People of the Xu family are stupid, rich in money, and generous.
Over the years, the old lady has saved more than 50,000 taels.
But when Mr. Pei went shopping, he was caught by Mr. Xu in public.
In order to make up for the dowry, the old lady paid back 30,000 yuan in one go.
There are still 20,000 yuan. When the Xu family and Li moved the Hou Mansion into an empty shell, she spent another 20,000 yuan to repair the Hou Mansion.
Even so, the Hou Mansion seems extremely...
Well, poor people's style.
After all, Xu spent 20,000 yuan per screen.
But now, the entire mansion only costs 20,000 yuan in total.
Seriously, the family has nothing but four walls.
There is a saying that Xu's ability to make money is really rare. If it were a man, I'm afraid even the imperial merchants would be able to compete.
But, she doesnât like it either.
Itâs hard for an old lady to switch from extravagance to frugality. She couldnât finish the abalone and birdâs nests back then, but nowâ¦
Only suitable for eating vermicelli.
"Mom, three hundred and two is a bit too little..." Mrs. Pei held the banknote in her hand and looked at the old lady.
The old lady was so angry that she stood up: "I really owe you!"
She has more than 6,000 taels left, and that is her coffin book!
After living a good life with Xu for eighteen years, she has never had such an embarrassing life.
Pei's family has been in the family for a year and has repeatedly cut down on food and clothing in the mansion. The maids complained, so why not her?
Mr. Xu attaches great importance to food and clothing. The shopkeeper personally comes to make clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Tou Mian is not stingy about buying, buying, buying.
Where is Mr. Pei? Just donât mention it.
âGive me another two hundred taels!â the old lady said bitterly.
Pei held the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hands. Seeing the boredom in the old lady's eyes, she bit her lower lip slightly.
âMom, our family has been having a hard time recently. Jiaojiao would like to pay her respects...â
"Look, since the Marquis reconciled with Li, he has been reprimanded and demoted by His Majesty."
âBrother Huai was assigned to the rank of Shi in the rural examination and suffered a serious illness. He successfully solved the problem of Yuan Dynasty and became a scholar of Lu Yanshu.â
"This one, one by one, don't you think so?" Pei's tone was soft and reasonable, which actually made the old lady calm down.
The old lady's expression moved slightly.
Lu Jingyao suddenly said: "All our family's luck seems to have gone to Lu Chaochao."
âShe collects national debt and becomes Princess Zhaoyangâ¦â
âOur family is getting more and more unlucky.â Lu Jingyao muttered casually.
The old ladyâs eyes suddenly changed.
Mrs. Pei glanced at the old lady and saw her daughter shaking her head slightly, so she shut up.
âI heard that some people can breathe in luck...â Lu Jingyao said thoughtfully.
âNo wonder this year has been so rough!â
âThis **** girl should have been drowned in the first place!â There was a hint of cruelty in the old ladyâs eyes.
âNow that she is being protected by Mrs. Xu, what else can we do?â the old lady yelled angrily, wishing that Lu Chaochao had not been eliminated in the first place.
âMy granddaughter heard that oneâs birth date can lend oneâs life. It would be great if she could lend her life.â Lu Jingyao said casually.
The old ladyâs brows twitched slightly.
The old lady kept this in mind and stopped talking.
After the old lady left, Mrs. Pei hugged Lu Jingyao sadly.
Incense was lit everywhere in the house, but it seemed like it couldn't cover up the smell.
âMom, Yaoyao is so unwilling!â
"You have wronged my Yaoyao, don't worry, my mother will avenge you. I think she can borrow her life for a few days!" Mrs. Pei held the five hundred taels.
âMom, go to Zhuque Street and take a look.â
Mrs. Pei was stunned: "Zhuque Street? The people living there are all the criminals of the former dynasty."
Even the Xue family of the former royal family lived here.
After the former emperor overthrew the previous dynasty, in order to show his benevolence and righteousness, he did not exterminate the royal family.
Because of this move, he won over many former court officials and continued to serve Beizhao.
But the emperor never stopped monitoring Zhuque Street. After all, the emperor didnât know how many people there were in the court who cared about the previous dynasty.
âThe Xue family still wants to overthrow Beizhao.â
âBut the only royal bloodline is dyingâ¦â
Peiâs eyes lit up.
Lu Chaochao is Princess Zhaoyang and a close confidant of the emperor.
The Xue family of the former royal family must have hated it to the extreme.
If we can lend Lu Chaochao's life to extend the life of the Xue family, I'm afraid the Xue family will have no scruples!
At dawn, Ms. Pei sent her concubine out of the house quietly.
Send it ten miles outside the city.
âYou should be ordained and become a monk. I will take you back to my hometown in three days.â
âLiving in the Marquis Mansion as an eminent monk.â
The man left happily immediately.
Mr. Pei returned to the city and took an excuse to wander around Zhuque Street.
She has never been in contact with the Xue family, and she doesnât want to die yet.
It was only vaguely revealed that Princess Zhaoyang had a strong character and strong luck. No wonder His Majesty accepted her as his adopted daughter.
Aroused the interest of the Xue family.
"Be sure not to lose the horoscope of Chao Chao, or someone may take advantage of it for your own good fortune." Mrs. Pei looked at the maid, who hid the white paper in her purse.
The two of them walked around the city again before Shi Shiran returned home.
As soon as you enter the gate of the Marquis Mansion.
âDo you still have the paper to write the eight characters on?â she asked.
The maid touched her purse, and sure enough, it was empty.
Mrs. Pei smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. She touched some pieces of silver and gave them to the maid. The maid thanked her with a smile.
At this moment, the emperor was also worried about the Xue family.
"Sacrifice? How can the Xue family have the dignity to ask for sacrifice?"
"If the late emperor hadn't been so soft-hearted, he should have dug up the tomb of the previous dynasty!" Emperor Xuanping threw the paper away impatiently.
âI must keep it to show the emperorâs favor. Now, leave the mess to me!â
"The ministers in the court are loyal to me on the surface, but secretly they are also paying attention to the previous court! Now, it is difficult for me to take action!" The emperor's eyes showed a fierce look.
The prince looked through the memorial: "So many courtiers agreed to the Xue family's sacrifice?"
The Xue familyâs imperial mausoleum is still there. If the Xue family wants to offer sacrifices, they naturally need Emperor Xuanpingâs consent.
"I guess it is the last bloodline of the Xue family that has died. I want to sacrifice the Xue family's imperial mausoleum and leave the last trace of bloodline." The emperor said calmly, with anger surging in his eyes.
âIf we can completely stop thinking about the previous dynasty, we will be completely safe.â The emperor tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
"I heard that the last bloodline of the Xue family is seriously ill. How great would it be if we could just..." cut off the bloodline?
"Your Majesty, the spies have just sent news. The Xue family seems to want to lend their lives... to extend the life of Xue Huang." Yes, they secretly named Xue Huang, which is pronounced Xue Huang!
Sima Zhaoâs mentality is well known to everyone.
âBorrow me your life?â The emperor was stunned.
"Yes, they have found...a man with extraordinary luck and profound blessings to borrow his life." The great **** lowered his head, fearing that His Majesty would be angry.
âHe even claimed that if he succeeds in borrowing his life, he can even regain the former dynasty.â The great **** closed his eyes, fearing that the emperorâs tea cup would throw him in the face.
âWhose life can you borrow to overthrow Beizhao?â The emperor laughed angrily.
âPrincess Zhaoyang.â
The smile on the emperor's face slowly faltered? !
âWho are you talking about! Whose life do they want to borrow?!â The emperor gritted his teeth.
Damn it, borrowing my life from my thigh? ?
The prince smiled with his eyebrows arched.
âGreat joy, great joy!â
âIf you feel sleepy, give me a pillow!â
âFather, please give me a good thigh.â The prince looked at him sourly.
âYour heart ailment will be cured immediately!â
Even, it can prevent future troubles!
How can a mortal borrow Lu Chaochao's life? !
