Chapter 230: The old lady of the Yong family

The old lady waited for half an hour, and the third lady and the fifth lady of the Yong family came with her, the three of them sat together, and the people around them were all from the palace, and they dared to open their mouths to speak at will, so they could only sit so dryly, when the old lady cursed Yan Mu'an to the third hundredth time in her heart, Yan Mu'an finally came late.

"Old lady, but you've been waiting for a long time?"

Yan Mu'an was dressed up beautifully and elegantly, without much dress, and she was wearing homely clothes, sitting in a pile of three ladies who were full of pearls and emeralds, and couldn't wait for their shoes to be inlaid with gold, she was very simple, but no one dared to underestimate her.

After all, when it comes to her status, she doesn't need these external foils.

The three of them stood up and saluted, "Say hello to the princess." “

Seeing that the three of them were just blessings, Mama Guan opened her mouth, "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, the princess is a super first-class prince and princess, and the three ladies should make a big gift." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Yan Mu'an said with a smile: "It's rare for the three ladies to enter Beijing, and they can understand it if they don't understand the rules, so let's just sit down." ”

She was just polite, and the three of them really took it as a tonic, and retreated to their places and sat down.

Yan Mu'an looked at the old lady, "Does the old lady have something important to come here today?" ”

The old lady, who has always been domineering, now has no initial momentum, so she can only laugh, "I heard that the princess is coming to Yongcheng, I am looking forward to it day and night, this is three generations up, our branch and the emperor's branch are also counted as one, and the princess still has to call me a cousin, a family." “

"You came here after a long journey, and you should have let you rest for a few more days, no, the ladies of the family want to see you, and the old woman is cheeky to bring them here, if you disturb the princess, please don't blame."

[As long as you take my words and recognize them as a family, it will be easy to do. 】

Yan Mu'an smiled, "The old lady may not know, I have not been married to the prince for a long time, and the prince is busy with government affairs, and has never mentioned that the royal family has relatives in Yongcheng, before this I thought that the relatives of the royal family were all in the capital, such as King Fu, the king of Longqing County, and many Hou Ye and Uncle are also often in contact, and it was only on the way that the prince mentioned that there was a distant relative who stayed in the ancestral land of the Yong family, but there was almost no contact." ”

"A few days ago, I also saw a letter of worship that claimed to be sent by the Yong family, I haven't seen this relative of the royal family in Yongcheng, and the prince is busy, so I can only put it aside, even if the old lady you are here today, I can't rashly admit you, the stakes are very high, and you need the prince's approval."

The old lady was a little panicked, if you want to say that she is noble, people have lived the days of the queen mother all these years; But she just enjoyed the life of the Queen Mother, without the wisdom of the Queen Mother, and she didn't go out of the house much all the year round, and the people who appeared in front of her were all flatterers, so that she didn't have any plans at all except for blindly using force, and she didn't have the power to parry when she met a beginner like Yan Mu'an.

I could only blink my cloudy eyes, and my head floated: [Should I say something, what do I want to say?] 】

[I feel like she has a point, oops, why am I here today?] 】

Yan Mu'an wanted it inexplicably, and looked at the other two Mrs. Yong, both of whom were thinking: [Strange embarrassment, why doesn't the old lady speak?] ]

[If it really doesn't work, let's go, these things should be done by men.] 】

[God, it's so quiet, who can say a word.] 】

The corners of Yan Mu'an's mouth twitched slightly, and she got up slowly, "The old lady and the two ladies please go back, and after the prince takes out his efforts to meet the Yong family in Yongcheng, this princess will feast you again." ”

As she spoke, she didn't give a few people a look before leaving, and as soon as she left on her front foot, a few girls stood in front of the three ladies of the Yong family, "Old lady, please." ”

The old lady came with expectations, but she left in a daze, and she didn't react until she got out of the gate of the palace and got into her own carriage.

Didn't she say it all, according to her seniority, even the princess would call her a grandmother, why was she so unprepared and disrespectful to her elders?

Forget it, if you are disrespectful, you will not be respectful, people have not even drunk a sip of her water, and she is not lacking in filial piety.

As for Mrs. Yongsan and Mrs. Yongwu, who had never said a word throughout the whole process, they had long been shocked by the guards with knives in the palace, and they had seen a lot of the kind of officials with knives in the yamen, but the kind of palace, especially those who were still wearing armor, were the first time they saw them, and they made people feel frightened when they looked at them.

It wasn't until she returned to her own territory that she exhaled heavily, and the old lady also came back to her senses, feeling that she was a loser, and she instantly felt very irritable, why did she look for these angry old ladies who were so good?

"I also went, I said everything that should be said, don't toss my old bones in the future, even the princess's banquet in the future will say that I am unwell."

She just wanted to stay in a place where she felt comfortable and safe, to be a pampered old lady who had to talk to her carefully.

Seeing that she picked the sons of the Yong family, the masters didn't dare to say anything, so they could only focus on Mrs. Yongsan and Mrs. Yongwu, the two of them almost repeated Yan Mu'an's words word for word, and felt that what Yan Mu'an said was quite reasonable, not to mention the princess, even if they married into the door for so many years, they didn't recognize all these people in their husband's family, and occasionally they could jump out of two that they had never seen at all.

If you haven't seen it, of course you can't say what the other party says, and you can't check it clearly?

They think about it, but the masters of the Yong family are half angry and half dead, and they really don't know them after making trouble for so long?

Do they want to give New Year's gifts from Beijing every year?

So the New Year's gift is useless at all?

"Didn't you say when the prince will come back?"

Both of them shook their heads, and also explained to Yan Mu'an intimately, "If the prince doesn't approve of it, she, as the princess, naturally can't make any moves, and they all said that if the prince confirms, she will invite us to a banquet." ”

Several people in the Yong family frowned, but they could only send someone to squat outside the palace to see when the prince would come back, as long as they came back, they wouldn't hand over any posts, and went directly to the door.

"Ninth Master."

A subordinate came quickly, "The people from the Yamen came to spread the word, saying that many people have come to the Yamen to sue the Zizhu Gang for bullying and dominating the market, and Governor Yang invites you to come over." ”

"What?"

The Zizhu Gang is subordinate to Yongjiu Ye, and the big families in Yongcheng know about it, but no one has said it, they all pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they have not robbed the Yong family for land and business, and no one dares to provoke the Zizhu Gang, and now they have been sued to the Yamen.

"Ninth Master."

Someone ran quickly and lowered his voice, saying that the streets and alleys were saying that the Yong family colluded with gangs to oppress the people, and also said that the ninth master of the Yong family was only afraid that he wanted to rebel, but it was the Zizhu Gang that licked blood from the knife edge.

"It came too fast, and all of a sudden, the major teahouses and restaurants were spreading, and we arrested a few people for torture, all of them were ordinary people, and they had all heard about it, and they hadn't caught the people who spread rumors behind the scenes."

This time, several people in the Yong family were panicked, if it was before, forget it, but now Yongcheng is no longer their final say, what do the people behind it want to do?

"Call Xiao Zhu to me first."

Xiao Zhu, the leader of the Zizhu Gang, was counting his manpower and preparing to go to the Crane Shadow Gate at the moment, when he got the news, he immediately appeared in front of Yong Jiuye, "It was the Crane Shadow Gate who did it!" ”
