Chapter 51 Busy and Idle Overnight Snow A touch of tears from the red concubine
Because of Shen Yuan's housekeeper, Old Marquis Xiao handed over several keys to Shen Yuan that had never let Mrs. Qi touch the treasury before.
"It's so good, it's so good, I'm raising you, and it's not in vain, you help me take care of the house. I didn't think of it earlier. Old Marquis Xiao crossed Erlang's legs beautifully, and said to Shen Yuan while listening to the play.
Now that it is winter, it is obviously very cold weather, but because of the abundant charcoal fire in the west courtyard of the old marquis Xiao, a warm shed was built in the yard, and eight charcoal pots were placed in the yard, which was as warm as spring for a while.
"This drama is sung well, this group of Xiaosheng Xiaodan is also sung, I heard that the newcomers of these opera troupes were chosen by you, you can, you have a vision!" The old marquis's face was full of red light.
Shen Yuan waited for his eyes with heavy black circles, and looked at the old marquis with a sad expression.
She held the treasury ledger in her hand, and because the snow was as tight as a day, she wanted to open the treasury and add a few good coats to the ladies and dependents. Because this year is different from previous years, the concubine is happy, and the birth is imminent, and now the female dependents in the house are sent back to see the powerful in the capital There are more social activities, according to the meaning of Mrs. Qi, there are always a few objects at the bottom of the box to add to everyone, so that they can go to the table.
Shen Yuan also thought so, but although these treasury keys were in his hands, he still had to come to the old marquis.
"Don't bother me with these housework. Just watch it yourself. Old Marquis Xiao didn't listen to it, he only pulled Shen Yuan to listen to the play.
Where does Shen Yuan have the time and mood to listen to the play, she hasn't even slept enough in the past few days. The ancient way of keeping accounts really gave her a headache, I really don't know how the Zhao family survived, and it is a miracle that she is tired and collapsed now.
However, Shen Yuan, who was born with leadership skills, finally had a place for this trait in ancient times.
The team was not easy to lead, and the internal friction was too heavy, so she killed the chicken to show the monkey and quickly cleaned up a few old mothers.
The accounts are not clear, the reporting is heavy, and the efficiency is low, she has already called the housekeeper to come to Xiaoyuxuan in the afternoon, take Baili Xi, and study a set of accounting models derived from modern times by Shen Yuan with them.
Of course, Mrs. Qi didn't really show her kindness, and she willingly handed over the power of housekeeping to Shen Yuan, but she still had to do some superficial work. As a result, before Mrs. Qi could react, Shen Yuan had already made the principle of managing the inner house straightforward, and it was already even more difficult for Mrs. Qi to obstruct it.
It's just that Shen Yuan knows very well that he can't go to the foreground, at best, he is a real power behind the scenes. First, because of his identity, after all, his heart is weak, and this emperor's face is rising with the Xiao Mansion, which is easier for the Kyoto ladies to see it. Second, stewardship is stewardship, and stewardship will inevitably offend people sometimes. Therefore, putting Mrs. Qi on the table has a hundred benefits and no harm.
Slowly, everyone is used to it, the things on the table are all this Mrs. Qi, she can't push it off, not to mention this kind of thing that occupies the scenery, Mrs. Qi is also happy to enjoy it.
But in fact, the big and small expenses of the house, all the matters that should be done, have become Shen Yuan's final say.
Zhao, or an errand runner. But he got along well with Shen Yuan. On several occasions, he even helped Shen Yuan run and set up Mrs. Qi, which made Shen Yuan very puzzled.
On this day, Shen Yuanzheng instructed the housekeeper to take the waist card to the treasury to get a few good mink cloaks, and added them to several ladies and ladies, especially Mrs. Qi, in addition to the cloak, she also found a set of the head of Mrs. Hou, just because the month of Concubine Shu is getting older, under the grace of the emperor, Mrs. Qi should be able to enter the palace for a few days to accompany the birth.
Concubine Shu has now ignored the affairs of the Six Palaces and handed over all the powers to Concubine Ling.
Concubine Ling is known for being knowledgeable, gentle and decent, and since she was in charge of the six palaces, the concubines of the six palaces have all praised her.
And Concubine Ling took good care of Concubine Shugui's baby, and the emperor liked her virtue even more.
I didn't want to do this day, Shen Yuanzheng drew a picture and told the mother-in-law how to change the appearance of these mink cloaks, and it looked better to look new. Just got your sights on it...... But I didn't want the bad news to come like this.
Concubine Shu, she had a miscarriage!
The mansion suddenly became chaotic, and Old Marquis Xiao, Master Xiao, and Mrs. Qi were all ordered to enter the palace.
Before leaving, it was just that Old Marquis Xiao was in a hurry and came to take a look at Shen Yuan, "Good girl, don't panic, take care of your family." After saying that, he hurried away.
Shen Yuan and the Zhao family sat in the inner mansion and waited for news, and the second and third masters were not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, so they waited at the palace gate. Everyone was in a state of panic.
"Okay, why did you have a miscarriage." Zhao held the teacup, his hands trembling.
Shen Yuan didn't know that the harem must be more dangerous than the inner courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, but Concubine Shu has always been an indisputable character, and her grace is flourishing, and no one dares to do anything in this limelight.
It's useless to think about it now, just wait.
However, there was no news for three days and three nights, and no one came out.
Not only did the inner family panic, but the second master Xiao and the third master were also panicked.
Red plum remnant snow, Shen Yuan sat in the courtyard of Xiao Mansion, and later she understood that the ruin of Xiao Mansion actually started from this incident.
Little by little, they fall into the trap of others without realizing it.
It wasn't until the early morning of the fourth day that the three of them, Old Marquis Xiao, came out of the palace and brought out the news.
The child's miscarriage turned out to be because the emperor favored Concubine Shugui! The fetus has passed three months, and it stands to reason that the fetus is stable. Who knew that the emperor couldn't hold it anymore and stayed in the palace of Concubine Shugui......
The doctor said that it was because the sexual intercourse was too intense......
Shen Yuan and Zhao were in a trance, and they fell to the ground one after another, and the maid hurriedly helped them.
This kind of thing will never be the emperor's fault, but Concubine Shu has always been dignified and sensible, and she is even more careful with the fetus, how can she be so disproportionate......
However, no matter what, Shen Yuan knew that this woman of the Xiao family, who had never met her, would be in the palace like this winter.
It is said that the emperor has issued an order to order Concubine Shu to recuperate in her palace. That's a nice way to put it, but it's actually grounded. The emperor didn't want to see Concubine Shu, and when he saw Concubine Shu, he thought of his own fault, and thought of the terrifying blood on Concubine Shu's bed, which was the blood of a child, his child......
Fortunately, it was only the concubine who was grounded, but the Xiao family was not angry because of Concubine Shu's fall from grace.
Xiao Yuanshan was reinstated half a year later, and Xiao Chenyi and the crown prince were repeatedly praised and rewarded by the emperor.
And instead of Concubine Shu, the one who favors the sixth palace is naturally Concubine Ling Chu Lingxi.
Shen Yuan continued to be powerful in the Xiao family, and now Mrs. Qi and the Zhao family are at peace with her, and Mrs. Qi seems to be even more depressed because of her eldest daughter. The housekeeper, Baili Xi, and Ah Cai have all been trained by Shen Yuan to be good at taking charge of themselves.
has also given Shen Yuan time to go to the opera garden of Old Marquis Xiao in the West Courtyard, just to listen to the play.
Old Marquis Xiao is getting old. Unfortunately, time flies. More than two years have passed since Shen Yuan crossed over to come here.
The royal affairs seem to be very far away from Shen Yuan's days, but they seem to be inextricably linked.
This year is the early winter of the fifth year of Yonghe.
It has been a whole year since Concubine Shu's miscarriage was grounded. Finally there was good news, this time the emperor set up a banquet, because Concubine Ling interceded, the emperor finally nodded and lifted the concubine's grounding, and attended the banquet with all the concubines.
And this feast is because the Lingnan Army has entered Beijing.
