Chapter 30
After half a month passed, Yong An Bo hurried out of the capital.

He is not only an uncle, but also a general guarding the border, so it is not good for him to stay in the capital for a long time.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in Yong'an Bo Mansion suddenly changed.Originally when he was in the mansion, the servants in the mansion did not dare to take a breath, but as soon as he left, the servants in the mansion suddenly became more active.

Even Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, "The master is here, but the slaves don't even dare to speak loudly. I heard that someone was gossiping in the mansion before, and the master heard him, so he immediately called someone to beat him out."

"Don't worry," Yu Xia joked, "you are a popular person around me. Even if my father doesn't look at the monk or the Buddha, he won't let anyone chase you away."

"Girl," Yun Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Stop scaring the slaves."

"Okay," Yu Xia stretched, "Let's go, our good wife is still eagerly waiting for me at Yilan Courtyard. If I don't go, won't I waste a good show?"

These days, Uncle Yong'an is here, and the Yu Qin family has always been a low-key little girl. She is also polite to Yu Xia and the concubine daughters. It's going to be a fuss again.

Yu Xia dawdled, and finally arrived at Yilan Courtyard at the last quarter of an hour.

Yu Wan'er, who had been waiting to deal with her for a long time, her eyes were red with anger, "Mother, this little bitch is doing it on purpose! She relied on her father's support, and now she doesn't even think of you!"

"Wan'er, how many times has mother told you that you are the eldest lady of Yong'an Bo's mansion, and no one can surpass you. You have to change your irritable temper when things happen." She gritted her teeth with hatred, but still had a trace of demeanor, "She is a helpless girl, how can she fight me? Wan'er, you will be the mistress of an aristocratic family in the future, so you have to take a long-term view." .”

"I can't bear it!" Yu Waner stamped her feet impatiently, "A few days ago, the wife of the Minister of Etiquette came to you. Did she talk about that bitch's marriage? How could she be so lucky that she made an appointment with Brother Ran while she was still in her mother's womb? relative!"

"No matter how lucky you are, you have to have a life to enjoy. My son, remember what mother said, and bear with it." After all, it is her first child, and Yu Qin always treats Yu Wan'er a little more patiently.

"Ma'am, Miss Xia is here."

"Please come in." Yu Qinshi glanced at Yu Wan'er worriedly, motioned her to calm down, then got up and walked to the door, and greeted Yu Xia affectionately, "Xia'er is here? You came so late today, but you are not feeling well Alas, your child is always like this, you are always bored with everything, Hongxia, hurry up and get a pair of cards and invite a doctor."

"Don't bother Madam," Yu Xia smiled, "Thinking of my father's traveling all the way, he got up late at night, so don't blame Madam."

"No wonder, no wonder, Xia'er is so caring, if the master finds out, he will be happy. Come, sit down, let's have a good talk, mother and daughter."

"What does Madam want to say?" Yu Xia sat down and asked with a smile.

"Look," Yu Qinshi held her hand, "after Master came back, Xia'er seems to be much more lively, and she is no longer afraid of people."

"Where are you talking about Ma'am, you are the one my father is marrying, and I respect you, so I must abide by the etiquette."

"That's right, keep the etiquette, so why did Mrs. Shi Lang go to the government to accuse me?"

Yu Qinshi's expression suddenly changed, and he glared angrily, "Xia'er, I also watched you grow up, how could you be so unruly and do such private things?"

"Madam's words, I'm confused." Yu Xia pulled hard from Yu Qinshi's hand, which was tightly strangled by her nails.

"Are you confused? I think you are pretending to be confused with your understanding! Mrs. Shilang said that you were the one who made the sachet that the second son of her family wore around him! !"

"Ma'am," Yu Xia gently wiped the saliva on her face with a handkerchief, "you have to prove what you say. Even if you are the mistress of a mansion, you can't throw all the shit on me Put it on the head. Mrs. Shi Lang said that the sachet belonged to me, and the wife believed it. Could it be that she turned her elbow and talked to others instead?"

"What a clever mouth!" Yu Qinshi pointed at her and scolded, "Such disobedience to women is a disgrace to my Yu family!"

"When will the Yu family's face be supported by women?" Yu Xia snorted, "Where does my wife put my father? No one in the capital knows that my father is a grassroots, but he was defeated by his bravery." Your Majesty appreciates it, and today is what it is today. Could it be that Madam, are you questioning His Majesty's decision?"

"Presumptuous! Don't force your words!"

"Isn't the madam the one who makes unreasonable words?" Yu Xia's eyes were bright, and she seemed to see through Yu Qinshi's thoughts, "Madam Shilang came to the mansion a few days ago, if it is true as the wife said, why don't you talk about it while your father is still talking about it?" You know, but you have to wait until your father is gone before making a fuss about it? Madam's thoughts are really unpredictable."

"It's for your sake that I save face for you."

"I accept Madam's wishes, but the clean ones will clean themselves up. Even if this matter comes up to Sheng Jia, I will not be afraid."

"You?" Yu Qinshi glanced at her contemptuously, "Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how can I have the time to meet you, a fluffy girl? What a daydream! I advise you to—"

"Madam! It's not good, it's not good!"

"Who is making noise outside!" Yu Qinshi frowned, "Mother Wang, go and see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

Nanny Wang is Yu Qinshi's nanny, watching her grow up, she regards her as her own, and as soon as Yu Qinshi gave orders, Nanny Wang immediately withdrew.

After about a cup of tea, Wang Momo came back with a sullen face, as if she was owed money, "Madam, someone from the palace said that His Majesty wants to... summon Miss Xia."

"Yu Xia?!" Yu Qinshi couldn't control it, and called out loudly, "How could Your Majesty think of meeting her?"

"I don't know, the old slave, the people in the palace are waiting outside, Madam, look..."

"You're lucky!" Yu Qinshi gave Yu Xia a hard look, then flung his sleeves and entered the inner room. Yu Wan'er beside her was also furious, "This time I've given you an advantage! Just wait for me!"

Yu Xia's expression did not change, she looked at Wang Momo and said, "Isn't someone coming to the palace, please ask Momo to lead the way."

Wang Momo looked at her suspiciously, feeling that since Uncle Yong'an returned home, something was out of control...

No matter how Wang Momo stared at her gloomyly, Yu Xia sat in the carriage in the palace calmly and drove all the way to the gate of the palace. The accompanying aunt explained, "Horse carriages are not allowed here, get off later." After getting out of the car, the girl followed the servant, don't run into the nobleman."

"Thank you, auntie." Yu Xia took out a sachet from her sleeve and stuffed it into it. The aunt took it knowingly and found that there were banknotes inside, and her smile became even brighter, "Although there are many rules in this palace, as long as If you act carefully, girl, everything will go smoothly..."

Yu Xia followed the aunt all the way to the imperial study, and waited outside for a quarter of an hour. The little eunuch who sent the message came over quickly, "Your Majesty summoned this girl."

Yu Xia lowered her head slightly, and walked in without looking sideways. As soon as she entered, she knelt on the ground and made a big salute, "Minister Yu Xia, see the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Get up." A majestic and powerful voice sounded.

Yu Xia didn't dare to dawdle, and got up quickly.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?" The master of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the current emperor Chongming, looked up at her while approving the memorial.

"Minnv's boldness is presumably because of the dowry left by her mother."

Even though Yu Xia's biological mother was only from a merchant family, the Xie family, an imperial merchant, had a wealth of wealth and almost monopolized the entire Jiangnan area. This matter is still talked about.

Although the Xie family suffered disaster later, leaving only an orphan daughter, who was Yu Xia's biological mother, and the Xie family fell into poverty because of this, but the wealth of the Xie family of the imperial merchants at its peak was incomparable to the country, and no one can match it up to now.

"That dowry is not a small amount. Do you really want to hand it in?"

Although the Xie family claimed to be bankrupt, the family has been in business for many years, so how could they not hold back?The wealth left to her by Yu Xiasheng's mother overtly and secretly,
Enough to be worth one-third of the treasury's silver taels.Although a part of it was taken over by Uncle Yong'an before, but it was put on the bright side, and Yu Qinshi caught red eyes. It is conceivable how huge this property is.This time when Uncle Yong'an came back, he not only helped Yu Xia get back the dowry withheld by Yu Qinshi and the old lady, but also returned the part that was kept by him.

"Minnv have always had no ambitions. Although there is a lot of money, with the intelligence of the minnv, it is impossible to keep it. It is better to hand it over to the national treasury. To tell you the truth, the minnv has hidden a private house in private. It’s a lot, but it’s enough for women to eat.”

"You are straightforward, tell me, what do you want?"

"Minnv has the guts to ask His Majesty to issue an order to withdraw the marriage between Minnv and Fei Yuanran."

"Fei Yuanran?"

"It was him."

"Fei Yuanran, I remember that he won the No. [-] prize at the beginning of the year. He has a bright future. Such a marriage is very good. Do you really want to retire?"

"Although Fei Yuan is kind, he is not a good man. He already has a place in his heart, and the sachet he wears with him is also a gift from his sweetheart. It has attracted all the noble girls to regard the girls of the people as their enemies. Those who repay their enmity with such kindness will not marry."

"Why don't you let your father decide the matter of the marriage contract?" Emperor Chongming put down his pen, and his expression was indifferent.

"Father has already stated that he will fulfill his promise to the daughter of the people and protect my life, but he will not interfere in other matters.

As for the dowry, apart from retiring the engagement, the girl also wants to ask His Majesty for an order. Please allow the girl to decide on her own marriage! "

"that's it?"

"That's all." Yu Xia smiled, "Ministers have no other skills, but they also have self-knowledge. Even if I ask His Majesty for other rewards today, I can't keep them. It's the best of both worlds for a woman who hates a person without being manipulated by others."

"It's such a small matter, why not agree to you!"

With a swipe of his pen, Emperor Chongming not only granted Yu Xia's first two requests, but also granted her the title of Town Lord, titled "An Ning", and a rank of fourth rank.Although the Xiangjun did not have a fief, according to the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, the Xiangjun could receive a salary of 100 taels a year.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that with the title of Xiangjun, Yu Xia's status is the same as that of a fourth-rank official. On weekdays, he does not need to salute concubines with lower status, while those from various prefectures If a female family member has no rank, they should bow to her when they see her.
