Chapter 228: Rebuff
The queen acted decisively and selected the most popular ten women on the same day. The dust fell to the ground, and the gambling shops naturally had to cash in on the gambling money.
When the girls in Duke Pu Guo’s mansion heard the news, they all clamored to go to check the cash. But this time, Mu Hongluan didn’t want to take everyone out of the mansion again, so she called Yang Daqiang to him and said,
"I met a scoundrel when I went out the front, but I was not afraid but I was too lazy to worry about it. My cousin went for us."
Yang Daqiang replied with a smile,
"Don't worry, cousin, leave this matter to me!"
Cleared the things in your hand, thought about it and asked,
"Whose are these?"
Of course, Mu Hongluan couldn't remember too much, so she took a few pictures and looked at them.
"This is green embroidery... this is purple mandarin orange... and yellow sprig... spring buds, and the rest are Dongxue and the others!"
Yang Daqiang narrowed his eyes with a smile, put his things in his arms, and then he happily went out.
When I came back, I gave the silver to a few girls, but I didn't take it out.
"The green embroidery can't be mixed, so I'll stay there for another two days!"
But he didn't take out the silver from Green Embroidery. Green Embroidery invested five taels of silver. It was said that the amount was 10 taels. Although the amount was not large, it was still an investment. Green Embroidery waited patiently for several days and had not waited until Yang Daqiang. He asked the servant to go out to ask, and then he only said that it was on duty. If the girl Green Embroidery asked for silver, she would go and look for him.
"This person..."
Lu Xiu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was ignorant of her ten taels of silver falling into the hands of the scoundrel. After thinking for two days, she couldn't help but go to find Yang Daqiang.
Yang Daqiang had been waiting for a long time and his neck stretched out. When he saw her coming, he was very happy. However, there were so many people in this place that he was not easy to talk to, so he took Luxiu to the lake outside to talk. Although Luxiu knew that he had some thoughts about him, he was a little scared of him from the bottom of his heart, so he stood there from a distance and asked.
"Why do others have money, but I don't?"
Yang Daqiang laughed,
"Why don't you have money for others? Green embroidery?..."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms, but he took out a box.
"There are all green embroidered here!"
Green Embroidered lip biting and reached out to take it. When she opened it, she saw that there were ten taels of silver and a palace flower inside. Green Embroidered lip bit more tightly. After thinking about it, she took out the silver, but handed the box back to him.
"I only want my own money, this thing... don't!"
Yang Daqiang's face felt a little sad, but he didn't reach out to answer, and said in a stern voice,
"No...it's not worth a few dollars, you...you accept it!"
Lu Xiu shook her head and stuffed the thing into his arms, and the man turned around and wanted to leave.
"Green embroidery!"
Green Embroidery lowered her head and said softly,
"You... don't give it away, I... I won't accept it either. I... I plan to get married again in my life. You... do your best, and there will always be good women waiting for you!"
As he spoke, Yang Daqiang stood there and saw her disappearing in the shade of willows by the lake, and he had not come back to his senses for a long time.
Green Embroidered returned to Jiuquwan but tears were already hanging from the corners of her eyes. She hurried back to her house and cried softly against the door. There were people on her left and right sides, so she didn't dare to whimper. She bit her lips tightly and let the tears fall down. After a while, the front was wet. After a while, she opened her wooden box, put the ten taels of silver and a pair of green cloth shoes together, and pressed them layer by layer under the box.
...
After the official family selected the beautiful girl, Lin'an city finally returned to peace. Yan Qisheng still practiced every five days, and Mu Hongluan was in charge of the backyard in the mansion. Although the couple had been married for such a long time, she felt uncomfortable every month. Although she sought medical treatment and had a lot of dark potions, it could alleviate the symptoms but could not break the roots.
Fortunately, the most uncomfortable lasted only three or five days, and after enduring, it was over. Mu Hongluan just thought it was a disaster that was due to her destiny, but she didn't care much. However, Yan Qisheng took it to heart and asked people to search for famous Chinese doctors in Lin'an City, but they had little effect. Later, they heard that there was a gynecology master in the countryside, and they also sent someone to visit him, asking him to go to the mansion of Puguo to take his pulse with the prince's wife for consultation.
The doctors went to the mansion to take their pulse, but only said that the prince's wife had poor blood and blood, and she would suffer pain every time she was menstruating, which would not affect her children. She only said that she was young and didn't have to get pregnant in a hurry, and she would have to wait for another year or two.
When Yan Yunqing heard about this, she only told her son,
"Let Changzhen take good care of her body, don't worry too much!"
Changzhen is a bit strong-willed and likes to do everything by herself. As time goes by, it is inevitable that she will be exhausted. If you have to worry about things in your heart, you will naturally feel depressed. If you continue for a long time, it will be detrimental to your body!
Yan Qisheng was also very worried about this. He only took her around every five days to practice mu, and said to her,
"Baosheng wrote a letter before, but it was not that the second sister was married, and the marriage between the third sister and the fourth sister was also decided? Baosheng was old. If he wanted to take the imperial examination in the future, he would still have to come to Lin'an to invite the great scholars!"
But she thought that Changzhen would not talk about it outside, but was afraid that she would also think about her parents' family. It would be better to let her father-in-law move to Lin'an. She could see her parents' family all the time, and she would lose her thoughts and relax her mood.
Mu Hongluan thought about it after hearing this,
"My second sister married at the beginning of the year. She was the one she chose to study. However, my father couldn't give up his business in Taiyuan, so he was afraid he wouldn't come to Lin'an!"
Yan Qisheng heard her tone loose, and said happily,
"Business is the best thing, so I send a trustworthy manager to do it. If my father-in-law still wants to do the horse gang business and open another branch, if he doesn't want to buy some field shops and be a rich man, it's also a good thing!"
Mu Hongluan was talked about by him. Thinking that Mu Da and Yang Sanniangzi were getting older, Baosheng's books were not known how well he read. With his temperament, he could only control him by putting them under his nose.
Nodded immediately,
"I wrote a letter and went back to tell my father in detail, only depending on the old man's meaning!"
Yan Qisheng struck while the iron was hot and urged him repeatedly,
"Write it soon. If you want to come, go on the road earlier than winter so as not to get cold on the road!"
Mu Hongluan replied with a smile,
"If you can have it so quickly, it will be completed next spring!"
Yan Qisheng felt that his father-in-law's business was pitiful. He said that the Yue family was connected to Lin'an City with his three sister-in-law's husband's family. It was a waste of money to raise the Duke of Puguo's mansion. Naturally, he could not say this to Changzhen, but he just urged her to say,
"Because there is a national mourning this year, the imperial examination will be temporarily gone, but once the year passes, I am afraid that the new emperor will be able to hold the enrollment exam. At that time, all the students from Lin'an will gather. If Baosheng can come soon, it will be a great benefit to listen, read, learn more, and learn more!"
Mu Hongluan was completely moved by what he said, so she wanted to go to the study to write a letter. Yan Qisheng followed happily.
"I'll grind it with Changzhen!"
The two of them went into the study and closed the door, but a letter was written for more than an hour. After hearing this, several girls blushed and retreated far away. When they came out, Mu Hongluan blushed and beat him,
"Can't you let me finish the business?"
Yan Qisheng smiled with a smug look satisfied,
"How come you don't do serious things? Isn't it just a matter of being loyal to your husband and wife? This kills two birds with one stone, and it's a great good thing!"
While speaking, I remembered the beautiful scenery in the study room, but I still felt a little unfulfilled, so I pulled Mu Hongluan and said,
"Changzhen, I suddenly remembered that I had to talk to my father-in-law. Why don't we go back and write another letter?"
Mu Hongluan saw his expression and knew that he had a bad idea. She couldn't help but kick him in anger.
"If you want to write, you write it yourself, I won't write it!"
Turning around and walking quickly, Yan Qisheng hurriedly followed him and chased him.
"How can this letter be written if it is not true?"
Mu Hongluan glanced at him and hit his lower abdomen with an elbow. Yan Qisheng fell on her shoulder with a whimper.
"Chang Zhenru Zhen is getting worse and worse. I am now suffering from internal injuries..."
At that moment, he was yelling to ask Youjin and Youbao to take leave in the camp outside the city, saying that he was ill and wanted to "write a letter" at home for three days. Mu Hongluan was so angry and funny that he reached out to twist him.
"Yan Dutou is so scoundrel, you need to let your brothers take a good look at your true face!"
Yan Qisheng leaned most of his body on her shoulders, and the two walked tilted, humming,
"When those kids saw you in front of you, they were all thinking about it. They shouted that they would go to the house to pay their respects to their sister-in-law. I saw that there was no good thing!"
Mu Hongluan teased,
"They are not good things, they are mixed with you, and you are afraid they are not good things either!"
Yan Qisheng glared at him,
"This woman...if you don't come back for a long time, you will become more and more courageous. You dare to scold your husband..."
As he said that, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and said,
"Will you have to go to the house and uncover the tiles if you don't fight for three days?"
Seeing this, Mu Hongluan waved her waist, put her bare hands on her feet and stomped her feet.
"What are you going to do? You still want to hit me!"
He started talking first, punched him in the face, Yan Qisheng leaned back and avoided, shouting,
"You dare to hit your husband!"
Mu Hongluan smiled and said,
"So what if you hit you? Look at me again!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already started to move their hands in the garden. They beat the water birds in the garden screaming and flapping their wings, and the beasts were running around, flapping their feathers all over the ground, and the fuzzy balls were floating around.
The servants in Duke Puguo's mansion had long been accustomed to it, and calmly coaxed the water bird away, led away the small beast, and left a clearing for the prince and the prince's wife to fist.
This little thing is no longer necessary to alarm the Duke of the State. Only today there are guests, but the secretary is less than the supervisor of Ziyang. This person is well-educated, and Tongtian Xiaoli is somewhat talented, and he is also very worldly. He has been in charge of the Secretariat for many years. Although he is not very favored by the emperor, he is still stable and has no wind or waves.
There is also a new emperor who valued the royal family and gradually emerged in the court. The power of Duke Puguo and his son was also effective among the court officials. Although Fei Ziyang was unwilling to be arrogant, he had to have a good relationship. He was always impartial and did not offend him, so that he could be safe without slander or praise and move forward steadily. This is the supreme method of mingling the officialdom.
