As soon as Aunt Liang left, Jing Yi ran back:
"Princess, did Aunt Liang come to cause trouble just now?"
In the past few days, he has been at the Taifu's Mansion, completing the tasks assigned by his master, and assisting the Taifu's wife to get back the dowry shop.
The handover was just completed today.
All eighteen shops have been returned to Xie Nuanyan's hands.
Today, the Taifu Mansion has no other source of income except Taifu Ye's monthly salary, and all economic power is in Xie Nuanyan's hands.
Aunt Liang, who was used to living a life of luxury and enjoyment, suddenly fell from heaven to mud. She couldn't accept it and was bound to make trouble.
Ye Jinxiao nodded, "I made a fuss for a while and was driven away."
Jing Yi said: "The Ye family is really unreasonable. They occupied your mother's shop and refused to give it back. They invited the government to make arrangements. They even threatened to hang someone..."
Suddenly his expression changed slightly and he immediately changed his words:
"Princess, the Ye family mentioned in this humble post does not include you!"
Ye Jinxiao chuckled and shook his head.
"Is my mother finished with her work?"
"Yes, everything has been dealt with. If the financial source is cut off, then the Ye family will probably have a hard time in the future."
For more than ten years, wearing silks and satins, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and supporting dozens of servants, the poor scholar's family was very extravagant.
Now that’s it, let’s go eat the bran-thick vegetables.
Ye Jinxiao actually couldn't understand why her mother chose to marry him and was willing to be buried in the backyard of Taifu's house for fifteen years when her status as Taifu was far unworthy of her mother.
My mother was confused, could it be that my grandfather was watching helplessly?
Grandfather is willing to let his daughter be bullied like this by that family?
She doesn't understand.
Why did such a beautiful and generous woman as my mother fall in love with a poor scholar?
"Guard Jing, thank you for your hard work."
Jing Yi was extremely respectful: "I don't dare to humble my position. These are all orders from the master. If the princess wants to thank you, then she should thank the master."
He knew that the current relationship between the two was delicate.
Observing the princess's face, he carefully tried to mediate: "Princess, the master has been stupid before, including in humble positions. All of us were deceived by Liu Mingyue."
"I hope you can give the master a chance for the sake of the husband and wife's kindness."
As the words fell, no emotion was seen on the princess's face.
He didn't seem worried, but he wasn't annoyed either. He just chuckled:
"There are so many women in the world, why do they come to ask me for help? Do you know what love is?"
"Have you ever loved someone?"
Jing Yi lowered his head: "I have never been in a humble position."
"I do not have either."
Although I don’t know what it feels like to love someone, at least my heart beats like fire. After two lifetimes, this heart has never throbbed for anyone.
"Look at you, you have never had anyone you like, how can you understand feelings? You are here to persuade me, why don't I find a suitable opportunity and introduce you to a few suitable women first?"
Jing Yi's face turned slightly pale and he immediately said as if he had encountered a hot potato:
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I only want to protect my master in my humble position, and I have never considered personal affairs."
Ye Jinxiao smiled and stepped forward, "Don't refuse in such a hurry. You see, you are already a grown man."
Jing Yi was horrified: "Princess, I have never considered taking a humble position!"
"What do you think of Rou'er beside me?"
"I still have official duties in my humble position, please resign first!"
Jing Yi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. After saying this, he immediately ran away as if he had seen a ghost, and disappeared in a flash.
Ye Jinxiao smiled from ear to ear.
Persuading others is the same thing, but when it's your turn, it's like seeing a scourge.
This Jing Yi is a person who doesn't tolerate teasing.
"Miss..." Next to her, Rou'er's eyes were full of sadness, "Even if you don't like the prince, don't use your slaves as a shield."
She doesn't want to get married.
She will serve the lady for the rest of her life.
Ye Jinxiao grabbed a winter jujube and took a bite, "Rou'er, to be honest, I think Jing Yi is pretty good and a reliable man."
"You deliberately teased me!"
"I am serious."
Rou'er stomped her feet in embarrassment and ran away angrily, "I won't tell you anymore!"
Outrageous!
Ye Jinxiao laughed loudly, suddenly feeling that teasing these two people was quite fun.
However, not long after the laughter, a person came from the palace and said that he had been told by the emperor to arrange some official affairs for King Yu, and she was also arranged.
She pointed at her nose and stopped laughing.
she?
She was also arranged?
The father-in-law who sent the message said: "The matter is urgent and to prevent riots, please King Yu and Princess Yu to make arrangements in advance."
After delivering the message, he returned to the palace.
Ye Jinxiao didn't know why, so Chu Yuci explained: "The mountain bandits in Jiangcheng caused chaos and harmed a large number of suffering people. They fled outside the capital. If they cannot be resettled in time, there may be chaos."
After General Yuan's side has wiped out the bandits and settled the situation, he will send these suffering people home.
"Xiao'er, if you don't want to go, don't go. I can just go over and take care of it. Maybe my father took you with him when he gave the order."
Ye Jinxiao asked: "Isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"If Father asks, I will tell you that you have gone."
"Aren't you also bullying me?"
"I am the son and he is the father. I have taken care of things. I have no reason to punish my son."
Ye Jinxiao suddenly felt that his rebellious look was a bit cute.
"Xiao'er, it's cold, just stay at home and wait for me to come back and have dinner together, okay?" He behaved tentatively, with a soft smile on his face. After saying this, he actually waited nervously secretly. looking at her answer.
Ye Jinxiao smiled noncommittally and said, "Then let's go together."
After saying that, he walked out first.
Chu Yuci's eyes darkened.
Regarding dinner, did she agree or not?
-
In the northern suburbs of the city, a group of suffering people gathered here, a total of four to five hundred people. They were from two villages. They were burned, killed, looted, and bullied by bandits. They were forced to flee the village and came to the imperial capital to complain. He issued a royal decree and begged the court for protection.
When Emperor Nanyuan learned of the situation, he immediately attached great importance to it and sent King Yu to deal with it.
When King Yu and his wife arrived, a familiar figure had already arrived in advance and was already involved in the rescue:
"Get two basins of hot water, hurry up... Don't worry, she will be fine... Don't worry!"
"Harder, harder!"
It's Liu Mingyue.
She was seen tucking into her sleeves and running back and forth eagerly, while a village woman was lying in a dilapidated wooden house made of simple wooden boards, her belly bulging and she was about to give birth.
But it was difficult to give birth.
Although a lot of blood was shed, the child was still born, and the painful screams were heart-wrenching.
Liu Mingyue tried her best to treat her, and the villagers all looked worriedly. Several people were crying, and they should be the village woman's family members.
Everyone was so nervous that no one noticed when King Yu and his wife came.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Jinxiao stepped forward quickly: "Let me take a look."
Liu Mingyue raised her head and saw the person coming. Her eyes flew past Chu Yuci with admiration, and then she looked at Ye Jinxiao:
"Princess Yu, why are you here?"
He said hurriedly: "This place is dirty and dirty. Don't get your skirt dirty. Why do you condescend to come here and suffer injustice? Get out quickly!"
Her face was covered with sweat and her hands were covered with blood. She tried her best to save the woman regardless of the dirt.
Looking at Ye Jinxiao again, although her clothes are not ostentatious, her clean and cold nobility really makes her look superior and out of place here.
In contrast to the two, the suffering villagers subconsciously leaned towards Liu Mingyue and looked at the 'noble man' in front of them with some fear.
In the impression of the villagers, noble people generally like to put on airs, have a noble status, and are cheered by everyone. The most disdainful thing is them, the peasants in the countryside who face the loess and back to the sky.
But Miss Liu is different.
Regardless of her status or putting on airs, Miss Liu helped them personally.
Miss Liu is a good person.
