The queen's eyes scanned the box behind the screen in amazement, "Jinrou, this is... What? ”

Xu Jinrou looked respectful, "The total amount in the box is 20,000 taels of silver, which is the concubine's filial piety to her mother." ”

The queen's eyes widened, "Twenty thousand taels of silver? Be... Where did it come from? ”

"After the mother, the guinea fowl sold the silver, and the concubines were also given a dividend, a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and the first got 20,000 taels of silver, and the rest still need to be asked for back."

The surprise on the queen's face couldn't be suppressed, "Jinrou, you are the first merit, and it is really the most correct choice for the mourning family to make you the third envoy." ”

"It's a great honor to have the queen mother's trust and concubine, and you can bring this silver to the palace later."

The queen was very excited, "Jinrou, in this way, the urgent need for the lack of silver in the palace is solved." ”

"That's what a concubine should do, but... Is there anything else that the concubine is missing? ”

"If you have anything to say, just tell the mourners."

"Since the queen mother knows that the concubine is selling her mother's mansion, why should she give the title at this time? In this way, the concubine was going to negotiate the sale of the previous work in vain. ”

The queen groaned slightly, "Well..., Yuwen Zongheng, the son of the Western Barbarians, wants to pay tribute to the souls of the two countries who died due to the war, and the mourning family thought of the loyalty of your Xu Mansion, and thought of the many hardships that Jinrou has paid for the truce between the two countries. ”

Xu Jinrou stood up, "The concubine thanked the queen for my Xu family for the deceased soul of Da Chu." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed in the queen's eyes, "This is what the mourning family should do, Jinrou hurry up, you are pregnant now, my Song royal blood and bones, but don't have a mistake, let's go back to the palace to raise the baby in the near future, and the mourning family will send someone to serve you wholeheartedly." ”

Xu Jinrou's face was hesitant, "The concubine also thinks so, but now that I am in short supply of salt, I am taking precautions, and the concubine is trying to find a way to open up the salt road, this matter cannot be delayed, and the 30,000 taels of silver obtained from selling chickens also have to find a way to ask for it back, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

The queen got the silver, obviously in a smooth mood, and everything was easy to talk about, "So it's hard for the daughter-in-law, and you must be careful of the child in your womb when you are busy." ”

Xu Jinrou bowed, "Yes, the concubine remembers the teachings of the queen mother, um... In order to open up the salt road, it needs to spend a lot of silver, and the concubine plans to ask for some silver taels back, and distribute them to the three divisions and departments, and only by gradually increasing the tax revenue of Dachu is the long-term solution to the shortage of silver taels. ”

The queen did not hesitate at all this time, "It should be so, as long as there is no shortage of silver taels in the palace, you can make your own decisions as the third envoy." ”

After sending the queen away, Fang Ruo pursed her lips, "The queen is so reasonable, and there are not many times when she readily agrees to the princess's proposal." ”

Xu Jinrou sneered, "The queen is just for the sake of silver, but no matter how good she says now, if the palace is useless, it will definitely be faster than turning a book, and the rabbit and dog cooking are not enough for her to do." ”

After the award, Liu Rentu and Xiao Tianze did not stay in Xu's Mansion for too long, they said goodbye to Xu Jinrou and left.

When Xiao Tianze was leaving, he still invited Xu Jinrou to the banquet to make up for the last housewarming banquet, Xu Jinrou smiled very softly, and said that he would definitely go if he was in better health.

Liu Rentu told Xu Jinrou that he was going on a business trip, leaving Kyoto City for a few days, and when he returned, he would send Ye Kai to inform her and ask her to take care of her health.

Xu Beiyu, Xu Qingxuan, and Xu Beinian left one after another.

Aunt Xue also took Xu Yichuan to say goodbye, Xu Jinrou remembered some things in her previous life, although she was busy and a little tired, but she still left the mother and son behind, wanting to talk to them about something.

Fang Ruo served tea to Aunt Xue and Xu Yichuan, and Qingluan also brought Xu Jinrou golden cherry blossom honey tea, which Qiao Jieyu specially made for her.

This tea is more complicated to make, you need to take an appropriate amount of golden cherry seeds to wash, add water to decoction and then take the juice, then add water to decoction, so repeat four times, mix the four decoction juices, continue to fry until thick, add honey and mix well, and only after cooling.

Qingluan said that this tea can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the fetus, and the princess walks around every day, and often drinks this tea to stabilize the fetal gas, and there is no worry about miscarriage.

With Qingluan's care, Xu Jinrou felt that her physical condition was much better than when she was pregnant, and her waist was not so painful.

She was just about to chat with Aunt Xue and Xu Yichuan, when suddenly there was a commotion outside Xu's mansion, and the sound of commotion came into the mansion.

Xu Jinrou frowned, "Fangruo, haven't the people gathered outside the mansion dispersed yet?"

Fang Ruo was also a little puzzled, "Princess, the slave maid has just gone to see it, the people outside the mansion are scattering, and the officials of the City Patrol Division have already withdrawn." ”

Footsteps sounded, and Xu Zhong hurriedly walked in, "Princess, there is a woman kneeling outside the door of the mansion, and there is a corpse beside her, saying that there is a grievance, please Princess Jin to call the shots." ”

Fang Ruo frowned, "If you have a grievance, you should go to the City Patrol Division or the Prison Mansion, why did you come to our Xu Mansion?" ”

Since the truce between the two countries, the local governments of Dachu are only responsible for local administrative affairs, and the criminal department and Dali Temple have all been abolished.

All cases involved or any grievances are handled by the city patrol divisions stationed in various places in the Xiban.

The deputy historians of the City Patrol Division are all people from the Great Chu Criminal Department, and they accept the case, and then the chief officer of the City Patrol Division is from Ximan.

The highest adjudication body is the Jianguo Mansion, and if you are not satisfied with the disposition of the City Patrol Division, you can report to the Council Hall of the Jianguo Mansion, which is composed of officials from the Western Barbarians and the former Dali Temple of Dachu.

Disputed cases are referred to the superintendent, the council, and the city patrol department for tripartite trial, and the superintendent finally decides the outcome of the trial.

Xu Zhong looked at Xu Yichuan, "That woman said that it was Xu Ye who forced her daughter to death. ”

Xu Yichuan's face changed suddenly, and Aunt Xue raised her eyebrows,

"Where did it come from, Xu Mansion dared to come to stir up trouble on such a good day, Jinrou, I don't dare to bother you with this matter, let my aunt deal with it."

Xu Yichuan stood up, "Mother, let's let my son deal with it, after all, it's because of me that caused trouble." ”

Xu Jinrou remained silent, "Okay, no matter how dare you do it, my cousin is still a man, auntie, since this matter started because of my cousin, let him deal with it, and my aunt and I will see the result." ”

Originally, Xu Jinrou left Xu Yichuan for his affair, but she didn't encounter this matter in the previous life, but she heard about it, but she was busy with the affairs of the three divisions and the palace and didn't take care of it, which turned out to be a big disaster.

The local young talents of Dachu have all gone to Ximan, and most of the young people who come to Dachu to do business in Xiban are basically over 20 years old, and there are already more families.

Xu Yichuan is not only young but also handsome, he is the cousin of the princess of Dachu Jin, and he was personally named and cared for by the Ximan Liu Jianguo, because of these reasons, Xu Yichuan naturally won the favor of many young girls in Dachu.

Which young man is not affectionate, which girl is not pregnant with spring, Xu Yichuan has done a lot of romantic things, but he is addicted to it and never tired of it, and does not give any female name.

Some girls had a fetus for him, some girls didn't think about it until they became insane, and some even went to extremes and found a short-term vision.

Aunt Xue indulged in this only son, and mentioned Princess Jin in everything, and mentioned Liu Jianguo in everything, so Xu Yichuan became even more unscrupulous.

As long as the girl is single in this kind of thing, you and I are willing to do it at the beginning, and Xu Yichuan is the cousin of Princess Jin, so no yamen will care about this kind of thing.

Therefore, Xu Yichuan was a little carried away, his lust was getting heavier and heavier, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger.

There was a girl who was abandoned by him to find a short-sighted girl, and the family set up a plan for revenge.

Let the girl's already married sister deliberately seduce him, and then be discovered by his husband.

The husband's family is a Western barbarian, and he caught Xu Yichuan, not only beat him half to death, but also cut off his man's tool for crime, but in the end, for the sake of being the cousin of the princess of Jin, he was sent to save his life, but he has since become a eunuch.

This incident was Xu Yichuan's mistake first, and later, although Princess Jin came forward, the other party only lost money, and it didn't take long for Xu Yichuan to die of depression.

Xu Jinrou left Aunt Xue's mother and son today, originally to remind her of this matter, but she was found at the door.

Xu Yichuan walked out of the mansion with a gloomy face, a woman and two men kneeling outside the mansion gate, and a rolled up straw mat was placed on the ground.

The woman cried at the door, "I beg the princess of Jin to call the shots, my poor daughter's death is unjust, the death is miserable, it is the Xu Yichuan who killed a thousand knives, he has always given up, and it doesn't matter if he enlarges my daughter's belly, the three old and four young people who have passed by, you can give a comment." ”

At this time, another woman came over and knelt in front of Xu's house, "My poor daughter was also harmed by Xu Yichuan, and she had a child with him, but she had to give birth, and she died in childbirth." …”

When there was a burst of crying at the door, Xu Yichuan walked out of the mansion, but he looked calm, "Today is the day when my Xu family is enthroned by the emperors of the Great Chu and the Western Barbarians, what do you want to make noise here?" ”

The first woman cried loudly, "Xu Yichuan, if you don't want my daughter, just make it clear to her, you caused her to die a tragic death, one corpse and two lives, do you still have a conscience?" ”

The second woman pointed at Xu Yichuan, "You look like a dog, but you don't do anything, you give my daughter's life back." ”

Xu Yichuan snorted coldly, "Without my Xu family's entire mansion going to death, without my cousin Princess Jin risking her life to block the Western Barbarian army and outside Kyoto City, would you still have your life?" I just slept with your daughter and I willingly, and I didn't force it, so entangled, do you have a conscience about the Xu family? ”

Xu Jinrou and Aunt Xue were both watching and listening in the mansion.

Aunt Xue didn't notice a hint of coldness flashing in Xu Jinrou's eyes, and there was a smug look on her face,

"Jinrou, seeing that your cousin's speech is reasonable, his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not impatient or impatient, he will definitely have a future in the future, and you need a lot of help as a cousin."

Xu Jinrou snorted lightly, "Cousin will be promising." ”

The first woman looked behind Xu Yichuan, "We want to see Princess Jin, she is the benefactor of our people in Dachu, if she says that this matter is over, then we will admit it, and it will be regarded as my daughter's death for the country and the people." ”

At this time, Fang Ruo helped Xu Jinrou out of the house, "How can this matter be settled?" ”
