Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 868: How!Good thing!

Back at the mansion, Qin Wenyuan ordered the housekeeper Xu Shijun to find a blacksmith to make the halberd according to the imperial standard, and asked the craftsmen to build an imperial square platform with the halberd on the left side of the mansion gate. Congratulations to the government for this honor.

A group of family members including the grandson Anye gathered in the warm pavilion in the "Qujiang Pool" to drink and have fun.

The stewards of this royal garden are members of the royal family. It seems that the grandson Anye and others are familiar with the way here. This place where idlers are not allowed to enter is a good place to talk about things or have fun.

In the spring of the 18th year of Zhenguan, in the warm and cold spring breeze, the warm pavilion overlooks the willow trees beside the "Qujiang Pool". The long willow branches are already dragging the water surface to ripple with the wind. .

It is indeed a good place for the occasion to come here to visit and ask for love, but it is a pity that these mediocre people have evil intentions here, so how can they be in the mood to look forward to the endless spring.

Everyone drank their glasses of water and wine, only to hear the eldest grandson Anye speak first.

"Everyone, it's hard for me to wait and see that thief Qin Wenyuan grows so powerful in the court. With this thief's cruel methods and his status as the prince's junior teacher, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, wouldn't there be no room for us in the court?" .”

These words are like seeds sown in spring, planted in the hearts of many courtiers gathered in "Qujiangchi" today.

Wei Feng, Wei Ting's cousin among the doctors of the Ministry of History, said.

"I agree with the Duke's words. The emperor now trusts Xu Tian more and more. Under such circumstances, it is better for us to endure temporarily and find another shortcut. I don't know if you have heard of the talented Wu Meiniang and the prince. Whether it is related to it or not, we can make some ideas on it. The two bastards Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, the elder brothers of Empress Wu, have already ruined their family after their father died. When you come to Chang'an City, you spend all your time playing horses with a bunch of dandies, but you are short of money, why don't I give some money to make friends with these two bastards, so that they can be used by us in the future?"

Zhang Gongjin, Xiao Chan and others applauded Wei Feng's strategy immediately.

They are all old, treacherous and cunning people, how could they not know the benefits brought by making friends with the Wu brothers, thinking that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and it will be a matter of time for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, so that Empress Wu will be favored by the prince in the future, At that time, I will instigate the Wu family brothers and Qin Wenyuan to do evil. With Qin Wenyuan's traitorous character, it is not impossible to kill the Wu family brothers. If this is the case, it will make the Wu family and the Qin family feud. How should the crown prince deal with Qin Wenyuan at that time? Woolen cloth?

This is a precautionary plan, to give money to the Wu brothers when they are in trouble, so they don't worry that the Wu brothers will not be used by them at that time.

These people can't bite, and dare not bite Qin Wenyuan, but they use such low-level methods behind the scenes. In the political situation of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Xu Tian and Li Zhi would have many disputes. , the situation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will no longer exist.

At this time, Qin Wenyuan was in the mansion to meet the eunuch who announced the decree of the imperial court.

Li Zhi rewarded Qin Wenyuan with the brocade, and the senior wife Lu Yueer distributed it equally to all the wives, even Princess Catherine.

The eunuch Xuanzhi left the mansion of "King Qi". Qin Wenyuan heard that Princess Catherine was invited, so he came to the small courtyard where the princess lived.

But it turns out that Princess Catherine has a lot of brocades but she doesn't know how to use them. Touching the silk fabrics that are smoother than human skin, this girl can't think of anything other than pajamas. They are all made of brocade. In order not to let the wives underestimate my ignorance, I had no choice but to ask Xu Tian for advice.

Understanding what Princess Catherine was thinking, Qin Wenyuan smiled.

"This brocade can not only be used as clothes, it can also be used as silver taels in the Tang Dynasty. How about I design several sets of clothes in different styles for the princess? However, the clothes designed by the master can only be worn by the princess. What do you think?"

Seeing this guy's expression and the warm meaning in his words, the princess said with a charming smile.

"Wow! I don't know if the lord is only lustful but not courageous. This princess is looking forward to it."

"Could it be that the princess wants to tell the young master that you are ready to sacrifice yourself?"

"Get out! You pervert, who will promise you with your body."

The princess was ashamed and annoyed, she actually learned the tone that the wives usually scold Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan "Hey!" Smiled badly, and stretched out his hand to embrace Princess Catherine in his arms, so that the foreign maid serving the princess saw the two of them and quietly left the room.

This guy hugged the princess and whispered in her ear.

"How about young master living here today?"

It was night; Qin Wenyuan played with this girl in the small courtyard where Princess Catherine lived in the mansion.

After eating and drinking, this guy took out some women's clothing, face powder, perfume and other items from the system, which surprised Princess Catherine, and was puzzled by the way this guy produced so many things out of nowhere.

Seeing Qin Wenyuan take out so many items from his chest like a treasure chest, Princess Catherine couldn't imagine how much things could be contained in his robe. This girl also put her hand into Qin Wenyuan's arms, but it felt empty.

"Could it be that the prince knows magic!"

Princess Catherine thought so, but she didn't know how to ask.

With a somewhat dazed expression, the girl turned her attention to the objects used by women, especially the clothes, which made the foreign girl feel novelty. She took them all and ran into the bedroom to show how to use them.

Qin Wenyuan watched Catherine enter the bedroom, but the scene of Catherine putting on those clothes appeared in his mind. This woman drank the wine on the table and walked into the bedroom lightly.

……

While recuperating the princess's body, Qin Wenyuan actually felt that his sixth-level "Heart Sutra" had another sign of breakthrough.

At dawn, this fellow left the princess's room contentedly and went to the practice room to practice breath adjustment and consolidate the skills that showed signs of breakthrough.

Watching this guy leave the room, Princess Catherine exclaimed inwardly.

"My God! Is this the princess' man?"

The sky was bright, and the ladies in the palace saw Princess Catherine's complexion different from the past, so they didn't know that this foreign girl had already made a good relationship with the girl in the family. After thinking about it, Lu Yue'er has the generosity of a housewife. Instead of resentment, he laughed and teased Princess Catherine.

"Princess, this flower has already been broken by the embryo I waited for."

The ladies all made fun of Catherine when they heard the words, but they made this little girl who usually talked about men and women unimportantly a little awkward and shy.

Since he and Qin Wenyuan have a relationship between men and women.

At that time, among the wives of Qin Wenyuan, Princess Xiangcheng already had this boy, which made the "Qi Palace" burst into joy.

Just when the good news came out from the "Qi Wang Mansion" that Princess Xiangcheng was pregnant, several creditors in the Wu family's mansion in Chang'an City forced the Wu family brothers to repay the debt, threatening that if the Wu family brothers had no money, they would take over the Wu family's mansion in Chang'an City.

Wu Meiniang's mother-in-law, Yang Shi, was forced to do nothing by the son of the dead ghost husband. She thought about how she would find a place to live if she had no house, so she had to send people to the palace to ask her daughter Wu Meiniang for help.

This news was known by Wang's family, after telling the grandson's family, Wei's family, and Xiao's family, several families gave some silver taels to the creditor, but they asked the creditor to call out the Wu family brothers to speak.

The two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, faced with a number of able-bodied debt collectors, tried their best to beg for a grace period for repaying the debts, but the money lenders were impatient and grabbed the two brothers and said viciously.

"Straight mother thief! If you don't return the money today, don't blame me for driving your whole family out of the mansion!"

Yang only knew how to cry on the sidelines, as an old woman, she was the opponent of her ex-husband's son, the only thing she could rely on was her own daughter who got news and brought some silver to save her, and it was not easy to find her daughter in the palace, The palace is not something that anyone can enter if they want.

The two brothers of the Wu family saw that Mrs. Yang was crying all the time, these two bastards did not dare to get angry with the debt collectors, but they dared to curse at the old lady.

"It's you, an old bastard, who has been crying all day long to make my brother unlucky. Now either your daughter has to pay some silver to pay off the debt, or pack up and get out!"

"A thousand knives! You will always bully my old woman, even if your father sees it, he won't let you go."

"The old man still dares to talk stubbornly. If you can't get the money today, don't blame my brother for being cruel."

Seeing the two brothers bullying the old lady, even those debt collectors couldn't stand it, one of them kicked Wu Yuanqing and said disdainfully.

"You wait for things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, and you bully the old like this, so you won't be afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Wu Yuanqing suffered from pain, hugged Wu's feet and cried loudly.

"It's because I was wrong, so Auntie will save my brother for the sake of the dead father!"

The two brothers are really nothing. For the sake of money, they will use any means of shamelessness, and their faces will turn as soon as they say it.

Just when the Wufu was in full swing, a person came in outside the door and whispered to the leader of the debt collector.

The man shouted to the two brothers of the Wu family after hearing this.

"And follow me out, there will be people who want to meet you!"

The two brothers were secretly afraid when they heard the words, not knowing what greater danger they would encounter when they went out.

Speaking of the late Ying Guogong, Warrior Qu, these two unsatisfactory sons, they are really incapable of writing and martial arts, but they are proficient in everything about brothels and casinos, and they are even more dandies than the dandies in Chang'an City. This bastard is idle all day long, not to mention, he has already wiped out all the family property earned by a Wu Dalord, otherwise he would not have run to Chang'an City from "Jingzhou" in desperation.

The two brothers had good intentions, besides wanting to benefit from their half-sister Wu Zetian, they also coveted their father's mansion in Chang'an, but they didn't think that it was the only place for the Yang family to live.

The two brothers were afraid of danger and didn't want to go with the creditor, but they couldn't find a strong man like a wolf like a tiger, so they had no choice but to go along obediently.

There was a tavern at the corner of the street not far from Wufu. After the Wu family brothers were brought in by several people, they saw a middle-aged man wearing silk and satin, speaking to the leader of the debt collection team.

"Brother, can you take a step to speak?"

The creditor saw that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and thought that the young lady of the Wu family was an empress in the palace, so he didn't dare to disobey him for a while, so he nodded and bowed in agreement.

The two were a little far away from everyone, and sat facing each other at a square table in the tavern. After a few words, the creditor waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to bring the Wu family brothers. , but watched the brothers of the Wu family talking to the man in extraordinary clothes.

The Wu family brothers carefully sat on both sides of the square table, with fearful expressions on their faces, and promised to the person who was sitting with a smile on their faces.

"Hey! You brothers are in the current situation, you really embarrass Duke Wu."

Hearing that the man knew his father, the Wu family brothers felt a little relaxed, but they dared not speak while looking at him eagerly.

"A certain family is the deceased of Duke Wu. I heard that your brother is in some difficulties. Seeing from the face of the old man, I want to help you two brothers to overcome this difficulty. However, a certain family has to clearly say that this is not unconditional help. The money you need is two dollars. You have to set up an IOU. Of course, a certain family will not urge your brother to repay the debt. If you want your brother to do something for a certain family in the future, you can write off the debt if you do it well. You can rely on the situation, a certain family promises to make your brother disappear from this world, and a certain family says the same, don’t force your brother to accept help, think clearly before using money to eliminate disasters.”

When the two brothers learned of such a good deed, it was undoubtedly a thirsty person who suddenly saw the clear spring. They would not think about why others were like this. They wished to have money to quickly send the debt collector. His brother knew the cruel methods of the creditor, even though he had a house. He could resist, but how dare he ruthlessly drive Yang out of the mansion when there was a glimmer of hope, and offend the girls in the palace to death.

There is a saying: "Mountains don't turn, water turns!"

What should happen if the girl becomes famous one day, the two of his brothers still know this truth.

The two brothers knelt down and kowtowed to those who helped them, they called the waiter in the tavern repeatedly to bring a pen and paper, and without even thinking about it, they wrote down this promissory note, which was like a deed of selling their lives, but it caused a catastrophe in the years to come... …

Wu Meiniang, who was in the deep palace, finally learned the news that her mother was asking for advice, tears rolled down from her heart, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

The little money she earned in the palace obviously couldn't solve the predicament, and she wanted to get the officials to come forward, but she was afraid that the emperor would know about it and cause even bigger troubles. The gold and silver jewelry was sold to the mother for emergency, but she had to go with her personal maid who entered the palace.

"Your Majesty must not let these ornaments out of the palace. If anyone knows about your relationship with the Crown Prince, it will be a crime of beheading."

The maid's words shocked Wu Meiniang into a cold sweat. She was originally a very smart person, but she was almost confused because she was worried about her mother.

To calm herself down, this woman took advantage of her right to walk around the palace because she was responsible for recording the concubines' banquets, sleeping and sericulture, and ordered the maid to inform the prince Li Zhi that he was in the "Hongwen Pavilion" of the palace with her. meet.

In "Hongwenguan", Prince Li Zhi sees the sad face of the woman who has been thinking about it day and night, and his heart is full of grief.

Asked why Wu Meiniang was like this, Wu Meiniang leaned in the prince's arms and cried about her mother's plight because her brother was forced to pay debts, and Li Zhi kept comforting the beauty in his arms and promised to settle the matter.
