Chapter 312: Fall
The door of the Marquis Mansion of Guangping is closed, few people enter and exit, compared with the lively before, now it can be said that there are few in front of the door, and even the little women who enter and exit are quietly entering and exiting from the corner door, and they don't even dare to raise their heads, they also know that the Hou Mansion has fallen now.

In the past, the courtyard in and out was also deserted, Guangping Hou Xue Maoye was lying on a recliner, he tried to sit up straight, and looked at his sons and daughters-in-law with an indifferent and solemn appearance, so as to teach them not to underestimate the majesty of being the ruler of the Hou Mansion because he was sick, but the corners of his mouth and twitching hands that kept twitching betrayed him, making his appearance look a little ridiculous.
He stiffened his neck and said in a somewhat shrill voice: "What about the third daughter-in-law, why haven't you seen her coming!" "Since the abolition of the princess and returned to the Guangping Marquis Mansion, she has no identity as a princess, so she has to become the third lady of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, but this third lady has made the Guangping Marquis Mansion very sad.
Originally, the Marquis of Guangping Mansion was already in debt for Princess Shang's bride price, and sold all the grange shops, and the chewing of the mansion became a problem, counting on Xue Maoye to get a decent errand, and counting on Xue Wenhao to be a colt to help out, but Xue Maoye was close to King Kang, not only lost his errand, but now I don't know if he will be implicated, and Xue Wenhao has long been locked up in the edict, and he may not even be able to save his life. At this time, there is an extra third lady, which is nothing more than an extra waste that consumes silver and grain, which is not helpful at all, but this third lady is not a good person.
Chen said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid I haven't come here yet." Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't stand up to go back and forth to Xue Maoye's words, so she could only half-lean back in the chair.
Or Yao sneered: "Hou Ye doesn't have to wait for the third lady, she is only afraid that she will still think of herself as the eldest princess, these days in the Hou Mansion to beat slaves and scold the maids, and also dislike the food in the house, I am afraid that I will remember the brocade clothes and jade food in the eldest princess's mansion again, and I dislike that our Hou Mansion can't serve her." Her words were full of bitterness and meanness, since the day of the fight, she was making trouble to split up, and was bumped into by Xue Maoye, who returned from Datong, Xue Maoye was angry and let Xue Wenqing kneel in the ancestral hall for seven days, and all the money in the second room was detained, Yao's family was even more faceless in the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't even say a word, so angry that her heart hurt, and she hated the waste princess, if it wasn't for Princess Shang to provoke so many things, how could the Guangping Hou Mansion fall to this point, and the second room would not have nothing.
Xue Maoye was so angry that he panted, stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at the door: "Go, go and call her to me, since it is the matter of the Hou Mansion, if she wants to stay, she has to, she has to abide by the rules!" "It's not that he doesn't want to drive the waste princess away, but he can't be careless, after all, the waste princess is the royal bloodline after all, if there is any harsh abuse in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not anger the clan and the palace, so such a baby can't be blown and can't fall in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, they have to continue, and they don't dare to provoke her too much.
After a while, the waste princess was late with the girl, she had a reluctant expression, and walked in step by step with her head held high, and she didn't look at Xue Maoye, who was staring at her dissatisfiedly on the upper deck chair, and had no intention of saluting at all, walked to the place and sat down, and said impatiently: "What is it that wants to disturb my nap, do you have to invite me to come?" She came to the Guangping Hou Mansion for a few days and was very dissatisfied, the courtyard wings of the Qiongbi Courtyard are too small, the utensils used are also ordinary, and the food and clothing are even inferior, even the girls and grandmothers of the eldest princess's mansion can't eat up to it, teach her how to stand it, but now she has nowhere to go, she can only grieve herself to stay here, and after a while, the queen mother is angry, and she will still regain her princess status, and she will not come back here if she invites her again.
Xue Maoye's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, and he watched the waste princess grit her teeth for a long time before suppressing her anger, and glanced at Xue Wenhuai, the prince of the world: "Tell me." "Since the epidemic, his body has not been as good as before, and he has been poisoned by Mei Lan and the others, and he is even weaker, and he still can't get up and move around, so he doesn't have the strength to talk to them too much.
Xue Wenhuai slowly swallowed his feet and stood up, and said to the second and third rooms in his usual gentle tone: "Everyone knows the situation in the Hou Mansion, and now there is no silver to support so many servants, not to mention that the third child is still in the edict prison, and I don't know if the Queen Mother will ask for guilt, so the Hou Ye discussed with me, and planned to sell some people, and also convert a few idle courtyards in the Hou Mansion into silver, so that I can make future plans." ā
Sell people, sell courtyards? For a while, the Yao family and they were all stunned, and couldn't help but look up at Xue Maoye on the recliner with his eyes closed and a gloomy face, they couldn't believe that the Guangping Marquis Mansion had really fallen to this point, all the noble mansions in Kyoto value face the most, even if they are poor and white, as long as they can barely survive, they will not sell their subordinates openly, let alone sell the courtyard in the mansion, that is tantamount to telling everyone that this mansion is completely ruined, and they can only rely on selling the mansion to survive, and no one will look down on them in the future.
Xue Wenhuai's voice was also much lower: "This is also a last resort, after all, the situation in the Hou Mansion is now in a recession, the shops in the grange have been sold, and there is no money to enter, so many people are waiting for silver, but there are so many people in the Hou Mansion, it costs too much every month, so the strong man has to break his wrist." ā
Xue Maoye slowly opened his eyes at this time, and glanced at his sons and daughters-in-law: "This is already a helpless thing, you don't have to say much, just listen." It's just that the people who want to sell, the yard that you want to discount, you have to negotiate it, and let people arrange it early tomorrow morning. "There are no taels of silver left in the public account, and if you don't come back as soon as possible, everyone in the whole house will have to drink the northwest wind.
Chen glanced at his husband, and then continued: "There are now more than 30 girls and maids up and down in my yard, and Ming'er sent half of them to take the deed of sale to Ya Pofa and sell them." ā
She also knew that at the moment, the Guangping Marquis Mansion would not be able to survive without selling people and yards, and she was the wife of the prince of Changfang, so she had to speak first to bear the brunt, so she simply said, and it was enough to leave a dozen people to serve.
Xue Maoye said coldly: "Where can I leave a dozen, leaving two or three for you is already reluctant, if you are not pregnant and want someone to serve, I am afraid that you will not even be able to keep these few." ā
Chen's face turned slightly pale, and he lowered his head and did not speak again.
Yao's voice was raised at this time: "What is this going to do, I have five or six girls who have married me, is it possible that even they are going to be sold, and it is difficult for the rough mother-in-law in the kitchen to be sold, so we will have to cook by ourselves?" "She planned to take the girl's mother-in-law to go out of the house, and be a housewife comfortably, and she would not be implicated in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, but now it is too late to regret it, she should have known that Xue Wenqing should insist on breaking up the family.
The new third lady had never spoken, she was just lazily eating tea, using refreshments with a picky and disgusting look, and she didn't care about what was in front of her, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
