Ye Mengmeng pursed her lips and smiled: "Niangniang is a blessed life, so naturally you don't need to know this...... Mother, there is one more thing I need to tell you. A few days ago, I went to Zhuangzi for a field trip, and I found that the overall layout of Zhuangzi was a little smaller and could not be expanded, so I bought the Zhuangzi next to it. In this way, with enough territory, our resort can be built into a hot spring city integrating hot spring hunting and entertainment. ”

Concubine Pei was attracted and nodded again and again: "Mengmeng, you have a good idea." Not to mention anything else, just building a paddock will attract many aristocratic sons. You must know that the nearest paddock to the capital also takes more than three hours to ride a horse. ”

"It's good to have a good idea, but in this way, the silver is not enough, and most of the silver used up just to buy Zhuangzi's silver......"

"Isn't there fifty thousand pieces of silver? Running out of everything? "It's not strange that Concubine Pei is so strange. In her opinion, 50,000 taels of silver was more than enough to build a resort.

"Niangniang, you don't know, that project is a bottomless pit, no matter how much money can be invested in it. It costs 30,000 yuan to buy Zhuangzi, and it is expected to cost 10,000 yuan to build the road in the early stage, and a large amount of silver is needed to repair the resort later. ”

"This ......" Concubine Pei was embarrassed. Meng Meng, there isn't much silver in the palace's hands, if you really want it, you can only find Li'er......"

"Niangniang, don't ......" Ye Mengmeng was so frightened that she quickly interrupted her.

Obediently, she doesn't want to find her departure, she still wants to live for two more years......

"What's wrong?" Concubine Pei looked puzzled.

"Eh, Niangniang, what I mean, you and I must not let the prince know about the business partnership, otherwise it will ......"

"This palace also knows, but isn't there a shortage of silver now? Don't ask him where he's going to find the silver? ”

"Niangniang, there is no hurry in the matter of silver, we can slowly figure out a way. But if the prince knows about it...... You also know that the prince is prejudiced against me, he must think that I am cheating you of your money, and he will not treat me at that time, what if he is angry and does not allow us to build a resort? Didn't the tens of thousands of taels of silver we threw into the water in vain? ”

"This ...... But if we don't look for him, where will we get the money? ”

Ye Mengmeng thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, the concubines in the palace, especially among the people who have a good relationship with you, are there any wealthy mothers?" ”

"What do you want to do? Want to borrow money from them? ”

Ye Mengmeng smiled: "You tell me first, and I'll talk about it." ”

"You girl, still sell Guanzi?" Concubine Pei was a little funny. "If you want to say that you have a good relationship with the palace and your mother's family is rich, there are really so many people."

Ye Mengmeng suddenly came to her senses. "Mother, tell me quickly."

"What are you anxious about?" Concubine Pei smiled and straightened her sideburns. "Let's think about it...... If you want to say that there is a lot of silver, it is the four people of Concubine Wuya, Concubine Chen, Concubine Wang and Concubine Liu. ”

It turned out that in the palace, the concubines also had their own circle of friends. Concubine Pei doesn't like to go out, so her circle of friends is relatively narrow, mainly the few little sisters she knew when she entered the palace. Fortunately, when the emperor died, because they all had children, they were all exempted from shaving their hair and becoming nuns. On weekdays, these concubines also take advantage of their birthdays to get together from time to time, and the relationship is okay.

This is the case with the four concubines mentioned by Concubine Pei. They are not only the same age as Concubine Pei, not only did they enter the palace in the same batch, but they were also named concubines on the same day, and more coincidentally, they were children born in the same year.

The only difference is that Concubine Pei gave birth to a prince, while the other four concubines gave birth to princesses and were already married.

The old emperor died, and Concubine Pei's son was sent to Mobei at night, and Concubine Pei spent more than ten years by relying on several other concubines to spend that lonely time.

Ye Mengmeng asked: "Niangniang, these concubines, how rich is their mother's family?" ”

"How rich?" Concubine Pei's eyebrows frowned. "I don't really know. Concubine Wuya is a princess who came to the foreign grassland to be in harmony with the Darong Kingdom. Although her father was gone, her mother and brother loved her very much, and often came to see her, and each time they came to bring a whole box of gold, silver, and jewelry......"

Ye Mengmeng sighed repeatedly: "What about the other two?" ”

"In addition, let's talk about Concubine Chen first, her father and brother have both done the imperial history of Jiangnan Salt Patrol, and her mother's family is also one of the richest salt merchants in Jiangnan. Salt merchant, you know it......"

"Salt merchant? Salt merchant, I know, that's fat. ”

"No, my father's family is patrolling the salt imperial history, and that is the fat shortage that every official grabs. The mother is also a salt merchant, and according to her, her maternal ancestor is only a daughter of her mother, so does the wealth of the family have to fall to her mother? Although her mother had four children, she was the favorite and came to the palace every year to see her. Other people's relatives visit with them with some kind of special products from their hometown, but her mother carries a bag of silver tickets every time she comes......"

"......" Ye Mengmeng smacked her tongue secretly. The painting style of rich bigwigs is different.

"As for the princess, the family is also terrible. Although her father and brother did not have a title, he was an imperial merchant, and gold and silver were nothing in her eyes. ”

Imperial merchants? This Ye Mengmeng also understands. Xue Baochai's family is an imperial businessman, isn't his family a pearl like earth, gold and iron?

"And that Concubine Liu, her family background is a little worse, but it's not bad. Her father served as the prefect of Tongzhou, and it was also a fat difference. Later, after his father's death, their family fell into ruin, but as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and she must have saved a lot of gold and silver in her hands. ”

Ye Mengmeng's eyes lit green when she heard this, and she pulled Concubine Pei's sleeve and pleaded.

"Niangniang, there is one thing I want to ask you, I want the detailed information of these three concubines, is there a way to get it? Including their family background, circle of friends, personality, life rules and so on......"

Concubine Pei looked at her suspiciously: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm useful."

"It's not difficult, it's just ......" Concubine Pei looked a little hesitant.

"Niangniang, please......" Ye Mengmeng rubbed Concubine Pei softly and coquettishly.

Concubine Pei's heart was soft, and when she saw the little girl begging softly, where could she refuse, she patted her hand and said softly: "Okay, okay, what's the matter?" Such a big girl is still coquettish, and she is not afraid of ugliness? ”

Ye Mengmeng stuck out her tongue: "Also, Niangniang, you must be careful in this matter, it is best not to arouse the suspicion of others, otherwise it will not be good to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Of course."

"Also," Ye Mengmeng thought for a moment. "Niangniang, it would be better if there was a chance to bring these concubines together.".

Concubine Pei smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The eighteenth of next month is the birthday of the main palace, and when the time comes, invite them to the meditation garden. ”
