My wife is frail and sickly

Chapter 56 Let’s trade 1 for [-]

Among the younger generation in Beijing, Prince Yingchuan is neither outstanding, nor can he be considered a dandy. He is just mediocre, with a somewhat introverted personality. He is always the one with the lowest sense of presence when gathering with a group of people.

The only thing that was said about him was that he followed the Crown Prince to the Northwest Army two years ago. In terms of ability, he could not catch the Crown Prince's eye at all. He was pushed in through his father's connections.

The prince was only sixteen years old at that time, but for his literary and military skills, he was highly praised by the emperor and ministers.The Holy One is interested in the military power in the northwest, and the discerning ministers all know that the prince is going to the northwest to take over the military power.The leader of the Northwest Army is the Korean Duke, and the future crown princess is from the Han family and is the granddaughter of the Korean Duke.As the grandson-in-law of the Han family, it is most appropriate for the prince to take over the leadership of the Northwest Army.

The situation at that time was that the Korean prince was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The prince arrived in time. His status as prince and his ability made the soldiers very convinced.

However, the Duke of Korea died of his injuries soon after, and the prince also disappeared during a war half a year later.

The emperor was furious and sent countless people to look for the prince, but they couldn't find him.Another month later, the prince's personal guards brought back the news that the prince was surrounded by enemy troops, was poisoned, and finally fell off the cliff.The cliff is dozens of feet high, and there is no chance of survival if you fall from it.

Also accompanying the bodyguard was the Prince of Yingchuan. He was so hungry before the battle that he did not go into battle with the prince, but he escaped disaster.But as a young man from the capital, how had he ever seen the cruelty of war?After being frightened and scared, and rushing on the road in a hurry, I only had one breath left when I arrived in the capital.

The emperor and the empress lost their beloved prince and were so distraught that they built a tomb for him.However, he did not anger Prince Yingchuan and asked the imperial doctor to treat him.

It took Prince Yingchuan Hou for more than half a year to recover, but he was so frightened that he locked himself in the house and rarely went out.If you meet up with old friends from the past, you can go there once out of five times.He didn't speak when he got there, and was even more taciturn than before.After a while, everyone stopped playing with him, as if they had forgotten that there was such a person in Beijing.

This time he came into everyone's sight again with the news of his death.

Prince Yingchuan died in his study at night. He should have been painting at that time.Killed with one knife, his face was peaceful, and there was no sign of struggle.He collapsed on the table. From the outside, he looked like he was sleeping on the table and taking a nap. The blood stained the drawing paper on the table red.

All the slaves in the whole yard said they didn't hear any sound, which shows how clever the perpetrator's methods were.But who would take such pains to kill such an insignificant person?
As the investigation deepened, the case became more complicated and confusing. Jiang Feng, the commander of the Imperial City Division, couldn't help but wonder, could it be related to the death of the prince?What did Prince Yingchuan accidentally see at that time that led to his being silenced?But why did it take more than a year to silence him?
Shen Xiaolou had dinner at Heguangyuan, one meat and two vegetarian dishes, three dishes.The dishes looked good and tasted good, but Shen Xiaolou was not satisfied with the quantity. She threw her chopsticks on the table and said, "Three dishes, who are you? Have you ever seen a three-legged table? Go ahead and ask for another one." Meat dishes. After all, I am also the Marquis’s biological daughter, and I didn’t even give me enough to eat on the first day when I returned home. It’s just like that in Zhuangzi, but the Marquis’s mansion is actually too poor to have food?”

The servants of Wakoyuan have not yet arrived, and the first-class and second-class maids, Mrs. Lin, have not yet been assigned. The one Shen Xiaolou ordered to carry the meal is a girl from Wakoyuan who is not very clever. I ran to the kitchen to ask for food.

The steward in the kitchen didn't agree, so the girl refused to leave and yelled out what Shen Xiaolou said. The steward's eyelids jumped with such yelling that he quickly served her food and sent her away. Then she went to the main courtyard and The matter was told to the maid next to Lin.

Mrs. Lin originally wanted to have dinner with the whole family in the evening to show off her virtuous and generous nature. But now she has no thoughts at all. She is holding her head and getting angry, "Listen to what she said? She asked for famous calligraphy and painting, coral ornaments, etc. It’s still the same as in Yaya’s house, and her tone is quite loud, where can I get it for her?”

Even if there were, it wouldn't be her turn!Her eldest son is one year younger than her daughter, he is thirteen. He will get married in two or three years. Shouldn't he save good things as betrothal gifts?
Mother Xu actively shared her master's worries and solved them, "Madam, what's the worry? What does a girl who grew up in a village know? I'm afraid she doesn't even know a word, so it would be a waste to give her calligraphy and painting. I want the old slave to tell me that the style looks good. , just send the shiny things over." Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up and said: "Mother Xu has a way, I'll leave this matter to you, pick it up tomorrow and send it over early, so as not to cause trouble to her again. ."

Early the next morning, Mother Xu came with a group of maids. She pointed to the objects they were holding with a smile and said, "Miss, my wife has asked the old slave to bring you something."

Shen Xiaolou glanced over and confirmed again, "Are these objects the same as those in the second sister's house?"

"Nature is the same. Although the styles are different, they are all valuable things. You are the eldest lady in the house, how can I dare to deceive you?" Xu's mother has a good attitude.

Shen Xiaolou was very satisfied and smiled happily, "Okay, let's go in and remember to put something interesting for me." He turned to look at Xu's mother, "Thank you, Madam, for taking the trouble."

"Madam told me last night, for fear of missing the eldest lady. Madam really cares about you." Mother Xu was still smiling, and she didn't look down on Shen Xiaolou at all.

Although these things are bright in color and beautiful in style, in fact they are just fake goods and not worth a lot of money.Look at how happy she is, huh, you have no idea.

Shen Xiaolou is indeed ignorant. How can she, a person in the last days, know anything about calligraphy, painting, and porcelain?I can tell whether the calligraphy is good or not, and whether the painting is good or not, but if it’s not an authentic work, I don’t know.

But what does it matter?
Mother Xu led the people away, then took the calligraphy and painting objects to Shen Qingya's yard. "Second sister, Madam just gave these to me. She said they are very valuable things, and they are as valuable as you." The ones in the house are the same, but I still like the ones in your house better, let’s change them.”

After saying that, she took the lead in picking up calligraphy, paintings, and ornaments.In order to facilitate the dressing up, she specially carried a large box.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Qingya was stunned. It took her a long time to react and hurried to stop her.

Shen Xiaolou smiled at her, "Kong Rong, give me the pear! Second sister, get out of the way. These things are so precious. It would be a pity to break them." As he said this, his hands were not slow at all. Three times, five times and two times, the things in Shen Qingya's house were packed.

"Second sister, I'm leaving, don't give it away." Shen Xiaolou waved to Shen Qingya with a smile while carrying the box, and led the maid away quickly.

Shen Xiaolou doesn't know how to calligraphy, painting and porcelain. Can Shen Qingya, who was taught by Lin's famous teacher, still not understand?Looking at the ransacked room and looking at the worthless goods and fakes, Shen Qingya cried angrily, "It's too much to bully someone! Someone, go get the things back from me!"
