Hearing Aunt Xue mentioning her sister, Qian Qianshan seemed to have found a savior, "That's right! And your sister! An Guogong has always been filial to your sister, as long as your sister asks, he will definitely help us! Don't let him let go!" When Li Tongfu comes out, as long as he helps us make up the difference! He is An Guogong, what is 900 taels of gold? He won’t even blink when he takes it out.”

"Yes yes yes! Master, let go of my concubine first, and I will go to see my sister after dressing up a little."

Kou Qianshan quickly let go of his hand, "Okay, you go! Go and come back soon! Oh, yes! Also, bring some fruit over there. Doesn't your sister like apples? Pick up a basket and bring it to her!"

"Okay, the concubine will go now."

Aunt Xue hurried out, went back to the room and changed her clothes, took off some jade hairpins, wiped off a lot of makeup on her face with a handkerchief, and at the same time asked the girl beside her to go to the storeroom to pick some apples , took it to the Duke's Mansion.

It happened that Nan Rong Chengzhao took Shu Manhua to ride a horse in the suburbs, and he was not at the house, but it was the best for Aunt Xue. If she faced Nan Rong Chengzhao directly, she might feel a little guilty.

Seeing her younger sister coming, Xue Liping was very happy, so she dragged someone into the living room to talk, "My younger sister just came here a few days ago, why are you in the mood to see me again today?"

Xue Luping smiled, "We sisters meet, how can we divide the day? I came here when I wanted to see my sister. Doesn't my sister dislike my sister coming too often?"

Xue Liping pinched her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a chuckle, "Look at what you said! Your mouth is the most likable! It just so happened that two days ago, I received a batch of treasures from Western Chu, and your Majesty rewarded them." I bought several pieces from Chengzhao, all of which are exquisite ornaments, take a look at them later, take away the ones that catch your eye, and I see that there are two hairpins that are especially suitable for you!"

Speaking of Xue Liping, she also looked Xue Luping up and down, disapproving and said, "It's not that my sister said you, you are dressed too plainly, the last time I saw you was still lotus root pink su satin, the color is bright, why is it that you are dressed in a suit today?" The moon-white clothes are still a little old. And you look like this, you look a little haggard, what are you worrying about in the past few days, and you haven't had a good rest?"

Xue Luping sighed, pinched the silk scarf to cover her chest and said that it was worrying!Still broke my heart!Sister, you don't know that my sister and your brother-in-law are about to face disaster!And this... is because of Cheng Zhao! "

Xue Liping's expression changed, "What's the matter? Tell me clearly! What's wrong with Cheng Zhao?"

Xue Luping explained the situation in detail, and there was no guarantee that she would not add fuel and jealousy in the middle. She picked herself and Kou Qianshan out as much as possible, saying that there was nothing wrong with them, and it was the people below who cheated and played tricks, which made them suffer.He also said that this matter can be solved easily, or let Nan Rong Cheng Zhaogao let Li Tongfu go, Li Tongfu is grateful for their help, and will definitely not make things difficult again.Or ask Nanrong Chengzhao to help add the money.Anyway, for the Duke's Mansion, the 900 taels of gold is not impossible.

Xue Liping hesitated, it's not that she didn't want to help her sister.At that time, the family took a fancy to Yu Qianshan's wealth, and in order to help themselves, they arranged this marriage. The younger sister married a merchant in Yu Qianshan as an official daughter, and Kou Qianshan was ten years older than her. up.So for so many years, Xue Liping has always felt that she has done something wrong to her sister, and she has always taught her son to help her sister and her brother-in-law's family as much as possible. Nanrong Chengzhao has also done the same for many years.

But this time the matter is really a bit big, 900 taels of gold is not silver, and she can't take it out casually, it has to go through her son.In addition, the son has his own set of rules for doing things, so

Whether it is rigid or not, everything is followed by the court regulations, but there is always one's own principles and bottom line.Some things, if you don't do it, there is absolutely no room for maneuver. She, a mother, knows this.

"Lu Ping, you have to allow my sister to think about this matter again. It is unlikely that Li Fu was let go. My sister also knows how Cheng Zhao behaves, the decisions he makes, and the things he handles. It's hard for me, a mother, to say. As for the money, my sister will try my best to find a way for you, and told Cheng Zhao."

Tears flashed in Xue Luping's eyes, and she held Xue Liping's hand and said excitedly: "Then it's all up to my sister! Sister, you have to know that if you don't help me, Qian Shan, Yuan Si, and I will have nothing to do with each other." There is no way to pass the day! I also hope that my sister can think of me and Qianshan's help in the past, and she must help us tide over the difficulties this time!"

Xue Liping responded with a forced smile twice, talked again and asked someone to send her away.

In the evening, when Nanrong Chengzhao and Shu Manhua came back, just as they stepped into the gate of the mansion, the maid serving Xue Liping came over and said that the old lady wanted to invite the Duke to have dinner in the Nuan Pavilion.

Nanrong Chengzhao originally wanted to get together with Kou Jingzhe at night, but now he has to leave.Otherwise, if he took Kou Jingzhe with him, he would definitely take Yuansi with him, he was really annoying those people now.

_Entering the Nuan Pavilion, a gust of warm air blows towards your face. Although it’s almost October and it’s getting colder sooner or later, it’s not that cold after all. At this time, my mother will be living in the Nuan Pavilion, Nanrong Chengzhao frowned slightly , a little worried.

The food was ready for the table, and Xue Liping was sitting at the table waiting, the incense smoke from the animal stove a few miles short was curling up, and the smell was fresh and pleasant.

"Chengzhao, come quickly," Xue Liping beckoned to Nan Rong Chengzhao, "Sit next to your mother. By the way, didn't you say that you went out with Jing Zhe today? Why don't you let him come to eat together? Anyway, they are ready-made, Why do you need to prepare any more?"

Nanrong Chengzhao lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, "After running outside for a day, he is also tired, so I will let him go back to rest first."

Xue Liping blinked her eyes slowly and smiled, "It's true that you're tired, but you also thought that if you brought Jing Zhe over, you must bring Yuan Si over, right? You used to take good care of Yuan Si, but now you The two cousins ​​are very different. Jingzhe is also a sensible child, but he is always separated from us," Xue Liping patted Nanrong Chengzhao's hand, "You can distinguish between closeness and closeness!"

Nanrong Chengzhao raised his head slightly, "Son is the same as before, but some things can be seen clearly."

Xue Liping smiled softly, "Today, my mother personally cooked your favorite chestnut chicken, try it quickly, and try my mother's handicrafts before you go back."

Nanrong Chengzhao nodded, and then Xue Liping picked up the dishes in his bowl, with a serious expression on his face, "Mother, your health has not been very good, let the servants take care of these things, when you have nothing to do Just let people go out and walk around, why bother?"

Xue Liping lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "Yes, my mother's health is not good. This is an old problem for many years. Back then, I wanted to marry into the palace for the glory of the family. It's a pity that your mother didn't live up to it. It was not always good, but the family conditions were limited at that time, and there was no extra money to run the house and take care of your mother. Thanks to your aunt and uncle, who have been helping your mother, otherwise your mother would not know what to do. When will I be able to adjust my body to conceive you."

Nan Rong Chengzhao's expression faded and he didn't answer.

Xue Liping glanced at her son, and then said: "Chengzhao! You have taught you since your little mother, you have to know how to be grateful, your little aunt has helped us a lot, we can't count it in our hearts."

Nanrong Chengzhao pursed his lips, and poured himself a glass of wine, "Did my aunt come to tell my mother something? My son doesn't know what my aunt told my mother, but she must have taken both myself and Qianshan away." After going out, he said that there was nothing wrong with them, and at most he pushed it to the people below, saying that he was deceived. But mother, you should know what kind of temperament your son is, and if you are not absolutely sure, your son will not give up easily. This There is no room for maneuver in the matter anyway, and the person has already been sent away."

Xue Liping closed her mouth and nose, "What Kou Qianshan? That's your little uncle, how can you call him by his first name? He's not too old or young! Mother knows, how can you not know what kind of personality you are? Mother didn't mean to let you Let me go, you also know that the difficulty of your aunt and uncle is in money, 900 taels of gold is not a small amount, why don't we help them out in our house!"

Nanrong Chengzhao originally had a chestnut chicken with chopsticks, but when he heard Xue Liping's words, he put the chestnut chicken into the bowl and pressed the chopsticks on the bowl, "Mother, you can't say that, it's not that the son is unwilling." Help, but some things, I can’t help. 900 taels of gold, not silver, and the money in our house is not blown by strong winds. They learned a lesson, next time there will be 900 taels of gold for them to deal with the aftermath?"

As soon as she heard her son call her "mother" instead of "mother", Xue Liping knew that her son was really upset, and said embarrassingly: "Mother also knows that this is not a small amount, but, but we can't just ignore it." Help, just for the past affection..."

"The relationship in the past?" Nan Rong Chengzhao interrupted Xue Liping for the first time. This was the first time he was "disrespectful" to his mother in so many years. It can be said that it is not. This is the arrangement of the mother’s mother’s family, not because the mother forced the aunt. Of course, we should be grateful, but over the years, we have taken care of the aunt’s family. Not to mention anything else, just Shan Kou Qianshan's imperial business honor has surpassed all the financial support they gave their mother.

But they are so greedy. It's not like the mother doesn't know how much they have begged from their son over the years.In addition, if their help back then was sincere, it would be more than a hundred times, a thousand times more care, and my son would not care about it, after all, true love is hard to find.But the mother's mother also said that every time the money was sent, my aunt was arrogant and impatient.It wasn't until the son earned military merits that he got better.If the mother hadn't been nagging, the son would not have helped Qian Qianshan so much against his will all these years.Qian Qianshan is a man, and his son really doesn't like him. "

Seeing that Xue Liping seemed to have something to say for Kou Qianshan and his wife, Nanrong Chengzhao quickly said: "Mother misses my sister, but it also depends on whether she misses you. Let's say she comes several times, and each time she just takes a few It's a rotten apple. Although my mother likes it, she likes a lot of things, and there is no shortage of precious things. Is it possible that you can't even buy some good things in the mansion? I heard that not long before the accident, someone had just sent Kou Qianshan the unique crystal apples of the Southern Lands. If she really didn't think too much about it and only remembered her mother's preferences, why didn't she bring the good apples? She also knew that her mother I'm not in good health, and I tend to get cold and weak every time it's cold, so when she comes here today, can she say something to care about her mother?',

Xue Liping was speechless, and listening to her son's words and thinking about all the things the sisters got along with in these years, she felt uneasy.

"Hey, that's what you said, so let's forget about this incident. I've actually heard that their husband and wife have acted a little presumptuously over the years, so it's good to learn a lesson."

"What my mother said is that Kou Qianshan can't take out 900 taels of gold, but it's going to hurt his muscles and bones, so he should relax his muscles and bones, remind him, and let him know that there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched. Mother also Don't take their words lightly. The Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated money to Kou Qianshan to buy it. Kou Qianshan should do it himself for such a major event. How can he hand it over to the people below? Even if he confessed, who would have the courage to leave the palace to call the money? The money that came down filled your own pockets?"

Nanrong Chengzhao's tone has always been cold and indifferent, and he was not very excited, "I think she must have made a haggard posture when she came to see her mother today. You rarely go out, but you can't see her." The clothes in the past are no worse than those of the imperial concubines and empresses in the palace. There is also Yuan Si, who hangs around the fireworks and willow alley all day long, spends a lot of money on those women in the Nuanchun Pavilion, and spends a lot of money. Kou Qianshan also lives a luxurious life , was held up by many people to spend a lot of money, and after hearing a few compliments, they spent money like water.

I don't have the ability to make money, but the ability to spend money is unmatched by ordinary people.Looking at Kou Jingzhe again, when he was in the Kou Mansion, he lived in a firewood house and wore coarse linen clothes.These are all the son saw with his own eyes, and asked someone to inquire about it, and learned that he was indeed abused by other members of the Kou family since he was a child, and his life was worse than that of a servant, so his son took him to the house.Seeing him, the son remembered being bullied by the prince in the palace when he was a child.The son can't interfere in other people's family affairs, he can't let them treat Jingzhe better, so he can only treat Jingzhe himself.But even so, Yuan Si had to follow along, not letting go of any chance to benefit from his son.
