Chapter 283: One hundred thousand taels of silver

In the Chamber, Gu Jiu, Xiao Qin'er, and Ouyang Fu, the three of them each occupy a table and are busy with their own errands.
Ouyang Fu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to send someone to visit Chen Mansion, sister-in-law, fourth siblings, what do you think?"
Xiao Qin'er said: "Second sister-in-law, if you want to go, don't worry about me."
Gu Jiu asked, "When are the second younger siblings going? Chen Lu has moved to the Chen Mansion for a few days, can he get used to it? I heard that there is only a bare house left in that house, not even a chair."
"Who said no. Two days ago, my father ordered people to send rice noodles, grains, and oil bedding over. I thought, Chen Lu should still be short of something. It's better for us to pool a member and buy him a piece of property."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Second siblings are interested, you have a good idea, count me."
Ouyang Fu looked at Xiao Qin'er.
Xiao Qin'er's eyes turned left and right, "How much money do I have to pay? Has my second wife ever counted?"
Ouyang Fu chuckled softly and said: "I'm going to make the final decision. I have to complete everything. There are not a few hundred taels that can't be done. It's better than one of us one hundred taels, and three hundred taels.
First send someone to his side to see what is missing, and then follow the list. In the end, if there is any money left, give it all to Chen Lu and ask him to start a life for the people. "
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "This matter depends on the second younger sibling, Qingmei, to fetch a hundred taels. Prepare more scattered silver to facilitate shopping."
"Slaves obey orders."
Xiao Qin'er smiled, "Sister-in-law is really positive."
Gu Jiu said: "The Chen family now has only one male, Chen Lu, who is still a half-year-old. It is not easy to support a family by himself. Since he is a relative, it is nothing to reach out and help."
Xiao Qin'er said: "Sister-in-law has said everything to this point. If I can't make this one hundred taels, wouldn't it look stingy. Go, get one hundred taels from the room."
Xiao Qin'er instructed the maid, and then brought up another matter, "This kind of thing, how can I miss the third sister-in-law. If the third sister-in-law is absent, she should be counted as one. The four of us make up four hundred taels. Not better."
Ouyang Fu gave a light cough, "The three younger siblings and the third son need to rest, so let's not disturb them. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"I still send someone to scream, and don't make any effort to make up the third siblings."
Xiao Qin'er laughed, "Sister-in-law is still reasonable. Come here, go and tell the third lady that we're making up a share, and ask her if she wants to make up a share?"
The maid was ordered to leave.
Ouyang Fu frowned, "This is not so good."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "What's wrong. Sansao hasn't sold less of the things in the mansion in the past few years. Rough calculations, less than tens of thousands of taels. She is not bad for money."
"Her money was given to her brother." Ouyang Fu defended the third wife, Cai Shi.
Xiao Qin'er didn't buy it, "It's really a good daughter of the Cai family. She took her husband's stuff to fill her maiden brother. Fortunately, she has no housekeeper, otherwise the palace will be vacated by her."
Ouyang Fu was a little dissatisfied, "Fourth siblings kept a bit of morals. The third siblings have not been easy these years. They have been in poor health. Don't care if you don't care about her. You still say she is a bit mean."
"I'm mean?" Xiao Qin'er was outraged, "People who dare to become a seller have something to sympathize with, and all mistakes can be forgiven.
As for me, just because I was healthy and healthy, I was criticized for being mean by telling the truth.
I have to doubt you. You are in charge of every garden and there are people who are greedy for ink. Is it because there is a pitiful place that you let go of those who are greedy for ink and continue to condone them? "
Ouyang Fu frowned, obviously angry, "You don't want to talk about it, one yard goes to one yard."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "On the basis of what you just said, I have reason to doubt whether you will be a steward."
Ouyang Fu put down his abacus, "Does the four younger siblings want to check the accounts? My accounts are clear, there is no problem, you can check it out."
"I don't dare to check your account, you are the most capable in the house, the second wife who everyone praises." Xiao Qin'er was half mocking, half mocking.
Ouyang Fu's expression changed, "As for the three younger siblings, even the father and the king didn't hold him accountable. What is the reason for the fourth younger siblings to bite?"
Xiao Qin'er triumphed, "I didn't pursue the third sister-in-law, I just talked about my own thoughts. When will I not be allowed to speak. Brother-in-law, you give a comment. Did I make a mistake or the second sister-in-law was wrong? "
Gu Jiu shook his head, "You two things, you should solve it yourself. An upright official can hardly break housework, let alone I am not an upright official."
Xiao Qin'er patted her mouth lightly, "I just owe my mouth, I should have learned from my sister-in-law. I will never ask any more about things that have nothing to do with me. Second sister-in-law, you continue to be your capable person."
Ouyang Fu's heart was suffocated, "The four younger siblings spoke with a gun and a stick, saying that you are mean, really right."
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, and was about to pat the table and turn her face in the next moment. At this moment, the maid who went to see the third wife Cai's came back.
"Open to the fourth wife. The third wife said that she had limited financial resources and would not join in. She asked the slave and maid to bring a bedding over, as it was a little for Master Chen Lu."
The maid lifted the bedding into the room.
Xiao Qin'er looked disgusted, "Hurry up and take it away. This is the bedding that the couple used? I don't know if they will get sick, and the third sister-in-law would dare to take it out and give it away. I'm not paying attention to it."
Gu Jiu also said: "Hurry up and bring the quilt back to the third wife. You tell her that we will pay for her share. Tell her not to worry."
The maid hesitated.
Xiao Qin'er angrily scolded, "What are you still stunned? Be careful to pass the sickness to me. Take it away quickly."
When the maid heard this, she was also a little scared, afraid that she would be sick. She unwillingly carried the quilt and left.
Xiao Qin'er got angry and sat on the chair, breathing out from his nostrils, very loud.
She said dissatisfiedly: "Sansao asked the maid to carry a quilt for what? Is she a disgusting person? I am fed up with her."
Ouyang Fu argued for Cai's: "She may also be kind. Thinking about Chen Lu returning to the Chen Mansion empty-handed, she didn't bring anything, and so many people around him had to eat and sleep, and the bedding was definitely not enough. She gave a bedding. , Also kindly."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, her nostrils widened, "Don't do this kind of good intentions. Who is it to give Chen Lu after a sickness? Who can bear it if the lord of Huyang makes a fuss."
Ouyang Fu said: "Speaking of Princess Huyang, I don't know what the situation is now, I hope it's okay."
Xiao Qin'er looked around, "Sister-in-law, second-sister-in-law, do you really hope that Princess Huyang is okay? If she is okay, she will continue to live in the palace."
After looking through the ledger, Gu Jiu smiled when he heard Xiao Qin'er questioning, "Mother and concubine are not worried, but the four younger brothers and sisters are not worried."
Princess Huyang lives in the palace. Pei’s is the one who suffers the most.
Pei's is not in a hurry, what are they in a hurry.
Ouyang Fu followed Gu Jiu's words and said, "Neither the father nor the mother has spoken, why should we worry about it. Four younger siblings, you worry too much."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, and muttered, "hypocritical!" All of them were a group of hypocritical people.
...
In the evening, King Ning and Pei finally returned from the palace.
Both of them looked tired.
Gu Jiu rushed to Chunhetang to please her. Everyone else has arrived.
"Niang, how's the matter?" Concubine Shen Bian asked first.
Pei rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Princess Huyang will not be able to return for the time being. Your Majesty punished her to copy the filial piety a thousand times. When will she finish copying and when will she leave the palace."
Oh!
Copying the Sutra of Filial Piety is not a serious punishment.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Pei say: "Your Majesty’s decree, the Shao Mansion will find another mansion for the Huyang princess to serve as the princess mansion. This mansion is half smaller than the current princess mansion. The main mansion converted the price and collected it back to the Shaofu. The converted money was handed over to the household department by the Shaofu, and it was regarded as paying back the arrears of the household department for the Huyang county lord.
what?
Everyone looked at each other.
The princess Huyang has been clamoring to change the princess mansion, and the emperor did change the mansion. In the end, he robbed the chicken without eroding the rice, and shot himself in the foot with a rock.
This is not over yet, just listen to Pei's continuing to say: "Your Majesty fined Huyang for another three years, plus the last punishment, to make up for six years. In the next six years, Huyang County Lord will have no Juelu, so he can only rely on The profitability of the industry under the name will survive."
The emperor was one move after another, directly hitting Huyang to the ground.
The emperor knew that Huyang loves money the most, so he used Huyang's money exclusively.
Now, Huyang should be honest.
Concubine Luo Biancai cautiously asked: "Is there any result of the matter between the Lord Huyang and Han Wulang?"
Pei said with deep meaning: "It is difficult for Daihou Mansion to read the court. Your Majesty suffers, and he offers one hundred thousand taels of silver for his majesty to spend. Your Majesty has already spoken, and no one is allowed to mention the matter of Huyang Princess and Han Wulang. "
Wow!
Everyone exclaimed.
One hundred thousand taels of silver when Daihou Mansion makes a big deal. That Han Goro was indeed the most beloved child.
Gu Jiu helped her, she didn't expect Daihou Mansion to bribe in front of the emperor, and it worked. She didn't know whether Daihou's thought of this method was related to the words she said yesterday about taking money to eliminate disasters.
However, the action of Daihou Mansion is really leveraged.
So soon, one hundred thousand taels of silver were collected and dedicated to the emperor.
But the emperor actually accepted the money, and he said that no one was allowed to mention the matter between the lord of Huyang and Han Wulang.
The emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that it was forbidden to mention it, so the marriage between Huyang County Lord and Han Wulang naturally fell through.
Concubine Shen Bian said with emotion, "There is an expert behind Daihou's Mansion. I actually thought of donating money to your majesty and spending money to eliminate disasters."
Concubine Luo Fang said: "That Han Goro is really a golden lump. In order to keep him, Daihou Mansion actually gave up one hundred thousand taels of silver. I want to see what Han Goro looks like, it is so valuable."
"I heard that he has red lips and white teeth and is extremely beautiful."
"Dalang daughter-in-law, I remember that you have a sister of the same race married to the Han family of Daihou Mansion. Have you ever met that Han Wulang?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I have seen it once, and there is indeed a good look."
"No wonder. I heard that Han Wulang was very favored by the old lady of the Daihou Mansion, as a treasure like an eyeball. The Daihou Mansion put together one hundred thousand taels of silver to "redempt his body" for him in such a short time, it is obvious that the old lady of the Daihou Mansion came out. Great effort."
"Wang Concubine, is Princess Huyang angry when she learns about this?" Concubine Shen side asked curiously.
The lord of Huyang has been showing how Han Goro is doing these days, and Concubine Shen's ears can hardly be heard.
She just wanted to know what it was like that Princess Huyang lost the money and lost Han Wulang.
Pei said: "In the palace, Huyang doesn't dare to mess around. Even if her heart is on fire, she has to hold back."
Concubine Shen Biang covered her lips and smiled, "When Huyang comes out of the palace, I'm afraid it's not going to call the Dai Hou Mansion and ask Han Wulang to settle the account."
Concubine Luo Fang asked: "Your Majesty has spoken, does Huyang dare?"
Concubine Shen Biyan raised her eyebrows, and said as if she came over: "Why don't you dare? Your Majesty fined Huyang Juelu for three years and accepted her mansion again. These punishments are enough.
Huyang was a little ridiculous outside the palace. As long as he didn't bully the common people or file a lawsuit, his Majesty would mostly turn a blind eye to her absurd behavior.
After all, Huyang is also an emperor anyway, she is not allowed to vent her anger after being wronged. Niangniang, am I right? "
Pei rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache.
"Huyang wants to go out of the palace, let alone say there are ten and a half days. When she leaves the palace, what she wants to do, this princess can't control."
"Don't you care about the prince?"
Pei snorted, "What's the matter? When you are a prince, you have nothing to do every day, staring at Huyang all day, and wiping Huyang's buttocks?"
Rough words are not rough.
Living in the palace, King Ning couldn't always pay attention to the movement of Huyang.
King Ning seems to be very busy, listening to music all day, but actually very busy. If you are busy for ten and a half days, you may not have time to enter the inner courtyard.
Even the most favored Chen Liangyuan, King Ning hasn't spent the night in her yard for a long time.
Concubine Luo Bian was stunned, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect Pei to curse over her head and face.
She was aggrieved, so she stopped speaking.
Pei snorted, "Recently, you have given this princess a break, and do everything according to the rules. Don't contact people outside. This time when you enter the palace, your majesty praises our palace's cutting costs very much. This is not enough. There are things. So, the cutting cost is not a half-and-a-half. It has to be persisted for a long time, one year, two years, three years, five years. Everyone should be mentally prepared."
For a while, everyone was crying.
"The cost of cutting 30% is really not enough." Xiao Qin'er was the first to complain, "The husband alone spent most of the expenses. Please also ask the mother and concubine for grace."
Pei glared at Xiao Qin'er. As her daughter-in-law, she was the first to tear down the stage. Will she wink?
It's not that Xiao Qin'er doesn't know how to wink, but is really short of money.
Gu Jiu prevented her from putting money in stamps, and immediately lost a lot of income.
Liu Yi is about to go to Jiangnan, which is another expense.
She can't wait to sleep with her arms around her.
She hoped that Pei would let go and give her a little more money anyway, so that she could have a little more money.
Pei said sharply: "The cutting cost is 30%, this is set by the prince. Even the prince is not spared, are you more noble than the prince. Xio will mention this matter again in the future. The princess is exhausted, so leave."
Xiao Qin'er was the first to leave.
Ouyang Fu whispered, "Four younger siblings are too anxious, and the whole person is caught in Qian's eyes."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's very similar to Princess Huyang."
Ouyang Fu laughed, "The four younger brothers and sisters are the same as Princess Huyang, and they are cousins. No wonder they all love money so much."
Concubine Shu's maiden name is Xiao. Before Xiao Qin'er married Liu Yi, she had to call her concubine Shu to call her grandmother and Princess Huyang to call her cousin.
Since Xiao Qin'er married Liu Yi, the relationship has been based on Wang's theory.
Xiao Qin'er went back to the room and complained to Liu Yi as usual.
"My concubine is getting more and more dissatisfied with me, and has prevented me from coming to stage several times. You talked to my concubine about giving me some face in front of others."
Liu Yi was a little impatient, "Did you say the wrong thing again, angering the concubine?"
Xiao Qin'er pouted, "What do you mean by saying something wrong? I just told the truth. It costs 30% to cut what we eat and what we use these days. For the expenses of your own person, we will pay I'm not allowed to say a few words when the money I gave is used up? I just hope that the mother and concubine will let go, anyway, don't cut 30%, cut two trips."
Liu Yi was very upset, "I told you a long time ago, don't worry, don't worry, wait for three or five months, you don't need to speak, the cost will naturally come up.
And I am going to Jiangnan soon, and soon we will have money. You can't help it at such a moment, what do you want me to say to you?
What's more, you said this in front of everyone, aren't you tearing down the platform? It's strange that she can be satisfied with you.
You, you, can't you just look at the wind and look at the winks? You think this is the Xiao family, you are still the eldest of the Xiao family, do you say whatever you want? "
"Well, you Liu Yi, you dislike me, don't you?"
"Don't mess with you, can you? If I despise you, can I marry you?"
"If you marry me, you just fancy my family background."
"If you want to think so, I have nothing to say. I will sleep in the study tonight, and you don't have to worry about me."
Liu Yi shook his sleeve and left. Xiao Qin'er cried with anger.
