Ming Lanying showed her identity, the shopkeeper of the silver building did not dare to slack off, and even the treasure of the town store was brought up, and the style atlas of three or five books was built up, and she did not dare to be picky in winter and summer, so Ming Lanying drove her to try on jewelry, and she and Hebai picked it for her.

In the end, I picked and chose a set of ruby heads, a set of pure gold heads, and a set of white jade heads, and I also bought more than a dozen boxes of other scattered small jewelry.

Ming Lanying looked at a bunch of jewelry, always felt that there were shortcomings, and clapped her hands, "I bought all the jewelry, and I also bought the clothes and rouge gouache!" ”

Buy, buy, buy, once they buy, they can't stop, the three of them directly swept the cloth villages, ready-to-wear shops and rouge shops in the town, bought things for everyone, and returned to the palace with a full harvest.

Ming Lan Ying said yes, winter and summer couldn't refuse, so she could only be moved to hold Ming Lan Ying straight away.

"Sister-in-law, woo woo woo woo woo you are so good! In the future, I will go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and I will go wherever you say! I'll do whatever you tell me to do! I can practice medicine to save people, and I can harm people with medicine! ”

Ming Lanying looked at her unexpectedly, "Hey, what harms people and doesn't hurt people, if your grandfather hears this, he will say that I have brought you badly!" ”

"Hehe, sister-in-law, don't worry, my grandfather taught me how to make drugs, although it is for self-preservation, but it can also clean up people!"

Ming Lanying treats her sincerely, and Dong Xia can't wait to be good to her.

As soon as the carriage returned home, the subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to help carry the things, and Hebai instructed them to move the things to the courtyards or warehouses respectively, and they were busy distributing the spoils.

"What about Shan Zhao and Ning'er?"

"Shan Gongzi and Xiao Gongzi are playing in the Hundred Beasts Garden."

Ming Lanying nodded when she heard this, handed over these things to Hebai to arrange, and went back to the courtyard to change her clothes.

Zhao Lao looked at the mountains of things in the yard, stroked his beard, squinted and didn't speak, he knew that these were not bought in winter and summer.

Hebai came in with the remaining big bags and small bags, and when he saw Boss Zhao with a face, he immediately put down his things with a hippie smile and patted him on the back.

"Don't be so serious! Winter and summer are going to get married, my sister-in-law is happy and willing! I also bought some things for you, open them and take a look! ”

Zhao Lao glanced at Hebai, "Happy is happy, but the silver is not so squandered, the palace is so big, there are more places to spend silver in the future, and now I can't save the silver lavishly, what will I do in the future?" ”

Hebai scratched her head, she didn't worry about the silver after following Ming Lanying, "My sister-in-law has a good family, and my brother is here, Zhao Lao, you can rest assured!" ”

Old Man Zhao sighed, Ming Lanying was not here, otherwise he would have to talk about her for a while.

Thinking that the fabrics and clothes in front of him were all, but he didn't expect that there were a few boxes of jewelry that had just been moved in later, Zhao Lao's eyes widened and he waved his hand again and again.

"No, no, no! Forget about the rest, how can I even buy so much jewelry! Go back! Go back! ”

"Oops! What do you say, Mr. Zhao! This is all my sister-in-law's heart, you don't want it, but don't wait for my sister-in-law to use her identity to suppress you! ”

Zhao Laomu wanted to say something with a face, but Hebai frowned directly, his hands crossed his waist, with a toughness that could not be refused.

"My sister-in-law bought it for Dong Xia with all her heart, and I bought it all, and Dong Xia can't say anything, you want to return, no way! Zhao Lao, you just keep it, these jewelry are for Dong Xia, not for you, Dong Xia will marry from the palace! There is no pomp at all, others will say that the palace is stingy! ”

Zhao Lao stared at her and bragged, but what Hebai said was right, this was bought for Dong Xia.

With a helpless sigh, he saw two fine red cloth and satin in the cloth, and a box of gold and silver threads.

This is even more sky-high here in Biansai, but it is the most indispensable thing for marrying a daughter's family.

Ordinary people marry daughters, ordinary red cloth is cut at will, and some of the conditions are embroidered with thick threads, which is the wedding dress.

With the money he had saved from his previous visits, he might not be able to buy a complete set of noodles for Dong Xia, let alone two fine red cloth and satin and gold and silver threads.

Old Zhao's figure was a little rickety, and he slowly went to the side on crutches to turn over the medicinal herbs, and Hebai scratched his head, feeling that he was talking too seriously.

"Old Zhao, don't take it to heart, I don't mean anything else, getting married in winter and summer is a happy event, and these things don't cost much silver, don't mind......"

Zhao Lao shook his head, "I don't blame you, you girl is not bad-hearted, I know, it's just a blink of an eye, winter and summer have grown from a little girl to a big girl, fortunately, your sister-in-law and your brother protect her, and now she is married to a good family...... If the Zhao family was still there, these things should have been handled by Dong Xia's father and mother, alas, ......"

It's hard for Hebai to say anything now, Zhao Lao licks the calf deeply, she has no father, no mother, only brother and sister-in-law, she has no heart and no lungs, and she doesn't understand the regret in Zhao Lao's sigh.

There are two subordinates and two maids in the courtyard of the grandparents and grandchildren, both of whom are honest and responsible, and Zhao Lao and Dongxia are quite satisfied.

Ming Lanying thought about the scene of the two maids as a dowry, and Hebai hurriedly stifled her thoughts, "Sister-in-law! Most of the wedding maids are in the back of the room, don't you give winter and summer two troubles! ”

Ming Lanying was reminded and slapped her head, "Look at my bad idea!" Forget it, even if you marry you, the Meng family doesn't have anything to do with people, Aunt Meng is also easy to get along with, and she won't be wronged if she marries in winter and summer. ”

Hebai breathed a sigh of relief, she had seen a lot of dirty things about the maid who accompanied the dowry and finally climbed onto the master's bed, although the Meng family was not like this, but Meng Huaisu's face was not ugly, and if he didn't have a bad mind, he might as well not be a maid.

Hebai was talking to Ming Lanying about what she said and heard about the maid climbing into bed, Ming Lanying listened to it, and the porter came to report that two county officials came to visit the prince with gifts.

"Two county magistrates?" Ming Lanying asked in surprise, "What kind of gift did you bring?" ”

The porter hesitated, "There's a big box and a beautiful woman. ”

Tsurubai sneered, what was in the box was self-evident, "It's only been a long time since I started playing bribery, and I won't inquire about my brother's reputation again!" ”

Ming Lanying clapped her hands, Ye Jielu will have to deal with these corrupt officials sooner or later, since this is the case, it is better to let them relax their vigilance first.

"The prince is not here, this princess will meet him and take him to the side hall of the front yard to wait."

"Yes."

Hebai followed Ming Lanying, "Sister-in-law, don't take his things, if you do, you'll be in the same boat as them!" ”

Ming Lanying straightened the hem of her skirt and walked slowly towards the front yard, "Things have been sent to the door from afar, how can we have no reason not to accept them, but they want to form a gang when they give a gift, what identity is worthy of being in a boat with this princess?" ”

The dog fights the human power Ming Lanying is still good, with such a useful identity as the king of Yanbei, there is no need to use it in vain.

Hebai immediately understood what she meant, "Hey, hey, sister-in-law wants to eat black!" ”

Ming Lanying raised her hand and slapped her, "What kind of black eats black, we are serious people, people are kind enough to give gifts, and it is also a county order, wouldn't it be too bad for us to give people face if we don't accept it, and we must take care of other people's face." ”

"Whew! Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is right. ”

When Ye Jielu came back in the evening, he heard rumors on the street that Princess Yanbei led people to sweep the shop and buy all the way, and it was rumored that Princess Yanbei was a woman who could only spend money extravagantly.

The dark guard came to report that Lan Ying received two county orders today, and received a box of silver and a beauty, and the two county orders came out with a smile on their faces.

Ye Jielu was stunned for a moment, and rode his horse to speed back.

When I got home, I heard a tactful tune from the garden in the front yard, and the subordinate beside me said: "It's a beauty sent by the county order, she can play the pipa and sing a little tune, and the princess thinks it's fresh and accepts it." ”

Walking through the corner verandah, Ye Jielu saw that under the verandah in front, Hebai, Dongxia and Shan Zhao were sitting together, sipping melon seeds with their feet crossed, admiring a beauty playing the pipa and singing songs.

The beauty didn't know how long she had been singing, her voice was a little hoarse, and her singing was not very beautiful, but the three of them watched it with relish.

When the three of them saw that Ye Jielu was back, they greeted each other, the beauty's eyes lit up, and they just wanted to come up and salute, but they were shocked by Shan Zhao's cold eyes, and they stayed in place and didn't know what to do.

"Where's your sister-in-law?"

Dong Xia pointed to the east study, Ye Jielu nodded, and glanced at the pale and fragile beauty before leaving.

"Don't let everyone stay in the mansion, sing so badly and pollute the princess's ears."

Tsurubai answered, "Okay! Got it! ”

The beauty trembled, like a delicate flower that couldn't bear the blow, and looked at Ye Juelu with tears in her eyes.

Ye Jielu turned around and strode away, the beauty just wanted to step forward and speak, but Shan Zhao stopped her way with a side step, and said with a smile.

"The girl's song hasn't been sung yet! Where do you want to go? Didn't your master send you here to sing? We are also the masters of the king's house, and we sing to us as well. The prince said, if you can't sing well, you will go back, but if you sing well, we can still call the shots and let you stay, the song just now is not good, you can change it. ”

The beauty gritted her teeth, she came with a mission, leaving the most important, readjusting her state, clearing her throat and continuing to play and sing.

Ming Lanying was playing with a newly obtained box of silver, and the last one was piled up, Ye Jielu pushed the door in, and her hands shook in fright, and the silver tower fell.

Ming Lanying pursed her lips and looked at him with a complaining look in her eyes.

Ye Juelu: "......"

Ming Lanying swept her arm and casually swept a table of silver into the box at her feet, "Why are you in such a hurry?" The cub can't chase you behind? ”

Ye Jielu gently brought the door to the door, "I heard that someone came to bribe you today." ”

Ming Lanying stretched out a finger and shook it, "It's not to bribe me, it's to bribe you, even the gold, silver and beauties are ready, I will take it for you first, did you see it when you came?" He looks okay and has a good voice. ”

Ye Jielu sighed and replied honestly, "I don't remember, the sound is not good, Hebai is playing with them, and I will throw it back to him when I get tired of playing." ”

Ming Lanying shook her head and regretted, "It's a pity, it's a waste of their efforts." ”

Ye Jielu glanced at a box of silver on the ground, and estimated that there were eight hundred taels, "Isn't the other mind here?" ”

Ming Lanying snorted, "You know what they want, if you want to turn a blind eye, every year they can pay a tribute of 80,000 taels from all over Kyushu." ”

Ye Jielu frowned, Biansai Kyushu, so many county orders, 80,000 taels per person, he could collect a million taels that year, just a few sides, where did they collect so much silver?

These 80,000 taels should be a small amount for them, so it is estimated that the annual allocation of the imperial court is not used for the construction of the people and the city.

Ye Jielu thought of the military expenses calculated in the barracks in the past two days, and the broken border city wall, and he only felt angry in his heart.

"They are not only greedy for the people's fat and people's anointing and court appropriations, but also for military expenses and salaries."

Ming Lanying was stunned, "So greedy? They don't want to die? ”

Ye Jielu's face was gloomy, the troops on the border defended the first line of defense of the country, if they couldn't even guarantee this, what else could they do to protect the country and the people.

"I will report this matter very much, I must clean them up as soon as possible, and spit out all the greedy silver to fill the shortfall."

Ming Lanying glanced at the silver at her feet, and suddenly had a bold idea, "What do you think about using their greedy silver to make a name for us?" ”

"The lady means ......"

Ming Lanying explained softly: "They want to bribe you to turn a blind eye, then let's hold on first, today these two are just a temptation, they bribed it, and someone will come to deliver things later, we will directly open their mouths when the time comes, pressing their bottom line asking price, the more they give, the more satisfied we will pretend to be, and they are in a group." ”

"Then the silver will go and fill the shortfall they have created, and when nothing can be squeezed out......"

Ming Lanying sneered and made a motion to wipe her neck, "At that time, as long as you just make an excuse to raid the house directly, you can hollow out all their belongings!" ”

This move crossed the river and demolished the bridge made Ye Jielu stunned for a moment, and then suddenly approached, and the lightning speed smacked her cheek.

"The lady is smart and has been taught for her husband."

Ming Lanying stepped back violently, blushing and pretending to be calm, "Since you understand, let's do it!" Xiao San is just about to go to the capital to deliver a letter, you write quickly. ”

Ye Jielu smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and responded gently and gently, "Okay." ”

Xiao San sent a lot of letters this time, one volume is for the prince of the palace, one volume is for the queen's mother, and one volume is a secret letter to the emperor.

Seeing Xiao San fly away, a little sparrow finally had a chance to fly to her side and rub it twice.

"Ming Niangzi, you shouldn't leave this time, right?"

Ming Lanying's fingers gently stroked Ma Yi's little head, "Well, I may live here for a long time, Ning'er has rebuilt the nest for you, and you can see it all in the trees in the front yard?" ”

Ma Er jumped over and rubbed her other hand in small steps, "See, it's bigger than the previous nest, it's not your son, and it's also very popular with those four-legged beasts." ”

Ma San flapped his wings twice, "Ming Niangzi, that Song Shanshan's brother seems to have a grudge against your man." ”

Ming Lanying was surprised, the little sparrow was familiar with the original village, and also remembered Song Shanshan's home, Song Shanshan and her did not deal with her before, and the little sparrows also paid attention to her, and later Song Shanshan went to the capital, and the little sparrows would go to Song's house to observe Song Junyi when they had nothing to do.

"What do you hear?"
