Chapter 263: Hiring
Hua Rong followed Jiang Yunhua and walked out, but met Mrs. Huo halfway.
Mrs. Huo has always regarded herself as a relative of the emperor and the country, and she has also had a lot of status in front of these ladies of Hanjing over the years, and she never thought that someone would dare to take her away forcibly with an official messenger.
Although she had the intention to take revenge on Hua Rong, those things were all done by the people below, she didn't even show her face, this kid from Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion was really arrogant!
Mrs. Huo's face was very bad, and when she saw Jiang Yunhua walking out with a flower face, she immediately sneered: "I heard that the queen mother is extra kind to let the county lord go out of the palace and stand on her own, the county lord is not good at self-reliance and self-improvement, and set an example for the Zhaoling women, but she ran to the night patrol division and Jiang Tingwei to walk so close, how can she be worthy of the queen's good intentions." β
Mrs. Huo gave the Queen Mother a message to let Hua Rong come out and stand on her own, just to see Hua Rong entangled with other men, she used secular etiquette to take revenge on Hua Rong, and after saying this, she was in a much better mood.
However, as soon as Mrs. Huo's words fell, Wei Yingchen walked in from outside.
"My fiancΓ©e came to the yamen to cooperate with the government in investigating the case, she obviously kept a distance from Jiang Tingwei, which eye did Mrs. Huo see that they were getting closer?"
Wei Yingchen still said that Hua Rong was his fiancΓ©e, and after speaking, he walked to Hua Rong's side, and showed with his actions that the Wei family recognized Hua Rong as a daughter-in-law, and he still wanted to support Hua Rong.
Mrs. Huo's face was difficult to look at, she looked at Wei Yingchen and Jiang Yunhua again, she didn't understand where the flowers were good, and she let these two men scramble to help her out.
"Yingchen, your time in Hanjing is still short, and you don't know a lot of things, she ......"
Mrs. Huo wanted to provoke the relationship between Huarong and the Wei family, but was interrupted by Wei Yingchen before she finished speaking: "I don't need Mrs. Huo to intervene in my affairs, Mrs. Huo should think about how to explain her own affairs for a while." β
When he said this, Wei Yingchen had a smile in his eyes, as if he had long known that Mrs. Huo was playing a little trick behind her back.
Mrs. Huo was inexplicably uneasy in her heart, and wanted to ask, but Wei Yingchen had already left with Huarong.
At this time, Jiang Yunhua's cold voice came from his ears: "Mrs. Huo, please." β
Mrs. Huo clenched the silk handkerchief and tried to keep her composure: "My husband is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, I am the official wife of the fifth grade, and Jiang Tingwei is an official position of the fifth grade, and he is not qualified to interrogate me!" β
"This official is asking Mrs. Huo to explain some things at the behest of His Majesty, doesn't Mrs. Huo want to see Your Majesty in person?"
Mrs. Huo's eyes widened slightly, and her expression cracked.
She thought that today's events were all Jiang Yunqiao's wanton actions, but she didn't expect that there was His Majesty's will behind it.
Cold sweat broke out on her back, and Mrs. Huo followed Jiang Yunhua into the interrogation room.
Mrs. Huo had already thought about how to get rid of the relationship between the Huo family and the gambler, but the first thing Jiang Yunhua asked was: "Five years ago, Huo Guozhang was 60 years old, and the prince rebuilt the ancestral hall for the Huo family in his personal name, which cost more than 50,000 taels of gold, which was 30,000 taels more than the previous reconstruction of Yunshan Temple, where did all this money go?" β
The treasury has been empty for a long time, and all the families have made a lot of money from it, if it was before, 30,000 taels of gold was nothing at all, but now that the prince is imprisoned, once it is traced, it is the crime of stealing the country.
Fang Cai's uneasiness came to her mind again, and Mrs. Huo said in a low voice: "I'm just a backhouse woman, I don't know these things. β
The heart of these words is weak, and Mrs. Huo has lost the momentum of ridiculing Hua Rong before.
Jiang Yunhua listed a few more accounts, Mrs. Huo was the same statement, and finally Jiang Yunhua said: "Yesterday, a person named Wang Qingyun was still wandering in the city after the curfew, and was shot by the officers and soldiers on patrol, we found out that he had something to do with the previous thief, and it happened that Mrs. Huo sent someone to give him a large sum of money not long ago, didn't Huo Jiamo want to help the prince make waves again?" β
"The Huo family is loyal to His Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"
This crime is too big, not to mention Mrs. Huo, even the entire Huo family can't afford it.
Mrs. Huo's face was so angry that her face turned pale, Jiang Yunqi was unmoved, and said quietly: "No one will admit that they have committed the crime of rebellion, and the noisy and noisy ones have lost their identity, so Mrs. Huo might as well tell me why she sent someone to give a gambler money to spend." β
Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth and finally realized that she had kicked an iron plate.
The two young masters of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion have been on the battlefield, they have brains and cities, and they are not as easy to handle as her son's sloppy bag, she calculated them when she calculated Huarong, if she didn't answer well, the entire Huo family would suffer!
ββ
Wei Yingchen sent Huarong home.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Hua Rong saw two teams of followers standing neatly outside the gate of the mansion, and there were more than 20 large boxes tied with red silk on the ground.
Hua Rong looked at Wei Yingchen in surprise, Wei Yingchen raised his hand, and the best matchmaker in the city took the gift list to Hua Rong: "County Lord, these are the dowry gifts prepared for you by the prince, if the county lord is not satisfied, you can mention it." β
Hua Rong didn't come back, Tie Dog and Erhu didn't recognize Wei Yingchen, and they didn't let them in, so Wei Yingchen took the opportunity to put things outside, so that the onlookers could see enough.
The gift list is full of priceless good things, Hua Rong originally thought that the Wei family should be greatly injured in this turmoil, but now that she looks at it, the financial resources shown by the Wei family are only the tip of the iceberg.
It's just that the queen's front foot allowed Hua Rong to leave the palace to stand on her own, and Wei Yingchen's back foot came to propose marriage in such a high-profile manner, which is obviously not wanting to give the dowry to the royal family?
Hua Rong couldn't guess Wei Yingchen's plan, but still asked Iron Dog and Erhu to open the door and let them move everything in.
In order to earn the reward, the matchmaker praised Hua Rong and Wei Yingchen loudly, as if it would be intolerable if the two were not together.
Hua Rong has not been praised like this, a little uncomfortable, Wei Yingchen is very calm, happy to hear it, with a wave of his hand, he rewarded a gold ingot and sent the matchmaker away.
When he entered the mansion, Hua Rong pulled Wei Yingchen to a no-man's corner and asked, "Does the prince really want to marry me?" β
"The most important thing for a businessman is to keep his promises, you and I have a marriage contract, so we should naturally fulfill it, if the Wei family is treacherous because the county lord does not have the support of his parents, who will dare to do business with the Wei family in the future?"
Wei Yingchen said righteous words, as if everyone in the world was looking forward to him marrying her.
Hua Rong couldn't guess what Wei Yingchen was planning for a while, and heard Wei Yingchen say: "I know you don't like me yet, but feelings can be cultivated, and after a long time, you can always see my sincerity." β
Wei Yingchen said sincerely and seriously, even Hua Rong had the illusion of being deeply loved.
The news of the dowry sent by the Wei family soon spread in Hanjing.
Early in the morning of the second day, the queen sent someone to summon Hua Rong.
Hua Rong released Yuebai from the firewood room and brought it into the palace with Yueqing.
