Chapter 181: Honor in troubled times 149
Both the Liu family and the son were so shocked that they almost couldn't stand firm.
Liu Cai asked tremblingly, "What's going on? How did the prince send someone to come... How did the prince know your master and mine?"
The housekeeper was also confused: "Master, I don't understand, please go and have a look."
Liu Cai patted the soil on his body: "Let's go."
From the backyard to the front hall, Liu Cai walked one step and one by one. He was really unsure of what he had done.
He thought, could it be that the prince had asked someone to contact Prince Xin to let the prince know?
The prince and the prince Xin are incompatible?
Anyway, Liu Cai became more and more afraid the more he thought about it.
When he arrived at the front hall, Liu Cai saw a man in his thirties with a beard and seemed to be gentle and gentle sitting there drinking tea slowly.
Liu Cai smiled: "I wonder if this adult is?"
The man stood up and bowed: "I am Zhang He, the chief of the Eastern Palace."
Liu Cai was stunned for a moment.
He thought that the prince sent people here just to send a eunuch or an insignificant person from the Eastern Palace, but he did not expect that the prince sent the chief minister to come directly.
The chief of the Eastern Palace seems to have a small official position, but he is the closest person to the crown prince. He manages all affairs in the Eastern Palace and acts as the prince's think tank. If such a person ascends the throne, he will be directly promoted to heaven and titled marquis and ministers.
But such an important person was sent by the prince. What exactly should the prince do?
Liu Cai really couldn't figure it out, he was so scared.
Zhang He smiled at Liu Cai: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu first. Your niece was attracted by the Empress and was elected as the Crown Princess. Now the imperial edict has been issued. After only six rituals, he will enter the Eastern Palace."
Well?
Liu Cai was shocked: "Zhang, Lord Zhang is really not joking? Is it my niece? Not the big girl of the Lu family?"
No matter how much Liu Cai thought about it, he would never have thought that his niece would have such luck and could become the crown princess.
You know, the eldest daughter of the Lu family is the eldest daughter, born to the original wife of Luwang. Moreover, both in appearance and temperament, they look better than Lu Zhen, so why did the queen choose Lu Zhen?
Liu Cai was like a dream, and he felt unreal no matter how he was.
Zhang He coughed: "It's the second girl of the Lu family, Mr. Liu's niece."
Liu Cai quickly pinched himself, it hurts really, it seems that it is not a dream.
"This is a great joy, a great joy."
He jumped up happily.
After being happy, he asked Zhang He: "What did Your Highness the Crown Prince ask Lord Zhang to do? Is the Crown Prince short of money? If I lack money, I will go and raise 500,000 taels of silver? I will raise 1 million if I don't have 500,000 not enough. Don't worry, I will make up enough for the stolen goods."
Zhang He was speechless.
"The prince is not short of money."
He waved his hand: "That's the case."
Zhang He told Liu Cai about the Lu family: "When the imperial edict was announced, Miss Lu had a quarrel. Lin Xiang was afraid that the second girl would have made any mistakes, so he took Miss Lin's house to stay. The prince was also worried about the second girl's safety, so he wanted to invite Mr. Liu to go to the Lu family to see him and ask you to persuade Mrs. Lu. If it really doesn't work, please ask Mr. Liu to take Miss Liu to stay in Jizhou."
Liu Cai cursed angrily: "I really don't know my mind. I'm really... Is her head kicked by a donkey? Why are she so confused?"
After scolding, Liu Cai assured Zhang He: "Mr. Zhang, please reassure the prince. I will leave to the capital immediately. I will ask the confused thing about who is her daughter. This time, even if I slap her with a big ear, I will wake her up. If she is really confused, I will take my niece to stay."
Zhang He nodded: "I'm working hard."
Liu Cai asked Zhang He to sit and wait for a while.
He turned around and went to the back house, first told Mrs. Liu about the great event, and asked Mrs. Liu to prepare his luggage and bring a full amount of silver notes. He didn't rest for a long time, and then set off with Zhang He to Beijing after taking the money and supplies.
Old Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu knew that Lu Zhen was chosen as the crown princess, so they really laughed like a flower.
Mrs. Liu packed up her things for Liu He, and then brought a group of girls and women to Mrs. Liu's house.
As soon as she entered the door, she smiled: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady. I really didn't expect that our cousin would have such a good fortune. My God, that is the Crown Princess. The future empress and mother of a country fell on our cousin. I can't believe such a great joy."
After saying this series, Old Mrs. Liu listened with a smile.
She was both happy and proud, and at the same time she was a little frustrated.
What is happy is that Lu Zhen has good luck, but what is proud is that Lu Zhen is also her junior. Their Liu family can still have a crown princess, which is a matter of smoke from the ancestral grave. What is frustrated is that Liu is confused. She can't stand up even if her biological daughter becomes the crown princess. Not to mention treating her daughter well, she still has to praise the big girl's stinky feet. It's really a shame.
"Happy together, happy together."
Old Mrs. Liu smiled and called Mrs. Liu to sit down: "That's your niece. If she is ready, she will be filial to you in the future."
Mrs. Liu sat down and said, "That's our cousin. She has such great fortune and is the blessing of our Liu family. I thought that our family would have to prepare a thick dowry for the cousin, so that we can't let the cousin lose face."
“That’s true.”
While thinking, Old Mrs. Liu said, "You have to prepare this dowry earlier. You will open the warehouse and pick it up. There are no other ones in our house. In recent years, there are a lot of jewelry and jade piles in the warehouse. Take out some to get some good sets of good faces for Zhen'er. When the next day, Dabao will go to Jiangnan to find some good materials, and then find some good wood. If you encounter rare items, buy some back."
Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly: "I remember there was a pair of red coral trees in our warehouse. I would like to get it out to give my cousin a dowry."
On this side, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family were rushing to make a dowry for Lu Zhen, while on the other side, Zhang He and Liu Cai rushed to the capital.
When he arrived in the middle of the capital, Liu Cai did not rest and went to the Lu family directly.
Liu has been unhappy these days.
Lu Zhen became the future crown princess. After receiving the order, she went to the palace and then went to Lin Xiang's house, saying that she wanted to learn the rules in the palace, but she disappeared after leaving, which made Liu very upset.
In addition, Lu Shan has been making trouble these days, Liu feels even more uncomfortable.
She couldn't even eat this day, so she thought about how to get angry when Lu Zhen came back, and then she heard the girl say that the uncle is here.
Liu quickly asked someone to invite him.
Liu Cai entered the Lu family's door, first went to pay homage to Mrs. Lu, and then went to Liu's house.
He sent the girl out when he entered the door, and then cursed: "You are a fool, my father and I are pretty smart. Why did you raise such a lump of wood? Tell me what you have done over the years? Who treats you as a mother like you? You are a stepmother, and you can do it for the sake of your reputation. Then you will be a bowl of water. Don't forget your own child. You are a stepmother, but you are really a stepmother. Who the hell are you? I think you are Zhen'er's stepmother."
Liu asked Liu Cai to curse and couldn't stand up: "What did your brother say? This is the Lu family. Why did you go to the Lu family to scold me?"
Liu Cai almost couldn't hold on and beat Liu up: "You will be fucking with me. If you have the ability to go with your mother-in-law and your big girl, you can protect your own daughter if you have the ability. Haha, if you really want to be kind to your big girl, and be virtuous, don't have children. If you go with your big girl, your kind daughter, why should you give birth to Zhen'er to suffer?"
Liu's face looked even more ugly: "If my brother scolds me again, go out."
Liu Cai sat down panting: "What do you think? Zhen'er was chosen as the Crown Princess by the queen. Do you know what the Crown Princess is? That is the future queen, one of the women in the world. Your daughter has become the Crown Princess, what are you afraid of? Your eldest girl and grandparents have ten courages, but you dare not do anything about you. You straighten your back and be a kind mother, and protect your daughter well. What can you do if you protect your daughter well? My confused girl, you have to rely on Zhen'er for the future. Zhen'er, you are all fine. Are you still thinking about letting the eldest girl provide you with your old age? You are daydreaming? I advise you to dispel that idea as soon as possible."
Liu was stunned.
Liu Cai said again: "Do you know how I came from? That was the prince who knew the foolish thing you did. He specially asked the chief of the Eastern Palace to go to the ancient city to call me. Your confused reputation reached the ears of the queen and the prince. If you weren't for the birth mother of the princess, the prince would have asked his brother-in-law to divorce you long ago."
