Chapter Ninety-Seven: Revenge

Concubine Qian Shufei calmed down and said, "Fan Butterfly, as soon as I enter the palace, you will serve me." We have been from a family member to a family together, and we have become nobles, Shuyuan, concubines, and now we are one of the four concubines. I'm now the number one person in the palace. I have power in my hands. I know you've saved a lot of money over the years. But these things, you stay in the palace, there are so many rules, there are also none. It's not as good as this, I have been rewarded by the emperor here over the years, and the people below are filial, you know, there are a lot of things, and I am ready to ship them out quietly. Half for you, half for my mother's family. When the matter is done, I will give you a decree to leave the palace and let you go home and get married. This was originally the power of the four concubines. When the time comes, you will have money in your hands, whether it is to buy a house, a field, or a shop. You can get married, or you can raise a child as an heir, and you can live a prosperous and peaceful life for the rest of your life. Okay?"

Pink Butterfly listened to Qian Shufei's words, and her heart moved, as if she had opened a door for her. The life of the pink butterfly was desperate, but it suddenly opened a door. Concubine Qian Shu is right, as one of the four concubines, she is fully capable of giving her an order to leave the palace. There are many palace maids in the palace, and every year they can be reported to the queen by the high-ranking concubines, or the imperial concubines who manage the harem, and release those elderly palace maids out of the palace. After these palace maids leave the palace, they can marry freely, and when they leave the palace, they will also be given fifty taels of silver and ten horses of silk, which is regarded as a reward.

It's just that most of the palace maids are reluctant to leave the palace. Because of the age, after leaving the palace, they can't get married, so they can only rely on their parents' families, and most of the palace maids' maids are poor, where are they willing to support more people. Even if you have fifty taels of silver, how long can you live? What should I do when the money is spent? They have been in the palace for so many years, and most of them can only serve people, where they have a skill, so they are reluctant to leave the palace. Second, there are also some craftsmen, such as the needlework room, after leaving the palace, whether they are embroiderers in the eunuch's house or working in the embroidery room, they can survive, but most of these people are not good. Because of his long-term career in the palace, he is used to a prosperous life, and after returning to the ordinary, he always can't adapt. There are also some people who are unladylike, married to non-people, deceived by money, and become destitute. Therefore, most of the palace maids are old and dead in the palace, and they are reluctant to leave the palace.

In the past, Pink Butterfly didn't want to leave the palace like them, but now the situation is different. Seeing that in the palace, their masters and servants have no future. Since the new concubine came, the emperor has never come to the concubine's dormitory. The concubine who fell out of favor was the most sad. The days ahead will be harder and harder. Pink Butterfly has a lot of possessions in her hands, but she can't use them for anything. For example, the gemstone hairpins and gemstone collars rewarded by the lady concubine dare not be used, because the rules in the palace are strict, and there are regulations on which level to wear those jewelry, so the pink butterfly can only be put up, not worn. But if you are out of the palace, then the sky is high and you can swim, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.

As for what other palace maids are worried about, the problem of money, and the problem of life after leaving the palace, she doesn't have to worry about it at all. For the goods in her hand should be worth four or five thousand taels of silver when converted into money. Of course, this money is not enough for her to live in the capital. But with this money, when I arrived at Qian Shufei's mother's house, in the area south of the Yangtze River, Qian Shufei's family took care of it, bought a small house, and bought more than 100 acres of land, which was completely enough to eat. I was able to live the life of a small landlord. At that time, if she meets a good person, she can get married, but she is used to seeing the prosperity of the palace, and she can't look down on ordinary men, so it is better to listen to Concubine Shu's arrangement, and live a man and a woman, it is enough to live, and she will rely on her when she is old in the future. Don't be afraid of men cheating her out of her money.

Besides, Concubine Shu also said that she would give her half of Concubine Shu's property. Oh my God, how much does that have to be? Concubine Shu has been favored in the past few years, plus she is pregnant three times, and she congratulates inside and outside the palace, and I don't know how many gifts she has given. The emperor also rewarded him a lot. There was also the little princess who was favored by the emperor before, and there were many rewards, and there were many things in the palace, but now that the little princess is gone, naturally everything is the concubine's. How much does this concubine have to have?

Of course, Concubine Shu said that this net worth was half for her and half for her mother's family. She's not greedy about that. She knows Concubine Shu's net worth best, I'm afraid she knows better than Concubine Shu herself, because these things are kept by her. Roughly calculated from the net worth of 200,000 taels of silver, she didn't dare to imagine that she could get half of this, as long as she could get a net worth of 50,000 taels of silver, only a quarter, she could buy one or two thousand acres of land in Jiangnan, this is a rich man. How good it is that she can live in the second half of her life.

But after living in the palace for so many years, Fan Die knows what to say and what not to say, she said to Qian Shufei: "Niangniang, Fan Die is Niangniang's person, naturally what Niang Niang tells Fan Die to do, Fan Die will do it, don't talk to Fan Die about going out of the palace and dividing property." Pink Butterfly listens to Niangniang, even if Niangniang asks Pink Butterfly to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Pink Butterfly will never hesitate. ”

Qian Shufei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Fan Die, don't worry, you and I are like sisters and depend on each other, I will definitely arrange your future life." As long as you do what I tell you with peace of mind, when the matter is done, I will naturally send you out of the palace, and I will arrange for someone from my mother's family to take care of you. For my sake, my mother's family will definitely take care of you. My life is over, but I hope you can start a new life and jump out of this fire pit in the palace just so that I can live a happy life. ”

After hearing this, Pink Butterfly cried: "Pink Butterfly is unwilling to leave the palace, Pink Butterfly wants to serve her mother for the rest of her life."

Qian Shufei said: "When things are done, I don't have to worry about it, and I will naturally arrange my own affairs, so I don't need you to serve you." Forget it, this is all for later, I have a few things to do at the moment, you go and do it first. ”

Pink Butterfly wiped her tears and asked, "What do you command?"

Qian Shufei said: "I'll repair a book later, and you can take it to my family outside the palace, and ask them to send someone to Beijing and transport my belongings out little by little." First, I sold it to my family, and second, let them buy you an industry in Jiangnan. After the letter is sent, you take care of the things, and pick out the good and valuable things that are not easy to sell, the things that are given by the emperor, and I will give them as gifts. ”

Pink Butterfly was surprised: "Gift-giving? Who are you going to give it to?"

Qian Shufei said: "First, give gifts to the imperial concubine." I want to take refuge in the imperial concubine, and with her help, I can have the opportunity to bring down Wan Guifei, and the most hopeful person in this palace is the imperial concubine Niangniang. Second, I want to give gifts to the new favored concubines, who are lower in status than me, and I will definitely be able to take the initiative to get close to them. Observe a lot and see if you can find a helper to deal with Wan Guifei together. ”

Pink Butterfly understands now. I thought deeply about Qian Shufei's calculations. cheered up, according to Qian Shufei's arrangement, first went to deliver the letter, and then, carefully sorted out the gifts, and accompanied Qian Shufei to give gifts.

Intrigues are brewing in the palace, and outside the palace, Chen Wenhui has already met the Hu family with his mother Bai. The Hu family finally chose to live in their mother's family, the Hu family. Although, Mingzhu and his wife must go to Mingzhu's house to live. But Mingzhu lives with her mother-in-law's family, and the Hu family doesn't think it's convenient, so she still lives in her mother's house.

Bai said to Hu: "It's also right that my sister lives in her own mother's house. The daughter has her in-laws in the hall, so it's better to avoid it. However, the incense of relatives from afar, this is not a place to live for a long time. In my opinion, it is better for you to buy a small house in the capital, and it is convenient for you to have your own place to live, watch your daughter, and go back to her parents' home. ”

Hu thought it was: "What my sister said is very true. That's what I mean. I still ask my sister's housekeeper to help me find a small house, preferably close to Mingzhu's house. In the future, after a hundred years, Mingzhu just wants to expand the house a little, and there is no need to buy other people's houses, just take my house directly. It's not wasted that way. Originally, I could have asked my son-in-law to show me the house, but Mingzhu would definitely buy it for me with his own money. In fact, in the past few years, she has managed the family business very well, and her son-in-law's official son has become bigger and bigger, and she doesn't care about the money, but I still want to buy it myself. You also know that although the house in the capital is expensive, I have no problem buying a small house. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "Your idea is very right, so let's do it." Although Chen Cai of my family is not at home, the stewards in the underground have also been trained, and there is no problem in doing such a small thing. ”

Wen Hui said: "Aunt Hu, I have arranged your errands, and the hospital in the capital has also been established, and you still have to preside over it."

When Hu Shi heard this, he was very happy and said, "Hui'er still understands my heart." I don't dare to say it, but there is no problem in giving free medical treatment to the people in the hospital. The pearl of the hospital has already taken me to see it, and it will be completed in about half a month. I'm going to go inside for a free clinic. This time, I also brought two apprentices with me. The rest of the apprentices stayed in Jiangnan. After all, hospitals in Jiangnan are also short of manpower. ”

Wen Hui said: "Aunt Hu, I have a Jianyi, why don't you continue to accept apprentices in the capital, so that not only can you treat the people, but your apprentices can also treat the people in the future, isn't it very good?"

Hu smiled and said, "That's what I thought."

Everyone laughed.

In the evening, Wen Hui returned home and was about to go to bed, when the master Wu Lixia said to Wen Hui: "Hui'er, I have something to tell you."

Chen Wenhui was curious: "What is it?"
