Chapter 24: Ten Thousand Taels
Ye Xiaoyan lay on her back on the bed, looked at the top of the tent, and counted how many folds there were on the tent.
When she is tired, she likes to empty herself like this.
Nangong Yu was sitting next to the bed, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at Ye Xiaoyan's solemn expression, as if she was thinking about something.
Nangong You said: "I didn't discuss it with you today, so I promised to give 10,000 taels." ”
In Ye Xiaoyan's opinion, this matter was not a problem, and she never thought that he should discuss it with her. So he said, "You can spend your money as you like." ”
Nangong You heard that her tone was reproachful, and said, "Are you angry? ”
"Nope."
Ye Xiaoyan looked at the top of the tent, she counted to thirteen just now, where did the fourteenth fold come from? It all looks the same. Recount. One, two, three......
Nangong You heard her cold tone, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, and said, "The palace ......"
As soon as he said two words, Green Branch said loudly outside: "Princess, your medicine is ready." ”
"Come in." Ye Xiaoyan rushed to the door.
Green Branch came in with the medicine, Ye Xiaoyan got up, drank the medicine, and ordered Green Branch to come in with a cup of hot water.
Green Twig poured hot water and laid it on the small table next to the bed. Say the water is a little hot, be careful not to burn. Ye Xiaoyan said she knew. The green branch retreated.
Ye Xiaoyan asked Nangong Youdao at this time: "What did you want to say just now?" ”
Nangong You looked at the way she hung herself aside just now and didn't want to pay attention to it, it seemed that she was really angry.
Nangong You said: "The palace really doesn't have much money now, and 10,000 taels is not a small amount. But don't worry, we still have 600 acres of land outside the city, and when we collect rent at the end of the year, we can collect 3,000 taels. ”
Ye Xiaoyan turned her head to look at him. I thought to myself: Counting on 600 acres of land, the income at the end of the year is 3,000 taels, it seems that the income of the palace, in addition to his Yulu, is only these 600 acres of land.
Thinking of this, her brows furrowed: Could it be that she crossed over to farm?
Nangong You looked at her with a frowning face and a sad expression. Thinking that she dislikes that the capital is not as prosperous as she imagined, and now she dislikes him for being poor?
Nangong was helpless. He also had a million-dollar fortune.
That year, he was ordered to quell the rebellion, and he returned to the capital in the middle. Because the follow-up military funds have not been allocated for a long time, it is really impossible, so he returned to Beijing to urge. But the household department said that there was no money, and even the emperor had no way to take the household department.
That day, in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Sima Taiwei said to him: Forget it, go back to Beijing, it is not your business to quell the chaos alone.
At that time, he was wholeheartedly for the dynasty, and said righteously: "If the household department doesn't pay for it, I'll pay it!" Then he took all his money and went to the North.
This time, the turmoil was calmed down, but when he returned, he became a cripple.
No one thanked him for draining his fortune for the dynasty and for losing his legs.
At the beginning, he didn't feel that he was too righteous, but now, he deeply feels: the bitter fruit brought by righteousness still has to taste it himself!
"Yan'er," Nangong You shouted to Ye Xiaoyan, held her hand, and said, "Will you leave me because of this?" ”
"What?" Ye Xiaoyan didn't understand.
Nangong You said: "Are you willing to live a hard life with me?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan twisted her eyebrows.
Do you really want to go farming? But she's not good at farming. What is the best economic benefit to grow?
Nangong You saw her frowning and thinking, with a look of disgust. Suddenly, I felt so cold.
Nangong Yu let go of his hand weakly, sighed, as if talking to himself, and said, "I did the wrong thing again today." ”
thought that because of the promise of 10,000 taels, this little wife might leave him. He is now starting to regret it.
Ye Xiaoyan asked, "What did you do wrong today?" ”
Nangong Yu said: "I shouldn't have promised to give 10,000 taels." ”
Ye Xiaoyan said: "I agreed, then I will come out." ”
Nangong You looked at Ye Xiaoyan with complicated eyes and asked, "Will you leave me?" ”
"Huh?" Ye Xiaoyan looked puzzled: "Why should I leave you?" ”
"Because I promised to give 10,000 taels."
Ye Xiaoyan was stunned, her mind turned around, and she understood. It turned out that he had just sighed for a long time, and he was thinking about this.
She smiled: "You are a big man, how can you be a mother-in-law." Now that you've agreed to it, don't bother with it anymore. ”
"You ......" Nangong You couldn't quite understand the meaning of her words. Tentatively asked, "Then what were you worried about just now?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan said: "I'm thinking, should we take back the 600 acres of land and plant it ourselves?" What should I plant? I'm not very good at farming. ”
Hearing this, Nangong was stunned. Dare to love the direction they thought in different directions just now.
Ye Xiaoyan saw Nangong You's mouth slightly open and paused, and quipped: "What? Do you think I found out you were a poor bastard and ran away on your own? ”
Nangong Yu nodded.
Ye Xiaoyan pinched his somewhat stiff face and said, "You are so handsome, how can I be willing to run." ”
"Is it just because I'm handsome?" Nangong You knew that he was thinking about it just now, and his mood suddenly improved again.
"Well......" Ye Xiaoyan seemed to be thinking seriously and said, "If you treat me better, I won't leave." ”
"Am I not good to you?" Nangong You raised his eyebrows. As if threatening, dare to say that I am not good at trying.
Ye Xiaoyan knew that he was relieved, so she stopped teasing and said, "You let me take a nap, it's good for me." ”
Nangong You helped her tuck the quilt and said, "You sleep." I went to the study. ”
"Hmm."
Ye Xiaoyan lay down and took a nap. She woke up early today, and now she needs to catch up on sleep.
Nangong You came to the study and prepared to ask Steward Zhou to send 10,000 taels to the eldest prince.
The wind is coming.
"Lord Wang, Chun Tao ran away this morning."
Nangong You glanced at Qingfeng.
Qingfeng explained: "The subordinates went to scare Chun Tao according to the prince's orders, and told the maids and daughters-in-law not to watch too closely. The subordinates were afraid that the wind would be too conscientious, so they stopped Chun Tao, so they told the wind and asked him to let Spring Tao run out. ”
"Hmm." Nangong You recognized it and asked, "Has she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Swift Wind said: "My subordinates followed her and saw her enter the Prime Minister's Mansion with my own eyes." ”
Nangong You's fingers tapped on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
Hurricane didn't understand why he wanted to let Spring Peach run back. Qingfeng told him before that this was discussed between the prince and the princess.
This woman thinks too much, will our prince be manipulated by her and harmed by her?
Hurricane was a little worried about the prince.
At this time, Steward Zhou came.
"Lord, what do you command?"
"You go and get 10,000 taels and send it to the Great Prince's Mansion. The eldest prince wants to hold a 'poetry meeting', which is the money from our palace. Nangong You said.
"Ten thousand taels?" Steward Zhou's eyes widened.
The breeze and the wind present also felt very shocked.
They have followed the prince for many years, and they know that a few years ago when the rebellion in the Northern Regions was quelled, the prince exhausted all his family wealth, and now the palace is very poor. At this time, 10,000 taels will be taken out. This is probably the last bit of money in their palace.
