Chapter 259: There was a quarrel
"Niangniang, what we have used, it's not good to sell it to those people outside!" Concubine Yi frowned and said.
The things she used, for those ordinary people outside, she would get goosebumps.
The thought of the clothes, shoes and socks she wore on those people made her feel uncomfortable.
She has a good background, and her family has to send her a lot of silver every year, she is not short of silver, if she really wants to donate, she will donate silver, and she would rather pile up clothes and jewelry in the treasury and wait for a hundred years to be burned down, rather than wear them to those with low status.
The concubine glanced at her when she heard this, although she was not happy, but she still said patiently: "The palace has already made it clear to the emperor, let the foreign women enter the palace to choose first." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, that is, the things they didn't want would be sold to those officials and wives outside, and they would not fall into the hands of the common people, so it would be feasible.
"Okay, the concubine will clean up when she goes back, and she will be sent another day." Concubine Yi said with a smile.
The concubines in the room also echoed, but Concubine De stood up and said with a smile: "The concubine knows that the concubines have always been thrifty, and they don't buy many things, and they don't have many old clothes and jewelry, so they don't sell them." ”
"It's okay if you don't have old clothes and jewelry, Concubine De can fill it with silver." Concubine Yi smiled sarcastically.
In her opinion, Concubine De is a poor ghost.
said that she was thrifty, but because she didn't, if there was, she didn't believe that Concubine De would be thrifty.
What woman doesn't want to be glamorous enough to attract the emperor's attention?
Concubine De was really angry after listening to Concubine Yi's words.
She couldn't even sell her old clothes and jewelry with slightly better ones, so she didn't plan to take them in order not to lose face.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Yi actually asked her to fill it with silver.
If she had silver, would she be short of clothes and jewelry?
The two have been fighting for many years, and this battle of tongues is also a common thing.
Although Concubine De was very angry, it was not easy to quarrel with Concubine Yi because there were so many people.
It is precisely because she has a bad background and her mother's family is not strong, and she has lived a tight life for so many years, so Concubine De is very afraid that others will look down on her, and she loves face extraordinarily, so she has set up a thrifty character for herself, of course, she can't collapse.
She glanced at Concubine Yi, looked at the concubine who was sitting on the top position, and said unhurriedly: "Niangniang, the daughter-in-law of the concubine has set up several porridge shacks outside the city to give porridge to those disaster victims, and the concubine has already given her a sum of silver to help those disaster victims, but now she can't take out more." ”
The implication is that she has already made a sum of money, so she will be exempted this time.
Everyone was slightly stunned after listening to Concubine De's words, the low status didn't dare to say much, and the high status couldn't help laughing, stealing fun there.
Everyone has lived in the palace for many years, and they still know each other very well.
Concubine De was still very favored by the emperor in her early years, and she received many rewards at that time, so she naturally lived a very prosperous life.
But in the past few years, their older concubines have rarely slept in bed, and they have naturally received few rewards.
In addition, Concubine De is a short-term protector, and her mother's family is not successful, so she has to take care of some, and she will be even poorer and sour.
She moved out her daughter-in-law as a cover, which was really helpless.
But in the eyes of others, it is a swollen and fat man, a mother-in-law, who wants to use her daughter-in-law as a shield, is really shameful to be with her.
Of course, while these people laughed at Concubine De, they were still a little envious.
Who doesn't know that Concubine De's daughter-in-law is the owner of Liyan Fang, and there is so much money that she can't use it up.
"Since my sister has already donated a sum of silver, let's get rid of it this time." The concubine said with a smile.
She still gives face to these women in the second-rank concubine position.
Although she is a noble concubine, one level higher than them, and she is in charge of the harem by the emperor's will, but speaking of which, she has no favor, and she is not much better than these women.
Living in the palace, as long as her son is good and grows up safely, she can get by with everything.
In fact, the age of the concubine is younger than that of Concubine De and the others, but her background is the highest among these people, her sister is the second queen of the emperor, and for various reasons, it is her turn to take charge of the harem now.
The woman born by everyone is naturally more knowledgeable than others, if there is no demeanor and no tolerance, the emperor can change a woman to manage the harem at any time.
She can see clearly that it is impossible for the emperor to establish a queen again.
As long as you don't make mistakes, you will always be the actual ruler of this harem.
"Thank you, mother." Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her chair with a smile.
Of course she knew that these women looked down on her, but so what?
She now has two sons, and her five princesses are favored by the queen mother and the emperor, no matter how bad she is, she is better than many women.
Concubine De has made up her mind that she will never help her mother's family in the future, after so many years, her mother's family has never been able to support her, and she is also disheartened.
I have helped them for so many years by saving money, but I haven't seen any results, not to mention, people still dislike the little silver she gave, and now she often comes to ask for it, which makes her annoyed.
Seeing her fourteenth elder brother growing up day by day, she has to think about her son, no matter how close her mother's family is, it can't compare to her son.
If he doesn't have savings, he will have to lose face when his son marries a daughter-in-law in the future.
Speaking of which, her family Yinzhen has the ability, although she has no silver to give, but the emperor gave it, and her family doesn't know if she has this ability after the fourteenth year, so that the emperor can take care of it so much.
"People who know will say that Concubine De is thrifty, and those who don't know think how poor and sour the lady in the palace is, who doesn't know in this palace and outside the palace, your daughter-in-law has no more silver, I heard that the Sibeile Mansion wants something, and the life is no worse than that in the palace, and the scenery is very beautiful, why didn't you see them honoring you? You still have this dress from last year. Concubine Yi looked at Concubine De and said with a smile.
"What? This palace has to be like you every day, changing new clothes every day, full of pearls and greenery, so that others know that the son and daughter-in-law are filial? This palace is thrifty, and it has been like a day for decades, unlike some people, who say a little silver every day, as if others don't know. Concubine De said with a sneer.
If you lose, you don't lose, she must not fall behind in front of Concubine Yi.
"How did I hear that you are bent on marrying your niece to the fourth elder brother, and you have fallen out with your daughter-in-law, no wonder people don't treat you and don't honor you." Concubine Yi said sarcastically.
Concubine De was furious when she heard this, and said sharply: "If you talk nonsense again, the palace will ask the emperor to call the shots." ”
"Yo, move out of the emperor to press the palace? Do you think Hongu is afraid of you? There is a kind of going to Qingxi Book House with the palace now, and ask the emperor to decide. Concubine Yi shouted.
