Chapter 1005 is not good
In the evening, after a tiring day, Xia Zihan finally sent away the tribesmen who came to pay homage to Mrs. Chu every day.
In front of the mourning hall, only the people from the first and second rooms of the Chu family were left.
Seeing no one else around, Mr. Chu waved his hand and told her and Mrs. Zhuo, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have also been tired for a day. Go back and rest. I will leave the matter of kneeling vigil to Jingwu Jingwen and his brothers and sisters."
Not wanting his precious grandson and daughter-in-law to kneel in mourning for his step-in-law, Mr. Chu always found various excuses to send away the people in the first room, leaving only the people in the second room to kneel and cry in front of Mrs. Chu’s mourning hall. Vigil.
"Grandpa, you are not young anymore. You need to rest more. Don't let your grandmother's funeral make you tired all the time." Xia Zihan said worriedly when she saw his tired face.
A warm current passed through Old Mrs. Chu's heart, and he looked at Xia Zihan lovingly, "Don't worry, my grandfather's body and bones are well known. It's fine."
Seeing that his energy level was getting stronger in an instant, Xia Zihan did not persuade him to go back to his room to rest. She said, "Grandpa, let's go and rest first. I have already informed the kitchen to make a pot of old stew for you." Chicken soup also contains wild ginseng. You’ll want to eat more later.”
"Well, grandpa knows." Mr. Chu said kindly and with happiness in his eyes, "You should go back to Yuqiong Garden quickly. Those two brats might make a fuss if they haven't seen you for a day."< br>
He has a filial daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law who care about him. His son and eldest grandson are both good and promising. His two grandsons have also practiced martial arts well and will surely be able to stand alone in the future. His grandson-in-law has given him two little great-grandsons, and they will do so in the future. More...
Old Mrs. Chu was filled with joy when he thought that there were more and more direct male heirs in the Chu family.
If the Chu family has many branches and luxuriant leaves, it will prosper for a long time in the future.
In this way, after his death, he would have the honor to meet the ancestors of the Chu family.
Xia Zihan had just returned to Yuqiong Garden when Chu Qiao came to report, "Master, Crown Prince Rong is here again and asks to see the master."
Xia Zihan had just sat down when two little buns crawled into her arms, one holding her with one arm and refusing to let go.
Xia Zihan was reluctant to separate his two precious sons, so he ordered Chu Qiao, "Let Chu Cong bring the package of medicinal materials I prepared to go to see him, and tell Chu Cong that if Rong San didn't bring the banknote, then let him He writes IOUs.”
"I understand, master. How much money do you plan to sell the medicinal materials for?" Chu Qiao asked for Chu Cong.
Xia Zihan stretched out two fingers and said, "Two thousand taels of silver, a penny is quite a lot."
The prices she quoted were all market prices, and she didn't charge Rong San a penny more. If the price was still too expensive for Rong San, forget it.
Two thousand taels of silver bought Princess Rong's life. Based on this price, she was considered cheap.
Chu Qiao took the order and went out.
Chu Qingmeng served dinner, and after Xia Zihan and the two little buns finished eating, Chu Cang came back.
"Master, I got the banknotes back." Chu Cong took out four banknotes from his arms and handed them to Xia Zihan. They were all in denominations of 500 taels of silver each.
She said, "Prince Rong only brought one thousand taels of silver notes with him, and the servant asked him to write an IOU for the remaining one thousand taels. However, Crown Prince Rong asked the servant to follow him to Prince Rong's mansion to get it, saying that he had never owed anyone any money, and even more Without writing an IOU, this precedent cannot be set.”
"Tch, why don't you owe money to someone? Last year, his wife wanted to get credit from the master." Chu Qing curled her lips with a sarcastic look on her face.
Xia Zihan said, "Prince Rong is different from Concubine Rong. He is the eldest son of the Rong family. From now on, everything in Prince Rong's Mansion will belong to him. He can spend any money from Prince Rong's Mansion, so he will never Even if I am short of money, I never owe anyone money.”
"Concubine Rong Shizi is a woman. In addition to the monthly income, the woman's dowry can only be used by her husband's family. The former concubine Rong Shizi's illness cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to cure, and she couldn't afford it. This amount of money can make the palace She didn't want to pay the money, so she thought of taking it on credit. She probably wanted to pay it back after she became the princess of Prince Rong's palace. "But she didn't expect that she would be taken away by Rong before her illness was cured. Three days later, Hugh went home.
This is also a matter of fate.
"Fortunately, the master did not promise the former Crown Princess to give her money on credit. Otherwise, at this time, the master would ask who wants money." Chu Qing said.
Xia Zihan also agrees with this statement.
After she stuffed the two thousand taels of silver notes into the bottom of her jewelry box, after a tiring day, she put the two bags of silver coins to bed, washed herself, and went to bed early.
Three days later, Princess Rong's condition improved greatly and she could sit up and eat by herself. Both Rong San and Rong Wu were very happy.
Especially Rong San, he has been visiting Princess Rong several times every day in the past few days. Seeing that her complexion is getting better day by day, his gratitude to Xia Zihan is also getting deeper day by day.
However, Prince Rong did not return home for the past three days. He was left in the palace by the emperor, saying that he was accompanying the Heavenly Master, but no one knew what the specific matter was.
Rong San felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything wrong.
He sent people to inquire about the situation, but those who came back shook their heads and said that they could not find out. At this time, Rong San became anxious about Prince Rong.
Rong San handed over the sign and wanted to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother rejected it, saying that the eldest prince had been ill in the past few days, and the emperor was also feeling unwell. Doctor Bai was treating the emperor and his son in the palace, and the queen mother The queen has no time to see him.
Rong San had no choice but to go to the homes of several familiar ministers to inquire about his father.
But those ministers all said that they had not seen Prince Rong in the past few days. Even in the morning, Prince Rong did not appear.
Only then did Rong San realize that something big seemed to be happening in Prince Rong's mansion.
A servant who was following Prince Rong reported to him, "Your Majesty, two important prisoners were lost in the sky jail a few days ago. The emperor has ordered the four gates of the capital to be strictly guarded against searches. Prince Rong will be there the next day." Left behind by the emperor.”
Rong San's sharp eyes shot towards the young man, "You mean, the prince is related to the prison robbery?"
"Slave... I'm just making a bold guess." The young man shrank his neck in fright, thinking that the two things were related, but he didn't dare to admit it when he saw Rong San's fierce eyes.
Rong San's face was gloomy and solemn.
His father has always been very cautious in doing things. He could never imagine that his father would abandon the safety of the entire people in Prince Rong's palace and go to rob a prison. He could not imagine that the two prisoners in the prison were with him. What does it have to do with his father?
Rong San couldn't think of a reason, so he ordered the boy, "Go and investigate who the two prisoners who were kidnapped from the sky jail are and what crimes they committed."
The boy said yes and went out.
However, while Rong San was investigating Prince Rong's situation, two more maids died in the back garden of Prince Rong's mansion.
