Chapter 73 Hidden Tricks (recommended votes will be added)
"In this case, fire and water are naturally incompatible. Even if you want to please the King of Min, it would be superfluous to find a concubine here and send her to the palace."
If you want to please King Min, for the king's concubine, you only need to teach the son of Mrs. Haoqi.
Even if you become an heir to the lineage of a royal concubine in the future, your heart will naturally favor whom the child should belong to.
At this time, why are you rushing to send some concubines to take away the favor of the king's concubine?
Isn’t this a foolish move?
Therefore, there must be a lot of stories behind it.
Shang Ji wants it, and Du Jingyi naturally wants it too.
So he gave Luo Yuan an order.
“Keep a close eye on Prince Min’s palace, especially the princess and the princess, and report any changes immediately!”
"yes!"
After Du Jingyi heard this and summed up the news he heard from his parents when he returned home yesterday, he started to make plans in his mind.
It has to be said that God is still very partial to her.
Yesterday I just decided to tidy up three and five bedrooms, so today I sent a knife.
So, with a bit of calculation in his eyes, he spoke to Shang Ji.
“General, I have a way to make the three-bedroom and five-bedroom dogs bite the dogs.”
"what you up to?"
“The news that the Min Palace is looking for your concubine will naturally be released. As for what happens next, we will just watch the show.”
Hearing this, Shang Ji also laughed.
Although the smile was faint, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
In the past, he did not tidy up three or five houses. That was because he was away fighting all the time.
Now that everyone else has returned to Sui'an City, there is no need for these relatives to pull their legs and **** blood anymore.
Since we are going to bulldoze the country and ascend to the throne, we cannot keep those who need to be cleaned up.
The crowd outside the window is still noisy, and the commotion in the Duke's Mansion will become even more noisy next time.
Two days later, Shang Wulang hurried back from outside.
There was uncontrollable excitement on his face, but he was afraid of being seen by others, so he suppressed it very hard.
As soon as he entered Yingjuan Courtyard, the joy on his face was no longer concealed.
Hurry into the main house of my grandparents, and then say to the people next to me.
"Go and invite the masters of the courtyard over. I have something to say to them."
"yes."
After the others left, he cheered up and entered the door happily.
Since receiving the one hundred taels of silver, Wufang's life has been much more comfortable than before.
On the other hand, after returning from guarding the mausoleum, the formerly arrogant and domineering Fifth Old Master seemed to be more behaved than before.
Probably because I was too poor while guarding the tomb, as soon as I returned to Sui'an City, I rushed into the opium den.
Having been puffing away for a while.
As is the case outside, it is also the case at home.
The five old ladies originally wanted to divide the one hundred taels of silver without any effort into three coins, and they and their two sons would get some.
However, after the fifth old man knew the news, he took half of it and gave the rest to his children and grandchildren.
Fifty taels of silver is either too much or too little.
But the money came really easily. He thought that when the money was spent, he would find an excuse to continue looking for money from Du Jingyi.
It’s pretty easy to handle anyway!
Thinking like this, his subordinates spent even more money.
Shang Wulang saw the fifth old man puffing away smoke when he entered the door. This thing was imported and expensive.
In the past, the fifth old man only saw people using it outside, and he did not have any extra money to buy it and enjoy it.
But now, even a box of thirty taels of hibiscus ointment is willing to buy, and I really don’t care about money. Shang Wulang didn't know what hibiscus ointment was. He only saw the enjoyment on his grandfather's face, so he clasped his fists and shouted.
“Grandpa, my grandson is back.”
While still enjoying the happiness brought by the hibiscus ointment, he heard the noise. The fifth old man opened his eyes and saw Shang Wulang.
That smile makes you happy.
“Hey, Wulang is back, come on, come on, grandpa will show you a good baby!”
Shang Wulang did not doubt that he was there, so he stepped forward and got close to him.
The fifth old man stretched out his hand and handed over the cigarette pole, saying with satisfaction in his eyes.
“Try it, it’s good stuff!”
Shang Wulang took a puff of it doubtfully. The smell was a bit pungent, and it seemed no different from the dry cigarettes his father used in daily life.
After coughing twice, he returned the cigarette pole to the fifth old man.
“Grandpa, please use it yourself. My grandson doesn’t like the taste.”
The fifth old man looked ignorant, so he took it and started smoking again.
Each bite was like the ultimate joy that penetrated the soul, making him temporarily forget many worries and sorrows.
Seeing him like this, Shang Wulang felt that it was a bit exaggerated, so he tried to persuade him.
“Grandpa, you should smoke less of this, it’s not good for your health after all.”
“Okay, okay, whatever Wulang says is whatever it is.”
In front of Shang Wulang, the fifth old man, a grandfather, was particularly pampered.
Seeing him put down his cigarette pole, Shang Wulang came over and said mysteriously.
“My grandson heard great news today. It’s really time for our fifth house to turn around. Otherwise, why would we be sending money one after another!”
When he heard the word "silver", not to mention Shang Wulang, even the fifth old man was stunned and his eyes brightened a lot.
“What should I say? Have you found any opportunity to make a fortune?”
“It’s not a grandson, it’s my seventh sister’s blessing.”
"she?"
The fifth old man and his wife gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Apart from the married daughter, the two sons have been living with them in the Duke's Mansion.
The eldest son Shang Yuding, who outsiders call Shang Erye, and his wife Guo had three daughters, namely Erniang, Sanniang and Qiniang.
The younger son Shang Yu'an, who is called Fourth Master Shang outside, and his wife Ni have a son and a daughter, Shang Wulang and Shang Wuniang.
Leaving aside the younger son's one-bedroom apartment, among the three girls in the eldest son's one-bedroom apartment, the first two are already married, but Shang Qiniang is still waiting to be married.
According to her age, she should have gotten married long ago.
It's just that the fifth old man from a well-known family who came to marry her didn't like her, and the family he liked was unwilling to accept the position of his wife, and was only willing to use her as a concubine.
Naturally, everything that came and went has been delayed until now.
Eighteen years old, she can be considered an old girl.
If it were delayed any longer, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a suitable person to marry her, so Qiniang's marriage has always been a worry for Wufang.
However, parents don’t worry.
Father Shang Yuding was drunk and dreaming all day long, so he had no choice but to come back.
And the mother, Mrs. Guo, could not speak in the back house and was beaten by her husband at any time. Therefore, she had no confidence and was unable to find a good husband for her daughter.
So, the news that Shang Wulang heard now can be said to save Wufang from fire and water.
So he said with a smile.
“Grandpa, please wait until everyone is ready, and then we will talk about my grandson.”
The fifth old man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the confidential look on his face.
