Chapter 520
Zilan ate wine-stuffed rice balls and a lot of snacks, and returned home satisfied.
When I returned to the main hall, I went to greet the old lady first, and my mother-in-law Zhang and second aunt Jiang were also there.
"Grandmother, we went to see the market, it was well built, I also had snacks, and I brought you some sauce meat back to add vegetables."
"Okay, we also heard that it is very popular, and the response is very good, child, you have done a good thing."
The old lady also heard the mother-in-law who bought the house talking about it, saying that the things were very complete, very clean, and very convenient, and there was everything to buy, and there was a lot of everything.
Zilan had a smile on her face, very satisfied.
"Grandmother, don't you know that when we went today, many people gathered around us to thank us and brought back a pile of souvenirs. Lan'er specifically mentioned that the emperor loves the people like a son. ”
Cui Hao also sat down with a smile, and his daughter-in-law fought for him and the Cui family, which was really honorable.
"That's true. By the way, the Du family, the mother of the Ten Princes, asked someone to write a post and wanted to see you, and some merchants also wanted to see you, so they wrote posts. ”
Jiang Shi left many posts and handed them to Zilan.
She took it and looked at them one by one, and handed it to Cui Hao, "The Du family wants to meet, do you have time tomorrow?" Is it appropriate to meet in the house? ”
"It's okay, I have time tomorrow, I'll talk back, the Du family is favored now, it's not easy to offend."
"Okay, listen to you."
The ten princes were young, formally cute and clever when they would please people, and they were too young to participate in the succession, so they were favored by the emperor.
Together with the mother family, the Du family has also attracted a lot of attention, and it is very popular.
The emperor has other princes, but because of their age, they are either too young to compete for favor, or they are already half old and have to study.
Also because the emperor favored the ten princes, the Du family could not be offended.
"As far as I know, the Du family has taken a lot of benefits from the treasurer, and his family has to account for half of the bad debts.
He must at least give the same amount as the six princes, otherwise he can't respond. I can't bear all the bad debts alone, there is no reason for this. ”
Zilan accepted that the treasurer had to bear a lot of grievances, and the first one was to deal with bad debts. But there are many benefits in it, and the invisible benefits of the mother's family and the husband's family are too many to count.
But if you take on too much, you don't have the means, like a fool, the emperor may not think that you have merit, so you have to pay attention to a degree here.
"That's natural, 200,000 can't be done, his family takes a lot more than the mother family of the six princes, at least 300,000 to achieve."
Cui Hao sneered, the Du family is a difficult bone to gnaw, I'm afraid it's not easy, the tenth prince's mother, Concubine Li, is very beautiful, and her mouth is also very sweet and coaxing, the emperor likes it very much, otherwise how could the Du family be so rampant.
In this palace, they all watch people put down dishes, the emperor rests at Concubine Li's place for half a month, and there are tributes, she can get the best, and she must not forget their mother and son.
How dare those palace maids Shangyi and eunuchs embarrass the Du family, naturally it is a big convenience.
"I don't have much to say about a female dependent, you can help me deal with it."
Zilan smiled, she didn't plan to promise anything, and the sixth prince didn't promise anything, but when the money was obtained, it could be confiscated and filled, and this move was also a long face for the emperor.
"Cheng, leave it to me, auntie, my eldest brother."
Cui Hao nodded and looked at Jiang Shi and asked.
"Oh, he's still in the ministry and hasn't come back yet, so he might be busy for a few days when he just goes to a new place."
"Well, the eldest brother is back, I have something to talk to him, the affairs of the Du family are more troublesome, and I want the eldest brother to accompany me to meet the father and son of the Du family."
How could he let outsiders embarrass his daughter-in-law, and we will do the hard bones for him.
"Cheng, this kind of thing is naturally your brother to discuss, and when he comes back, I will let him go to you."
Jiang Shi Lisuo nodded, she also liked this niece and daughter-in-law very much, and as soon as she entered the door, she won a big event, and even her son was promoted, and she should work if she got the benefits.
Zilan was still studying the post, and took out a few and put them aside.
"Let the chief steward of the Cui family go to these families, come back and tell me what their attitude is, let's not agree to anything, just accept the money, and don't make any notes."
"Cheng, I see."
Li listened to it, took the post and told the girl to find the chief steward.
"These few cards handed over to the Song family, Steward Li and Steward Qi went to see, the same number of roads, accept the money, don't promise anything, and don't give him a word."
Zilan handed over the rest of the post to the Song family's housekeeper to meet, the treasurer's matter implicated the household department, and the Song family could not be bypassed, this was not a selfish intention to bring benefits to her mother's family.
"The slave and maid have written it down, and then I will command it."
Mu Xiang responded, Steward Qi is Zilan's marrying steward, and his father's steward belongs to father and son, and the father and son discussed the convenience of doing things.
Zilan herself can't go to see the merchant, the status is different and you can't talk about it, the steward is reasonable to the merchant.
"Your sister has also seen the old Zhao family, and her attitude is not bad, and she has given 300,000 yuan in silver, and she has also given gifts, and your sister has sent it."
The old lady accepted these, this should be Zhang's job, but she wouldn't do it, and the steward handed it over to the old lady on her behalf.
"It's quite sensible, Mu Xiang, you take the time to see Sister Xuan'er, tell her to pinch the Zhao family tightly, and the shop will be opened as soon as possible, and then talk about holding people first."
"Yes, the slave has written it down."
Mu Xiang responded with a smile.
Zilan squinted slightly and pondered, there was still a lot of short, and she had to knock some out. I can't do it for nothing.
If the treasurer is profitable, the emperor will give her a profit, and the prince will also take a profit, and others will not participate in the treasurer.
It's an open secret, and the previous rulers also had this number, but unfortunately it was greedy.
"Brother and sister, they sent some things over and want you to check them out. I've had someone send it to your yard. ”
Li reminded with a smile.
Zilan became the treasurer in charge, and the keen merchants realized that the treasurer was going to change the day, and there must be benefits to take it, so they hurriedly sent their own products over to taste, maybe they could become tribute to the palace, and the price and reputation were different.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I will look back and see that you helped me send it to my aunts and sisters, I can't wear so many things on one head, so I will share it with the big guys."
She gave Lee a good one.
"Okay, I'll bother you, you can just give me this errand job."
Li also understood her kindness, and nodded with a smile.
As he was talking, the old man Cui and his sons came back, and the maids were busy bringing them water and washing, and the house was lively again.
"Have you gone to see the Six Princes today? How's it going? ”
"I have a very good attitude, I have a mirror in my heart, I am humble and polite in dealing with people, I am not humble or arrogant, I have more opportunities than the third prince, but I have only seen one time, and I can't see the real chapter."
Zilan took the initiative to speak her thoughts first, and if there were mistakes, let the elders correct them.
