Chapter 30 Household Department
Chen Qiaoqiao's heart sank, even Xu Huifang said so, it seems that everyone is dissatisfied, is this the so-called excessive? It seems that she is going to restrain a little. "Mother-in-law, I heard the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law talk about it earlier, and they said that it was ...... Say yes ......"
Xu Huifang suddenly swallowed and spit out, "What do you say?" "This Chen Qiaoqiao is curious, what good things will the two birds say when they mix together!
"It's said that my mother-in-law has changed so much, I'm afraid it's stained with unclean things, and I want to find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits!" Xu Huifang still said it. Chen Qiaoqiao was suddenly stunned, her behavior had reached the point where she was like a ghost? No way?
"And such a thing? Alas! Mother-in-law just wants to plan for the future of Si Zuo and Si You, they are also the daughters of the loyal and brave generals, but they are illiterate, and ordinary girls have begun to say kiss, but who is planning for them? Do you want me to watch them marry into unbearable families? Then how can I be worthy of the dead master! After this catastrophe, I can figure it out, the reason why God doesn't accept me is that I want to take good care of this pair of children! Chen Qiaoqiao said with emotion, and Xu Huifang was also moved, "Mother-in-law! Don't worry, I understand your suffering, and I will never believe in the claim that some evil spirit possesses you! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao was slandering in her heart, in fact, Hu Feng and Ye Wanrong thought well, they were indeed souls possessed by Chen's body, and for them, they were evil ghosts.
Chen Qiaoqiao stopped crying, "How long is Shu Ping going this time?" When will you be back? ”
Xu Huifang said that when she said that Shu Ping showed a hint of a smile, "I'm afraid it will take more than ten days, thanks to my mother-in-law's silver, Shu Ping doesn't know how happy he is!" Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, "If you have nothing to do these days, come and be with your mother-in-law!" ”
Xu Huifang nodded, "Mother-in-law, I'll send you back to the room!" ”
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled, she still has a good daughter-in-law, she won't die of sorrow! came to their own yard, Si Zuo and Si You were playing games with Zhen'er, innocent appearance, without the slightest worldly troubles, for them, having good food and beautiful clothes to wear was already happiness.
Xu Huifang also looked at them with envy, and Chen Qiaoqiao's heart moved, "Huifang! When will you give birth to a big fat boy for your mother-in-law? Xu Huifang blushed suddenly, but she was stumped, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little suspicious, isn't there something wrong with her?
"Huifang, is your health not good? Tell my mother-in-law that if you are sick, you should be cured early! Chen Qiaoqiao was very worried, it was a big deal that this woman couldn't give birth to a child, just look at Hu Feng, although she was strong, but when she said this, she had no momentum.
Xu Huifang's face flushed, "Mother-in-law, it's not like this, it's Shu Ping who said that if you don't have fame, you don't want children, so I eat raccoon flowers!" ”
Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, she had long heard that this Huanhua grass had contraceptive effects, but she didn't expect it to be true? It's just that this statement is really unreliable, and if you don't have a fame, you don't want children, it's clear that you're afraid of being responsible!
At this time, Chunying walked in, "Madam, the third young grandmother, it's time to eat!" This Chen Qiaoqiao was shocked to realize that it was already past the meal now, and it seemed that if it wasn't for the trouble, this Mrs. Hu was going to eat here.
Chen Qiaoqiao and the children have eaten big buns, so naturally they won't be hungry, but they have to do it.
took them to the front hall, only to see that Hu Feng and Ye Wanrong had arrived, and Chen Bonian still did not appear. "Where's Bonian?" Chen Qiaoqiao asked.
Hu Feng snorted coldly, "Thanks to Erniang's blessing, our Bonian has become a small leader of the Jingxi Forbidden Army, and he can still eat!"
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be taken aback, "Didn't you say that it was the deputy envoy?" How did you become a team leader again? It seems that Hu Feng and Chen Bonian have reconciled again, Hu Feng knew that Chen Bonian had been hit like this, and it was too late to feel distressed, so he forgot what he said hurtfully.
"I heard that there is a silver lord, and I don't like our uncle! If I knew this, it would be better for An An to be a commander in the government, so I didn't need Erniang to ask Wang Duo Wang! Hu Feng actually threw this responsibility to Chen Qiaoqiao! At the beginning, it was clear that Chen Bonian wanted to cling to this Wang Duo.
Ye Wanrong's face was extremely bad, "Sister-in-law! Eat this today! Looking at the table of vegetarian dishes, Ye Wanrong was a little unable to swallow.
"Humph! If you have some to eat, your mother-in-law has offended my mother, maybe my mother will take back the manor given to me, and the Chen family will drink the northwest wind in the future! "Hu Feng is a little unforgiving.
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but drop her chopsticks, "Say what!" Even if you eat bran vegetables, it's better than looking at your Hu family's face! Chen Qiaoqiao's backbone came up again, what is it, and she is using money to pressure her again!
"Oops! Mother-in-law, you are so powerful, go to the household department to make trouble, what are you making trouble at home! My father-in-law died, and only the first year's of the silver for the court's pension was taken back, and the later silver was not given by the household department, and my mother-in-law was so powerful, to get this silver back, there were hundreds of taels, enough for our Chen family to eat for several months! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, Nima, what is the matter, these corrupt officials even earn the silver of the dead, is there any reason for this? The moment was filled with righteous indignation, "Good! If your mother-in-law asks for it, she will definitely get the money back! ”
Hu Feng snorted, "If my mother-in-law asks for this silver back, I will be convinced!" Chen Qiaoqiao didn't say anything, she took a few mouthfuls at random, but she was planning to collect debts in her heart, indeed, if you want to come back, their lives don't have to worry!
Zhen'er had just eaten the buns, and she had no appetite at all, she just pulled Si Zuo and Si You to play, Ye Wanrong said sadly: "Sister-in-law! You see, Zhen'er can't even eat, he's still growing his body! ”
Hu Feng groaned for a moment, "Xia Sheng, go to the kitchen and bring out that chicken!" Ye Wanrong was suddenly overjoyed, she knew that when Mrs. Hu came, Hu Feng would definitely prepare some delicious dishes. Originally, Hu Feng didn't want to bring it out, but she liked Chen Zhen very much, she thought in her heart, if Ye Wanrong's baby was still a boy, she would discuss it and pass Chen Zhen over, so she couldn't treat Chen Zhen badly.
The fragrant chicken was served, Zhen'er was really attracted, and ate a few pieces, and Ye Wanrong was even more unceremonious, eating a full meal. Chen Qiaoqiao looked at Zhen'er who was gnawing on the chicken, "Wanrong! Tomorrow I will take Zhen'er to the household department, you are looking for a shabby clothes, rest assured, the silver will come back, Zhen'er's share is indispensable to yours! ”
Ye Wanrong knew what her mother-in-law meant as soon as she heard it, this is to cry poor, but this is also a good way, the three brothers of the Chen family can't pull down, and Hu Feng is even more of a showy master, let alone crying poor, Ye Wanrong's father is an official, and he doesn't dare to cause that trouble.
But the mother-in-law came forward differently, maybe she could really get the money back, so she agreed coolly, and took Chen Zhen back to look for clothes after the fast meal chop. Hu Feng watched coldly, and kept snorting coldly, if her mother-in-law could ask for this more than silver, she wouldn't believe Hu, those tigers and wolves in the household department, every time she went, she had to put some silver money for them to drink tea, but every time it was a prevarication.
On the second day, this Chen Qiaoqiao also took Si Zuo and Si You to change into old clothes that they brought over, as old as they were, they were all last year's clothes, and Si Zuo and Si You were very shabby when they wore them. Zhen'er too, her round body seemed to be about to tear the old clothes, causing Chen Qiaoqiao to laugh violently.
Their family of four set off majestically and proudly to the Ministry of Households, which is the signature of ancient Chinese officials and is equivalent to today's Ministry of Finance. Its chief was the head of the household, now the Minister of Finance.
Originated in the Three Kingdoms, there was a degree of support from time to time, and he was in charge of finance. In the Sui Dynasty, the book of the degree branch was the book of the people. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who avoided Taizong's name, was renamed the Hubu, which was one of the six departments, and the chief was the Hubu Shangshu. Passed through the ages.
During the Great Song Dynasty, the household department was in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, salaries and all financial matters of the country. Its internal handling of government affairs is divided into divisions according to the regional division of labor. In addition to being in charge of the money and food saved, each department is also in charge of some government affairs of other yamen, and their responsibilities are often overlapping. The institutions subordinate to the Ministry of Household are: Qian Fatang and Baoquan Bureau, which are in charge of minting money; The three libraries of the household department of the treasury are hidden; The warehouse yamen in charge of warehousing and water affairs.
Walking to the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, Rao is Chen Qiaoqiao is prepared, and she has watched a lot of TV series in modern times, but she is still a little amazed, I can't imagine that this yamen is actually so magnificent, and the magnificence is not like words! also succeeded in the dissatisfaction in Chen Qiaoqiao's heart, after being so rich, it is really unreasonable to be mean to the heroes, if it is in modern times, the treatment of the general who sacrificed his life for the country, tsk, that is amazing, who dares to be mean? Spit stars in society will drown him!
Chen Qiaoqiao thought about it like this, and suddenly came up with an idea, go to the bottom first, otherwise she can only use the power of public opinion!
Chen Qiaoqiao and her three children had just walked up to the yamen, and a few officials came to expel her, "Go, go!" This is not a place to watch a play, this is the yamen, what are you doing here! ”
Xiao Zhen'er puffed up her small chest, "I am the grandson of General Zhongyong, and I want to see your leader!" Although Zhen'er has never seen Chen Wei, she is very proud of being the descendant of the loyal general.
"Loyal General? Haven't heard of it! Our Lord Shangshu is busy, how can I meet you, even the squire is not available, go quickly! One of them said arrogantly.
"This official, the loyal and brave general Chen Wei, haven't you heard of it, the emperor personally posthumously sealed it three years ago!" Chen Qiaoqiao had to say that the people in this official mansion are all inferior to dogs no matter what era they are.
