At this time, the old princess had a few personal maids around her, and the mandarin duck had returned home to be married; Lu Hua was originally good at female red, in charge of the old princess's daily wear and embroidery, and was not often on duty in the house, and only then did she complete the four-fold screen, and the old princess remembered her hard work, and was specially granted a temporary leave, let alone let her stand on duty; Yaohua is the niece of Mama Zhu, because of her temperament, she lost her good relationship, and was almost blamed by the old princess. Only Yan'er is clever and well-behaved, and the old princess is happy that she is often funny, and loves to put it by her side to serve tea and water.

The rest of the maids, when waiting for the old princess to freshen up and eat, are usually only on standby in the corridor, and can only enter the house when summoned by the master or Zhu Mama and Yan'er.

At present, Yijing is talking with the old princess, except for Xia Ke and Qiuyue, who came with her, there are only two people in the house, Zhu Mama and Yan'er.

When Mama Zhu heard the topic of Erlang's dowry, she naturally understood that the princess was not really ignorant, and glanced at Xia Ke and Qiu Yue, who were standing with their eyes down, and only lost a look at Yan'er.

Yijing looked at Mama Zhu's demeanor in her eyes, and smiled slightly.

Of course, Mama Zhu didn't know that Yan'er was the maid arranged by Guan Suiyuan in Rongxi Hall, and now signaled her to avoid, because she knew that she was going to dismantle the stage behind her back next, for fear that Yan'er would not be credible, so she wanted to send her away.

Of course, Yijing doesn't care about having ears by her side - Hengzhi wants to meet Xiao Xie's in the ring, not to mention that Yan'er is her own person, but Zhu Mama has this plan, obviously the weighing rod in her heart has been completely tilted, even if this grass is still "growing on the wall" for the time being, at least it has a bias.

The old princess, as usual, was not moved at all, and after listening to Yijing's words, she just smiled and said: "I haven't seen the prince these days, and I also know that he is doing official business, and he has no chance to say hello for a while. ”

"I see." Yi Jing still smiled: "But grandmother, Xue Changshi said that the second aunt did not hand over the money and silver for the purchase of the dowry to Changshi Si, and he couldn't handle it, and he was afraid of delaying the second brother's marriage......"

The old princess frowned slightly: "What's the matter with Xue Changshi, how can he not know that although the second daughter-in-law is in charge of the middle feed, the inner house and the moon silver are all allocated by the Changshi Division, and he has to find the prince for the money and silver." ”

Yi Jing sighed secretly, it seems that in the mind of the old princess, she really did not "allot" Yu Dong's family, and thought that the Chu Wangfu was like an ordinary aristocratic high-ranking family, and the weddings and funerals of a large family were all made by the public.

The words were too vague, the old princess couldn't understand it at all, Yijing decided to say bluntly: "Grandmother, this thing is not ordinary, although the second uncle lives with us, but in the end it is a clan with a title, although there is no mansion, the heavenly family has not given a house, but the Lutian sacrifice field and the tribute have long been distributed according to the routine, even the pro-soldier guards, official slaves and servants of the heavenly family have already been allocated to the second uncle according to the routine, over the years, a large group of people's monthly silver benefits are borne by us, and now the second brother's marriage, whether in accordance with the law of the country or the rules of etiquette, should be taken care of by the general's mansion, and the clan has its own regulations." , the second aunt has been in charge of the feed over the years, and the reason is that she understands this truth. ”

To put it bluntly, Yu Dong is just a guest at the moment, and he can't be counted as a member of the Chu Palace, and Yu Zhou can't be counted.

"Is there such a regulation?" The old princess was full of lawsuits and was extremely puzzled.

"Of course there is, even if the noble family, before the separation, the children and grandchildren married because of the eldest and younger, even if it is unified by the public school, there are rules to follow, a big family, can not break the regulations, otherwise there are thousands of things, big and small trivial will be chaotic and mixed, don't look at it is all money and silver, maybe it is the root cause of the contradiction, only according to the example, even if there is a dispute, there is always a reason to talk about." Yi Jing said: "We are a clan, the second uncle has been knighted early, because of some reasons to temporarily live in the palace, in the final analysis, the second uncle has established a business, of course the children's marriage must be handled by the parents, the father is only the second brother's uncle, I don't have to say that the second brother's parents have both and have property, this wife has to let the uncle bear the truth, if it is spread, people will laugh at us for messing up the clan rules, in the palace is still a trivial matter, I am afraid that others will talk about the injustice of the second uncle and the second aunt, greedy for the brother's family wealth, the second uncle is the clan, this rumor together, It's not that it hurts the face of the royal family. ”

Zhu Mama, who was on the side, interjected: "What the princess said makes a lot of sense, the old slave listened to the lady discussing the old princess that day, and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't want to go so deep." ”

With the help of Mama Zhu, who is old and knows the world, the old princess also attaches importance to it: "Ah Zhu, talk about it carefully." ”

"Yes." Zhu Mama agreed, and said casually: "Those noble families but there are older generations, generally will not be separated, brothers and grandchildren live in one house, weddings and funerals are of course responsible for the public in the middle school, take the Zhenguo Mansion as an example, that's because the old prince was knighted at that time, and the heavenly family gave the family business, and several grandfathers are the sons of the old princes, and naturally share the blessings of their fathers and ancestors, but because there is no division of the family, each room has an official position, and the Yulu will also be handed over to the public middle school, just like the third grandfather, Although they have been managing commercial property outside for many years, because those industries are also left by their ancestors, the profits from the operation naturally have to be handed over to the public middle school, and the grandfather of the country is in charge. ”

Yi Jing smiled again: "That's it, we are a clan, and no more than ordinary nobles, my grandfather was named a prince, the national law clearly states that the title of family business can only be inherited by the eldest son, the second uncle is a concubine, he should enjoy the title by the royal family, this is a good match for the family, although the general's mansion has not been established separately because the second uncle has temporarily lived in the palace, it is also a matter of time, since the heavenly family has already divided the second uncle's deserved Juelu according to the rules, fundamentally speaking, the second uncle and the palace have not been implicated in the property, the grandmother is loving, and regards the second uncle as a parent, The second aunt has been in charge of the feed for many years, and she is also hardworking, so the father and the son never mind the use of these years, but the marriage of the second brother involves patriarchal etiquette, in the end, Ah Yue will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the general's mansion in the future, how can she be hired by our palace? Others know the joke. ”

As soon as these words were said, the old princess also felt that this matter was indeed unreasonable, and she was a little surprised: "I have always ignored these trivial matters, and I don't know the etiquette laws and regulations, and I just think that the family doesn't talk to the two families......"

Zhu Mama said with a smile: "No, when the eldest lady got married, the dowry was also prepared by the palace, but the eldest lady is a daughter's family, but there is no problem, even if others know, it is the old princess who feels sorry for her granddaughter, but this daughter-in-law is different after all, in the end, the young lady will enter the door, and serve the second master and his wife as the in-laws of the high hall, even if she has to be called the old princess a grandmother...... The old princess don't blame the old slave for talking too much, this concubine is different after all, the son is your eldest grandson, the big wedding on the same day, the old princess is not considerate of the son, even if the dowry is according to the rules of the heavenly family, but the palace also has to be added, the old princess's dowry did not move at that time, now Erlang marries, if the old princess instead uses her own self-care to make up, will not cross the world? Those who know may sigh that the old princess is loving, regardless of the general treatment of the concubine, and those who don't know think that the son of the world is not the old princess's mind, but Erlang is more filial. ”

Yijing glanced at Mama Zhu, and was really grateful to her for her help, which completely blocked the back road of Yu Dong and his wife - if Xiao Xie's eyes were not allowed to follow the theory of etiquette and legal system, he only coquettishly sold his anger and instigated the old princess to use his body to hire Yu Zhou, which is the grandmother's considerate grandson It is also reasonable, the old princess herself has not taken care of the dowry at all, and has already handed it over to the king of Chu, and now it is in Yu Feng's hands, if the old princess is relieved, Yu Feng will not really use her grandmother's dowry to supplement the second room, and can only "pay out of her own pocket".

As soon as she heard that the trivial thing she originally thought might cause gossip and hurt the reputation of her children and grandchildren, the old princess had to get serious, and after thinking for a while, she patted Yijing's hand: "This time, thanks to Jing Yatou's reminder, or I was confused, I almost did something bad with good intentions, and let others see the joke, saying that I am ignorant but not afraid, involving the reputation of the royal family is a big deal, I also saw it, Jing Yatou is a capable person, and in the future, my grandmother will discuss you before you can make up your mind." ”

Of course, this is an unexpected gain, and Yi Jingzi is full of promises: "Of course, I should share my grandmother's worries, but this time, I'm afraid that the second aunt will blame me by mistake, thinking that I am a small tool and reluctant to make money." ”

This can be regarded as eye medicine in advance, according to Xiao Xie's temperament and brain, of course she can say this.

"She herself has not considered it this time, I don't know about these, she has been in charge of the feed for so many years, and she is used to socializing with your ladies, why is she so careless and negligent, the second child is also a lord and property, and he has the official position of the commander, and the food and clothing over the years have also followed us, and the savings are a lot, Erlang is his eldest son, and he should naturally take care of himself when marrying a wife, Jing Yatou relaxes, your second aunt is not an unreasonable person, it is nothing more than short-sightedness, and she wants to take advantage of a small advantage, don't worry, I will tell her this." The old princess didn't care, and she was happy.

Yijing sighed again - my good grandmother, this is not a small bargain, you always look at the gift list, all kinds of jewelry, silk and satin, rare wool fur, famous calligraphy and painting, not to mention, just the bride price, two thousand gold and forty thousand silver, is really a little less than Yu Feng, the prince of the prince and the glory of the marriage of the Son of Heaven, this will make Jianning Houfu double to prepare for marriage, Jiang Yue will have ten miles of red makeup, the scenery directly presses Liu Niang, the daughter of the serious Houfu, not only one head, although it is customary, the woman's dowry is in charge of herself, but if there is no accident, In the future, it will not be returned to Yuzhou's children, Xiao Xie's abacus has been very successful, and he has saved more than 100,000 family properties for his children and grandchildren in vain, not counting the profits from marrying those industries in the future.

What a wonderful trick empty gloves white wolf, but unfortunately it is a mirror flower and moon Huang Liang dream.

Yijing's goal of "demolishing the stage" was achieved, and he accompanied the old princess for a while before he said goodbye, and Zhu Mama followed up to send Yijing to Guan Suiyuan, and did not forget to be grateful on the way: "Thanks to the reminder of the princess, the old slave was reunited with his children and grandchildren. ”

Zhu Mama these days, coldly watching Xiao Xie's and the princess confront, did not take advantage of it, and was more sure that the Chu Wangfu will be the "world" of the princess in the future, compared to the poisonous narrow-mindedness of the little Xie family, the princess is more generous and righteous, of course, she is the "Ming Lord", and then this time the princess can mention her, and successfully rescue the children from the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhu Mama is even more grateful, and look at this situation, the second room will be "swept away" by the princess sooner or later, her family will be rich and noble in the future, and she has to rely on the princess.

Of course, you have to rush to show your loyalty.

Yijing looked at Mama Zhu today, she also made a lot of efforts today, she was very eye-catching, but she restrained her usual indifference and indifference, and gave a gentle smile: "At the moment, the second aunt is still holding the middle feed, and Mama has to be cautious, don't let her really take the handle to make it difficult, you also know that grandmother is kind and loving, and the second aunt is both a niece and a daughter-in-law, and she still has weight in her grandmother's heart...... Today's incident, the second aunt will definitely think that I am dismantling the stage behind my back, and my grandmother is a cronie next to my grandmother, if you pretend not to know, the second aunt will definitely be angry and resentful, and the second aunt will wake up first. ”

As soon as Mama Zhu heard this, she knew that the princess wanted to provoke Xiao Xie, but this matter was done by her, which was beneficial and harmless to herself, so she hurriedly accompanied Xiao Ying to promise, and sure enough, she turned around and went straight to Lixiangyuan.
