A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 253 The Palace Eunuch Arrives Suddenly
According to the confessions of those who were captured alive, in order to create this big incident, they inquired about the activities of various powerful people in the capital. After much calculation, they realized that it would be very difficult to act if they entered the capital. They might not only fail to obtain any important hostages, but also lose their brothers.
On the contrary, why would these weak scholars, who can't carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands, hold a literary gathering in the mountains outside Beijing?
Isn't this the easiest persimmon to squeeze?
These bandits who came from the deep mountains and forests in the south had a very good plan.
If we kidnap all these chicken-like scholars, and use the noble young men with the best family backgrounds among them to exchange for the brothers who were captured by that damn Fifth Prince.
As for those scholars with ordinary family backgrounds, each of them will be exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver. Brothers, you have come all the way here, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't earn some money to spend?
It’s no wonder that although these people’s plan had many loopholes, they actually succeeded by accident.
After all, whether it was the Wucheng Bingmasi, Shuntian Prefecture, or the garrison troops in the suburban areas of Beijing, who could have imagined that there would be such a bold operation?
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Old Madam Su, at least half of the students would have been killed.
Half of the best students from the three academies were killed?
Wouldn't the capital city be in chaos?
So, this old lady, Madam Su, was only famous among some powerful people before.
By now, everyone in the capital city knows about it!
In the past two days, students' families came to give gifts to Madam Su every now and then.
Of course, there are all kinds of rumors in the capital.
The most outrageous thing is that Madam Su had learned Taoist magic. She just chanted a few spells and the bandits fell to the ground with their heads in their hands and rolled around. Then they were subdued by the officers and soldiers, right?
But only those who hold high positions of power in the family know what happened that night.
Although there were several students injured or killed, what does that have to do with those students who were lucky enough to return?
So, considering the help from Old Madam Su, they all came to give gifts?
Aunt Su did not accept all of these gifts. She returned those that were too expensive or were made of gold or silver.
There were some things that were hard to buy even if you had money, such as small pieces of jade and jadeite, agarwood beads and ornaments, fine scented ink and embroidery, so she kept them.
I picked up the small and high-quality ones and passed them to Su Heiya, which made Su Heiya so happy that she was bursting with joy.
Su Heiya has now achieved financial freedom. In theory, she can afford whatever she wants. But for these things, if you are not an expert, it is really difficult to tell the authenticity and it is easy to become a sucker.
Only in this world that Aunt Su traveled to, although these things are valuable, they are not that high. There are also few counterfeits and black technologies, so the quality is guaranteed.
What makes Aunt Su happiest is that her happiness value continues to rise.
The price increased by more than a thousand at a time, and it increased thirty or forty times!
Well, the happiness she spent on buying the new drone not only recovered but also increased.
Isn't this just a waste of a powerful reconnaissance drone?
The larger drone we had before was also quite useful, but when it was flying, it was a bit large and made quite a bit of noise. No one would notice it the first or second time, but that might not be the case if it was used many times.
However, the larger drone is more powerful than the smaller one for spraying pesticides.
The only thing that makes Aunt Su a little regretful is that her accumulated happiness points have reached more than one million, but why hasn’t this system been upgraded?
She had a little idea in mind, thinking that as the sky went higher, maybe she could be teleported back as well.
If this message can't be sent back, don't we just have to stay here?
Aunt Su had no choice but to cheer up and teach a few stupid kids while training the half-grown children who served as servants.
Just then, she had just finished a fairy shadow class and sent the three little ones out the door, when she heard a commotion outside the door again.
Aunt Su thought it was some student's family coming to give a thank-you gift.
However, the person who came was an old eunuch from the palace!
The old eunuch came to announce the imperial decree.
The Empress Dowager heard that Madam Su from the Linbo Mansion in Tongcheng was kind-hearted and had made great contributions in suppressing the rebels in Wenquan Mountain, so she specially summoned Madam Su to the palace for an audience tomorrow.
When Aunt Su suddenly heard this imperial decree, she was completely stunned.
She was not a local, so naturally she did not have any special reverence for the royal family or for entering the palace.
But even if there was no special reverence, Aunt Su's heart was still pounding.
For her, it is best not to deal with these royal people directly if possible.
She was afraid that the carefree personality she developed in modern times would cause trouble in front of those people!
And even if she had made a contribution, shouldn't she have been summoned by the Queen or the Emperor?
Oh, yes, she remembered that the current old emperor was old and had already outlived two queens.
Although the empress dowager is older than the old emperor, she is actually ten years younger and is not the emperor’s biological mother.
Fortunately, she was not summoned to the palace immediately, and there was still a day to prepare.
It happened that Lin Yanniang was not at home at the moment, so Aunt Su had to think quickly and glanced at Aunt Jiao beside her. Although Aunt Jiao was also frightened, she at least knew to quickly prepare a purse and put a dozen golden beans in it.
Aunt Su handed over the purse with a big smile on her face.
The old eunuch's originally mysterious expression relaxed a little.
Then he nodded approvingly at Aunt Su, "Don't worry, old lady. The Queen Mother summoned you, which is naturally a good thing."
After sending the old eunuch away, Aunt Su became unhappy.
Quickly send someone to call Lin Yanniang to discuss things with this only backbone.
"Yanniang, I remember you mentioned before that the old queen mother in the palace, along with two old concubines, took refuge in Puci Palace, burning incense and worshipping Buddha all day long, not caring about worldly affairs?"
"Why do you want to summon me out of the blue?"
Lin Yanniang was also shocked when she heard about this. She couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager summoned her mother.
But she racked her brains and finally came up with a reason.
"The Wenquanshan case was caused by the Fifth Prince's suppression of bandits. Now the three courts are investigating the case, but they haven't reached a conclusion yet..."
"Now that the Queen's throne is vacant, if the Imperial Concubine is asked to summon Mother, it would be a little unreasonable. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine now has three princes, which might lead to unnecessary speculation in the court."
Now that the emperor is old, although a crown prince has been appointed, he does not have any real power.
None of the adult princes under the crown prince are easy to deal with.
Some of them are even more powerful than the prince.
Even if the Fifth Prince was exiled to a fiefdom, wouldn't he still be full of martial virtues and stir up hornet's nests everywhere?
