Chapter 185: The Imperial Observatory
Seeing that they were talking and laughing, the fourth lady picked the corners of her mouth lightly and diverted the topic, "Didn't you say that the imperial treasury was empty, and the prince was in a hurry to prepare for the military salary, and I thought it would take several days, but I didn't expect it to be solved so quickly." ”
The third wife wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with an acacia handkerchief, "The fourth brother and sister don't know something, I heard my lord say that the imperial court was originally quite short of money, and this was not opened on the water side, and he earned a lot of silver on the same day, and the prince took it all to use as silver, it is said that there is not a million, but also 800,000 taels, and it is rumored outside, this battle is not like the imperial court is fighting, but it is like our Zhennan Wangfu and Nanshun and North are fighting." ”
Zhiwanxiu frowned, and then her eyes shone again, and she earned 1.8 million taels on the first day of business on the water side?
The eldest lady asked first, "There are so many?" ”
The third wife glanced at Zhiwan with envy and jealousy, "This is already a little to say, there are not many others in Kyoto, that is, there are many dignitaries and nobles, many sons and daughters, and one hand, counting down, there are two million taels of silver a year, and there are small households, such a gathering place for nobles, if you want to go in to try your luck, it is twenty taels of silver for a trip, and there is a restaurant inside, there is not a forty or fifty taels in your arms to enter and you may not be full, I heard that some people have entered since the opening day, but now they have not come out." ”
The fourth lady nodded, "This is the truth, from the opening of the water side to today, it has only been five or six days, and the four rooms have spent two thousand taels in it, Xuan'er yelled at me every day to stay inside, but I didn't allow it." ”
It's not that it's not allowed, but it can't be allowed, there are not many houses there, there is a courtyard on three floors, there are ninety-nine houses, ten taels of silver for one night, Xuan'er's monthly money is only forty taels, and it will be gone after four nights, who is willing to do it?
Ye Ranshu pulled Zhiwan's cloud sleeves and pursed his lips. "Sister-in-law, I want to learn the piano from Mr. Yun, can you help me tell her?"
Zhiwan raised her eyebrows, "Didn't Mr. Yun teach you?" ”
"Not really. I went late that day, and when I wanted to sign up, the places were full, and I wanted to learn, and I had to wait until a month later, I couldn't wait, the shop was yours, you can help me talk about it. ”
This is going to go through the back door, and it is a little difficult to know the night, once this head is opened. But it's not easy to finish, "The arrangement of the Qin Building was discussed by Mr. Yun and the other three gentlemen, and the rules were set with me earlier, and everything was in accordance with the rules, without exceptions." If you want to learn, you can only wait in line slowly, isn't there a gentleman in the house, you first lay a good foundation with them. ”
Ye Ranyu's little face suddenly collapsed, and the fourth wife was not happy, the shop was hers, why couldn't she help with this little favor?
Just arrived at Zizhu Temple. Bai Xiang stepped forward and muttered two sentences in Zhiwan's ear, Zhiwan's eyes almost breathed fire, Ye Yunshu pricked up his ears and listened, and caught a few words: 1.6 million taels.
Ye Yunshu almost didn't stun, what kind of number is this. She fantasized about her dowry when she got married, ten miles of red makeup, and it was only 350,000 silver, 1.6 million taels, how much did it be?
No wonder the ladies consulted. After discussing it, they all want to participate in one share, and one share is 160,000 taels!
Zhiwan almost went crazy, and his teeth creaked, "That means all the money I want to earn in a year is used as salary?!" ”
Bai Xiang nodded his head, "The shopkeeper just said that he still owes 130,000 taels of debt on the water side...... ”
Ye Yunyu's eyes widened, full of disbelief, "Earn so much silver, how can you pay off your debts?" ”
Bai Xiang pursed her lips and said, "It was said that the silver money was in hand, and it was taken away by the prince before it was used to repay the debt, and the money was all money to buy medicinal materials, jade, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the account was settled once every three months, so I didn't pay it in a hurry." ”
Zhiwan rubbed his temples with a headache and stepped into the courtyard.
In the house, when Zhiwan went in, he didn't see the princess, and after a while, the princess came, sat down and waited for Zhiwan to say goodbye, and then said, "I've lost a lot of weight, why don't you see them?" ”
Zhiwan replied, "Chen'er Si'er is asleep, and I will bring them to greet the princess tomorrow." ”
The maid brought the tea up, the princess took it, flicked it with the lid of the tea cup, took a sip, put it down, and heard the evening saying, "It's nothing, I'll go back to Linmoxuan first." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to leave yet," the princess interrupted Zhiwan's salute, and Zhiwan blinked her eyes and looked at the princess with a puzzled expression.
The princess gently wiped the tea juice from the corner of her mouth, glanced at a few wives, and then said, "On the water side is Zhennan Wangfu, the fourth young master went to Nanyuan to play, but was stopped by someone, he smiled and was generous, it is okay to be strict with outsiders, and he is like this to his own family, doesn't this make outsiders say that our Zhennan Wang brothers are not harmonious?" ”
Zhiwan frowned, "How can there be no brand, I asked the manager to send the brand back!" ”
The princess's face froze, and Mother Zhao said, "The princess of the county only asked people to send two tokens, one for the county lord and one for the second young master, and there is not even a princess, how can the fourth young master not have it?" ”
Zhiwan asked people to send nine tokens back, one for the old lady, two for the princess, one year limit, and the remaining three rooms are two yuan, but one for half a year, one for one year, the secret guards on the water side are all the prince's, the prince goes, no one will and no one dares to stop it, is it to blame her for sending less?
If it was before, Zhiwan would be very happy, but just let them go in to play, and let it go, but now, Zhiwan's stomach is on fire, how can it become Zhennan Wangfu on the water side, it is obviously dusty and Si'er!
Zhiwan exhaled twice, and then smiled, "Don't you think that a few aunts will send less, originally I planned to send one to a few uncles and aunts a year, if a few aunts dislike less, I will send one to the young masters and girls in the house, but this time, the business on the water side is good, but I can't stand the prince to take one hundred and sixty thousand taels, and now I still owe a deficit of more than 100,000 taels." ”
Get two tickets a year and send one year with everyone, which one is more cost-effective?
In fact, Zhiwan has done enough generously, who would be as generous as Zhiwan, a gift is a few hundred taels of silver, but they are not satisfied!
The fourth lady smiled and said, "Our aunts didn't say that you gave less, but just made two more brands, and there is no loss on the water side, right?" ”
The corners of Zhiwan's mouth slanted upward, "How can there be no loss, the strange flowers inside, the racetrack, and the swimming pool are all free and open, whoever wants to come to the palace to see the flowers, casual people will allow him to enter." What did you do with the palace? ”
When the third wife heard this, she pretended to be angry and said, "Daughter-in-law Yue, you are too calculating." You have so many brewing recipes in your hands, just give them to the Yuan Mansion and the Chu Mansion, how much do you earn for them, we are a family, why do you turn your elbows out? ”
Zhiwan chuckled, "Third aunt, how do you listen to the wind is the rain, the brewing recipe is indeed good for me, but I didn't give it to them casually." They listened to the prince's instructions and took their due share, and I just used the brewing recipe to buy shares. ”
After the prohibition was issued, Chu Pei and others took the initiative to change their shares, and the three of them accounted for two percent. Of the remaining forty percent, she accounts for two percent, and the emperor accounts for two percent.
They ran to the Northern Qi, entered the Southern Shun, and came back to buy grain, can they? Although they lived in the Zhennan Palace, they left the Zhennan Palace. They are nothing, but they are afraid that they will not even have enough manpower.
Ye Jiaoshu sat on the side and said puzzledly, "The palace wants to have people and people, and it wants to be powerful and powerful, why bother others?" ”
Zhiwan glanced at her. She was pretty, but the accusation in her eyes could not be hidden, so she was caught right, and she was panicked at that time.
"Who among you could have imagined Prohibition? Who can do it if I give three points of shares and voluntarily return one point? Who can do it, the prince of the county will leave Beijing for two months. Conscientious and overnight in the barracks? ”
Zhiwan stood up and continued, "Xianggong is a gentleman, the young master in the palace is afraid to avoid him when he sees him, for fear of being implicated by him, the young master of Yuan Da avoids his father and calls Xianggong a brother and brother, this friendship is enough for those secret recipes, whoever treats me sincerely, Xianggong and I will naturally repay the favor." ”
As he spoke, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he asked a few rhetorical questions one after another, and several wives had hot faces, and Zhiwan not only sarcastically mocked them for their incompetence, but also ridiculed them for their bad intentions.
Ye Yanshu was not happy, bluffing her face, "It's not that we don't play with the eldest brother, it's that he doesn't want to play with us, he is bold, and what he does is deviant, with him, his heart and liver can be scared, besides, you have only been married into the palace for a few days, and how much do you know about the young master in the mansion, how can you conclude that they can't come up with such a way?" ”
Poria stood behind Zhiwan, hearing her words, her eyelids rolled over, the secret recipe is the princess of the county, the princess of the county loves it, who stipulates that it must be given to them, even if it is the turn of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Poria cocos looked at Zhiwan's face, and saw that she was also quite impatient, and her tone was not safe, "I have no secret recipe for winemaking, I only have medicine and incense prescriptions in my hand, you can take it out to you, as long as the young master in the house can pass the test, I will not embarrass them, how the three thousand soldiers are trained, how to train, If you can't bear such hardship, you can't bear ....... ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, it was Ye Jiaoyu, "Sister-in-law, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother are not good at martial arts." ”
Zhiwan almost burst into anger, endured the anger in his belly, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm not good at martial arts, and I don't embarrass them, if you don't need to use your brain, someone will bring sixty-four stools!" ”
Soon, there were sixty-four stools in the yard, Zhiwan picked up the melon seed plate on the table and walked out, put one melon seed on the first stool, two melon seeds on the second stool, and four melon seeds on the third stool, and then looked at the four wives, hooked their lips and smiled, "The melon seeds on the latter stool are twice as large as the previous one, as long as these stools are filled, I will give them to her on the water side!" ”
After speaking, Zhiwan put down the plate and instructed Poria, "Look at it, I'll go back to the yard first." ”
Poria pouted, afraid that she would be confused, and reminded with a bitter face, "Princess Jun, this is not a joke, they won't allow you to joke!" ”
"I'm not kidding."
"If you say it, it will naturally count," for fear of knowing that it would be late, the third lady was busy, with a happy face, and her heart was already regarded as her own private on the water side, even if it was not her alone, at least there were two percent of the shares!
Leng Shi was guarding in the courtyard, anxious, the previous prescription was easy to say, no harm at all, the problem on the water side is big, the princess of the county is the most unbearable, I have to tell the master to go, Leng Shi is just about to leave, I heard the late way, "This melon seed tastes good, how can I forget the melon seeds on the water side, and all the melon seeds on this stool will be sent to Lin Moxuan for me in a while, a few aunts are willing to go?" ”
Can you be reluctant? Compared with the water side, no matter how many melon seeds are willing!
"If there are not enough melon seeds, peanuts, apples, and rice are eaten, as long as they are counted by grains, I have always been generous."
Leng Shi can cry, princess of the county, what do you want to eat, can your subordinates buy it back for you, even if you owe it on the water side, but the debt is not enough to make people worry about it, right?
The Imperial Study.
On the sandalwood inlaid jade chair, the man sat comfortably, throwing peanuts into his mouth one after another, and Gonggong Xu personally brought the tea over, "The prince of the county tastes it, this is the dragon well before the rain soaked by the slave himself, I don't know if it can meet the appetite of the prince of the county?" ”
Ye Guiyue clapped his hands, took the teacup, and took a sip, "It tastes good, sweet aftertaste, no wonder the emperor loves to drink the tea you made, I will ask the emperor for you, go to Linmoxuan to brew it for me every day." ”
When Gonggong Xu heard this, his face full of wrinkles smiled, "That dare is good, the old slave is looking forward to ...... that day." ”
Syllable!
When the sound of the book smashing the dragon came, Gonggong Xu's face turned white with fright, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has no half-hearted ....... ”
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at him and asked Ye Guiyue, "Is there any evidence?" ”
"I've checked it, and the account books are real."
Emperor Wen Yuan was cold, "It's really bold, let him lead the soldiers and horses, cry with me every year, I can't raise horses, Suzhou horses are only 5,000, but there are as many as 10,000 horses, where did the 5,000 horses go?!" ”
Gonggong Xu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, got up cautiously, and said in his heart, isn't King Xiang solely responsible for this horse raising matter, Princess Ronghua's concubine is the deputy of the horse, and there is such a big mistake, is King Xiang guilty this time.
There are 5,000 war horses in Suzhou alone, and there are also Tongzhou and Haizhou, and I don't know how big the basket is that King Xiang stabbed.
first raised private soldiers, and then war horses, adding up two words: rebellion.
Emperor Wenyuan has been the emperor for many years, so he can calm down, close the account book, and instruct Gonggong Xu to bring the silver sea yarn that was paid tribute last month, and a bunch of rewards.
Ye Guiyue listened with a sad expression, what do you really feel about those things, Emperor Wenyuan saw him like that, his mood suddenly deteriorated, this stinky boy was the first to be rewarded by him with a not very good expression.
As soon as the mood was bad, Emperor Wen Yuan began to pick a thorn, "Two days ago, there was an excerpt on the imperial history platform, saying that you forced the Xinguo Mansion to withdraw from the family affairs of the An family, and also forced the An Mansion to marry the Su family, is it really true?" ”
"Goshidai?"
