Chapter 51 Term
The eldest lady didn't tell Ji Zhengrong when she moved the money, after all, it was not a glorious thing.
At the beginning, I wanted to find a good family for Ji Ruochu, but this Kyoto is too big, and people like them who have no foundation can only find a bad one, and it is difficult to pick it up well.
Fortunately, Ji Ruochu was angry and got the opportunity to go to the school, and after looking for a long time there, he finally got in touch with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What kind of official is the prime minister?
That's the master who says nothing in the court, not to mention that the current queen is still the daughter of the prime minister, and the eldest son is also in an important position in the court, although the second son is a concubine, he is also a person who can see the future.
The eldest lady's goal for her daughter is to go to the house of the great official, so that she can also touch a little light of the emperor's relatives and relatives.
She was raised as the eldest lady and was just a flat wife, the concubine of the Ji family was Ji Yuexi from the beginning, Ji Ruochu's concubine's name is not right, and the one who came later always did not see any brilliance.
What's more, Ji Zhengrong is not outstanding in the court, and he has used Ji Yuexi's family affairs to make a job several times, and now Zhengsanpin does not get much real power.
The situation of the Ji family is very embarrassing, and being able to get a family relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion is just to get closer to the emperor.
Ji Zhengrong also participated in this family affair, and talked to the prime minister a few times on the side.
After all, he is not a concubine, although a concubine is also a talent, but it is not the most important.
At first, the prime minister didn't think much of Ji Zhengrong, but finally thought that Chi Xingyu and Ji Yuexi still had a family affair, Chi Xingyu is also a good brother of today's saint, and the two have been close since childhood, so they are naturally people all the way.
In addition, his concubine also likes Ji Ruochu, and this matter is not too difficult, so he settles it himself.
Where is the prime minister's family as thin as the Ji family? is generous, just a concubine also made a grand marriage, and the Ji family must not be too bad.
At that time, Ji Zhengrong had not yet become an official of Zhengsanpin, and Yu Lu did not have much entertainment on weekdays, let alone prepare a dowry for his daughter.
In order to save face for Ji Ruochu, the eldest lady fell in love with Ji Yuexi's things.
The royal gift is worth a lot of money, the first time it was embezzled, there was a second time, and the last little bit was taken to help Ji Ruochu, and it had already been spent, and then there was no money to fill this gap.
Originally, Ji Yuexi was going to die, the eldest lady was thinking about Ji Yuexi's death, and felt that the threat at this time was getting smaller and smaller, and she didn't even pay attention to it at all.
I didn't calculate that Ji Yuexi had changed a lot in just a few days, and the pustules on her face seemed to have improved, so the doctor remembered this old thing.
was threatened by Ji Yuexi at that time, and she still thought about prevaricating later.
This time, the worry in my heart deepened.
Isn't it impossible to escape......
The eldest lady palpitated in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at Ji Zhengrong beside her.
Ji Zhengrong really doesn't know about this matter, since he became an official, he only knows how to spend money and deal with his own communication, and he has never considered these silver things.
People who always feel that they want to do big things, how can they be entangled in these trivial things at home?
Ji Yuexi's dowry? He never thought that Ji Yuexi, who had no sense of existence at all in the Ji family, would still have these things.
At the beginning, she was lukewarm to Ji Yuexi and her mother, especially after coming to Kyoto, the woman with a sense of freshness was blinded, and she couldn't look down on Ji Yuexi's ordinary mother, if it wasn't for the drunkenness that day, Ji Yuexi might not be born.
However, he also heard from Ji Yuexi's words that she wanted silver, put on a disdainful expression, and said to the eldest lady.
"Give! Give her her dowry, and from now on, you will get out of the Ji family for me, don't say that you are my Ji Zhengrong's daughter! I don't have a rebel like you! ”
Ji Zhengrong thought that Ji Yuexi wanted a small amount of money, and even thought that the Ji family could afford it.
When he said this, there was no psychological pressure at all, and the face of the eldest lady beside him directly turned pale.
"Old man......"
At this time, the eldest lady's heart is like an ant on the oil pot, on the one hand, she can't take out the money at all, and on the other hand, she complains about Ji Zhengrong's naivety.
"Give it to her! After giving it to her, let her get out of Ji's house! When her princess goes! ”
Ji Zhengrong was obviously also angry by Ji Yuexi's approach, seeing that she was so arrogant in front of him now, let her know how to survive if she went out of this door.
Although he was unwilling in the court, in Ji Mansion, everyone followed Ji Zhengrong to eat, and they all looked at his face, and Ji Zhengrong at home completely regarded himself as the emperor of the soil.
After yelling, he found that the eldest lady had not moved for a long time, and Ji Zhengrong finally began to be strange.
There were too many people around, not only a few of them, but also the fourth aunt and a group of maids and servants, the eldest lady pulled Ji Zhengrong's sleeve, and her eyes motioned for him to come over.
It seems that there is still something unspeakable, Ji Zhengrong became more and more strange, and followed the eldest lady to the side to speak carefully.
This looks very difficult, and for Ji Zhengrong's arrogant speech before, the banter on Ji Yuexi's face deepened.
"What? The huge Ji Mansion has no money? And you want to swallow what my mother left for me? ”
Ji Yuexi finally caught Ji Zhengrong's weakness and vented fiercely.
"Miss Ji's dowry has been taken to fill the middle, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will make trouble in front of the emperor."
She continued to press, her voice loud enough for everyone present to hear.
Ji Zhengrong and the others had even worse faces, but there was no way to speak at all.
All the money in the house is in the hands of the eldest lady, she doesn't speak, and the others are even less qualified.
and the master of the family is also there, and only the two of them can solve this matter.
Looking at Ji Zhengrong again, he listened to what the eldest lady said, and his face couldn't help but sink a little.
At this time, the eldest lady didn't dare to hide it, and directly confessed this matter to Ji Zhengrong.
"Master, you also said that you could use the money left by the first lady, but now that they have been used, how can you say that you can return it?"
Ji Zhengrong asked rhetorically: "My huge Ji Mansion, is it possible that I can't get a little silver?" ”
He doesn't believe that he has been an official for more than ten years, and he has no savings at all?
Speaking of this eldest lady, she was angry, although Ji Zhengrong had a lot of money, he couldn't resist his occasional entertainment, and he wanted to go to a good restaurant to eat, because his status was not enough, and he had to give gifts.
These casual expenses are naturally not low, if it weren't for the benefits taken from the emperor's side, the Ji family would definitely not be able to hold on, and now she still comes to ask her why she can't take out the silver? Did he not have any count in his heart?
The eldest lady had a dark face, endured Ji Zhengrong's innocence and short-sightedness, and gritted her back molars and said.
"Master, you always have to go to banquets and dinners on weekdays, and you have to give gifts, do you think that this silver is grown for no reason?"
"Also, since the last time you ransomed your third aunt from Hualou, you forgot?"
"The vacancy of the redemption of these three aunts has not been filled back, and you have to go and bring the four aunts back from the art house, if it weren't for persuasion, you would have been hooked by a little slut last year."
"How can you say that Ji Mansion also has a population of hundreds, is it possible that we all have to go hungry for no reason for the sake of the master's heart?"
In the past, the eldest lady did feel that this position was beautiful, after all, she was in charge of money, and everything in the house had to pass through her hands.
I don't know how difficult it is to be when I become a man, especially when there is a man at home who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun!
He thought he was the savior of the family, but in fact he was the biggest moth in the family!
Although I earn a lot, I never spend less!
It's not that she didn't tell Ji Zhengrong, every time she finished speaking, Ji Zhengrong looked impatient, so she had a lot of relationship with her, and ran to the courtyard of the third and fourth aunts all day long, leaving her alone in the empty room.
Fortunately, she is also competitive enough, and she has a daughter and a son, and now her daughter is married well.
At first, she helped Ji Ruochu to let her gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then gradually it became that Ji Ruochu used the money of the Prime Minister's Mansion to subsidize Ji Fu.
If it weren't for her, the eldest lady wouldn't know how to manage these bad debts.
There was also the plan of Ji Zhengrong and the emperor last time, and finally the Ji family got a little better, and now Ji Yuexi wants the lion to open his mouth, how can they get it!
Ji Zhengrong was stunned by the eldest lady's complaints, and was completely stunned.
He really didn't know it before, but now he understands the seriousness of the matter.
"Can't you really get a penny at home......
Seeing the embarrassment of the eldest lady, he felt a little weak at the moment.
He had already put down the cruel words to Ji Yuexi just now, and now the sudden change of hexagram made him feel that he couldn't pull his face.
"Master, why don't you go to the account room and look at the accounts of the Ji Mansion, and you will know!"
The eldest lady has long lost the appearance of a bird, and has become a tigress that Ji Zhengrong hates on weekdays, looking at her tense face, she inexplicably has the urge to leave.
It was such an attitude that made him lose his liking for the eldest lady.
No matter how beautiful her face is, it will become dull because of the trivial things of life, and Ji Zhengrong, who thinks he is a merry and talented person, is unwilling to be bound by these, and wants to be chic, but forgets that he has no ability at all.
But the words have been released, and he must solve this matter, otherwise he will lose the face of this old man.
"Not long ago, the emperor gave a batch of silver, so it's better to ......"
"Ji Zhengrong! Do you really want the entire Ji family to be buried with you! ”
The eldest lady looked at Ji Zhengrong, she was so angry that she didn't fight, and yelled directly!
This sentence was so loud that everyone looked at them, and their expressions began to become strange.
The melon looked delicious, so Ji Yuexi couldn't help but peek at them.
It's a pity that her mental power is still very weak, she can't hear a sound at all, and the two of them even have their backs to everyone, and they don't even have a chance to guess the spoken language.
That is, the kung fu of a cup of tea, Ji Zhengrong and the eldest lady finally discussed.
I saw that Ji Zhengrong had lost the momentum he had just now, and looked at Ji Yuexi and snorted, his tone was already a little weaker than before.
"Why don't I know you have a dowry? The truth of this matter still needs to be considered, and I will talk about it after I and the eldest lady have reconciled the accounts of the last Ji family. ”
"Oh? Then give me a deadline. Ji Yuexi looked at Ji Zhengrong's appearance and wanted to get rid of it, looked at the crowd watching the play behind him and said, "Otherwise, I don't know if Master Ji will run away from my single." ”
