Article 1323

When the shopkeeper heard this, he shouted as if he had been blown up by thunder: "Hou Yexiao's saddle before and after the horse for so many years, although there is occasionally a hundred taels of silver, but the silver from each family has never dared to touch a cent, and those people are not only to send things to the old slave's store, you can also receive gift orders here, what can the old slave do, this is a wrongful death of the old slave, the things are carefully accepted in the house, the old slave never dares to move these, and this year is not good, Last year's grain harvest was poor, so this year everyone has a lot less. ”

In fact, Beidinghou is to scare the shopkeeper, this person has weaknesses to be easy to grasp, usually the shopkeeper is greedy for one hundred and eighty taels, Beidinghou He Hoard doesn't care, but if you really don't kill this atmosphere, maybe you will have a different heart.

But what happened to the side branches and officials? Recently, there have been too few, so when will the He family be able to grow like this?

In fact, the most important thing is that fifty percent of the silver will be given to the emperor in the palace, and the emperor will acquiesce.

However, although it is said to be fifty percent, but generally more than thirty percent, about fifty thousand, usually these people are filial piety up but a lot, Beidinghou and many imperial businessmen also have contacts, so these people also have a few million filial piety every year.

It is not a loss to give 30% of it to the emperor, but in the past year, the economy has been sluggish, even if there are not many opportunities for officials to be greedy for ink, and the treasury is also empty, so at this time, it is obvious that the gold of those shops that make money is expensive.

The shopkeeper was about to break his forehead, and then he heard Bei Dinghou above say: "Okay, be vigilant in the future, you can get up to five hundred taels a year, more than this amount, you can go home to retire, and you have to forget everything you know." ”

The back of the shopkeeper was soaked, and he immediately said: "The little one has done his best all his life, and he will never have two hearts, please rest assured." ”

Beiding waited for He Ho's face to improve a lot, ordered a few things, and then asked the little guy to take the shopkeeper to wash his face, but he didn't have to come to the Hou Mansion, and went back to make his face look bad, and he gave a reward of twenty taels of silver and let the shopkeeper go.

After the shopkeeper left, He Ho quickly went to the backyard, this is not a room where the women said who bought the water jade jewelry beautifully, how much money, etc., and said that he wanted to swim in the lake, and saw that Beiding waited to go in, and the women in this room got up and said that.

In less than a while, Bei Dinghou verified that what the shopkeeper said was true, and there was more smile on his face, and this time he looked at He Qizheng's concubine, that is, the eldest son born by Cao Yanrui, and hugged him happily, and the child smiled directly, not afraid of people at all.

Now Cao Yanrui is already a noble concubine because she gave birth to her eldest son, and she is only one step away from her wife, but she also knows that it is difficult.

There are seventeen or eighteen concubine rooms in the north of the house, the second master He Pu in the second room also has more than 20 concubine rooms, and the third master in the third room He Sleepy has ten concubine rooms.

plus a few young masters, the first to bear the brunt is He Qizheng, although he has not yet married a wife, but the concubine is already fifteen or sixteen, and there is a growing trend.

This younger brother He Qichi can be better, there are eight or nine aunts, and the young masters in the remaining rooms are all common diseases, so the room is full of women, and most of the silver in this He Mansion is estimated to have been spent by these women, but the ability of these daughters to make money should not be underestimated.

At this time, He Qizheng's eldest son cried, and Beiding Hou He Ho took this opportunity to angrily give the child to the mother-in-law on the side and said: "In the past few months, there has been a lot of filial piety in all aspects, you women know how to dress yourself every day, and you don't know how to contribute to the He family, and the silver in each room shall not exceed two thousand taels a month in the future. ”

All of a sudden, the women in the room stopped talking, and their expressions were dark and inexplicable.

In the past few years, the filial piety has been incessant, and the families of these women have been almost wiped out, and whoever earns money can spend the silver faster.

No matter how much family background there is, it can't withstand the He family's filial piety, at least a few thousand taels per month, and the less is eight hundred and one thousand taels, and the women of the merchants can still support it, but these women are a little embarrassed.

So the face is not very good.

In the past few years, many industries have not made much money, and every month these women have to be ranked by the amount of filial piety and silver of their family, so that the lord can stay in his room for a few more days, and they are also exhausted.

Otherwise, there are only two thousand taels a month, which wins the attention of the masters, this fragrant powder rouge, bead hairpins and rings, and those who wear clothes and hats must be exquisite, otherwise there is no man in this backyard to support him, how to live this day.

Not to mention that if the time goes on and the mother's family does not contribute, then this official position and his position in the house will not be able to be maintained, and this bit of silver will be waiting to drink the northwest wind for a month.

Seeing that these women didn't squeak, Beiding Hou He Ho gave his wife Ma Shi a color, and Ma Shi immediately began to put pressure on him.

Ma Shi took a sip of tea and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and said: "What the master said is not alarmist, we don't care about the inner courtyard of this other family, but the rules of our He family are also indestructible, if you want your master not to see you for a few months, you just wait to fall out of favor." ”

Ma's can be regarded as the eldest daughter-in-law, although she usually looks majestic, but the family is powerful, and she can queue for a few days every month, so she firmly occupies the position of the housewife.

It is unequivocal to teach the concubine a lesson, but Ma Shi knows that these women can't squeeze out oil, and every time they look like they are going to fall out of favor, they come back and turn over, of course, these women are not good, and she will help the old man find a lot of women later.

Therefore, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the generation contributes more than the generation, which is also the management of the inner courtyard of the Ma family, no matter who is beautiful or not, who gets the heart of the lord or not, only recognize who has made a great contribution to the family, and ranks in turn, impartial.

Not to mention that the aunts of this Beiding Houfu are all very promising, and the family foundation is good, of course, this silver is filial piety, and the official position of the family is not low, so it belongs to the disguised purchase of officials from the backyard.

The second master, He Pu, was very happy in his heart, he didn't have to contribute, he just married a few more women, he could still talk softly about beauties, and he also had silver to contribute to the family, who didn't want such a good thing.

So after the eldest brother and sister-in-law said it, He Pu hurriedly criticized these women in the second room and said: "Did you hear it, the eldest brother has spoken, if your mother's family is hiding it this month, and you can't be filial, you know the consequences yourself, don't say that the master doesn't want to see you." ”

The wife of He Pu in the second room, Chen, also taught the concubine a lesson: "The rules of our yard are still like that, you all weigh it yourself, and I won't say anything if you say too much." ”

The concubine in the second room is also stiff, isn't this embarrassing?

Where is this to come to compete for favor, this is simply exhausting, every month in order to be able to pay more filial piety to the Hou Mansion racking their brains, together with the family is also anxious, after all, the future of this family is here.

But where does the money come from? This is also a topic that the concubines of the three rooms think about together.

The lord of the third room, He Qian, squinted and enjoyed the massage given by his aunt, and when he saw that the two brothers and sisters-in-law had spoken, he was not far behind and said to the concubine of the third room: "The rules of our three rooms are still like that, if your filial piety is too little, don't cry and cry and say that you don't pamper you, the lord loves you very much, but the lord prefers to pamper the silver, otherwise you are a fairy and a beautiful man." ”

The wife of the third room, Rong Shi, said: "I don't have to say much about the rules of the third room, but you all listen to it, if there is a recession next month, we can only get two thousand taels of silver from the public school, what you want to buy, what you want to eat, what you drink, what you wear, it depends on yourself." ”

Although there are not many aunts in the third room, there are many merchants, and the family can support it for a while, so this waist pole is quite straight.

It is estimated that only the aunt in the third room is smiling happily, and the others are all drooping their heads and not speaking, not knowing what they are thinking.

Next is the younger generation of He Qizheng took the lead and said: "The juniors of our big house can't contribute too badly, no matter how you marry into the He family and enter my He Qizheng's yard, but the rules of the He family are the same, if you want the master to look at you a few more times, you can only make more contributions, you know, the Cao family will talk to them." ”

Cao's is Cao Yanrui, who is currently He Qizheng's concubine, because there is no housewife, temporarily taking this position, Cao Yanrui gave the child to the nurse and said: "You all know the rules of our house, the sisters do it themselves, don't say more, the hearts of the masters are not something we can win at will, the sisters have to contribute." ”

To say that this Cao Yanrui can get mixed to this point in He Mansion, it is also the ability of the Cao family's eldest lady Wang, although she is a half-old in front of the master, and she is basically not favored, but the dowry of the Cao family's eldest lady Wang is still good, and this Cao family is also a five-grade Beijing official to do it.

Isn't it that even Cao Runrui, the eldest son of the Cao family, is also a six-rank official, plus he married Zheng Yu'er, the daughter of Zheng Zongbing, so this Cao Yanrui's silver is quite loose, and it is not too difficult to get thousands of taels of silver every month, so she stands out from more than 20 women.

And it's been cleaned up quite a bite, and now it's a tyrant.

However, Cao Yanrui knows where her son comes from, but Cao Yanrui understands that He Fu also knows something, but she just looks at her own contribution and turns a blind eye, she happens to lack a son, and her own maid in the room is born, why can't it be recorded in her own name.

This maid is also willing, if she becomes the woman of He Qizheng, she only has a monthly silver for a maid, and the child is even more nothing, so she is willing to give the child to the master's name.

I thought that I had climbed into the bed of the prince, but I didn't expect that there would be so many rules, she was a little maid, and every time she watched her master take out thousands of taels of silver in order to compete for favor, she was distressed.

So this son is willing to give it to the master, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to see his shadow in the backyard of the prince at all, let alone feed the child.

The two of them relied on the aunt's monthly silver of a few taels per month, and they had to faint from hunger.

Therefore, in the face of today's situation, it is not ambiguous to give the son to the master, not only can he be a wet nurse to take care of him nearby, but the future of the child will be much better in the future.

Beiding waited for He Ho to release a mobilization meeting, and he himself took the lead in leaving, and the room of people dispersed.

But when I returned to my respective yards, I was busy, and I was still busy, and I wrote letters one after another, asking for silver, and trying to find a way.

There are always a few days a month when you are upset.

It is estimated that the only surprise at this time is the little butterfly dressed in disguise, and the golden boat squatting on the beam, the two of them were ordered by the master to investigate the Beiding Hou Mansion, and they have been here for a few days, and they have gained the most today.

Little Butterfly's surprised mouth couldn't close, the two of them ran to a quiet place, Little Butterfly said: "Brother Jinzhou, you hurry up and report these things to the master, as for the origin of these aunts, I still have to inquire, and I will go back when the time comes." ”

Jin Zhou nodded and agreed, this time it was not in vain, not only did he hear the movement of the study, but he also knew a bunch of strange things in the backyard of the Beiding Mansion.

Jin Zhou waited for the sky to get a little darker, and flew out of the Hou Mansion with a dodge and ran towards the palace.

This Zi Qingyi and Yu Xi are counting silver tickets every time.

Counting back and forth, it was more than 400,000 taels of silver tickets, Qingyi smiled very happily, and deliberately made a jade box to hold these silver tickets.

Yu Xi doted on Qingyi and said: "I didn't expect the baby to be such a money fan, and in the future, I will guarantee my husband to let the baby count the silver tickets every day." ”

The two of them were tired of being crooked for a long time, and the water grandmother outside the house said: "Master, Jinzhou has something urgent to return." ”

Qingyi sat up from Yuxi's arms and said, "Go to the small study next to it." ”

Generally, Qingyi sees that her people are in a small study, where the sound insulation is better, and it is suitable for saying some more important things.

This is not Qingyi and Yuxi entered the small study, Jin Zhou will inquire about the matter in detail, Qingyi covered her mouth and looked at Yuxi in surprise.

In fact, Yuan Yuxi was also shocked, of course, a big man had nothing to do staring at what other people's backyards were doing, but he didn't expect so many aunts in Beidinghou Mansion to be of such use.

Qingyi and Yuxi felt a little incredible, is this He family shrewd to the bones, Qingyi sighed: "Yuxi, I didn't expect that the smartest one is the He family, although they are women in a courtyard, but they spend their own money, and they also contribute millions of silver to the He family every year. ”

Yu Xi also said: "Baby is reasonable, I didn't expect the He family's wealth to be such a method of accumulation in just a few years, and it is really a long experience, which was unheard of before." ”

Yu Xi also said: "Baby is reasonable, I didn't expect the He family's wealth to be such a method of accumulation in just a few years, and it is really a long experience, which was unheard of before." ”

Qingyi was really inspired by Beidinghou's special way of raising an aunt, which was really unheard of, unseen, and really amazing.

Then Jin Zhou reported some things about the shopkeeper of the Heyi Pavilion, and Qing Yi thought about it and said: "Although we don't know what this Heyi Pavilion is staring at us, but the attitude of this north to wait for everything to look at the money will not be wrong, you continue to stare at it, and report any news in time, but pay attention to safety." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Then Jin Zhou hurried back.

After Jin Zhou left, Qingyi wrote and painted on the table, sorted out his thoughts, and saw if the strange situation in the West Garden of the Wangfu in the past few days had anything to do with the Beiding Hou Mansion.
