Since the Song Dynasty was enshrined as the commander of the horse and Zhao Yuanzhen was the princess of the feudal Yuan, it has only been a few days, and the threshold of the Horse Mansion has been broken, and every day there are officials of all sizes who come to the Horse Mansion to give gifts.

court officials, such as Taishi Cai Jing, Taiwei Su Yuanjing and others; And the petty officials, like the Fenglilang of Taichang Temple, the doctor of law, the teachings of the Tai Academy, Xuezheng, the medical officer of the Hanlin Medical Center, etc., and the more funny, a colonel surnamed Song in the patrol battalion, not to say that he is the same clan of the Song family in Yangzhou, his hometown Jingzhou Song family and Yangzhou Song family are in the same vein...... Well, anyway, a school from Jiupin has a relationship with the Horse Mansion.

In addition to the two Taishi Cai Jing and Taiwei Su Yuanjing, and court officials such as Zhang Bangchang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the Song Ting personally received them. Others, such as petty officials below the fifth grade, all four retainers received them. It's not that he looks down on people, after all, he himself is only a small lieutenant from the fifth grade, but there are too many people, he is really overwhelmed, and the guests are mainly concentrated on the third and fourth days.

The four retainers who worked for the Song court were all given by the emperor himself. These four people used to be petty officials in the Ministry of Rites, Gonghu, Hanlin Yuan and other places, and now they are the princess's retainers.

These four people, named princess retainers, are actually staring at the four pairs of eyes that do not conform to the rules of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and they will return to the palace once a month to report to the emperor. Speaking of which, it is simply to raise four minions for the emperor.

The first of the four retainers, named Lehe, once served in the Ministry of Rites. The other three, whose names are Zou Rang, Yu Qian, and Shi Shi, are all old guys who are particularly strict about etiquette and etiquette.

On the fifth day of Song Ting and Zhao Yuanzhen's stay in the Horse Mansion, a woman in her thirties came from Jingzhao Mansion, Qin's family, with a cloth skirt and hairpin, and the charm still exists, with a teenage and a half-year-old son named Qing'er, I don't know where to hear the news that Princess Yuanzhen and the horse tied the knot, and rushed to the Horse Mansion to run.

She claimed to be Princess Yuanzhen's former nurse, and of course the two little maids guarding the door didn't believe it and wanted to drive her out......

Xiaoman's personal maid Hongzhu happened to bump into it, and immediately scolded the little maid, and brought the Qin family to Zhao Yuanzhen to meet her, but she didn't expect that it was really the nurse who had breastfed her.

Zhao Yuanzhen has no other relatives in the palace, but he has a very good impression of this nurse, the two met, Zhao Yuanzhen was pleasantly surprised, and was busy inquiring about the situation of Qin's nurse, but it turned out that Jingzhao Mansion went to the year of the flood, Qin's husband was washed away by the flood, and after a year of filial piety, the Qin family had nowhere to go, and when he heard the news of the ninth princess, he came to Beijing to join her.

The Qin family said on the one hand, and on the other hand, Qing'er, who was stunned by the luxury of the Horse Mansion, was at a loss for what to do, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the princess, Zhao Yuanzhen listened to her situation, couldn't help but shed a few tears, helped her and Qing'er, and immediately took her into the kitchen as a kitchen cook, responsible for the food of nearly fifty mouths in the whole house, and called two maids to support her. As for that Qing'er, for the time being, let him follow his mother first, and arranged a room in the west for the mother and son to live in.

Those who came to the Horse Mansion to celebrate, in addition to officials large and small, even some royal relatives also came. For example, Zhao Yuanli, the eighth prince of only 500 fiefdoms, and the sixteenth princess Zhao Yuansha, Zhao Yuansha is only fifteen years old this year.

Speaking of which, the gift given by Zhao Yuanli was really a bit shabby, and it was only two boxes of ginseng, and he had to give him a heavy gift, and when Song Ting dealt with the worship post with Zhen'er at night, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and couldn't help pinching his waist and reminded: "Xianggong, are you still smiling?" We're even more pitiful than others, we don't have a fiefdom......"

After listening to the words of the princess's wife, Song Ting really couldn't laugh, the emperor's father-in-law sent a princess's mansion, four retainers, and twenty maidservants, which looked very favorable? No, in fact, it is simply favoritism, speaking of which, among his children, no matter how miserable it is, there will be no fiefdom. The most miserable eighth prince Zhao Yuanli has 500 households, and Princess Yuanshan, who married to Guangxi, also looks miserable, but the marquis married by Princess Yuanshan, how to say that there are 1,800 fiefdoms, and the days are quite rich.

His princess wife is good, she doesn't even have a fiefdom, isn't this called favoritism? Without fiefdoms, there would be no taxes, no taxes would be no money, and there would be no money to feed four retainers, twenty maidservants, and a dozen servants, as well as Youjian, Xiaoman, Qingzhu, Xueyan, and Lu Junyi, Yanqing, Qin, and Qing'er...... Nearly 50 families up and down the entire Pony Mansion?

When he saw Yan Qing pushing a cart out to buy vegetables, Song Ting finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and there were nearly fifty people...... Suddenly becoming the head of the family, he suddenly became a little at a loss, and he scratched his head every day and thought hard, is it better to "lay off employees", or to open up sources and reduce expenditure?

After thinking about it, Song Ting already had a little idea and plan in his heart, but he still went to discuss it with the princess's wife.

"Zhen'er, there are a little too many people in the house...... Do you think so? ”

"It's not much, I heard that there are fifty or sixty people in a county official's family, and there are more than 3,000 people in my father's palace...... This is our Horse Mansion, and there are only forty people, which is not much......"

The two of them held on to the railing in the small attic, silently watching Yun Shu and holding each other's arms, Song Ting looked at the people who came and went in the house, and said first, who knew that the princess's wife would answer like this.

So, Song Ting simply said directly: "We don't have a fiefdom and no taxes, but it's difficult to feed so many people."

Zhao Yuanzhen took his arm and said as he walked: "Xianggong don't worry too much, Zhen'er still has some money here, enough to support it for a few years."

Song Ting frowned and insisted on his point of view: "But after all, there are still more people, and fifty people is by no means a small number, so let's let some people out."

Hearing his words, Zhao Yuanzhen smiled, her beautiful eyes looked at him, her lips pursed into a line, and after a while, she said, "Don't worry, I have money." There was a little smug in his voice.

Song Ting couldn't hold back for a while, and blurted out and asked, "How much money do you have?" I'm afraid it's not enough......"

Zhao Yuanzhen pursed her lips and stretched out four bright jade fingers.

"Forty thousand?"

Zhao Yuanzhen shook her head.

"Could it be...... Four hundred thousand? ”

Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes flashed and nodded.

"Zhen'er...... You call this a pit daddy......" Song Ting tugged at the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but say loudly.

"Xianggong, are you scolding me?"

"Nope." Suddenly felt another pinch on her waist, Song Ting not only did not cry out for pain, but instead hugged her waist and couldn't help laughing......
