Even though she thought that the Jiang family would soar to great heights, Mrs. Jiang did not immediately agree, “If I send someone forward to ask for it back in such a hasty manner, it will certainly arouse the in-laws’ suspicion, so I’d better make a trip myself.”
The Marquess of An Guo naturally agreed and did not sit for long, rising, “Then I will wait for my sister’s good news at the residence.”
Mrs Jiang sent the people away, went back to the house to change her clothes, had three bars of soap wrapped up, and went to the Household Minister’s residence.
The wife of the Minister of Household had just returned from the palace and was puzzled to hear that her in-laws had arrived. The family’s in-laws came over for the holidays. Is it possible that something has happened at the house? She was about to ask someone to inquire at her daughter-in-law’s house when she heard the report that they were here to see her.
She went out quickly to welcome her in and saw that Madam Jiang’s eyes were still red, so she knew that she had just returned from the palace, but she had come in such a hurry.
The two families have been on good terms since they became in-laws, and Mrs. Jiang didn’t beat around the bush with her, telling her to dismiss the servants in the house and tell her that the Marquess of An Guo had come to the house asking for soap.
After Wen Zhong’s death, the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs wanted her second daughter to come back to live in the house with her two children, but her second daughter said nothing and moved to a different mansion with her two children. She felt saddened every time she went over there, and kept this account in her heart for the Xu family.
Xu Qingwan is not dead, so why can’t the Xu family let Wen Zhong go?
Now that she had this opportunity, she couldn’t let it go, and took the soap that Mrs. Jiang brought, “You go tell Marquess An Guo that I should return the soap, and that Mrs. Xu Yan should come and ask for it herself.”
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
The company’s main goal was to get the company to return the soap to the market.
The Minister of Household is in charge of the country’s money and grain, and neither the First Prince nor the Second Prince dares to offend, so naturally, the Marquess of An Guo does not dare to complain that the Minister of Household did not sell her this favor.
After sending the people away, she went to the Grand Prince Consort’s courtyard.
When she heard that the soap was in the household of the Minister of Household Affairs, the Grand Imperial Concubine knew that the matter would be difficult, and now it was. But the Xu family had only begged the Grand Prince for such a thing, and if the Grand Prince could not do it properly, perhaps the Xu family would turn to the Second Prince, and it would be difficult for the Grand Prince to be made Crown Prince.
“I will think of another way, mother will go to the Liu family again, this time we have to get the soap back no matter what.”
……
Although Liu Lin is only a commander, but the feathered forest army guards the security of the capital, and Liu Lin’s position is naturally pivotal, so there are many people who are bending over backwards to the Liu family.
The first daughter of the Marquis of An Guo is also the concubine of the Grand Prince, so Mrs. Liu naturally does not dare to take a stand.
“Which fragrant breeze has blown you here, please come to the house quickly.”
She welcomed her into the house with a smile on her face and ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks, very attentive.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Marquess of An Guo told her the purpose of her visit.
The woman’s heart was racing when she heard that she had come to ask for soap for the Xu family, but she said with a smile on her face, “You’re late, the soap has already been used by my master.”
The Marquess of An Guo’s smile was slightly paused.
“However, only one piece has been used, there is another piece that is not used, I will have someone bring it to you.”
After saying that, she really ordered someone to go get it.
The maid quickly brought it.
The Marquess of An Guo couldn’t say that she should give the used piece to her as well, so she could only take a piece back.
As soon as they left, Madam Liu immediately sent someone to call Commander Liu back.
After listening to her, Commander Liu stared at the soap for a long time and then ordered, “Prepare water, I’ll take a bath.”
“Master ……”
He was able to sit in the position of commander of the feather forest army because of the promotion of Lady Shufei and the third prince, although he knew the purpose of Lady Shufei and the third prince was to let him help the third prince when he was fighting for the crown prince, now that Lady Shufei and the third prince were dead and the Wu family had fallen, it was possible that he would soon be pulled down from this position, this matter was just a chance to turn around The matter is a turning point, and he has to make the most of it.
……
Song Wan Yue and Song Yin came out of the mansion and returned to the Ding Guo Gong Mansion, the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs were waiting, “Miss Song, the three day deadline has arrived, we are here to collect the silver.”
When she first asked the Third Prince to pay one million taels in compensation, she was given a three-day deadline, and the Emperor had given her three days this time as well.
“Wait a moment, both of you, I’ll go and bring it here.”
Song Wan Yue turned to go get it, but was held down by Song Yin who sat down on a chair and had someone bring up tea and put it in her hand, “Sit and rest, I’ll go get it.”
Showing affection in front of them?
The officials of the Household Ministry didn’t have eyes to see.
Song Yin ignored them and strided out of the flower hall.
Song Wan Yue held her tea, sipping it in small sips, and ignored them as well.
The two officials were uncomfortable in their hearts.
In the past, when Song Si was the Minister of Household Affairs, they were very attentive to him every day, but now that Song Si had been dismissed from his post, he was a commoner, and Song Wangyue was naturally nothing more than that.
One of them coughed and put up a good front, but he asked, as if concerned, “How is Song Si?”
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows.
The officer who had spoken met her, and she sheepishly avoided it.
The corners of Song Wan Yue’s mouth lightly curled, “He has been unconscious.”
“What a pity.”
Another official picked up the conversation.
“What a pity, if he wakes up and learns that he’s just an official, he won’t know how sad he’ll be, he might as well just stay unconscious.”
“Yes, yes, that’s good, that way he won’t know anything.”
……
The two men sang in unison.
Song Wangyue put the tealight in her hand on the table with force, and the crisp clanging sound made the two stop talking.
“Sorry, my hand slipped.”
The two men, ……
looked at each other and didn’t dare to speak again.
Song Yin carried a pile of silver tickets in, without even a box, and put them directly in front of the two.
The two men once again,……
“The two of you point it out.”
There are a thousand taels a piece, a hundred taels a piece, and fifty taels a piece, the two people have counted for a little more than half an hour to count, their faces are tired and green, no longer have the temper just now.
“This, so many, can we have a few boxes?”
They carried them out, in case they lost one halfway through the journey and had to replace it themselves.
“Sorry, the emperor only said that I would be fined 300,000 taels, he didn’t say that I should also prepare boxes, so if you two can’t carry them, you might as well take off your clothes and wrap them.”
They were wearing official clothes, how many heads would they dare to use to wrap the silver cheque?
“Song Wangyue, you are deceiving people too much!”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I am an ordinary citizen, how dare I bully an official of the court, I haven’t earned 300,000 taels in the past few years, I have emptied my family’s money to come up with these, I really can’t afford to buy the box, I can only make you two work hard.”
