Chapter 55 Increase the amount of money
Take good care of her for the king......
After Zong Zhengziyan left, Shangguan Yun pondered this sentence repeatedly. After a while, he called the eldest lady Zong Zhengyun into the study.
"Master, I don't know why you are looking for a concubine?" The eldest lady stood respectfully.
Shangguan Yun lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Right now, over there, what is the monthly amount of money?" ”
"A penny." The eldest lady replied.
Shangguan Yun frowned, with a little displeasure on his face: "Miss Tangxiangfu, a month's use is only a penny, and she is not afraid of other people's jokes when it is passed on." You're in charge, and it's not properly arranged. ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Jingwan's girl doesn't go out much on weekdays, but she is frail and sickly, and she often asks for a doctor. It was Dr. Li who treated her and was often used by the old lady, and the money for the treatment was also remembered in the old lady's account. It's all from the kitchen, and she doesn't have to spend money. A penny is enough for her. ”
Shangguan Yun raised his eyes coldly: "No, it's far from enough!" His Royal Highness wants the old man to take care of her, and the old man has to let her eat and dress well, maybe one day she will leap into the dragon gate and become a master in one fell swoop, and then let her think about our good! ”
The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
Shangguan Yun said: "The monthly money is increased to ten taels, and she is not in good health, there is only one maid and an old mother watching by her side, it is far from enough, you transfer two maids over to help, be sure to dress her up as soon as possible!" ”
"This ......," the eldest lady looked embarrassed, "the house is in short supply, and there is only one maid in each lady's room, and she is divided into three, but I am afraid that others will not be convinced-"
Shangguan Yun raised his eyebrows coldly, "If you're not convinced, fight for me!" If they can attract the emperor's grandson and nobles, I will send them as many maids and servants as they want! ”
"Yes." The eldest lady is angry, and she can only swallow it in her stomach.
When the eldest lady returned to the house, she saw that Shangguan Jingmei was already waiting for her.
"Mother, what did Dad call you over? Last time my daughter mentioned it to you, Shaoqing's brother ......"
Shangguan Jingmei was only halfway through her words, when she was interrupted by the eldest lady and reprimanded: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is the prince of the dynasty, how can this in-law be able to climb if you want to?!" Mother will advise you to say a word, broaden your horizons a little, don't just stare at a Zongzheng Shaoqing! Look at Jingwan, it's only been a day since she went out, and the prince, the Ninth Highness, and the Fifth Highness have all been provoked! Now, your father has opened his mouth to add money to her maid for her mother, and to dress her up brightly, so as to successfully tie up the Fifth Highness! ”
"What?!" Shangguan Jingmei was shocked when she heard this, "That girl is a concubine, and her mother is from a Qinglou, and her status is very low, why——"
"It's just her clever means!" The eldest lady scolded.
Shangguan Jing bit her lip: "My daughter is not convinced!" As the eldest daughter, there is only one maid in the room to serve, and her mother adds a maid and a maid to her, so that her daughter can gain a foothold in front of all the sisters in the future? ! ”
"Mei'er, that's what your father meant. After all, your father is the head of the family, and if he opens his mouth, his mother cannot disobey him. The eldest lady shook her head helplessly and comforted, "That girl is a bean sprout face, and her appearance is mediocre and unlucky." My mother believes that even if she wears the most luxurious jewelry in the house, she is just a village girl who is dirty, and she can't compare with Mei'er at all. Mei'er is the first beauty in the capital, and she is the secret weapon that her mother has cultivated for so many years, and no one can compare to it! ”
