The county lord of Zhaorou put aside these words and walked to the embassy's pavilion, leaving them alone.

Gu Zhifeng was still a little stunned when he saw this situation, and he really didn't understand what this Zhaorou County Lord's slightly regretful expression meant.

Gu Zhixuan understood why the county lord of Zhaorou regretted it, Xiliang had always wanted the county lord of Zhaorou and his relatives to stay in Dongming, he had taken a fancy to King Huainan before, and had worked hard for it for a long time, but now King Huainan has been imprisoned.

After Xiliang saw that King Huainan was imprisoned, he immediately wanted to change his object, and looked at King An Wang Ning, but King An Wang Ning was simply evasive about these princesses because of the matter of Princess Xiyue Zhelan.

If you can't find a suitable match, the county lord of Zhaorou can only go back to Xiliang.

The county lord of Zhaorou urgently needs a good marriage partner.

Gu Zhixuan secretly rejoiced that he had left the Imperial City at this time, otherwise this Xiliang and Zhaorou County would have hit him with their ideas, and there might be some trouble at that time.

The two waited for a long time, and someone came to spread the word, saying that the princess invited them in.

The first time he entered the embassy's pavilion, Gu Zhifeng was still a little nervous, he looked at Gu Zhixuan, and saw that his expression was as calm as before, and he was a little relieved.

It seems that he is not confident enough, so he is worried about this and that.

The princess of Qingwu dealt with some things, and when she saw that the two of them were coming, she asked people to serve tea, and then said: "I sent a letter to ask the emperor to agree that I will live in the Changning Marquis Mansion before leaving the imperial city." ”

Gu Zhixuan paused, if it was according to his own ideas, he actually refused, after all, the Marquis of Changning Mansion was just a courtier, and it was not beneficial for them to have too close contacts with other countries, and it was easy to attract suspicion from above.

But he thought of Zhou's situation again, and now he was afraid that he couldn't do without the princess of Qingwu, so he could only agree to it, but he said that he would not repay him in the future, and he was afraid that the price would not be paid by the Marquis of Changning.

So he said, "I will definitely give a generous gift to the princess in the future." ”

The princess nodded, didn't say anything, didn't delve into the meaning of his words, ordered someone to pack up a few clothes, and she followed Gu Zhixuan and the two brothers to the Changning Marquis Mansion.

She thought to herself, stay with Zhou for a few more days, wait for Zhou's condition to stabilize, and then watch Mr. Hu's fate, then she will leave the imperial city, and everything in this previous life has nothing to do with her.

As for Gu You's person... Since it was Mr. Hu who made a stumbling block to the Changning Hou Mansion, although she had, she didn't seem to be guilty of death, she became the 'Gu You' of this era, and her cousin also became the 'Gu You' of that era, so it can be regarded as two clear.

......

Xie Yixiao waited until the sun went down and it was getting dark, and then waited for the woodsteward and the mirror to return.

Xie Yiling came to Rongguo Mansion today, and accompanied her to use the evening meal, and was sitting with her in the water pavilion at this time, she was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery on the side, Xie Yiling was endorsing on the side, and turning over the book again when he forgot it.

Hearing that the carpenter and Mingjing were back, Xie Yixiao couldn't sit still, and wanted to go to the outer courtyard to meet them, Xie Yiling was full of interest: "Sister, I'm going too." ”

"You're not memorizing your books anymore?"

"Come back and carry it again." Xie Yiling had just learned from Mingxin's mouth that Xie Yixiao had asked the wooden housekeeper to escort the prince of Beiting Hou to the Beiting Hou Mansion to collect debts, and he thought it was really amazing, "Sister, are you really not afraid that they will say that you want money if you die?" ”

Xie Yi laughed when he heard this: "What are you afraid of?" I'm not that noble, and like those people, I regard money like dung, and this money can make life better, and naturally everyone likes it. ”

"But there is a saying that is also true, this gentleman loves money, and should take it in a proper way, use it sparingly, and never give up a person's principles and bottom line for money, this is the heart of human righteousness and loyalty, and human ethics and morality can not be compromised, nor can it be spent excessively and wantonly."

Xie Yiling sighed.

"What are you? You have to remember, you can't make this mistake. ”

Xie Yiling reached out and grabbed his hair: "Sister, I definitely remember." "He doesn't have any particular idea about money, it's good to have more, but he thinks it's good for him now.

"Let's go, go see the woodsteward and the mirror."

"Okay."

Xie Yiling followed Xie Yixiao to the front yard to see people, and the woodcutter reported the matter: "When I just went, the people from the Beiting Hou Mansion still wanted to do something with us, but the subordinates ordered someone to stop them, and later told the Beiting Hou Mansion about it and asked them to compensate, and the people from the Beiting Hou Mansion refused to give money." ”

"Later, the subordinates said that if they did not compensate, they would drag Shen Shizi to Jingzhao Mansion, and let Shen Shizi sober up in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and eat prison food for a few days......"

Xie Yiling asked curiously, "Did they give the money in this way?" ”

"Naturally, there is none." The people of the Beiting Hou Mansion did not intend to pay this money, and after a while, they had a tough attitude and said that they were going to sue the people of Qingfeng Building on the river for beating people, and after a while, they began to cry for poverty, and then they said that they were going to see Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to call the shots.

All in all, it has been a long time coming, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the Rongguo Mansion now.

Xie Yiling asked again: "Then give it now?" ”

"Given."

"How?"

The wood steward said: "It's annoying, so my subordinates let people take Shen Shizi directly to Jingzhao Mansion, don't listen to their nonsense, they can't, so they can only give it." ”

I can't beat and fight, I can't snatch people back, crying and persuasion are ineffective, and the Beiting Marquis Mansion doesn't want the prince to eat in prison, so he can only grit his teeth and give money.

Xie Yiling asked curiously: "How much was that?" ”

"Three thousand six hundred and forty-three taels."

"What?" Xie Yiling gasped, "So much? ”

The woodsteward said, "What's so much about this?" He made trouble in Jiangshang Qingfeng Building, and once he didn't eat and drink well today's guests, he must have appeased the guests, and if he made such a scene, it would not be good for the reputation of Jiangshang Qingfeng Building, and the business would be affected for a long time after that. ”

"Besides, the good steward has been frightened, although he can't really send Shen Shizi to prison right now, he must have some compensation."

Therefore, as soon as the wooden steward calculated, he knocked out more than 3,600 taels of silver from the Beiting Hou Mansion, which is why the Beiting Hou Mansion was unwilling to give money happily.

Xie Yixiao was also a little surprised, she thought it was already good to ask for a thousand, but she didn't expect the woodhouse to be so powerful, and directly gave three thousand taels, this is really her good steward, but it is not ordinary.

She asked the woodcutter, "Now that you have got this money back, what are you going to do with it?" ”

The wood steward thought for a while and said: "The subordinates feel that this matter is the loss and reputation of the Qingfeng Building on the river today, and the second is that the good steward has been wronged, so it is better to divide this money into two, half to the account in the building, and half to the good steward." ”
