Huangfu Jingxian returned to the courtyard of the third room, his wife Qin hurriedly brought her daughter to meet her, since her mother-in-law Liu was sent to the Huixin Courtyard, for more than two months, Qin and Huangfu Jingzhang's wife Zhu can be regarded as living three meals a day can be eaten on time and on time, the original yellow and thin face looks slightly plump, and the eyes also seem to be energetic.

"Master......" "Greetings to my father...... Qin and her daughter Huangfu Yuting stepped forward to say hello. Huangfu Jingxian's eyebrows tightened and he snorted coldly, not giving his wife a good face at all, as for his daughter Huangfu Yuting, because her appearance is just a Chinese asset, it is impossible to climb the powerful with a good color in the future, so Huangfu Yuting's daughter is just a money-accompaniment in Huangfu Jing's eyes, and he is more and more unreasonable.

Qin saw that her husband didn't even look at herself, her heart was sour, she gave birth to her daughter nine years ago, she broke her body, and since then she has lost her blood and can no longer give birth, since then, she has never gotten her husband's good face, and even the daughter who gave birth with her life is not welcomed, Huangfu Yuting is obviously a third-room concubine, but her life is not as good as a second-room concubine.

"Mother......" Huangfu Yuting saw that her father's face was getting worse and worse today, so she pulled her mother's sleeve and whispered timidly. Qin's heart was sad, but he had to fight his spirit to comfort his daughter, and said softly: "Sister Ting, go back to the room to do needlework, and my mother will go back to see you." Huangfu Yuting responded quickly in a whisper, and walked back to her room quickly next to the wall, really embarrassed by her tightly wrapped three-inch golden lotus.

"Sir, please have tea." After returning to the upper room, Qin hurriedly poured tea and held it in front of Huangfu Jingxian, who did not reach out to take the tea, but only said in a deep voice: "Hold, the master has something to say to you." ”

Qin Shi was shocked, and secretly said that he didn't fall in love with that girl again? Last time, Huangfu Jingxian said that there was something to discuss, that is, he wanted the Qin family to open her face to have sex with him, but the poor girl had already shown her in-laws at home, and she had begged to be in front of the Qin family, and the Qin family also agreed, but because of Huangfu Jingxian's words, the maid no longer had the future of being a lady in the main house, and the maid was also a fierce one, and she refused to withdraw from her relatives when she died, and she didn't want to embarrass her wife, so she actually crashed to death on the wall wall in the three-room courtyard. For this matter, Huangfu Jingxian was also very angry with the Qin family, and smashed several antiques of the Qin family. Since then, Huangfu Jingxian has not mentioned the matter of accepting concubines, but he has never rested in Qin's room.

"Please show me." The Qin clan forced the hatred in his heart and asked in a low voice. The maid who died that day was the most important one for the Qin family, and she was killed by a headlong collision, and the Qin family was sad for a long time.

"How much silver do we have in total for the three rooms?" Huangfu Jingxian asked lightly.

The Qin family was stunned by his question, since the monthly money of Huangfu Jingxian was all held by himself, and all Qin had was her own monthly silver of twenty taels and her dowry. Twenty taels of silver per month is not enough, if it weren't for her dowry and one or two hundred taels of silver every month, the Qin family would really not be able to survive in Wuguo Mansion. There are also one hundred and ten taels of silver turnover in the account of the third room every month, and there is nothing superfluous in addition, Qin Shi didn't understand why her husband suddenly asked about the money, but he still replied timidly: "Back to the master, there are still sixty or seventy taels of silver on the account." ”

"So little!" Huangfu jumped up in a hurry, not believing his ears at all.

"Back to the lord, the three rooms get back two hundred taels of silver from the house every month, including monthly silver and daily use, the lord's fifty taels of silver are your own collection, the concubine is twenty taels per month, Yonghei and Yuting ten taels each, the total of the people in the courtyard is twenty taels, and the remaining ninety taels are used for daily expenses, the lord has to spend sixty or seventy taels in addition to the monthly silver every month, sometimes as many as one or two hundred taels, it is inevitable that there are some things that eat grain, although there is no big thing in the August Festival this year, but there are also a lot of silver uses, So now there is only a balance of sixty or seventy taels in the account. "The Qin family is a good housekeeper and a good hand at managing accounts, and the written accounts are clearly organized, which makes Huangfu Jingxian more and more embarrassed, and his originally white skin immediately turns purple.

"How do you manage the family, now the eldest brother has sent someone to ask for the dowry of the first wife and sister-in-law, and the house is desperately scraping together, you go and prepare five thousand taels of silver, lest the eldest brother sue the emperor for this matter." Huangfu Jingxian said quickly, got up and walked out, the chair in the upper room seemed to have extremely sharp thorns, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

"What? You're not kidding, sir, are you? The dowry concubine of the first lady and sister-in-law has not even received half of the eldest son, how can the concubine be asked to pay for the silver! "The Qin family does not have the love of her husband and is not favored by her in-laws, and all she relies on is the dowry worth about 30,000 taels of silver that her mother's family gave her when she got married. The Qin family had already thought about it, and when her children grew up, they would divide the dowry into three equal parts, each of the children would get one, and the remaining one would be kept for her retirement. But now her husband asked for five thousand taels of silver when he opened his mouth, which was like cutting her heart with a knife, and the Qin family would really rather die than give out this silver at this time.

Huangfu Jingxian, who had already walked to the door, immediately turned around violently when he heard his wife's words, glared at the Qin family angrily and shouted: "Presumptuous, you are the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Wuguo, you have to bear this matter, I think you have learned three from four virtues in vain, and you don't even understand how to marry and obey your husband!" ”

Qin's body trembled violently, and he looked at Huangfu Jingxian's eyes in a daze, tears dripping like raindrops. "In the past, I only said that my sister-in-law was so bitter, but now I know that my sister-in-law is so blessed." Qin Shi muttered, his body fell on the chair, Huangfu Jingxian snorted coldly, pushed open the door and strode out. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin family still had a lot of dowry, and it had been running very well, there was always an income of two thousand taels of silver every year, and Huangfu Jingxian would have benefited a lot, otherwise he would have learned from his father's actions back then and took his family's treasure back to the Gongfu Mansion to straighten it out.

After Huangfu Jingxian left, a pair of his children, the twelve-year-old Huangfu Yonghei and the nine-year-old Huangfu Yuting cautiously slipped into the upper room, the two children saw their mother sitting on the chair without moving, tears like a spring, and soon wet the clothes of the front placket, the two children were frightened, Huangfu Yuting immediately pounced on the mother and called the mother to cry, Huangfu Yonghei was angry, and the hatred on his face was extremely strong.

"Mother, he asked you for silver again!" Huangfu Yongji clenched his fists tightly and asked angrily. Huangfu Jingxian would change his method every month to pick out some silver from the Qin family, and all his sons and daughters knew about it. The Qin family has already separated from her husband, so she naturally wants to cling to a pair of children, so she never hides anything for her husband, especially in front of her son Huangfu Yonghei.

"Yonghei, the house embezzled the dowry of your first grandmother and first aunt, and now your uncle has come to ask for it, and your father has forced his mother to take out 5,000 taels of silver to fill the hole for them." Qin didn't hide it at all, and learned her husband's words word for word.

"Why, we haven't seen a penny of the dowries of the first grandmother and the first aunt, and my father is too unreasonable!" The thin Huangfu Yonghei's face was flushed with anger, and his clenched fists were waved heavily in front of his mother.

Qin looked at his angry son and crying daughter, and the thought in his heart, which was not very clear, resurfaced. Acting like the Duke of Wuguo's mansion will be defeated sooner or later, and she will have to find a way to survive for her two children.

"Yonghei, immediately think of quietly going to your little uncle and ask him to pick up his mother and return to Ning." Qin took a deep breath and finally made a decision. Once this step is taken, she and his children will never turn back.

Huangfu Yonghei nodded and said in a low voice: "Mother, my son understands, the guards in the palace have become more and more lax these days, and my son can easily slip out." "Since the Duchess of Guo was sent to the Huixin Courtyard, and the Grandpa Guo was imprisoned in Dali Temple, the hearts of the people of the Wuguo Mansion have been scattered, and they still look on their errands, but they don't need to be at all, and the people in the mansion are looking for a way out, so there are more and more people who sneak out of the mansion day by day, and those guards don't even see it, and they don't even ask, so the emperor will say such a thing.

Qin nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Yonghei, after seeing my little uncle, give him this bracelet from my mother, don't say anything to your aunt and cousins." As he spoke, Qin removed a green jade bracelet that he had worn on his wrist for decades, this bracelet was not a high-quality jade, and the workmanship was not very fine, but this was Qin's most cherished piece of jewelry.

Huangfu Yonghei solemnly took the bracelet and hid it in his arms, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, my son will definitely be able to handle this matter." ”

The Qin family looked at his son lovingly, touched his face, and said softly: "Yonghei, my mother will never let you and your sister suffer in the future." ”

Huangfu Yongji looked up at his mother-in-law, and said solemnly: "Mother, my son learns from his uncle, and he will definitely have a future in the future, and his son will protect you and his sister." ”

Qin nodded, looking at his son's still immature face and injured expression, he was really sad in his heart.

Huangfu Yongji originally regarded his father as an idol in his heart, but just over a month ago, this tall and majestic idol collapsed. On that day, the Emperor Fu Yonghei, who had slipped out of the Wuguo Mansion to play, saw a scene that made him almost go crazy with anger. He saw his father holding a five or six-year-old boy in his left hand and a beautifully dressed woman in his right hand into Bazhen Tower.

The little guy who followed Huangfu Yonghei pulled him with all his strength and dragged him to a secluded place, which shows that this little guy knows the inside story. Huangfu Yonghei asked carefully, almost madness......
