Chapter 22: The Visit
The fourth lady also has to wear the old clothes of her sisters.
Shen Yuntang frowned, "How many silver taels do I have left here?" ”
Wing Chun pursed his lips, "Less than two hundred taels." ”
So little......
It seems that this money is also imminent.
It can't really be reduced to the point of selling the ancestral heirlooms......
Since she is Shen Yuntang now, since she has decided to carry the Yongxing Hou Mansion, she will definitely not let her sisters suffer.
In this era, it is always the most difficult for women to do.
Thinking about it this way, it is good that she has become the prince of the Hou Mansion dressed as a man, at least she does not have to be restrained in terms of communication, and she does not have to be restrained in what she wants to do.
"Wing Chun, in the regulations of the Hou Mansion next to it, the concubines of the mansion use the degree of autumn and winter, you say it, I will listen to it."
Wing Chun didn't expect the prince to ask about this.
But there is nothing to hide, when the lady was still there, the ladies in the house were also the same regulation.
"Jacket skirts in autumn, cotton embroidered shoes, jackets, skirts, capes, sleeves, head and face in winter, about five hundred taels per person."
Five hundred taels ...... The four young ladies in the family seem to need at least two thousand taels of silver.
If it was for the original Shen Yuntang, if he wanted to get two thousand taels for no reason, there might be no other way than to sell the treasures, but for the current Shen Yuntang, two thousand taels is just a matter of whether he wants to or not.
Seeing that the prince did not speak, Wing Chun was worried that the silver money would scare the prince, and she looked up at her master worriedly, wanting to appease her.
But I didn't expect to see Shen Yuntang with such an expression of confidence.
She swallowed her saliva, when Mrs. was alive in the past, the silver was generally from Mrs. Madame's own private property, and later because Mrs. was getting worse, she became pregnant with Miss Four, in order to keep the child in her belly, she ate a lot of excellent medicinal materials, and Mrs.'s private property was also spent a lot.
Otherwise, relying on the integrity of Yongxinghou, how can he afford the expenses of the pampered daughter at home.
It's just that after Mrs. Hou is gone, the Hou family's background is no longer as good as before.
Most of the dowry left by Mrs. Hou was subsidized to the eldest lady who got married.
The rest was divided among the remaining sisters.
"Lord Shizi, do you have a way to make money?"
Shen Yuntang glanced at Wing Chun, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled mischievously.
Shen Yuntang is already good-looking, even if she is dressed as a man, she can't hide her brilliance.
The original owner kept a straight face every day and rarely smiled, just like that, the little maids in the Hou Mansion called the prince "Jade-faced Xiaolangjun" in private.
What's more, the current Shen Yuntang has a moderate demeanor, treats people gently, is delicate and considerate, and sometimes makes humorous jokes and makes the elders happy.
At this time, she hooked the corners of her mouth, a pair of eyes slightly narrowed because of her smile were like crescent moons, matched with her delicate facial features and fair skin, which suddenly made Wing Chun's heart suffocate, and the next second it was suddenly fast.
If she didn't know that the prince was a daughter at all, she would not immediately give up when she laughed like this......
Shen Yuntang, who is dressed in men's clothes, is the kind of warm and sunny handsomeness between teenagers and young people.
There is no sense of aggression, but it is also like a spring breeze, especially when she shows her face, there is always a magic that fascinates people.
When she hooked the corners of her mouth, the naughty arc was probably impossible for the immobile regent to resist.
Shen Yuntang looked at Wing Chun's sudden flushing face strangely, and asked unconsciously, "What's the matter, don't you believe it?" ”
The always calm Wing Chun face was about to burn, and she quickly shook her hand, "No, it's not...... The slave did not disbelieve in the prince. ”
Where is the shy Wing Chun embarrassed to tell the truth.
Wait until Wing Chun and Bai Mei whisper together in private.
Wing Chun didn't hold back complaining.
"Baimei, do you think that the prince seems to be getting better and better-looking."
Bai Mei smiled secretly, "The prince is smiling more and more these days!" But Shizi Ye laughs so beautifully, I haven't seen it before. ”
Wing Chun sighed, yes, it's too good-looking, I didn't see that the big and small maids in the house were okay and secretly looked at the prince.
Bai Mei covered her mouth and whispered in Wing Chun's ear: "If our prince is really a man, I don't know how many women will be sad!" ”
Listening to Bai Mei's words, the corners of Wing Chun's eyes twitched, could it be that the prince's heart is still less than that of those big and small maids who are hurting now......
The post sent to the Zhenguo General's Mansion was quickly echoed.
Early the next morning, Shen Yuntang went to visit the General's Mansion in person with gifts.
I don't know if it's because I haven't drunk that decoction for the past two days, Shen Yuntang's complexion is actually much better than before.
In the past, he was still sick and fell down when the wind blew, but now he really looks like a healthy nobleman.
The Zhenguo General's Mansion is not far from the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
The carriage arrived in only two quarters of an hour.
Changshou was injured, and now he can only be accompanied by Chen Shao when he goes out.
After all, Shen Yuntang is a daughter, and she is afraid of inconvenience, so she brought Wing Chun out this time.
When he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, the porter recognized the carriage of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion at a glance, and hurriedly rushed in to inform the housekeeper.
Shen Yuntang jumped out of the carriage and was invited into the gate by the housekeeper of the General's Mansion.
Bypassing the wall, Shen Yuntang saw a tall man dressed in silver and gray standing on the side.
He was accompanied by a little guy who was always dressed up.
Shen Yuntang looked up at the young man.
The young man was tall and strong, half a head taller than the people around him, his body muscles were full under the long cover, his eyes were thick, his eyebrows were thick, his nose was high, and his black and green hair was meticulously tied behind his head with a jade crown.
He had a clean countenance, and was clearly a cheerful man.
Men are considered heart-pounding men in modern times, the kind full of masculinity.
Presumably this is the grandson of Mrs. Zhenguo, the current Marquis of Zhenguo.
Shen Yuntang is a little lower than the man in front of him in terms of age and title.
Although she came to the General's Mansion to pay respects, she couldn't be rude.
There was a hint of a smile on her jade-like face, and she tilted her head a little mischievously, and then bowed to Jiang Zhenchuan.
