"Okay." Concubine Dong was completely persuaded by her son's words, and she even had some admiration for her son, and said in her heart that she was worthy of being Shoufu's nephew, and her son was really good.

Although Dong Jincai is extremely capable of drilling, but in addition to taking bribes, buying land and collecting rent, there is no other better way to operate, a few years ago, Liu Guangyong took the lead, impeached him, and made a storm in the city, if it weren't for Liu Guangyong's too much pressure in those days, he suddenly had a stroke, and it should be Dong Jincai who fell, and since then, Dong Jincai has not dared to show his wealth too much, and the action of buying a large amount of land has also stopped. Qian Hao talked a lot and coaxed the woman in the house, in Dong Jincai's eyes, naïve and ridiculous, not convincing at all: "Read to me honestly, do you think it's so easy to get money?" Gao Tingfeng's dog nose is smart, waiting for his uncle to make a mistake every day, don't be stupid and send it to the door, you are unlucky, and your uncle will follow. ”

Qian Hao was scolded and slipped home, very unconvinced, but there was no way to open the current predicament, he was bored, so he ran out to eat flower wine with a few good relations, and it was not until the end of the year that he returned home drunk.

was urged by Princess Naren to move, Qian Hao spent every day and drank every day, and Mrs. Dong's side concubines were about to collapse, so she had to send someone to find Dong Jincai.

Qian Hao was even more afraid of Dong Jincai than Prince Ren, and he stood obediently and didn't dare to say more.

Dong Jincai's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Qian Hao with some annoyance: "This is your ability?" Listening to music, visiting flower buildings, walking chickens and dogs, you are becoming more and more similar to those gangsters on the street. ”

The corners of Qian Hao's mouth twitched, he was very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to contradict it.

Dong Jincai understood in his heart that being an uncle was different from being a father, so he smiled coldly: "What? If you have something to say, let me see, you are still reasonable. ”

Qian Hao gritted his teeth: "Uncle, I suffered from the last Spring Festival, and I didn't have any experience, if I read for another four years, it wouldn't be the same as the last time?" As the old saying goes, reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles, I'm good, I die studying all day long, where can I be productive? ”

Dong Jincai didn't answer, recently, on the issue of the selection of the right squire of the household department, he has a deep memory of Qian Wenhan, this person has no talent, the biggest advantage, the side is calm, the reason why he can stand out from many colleagues, is because he was not in the Jinshi before, he has been a master for two years, and he has made meritorious contributions, therefore, when he was still in the six departments of the same year, learning to be an official, he has already shown his skills in the household department, made a new bookkeeping method, and won the blue eyes of Emperor Yongchang, so that he was prosperous in the later promotion.

"Hao'er, since you want to go through the experience, let's go into the household department. The officials of the household department must study in the advanced financial school for two years, I can tell you, don't underestimate those counting methods, although it is a skill to do carving insects, but it is an indispensable ability for officials, my uncle will write a letter of recommendation to you. ”

"Two years?" Qian Hao was stunned for a moment, "Uncle, I heard that it was half a year." ”

"Half a year is a short-term course, only learn some abacus, bookkeeping, can only be a bookkeeper in the store, you don't worry, you must give me two years of hard study."

Qian Hao didn't want to go, he only had four years, two years to study here, and two years left, and he had to review his homework to prepare for the imperial examination, wouldn't his dream of making a fortune be even more distant? But he couldn't resist Dong Jincai, so he had to nod sullenly and agree.

In the next few days, Qian Hao was preparing to move, although he felt that from now on, he would be able to get up and live the life he wanted, but he was about to leave the beautiful prince's mansion and move to a courtyard that was less than one-fifth the size of the prince's mansion, not to mention any luxury and beauty, Qian Hao felt particularly aggrieved.

Qian Hao has been married, a wife and two concubines, and already has a daughter, Qilin Pavilion is actually a large courtyard, which has a master and a secondary, and is divided into six courtyards, he and his wife live in the largest courtyard in the middle, and the two concubines and daughters each have a courtyard. Qilin Pavilion is not as big as the main courtyard, but it is the most exquisite and elegant and magnificent made in the palace, the pavilions and pavilions are sparse and dense, the Danying carved beams and painted buildings, between the courtyard and the courtyard, the corridor is bent, the small bridge flows, covered with strange flowers and plants, it can be said that the scenery is moving step by step, and it is interesting everywhere, Concubine Liu used to like it very much here, so she gave Qian Xuan to live, and later Concubine Dong drove Qian Xuan out and gave Qian Hao to live, Princess Naren actually had a clear heart, just because Prince Ren was not in good health, so she didn't want to make trouble. Besides, her son has won the position of the prince, as long as she can successfully attack the knighthood, what can't she get back?

One of the most painful things in life is to gain and lose, which is more unbearable than not getting it for a lifetime. Qian Hao was in such a mood at this time, seeing the complicated and gorgeous Qilin Pavilion, comparing the five-in-seven courtyard house in the big locust tree alley he was about to move to, the ashes fluttered without a little color, he couldn't suppress the frustration and frustration in his heart, and at the same time, the unwillingness to lose was even stronger.

Mrs. Dong's side concubine came, and when she heard the rumors from her subordinates, Qian Hao hurriedly got up to greet her: "Why are you in such a hurry about the side concubine?" Look how sweaty you walk. ”

Concubine Dong and her son walked towards the courtyard, but their eyes glanced around majestically, and the servants hurriedly retreated: "Hao'er, the concubine is too much, she just sent someone to me to take back all the things in the mansion." ”

The furniture in the courtyard of Concubine Dong and Qian Hao's side, as well as the screens and vases in the house, some of them were not distributed to them, and Princess Naren was afraid that when they moved, she would be so cheeky and take them away, so she made the first move.

Concubine Dong and Qian Hao originally planned to take these away, but they were used to it, and besides, these furniture and furnishings were also extremely delicate and valuable, and they were worth twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver in total, and they were almost worth that set of houses.

Qian Hao saw that his mother was so angry that her fists clenched, her face turned blue, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart: "I'll go to her to comment, these are all rewards given to us when my father is here, why should she take it back?" Could it be that when my father is gone, his will can be disobeyed? ”

When Concubine Dong heard this, her expression immediately relaxed, and her son finally found a reason to let them move these things, and this reason was so high-sounding, I don't believe that she Naren dared not listen: "Hao'er, you wait, my mother will go to her to comment." ”

"I'll go with you." Qian Hao saw that his mother's sideburns had gray hair in less than half a year, and he was very sorry, so he wanted to stand up for her. To stand up for his biological mother is also to stand up for himself, and at this time, Qian Hao also let go.

Princess Naren these days, life is also very difficult, the son's title, let others take over, when will it come back, I don't know, Mrs. Dong's mother and son are constrained everywhere, it is easy to divide the family, these two still rely on not moving away, and, the house furnishings, but also want to keep it for herself, she sent a housekeeper mother to test it, and knew that her worries were not groundless, at this time, she was holding her forehead, thinking about countermeasures, and the next person reported that the two girls and sons were coming.

"Please!" Princess Naren was a strong person, and she knew that dodging would not solve the problem, so she decisively raised her head to face it.

Concubine Dong and Qian Hao are not people who dare to act, and in front of Princess Naren, they didn't dare to say their intentions directly, so the two of them sat down and started to fight.

Princess Naren was very tired during this time, and she was not in the mood to grind with them at all, so she asked straight to the point: "Qian Hao, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Sister, that's right."

Concubine Dong hurriedly answered, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Princess Naren: "Concubine Dong, this is our palace, not an ordinary people's house, and the title of this sister and sister is not in line with the rules." ”

Concubine Dong was stunned for a moment, the forced smile on her face froze, and she barely squeezed out a few laugh lines after a pause, but her mouth was more ugly than crying: "Yes, what Concubine Niangniang said is very true." ”

Princess Naren faced Qian Hao again and asked him to answer her own questions.

Qian Hao is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and he also saw just now that Princess Naren had no patience to deal with his mother and son, so he simply said: "Concubine, do you ask Mother Jing to notify the side concubine and ask her to leave all the things in the house?" ”

"What? When the family was separated, those things were not given to her. "Naren is right.

"Concubine, those are all used by the father for the side concubine, is it possible, the prince is not alive, and what he said doesn't count?"

Princess Naren was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Did the prince give those things?" I asked, the side concubine entered the house, the furnishings in the house were arranged by Mrs. Liu, and later added, it was to reward her for her tireless efforts to help Mrs. Liu and me manage the housework, the old people in the house, none of them remembered, when did the prince give the reward furniture, the prince gave the side concubine a lot of jewelry, and I never let the side concubine stay in this regard. ”

Qian Hao didn't expect that Princess Naren would not admit it, his eyes rolled and he didn't think of how to refute it, Concubine Dong was already eager to fire: "Concubine, how can you say that my furniture is not rewarded by the prince?" The four screens of spring, summer, autumn and winter with rosewood inlaid with tortoiseshell shells in my house are what the prince rewarded me for his good service. ”

Princess Naren smiled faintly: "The prince's reward, there are accounts in the palace, tell me, which year and month did the prince reward you?" I asked people to find out the books, and as long as there was a record on them, you were right. Concubine Dong was immediately dumbfounded, the four screens were quietly made when she helped Concubine Liu take care of Zhongkui, she didn't expect that Prince Ren would even have a record of such a small account. Qian Hao knew what was going on when he saw his mother stammering, but he guessed that his father would not leave such an account at all, so he casually recounted for a while: "In the spring of the twelfth year of Yongchang, I was old at that time and could remember something." ”
