"Well, I heard that someone is deliberately running a bank run. All the goods in the business are bought at high prices, but they can't be sold." Pei Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said:
"Speaking of which, you should recognize the owner of that trading company. It's His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing suddenly understood what was going on.
I'm afraid that Qi Nanche's downfall is not just a matter of a business company!
She laughed secretly in her heart. Qi Moli was really cute when he was jealous!
Qi Nanche finally got engaged to Ye Wan'er, and set the wedding date for a month later, which was very urgent.
On the night of Mid-Autumn, after all the ministers and ladies had left the palace, the Emperor and the Empress left the old tutor and Ye Wan'er's parents alone.
Ye Wan'er's father, Ye Changqing, was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He was usually responsible for compiling the national history or drafting some ceremonial documents. He was a real scholar.
When he learned about his daughter's affairs, he was so ashamed that he let the emperor make the decision.
However, the old tutor relied on the fact that he was once the teacher of Emperor Chongde, and took advantage of his seniority to ask the emperor to clear the name of the Ye family!
Concubine Luo implied that the daughter of the Ye family seduced the current Prince Jing, and contradicted the old tutor Ye in court, making the old tutor so angry that his face turned blue, he blew his nose and glared, and almost fainted.
Emperor Chongde had no choice but to ask both sides to calm down and make a decision tomorrow.
But on the second day, Concubine Luo changed her arrogant attitude and said to Emperor Chongde in a sensible way:
No matter what, it was Prince Jing who ruined the innocence of the girl from the Ye family, so he should marry her.
Although the Ye family was not very satisfied with Prince Jing, things had come to this point and Ye Wan'er was no longer innocent, so they had no choice but to accept the arranged marriage.
Prince Jing's Mansion and the Ye Mansion began to make urgent preparations for the wedding.
Naturally, the outside world was unaware of this matter. They only thought that Prince Jing and Miss Ye were in love with each other and the emperor bestowed grace on them.
In addition to the wedding at Prince Jing's Mansion, an interesting thing also happened in the capital.
In the court, a censor righteously impeached the Minister of Revenue, Zhou Song, for causing chaos in the harem and committing adultery with his brother's wife, thus disrupting the official atmosphere of Longyin.
Emperor Chongde was furious and dismissed Zhou Song from his position as minister. He sent him back to his hometown and made him a county magistrate!
Si Jinxing learned all these things from Qi Nanling and Bai Xi. However, he hadn't seen Qi Moli for a few days and didn't know what he was busy with.
After she finished discussing the matters in the store with Pei Qingzhu, she took the carriage back.
This carriage was a new one given to her by Emperor Chongde after he learned that the colorful carriage was broken. It was more spacious than the previous one.
Si Jinxing really couldn't understand. Wasn't the emperor too good to her?
Or maybe, he was too nice to Qi Moli?
She tapped her fingers on the table in the carriage from time to time, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Zhou Song was dismissed and will soon leave Beijing to return to his hometown in Hengzhou to take up a new post. I think he will sell off all his shops and properties in Beijing and take them away, right?
Tsk tsk, I have to find some time these next two days and stay up all night to go to the Minister's Mansion to collect the rent. Needless to say, it's quite tiring!
Si Jinxing couldn't help but secretly glance at Xinglin Yaxu. Somehow, the backyard of the small building had been opened up in the past two days.
It can hold a lot of things.
There was originally a basement in the backyard, but it could not be opened.
The things inside are the truly terrifying existences of this era!
It's the end of August and the weather is getting a bit cooler.
Qing Chan, who had returned to Beijing a few days ago, took a blanket and covered Si Jinxing's legs, handed her a letter, and said:
"From the Lan Mansion."
Si Jinxing took the letter and looked at it carefully. It was written by his uncle Lan Huaijing.
The letter said that the three uncles would arrive in Beijing before the New Year, but the three aunts, accompanying my grandmother, had already left and were heading to Jianzhou.
Counting the days, it should be here in three to five days.
In Si Jinxing's previous life, he lost his parents and grew up with his grandparents.
Now that Long Yin has arrived, he really can't feel the slightest bit of goodwill towards the old lady in the Si Mansion.
According to the original owner's memory, the grandmother of the Lan family was very easy to get along with.
Thinking of this, Si Jinxing asked Bai Xi to drive the car to the gate of Lan Mansion.
When she arrived, she saw two carriages parked outside the Lan Mansion, and a man who looked like a butler was directing people to move things inside.
"Old man, may I ask, have the ladies of the Lan family returned?" Qing Chan stepped forward and asked.
The butler glanced back, his eyes lit up, and he bowed and said:
"Excuse me young lady, are you the second young lady of the Si Mansion?"
Si Jinxing nodded quickly and said yes.
The housekeeper smiled gently and said, "Resemble, very much so. The young lady looks so much like the young lady back then."
General Lan is guarding the border. His entire family moved to the border eight years ago. Now that the old general is old, he has submitted a request to resign to the court and will officially retire next year.
Although the owner of the Lan Mansion was not in Jianzhou all year round, he left servants to guard the mansion and clean it.
The two carriages that arrived today were for the housekeeper and the managers who had returned to the mansion earlier. They were responsible for taking the servants to tidy up the yard in advance so that the masters could move in with peace of mind when they returned.
Seeing that the mansion was still busy, Si Jinxing did not go in. He agreed to wait for the ladies to return home in a few days to chat again, and then got on the carriage and headed towards the general's mansion.
However, he didn't expect that when he was halfway there, he was stopped by someone.
"Second Miss Si family, get down here!" An angry male voice came from outside the carriage.
Si Jinxing said nothing and looked at Qingchan. Qingchan lifted the curtain and said, "It's the prince of Princess Chang'an's family."
Bai Xi, the driver, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Prince Honghui, what do you want to talk to our princess about?"
When Prince Honghui, Li Qingyang, saw that Si Jinxing inside the carriage refused to get out, he walked forward regardless and wanted to push open the carriage, but was stopped by Bai Xi.
He said angrily, "You were the one who did what happened that night, right? You actually framed Wan'er like this and led her into a dangerous situation!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, his heart moved. So that's how it is!
That night, the Empress Dowager said in person that this matter should not be spread outside.
Now that Li Qingyang knew about this, he didn't come to trouble her until ten days after the incident. I guess he had met Ye Wan'er, right?
She said solemnly across the carriage:
"Prince Honghui, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If you don't have any evidence and you just make random accusations, don't blame me for going to the Emperor to ask for an explanation!
Besides, Miss Ye and His Royal Highness Prince Jing are a perfect match, they are destined to be a couple, shouldn't we bless them?"
Ye Wan'er is a famous talented woman in Jianzhou. Many literati and poets favor her. Among them, the most loyal to Ye Wan'er is Li Qingyang.
"Wan'er and Prince Jing are not a couple!
If you, a wicked woman, hadn't set a trap for Wan'er, how could such a well-educated and sensible girl like her do such a thing? " Li Qingyang blushed as he defended his beloved. He only learned about what happened on the night of Mid-Autumn today!
He was heartbroken. Wan'er, who was so pure and innocent, actually...
