Yu Xi also watched from the side and said: "Baby, although there were many aunts in the past, this idea seems to have only come up in the last six or seven years, and it is serious before and after the queen mother leaves the palace and returns to the palace, but now is the most powerful time." ”

Qingyi made a rough estimate and said: "Yuxi, according to the calculation of a hundred aunts in their house, they have to contribute something every month, so the average is five hundred taels per person, and that month is fifty thousand taels, and then counting the side branches like He Ciji, they can give more every once in a while, and those officials who want to be promoted and make a fortune, I am afraid that the income of the Beiding Marquis Mansion is conservatively estimated to be about 200,000 taels every month, but is it really like the Beiding Marquis Mansion said to give the royal fifty percent?" ”

Yu Xi also picked up the pen and abacus and calculated slightly: "The secret guard staring at the palace said that the old concubine gave the emperor about 30,000 taels of silver every month, I think it is at most thirty percent, and there are other Zhuangzi shops in the Beiding Marquis Mansion The income is not counted, these aunts' families have contributed a lot, many Zhuangzi shops are in the hands of aunts, and there is a fixed amount of silver every month, I am afraid that this amount of silver is also tens of thousands of taels per month, and it is not counted at all." ”

Qingyi saw this number, to say that there are many industries in Heping City, and his tricks are renovated very quickly, and it is common sense that he can earn silver or earn more at the foundation of a thousand machine gates.

Moreover, when the time comes, the silver will also be spent on the construction of the Peace City, Qingyi said faintly: "Yuxi, you said that our Peace City earns silver and spends silver for the construction of the entire city, but this He family does not train troops and is not in charge of the country, what do you want so much silver for?" ”

In fact, this question is also what Yu Xi is thinking about, what does the He family want to do? Of course, they don't believe that this He family is not tired.

There must be a problem with the Beiding Marquis Mansion, along with a few old women in the palace!

Then Yuxi pulled Qingyi out of the study and said: "Okay, baby, let's rest, I don't want these things, no matter what the He family is plotting, we will eventually dig it out!" ”

Qingyi went to rest with Yuxi, and slept a little unwell this night.

Kyoto Harem

The Imperial Concubine's Ronghua Palace is much quieter at the moment because it is night, in recent days, He Fenghua has risen to the status of the Imperial Concubine, and there are countless women who come to stammer every day, this is not He Fenghua's tired closed eyes to recuperate.

At this time, he didn't move when he heard the footsteps outside the door, but Mama Miao said, "Niangniang, Beiding is waiting for Mrs. to arrive." ”

If you want to ask Ma's what he is doing here, the answer is, of course, to send this month's contribution.

As soon as Ma Shi came in, he saw that the orange light of the night was unusually warm, and the bewitching figure under the gauze curtain was really charming.

The bumpy figure, fair skin, and long black hair are spread out, less majestic and more tender.

Ma Shi sighed even more that this sister-in-law is really powerful, she climbed to the position of imperial concubine at a young age, and the glory and wealth of the He family pointed to this aunt.

Ma Shi looked at He Fenghua who was wearing a light gauze feather coat, and praised her sister-in-law in her heart for really knowing how to maintain, she is the mother of three children, and she can always maintain such a figure, which is extremely charming, no wonder it is that the harem has been favored for many years, and she really has capital!

Of course, Ma Shi remembered his intentions, and this waist pole was also a little straighter, if there was no Hou Mansion to take care of it outside, the rouge gouache used by the concubine every day, where did the silver come from.

Ma Shi walked up to him and knelt down and said, "The courtiers ask the imperial concubine to say goodbye!" Imperial Concubine Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Imperial Concubine He Fenghua waved away the palace maid who was still massaging her, leaving only a close Mama Miao, "Sister-in-law is polite, they are all from her own family, and she doesn't need to be so restrained in front of the palace, Mama Miao is not ready to take a seat." ”

Ma knew that the imperial concubine was not what it used to be, so he didn't care about letting himself really salute, and the husband said that since ancient times, there has been a difference between monarchs and ministers.

This is not a third of the chair that the Ma family only sat on, so he quickly explained his intention, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you are a noble person in our Beiding Marquis Mansion, 30,000 taels of silver this month, the lord said that he must let the courtiers come over early and hand it over to the imperial concubine, whose silver is short, and the silver of the imperial concubine cannot be shortened." ”

The imperial concubine He Fenghua sat up enchantingly, tucked the broken hair in her ears behind her ears, and opened her phoenix eyes gently, looking at her sister-in-law in front of her.

Although the sister-in-law is older, fortunately, she is a good hand at managing the inner house, and she is also a good helper for herself.

Ma also straightened his back because of the imperial concubine's slightly appreciative eyes, and occasionally looked at the luxurious palace, and sure enough, the imperial concubine's palace was extraordinary.

Ma Shi also cautiously asked: "Niangniang's courtiers come here at this hour, will they disturb Niangniang's rest?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "It's okay, the palace has not rested early recently, the emperor because of the illness some time ago, this is not just a little more to live in the Qianqing Palace to deal with national affairs nearby." ”

Ma Shi said: "That's good, just don't disturb the mother, otherwise it will be the sin of the courtiers." ”

He Fenghua is very clear, this emperor still lives in the apse of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor's injury has not healed recently, so there are few times when she comes to the harem, so she boldly let her sister-in-law enter the palace so late.

Many things are inconvenient during the day, and there are many people.

It's not that I'm glad to hear that it's a gift of silver.

But when she heard the amount of silver, the imperial concubine frowned and said, "Oh? It's only so little, Bengong remembers that it was still 40,000 taels last month, why did it become 30,000 taels this month, is it that my brother is too tight? ”

Ma Shi immediately accompanied Xiaoyi and said: "This lady has wronged the old man, how can the old man be shorter than the food and clothing of the mother for so many years?" It's not that there is less filial piety at the end of this month, a total of more than 58,000 taels of silver have come up, and the lord still picks up the big head to the mother! ”

"Besides, the shop has been sluggish recently, last year's grain harvest was poor, and this year is not very good in all aspects, the lord has urged the family to unite last year, and the outside things are in Zhang Luo, and the head of this water jade was bought by the courtiers in the Ruyi Pavilion yesterday, I hope the imperial concubine likes it."

Yes, it was originally nearly 90,000 yuan, but when it arrived in the palace, it was wiped out more than 30,000 yuan, and it was really dark in Beidinghou, but only in this way can the business of filling private pockets achieve the purpose of getting rich.

It's hard to make money, it's easy to grab silver or someone to send it automatically, what's the difference between sitting on the cash and pie falling from the sky?

Mama Miao rushed up to the express, and as soon as the delicate jade box was opened, the soft light in the palace hit the head of this set of amethysts, which was really delicate and abnormal, dazzling.

Of course, the corners of the imperial concubine's mouth curled up Ma's was not wrong, this is not Baba said: "Niangniang, according to the store, this amethyst is also water jade, this purple water jade means that love is stronger than gold, especially the pattern of this lotus flower, it is also the meaning of flowers blooming and love is stronger than gold, which is also our Hou Mansion said that it is to give Niang Niang the intention of ascending the throne of the imperial concubine, I hope Niang Niang can like it." ”

The women in the harem like this paradoxical thing the most, especially if this love is better than Jin Jian or something, the imperial concubine likes it the most.

With so many women in the harem, who can compare with the emperor Jin Jian, it is not the most anticipated thing in my heart.

He Fenghua believes that for many years, she has been fighting with the slut Queen Du Shiling, and dealing with so many women in the palace, Du Shiling does not take herself in her eyes because of the prince, and now she is the imperial concubine, and she is a flat wife in the family.

He Fenghua suddenly remembered that on the day the edict was issued, the queen's face was very bad, but she was very happy in her heart, even the girls with the He family were worth doubled, and there were a lot of people who wanted to marry.

Now that she has this love than Jin Jian, and tens of thousands of taels of silver to the emperor every month, she He Fenghua also dares to work hard for the position of this queen.

The imperial concubine was very happy to accept it, this chic hairpin, as well as this chain, bracelet and earrings, are very beautiful, crystal clear, crystal cool, and really make her feel like she can't put it down.

I suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a set of purple Tianyun Jin Palace clothes yesterday, saying that it was worn at the concubine ceremony, and I was not willing to try it on.

Imperial Concubine He Fenghua said happily: "Brother's heart, this palace has a heart, this set of amethyst is very fond of this palace, in a few days is the palace concubine ceremony, when the palace will wear a purple Tianyun brocade palace dress, and then wear this set of amethyst head, I believe the emperor will definitely like it." ”

Ma's heart was put down a little, when this sister-in-law was at home, she couldn't figure it out, and now that she is on the throne of the concubine, she doesn't dare to speculate.

Ma then took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and said: "This 10,000 taels is given to Niangniang by the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye said that although the silver is not much, but this is the intention of the three rooms of the Hou Mansion to add together, Niangniang's concubine ceremony can not be sloppy, if you want to buy anything, tell the courtiers quickly, the courtiers in Kyoto to the Niangniang purchase and then send over, when the concubine ceremony, our Niangniang is more brilliant than that." ”

Imperial Concubine He Fenghua smiled proudly, or her brother knows her heart best, no matter what, she has to surpass Du Shiling's slut's post-sealing ceremony, so as to relieve the sulkness in her heart.

The imperial concubine fiddled with the amethyst hairpin in her hand and said, "I don't know where my sister-in-law bought this rare thing, I don't know if there is anything else?" If there is, buy more for the main palace. ”

Ma Shi originally wanted to talk about this matter, didn't he just doze off and sent a pillow, the mother said it was so obvious, how could she make it clear.

Ma Shi hurriedly said: "This is Kyoto's Ruyi Pavilion jewelry, Niang Niang can rest assured to wear, Ruyi Pavilion this time launched the crystal jewelry is not the same, this time only one hundred and sixty copies were launched, I heard that the store got a batch of rare water jade rough stones, only one copy of each, next time there is not easy to say, so Niang Niang does not have to worry that someone will steal the limelight of Niangniang,"

"This Ruyi Pavilion is a rising star in Kyoto, in less than a year, accounting for more than sixty percent of the share of Kyoto's jewelry industry, and Niangniang does not know that this crystal jewelry is very good once launched, and it has sold nearly 500,000 taels of silver in just one day for more than 100 points."

Imperial Concubine He Fenghua originally liked this water jade ornament very much, and when she saw it, it was as if she had eaten too much fish and meat, and it was also refreshing to have some porridge and side dishes.

I usually see a lot of red gold, gems and other things, but the main thing is that there are more red gold objects, and suddenly I saw the crystal is the porridge side dish, this silky touch, the shape is chic, and it really has the potential to make people love it.

Especially when I heard the amount of silver, I was too lazy to play with the crystal hairpin, but I sat up all of a sudden, and then I felt a little out of shape, and slowly lay back and said, "What industry is so profitable?" Why did the palace never know about this Ruyi Pavilion, this Ruyi Pavilion is so hot, this palace is very curious about this Ruyi Pavilion is so popular, so how is our industry Heyi Pavilion? ”

Ma's heart smiled secretly, I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait, although Ma's doesn't know anything else, but he knows that this sister-in-law has a characteristic that is particularly greedy, and it is estimated that she is going to give it to several princes in the future, even the queen mother also has this intention, but she will send the silver to the imperial concubine first.

Let's go back and distribute it to their aunts and nieces.

Ma Shi mentioned the Heyi Pavilion and changed his tone of lamentation and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, this Heyi Pavilion used to be good, especially the craftsmen who Niangniang found in the house, our business is still good, after all, the name of this house, Kyoto has not heard of which one dares to play it, and it has also earned a lot of silver for the industry." ”

"But after this Ruyi Pavilion came, there are also the Shuiyun Cloth Village and the Treasure Pavilion, our business has fallen badly, although it can't be said that it is beyond our means, but it is true that this money is limited, and I haven't slept well for many days for this Hou Ye."

The imperial concubine thought about it and said, "Have you found out where this Ruyi Pavilion is, whose property is in whose name?" ”

"This old man has been tracking for half a year, there is no clue at all, I was going to find out and tell the mother clearly, but I really can't find it, no one has seen the head of this Ruyi Pavilion appear in the store, only a shopkeeper and those subordinates are busy working inside."

In the past, the He family took a fancy to scolding a shop, saying that it was a shareholder and provided them with a backstage, and the other party didn't know how happy he was, even if he gave more silver, he was also happy.

The most annoying Ruyi Pavilion they inquired about I don't know how many times, and I don't know how many times they prompted it openly and secretly, but people are like they didn't see or hear.

If there was a way, I would have given myself a cup a long time ago, but after tracking it for so long, there is still no news, so I can only tell the imperial concubine, and everyone will get rich together.

The imperial concubine's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought for a long time and said: "Sister-in-law went back and told my brother, this palace and my brother will investigate together to see whose property it is, it has made it so mysterious, I can't even find out my brother, if you can buy shares, don't forget the share of this palace, in the future, when Qing'er becomes a big treasure, or when Feng'er is crowned king, our mother and son will not forget my brother, I won't leave my sister-in-law at such a late hour, and this palace will go to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace tomorrow to ask for peace, tell the Queen Mother the news, and bother my sister-in-law to run away." ”

Ma Shi got up and tidied up his clothes and said: "Where is the tiredness, Niangniang takes care of everything every day, the courtiers are just in charge of a house, and our Beiding Houfu is relatively close to the palace, and it is only two or three quarters of an hour back and forth, Niangniang takes care of herself in the palace, and if there is anything to ask Miao Mama to give a letter to the courtiers in time, by the way, I almost forgot this list to Niangniang, this is a person who has contributed a lot recently and performed well." ”

Mama Miao immediately took it, the imperial concubine and the Ma family knew what it was, and they looked at each other meaningfully and smiled, and the Ma family was arranged by the palace maid to leave the palace.

The imperial concubine returned to the inner room and looked at the magnificent Ronghua Palace, which she He Fenghua had worked hard for half her life, looking at the silver ticket and thinking that she could see the emperor again tomorrow, blowing the wind, she should really thank her brother for making such a great contribution.

Of course, the wind on his pillow is not blowing in vain, and now that the He family is employing people, these people are filial piety, so they naturally want to give some official positions.
