As soon as Xiao Niangpi finished speaking, everyone suddenly became happy.
Everyone knows that those who come to Uncle Dingyuan's house to handle affairs and deliver orders are just fat servants. It is said that Uncle Yuan's house is very generous. I didn't expect it to be so generous.
Shuangxi happily bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, madam, for the generous gift."
Although pocket watches are already on sale in Yang Fan's newly opened watch store, the price is very impressive. Production is still limited. Once launched, it quickly became popular throughout Ming Dynasty's upper class society.
When serving the Queen with Double Happiness, it is especially important to control the time. However, this was something he couldn't afford.
This kind of thing that can tell the time anytime and anywhere is definitely the ultimate tool for showing off.
The hollow carved case of pure gold is studded with precious stones. Especially when you press the button, the watch cover pops open with a ding, revealing the glass cover and exquisite dial, which is even more luxurious.
Now the clock factory in Xincheng can produce sitting clocks and large vertical clocks. Pocket watches can also be produced because of their large size and relatively low difficulty. The pocket watches now produced by Xincheng Watch Factory are fully ten centimeters in diameter. But the shell is carefully crafted and very beautiful. Taking it out from my pocket, it was very conspicuous.
It is the ultimate tool to highlight status and wealth. A pocket watch with this kind of gold case costs three hundred taels of silver.
Seeing that Madam Dingyuan was happy, Shuangxi took out a letter from his arms. He said, "My Majesty, there is another letter for Madam." Then she handed the letter to Aunt Mei who was hungry. Aunt Mei took the letter to Xiao Niangpi.
"Our family has already taken care of your Majesty's affairs. There are still some things that need to be taken care of in the palace. We will not disturb Madam. We will retire now." Shuangxi said.
"Well, Aunt Mei will see off my father-in-law and everyone for me."
After watching Shuangxi and his party leave, Xiao Niangpi picked up the envelope and looked at it. The few lines of beautiful handwriting on it were the Queen's own handwriting.
The words "Tu Shan Yue Qin Qi" are particularly eye-catching. The little girl frowned a little and didn't understand why the queen wrote to her. If you have anything to do, just ask Shuangxi to tell you something.
Lin Yueru came over. He said: "Recently, some people in the court seem to be trying to harm the master. Is there something unexpected in the palace?"
Xiao Niangpi checked it and found that the paint was intact and opened the envelope.
There were five or six pages of letter paper inside, and it looked like it was written by the Queen herself. Tu Shanyue recognized the Queen's handwriting.
She looked at it expressionlessly and opened the letters one by one.
Lin Yueru saw Tu Shanyue's eyebrows gradually rising and her cheeks starting to turn red. Breathing also gradually becomes thicker. Suddenly, I felt bad.
"What did the empress say?" Lin Yueru asked uneasily.
"Hmph! You can read it yourself." As she said this, Xiao Niangpi handed the letter to Lin Yueru.
Lin Yueru was in charge of intelligence, and she had not received any news from the court. Because as soon as the imperial court ended today, Chongzhen asked Queen Zhou to write a letter to Xiao Niangpi in an attempt to appease Yang Fan. After all, this was done somewhat unethically.
Lin Yueru flipped through the pages, and the more she read, the angrier she became.
There is a saying that the master often says, explanation is just a cover-up, everything is settled, and there is no explanation.
"How could they do this? They really don't have any dignity at all." Lin Yueru turned pale with anger and slammed the letter on the table.
Tu Shanyue sneered: "I didn't understand the master's own tricks from the beginning. He told me that the emperor is unreliable, and you have to count on him to point you to the cucumber field."
Lin Yueru said: "The emperor is thinking about saving money. Donglin is thinking about seizing power. The other parties are thinking about how to protect their own interests in the Qing army. No one has considered the safety and difficulties of the master. Fortunately, the master is serving the court. They have done so many things. Are they blind or have a dark heart?"
Tu Shanyue said: "Fortunately, I have 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry lurking in Yinshan. Otherwise, I don't know how they were tricked to death this time."
Lin Yueru said: "This bullshit court is not as good as when my adoptive father was here. At least the adoptive father's first consideration is the overall situation. The government's finances can run well, and the generals who can fight are particularly lenient. They never thought about it, sir. If defeated, the Oirats rush in
Come on, what serious consequences will there be? Isn't this deception? "
"Hmph, rumors that they want to negotiate peace with Oirat have come out frequently recently." Tu Shanyue said: "Maybe everyone from the emperor to the ministers hopes that I will lose. Maybe the memorial to impeach me for defeat has been prepared. Well. We have already discussed how to distribute the land and workshops of the Yang family."
Lin Yueru said angrily: "The emperor has no money, so he asks the ministers for it. Which one of them is not rich? They don't pay taxes. My Yang family has done so many things for the court, and if the emperor does this, there will be no money." With good intentions, no one is a fool. If the master loses the battle, the most serious consequences may be to be imprisoned and have his house confiscated. They actually think that the Yang family’s property is suitable for pig slaughter. What do they think?”
Xiao Niangpi said: "My Yang family is a lonely minister. Maybe the emperor thinks it is easy to bully. Does he dare to touch others? Donglin supported the three of them, father and son, to come to power. The tree is big and has deep roots. Xungui is in charge of the army. If he swallows The property of my Yang family can be used to plug his financial hole."
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were both from Dongchang, and their parents were veterans who had experienced power struggles among the upper class. What they have witnessed since childhood are all kinds of conspiracies and power struggles.
They hear and see more than ordinary officials in a lifetime.
In many things, as long as a little clue is revealed, they will know what you want to do.
Women's intuition is often very accurate. Women think differently than men. They only think about profit. Just look at whether something is good for you or not good for you.
Because there are no messy things like men's feelings, sense of accomplishment, but it is clear and clear, right down to the core interests.
Now, if you don't give reinforcements to Yang Fan, you just don't have good intentions.
They did this because they all hoped that Yang Fan would fall into trouble.
He got up too quickly and too smoothly. If one gets too much. Then he has no friends.
The little girl felt so angry that her stomach ached, and she walked around with her hands behind her back, thinking about how to deal with this situation.
With her domineering personality, of course she couldn't tolerate this matter so much. Dare to attack Yang Fan, which had already touched her inverse scale. This thing can't be finished without killing a few of the little girls.
"Yue Ru, send a person to meet Wen Tiren secretly. Tell him how he was squeezed out of the list of people to join the cabinet." Xiao Niangpi said with a straight face.
Play with me and see what I do to you.
"Also, give him a copy of Qian Qianyi's bad story. He will know what to do."
Lin Yueru's heart tightened, Tu Shanyue was still the same Tu Shanyue, nothing had changed.
If you don't take action, it's enough. If you do, it will be cruel and ruthless.
Although she was married to Yang Fan, she always showed the affection of a young woman, but that was only for her husband to see. Her true face has always been the Tushan stall.
"Since they don't want to make things easier for me, they don't have to go through it. It's hard to say whether I will be defeated. But don't even think about Qian Longxi's plan to manipulate Qian Qianyi into the cabinet so as to take over Li Biao's position as chief minister of the cabinet. "
