Chapter 43: I Care
"Erlang, Erlang, I can't bear this day."
Second Mrs. Cheng said that she stopped crying at home, and her face was angry.
"The Zhou family is sincere, to Jiao Niang."
Second Master Cheng has been silent with a calm face.
10,000!
As a low-grade magistrate, he only earns ten guan a month, of course, if he really relied on ten guan, he would have starved to death, but if all the money is counted, this ten thousand guan is not something that can be earned in a few years.
10,000! The Zhou family is really rich! Just throw it to this fool!
"Did you really build a house for those people?" He asked.
"I don't know if I give it to those people, but it's really building a house." Second Mrs. Cheng said, gritting her teeth anxiously, "What kind of house to build!" We have a lot of houses, so it's good to buy a shop to make money! ”
10,000! That's 10,000!
"No, before you really cover it, you have to quickly appease her and coax her back." Second Mrs. Cheng said.
Cheng Er's face was even darker.
"What a joke! It's not enough for you to let Qi Niang coax her, let me coax her too! I'm her son. He said, flatly refusing.
"To coax her is to coax the Zhou family, to coax her to marry a good family..."Second Mrs. Cheng said, speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I forgot to reply to the people of the Qin family!" Hurry, hurry, don't wait for people to leave. ”
She said and got up.
"I don't care, it's already like this anyway, I must not let Jiao Niang marry the Wang family! I'm going to see the people of the Qin family. ”
Second Master Cheng hesitated.
"Then, then just say goodbye to the Qin family, okay?" He said.
"Why not! Your daughter. It's up to you to decide what she's doing. Nothing else counts. Second Mrs. Cheng said. While anxiously asking the servant woman to come and wash her face, comb her hair, change her clothes, and go out, she didn't forget to instruct, "Go and coax Jiaoniang." ”
10,000 times...
Second Master Cheng sneered.
"It's more than 10,000! Erlang, you have to look at the long term! Second Mrs. Cheng turned around and said.
Second Master Cheng sat silently and didn't speak, his expression changed.
"It's just 10,000!"
On the other side, Master Cheng once again angrily overturned a few cases.
The sound of clanging reached the courtyard.
"There is no shortage of firewood in the kitchen today," whispered two servant women in the courtyard behind them.
The servant woman in front coughed and looked at them with a bit of warning, and the two of them hurriedly shrank their heads.
"The Zhou family can throw it however they want, will we still be distressed?" Master Cheng said.
10,000 times...
Mrs. Cheng held her hand in her heart silently.
It's a bit distressing.
"Forget it. She can make trouble as much as she likes, do we as elders have to make trouble like her? She finally said, exhaling, "It's just a few days of trouble, the momentum has passed, and if you get married next month, it's just that, and this time won't be much waste." ”
It's nothing if it's all ruined, it's just 10,000 times, but it's nothing. Anyway, it's not from their family, it's not too distressing, it's just a pity.
When it comes to money, people always have to worry about it. After all, having money doesn't necessarily mean everything, but it's really hard to move an inch without money.
At this time, the people who are distressed for money are not only the people of the Cheng family, but also the Qualcomm people in the capital are also frowning.
"Is it really that serious?" The concubine held the stove in her hand, wrapped in a big cloak and walked with him on the way to the Empress Dowager's palace, and asked, "Isn't it just a Taicang Road transfer division?" ”
"In the past few years, our family's focus has been on grain merchants." Gao Tongshi frowned and said, sighing while twisting his beard, "This time it's really a big loss." ”
"He's so powerful with Feng Lin? You didn't give him a word? The concubine said, a little disapproving.
"It's kind of shooting yourself in the foot." Gao Tongshi said, "Originally, I asked Taicang Road to think of his own ideas, but they actually wanted to kill people and set fires, and after thinking about it, they thought about it, and it was nothing, but the fire set people and didn't kill them, and now it's all over the place, who dares to interject, Feng Lin is waiting for someone to come forward, he has to bite off a piece of meat to relieve his hatred, and then fulfill his loyalty, righteousness and integrity, and now the people have reincarnated Feng Lin who has boasted of Qingtian, and after this errand, it is difficult to reward him with public opinion, if I speak again at this time, it is purely to give him a foothold." ”
"That's a big loss." The concubine shook her head and said, "Didn't my grandfather say that in order to make a lot of money next year, he even used most of the family property to store grain, just wait for the price of Taicang Road to rise sharply this winter and let the people force the court to open a warehouse and parity the price, so what should I do now?" ”
Qualpass spat out.
"What else can I do, just stay put." He said, "At this time, how many people are staring at the slightest disturbance on Taicang Road, ready to reap the benefits from it, not to mention that our family is a thorn in everyone's eyes, not to mention other people, Chen Shao and those people probably don't even sleep, just waiting for me to come out." ”
"Forget it, don't get into trouble." The concubine hurriedly said, "If you lose the money, you will lose it, don't bother the eldest prince, now Your Majesty loves the second prince more and more, but we can't have an accident in our family." ”
Qualcomm exhaled and didn't speak.
He naturally knows that the eldest prince is important, but that money is also important...
Originally, when the official granary ran out of grain, he would be able to make a windfall on Taicang Road in the spring and summer of next year, and half of the family property could be exchanged for one and a half family properties, but now his thoughts are in vain.
Grandfather was already lying down angrily at home.
"It's really unlucky, who the hell smashed that stone on the feet of those wastes on Taicang Road!" He said indignantly, "Passerby! How could it be so coincidental! ”
While they were talking, they had already walked to the front of the Queen Mother's Palace, and when they heard the children's laughter, they stopped talking and looked over.
The second prince walked in front with a smile, followed by the king of Jin'an County slowly, and then the eldest prince followed with his face.
"Brother, do you want to come with me?" The second prince looked back at the king of Jin'an and asked.
"It's all your fault, I let Your Majesty torture my homework yesterday, and now I have to wait to endorse Your Majesty, how can I go?" King Jin'an said.
The second prince grinned and reached out to pat the arm of King Jin'an.
"Brother is not afraid." He said.
"I can memorize that textbook, who told you not to memorize it for so long." The eldest prince interjected.
"Your Highness. You carry it fast. I don't dare compare myself to you. You have one day, and I have three days. King Jin'an touched his nose and said with a wry smile.
The eldest prince immediately smiled happily.
"Mother, tall man." The king of Jin'an County saw the two people who stood on their feet and was busy giving salutes.
The eldest prince and the second prince also stood still.
"Where is Sixth Brother going?" The concubine asked with a smile.
"I'm going to pick some plum blossoms for the queen mother." The second prince raised a smile and replied, "Do you want it?" ”
The concubine shook her head with a smile and reached out to stroke the shoulder of the second prince.
"The sixth brother is so filial, always remember the queen, that's really good. Thank you, Brother Liu'er, for giving me some too. She laughed.
The second prince nodded and left happily.
The king of Jin'an also gave a gift and walked away.
The eldest prince Shi Li raised his feet to leave, but was stopped by the concubine.
"Where are you going?" The concubine lost a smile on her face, looked at him and asked.
The eldest prince looked a little timid.
"I, I'm going to read my homework," he said.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the concubine.
"What homework do you read, and what else do you do besides your homework?" She whispered.
The eldest prince was so frightened that he trembled, and Gao Tong was busy.
"Your Highness, the weather is good today, why don't you and the second prince go and pick some flowers and send them to Your Majesty." He reminded with a smile.
The eldest prince looked at the concubine timidly.
"Don't go yet!" The concubine raised her eyebrows and shouted, reaching out and poking his forehead. "I can't even compare to a child's heart, it's really stupid!"
The eldest prince looked a little flustered, wanted to cry, but didn't dare to hurry, and chased after the second prince according to his words.
The concubine exhaled with a bit of melancholy.
"Alright. Children teach slowly, which is also our eldest prince's pure and upright. Qualcomm said.
The concubine snorted, what to say, the people in the palace here had already greeted her, and the two stopped talking and walked in.
The king of Jin'an on the side retracted his gaze and walked with his feet raised.
"Your Highness, are you going out today? After reciting this article, Your Majesty is happy, let's go out for a walk? The chamberlain said with a smile.
The king of Jin'an County is happy and Shan.
"It's not fun to go out." He said.
"Your Highness, since the Cheng family's lady left, you haven't been out of the palace." The chamberlain said, "How boring. ”
"It's not boring, it's good." King Jin'an said.
The chamberlain couldn't help but laugh.
"What you smile at, I know what you think." King Jin'an glanced at him and said, while flicking his sleeves behind him, "That's right, there was no such person before, I felt bored in the palace, and I had a good time going out, and then I recognized this person, even more so, so she is gone now, and she can't see her when she goes out, in the palace or outside the palace, it's the same for me." ”
The chamberlain nodded or smiled.
"You don't understand that." The king of Jin'an County glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, it is the same whether you see it or not, so it is the same if I don't go out or not." ”
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and shook off the waiter.
The chamberlain laughed even more.
"I really don't understand, it doesn't seem to be the same thing as this." He laughed, thinking of something again, "I just don't know how that lady feels now?" But are they all the same? ”
………………
"Lady, this is the dowry list, this is the paperwork of the shop and the land."
Steward Cao pushed over a few papers.
"When I came, the lord was afraid that the lady might be able to use it, so he asked me to bring it with me."
Cheng Jianniang nodded, and did not reach out to pick it up.
"In that case, I'm getting married now, so go and give me some money." She said.
Sure enough, it's so neat, and it's going to be grabbed directly.
I really didn't expect this little lady to do something about the dowry so quickly, looking at this little lady's style, she didn't care about the money, did the Cheng family really anger her this time?
Banqin said that the lady was in a bad mood, why was she in a bad mood?
Steward Cao shook his head and didn't think about it, a woman's heart is difficult to guess, let alone the mind of this little lady, what he wants to know is that the Cheng family is in a bad mood when he bumps into the lady, so this time he is going to be unlucky.
It's definitely not so easy to get it when you go to the door like this, but there's no need to worry, since the lady has already raised her sickle, it will definitely not be empty.
"Yes." He leaned over and saluted.
