Chapter 696 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces
As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing, and the female relatives dared not say much. Today, Concubine Tong was in trouble with Concubine Yi, who was close to him, and there would definitely be additional problems later.
Liang Fei sat upright in her seat, her heart was full of ups and downs.
Before the Chinese New Year, Yinsi and Liangfei mentioned that they wanted to marry Liangfei's grand niece to the second son of the prefect of Yangzhou. This marriage was considered a transaction.
The second son of the Yangzhou Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture is a premature baby. The child has been slower than ordinary people since he was born. Although the Yangzhou Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture holds real power, the famous families in the south do not want to marry the Prefecture family.
Qingyan heard about this second son, even the concubine of the salt merchant family was unwilling to marry into his family.
Concubine Tong glanced at Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang could still sit here calmly, not taking it seriously at all.
After hearing Concubine Tong's words, the female family members felt that Concubine Tong was in charge of a lot.
"Okay, let's go down first." Concubine Tong killed everyone and left a Qingban alone to accompany her.
Qing Yan obediently supported Concubine Tong to the inner hall, thinking in his mind that Concubine Tong had no words to punish Concubine Liang today.
"Mom, why didn't you punish Liang Fei?" Qing Yan asked as she looked at Concubine Tong.
"It's just a private conversation between Yinsi and Liang Fei. If it is used as evidence, it is obvious that the eyeliner has been arranged in the palace, which is not beautiful!" Concubine Tong is in charge of the palace affairs, so of course she will coordinate again and again.
Qing Yan was a little furious when she saw Concubine Tong. Without saying anything, she fell silent.
"Xiao Guai, tell the shops in the south and try to watch the news about the capital as much as possible!" Concubine Tong lowered her voice and reminded, "There may be some rebellious among the people sent by Master Long live."
Yinsi was able to discuss with Liangfei's concubine, and when he was involved in the officialdom in Jiangnan, Kangxi became even more concerned.
The two shops in Qingyan are different. They are often visited by officials and family members. Occasionally, some chats are involved, so they can get more information.
"Yes, my mother!" Qing Yan nodded, "Recently, there have been a lot of news in the south. Moreover, the wife of the prefect of Yangzhou has indeed ordered a lot of valuable heads and faces, and all the shops have been sent over. It is said that these precious heads and faces have appeared on the surface of Beijing!"
What?!
Concubine Tong was stunned, her head and face had already appeared on the market...
"Is it mean, someone went to the pawn shop?" Concubine Tong remembered that Linglong Pavilion had a special acquisition of Linglong Pavilion.
"No, I took it to Linglong Pavilion to sell it. I heard it was a Mongolian female family member." Qingyan said, "And, the female family member should have married into the old royal family member who had been in the capital for decades."
After hearing this, Concubine Tong showed a sneer on her face. If these people were these people, they probably really needed to think about it.
"Xiao Guai, are you saying true? Have you taken action?" Concubine Tong felt that she had agreed, otherwise, no one would have done this.
Qingyan nodded. Recently, Linglongge has been nervous. If he receives a similar decoration, he will definitely report it directly.
"The shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion said, is it that clan member who came here?" asked Concubine Tong.
Qing Yan frowned slightly and shook her head directly. Who would have recorded so much detail?
"The shopkeeper never asks about these things. These decorations are recorded in the account book. At the end of each year, every time I ask the people below to compare them, I know whose female decorations were sent to Linglong Pavilion." Qingyan said directly, "So, this is something I paid attention to, and it is not a real record at all!"
Concubine Tong was very surprised when she heard this. Some people always said that Linglong Pavilion is a recycling old decoration.
"Xiao Guai, what are those old decorations used for?" Concubine Tong became curious.
"There will be some valuable raw materials on it. Those prepared for pawn decorations, the raw gems are picked and made into new heads." Qingyan said it directly.
Concubine Tong knew that many families had less money, so many people hoped that these gems would be left behind, which would reduce some expenses.
"Forget it, you can take a look at those account books." Concubine Tong asked for the account books directly.
Qing Yan was slightly stunned. He actually wanted this...
"Sulan, go to the Old Summer Palace and take all the accounts in the third room of the study!" Qingyan was preparing these things, and prepared them in advance, so he no longer cared about them.
Concubine Tong had a faint smile on her face, hoping that some clues could be found in these account books.
After a moment, Su Lan walked in with six account books directly. Qingyan watched the account books being brought, and took them from Su Lan himself and the room was in the hands of Concubine Tong.
"Xiao Guai, are there only these six books?" Concubine Tong asked as she looked at Qing Yan.
"Yes, there are only these six books!" Qing Yan nodded, "I have summarized them all, but there are several legitimate concubines from the royal family who are from Korqin. In recent years, they have really pawned a lot of things, and the original gems on their heads and faces have been picked out."
Concubine Tong began to open the account book, and each of the above records was recorded in very detailed detail.
"Shu, you have recorded all these families." Concubine Tong said with her eyes narrowed.
Shu walked aside and looked at the name above, looking a little bad.
"Master, these people are protected by the Empress Dowager. Can we really investigate?" Shu asked directly.
"Shu, it's better to investigate and see if these female relatives who have married from Korqin have encountered any difficulties." Concubine Tong said directly.
After hearing this, Qingyan thought Concubine Tong was right. It seemed that this problem was a bit serious.
When it comes to Mongolian noble women, the empress dowager can't argue anything.
"Do you want to tell me?" Qing Yan asked.
"Don't talk about it for now. We must investigate the real reason before talking to the emperor's mother." Concubine Tong said directly.
Qingyan didn't say anything. Listening to Concubine Tong's advice, she was mentally up and down, and worries would make the empress dowager feel a little awkward.
"My mom, but my daughter-in-law hopes to tell the queen as much as possible. Those concubines are all Mongolian old men and feel good in front of the queen." Qing Yan said directly.
Concubine Tong looked down at Qingyan. In fact, her suggestions were very good, and the empress dowager was the most difficult to do.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Concubine Tong said directly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an agreement and stood up and walked towards the empress dowager's residence.
"Xiao Guai, I'll go to the emperor's mother later, don't say anything. I'll tell you myself. If you ask you something, you can just testify next to you!" Concubine Tong didn't want Qingyan to be involved in it.
"Okay!" Qingyan nodded, "Mom, be careful!"
