From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 87

In a bad mood, people were sent to guard the yard, and Shangguan Xinrou had no scruples.Sitting directly on the chair, she ordered: "Tomorrow morning, go to the warehouse to choose some valuable jewelry and sell them for money, and then take out the white jade Guanyin to the prince. And I will put it in Yinzhuang to earn interest." I took out all the 3 taels of silver I had, and made up 6 taels to send to the prince."

How could that bitch Ruan Xiangqin compare to her? If she hadn't married Mei Zhannan, it would be her turn to be the concubine of King Huai of Chu.

6 taels of silver is not a small amount. Mother Zhao became anxious when she heard it, and blurted out: "Didn't you just give 2 taels last time? Why do you need silver again? Princess, that Yinzhuang is all your private money. The third lady will get married in the future, so this money can't be moved."

As a confidant, Mother Zhao knew about the affairs between her and King Huai of Chu, but the money she had asked for in the past two years was too much.Therefore, she was very worried, and also afraid that one day General Mei and Mei Xin would find out.

For the Mei family's father and daughter, Zhao's mother is very complicated. On the one hand, she brought up Shangguan Xinrou, and she must protect her and help her, and be with her.But on the other hand, she felt sorry for them, Mei Zhannan was fine, she didn't talk about the matters between husband and wife, but she did go too much for Mei Xin.

A two-year-old child is sent to Liangzhou thousands of miles away, no one would do that.The same is a daughter, even if she was not born to the man she loves, she is still the flesh that fell from her body. The eldest lady is so sensible, how can she bear it.

How could she not know that she could not touch her own private money, but what could she do?If he didn't give the silver to King Huai of Chu, he must go to Ruan Xiangqin to get it.Failure to keep the vow to marry him already owes him a lot, and he has suffered a lot from being sneaky all these years. Now if he can't compare with Ruan Xiangqin in money, it will undoubtedly push him out.Therefore, Shangguan Xinju said: "Chu'er will only reach Ji next month, and she will start to see people after the New Year. Don't worry about the dowry. Aren't there still little bastards? The New Year is coming soon, and she will definitely come back with a New Year's gift. Arrive Don’t touch the things you send back at that time, and keep them for Chu’er’s dowry.”

Although Mei Sichu is the daughter of King Huai of Chu, she was born in the Mei family, and her current surname is Mei, so she is naturally married from the Mei family.The girls of the Mei family will pay their dowry for their weddings, and the gifts from Liangzhou will be more than enough.

I don't know if Mei Xin has been fighting bandits this year, because if she didn't kill bandits, she would have no money, and she would not have expensive jewelry.

Looking at Shangguan Xinrou who only had King Huai of Chu in her eyes, Mother Zhao became more and more uneasy.Although General Mei's father and daughter are far away in Liangzhou, this is the Prince Liang's Mansion after all, and the old lady above is not fake, but the things sent back from Liangzhou every year are recorded in the book and can be checked.

One day, two days, one year, two years, maybe no one will investigate, but one day the general will come back, and so will the eldest lady.If they found out, then the first unlucky one would not be Shangguan Xinrou but her.

It is true that the Mei family is going downhill, but after all, the momentum is strong. On the other hand, the Shangguan family is still tepid after 20 years.When the Dongchuang incident happened, thinking about the reputation of the Mei Manor and the future of the children, maybe General Mei would not directly kill Shangguan Xinrou, but they must die as slaves.Not only will he die, but he will die miserably.

Thinking that her grandson is still young and her youngest son has not yet married, Mother Zhao persuaded: "Princess, the prince sends back a lot of things every year. If one day finds out or the prince asks, how should you answer? Seeing the eldest lady It's almost eighteen, and it's also the age to get married, when the time comes, the dowry..."

Mentioning Mei Xin made her want to tear her to pieces. Shangguan Xinrou couldn't listen to a word of irritability. She opened her mouth and interrupted her: "She is Mei Zhannan's daughter. What does it matter to me whether she gets married or not? Let's talk about it." The marriage of Prince Liang's daughter is of course a public affair, so it's possible that I have to use my private money to pay for it."

He has never liked Mei Xin, and has never regarded her as his own daughter, so how could he plan for her.After saying that, Shangguan Xinrou stood up and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let me live in the middle of the night. I am the master, you are the slave, I am the master. How to say how you do it, don't talk nonsense all day long."

After speaking, she turned and went into the inner room.

As she got older, Shangguan Xinrou felt more and more that Zhao's mother was nagging, and she was like a dead old woman talking all day long, and she was annoyed to death.And if she hadn't been able to do things well and knew many of her secrets, she would have sent her to Zhuangzi to retire.

Mother Zhao didn't follow, and she didn't speak. She stopped for a long time and finally sighed deeply, shaking her head involuntarily.He thought to himself, let it go, everyone has their own destiny, since she is a dowry, and since she promised that his wife would protect her, then she will spare no effort to seek schemes for her.As for taking it one step at a time in the future, if it really came to the day when the Dongchuang incident happened, there was nothing she could do.

Early the next morning, Mother Zhao opened the storeroom while no one was paying attention, carefully picked out some precious jewelry, and sold them.She also took out the white jade Guanyin, which was delivered to Lao Liu soon after.

Lao Liu didn't dare to delay, and when King Huai of Chu came down, he hurriedly handed over the 6 taels of silver notes and the white jade Guanyin to him.Very satisfied, he took one out and handed it to Lao Liu, saying: "Send it to Qinxianglou to buy clothes for Yue'er, and tell her that the king will come over at night, let her wash it and wait."

Yue'er is the number one character in Qinxiang Building, gentle and considerate, not only has a beautiful bed, but also has a variety of tricks on her bed.In the past month, he has been lingering and forgetting to return, but if it wasn't for the money, he would not have gone to see Shangguan Xinrou last night.

Taking it with respectful hands without squinting, Lao Liu glanced at it, saw that it was 1000 taels of silver, immediately put it in his arms and said, "Yes, I will leave, my servant!"

"Well, let's go. Also, let's go to the Nanfeng Pavilion again. There is a censor in the court who impeached me. After the court, the emperor specially summoned me to question me. You let them avoid it. Although men are prevalent in the capital, but And don't be too ostentatious." The gun hits the head, he doesn't want to be targeted at this juncture.Besides, those censors are just stones in the latrine, which are smelly and hard, and oil and salt can't get in. It will be troublesome if they are targeted by them.

His eyes moved slightly, and Lao Liu lowered his head again, and after saying "yes", he retreated out respectfully.

In the golden autumn and October, the blue sky is as clear as a wash, and the autumn colors are pleasant. The ginkgo trees in the capital have changed their color, and they are as golden as gold.Ginkgo Street is named after the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the street, and is famous for its bustle and bustle.
