Chapter 504 Four Imperial Concubines
Lu Heiwang couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly escaped from the house.
By the time the two women finished fighting, the house was already torn apart.
Mrs. Lu Cao cried loudly, but did not dare to go back to her parents' home, for fear that when she returned from her parents' home, the house would have been ransacked by Lu Sanhong.
However, Hua Tao Niang thought she was annoying, so she packed her bags and came out and said to Lu Sanhong: "Mom, let's go to the county town."
"Going to the county seat?" Lu Sanhong was shocked. Are you leaving now? What should we do about what Master Shi told us?
But Hua Tao Niang had already called to Huadong and left.
"You damn girl, wait a minute!" Lu Sanhong was afraid that something might happen to this 'money tree', so she hurriedly followed, hired a car, and headed to the county seat.
We rushed into the county town in front of Guancheng Gate and went to stay in an inn.
The accommodation money was paid by Hua Tao Niang... and the money was given by Master Shi. This was the reason why she dared to leave with her baggage and ask her mother and uncle to do things for her.
In the inn room, Lu Sanhong asked Hua Tao Niang: "You really don't want to go back to your uncle's house?"
"How is that possible?" Hua Tao Niang said: "Stay in the county for a few days. When you go back, bring something to your aunt so that she won't make trouble."
Hua Tao Niang will come to the county town, firstly, to facilitate contact with Master Shi.
The second is to give Lu Cao family power and let her uncle know that after she meets a noble person, she is already a person who can come to the county town to spend money at any time.
"Uncle is greedy for money. When we go back, he will support us even more."
"Hey, Tao Niang is still smart." Lu Sanhong said tentatively: "Then when are we going to pay respects to Master Shi?"
Hua Tao Niang wanted to give her mother a look, but she was also anxious to see Master Shi, so she said: "I will contact Master Shi tomorrow."
The next day, Hua Tao Niang left the inn and went to a carriage shop.
Lu Sanhong followed secretly with her son, secretly remembering this store.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Hua Tao Niang came out of the backyard of the carriage shop and hurriedly took her son to take a small path and ran back to the inn.
Two days later, a letter arrived from the carriage shop.
Hua Tao Niang grabbed the messenger boy and asked urgently: "Where is Mr. Shi? Why didn't you come?"
The guy almost laughed out loud: "It didn't work out. Do you still want to see Mr. Shi?"
This idiot doesn't really think he has met a noble person, does he?
What Shi Ye?
He couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Hua Tao Niang refused to give up: "You send a message to Master Shi. I want to see Master Shi and talk about the Qin family's affairs face to face!"
The clerk frowned and finally said: "Okay, I will send you a message."
After hearing this, Hua Tao Niang stuffed him with two coins and smiled coquettishly: "Thank you, brother."
The guy was seduced, but thinking that this girl had not yet passed Master Shi's hands, he held back.
After the clerk left, Hua Tao Niang opened the letter and looked at it carefully. However, she didn't know much about literacy and couldn't understand 30% of the words. She could only guess a rough meaning.
Master Shi was not satisfied and scolded her.
Hua Tao Niang is resentful in her heart...Old man, it's not the Qin family who is wary of you, but you have no choice but to beg me to get close to the Qin family!
After waiting for another two days, the so-called Master Shi arrived late.
He came at night, booked a room in the inn, and asked Hua Tao Niang to meet him alone.
"Master Shi, you are finally here. The slave family thought you had abandoned the slave family." Hua Tao Niang's eyes were filled with tears and her tone was soft. She made it clear that she wanted to pester him and make him willingly take her to the capital to live a good life.
Mr. Shi said with a sullen face: "If you don't do your job well, I should abandon you."
"Master Shi, I know I'm wrong. Please don't abandon my family." Hua Tao Niang knelt down and hugged Master Shi's feet.
this?
It was so bold that Mr. Shi was shocked.
But Hua Tao Niang doesn't care... Her goal is very clear, that is, to be a member of the capital, and she is happy to go to the capital no matter what her identity is.
She was really fed up with the dirt in the countryside. She struggled with the land every day, and even by the end of the year, she couldn't buy a good piece of cloth. There are also those village women who are all sallow and thin, and cannot eat a meaty meal for a month.
The days are here, and she can't survive it, so even if she is to be a concubine or a slave, she has to leave the country and run to the capital!
"Master Shi..." Hua Tao Niang was an activist and started to tug at the waistband of Master Shi's pants.
"..." Mr. Shi was so shocked that he pushed her away: "You are a girl from a good family, please be more serious!"
"Yes." Hua Tao Niang knelt down and said obediently: "The slave family is stupid, please ask Mr. Shi to teach the slave family."
Mr. Shi didn't want to find another new person, but wanted to continue using her, saying: "Qin Ying is engaged, so you have no chance. Qin Jie, Xu Sanjun, Qiao Songguo, you have to win one of these three."
She must marry the mud-legged man!
Hua Tao Niang was dissatisfied, and her eyes showed.
"What, you're not willing yet?" Mr. Shi scolded: "I tell you, given your family's conditions, you will be lucky if you can marry one of them. They have workshops that share profits, you know How much is that? ”
Hua Tao Niang: "..." No matter how much money you have, can you compare with the noble master behind you, Mr. Shi?
Master Shi was afraid that she would do something bad, and warned: "Use normal methods to contact the Qin family, and do not use violent methods, as you will offend the Qin family."
"Why can't you use fierce means?" Hua Tao Niang puzzled, you were not good at the Qin family.
"This is the master's order. Just obey it. It's your turn to ask why?!" Mr. Shi regretted a little. Madam Hua Tao looked smart and had a suitable status, but she was too ambitious. She only wanted to reach the sky in one step and looked down on the Qin family at all. .
"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, our relationship will end here. I will find someone else." Mr. Shi was too lazy to argue with her and directly issued an ultimatum.
Hua Tao Niang was afraid and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will definitely contact Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao's family with sincerity. Please rest assured, Lord Shi."
Seeing that her attitude was correct, Mr. Shi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."
Master Shi didn't stay long. After giving her five taels of silver as the 'principal', he left under the cover of night.
As soon as Hua Tao Niang returned to the house, Lu Sanhong grabbed her and asked: "How about it, have you captured Master Shi? Has Master Shi revealed who the master behind him is?"
Master Shi is nothing, the mother and daughter want to fawn over is Master Shi’s master!
Hua Tao Niang shook her head: "No, that old man was very slippery and didn't reveal a word... But don't worry, mom, after a few more contacts, my daughter will definitely be able to capture him and find out who his master is?"
"This is the only way." Lu Sanhong reminded her daughter again: "Tao Niang, where is Mr. Shi? If you can't help it, you won't give it. It's best to give it to his master... After thinking about it, my mother thought that Mr. Shi's master would be afraid. They are one of the Qin family's major merchants. Those merchants are rich, especially Wen Jin Jie Kang, who is a wealthy family."
Hua Tao Niang also guessed that the master behind Mr. Shi was one of Wen Jin Jie Kang's families.
She nodded: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will definitely fawn over the best one."
"Hey, she is indeed your mother's good daughter, she is promising!"
The next day, Lu Sanhong, mother and daughter returned to Lujia Village and brought back a lot of things, so Lu Cao didn't drive them away.
The head of the Lu family and the Xue Dong family both informed the Qin family that the Lu family, mother and daughter, had been to the county town. It's just a pity that we didn't find out who the mother and daughter were meeting?
Qin Xiaomi was not in a hurry, and continued to ask the two families to keep an eye on Lu Sanhong and her daughter, while he continued to be busy building a large workshop.
……
Beijing, April 22nd, the day Qin Ying and Lu Jiu got engaged, Emperor Wuxing consecrated four noble concubines at the same time.
Zhang Songyu's concubine was named Concubine Yuede.
The girl from the Marquis of Wenchang's family is Concubine Wende.
The daughter of the Xiang family was named Shude Noble Concubine.
There was also a military commander’s daughter who was named Concubine Yongde.
After the four canonization imperial edicts were issued, the capital was in an uproar, thinking that Emperor Wuxing was crazy.
The civil servants copied the ancestral teachings and resorted to deadly remonstrance, asking Emperor Wuxing to reduce the four noble concubines to two.
He also said that he could enthrone an imperial concubine, take over the position of empress, and command the harem... As expected, the civil servant who said this was beheaded outside the Golden Palace.
