Chapter 178 Webster's Secret Weapon (1)

Wei Sang lowered his eyes, walked up to the Empress Dowager Wei very steadily, and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Wei held her hand, looked her over from head to toe quietly, and then nodded slightly:
"Yes, if you are free, you might as well come and talk to me often."

Wei Sang blushed slightly: "Yes."

Still bowing his head, he retreated behind Mrs. Liang Hou, and stood upright without squinting.

Concubine Lu Taigui smiled and said: "Yo, this girl looks strange, may I ask which girl is Mrs. Lianghou's first girl? Or, which girl is Webster's first room?"

Mrs. Lianghou smiled faintly, and bowed slightly: "As far as my mother is concerned, this girl is ranked fourteenth in the family, because she is young and well-behaved, the elders and brothers and sisters in the family love her, and they are reluctant to let her out to make trouble.

All I want is to let her stay for two more years and find a good family.Therefore, the empress does not recognize her. "

Concubine Lu Taigui sneered: "I don't understand Mrs. Lianghou's words, it's good that Fourteenth Niang wants to find a good family.

The question is, if she wants to find a good family, does it have anything to do with whether I recognize her or not?Could it be that if she sees me, she won't be able to find a good family? "

This is pure fault finding.

It stands to reason that Lu Shi and Wei Shi had just had a rift, and when Lu Shi was keeping a low profile with his tail between his legs, Concubine Lu suddenly jumped up to provoke trouble, why?
Zhong Weiwei looked at Concubine Lu Taigui calmly, and indeed saw a trace of fear in the depths of her eyes.

Could it be that Wei Sang, who looks weak and weak, is difficult to deal with?

Zhong Weiwei looked at Lu Chun again.

Lu Chun was calm and didn't show any expression that shouldn't be there, but he also stared at Wei Sang intently.

Wei Sang kept his head down, as if what they said had nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Liang Hou smiled, and said neither soft nor hard: "The imperial concubine and concubines don't understand what the concubines are saying. It's very easy for our Wei family girls to find a good family."

Concubine Lu Taigui rolled her eyes, and said cunningly: "Of course, so many elders are concerned about it, why don't I come and be a matchmaker for her?"

Zhong Weiwei had already vaguely guessed Wei Sang's usefulness—it was the candidate proposed by Webster to replace Wei Rou.

She looked at Wei Sang again, wanting to see what kind of reaction Wei Sang would have to Concubine Lu's proposal.

According to the general situation, when ordinary girls hear that their enemies want to control their marriage fate, they are always anxious and worried;
Those who are deeply scheming will not show their expressions, and will be calm and calm, just pretending not to hear.

And this Weissang girl actually blushed a lot and looked very shy, which made people feel very pitiful and cute, and it was difficult to feel disgusted.

Zhong Weiwei sighed secretly, no wonder Concubine Lu Taigui and Lu Chun are facing a big enemy, Wei Sang is probably Webster's hidden trump card.

It should have been prepared for Wei Rou's failure a long time ago, and finally waited and pushed Wei Sang out immediately.

She imagined wildly, wondering if this shy and cute girl Wei Sang was the one who secretly sent two thousand gold to the envoy of Fan Zhou under Wei Rou's name, and then deliberately left behind her waist card?
If so, it is simply a poisonous snake.

Concubine Lu Taigui is going to be a matchmaker. This time, without waiting for Mrs. Lianghou to refuse, Empress Dowager Wei spoke directly, in a very intimate tone:

"You old bastard! Nothing to add to the chaos! Didn't you see the eldest son of the emperor still sitting here?
Talk nonsense in front of children!I really want to be a matchmaker. You have so many nieces in your family, why don't you do it? "

Empress Dowager Wei said it kindly, but everyone present knew that she was really cursing Concubine Lu Taigui as an immortal.

Scold the Lu family for being nosy, or marry Lu's daughter first, or stop making comparisons.

Concubine Lu Taigui sneered, lowered her head and drank tea:

"That's right, why am I so careless? Wei Shi's daughter has the empress dowager and Wei Rou as examples, and Madam Lianghou is taking care of her. It's not a trivial matter to want to marry a good family?"

Covering her mouth again: "I'm sorry, I forgot to mention Wei Rou."

Madam Lianghou's eyes turned red quickly, and she glared at Concubine Lv Taigui with hatred.

Concubine Lu Taigui ignored her, and sighed: "If you want me to say, Wei Rou is too impatient, alas, she is confused, it's not counted if she is confused, and she has dragged other people down, this is really..."

Lu Chun stopped her in time: "Your Majesty, please don't say a few words, this is a big festival..."

Concubine Lv Taigui smiled, and cast a wink at Zhong Weiwei: "Yes, the sufferer didn't complain, what am I, an outsider watching the fun, meddling with? Right, Zhong Tongshi?"

Dozens of eyes fell on Zhong Weiwei at the same time, and Zhong Weiwei pretended to be stupid: "Ah? What did the imperial concubine say?
Forgive me, last night the eldest son of the emperor didn't sleep well, the officials took care of him all the time, almost never closed his eyes, now his mind is in chaos, he didn't hear anything. "

Immediately, the concubine who made friends with Zhong Weiwei rounded up the field: "Seeing how stupid she is, I knew she was distracted."

Wei Sang raised his eyes, took a gentle look at Zhong Weiwei, and then smiled friendlyly at Zhong Weiwei, apparently understanding her difficulties.

Still familiar.

Zhong Weiwei also became alert.

Concubine Lu Taigui looked at it coldly, showing an unknown smile, and got up enchantingly to leave:

"Empress Dowager, my concubine has committed a crime and cannot serve in front of you. Please allow me."

Empress Dowager Wei drooped her eyelids and said after a long time, "Go."

When Concubine Lu Taigui passed by Zhong Weiwei, she stopped, straightened her hairpin affectionately, and said in a low voice:

"Be careful, the Wei family spent a lot of money. [-] mu of high-quality tea gardens, plus a thousand acres of fertile land south of the Lanyi River to support His Majesty's new tax policy, guess whether His Majesty will be tempted?"

Zhong Weiyi had a surprised face: "So good? Excuse me, Ma'am, how much is the Lu family planning to pay? Webster is so generous, presumably Lu Taishi will not be too stingy, right?"

Concubine Lu Taigui didn't get the expected effect, so she walked away.

Even knowing that she was provoking, Zhong Weiwei's mood inevitably turned bad.

She knew that Chonghua wanted to implement a new tax policy and wanted to encourage people to grow not only tea trees, but also other types of crops.

Encourage sericulture in the south of the Lanyi River, which is suitable for sericulture growth, so as to reduce Li's dependence on tea trade.

But it's not an easy task.

As early as Emperor Yong's period, Emperor Yong had already realized this problem and tried his best to reverse this situation, but encountered many resistances.

The biggest resistance comes from the rich and nobles.

These wealthy nobles occupied the best and most expansive land in the country of Li, and they were not willing to compromise their own interests at all.

Wei Shi and Lu Shi are the best among them, and they refused to follow.

Emperor Yong had nothing to do about it, and the New Deal came to an end after only half a year.

He drank his sorrows with wine, and said to her: "I am an incompetent emperor, and I can only pin my hopes on Chonghua."
