Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 87
Li Yunshang, who had fainted on the ground, had already been carried back by the girl and mother-in-law. The second wife, Li Zhulan, was still leaning on Zhou Chaoshun's arms, crying pear blossoms with rain. North and south, the second wife of Qian's face was pale and frightening, Mrs. Yang's hand holding her mother-in-law was crumbling, and when she saw Li Yunshang, she felt that the sky was about to collapse.

I don’t know how to send away Mrs. Qian and Zhou Chaoshun. When Mrs. Yang gave the password to everyone, she was so stern that her eyes could kill people. Li Yunshang had already woken up and almost died crying. She said that it was the girl Yuye from Qingtongyuan who invited her to go to the flower garden to enjoy the flowers. All the girls in Ziyunju saw this. He walked to Mrs. Yang unhurriedly, and said in a neutral tone, "Should I just say that in public, or should you save yourself some face?"

Mrs. Yang was so angry that she could not stop shaking her hands, but she still pushed back everyone. Yue Niang kept looking her up and down, and said with a smile: "Our fifth lady said that even if the cat in Qingtong Courtyard loses a hair, The third lady had a private meeting with Zhou Chaoshun, so no one should try to keep it a secret. By the way, our fifth lady also said that for the sake of the third lady, she didn't tell you about the fact that you robbed the Xu family. You shouldn't be fussy, but you shouldn't push yourself too hard, since you've done it." Yue Niang spread her hands and sighed, "Then there's nothing we can do about it, our fifth lady has such a temper, alas, you can ask for more blessings." After finishing speaking, Yue Niang Sighing again, he turned and left.

Before Mrs. Yang could swallow this breath, the second wife, Mrs. Xu and Li Zhulan's biological mother, Aunt Wei, rushed in crying all the way. After rushing into the room, they threw themselves on the ground and cried loudly. Mrs. Yang actually invited the outsider into the inner house in the backyard , this foreign man walked around in the backyard at will, casually belittling the second wife Li Zhulan, how can the second wife behave like this?If there is no answer to this matter, then go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit!

Mrs. Yang's eyes went dark, and she fainted.

Grandma Zhou was terrified when she saw it, and she was terrified after muttering to Nanny Xiao: "Fifth Lady's method is too cruel, just like that..." Grandma Zhou spread her hands, she didn't know what to say, Nanny Xiao Mammy shuddered lightly: "She just slapped her directly, so what can Madam do? She can only swallow it, and if she really wants to make a fuss, the third lady will be the first one to put her in it. This is something I can't afford to offend."

"We don't have to mess with her. The lady left the matter to me again, and asked me to go back and talk to my second aunt tomorrow. It's all going on like this. Telling the second lady to the fifth child, it's a shame. What should I say? She's lost all face!" Grandma Zhou thought of the trouble Mrs. Yang just threw into her hands, and she was so annoyed that she wanted to throw something.

In the pavilion on the lake behind the Qingfeng Building, the Fifth Prince Qin Jun was wearing a light gauze shirt, blowing the breeze that came across the lake with the fragrance of lotus flowers and leaves, shaking his feet on stilts for a while, pinching his fingers with three fingers. Holding a thin transparent jade cup, slowly sipping the light green tea in the jade cup, Huang Jingjie sat in the corner of the couch, slowly lighting the tea, and chatting leisurely.

"My former son, Dr. Huang, was going to Duke Wen's Mansion with Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Jiang. I heard from Imperial Physician Hu that Princess Ningguo's days are numbered. It seems that she is really seriously ill this time."

"If it wasn't for Ningguo, he would definitely not be able to make it through. How could daddy be willing to recall Wu Chenglin?" The fifth prince said casually, shaking his feet. Wu Chenglin, but Wu Chenglin has been away from Beijing for half a year, and he hasn't walked out of Hebei Road yet, and the officials haven't said a word, so it's hard to guess what the officials are thinking."

"Well, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and it would be a disaster to guess it. If Ningguo is gone, Wu Chenglin will have to observe filial piety when he comes back this trip. After three years, the matter of guarding the border will be over. I'm afraid Wu Sishen will bite him with hatred. Broken teeth."

"Well, Wu Chenglin came back halfway, this catastrophe is considered to have allowed him to escape, I'm afraid there will be no such good opportunity in the future, Wu Sishen has hated him for more than twenty years, but to avenge this, alas, how difficult it is."

"It's nothing difficult. Once Ning Guo dies, Wu Chenglin will be a piece of fat on the chopping board. Tell Wu Sishen to fight a few battles and make more military exploits. There will be more opportunities in the future. This matter of revenge, of course, killing him with a single knife will be very happy. , But if you want to talk about resolving hatred, you still need to cut slowly with a knife, and watch a little bit of torture to relieve your anger. If you are tortured to the point where life is worse than death, and you can't live or die, then it's really revenge."

The fifth prince said with great yearning, Huang Jingjie frowned and looked at him and shook his head, took the cup in his hand and refilled the tea ceremony: "There has been no war at the border for many years, and it is not easy to make military achievements. The military exploits used for revenge are not small military exploits."

"Well, the border." The fifth prince slowly sipped his tea, staring at the lake full of greenery for a while, and then turned to look at Huang Jingjie and said: "The northwest border has been quiet for ten years. Since Emperor Xuan of Beiyan came to the throne, Make great efforts to rule, and the national power has greatly increased. In the past few years, several tribes such as Weiman and Wuyi have been subdued, and the troubles in the extreme north have been quelled. This Emperor Xuan is an ambitious and talented master. It's been a long time."

Huang Jingjie's hand pouring tea froze in the air, looking at the fifth prince, he was stunned for a moment before he said: "Before the official came to the throne, Beiyan was almost destroyed in a battle, so this Emperor Xuan dared to start a war lightly?" The fifth prince glanced at Huang Jingjie, looked down at the light green tea in the cup, and said slowly: "It's not up to him to start the war, Beiyan's national power has grown too fast in recent years, Ping Weiman, Wu Yi Afterwards, the military strength has increased greatly, and Emperor Xuan is too good at governing, if they don't take advantage of their fledgling and destroy Beiyan, how can father be at ease?"

"Uh." After a moment of sluggishness, Huang Jingjie coughed a few times, lowered his head and drank a few sips of tea, looked up at the Fifth Prince, hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "According to this, the resumption of the Northwest War will only take a year or two." What about it? If this is the case, do you want the family to prepare for it?"

"This money is not easy to earn." The fifth prince was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Once the battle starts, it will be a great contribution. How many years can Father's body last? It's important, it's important, there must be many people watching, but even if you grab this great achievement, you can inherit the great power? Don't forget, the great achievement that beat Beiyan to the point of destroying the country back then was the second uncle's, In the end, it was Dad who took over the throne, and no one can say for sure until the end of the battle for the reserve, let's, alas." The fifth prince sighed: "It's better not to stretch out this hand, and stability is the first priority."

Huang Jingjie nodded: "That's true, wealth and wealth are found in insurance, but this insurance is too dangerous, we will not commit it."

"Well, Wu Sishen has a special background and is very secretive. Let the family spend more time on him. If this battle can make Wu Sishen stand out and make a few great contributions, then in the future." The corner of the fifth prince's mouth raised upwards , smiled very happily: "If he can guard one side, this will be a great long-term benefit."

"That's true." Huang Jingjie said with a deep smile, "I'll write a letter to my family right away. In this battle, we will only use our efforts on Wu Sishen."

In the Yongguo mansion, the second wife, Li Zhulan, refuses to eat and drink, and looks for death and life. Aunt Wei grabs the second master Li Zhong and cries all kinds of things.Grandma Zhou went to and from Duke Yongguo's Mansion and Dongyibo Mansion two or three times a day under the scorching heat, but the Second Mrs. Qian was not easy to get along with. They were all broken, and several layers of lip service were worn away. Finally, they made an agreement that Zhou Chaoshun's dowry should not be less than 5000 taels of silver.As for Li Zhulan, in addition to the dowry due to her share, Mrs. Yang took out another 500 taels of silver to add makeup to Li Zhulan, and the eldest lady Li Yuerong came forward and told Li Zhulan to a small official in the Ministry of Punishment.That settles the matter.

According to the rules of the Yongguo Mansion, the dowry of 500 taels for prostitutes and 1000 taels for concubine daughters, Mrs. Yang posted 500 taels of silver to Li Zhulan, and then made up the 5000 taels of dowry for Li Yutang. 5000 taels of silver were pasted in.Her dowry was not much left. It was originally divided into three parts, one son and two daughters, one share. The eldest lady Li Yuerong had already taken one third when she got married. While happy, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She had inquired about the two daughters-in-law of the Xu family. According to her original plan, it would be more than 5000 taels. This amount could not be sustained anyway. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to discuss with her son that the remaining two shares should be given to Li Yunshang as a dowry. Anyway, I can get a dowry of 5000 yuan, at least not much less than the Xu family's second daughter-in-law. Li Xiaozu is honest and honest, so naturally he has nothing to say. Mrs. Yang just breathed a sigh of relief, but such an incident happened. The 5000 taels of silver Li Xiaozu's share was not enough, and Li Yunshang's dowry was nowhere near 5000 taels, not even Li Yutang's. Mrs. Yang's breath was stuck in her heart, and she fell ill before she took out the money.

Grandma Zhou was even more angry than Mrs. Yang. The subsidy was all her money. Mrs. Yang fell ill, so she fell ill. I had no choice but to throw the child to my mother-in-law, and ran to the Yongguo Mansion every day to take care of these big and small things. After the ceremony was finished, the busy person lost a lot of weight.

This marriage went wrong, Yu Yaofang only felt that it was her own fault, and felt very guilty, so she came to Qingtong Courtyard to talk with Li Tian when she had time, but Lin Ke was more diligent than her, Li Tian talked about the marriage, no matter what I didn't dare to let Lin Ke know that Yu Yaofang came several times, but she didn't find a chance to talk to Li Tian about it. This afternoon, Lin Ke went to Puji Temple to visit her sister Lin Wen. Yu Yaofang finally found a chance to talk to Li Tian. talk.

"Don't think about it too much, what does this have to do with you and your aunt?" Before she could speak, Li Tian spoke first, and Yu Yaofang said angrily, "It has nothing to do with my aunt, but it has something to do with my aunt. I really didn't expect my aunt to do such a thing, she promised so well, but turned around and put on such a big oolong, what is this?"

"I can't blame her." Li Tian said calmly, "They are all thinking of their children. The third sister has both parents and a gentle temperament. She is indeed a rare good wife and mother. She is also a good match with Brother Nine. Let's not talk about this, everyone It's over."

"Well, my mother is very sad. She just said that brother Jiu is not blessed. If you don't say it, you won't say it. Anyway, you are still young, and my mother also said it before. If you are engaged, you will have to marry in three years at most. In the past, you were only fourteen this year, and my aunt said that it would take three years, and it would be too early to get married at 17, and you will have children after you get married, too young is not good, and having children is a hell's door."

Li Tian lowered her eyes, feeling her mouth was full of bitterness, the reason she was anxious to get engaged and married, she had to be bored in her heart, unable to say a word.

"Let's not talk about this, how is your father doing recently? Nothing happened, right? Where is Yaoxian? Nothing happened?" Li Tian changed the subject, and Yu Yaofang twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "How dare he?" What happened? After this trip, everything else is fine. It’s just this son-in-law, he has remembered it in his heart. Now he is tossing about some secret prescriptions every day, looking for someone to diagnose my mother’s pulse and recuperate her body. My son clearly told him that none of the folk remedies and secret remedies will work, and that my mother's all illnesses come from a single anger. A few days ago, my mother picked an honest and responsible family to give birth to a son, and she wanted to open her face and put him in the house to wait on him.
