Chapter 129 There are pits everywhere

Empress Meng knew that one should strike while the iron is hot. After Su Chengying stood up to say goodbye, she went to the imperial court in person and told Emperor Liang exactly what Su Chengying had just said.

Emperor Liang knew very well that Su Chengying wanted to avoid future troubles, but even so, Emperor Liang still sighed. After all, giving him a name represented his determination to be honest and upright. Not everyone has this kind of courage without hesitation.

Moreover, Su Chengying's actions also proved that his original choice was right, so regardless of the above reasons, Emperor Liang had no reason to refuse.

Su Chengying had been waiting outside the palace in a carriage. After seeing the palace come out with the word "gift", she followed all the way to the shop.

After everyone in the shop learned that Su Chengying had been given a title by the emperor, they were beyond words surprised, especially the doctors who had been recruited by the fifth prince to the capital. Their eyes looking at Su Chengying were full of admiration. .

I would like to ask, among the hundreds of pharmacies in Beijing, who can get the emperor's gift?

This kind of glory is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime!

Su Chengying took the people in the shop to accept the reward gracefully, and then ordered Huang Qi to find a good framer to have the calligraphy done. After everything was done, she got on the carriage back home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Zhang's mother coming to greet me and said, "Your Highness, the old lady invites you."

Su Chengying didn't dare to be careless when the old lady invited her. After entering the door, she walked towards the main courtyard.

In the house, the ladies from all the houses were present.

After Su Chengying entered the door, she said something to the old lady first, and then she was summoned by the old lady to sit next to her. The eldest lady Liu already looked a little hungry, but after seeing Su Chengying's high-spirited look, she was filled with hatred. pain.

"I came to see you today because I actually want to discuss something with you. Brother Yu from the fourth family will get married before the end of the year. He will marry the youngest daughter of the imperial family's attendant." The old lady said with a smile. .

Northern Liang is different from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Anyone can get married as long as they are old enough, and there is no rule that the youngest should be given first.

Su Chengying calculated that although the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy's Attendant was an insignificant presence in the court, after careful calculation, the current Duke's Mansion was nothing more than an empty shell. If he could find an official lady, he would be a good match. .

"This is really a great happy event." Su Chengying looked at the fourth lady Jin again and smiled, "Congratulations to the fourth lady."

The fourth lady Jin quickly stood up and said, "We are all happy together."

The old lady looked at Su Chengying and said, "When there are new people in the mansion, each hospital will have to help."

Su Chengying's heart warmed, "The old lady can say this to me because she doesn't treat me as an outsider. After all, I am also a sister-in-law, so I should help everyone."

The old lady was very pleased to see Su Chengying agreeing so happily. She really liked Su Chengying's thoughtfulness and sensibleness more and more. The smile on the fourth lady Jin's face also got deeper and deeper. Thanks to her wise choice of a man. Someone worth relying on.

There was a lot of fun in the room, but just when Su Chengying was about to ask the old lady how much money each hospital received for support, the eldest lady Liu suddenly fell to the ground with an "ouch".

For a moment, everyone, whether it was true or false, surrounded the eldest lady Liu.The eldest lady Liu was seriously ill a few days ago, and everyone in the house knew about it. Now they just think that she has not recovered her health, and no one has said anything. Even the fourth lady, Jin, does not want to have more arguments and personally talks to the third lady. Mrs. Qian sent Mrs. Liu back to the courtyard together.

"It's such a happy day for the eldest lady..." Standing outside the main courtyard door, Zhang's mother couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

Su Chengying looked in the direction of the courtyard of the big house, half-smiling but not smiling, "Our eldest lady is not trying to deal with the fourth lady, she is clearly trying to create problems for me."

Zhang’s mother was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although everyone in the house wants to show their respect for Master Jingyu’s marriage, how to express it is not simple. It’s like the ladies of each house cannot give more than the eldest lady, and the eldest lady cannot exceed the old lady. This is not good. It took the limelight that it shouldn't have.

The eldest lady Liu is in charge of the palace. The money in each courtyard must be handed over to the eldest lady Liu first. The money will not be sent to the fourth house until the eldest lady Liu informs the old lady.

It happened that before Su Chengying could ask the old lady how much money each hospital had taken, the eldest lady Liu fell ill. Now the eldest lady Liu was lying on the bed. How could Her Royal Highness ask the old lady these things at this time?
"Wouldn't it mean that if Her Royal Highness the Princess gives too much or too little, she will lose the conversation?" Zhang's mother thought for a while and then said, "Why don't Your Highness the Princess hold back a little and let the old slave find a chance to ask the old lady tomorrow?" ?”

"The key to gift-giving is to have the right amount and time, so it can't be too much, too little, too early, too late." Su Chengying really admired Mrs. Liu, and she couldn't think of digging holes for her all the time. It was really hard work Mrs. Liu’s intentions are very good.

When they returned to Jiaziyuan, Su Chengying told Musk the amount and asked Musk to pick up the banknotes. The business of the shop had been getting better recently, and there was no need to live a timid life anymore.

Later, Su Chengying called Qiu Wen in front of her again, "Madam is not in good health, so there is no need for Madam to do this little thing for me. You can personally deliver the banknote to the fourth room."

Mother Zhang on the side looked at the number of banknotes and exclaimed, "Your Highness, is it too much?"

Su Chengying smiled. The eldest lady Liu must have noticed that the fourth lady Jin was getting close to her, so she planned this. If she is really stingy this time, she will definitely leave a gap with the fourth lady Jin. .

Therefore, it is better to have more money than less money.

As for the eldest lady Liu...

Now that the plot is on her head, don't blame her for stepping on her to win some people's hearts.

When the fourth lady Jin saw the silver note, she was dumbfounded. She knew that Princess Tang would never treat her badly, but she never expected that it would be such a sum.

After the eldest lady Liu heard the amount that Su Chengying sent, she was so shocked that she went directly to the courtyard of the fourth room. She wanted to share the stolen goods and label Su Chengying as disrespectful, but as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Qiu Qiu. Wen's voice mixed with the cold night wind blew into her ears.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess said that she was able to earn money thanks to the old lady's trust and the Dongfang family's shop. Now the extra money is divided among the ladies of each house, and everyone gives it to Young Master Jingyu, but the eldest lady only No need, she is the mistress of the house after all, and it is not good for Her Royal Highness to overshadow the eldest lady."

Madam Liu, "..."
