Chapter 117: The beauty of not caring about the life and death of others
Jiang Fu not only paid on credit, but also used the Chen family's ancestral house as a mortgage.
In other words, if Chen Shilang can't pay the money, the house they live in now will be taken away by the creditor.
It's really a report and a report, when Chen Shilang drove the couple away, I am afraid that I never dreamed that I would face homelessness one day.
Jiang Fu has lived in the Chen family for so long, and the house has arranged a lot of her own people, and as soon as Chen Shilang's front foot was called for debts, she received the news on the back foot.
"Poof, it's really happy, that old thing is so majestic when it spends money, it's just a junior of the same clan, no one gave a red envelope with ten taels of silver, it's really carried away.
He thought that it was all his wife's money, and he didn't feel distressed at all, but now that the whip was on himself, he didn't feel bad to death! It's a pity that I can't see his pain with my own eyes. ”
My Lady stood aside with the fruit, and her tone was gloating unconcealedly.
Jiang Fu looked at the account book that had just been handed in this quarter, and the large list of profits on it made her eyebrows crooked, and when she heard my aunt's words, she smiled and glanced at it.
"Everyone on the mouth, don't let others hear this, or it will reach my uncle's ears, and I think I can't see the Chen family."
I can't see it, but Chen Jian'an is still of great use to himself, so he naturally has to do enough face.
On the other side of the Chen family, Chen Shilang looked at the account book with a whole capital letter.
He anxiously checked the accounts one by one, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
"It's just a few pieces of crab roe cake, how can it be worth dozens of taels of silver? And this one, why is the candle burning expenditure this winter more than three times more than in previous years? It must be that woman Jiang Fu falsely reported the accounts, I'm afraid that all this money has gone into her own pocket! ”
Chen Shilang slapped the ledger in his hand on the table fiercely, and said hatefully.
The housekeeper on the side lowered his head and said:
"Master, you forgot, on the day of the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, you knew that the patriarch loved to eat crabs, and specially asked the second lady to replace everyone's snacks with crab powder.
Crabs are expensive in winter, and the second lady has persuaded you that the cost is too great.
And that candle, which you personally ordered not to turn off the lights at night in the house before fifteen years, and to burn it night after night, isn't it too much·······"
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Shilang's blushing face.
"Enough!"
Didn't he also make his own calculations at the beginning!
One is that he can enjoy these delicacies and compliments without spending a penny, and the other is that outsiders think that the Chen family has only started to be extravagant and wasteful after Jiang Fu married in, and some people will condemn the Jiang family's extravagance to bring it to her in-law's family.
But she never expected that she would dare to pose herself!
At present, the remaining silver of the Chen family is less than one-tenth of the repayment of the account book, and most of the things in the account book have been exchanged for gifts and given away by themselves, and they can't ask for it back with a shy old face.
With some difficulty, he commanded:
"Let's redeem all the shops in our city, and then see how much fertile land there is on the outskirts of our city? Find a buyer as soon as possible. ”
The housekeeper's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly persuaded him:
"No, master, the fertile land outside the city is all ancestral industry, how can it be sold!"
"There's no other way now, there's always a time to get it back in the future, so let you go as soon as possible."
Chen Shilang waved him impatiently to let him down, and after the butler left, he slammed the teacup on the table, staring at the broken porcelain on the ground.
After looking at it for a long time, he sneered and spit out a sentence from between his teeth:
"Don't worry, let's come to Japan for a long time, and when I get the power of the world, what I lose today will be repaid by you a hundred times!"
Chen Jinyu stood at the door, shook his head and turned to leave after hearing the movement inside, and then sent someone to send a letter to Jiang Fu, asking them not to come back to visit for a short time.
Chen Jian'an saw his brother's handwriting after he came out of the palace at night.
"The emperor called you to go, but reprimanded you? If I don't want to go back, it's okay to save my father-in-law any more moths! ”
Jiang Fu sat beside him and put the peeled orange into Chen Jian'an's hand.
Chen Jian'an put down the letter paper in his hand to pick up the orange, peeled off a petal and put it in his mouth, frowning so sourly, he glanced at Jiang Fu suspiciously, I was afraid that she didn't want to eat it for herself.
He casually put the remaining oranges on the table, remembering what the emperor told him during the day, his expression became a little serious.
"Your Majesty did not reprimand and reprimand, he summoned me alone because he received a secret letter from the Northwest Secret Agent, saying that the Northern Barbarians were preparing to attack.
Different from the previous burning, killing and looting at the border pass, this time the Northern Barbarian King gathered the soldiers of the whole country, and it seemed that he was preparing to fight to the death. ”
Jiang Fu's face also changed when he heard this, he thought for a moment, and questioned:
"Since the emperor knows the movements of the Northern Barbarians well, then Yan Mingxi's collaborator with the enemy will definitely not be able to hide it from him, even if he can't know it completely, he will be aware of it.
Obviously, he deliberately connived at Yan Mingxi to collude with the Northern Barbarians to trap General Huo in a trap! What a dirty method, just because he was afraid of the Huo family's high merits, he let the enemy country enter the customs, if those miserable border people knew that they were just sacrifices for the emperor to get rid of the generals, I was afraid that they would die without turning a blind eye. ”
was designed to death by his own emperor, who can not hate!
Chen Jian'an pursed her lips and didn't speak, her guess was very reasonable, if not, she had told General Huo many times before, why did His Majesty deliberately protect Yan Mingxi?
I'm afraid that Your Majesty not only knows that Yan Mingxi colluded with the Northern Barbarians, but General Huo may not have been instructed by the emperor in this matter!
It's just that he never expected that Yan Mingxi's intentions were very deep, and even his close contacts with Beiban exceeded his control.
Jiang Fu sighed and said:
"It's really mediocre!"
After speaking, he also glanced at Chen Jian'an's face, wishing that he could not bear to rebel now.
It's a pity that Chen Jian'an just clenched his fist, then restrained the resentment on his face and returned to his usual expression.
"Cautiously, Your Majesty means to send General Huo back to the northwest to defend against the enemy, but I am afraid that his old man is too old and will make some mistakes, so tomorrow morning the court will announce that Lord Yue will be appointed as the supervisor of the army, and I will accompany him as the grain and grass escort officer, and we will set off for Yanmen Pass together in the near future."
I am afraid that General Huo's old age is fake, and I am afraid that he will hold heavy troops and remember his previous revenge and return to the capital.
The reason for sending Dongchang was to send General Huo in case he had a disobedient heart and someone could contain him, but the emperor was afraid that General Huo would be old, so Jiang Guangyao took the opportunity to infiltrate his own forces into the army, so he simply sent Chen Jian'an over.
Jiang Fu was so angry by the brain circuit of the dog emperor that he choked up.
This pass is already chaotic enough, and three forces have been sent to resist the enemy, I'm afraid that the enemy hasn't fought yet, and his own family will fight first.
She sneered, very dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior of letting her father and husband be suspected.
"He has a good plan, just to send all of you out of the capital, and then he will be able to let his people under him gather the power of the capital.
The border pass is a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, and after Daddy and Huo Jiajun are killed and wounded, and then let you take over the remnants of the two generals, and then he will not be the only one who has the final say inside and outside the capital!
However, I am afraid that he is too clever in his calculations, and in the end, people are not as good as the sky, if he thinks that the civil strife Yanmen Pass is not guarded, I am afraid that when the time comes, let alone gather forces, it is a fantasy to save his life! ”
This dog emperor has a sense of beauty in having fun with himself and not caring about the lives of others.
"There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is used, I want Huo Jiajun to spill blood on his head, but he is reluctant to let go of power, and he wants the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass, not to mention what General Huo thinks in his heart, that is, the Beiban is afraid that he can also detect the weakness of Ming Xia and take advantage of it at any time."
Chen Jian'an's suspicion is not unreasonable, the people's hearts are scattered, the army is a plate of scattered sand, and the emperor gave an order to take the Beiban Palace directly, who will take it when Dongchang and Huo's army are there?
The reason why the three monks have no water to drink, why can't he figure it out!
It's a pity that Chen Jian'an didn't say anything about it, when he was in the imperial study during the day, his mouth was about to wear out, but the emperor couldn't listen to a word.
The emperor has made up his mind, and Chen Jian'an can't resist and disobey the order, so he can only send someone to inform General Huo after leaving the palace and let him prepare early.
Jiang Guangyao didn't need Chen Jian'an's notice, with his power in the palace, he was afraid that as soon as he walked out of the imperial study on his front foot, someone would go to report to him on his back foot.
Early the next morning, the emperor announced the decision to canonize Jiang Guangyao as the supervisor of the army, Chen Jian'an as the grain and grass escort officer, and follow General Huo to the northwest.
The ministers whose brains are spinning fast can already smell the coming storm from this will.
Soon the news of the coming-of-attack of the Northern Barbarians spread through storms, and the harem was no exception.
That night, Bai Wanying sent a letter to Chen Jian'an, inviting him to meet him behind the royal temple outside the palace.
She left the palace early in the name of leaving the palace to pray for blessings, and waited in the plum grove behind the temple after dark.
Chen Jian'an appeared in front of her wearing a black cloak, originally thinking that she had some information about His Majesty to tell her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked in, she stuffed a pink and white purse into her hand.
"Lord Chen, this palace knows that I shouldn't say these words, but, but this palace has been pleased with you for a long time, this time I went to the northwest to die for a lifetime, if I don't say these words, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to say them again in the future.
This purse is the life-sustaining pill that the palace begged for in the Tai Hospital, and I hope you can take it with you at any time, the palace is waiting for you to return safely in the capital, and the palace guarantees that after the children of the palace ascend the throne, they will definitely give Lord Chen the supreme position above ten thousand people! ”
Bai Wanying looked at Chen Jian'an, her eyes were full of the thoughts of a girl who admired her, Chen Jian'an chuckled in her heart, and suddenly felt that the purse in her hand had become a hot potato.
