Chapter 187: The Golden Egg

The old eight entered the palace to prepare to take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Xia Mo knew that after Suo Etu's death last year, the Internal Affairs Office was handed over to Sisi, although it was not explicitly said that he had seized the power of the prince, but the Internal Affairs Office controlled by the prince naturally changed its master.

Sisi is really capable, and he provoked the household department and the internal affairs office on one shoulder, that is to say, regardless of whether the inner library or the outer library, the old man believed him. Also, among the sons, the fourth child doesn't care about his old man's silver.

The eighth man can get the old man, and he definitely doesn't use his own, although he also helped the old man get a lot of money, but the kickbacks are also ruthless, and the old man is so angry that he has high blood pressure when he receives his fold, so it looks like it is still worry-free.

After the eighth came back, the old man meant that there was a lot of money in the inner treasury, but the household department had no money, so he asked the eighth to go to the household department to find money for the old man, and the old man also recognized the kickback. But is the eighth child the second stunned? The household department has to communicate with hundreds of officials, and the rebate is high. The eighth won't do it. I told my dad directly, basically he doesn't want to take care of anything, the old man really wants him to take care of it, and he can reluctantly manage the internal affairs office.

The old man's blood pressure went up at that time, but considering that the ministers were all watching, he could only grit his teeth and throw the Internal Affairs Office to him, otherwise he really told him, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to be the 'idle king'.

In fact, the Internal Affairs Office is not easy to accept, although it is not in contact with hundreds of officials, but where is there really a clean place, don't look at it as the private matter of the emperor's family, but the principle that the heavenly family is not small, in fact, the Internal Affairs Office is not a three-grade yamen, but not cronies, no one wants to do the fattest yamen in the world.

The Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the seven divisions and three courts. In principle, this is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But it's not. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is actually a small court.

For example, the inner court guards are managed by the ministers of the guards, but the ministers of the guards are generally relatives of the emperor, and the ministers in charge of the interior can manage him? The guards in the palace, the imperial village and other places are all deployed by him, and the people who ask for money and things directly tell the emperor that they don't pay attention to you.

And the Internal Affairs Office also has a chief eunuch, who is generally a close eunuch around the emperor, and leads all the eunuchs and palace maids inside and outside the palace; Don't underestimate these eunuchs, they have the preferences of the upper hall, and they can make the so-called ministers angry at any time.

And then there is the queen in the palace, holding the phoenix seal. The trivial matters of the harem are all managed by her, what the internal affairs office wants to do, the princess marries, and the prince marries, all of which are ordered by the queen, and they go to procure, so the queen, or the queen mother, cannot be offended.

It was already complicated enough, and I don't know what the old man thought, so another prince was added to the Minister of the Interior to consul. This became an N-party wrestling, coordinated by the prince, and finally reported to the old man. In the end, the end is often to go along with the same stream and hide from the emperor alone.

The prince and Suo Etu have been in business for many years, except for the office managed by Lao Ba, they can't get involved, and almost all the other departments have their shadows. In addition, Sisi also took over for a year, and if she wants the Internal Affairs Office not to cause trouble, she naturally has to intervene in her own people, and in addition, Concubine De has been in the prime minister's harem for many years, so she naturally has her connections.

It is actually quite difficult for Lao Ba to directly take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The purchase of the harem alone is a big problem, and after going to see the account book, the eighth child vomited blood, and he didn't dare to read the second page, so he went home and lay down.

"Why did you come back so early?" Xia Mo naturally had to do her duty as a wife and come over to take a look.

"What about the little bun and the old eighteen?" The eighth is weak.

"I went on horseback, and I discussed it with my fourth sister-in-law, and dismantled some of the empty houses behind the two and made a stable together, and I could run two laps, and the children in the fourth brother's house could also play together." Xia Mo has been doing this for the past few days, Jinhui is also refreshing, and the small piece in the back can't play a role in her own home, just two families are together, and everyone is cheap.

"Why did you come back so early?" Xia Mo saw that the eighth child was still nesting on the kang, patted him, and asked again.

"I went to look at the accounts of the palace and came back." The eighth child is really gloomy, he is desperately trying to make money in the Northeast, it turns out that the old man spent it like this, and he was angry with him.

"Questions?" Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, it seems that there has not been any book that has ever said anything about the purchase of the Internal Affairs Office, but it seems that "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" has said about selling fake medicines, and she was still laughing at the time, bullying her for being ignorant? Dare there be fake medicine in the palace? The palace would rather buy things that are ten times more expensive, but they must not dare to buy fake ones, no matter how many pairs of eyes are staring, it is a life-and-death struggle, not to mention that the eunuchs came out of Beijing to buy them. Isn't it? Eunuchs are not allowed to go out of Beijing, this is a matter of the rules, An Dehai is favored, and he was killed. But it has nothing to do with this, she patted her head and looked at the eighth child.

"How much is an egg?" The eighth child stared at Xia Mo.

"Fle? Counting by the pieces in the palace? Xia Mo looked at the eighth child blankly, he bought it by the box in the supermarket in his last life, a box of twelve pieces. Later, she was scolded by her mother-in-law for not being a house, and asked her to go to the traditional market to buy it. I really haven't heard of counting by the piece, there are so many people in the palace, one person eats one a day, and it is enough to count.

"What is our family's plan?"

"On catties, one catty and sixteen taels, more than ten small ones!" Xia Mo didn't know very well, anyway, when she was in elementary school in her last life, it seemed that there was a multiple-choice question in the nature class exam, saying how many grams of an egg is, she stared at the four numbers A, B, C, D below for a long time, and finally used the elimination method to do it, went home and asked the old lady, the old lady couldn't, take her to the market and let people call her. She was at peace because none of the four answers in the exam were correct. It is estimated that the question is the same as her, and she never buys groceries.

"Do you know how much silver is a pound?" The eighth turned over to look at her.

"Silver?" Xia Mo was stunned again, do you have to buy eggs with silver? patted his head, "Waiter, call Mama Tang in." ”

Asked like Lao Ba, she was already dizzy, although she was in charge of the house, but she really didn't know the details.

Xiao Tang quickly came in, saluted, and was wondering what the master told him to do. As a result, Xia Mo startled Xiao Tang as soon as he spoke.

"Grandma, how much silver is an egg on the market now?"

Xiao Tang's face turned pale, and after a while, he knelt down directly, "Master, the kitchen procurement in the house is all in charge of Aunt Wang's grandmother, and the slave only allocates the silver according to the routine, as for the specific price, the slave doesn't know." ”

"Hey, grandma, I'm asking you how much silver is sold on the market, the monthly living expenses in the house are all fixed, and the rest is Wang's, so you don't have to worry about that." Xia Mo is really speechless.

When Xiao Tang heard this, he hurriedly stood up, as long as it had nothing to do with himself, he thought about it and said, "The chicken is a cheap thing, you can buy one for three or four stripes, the master asked what is this for?" ”

The eighth child began to pat his head and moaned harder, Xia Mo looked at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I have a headache, I feel distressed, I told you to go down, I want to eat a whole egg banquet in the evening, you make the next post to the fourth brother and invite him to come over for dinner." The eighth brother is really full of inflow now, or is it a wide cloth strip of tears, is it possible to become the prince in front, does the fourth brother look like a wronged head? Even if they look alike, will they be alike?

"You go and see if Xiao Baozi and the Eighteenth Master have had enough, let them come back and take a bath, don't catch a cold." Xia Mo looked at the appearance of the eighth child, and thought that she knew what was going on, so she was busy finding something to do for Xiao Tang's family, and when she went out, she patted the eighth child.

"Alright. Originally, it is expensive to buy things in the public, so you should not be too much like doing business outside. Even if you do this for a thousand years, you will do this, and if you want to be angry about this, it is really not worth it. ”

Xia Mo didn't know anything else, but she had also worked in the kindergarten for several years, and it was clear that the bed sheets used by the children were only one hundred and two when she bought pure cotton in the supermarket, and she also brought a pillowcase. However, the kindergarten collective purchase is also one hundred and twenty-one beds, without pillowcases, or three no products. I went home and told my husband, who thought for a long time and said that people in kindergarten are kind.

Xia Mo knew that this was really too pediatric, so now the price of the old baqi eggs in the palace is higher than outside, isn't this a convention, isn't it normal to be several times taller. It's really not enough to be angry for this.

The eighth glanced at her, turned his back and ignored her, Xia Mo laughed, leaned down and kissed the eight, the simple eight is so cute, it turns out that the innocent is more than himself, how good.

In the evening, Sisi came over with a stone face, and the big stone table was full of dishes made of eggs, which was also a loss to the kitchen, but Xia Mo seemed to have heard that the pleats of the Western chef's hat were the numbers representing the N many ways of making eggs.

Now I look at the chef in my own house is really good, I did it with tricks, but there is really no repetition, and it is not as monotonous as the West does, it seems very fresh.

Eighteen and Xiao Baozi's rice was opened in their own room, but when Sisi came, they had to come over to see the ceremony first, the old eighteen looked at the dishes on the table, and the saliva was about to flow down.

"Your family is so rich, and you can eat such an expensive thing."

"Are eggs expensive?" Xiao Baozi doesn't love this, anyway, since he remembers, the nurse will give him at least one every day, steamed, boiled, fried and burned, he is almost annoyed to death, why is Uncle Eighteen so surprised?

And Xia Mo looked at Eighteen and said that it was expensive, and almost choked himself to death, and looked at the eighth child suspiciously, and also looked at Four.

Sisi didn't move the ground and didn't shake the mountain, still with a stone face, and glared at the old eighteen, "Go to dinner." ”

"Do we eat the same too?" Old Eighteen asked unwillingly.

After Xia Mo's assurance, Eighteen happily pulled the depressed little bun and went to eat. Xia Mo decided that it was better to stay away, and was about to say goodbye, but the eighth child waved his hand, "Fujin just stay and serve, you all go out." ”

After everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, they withdrew in a line, Xia Mo glared at Lao Ba, not because she was afraid of serving, but because she didn't want to hear this.

"Fourth brother, don't you have anything you want to tell your younger brother?" The eighth child gave Sisi a braised whole egg. It is roasted with dried scallops and pork belly, and in order to make the eggs flavorful, they are pierced with a long needle, but the appearance is not messy.

"Ten taels of silver, so you gave me it?" Sisi was not polite, scooped up the spoon, took a bite, and sighed lightly.

Xia Mo knew that Sisi didn't like these dishes very much, so he thought about it and was about to give him some vegetarian egg rolls, which would be lighter. As a result, when he heard Sisi say this, the egg roll in his hand fell back into the plate.

"It's good that it's on the plate, otherwise it would have dropped five taels of silver." The eighth smiled bitterly.
