Chapter 479: Love is Stronger than Gold
He dragged the man out of the gate and headed toward the government office along the street.
Such an action naturally aroused the curiosity of many people. Many people stopped to watch, and some even asked curiously, "What happened? Did they catch the thief who stole the things?"
"Where?" The servant of the Su family answered, "We are servants of Ping'an County Lord's family. This man pretended to be a servant of the Yue Palace and tried to sow discord between the Yue Palace, Ping'an County Lord and the He family. We are about to send him to the authorities for investigation!"
Once such remarks were made, people naturally became more curious.
I wonder how he managed to sow discord among these families.
The servants followed Ai Cao's instructions and repeated in detail what Ai Cao had said earlier in the gatehouse.
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, and then there was a lot of discussion.
"This guy is really bold. He even dares to target powerful people like Princess Ping'an, the He family, and the Prince of Yue's Mansion."
"Tsk, they say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It's not just that the emperor's mind is hard to guess, but more that it's lonely at the top. There will always be scoundrels who are jealous and want to cause trouble."
"There are also those who only want the world to be in turmoil, and they always find ways to stir up trouble everywhere."
"People who have such thoughts must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
"that is……"
The more people talked, the more excited they became, and the insults and accusations could be heard all the time.
There were also a few people with straightforward and strong personalities who even took advantage of the commotion to hit the boy a few times.
The servant was full of grievances, so he kept complaining. The more he explained himself, the more people around him thought he was making excuses, and the louder they scolded him.
For a moment, the whole street seemed very lively.
Such things naturally spread quickly to every corner of the capital through the mouths of those who were watching the fun.
Qin Peiming soon found out about this and was so angry that he smashed the teacup filled with Longjing tea in his hand.
He Yanxiu, you actually took an unconventional approach. Between accepting gifts and not accepting gifts, you chose to make the matter known to everyone.
Qin Peiming gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to settle this matter and deal with that boy."
"What the prince means is..."
Want to clear the relationship with the Prince of Yue's Palace? But if so, the servant will definitely lose his life.
Pan Zhong was a little hesitant.
"Do you really need me to teach you how to do this?" Qin Peiming shouted.
Now the public opinion is one-sided, and everyone believes that the servant sent to deliver the gift was impersonated by someone else in order to sow discord among the three families.
If he admitted that it was he who ordered the gift to be sent, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
Moreover, if this matter gets out of hand and the King of Yue knows about his little trick...
He is the only son of the King of Yue. The King of Yue will not do anything to him now, but in the short time that Qin Peiming has been in the capital, he has witnessed the fighting and struggles in the royal family's struggle for power.
Who knows if the same will happen in the Prince of Yue's mansion? He is the Prince of Yue's concubine, and is his mother really the only concubine of the Prince of Yue?
Before everything becomes certain, Qin Peiming feels that he should be cautious.
At least you should have the right attitude after you do something wrong.
If we deal with the servant under someone else's fake name, it will be clear that this matter has nothing to do with the Prince of Yue's Palace and there will be no problem.
Pan Zhong understood and agreed immediately, then hurried forward to deal with it.
Qin Peiming smashed another jade vase at hand.
He Yanxiu, Su Yujin, you two are really great!
Just wait and see! ——In
the afternoon, the Su family banquet ended.
He Yanxiu insisted on staying, saying that he wanted to help Su Yujin pickle kimchi and mustard greens.
Seeing this, Su Yujin didn't hesitate and just put her hands on her waist and directed He Yanxiu to do various chores.
Pickled mustard greens are made using the dry pickling method. The mustard greens should be cut into shreds, dried in the sun until they are mostly dry, and then various seasonings such as salt and soy sauce are added and sealed in a jar for pickling.
What He Yanxiu is doing now is the shredding process.
He Yanxiu was used to using a long sword, so it was very unusual for him to pick up a kitchen knife. Fortunately, he adhered to the principle that any knife was a knife, and after adapting for a while, he was able to cut into shreds smoothly.
Just a little rough.
Su Yujin didn't mind, she just put all the shredded mustard greens that He Yanxiu had cut in a bamboo basket to dry in the sun, preparing for pickling later.
The two were busy until the evening when news came.
This is the follow-up about Qin Peiming sending people to deliver gifts.
Qin Peiming announced to the public that he had not sent anyone here, and as the Su family's servants said, someone was impersonating him and the matter was entirely up to the government to deal with.
"Qin Peiming is very good at taking advantage of the situation." Su Yujin frowned, "How is the servant who came to give gifts now? How will he be dealt with?"
"I sent someone to say hello, and he was only beaten with two sticks and then released." He Yanxiu said, "Qin Peiming didn't seem to dare to make a big deal about this matter, and he sent the boy out of the capital and to his farm."
"The sale of slaves has been registered with the government. Although the lives of slaves are decided by their masters, they are now at the center of public opinion. The Prince of Yue's Mansion has always been lenient to its subordinates, so Qin Peiming dared not do anything."
"Generally speaking, this is not a big deal, but it can be regarded as a lesson for Qin Peiming."
Su Yujin nodded upon hearing this.
As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser.
I also hope that Qin Peiming can behave himself for a while.
He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes. ——Mr . Anmin needs to stay in the capital for a while to recover from his injuries.
Thinking of the presence of Anmin Bo and Lu, two elders of Su Yujin, Lu discussed with Old Madam He and chose a good day to hold the betrothal ceremony with the Su family.
The so-called "Na Zheng" means giving a betrothal gift in layman's terms.
The He family attached great importance to this matter. In addition, since it was the emperor who personally granted the marriage and Concubine Hui's reward, the betrothal gift that the He family sent to the Su family was generous and grand.
There are gorgeous whole corals, transparent white jade ruyi, a large number of colorful brocades, and the most eye-catching thing is the various gold items.
A red gold necklace, a red gold headpiece, a red gold bracelet, a red gold ornament, a red gold bowl and chopsticks...
Under the sun, it was so golden that it almost blinded everyone's eyes.
While everyone was impressed by the generosity of the He family in giving a betrothal gift, they were even more impressed by the sheer number of gold ornaments they gave.
"This gold item looks very impressive, but the yellow and white items look a bit tacky. The He family is a family of scholars, and my maternal grandfather, the Lu family, is a family of military commanders, but they are also a family of scholars. They are both famous families. Why is this betrothal gift..."
He looks like a nouveau riche!
"You... you don't understand, right? The saying 'love is stronger than gold' means that this friendship is indestructible, like real gold that is not afraid of fire. This has a meaning, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
"What you said... makes some sense!"
"After all, he is Minister He. He has unique ideas and is indeed different from others."
"Learn this from everyone!"
