Chapter 53: Sure enough, corrupt money is depraved
She took the letterhead, wrote a post, and sent someone to the Ningyuanhou Mansion.
However, what Shen Mingjiao didn't know was that the letter did not fall into Gu Danxue's hands in the end, but was intercepted by the current wife of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wang.
Ms. Wang pinched the letterhead representing Su Wang's mansion in her hand, with a look of anxiety and panic, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Gu Erye back.
Not long after, Second Master Gu came over. He was a concubine of Marquis Ning Yuan.
But this has raised the appetite of some people.
Second Master Gu was born with an honest look, but what he said was very shrewd:
"What are you panicking about? Didn't you say that Danxue took the Liuyun brocade rewarded by the palace to Princess Su last time? I guess that Princess Su's post to Dan Xue was only for the sake of Liuyun brocade. After all, she has never heard of it before. I have said that Danxue has some kind of friendship with Concubine Su."
Mr. Wang gritted his teeth angrily when Liuyunjin was mentioned, it was a good prize from the palace!
"The dead girl really has hard wings, and she knows to please Princess Su, what a white-eyed wolf!" Then she asked worriedly:
"If that dead girl really picked up Princess Su, then we..."
Ning Yuanhou only has one daughter, Gu Danxue. As long as they destroy Gu Danxue, the family property of the Dahou Mansion will be their second wife.
Gu Erye sneered: "This is not easy to deal with. I heard that Su Wangfei has a domineering temperament and is at odds with Ningyue and the others. If you burn this post, don't let Danxue know about it, and then encourage Ningyue and the others to get along with her." Shang Danxue went out together,
When the two parties meet, Princess Su learns that Dan Xue not only did not accept her invitation, but also follows Ning Yue and the others, what will Princess Su think? "
Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she chuckled lightly: "With this Princess Su's temper, maybe she can punish that dead girl severely on the spot!"
She thought resentfully in her heart that it would be better to kill people directly, so that Ning Yuanhou would be cut off, and the whole Hou's mansion would only belong to their second wife.
At this time, Gu Danxue was staring at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, and there was a stack of portraits of men on the table, and the close maid Qiuchan was chattering and persuading her:
"Girl, listen to this servant's persuasion, although you are the only daughter of Lord Hou, but you have lost your mother since you were a child, and you look so..."
Qiu Chan deliberately paused, and then said: "Although the conditions of the sons that the second lady showed you are not as good as those of the Hou family, but your own situation is right there, if the conditions of the husband's family you find are too good, you are afraid I can't hold back..."
If someone hears these words, they will probably be very surprised. When can a maid be so arrogant!
But Gu Danxue was used to being bullied and bullied since she was a child, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She just lowered her head and instinctively glanced at the broad back that was tightly strangled by clothes, which was different from ordinary women.
Laughing at himself weakly in his heart, he picked up a portrait in a daze. The man in the portrait had ordinary facial features and a beard.
She vaguely remembered the information about this person. He was a widower and had several children. The eldest son was only four years younger than her. She remembered what the second aunt said:
"Although Mr. Liu is a bit older, he is honest and will never despise you..."
She lowered her head, and she instinctively dared not refute the resignation she had been brought up since she was a child, but she felt a little unwilling in her heart. Why could she only marry such a person?
Qiu Chan glanced at Gu Danxue who was sitting dumbfounded, with contempt flashing across her eyes.
…
Shen Mingjiao received Gu Danxue's refusal, but she didn't care too much about it, she only thought that the other party might really have something to do. After all, the possibility of lying with Gu Danxue's character is unlikely.
However, she put on light makeup and led Haitang happily out shopping.
The first stop is of course Jinxiufang, not only because Jinxiufang is the largest clothing store in Beijing,
It was because she had no money last time, so she just made do with buying a fan—although in Haitang's opinion, that fan was worth the monthly silver of her three years in the Hou's Mansion, and it was definitely a valuable luxury.
But Shen Mingjiao still feels that it is very aggrieved to see beautiful clothes but not be able to afford them.
So in order to vent her grievances last time, she brought enough money this time, and waited to buy it after entering the store.
Haitang saw that her daughter was going to Jinxiufang, so she glanced at the deserted beautiful pavilion opposite.
Why! My girl is going to give money to the other party again!
The master and servant entered Jinxiufang, and the lobby was crowded with many people. Shen Mingjiao noticed that Jinxiufang seemed to be extremely lively today, and there were many gorgeous carriages parked at the door. It seemed that there was another large-scale banquet in Beijing.
Sure enough... Walking along the way, I heard a few excited comments from official women:
"I heard that this time the old lady of the Yasukuni Mansion celebrates her birthday, and the famous people in Beijing will go there. It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also go. My sister should dress up well, maybe..."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and continued to walk up to the second floor.
The old lady of the Duke of Yasukuni's mansion, Pei Ji's grandmother, she met when she was a child, she is a very well-behaved old lady.
In order to restore the power of Tongcheng for the imperial court, the Yasukuni family did not hesitate to be exiled to the border for several years. Therefore, Jing and Emperor, in order to promote the Yasukuni government, reckoned that she would also go as Princess Su at that time.
But she doesn't care. From her point of view, she and Pei Ji's bad idea has already been overturned.
As soon as I reached the second floor, it was quieter in an instant. Although there were obviously more people than usual, the goods on the second floor were expensive, so there were only a few people who could really afford them.
Turning the corner, she picked up a water-blue teardrop-shaped forehead from the shelf, and compared it to her head. The clear and translucent glass pendant made her peach eyes more eye-catching.
She thought it was not bad, and handed it directly to the female attendant behind her, "Wrap it up."
Haitang glanced at the price on it: three hundred and ninety-nine taels,
Having experienced the large warehouse of King Su's Mansion, she actually felt that the price was just that, and she even wondered why she didn't just pay four hundred taels, so that it would be convenient to pay the money, right?
Sure enough, corrupt money is depraved!
Shen Mingjiao felt that he was staring at her unkindly,
Turned my head and looked, yo ho! It was Xu Ningyue again.
Seeing the other party staring at her with hatred, Shen Mingjiao lightly raised her red lips, and carelessly stroked her hair:
"Miss Xu, don't come here without any problems, oh yes, I like the clothes that Miss Xu gave me last time,"
She chuckled softly: "Your Highness asked me to thank Miss Xu, he said that I look beautiful in that dress!"
Xu Ningyue's eyes turned red with anger, that incident was simply a shame to her. But now that Shen Mingjiao is married to King Su, no matter how much she hates her, she dare not confront Shen Mingjiao directly.
Only dared to curse in a very low voice, "Shameless,"
Shen Mingjiao saw how she dared to be angry but didn't speak up, and her smile became brighter and brighter.
What to do, she likes to see the other party hate her to death but can't do her!
