, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't give you a good look anymore. She narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Father is ready to stand on the opposite side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
“!!!”
An Guogong came back to his taste after realizing it, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back.
"No, it's not that serious, is it? Just borrowing food ......"
"Borrowing food is just a small thing, but attitude is a big thing."
An Guogong was stared at by An Yueli's powerful eyes, and he actually felt a sense of restlessness.
"So, what can I do? I can't borrow silver grain, and I can't pay to the court! Yueli, you are now Princess Xiao, even if Prince Xiao doesn't help, you will definitely be able to think of a way! ”
Yue's family also followed and said: "Yes, Yueli, although a woman marries and follows her husband, her mother's family is her backing." If your mother's family falls, then what status will you have in the Xiaowang Mansion in the future. ”
"Yes, Yue Yan is right! Yueli, you must not sit idly by. ”
Faced with the moral kidnapping of An Guogong and the Yue clan, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was about to tremble. When their mother and daughter were suffering, An Guogong turned a deaf ear; I need someone to help right now, but I think of them for the first time.
How can there be such a father in the world!
Just when Mrs. Jiang was about to go crazy, An Yueli gently pressed the back of her hand.
"Okay, after all, I'm also a member of the Guogong Mansion. At the moment, my father is in trouble, and I naturally can't stand idly by. Don't worry, I'll go back and explain it to the prince later, and send some money in my name. ”
"Really!?"
"Naturally, take it seriously."
An Guogong didn't expect An Yueli to speak so well, and immediately stroked his palms with joy.
"Okay, well, I really didn't give birth to your daughter in vain! Come on, immediately prepare a carriage for Princess Xiao to return home! ”
……
Coming out of the main courtyard, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her eyes were red.
"Yueli, you shouldn't agree to your father's request, he obviously has the ability to solve it himself!"
"I know."
An Yueli stopped and put one hand around her mother's arm.
"Mother don't have to worry, when have I ever suffered a loss? I did this because I wanted to take the opportunity to stop my father's mouth and do it once and for all. ”
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Jiang's hanging heart gradually fell back to the ground.
"What do you want to do?"
"Nature is to govern others the way they do."
After noon, a team of cars and horses drove out of the Xiaowang Mansion, and dozens of cages covered with red cloth were sent to the Anguo Mansion.
At that time, the street was full of traffic and crowds, and a convoy of such a scale immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, what's that?"
"Whose family is getting married? Look at something like a dowry or something. ”
"Impossible, how can there be no music when married. Besides, the convoy came out of King Xiao's mansion, but I didn't hear that Lord Xiao was going to marry the princess again. ”
Jiang Chen was in charge of escorting the goods, and when he saw more and more behaviors gathered around to see the excitement, he simply showed it to everyone generously.
"Get out of the way, this is the dowry of Princess Xiao when she got married."
"Did you hear that, it's really a dowry!"
"Send the dowry back to her parents' house, is it possible that Princess Xiao has been divorced?"
Smack——!
The long whip whipped in the air, scaring the talkers into silence.
"Presumptuous! Our prince and the princess have a deep affection, how can they be slandered! ”
Jiang Chen held the horsewhip and pointed around in turn.
"You all listened well, there has been a recent drought in Quzhou, and the autumn harvest is weak, and the imperial court has called on the officials and wealthy businessmen to donate grain and silver.
Although our princess was in the inner house, she was also so worried that she couldn't sleep at night after learning about it. Therefore, he deliberately donated all his dowry to alleviate the disaster in Quzhou. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
"It's actually donating silver to Quzhou!"
"I see, it seems that this Princess Xiao is a kind-hearted person."
"Yes, the amount of this dowry determines the status of a woman in her husband's family, and Princess Xiao dares to donate all the dowry, which shows that she trusts Prince Xiao very much. This couple is very affectionate, and they really don't talk nonsense. ”
"Princess Xiao is a good person......"
Following what Jiang Chen said just now, several people who were interspersed among the people took the lead in praising An Yueli, and they controlled the direction of public opinion in an instant.
When the convoy arrived at the Anguo Mansion, both An Guogong and the Yue clan were alarmed by such a big battle.
When they hurried to the scene, the entrance of the mansion was already full of people watching the excitement, and Jiang Chen was standing at the main gate heroically waiting.
"See An Guogong."
An Guogong first recognized Jiang Chen's identity, and then was stopped by a series of carriages and horses.
"These things are all sent by the Xiao Wangfu?"
"Exactly."
An Guogong was ecstatic, "Great, this is really good." Thank you for your generosity! ”
Compared with An Guogong's optimism, Yue's heart was sudden when he saw these things. Just before she could speak, Jiang Chen had already waved his hand and announced loudly to the people around her.
"There is an order from the imperial court that there is a severe drought in the south this summer, resulting in a lack of autumn harvest.
The eldest daughter of the Anguo Mansion married into the Xiao Wangfu half a year ago and became the princess, and today she learned that Quzhou was in trouble, so she sent the original dowry back to her parents' family when she got married, and donated silver together with the Anguo Mansion to fight the disaster. ”
Jiang Chen said without forgetting to take out the dowry list from his sleeve, and put his hands in front of An Guogong.
"Grandpa Guo, take an inventory and see if there is any omission."
An Guogong was stunned by the word dowry, and his smile froze on his face, which looked particularly funny.
"Dowry?"
"Yes, dowry." Jiang Chen paced forward and explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The princess has specially explained that it is not appropriate to use the relationship of Prince Xiao to raise food for you, and after thinking about it, only the dowry as pre-marital property is the most suitable." In this way, even if someone wants to make a fuss, there is nothing to say. ”
After saying that, he forcibly stuffed the list of dowries into the other party's arms.
An Guogong unfolded with the trend, and then felt that his eyes were dark.
Just because most of the dozens of dowries are worthless cotton wool and bedding, and really valuable jewelry and other items are privately detained by the Yue family before going out.
In this way, all the dowries add up, but I am afraid that I will not be able to exchange for a set of jade heads.
