The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo
Chapter 223 The ripples caused by the crying poor letter in Chang'an
At this time, I heard Ling Moxiao say: "Although it can't solve the urgent problem of relieving the eyebrows, it can make a long-term plan. Now let the horses select a group of young mares for training."
Mr. Pang quietly lowered his eyes and smiled in his heart, "Look, our prince never lets the princess's words fall to the ground!"
Then I heard King Ling say to the princess: "As for where to get a batch of good horses now, I have already figured it out, so don't worry, madam."
Shen Dongsu smiled tenderly at Ling Mo Xiao, nodded and said, "Yes, I will make more salt and coal for the prince."
Mr. Pang partially covered the scene with a fan and watched the interaction between the prince and the princess from the shadows. The more he watched, the deeper his smile became, just like the smile of a loving father who is enjoying a meal.
Alas, when people get old, they like to see young people so sweet.
Scanning the table, Shen Linzhong was lowering his head to eat the food. Well, he was still ignorant.
Mo Xiujin's eyes were wandering, obviously he was moved by the scene and was missing his sweetheart.
Well, this is enlightening, but it is a pity that it is difficult for lovers to get married.
Jia Si was eating the food and looking at Yue Mi next to the princess from time to time.
This is half-awakened, and it will take some time before it can be truly enlightened.
Mr. Pang transformed from a military advisor to a melon-eating maniac. After the princess arrived, Youzhou City became much more interesting!
While waiting for the Jiang family to deliver food, the Imperial Army escorting Princess Ling returned to Chang'an.
How did Commander Shan give that letter to the emperor, and how did he tell the emperor what he saw and heard along the way?
Only he, the emperor and the living officials knew about it. It was said that the emperor read Princess Ling's handwritten letter that day and saw it late at night.
The next day in the morning, his eyes were red, and he asked the eunuch to read it without missing a word.
Baiguan frowned when he heard this. With such plain writing, even if he had studied for two more years, he wouldn't have written like this!
But as I listened, I felt something different. Although they had been in high positions for a long time, at this moment, they seemed to have entered the border town mentioned in the letter.
As for the princelings and nobles, they found it ridiculous and all of them were suppressing laughter.
I despised Prince Ling so much that he actually asked the village girl to write such a letter and send it to the Emperor before his case!
This is just crying for poverty! This is really in line with Princess Ling's status. Rural people are the best at crying about poverty!
Like nobles and nobles, even if their family fortunes are in decline, they will maintain their dignity and not let outsiders see it.
Noble women never wear the clothes they wear twice when they go out, and the gifts given by men are always more expensive and exquisite.
Prince Ling is so embarrassed. When word spreads throughout the world, everyone in the world will laugh at him. He married a village girl, but instead of turning the village girl into a noblewoman, he was led by the village girl to become a farmer!
The prince could hardly hide his smile, so he had to lower his head and try not to laugh out loud.
Ordinary officials were a little moved when they heard this, especially those from poor families. They felt that what Princess Ling wrote in her letter was what they saw in their hometown.
At this time, the emperor was heard patting his thigh and saying with red eyes: "As a prince of the royal family, it is his duty to go to the border to defend against enemies."
"There is no reason for my daughter-in-law to have to endure hardships! Princess Ling sympathized with Prince Ling's difficulties at the border. She brought twenty cars of dowry, but she distributed them all in one day..."
Baiguan: ...your wife there is just a village girl! Where can I get twenty cartloads of dowry? It would be great to be able to marry someone with a few quilts!
This was obviously prepared by Prince Ling's Mansion. It was said to be a dowry in order for the princess to be brought to Youzhou smoothly.
The emperor scolded the Ministry of War again, why are military supplies to Youzhou always not delivered on time? He actually let the soldiers eat vinegar cloth and old rice for several months?
Because the last commander-in-chief of Youzhou was Chen Xingyao, the Ministry of War hurriedly passed the blame to the Chen family, saying that when Chen Xingyao was in office, military resources and military expenditures were sufficient.
Chen Guogong:......
What can he do? Can he say in public that his son was so frightened by the enemy that he fled Youzhou without even seeing the military expenditure?
One of his son's hands is now broken. Although Princess Ling has taken it back, he can't lift heavy objects, let alone hold a sword or draw a bow. He can only rest at home.
He's already miserable enough, and the Ministry of War still blames him for it!
Chen Guogong scolded the Ministry of War and asked him to take out the brochure for sending supplies to Youzhou. It has been more than a year since King Ling went to Youzhou, but you are using the supplies from a year ago to make an argument?
The Ministry of War also involved the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that controlling the plague had used too much money and stored grain from the treasury, so there was no new grain for Youzhou.
Anyway, the court turned into a quarrel in the end, and the princelings were there to watch the joke. This letter from Princess Ling had offended all the ministers.
The prince said to the emperor like a joke: "I don't know what my brothers and sisters want? Well, I will take some silver grain from my private treasury and give it to Youzhou!"
Just like a poor relative who comes to visit for a meal, he will refuse anyone who wants to save face.
The prince thought that the emperor would refuse on behalf of Prince Ling, because if he started this way, Prince Ling would become the first prince who was so poor that he needed rewards from others!
In this way, his reputation as a brother, friend and brother-in-law was restored without any loss at all.
At the same time, he could go outside and ridicule King Ling. He was so poor at the border that he had to eat his wife's dowry, so he, his brother, came to reward him!
Hahahaha, just thinking about it, the prince felt so happy that the pores all over his body became unblocked.
Ever since that annoying couple left Chang'an City, everything has gone much smoother for him! Now that both the Crown Princess and the concubine are pregnant, as long as he gives birth to his eldest son, the position of the Crown Prince will be more stable.
The Queen Mother has not been in trouble recently. When the Crown Princess gives birth to her legitimate son, she will take advantage of the child's full moon to have a banquet. The Emperor is happy. If he begs for mercy, the Queen Mother can be moved out of the cold palace...
The prince was just thinking about beauty when he heard the emperor ask him seriously: "How much money are you going to give the prince?"
The prince was stunned, that's not right! You really want it!
He hurriedly stammered and replied: "Thousands of taels of silver and ten thousand catties of grain."
The emperor sneered: "Are you sending the beggars away, or are you supporting the border?"
The prince suddenly became sweaty on his forehead. This was causing him to bleed profusely!
Since the collapse of the Lu family, his money bag has been half empty, barely enough to spend on himself, so how can he give Prince Ling more?
Seeing that he was nervous and didn't answer, the emperor said loudly on his behalf: "To support Youzhou, the prince specially donated ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand catties of grain!"
"All ministers should follow the example of the prince and contribute to the hardworking border officers and border people."
"Come on, let's talk about it. How much money are you prepared to give?"
All the officials were shocked. The emperor not only wanted the prince to bleed, he also wanted to bleed theirs!
But I don’t know that the emperor is even more angry. My daughter-in-law is jealous of cloth and sand at the border, but you are here with fine clothes and fine food, and you also mock your daughter-in-law for being a village girl!
If it weren't for me, a village girl and my daughter-in-law, the plague in Chang'an would have killed so many people! You are ungrateful and mock her everywhere!
The smart official quickly agreed: "I am willing to pay a year's salary."
Others finally came to their senses and came forward, willing to contribute a year's salary.
However, Chen Guogong was an exception and said he was willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver and 50,000 jins of grain.
This was because he didn't want to cross the crown prince and embarrass him.
Chen Guogong is wiping Chen Xingyao's butt. With his donation, no one will be able to use Chen Xingyao's lack of military spending in Youzhou as an issue.
Chen Xingyao is still young, and it is impossible for him to stay out of officialdom for the rest of his life. Although this incident has become a stain on his resume, the stain cannot be allowed to expand.
At the same time, Shen Dongsu cured Chen Xingyao of the plague and helped him take over.
Although Chen Guogong never said anything due to his position, he was still grateful to Princess Ling.
Just take this opportunity to let Chen Xingyao return her favor, so that when the two families fight to the death in the future, there will be no need to talk about the old relationship.
At this time, Shen Dongsu didn't know how powerful her cry for poverty was!
Sure enough, home is the epitome of a country. Children who cry can eat sweets, and it is practical everywhere.
What's even more interesting is that after this incident spread throughout Chang'an, the Jiang family, as a merchant, stood up and said that they would support Princess Ling and Youzhou.
A large amount of food, salt, sugar and other materials were donated, and the emperor soon issued a plaque to the Jiang family as a righteous merchant.
Seeing this situation, more merchants came to donate. Those who had received Princess Ling's kindness, such as the people in the North District, were jealous when they heard that the princess was at the border.
They all felt very distressed. Your family donated three kilograms of rice, and my family donated half a kilogram of salt. They all carried their things to the Yamen and said they would donate them to Princess Ling.
If it were other officials, they would definitely have sent these people away. But the yamen servant happened to have worked with Princess Ling and got benefits at the same time.
They all received these people sincerely, and after counting each house, they really collected a lot of food, salt, and sugar.
Then there is the Imperial Hospital. Several imperial physicians actually volunteered to go to Youzhou to serve as military doctors and brought a large amount of medicinal materials with them.
The prince looked furiously and speechlessly at Chang'an City, which had become lively due to a letter from Princess Ling.
He felt that the city of Chang'an felt strange to him. What was going on? Shouldn't everyone laugh at Princess Ling for crying about poverty?
Shouldn't we laugh at King Ling for doing such a shameful thing?
Also, what the hell is Pity King Ling? Isn't it a shame for the dignified prince to be pitied by the common people who are as low as grass?
The prince hasn't figured it out yet, but many old foxes can understand it at a glance. Prince Ling and Princess Ling are very popular among the people!
Princess Ling's straightforward letter about crying for poverty not only made the emperor cry when reading it, but also made people all over the city cry.
This village girl is quite capable!
Ms. Jiang was discussing with Jiang Hong that what was openly donated to the princess was donated by the Jiang family.
However, the supplies that should be distributed to the princess were sent to Youzhou by sea and should not be lumped together.
Jiang Hong knew that his sister was afraid that the Jiang family would be arrogant and disrespect Princess Ling.
He hurriedly explained to his sister that his father had the same plan. Moreover, the grain given to the princess, converted into dividends, is 30% lower than the market price.
After talking about business, Jiang Hong asked his sister about the Liu family.
"What does Liu Hou say about establishing the crown prince?"
If Marquis Liu wants to make Xiao's son the heir apparent, he needs the approval of his wife, Jiang, but Jiang will never let Xiao's son be the heir apparent!
At the same time, Mrs. Jiang also figured out that she was not greedy for this man's love at all. She only planned for herself and Bao'er now.
For the sake of Bao'er's future and the Jiang family's future, she couldn't make peace.
In this era, Xungui and Li were too shocking, and with her ability, she could not protect her daughter from the influence of those rumors.
She has to think about Bao'er's future. A good family will not marry a daughter from a Heli family!
In the Liu family, Bao'er is the eldest daughter of the Hou family, and she will choose her husband in the future.
So Mrs. Jiang returned to the Liu family. This time she came back, the situation of the Liu family was completely different.
Because of her younger brother's affairs, Mrs. Xiao was not allowed to be a common wife. She did not even dare to make her concubine Liu Hou, nor did she serve tea to his wife, so she could only raise her as a concubine.
My mother-in-law and aunt, who used to be picky about Ms. Jiang, now respect her much more.
They finally understood how embarrassing their life would be without Mrs. Jiang's money.
Because they did not have money to customize new clothes and jewelry, they did not attend many flower parties and tea parties in the spring.
In Jiang's clothing store, new clothes were delivered to your door every month. Now I order it myself, and it can cost dozens to nearly a hundred taels a year, and I realize how difficult it is.
The clothes are okay, and I can order them for two years even if I grit my teeth, but there is really nothing I can do about the jewelry.
The ladies of Chang'an have such poisonous eyes! They can spot the style you dare to wear at a glance.
But this year’s new model is so expensive! With the Liu family's financial resources, they simply couldn't afford it.
Not to mention the extremely expensive bags, perfumes, balms and other items in the auction house. In the past, they stood on Jiang's head and could choose all the expensive and popular things in Chang'an.
Ever since Mrs. Jiang took Baoer away from home, it was called regretful green intestines!
Ye Yu started scolding Mr. Jiang for being ignorant, how dare a merchant girl take advantage of her like this!
Later, he scolded Mr. Xiao and Mr. Liu, and quickly brought him back!
This time Mrs. Jiang and Liu Hou came back, but it was absolutely impossible for her to want her to suck blood for the whole family like before.
She directly told Marquis Liu that Mrs. Xiao could only be a concubine, and her two sons could only be concubines.
It's impossible to remember her name.
She gave Hou Liu two choices. One was to take an innocent woman as a concubine and give birth to a child in her name.
The second is to adopt a descendant from the clan and be raised by her.
Liu Hou said seriously that she could give birth, her figure was well maintained, and she would give birth to a legitimate son.
Mrs. Jiang sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She lowered her eyes and said that her body was injured when she gave birth to the baby and she couldn't give birth.
Liu Hou discussed with the old lady and finally chose to take an innocent woman as his concubine.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao made a scene in the ancestral hall. She suffered such injustice just because her son could be the heir apparent!
Now she can't be an equal wife, her son can't be a heir, her brother is dead, and Liu Hou has not been able to do anything he promised her!
Mrs. Jiang doesn’t care about her! Live your life as the mistress of the house, raise Bao'er well, save a dowry for Bao'er, and watch the drama of the Liu family when you are bored.
With just a little money slipping through the fingers, the old lady and her aunt will be grateful, the servants will be respectful, and even the guards in the outer courtyard will know that they have a better future with the lady.
Isn't this a pleasant day?
Liu Houna's concubine was chosen by the old lady herself. A girl from the good Lin family was much better than a girl from an unknown family like the Xiao family.
Mrs. Jiang directly made her a good concubine, and she would be promoted to a noble concubine after giving birth to a child.
A banquet was also held for Liu's concubine. When Liu Hou and Lin were having their wedding, Xiao's two sons ran into the ancestral hall.
A fire was set and Mr. Xiao was rescued.
Mrs. Jiang didn’t expect Mrs. Xiao to be so courageous! She also wanted to see how Liu Hou would handle this matter.
She deliberately asked the guards to go later and let Xiao and the two children go.
It’s getting more and more interesting! Sure enough, it was right to go back to the Liu family.
At the same time, Shen Dongsu of Youzhou heard about the power that her letter of crying about poverty brought to the court.
