Chapter 964: High Imitation Life Vase (4)
"Niangniang, don't worry, I'm not afraid that you will forget, so I will talk about the past situation so that you can understand!
Since you remember, so much the better.
Recently, his family's silver was stolen again, and it was not until this time that the silver was stolen and attracted people's attention, and another embarrassing thing in his family was not known to everyone. β
The original body is old, it's good if she doesn't have Alzheimer's, and it's not too normal to have a bad memory, so the female officer who told her the story has always been a convention, explaining the background of the story and even the relationship between the characters.
lest the original body be remembered and forgotten.
Listen to the maze of the lake.
At this time, although he was a little surprised to Ding Yun that he remembered everything, he didn't dare to ask more, but explained and talked about the latest gossip news:
"It is said that it was more than half a month ago, and the people of Dali Temple have not passed, and the people on the side heard the anger and wailing of their family, and later learned that this time their family not only stolen 60,000 taels of silver from the public treasury.
Their private treasury also suffered heavy losses, losing a total of nearly 200,000 taels worth of things, which was very terrifying.
The people of Dali Temple are suspicious of where their family has so many valuable things, there is not much ancestral property, and there is no profitable business, it is very unreasonable to have this money.
Later, the thief didn't find out, but the ugly thing about why their family was able to save so much silver was exposed, that is, their family was purely making money by selling their daughter, and earned the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Lin'an Hou has a lot of wives and concubines, and there are also a lot of children.
Especially the daughter.
His family seems to be accustomed to having daughters, Lin Anhou's wife gave birth to six daughters and two sons, some of the other concubines gave birth to three daughters, some gave birth to four daughters, the most one, even gave birth to several pairs of twin daughters, the sons add up to less than one palm, and the daughters add up, both hands and feet are not enough, but unfortunately these daughters gave birth to the wrong family.
entered the Hou Mansion.
It's not even as good as the people's homes that spoil their daughters.
Most of the daughters of other families are petted, otherwise they can have a dowry, choose the right family, or marry, or look at each other, but his daughters are clearly priced, and almost all of them marry into merchants.
The concubine is a dowry of 50,000 taels and a concubine is 20,000 taels.
For some wealthy businessmen, it is also very cost-effective to spend 350,000 taels of silver to marry the daughter of the Hou Mansion, even if the daughter of the Hou Mansion does not bring much dowry.
It can be said that except for the eldest daughter of his family, who needs to be used to maintain the faΓ§ade, and marries with similar people, almost all the rest of the concubines and concubines have been sold like this!
The five second daughters are two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.
More than 20 concubines are nearly 500,000 taels.
And every time I give a dowry, it is only 1,800 taels, which are useless and worthless things, and even many jewelry are only gold-plated and silver-plated, which is very pitiful.
Relying on the sale of his daughter, Lin'an Houfu forcibly made up for his family's deficit for many years, and made a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels.
It's a pity that in recent years, their family has married too many daughters, and they are not worth anything, according to some merchants' private rumors, the market has fallen, and the concubine is only worth 30,000 taels of silver, and the concubine is only worth 10,000 taels.
In the future, the granddaughter did not have the title of the daughter of the Hou Mansion.
The price will only be lower!
Listen, what a shameless man this is! β
Speaking of the back, the female officials who told the story were a little indignant, and even empathized, because she was also sold by her parents back then, but her parents didn't have the ability to sell it at a high price, and only sold it for ten taels of silver.
I thought that the daughters of these poor families would be sold by their parents, but now it seems to be the same.
The Hou Mansion is rich and rich, with fine clothes and food.
But just to get a better price.
"It seems that those merchants are really rich, after this matter spreads, I am afraid that there will be a lot of broken nobles, that is, the disappearance of those silver is indeed very strange.
Is it true that there is no clue at all? β
Regarding the sale of daughters in the Lin'an Hou Mansion, let alone Ding Yun, even the original body will not be too surprised, or how much pity will be born, after all, no matter how pitiful they are, they still have a thousand eight hundred taels of silver to accompany them, and there are slaves to call, which is not much better than those who have become slaves and even fallen into the dust, ordinary people and women may not be able to see what ten taels of silver look like in their lifetime.
Besides, generally speaking, as long as the Hou Mansion does not fall, those merchants do not dare to treat them harshly, and if they say something not very good, they may be more miserable than them in their lives with the princess.
"It can't be said that there are no clues at all, but there are too few clues, and there is no direct evidence to indicate that someone stole it, and even if there is a suspect, it is impossible to judge because the silver cannot be found.
As the saying goes, if you take a thief, you have to take dirty.
If there is no silver to be found, there is no physical evidence at all.
This is not a murder eucalyptus or something like that, it can also be tortured into a trick, or framed into a reality, but this time because the loss is not only silver, but also a lot of jewelry and furniture, celebrity calligraphy and painting, etc., so the people of Dali Temple are strictly investigating pawn shops everywhere, gambling houses and green buildings, but as long as they can find a lost thing in Lin'an Houfu.
This eucalyptus can be regarded as a breakthrough.
But there is no good news yet. β
The female officer continued to reply to Ding Yun's inquiry.
"I'm afraid the reason for this matter has to be on the Lin'an Hou Mansion itself, after all, if you really encounter some big thieves.
and will they steal only their families?
If I have such ability, I have to go around the entire imperial capital, and I have to go to the treasury once, so it can be seen that this thief is specifically targeting the Lin'an Hou Mansion, and has a grudge against the Lin'an Hou Mansion, and takes revenge.
Dim sum is here, what's in season today! β
As soon as she analyzed two sentences, Ding Yun saw that the palace maid who went to the dining room to carry snacks had arrived in a hurry, and she was very satisfied with this morning's breakfast, so she directly put the results of the analysis just now behind and began to look forward to today's snacks.
Then, of course, I was very happy to eat.
The chef of the food supervisor is still good in the case of hard work, and he dare not say that he is unique in the world, but he definitely belongs to one of the best handfuls of cooking skills in the whole world.
Ding Yun doesn't have a few teeth in his mouth now.
With a little soft and glutinous dim snack, it is just right.
Not long after the dim sum was eaten, just as I was about to continue chatting about the affairs of Lin'anhou Mansion, another palace maid came in outside and said that the queen was visiting. Although she has a high seniority, after all, she has no direct blood relationship with the queen, and it is not easy to see her, so she can only pack up and go because there is no queen mother, and she will be temporarily received by the main hall of Cining Palace, where she lives.
The queen definitely didn't dare to let such an old concubine salute, so after meeting, it was the queen who saluted Ding Yun, and then greeted her.
After chatting for half an hour, the queen finally got to the point, saying that her body and bones seem to be a little uncomfortable recently, may I ask what kind of health secret does Ding Yunke, who has lived for more than 100 years and is still very healthy?
As for what she wants.
It's hard to say if the emperor is embarrassed to ask.
