Chapter 35 Wan Guan Family Wealth
For three days in a row, Li Chun came to Nianyun to rest, which surprised the people of the East Palace.
Soon, the news spread, and everyone knew that Mrs. County not only got back the golden seal, but also, she began to be favored. Everyone in the East Palace was amazed, and secretly marveled that Mrs. Jun deserved to be the person who came out of the princess's mansion, although she was young, her ability was not small.
After hearing the news in the East Palace, the only person who had mixed feelings was Li Chang.
For three days in a row, she heard that her brother had spoiled his wife, and in the past three days, for three whole days, her good sister-in-law was so obsessed with the love of men and women that she didn't go to play with her once.
Obviously, my sister-in-law said that she didn't care about her brother's favor, and she wanted to help. But she still didn't do it, and her sister-in-law suddenly became spoiled, the key is, for several days, it was just dry firewood, so angry!
Li Chang ran to Nianyun's room early in the morning, Nianyun had already freshened up, and was sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed having breakfast alone. Li Chang rushed in to take a look, and what was in front of her was still a bowl of white porridge and four plates of small pickles, which was no different from before.
Li Chang ran into the house again and looked around, the bedding was still neatly packed, except for a man's cloak hanging in the house, which was about Li Chun's, there was no difference from before.
Nianyun saw her rushing in and looked around, thinking that she was here to find Li Chun, and said, "Your brother has gone to the court early, do you want to have breakfast together?" ”
Li Chang was a little aggrieved: "My brother treats my sister-in-law well now, and my sister-in-law won't go to play with me." ”
Nian Yun said with a smile: "In the past few days, your brother asked me to help him take care of the affairs of the East Palace, I have just taken over, and I have no clue about many things, so I am too busy to leave." But don't worry, when the things at hand are all sorted out, I will still take you out to play. ”
It turned out that it was for this, not because of his brother, Li Chang's heart was a little better. She still heard that Nianyun got back the golden seal, and Hui Niang must not be so arrogant in the future.
Li Chang's eyes lit up, he became happy, asked Chonglou to bring another pair of chopsticks, and drank a big bowl of porridge with her.
After breakfast, Nianyun said, "Do you want to go to the inner mansion with me?" ”
Li Chang has never taken care of family affairs, he only feels novelty and nods happily.
With Li Chang, a sister-in-law and grandmother who everyone has to admit three points, Nianyun was full of confidence, and as soon as he entered the inner mansion, he convened a meeting with the directors of the six divisions.
The director of the Sixth Division knew that she had just taken over, and Hui Niang was reluctant, so she had already discussed and planned to give her a dismissal. Therefore, at the time she set, Liu Sishan, who was the chef, first set a precedent and was half an hour late.
However, when Liu Sishan walked into the inner mansion, she was taken aback by the scene in front of her. The five directors knelt on the ground in unison, and the room was so quiet that a needle could hear it.
Liu Sishan only felt that the eyes of the five supervisors were stabbing at her like blades, her legs were weak, and she also knelt down, and the words prepared in advance were useless.
Nianyun took a sip of tea and said, "Since it's already here, then everyone should get up." ”
Liu Sishan stood awkwardly and didn't kneel, he struggled for a while, but he still stood up.
Nian Yun glanced at her obliquely, and said with a faint smile: "Liu Sishan is sick?" ”
Without waiting for her to answer, Nianyun said again: "If you are sick, you have to go to see Langzhong-yo, I forgot, the pharmacy is also a kitchen manager, and it can't be cured, I'm afraid I will let you go home to recuperate." ”
Liu Sishan really planned to prevaricate with her illness, thinking that the newly appointed county lady would not say anything about her, but she didn't expect to touch a soft nail and told her to block the words first, so she had to say hesitantly: "There is something to deal with temporarily over there ...... the kitchen over."
Nianyun asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter?" Oh, it's no wonder that our East Palace eats eggs for two or three hundred dollars each, which is naturally very expensive, so Liu Sishan has to go and get it himself! ”
Liu Sishan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, plopped and fell to his knees again. Mrs. County knew everything, it turned out that she was prepared to come, and she planned to kill people with a word.
Nian Yun giggled, like a child who didn't know anything about the world, laughing so innocently and kindly, but laughing so much that people's hearts were furious.
"What are you anxious about, I know that I used to have a lot of affairs in the hands of Hui Niang, and I didn't have time to take care of you. Now that I'm here, everything will come as I want, not to mention how it used to be, I just know my own rules. "Nian Yun Dao.
Li Chang has always looked down on those people in the Sixth Division who follow Hui Niang and pat on the back, but Nianyun did a good job. She also said: "Hear, now it's my sister-in-law in charge, you all be careful, don't be smart but be mistaken by being smart, being too smart may not be a good thing." ”
Nian Yun bowed slightly, looked around, and his eyes swept sharply over the six supervisors present, Liu Sishan felt that his skin was stabbed by this gaze.
However, she was still smiling, she smiled: "You are all heroes of the East Palace, without you, there would be no situation in the East Palace today." I have only one thing today, that is, I ask the divisions to check the account books by themselves, and if there is anything that does not match, try to make up for it myself, and ask the divisions to carry the account books to my house after three days. ”
Li Chang didn't know what those people were doing, and said proudly: "My sister-in-law clearly knows how much the market value of a piece of cloth is, how much a carpentry hour is worth, and how many workers are needed to weave a brocade quilt, so you don't want to pay a bunch of foolish accounts!" ”
The directors of the six divisions were all submissive, and Chen Siyi said in a low voice: "Three days is a bit rushed......
Nian Yun smiled, and laughed so much that he was overwhelmed: "Then five days, before dusk in five days, all the account books will be sent to me." ”
Everyone had no choice but to agree and disperse, Li Chang felt that these things were too laborious, so he went back to rest. It was still early, so Nian Yun ordered someone to take the key to the treasury and go to all parts of the inner mansion and the treasury to inspect it.
Due to the different natures of the kitchen and the medicine collection bureau, the two divisions are located in a separate courtyard behind the Chongren Hall of the prince's study, and the other four divisions are the secretary, the secretary, the master of ceremonies, and the secretary.
Among them, clothes and jewelry, soup towels, rouge gouache, hairpin ring jewelry, etc., should be counted in the clothing room; Bed mats, curtains, laying and sprinkling, gardening and planting, lanterns and candles, etc., are under the management of the bedroom; It is the responsibility of the master of ceremonies to write a few cases, to entertain guests, to carry out internal punishments, and to record the history of Tong; First, weaving and dyeing manufacturing, personnel changes, repair and other affairs should be responsible for the division's workshop.
Except for the kitchen and the drug collection bureau, the four divisions do not have a separate warehouse, only a temporary storage place for goods, all the items are stored in the general treasury of the inner government in different categories, and each department goes to the inner square to take it according to the needs, and who keeps it or returns it after use, all of which are recorded by the head of the inner government.
The storeroom is a row of several large rooms with many shelves, numbered. Nian Yun looked at the accumulation of the treasury one by one, although it was a little messy, but he ordered it to be sorted out a little, and there was nothing too wrong.
At the end, there were a few rooms, and there were no categories, and many things were packed in cages and stacked directly in the house. Nian Yun asked the head of the inner house: "What is this?" ”
The manager glanced at her, as if surprised that she didn't know, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "This is your dowry and the congratulatory gift sent from outside the wedding, Mrs. County......
Nian Yun was greatly surprised: "My dowry is so much? ”
The manager said: "Madame herself doesn't know the amount of dowry? The dowry of five hundred and twelve carries, when it was carried into the East Palace, it was carried for three days! Even the princess in the palace surrendered, I'm afraid that there may not be these, and the lady's maiden family is really extraordinary! ”
The rich family in Chang'an City married their daughters only for eighty-eight sixty-four dowries, which was called "full lifting", and her dowry was eight times as much, and Nianyun was almost stunned.
She knew that both Shengping Mansion and Fenyang Mansion had been busy for a long time to purchase her dowry, and perhaps they had already started to prepare before she returned to Chang'an, but she didn't know that it was so rich.
It must have been because my sister had gone, and my mother gave her my sister's share as well.
Guo's family is a general, and although several uncles are officials, their family background is definitely not rich. 's father is a little horse captain, although I heard that he also runs some businesses in Chang'an City, but he is far from being a rich businessman.
Come to think of it, the dowry was made by the mother who did her best to empty out her original dowry. In addition to a dowry from the palace, her mother Cui Guifei and the first emperor took out their own money to buy one for her, so her mother married her father back then, which was also very beautiful.
No wonder although Hui Niang is pampered and arrogant, she is a little arrogant, but her face is still kind and she doesn't dare to really touch her; It's no wonder that although the people are red and white, they are all relayed by the maids, and no one dares to be disrespectful in front of her.
Nian Yun only felt dizzy, and decided to find out how much property he had first. She took a deep breath and made up her mind: "Show me the dowry list." ”
The boss respectfully handed over a thick red cover gift list.
Nianyun flipped through it, and the manager led her to the corresponding items to take a look.
The more she looked, the more surprised she became. In addition to the couches, furniture, bedding and bedding necessary for the wedding, which have been arranged in advance in the Yiqiu Palace where she lives before the wedding, there are countless gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade still piled up here, and there is even a lack of rare treasures from foreign tribute.
In addition, there are 10,000 taels of gold, millions of coins, and countless colors of silk and satin. As soon as the big box was opened, several large boxes of gold were full of gold collars and yellow and clear copper coins, and the whole room was bright and dazzling, which startled Nian Yun.
After reading the dowry list, I flipped through the list of congratulatory gifts at random, all of them were people I didn't know, some of them hadn't even heard of their names, and Nian Yun didn't bother to look at what they had sent.
It's just to take it first, and when it comes time to give a gift to someone else in the future, then give it to B from A, and then give it to C with a different package from what B sends...... It also saves a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, I saw Guo Yan's name. Nianyun looked over curiously, and wrote, "Brother Guo Jun congratulates his sister and sister-in-law on their wedding, and hereby presents: two pots of green chrysanthemums, two pots of black gold peonies, and two pots of red manzhu sawa ......"
There are all kinds of flowers, but I am afraid that there are nearly 100 potted flowers. The person in charge said: "Madame's family really has a heart. There are too many flower pots, and the varieties are miscellaneous, and the minions only picked a few rare pots and put them in Yiqiu Palace, and the rest are temporarily placed on the corridor in the back garden, and they are being served by a special person, waiting for the lady to take back the golden seal steward and then arrange it! ”
Nian Yun knew that he was just saying some beautiful things, and the flowers sent by Guo Yan were either rare varieties, or special colors, or particularly good serving. Maybe it was someone in the East Palace who saw it and hugged a basin.
Before, she went to Hui Niang's yard, and saw two pots of peonies in front of the windowsill that were blooming very well, and she only had a thought at that time, how could there be a gardener in the East Palace who could serve the flowers so well like the third brother, and she didn't think much about it. Perhaps, the flower was originally sent by the third brother.
Nianyun then looked down, and the name of Li Yi, the king of Shu, was impressive, but he didn't write what it was. Nian Yun's heart jumped suddenly, and he pointed to the column and asked, "What is this?" ”
The manager took a very small wooden box from the top of the cabinet and came down: "Madame has vision. The congratulatory gift from His Royal Highness King Shu is very exquisite. ”
The box opened, and sure enough, it was the phoenix-shaped hairpin.
In just a few months, she has been married to another woman, and she has no intersection with him.
She sighed and said to the master, "I'll take this one." ”
