Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 240 Dirty People
According to the rules, the dead must be parked at home for at least three days, and the relatives and descendants will complete the funeral before they can be taken out to the cemetery.Today, it was only the third day after Shopkeeper Qian died. According to the rules, he had to stay at Mu's house for another day before he could be buried in the ground tomorrow.

However, Qian Zhenzhen screamed when she got up early in the morning. She only said that she dreamed of Shopkeeper Qian.Therefore, the schedule was moved forward by one day.Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly escaped from Huangsha Town.If you wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

"But I wronged my father." Xue Chengren said with a sigh.

Qian Zhenzhen bent down, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "How can I blame you? Brother Cheng thought of a good idea so that we don't have to give up the hard-earned money of our father to that bitch of the Feng family." .”

That day, when the yamen servant came to collect the money, Xue Chengren saw Qian Zhenzhen's tearful look, and knew that she would never give up the money properly.Thinking about the Mu family's relatives in the capital, he thought of a way for him.That is, before the yamen servants came over, they sent the treasurer Qian to the ground one day in advance, and then took the opportunity to sneak out of Huangsha Town and go to Beijing to join Mu's relatives in the capital.

"Just come out." Xue Chengren said, hesitant at this point, "It's just that I can only help Zhenzhen get here. I don't know our relatives in the capital. And I just A son-in-law, I'm afraid they won't laugh at me?"

"Whoever dares to laugh at Brother Cheng is making fun of me, Qian Zhenzhen!" Qian Zhenzhen quickly patted him on the shoulder, assuring him.

In fact, Qian Zhenzhen was also guilty, because the relationship between the Mu family and the main family in the capital was already very shallow.Except that every year during the holidays, the shopkeeper Qian prepared generous gifts to send to Jingzhong, and Beijing Zhongzhong also responded with a corresponding gift list. In these years, Qian Zhenzhen didn't even see anyone from her family.

Thinking of what shopkeeper Qian once said, Qian Zhenzhen boldly said: "It's okay. Money can turn ghosts around. Since we have money, why worry about them not working hard? Besides, we are all one family."

Xue Chengren nodded and continued pinching her legs.After pinching for a while, Qian Zhenzhen withdrew her foot and said, "Let me see again, is there enough money?"

It was the first time she entered the house, and Qian Zhenzhen prepared a few red envelopes. She planned to buy some gifts after she went to Beijing, and put them under the box.So at this moment, because of a little nervousness, he urged Xue Chengren to take out the money he had prepared.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chengren dug out in the accompanying suitcase for a long while, and gradually his face turned gray.

"What's wrong?" Qian Zhenzhen said impatiently seeing that he hadn't taken it out for a long time.Xue Chengren turned around hesitantly, and looked at Qian Zhenzhen, a little at a loss: "Zhenzhen, are we really in this box?"

"That's right!" Qian Zhenzhen said.

Xue Chengren's face became even more ugly: "The little box we put our things in is gone."

"What?" Qian Zhenzhen was taken aback, "Impossible!" As she spoke, she pushed Xue Chengren away with one hand, opened the lid of the box by herself, and reached in to search.However, as far as the hands can reach, there are some soft objects. Where is the wooden box containing silver?Gradually, his face changed, and he looked at Xue Chengren suspiciously and fiercely: "Did you hide it secretly?"

Xue Chengren only said that he was wronged: "Zhenzhen, why should I hide it? Besides, we have always been together, so where can I hide the box?"

"Why isn't that box gone?" Qian Zhenzhen's face had already started to look grim again, this box contained not only the tribute money for the Mu family, but also most of their property!
"Stop! Stop!" Qian Zhenzhen yelled, and when the carriage stopped, she immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked to another carriage carrying servants and other luggage behind the carriage.After all the servants were driven away, Qian Zhenzhen went through the other luggage boxes by herself, but she couldn't find the wooden box containing all the silver, so she couldn't help being stunned!
Let's talk about Murong Xi'er, after returning to the palace, she heard the maid report that Concubine Xu Guifei sent someone to call her.After thinking about it, he packed up and went to Concubine Xu's palace.

Concubine Xu Gui wore a very plain dress today, and she was also very plainly dressed, there were no golden decorations on her head or wrists.Sitting on the couch at this moment, seeing Murong Xi'er coming in, he raised his hand to beckon to her kindly: "Xi'er is back, come and sit down beside Concubine Mother."

Murong Xi'er saluted first, and then sat down beside Concubine Xu Gui as she said.

"I heard that you left the palace today?" Concubine Xu Gui's voice was unbelievably gentle, "But you are in a bad mood, so you went outside to relax?"

Murong Xi'er was a little irritated by her gentle voice, so she nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

"Are you having fun?" Concubine Xu Gui asked gently again.

Murong Xi'er nodded again: "It's quite comfortable outside. It's just that Emperor Father said not to ask me to play for too long. Xi'er had no choice but to come back before he had his fill of fun."

"You girl, do you still want to go crazy for a few more days?" Concubine Xu Gui said with half annoyance and half a smile, "Your father's permission to leave the palace is already extraordinarily gracious."

Murong Xi'er lowered her head and nodded lightly.

Concubine Xu Gui stretched out her arms to embrace her, and then said something else to her.It was a heartwarming conversation between mother and daughter that had not been said for two years.Gradually, Murong Xi'er's heart softened a little.

After all, she is the concubine mother, someone who loved her very much.Then he softened his body, snuggled into Concubine Xu's arms and started talking and laughing.Seeing that Concubine Xu Gui asked a lot of questions, it was very ridiculous, Murong Xi'er couldn't help feeling sorry for Concubine Xu Guifei who hadn't been out of the palace for many years, and said: "It's very fun outside the palace..."

He also talked about the booming business of Fengxu Pavilion where he saw Fengyao in Huangsha Town, and how delicious the chili dishes are.Finally, he said with great enthusiasm: "I also got a jar of chili sauce today, and I will bring some to my concubine later, and concubine mother will try it if she likes it or not."

"You girl, you still want to hide it from your concubine mother. You actually went to see Feng Shi today, right?" Concubine Xu Guifei stretched out her hand to Murong Xi'er's head with a smile.

Murong Xi'er touched her forehead and lowered her head a little embarrassed.She knew that since the Osmanthus Festival, the emperor, empress, concubine Xu Gui and others did not like Feng Yao, so she only said that she went out to play today, but did not elaborate on where she went.As for Fengxu Pavilion, she also turned it into a well-known old shop.Unexpectedly, it was still guessed by Concubine Xu.

"If you like her, my concubine can understand. There are not many capable and determined women like her in the world." Concubine Xu said.

"Hmm!" Murong Xi'er couldn't help but nod repeatedly after hearing Concubine Xu Guifei's gentle tone and praising Feng Yao.

Concubine Xu Gui smiled and nodded her forehead, and said: "Concubine Mother, I don't stop you from liking her. If you want to get close to her, go get close. After all, she is a capable person, you follow her , and learn something."

Murong Xi'er couldn't help lowering her head, she wanted to praise Feng Yao for being exceptionally powerful, but she was afraid that concubine Xu Gui would not like it if she said too much, so she just lowered her head and didn't speak.

Concubine Xu Guifei thought she was shy, and smiled and said: "You two have such a good relationship, and the concubine mother is also happy. Xi'er, since the cloth shop you mentioned just now makes money like that, and it belongs to the Feng family, why do you If you don't tell Feng Shi, you will also get two shares?" Murong Xi'er's expression changed slightly after hearing this.She raised her eyes and looked carefully at Concubine Xu Gui's expression, only to see Concubine Xu's eyes were soft and indescribably kind.I can't help but feel that I can't go up and down, mother and concubine, why do you say that?
Concubine Xu Gui lowered her head and saw the blankness in Murong Xi'er's eyes, smiled and nodded on her plump and fair forehead, and said: "You silly child, it's just such a trivial matter, could it be that you can't speak?"

Murong Xi'er was still a little dazed, and couldn't help asking: "Concubine Mu, why do I want to take [-]% of the shares?"

Concubine Xu Gui said with a smile: "I see, the Feng family is a very capable person and has a good handicraft. In the future, he must be in need of money. If you can buy [-]% of the shares, the future of the Feng family will be bright. Don't you feel better too?"

Speaking of this, he taught Murong Xi'er earnestly and earnestly: "Although you are the princess of the Tian family, you can't be short of money. But what about the future? When you get married, will you have to spend all the flowers in the palace? Your father Mr. Huang will grow old one day, who will spoil you with extravagance?"

As far as Murong Xi'er is concerned, there are countless flowers to use.It is far from enough to rely on the monthly salary alone.Even for the small kitchen of Yongning Palace, the cost of a month is more than ten times the monthly bill.

Moreover, Murong Xi'er has a group of embroiderers, and she often thinks that they are all for flowers.Murong Xi'er herself has no concept of money, since she was aware of it, she has never been short of anything.Therefore, it is always interesting to watch Feng Yao make money and be happy.

However, after listening to Xu Guifei's words, I couldn't help frowning: "Mother Concubine, I haven't done much, how can I take [-]% of her shares?"

"You child, if you say you have solid eyes, you really have solid eyes." Xu Guifei couldn't help but stretched out her hand again, and poked her forehead: "You are a princess, and you are already a princess if you don't take over her shop. You've given her enough face. Besides, if you speak up for her again and again, and go all out to defend her in front of your father, isn't that considered giving her face?"

"On the Osmanthus Festival, the mother concubine and you both wore clothes made by her. Do you count as showing her face? It's just [-]% of her shares. Why can't you say anything?" Concubine Xu just didn't say anything. Yao is very knowledgeable, so she should have brought the silver with both hands early.

Murong Xi'er frowned, and gradually sat up straight, no longer leaning against Concubine Xu's arms: "Concubine Mu, I can't do it."

The voice has become a little cold.

This is the girl who crawled out of her stomach, and she even vaguely accused her mother and concubine for an outsider.Concubine Xu Gui also had a cold look in her eyes, she could hear Murong Xier's overtones - she couldn't do such a shameless thing.Not only could she not do it, but she had never even thought about it.

Therefore, Concubine Xu Gui, who had this idea, became that dirty person.

However, a cold light flashed in her eyes, Concubine Xu Gui returned to her gentle appearance, stretched out her hand to caress Murong Xi'er's heart, and said: "Mother and concubine said this for the good of the Feng family. The Feng family has the ability, But if her business gets bigger, so what if someone wants to take it? This is the way of the world, without a backing, it is impossible to do business."
