After the prince enters the play

252 Chapter 253: She Has Proud Capital
All transferred to the Salt Envoy, also known as the Salt Official, and Li Ji fell into the official position of the Liangjiang Salt Administration!
Of course, the Southern Qi Salt Administration had three yamen, namely the Department of Transferring Salt Envoys, the Division of Salt Promotion, and the Division of Jianyan Promotion. In comparison, the most powerful one was the Department of Transferring Salt Envoys.

Li Ji was in charge of Liangjiang Salt Administration, if we really want to discuss it in detail, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Salt Envoy.

Mrs. Jiang didn't say a single bad word, but it made Li Guifei so angry that she didn't want to say anything.

Originally, she wanted to make Jiang Ruolan lose face, but she didn't expect that it was her family who was really ashamed.

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand this confrontation, but when the eldest lady reminded her softly, she understood instantly.

Mrs. Jiang is amazing, this is a master, worth learning, worth learning!

What is the woman fighting for?
Before getting married, she was fighting for her family's family status. After getting married, she was fighting for her husband's official position, her son's future, and her daughter's marriage. Concubine Li Gui was overwhelmed by Mrs. Jiang everywhere. The only one who could win was Concubine Li herself. .

Sure enough, those who can teach such outstanding children as Jiang Zhongqing and Jiang Ruolan must not be idle. It is really unexpected that Mrs. Jiang, who is so kind when talking to her, is indeed sturdy when she is powerful.

It's just that her toughness is completely different from hers. She is showing her sharpness, but Mrs. Jiang is showing off inside.

Princess Pingjing frowned slightly, looking at Su Xinyi, she couldn't help but think of her son, but she was surprised that Mrs. Jiang was on Su Xinyi's side. In this way, Jiang Shangshu is a sure-fire princeling.

This made her a little uncomfortable. She originally thought of marrying into the Prince's Mansion of Guangping County, so that she could have a relationship with King Rong. With this level of marriage, her son's future will naturally be brighter.

But now seeing the queen sitting firmly on the throne, her mind slowly wavered a little. She lowered her head slightly, so naturally she wouldn't get involved at this time, but it didn't prevent her from hating Su Xinyi.

The marriage between the Jiang family and the Yue family really caused the minds of those present to constantly change.

At this moment, the queen finally spoke, her eyes fell on Su Xinyi, and with a shallow smile, she said unhurriedly, "Concubine Li Gui is just joking with County Lord Yong'an, and Mrs. Jiang is also good." Blessed, the daughter can find a good marriage, and the parents will feel at ease."

"Thank you, Empress, for your kind words." Mrs. Jiang stood up and saluted.

"Mrs. Jiang, don't be too polite, just sit down. I asked the music workshop to prepare a dance for everyone." The queen said with a smile.

The drum music in the hall sounded again, and all the dancers entered the hall in bright and beautiful clothes, dancing to the music.

But at this time, the most embarrassing thing was Li Qingyi, who said she was performing, but she was the only one in the end, if she wasn't afraid of getting into trouble, she wished she could walk away with her face covered.

Zhu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and under the cover of the music, said to his mother: "I was scared to death."

Mrs. Zhu patted her daughter's hand and said softly, "What have you learned?"

Zhu Chanyi was really eye-opening and said after a while, "I didn't realize that Mrs. Jiang is so powerful."

Mrs. Zhu: ...

This is indeed one aspect, but it is not the most important.

Jiang Shangshu has been able to sit in the position of household minister for many years. As his wife, Mrs. Jiang is incompetent for taking care of the housework for him?

Civil servants are different from nobles. Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Jiang have no contact with each other, but they have heard of Mrs. Jiang's virtuous name, but today Mrs. Jiang's support for the county magistrate of Yong'an made her feel shivering.

What surprised her even more was Mrs. Qi Guogong's protection of County Lord Yong'an. That kind of maintenance was not just a show, nor was it because the County Lord Yong'an was about to become a princess, but it could be seen that she was sincerely protecting her.

This is very rare.

Today's palace banquet is really interesting.

At the end of the palace banquet, Su Xinyi left the palace with her aunt, and after leaving the palace, her aunt took her to catch up with Mrs. Jiang to thank her.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "Madam Guo, you don't have to be so polite, I'm just telling the truth, it's nothing."

When people say this, Da Furen must not just accept it, and said with a smile: "After the new year, if there is a chance to invite Madam to drink tea again, then I will definitely treat Madam to favor."

During the Chinese New Year, every household is busy visiting relatives and going out to visit, so the lady will set the time after the first month, which is a sincere invitation.

Mrs. Jiang refused with a smile, looked at Mrs. Madam and said, "Mrs. Guogong really don't need to worry about such a trivial matter. Speaking of Dongli Palace, it was thanks to the county lord's candid and straightforward words. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will get into trouble. County The Lord was merciful first, and today I am just following suit.”

Civil servants and generals should not get too close. Mrs. Jiang said this frankly, and Mrs. Jiang no longer insisted. She thanked Mrs. Jiang and bid farewell to Mrs. Jiang in a friendly manner.

After boarding the carriage, Mrs. Jiang leaned on the soft pillow and breathed a sigh of relief, closing her eyes and slowly resting her mind. This banquet was really tiring.

She didn't intend to get involved today, but whether it's Empress Shu or Concubine Li Gui's face is too ugly, most of the people who have good relations with Duke Qi's mansion are noble families, even Mrs. Zhu can't speak directly on this occasion .

She just likes County Master Yong'an very much, this child has a pure nature, not to mention accepting her love at the beginning, and today's words of help can be regarded as repaying the favor.

Thinking of Concubine Li Gui's words, Mrs. Jiang's complexion became ugly again.

When thinking of Concubine Li Gui, one can't help but think of Su Yi's injury and Wu Daohong's surprise attack years ago. In fact, everyone has answers to these two things, but they can't come up with evidence.

Su Yi's injury was a waste of money, and Wu Daohong's sneak attack was considered a steal, but the real person behind the scenes still didn't show up.

Now the court is looking clear and bright, but as His Royal Highness is about to marry a wife, the marriages of several other princes have also been mentioned in the court.

Her husband naturally strongly supports the prince, but there are not a few people who are optimistic about King Rong and King Xiang.

She likes the princess of Yong'an County, so she naturally hopes that after she marries into the East Palace, she can give birth to a little grandson as soon as possible to gain a firm foothold, and wait for other princes to have their own children. Which of a group of little grandchildren is loved by His Majesty is guaranteed to have no influence on the position of the crown prince. no threat.

It is not that the previous dynasty did not fail to establish another prince because of his love for his grandson.

What's more, the husband said that His Majesty chose the county magistrate of Yong'an as his wife for the crown prince, both good and bad.

Just look at the fact that Empress Shu and Concubine Li Gui, who have been enemies for many years, have put aside their previous suspicions and joined forces today in order to deal with the County Lord Yong'an. One can predict that her life after marrying into the Eastern Palace may not be too peaceful.

Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply. County Mistress Yong'an grew up outside, so I'm afraid she may not be able to deal with the intrigues in the palace.

On the other hand, after Su Xinyi and his aunt returned home, they went to Mrs. Tai to say hello, and briefly explained what happened at the palace banquet.

Mrs. Tai sneered, Queen Shu is really not very smart, her son is still practicing martial arts with them in their house, but he is helping Concubine Li to make things difficult for Xin Yi. The blow is not insignificant.

Perhaps, the situation in the harem was different from what they had imagined.

"Xin Yi's marriage to the East Palace is already a certainty. Today, the queen and the concubine are joining forces, and I'm afraid it's not just targeting Xin Yi." Mrs. Tai narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The Ministry of Rites came to urge the wedding a few years ago. I only said to discuss it after a year. In my opinion, the wedding date should not be postponed for too long, and I will discuss it with your grandfather."

The eldest lady nodded slightly, "What mother said is that I also think that if Xin Yi enters the East Palace as soon as possible, she will be able to know the situation in the palace as soon as possible. Giving marriages to several other princes, it can be seen that after the prince's big wedding, the marriages of the other princes will not be too far away, after all, those people can't just watch the prince have a child before the other princes."

If the grandson of the emperor can be favored by His Majesty, the position of the crown prince may also capsize.

Mrs. Tai nodded and looked up at Xin Yi, "Xin Yi, what do you think?"

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I always listen to my family."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also hoped that she would get married earlier. The family thought about her marriage.

She can now feel that life in the palace is not easy. His Highness has faced the queen and the others for so many years, especially the queen is still a successor. With the prince's temperament, she may have suffered a lot.

This will not work.

"The Ministry of Rites means that the wedding date is set in February, which is still too urgent." Mrs. Tai said looking at Xin Yi.

Su Xinyi blushed slightly, the prince really asked the Ministry of Rites to set February, she didn't want to say anything now.

Mrs. Tai rarely saw her little granddaughter blushing, she couldn't help but smiled, "It shouldn't be too late, and it shouldn't be too early, I think it should be good in April."

Su Xinyi: ...

The prince also expected so!
Seeing Xin Yi's embarrassment, the eldest lady couldn't help being happy, "Xin Yi, you go back first, I will discuss this matter with your grandmother. By the way, after you go back, ask someone to inform your mother. Let her come too."

Su Xinyi hastily agreed, turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Tai is also happy to look at it, it's rare, the monkey in their family is sometimes shy.

"How is Xin Yi's dowry prepared?" Mrs. Tai asked, looking at Mrs. Da.

The eldest lady said: "According to the number of betrothal gifts for the prince concubines in previous dynasties, the daughter-in-law has drawn up a dowry list. I'll have someone bring it over for you to read. Can you keep looking at it? The fourth sibling is here, so I just let her see it too."

Mrs. Tai nodded, and Mrs. Tai asked someone to go to her room to get the brochure. When the brochure was brought over, the fourth lady also arrived.

The dowry of the girls in the mansion generally consists of three parts, one part is the dowry from the public, about 5000 taels, and it is the same for every girl, regardless of the concubines.The second part is the one supplemented by Mrs. Tai. Basically, the weight of this part is almost the same, and occasionally it will be a bit more focused, such as the one for Su Xixian.The third share is the one given by each house itself. It is hard to say how much this share is.

This share in the public does not distinguish between the descendants and concubines, and it is considered fair.

But there are still differences between the concubine and concubine of each house. For example, Su Lanqian married the uncle's mansion, and the second wife would naturally give more to her own daughter. Su Chaoyan married the concubine of the Tu family, so of course the dowry cannot be compared with that of her sister.

The same is true of the third room. The dowry prepared by the third wife for Su Jingmo is incomparable to that of Su Xixian. Besides, both Su Chaoyan and Su Xixian have their own aunts. When Su Chaoyan got married, her aunts paid a lot in private.

But Su Xixian was not as lucky as Su Chaoyan, and Aunt Weng resented her so much that she didn't take out any of the dowry that was originally prepared for her.

But when it came to Su Xinyi, it was different, because she was married into the royal family as a princess, and this dowry could not be considered as usual.

The public share has increased from 5000 taels to 2 taels, and Mrs. Tai has also prepared a copy, and the specific amount will be around 1 taels. Not to mention the fourth wife, there is only one child in the fourth room. The portion she prepared was more than that of Gongzhong and Mrs. Tai combined.

No matter how much the fourth lady prepares, no matter whether it is the eldest lady or the too old lady, it is the matter of the fourth room.What they are discussing now is how to distribute the 2 taels of dowry in the public office, and what they are going to write.

Clothes for all seasons, silk and satin fabrics of various patterns, in addition to various jewelry to match the clothes, silver purses for daily rewards, not to mention some gold and jade ornaments, large and small screens, etc. for facades.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things, and the brochures prepared by the eldest lady are all finger-thick.

The fourth lady was very surprised after seeing it, looked at the eldest lady and said, "Sister-in-law, are these too many?"

These things must not be worth 2 taels, and the eldest lady must have subsidized a portion in private.

"Not much. Xin Yi is going to be a princess. This dowry is her dignity and confidence. She can't be looked down upon by the people in the palace, and she can't hold her head up for the rest of her life." The eldest lady said with a smile, "Fourth brother and sister, You don't have to worry about other children's dissatisfaction, they all know that Xin Yi's being the princess is only good for them, and her decency and glory are naturally everyone's."

"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. I just thought that there are still a few children of Su Qi in our house who have not married wives. When Xin Yi gets married, their marriage will have to be arranged, and they need money everywhere." Fourth Madam He hurriedly said.

Mrs. Tai waved her hand, "You don't need to worry about this, your sister-in-law has already prepared for these things. You just have to see if the things on this list are ready, and if you are not satisfied, just change them."

"Sister-in-law is the most fair and considerate in doing things. I see that everything is suitable and there is no dissatisfaction." Fourth Madam said with a smile.

The eldest lady was very happy when she heard the words, she used to have a mediocre relationship with her fourth sibling, and the two of them had a bit of a disagreement.She is the person in charge of the family, so it is inevitable that she will be more decisive and direct in her actions, but the fourth sibling is a scholar, and her behavior is different from her, so it is inevitable that she will not agree with her temperament.

But I don't know when, the relationship between the eldest lady and the fourth lady has gradually become more and more harmonious.

"If the fourth sibling is satisfied, I will prepare according to this." Da Furen asked Tai Furen.

Mrs. Tai nodded, "Let's prepare like this." After finishing speaking, she asked Mama Yu to take out a booklet, and watched Mrs. Madam and Mrs. Fourth speak, "I prepared this for Xin Yi, you can use it to open the warehouse and enter the account. "

The eldest lady hurriedly reached out to take it, and opened it together with the fourth lady. They were a little surprised at this, because there was no cash in the account book, and all kinds of things were prepared for exchanges and gifts.

The fourth lady felt a little hot, but the eldest lady's expression remained unchanged. Looking at the appearance of the fourth sibling, she said with a smile: "It should be, Xin Yi has become a princess, and in the future, the princes will also marry wives, and they will communicate with their sister-in-law. Always reach out."

There are some things that money can't buy, some of these are Mrs. Tai's own dowry, some have been saved over the years, each of which can be taken out alone can fill a town.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with the things used by the royal family, but it is enough for ordinary human exchanges.

Mrs. Tai was a little tired, so she looked at them and said, "Okay, you guys go back and discuss it."

The eldest lady smiled and left with the fourth lady who was hesitant to speak. After leaving the door, the eldest lady said: "Fourth brother and sister, this is mother's subsidy to Xin Yi. One is because she can't lose face if she becomes a princess. Secondly, it is also because the child has suffered a lot growing up outside, so let’s leave it at that.”

What else could the fourth lady say, so she could only smile and say, "Sister-in-law, I... OK, I'll listen to sister-in-law."

The eldest lady nodded with a smile, "I'll prepare mine here, and you'll prepare Xin Yi's ones in separate boxes and books, and we'll put them together in the end."

The fourth lady knew that the eldest lady was not asking how much Sifang gave Xin Yi, so she agreed with a smile.

The banquets in the palace followed one after another. Su Xinyi only participated in the first big banquet, and she did not attend the later palace banquets. After all, although she is a prospective princess, she has not been married after all.

She stayed at home with peace of mind, this year was lively and busy, she remembered to visit Zeng Liang, and also gave gifts to relatives and friends who came and went, the gifts from Huaining were sent early years ago, guessing Before they could arrive, they also received Huaining's New Year's gift a few years ago.

Another one was sent from Pingningwei, Su Baiwei's annual gift to her family, a big cart full, she thought of everyone.

Su Xinyi discussed with several sisters, and they each gave Su Baiwei a gift, and they left with the car of the Duke's Mansion.

Su Deng originally wanted to come to the capital a few years ago, but he didn't expect that the plan would not be as big as the change. Su Li fell ill before departure, so they couldn't travel long distances to come to the capital again, so they simply went back to Huaining .

Cao Qing and others failed to come back years ago, until they suddenly came back on the eighth day of the new year, which shocked Su Xinyi.

"Six girls."

Su Xinyi looked at Cao Qing and Mu Bu in surprise, "Get up, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you mean to wait until after the Lantern Festival?"

She looked at the complexions of the two of them. It seemed that they were fine except for being a little tired. Mu Xing's overall feeling was not as gloomy as before.

"We didn't act together with Pang Daren and His Highness Rong Wang. We went to Huaining with the two young masters, and then turned back from Huaining." Cao Qing said with a smile, "In this way , we are faster than them."

It turned out to be the case.

Su Xinyi saw that the two of them were busy, so he hurriedly asked them to go back to take a bath, change clothes, eat something to rest, and talk again tomorrow.

It was not until the next day that Su Xinyi saw them again, and the mental state of the two of them was obviously different after a good night's sleep.

Cao Qing said everything was going well, and Mu Bu was specifically holding back.

"The scenery on the grassland is beautiful, and most of the herders I met were kind."

"When the wind blows at night and you sip sand the next day, a good herdsman will take your life with a machete."

"It's very simple to do business with the people on the grassland. If you barter, many people will abide by the order."

"There are always a few white wolves who want to get something for nothing."

"This trip is not considered a hardship, and I have gained a lot, and I have accumulated a lot of experience for the next trip."

"Eating hardships is indeed much less than eating sand. I don't know if you have more travel experience, but the experience of being surrounded by people in the dark and blocking your life is indeed a lot."

Cao Qing: ...

Su Xinyi: ...

Cao Qing couldn't go on anymore, well, let this old man say that even though he has a cunning temper, he also wants to roll up his sleeves and hit someone at this time.

Su Xinyi was overjoyed, she looked at Mu Bu and asked: "You don't want to go so much, how about this, you don't go this time, it's better to stay in the capital. Let Wu Shun go with Cao Qing, and Wu Shun's Temperament should like it. Oh, you don't know Wushun yet, this one is also a formidable person, if you two compete, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."

Mu Bu looked at Su Xinyi, seeing that what she said was serious, not like a joke, he thought about it seriously, if he stayed in the capital, he would have to face many people, he is not good at dealing with people, it is too annoying up.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Oh, I suddenly feel that the scenery on the grassland is really nice."

Cao Qing laughed immediately, as expected a girl is the only way to control him.

Seeing that Mu Bu had given up, he began to complain, "Girl, you don't know that Mu Xing is so aggressive, and he would draw his sword to meet people at every turn, whether it's the people of His Royal Highness or His Royal Highness. People, he has fought against people. Everyone wants to hide when they see him now, so you have to talk about him."

Just because of Mu Xing, how many times did Cao Qingdai pay for him, and it makes him angry when he thinks about it. If it weren't for Mu Xing's ability to investigate and explore the way, he really doesn't want him, it's too difficult to take him along.

Su Xinyi turned to look at Mu Xing.

Mu Xing looked up at Chengchen, as if I didn't hear anything.

Su Xinyi said slowly, "Will you win or lose? Looking at you like this, it seems like you lost."

Mu Xing suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Xinyi, "Are you kidding me? How could I lose? If we fight now, maybe you can't beat me."

He went out of the grassland two times, and it was not for nothing to explore the road alone. His skills have indeed become stronger than before after repeated experiences.

He is proud because he has money.

"Oh, that's a victory. However, there is nothing to be proud of. Whether it is His Royal Highness or His Royal Highness, the people sent by His Royal Highness are not the strongest around them, but you are my right-hand man. If you lose Isn’t it embarrassing for me? Are you very powerful to defeat the weak with the strong?”

Mu Xing: ...

A mouthful of old blood is about to be spit out, don't bring such a spoiled person!

　The update is completed in the early morning, my little cuties, I wish you all a happy Children's Day.
