Concubine, you can't be sick, the prince favors the evil concubine

Chapter 9

"Xiaodie, you go down first, you don't have to stare here all the time, just take a look at it for an hour. Let me know when the stone is completely turned into powder." He Lanyue took a look at the small brick kiln that was working stably. Asked to Xiaodie.

"Yes, ma'am."

He Lanning's yard.

"What? The evil star wants to take back all the Xuanyuan family's dowry?" He Lanning was surprised and full of resentment, "What about the daughter? Mother, didn't you say that those things are the daughter's dowry? No To that evil star! Can’t give it!”

"Don't worry, Ning'er," Jiang said slowly, comforting He Lanning: "The old lady has already spoken, so I can only give those things."

He Lanning listened anxiously, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang's wave.

"However, the most valuable shops in there have no appearance, only empty shelves left. As for the gold, silver, satin jewelry, let her take it. Compared with the things in those shops, they are nothing but It’s just a drop in the bucket.” Jiang smiled sinisterly, seeming to have a plan in mind.How dare that evil star snatch something from her hand!It's not that easy!

He Lanning breathed a sigh of relief, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Damn evil star! It's too much to give her a tael of silver."

The next morning.

He Lanyue looked at the eight sealed small porcelain bottles on the table in front of her, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up.In the small porcelain bottle is the product of calcined limestone yesterday, quicklime.Now it is packed in a small airtight porcelain bottle, because it is afraid that the quicklime will combine with the water vapor in the air, react and turn into slaked lime, which will not achieve the effect she wants.

She originally thought that five bottles of quicklime could be produced from that piece of limestone, but to her surprise, eight bottles were produced, and the purity was much higher than modern ones. As for the effect, it would naturally be more obvious .

As soon as the things were put away, a very impolite maid's voice came from outside the house, yelling loudly without even addressing her, "Hey, Da Furen wants you to go to the old Furen's yard, hurry up."

He Lanyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, Jiang's movements were quite fast, she couldn't wait so early in the morning.However, she is not in a hurry, and the maid outside is very noisy, so let's use her as a test.

Seeing that the young lady didn't speak or move, Xiaodie also stood there quietly without making a sound.

Seeing that no one answered, the servant girl frowned, with a look of impatience, she walked over, and sarcastically said, "Why haven't you woken up yet? Could it be that you did something shameful last night."

"Get up quickly! The eldest lady is waiting for you!" Pushing open the door, the servant girl yelled angrily.Being sent to such a remote courtyard early in the morning and having to face that evil star is a waste of time!
"You..." The servant girl just opened the door, before she could say a second sentence, she was dazzled by the white powder flying towards her face, she couldn't even open her eyes, she just rubbed her hands indiscriminately on her face subconsciously. with.

He Lanyue smiled coldly, put away the empty porcelain bottle, and stepped out of the room.In memory, that maid was called Chunhua, who was the big maid beside Jiang Shi, and occasionally accompanied He Lanning to bully her predecessor.That day when she was held underwater was planned by this Chunhua.Today, just sprinkle a little quicklime on her face, it's the interest of what happened before.

As for how Chunhua chooses to get rid of the quicklime, it depends on her own luck.

He Lanyue took Xiaodie a few steps away when suddenly there was a shrill scream from behind: "Ah!"

Xiaodie's body trembled, a little puzzled, there was no one in the yard, why did Chunhua cry so miserably?

He Lanyue's lips swayed slowly, stained with an inexplicable smile.Quicklime will emit a lot of heat when it meets water, and it can even cook eggs.Chunhua must be eager to get rid of the quicklime on his face, so he rinsed it with water.

Tsk tsk, the quicklime on the face can be washed away by water, but the blisters on the face may not fade away for a while.

Moreover, judging from the sternness of Chunhua's scream, the effect of this quicklime is several times higher than that of modern ones.Tried, very successful.

He Lanyue smiled slightly and went straight to the old lady's yard.

As soon as she entered the yard, He Lanyue felt sensitively that the atmosphere in the house was very heavy.However, this didn't affect her in the slightest, she entered the room as usual, and saluted one by one.

The difference from yesterday was that Prime Minister He Lanwei was also present, sitting beside the old lady, his brows were tightly furrowed, and when he saw He Lanyue coming in, his expression darkened, as if she owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Mother, you are not ignorant of the situation in the mansion, and your son has to manage up and down in the court, and needs money everywhere. Although Yue'er is married to the crown prince, you also know the specific situation. The dowry is really not necessary." He Lanwei was on the side, persuading the old lady with emotion.

He Lanyue snorted coldly, it seemed that it was really for money.She knew that Xuanyuan's dowry accounted for a large part of all the property in Zuo Xiangfu.Before that, she was still thinking, after all, Zuo Xiang's mansion is the birthplace of this body, so some money should be kept.Now it seems that it is really unnecessary.

It is understandable that the concubine was concerned about the dowry, after all, she has no blood relationship with Jiang.However, He Lanwei wanted to reduce her dowry for money!
His father is really 'competent'!
The old lady ignored He Lanwei, smiled and waved to He Lanyue, "Yue girl, come here and sit beside grandma."

"Thank you grandma." He Lanyue saluted politely, then sat down beside the old lady generously, and whispered in a low voice: "Grandmother, Yue'er has sunflower water coming these days, can you add a brazier for Yue'er?"

The old lady patted He Lanyue's hand kindly, and said to the outside: "Come here, bring a brazier to Yue girl."

"Yes." Someone immediately went down to prepare.

"Yue'er, this is your mother's dowry gift list back then, and this is your dowry gift list when you get married in the future. Yue'er, please check carefully to make sure nothing is wrong." Jiang Shi is very generous today, and will Two gift lists, one new and one old, were handed over to He Lanyue, but there was no trace of heartache on her face.

He Lanwei saw that his mother and the Jiang family were so cooperative, and took the initiative to hand over the Xuanyuan family's dowry to He Lanyue, so he didn't speak again, but just looked at He Lanyue with a little inquiring, with a faint flicker in his eyes. Doubt.

He Lanyue, a daughter who was almost forgotten by him, what kind of ability is it that both her mother and Mrs. Jiang help her!

He Lanyue took the gift list, and didn't rush to check it, but put it aside, and said calmly: "My concubine has always been careful in doing things, and there must be no mistakes in these two gift lists."

Unexpectedly, He Lanyue didn't check. Jiang paused for a moment, then a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he bowed his head to the old lady and said: "Since the dowry has been handed over, and the daughter-in-law still has some trivial matters, I will leave first."
