Chapter 88: The wonderful drama related to the Earl's Mansion
There is a lot of gossip in the capital every day.
The latest news is:
The emperor has newly appointed a village chief. I heard that she was born a peasant girl and a member of a merchant family. No one knows what kind of luck she had, but she suddenly rose to such a high position.
The common people talked about this matter with great pleasure, but the powerful and influential people didn't care at all.
In a place like the capital, where the powerful and wealthy are everywhere and there are a lot of prominent people, a mere village lady with a humble background, no matter how she obtained the title, is not worth mentioning.
After all, there are so many princesses and princesses in the capital, and there are also quite a few princesses and county ladies.
Because of this, Shi Lidie's existence was like a stone thrown into the calm sea, causing only slight ripples but no longer causing any waves.
No one cared where she lived or what she did.
Therefore, in the first few days, Shi Lidie was very calm and peaceful, and with the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she cleaned up her own village lord's mansion. Everything in the house was in perfect condition and it was ready for living.
Shi Lidie did not forget to make wine for His Majesty, so as soon as she settled down, she bought the tools and raw materials for making wine and started working.
But she overlooked one thing:
The prices in the capital are ridiculously expensive, at least seven times higher than those in Luoyun Town.
She was considered very wealthy in Luoyun Town, but her money was obviously not enough in the capital. Even for buying raw materials, it was visibly reduced.
But it doesn’t matter, you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb.
After she brews the wine and presents it to His Majesty, and the reputation spreads, she will take the opportunity to open a tavern. Then more people will come to visit, especially the princes and nobles, who will definitely buy wine in order to follow in His Majesty's footsteps.
When the time comes, she will increase the price ten or a hundred times, because these noble families are rich anyway.
It would be a waste if you don't slaughter a fat sheep.
After making up her mind, Shi Lidie devoted herself more actively to her wine-making business.
It was not until two days later that Chen Shuting arrived in a hurry.
When the servant arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to inform them with the visiting card according to the procedure, Shi Lidie was a little slow to react:
"Who are you talking about? The eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites's family?"
Isn’t this Chen Shuting?
"Quick, invite the person in, take him to the flower hall, and serve tea." She ordered quickly.
As the servant left, Shi Lidie quickly took off her apron and ran to the flower hall in a hurry.
Chen Shuting was very happy to see Shi Lidie approaching from afar. At first, she excitedly went to meet her, but when she really got in front of Shi Lidie, she pouted and her face fell:
"Humph, the Yun'an Township Master is so arrogant now!"
When Shi Lidie heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She realized where the problem was and quickly comforted him:
"Oh, Shu Ting, my dear Shu Ting, although I have come to the capital, I am very busy and I don't have time to look for you. Please don't be angry with me. At most, I can make you a set of clothes when the time comes, okay?"
Shi Lidie pulled Chen Shuting's sleeve, gently tugging at her, acting coquettishly.
Chen Shuting lost her temper all of a sudden and said with a bad smile:
"Okay, I was just teasing you, but you are such a fool. No matter how busy you are, you should send a servant to the Chen Mansion to inform me instead of making me wait."
"My uncle wrote back from Luoyun Town earlier, saying that you had arrived in the capital. I was looking forward to it, always wondering when you would come to see me. Who knew that you would quietly become the village chief without telling me!"
"If I hadn't gone out for a party today and heard about you from someone else, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Although the two hadn't seen each other for a while, neither of them was the kind of person who was pretentious or awkward, and there was no strangeness or awkwardness at all, and they quickly started a conversation.
Shi Lidie explained to Chen Shuting:
"I'm not used to ordering servants around, nor am I used to the rules of the capital. I'll get used to it slowly in the future."
"Besides, I've been busy with something important lately. I'm brewing wine for the emperor, so I can't afford to be careless. The wine I brew for the emperor must be the best."
Chen Shuting also understood Shi Lidie's busyness, so she asked:
"So are you free to sit down and talk to me now?"
"This amount of time is no problem." Shi Lidie smiled.
Seeing this, Chen Shuting felt relieved, and a guilty expression appeared on her face. She said:
"By the way, I still want to apologize to you."
"Why are you apologizing for no reason?" Shi Lidie was confused.
So, I listened to Chen Shuting telling a story about a "wonderful drama" that happened not long ago and was related to the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
Chen Shuting had said before in Luoyun Town that she would be able to return to Beijing in time to attend the birthday party of the old lady in the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion by wearing the clothes made of cloud-patterned brocade.
It happened at this birthday party.
The old lady Zhuang of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery celebrated her sixtieth birthday this year. The family decided to hold a grand celebration and invited many prominent families in the capital. The scene was extremely lively.
But unexpectedly, an extremely embarrassing thing happened—
Aunt Mei, the concubine of the Earl of Zhongyong, took advantage of the chaos and secretly brought the adulterer into the mansion. They had sex in a side courtyard, and they were so drunk that they lost track of the world.
This matter was discovered by another concubine, namely Concubine Tan.
Aunt Tan and Aunt Mei had been competing for favor for many years. Now that this had happened, it was a good opportunity to pull Aunt Mei down. She immediately screamed and made a big deal out of it.
When people nearby heard the noise and rushed over, almost everyone saw Aunt Mei and a strange man in bed.
Her red mandarin duck bellyband was still hanging on the adulterer's waist.
It was supposed to be a happy day at the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but something like this happened, and Fang Zhenghua was so angry that he arrested both concubines.
He hated Aunt Mei for cheating on him, and hated Aunt Tan for not distinguishing the seriousness of the matter, disturbing the guests and making him lose face. In his opinion, both of them were extremely evil and intolerable.
The two concubines knew they could not escape death, so they simply threw in the towel and, in front of all the guests, began to spread the dirty laundry of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
One said that the inner house of Earl Zhongyong was in chaos, and Fang Zhenghua favored his concubine and killed his wife, so he deserved it.
Another said that Fang Zhenghua’s wife was a vicious woman who had performed abortions on several of her concubines when they were pregnant.
One said that the old lady of the Fang family looked kind but had a bitter heart, and she had many ways of torturing people.
Another said that what Fang Zhenghua deserved most in his life was to raise someone else's child.
……
Anyway, more and more things were revealed, and somehow, they started to expose each other's shortcomings, and then the life experience of Fang Ruoruo, the daughter of the Earl's Mansion, was made public, saying that she was just a fake daughter who had usurped the throne.
There was a concubine whose child was killed by her mistress. In order to take revenge, she deliberately abandoned the mistress's child, and picked up an abandoned baby from the roadside, pretending to be a lady of the Earl's Mansion in order to confuse the bloodline of the Earl's Mansion.
This incident caused an uproar in the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion.
How could he allow his own bloodline to wander outside and he was raising a girl of unknown origin?
Find! You must find! At all costs, find the real daughter who is stranded outside!
At this time, Chen Shuting saw Mrs. Fang who came hurriedly, and found that she looked 50% similar to Shi Lidie from Luoyun Town.
