"Your Excellency loves your servants so much, so naturally your servants can't help but appreciate it."
Hua Chun originally prepared many plans to persuade her to agree to help, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so considerate, and she agreed so readily without saying anything, and even gave her the steps.
In this way, she felt very embarrassed instead: "I will treat you well. When you have someone else you like, I will find a way to make you stay and fly together, and I will definitely let you live a good life."
"Thank you, sir." Qingyou smiled: "Let's talk about it later when we meet. Now, what does your lord want to do, tell the servant, and the servant will cooperate well."
"Okay." Hua Chun nodded, told the servants next to her to take good care of her, and went to Wan Shi to announce the good news.
"She agreed?" Wan Shi frowned: "Very refreshing?"
"Yes." Hua Chun said: "It will be easier this way, as I will be free recently, mother can just prepare for the wedding."
Frowning worriedly, Wan Liufang said: "Son, have you ever thought that this girl was sent by Gong Yuhou, and if she agreed so readily, would it be deceitful?"
"I thought about it." Hua Chun nodded, "But my son decided to believe her."
"Why?" Wan Shi was puzzled: "You've only known her not long ago, and people's hearts are far away."
This is true, it applies everywhere, people who seem to be nice to you on the surface may be plotting against you behind the scenes.
She understands the truth, but Hua Chun is willing to trust Qing Niao once, whether it is because she is very similar to Qin Niao or because she is very gentle, anyway, there is no other way but to trust her now.
"My son won't make her suspicious. Let's eat as if there are more people in the family."
Wan Shi was extremely worried, and his eyes lost the spirit he used to have when he was arguing with others, so he only sighed for a long time: "Okay."
It is considered a big event in Huafu that the eldest and young master want to get married. Wan shi talked to Master Hua for a while, Master Hua didn't object, but he didn't like to see Qing Niao very much, after all, he came from a brothel, even if he was sent by Gong Yuhou, it wouldn't be a good match.
But the other aunts in the yard became even more noisy. When Mrs. Ren heard the news, she took melon seeds and went to the garden with the others to talk.
"I thought that by rejecting the marriage between Li Zhongtang and Tang Taishi's family, the young master must want to marry someone better. Unexpectedly, he welcomed a prostitute back. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Tang and Li families?"
"Isn't that right? Earlier, Madam also swore that the Eldest Young Master would rather be short than excessive. I didn't expect that after being absent for such a long time, I still chose a... tsk tsk."
After being aggrieved for several days, Mrs. Ren finally felt at ease today, rolled her eyes and smiled brightly: "Don't say that, our wife is generous, and I will treat this young master well. The daughter-in-law I chose personally. It’s just a dignified prime minister, and the main family is from a brothel, so I don’t know how people in the court will laugh at it.”
She wished that Hua Jinghua could not lift her head up in front of everyone, so that her hatred would be relieved!
Just when I was proud, I saw the young man next to the master approaching from the other side of the garden.
Several aunts exchanged winks, and they all fell silent.
"Master Ren." The boy came over to salute: "There is news from the palace, I ask you to go to the front hall and listen."
Palace? Aunt Ren's eyes lit up.
Since Liuying was demoted last time, she hasn't received any news from the palace, but this time it finally does, maybe it's a surprise.
After clapping her hands, Aunt Ren immediately walked forward with her skirt in hand, and met Wan Shi who was also walking towards the front hall on the way.
"Yo." Aunt Ren was in a good mood, she went over and bowed when she saw someone: "What are you doing in the front hall, madam? Are you busy with the young master's marriage?"
Wan Shi gave her a sideways look, and said: "The emperor has rewarded me, and Jinghua has something to do, so naturally I, a mother, have to worry about it."
reward? Ren Shi was taken aback, thinking that the reward from the palace should be given to her, how could it be given to Wan Shi? Got it wrong
Unconvinced and followed behind, Ren didn't say much, but just seeing Wan's complacent look made him feel angry. She kept thinking in her heart that if the reward was given to her later, she would definitely humiliate Wan Shi.
However, this idea was doomed to fail.
The eunuch Huangmen brought two messages.
"Congratulations on the prime minister's wedding. The emperor specially issued an order to reward the prime minister with thirty bolts of palace silk, one hundred taels of gold, ten pairs of emerald plum flower hairpins with gilt dots, a pair of white jade Ruyi, a palace Buddha, and two pairs of golden peony heads in silk. Reward the prime minister for his loyalty to the emperor."
Wan's brows were filled with joy, and he quickly kowtowed to thank him. Mrs. Ren kowtowed after her, quietly looking at the mahogany box brought in by the eunuch behind her from the corner of her eye.
After reading so much, there are only ten loads of silk and two mahogany boxes, nothing else. That is, without her.
How did that happen
"There is another piece of news." Seeing that Prime Minister Hua was not in the mansion, the Huangmen eunuch said to Master Hua: "Yesterday, Concubine Hua seemed to have angered the Holy Majesty again. This morning, the concubine's position in the palace was changed, and Concubine Hua was demoted to Hua. concubine."
Master Hua's face turned pale, and Mrs. Ren was even more stupid, she looked up at the eunuch blankly: "What did you say?"
The eunuch looked back at her, ignored her, and dragged Mr. Hua away, muttering in a low voice: "In the past, slaves were often taken care of by the prime minister, so today I will mention one or two points. It is better to send a girl who is suitable for marriage to the palace."
Hua Zhengrong was silent for a while, then gave the eunuch some money, thanked him a few times, and sent all the palace servants out in person.
"This...how did this happen?!" Kneeling on the ground, Ren still didn't get up, staring blankly at the two mahogany boxes: "Liuying has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, how could she keep annoying the emperor? She just demoted the imperial concubine earlier, and now What's the point of directly lowering the concubine position? The sun doesn't go down so fast!"
Wan was humming a tune in a good mood, and ignored her at all. Looking at the jewelry bestowed by the emperor, he was very happy, and said to Master Hua who had returned, "Master, come and see, it is indeed something from the palace. They are all so delicate!"
Master Hua had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. He glanced at those things, nodded and said, "Just keep it for Hua'er. When he comes back, tell him to let him come to my study."
"Yes." Wan Shi agreed, raised her eyebrows and asked the maid next to her to lift up all the boxes, glanced at Ren Shi who was kneeling and chattering, raised her chin and let the people walk around her three times, gloating " "Oops" and walked away in awe.
Ren's teeth were itching with anger, and she looked at Hua Zhengrong acting like a baby: "Master, look at her!"
Hua Zhengrong looked very serious, staring at her and said: "What's so interesting? Thanks to her giving birth to Jinghua, otherwise Liuying offended the emperor every day, and my Hua family was implicated early in the morning!"
With a jump in her heart, Mrs. Ren knelt obediently and did not dare to say anything more.
It's been too late recently, since Hua Jinghua was beaten, she and Liuying have had bad luck one after another, maybe they bumped into a villain, right? Should I burn incense
She suddenly felt a little desperate. When Liu Ying was a noble concubine, she could still be proud of herself. Now she is just a concubine and was demoted by the emperor. She will be left out for a long time, and she has no confidence to fight Wan Shi. .
It is necessary to find another way out.
Hua Chun went out to look for He Chang'an.
After all, he is also the matchmaker between himself and Qingyou, logically speaking, if you want to get married, you have to invite him to drink a glass of matchmaker wine, so Hua Chun went to visit He's mansion while there was no money left.
"Jinghua." Seeing him coming, He Chang'an was naturally happy, but the rumors about the court this morning had already spread, so he would inevitably feel worried: "Are you okay?"
Hua Chun looked puzzled: "What can I do? It's just a happy event. I'm here to invite my second brother to prepare a wedding wine."
"Huh?" He Changan raised his eyebrows: "Who do you want to marry?"
"It's the girl my second brother gave me, Qing Niao." Hua Chun looked at him with a smile: "You don't remember?"
He Changan: "..."
He remembered it right, but, Qing Ling is just a brothel girl, how can she be a regular wife
"What's the matter?" Hua Chun took the tea handed by the maid next to him, looked at him and said, "Second Brother, do you think something is wrong?"
"You're married, so you're in a hurry." After being bored for a long time, He Chang'an said: "It's totally possible to think about it in the long run."
Hua Chun shook his head, patted his thigh and said: "Second brother, you don't know, it's very difficult for me to get married, and the emperor doesn't even give me a holiday! If I don't think that I will be free in the near future, I don't want to get married so soon .”
This is simply a limited time sale. After this period of time, I don't know when the next time I will be free.
Glancing at him blankly, He Changan raised his eyebrows: "The emperor won't even give you a holiday to get married?"
"That's right." Hua Chun said aggrievedly: "Anyway, I have worked hard for so many years, not to mention overtime pay, not even any benefits."
This is strange, He Changan smiled lowly, how could he remember that there is a rule in the court that important ministers can take three days off when they get married, and Yu Wenjie is bullying people again, right
"I have to go to the palace and talk to the emperor." He said, "It's because he always treats you so harshly that those ministers dare to bully you like that today."
When mentioning this matter, Hua Chun was still a little depressed, shrugging his shoulders and said: "As long as they are happy, in the future, no matter what booklets are handed over by themselves, it will save me trouble."
"Don't think like this." He Chang'an said: "The emperor still needs you very much, but he has an awkward temper and refuses to bow his head. His attitude determines the attitude of most officials in the court, so I can only wrong you."
"Sigh." Hua Chun shook his head: "It's okay, I will continue to be loyal to the Holy One."
Although he is ruthless, shameless and unreasonable, who made him the emperor
Looking at the frowning look on this person in front of him, He Chang'an felt that he was a bit cute, and couldn't help but ask his servants to comfort him with the snacks just made in the house: "Try this."
"Thank you, Second Brother." Hua Chun looked at the glutinous rice balls on the plate, licked his lips, took it, and stuffed one into his mouth.
