17. Chapter 17
Within three or five days, what was to be written was almost ready to stop.
A few days out of the warm sun, if Yun nest in the room is going to be moldy, this day is warm at noon, after the light meal hugged the thick pile of paper in the courtyard to tidy up, suddenly heard the sound of someone crying.
She frowned and ignored it, but after a while, the crying was still and the howling continued, she had no intention of reading the words at all, and sent Xiaohong to ask.
Not long after, an old man with white hair and silver beard and kind eyes arrived, followed by Xiaohong.
The old man, when he saw her, bowed respectfully: "Miss Su, I am the housekeeper of this palace, and the scholar took care of the girl's daily life before, so the girl has never seen the old age." ”
"The old man can't, if Yun just called the girl to ask where the cry came from, why should Steward Chen give a big gift." Ruoyun hurriedly helped him up, thinking that the person in front of him was the old housekeeper Rong Yixuan said, and I heard that he had followed the prince for more than 20 years.
Steward Chen smiled and said: "The girl doesn't need to panic, the prince has been busy for days and has explained to Chen the matter of the girl's token, the palace is full of troubles, and it doesn't hurt to say this little thing to the girl." ”
Seeing that he was straight to the point, Ruoyun hurriedly said "please", Xiaohong turned around and went out in a witty way, and closed the courtyard door again.
Chen Guan's family didn't sit down, and said eloquently: "This cry is only because in the first queen's lineage, except for officials, profit-seeking businessmen and family members, the rest of the irrelevant people and other unrelated people have confiscated their family property. The prince remembered that his relatives were innocent, and he had secretly helped several households in the capital, just because they did not work all year round, most of them did not want to work, and soon sat down to eat empty mountains, and this every other three or May they went to the house to ask for money, or they would have been making trouble in the alleys outside the house. ”
"Has the prince ever refused?" Ruoyun instinctively felt that the villain's affairs must be difficult, and this cry could come through two walls, how loud is this.
"The girl didn't know that these families didn't dare to come to the door while the prince was there, for fear that the prince would be angry and punish him. Once every effort was made to find out that the prince was not in the house, many people immediately came. If the prince of Shuyan and the county lord refuse in the house, they will immediately leave and will never dare to stay, but they can see them again in a few days, and it is difficult for the old man to come forward to refuse many times. Steward Chen looked helpless, sighed and shook his head.
Ruoyun nodded, and sighed: "This is really difficult." I'm afraid that no matter how much I give it, I can spend it cleanly after a few months, and with the golden mountain of the palace, these people still have the same way to ask for money. ”
Her eyes were smart, and she suddenly raised her head and asked, "But the prince, the prince of Shuyan, and the county lord are not in the mansion?" ”
"Exactly, the prince and the prince of Shuyan are both in the court, and the county lord entered the palace early in the morning. Although the old man is an official family, it is not difficult to send some money, but the difficulty is that he only received the money yesterday and ...... this time" Steward Chen slumped his shoulders heavily and shook his head incessantly.
The so-called Diao Min is an example, if Yun has a number in her heart, no wonder Steward Chen came in person, it is impossible to explain this matter without telling her in person. Since Rong Yixuan believed her, she would help her.
"In the end, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, one or two people will be fine, more than a dozen of them will come, and the old man will be helpless, they will leave when they are tired, after all, the prince will open his eyes and close his eyes." Seeing that she was thoughtful, Steward Chen hurriedly comforted her.
The corners of Ruoyun's mouth hooked, and she smiled slyly: "Old Chen doesn't have to worry, you can allow them a way to get money." ”
Steward Chen was shocked when he heard this, and then laughed: "How can the old man have a way to make money?" If so, I would have sent them away. ”
Seeing him sigh with his sleeves, Ruoyun said patiently: "Elder Chen can negotiate with the head of the family and ask him to indicate how many adult men and women there are in the family. Among the men, there are a few who are strong and willing to work, and a few who are learned and willing to be officials; Among the women, there are a few who are willing to do the work, and a few who can run the house; There may be boys among the children who are aspiring and willing to study; There may be gentlemen and virtuous among girls. ”
Steward Chen is a shrewd person in the end, and when he heard her say the beginning, he felt the clue, and his eyes lit up: "Girl, please continue." ”
"And the man who has the strength and willingness to work will be arranged to work hard, but the income is not meager, this capital channel has been blocked for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the water conservancy will be repaired. Those who are knowledgeable and willing to serve as officials can arrange some clerical jobs that do not require official positions in the government while learning; And in the past few days, the capital has been tight, and it is not difficult to arrange this woman's manual work, and those who can run the family can enter some middle-sized households to help take care of it. The boys and girls are still young and have experienced few ups and downs, so they must have good wishes that are eager to be fulfilled. As long as this does not involve official interests, some errands are not difficult to arrange. Ruoyun analyzed slowly, and the words were clear.
Steward Chen sweated slightly when he heard this: "Miss Su, can you guarantee that they are willing?" ”
Therefore, Steward Chen only needs to find out how many people are really willing, and he knows that he will be righteous and famous, so that there are seven or eight people who have tasted the sweetness of the family table at the same time, and others will envy and naturally follow the trend. One family has food and clothing, and the rest of the families will definitely inquire about the reason when they see it. Those who tasted the sweetness first will naturally be able to take care of their families later, and the palace will not have to care about them after a long time. And Mr. Chen, you can just let a few of them, especially those who are not of low status, understand things. If there were no such people, how could these families protect themselves from the calamity of their relatives? After Ruoyun finished speaking, she threw out a rhetorical question, and looked at the old man and smiled.
Steward Chen hurriedly wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and looked at her eyes with admiration and approval: "The girl is right, those people are not the whole family, those who can't pull down the face of the head of the family, the son has never shown up, I think it is because of many years of discouragement and reluctance to show up and lose this person, so they are messing around, one is making trouble, and the other is willing to work, and the other is unwilling to earn." ”
Therefore, Steward Chen might as well take this matter to heart and make a few trips to meet the head of the family in person. Chen Lao must explain this winter festival, when there will be a curfew in the capital, if the emperor and the prince know that this matter is displeased, and order to arrest it, then it can be ......" Ruoyun covered her lips and still smiled.
"I'll do it." Steward Chen actually bowed down, "But this credit must be returned to the prince." ”
"Old Chen's words are serious." Ruoyun hurriedly helped him.
Steward Chen left for about a pillar of incense, and the cry gradually stopped.
She sat down to be cleaner, and a little girl came running in a smoke, and shouted from a distance: "Miss Su! Oh no! Mr. Chen begged you to go, but Master Hu said that he had to see you. ”
Ruoyun was completely stunned, and immediately frowned: "Master Hu? Which Hu-sama? "Who is this Lord Hu, why doesn't she know at all?
"The Book of Rites, Lord Hu Bowen!" The little girl shouted, and when she came to her, she was already panting and sweating, "Girl, come with me, Old Chen is in a dilemma." Girl, let's go! The detailed minion road will be with you. ”
"Huh? Oh......" Ruoyun saw that he was in a hurry, so he put down the paperwork in his hand and pressed the wooden paperweight.
"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaohong came over with clean clothes and saw her hurrying away.
Ruoyun only turned her head and shouted from afar: "Xiaohong, don't let people touch the things on the table......"
