Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 306 The second life-saving grace (3)
"It just depends on the opportunity. When the money is pawned, if it's not troublesome, can Sister Shui help me to see if there is a shop to exchange for it. It doesn't need to be very big, but the location should be in the area of ​​wealthy people."

It is said that everything is ready and it is only due to Dongfeng. Before Dongfeng comes, everything can be prepared. If the plan goes bankrupt, renting out the shop is also an income.

"Oh, looking at the weather outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain again. It's suddenly very cold in the past few days. The weather is too abnormal."

Shui Linghuan came in from outside with her maid, and changed into a new dress. These ladies always bring two or three sets of dresses when they go out as guests, and are ready to change at any time.

"The rain comes as soon as it is said. I watched the rain from the veranda, and my fourth aunt was afraid that I would catch the cold."

Qingli complained, because the fourth aunt Chen didn't know the situation when she fell into the water last time, so she was really worried for several days, and basically came to see it every night before going to bed, for fear that the maid and mother-in-law would not take good care of her.

"Cousin, Qingli, do you think the Empress Dowager really has a cold? The doctors are helpless, isn't this too useless? The three flower festivals in March have been cancelled. I'm afraid this is some serious illness. Doctor Bai is going to go. It is said that he has not returned to the palace for several days."

Shui Linghuan lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I don't think it's as simple as Fenghan."

Of course it’s not as simple as Fengchi. Fengchi is just a statement to the outside world. Even Shui Linghuan, who has a straight stomach, has seen signs of it. I’m afraid that every family in the capital has already realized that something has happened. The maid, or she really doesn't know, and I'm afraid the one who knows is very strict, and there is no news yet.

"It's not a coincidence that I didn't come back. I've been clean recently. If the quack doctor can't treat the queen mother well, I think it's likely that he will lose his head."

Although Shui Lingli said so, but she didn't know that she was frowning tightly, with a sad expression on her face, their people didn't get any news, Bai Ruochen didn't send any news, and the carrier pigeon who originally contacted was also shot to death. Something must have happened in the palace.

The Empress Dowager is surnamed Jiang and has no heirs. The current Emperor Hongde was originally born to Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi passed away because of dystocia, so she took the initiative to raise Emperor Hongde when she was still a queen. No less effort, the queen mother originally wanted her niece Jiang to be the emperor's queen, but was preempted by the Bai family and could only be subservient to the imperial concubine, but Jiang's daughter and the emperor's childhood sweetheart had a very strong relationship, Even the White Queen is hard to compare, so much so that now she is very partial to Yelu Churen, the third prince born by Concubine Jiang, who should have been crowned prince a long time ago, because this has been dragging on, and all the officials in the court are also waiting and watching state.

In fact, the direct beneficiaries of the Queen Mother's accident were the Bai family, but they recruited Bai Ruochen into the palace inexplicably. If there was any mistake, it would be a serious crime of losing his head. If the director acts on his own, I'm afraid the Bai family will be in some trouble.

Yelu Chuyang Xingsi, the eldest son of the White Queen, is also 16 years old this year. He is modest and polite, not aggressive. Under the aura of the prince, he looked very inconspicuous.

"It is indeed a bit strange."

A few days ago, the Queen Mother was fine, and she was in high spirits. At the flower fair, she not only gave prizes, but also announced that the top three winners would have the chance to enter the palace to accompany her to enjoy the flowers. After only a few days, she fell ill immediately. It sounds like she is about to die. As if dying, and after the third prince Yelu Churen searched the servant's mansion but failed, Qingli guessed that the young master of the Yun family must have stolen something extraordinary, and the third prince immediately fought back. A warning.

"It looks like it's going to rain today, so we'll go back. Let's invite you to the Shangshu Mansion next time. My mother still misses you."

Shui Lingli should have thought of this too, and seemed restless. Seeing the dark sky outside, she stood up and said goodbye. Shui Linghuan beside her still had a face of reluctance. Learning embroidery is not comfortable here.

Sending off the sisters from the Shui family, Qingli patted her head. When she was in the Mo family village, she only had to worry about the livelihood of the family, but in the capital, she was unknowingly connected with the incident of seizing the heir apparent. This was completely unexpected to her. In fact, the life she yearns for is a state of being rich and safe, but it is almost impossible under this feudal system. Without power, being rich is useless.

It wasn't until dinner time that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt came back one after another. Qingli accompanied the two of them to eat, and the maidservant waited behind her. Basically, what she wanted to eat, Du Juan could tell exactly what she wanted to eat. I found it, and I did my best to serve her. The only little regret is that this maid is not hers, but just borrowed.

"Master, your favorite crystal elbow, I don't think you even moved your chopsticks, why did you eat it in the palace?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Mo Ruhai with frowning frowns, and was very puzzled. The person who usually has sex with meat is silent now, eating with rice grains in his chopsticks, absent-minded, and didn't notice when he put the chopsticks on his cheeks.

"Ah? No, no, I thought it was going to rain, so I hurried back."

Mo Ruhai raised his head in a daze, not knowing what to think, seeing Chen's strange gaze, he changed his face, "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the Emperor is worried, and he is not in a good mood, how could he be so leisurely?"

"It's not that you have a cold, but what kind of serious illness did you get?"

Mrs. Chen also noticed something different, but she never expected it to be so far-reaching. The court affairs are all for men, and women only need to manage the inner house well at home.

"I can't ask. This morning, I saw that Mr. Ruan, the servant of the household department, sent a string of beeswax to Eunuch Liu who was next to the emperor. What he said was to inquire about the news of the Queen Mother. You know, although Eunuch Liu is an eunuch, he is very He is greedy for money, and has been with the emperor for more than 20 years, so he is fat, but this time he kept silent, and even returned the beeswax string."

Because of the Empress Dowager’s affairs, the emperor often went to attend the sick, and he dozed off in the early court, and was not in the mood. Today’s discussion on border matters stopped abruptly in the middle. If we don’t make a strategy in advance to prepare for a rainy day, the border is worrying.

Qingli doesn't know what's wrong with the queen mother, but she thinks it was caused by the third prince. Now she can't get in touch with Peach Blossom Eye, and she doesn't know what's going on. Influence, people outside will think about it, maybe they will spread rumors, saying that everything is because the White Queen has her own selfishness, so she let her nephew pretend to be unable to heal the Queen Mother. .

After dinner in a dull atmosphere, the fourth uncle went out of the house again. Qingli and the fourth aunt discussed how to decorate the shop. The pastry shop must be spacious, bright, and the most important thing is to be hygienic. If there is any mess and dirt, it is necessary to ensure that the cook wears special overalls and hats when making pastries. The shop assistants must also dress uniformly. Not too often, and finding a hair in a pastry is quite a turnoff.
