Chapter 90: The Fourth Young Master Jumps Over the Wall
When Su Qianqian rushed to Fushou Hall, Zhu Jiayi was still sobbing there. Lady Xuan Guogong's wife was looking grim beside her. She was coaxing her daughter while telling her what had happened.
Before Su Qianqian went out today, she prepared fifty tomatoes and said that she had something to take care of and asked Madam Cheng to hand them over to the person sent by the wife of Duke Xuan to receive them. This is why Mrs. Du knew about it and became aware that Su Qianqian was going out, and several ladies were ready to follow her.
The people from Duke Xuan's Mansion received the tomatoes and carefully escorted them back to the mansion. Unexpectedly, they met Princess Zhaoning's people on the way, who stopped them and took the tomatoes away, saying that they were offering them to the Queen and Princess Zhaoyang for their tasting.
Zhu Jiayi got up earlier than usual, eagerly waiting for tomatoes, but ended up seeing the housekeeper with empty hands.
Naturally, Lady Xuanguo Duke did not dare to ask Princess Zhaoning for anything. Even if she was her cousin's daughter, she was still the daughter of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. The royal family never talked about family affection, only hierarchy.
It's just a pity that the five hundred taels of gold were taken away without a sound.
[How come Princess Zhaoning's people just happened to know that Duke Xuan's Mansion would pick up the goods today? There must be a reason for this. 】
Su Qianqian said in her heart.
[You will suffer the consequences if you do evil. The Sixth Miss was angry that others ate tomatoes without inviting her, so she went out early the day before yesterday to show off to those young ladies. She bought tomatoes and went to Wuning Marquis's mansion to pick up the goods today. Among them were the pair of sisters who loved to stir up trouble.
They concealed their intentions from Zhu Jiayi and did not tell her that they were going to the Prime Minister's Residence to curry favor with the new Second Miss Lu Zhiqing.
Later, they talked about this matter as a way to get close to Princess Zhaoning. If Princess Zhaoning knew about it, the only possibility was that Lu Zhiqing and Xue Wanning were summoned by the Imperial Concubine and mentioned this matter for some reason, and Princess Zhaoning happened to remember it. 】
The system guessed most of the facts based on its own reasoning.
[This really proves the saying: earn some money and buy an umbrella, then you stand out when others pretend to be poor, then a strong wind comes and blows away the umbrella, you lose your money and your umbrella, let's see if you dare to do it next time, hahaha...] Su Qianqian laughed at Zhu Jiayi mercilessly in her heart.
Qin Family: ...
"This is really... good news. The Royal Concubine and the Queen know about the feelings of the Duke's wife and the Sixth Miss, and they will naturally remember them. The Sixth Miss is crying with joy, crying with joy."
Su Qianqian tried to smooth things over, fearing that the Sixth Miss would say something outrageous. The people above Princess Huazhang were not easy to take action, so wouldn't they use the Wuning Marquis' Mansion as an example to scare the monkeys?
Lady Xuanguogong naturally understood the meaning of Su Qianqian's words, but she didn't say anything more. She felt sorry for her daughter for not being able to eat the tomatoes, so she had to explain her purpose: to buy a few more tomatoes to try.
"Since the Duke's wife has spoken, how dare I disobey? I still have five left for myself, so I'll give them to you." Su Qianqian said helplessly.
In this way, Zhu Jiayi finally left with a smile on her face, holding five tomatoes, and fifty taels of gold went into Su Qianqian's pocket.
"This incident is not such a coincidence. Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Zhaoning are both selecting their own princes. Princess Zhaoning would be cautious in her words and deeds for the sake of her reputation. She must have a reason for robbing the Duke Xuan's mansion so rudely."
Madam Qin said with a frown.
"Qianqian has just received a title from the emperor. In a few days, when the imperial robes are ready, she will go to the palace to express her gratitude. I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns by then." Mrs. Du couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay. With grandma and mother protecting me, Qianqian has nothing to be afraid of." Su Qianqian waved her hand.
Madam Qin and Mrs. Du looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: They were being used as shields.
"That's right. With grandma here, Qianqian won't be wronged. She can build a path through the mountains and a bridge over the water. There's nothing to be afraid of."
In the evening, the brothers Qin Hanjin and Qin Hanyue came back and talked about the resettlement of the families of the fallen soldiers. According to the verification of the roster, most of the work has been done, the shop has been renovated smoothly, and several hundred baskets of gum have been stored in the farm. After mid-autumn, they can boil gum and make cloth to build a greenhouse.
Su Qianqian was very satisfied with the dynamism of this military-style approach. With such progress, the greenhouse could be built in September and planted in October, so that the vegetables could be harvested before the weather got cold.
However, Su Qianqian herself has her own selfish motives. The fruits and vegetables grown in her farm are rare species, cultivated in a mixture of space soil. These will be sold in her shop, and she will only make money from wealthy people. She also adopts a high-level membership system, and one must spend money to apply for a membership card first. Without a card, one cannot enter the door.
Differentiate levels based on quality, select people based on level, expand the added value of goods, and get the maximum profit from it. All profits must serve her goal: send them to the mall to exchange for goods, or exchange them for melons, beans and merit.
[My lady, the Fourth Young Master did not just come to do his errands today. He also stopped by the villa when he went to the manor and sent tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and carrots to the Fourth Madam. He bought them from you at a high price. Hahahaha...] The system took the opportunity to eat melons.
Qin Hanyue: I just feel like I’ve been taken advantage of…
[That's his wife, and they haven't divorced yet, so it's not normal for him to visit her. 】Su Qianqian disagreed.
[It is normal to visit, but it is abnormal to go to your own villa and jump over the wall! 】The system was very dissatisfied with Su Qianqian’s indifference.
[I want to listen to this gossip. Why do we have to jump over the wall? Could it be that she is just like Third Aunt, just unconventional? 】Su Qianqian became interested.
Meng: Just say it to that kid, why do you think of me...
[That's not the case. The Fourth Young Master didn't want the Fourth Madam to know of his concern and didn't want to put pressure on her. But the timing for him to jump over the wall was wrong. The Fourth Madam had just ordered people to dig a hole under the wall to transplant the plum tree. The Fourth Young Master climbed over the wall, carrying two bags of things, and jumped directly into the hole! Hahaha……】
“Hahaha…this this…hahaha…” Madam Qin couldn’t help laughing. She wanted to find a reason for her sudden laughter, but she really couldn’t find one, so she simply continued laughing.
"Mother, this is so funny, hahaha..." Meng was not going to save the situation and also laughed.
Except for Qin Hanyue and Qin Hanzhang, everyone in the hall simply gave up and did not give themselves any chance to back down. They just laughed first and talked later.
[Hahahaha...what are they laughing at?] Su Qianqian was laughing in her heart, and was shocked to find that almost everyone in the Qin family was laughing.
[I don't know... Hahahaha, the Fourth Young Master climbed out of the pit, covered in dust and carrying two bags. The Fourth Lady asked guiltily: Fourth Young Master, was you kicked out of the house because of me? There's no need to jump over the wall to get in, what would happen if you get hurt?
The fourth young master said: I was not kicked out of the house, I just wanted to try out the security here. Very good, this pit is very useful, hahahaha...】The system continued to laugh.
[Hahaha, this pit is very useful, it’s specially used by plum trees (no count), so the Fourth Young Master jumped in, hahaha…]
Su Qianqian had forgotten what the Qin family was laughing at and just laughed at herself, diluting the worries she had two days ago.
Some were laughing and some were sad. In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Xue listened to the worried Lu Zhubu reporting the news. He lowered his eyes to hide the frost in his eyes...
