On this day, Song Shiming was furious in the account room,

"How did you spend more than 5,000 taels of silver on rouge gouache this month? Women's homes are just wiping their faces, there are only more than 20 women in my backyard, and 5,000 taels of silver are enough to brush this house, so do you need to use so much to wipe their faces? ”

When the bookkeeper heard this, he said with a bitter face,

"My Highness! This brush house only costs some tung oil, white paint, the faces of the ladies behind the use of the best rouge gouache, Tianxiang Ju out of a box of cheek powder costs fifty taels of silver, but the thumb is a little bigger, can be called more than gold, this thing and things can not be compared! ”

Song Shiming was even more bruised when he heard this,

"It's just to wipe your face, why buy such a good one?"

The bookkeeper didn't dare to respond now, and said in his heart,

"It's not you, I'm staying in this room today, I'm happy to appreciate the rouge of Tianxiangju, Ming'er is lying in that room, and when it's cool, I'll send the fragrance of Liufang Pavilion, these things are not in the backyard of the rich gentry in the entire Linzhou capital, you are a few boxes in one mouth, and the silver on this account is generally spent, you want to come here to ask for an explanation!"

Song Shiming saw that he didn't speak, and he was even more reasonable,

"You are not allowed to buy anything like this in the future!"

The answer of the bookkeeper,

"Even if His Highness orders, then these things will no longer be collected and put in silver in the future!"

"Hmm!"

Song Shiming thought about it again and said,

"I'll talk about it later, don't you still have two thousand taels of silver for the five thousand taels of silver?"

"Yes, the other side sent someone to collect the accounts, and the little one didn't get the cash for a while, so let them come and get it tomorrow!"

"What to take? Don't give! ”

"This ......"

"What's this...... This...... This palace says that if you don't want to give, you won't be allowed to give! This palace is the prince, does he dare to sue me? ”

The helpless nod of the bookkeeper should be,

"Follow Your Highness's orders!"

But in my heart I murmured secretly,

"It's too embarrassing! The dignified prince's mansion does not pay the debts, and is still fighting for the debts, if this is spread out, I will be embarrassed to do the accounting room! Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a prince who has done such a thing that does not repay the debt, when today's son is a Ming monarch, how can he let his own family do such a thing, if His Majesty knows that there is no way to descend to heaven, he is the prince but nothing to do, I am only afraid that I will be the top cylinder...... Let's go! I didn't sell myself into this house, so it was better to resign earlier, so as not to cause bad luck to the family! ”

Thinking of this, I had the idea of going to it.

The next day, the merchant sent someone to collect the money, and was sent back by a few words from the account manager, and then a few days later, the merchant sent someone to urge, this time the account manager was not seen, so that the collector was sent out......

The matter on this account is not over, but on this day there are two people outside, one big and one small, a young woman holding a two-year-old child, crying and crying in front of the prince's mansion, one to find his father, the other to find her husband.

When they were crying, a group of people immediately gathered outside, and when the chief steward saw that it was not a problem, he came out to drive them out.

"Phew! Thou shalt not look at this place, thou shalt not look at this place, and come here to slander and blind thy dog's eyes. ”

The woman is not a good stubble, but she answers,

"I went here to find the master here, how can I be a slanderer, my husband clearly told me when he left, he came to this capital to find his son to enjoy happiness, and his son is in this prince's mansion!"

When the chief steward heard this, he was even more furious, rolled up his sleeves and scolded,

"The shrew from there is talking nonsense here, I don't know what to say, who in this world doesn't know that the prince in this palace is the son of today, the son of the dragon and the grandson, how can it be related to the husband of your woman!"

When the woman saw that everyone around her nodded, she hurriedly wept,

"Ladies and gentlemen, the slave family lives in the city of Yuzhou, married the second son of Song, gave birth to a son named Song Fu, our couple in the city of Yuzhou was a peaceful life, suddenly one day in the capital to see my husband, said that my husband was born before a son in the capital to be a nobleman, special took my husband into Beijing to enjoy the blessings, it has been more than a year now, our mother and son are waiting at home for my husband to return home, but the left can not wait, the right can not wait, seeing that the family's livelihood has gradually not settled, so I had to sell the family property into Beijing to find a husband...... If you don't believe it, there is a letter written back by my husband after entering Beijing......"

Sure enough, he took out a letter from his bosom and was about to read it when he opened it in front of everyone, and the chief steward thought to himself,

"Speaking of the person surnamed Song, I vaguely heard someone say that there was indeed a man surnamed Song who came to His Highness's mansion when he was sneaking in, and he was really a little similar to His Highness, could it be the woman's husband, could it be...... She...... She's telling the truth! ”

Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but change color,

"This thing...... If this matter is really confirmed, it is a great crime of deception, and we can't escape the relationship! ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went in and reported it to Song Shiming, but Song Shiming was startled when he heard it, and the cold sweat immediately came down from his forehead.

She ...... She said...... Is she from Yuzhou City? ”

The chief steward answered,

"The woman did say she was from Yuzhou City......

She ...... What else did she say? ”

The chief steward told Song Shiming how the woman outside cried, how she spoke, and how the children around her were all heard, and Song Shiming's back was wet with sweat when he heard it!

This eyeball rolled, and he smiled reluctantly,

"That Song Lao Er is my adoptive father's same clan, because of the sad life in Yuzhou City, the palace summoned him to Beijing to do something in the house, but this person is tired of working and loves to play money, the palace reprimanded him, this person ran away in anger, it turned out that he did not return to Yuzhou?"

When the chief steward heard this, he understood, and said,

"Your Royal Highness, even if the second child of Song does have someone and something, then we will still bring that woman into the mansion, and we will make another calculation, if we continue to make such a fuss outside, if we alarm the soldiers and horses of the five cities, we will report to Your Majesty's ears...... That's a big deal! ”

Song Shiming couldn't hear this the most, and said busily,

"Good! Good! Let's talk about it in the house first! ”

And the chief steward went out, but he addressed the woman in the presence of all men.

"You woman is really rude, your husband is just a fellow villager of His Royal Highness in the early years of the people, His Royal Highness took pity on his poor family and summoned him to Beijing to give him an errand, and now because he went to other places to collect rent, you are talking nonsense! Don't hurry up and accept your dejected face, and follow me into the house to meet Your Highness! ”

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately booed, and they all shouted at the woman,

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have knowledge, what Your Highness is your husband's son, if you let the heavenly family know this, it will be light to cut off your head!"

The woman was frightened, and she got up from the ground and led her son into the house, and as soon as the door of the house was closed, the crowd of onlookers outside dispersed.

The woman followed in, and sure enough, in the front hall, she saw a man dressed in a gorgeous manner, but with a pale face, sunken eyes, and blue and black.

"This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you still don't salute!"

But the woman came into this place, but she stood and did not kneel.

"My husband's letter said that these two princes are his sons, I am his stepmother, and he should kneel to me!"

After that, he pulled the child at his hand again,

"Fu'er, this is your brother, go and salute him!"

That Song Fu really came up and saluted,

"Hello brother!"

Song Shiming saw this mother and son behaving like this, his face immediately became gloomy, and the chief steward scolded,

"Lady The, you don't know how to be polite, Your Highness is kind enough to let you enter the mansion, you dare to make a big deal here, don't you want to live?"

The woman answered with her head held up,

"The little woman takes her husband as the sky, what the husband's family said is right, no matter what your palace is high, you can't escape a word of courtesy, why do I want to meet the juniors when I am an elder!"

When the chief steward heard this, he was even more angry.

"Someone! Hold this woman down for me, and give her a good beaten-thrust so that she knows the rules! ”

"Wait!"

Song Shiming said with a gloomy face,

"No need! His Royal Highness didn't care about her because of the affection of the same clan, and someone came to take them down and settle them down! ”

The chief steward didn't know what to do, so he glanced at Song Shiming, but he was startled by the ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Your Highness?"

Song Shiming beckoned,

"You come with me!"

The chief steward went with him behind the screen,

"What does Your Highness command?"

Song Shiming beckoned him over,

"The woman and the child can't be kept!"

The chief steward was shocked,

"This ...... What do you mean, Your Highness? ”

"Give me ...... ideas"

But he made a palm down cutting action, and the chief steward was startled,

"No! Your Highness, that woman entered our mansion in full view of everyone, if she lost her whereabouts so unexplained, Your Highness would not be able to get out of it! ”

Song Shiming waved his hand irritably,

"What do those people know? Does anyone dare to track it down? You put some medicine in their food today, and then put the big and small ones in bags and carry them outside and sink into the water......"

"This ...... This...... This...... Your Highness...... After waiting for a while, he made a pretext that the second Song was guarding Zhuangzi outside, and sent their mother and son over to do it again, so why bother to kill people in this mansion! ”

In the backyard house of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, there are many such things, what wives and concubines compete for vinegar, what domestic servants fornicate with aunts, what girls steal from the master's house, such things generally don't want to go outside, so they think about themselves!

Just do these things, one for feng shui and the other for fame, generally have to get out of the way, really don't report a sick or fugitive slave or something like that to cover up the past, it seems that he was killed and carried out in the house like this, and there are many people who are alarmed, and he falls down the handle for people to catch in vain, and it is too vulgar to do things like this!
