Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 302 Marriage event (1)

The news that the emperor bestowed Yuan and Princess Gao Qichang to marry Gao Qichang was rumored in the capital. Some people said that the young master of the Gao family and Miss Shi's family were originally a couple, and some people corrupted the Shi family's style, saying that the Shi family prided themselves on propriety and righteousness. The aristocratic family, now that the lady waiting to be married has caused such a incident, the Gao family is still willing to welcome her into the door, which shows that this Miss Shi family has extraordinary means.

A few days later, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to Xuanzhi, because the family was separated, only the third master Shi Jingran led his eldest son Shi Conghu out to receive the order.

"Congratulations to Master Shi, congratulations to Master Shi! There were so many people at the banquet that day, I didn't congratulate you in person for marrying a daughter, I'm really sorry!"

Shi Jingran took the imperial decree, smirked and said politely, "Don't dare, don't dare. I have already prepared a banquet in the pavilion. I hope Master Liang will appreciate it. How about having a drink with me?"

"Then it's better to obey orders than to be respectful." As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled, and went down to drink wine hand in hand.

Shi Jingran was afraid that the old lady would be anxious, so he ordered Shi Conghu to go to the nunnery to report to the old lady, and then come back to have a drink and talk with Mr. Liang.

When the old lady heard that the will was so, she suddenly felt a radiance on her face, and she said to Aunt Tan: "I thought Qing'er was an unlucky girl, not only at such an age, but also has a child as a burden, but now I don't expect Your Majesty is merciful and personally bestowed the marriage, which has given our Shi family enough face. Although you are an aunt now, the third eldest family has not come into the mansion, and Qing'er still needs you to take care of it."

Aunt Qin responded with a smile.

Since the beginning of the year, Aunt Qin only felt that she was against her everywhere. Even the old lady who had always loved her began to look for a successor for the third master. It can be seen that she has been in the house for so many years, and nothing has been left behind in the end.It will be a matter of time before the third lady enters the house. No matter how unwilling Aunt Tan is, she understands that the old lady will definitely not promote herself.

Now taking advantage of Shi Yiqing's chance of getting married, Aunt Qin will definitely show her face and let the mothers and maids in the house see that even if she loses power, she is still a talkative aunt in the third room.

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Tan could try her best to please Shi Yiqing's dowry.

On this day, Jian Shi hid at Shi Yiqing's place to talk to her, mentioned Aunt Tan, and smiled contemptuously: "Now the third lady is going to marry soon. No one is sure. If it is really a boy, with the old lady relying on it, and through your wedding, she will not be afraid of the third lady getting married. This is why Aunt Tan The reason for being so troublesome.”

Seeing Jian's words being mean, Shi Yiqing just smiled and didn't take it seriously, and followed her words and said: "Although I am the young lady of the family, no matter whether I am favored or not, I will marry off, and the married daughter will be thrown out Water, even if she has the heart to look at my head, it is useless."

"That's a good statement, and I think it has nothing to do with me." Jane smiled self-deprecatingly, "Hey, she is the aunt of your third room, and my second room's young mistress has nothing to do with her."

Holding a scarf and covering her mouth with a smile, Jane approached Shi Yiqing and said, "Ninth Sister, have you heard of the Yongnan Marquis Mansion?"

Shi Yiqing put down the embroidery in his hand, thought about it carefully, and said with a light smile: "I haven't moved around all day, but I have only vaguely heard that the ancestor of the Marquis of Yongnan is in the same line as the emperor of the holy ancestor. My cousin is the Marquis of Yongnan, hereditary disregard."

"That's right, I'm talking about this family." Jian raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You know, the first generation of Yongnan Hou Ye was a man of integrity, and he earned this family property to give to his descendants, so that his descendants can eat and drink. Worry-free. It’s just that his two sons are really disappointing. The eldest son is the hereditary Marquis of Yongnan, and with his salary, he only knows that he will become a god. The second son was made a viscount by the late emperor. The year before last, he was reprimanded by our emperor for occupying the fisherman’s daughter privately. But he still doesn’t know how to repent. At the end of last year, he was found out to enclose the cultivated land. It was supposed to be disposed of at that time, but our emperor wanted to celebrate the New Year, so he didn’t get rid of it. That’s good. Knowing this, he said that after the new year, the Yongnan Hou Mansion renovated the Yue Fei Temple under the pretext of sharing the emperor's worries, but they were a little tight, so they asked everyone to donate money, and in the future they will be rewarded by the emperor. Give it back to the big guy."

Shi Yiqing laughed and said, "Does anyone believe this?"

Jane's face gloated and smiled: "It's the Yongnanhou's Mansion, why is this skinny camel bigger than a horse? It's better now, it's just after the new year, and the officials have collected evidence of the Yongnanhou's mansion When I wrote to the emperor, the emperor ordered the house to be seized in a fit of rage, and he actually confiscated tens of millions of taels of silver notes, and there were countless antique calligraphy and paintings, which were piled up on the ground, as if they didn’t want any money.”

"How did sister-in-law know so clearly?"

Jian's lowered her brows and curled her lips into a smile: "To tell you the truth, during the Chinese New Year, my mother came to talk to me and wanted to trick me into giving away my own money. I wanted to ask clearly. My mother didn't hide anything. I, I did not believe the words of the Yongnan Hou Mansion, but my mother insisted that I was not filial, and was unwilling to give her the money. Give her ten thousand taels."

Holding the tea bowl in his hand, he paused for a moment, looked at Shi Yiqing and continued: "The money of our juniors didn't come from a strong wind, so I naturally wanted to find out. I didn't expect that this investigation would yield so many Things come out."

Shi Yiqing thought about it and said: "I think the reason for coming to the Marquis of Yongnan Mansion is to collect money to enter, so that I can use other people's money to clear up the relationship, so that the emperor will not get angry."

"They were very scheming. They took other people's money to clear the relationship, but they refused to spend any of their own money. Now it's all over. It's a pleasure to ask the emperor to ransack the house all at once!"

Shi Yiqing looked at Jian Shi's smile, and asked in puzzlement, "Sister-in-law doesn't feel sorry for Yinzi?"

"My heart hurts, why don't I feel distressed." Jane suppressed the anger in her heart, "I saved up the money bit by bit. You also know that my father only has that little salary, and my mother is a money saver. He refused to reveal anything to let us know. Fortunately, since then, if my mother wants to take money from me, I will block her. This can be regarded as losing a small amount of money and making a lot of money."

The loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver is considered a small amount of money, which shows that Jane's hands are very generous.

The girl serving outside the door came in and said: "Young Mistress, the second madam has returned from the Yongnan Hou Mansion and is clamoring to see you."

"I see, you go down first." Jian put the tea bowl in her hand aside, winked at Shi Yiqing with a smile, and then followed the girl back to the second bedroom.

Mo Wu called He Lu in, told her to put Jian's teacup aside and tidy up briefly, and then sent everyone out.

Shi Yiqing took a look at her, and continued to hurry up with the semi-finished embroidery: "Do you have something to say?"

Mo Wu leaned forward and said softly: "Miss, why is Third Young Mistress willing to tell you these things? Isn't she afraid that you will tell Second Madam?"

"She is not afraid." Shi Yiqing smiled lightly, "Let's not say that I am going out of the mansion to get married soon, and I will not live in the mansion. Even if I want to say it, the two of us will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. No matter how distant the relationship is, it will break the bones If she is attached, she will bite me instead and blame me for sowing dissension. What's more, she is well aware of the grievances between me and the second wife, so she is very relieved of me."

Mo Wu suddenly smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I don't see how close the young lady is to her. Why does she come to talk to the young lady every now and then, and she still speaks bad things about the second lady."

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes to look at her: "Don't say this anymore, be careful, my sister-in-law is so ruthless, it's enough for you to drink a pot."

"Slave remembered."

Shi Yiqing rubbed his swollen forehead, looked at the dark sky outside, and asked, "It's just past noon, why is the sky still so gloomy? Mo Wu, go to the small kitchen and see the hot pot for Pan'er." Is the bowl of goat milk ready?"

Mo Wu stepped back in response.

Shi Yiqing was fascinated by looking at the blossoming plum blossoms in the room, and was awakened by the sound of footsteps coming in, without asking who it was.She never likes to be waited upon by others, the only ones who can enter the warm pavilion are Mo Wu, Jianliu, He Mu and Zhuxi. Now that Mo Wu has gone to the kitchen, Jianliu is with Qier, either Zhuxi or He Twilight came in.

The footsteps stopped behind the screen, and an unfamiliar voice called her: "Miss."

Shi Yiqing's finger holding the silver needle froze, trying not to show any nervousness: "Who are you? The girl in my room? I didn't ask you to come in, how dare you come in?"

The girl went around the screen and entered the Nuan Pavilion, knelt at the door far away, bowed respectfully and said: "Returning to Miss, the servant Yin Cui was just bought into the mansion by the manager a few years ago, and was assigned to the lady's room a few days ago. Waiting in the middle."

"Since you are in my room, you should abide by my rules. Get out!"

Yin Cui went to look at Shi Yiqing in a daze, hesitated a lot before getting up and going out the door.Going around the screen, turning around unwillingly, he said to Shi Yiqing: "Miss doesn't recognize the servant? The servant once served Yin Cui of the miss!"

Zhu Xi, who came in to serve with ginseng soup, knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Yin Cui, he asked, "Didn't I tell you to go to Madam Xu to help pack your clothes? Why did you come here?"

Seeing Yin Cui standing aside with her head down, Shi Yiqing frowned and asked Zhu Xi: "Is this girl new here? I don't know and I don't want to know what the rules in the house are, but the rules in my room should be called she knows."

It was rare for Zhu Xi to see Shi Yiqing speak so harshly, and he lowered his head and replied: "Miss Hui, Yin Cui was brought by sister He Mu, things have been complicated these few days, sister He Mu didn't have time to discipline her, please don't get angry. The servant will take her down now."
