Genius Demon Empress Chapter 14: Swan and toad
c_t; Relying on the information of the Eagle Department, the taxation affairs of Fontaine County have been temporarily concluded for a paragraph, and Ji Yun, who is looking for trouble, has no news. I think I have learned a lesson and will be quiet for a while.
The second day after returning to the Ducal Mansion, Yue Jinghua called the old butler Sequoia and asked about the current situation in the Ducal Mansion.
Although it was only one night, Sequoia has already discovered that whether it is his wife Lierou or his daughter Hongling, they now regard Yue Jinghua's words as imperial edicts.
During the absence of the little duke, the affairs of the mansion were naturally handed over to the young lady.
Yue Jinghua checked the debts of the Duke’s Mansion and found that, as Hongling said earlier, the Duke’s Mansion was once rich and comparable to the country, but about six years ago, he gave a large sum of money to the Imperial Ministry. The military salary, about four years ago, after Sir Alex and General Long Ao had a happy drink, they gambled with a group of imperial family ministers and spent all their money, and the Duke's Mansion came to a bankrupt end.
"In this way, the biggest creditor of the Duke’s Mansion today is the General Protector’s Mansion, followed by the richest families in the imperial capital?" Looking at the empty Duke’s mansion, with only houses and walls, Yue Jinghua Knowing that when the Duke's Mansion went bankrupt, those so-called imperial capital families must have sent someone to looting the entire Duke's Mansion.
"In fact, the Duke’s Mansion is not completely devoid of property. The old slave still has one or two shops on hand, but the conditions of those shops are a little special and cannot be leased out. This has made the situation in the Duke’s Mansion never improve. Except for the General Huguo’s Mansion, which has a relationship with us, it has never come to make trouble. For the other houses, the stewards and domestic servants of each family will come to the Duke’s Mansion to make trouble at the end of the previous year. Thanks to the young master’s enthusiasm, rely on Because of his strength, he was selected into the Dragon Knight Reserve Camp. Last year we had a quiet year," Sequoia sighed.
"In-laws?" Yue Jinghua was curious.
"Hua'er, you forgot. In the early years, your eldest brother had married Miss Long Rui, the eldest granddaughter of the General Protector’s Mansion," Lierou reminded softly, and explained to Sequoia. After Beast Mountain was frightened, he forgot something.
Sequoia also knows that Miss and Madam have not had a smooth life outside these years, so he looked at Yue Jinghua distressedly, and he thought about it, "Madam, I shouldn’t have said more about this. , But if the young master is already 19 years old when he is born, he should have married long ago. However, his marriage with Miss Long Rui has been delayed and delayed, I am afraid that it will be bad for the family if it is delayed any longer."
Speaking of this, Lierou also sighed.
Of the several children, Lierou owes Yue Minzhi the most.
Yue Minzhi was a little lord with a prestigious status and status when he was young and had no worries about food and clothing.
The sudden change in the family overnight allowed him to grow up overnight and take on the responsibilities of the entire family.
In the early years, Lie Rou was in Shang country and had no way of intervening in the marriage of her eldest son, but now she returned to the imperial capital. Yue Minzhi was already 19 years old. In the imperial capital, many aristocratic children are already at such an age. The house is full of wives and concubines, but Yue Minzhi is still alone.
How unsatisfied it makes her a mother.
Ke Yue Minzhi’s marriage is indeed a persistent problem.
It should be understood that if the Duke’s Mansion is not in decline, and the eldest granddaughter of the General Protector is a good match, it is the envy of everyone.
But now the Duke’s Mansion has fallen. If you come to ask for a kiss, you will be ridiculed and want to eat swan meat, but if you don’t ask for a kiss, Yue Minzhi has a marriage contract, so it’s not good to go to another home to ask for a kiss.
"Since it’s a dilemma, it’s better to find the General Protector’s Mansion and make it clear as soon as possible. If they are willing to marry, we will dare to marry. If they refuse to marry, we will terminate the contract. Yue Jinghua thought that in the matter of men and women, we should pay attention to you and me.
If the General Guardian Mansion looks down on people, it is better to terminate the contract as soon as possible. Even if the Ducal Mansion has fallen, it is not difficult to find another knowledgeable woman in the imperial capital. Why wronged your brother.
"Miss, you are not in the imperial capital, so I don’t know the reason for it. The General Protector’s Mansion has long wanted to dissolve this marriage, but Miss Long Rui insisted on refusing to terminate the contract. She was very much protected by the veteran general Longao. The General Protector’s Mansion did not propose to terminate the contract.” Sequoia sighed secretly. His own little Lord was born in good looks, and now he has been selected into the Dragon Cavalry Reserve Camp. It is reasonable for Miss Long Rui to fall in love with him.
"What does that big brother mean?" Yue Jinghua was curious about Long Rui's attitude.
She has met Long Jiuzun, and her impression of the Long family is very ordinary. Long Rui is also one of the "official evil generations" in the imperial capital. I don't know how she is, but if her brother likes it, she doesn't reject Long Rui. After all, she still believes in the reads of her brother's vision;
"The young master never mentioned it, but Miss Long Rui joined the Dragon Knight Reserve Camp for the sake of the young master," Sequoia was proud and emotional.
"Miss Long Rui's child is also a solid-eyed," Lie and Long Rui's mother had a good relationship. She also watched Long Rui grow up, knowing that although the child is a little bit arrogant, she is a bit arrogant. It is single-minded.
The training in the reserve camp of the Dragon Cavalry Group is unusually hard, but a beautiful lady like Long Rui went there voluntarily, which shows that she is also a tough-hearted person.
"Unfortunately, the Dragon Knight Reserve Camp is closed training, otherwise I would have to see with my own eyes what kind of person Long Rui is, and whether he is suitable for my sister-in-law," Yue Jinghua laughed.
Never know Lierou coughed and muttered: "Hua'er, you are already seventeen years old when you were born. If you talk about marriage..."
Don’t be afraid of the sky and the earth, just afraid of the beautiful women’s words.
Until Lierou finished speaking, Yue Jinghua jumped up like a fire burned her ass~ IndoMTL.com~ shouted Salman and ran out: "Mother, I'll go to the city first. It's been a long time, I haven't gone to Yunluo yet."
She disappeared as soon as she saw her daughter. Lierou shook her head and laughed, her eyes filled with doting.
Seeing Sequoia on the side, the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Madam, according to the old slave, the change in the young lady has been the biggest in the past few years. After this trip, the young lady seems to have changed herself. The young master will be very happy when we see you," Sequoia looked at The children of the Yue family grew up, and he was very pleased to see Yue Jinghua's transformation.
"Sequoia, Yuenian...is there any news?" Lierou hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Madam," Sequoia was very surprised. It has been a long time since he heard his lady mention Sir Alex. Madame kept silent about Sir Alex's disappearance. She evaded, "No news, old man. Slave also asked someone to find out, but there is still no news."
"Finally, don't look for it anymore," Lierou seemed to have expected this result long ago, but her eyes no longer had the trauma of the past. In the past few years, more than her own children have changed, perhaps unconsciously, Her heart has also changed.
