Because the food on the bamboo board has a price, no matter how you calculate it, they can't eat ten taels of silver with the noodles that people eat at this table. Is it really because the restaurant doesn't charge money because it disturbs their meal? Not really. It was for the mellow wine, Qin Fang didn't want to leave this favor.

The couple took their son to the front, followed by Niudan, and strolled around the capital, Niudan was in a good mood. The servant paid the money, and it didn't take long for him to follow. "General, the little one came back after leaving 10 taels of silver, and didn't wait for them to chase them out."

"Well done, don't owe favors." Qin Fang said.

Servant: "Yes."

After leaving the restaurant, the Qin family went home. But the four of the family went back for a walk, but... Qin Fang suddenly stopped, and he looked behind him.

"What's wrong?" Yang Haiyan asked.

Qin Fang said: "Someone is following behind, but such a rough tracking method must not be a special person, so don't pay attention." If it is followed by a special person, then you should pay attention. However, it's not a secret where they live, there's nothing to hide, so Qin Fang didn't take it to heart. Besides, there is no thousand-year-old anti-thief.

Yang Haiyan was relieved to hear him say this, but: "I don't know who it is."

Qin Fang: "Since the other party sent someone to follow, then the other party will definitely show up, just wait."

After half an hour, the family slowly walked home. As soon as he got home, Yang Haiyan asked Qin Fang to carry his son to sleep. The little guy had been playing outside all morning, and after walking a lot, he fell asleep on his father's shoulder.

Money Restaurant

The origin of Qianqian Restaurant is very simple. It is the industry of Qianqianhou. As for this Marquis of Money, as soon as he hears his name, he knows what it means. It means super rich. This Marquis of Qian also has the merits of following the dragon. He was originally just a businessman. He has accumulated a lot of money over the generations, and he has a smart mind. In today's great cause, he has spent a lot of money, and two-thirds of his family property has been invested in it. . After he ascended the throne today, he was named a famous and powerless Marquis, and he didn't care. With this title, at least no one dared to attack his family property.

As for the name of this title, it was also decided by Qian Qianhou himself. There is no way, he is rich.

Although Marquis Qian is rich, he is not the kind of person who is not benevolent, and Marquis Qian is also a well-known good person in the capital. As famous as Qian Qian Hou's family property, there is also Qian Qian Hou's backyard. His family has many concubines and many concubines, so naturally there are more children.

It turns out that this Qian Qianhou is not only interested in making money, but also interested in beautiful women.

Therefore, Qian Qianhou's family is very famous in the capital. However, Hou Qianqian loves beautiful women, but never forces them. In fact, with his wealth and identity, there are still many beauties who are willing to be concubines.

Shi Jie is the third son of Qian Qianhou, the concubine. At the moment, he is listening to someone's report.

"Third Young Master, the little one followed them to Tai'an District, and saw them walking into a house called Qin Mansion, but I don't know who the owner of this Qin mansion is, there are famous people in that area, and there is no place for the little one. You can ask." It turned out that the person who followed Qin Fang was sent by Shi Jie.

The entire capital is centered on the imperial palace. The closest to the imperial palace is naturally the place where the relatives of the imperial family live, and the Tai'an District lives next to the relatives of the imperial family, so the people who can live there are not a matter of money, but It's a question of identity. For example, Hou Qianqian lives there.

The reason why Qian Qianhou's mansion is there is because this mansion is a gift from the emperor. When the emperor first ascended the throne, he punished a large group of ministers who failed to stand in line, so many houses were taken back, and then he gave Qian Qianhou a house. In fact, only Qian Qian Hou and the emperor knew that this house was bought by Qian Qian Hou.

Qin Mansion? Live in Tai'an District?

Shi Jie couldn't think of who it was for a while. With his identity, he has no chance to know the important affairs of the court, and naturally he does not know who the Qin mansion is. Speaking of which, the people who lived near the Qin mansion knew who lived there when they knew that the master of the Qin mansion was here. Otherwise, Tai'an District is so big, who knows who is coming?

It doesn't matter if you don't know, Shi Jie immediately sent someone to inquire. And he hasn't found out yet, but the birthday of the old lady of Cheng'en Hou's mansion is coming.

Early in the morning, Yang Haiyan arrived at the gate of Du's house, and she and the daughters of the Du family made an appointment to go to the Marquis of Cheng'en together today.

"Bingyun is here." When she arrived at the door of Du's house, she saw Mrs. Du and Mrs. Qu waiting at the door.

Yang Haiyan was a little embarrassed. She was too early for her appointment. After all, she had an appointment with someone and couldn't be late, but she didn't expect Mrs. Du and Mrs. Qu to be so early. "Godmother, second sister-in-law, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Du smiled and said, "We just came out, and we are at the door. Where do we need to wait. Come on, let's go. Come to my carriage, and let's go over while chatting."

"Thank you godmother, I'll come right now." Yang Haiyan got off the carriage.

Only Mrs. Du and Mrs. Qu went to the Du residence. Mrs. Du stopped going when she was old. Sister Du started from her husband's house, and there were women who went with her husband's house. Erjie Du was not on the invitation list. After all, Erjie Du's in-law was only a small landlord and could not climb the threshold of Cheng'en Hou's mansion. Even if her husband was from the Hanlin Academy, he was only a rank seven. Low, the Marquis of Chengen probably doesn't know her yet.

The family invites people from the background of the husband's family. Unless you are the royal county lord, the royal princess.

On the carriage, Mrs. Du said, "There are many people today, so you can stay with us. I will also introduce you to a few familiar people who are easy to get along with."

Yang Haiyan said gratefully, "I listen to the godmother."

Mrs. Du knew that Yang Haiyan was a smart person, but she didn't worry about her, not to mention that she was a lady of the second rank, or a woman with a title conferred by the emperor, not those female relatives who were enshrined with her husband. "But don't worry, the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion is Queen Shen's family, and the old lady is the mother-in-law called by the emperor today. No one dares to sprinkle salt in the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion, even if they don't look at the raw face, they should look at the Buddha's face. ." Otherwise, the old lady's birthday will be troubled, and the emperor will not be able to live.

Of course, there is a premise for this kind of thing, that is, the emperor valued the Yue family. If he didn't value it, no one would care. Today, the emperor values ​​the Marquis of Chengen Mansion. Otherwise, Empress Shen would go before the emperor ascended the throne. This Marquis of Chengen could be given to the Ren family, but the emperor favored the Ren family. Whether it was the emperor's high regard for the Shen family or deliberately suppressing the Ren family, the emperor would definitely give the Shen family's face anyway.

The Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion was very lively, especially the gate of the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion. The carriages of all the worthy families in the capital stopped here today. It's just that today is the old lady's birthday, so it's all female relatives. Among the female family members, many young girls have come, and there are few people like the Du family who do not have young girls.

Of course, there are also young boys, but these have nothing to do with the woman Yang Haiyan.

Mrs. Qian, the prince's wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, greeted the guests at the door, and she was accompanied by the two ladies of the Hou's house. There are a lot of guests today, and many of them are of high status. Even if they are relatives of the royal family, they will not be less, so if it is not the old lady but the old birthday star, today's scene is for her to personally meet.

As soon as Mrs. Du brought Mrs. Qu and Yang Haiyan to the door, the servants of the Du family said, "The people from Du Shu, Mrs. Bingyun, and people from Wei'an are here." Du Ke is the official third-grade servant, so Mrs. Du's official third-grade title is Shu people. Wei Jin is the sixth rank in the Ministry of War, so Sister Du's official title of the sixth rank is An Ren. Although Yang Haiyan is the second grade, but Mrs. Du is her godmother, so she was in front of her when she signed up. "I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea."

The sound of congratulations sounded from the door, the sound of joy.

When Qian saw several people from the Du family coming, he went down the steps and came to greet them in person: "Aunt Du, Mrs. Bingyun, Mrs. Wei, welcome and welcome."

Mrs. Du took the lead and saluted, "I have seen Mrs. Shizi."

The Qian family also returned the salute together: "Thank you three for coming to celebrate my mother-in-law." If it was only Sister Du, the Qian family would not have to pay the salute, but Yang Haiyan was on the same level as her, so she could not accept Yang Haiyan's salute. Mrs. Du was of high rank, she Can't be honored either. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, this is arrogance. Arrogant, you have to look at people. You know, there are also classes in the women's room. If the women's room is offended, and the wind blows on the pillow, maybe the situation of the court will change.

Even for the sake of the second prince, Qian's family can't fall into the limelight.

Qian continued, "Aunt Du, Lady Bingyun, and Mrs. Wei, there are a lot of guests today. I have to receive guests. I also invite the three to come in with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is waiting for you inside."

Mrs. Du: "You're welcome, Mrs. Shizi, then we'll go first."

The lobby is very lively. The old lady of the Marquis of Chengen is actually the wife of Marquis Chengen, but because of her old age, people in the manor call her the old lady. She is almost fifty this year. In ancient times, this age was quite Not too small. In fact, Mrs. Du is about the same age, but looking at her appearance, it is obvious that Mrs. Du is in good spirits, and Mrs. Du also looks young.

The old lady of the Marquis of Cheng’en lost her daughter in her early years, and although the second prince has now been found, the pressure on the marquis is even greater. They have to support the second prince, so the pressure makes the old lady much older. It seemed that she was at least ten years older than Mrs. Du.

The old lady of the Marquis of Chengen was chatting with people inside, and the servant at the door said, "A guest is here."

Suddenly, all the people inside looked at the door curiously, because they didn't know who was coming, so everyone should pay attention.

After Mrs. Du brought the person into the house, the old lady of the Marquis of Chengen got up: "Old sister, you're here." After saying that, she happily stepped forward and went to greet the person in person.

Two years ago, before the Second Prince was found, the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the Du Family was very good. Because the Hou residence does not stand in line, they only support the emperor, which is the same as the Du family. In addition, the old lady lost her daughter at an early age, and Mrs. Du felt that she was really pitiful and often visited her. And when I was a young girl, I often walked around in a circle. After all, whether it is the Shen family or the Du family, they are both famous families. How can a girl who can marry into their family have a poor background?

But the difference is that the old lady of the Marquis of Chengen was very beautiful in her early years, and Marquis Chengen was also very handsome when she was young, so the two are talented and beautiful, and they are talked about with great interest.

Duco is different. Du Ke looks ordinary, with a shrewd look, and his stature is on the thin side. Speaking of which, if the Du family is not a noble family, he is the eldest son of the Du family, let alone marrying a girl from a good family. With his appearance, he is the family of the common people. The girl, it is estimated that he will not look down on him.

When Mrs. Du hired Mrs. Du for Du Ke, all the people in the capital were waiting to see the joke. But where do you know that Mrs. Du's family agreed to this marriage, and Mrs. Du herself agreed to a marriage.

After they got married, Mrs. Du gave birth to the eldest son. After a few years, the concubine gave birth to a concubine, and there was only one concubine in Du Ke's backyard. This life envied a lot of people.

The concubine waited until the eldest son could walk before getting pregnant, which was naturally the reason for the Du family. Because children are easy to die and can walk, it is different when they are about three or four years old. In this way, Mrs. Du's position is stable, and even if there are concubines behind, she will not be able to surpass Mrs. Du. Otherwise, the concubine will be pregnant early, what if Mrs. Du's first child is a daughter? The concubine gave birth to a son, and he became the eldest son of a concubine. Families with concubines and eldest sons are prone to problems.

Therefore, the Du family has a good style. What Mrs. Du's family and Mrs. Du liked was the style of the Du family.

What's the difference between men's appearance? And seeing how comfortable a woman is is the most important thing. Now, although Mrs. Du is only a third-class gentleman, but the whole capital is full of people, who doesn't give her face?

Besides, Du Ke is the official minister of the Ministry of War, and he will only wait for the old minister to become an official. By then, Mrs. Du will be the second-rank wife. In fact, the number of items is not important, the real power is the most important, and what Du Ke holds is the real power.

Mrs. Du bowed in the gesture of the old lady of Chengen Hou's mansion holding her hand: "I have seen Mrs." and then got up, "I am relieved to see that Mrs. is in good spirits and in good spirits. Let me introduce you to a A rare guest, although the righteous daughter of my master and I, she is also a woman who is truly a woman who will not let her men."

Mrs. Du called Yang Haiyan beside her: "Madam, this is Bingyun. I just came back from Yunxiang County and I am not familiar with the capital. Bingyun, this is Madam Chengenhou."

Yang Haiyan just followed Mrs. Du and saluted, and now she came to the old lady of Cheng'en Hou's mansion, and saluted again: "I have seen my wife, I wish my wife a blessing like Donghai and a long life like Nanshan." Not polite either.

The old lady knew that the Qin Mansion had taken good care of Shen Lixian before, and coupled with the relationship of the Du family, she was naturally polite to Yang Haiyan: "Ah, this is Bingyun, she is indeed a lovable girl, borrow your auspicious words and borrow your auspicious words. "

Mrs. Du nodded towards the servant, who came up with the gift. Mrs. Du took the gift: "Madam, happy birthday."

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan also sent a gift: "I wish Madam a happy birthday."

The Qu family doesn't need to be sent. The Du family has not yet been separated, and she and Mrs. Du are one.

The old lady was not polite either. When someone gave a gift on her birthday, it was a congratulatory gift, a joyous thing. No matter how serious the gift was, it made people happy. She said, "Then I will..."

Just as the old lady was about to ask someone to accept it, another voice came: "Ah, I don't know what gift Mrs. Du gave, let's take a look at the gift." The woman who spoke was younger and looked at it. She was in her thirties, and she didn't know when she came in. The servant at the door didn't report it, so the people in the lobby didn't notice someone coming at the door. It was estimated that she didn't let anyone report it on purpose.

If it is said that there are people in the capital who are not afraid of the Du family, there are many, such as the woman in front of him. The woman came from the Tian family of Cheng'en Gongfu, that is, the family of the first empress, and was the emperor's foreign family. Although the emperor's family had no women in the harem, when the emperor seized the heir, the family had done a lot of work. If one's own nephew wins the heirloom, of course the foreigner has to contribute, if not, the emperor fails to win the heirloom, and the emperor's foreigner will not be able to please him.

So this woman is not afraid of the Du family. Not only is he not afraid, there is still a conflict between Cheng'en's mansion and the Du family. This woman is Mrs. Qian Qianhou Shizi, and also the cousin of the emperor. When she was in the boudoir, she was domineering and domineering. Because she was a descendant, no one in the capital dared to provoke her. At that time, the eldest wife of the prince took a fancy to Du Ke's eldest son, but Du Ke, as the eldest son of the Du family, the eldest daughter-in-law to be hired by the Du family was to be a clan wife, so how could she value her? So when the Tian family revealed the news, they were rejected by Mrs. Du.

Later, the prince's wife did not give up, pestered Du Ke's eldest son several times, and went to Mrs. Du to talk to her, but she was still rejected. It was a big deal at the time.

Du Ke's eldest son was transferred to the outside world as soon as he got married, which also has this relationship. One is that Du Ke really wants to train the eldest son, and at the same time the emperor is about to win the heirloom, he does not want the eldest son to participate in this matter. The second is that the prince's wife had been making trouble. Du Ke was worried that her son would not give up when he got married, so he simply released his son.

Afterwards, at any gathering in the capital, as long as the prince's wife saw the Du family, she was not only full of style, but also sarcastic.

When the old lady saw it, she thought to herself, this is really not a coincidence. However, he still smiled and said, "It turns out that the county lord of Xiangyu is here." The county lord of Xiangyu is the title of the wife of the prince. She is the niece of the first empress, and this title was bestowed by the first empress.

The old lady is very willing to give face to the county chief, but there is no way out. The Tian family is the emperor's foreign family, and this Xiangyu county lord is the only granddaughter of Tian Gongye, who is the emperor's direct grandfather. To put it horribly, no matter which prince succeeds the throne, it will give the Tian family face. As long as the Tian family does not make mistakes, no matter who succeeds the throne, it will not touch the previous emperor's foreign family. Therefore, the Tian family really doesn't need to care about them.

However, the Shen family was different. The Shen family needed the Tian family to support the second prince.

Even if the Shen family knew that the emperor valued the second prince, the emperor did not explicitly say that he would give the throne to the second prince. Besides, the second prince is still young, and accidents will happen at any time, and the emperor is still young, so the current affairs will be uncertain in the future. Therefore, the Shen family wanted to pull the Tian family over.

But the Tian family are not fools, just like Du Ke, they are very stable and centrist.

The county lord of Xiangyu also gave the old lady face very much. After all, the Shen family has a second prince, and the second prince may also become the prince and become the king. Although the Tian family is not afraid of the Shen family, what if the second prince succeeds? The Tian family offended the Shen family, and the second prince would definitely have an idea. Therefore, the head of Xiangyu County is not a fool.

When the others in the lobby saw this, they all stood aside and did not dare to go forward. You must know that this county owner was really arrogant when she was a girl, and now she is a mistress, she still has no scruples. But there is a cousin like the emperor, and the backing is strong.

The emperor does not have a direct sister, and a concubine sister who is not helpful to him is not as good as a cousin. There are not many cousins. When he won the heir, many princes and uncles who stood in line were packed by him to guard the imperial mausoleum, or sent to distant places. Therefore, Xiangyu County is the only emperor. Not many girls.

"I've seen Mrs." Xiangyu County Lord first saluted the old lady of Cheng'en Hou's mansion, and then looked at Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du smiled and saluted: "I have seen the county owner."

Mrs. Du saluted, and Mrs. Qu also saluted. In the three-person line, only Yang Haiyan did not salute. Mrs. Du, the head of Xiangyu County, who has some grudges with the Du family, mentioned it, so she also knew her grade, and at the same time, she did not need to salute her. As proud as Mrs. Du, because her rank is not as good as that of Xiangyu County Lord, she has no choice. Because of the pride of the Du family, Yang Haiyan could not salute. At the same time, in the second rank, she bowed like her. In the eyes of others, it was the Du family who gave in because the two families had grievances.

If there is no grievance between the two families, such as the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion and the Du Family, she salutes Mrs. Qian, who is also the second rank of the prince's wife, and Mrs. Qian returns the salute. In the eyes of others, it is mutual etiquette. So the relationship between the two is different, and the way of looking at things is also different.

Besides, since she saluted, this Xiangyu County Lord will definitely not return the salute.

Mrs. Du saluted, but the county magistrate of Xiangyu didn't open it, she was just showing Mrs. Du's face. Yang Haiyan smiled slightly and helped Mrs. Du: "Ganniang, is your knee hurting again? Can the ginseng I gave you a while ago be effective? I heard that 50 years of ginseng tea is very effective. "

You must know what century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old ginseng only appear in fantasy novels. In this kind of normal fiction world, ginseng of a hundred years is already in the sky, so ginseng that is fifty years old is a treasure, and everyone hides it for life-saving use when necessary.

For Yang Haiyan, she must help Mrs. Du at this time, because she and the Du family are one. If she doesn't support Mrs. Du at this time, what will Mrs. Du think of her, and others will look down on her, and let her godmother keep saluting without getting up, but standing by herself, this is not a thing. .

Mrs. Du smiled and patted her hand: "Thanks to your ginseng, I've been drinking it for two days, and it's already much better. Recently, I rarely go out. It's the old lady's birthday today, so I just wanted to join in the fun." When she was helped, she stood up naturally. She was not such a cowardly woman. Besides, this Xiangyu county owner dares to ask her to salute again? If Xiangyu dared, she would not agree, and if she did, the two families would be in trouble. This was originally a small stomach chicken intestine between women, but it became a big grievance between the two families.
