A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Princess Huyang lost more than she gained, but she never thought of returning the manor to Madam Su.

She is a princess, doesn't she have any dignity?

If Zhuangzi can't get any benefit from it, then just leave it there.

Anyway, it didn't cost her a penny when she got it.

But she never expected that this matter would never end.

Not only did two of the people she sent die of illness, but another two were so pale and thin that they looked as if they had some incurable disease.

Even the remaining ones seemed to have their energy sucked out of them. They were timid and made people feel irritated when they saw them.

Even she herself had nightmares for several days in a row.

Finally, I went to a royal temple outside Beijing and asked a master to chant sutras. I also got a pair of consecrated Buddhist beads to wear on my hands. Only then did I feel a little better.

The most hateful thing was that her sister-in-law actually sent a eunuch from the palace to announce the imperial decree and severely reprimand her.

Those words made her eyes turn black and her face pale. She wished there was a crack in the ground so she could crawl into it.

The eunuch finally let out the hint before he left.

It would be fine if she bullied others, but why did she even bully the people protected by the Fifth Princess?

Princess Huyang was so angry that she smashed all the porcelain in the room, but in the end she honestly found the deed and had someone send it to the Fifth Princess.

If the fifth princess wants this, then isn't it for Lin Yanniang and her son?

Lin Yanniang smiled and said, "Mother, we were able to take back the manor this time thanks to Su Xian and the Fifth Princess!"

Aunt Su put away the deed, looked at Lin Yanniang and smiled, "It's all thanks to my Yanniang!"

Although there is the Fifth Princess as the clue, how can it be accomplished without Lin Yanniang threading the needle?

It wouldn't be necessary for an old lady like her to be a mistress to a young girl, right?

Lin Yanniang's face turned red.

This was the first time her mother praised her!

I still remember that when she was little, her mother would often look at her and sigh, asking why she wasn't a man? Otherwise, her mother would have someone to rely on.

After she got married, her mother often wrote to her, lamenting that she had married far away and could not rely on anything. She also complained about her father's favoritism of a concubine, her eldest brother's unfilial behavior, and her eldest sister-in-law's disrespectfulness... In short, it could be summed up in one word: miserable!

However, I never expected that after being enlightened by the immortal, my mother would undergo such an amazing transformation.

Looking at such a mother, even if she was originally listless and wanted to lie down, she would become excited and full of fighting spirit.

Lin Yanniang smiled and said, "Mother has paved the way for me. If I still can't walk on it, wouldn't I be a fool?"

Aunt Su also laughed, "Hahaha, we mother and daughter should stop bragging to each other. To celebrate taking back the manor, let's order a table at Qiyun Tower and have a good celebration!"

After Aunt Su came to Beijing, she wandered around the city for the first seven days, but later she became a little too lazy to move.

It’s nothing more than eating, drinking and shopping.

Especially some famous shops in the capital city require VIPs to enter, and some even require reservations... Aunt Su is too lazy to spend the time.

Now, I can use this as an excuse to have a big meal.

Lin Yanniang asked several of her servants to go to Qiyun Tower to reserve a table.

When the banquet was brought back, the servants laid it out one by one. It was indeed a mixture of land and sea food, and everything was exquisite.

Shan Jie'er and Hu Ge'er's eyes sparkled when they saw so many delicious foods, and they cheered and sat down at the table.

They were happy to live with their grandmother in this place which was much smaller than their own home. They felt free and comfortable. Their grandmother never scolded them, and there were no rules or restrictions. They learned something different almost every day, and it was all very interesting...

That is to say, their cousins ​​don’t know what kind of wonderful life they are living, otherwise they would be envious to death!

They were eating happily and didn't notice the subtle changes on the adults' faces.

Aunt Su naturally noticed the subtle expressions on the servants and Lin Yanniang's faces.

Huh?

Did something happen in Qiyun Building when these people went to order food?

However, no matter how big the matter is, let’s talk about it after dinner.

After finishing her meal and sending her two children to rest, she started asking.

"What's wrong? Is my good son-in-law causing trouble again?"

Lin Yanniang smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, it's just that they just met He Sanlang in Qiyun Tower."

Qiyunlou is a famous restaurant in the capital, and its southern cuisine is outstanding.

But not far from Qiyun Tower is Hongxiang Yaguan.

This Hongxiang Yaguan is also a famous brothel in the capital.

The capital city is prosperous, all industries are thriving, and there are more famous places of entertainment than in other places.

In the most famous brothel street in the capital, there are more than a dozen brothels of various sizes.

But there are also some that are unconventional, like the Hongxiang Yaguan.

This one is more reserved and elegant, and they emphasize a pipa that half covers the face.

It is said that it was originally a famous musician from the south who moved to the capital, chose a courtyard with four entrances, and spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy it.

It was decorated beautifully and with great attention to detail, making the courtyard look like a fairyland, and it was even named Hongxiang Yaguan.

This great musician couple had two people, one was good at playing the qin and the other was good at playing the flute.

The couple often likes to dress up in ancient costumes, and when they perform together, they really look like gods.

No one knew who was the first nobleman to visit Hongxiang Yaguan, but word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Before long, Hongxiang Yaguan became the favorite paradise for the elegant and sophisticated scholars in the capital.

The children of these noble families wanted to enter the Hongxiang Yaguan, but they couldn't just go in whenever they wanted. They had to be led by a familiar customer. Once they were led in, they saw the owner and his wife, who were over fifty years old but looked only in their early thirties. They were elegant and refined, not like people from the mortal world. The music they played was also mysterious and wandering. Naturally, they couldn't help but bow down to the grace of these two immortal couples.

When I saw the daughter of the museum owner and his wife again, I felt that she was a fairy from another world, a goddess descended from heaven, and I became crazy about her.

Although you don't need to pay money to enter, you don't need to pay money to eat and drink inside.

But when seeing others giving gifts enthusiastically, who would have the nerve to accept two bunches of bananas empty-handed?

Such valuable spices, antique paintings and calligraphy, tribute silk...it was not uncommon for a prodigal son to squander tens of thousands of taels in three months.

Of course, the style of Hongxiang Yaguan is just what the rich literary youths in ancient times like to like. If it were another person, for example, a rough man like Qian Liuye who has traveled far and wide, seen all kinds of things in the world, and cannot understand music or read poetry, he would definitely not be attracted by this.

When the owner and his wife of Hongxiangya Pavilion came to the capital, they brought their five daughters with them. It is said that these five girls are all beauties with fairy-like figures and jade-like appearance.

Of course, no one knows whether these five girls are the museum owner’s biological daughters.

But the eldest daughter of Hongxiangya Pavilion had successfully married into the Changguo Mansion three years ago and became the concubine of the Changguo Prince.

It is said that the wife of the prince of Duke Chang has been bedridden for many years and is unable to serve the prince, nor is she in charge of the affairs. This young lady from Hongxiang Pavilion is nominally a concubine in the Duke Chang's mansion, but in reality she is a wife...

As for the second girl, although she has not yet married into a wealthy family, it is said that she has already decided to spend her life with Wang Hanlin and will not marry anyone else.

Wang Hanlin was the son of a noble family in Donghai, with a lot of wealth. Wang Hanlin passed the imperial examination and married a princess... Of course, the princess has passed away now, leaving behind two sons, both of whom are married. Wang Hanlin is not even forty years old, but still a handsome young man with a delicate appearance. He is determined to marry the second girl, but the sons and daughters-in-law in the family are hostile to her. He is worried that the beauty will be wronged after marrying into the family, so he would rather she stay in her parents' home and live a comfortable life. Of course, the second girl is deeply in love with Wang Hanlin and naturally will not see outsiders again.

The third young lady is even more amazing. Although she is only sixteen years old and has not yet reached the age to get married, several noblemen are already obsessed with her.

Of course, no one knows who the third girl's heart will eventually fall in love with.

But perhaps it was the bad nature of men that the more they fought, the more sense of accomplishment they had. All the noble young men in Beijing who thought they had some literary and artistic qualities, regardless of whether they were married or not, whether they were strangers or old friends, wanted to see the third girl more and more.

However, Hongxiangya Restaurant does not serve food or drinks.

Those who wanted to visit or were visiting at mealtime could only eat and drink at Qiyun Tower, a hundred steps away from Hongxiang Yaguan.

Qiyun Tower is close to Hongxiang Yaguan, so although it has benefited from it a lot, it has also blocked guests who come with their families. Of course, after adding and subtracting these, Qiyun Tower still makes the profit.

This is also the reason why Aunt Su and her friends had been wandering around the capital for several days but had never been to Qiyun Tower, even though it was famous.

But even if you don't go, it doesn't prevent you from booking a table and coming back to taste the legendary delicacy.

This time, the servants met He Sanlang in Qiyun Tower.

After some inquiries, I found out that He Sanlang had become a regular here a month ago!

Not to mention how beautiful and passionate the third young lady is, even if the third young lady has many suitors, He Laosan, who is a bit older, does not have much advantage. In the Hongxiangya Pavilion, there are the fourth and fifth young ladies who are in their prime, as well as three cousins ​​who came from the south to live with their relatives two months ago!

Although Hongxiang Yaguan is a paradise where many noble young men linger, it is also a fox cave and a den of demons in the hearts of many ladies!

They wished that a few purple-gold lightning bolts would fall from the sky and smash the Hongxiang Yaguan to pieces.

So it’s no wonder that Lin Yanniang was unhappy!

He Laosan had a maid as a concubine when he got married, and later she became Concubine Xiu. The son she gave birth to was healthier than Hu Ge'er. Before Hu Ge'er recovered from his illness, the mother and son had everything they wanted, as if they were just waiting for Hu Ge'er to die so that they could take over.

In addition to Aunt Xiu, He Lao San has taken in two more concubines in the past two years.

One of them has now given birth to a bastard son. In short, He Lao San has many wives and concubines.

He is a bastard, yet he is not satisfied. He follows his friends to the Red Fragrance House all day long! He is really a dissolute and unruly guy.

Aunt Su looked at Lin Yanniang and sighed.

"If I had known that He Lao San was such a person, I should not have married you to me. My son has suffered so much."

Lin Yanniang had wasted ten years because of her son's illness and had given up the idea of ​​having sex with him long ago. Even if she heard that her husband had gone to Hongxiang Yaguan, she was just unhappy. She had sons and daughters and a dowry, and her status was very stable. She didn't care who He Laosan liked or loved. But it would cost money for He Laosan to go to that kind of place!

Lin Yanniang was extremely angry when she thought about how He Laosan spent the money that originally belonged to his children.

When I heard my mother's words again, tears came to my eyes.

But think about it, now she has money, power, the five princesses, and her own mother to help her look after her children. What is there to be unsatisfied about? Why should she cry in front of her own mother and make her unhappy?

Lin Yanniang wiped her eyes and forced another smile.

"My son is not suffering. I was very worried during those years when Brother Hu was ill. Now he is well again and can come to meet his mother from time to time. He is very happy. Other people's lives may not be as happy as mine!"

To be fair, although the He family has various problems, it is not without advantages. The father-in-law does not care about anything, and the mother-in-law does not pay much attention to the concubine's wife and will not make things difficult for her. Otherwise, if it were another family, she might not be able to come out freely to see her mother.

Aunt Su patted Lin Yanniang's hand and said, "Although you can think it through, this He Lao San is too unbecoming. When I have the chance, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

In fact, Aunt Su had already thought about how to teach He Laosan a lesson several times.

But Aunt Su has no official position and is just a mother-in-law. It is not easy for her to visit her in-laws and put pressure on them. She can't be as ruthless as she was to Princess Huyang's subordinates, right?

Lin Yanniang said hurriedly, "Although He Lao San is a bastard, he is still the biological father of the two children..."

Keeping such a person is indeed better than having no one at all.

Aunt Su laughed, "Look at what you said, it seems like I'm going to do something to him."

"Even if I wanted to, I don't have the ability!"

Lin Yanniang coughed lightly and drooped her eyelids slightly.

Mother is very capable now, otherwise Princess Huyang's servants would have been almost useless.

Zhu brought Xiaowu into the hall. When she looked up, she saw Concubine Zhu wearing casual clothes and sitting by the window. She hurriedly took Xiaowu to pay her respects.

"I've met my empress."

"Meet my aunt!"

Concubine Zhu quickly stood up and helped Zhu up with both hands.

"Second sister, please stop being so polite!"

"This is my biological niece Xiaoliu, right?"

I am afraid that my sisters are having a hard life, but I am also afraid that they are too happy.

This is the relationship between Concubine Zhu and Lady Zhu.

Concubine Zhu was the eldest daughter of a concubine, and Zhu was the second daughter of a concubine.

The Zhu family was a merchant family, so the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children was not that great, but it was enough to make Concubine Zhu feel deeply.
