Chapter 129 The Second Master

(Pink 539, Alliance Leader Plus Change)

The Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet Garden of the Wei Palace's Mansion is located in the northwest, and the Ming Treasury where the silver, grain, money, and silk materials are stored is located in the east of the Night Banquet Garden, a separate courtyard, surrounded by high walls, and only one door is opened in the south.

After listening to the edict in the morning, the widow Li Tai went back to the Jade Courtyard, one went back to the house to change his clothes and ran to the backyard medicine garden to tinker with great interest, and the other called Ah Sheng into the study to talk, the second day of the wedding, the two were still tired of being together yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, they were busy today, and they were dumbfounded.

After eating at noon, Lu Dong and the deputy chief Zhao Chuan came to the courtyard to report to the widow, saying that the dowry brought on the wedding day had been properly placed, and asked her to go to the treasury to take a turn and choose the gifts to bring when she returned to the door tomorrow.

Yi Yu came to her senses all of a sudden, she was really curious about this Wei Wangfu Inner Library, so she said hello to Li Tai, and was about to go to take a look, Li Tai was in the study to approve a few letters from other places, so she went.

Today's sun is big, a few maids in the house to clean up for a long time, Pingtong deliberately held a small red plum umbrella to shade his master, Pinghui held a tea tray, Pingxia hugged a brand new cushion and soft pillow to follow, Yiyu went out a few steps, I felt that this style was a little ridiculous, but let them go.

From the jade courtyard to the warehouse, to wear a whole large garden, left and right is idle, just detour a little road from the promenade in the garden, enjoy the scenery along the way, there is a promenade throughout the garden, the best Nanmu is built, the two flowers and plants are pruned exquisitely, and there is a lotus pond full of water, the small bridge leads the water, the rockery is rugged, the pavilion is elegant, it seems that the jade is in a good mood.

Pingtong saw that she was happy, so he joked, "I heard Steward Li say that there are many places to visit in this garden, there is a lotus pond in the west, and there is a flower stand swing by the pool, which was specially added when the jade garden was repaired." ”

"Swing?" Yiyu's eyes lit up, not to mention that she was still childlike, and there was nothing bad about her daughter's family.

"Princess, the swing stand is ahead, and the old slave leads the way." Zhao Chuan beat his hand, pointed in a direction, saw the Yu nodded, and then led the way, a group of people just wandered to the west of the garden, from the Langkou, Yu smelled a different smell of flowers, with a turn, when it was a purple thousand red, before I could rejoice, I heard a series of silver bell laughter:

"Giggles, taller, higher, I'm going to see the whole palace."

As soon as the footsteps of several people stopped, each with a different color, it was Zhao Chuan who was the most embarrassed, only Yu Yu was still smiling at the figure that was sitting on the swing and being raised and dropped under the flower stand surrounded by a group of maids, she had a good memory, if she didn't mistake the clothes of the good material, it was one of the four big maids she had seen in the morning.

"Please wait here, the princess, and the old slave will tell them to play elsewhere." As soon as Zhao Chuan spoke, Ping Tong's face changed first, in her heart, there were only two masters in this palace, Li Tai and Yiyu, and now this deputy manager actually asked her master to wait for the slave on the side, how could she not be annoyed.

"Master, I'll go over with Manager Zhao to take a look."

Yi Yu didn't know what Pingtong was playing in his heart, so he reached out and pinched a vine flower and put it in his palm to play, Lu Dong saw Zhao Chuan walking away, so he took two small steps forward to her, and said in a low voice:

"Master, the small account books of the palace in recent years have been roughly read, the prince has an annual income of 2,000 yuan, a supply of rice and grain of 700 stones, a monthly income of 1,500 yuan in foreign shops and miscellaneous doors, and about 4,000 yuan of filial piety gifts under the door during the New Year's holidays, and a total annual income of about 24,000 yuan. There are more than 320 waiters in the palace, 1,080 yuan per month for food, clothing, sleeping and housing, and about 600 yuan for the next person's monthly money. ”

At first glance, I heard that the finances of the palace were different from what I imagined, but what Mrs. Zhou said was not much different, so Yu Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I am not very good at calculating accounts, you should pay attention to it on my behalf, if there is any income and expenditure in this mansion, you will report it to me immediately." ”

No matter how careful Li Tai is, it is impossible to be as careful as a woman, no matter how capable Ah Sheng is, he can't do everything, the monthly branch is nearly two thousand taels, which is not a small amount, and then at the wind banquet, he only said that Li Tai has not had less than 100,000 yuan in the inner library for two years, and he was scolded sonorously, ten taels of silver is enough to make a family of three eat and drink for a year, and now that she is married to his wife, she will help him manage this house.

There is no need to be suspicious, she also knows that in addition to these bright faces, Li Tai must still have a private treasury, just talking about his business in the Misty Pavilion that day, the monthly income is not a matter of a few hundred taels, and she vaguely knows that he also has financial resources in the south, otherwise, how can he afford to raise a large number of martial arts spies outside, she still remembers that two years ago in Kuixing Tower, he bought 10,000 taels of jewelry for her, so it can be seen.

Obviously, Li Tai earns a lot and spends it quickly.

"The little ones know." Lu Dong responded, and Yu Yu turned his head to look at the flower stand in the distance, and it was so much effort that there was a quarrel over there.

But it was said that Pingtong followed Zhao Chuan towards the flower stand, and the group of people was having fun, and no one saw them coming, so Zhao Chuan spoke first and called:

"Miss Rongyi, don't play, girl, come down first."

The group of maids didn't see the jade in the distance, nor did they recognize Pingtong nearby, so they laughed and delayed for a moment before they stopped their voices under Zhao Chuan's continuous calls.

"Hehe, it's Mr. Zhao," a group of people got out of the way, and the woman in the green velvet shirt sat on the swing and bent her knees and swayed, looking over with a smile, and when she looked at Ping Tong, she gradually closed her face, looked at Ping Tong up and down, pointed at her, turned her head to Zhao Chuan and said:

"Hey, isn't this the eldest maid in front of the princess, who only said in the morning that we should let our sisters listen to her, and this is only in the afternoon, does the princess have orders?"

Ping Tong saw that she was pointing at herself, and she didn't have any respect for Yu Yu in her words, so she sank her face, and without waiting for Zhao Chuan to speak, she frowned and said:

"This afternoon, don't you have to do anything, and you still have time to run into the garden and play crazy."

Na Rong Yi immediately covered her mouth and laughed, glanced over, and said to the maids on both sides in a coquettish voice, "Look at what she said is interesting, I am a close attendant who serves the princess to change clothes, and now the prince is newly married, and the princess is serving, how can I still use me, do you want me to go and rob the princess for work?" Giggles..."

A few maids couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, Pingtong was simply amused, looking at their lawless appearance, how could they be well-behaved and sensible in front of Li Tai during the day, and they obviously took themselves as masters

Seeing that Pingtong's face was wrong, Zhao Chuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Pingtong, don't be angry, Miss Rongyi doesn't mean anything else, she usually speaks like this, and she is a little open-mouthed." ”

Ping Tong was angry, but Rong Yi over there didn't appreciate him, grabbed the vine branch and shook it a few times, his little feet in bright red silk shoes were upturned up and down, he hooked his eyes to look at Ping Tong, and said:

"Yes, Sister Pingtong, don't be angry, I speak like this, I have followed the prince from the palace to the mansion for so many years, and I can't change it. If you don't like it, keep your ears shut and don't listen, and no one will force it to tell you. ”

This Rong Yi is also angry in his heart, several of their big maids, all of them are Li Tai is still in the palace to serve by his side, and then he followed out of the palace to build a mansion, and he couldn't marry for life, so he regarded himself as a person in Li Tai's account, especially Li Tai has not married for many years, there is no hostess in the palace, and a few of them stand out, almost being treated as a small half of the master by the subordinates, and they also think very highly of themselves when they come and go.

Now that a princess of Wei has emerged, the prince has specially repaired the yard, and the new princess has assigned a girl to marry them, not to mention, but also to ask them to obey the orders of two wild maids who came from nowhere, how can she endure this breath.

The more Pingtong listened here, the more annoyed she became, and when she saw the color on her feet, her eyes widened all of a sudden, regardless of what she had just said ugly, she blocked Zhao Chuan with one hand, took two steps forward and pointed at her upper, and said sharply:

"Who gave you the courage to wear red shoes in the new wedding of the master"

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on the little feet of the red shoes, there was no sound, the high-ranking family married a wife, in order to show dignity, the women in the house, regardless of whether they were married or not, could wear red shoes, otherwise they would press the lord and torture the main house.

Rong Yi was pointed out by her, stood up from the swing with a slightly panicked expression, shook her skirt to cover her shoes, and said sideways, "I got wet from the lake in the morning, and I didn't pay attention when I came out in the afternoon, and I wore the wrong shoes." ”

"Take off" Pingtong was not polite to her, she had seen a lot of this dog and human power before, how could she listen to her nonsense.

"What are you fierce" Rong Yi also lost his temper, and he didn't pay attention to the maids around him bowed their heads and silenced, glared at the two round eyes, and pointed at Pingtong's nose, "What are you, is it your turn to take care of me in this Wei Palace?"

"Oh? Then tell me, in this Wei Palace, which one can control you. ”

"See the princess." A group of maids lowered their heads and squatted down to worship, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhao Chuan's head, and Pingtong also turned around and bent down, only Na Rongyi's face was embarrassed, and he stiffly put down the fingers pointing at Pingtong and twisted his head.

Pinghui held a small red plum umbrella, and Yu Yu walked over slowly with Yun Jin's sleeves, her simple little face was not powdered, but she was dignified and beautiful, she looked at this group of people, and then called Zhao Chuan to speak:

"You made a mistake in the Jade Courtyard in the morning, I remember that the prince gave twenty lashes, and he was punished?"

The cold sweat on Zhao Chuan's back flowed down at once, and his back was still in pain, but the big maid who was standing there seemed to have been whipped.

"The princess forgives her sins, she is an old slave-" Before he finished speaking, he was snatched by Rong Yijiao's voice: "Your Highness only said that we would be punished with whips, but did not say when we would be punished." ”

Now even Pingxia looked at her with a monster-like expression, she had been in two families before and after, and understood that the bigger the family, the more distinct the respect and inferiority, she didn't know who this Rongyi was Li Tai, she only knew that those who dared to talk back to the master like this would be killed.

Yi Yu was not angry, and went to the stone table on the side of the flower stand, and asked Pingxia to add a cushion before sitting down and said to Zhao Chuan:

"Manager Zhao, go get the rattan whip."

Zhao Chuan looked at both ends, remembered Li Tai's attitude in the morning, gritted his teeth, and ran away, a group of maids all showed timidity, but Rong Yi said to Yi Yu with a blushing face:

"Is the princess going to torture the slaves?"

Yi Yu only listened to her words, Pinghui poured tea on the side and handed it to her, she drank it one by one, Rong Yi saw her attitude, she was a little afraid, she didn't dare to leave and was unwilling to plead, she waited for a cup of tea, Zhao Chuan ran back breathlessly.

"King, princess." He was sweating profusely and holding a whip the thickness of two fingers in his hand.

"Twenty lashes, you counted them carefully." Yi Yu put down the teacup, sat up straight and faced the embarrassed maid, her eyes began to show a fierce color, and she stared at Rong Yi weakly, and shivered, before she said coldly:

"You remember, there will be a second master in this Wei Wangfu from now on, fight."

Zhao Chuan had a bitter face, and pulled the whip from Rong Yi's back, screaming at once, and she began to dodge the second time, but was held down by Pingtong Pingxia and knelt on the ground, so she could only let the whip fall on her back.

"Ah, don't hurt, let go, let go of me"

screamed in pain, the little maids beside the flower stand shrank their necks, and a few of the timid ones turned white, Yiyu watched the clothes behind Rong Yi being torn open, revealing blood, pinched the teacup in her hand, and watched her almost without blinking Twenty strokes, and finally fell to the ground with a shudder and cried.

"Since we met today, I'll say a few words, it's good for you to go down and pass it on to each other," Yi Yu said to the group of maids, "I'm a good-tempered person, you guys are occasionally lazy, even if I meet it, I will turn a blind eye, but if anyone thinks that she can eat white food in the mansion and stir up trouble, once I know it," she leaned forward slightly, telling the nervous heads of the group of maids to hang down to their chests, "Even if you go to the prince to intercede, it won't work." ”

"Manager Zhao will clean up here, and I'll go to the warehouse myself." After speaking, Yi Yu didn't linger much, and led Pingtong and Lu Dong to the other side of the garden.

"Whew, I'm scared to death." A few little girls patted their chests and said, "I saw that the princess was a kind person in the morning, why was she suddenly so powerful, I just thought I was going to be beaten." ”

"Okay, don't be around here, don't help Miss Rong Yi down," Zhao Chuan pointed to the two of them with an ugly face and raised Rong Yi who was crying, "Do whatever you have to do, and don't run into the garden in the future, is this swing for you to play down, down?"

"Miss, if you are so ignorant, just throw it out, what else do you want her to do," Pingtong puzzled, others should be concerned about the identity of those big maids, but she couldn't know better, even if the master killed them, the prince would not say anything.

Yi Yu twisted her eyebrows, shook her head and said nothing, she listened to them just now, and knew that this Rong Yi had served Li Tai in the palace, so it was a master-servant relationship, even if it was for the sake of accompanying Li Tai in the deep palace back then, she didn't want to do too much.

"And the red shoes," Pingtong said indignantly, "This has to be left in another family's house, and it is strange not to break her leg, so you have a good temper and can tolerate her." ”

Yi Yu tilted his head and sighed, touched the jade string on his wrist, and said, "Can a pair of red shoes really make me evil, I don't believe this, so why bother with her." If it weren't for her blatant laziness to teach others badly, I wouldn't have punished her like this. Leave three points of affection in everything, I will give her a chance, if she is wrong again, it is that she can't figure it out. ”

Where did she get the leisure to worry about those ignorant women, and in the morning she pondered the recipe of the Soul Suppression Pill, and found that it was not an ordinary difficulty, Li Tai promised that she was the only one, so she didn't want to ask for trouble and waste a lot of time competing with women.

Hearing this, Ping Tong was thinking about it, but Lu Dong looked up at the back of the relict jade with implicit appreciation, then lowered his head again, and said softly:

"The master's state of mind is not comparable to that of ordinary women."

The treasury of the Wei Wangfu is larger than the old Huaiguo Mansion, the things are placed in different categories, at first glance the door looks, it is very spectacular, the jade is in each storage room, two sets of gold and jade jewelry were selected, two pairs of half-person-high painted vases were selected, two horses of silk and satin were each, and some supplements were taken out, ready to be brought back to her mother tomorrow.

The dowry sent on the first day of the new year filled two rooms, originally only one was prepared, and the other room was vacated later, in addition to the two sets of magnificent jade carved furniture, it is a special product of the south of the Yangtze River The cloth is eye-catching, red veil, square hole silk, ice silk satin, twelve colors, one color and ten horses, and a group of women were not called to look at the dazzles on the day of the wedding.

There are not many other fine wood furnishings, and there are eight large boxes, filled with strings of copper coins, there are as many as 10,000 yuan, which is also directly pulled from Jiangnan, that is, the dowry team that day, the stupid wooden box that starts. A smaller copper lock box containing 5,000 taels of silver was stuffed to her mother after she gave her the 10,000 taels she earned from Kui Xing Lou. As for the deed, the title deed and the whole stack of expensive tickets, they were all collected in the house of the Jade Courtyard.

Under Lu Dong's quiet reminder, Yi Yu found a one-foot-long sealed box in the box containing jewelry, and let the powerful Pingxia take it away, ready to take it back into the house. This is filled with pure gold strips, and if you exchange them at the market price, they can also be worth 10,000 taels.

After locking the two giant wooden secret doors and putting away the key and leaving the jade, it will be her body in the Wei Wangfu in the future, and she will eat the flowers of the Wangfu in the future, and only when she is in an emergency or doing private things, she will take her own money out.

Touching the key in her arms, Yu Yu suddenly had a feeling of flying windfall, which was completely different from the feeling of looking at the warehouse of objects in Puzhenyuan, after all, she regarded those money and things as the money for the two brothers to start a family, and this dowry really belonged to her alone.

This reminded me of Old Man Lu again, even if he really coaxed their mother and son more than ten years later, but how could people's feelings be fake, if they didn't care about their family of four, how could they let them worship the ancestral hall, if they didn't care about her, the only granddaughter, how could they carefully prepare such a rich dowry for her.

For the old man, she can't be angry, she can't blame it.

When Yi Yu returned to the Jade Courtyard, it was already late at dusk, and she was still thinking about how to tell Li Tai about Rong Yi, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"The prince went to the west courtyard to see Lord Wang," Fortunately, Pingyun was still left in the courtyard.

Yi Yu knew that Li Shimin had sent a gentleman to Li Tai, Wang Qi, and that she planned to visit him after returning to Ning, so she didn't ask too much, put away the golden box, freshened up and changed her clothes first, and prepared to go to Pingkangfang with Li Tai for a banquet in the evening.

When Li Tai came back from the West Courtyard, she had just changed her outfit, Pinghui Pingxia held a few light gauze shawls and asked her to choose the color, today is hot, she didn't plan to wear brocade at night, but picked out a long tunics with a blue tunch, put on a bright red short mattress, tied with a blue ribbon on her chest, only revealing the skin above her collarbone, which is both petite and lovely without losing her peaceful temperament, which is very suitable for this kind of dress for private dinners.

Li Tai didn't pick up anyone when he entered the house this time, he was already dressed, and he actually picked out the blue color with the relict jade, a white jade hairpin on the bun, and a twisted silver silk leather around the waist, which looked very rude.

Yi Yu was in a good mood, so he took the moonlight veil in Pingxia's hand, put it on the crook of his arm, and took the skirt in front of Li Tai and turned around twice, and said with a grin:

"Let's see if it fits you well."

"Well," Li Tai looked at her smiling face, his brows stretched, and he walked up to her while wearing a fish horn ring around his waist, and with a hook of his fingers, he pulled out the slightly cold red rope jade that she had hidden in the collar, and despite the objections of the jade, he pinched off the thread and took it off her neck.

"Huh, huh? What are you doing, give it to me," Yu reached out to grab it, and as soon as he raised her arm, she tiptoed to grab it, and the two maids bowed their heads and withdrew.

"I'll pay you back in a few days." Li Tai held her back to prevent her from falling.

Yi Yu lowered his arm and said suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Li Tai shook his head and said nothing, and as soon as his wrist flipped, the piece of jade disappeared, and the jade grabbed his palm and searched for a long time without seeing it, before he gave up helplessly, and said in his mouth:

"Don't take it and throw it away for me."

"No, it won't." Li Tai walked to the dressing table around her waist, leaned over and rummaged in the jewelry box for a while, picked out a silver ring and put it around her neck.

Yi Yu leaned on him, his mind moved, and he said softly, "I punished you with a big maid in the afternoon, and asked Manager Zhao to beat her with twenty lashes." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that he didn't react, Yi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he blushed and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, raised his head and said, "You're not angry?" I've punished you for the people in your tent. ”

"I haven't touched them." Li Tai's words fell, he had already buckled the silver ring, held up her chin and covered her lips, Yu Yu rarely did not retreat in shame, closed his eyes and snuggled obediently on his chest, until both of them were short of breath, only then did he say "hmm, hmm" twice, signaling him to let go.

(Congratulations on the birth of the fourth alliance leader of New Voton, thank you for the support of the May flower classmates, ~\(≧▽≦)/~)...
