Inside and outside the Mansion of the Marquis of Yunping are jubilantly preparing for the wedding, and even if the Marquis of Yunping is not happy, she has to put on a smile, otherwise she is not happy about this family business, how can the Gao family not like it? This is a marriage given by the emperor! Therefore, no matter how unhappy Mrs. Yunpinghou is, she has to hold it, but this cost ......

"Go and ask Master Hou to come over. "Mrs. Yunping Hou sat in the flower hall and counted the accounts, no matter how you look at this account, the bits and pieces add up, it actually costs 50,000 taels? Their Yunping Marquis Mansion has an annual balance of just over 10,000 taels, but it is just a concubine to marry a wife! It costs so much money? When there is a gold mountain and silver mine at home, it is inexhaustible?

Yun Pinghou was in the study, and the newly received maid red sleeves added incense, and was ordered to invite his housekeeper's daughter-in-law to stand outside the study, her face flushed, and she wanted to cover her ears so as to isolate the obscene and glamorous words.

The little servants didn't expect that Hou Ye was in such good spirits today, and smiled bitterly at the housekeeper and daughter-in-law sent by Mrs., "Sister-in-law Liu, I'm really sorry! At this time, we really don't dare to go in and disturb, do you want to come back later?"

Sister-in-law Liu nodded in shame, turned around and staggered away, and the little girls looked at her behind and shook her head, "You say, Sister-in-law Liu won't sue Mrs. Hou when she goes back, right?"

"What are you complaining about, we haven't done anything wrong, but why did Madam send someone to ask Master Hou to do it?" a neat-looking little guy sighed.

"Who knows? These housekeepers and daughters-in-law are not easy to mess with, especially the lady. "The little guy who spoke probably suffered the loss of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and he still had palpitations when he spoke.

"It must be because the fifth prince is going to get married, it's really unexpected! I can let the emperor give me a marriage!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the little servants expressed their admiration, knowing that the emperor rarely gave people marriage, and the five sons of their family were really good fate! Princess Shang! Even if the princess and the prince got married, it was only the Ministry of Rites that sent someone to issue a decree, and the emperor did not ask for marriage.

But it may also be because one of the parties involved is the emperor's younger sister, Princess Qing'an......, right?

"Didn't you say that the eldest princess was pregnant with General Li's child? How could the emperor point out to our fifth prince the eldest princess who was pregnant with someone else's child? Even if the fifth princess was originally a pair with the eldest princess...... "What the emperor did was really ......

"Maybe, perhaps, the eldest princess is pregnant with our fifth son's child?" The little guy who spoke was the youngest and smallest, so he was a little timid when he spoke.

I have to say, what he said was really a word to wake up the dreamer!

Everyone was quiet for a while, if this is the case, it means that the rumors outside are all false, but the reputation of the eldest princess has been ruined, this is ......

"Could it be because only by ruining the reputation of the eldest princess will the emperor agree to give the eldest princess to the fifth prince. "The fifth prince is a concubine after all!

In fact, the princess of this dynasty has declined, and it is not that there is no concubine, but the identity of the eldest princess is different after all, in addition to being the eldest princess, she is also Mrs. Hou, and the person she wanted to marry before, but the general who holds great power, how can the five sons of their family compare to others!

There is Li Jingshi, this pearl and jade is in front, even if Gao Yunpeng is the son of the Hou Mansion, but in the end he is not an official, or a concubine.

Yes! Yes! Li Jing was also the concubine of other people, but they were fighting for their own strength! He has everything he has today, all of which he has worked hard for himself, but what about the five sons of their family?

As a result, he has been the concubine of others for several years, not to mention his reputation, he is a human being, and the five sons have to compete with several men.

Although the little servants are subordinates, they are quite disdainful of the five sons of the Israelite servants, but when they face the masters, they don't dare to show it!

Let them be subservient and curry favor with their masters, that is for the sake of life, but the fifth son of their family is different from them, he is the son of a dignified prince, even if he is a concubine, it is also a high master! Is it necessary to compete with others to serve the eldest princess?

The little guys don't understand, Gao Yunpeng doesn't expect these stupid and stupid people to understand, anyway, no matter what the process is, the result is the most important, the important thing is that the emperor gives marriage, he will become the eldest princess's concubine! He has finally become the rightful male owner of the princess's mansion! In the future, the eldest princess can no longer stuff her head into it!

With him as a man, it's enough!

Therefore, when he heard those subordinates talking about him behind his back, he didn't rush in to trouble them, but just turned around quietly, and saw that the chief of the Hou Mansion was quite surprised, this measure was really beyond the reach of others! No wonder he was able to get the emperor's blue eyes and marry him and the eldest princess.

"Fifth Prince, aren't you going to see Master Hou?"

"No, my father should be busy, I'll go see my mother first, and then I'll come back to say goodbye to my father. ”

The chief manager nodded secretly, he still had an errand on him, so he didn't accompany Gao Yunpeng to see Mrs. Yunpinghou again, but said goodbye to Gao Yunpeng, Gao Yunpeng raised his chin and chin slightly, and the chief manager turned around and left.

Gao Yunpeng asked where his grandmother was, and then went to see his mother.

After listening to the report of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yunping learned that her husband had taken in the maid again, although she was angry, she was helpless to take her husband. "Later, I'll send Mama Huang and Mama Gao to go, and you won't go. ”

"Yes. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Yunpinghou shook her head secretly, her husband's greedy and lustful temperament probably can't be changed for the rest of his life!

When Mrs. Yunping Hou finally waited for her husband to show up, it was already noon the next day, and she was so sad that she was half dead in one breath, but until now, she was too lazy to get angry.

"What is the matter with Madame looking for me?" Yun Pinghou's face was pale, his eyes were dark, his steps were vain, and he looked like he was overindulgent and dead, Mrs. Yunping Hou slandered in her heart, why did she look like she was dead, and she still refused to die?

"Madam?" Yun Pinghou was furious at the sight of his wife's direct eyes, and hurriedly called her.

Mrs. Yunping Hou came back to her senses and forced a smile, "I heard that Hou Ye has taken in the maids waiting in the study again? Those two maids are both good looks that are water and spirit, Hou Ye don't bully people, just forget about their sisters." ”

Yun Pinghou saw that his wife didn't take this matter, he was angry with himself, secretly relieved, and asked with a smile, "Madame is looking for a husband to come over, just for the two of them?"

"Sort of!" Mrs. Yunping Hou took out the account book and showed it to him, and made it clear to him that he could buy better things without spending so much money.

The reason why Yun Pinghou paid so much money to hold a wedding for his concubine was mainly influenced by Gao Yunpeng's aunt. Aunt Li said that her son was married by the emperor, and he was still the eldest princess! So how could he be too simple? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the emperor?

However, Mrs. Yunpinghou did not say that she could not spend so much money on this matter, although she meant so much, but she said it very skillfully.

But mortals have selfish intentions, although Yun Pinghou loves his concubine, but he values himself more, Mrs. Yunping Hou is very frank with him to lay out the facts, not to give him illusory beauty, but real reality. "The emperor values our family, and we can't live up to the emperor's wishes, but we can spend less money and get better results, why should we spend that money to do a lot of wrongs?"

"What do you mean?"

Mrs. Yunping Hou directly showed him the merchant's quotation, and did not specify that the stewards at the bottom fooled him, but it was more lethal than directly naming him, because all the stewards in charge were dragged into the water.

And the most important thing is, "You received the pair of sisters in the study yesterday, since they are new pets, you always have to bring them up to make a room, right?" According to the custom, the maids brought up to make a room to entertain their little sisters, but when they first arrived, how much money can they have on hand? I can't say that the Hou Ye will help them pay for face. ”

"Uh-huh. Yun Pinghou nodded frequently.

"But Master Hou, I'm afraid that the money in our house will not have enough money until the end of next year. ”

Wait, next year?

"Because you have allocated all the money you can use at home to handle Yunpeng's marriage. In other words, if Yun Pinghou insists on slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, then, until the income is collected at the end of next year, the money in the house is very tight, and if he wants to make a face for the newly collected Tongfang, he is afraid that he will not be able to allocate the money.

Yun Pinghou was stunned when he heard this, how could it be, "Doesn't our mansion have tens of thousands of earnings every year?

Mrs. Yunpinghou naturally wouldn't tell him that she had to allocate some money from the public to the private treasury every month, and she also had to save some silver money in case of emergency, for example, at a time like now, to be honest, she didn't want to care about Gao Yunpeng's wedding at all, but who let her two daughters-in-law either happen to be pregnant, or just gave birth to a child in confinement?

Although there is a concubine and daughter-in-law, how can she rest assured that she will hand over this matter, if the emperor dislikes it, it will not affect the two sons.

However, there are many ways to do this marriage, and if you do it according to her words, you can do it on the surface, and you can't find thorns on the inside.

If you do what Aunt Li said, hum, you want to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and you still want to pretend to be a public servant and buy those stewards, when she, the housewife, is a dead person?

In the past, when he was the son of the world, when he was the housekeeper of his own mother, Mrs. Laohou, the family would not pick up from time to time, until his mother passed away, and his wife took over the house.

Thinking about it, he straightened his face, thinking that his wife was selfish and didn't want to give his concubine dignity? He couldn't hide his words, so he asked directly.

"Hou Ye's words are really heart-wrenching! Yun Peng's family affair is given by the emperor, if it is not done well and not decent, this is not only Yun Peng's disgrace alone, but our Hou Mansion has no face! No matter how ignorant I am, I will not do such a thing that harms myself and others. ”

When it came to this, Yun Pinghou naturally had nothing to say, and looking at the data laid out by his wife, although he didn't care about the general affairs, he could still understand how much difference there was between the two accounts, more than 20,000 taels of silver! If he didn't spend all this money, wouldn't he save it?

Mrs. Hou said for a long time, but Master Hou made a quick decision.

Hearing her husband agree to her plan, Mrs. Hou's hanging heart can finally be withdrawn from her stomach.

Mrs. Hou won a big victory here, and Aunt Li was crazy!

Is it easy for her to give birth to a concubine, grow up safely and healthily, and cultivate him to become a talent? Since he was ten years old, she began to send people to inquire outside to see whose daughter was good and worthy of her precious son, but the son told her that he was not in a hurry to get married, and she also agreed with it at that time, because all the people she inquired about were not good enough to be worthy of her son.

It's just that she didn't expect her son to run to be the face of the eldest princess, Aunt Li was at a loss for a while, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't know when she would be able to wait for her son to marry a wife and have children.

Look at the other sons in the house, all of them married wives and had children, but what about her son?

I thought that there were such rumors outside, and the son should be sober, but she didn't expect her son to be kicked out of the eldest princess's mansion, she was happy and worried, happy that her son had finally left the eldest princess, and worried that her son's future was uncertain, without the protection of the eldest princess, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by those villains in the mansion when he returned to the Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually gave him and the eldest princess a marriage, Aunt Li is proud now, marriage is not common!

finally waited until her son was about to get married, and she could make a fortune from it, Aunt Li was still thinking about how much money she could make this time, but she was slapped by reality.

In fact, Aunt Li overestimated herself too much, and also underestimated Mrs. Yunpinghou, thinking that she was an aunt who could only stay in the inner house, and she had no private property, let alone managed the accounts, so she relied on her brother and sister-in-law to give her a housekeeping daughter-in-law.

It seems that her brother and sister-in-law are kind enough to give her a useful helper, but she doesn't know that this person is obviously helping her, but in private he is helping the former master dig up Aunt Li's family.

Aunt Li is just an aunt, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, no matter what, she is always the favorite concubine of the Hou Ye, and there are many good things in her hand, as long as she has a little bit of exposure between her fingers, it is enough for the Li family to eat for more than half a year, but Aunt Li has a son, and the money in her hand has to be left to her son, since it is impossible to respond to her mother's needs, the Li family's brothers and sisters-in-law will spend a lot of money to buy this housekeeper's daughter-in-law surnamed Xu and give it to Aunt Li, in order to ask her to steal Aunt Li's things to them.

The Xu family was just waiting beside a concubine, and no one noticed her, so even Mrs. Yunping Hou didn't know that Aunt Li had been very restless recently, and it was all thanks to this person.

"Mrs. Yunping Hou persuaded Hou Ye to do what she said, so wouldn't Aunt Li be angry?" Li Qianqian and the others who stayed behind felt very bored, so they had a high degree of enthusiasm for the rumors in the market.

Li Qianqian and the others were curious about Gao Yunpeng, so he sent someone to find out about this person's affairs.

But what he found really opened his eyes!

Who would have thought that it was just a little concubine, and she didn't have many assets in her hands, so she could make her brother and sister-in-law go to great lengths to dig up her money?

"What's so strange about this?" Li Qianqian laughed, he was rare and strange. "In the eyes of her brother and sister-in-law, being able to be a concubine for Hou Ye is a matter of accumulating virtue on the ancestors! As long as she dresses up beautifully every day and waits for Hou Ye well, she can eat and drink spicy food every day, and from time to time Hou Ye will give rewards, and there is still monthly money to receive every month, so she doesn't need to spend money at all, what do you do with so much money in your hands? ”

Liu Er and Lan Tang were stupid.

I don't want Li Qianqian to finish speaking, "But they forgot that the life in the Hou Mansion is not easy, and the money in Aunt Li's hand, in addition to the subordinates, also has a son to use! Besides, she is an aunt, no matter how good the mother's family is, the Hou Mansion will not treat them as serious relatives." ”

"That's right!"
