When Gonggong He arrived at the Hou Mansion, it was already the second half of the morning, inquiring about the princess and asking about the princess's residence, Dan Zhu couldn't help but be tired and personally accompanied him, because he saw the old lady of the Hou Mansion, he only said to let the old lady come over to reply, He Gonggong passed on His Majesty's message, the old lady and her daughter-in-law knelt down to receive the order, and the Hou Mansion also knelt in place.

I heard Gonggong He say in a loud voice what His Majesty meant, the crown princess Shuhe and Duanwan, the woman's virtue is obvious, and the Li family should be respected, Gonggong He saw that the garden had been barren for too long, and even blamed the old lady, such a decaying atmosphere, the old lady was a first-class lady who could not shirk her responsibility, the old lady was dumbfounded, and her own garden was barren and had to be trained?

The old lady said with a smile, "The crown princess has a noble status, which should be respected, and there is a reason why it is barren, and this garden was originally lived in by a long house, and it has nothing to do with our family." ”

Dan Zhu saw that this was really not like this, and hurriedly smiled, "The long house has been broken for a long time, and the Hou Ye is sad in his heart, and he can't bear to move here, but he sends someone to clean it every year, and the palace accompanies the Hou Ye to live in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the house is barren and overgrown, and it is not the atmosphere of being cautious about keeping the house, it is the sin of the palace." ”

Father-in-law He was still very dissatisfied, sympathetic to Danzhu's pregnancy, and asked her to go down to rest.

Father-in-law He only let the old lady accompany him to inspect everywhere, the old lady lived here when she was young, the path is familiar, Father-in-law He was full of interest, looked and looked everywhere, the old lady was tired and her back was sore, and she still did not forget the exploits of the Li family, and said how smart and well-behaved the prince was when he was a child, and grew up on the lap of the old man.

Father-in-law He was annoyed, "The old lady has worked hard. ”

On the second day of the palace, two nurturing grandmothers were sent, but they were to guide and regulate the words and deeds of the old lady, the emperor's grace was vast, thoughtful and considerate, and it really made people grateful, and the old lady also had to learn some rules, and she had no leisure every day from then on.

Danzhu was busy with housework, ordered someone to move the account books to check, the old lady's monthly case of thirty taels of silver, and a variety of expenses, every night with more than 100 incense candles, dozens of at the same time lit, incense candles are actually bright and not extinguished, as well as a variety of precious spices, new flowers, silk satin, rouge gouache, etc., three hundred taels of silver per month can not be beaten, in recent years, there is a trend of getting more and more intense, more and more extravagant, Danzhu saw the eyelids jumped.

How many poor families have never seen three hundred taels of silver in their lives?

So Danzhu rectified the housework, allocated the maids in each courtyard, and when they were old, they were all released to match people, and the old lady and the first thirty maids were mostly released, only six were left, and Danzhu also forgot to help her mother-in-law make up for it, and re-stipulated the monthly silver, Danzhu and Hou Ye thirty taels per month, the old lady was one level higher, forty taels of silver per month, ten taels per month for the son, five taels per month for the two sons, and five taels of silver for several young ladies.

The rest of the expenses are forbidden, the bookkeeper is replaced, and Guo Xincheng's family is knifed, and the facts of corruption are found out.

The old lady was really dissatisfied, she couldn't sleep without candles in the house, and asked her daughter-in-law to try it, and there was no shortage of spices.

The old lady was angry, and the upbringing grandmother in the palace had something to say, accusing the old lady of being unkind and inconsiderate of her daughter-in-law's hard work, and said that no matter the old feudal monarch of that family, forty taels of silver per month was enough, and the old lady ordered someone to talk to Yutan, but Yutan came, listened to the grandmother, and said that she would write a letter to her father and let her father help her grandmother make the decision.

Yutan really wrote a letter to his father, Li Houye was so anxious that he vomited blood, and sent the little guy around him back to persuade the old lady, but the son refused to support him, and the old lady could only endure this breath, from luxury to frugality, and it was not sent in this day.

Then Princess Danzhu was busier, Lanxiangyuan ushered in the crown princess, Princess Danzhu moved to the main house here in order to facilitate the housekeeper, Yufang also moved over to live, helping the grandmother to manage the housework, Yufang's authority is big, the princess relies on her for most things, and has set up two small kitchens, one is in charge of the princess's diet, which is in charge of the imperial chef in the palace, and the other is in charge of the diet of Danzhu and Yufang sisters, the original small kitchen is in charge of the old lady's diet, and the garden is lively.

Danzhu invited Yutan to come over, Brother Jin said those nonsense words again, and cried to find his brother, Danzhu punished Brother Jin to kneel down in front of Yutan, and sent someone to read the family rules of the Li family.

Danzhu ordered someone to pull Brother Jin down first, and then talk about it when he understands it.

"I know that my aunt and grandmother are distressed, but Brother Jin'er is the son of the world, if he is allowed to talk nonsense, it is a sin to be a ginseng with a heart, the words and deeds of the son of the world are related to the fate of the family, he is still young, and it is too late to restrain him."

Yutan was unreasonable, so he had to sigh, "Brother Jin bothered my mother." ”
