Chapter two hundred and forty-six, two-way affection(1/2)
Xi Chonggu didn't stay for too long. The general had many things. Now and the prince think that he could suppress King Lu and King Zhou. It's not without reason. Guan Jiu was so annoyed that he didn't want to listen, but he also admitted that Xi Chong was truly capable.
A few days later, Xi Chonggu left Liang Ren and left. Without him by his side, Liang Ren counted the days more and more and more, calculating the day he went back.
He wants to have children, he is full of excitement.
.....
The sea facing east is dominated by the weather in Donglin and Nanxing. When it is hot, the wet sea breeze comes and the rain comes down.
Lin Zhong walked to the gate of Qiao's house. After hearing the reward, Mrs. Qiao walked regardless of the rapid pace of her clothes. The rain rushed into the corridor with the wind, wetting her hair horns.
"Madam Bo, how is she?"
Mrs. Qiao asked anxiously.
No one was surprised that after Mrs. Chengpingbo came to the capital, the mansion fell in the air, and this man also accompanied dozens of family members in the royal city.
Lin Zhong gave the gift and smiled and said, "Hello, Madam, she is still in another place. You know, Madam is most concerned about business matters."
Lin Zhong is from the Lin family, and Mrs. Qiao's anxious heart is comforted, and on this day, the families who did not have time to visit were also comforted.
News is much faster than pace.
Everyone waited patiently for Lin Zhong to come to the door.
The person next to the pillow came by himself. Mrs. Nangong invited six people, including Mrs. Chen. Lin Cheng rushed back from the shop after hearing the news and gave the gift.
Mrs. Nangong burst into tears: "Madam still thinks of us?"
"Yes, I'm busy with the shop, butler Zhong delivers it one by one, it's too late."
"It's neither too late nor too late," Mrs. Jiang was grateful with the gift in her arms. Look, Princess Xi didn't have them in her eyes, but in the eyes of Mrs. Gui of Nanxing, they still had a place.
When asked about Mrs. Bo's recent situation, every sentence was concerned. Lin Cheng answered one by one, using business as an excuse.
Mrs. Nangong, who was thinking about His Highness, said before leaving: "I want me to tell me that Your Highness should go and pick her up. If Mrs. Bo has other reasons, she doesn't want to come back," she wanted to allude to Princess Xi again.
Lin Cheng hurriedly said: "No, no, you think more."
"If there is, remember to tell me." Mrs. Nangong said this, and Mrs. Jiang said this.
Tang didn't know how to restrain himself and jumped too fiercely. He couldn't blame the person next to him for always trying to target Princess Xi. Tang attracted a lot of suspicion for the fifteenth girl.
Lin Cheng said again that there was no.
The news soon reached the royal palace. Zhou's mother was so excited that she almost cried. The man was still there and the housekeeper was scattering gifts everywhere, which showed that she was also very good.
"That's good, that's good." Zhou's mother burned incense in Xiangtang first.
The incense hall is also an old decoration of the Old Hong Palace. Liang Ren does not believe in Buddhism, so he burns incense for his mother's mother during festivals.
Zhou's mother went back to Xi Duanxiu with a stalking pace, just one step later than Tang's family. When she came in, Xi Duanxiu was sneering: "This time my suspicion has finally been cleared."
Tang took a step forward, and Mrs. Bo was safe and soundly disrupted all her contributions. She was a great hero who had blocked hundreds of people in front of the princess. Now the bitch is pretty good. Tang said anxiously: "I go to Chengping Bo Mansion to scold their family for not knowing shame. If you lose your lord in the capital, you dare to come back. Also, shouldn't her family be the first to give the princess a gift?"
Even if Xi Duanxiu was not in Yonghe Palace on the first day of the first lunar month, she knew that she had broken up with Mrs. Chengpingbo, so how could she give her a gift? Xi Duanxiu said nothing to Tang's words. She and her husband were in a state of disagreement and could not show the confidence to cause trouble with an old minister like Chengpingbo's mansion.
But isn’t it even bigger in Yonghe Palace?
That's not the place where Concubine Hui is in charge, that's the place where the Empress is.
Zhou's mother took a step forward and said steadily: "You should blame the outdoor room and punish it." She looked at Tang with a smile: "My mother, please."
Tang's face looked ugly. Mrs. Song's words in recent years were not indifferent. Old Song's difficulty in persuading him made Tang's fear of Mrs. Nangong.
A shrew, Tang thought of Nangong like this.
She dared to scold the officials who gave marriage in Beijing, and was anxious to swing her knife. Who is not afraid of fighting for the death?
Tang dared to go to Chengping Bo's Mansion. When she saw Mrs. Bo being pressed to the ground in the capital, she thought Mrs. Bo was lowered from then on.
Xi Duanxiu was reminded and finally thought of her status as the hostess of Nanxing. If Mrs. Bo could not come back, even if she committed suicide, the reason would be investigated until the first day of the first lunar month. Xi Duanxiu felt that there was something to be implicated, and the accusations of the people around her would become the truth. No matter what the world is, people who tell the truth will always have corresponding protection.
But Mrs. Bo is fine, and the person next to her becomes nonsense. Nothing can be big or small, and spreading rumors about the reputation of the princess is a crime of beheading.
The fifteenth girl is not a cruel person. Don’t be careful not to see that she is from the Xi family, except that her blood is encouraged to get stuck in a stubborn manner, she dares not rob people, so just blame her, this is the boss.
Xi Duanxiu thought bitterly that she would not offend her husband, nor would she let Mrs. Qiao and others say anything.
She looked at Tang with hope, only the wet nurse could do such a good job.
Under the double eyes, Tang stammered: "Empress, you are the princess. You must be angry and have a status, so you can't be with those bitches."
When Xi Duanxiu felt that it made sense, Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Where did this come from? Nanxing is the princess who is responsible for discipline."
When Tang heard her talk, she became angry. She returned to the front of the fifteenth girl and ran for her to enter and escape from the capital. However, she could no longer drive Zhou's mother away. Tang was in a panic every day.
The anger was aroused, and Tang rushed out: "I am not my uncle, I want to give some bitches a decent look. I, the princess, has been a wet nurse since childhood, how can I give the bitches a decent look?"
This statement is intimately in line with Xi Duanxiu’s dissatisfaction with Jiang and his elder brother. Xi Duanxiu looked at Zhou’s mother with a smile: “The wet nurse said yesterday that she was unhappy and couldn’t get angry. Since she asked, would she be fine if she went there?”
Mother Zhou agreed happily.
She was going to go, but Tang was unable to come to such a righteous and open style. The reason why she disliked Tang was because her mother Zhou was also panicked.
Zhou's mother was not vague about this mission. She picked a few men and women from the dowry and asked Liang Wen for help. Her reason was in front of any upright butler, and she could not refuse.
"Mrs. Bo is safe. The words in the outer room are slander. Now that your highness is not here, they will leave their lives for a while, but they will not blame them. Where is the princess' face? The princess has no face, and her highness will not feel at ease even if she knows."
There is no need to mention Xi Chonggu, as the saying goes by the same husband and wife, people who recognize words and do not recognize words should know.
From King Liang Ren of Jin to Liang Wen, and to any family member of the royal palace, no one made Mrs. Nangong speak loudly. In this matter, Mrs. Nangong really couldn't gain a foothold. Liang Wen immediately sent a team of people to Zhou's mother, and there were about forty people in total, and surrounded Zhou's mother who was dressed up to come outside the Nangong Gate.
At the order of Zhou's mother, she smashed the gate of the Nangong family.
Fortunately, Mrs. Nangong is not at home. She has been alone recently. I am afraid she is not a match for Princess Xi. She often visits Mrs. Jiang. The two recalled the little things about His Highness, and sometimes hugged her head and cried bitterly.
Zhou's mother went straight into the main room and scolded Mrs. Nangong's girl. Xiang Yuan, the girl who was prepared for Liang Ren, came out to show pride when she heard the news and was slapped twice by Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother returned proudly. When Xi Duanxiu smiled at her, she sincerely advised her and intercepted the third batch of gifts presented to Huifei, so that the fifteenth girl and the Xi family would lose one less person.
In the bones of Tang's hatred, she couldn't drive away the old man named Zhou. Isn't this going to make people angry? She has to work harder, for example, she is working hard in Chengping Bo Mansion.
Mrs. Nangong knew the news that Zhou's mother was powerful and she did not dare to go home for a while. Mrs. Jiang was afraid that Zhou's mother would come to her house, so she grabbed her and said she would burn incense out of the city, and lived in a nunnery outside the city, and asked someone to send a letter to ask the Prince Jin's mansion to come forward.
Liang Wu served Mrs. Chengpingbo in the mountains and was almost not in the royal palace. Liang Wen never cared about the matters in the outdoor room and told him back to Xi Duanxiu that he could not control it.
This is true. No matter how big the butler is, he cannot control the princess, let alone the reason Zhou's mother is taking over this time.
Mrs. Qiao and others knew that there would be no sympathy.
Mrs. Nangong and Mrs. Jiang were so angry that they were waiting for Mrs. Chengpingbo to come back.
When the autumn chamber of commerce arrived, Taifeng Commercial Bank took the lead as usual, with red brocade all over the streets and colorful stars. It was often seen as looking down in the office room of the shopkeeper on the high pavilion. It was a rare relief in recent years.
There were guests around him, Lin Zhong and Lin Cheng, with a large number of gifts, and asked the shopkeeper to preside over the Chamber of Commerce for Bo’s Mansion at this year’s Chamber of Commerce when Mrs. Bo did not come back.
Changdang repeatedly asked: "Why didn't my wife come back? She always valued business. Speaking of which, I admire her. After Master Lao passed away, she was not weaker. Everyone knows that the property of the uncle's mansion has only increased and not decreased, haha."
"If you can't come back, there's something good. Haha, when the wife comes back, you will know that you will definitely leave a post and invite you to go."
"Is it a good thing?"
Lin Zhong and Lin Cheng affirmed again.
When they left, Changdang was like Zhou's mother, and he let out a long sigh. It would be fine if Mrs. Bo was fine. Otherwise, Changdang would have many sources of information. The nanny of the Xi family appeared in Yonghe Palace. Later, Concubine Hui was confined to a bleeding case in the capital. His Highness King Jin was afraid that he would turn against the Xi family.
It doesn't matter if they turn against each other, they often suffer first.
Half a year has passed, and others are still speculating on the content of the talks between King Jin and King Lu, and they often don’t guess at all. King Lu often asks about the stockpiling of food, grass and soldiers.
There is no way, he did too many things for King Lu, and there was always a time when Liang Ren was targeted. For example, Wei Linxing entered Taifeng Trading Company in a big way, and Liang Ren was not difficult to investigate.
Mrs. Bo is fine. The Yonghe Palace incident will be diluted by time. Xi Liang's alliance will not turn against each other.
Since the Xi family presided over the peace talks, the result must be that King Lu and King Jin will no longer fight and will be able to keep their heads as they often do.
Otherwise, if you continue to fight, the shopkeeper will be a double-profile work. In history, such people will not end well, and they will generally not have a good ending.
Mrs. Bo is still here, and there are still good things to do. God treats herself well and often thinks of this.
He did not consider why the housekeeper of the Bo Mansion begged him. This question was discussed. Lin Zhong and Lin Cheng talked on the way back.
"Your Highness asked the shopkeeper to find the big boss, and it made sense at once."
......
The summer in the mountains is cool, and autumn turns cold. Mrs. Chengpingbo hardly goes out of the room and spends her days chatting with her old concubine.
Of course, when it comes to the chamber of commerce at home, Qin smiled and said, "Your Highness will have arrangements."
Mrs. Chengpingbo silently said nothing. Since she was found by His Highness King Jin, she has been within His Highness's arrangements. What needs to be admitted is that His Highness's arrangements are quite thoughtful.
For example, people from the royal city would ask about her whereabouts. After she went up the mountain, Liang Ren arranged for Lin Zhong and others to return first and brought a large number of gifts, and the gift fee would be paid by Liang Ren.
It is not a specialty in Beijing. Unless the recipients are particularly rude, they will not ask. Everyone knows that Mrs. Bo left Beijing after being humiliated, so she was not in the mood to buy gifts for familiar people.
Some people don’t need to send it, but they also deliver it to you. It’s just to tell everyone, don’t worry, anything can’t suppress her.
Qin praised His Highness and said that the arrangement was very good. Sooner or later, they would take their children back to the Bo Mansion to spend their days, make friends with familiar families again first, and if there is any gossip in the future, they would have less talk.
Generally speaking, everyone will help their acquaintances, habitually favoritism, and sometimes blindly.
Before the Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Bo asked again, and the old concubine asked Liang Wu, saying that Your Highness arranged for the shopkeeper Taifeng to help, and Liang Ren did this instead of sending Liang Wen to come forward. He was also avoiding suspicion, and the handle he often took was in his hands and was convenient to use.
