Vol 2 Chapter 812: Raising a son is stressful (seven more)

Back at the palace, Xiao Qin'er bid farewell to Gu Jiu and took the child back to the West Garden.
Dismissed the concubine first.
A pair of children stayed in the room to play.
She took out the key, ordered the maid to open the cage and dig out the ledger.
This is her dowry account for private property.
She didn't know exactly how much money she could spend. You have to look through the books to find out.
The confidant maid holds an abacus to settle accounts.
An important influence that Gu Jiu has brought to the wives is that everyone learns from her and cultivates the literacy of the confidant around her.
There is no need to consult the accountant for anything.
The crackling sound of abacus sounded very pleasant to my ears.
Girlfriend Liu Mu was very interested in the abacus, picked up a small abacus and moved it randomly.
The mother said to the side: "The girl must be a good housekeeper in the future."
Xiao Qin'er laughed and touched the child's head, "You should learn how to manage money as a housekeeper, and you can't be coaxed. Brother Zheng, you have to learn to protect your sister and not let people bully your sister."
Liu Zheng waved his small fist, "Who dares to bully my sister, I beat him all over to find teeth."
Xiao Qin'er smiled with relief.
Liu Zheng's half-year-old is already taller than Xiao Qin'er.
Xiao Qin'er couldn't reach the top of Brother Zheng's head as soon as he stretched out his hand.
She immediately gave birth to a feeling of aging.
"Brother Zheng, you also have to learn a little bit of housekeeping and director skills, so as not to be deceived in the future."
Brother Zheng suddenly got a bitter face.
He doesn't like reading or counting.
He loves to dance knives and sticks and play some fighting games.
Xiao Qin'er said patiently to him: "My mother knows you don't like it. It's just that everyone is alive and not everyone can do what they like. Although the stewardship is boring, it can keep you from being deceived."
Liu Zheng had a bitter face.
Liu Muxi laughed, "Brother is a fool."
Liu Zhengchong's sister bared her teeth, "I'm not a fool."
The two brothers and sisters quarreled about who was stupid.
This kind of thing happens often. Xiao Qin'er was too lazy to bother.
The abacus suddenly stopped.
The maid finished the accounts.
"Madam Qiji, there are 80,000 taels of silver at present."
Xiao Qin'er frowned, "Why is that so?"
She kept saying in front of Gu Jiu that she could only buy a house with seven or eighty thousand taels, which was naturally a word of humility.
At that time, she estimated in her heart that one hundred thousand taels would definitely be fine.
Cai is not clear, let alone, everyone is playing like this.
But she didn't expect that once the accounts were calculated, there was not as much money as she thought.
She doesn't believe in evil, flipping through the account book, holding an abacus to settle accounts by herself.
"Where did all the money go? Why did this happen."
After all, there is no bulk consumption.
Just some daily expenses.
One hundred taels today to buy some gadgets.
Tomorrow a few hundred taels, add some jewelry to the girl.
The next day I will buy a copy of the top four treasures for Zheng.
The day after birth, give the child a hundred taels of pocket money.
Spend a little today, and spend a little tomorrow. This is how the money is spent little by little.
I have to say that raising children is really expensive.
She didn't spend that much money herself.
For the emperor and grandson, the granddaughter Lu, that little money is enough to buy a few sets of clothes and socks for the four seasons, raise a few children, and eat some delicious food.
Wherever money is really spent, parents have to pay for it themselves.
Xiao Qin'er sighed after flipping through the ledger.
The maid did not make a mistake, the money she could use was only about 80,000 taels.
The premise is that there is no place to spend extra money until you buy a house.
In other words, these eighty to twenty million cannot be used.
Otherwise, when the house is fancy and the money is really needed, I am afraid that I will not even be able to get 80,000 taels.
She beckoned Liu Zheng to her, "Mother will buy you a house, and we will move out of the palace, okay?"
Liu Zheng instantly became excited, "Should I go to Xinmin County to buy a house? My son can always play with Yu Ge'er."
Xiao Qin'er poked Liu Zheng's forehead fiercely, "Did you not hear that after the Chinese New Year, Yu Ge will go to the palace to study. If you buy a house, you must buy a house in the capital."
Liu Zheng touched his head, "Hey, I didn't expect Brother Yu would not escape the fate of studying in the palace, we really are brothers and sisters."
Xiao Qin'er was speechless and waved her hand to dismiss Liu Zheng.
...
During the first lunar month, Emperor Wen De was in a good mood, and he was beaming with his palace.
Everyone is curious, what exactly did Emperor Wen De and Huyang talk about on New Year's Eve.
How could Emperor Wen De, who was clearly burning with anger, regained his good mood in a blink of an eye.
Even Huyang, who has not shown up for a long time, had several banquets in the first month.
Can't guess the inside story.
I can only be thankful that your Majesty is in a good mood and that this year has passed smoothly.
Xiao Qin'er found a sunny day and proposed to buy a house with Liu Yi.
"The population of the palace is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting more and more chaotic. The children don't even have a place for activities. I plan to follow the example of my sister-in-law and buy a house outside, and the whole family will move out to live."
"Move out of the palace?" Liu Yi was surprised.
Xiao Qin'er glanced sideways at him, "Do you want to continue living in the palace? So many people are crowded under one roof, don't you really dislike it?"
Liu Yi asked: "House prices in Beijing are not cheap right now. Do we have the money to buy a house?"
"You haven't saved any money for so many years?" Xiao Qin'er was suspicious.
Liu Yitan said, "Your Highness is raising a family of children, and you squeeze out a little money. Where can your Highness still have money to buy a house."
When Xiao Qin'er heard it, she was furious.
"What does it mean that I squeezed out your money. Obviously those women in your backyard and your concubines and concubines squeezed your money away. On the contrary, it was Zheng brothers and daughters who had not used your money. ."
"I didn't use my money? Who pays for what they eat and wear?"
Liu Yi was dissatisfied with Xiao Qin'er saying he was partial.
He is not partial.
It is obviously better to treat the concubine and the concubine than the concubine.
Xiao Qin'er was dissatisfied with Liu Yi's attitude, so her attitude suddenly became tough.
"House prices in the capital are getting higher and higher. I want to buy a house while I can afford it now. Just say how much you can pay."
Liu Yi frowned, "You have to buy a house?"
"You don't need to stay if you buy it." Xiao Qin'er sneered.
Liu Yi's teeth, stinky lady, knew that he was arrogant.
He thought for a while and said, "Five thousand taels."
Go to hell!
Five thousand taels wanted to send her away.
Xiao Qin'er said: "Do you know how much the house that my sister-in-law bought in the city?"
"How much money can there be, the house in that lot can be up to 100,000 yuan."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "Spent 180,000 taels, and almost never bought it."
"what?"
Liu Yi was frightened.
"Sister-in-law bought a new house two months ago, how much did you say cost it?"
Xiao Qin'er laughed. She was happy to see Liu Yi being frightened.
She raised her volume and said loudly: "180,000 taels. The subsequent reconstruction and decoration will cost more than hundreds of thousands taels."
"Snatch the money?" Liu Yi was angry. "When did the housing prices in the capital rise so expensive? Do you want people to live? I am a majestic man, I can't afford the imperial city and the next apartment, so can anyone else buy it? Can afford it?"
Xiao Qin'er sneered: "There are so many rich people in the world, so naturally some people can afford it. As a dignified son, you don't even have your own independent mansion, so you don't know how to think of a way? Sister-in-law and they moved out early. It’s a pleasure to live behind closed doors. It’s like us, squeezed under one roof with many brothers and wives. What kind of palace is this, it’s clearly a big house."
In Xiao Qin'er's words, they all disliked the palace and disliked Liu Yi.
Liu Yi heard that Gu Jiu spent 180,000 taels to buy a house, his head was big.
When he didn't know, housing prices in the capital rose so sharply, wouldn't this be driving people to death?
He asked: "How much do you plan to buy a house?"
"I don't have money for my sister-in-law, so I don't expect to buy a house with 180,000 taels. But I still have to spend one hundred and eighty thousand."
Liu Yi frowned, "I can only give you five thousand taels."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "Give me at least twenty thousand taels. Otherwise, you will continue to live in the palace with your concubine, and I will live in the new house with the child."
"absurd!"
Xiao Qin'er did not back down.
No money, get out of my mother.
I want to live in my old mother's house without paying a penny, so dream.
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, "I want to find a way."
After speaking, he ran away.
...
The more Liu Yi wanted to be, the more aggrieved, dignified, living so aggrieved, too bitter.
Impulsively, Liu Yi ran to the palace to ask Emperor Wende to complain.
He said how bitter he was with his nose and tears.
Xiao Qin'er wants to buy a house, and his dignified son can't afford to pay, Xiao Qin'er will kick him out of the house and forbid him to live in the new house.
He wiped his tears, "Father, my son is suffering! My son doesn't ask for anything else. My son just wants a place to live and pretend to be the next family. I ask my father to do it."
Emperor Wen De looked at his son with tears and nose, disgusted.
However, Liu Yi's sad look really looked pitiful.
Emperor Wende sternly said, "The dignified prince, ran to the palace and cried out, what kind of style you are. You go back first, I have my own opinion."
Liu Yi looked dumbfounded. He cried so badly that he didn't even ask for a tael of silver.
I feel more sad and sad inside.
After Liu Yi was dismissed, Emperor Wen De ordered the family of Shaofu, and Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple called.
"The population of the palace is so big that it really can't live anymore? What's the situation of housing prices in the capital? How did I hear that housing prices have skyrocketed, and even the prince can't afford it."
Oh, it's not easy.
For so many years, Your Majesty, you can be considered to have a group of sons crowded in the palace to live a life.
Zongzheng Temple Shaoqing Chen Chongwei secretly complained about Emperor Wen De.
After voicing, we still have to tell Emperor Wen De honestly, what is the population of the palace now?
Under each prince, how many sons, daughters, and women...
A series of numbers were thrown out, and Emperor Wen De was stunned.
He moved from the palace to the palace, that is, in the past ten years, he never thought that the palace would have so many people. His son had so many women and gave birth to so many concubines.
No wonder the boss and couple do not return to the palace.
No wonder the fourth daughter-in-law is making a fuss about buying a house and moving out.
It's no wonder that the second daughter-in-law and the second wife are close together, and the couple is no longer close.
Emperor Wen De rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Jianling, can the Shaofu have a spare house?"
The Young Mansion Clan Ling bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qi, yes. It's just that they don't live all the time, and they are a little dilapidated. If you want to reward the princes, you have to send someone to repair and rearrange them."
Emperor Wen De asked directly: "How much does it cost?"
"According to the rules of the prince, to repair the house and rearrange the decoration, at least one hundred thousand taels must be prepared for each house. In addition, the prince's establishment of the mansion, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of officials must follow up. The princes must be arranged for officials, arrangements..."
The young man's family Ling was long and long-winded, and Wende's head was big.
He waved his hand and interrupted the Young Mansion Family Ling's words, "I don't think about the establishment of a mansion for now. I have no plans to give them noble titles."
"what?"
Shaofu Jialing was obviously stunned.
"Your Majesty didn't plan to bestow a nobleman, then, then, is that just simply a reward for the mansion? This is not in compliance."
Zongzheng Temple Shaoqing also echoed: "Your Majesty, this is not in compliance."
The official reward of the palace to the prince is of great significance, how can it be child's play.
Without the corresponding title, what standard should the Shaofu rebuild the mansion according to?
Prince Prince? Shirley? Idle clan?
Different status, structure and size of houses are totally different.
As the saying goes, there is no rule and no circle. This kind of thing is absolutely not trifling.
Your majesty is simply messing up.
Emperor Wende was a little annoyed, "According to the two Aiqing's intentions, if I want to reward the mansion, I must grant the title?"
"It should be so."
Emperor Wende thought for a while and asked bluntly: "Uncle, you will calculate for me, from the eldest to the sixth, how much does it cost to grant each person to the county prince and the mansion? How much will it cost? Overhead?"
Xiaofu Jialing took out the small abacus he carried and fiddled with it.
"From the eldest prince to the sixth prince, the prince of the county, the prince of the county, plus the maintenance of the mansion, the construction and construction of the mansion, the total cost is two million taels. In the future, the court will pay nearly 700,000 taels for the palace each year. etc. The next few little princes grew up and gave mansions to the nobles. The expenses will increase, and they will soon exceed one million taels."
Raising a few sons and grandchildren would cost so much money a year.
Wen De Di suddenly felt a pain.
He waved his hand, "I am thinking about this. The two Aiqings must not disclose the content of today's conversation."
"Weichen follow the order!"
