I haven't seen the fourth elder brother for more than a month, and Min Jue naturally thinks about it very much.

Of course, in addition to the letters, Min Jue also received a gift from the fourth elder brother, which was her birthday gift, a hairpin carved from purple crystal, a total of twelve pieces.

She is a chicken, and it is naturally impossible for people to send her this, so they are all phoenix-shaped hairpins, and the shape of each phoenix is different, which is particularly exquisite.

In the Qing Dynasty, the phoenix naturally means the mother of the country, but it is not forbidden for the people to use things with phoenix patterns, as long as it is not a nine-feather phoenix, it is not considered to have exceeded the rules.

She was born on May 13, and this birthday ceremony was more than ten days late.

She doesn't care about these things, her fourth elder brother went to Shanxi for disaster relief, it was a big deal, she was already very satisfied with remembering his birthday and letting people send her something back.

She also had to send someone to put away this amethyst phoenix hairpin and wear it in the future, but she must not let people know that this was sent back from Shanxi by her fourth elder brother.

Amethyst is not a precious thing in the future, but it is different in this era.

Because there are not many minerals found, the best amethyst is used, which is crystal clear, rich in color and can not see impurities, or it is carved as a whole.

With this set of twelve phoenix hairpins, the fourth elder brother of her family may be gone for a year.

Min Jue didn't know where he got the money, anyway, she didn't have to worry about him doing things, so naturally she didn't have to care too much.

As the fourth elder brother of Lord Belle, the annual salary is 2,500 taels of silver, because he is the prince, the emperor gave grace, that is, special care, so there are 5,000 taels a year, and Lu rice is 2,500 taels, and the rice must not be eaten up, so half of it can be discounted into silver, and it can be counted as more than one or two thousand taels.

But the prince is not an ordinary Baylor after all, when they left the palace to set up their own door this time, the emperor gave her 300,000 taels of silver settlement fee, and privately gave her 100,000 taels of silver tickets.

When the other brothers left the palace, the emperor did not give his daughter-in-law this silver, and the reason why she gave it to her was that Min Jue felt that there were two reasons.

First, the fourth elder brother's mother-in-law, Concubine De, did not give them additional settling-in expenses, and the emperor felt that the fourth elder brother was pitiful, so he gave this silver.

As for the second one...... The main reason is that Min Jue's daughter-in-law is too rich, and the emperor doesn't want his son to be looked down upon by his daughter-in-law, so he ......

Anyway, although the emperor is a high earth emperor, he also really loves his children and breaks his heart.

Since leaving the palace, Min Jue's wealth has risen by more than one million all of a sudden, mainly because of the settling-in allowance given by the emperor and the land property given to the fourth elder brother.

According to her, the system did not calculate the wealth value for her in the four Baylor mansions, and she didn't know what the reason was, she asked the little turtle, and they said that this was automatically calculated by the system, and it was not clear.

Overall, going out of the palace is much better than in the past.

She will have a little more wealth from time to time now, and that is all the income from the fields and shops under the hands of the fourth elder brother.

I don't care about anything, but the wealth value is swaying up and down, it's a pity...... It's not going to rise fast, so if she wants to upgrade her system again, she will probably have to wait for a long, long time.

She doesn't have to go into the palace to greet Concubine De these days, so she is idle all of a sudden, but she can spend more time on "investment".

The fourth elder brother said that all the money in the house is in charge of her, and it is up to her to do whatever she wants, so Min Jue will definitely use these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It is not possible to lose money by buying land, but she will not see any income in the short term, so she still decided to buy a shop, which can start a small business by herself or rent it out.

It's just that this amount of silver is not the income of her Liyan Fang after all, it was given to the fourth elder brother by the emperor, so when Min Jue started, he thought about it more.

If she loses her own silver, she will lose it, but this amount of money is the fourth elder brother's family fund, so she has to be cautious.

She has a lot of silver, but the fourth elder brother is a prince, where will she use her daughter-in-law's money.

After she signed the contract and paid the money, the refugees from Shanxi also went to the outside of the capital.

After the earthquake, the most difficult thing to solve is the disaster.

According to the meaning of the masters in the palace, these homeless people naturally cannot enter Beijing, because there are many people, tens of thousands of people, and it is a troublesome thing to enter the capital.

With so many people, you can't all go to Beijing to ask for food.

In addition, there are many people who get sick after the earthquake, and most of them are infected, so naturally they cannot be let into Beijing.

They were all left outside the city, and it was ten miles away from the capital, and with such a distance, the nobles felt that they were safe.

Min Jue had people prepare rice and noodles early, filled many empty houses in the backyard of Baylor House, and now sent people to give soup porridge and steamed buns.

Many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing also sent servants to give porridge, but these people did not have much grain in their homes, so they naturally wanted to buy it.

In the Ning'an Hall of Changchun Garden, the noble concubine Niu Hulu sat on the top seat, looked at a room of concubines, supported her forehead and said: "There are quite a lot of homeless people outside the capital, although many wealthy families in Beijing have set up porridge sheds, but the palace can't say nothing at all, before the emperor comes up with a specific charter, we have to do our best." ”

As soon as the concubines heard this, they knew that their purses were going to shrink, and the vast majority of them were reluctant, after all, many of them were not from families, and they asked for silver everywhere in the palace to beg for life, and some had to make up for their mother's family, and there was no balance at all.

But the concubine has said it, everyone has to express something.

"Sisters, don't worry, this palace knows that everyone doesn't have a lot of money, and asking you to give money is embarrassing you," the concubine laughed softly.

Although the emperor of their family has many concubines, the emperor is really not generous, and in the past two years, he has always fought with Dzungaria, and the military expenses required are astronomical, so naturally he will not spend too much silver on the harem ladies.

You don't get much other than the things in the example.

But the ladies in the palace want to get the emperor's favor, so they naturally want to dress themselves up beautifully, in addition to the clothes and jewelry in the example, they also have to buy some of them.

One word...... There are so many places where money is used, and everyone is poor.

"Your sisters can sort out the items in the palace, and if they are old or unusable, they can be registered in the register, and someone will be sent to send them, and the palace will send someone to sell them and convert them into silver." The concubine said in a low voice.
