Chapter 260 The cowhide is broken, I can recall Xie Yanyan
Li Tiedan went to the pawnshop to pawn his jacket. Xie Xiangxiang looked at Jiang Shuang, and they both had mixed feelings.
"Second Aunt, why are you here? Aren't Second Uncle and Yanyan in Lingnan?"
"Don't mention that bitch. If it weren't for her, your second uncle wouldn't have kicked me out."
Jiang Shuang hated Xie Yanyan when she mentioned him, "Your eldest brother and several brothers were reluctant to leave me, but she didn't like me and insisted on driving me away."
"Second Aunt, do you know that Xie Yanyan is doing very well now? The Emperor Zhou Xiaocheng is Yanyan's father-in-law, and she married His Highness."
Jiang Shuang stood up at once: "No way, isn't that bitch in Lingnan? How could she... His Highness is the Prince Zhou who has been flirting with her, right?"
Xie Xiangxiang smiled: "Second Aunt, it's him."
"I saw them flirting with each other from the beginning. They might have slept together a long time ago. What shameless guys!" Jiang Shuang cursed.
Xie Xiangxiang stopped talking immediately. She understood why Jiang Shuang was kicked out.
Such a mother is rare in the world.
They are not as good as my grandmother and mother, Xiao Shen. Although they are cruel, they are good to others and their own children.
"Second Aunt, do you know how capable Yanyan is now? She built a city in Lingnan! She is very good at farming, and the food she grows is simply more than she can eat." Xie Xiangxiang said, "Emperors from various countries are trying to curry favor with her and buy food and seeds from her."
"She's so capable?"
"Yes, Second Aunt, we all underestimated her." Xie Xiangxiang sighed, "Second Aunt, if you can't make it, go find her. Second Uncle is kind-hearted. If you go, they will always give you a full meal."
The two talked about their experiences in the past two years. Jiang Shuang said that she came from Lingnan and begged for food all the way back to Kyoto, but the old man of the Jiang family did not recognize her, so she had to beg for food everywhere.
Later, they went to Li Tiedan's home. Li Tiedan's parents had both died, and the two of them had been living together like that.
Xie Xiangxiang learned from Jiang Shuang that Li Tiedan was only 24 years old and they had been together for more than a year.
"What about you? Xiangxiang, didn't you leave with King Xi?"
"Prince Xi? Ha, how long ago was that?" Xie Xiangxiang didn't want to say it, nor did she want to mention it.
She has been moving around in circles of wealthy people, but no one treats her as a human being, and no one sees her value.
In fact, she is really worthless now.
While the two were talking, Li Tiedan pawned his fur coat in exchange for a bag of food and some dried vegetables.
Jiang Shuang cooked a meal, and Xie Xiangxiang ate it very well. She said to Li Tiedan, "Brother Li, take my second aunt to Kyoto to see His Majesty. My second aunt is Xie Yanyan's mother. No matter what, His Majesty is my second aunt's relative, and even a hair of his is thicker than your waist. Just give me some rewards, and you will be richer than the landlords in the village. Xie Yanyan is capable now, and the emperor wants to make peace with her."
She gave Jiang Shuang some advice, to find a way to contact Xie Yanyan. Even if she just said a few words, she could choose any king, prince, general or minister.
Even if Xie Yanyan denied it, Zhou Xiaocheng would not be able to kill Jiang Shuang.
"Second Aunt, this is the way the world is. If you don't fight, no one will thank you, so why don't you try your best?"
"You and I are different. I used to be too ambitious. I once thought about becoming a queen, and later I thought about becoming a queen mother. In fact, if I only wanted to have enough food and clothing, I would not be what I am now."
If she had seen herself clearly at the time and just wanted to be a wife or concubine of a rich man, many things would not have happened.
Jiang Shuang didn't dare to think about her words. She had been brainwashed thoroughly by Old Shen in the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion. She didn't dare to fight.
But Li Tiedan really wanted to go.
He is still young, and which young person doesn't have ambitions?
Hunting every day is very tiring, and I often go out to the mountains for days without getting anything.
If they could find Jiang Shuang's children, they would not ask for much, just a few dozen taels of silver and a few hundred kilograms of food, and their lives would be much better.
"Jiang Shuang, shall we go?" Li Tiedan said eagerly, "Maybe they will give us some money."
Jiang Shuang was a little hesitant.
"Which is more important, face or survival?" Li Tiedan was completely convinced by what Xie Xiangxiang said. He didn't want to give up this shortcut to wealth.
"Jiang Shuang, let's go. Now that we have money and food, I will treat you like a queen."
In just half a day, Xie Xiangxiang persuaded Jiang Shuang and Li Tiedan, and Li Tiedan and Jiang Shuang went to the capital together.
After Jiang Shuang and Li Tiedan left, their home became Xie Xiangxiang's shelter.
She laughed for a long time. Li Tiedan and Jiang Shuang, there is no turning back.
Man, once you are caught up in the path of desire, when you look back, you will find that your life is only a hundred years old!
At the palace gate, Li Tiedan and Jiang Shuang hesitated for a long time before they mustered up the courage to tell the guards, "We are the parents of Princess Yongning, and we want to see the emperor."
After several days of waiting with the prison guard, Jiang Shuang told him a lot about Xie Yanyan's experiences, and the guard finally passed on the message.
It was impossible for Zhou Xiaocheng to meet them, but the Queen Mother heard about it and brought them in. It was Li Tiedan's first time entering the palace, and he was so nervous that he limped like Tom Cat.
The Queen didn't expect Jiang Shuang to be so old and shabby.
"What can you prove that you are the mother of Yongning County Lord?"
The Queen Mother despised them in her heart, but she urgently needed Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan to help her out, so she endured her disgust and asked them in a gentle and distant manner.
Jiang Shuang naturally knew that she was disliked, so she said carefully: "You can write to Yan'er. She is the most obedient and has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child."
Queen: Well-behaved and sensible? You are probably not my biological mother!
The Queen asked, "How did you separate from the Yongning County Lady's family?"
"My husband felt sorry for me because I had five children. He didn't want me to go to Lingnan to suffer, so he let me go."
The Empress said to Wusong, "Arrange for them to stay at the post station and send the letter written by my in-laws to Princess Yongning as soon as possible. I will be free in two days to entertain them."
"We haven't had enough food for many days. Can you give us some? You are the Queen, that..." Li Tiedan stammered, his face flushed with embarrassment.
The Queen Mother walked in with a straight face and said to Wusong, "Give them 100 taels of silver and a change of clothes. How can they go to the post station like this?!"
Jiang Shuang and Li Tiedan were taken to the post station. Li Tiedan was holding a bag of silver and was so happy that it felt like a dream.
100 taels of silver! He had never seen so much silver in his life.
They were also given each of them a set of thick winter clothes, brocade clothes, which kept them warm from head to toe.
As expected, people need to fight for it!
Although the food at the post station was not as rich as that of a wealthy family, Jiang Shuang was Xie Yanyan's mother. When the postmaster heard about it, he was very enthusiastic.
Tell her that Xie Anfeng and Xie Yanyan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess were here a few days ago and that guy ordered 200 dishes at once.
Li Tiedan was so envious that he was dying. Now he was thinking about being nice to Jiang Shuang. After all, he was Xie Yanyan's stepfather!
Stepfather is also a father!
After Jiang Shuang left, the Queen Mother stared blankly at the yard for a long time.
Wusong said, "My lady, are you missing His Highness?"
"Wushuang, I wonder how long we can stay in the palace? Can Jiang Shuang really persuade Xie Yanyan to come back to help His Majesty?"
At the state banquet, the King of Song said that he would write a letter to the country when he returned. The King of Wei also said that he wanted to fight, and the Japanese also said that they wanted to divide up the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Who knows, Guzang, Liangguo and Xirong all want to get a piece of the pie.
How long can the Tang Dynasty remain named Tang?
