"Master, Shui Yueju has sent two months' worth of moon silver over there." Red Rui came back from outside and went into the house to show her light.

"Just keep it." Fiddling with the newly made bow and crossbow in his hand, he didn't raise his head and said a word.

"Master, will the Prime Minister's Mansion send moon silver to the master in the future?" Hongrui asked casually with curiosity.

"Just send it." Never care about these trivial things.

"The Wing King Mansion is so big, and a lot of people need to be added." Hongrui is worried about the lack of human manpower.

"Just move in and have it." Carefully observing the manufacture of the bow and crossbow in his hand, I don't know if this repeater meets his own requirements.

"The relocation is a big deal, does the master want to feast guests?" Hongrui asked again, the banquet guests need to send posts in advance, prepare the ingredients needed for the banquet, there are too many miscellaneous aspects.

"Not please." Why do you want to invite others to a banquet when you move your own house, no matter how much money you have, it's not such a waste.

"However, if an official gives a gift to the door, he will leave without even having a meal, and the master will not become a big laughing stock in Beijing." Hongrui is anxious for the master, and the relocation is a major matter, and it must not be sloppy.

"No one will come." I don't think any official will salivate and send congratulatory gifts, her personnel in the court are not so good.

"According to the old calendar, it is necessary to choose an auspicious day and an auspicious time to set off firecrackers, and the banquet guests are also flowing water seats, and there are comings and goings, isn't it all officialdom etiquette?" Hongrui knows that the master doesn't like to be noisy, but the matter of moving the house really can't be simplified, jokes are one thing, and bad luck is the point.

"Whoever gives a gift will be dismissed." There is no merit, but I don't want to move a house and get into trouble, and the official is jumping out and shouting, purely to block himself.

"How offensive is this?" Hongrui said bitterly: "Other officials are enough, if the officials of the Ministry of Industry come to congratulate, the master will also send them out?" "Is there such an enemy?

"I don't know where the gifts were dug up, how many people's fat and people's ointment were looted, and I didn't think it would dirty the Yiwang Mansion if I received it." The most annoying thing about the relocation banquet.

"The master made up his mind not to do anything to avoid dissatisfaction from many parties. The master still asks the emperor. "Maybe the emperor is willing to do it, Hongrui thought.

"Hmm." Respond casually, listen without hearing, and stare at what you have in your hand.

Hongrui sighed, the master was obviously perfunctory. The master's reluctance to hold a big banquet is indeed going to be held, and the emperor must very much want to hold a family banquet in the Yiwang Mansion.

"In addition to the things used now, they will all be moved over tomorrow, the master will take the time to go to the new mansion to take a look, the plaques of each courtyard have been taken down, and the emperor means to let the master mention it himself." Hongrui said some necessary things, "After the master is named, he must make a new plaque as soon as possible, hang it on an auspicious day, and put a red cloth on it to show good luck." ”

"Hmm." He put down his crossbow and stood up. Walk to the window and look out into the courtyard.

"Master, Shui Yueju may take the opportunity to intervene." Hongrui reminded, "Does the master want a small punishment and a big precept?" "Aunt Liu, who is not used to seeing foxes and fake tigers, owes a lesson.

"Ouyang Ye will take care of it." Don't worry about Aunt Liu being able to pop up.

"The master is not afraid of the Prime Minister's ......" Hongrui only confided in half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence did not need to be explained.

"Him?" chuckled: "Ouyang Ye's brain is not rusty. He knows best what to do and what not to do. ”

Hongrui is relieved, the master's ability is obvious to all, and the prime minister will not be ignorant of current affairs and do ridiculous things.

"How is Hongming's side?" Feel free to ask.

"One qiē as usual." Hongrui contacted Hongming, "Doctor Xu Xiaotai has lived up to the trust of his master, he has figured out the number of ways, and he can deal with it with ease." ”

The smile remains the same. Xu Mian's personality seems to be quiet but is actually lively, which is most suitable for managing the forbidden army that was beaten badly.

Ouyang Ye returned home, and after dinner, the little servant Ah Yuan stood on the side with his head down. The things in the mansion.

"My aunt asked the master, is the moon silver of the Wing King's relocation the mansion as before?" Ah Yuan replied truthfully.

Ouyang Ye was stunned, he had never considered such a matter, in his opinion, this matter was up to Aunt Liu's own discretion, and he should not be asked.

"Aunt Liu mentioned the dowry of the Wing King again." Ah Yuanjian did not return. Then he added, "Aunt Liu means that the sooner you prepare, the better." ”

"Heh" Ouyang Ye sneered after hearing this, "She is afraid that the meat bun will beat the dog and there will be no return." Aunt Liu's careful thinking, there is no need to guess what is written on her face.

Ah Yuan didn't have the right to speak, and stood quietly to the side and listened to the instructions.

"The moon silver is still as for the dowry." Ouyang Ye was stunned, did his titular concubine still use his nominal father to prepare a dowry? The emperor will definitely not treat his daughter badly, if he is not prepared, once the rumors outside are spread, it will not be of much benefit to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and people need to be careful if they are terrible.

is spreading the matter of father-daughter discord, regardless of whether he has a basis or not, the people will not distinguish between them, and if there is such a big thing as a dowry, Ouyang Ye does not have to guess the consequences, it will not be much better.

"Ready." What can be done, who is called his own daughter, Ouyang Ye showed a helpless sneer.

"Yes." Ah Yuan responded, and was going out to reply to Aunt Liu.

"What is missing over there is Aunt Liu." The superficial kung fu can't be left behind, Ouyang Ye just cares about the silver now, and he has to take it out with a smile, or say that he slaps his swollen face and becomes fat?

"Yes." Ah Yuan took down the master's words and withdrew.

Aunt Liu learned that Ouyang Ye had returned home, and she refused to rest, so she asked Wang Ma every once in a while to see if Ah Yuan was here, in order to wait for the news, she drank strong tea and insisted, and it was strange that she couldn't sleep tonight.

"Ma'am, rest early." Wang Ma persuaded, "Ah Yuan is here, there are slaves and maids." ”

Aunt Liu didn't say anything, yawned twice in a row, her eyelids were fighting and sleepy, and she insisted on waiting until Ah Yuan came to talk back.

"If Xiangye is tired, Ah Yuan may not go to disturb, after all, it is not a big deal, and it will not be delayed to report tomorrow morning." Mother Wang saw that Aunt Liu couldn't hold on, and persuaded again and again.

"Okay." Aunt Liu really couldn't wait, and complained in her heart that Ah Yuan was procrastinating.

Ah Yuan didn't put off the matter until tomorrow morning and came back, knowing what Aunt Liu's temper was, he didn't dare to delay coming to Shui Yueju.

When he arrived outside the door of Shui Yueju, Ah Yuan didn't plan to go in to reply, but only stood outside and called Wang Ma out.

Mother Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ah Yuan coming, and finally waited for it to come, Aunt Liu had just fallen asleep, and she was up again when she heard the movement. There is a lot of inconvenience in the big night.

Ah Yuan got straight to the point and said: "Aunt Liu asked about the matter, the master has already sent a message, the moon silver is still the same, and Aunt Liu is diligent in the dowry, and everything that should be prepared is prepared." Yiwang moved to the mansion and needed Aunt Liu to help her more, and she needed to make up for what she lacked. ”

"This ......" Wang's mother sank when she heard this, how could Aunt Liu rest in peace when she heard this.

"Bring the master's words, and the small ones won't be left." After the words fell, Ah Yuan turned around and left, leaving the stunned Wang Ma in the courtyard.

After a long time, Wang's mother relieved herself, looked at the house, sighed and entered the house, and said in her heart Aunt Liu didn't know how to make trouble after hearing it, she was really sad, and she couldn't sleep at night.

"Who's out there?" Aunt Liu sat up and asked when she heard a voice.

"Ah Yuan is here." Mother Wang carefully observed Aunt Liu's expression. Standing sideways on the side of the bed, a little away from the edge of the bed, for fear that Aunt Liu would grab the pillow on the bed and throw it out in a hurry to avoid harming herself, and take precautions in advance.

"What did you say?" Aunt Liu looked at Wang Ma with an eager face. It's not in vain to wait for so long.

"Ah Yuan gave Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye sent a message." Mother Wang hesitated for a moment to remind Aunt Liu first, don't be really angry, "Madam, you also know, Xiangye has always been lenient to King Yi. "I mean that Aunt Liu's previous calculation is about to come to naught.

Aunt Liu's face turned gloomy when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What did the master say, I want to listen to the original words." "Even if you guess the situation is not as good as expected. Still not giving up and trying to confirm again.

Wang Ma didn't dare to hide what Ah Yuan said and told Aunt Liu as it was, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Aunt Liu's face that was about to erupt.

"Bastard!" Aunt Liu was so angry that she grabbed the pillow at hand and threw it out, "What kind of thing is she, she wants me to prepare a dowry, and she wants me to paste it upside down, phew!" ”

Wang Ma stood aside and did not make a sound. Because Aunt Liu vented the resentment in her heart, not only did Aunt Liu not get angry, she herself felt that this matter was too outrageous, why should she take the family's money if she lived in a separate mansion and had an official position and a fortune.

Aunt Liu threw it around, throwing pillows and kicking quilts. When there was nothing left to throw on the bed, it finally stopped, and the pillow quilt was a mess under the bed.

Wang Ma bent down and picked up the pillow quilt on the ground and put it on the bed, and then spoke: "Madam, does Xiang Ye have any scruples, do you think that the Wing King is also Xiang Ye's concubine, before the marriage, the moon silver was broken, and it became a laughing stock, Mrs. and endure, seeing that in one year the Wing King and Lu will have to be married, and naturally Mrs. doesn't have to worry about it anymore when she gets married, she has endured it all these years, a year is nothing, and it has passed in the blink of an eye." ”

"What about the dowry, how much is appropriate?" Aunt Liu is not distressed about the moon silver, and it is not much to ten taels of silver per month, plus the miscellaneous ones are only a few dozen taels, the problem is that the dowry costs a lot, the dowry is the façade of a woman marrying into her husband's family, and it is also the face of the woman's mother's family.

"This, the slave maid can't say." This is the truth, who knows what kind of family the Wing King can marry in a year, and what kind of dowry is the most suitable to prepare.

"Why don't you ask Xiangye?" Seeing that Aunt Liu frowned and couldn't make up her mind, Mother Wang said, "Xiang Ye said the number, and Mrs. prepared according to the number of silver coins Xiang Ye said." ”

"What does the master know," the daughter's dowry was not prepared by herself, Ouyang Ye didn't let out a fart, Aunt Liu didn't want to provoke Ouyang Ye, but she wanted to be scolded.

"Then prepare large farm tools first, and small pieces of clothes and jewelry will be thrown to the Wing King to find a way to find out when the time comes, and if the Xiang Ye wants to ask, he will say that the lady is afraid that what he has prepared is not in line with the Wing King's wishes, and he is afraid that he will waste time and silver in vain, so he will ask the Wing King to choose it himself." Wang Ma came up with an idea and said, "Madame only needs to take the rest of the large items and let the Yiwang take care of it himself, so that no one will have to offend, and Xiangye will not blame Madame for not being dedicated." ”

"You're talking lightly." Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "A large piece of farm tools costs a lot of silver, is it to prepare red sandalwood, huanghuali or something else?" "The most expensive is the red sandalwood, I am really reluctant to pay this silver, and I am reluctant to use it myself, let alone use it for others.

"Madame, don't care about these, King Yi is the only concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the quality of the dowry is related to the Prime Minister's face." Wang's mother deliberately reminded Aunt Liu not to play tricks in this matter.

"Humph!" No matter how angry Aunt Liu is, she will not really make a fuss about the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she really wants to be the first one to eat and hang up, and if she can't get the worst of being expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no place for her, and outsiders even point to her scolding for being unvirtuous and immoral, bullying her daughter, how can she live.

When Wang Ma saw that Aunt Liu listened, she secretly said Amitabha. Don't go wrong in big things, Aunt Liu is still a concubine now, and she can't even reach the status of the main room, so she is too careful to have an accident sooner or later. Fortunately, I have time to mention one or two, and at the critical moment, I'm afraid I'm not in a hurry.

"Madam, do you need to prepare a congratulatory gift for the relocation of the Wing King?" According to common sense, it is necessary to prepare, and the relocation of the government is a major event, and it must be celebrated.

"What!" Aunt Liu's heart was dripping blood when she heard that she was going to give out money again, isn't this going to kill herself, she has worked hard to save some belongings, and she is about to be hollowed out, how can she do it.

"If you don't give it, why should you prepare a gift if you are a house. What a rule! Aunt Liu's face turned sideways, she didn't pay a penny.

"Madame doesn't want to go out of the prime minister's side, I'm afraid I have to prepare." Mother Wang knew Aunt Liu's temper, and she turned around to explain the facts, don't go to the pass Aunt Liu is stubborn and makes Xiangye unhappy.

"How can there be any family preparation for gifts?" Aunt Liu was very puzzled. It's all.

Aunt Liu was born in a small family, and the etiquette that is valued in the big family is rarely fully understood, so Wang Ma thought about it and persuaded her, "Madame should think about it for Xiangye, there are many adults who come to the door for banquets in Yiwangfu, and their faces are dull if they don't prepare for etiquette." ”

"This banquet should be presided over by the lady in charge, and the Wing King is young and does not know why. If you don't look foreign, you will lose the adult. "Mama Wang is talking about things I heard from other places.

"You mean the ...... of the Wing Palace" Aunt Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, if she could really preside over the banquet, even if it was just for a while, she would be able to grow a lot of face, and she would be able to show her status in front of the official wife, and she would think about it for a while.

"The slave is not sure." Wang Ma didn't dare to talk too much this time. The previous thing was not in vain, and this time it will not be possible, and I will have to be beaten up.

"What's uncertain." Aunt Liu has already decided that the relocation banquet is such a rule.

"Madame, why don't you ask Xiangye, what do you want to do?" Mother Wang didn't dare to persuade at this juncture, and Aunt Liu had an expression that must be so. It's useless to say anything, and the best way is for Xiangye to come forward to solve it.

Aunt Liu can't listen to anything now, and the beauty of the Wing Wangfu frequently appears in her mind, it is the Wing Palace, the palace is exposed, and she has not visited it seriously.

Mother Wang saw Aunt Liu's thoughts drifting to somewhere, and sighed countless times, why did she remember to eat or not, she was still angry about the matter of the Wing King just now, this will be like this again, and her heart is broken.

Mother Wang really couldn't bear to interrupt Aunt Liu's daydreaming, so she had the courage to pour a basin of cold water on Aunt Liu in advance in order not to be angry.

"Madam, the Wing King's side may not agree." How much the Wing King doesn't like Aunt Liu, everyone in the house knows it, Aunt Liu's idea is so stupid, Wang Ma has to reiterate the uncontrollability of the whole thing, Aunt Liu woke up early and didn't think about what she shouldn't think, so as not to get angry again.

Mother Wang forgot about it at this time, but she mentioned it herself, and Aunt Liu couldn't imagine such a thing.

Aunt Liu immediately froze with a smile on her face after hearing what Wang Ma meant, how could she forget that the Yiwang Mansion is the territory of the cheap girl, and the cheap girl has taken Pinglan Yuan to death, to the point that no one can set foot on it, so wouldn't the Yiwang Mansion be even worse?

The joy dissipated instantly, and Aunt Liu pulled her face and didn't want to say a word, why was she so unlucky, and none of the good things were on her own.

"The matter of the relocation of the Wing King will definitely be discussed with his wife." What is said is that the discussion is actually an order, and the princess will change the acceptable word and say it beautifully.

"Forget it." Aunt Liu was hit by the flip and lost her mental strength, and her body felt sleepy as soon as the stimulant passed.

Mother Wang saw that Aunt Liu was tired, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madame is tired, and rest, and think about it tomorrow." While helping Aunt Liu lay the quilt, she said, "Madame, don't worry, as the old saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a way." "Aunt Wang helped Aunt Liu lie down and tucked the quilt.

Aunt Liu didn't speak, she was heartbroken, and it was completely useless to say anything, but she sighed how hard she worked, and she was such a bad star as the Wing King.
