Song Shihong scolded Shi Fang in his heart. Since he took refuge in Xiao Xi, he has been more and more reused by Xiao Xi. I have to admit that Shi Fang himself is indeed talented. is full of scheming, and is also good at observing words and feelings, and has a very good grasp of Xiao Xi's psychology. Every time he can scratch the itch, he sees Xiao Xi trusting him more and more. Can Song Shihong be happy in his heart?

Song Shihong mentally understands that if Xiao Xi succeeds in the future, even if he can sit in the position of prime minister, it is estimated that he will soon be replaced by When. Thinking of this, Song Shihong felt depressed for a while.

At this time, Xiao Xi spoke to the Marquis of Jinyang, who had been silent: "Marquis of Jinyang, during this period of time, the expenses of this king here have increased a lot. You have to think of another sum of money for the king. At least 200,000 taels. ”

Jinyang Hou was miserable for a while. If the 200,000 taels of silver were left in the past, the Jinyang Hou Hua family would really not be in the eyes. But now, the Hua family's silk business in Da Zhou is no longer a monopoly, and He Jinfang in Jiangnan came out and slowly devoured the Hua family's silk empire, and now, it has occupied half of the world. The Hua family's business has shrunk, and their natural income has also decreased a lot. That's it, since they took refuge in Xiao Xi, the king of Jin, not only did they not get any benefits from Xiao Xi, but they also provided Xiao Xi with the support of silver money everywhere. In just a few years, more than 5 million taels of silver have been invested.

Although this silver has not touched the foundation of the Hua family, it has also made the Hua family suffer. I only hope that Xiao Xi can succeed as soon as possible, so that by relying on the imperial power, the Hua family can take back the Silk Empire from He Jinfang's hands again. Even the very lucrative silk and makeup techniques were brought over. That's how you can recover.

However, at the moment, there is no hope for success, and Xiao Xi's exploitation of them is increasing day by day. At this moment, as soon as Xiao Xi opened his mouth, it was 200,000 taels of silver. How does this not make Jinyang Hou miserable?

Xiao Xi saw that Jinyang Hou didn't react for a long time, and he was unhappy, this Jinyang Hou, although he was a noble, but he had already declined, but he just had a few stinky money, and he actually dared to play with himself, he couldn't help but sink his face and said: "What's the matter, Jinyang Hou, but what's the problem?" ”

Seeing Xiao Xi's face, Jinyang Hou hurriedly said: "Where is it, it's just that the New Year has been approaching recently, and there is some turnover in business." Now the Hua family's business is not as good as before, the silk business, we have lost half of the benefits, and most of the head is given to He Jinfang, who has silk and silk makeup. They are the retainers of the national teacher, who dares to provoke them? Our family can't afford it, so we can only rely on Jiangnan brocade and floral silk to support us. So, the hand is tense. However, please rest assured that I will be able to raise these 200,000 taels of silver in a few days and send them to the prince in person. ”

Hearing Jinyang Hou's complaint, Xiao Xi was very unhappy, your mismanagement is your own business, what does it matter to me? However, since you have taken refuge in me, you can't do it if you don't contribute money or effort. Who has the patience to listen to you? However, fortunately, the Marquis of Jinyang finally said that he would send money over, for the sake of the silver, Xiao Xi didn't care about him, snorted coldly, and then discussed with Shi Fang and Song Shihong: "By the way, you see, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites has recently died of illness, and the position is vacated, who is suitable on our side?" ”

Such a good thing, everyone is excited, busy recommending their own candidates.

Only Jinyang Hou continued to have a bitter face. His heart was cold. Once again, I feel sorry for myself for taking refuge in a master like Xiao Xi. After several years of contact, Jinyang Hou knows Xiao Xi very well. He is a virtuous corporal in his face, virtuous and virtuous, in fact, he has no sense of responsibility, he hides when he encounters difficulties, and pushes outside when there is a problem, no matter how much he pays, once there is a little bit of unsatisfactory to him, he will turn his face and deny people. Don't say that he provided him with silver, but the old lady who gave birth to him and raised him, the virtuous concubine Niangniang, the palace fight is unfavorable, didn't he also complain?

I'm having a hard time now. In the future, even if this prince ascends to that position, it is really not certain whether the Hua family can really shine as expected.

Think about it, these are the ideas that his son, the son Hua Yixuan, gave himself. Getting in touch with King Jin was also done by Hua Yixuan. This really made the Hua family miserable. At that time, just thinking about the brilliance after the success of the succession, just thinking about revitalizing the Hua family, where did I think of the person I was serving, was he a good master?

After the party was dispersed, the Marquis of Jinyang returned home with a heavy heart.

After entering the back house, he habitually went to the upper room of his wife. Who knows, as soon as I entered the courtyard of the upper room, I saw a somewhat bloated figure kneeling in the upper room, which made Jinyang Hou take a big jump. After a closer look, it turned out that the kneeling person was his pregnant daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shizi.

This made Jinyang Hou angry, he was not good at saying anything to his daughter-in-law as a father-in-law, so he quickened his pace, and without even waiting for the maid to lift the door curtain, he opened the thick red satin cotton curtain and entered the house.

In the house, his wife, Mrs. An, was weeping, and the Marquis of Jinyang was even more unhappy, and asked directly: "Madam, what's wrong?" Xuan's daughter-in-law has such a heavy body and such a snowy weather, how can you make her kneel outside? Isn't it like this with a daughter-in-law? Spread it out, what face does our Hua family have? Besides, what is Xuan's daughter-in-law doing badly, for the sake of her being pregnant with our Hua family's grandson in her belly, you can't punish her at this time? ”

was said by her husband, and Mrs. An was even more unhappy. The daughter-in-law made a mistake, she just said a few words, who knows, Yin Dyed Qiu actually ran outside and knelt in the snow by herself. I hurriedly called the maid to help her up, but who knows, she can't get up yet. I was so angry that I shed tears.

Not to mention, Yin Ran Qiu had just knelt down for less than a quarter of an hour, why did Jinyang Hou come back, thinking that it was his mean daughter-in-law, who said that he was so big. An Shi was even more aggrieved, and couldn't help crying loudly.

The Marquis of Jinyang was originally holding back the fire in his belly at King Jin, but now, seeing that his family was also so restless, he was even more angry. Speaking of Mrs., she actually cried aggrievedly, became more and more angry, and said to the maid beside Mrs. Shizi: "Cheap maid, don't go out to help Mrs. Shizi up." If there is anything wrong with Mrs. Shizi's stomach, you don't have to live. ”

That maid has always been decent as the lady's eldest maid. Now, being scolded like this by the head of the house, his face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly turned around and went out, asking for the yin to dye the autumn.

When Mrs. An cried, she originally hoped that her husband would comfort her. Where did you think that the husband would scold his personal maid like this. Doesn't this refer to Sang scolding Huai? Such humiliation, Mrs. An has been married to the Hua family for so many years, and she has not been subjected to it. Where can I accept it, I am more and more aggrieved.
