Charming bone fragrance, concubine this snake and scorpion

Xiangsi asked Leng Rutong in puzzlement: "Miss, are we going back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"

Leng Rutong sighed and patted her on the shoulder: "Xiang Si, we don't even have a dowry now, so we can eat and drink whatever we want, and go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

"Cousin, go back to the General's Mansion, my cousin will take care of you." Tang Rufeng said righteously from the side: "Besides, if the money is lost, it's because my cousin didn't fully protect me. I should be responsible."

Leng Rutong shook her head: "Cousin, you still want to marry your sister-in-law, you can't support me forever, besides, it's only natural for me to live in the seventh prince's house. I'd like to see who dares to refuse the marriage that the queen mother refers to."

It must not be a simple person who dared to steal the money under the eyes of so many people. This matter has to be investigated slowly. She is married to the prime minister's mansion and she will definitely not be able to go back. At least it is not easy to go back now. The more than 6000 taels of silver collected from Ye Mingzhu were also placed in the four big boxes. Now she is penniless except for the jewelry on her body.

Dare to steal her cold as pupil's silver and make her so downcast, she wants to see who is so bold, the General's Mansion and the Seventh Prince dare to mess with it together.

Tang Rufeng hired a few carriages in Twilight Village, and a group of people went back in the carriages. Leng Rutong's carriage drove directly to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Although she was not afraid of rumors, she didn't want to be judged by others after all, so she didn't go all the way. stopped.

After getting off the carriage, Xiangsi asked the guards in the mansion to notify the steward.Ye Fengya is not in Yege City all the year round, but she still seals the mansion, has her own land, and enjoys all kinds of benefits of the prince. When he is not in Yege City, he is taken care of by the mansion.

Not long after, the person in charge ran out. He was an uncle in his fifties, with delicate features, and he didn't look like a fraudulent person. When he saw Leng Rutong who should be in Wudang Mountain, he was surprised: "The emperor Why did the concubine come back?"

Leng Rutong felt that the steward was very smart, although Ye Fengya's attitude towards her had changed drastically, and she didn't even intend to give her a title, but the steward treated her like a concubine.

She smiled: "I'll be back when I'm done. The Seventh Prince thinks I shouldn't stay in Wudang Mountain." Leng Rutong said lightly and walked into the mansion, and asked as she walked, "What's your name?"

The steward followed closely behind her and said respectfully, "Concubine Hui, my servant's surname is Zhao, you can call me steward Zhao."

"Then Manager Zhao, please take care of me in the future." Leng Rutong walked in front, she was no stranger to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, she lived here before, she walked straight to Ye Fengya's wing, and asked while walking: "Where should I live?"

"The imperial concubine is naturally living with the seventh prince." Manager Zhao answered naturally: "But, isn't the queen mother's order to let the imperial concubine stay in Wudang Mountain to clean up?"

"The seventh prince won't let me stay, so I can't help it. He said that there are all men in the mountain, and it's inconvenient for me to stay alone." Leng Rutong casually gave him an answer and came to the door of the wing room. Hurry up and help her open the locker

"The Seventh Prince's room is usually locked when the Seventh Prince is not in Yege City. It will only be opened when cleaning. You will live in the imperial concubine from now on, and this key will be handed over to you." Manager Zhao said solemnly A bronze key was handed to Leng Rutong.

Leng Rutong was a little strange: "I live here every day and I still have to sleep?"

"When the imperial concubine goes out, it's best to drop down, the seventh prince doesn't want others to enter his room." Zhao Guanshi replied to her.

Leng Rutong felt strange holding the key, there should be quite a few servants in this mansion, why should he be so careful, could it be that Ye Fengya has some important things in the room and can't let others know?

But didn't he not accept himself, why did he hand over the key to her so easily, or was it just Guanshi Zhao's wishful thinking, he didn't even know that Ye Fengya's attitude towards her had changed?

"Did you give me this key with the consent of the Seventh Prince?"

"This slave can still be the master. Did the master say when he will return to Yege City?" Manager Zhao is obviously the master himself, and his words also show that he is a very trusted person in Ye Fengya's heart.

"Maybe I'll come back after offering sacrifices to heaven, maybe I won't come back forever." Leng Rutong replied lightly, and walked into the room, leaving Guanshi Zhao standing by the door thoughtfully.

After running around for a long time, Leng Rutong took a bath and then fell asleep. The injuries on his hands and feet were almost healed because of the medicinal wine, but there were still some bruises, but they could no longer hinder his actions.After Leng Rutong fell asleep, Xiangsi worked for a long time, arranging all the clothes and daily necessities.

Sitting in the wing room, looking at the sleeping lady, Xiangsi felt emotional for some reason. This is the lady's new home. There is no marriage, no welcome, and the result of the long journey is the rejection of the Seventh Prince. She doesn't understand why the lady She just chose the seventh prince, and in her heart she likes the third prince more. Although the third prince is cold to others, he can tell the difference when he treats the young lady.

But Miss has her own thoughts, so it is inconvenient for her to say anything.Now that they are penniless, they can only rely on the seventh prince's mansion. I don't know when this uncle will be willing to face the young lady. Even if he can't have children with the young lady, at least he should respect him as a guest.

Once the young lady comes back, the news will spread again in Yege City tomorrow, my misfortune young lady, why is there no one who treats her sincerely?Xiangsi sighed, closed the door and went to the kitchen. If others treat Miss badly, she has to treat Miss even better and cook some dishes she likes.

****

In the side hall of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Guanshi Zhao carefully observed the surrounding environment, pressed a vase on the table, the bookcase next to it moved to the left, and a secret room appeared, Guanshi Zhao walked in, and moved the bookcase again Back to the original position.

The secret room is very big, with a bed, a stone table, and four big red boxes. There is a person sitting in it. He is none other than Ma Badao who went to see off Chong Qi's relatives. Manager Zhao scolded him when he saw him: "You said you, how could you snatch the imperial concubine's dowry." 13acv.

Ma Badao touched his big knife, and said helplessly: "My lord told me to bring the imperial concubine into the Seventh Prince's Mansion. She is not allowed to go to the General's Mansion, nor is she allowed to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What can I do? She was robbed of her dowry, so if she has no money, she will naturally go back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

"You don't know who the imperial concubine is. If you dare to steal her things, don't ask for help if you are caught." Manager Zhao blamed him. You say he has no brains, and he knows how to use this trick. You Let's say he has brains, even the imperial concubine dares to offend, the imperial concubine is not an ordinary woman, she is very smart, when she clears her mind, she will naturally think of Ma Badao.

"Also, if you rob it, you rob it. What do you want to bring to the mansion, you can kill the door with blood!" Zhao Guanshi continued to mutter. I was terrified. When I first saw the imperial concubine, my heart trembled, fearing that the imperial concubine would know.

Although the master is ignoring her now, he knows better than anyone else how much the master likes the concubine. He even tried his best to get the three worms and three brains here for her. Ba Dao was so bullied that he didn't even have a penny on him, so he had to skin Ma Ba Dao.

"Anyway, it's the concubine's stuff, so let's put it in the mansion. If she really wants to pursue it then, Guanshi Zhao, you can say that I brought the money back for her first." Seeing Guanshi Zhao keep saying that the concubine is very powerful It seems that Ma Badao is also a little worried. Is he afraid of the imperial concubine? What he is afraid of is the master. On the surface, the master ignores the imperial concubine, but he is specially sent to protect him along the way.

"Did you tell me when to return?" Manager Zhao is most concerned about this. Now that the concubine is in the mansion, should he hand over the account book to the concubine? What is the attitude of the lord towards the concubine? I didn't understand, obviously I like him, but I am so stubborn.

Although there is indeed a reason for the master not to get married, why can't he explain clearly to the imperial concubine, although the imperial concubine is tough, she seems to be a sensible girl, smart women are generally easy to talk to, just like the dead concubine Ying.

"There is no instruction. The Queen Mother wants the Lord to sacrifice to the heavens. Why don't you go back after offering sacrifices to the heavens?"

"Okay, go back to the blood and kill the door to hide. Don't let the concubine find you these days, or you will die." Manager Zhao pushed Ma Badao to the side of the stone wall. There is a mechanism there, and there is a passage to open to the outside.

It used to lead to the Xueshamen stronghold. After the stronghold was discovered by the third prince, this passage was killed to avoid being discovered. In the past two days, the passage was changed to Jiaozhuang.

After Ma Badao left, Guanshi Zhao sat in the secret room and thought for a while, went out of the secret room to his own room, opened a bronze box, took out all the land deeds, ledgers and jade seals, and sent them to Leng Rutong. Go to the wing.

Leng Rutong has just woken up and is eating the dinner carefully prepared by Xiangsi. According to Xiangsi, there are not many servants in the house, only three or four cleaning maids, and the rest are guards, and there are quite a few guards , Counting twenty or thirty.

Leng Rutong really felt that it was a waste. An empty mansion had to support so many people. How could he get so much money for a prince with no power? What's more, Ye Fengya's clothes are all extremely luxurious, the quilt is made of gold silk brocade, the jade couch is made of pure blue jade, and even the bowl for eating is made of extremely rare white porcelain.

She suddenly discovered that she actually knew very little about the husband she had chosen.

Manager Zhao came over just after eating, and Manager Zhao was very respectful to her. When he saw her eating, he stood aside and waited for her to finish. Rutong has a lot of opinions when eating at the same table.

Leng Rutong smiled: "Officer Zhao, although Xiangsi is my maidservant, she is like a sister to me. If it wasn't for her when I was young, I probably wouldn't have grown up."

Zhao Guanshi's face changed and he immediately apologized: "The servant knows." He remembered that the seventh prince said that this young lady Leng grew up hard, and only this maid was with her. Since she said so, he naturally dare not If there is any opinion, after all, this is the master's business. Although he watched the seventh prince grow up, he always felt that he was a slave in his heart.

Leng Rutong finished eating quickly, looked at the things in Zhao Guanshi's hands and asked in confusion: "Why is Zhao Guanshi looking for me so urgently?"

Manager Zhao hurriedly put the things in his hands on the table: "The seventh prince is not in the mansion, and you are the biggest master, the concubine. Originally, because there is no master in the mansion, these are all handled by the slaves. Now you are here, the concubine. I'll leave it to you."

Leng Rutong flipped through it curiously: "Give me the ledger, the title deed, all of these?" Could Manager Zhao be too talkative? She thought that she was the mistress of the mansion anyway, and she should get some rights over here. Who knows that she didn't even open her mouth, but Manager Zhao just gave her everything. Did he respect her so much, or did he have another purpose?

"Aren't you afraid that you don't understand these things?" Miss Leng was an official lady, but she never ate enough meals since she was a child, and she never learned about accounting.

Zhao Guanshi chuckled: "The imperial concubine doesn't understand, so I can teach you."

Leng Rutong stared at him closely, trying to see some clues from his placid face, no matter how Nai looked at him, he could only see loyalty from his face. . .Loyalty, he was so loyal to her, the heroine, so easily?

Leng Rutong sighed and pushed the things back to him: "You should take care of these things, I was only able to give the seventh prince the title of imperial concubine because of an imperial decree from the queen mother. In fact, you and I both understand that we and the seven The prince can only be in name only, the seventh prince may not want me to take care of things at all."

She only wants power, as long as she can speak well in the mansion, if she really wants to manage so many accounts, then she must not be exhausted.What's more, there are no other transactions in this house, after all, they are all small accounts of business transactions, and she is overkill to manage them!

"The imperial concubine's words are wrong. Since the imperial concubine has promised to the master, she is naturally the mistress of the house. There is no need to question this." The last thing Zhao Guanshi wants to see is the estrangement between the two people. Because of my father's difficulties, he can only do his best to make them less estranged, so as not to cause a big misunderstanding in the end.

"These are left here with the imperial concubine. The slave has something to do, so I will leave first." Zhao Guanshi retreated after finishing speaking, afraid that Leng Rutong would push back again, he could only accept the mistress in his own way.

Leng Rutong looked at Guanshi Zhao's back and felt more and more puzzled, as if he finally threw out the hot potato.Leng Rutong suspiciously picked up the ledger and flipped through it. It was good if she didn't flip through it, but she was startled when she flipped through it. Ye Fengya turned out to be so rich!

She thought that Ye Fengya was rewarded with a few pieces of land at most, and he was a land rich man, but she didn't expect that half of the shops on Qingfeng Street belonged to him!Nima, isn't this comparable to Ye Qianzhi?

Each store can collect 10,000+ taels a year in rent. . .He even had a bank, and what surprised Leng Rutong was that Jiaozhuang was opened by Ye Fengya?Where did Ye Fengya get so much money? When the emperor entrusted the land, he would definitely not reward them with shops or anything. At most, it would be gold or land.

Ye Fengya has stayed in Wudang Mountain for 20 years, so how do these businesses do?Is Manager Zhao doing it all for him?Where did he get his money?She found that she really didn't know anything about this Daoist husband.

Sijie sisters again.She even only knew that his mother concubine Concubine Ying was kicked out of the palace because of a crime, and the emperor never took Concubine Ying back to the palace, and that was how Ye Fengya was sent to Wudang Mountain. The status of prince is also after the coming-of-age ceremony.

No one knows what happened to their mother and son after they were kicked out of the palace. Could it be that Concubine Suspect earned such a large fortune by doing business after she was kicked out of the palace?

But no one in Yege City knew that these properties belonged to Yefengya. Did he hide it on purpose or because he was naturally low-key?

Leng Rutong suddenly felt that Manager Zhao wanted to tell her something by stuffing these things to her, what did he want to tell her?Why don't you just say it?Leng Rutong suddenly realized that the ledger and title deed were really hot potatoes, if she accidentally lost them or let others snatch them, wouldn't she be guilty of a serious crime!

She hurriedly locked the things carefully into the cabinet, drew a picture with a brush, locked the door and took Xiangsi to the street.

"Miss, we don't have much money now, what do you want to buy when you go to the street?" Xiangsi asked curiously after her.

"Look for a blacksmith..." All Ye Fengya's belongings are in her hands, and she has to find a way to make it impossible for others to steal it. "Do you know who the best blacksmith in Nightsong City is?"

Xiangsi shook her head: "I don't know, but miss, we'd better not go out on the street now, let others know that you came back from Wudang Mountain, I'm afraid it will..."

"I can't control that much now." Manager Zhao handed over the things to her, no matter what the purpose was, she must protect them well, and she thought about it, Ye Fengya must want to do something with so much property, Since she doesn't know so many of his secrets, she will hold on to his property, and then he will have to tell her about it.

Could it be that Manager Zhao wanted to tell her this?That's not right, Guanshi Zhao has been with Ye Fengya for so many years, it's impossible for her to stand by her side as soon as she comes?

The two of them walked to Wuyi Street, where there are many blacksmith shops, Leng Rutong showed the drawings to the blacksmiths, and asked them if they could make such a thing, almost all the blacksmiths shook their heads, Leng Rutong Tong also knew that the ancient blacksmiths were not as advanced as modern ones. It is easy for modern people to make Jiulianhuan, but it was very difficult for ancient blacksmiths. Besides, their iron tools are basically large. The first blacksmith will do.

Leng Rutong came out of the blacksmith's shop in disappointment again. The blacksmith's shop was so hot that she was sweating profusely. Xiangsi quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. At this moment, a malicious voice came out. A voice sounded from a distance: "Oh, who do I think this is? Isn't this Miss Leng who married far away in Wudang Mountain? Why did she appear here?"

Accompanied by this sound, many passers-by cast their eyes on Leng Rutong. Leng Rutong stood there and looked at the troubled Leng Ruxiu coldly. How could this dead girl just appear here!

It really complied with that sentence: Enemy's road is narrow.

"Seventh Prince Concubine, why didn't you stay with the Seventh Prince at Wudang Mountain? You came back only two days after getting married, and I didn't see you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." It's extremely dazzling.

"I don't need to worry about this, Third Sister, you should spend more time on yourself." Leng Rutong didn't want to get entangled with her, since she still has other things to do now, there is no time to argue with her.

"How can I not bother, eldest sister, you must have gone to Wudang Mountain and the Seventh Prince didn't want you, so you had no choice but to come back by yourself. Also, the Seventh Prince is a priest with a pure body, and you shamelessly asked the Queen Mother to give you a marriage. It's normal if he doesn't want you, big sister, don't take it to heart, remember to go back to the prime minister's residence." Leng Ruxiu's words pierced Leng Rutong's heart like a needle.

"Don't worry, I'll come back." Leng Rutong showed her a half-hearted smile and went on to find her blacksmith.

Leng Ruxiu stood there and looked at her sarcastically: "What are you pretending to be noble, I really thought that marrying the prince is the imperial concubine, and it's just that no one wants it, just picking up an identity."

Leng Rutong heard her disdain and answered her: "Third sister also has to find an identity quickly, but a concubine will be bullied in the mansion."

Leng Ruxiu was so angry that she stomped there. Whether she was a concubine or not was decided by her original wife, that is, she would marry wherever Ye Mingzhu arranged for her to marry. That's why she was always respectful to Leng Ruling and the others. , because she was afraid of offending them, who told her that she didn't have a good grandfather, unlike Leng Rutong, who could still be so beautiful even after her death.

In the following time, Leng Rutong's ears were not at peace. After Leng Ruxiu made such an obvious statement, everyone was discussing that the eldest lady of the Leng family married Wudang Mountain and was driven back by the Seventh Prince.Some people said that she was unclean, and the Seventh Prince definitely didn't want her, but he just didn't want to resist the emperor's order.

Anyway, there are all kinds of unpleasant things, and occasionally there will be a few people who will help her talk, Leng Rutong feels that her whole mind is in a mess, whether she is good or bad, whether she marries or not, it's their business, and it's all right She is not afraid of rumors, but the discussion becomes the object of other people's entertainment.

"Master, don't you want to say hello to Ms. Leng?" Ye Qianzhi in light yellow was parading Princess An Xin through the street. Sheng Yu saw the movement and told him, but Ye Qianzhi just stood quietly. Waiting for Princess An Xin to choose jewelry, there was no sign of saying hello, Sheng Yu couldn't help asking.

"She is the Seventh Imperial Concubine now, wouldn't it be more disgusting to say hello?" Ye Qianzhi replied blankly for thousands of years. He was really surprised that Leng Rutong came back so soon, but he was even more surprised. Even if she dared to go out on the street like this, sometimes he really felt that this woman was so bold that she lost her mind.

Ye Qianzhi looked away, and went to Princess An Xin to patiently choose jewelry for her.Shengyu was at a loss for what to do, why did the master suddenly change so much to Miss Leng, is it really different after getting married?

Isn't it time for Miss Leng to need comfort?Still, like everyone else, I am afraid of gossip.

Leng Rutong felt a gaze staring at her, she immediately turned her head and found no one, she shook her head, feeling that she had been confused by these rumors, she still wanted to live in Yege City, always being so Pointing and pointing is not an option, she thought for a while, instead of letting them point and point, she might as well explain it herself.
