Chapter 146 This is family business

Xue Yutan decided to pretend to be stupid.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Xue Chi's words, his grandmother firmly believed that Xue Mei had been hanging out with Wen Zhao, rather than going to the palace, and Xue Yutan believed so.

It’s a pity that Xue Mei’s silver notes and precious jewelry have been hidden where they are.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw a eunuch in purple clothes.

In the palace, Ziyi was a second-class eunuch, with a higher status than Blue Yi, but lower than Red Yi.

The last time I was conferred the title of the county lord Xue Mei, the eunuch in red sent out in the palace.

It should not be a gift.

Then what is it?

Xue Yutan looked at the eunuch a few times and saw the young eunuchs in green clothes next to him. Each of them was holding a tray in his hand, covering it with red silk cloth.

It's like there's a reward in the palace.

Why did you suddenly appreciate Xue Mei?

"...Father-in-law, my sister has not returned for four days, and there is no one to be found at present. Please wait a moment." Xue Yutan said, "Can you know where my sister is going?"

The Ziyi Laofu glanced at Xue Yutan, and his voice was long and he was disdainful: "Who are you? The imperial edict was announced in the palace, but the head of the family would not come to receive the imperial edict? Are you the head of the family?"

Xue Yutan felt embarrassed on his face.

She was used to being a legitimate lady, and she was the one who stood up everywhere in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

But the eunuchs don't care about this.

They only value identity.

To announce the edict to Xue Mei, the marquis's mansion should prepare an incense case, and the marquis of Yongning should also update the court ward and accept the edict with Xue Mei.

At this moment, only one young lady came out, and the purple-clothed father-in-law felt more and more that the marquis's mansion had no rules.

"Dad, the marquis will come soon." Xue Yutan raised his face slightly and called the butler again, asking the butler to prepare the incense table.

The housekeeper hurried to go.

The purple-clothed father-in-law glanced at her from the beginning, but still didn't take her seriously.

Xue Yutan was so angry.

Soon, Yongning Hou came out.

He changed the marquis's court robes, winked at Xue Yutan, and then said to the eunuch Xuanzhi: "Dadfather-in-law, please have tea in the flower hall.

The rebellious girl disappeared for no reason, and we are also looking for her, but we haven't found her figure yet. Why not I accept the order for her and let her go to the palace to thank her for her."

My father-in-law's slightly loose eyelids tickled him: "There is no such rule, Yongning Hou. Then wait a moment, the county lord may be back soon."

The forehead of Yongning Hou was sweating.

He sent someone to Wen's house again to ask if Xue Mei was in Wen's house.

At the same time, Xue Mei also arrived at the Marquis Mansion of Yongning. Because the Lu family and the Marquis Mansion West Garden were on the same road, Xue Mei asked the Lu family to not turn the carriage to the front yard, so she put down her directly in the West Garden.

She knocked on the door of Xiyuan.

Her elder brother goes to the yamen every day and only takes the job for half a day. Unless there is something big in the court, such as the prince's wedding or royal sacrifice, the Ministry of Rites needs to be busy.

Xue Chi happened to be at home.

Seeing Xue Mei coming back, his face looked a little strange.

"Mei'er, this matter is a bit embarrassing. However, I told the mothers not to hurt your people, and even gave them two beds of bedding.

However, they should be frightened now, so hurry up and go and have a look." As soon as they met, Xue Chi said so.

Xue Mei immediately thought of her maid and tamper, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xue Chi said concisely: "Huiningyuan is still sealed now."

Xue Mei:!!

Xue Chi paused and asked her again: "Did you make meritorious service in the palace or have you caused trouble? An eunuch came to the front yard and was waiting for you to receive the order."

"Make a meritorious service." Xue Mei said.

Her eyes rolled and she smiled, "Brother, my tamper and maids, just take care of them, don't let them be sold, I'll go to the palace."

"Why are you going again?"

"I'm bullied, I'm going to sue." Xue Mei said.

Xue Chi: "..."

Xue Mei turned around and left, and Xue Chi called her to stop making trouble.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. The trivial matters in the house are so intense that you have no face. Go and receive the order." Xue Chi said to her.

Xue Mei is not afraid of causing trouble.

She thought about it and couldn't bear to have her maid and tamper still locked in the woodshed room.

She pondered: "Then I will go and complain to you another day. I saved Concubine Dan Tai, who is Prince Yu's mother..."

She dragged the ending sound.

Xue Chi shook her head helplessly and smiled: "Go and receive the order quickly, I'll go with you."

It was difficult for Xue Mei to go directly from the inner courtyard, and came out from the western courtyard again. Accompanied by Xue Chi, he arrived at the front yard of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing her, the servants were very happy.

"The eldest lady is back, the eldest lady is finally back." The servants shouted.

I quickly signed up.

The Marquis of Yongning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of looking back and settled the score with Xue Mei, and first pass the threshold in front of him.

The Xue family set up a table of incense, but the old lady did not come. Under the leadership of Yongning Hou, Xue Mei, Xue Chi and Xue Yutan knelt on the ground and listened to the imperial edict.

The imperial edict is still "coordination" and is also rewarded by Xue Mei.

This time the imperial edict was quite long, and the eunuch announced the imperial edict was wandering around. He first read Xue Mei's title and other titles, said some routine compliments, and then began to talk about Xue Mei's achievements.

"...The imperial concubine is in danger. Cheng Yang tried his best to seize the imperial concubine's life in the hands of the King of Hell..."

When Yongning Hou heard this, he was shocked.

It turned out that Xue Mei really went into the palace, not going out to play with Wen Zhao.

Xue Yutan shook his body.

In the imperial edict, Xue Mei saved Concubine Dan Tai?

"She hates me so much and is kind to the imperial concubine, so I and Prince Yu..." Xue Yutan felt chill all over when he thought of this.

The eunuch Xuandi finally said: "I rewarded five hundred taels of gold, how proud."

Xue Mei stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.

The four young eunuchs put the tray on the Xue family's incense table and uncovered the red silk.

Gold is almost burning in the sun.

Yongning Hou only glanced at him, his eyes dodged, and desire was almost flowing out.

Xue Mei grabbed four five taels of gold ingots and rewarded them to the eunuch in purple.

Twenty taels of gold, the value is about 2,000 taels of silver. My father-in-law in purple took it and was very happy.

What Xue Mei gave to the eunuch in Qingyi was still silver bills.

Several eunuchs said goodbye, and Yongning Hou and others went to see him off in person.

When he came back, Xue Mei put all the gold into a tray, about 40 pounds, and handed it to Xue Chi: "Brother, please help me move it back."

Yongning Hou seemed to want to say something.

With so much gold, Xue Mei is already very rich.

After pausing, Xue Mei said, "I remember that my Huining Garden has been sealed. I want to report back to Your Majesty and open a mansion for me alone."

Yongning Hou and Xue Yutan were both frightened by her.

She is going to sue.

She had just made a contribution, and the emperor rewarded her with gold to reward generals with outstanding military achievements, which shows that the emperor valued her many respects.

If she complains, even if the emperor does not punish the Marquis of Yongning, Concubine Dan Tai will hold a grudge.

In the future, the Marquis of Yongning will never be promoted, and Xue Yutan will never be qualified to marry King Yu.

"Mei'er, never." said the Yongning Hou, "This is a family matter."

Xue Mei raised her eyebrows, her eyebrows were full of coldness: "Family affairs? Father, I went to the palace to take care of the imperial concubine, and that was the order. You are afraid you don't know yet. The palace came to announce the order that day, and the old woman in the second door of the mansion would not open the door anyway.

The situation was critical at that time, and no one remembered this. It was already a serious crime for us to treat the people in the palace so lightly. You are still stabbing the knife in the back, and I must ask Your Majesty to uphold justice."

After saying that, she was about to leave.

The Yongning Hou couldn't stop him and suddenly shouted at Xue Yutan: "Yutan, why don't you go and kneel down to apologize to your elder sister, it depends on your good things!"

Xue Yutan looked at her father in shock.
