Chapter 20: The Invitation of the Eldest Princess

Back at Xu's house, Xu Jinrou felt tired that night, her head was a little dizzy, and her chest was tingling and itching.

Regarding the various physical symptoms after pregnancy, Xu Jinrou has no memory of the experience of the previous life, because she has never been pregnant since she killed the child in the previous life.

It was for the face of the Great Chu royal family, for the sake of the King of Jin who thought she was dead, and for the sake of the scruples of Liu Rentu, she deliberately drank the kind of medicine to avoid pregnancy, and after a long time, she could no longer conceive, and lost the ability to be a mother, and now it is really stupid to think about it.

When she got up in the morning, she just ate something and started to vomit again, Qingluan made her a bowl of warm ginger tea, and after drinking it, Xu Jinrou felt better.

She ordered Qingluan to prepare a medicine for her, which is colorless and tasteless, and the dosage is small and the effect is fast, which will come in handy today.

This kind of thing is very easy for Qingluan, and it didn't take long for the medicine to be handed over to Xu Jinrou, wrapped and hidden in his sleeve.

Xu Jinrou gave Qingluan ten taels of silver, and told this little girl to go to the city patrol near the yamen to guard, once she saw Wanniang being released, follow her to see where she went with the child.

Yesterday, Qingluan did not take back the silver money Xu Jinrou got from Yuelai Inn, and rewarded her.

Accompanied by Fang Ruo, Xu Jinrou got into the carriage and rushed to the Sansi Yamen.

In the hall where she worked, she met Chen Ruyi, the household envoy.

When Fang Ruo gave Chen Ruyi five hundred taels of silver, the old man's face bloomed with joy, and his white beard trembled.

"Princess, in this way, the household department will have a settlement and a balance next month, and the old minister can be regarded as relieved."

Speaking of this, Chen Ruyi suddenly frowned again, "But what about in the future?" Hey, the minister is still worried, and the princess will have to take precautions for this silver in the future. ”

Xu Jinrou deliberately sighed softly, "Hey, this is a headache, and I can't do anything for a while." Yesterday, the envoy came to me, and he came up with a solution. ”

"I don't know how?" Chen Ruyi's eyes were shining.

"The envoy wants me to sell my mother's Xu Mansion to the Western Barbarians, in exchange for silver money to help the three divisions tide over the difficulties."

"What?" Chen Ruyi stood up on crutches,

"How could Li Sansi have such an idea? Xu Shilang's family shed their blood for my Da Chu, full of loyalty, Mrs. Xu took her female dependents to fight outside the city of Kyoto, and retained the last dignity for my Da Chu, if the Xu Mansion was sold to the Western Barbarians, then the last trace of backbone in the hearts of my Da Chu people will be gone, and I will be able to restore my Da Chu mountains and rivers in the future? Chen Ruyi's crutches kept touching the ground, and his face turned red.

Xu Jinrou's heart warmed, in the previous life, Chen Ruyi fought with Li Sansi and the queen for this matter, and finally got sick in bed and never got up again, Xu Jinrou wanted to let this old man live longer.

"Please sit down, you are so old, don't be in a hurry, I will find a way to do this."

Chen Ruyi calmed down and sat down slowly, "Princess, there is a lot of wasteland outside the city, if Liu Rentu wants to buy it, he will sell more, and he will sell the old minister's mansion as a last resort, although it is not worth much silver, but it is better than selling the princess's mother's house." ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes were a little moist, Chen Ruyi did this in the previous life, but no Western barbarian was willing to buy his house, because his mansion was not in a good location and was a little small.

"Don't worry, your mansion shouldn't be sold, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

After Chen Ruyi left, Li Sansi came.

After sitting down, Li Sansi said cautiously: "Yesterday, the Western barbarian merchant Yue Dapeng said that the princess wanted a little too much silver, and he had to go back to raise it. ”

"This matter will be considered by the princess at her discretion, and the envoy does not have to worry, but after all, when talking about business and doing business, the price needs to be satisfactory to both parties, otherwise it is inevitable that she will not want to talk about it, it has only been a day, and the envoy is anxious." Xu Jinrou's expression was indifferent.

"Ah..., the princess is right, but now that the treasury is empty, the old minister has to be anxious, and besides, it is difficult to find two more people in Kyoto City who can buy Xu Mansion except for Yue Dapeng."

"It's not a day since the treasury is empty, and it's not in a hurry, there are still many people in the entire Xiban who want to buy my Xu Mansion, why are you only staring at the city of Kyoto?"

Li Sansi was a little suspicious, "Oh, didn't the princess hear that there were other buyers?" ”

"The envoys of the four great families of the Western Barbarians have always heard of it, what if they are all interested in buying it?" Xu Jinrou's eyes sparkled.

Li Sansi's face was happy, "Oh, if those four great families are moved, the price will naturally be more than Yue Dapeng." ”

"Therefore, the envoys should not be in a hurry." Xu Jinrou had a smile on her face.

"Hehe, yes, yes, yes, the old minister is in a bit of a hurry." Li Sansi stood up with a smile on his face, "If there is nothing else to do, the old minister will retire first." ”

The people from the Salt and Iron Division also came to report the work, and the Salt and Iron made Lu Fuhu not come back yet, it seems that it is not easy to open up the salt road, but Xu Jinrou knows that Lu Fuhu will definitely be able to do this, this is the case in the previous life, although there are twists and turns, the result is still satisfactory.

After a while, Xu Jinrou arrived today.

With the jingle of ringing, a little maid pushed open the door, and a handsome woman walked in from outside the door.

Wearing a purple mopping and falling flower skirt, covered with satin embroidered butterfly clothes, lined with pink brocade wrapped chest, embroidered with delicate golden butterflies on the cuffs, and tied with a dark jade belt at the waist, it looks more slender, with a piece of psychic jade hanging on the neck, a pair of light-colored butterfly earrings decorated with ears, and a delicate tassel bun on the head.

This woman in full costume is the eldest princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, the biological daughter of the queen, Xu Jinrou's sister-in-law, Song Yuzhi.

Song Yuzhi saw Xu Jinrou sitting in the middle of the room and stroked her chest, "The second sister-in-law finally found you, I went to Xu's Mansion first when I came out of the palace, and when I saw that you were not there, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find you when you left the city." ”

Xu Jinrou got up to greet him, took Song Yuzhi's hand and sat down, "My sister is looking for me like this, but what's the matter?" ”

"Yes, today is the birthday of Mo Siqi, the lord of Anping County, Ximan, she held a banquet at home and invited my daughters from the mansions of Dachu and the palace to participate.

Xu Jinrou's face was puzzled, "Oh, how come I don't know?" ”

"The invitation of the county lord of Anping was sent to the queen mother a few days ago, but the queen mother was busy with things recently and almost forgot about it, so she thought about it today, otherwise it would definitely make Marshal Du unhappy." Song Yuzhi pursed her pink mouth.

After the armistice agreement between Great Chu and Xiban was signed, no more armies were allowed, and the original military duties of the Great Chu State were performed by the Western Barbarian Army.

Liu Rentu was the prison of Da Chu, administrative law enforcement, arresting thieves and thieves, and the affairs of lawsuits and prisons were all managed by the prison government, but the military power was no longer Liu Jianguo's.

Xiban set up a soldier and horse command department in Dachu, and the highest leadership position of the command department was Marshal Du, which was held by Mo Zhenshan, the king of Zhennan of Xiban State, and Marshal Mo Zhenshan only obeyed the command of the Xiban Emperor, and Liu Rentu performed his own duties, and no one could control anyone.

Mo Siqi, the county lord of Anping, is the youngest daughter of Marshal Mo Zhenshan, and today is her seventeenth birthday.

Mo Siqi is beautiful, but she has not yet been married, and her marriage is Mo Zhenshan's anxiety, because her baby daughter fell in love with Liu Rentu.

But if his daughter marries Liu Rentu, his position as the marshal of the capital will come to an end, and it is impossible for the Xiban Emperor to let the Liu Jian State marry the marshal of the capital, otherwise the Great Chu State will have the foundation to dominate one side, how could the Xiban Emperor let this happen.

Today, Mo Siqi, the county lord of Anping, did not invite Xu Jinrou at all, Liu Rentu is the man she likes, the scandal between Xu Jinrou and Liu Rentu is known to the world, how could she invite this princess of Jin, her rival in love, to the birthday banquet to add to her blockage?

It was Song Yuzhi's own idea to want Xu Jinrou to go to the Marshal's Mansion for a banquet, and she wanted her second sister-in-law, Princess Jin, to be embarrassed.

Song Yuzhi is the same age as Xu Jinrou this year, but she is only a few months younger, she has already made a marriage, but before she has passed the door, her husband died on the battlefield, and she is still in the boudoir.

Song Yuzhi also likes Liu Rentu, and it has reached the level of obsession, in order to get the favor of Liu Rentu, she is jealous of the relationship between Xu Jinrou and Liu Rentu, Xu Jinrou only learned about it later in the previous life.

Today, Song Yuzhi deliberately asked Xu Jinrou to accompany her to the birthday banquet of the county lord of Anping, just to humiliate her, but she didn't know it in the previous life.

This day has almost become a nightmare for Xu Jinrou's life, she was bullied, humiliated, and ashamed of herself, and almost broke herself off for it.

"I'm busy here, why doesn't my sister let my sister-in-law accompany you, why do you have to find it so hard?" Xu Jinrou asked pretending to be concerned.

"How can my sister-in-law accompany me to the banquet when she eats fast and recites Buddha, but the third sister-in-law can, but I heard that she hasn't come back since she left the palace last night, and I don't know where I went, so my mother won't let me inquire." Song Yuzhi's words did not lie.

It is not a glorious thing to force Princess Zhao to go to Wen Jing's bed in Liu Rentu, and Xiang ordered the queen that everyone must be tight-lipped about this matter, and few people know the inside story.

Princess Zhao didn't return to the palace, Xu Jinrou couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Could it be that she is still useful, so Liu Rentu didn't let her go back to the palace?

Or is Liu Rentu holding back some bad intentions? But it shouldn't be that Princess Zhao will be allowed to go to bed with him, after all, he has humiliated her like that, and he will also dislike her for being unclean.

"The second sister-in-law will accompany me, I rarely ask you." Song Yuzhi shook Xu Jinrou's hand and began to sprinkle Jiao.

Today, we must take this opportunity to humiliate Xu Jinrou, and it is good to force her to commit suicide, Song Yuzhi made up his mind.

Xu Jinrou patted Song Yuzhi's hand gently, "Okay, the second sister-in-law will accompany you." ”

Song Yuzhi smiled brightly.

Xu Jinrou quietly touched the laxative hidden in her sleeve, she wanted to turn today into their nightmare.
