Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3636 Blocking
The other person shook his head: "If you want to express your sincerity, there are plenty of opportunities before and after marriage. It would be a mistake to choose today."

"Hey, by the way, we're just talking about the Crown Princess and Concubine Su, and what's going on with Concubine Fang?" The man asked again.

"Concubine Su's 180 dowry embarrassing the Crown Princess, also cheated the Fang family!"

Another person said: "Fang's family is from Qingliu, a well-known family of scholars. I heard that there are only [-] dowries for this trip, of which forty are books and the four treasures of the study."

The man covered his mouth and laughed, "The Fang family's [-] lifts are just right. If there are too many, they will probably be targeted by the gang of censors. The Qingliu House is destined to be a breeze, giggling..."

After the two noble ladies finished their gossip with the three righteous masters, they started to gossip with other people in the hall, Yang Ruoqing listened with great interest.

While drinking tea and eating snacks, I was also thinking about this matter in my heart.

The rich dowry in Anlehou's mansion should have something to do with Zhuge Hui, right?
According to Yao's statement, the properties, farms, and shops in the Anlehou Mansion are almost all managed by Zhuge Hui.

Mrs. Hou eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, looking forward to Guanyin sending off her grandson every day, and ignores other things.

The wife of the eldest son, Mrs. Zhang, is not seen because she has no children. Even though she has a city in her heart, when the opponent is Zhuge Hui, Mrs. Zhang is a bit out of control.

And Zhuge Hui is the daughter of a businessman. It is said that she studied business with her mother, Mrs. Zhuge, when she was in her natal family. The mother and daughter are well-known strong women in the business circle of the capital, shrewd.

On the one hand, Zhuge Hui can run the business, on the other hand, he has a generous dowry, and on the other hand, the Zhuge family of his natal family will continue to provide subsidies, so the economic lifeline of the entire Anlehou Mansion is almost entirely in the hands of Zhuge Hui.

The generous dowry of 180 liters this time was Zhuge Hui's desire to use ten miles of red makeup to please his sister-in-law Su Ziyue, the future imperial concubine.

As long as Su Ziyue is favored by Qi Xingyun, then the Su family will gain power, and the Zhuge family will naturally rise.

It's a long-term investment and, not surprisingly, very profitable.

As for suppressing the limelight of the princess, this is the blind spot of Zhuge Hui's thinking and the limitation of the vision of a pure business woman.

And Lord Anle is obviously not very politically conscious, so he let Zhuge Hui arrange the dowry like this, which is very beautiful.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips after following through the seemingly intricate, but in fact, clear relationship between the characters and events.

Qi Xingyun always likes to be quiet. In his mansion, apart from the necessary servants and tea maids, it is said that there is not even a bed warmer around him for so many years.

Now it's all right, starting today, there are three more masters in this mansion, two of them are still on the way, and the smoke begins to fill the air.

In the future, this mansion will be lively.

Just as Yang Ruoqing was listening to the gossip around her with relish, a man who looked like a guard came to her.

"May I ask if this lady is Mrs. Luo from Zhongyongbo's residence?" the guard asked.

Yang Ruoqing's gaze fell on the guard in front of her, she nodded slightly and said, "Exactly, what's the matter?"

The guard said: "This subordinate is the attendant of His Highness the Crown Prince. Uncle Zhongyong is talking to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince at Juyixuan."

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Uncle Zhongyong asked about the young master's situation, and Uncle Zhongyong sent his subordinates to invite Madam to come over."

Hearing the guard's words, Yang Ruoqing guessed that it was the second prince Qi Xingchen who asked Tang Yazi why he didn't bring Chen'er here?

Because I agreed with the second prince before, and said that I would bring Chen'er to meet the second prince today.

Letting the pigeons go again, the second prince probably wants to question Luo Fengtang, and Luo Fengtang is a person who is not good at words, so it is normal to send someone to find her to rescue the soldiers.

Moreover, this guard, who showed his token, was indeed someone close to Prince Qi Xingyun, not those people with ulterior motives who sneaked in from outside.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing put down the teacup in her hand, stood up with a smile.

"Lead the way!" she said.

The guards led Yang Ruoqing out of the flower hall, walked westward, passed through the garden, the rockery, and passed through several verandahs.

Along the way, I met some servants who were busy coming and going. When they saw Yang Ruoqing, they all stepped aside and bowed their heads in salute.

While Yang Ruoqing lamented the depth and size of the Prince's Mansion, she also had to lament that the servants here are well trained.

"Madam Luo, Juyixuan is in front of you, a place where nobles gather, and this subordinate will send you here!"

The guard stopped, turned around and said to Yang Ruoqing who was behind him.

Yang Ruoqing looked up, and there was a small quiet courtyard hidden behind a pine tree in front of her.

On the arched gate of the courtyard are engraved several striking characters: Juyixuan.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Yang Ruoqing asked the guard.

"Today is His Highness the Crown Prince's big wedding. The place where he is should be very noisy. Did you bring it to the wrong place?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The guard said: "This is the study room of our Highness, where all the memorials are reviewed, and His Highness does not like to be disturbed,"

"At this moment, His Highness is discussing matters with His Highness the Second Prince and Uncle Zhongyong. Madam Luo just invites in."

Hearing the guard's words, Yang Ruoqing felt that it made sense, if the guard wanted to lie, it would be impossible for him to know about the meeting between Chen'er and the second prince.

Moreover, it is also possible that Tang Yazi and the two princes were discussing some private matters inside.

Just go in, she is also a courageous person with high skills, there is no reason not to enter this door.

So she went into the yard alone.

At this time, it was still raining, so she went to the porch to put away her umbrella, and stepped on the clean and comfortable wooden floor promenade towards the brightly lit room ahead.

Because of the rain, the light in the room was not good, and the flower hall was also brightly lit before.

When she reached the door of the lit room, Yang Ruoqing found that the door was open.

She went inside, and it really was a big study.

It was several times bigger than the study in Da'an's new house, and the rows of tall bookshelves next to the wall were almost full of books.

On the walls, there are bows and arrows, calligraphy and paintings, and in some places, special racks are used to carry swords, armors, and helmets.

This is... Qi Xingyun's study?
Wow, there are quite a lot of books here. I thought Da'an had enough books. Compared with Qi Xingyun here, it is really drizzle.

Moreover, with books, swords, and armor for fighting enemies, Qi Xingyun is really a man with both civil and military skills.

It's just that there is no one here, not even half of them, what the hell is going on?

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing subconsciously turned around to exit the study, but there was a sound of closing the door behind her.

She turned her head abruptly, and saw a person appearing in the study.

He blocked the door with his body, preventing her from leaving.
