Chapter 223 Confrontation with Princess Ping

Since Princess Ping is in pursuit, as soon as she heard Princess Ping speak at this time, she smiled and cheered one by one: "In previous years, the sister-in-law has always arranged very well, and this year, like in previous years, it will be handled by the sister-in-law. ”

Princess Ping saw that they were still quite good-looking, and they all abstained from voting and did not participate in presiding over affairs, and she was happy in her heart, but she still said modestly: "This is a matter of the clan, how can I have the final say alone, I still have to discuss it together." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The reason why Princess Ping is happy to see them push and give in, because for things like this kind of death day sacrifice, the Zongren Mansion will give a certain amount of money, and there is also money in the Ping Wangfu clan, and in addition, these brothers and sisters will also share some money for the sacrificial matter, and the total amount is not small, if no one is in charge of this matter with her, but she has full authority to deal with it, then these silver coins, in the end, are mostly in her hands, and she only needs to take out a little money to fool around.

For the sake of money, Princess Ping also asked Mu Hibiscus if she wanted to handle it together, so as not to ask the truth one-on-one, afraid that Mu Hibiscus would really respond, and then she would not change her words, so she only said that everyone would discuss it together, but she knew that others would definitely not rob her of this errand, as for Mu Hibiscus, if she dared to rob it, she was not afraid, because she didn't need to say anything, and someone below helped her go back, after all, the sisters-in-law and sisters all resigned, what qualifications did you have to rush forward.

But she didn't have to worry, because Hibiscus wouldn't rob her at all, so when everyone unanimously said that Princess Ping would handle it, Hibiscus also said the same thing.

Princess Ping couldn't help but be satisfied when she saw that Mu Hibiscus didn't grab her, and when she saw that everyone had elected her to handle this matter, she pretended to be warm and smiled and said: "Everyone thinks of me like this, that's okay, I won't shirk it, but although I handle it, I also have to ask everyone to help maintain it, such a big thing, I can't be busy alone." ”

Princess Ping means that I am in charge of the money matter, but the matter has to be done together, Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, thinking about this Princess Ping, when she got married, she was still Miss Guogong, why was she so petty and childish, and she got into the eyes of money.

Mu Hibiscus bets that Princess Ping takes advantage of people like this, even if everyone doesn't say it, they must be unhappy in their hearts, that is, now that Princess Ping is developed, no one dares to say anything, if Princess Ping is down, there will definitely be a bunch of people who will take these things and fall into trouble for her.

Mu Hibiscus thought well, every time she saw Princess Ping's face, none of these concubines or sisters were happy, but everyone didn't say anything, not only did they dare not say anything, but they had to welcome her.

No, one of Zhao Yao's sisters-in-law echoed with a smile: "That's for sure, to sacrifice to the father, everyone naturally has to reach out to help, otherwise only let the sister-in-law work alone, then how can we be happy." ”

Princess Ping smiled when she heard this: "Then I will thank you all in advance." Next, let's talk about the money of this part, everyone, how much is each family this year? ”

"Or is it still like last year, a family pays a hundred taels?" One of the older ladies said, Mu Hibiscus recognized it, it was Zhao Yao's second brother's wife.

Princess Ping shook her head and said: "Only one hundred taels, I'm afraid that the money for the banquet is not enough, you don't know, from last year to this year, our big family, there are many children born, and there are many new daughters-in-law who enter the door, and Tian Ding imports, like last year, there is so much silver, how can the money for the banquet be enough." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and secretly said that this princess Ping's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger, and a hundred taels for a family is not enough for her to take advantage? ! You must know that Princess Ping can't use the excuse of the feast on the day of death can not be big fish and meat, so they are all vegetarian dishes, which can be worth a few dollars, a table of banquets is ten taels of silver, and then King Ping's brothers and sisters are ten, one table per family, a total of only one hundred taels, not to mention that it is impossible to have one table per family, just like that, one hundred taels for one family, one hundred taels for one family, one thousand taels for ten families, and then there is also the sacrificial money given by the Zongren Mansion and the clan, two thousand taels smaller, and then more than this time, because Qingming and New Year are also to be sacrificed, In addition, Princess Xianping's death day will also be sacrificed, and then she can fish three times, and take away 8,000 taels from their families a year, which is really enough, if she is not in power, she has to preside over the sacrifice alone, or if everyone gets it together, it is estimated that no one will have to come out, and after the money given by the Zongren Mansion and the clan is finished, there is still the rest to be distributed to the people in charge, now it is okay, not only can not share the money, but also make up the shares, and make up more and more parts, everyone is naturally unhappy.

Thinking of this, some people looked at Mu Hibiscus, wanting to see what she said, you know, four hundred taels a year are looted away from people, but it is not a small amount, they dare not say anything, they don't know if the newly appointed Linjiang princess dares to say anything, after all, she is the granddaughter of the prince of Changping, and she has a backer than them, if she doesn't want to give, she should dare to say it.

During the Qingming Dynasty before, Mu Hibiscus had just married, and Princess Ping was unhappy when she saw that she didn't take the initiative to visit her, so she was not notified of the sacrifice, or Mu Hibiscus and Zhao Yao privately swept the tomb of the old prince, so Mu Hibiscus didn't know that the sacrifice had to make up money, after all, the clan should pay for the birth, old age, death and burial, and the Zongren Mansion gave money, including the sacrifice, since the sacrifice of the Zongren Mansion gave money, so Mu Hibiscus always thought that there was no need to make up any more money, but he didn't expect to make money.

At this time, seeing Princess Ping asking everyone for money, Hibiscus couldn't help but have a sense of sudden realization, and secretly said No wonder Princess Ping had a bad relationship with herself, she called herself, it is estimated that she didn't call herself last time, and she was distressed without her own money, so this time the relationship didn't get better, and even worsened, but she still called, probably because she wanted to give money, and she had to give more money than before.

Then seeing everyone looking at her, Mu Hibiscus couldn't help but feel funny, thinking that when she didn't involve her own interests before, didn't she stammer with Princess Ping, for fear that if she got closer, she would be troubled by Princess Ping? Now that his own interests are involved, but he doesn't dare to squeak, he expects her to rush forward? This is using her as cannon fodder, isn't it?

Of course, Mu Hibiscus didn't want to give Princess Ping four hundred taels of silver a year for no reason - listening to Princess Ping's tone at this time, it was more than four hundred taels - but Mu Hibiscus didn't want to be a knife in other people's hands, after all, those people were not good to her, why did she rush ahead for them and help them fight for the opportunity to save money, she was not stupid, so she pretended not to see it at the moment, but thought in her heart, she would find Princess Ping in private to "discuss", could she not give money, if the other party forced it, she would let her know, Stealing chickens doesn't taste like rice.

Everyone saw that Hibiscus didn't squeak, and couldn't help but be unhappy, thinking that they had no good backers, and they didn't dare to resist Princess Ping, so they could only admit it, your grandfather is the prince of Changping, with such a big backer, how can you be afraid of her, and follow her like this, isn't it stupid?

- In fact, they know in their hearts that they don't think Hibiscus is stupid, but they think that Hibiscus doesn't rush ahead and resist this, Princess Ping's money is about to be decided, they are going to bleed heavily, they don't want to, so they are not happy, where are they really thinking about Hibiscus.

Because the only hibiscus who dared to resist did not squeak, the others did not dare to refute, even if the matter was settled, so Princess Ping couldn't help but say happily: "Since everyone has no opinion, then a family of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, no problem, right?" ”

In fact, she wanted to rise to one hundred and fifty taels, or even two hundred taels, but she was afraid that it would rise too much at one time, and these people would not be able to accept it.

Sure enough, as soon as Princess Ping's words came out, although everyone was unwilling, they hadn't touched their bottom line yet, so although their faces were ugly, in the end, everyone acquiesced and didn't say anything more.

Princess Ping couldn't help but be happy when she saw that everyone had acquiesced, and secretly said that in this way, she would be able to earn more silver every year, which was really good, so she immediately said: "Since everyone agreed, then hand over the money, and when the money is paid, we will discuss the matter of sacrificial operation." ”

Since everyone agreed, naturally they couldn't go back, but everyone wanted to delay a little time to see if there was a possibility of reducing the price, or go home and discuss with her husband to see if there was a way to save the money, so when one or two said that they didn't have so much money with them and needed to go home to get it, Mu Hibiscus naturally said the same, originally, she needed time to talk to Princess Ping.

Princess Ping didn't object, in her opinion, everyone is doing useless work by delaying time like this, no matter how much they delay, they still have to pay the money in the end, but she is afraid that these people will procrastinate, don't get the sacrifice to start The money has not been handed over, thinking that this can be relied on, so she immediately said: "I will hand it in the afternoon, whoever doesn't hand it over in the afternoon will not use it in the future, I have a lot of things, but I don't have time to wait slowly." ”

"I know sister-in-law." Everyone listened to the second half of her threatening words, and they were full of unhappiness, thinking that after she said this, it would be difficult for them to drag and drag, so naturally they could only agree unhappily.

Everyone left one after another, only Mu Hibiscus did not leave, Princess Ping saw that she was still sitting on the seat and did not leave, she couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Brother and sister, why don't you go to get the silver?" ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Princess Ping's appearance, and couldn't help but say funny: "Everyone knows that with the money allocated by the Zongren Mansion and the clan, it is enough to cope with every sacrifice, and you want us to make up for it in order to dig money from us, how can I agree to such an unreasonable request?" They don't dare to ask you for this, but I'm not afraid of you, so naturally I won't go back to get the money. ”

Princess Ping saw that she didn't want to give her money, so she couldn't help but sink her face, and secretly said that this Zhou Muhibiscus is really the same as her annoying little uncle, she is a door-picker, when Zhao Yao was divided, she held a wine banquet and asked him to give the money for the banquet, but he didn't give it, and now this Zhou Muhibiscus asked her to give money to her share, and she didn't give it, it's really annoying, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door. - Obviously, in the eyes of Princess Ping, she can only rob other people's money, and if others don't rob them, they will be called slamming the door.

So after listening to Mu Hibiscus's words at this time, he said unhappily: "How do you know that the money allocated by the Zongren Mansion and the clan is enough?" It's not enough at all, or why should I let everyone get together? Besides, everyone else has taken it, how can you not take it? So hurry up and get the money, don't let me say it a second time! ”

Anyway, she just insisted that the money was not enough, what could she do with herself?

Mu Hibiscus saw that Princess Ping was lying and not making drafts, and her face was not red and out of breath when she lied, and she couldn't help but say coldly: "Since you insist that the money is not enough, but I think the money is enough, then in this case, I will send someone to talk to the Zongren Mansion about this matter, and let the Zongren Mansion send someone over to check the account books of previous years to see if the money is enough!" At that time, you have to find out that the money allocated by the Zongren Mansion and the clan alone is enough, and you also make money from each family, not only will it be spread out to make you have a bad reputation, but I am afraid that other families will also take advantage of this matter and ask you to return the money, so you have to think carefully about whether to let me take the money or not let me take the money. ”

As soon as Princess Ping heard her say that she asked the people of the Zongren Mansion to come over to check the accounts, she knew that she was relying on her grandfather to be the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, so she dared to say this, if she really wanted to check it, she couldn't please herself, after all, she had always felt that it was impossible for others to make such a request, so this account was done as it was, and when she checked it, she knew that she hadn't spent so much money at all, so if she really wanted to check, it would really be like what Hibiscus said, not only would she lose her reputation, but other families would also come over and ask for a refund - although she felt that not everyone dared to ask for money, After all, some people still want to talk to their own family, how dare they come and ask for it, but what if there are such bold people who can get a lot of money, so they move their minds? She couldn't let this happen, so she couldn't help but say inwardly: "You dare to threaten me!" ”

Mu Hibiscus sneered: "I just don't want to take the money, it's just a very small request, which is why I didn't say this in front of everyone, I have already left you with mercy." ”

In fact, of course, it is impossible for Mu Hibiscus to show mercy to Princess Ping, but she just doesn't want to help others save money, after all, those people didn't help Zhao Yao back then, so why did she rush forward to help them at this time.

"If I really threaten you, not only will I not take the money, but I will also ask you to divide half of the money you have made over the years into my mouth, or I will tell you. So think about it, if you really don't agree, I have no choice but to poke out the matter of going to the Zongren Mansion to check the accounts, and then you don't say that I can't collect more than 100 taels, and I can't take advantage of the other families. ”
