――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Jia Yu took Mrs. Xing, Brother Chun'er Qiao'er, and Aunt Juan and Brother Cong'er away, and the entire East Compound seemed a lot cold and lonely. Fortunately, at this time, Wang Xifeng needed to recuperate quietly, but he didn't think anything of it. Every day, An'er revolves around Wang Xifeng, while Jia Lian has returned to Guozijian to continue studying.

After Daiyu learned that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, she sent Mama Sun or Mama Tang to visit more than once. Wang Xifeng's spirit was much better because of this, but Luohong never stopped.

Huang Jiyun is now a scholar, the prince is too busy, not to mention Daiyu, even Jia Lian is embarrassed to ask him to diagnose Wang Xifeng's pulse again. Fortunately, after half a month, the two imperial doctors finally stopped the redness, and the fetal image gradually stabilized.

Xue Pan also took Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to bid farewell to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang after Jia Yu went to work, and moved back to the Xue Mansion, which had already been cleaned up. Although Mrs. Wang was extremely unhappy in her heart, Mrs. Jia was very happy. After pretending to keep one or two, seeing that the Xue family was really determined to leave, she also ordered someone to take a set of the head and face in her collection and give it to Xue Baochai.

On the third day after moving, Xue Baochai's mother and daughter went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi outside the city under the escort of Xue Pan. Daiyu was very surprised by their arrival, but she was polite to receive Aunt Xue's mother and daughter in the main hall of the inner courtyard.

As for Xue Pan, it was naturally taken by Linde to the village to wander around, and now Daiyu is really inconvenient to receive male guests, but fortunately, Xue Pan is also very sensible now, and he did not do ridiculous things recklessly.

Xue Baochai's senses for Daiyu are actually extremely complicated. These days, I have been interacting with Wang Xifeng, and I can be regarded as knowing that Jiafu Dafang can have the current situation, thanks to Daiyu's help. In my heart, I was even more envious, jealous and admired for Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't think about it so much, after all, she felt extremely sorry for Baochai in her previous life. But when they first met, Baochai's various feelings about her also caused Daiyu to be reluctant to have a deep friendship with her. Therefore, the reception is not enthusiastic, but it is not rude, so people can't find fault. When Xue Baochai's mother and daughter said goodbye, Daiyu also gave a jar of pots of flower brew.

This Baihua Brew and Hundred Fruit Brew are now famous in the capital, but unfortunately these are all brewed by Daiyu with the maid's own hands, and even a thousand gold can not be obtained on the market, Xue Pan heard about it outside, and went home and muttered twice, Xue Baochai was also extremely curious in his heart. I didn't want Daiyu to give it to herself as a gift today.

In the following days, although the Xue family moved away, Mrs. Wang seemed to have less help, but Mrs. Wang still held the power of Jiafu in the palm of her hand again. Even for the sake of Concubine Yuanchun in many cases, Mrs. Jia did not want to conflict with it.

Although Wang Xifeng was unwilling, before Jia Yu and his party left, they took away 30,000 taels of gold from the town house. So far, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia have not known about this matter, and they don't know how Mrs. Wang ordered someone to count the treasury, but they haven't found it. Fortunately, the key to the treasury had been handed over to Mrs. Wang, but Wang Xifeng didn't dare to be too public.

Everything in the capital is very calm, and all the houses have added joy to the past years after the ladies have saved their relatives. But this atmosphere of peace and joy was broken alive after a southeast emergency report.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the day when the mothers of the palaces return to the province, and there are no mothers in the capital, and they are all lively and lively in the Shangyuan Festival, but at this time, the southeast coast ushered in a large group of wolf-like tigers, and even behind these wolves, the shadow of the country of Qianxiang was found.

There are more than 3,000 people in 17 villages in two coastal towns, and none of them are alive, and they can even be said to be left without chickens and dogs. The officers and soldiers of the town guard were defeated, and they were defeated all the way, and only a few people survived.

When the emperor saw this urgent report, he immediately remembered the conversation on Daiyu Zhuangzi a year ago, and even more remembered the song played by Daiyu.

The emperor felt even more angry in his heart, and hurriedly reported that the current Prince of Righteousness, the Seventh Prince, and Huang Jiyun, a scholar and crown prince, were discussing together.

At this time, it is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the noble and wealthy families in the capital, and for the ordinary people living in the capital, it is just a tragedy that happened thousands of miles away, just adding a few words of conversation after dinner.

But for the Annan Palace, it is a rare opportunity, the four kings with different surnames in the southeast and northwest, the king of Dongping County, handed over the military power early, and was a rich and idle person who was attached to the royal family, and the king of Xining and the king of Beijing were also not good. Now only he Nan'an Wangfu still holds the military power, but he sees that it is also in danger, and he can't help but ask for his life despite the dissuasion of the old concubine.

The emperor naturally saw King Nan'an's plan in his eyes, but he did not refuse King Nan'an's request, and ordered him to lead his troops to the southeast within three days to recover the lost territory. Speaking of which, the emperor was about to spit out: expelling the Japanese invaders, but it was changed to annihilating the enemy!

The king of Nan'an County secretly said in his heart: The Japanese are not like the bandit rebels, and they still have to occupy the land as the king, and the people will naturally withdraw from the town after they have emptied the supplies. By the time he arrived, no matter what, those gangs had already run away without a trace, where would they be annihilated? As for the reconquista? I'm afraid that when I arrive, I will take people directly into the city.

So he didn't care about the emperor's tone and expression, and happily took the order. did not wait for three days, and on the second day, the king of Nan'an County took 500 soldiers to the southeast.

The emperor sneered even more in his heart, if it weren't for the sake of looking at the Daming Palace, how could the emperor keep these people until now? At this time, the southeast incident occurred, and the emperor was even more convinced of what Daiyu said that day. Urgently recruited Prince Yi and Huang Jiyun to come to discuss how to make the courtiers offer silver to build a new sailor.

The next morning, the emperor recounted the tragedy that occurred on the southeast coast in a deep voice, and even Prince Yi took the lead in donating money and materials to help the people on the southeast coast rebuild their homes, but there were few responders.

The emperor sat on the high Jinluan Palace, looking at the courtiers who were silent and black, and suddenly became angry, and said secretly: Could it be that I really raised a group of rice worms? It's not as far-reaching as a little girl! Then his face became more and more ugly.

Some courtiers saw that the emperor's face was ugly, and after weighing the pros and cons, they followed Prince Yi's meaning for a while. I don't want this to make the emperor angry!

The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at the courtiers below, and said in a calm tone as much as he could: "Zhongqing loves the people, and I thank you for the homeless, poorly clothed and hungry people on the southeast coast!" ”

The ministers of the court are all human spirits, and when they hear this, they naturally want to show themselves in front of the emperor, such as the father of Concubine Shuhui, who is one of them. I didn't want the emperor to just finish speaking, and without waiting for these people to speak, he suddenly said coldly: "Yes! For some people who wear silk and satin, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but owe money to the household......"

When the emperor said this, he had already exuded bursts of cold air around his body, forcing the courtiers below to dare not breathe, and stood below with their heads bowed. Especially those who still owe money to the household at home, they have a very bad premonition.

Of course, although Jiafu still owes hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it doesn't feel anything bad because there is no one in the court. Even in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, she is already the emperor's mother-in-law, who can do anything with herself?

But unbeknownst to him, the emperor sneered: "Since you have the ability to build a large number of buildings, you don't want to miss the silver of the household department, and order to return the silver owed within three days!" As for the other arrears that were previously repaid according to the rules, it is better to continue to pay them back as they were. ”

The emperor's words stirred up a thousand waves for a while, and the courtiers below were naturally happy and worried, and a large number of people were relieved, except for a few families who had their mothers and returned to Ning Province on the Shangyuan Festival, at least the emperor's request was not to be wiped out.

But at this time, Concubine Shuhui's father once again stood up for fear of chaos in the world and asked for donations for the people of the southeast. Naturally, the emperor would not refuse this. The other ministers, whether they owed silver or not, were all vying for the corresponding at this time, and when the court was dispersed, although the effect was not as good as expected, they also raised more than 400,000 yuan, and of course the father of Concubine Shuhui donated 100,000 taels of silver.

Although Jia Fu got the news that night, except for Jia Lian, no one paid attention to it. Mrs. Jia only gave Mrs. Wang two words, and then ignored it.

The next day, Mrs. Wang learned that Concubine Shuhui's mother's family had donated 100,000 silver, but her heart immediately made waves, if she couldn't take out the silver, wouldn't Yuan Chun be pressed by the Wu family of Concubine Shuhui in the palace? Mrs. Wang was immediately very dissatisfied with this, but Aunt Xue's family had already moved out, and she didn't have so much money in her hands for the time being.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang thought of getting some silver from Wang Xifeng, after all, as the daughter of the Wang family, the dowry was still a lot of silver. According to Mrs. Wang, the arrears of household silver should have been returned by the big house, and she had even repaid a lot for the big house, which was very benevolent and righteous, and the rest should be returned by the big house.

Although Jia Yu is not here, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are here! Although Mrs. Wang also knew that it was impossible for Jia Lian and his family to come up with 300,000 taels of silver, if they could make up more than 100,000 taels, Mrs. Wang was also extremely satisfied. Therefore, Mrs. Wang made up her mind that she had to let Wang Xifeng come up with a sum of money no matter what.

And Wang Xifeng didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would come to her for the matter of repaying the debt, after all, when Jia Lian came back to say before, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were somewhat unimpressed. The husband and wife thought that no matter what, if Mrs. Wang really ignored it, they would have to pay off part of the arrears of the household.

Wang Xifeng tore his face with Mrs. Wang because of the Yinzi money before, although he was able to repair a lot because of the Chen family, but there are things that can no longer be concealed.

When Mrs. Wang proposed that the two or two rooms owed in the mansion were half of each half, Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, but her face frowned slightly: "The master is a cloud knight, and he only pays a few hundred taels of silver a year, and the master's silver is also handed over to the mansion." Now the second aunt let us give half of it...... Isn't it that the second aunt wants to split up? ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang said a word, she was choked by Wang Xifeng half to death, and she didn't want Wang Xifeng to continue: "If that's the case, you have to invite the old lady back, and the old lady will be successful." Now that my second aunt is telling me about this, I can't be the master. ”

Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "When did I say that I would split the family? Didn't you think about this day for a long time? ”

Since Mrs. Wang said this, Wang Xifeng naturally would not fall into her trap, so she smiled and said: "Look at what the second aunt said, we still understand the truth that the elders are not separated. It's just that this matter is not something that I, a woman, can call the shots, why don't I wait for the master to come back and send a letter to the master, and ask the master to come back to discuss? ”

When Mrs. Wang heard Wang Xifeng say this, she frowned and muttered for a moment: "Now that the saint has made a simile, he will return the arrears within three days, and today is the second day, even if it is too late to write a letter now." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang paused, and then continued very unwillingly: "You have also been a family for a while, and you should know that the silver in the Xiuda Guanyuan Mansion has almost been emptied, but now it can't take out that much. I thought that we should get together some first and return the household, and I thought that we would do our best, and for the sake of the mother, I would not be too guilty. ”

Wang Xifeng sneered in his heart when he heard this, but he made a deep groan on his face, and finally called Ping'er in embarrassment and ordered: "Go and bring my silver box." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard her tell Ping'er like this, she wondered in her heart: Could it be that this Ping'er is like a mandarin duck in the old lady's house in her room?

As soon as I thought of this, I heard Wang Xifeng say very tiredly: "The old lady didn't have much silver taels when she went to office, and she knew that it was difficult in the house, and she never took it from the public like the second master went to work, and I took my brother and sister together, so my dowry was almost converted." Now I don't have much in my hands. ”

As he was talking, Ping'er came over with a sour branch wooden box. Mrs. Wang saw Wang Xifeng take out a small key from under the pillow to open the lock on it, which dispelled the doubts in her heart. Looking at Wang Xifeng now, it really doesn't look like prevaricating himself.

Who knew that Wang Xifeng actually took out a stack of silver tickets in the box, counted them carefully, and Mrs. Wang could see clearly, more than eight thousand four hundred taels. But Wang Xifeng thought about it but only took out three thousand taels and handed it to herself, and Mrs. Wang suddenly said angrily: "Now that the house is difficult, do you still want to hide your secrets?" ”

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng suddenly lost his face, and immediately locked the silver ticket in his hand back into the box, and then said coldly: "In the end, this is my dowry, but no matter how much I owe, I shouldn't have paid it back." I still have to live with my master, and my master's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone alone is a lot of expenses. The regular silver in the house is completely insufficient, and I have to make up for it. ”

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Besides, this in my stomach will also cost money in the future." ”

Mrs. Wang was angry in her heart, but she couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, so she had to say stupidly: "Three thousand taels is three thousand taels!" I had to figure it out. As he spoke, he took three thousand taels of silver tickets and left.

Mrs. Wang said in her heart: Something is better than nothing, and there will always be a day when you will vomit! Who knew that Wang Xifeng actually asked Ping'er to send pen and ink, and wrote a receipt of 3,000 taels by hand, and had to ask Mrs. Wang to sign before giving the silver ticket. (To be continued.) )
