boudoir

Chapter 114

When Nie was pointed at her nose and scolded like that, she felt guilty, and took a few steps back to stabilize her heels. Seeing that Yu was so angry, she didn't have a chance to say the countermeasures she had planned on the way, so she had to Keep your head down and wait until she finishes the fire.

Pointing to the door, Yu approached her and said, "You are doing well now, you have made money and made a lot of money, but I still have to pay a husband for nothing. Tell me, what are you so worried about?!"

Nie swallowed her saliva and forced a smile: "According to me, my sister-in-law is too impatient. Isn't there something wrong with my uncle now? Why are you so out of control? What kind of person is your uncle? That is a person who has been fighting in front of the Holy Majesty for decades in the officialdom, how can he be put down by this little thing?"

Yu Shi gritted her teeth and said, "You speak lightly. It's not your husband-in-law, so it feels so easy to touch your upper teeth with your lower teeth! What a crime it is to mix mildew in the salary, and now the border customs has closed it on the spot. More than ten people have died, and it is still uncertain what will happen when the crown prince returns to court, if you don’t see our master’s misfortune with your own eyes, you will not be reconciled, will you!”

Mrs. Nie hurriedly said, "We don't even know if the food is moldy. It's all those thugs who cheated money with substandard goods. In the final analysis, we are also the victims!"

"Shut up!" Yu Shi yelled at her, "You still have the face to call him a troublemaker. If it weren't for the low price you paid, would he give you moldy food? If it wasn't for you, you would also want to get it Gao Li, can you go and buy these grains? He also said that he is a troublemaker, and I think you are troublemakers!"

Nie was so scolded that she was speechless, she opened her mouth several times but was unable to speak.After finally waiting for Mrs. Yu to sit down on the couch, he hesitated and said: "Sister-in-law didn't have such an attitude at first. This kind of salary and food money is only a trick to make money. If you buy good food at a high price, Are we unhappy now? Why does sister-in-law blame us all?"

Yu turned her head suddenly, and stared at her like copper bells.She hurriedly said again: "Sister-in-law is really impatient. Since the prince is in charge this time, wouldn't our elder be safer? Don't you forget that when His Royal Highness was ordered to tour the south, the elder could have done him Later, although he joined the Six Departments, the old friendship is still there, and the prince will not let go of the old friendship."

When Yu Shi heard this, her face froze, and the knot between her brows gradually eased. It is true that when the crown prince visited the south more than ten years ago, He Yuli was indeed his personal entourage, and it was precisely because of this trip out of Beijing that he met Xu Niang, and thus the Liuli of today!Later, even though he was transferred to the sixth department, He Yuli and the East Palace have always been in constant contact. Occasionally, she would hear him say a few words about the conflict between the crown prince and King Qing, but unexpectedly, she forgot about it in a hurry. layer!Besides, isn't Nie's own father also the Qing Zhengqing of Dali Temple? The people who went to the border this time also included people from Dali Temple. Could it be that Nie Zhengqing would stand by and watch?

From this point of view, it is indeed possible for He Yuli to turn the danger into a bargain!
She squinted at Nie Shi, after her reminder, her mood was indeed not as anxious as before.But she still couldn't let her go: "That being said, the ending is still unknown. If the Elder Master really can't escape, you can't live in peace!"

Swallowing her saliva, Nie said with a smile, "Naturally, but after all the storms and waves have passed, my lord will be blessed!"

Mrs. Yu snorted, drank tea by herself, and refused to let her sit down.

Nie was ashamed, thinking that more than 1000 people had been killed by the moldy food, under the rage of the Holy Majesty, He Cunli was not sure whether he would be safe or not. For himself, let alone his siblings at that time, I'm afraid that even his father, who is the Minister of Dali Temple, will be implicated. At that time, it will not be just a matter of being scolded by Mrs. Yu.

So while thinking about it, seeing that Mrs. Yu's face was still in a bad mood, and he pinched the back of his hand with his fingers in his sleeve for a long time, he said, "Even if the prince misses the old love, he has to use money to deal with it. I will take 3000 taels of silver bill later. When I come out, I will take it as an apology to my sister-in-law, please don't care about me this time."

Holding the cup, Yu paused, and after a while, his eyelids drooped, and he hummed, "3000 taels?"

Nie was slightly startled, gritted her teeth and said, "If 3000 taels is too little, how about 5000 taels? Now I only get 5000 taels for the two batches of grain. Please forgive me, sister-in-law."

Yu put down the cup and looked away.

Nie's chest heaved, and she said helplessly, "If it's not enough, I'll give you 5000 taels now. If this is over, and if there's still food to deliver in the future, I'll give one share to sister-in-law, how about it?!"

Only then did Yu slowly turn around and take a look at her.

When the sun was in the west, the people sent by the Yu family to inquire about the news came back, but they also brought back good news.Yu Shi and others finally settled down, and Nie Shi also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it is a good thing not to be flanked by Yu Shi and her natal family because of this.It's just that when he went back to the room and looked into the bank, he saw such a large wad of bank notes that almost all of them were going to be given to Mrs Yu for nothing, so he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and sending them in the room for a long time.

Because of Liuli's confession, the old lady didn't know the news at all, Liuli only mentioned it to the old lady after He Cunli returned home and felt safe.Unexpectedly, the old lady snorted coldly a few times and said: "They really don't know how to live or die!" When the old lady came back, she closed the door with him to discuss the matter.

As for the news that Mrs. Yu immediately called Mrs. Nie after hearing He Zhong's message, and locked her in the room and cursed her, Liuli also heard about it. This time, I was afraid that I would encounter some troubles, but I didn't expect that he was safe and sound in the end. On second thought, Nie's father was the Minister of Dali Temple, and He Yuli also accompanied the crown prince on the southern tour. These two happened to be handling the matter. It is difficult to think of big things.

After breakfast the next day, the old lady sent the Liang family and the Qi family back, leaving only the Yu family and the Nie family to talk for a while in the room.When Yushi came out, Liuli saw that her face was very bad, and she saw that Nie's face was also, but she was a little better.After Liuli entered the room, the old lady sat on the couch in a daze, she didn't notice when she got close, Liuli was about to call her softly, but she suddenly said: "Sooner or later, this tree in He Mansion will be gnawed down by them!"

Seeing her mournful expression, Liuli didn't dare to ask more questions.

Recently, because of the old lady's illness, sometimes she thinks about herself and the future of the He family. Although she agrees with Aunt Su's fight against the Yu family, she is also an ant living by the He family. She hopes that the Yu family will It collapsed, but it didn't mean that he hoped that He Fu would suffer.Without He Fu to support her identity, what would she use to strive for a broader future?Therefore, not only the fact that Yuhua was favored by the eldest princess, but also the crisis that He Cunli almost brought about now, she has a kind of concern about it, it is an instinct to control her own destiny, forcing her to want to control her own destiny. The whole He Mansion became his own help.

But this is too difficult. Aunt Su is willing to fight for her because she sees that she can be used, so she puts down her body and forms an alliance with her. If everyone in He Fu thinks that she has something to use, she needs more A better springboard, a better opportunity.

After being disturbed by the border incident, the old man gradually ended his idle days and began to deal with official duties in the yamen day after day.However, Liuli grinds for him more often, and her small script is very suitable for annotating official documents, so sometimes she is asked to help copy some official documents that have nothing to do with the important affairs of the court.

This day it was time to take a rest in court again. After breakfast, the old master had a meeting with the three brothers He Yuli in the academy, and then returned to Anxi Hall.When Liuli served him tea, she saw a scroll in his hand, so she asked: "Could it be that the old man got some new treasure?" The old man stroked his beard and nodded, "It's indeed a treasure, but it's a fake one."

Liuli opened it suspiciously, and couldn't help being stunned when she saw it, not because of the song "Like a Dream Order" written on the paper, but because of the words on the paper!She is very familiar with this font, because she has practiced it for five or six years!And now I haven't dared to write it openly to show people! ——Of course, the characters are imitations, and she can tell them at a glance, but even if they are fake, why would someone imitate Grandpa's characters?

"Where did the old man come from?"

"I bought it on the street," said the old man.

Liuli frowned and looked at it carefully again, and said: "This font is a good font, but it's a pity that this person's writing is a little less tough than it should be, and it's soft and sour!"

The old man looked sideways, but didn't say anything.

At this time, someone from the hall said: "Mr. Guo is here."

Guo Xia seldom came out of the Indus Courtyard to the front yard, Liuli and the old man were surprised when they heard it, and hurriedly said: "Please come in!"

Liuli stepped back and asked Hongmei to make tea, and took a few dried fruits on a vermilion lacquer plate. When she reached the front of the hall, Guo Xia just walked in.I met the old lady first, and then said with a smile: "I will go to the eldest princess's mansion to say hello and come back. I will also go to the main courtyard to say hello to the old lady. I don't want Master Shangshu to be here."

The old man hurriedly said: "Mr. Lao is concerned. Zhuo Jing is reciting Buddha's name in the Buddhist hall. Sir, please sit down for a while."

Guo Xia nodded and sat down in the guest seat on the right.Seeing that the calligraphy just now was still on the table, he said, "When I entered the door just now, I heard the words you two were talking about. Dare I ask what you are talking about?"

The old man stroked his beard and looked at Guo Xia, and said to Liuli, "Show it to the master."

Liu Li paused, picked up the character and went to the table next to Guo Xia's hand: "Sir, please look, it's this character."

Guo Xia looked at it, and his eyes flickered suddenly: "This word is so familiar, is it a copy of Mr. Lan Qing's?"

The old man turned his head, nodded and said, "Mr. Lan Qing's handwriting is rarely seen by anyone. You are indeed very knowledgeable."

Liuli's heart trembled, is it Mr. Lanqing again? !Could it be that Mr. Lan Qing is really a grandfather?Then how could they, a minister and a palace lady, know Grandpa?
