On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu smiled and called Linlang and Lu Hu to come forward.

"Come on, let's take a sip of tea first and calm down before talking."

You can drink tea, but you can't eat.

After finishing half a cup of tea, Linlang's expression didn't soften much.

Lu Hu was afraid that she would say something unpleasant because of her bad temper, so he took the lead and said, "Miss, what the princess said, Mrs. Su said that the musician in the mansion is sick and cannot come."

Yan Ruyu dismissed this as soon as she heard it, and didn't want to go into details. The musicians belong to others, and it is their right not to borrow them.

"That's all, in that case, we'll look for it again."

Mrs. Song said: "Let Zhong Mao look for him. He walks around outside every day and knows the opera troupe."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Yin Ding and the others can do it too. They go to the bookstore all day long, and their folk arts are also similar."

Everyone knew what was going on, but no one pointed it out. They had all been matrons, so there was no need to point it out.

Princess Mingzhao looked a little embarrassed. Although it was none of her business to be rejected, it was her suggestion after all.

But now when I am rejected, my face always becomes dull.

"Isn't there several musicians in her family?" Princess Mingzhao asked, "You didn't say that I wanted to borrow it? She was so nice when she borrowed herbs before, and she said everything she wanted to say, so how could she borrow one? Isn’t it good for musicians?”

Green Lake groaned, and Linlang couldn't help but said: "At first, I didn't think it was a shirk. Green Lake also asked the same question. The chief musician is sick, so can the others."

"But that woman said that if the princess's palace borrows it, that's all. If the princess borrows it for the Zhennan Prince's Palace, she definitely dare not and cannot borrow it."

The scene fell silent.

Who would normally say it so clearly? To point it out like this is tantamount to provocation.

"I asked her why she didn't dare to do it. She said that the Zhennan Palace is full of exiled prisoners. They are noble families and they don't dare to join the ranks of thieves."

Thief.

These two words made everyone grimace.

The eldest lady sneered: "We are criminals, but we are not thieves. This Mrs. Su, her husband has become a deputy historian, and her temper has become worse."

Ming Zhaojun frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it's not because of Deputy Shi Su."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "How do you say that?"

"Deputy Historian Su is just a Deputy Historian, and his power is only one-third of that of Governor Cao, which is not enough to make her so arrogant. She should be relying on the power of the Qiu family."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "Qiu family? Which Qiu family?"

"It is the Pingyang Qiu family, one of the four great families in this dynasty." Princess Mingzhao said, "The Qiu family is extraordinary. Their family members are all outstanding. Not to mention the court, the Qiu family is also very good at doing business. , many wealthy merchants emerged.”

"The reason why Deputy Shi Su was promoted is because one of his cousins ​​​​married into the Qiu family as a concubine."

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "It turns out to be the Qiu family."

Linlang snorted: "No Qiu family can speak like this and dare to look down on the master!"

Princess Mingzhao whispered: "Although the Qiu family in Youcheng is not too orthodox and can be regarded as a side branch, they have been in Youcheng for many years and have deep roots, and they also occupy an important position in border trade, so..."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "How do they compare to Qiu Boqian?"

"Who?" Princess Mingzhao felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it at the moment.

"Qiu Boqian."

Princess Mingzhao was still thinking when Lu Hu reminded her: "Miss, Qiu Boqian is the talented young master of the Qiu family, and he is as famous as the young master of the Jiang family in Taizhou."

In the past, Princess Mingzhao would just close the door and not care about anything else. Green Lake would remember this for her.

Princess Mingzhao suddenly realized and said with emotion: "Of course it can't be compared. Qiu Boqian is the orthodox eldest son of the eldest family, and I heard that he is the beloved grandson of Mr. Qiu."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "Isn't that okay?"

Princess Mingzhao was puzzled, so the eldest lady handed her a snack and explained with a smile: "Qiu Boqian and the Jiang family brothers and sisters once met us on the road, and Ruyu saved their lives."

"Miss Jiang's family likes Ruyu, and we are sworn to Jinlan. This Mr. Qiu..." The eldest lady smiled deeply, "I'm afraid I can't compare to him. In desperation, he brought his aunt Qiu Shangwei to marry me to Jinlan, so , I am also Qiu Boqian’s aunt.”

Princess Mingzhao was surprised: "Qiu Shangwei? That strange woman from the Qiu family? She later married the wealthy Qian family and became the matron?"

"Exactly, otherwise, why would we only cooperate with the Qian family along the way, including now in Youcheng? Even this house was prepared by the shopkeepers of the Qian family."

Princess Mingzhao was surprised and happy. She pulled Yan Ruyu and admired her sincerely: "Ruyu, you are so awesome! Everyone likes you, how did you do it?"

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This question was not easy to answer.

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Mu Ning, why don't you ask yourself, what do you like about Ruyu?"

Princess Mingzhao was thoughtful.

Mrs. Song snorted: "So, Mrs. Su looks down on us just because her husband's cousin is a concubine from a branch of the Qiu family?"

It's quite convoluted, that's true.

Everyone looked at each other in silence, ate tea and snacks in silence, and felt sorry for Mrs. Su's foot pain - this time she kicked the iron plate.

Yan Ruyu is really dissatisfied. It doesn't matter if he doesn't borrow musicians. The main thing is the word "thief" that Mrs. Su said.

But she won't be angry. To be honest, this little thing for such a villain is not worth wasting her emotions.

The eldest lady suddenly said: "Come, come and get the list of gifts for the Chinese New Year."

Someone went to get it, and Yan Ruyu asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered something. I'll check it out later."

Linlang hummed: "Master, after Green Lake pulled me away, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I wanted to go back and teach her a lesson. As soon as I walked to the door of the yard, I heard the woman talking."

"She said, what kind of palace is this? It's just a small shabby house now. Why do you have the nerve to call it a palace? I've already told them that they can't reach us long ago, but they still come to borrow musicians and invite people from the princess's palace to come with them. It’s so shameless.”

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, and Princess Mingzhao was also angry: "How dare she say that!"

Green Lake nodded.

I originally wanted to say it privately to make the masters less angry - but Linlang just said it. Anyway, he didn't wrong Mrs. Su.

Yan Ruyu suppressed her smile, and there was a chill in her eyes.

Princess Mingzhao suddenly stood up: "I'll go find her!"

"There's no rush," Yan Ruyu said, "Princess, don't be in a hurry, don't get yourself hurt by this kind of popularity, it's not worth it."

"But……"

While talking, the maid brought over the gift list. It was not only sent by the eldest lady, but also sent back by others.

The eldest lady put the two lists together and gave a short laugh.

Everyone looked over, and the eldest lady said coldly: "I was too busy during the New Year celebrations, so I thought I had a gift card, so I didn't take a closer look."

"No wonder they said they gave us a hint. It's my fault that I didn't read the gift list and didn't pay attention at all."

Everyone came over and suddenly discovered that the gift list sent to the Su family was exactly the same as the return gift received from the Su family.

This is not a return gift, this is being returned.
