Chapter 111: Those who don't understand their meaning follow suit
In the study room of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, the little maid respectfully put the two hundred taels of silver tickets that the sisters of the Ji family had given to Hong Peiju on the table.
After Hong Pei Juju saw it, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to let the little guy retreat.
Liu Baosheng, one of Hong Peiju's henchmen, said indignantly,
"This Ji family sisters are too ignorant, their sisters eat in the Hou Mansion, live in the Hou Mansion, worry about them all day long, the Hou Mansion takes care of them so much, but they are so stingy, they only give Hou Ye two hundred taels a month. Isn't that looking down on people? ”
Because the sisters of the Ji family are ordered to live in the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, the Internal Affairs Office will allocate 5,000 taels of silver to the sisters of the Ji family every month.
Sometimes, there are others, food and clothing, miscellaneous and miscellaneous not less than 1,800 silver.
Hong Peiju looked very red-eyed.
That's more than his money!
Every month, Ji Chen would take out two hundred taels of silver and give it to Hong Peiju, saying that he was grateful to Master Hou for taking the trouble! Xie Houye's many days of painstaking care, and so on.
Sometimes, some food cloth from the palace is selected and sent together.
Hong Peiju usually accepts all the orders.
Liu Bao said angrily,
"Every month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives them 5,000 taels of silver, and the two little girls know how to take care of it, but they obviously don't trust Master Hou! Since you don't trust Lord Hou, what are you doing in our Hou Mansion? Either they squander it themselves! Either they were deceived and wasted by some cheating and slippery people! Why are they so ignorant, they should put this money here and let Hou Ye manage it for them and take care of it for them, could it be that Hou Ye can still be greedy for their silver? ”
Liu Baosheng complained and complained, and he also knew the measure, but he didn't say the words "leave the Hou Mansion if you don't trust the Hou Ye".
Hong Peiju did not speak.
In fact, Liu Baosheng said what was on his mind.
Previously, when the sisters of the Ji family lived in Huai'an Houfu, he also had such a little Jiujiu, and felt that the Internal Affairs Office would regularly allocate some expenses for Ji Chen's life, and it would not be for Hou to make Hou's Mansion suffer.
Hong Peiju thought at that time that if he could take charge of this money, or to intercept some of it, then he would have a lot of money on hand!
But I didn't expect that since the sisters of the Ji family called the Hou Mansion, they firmly grasped the property allocated to them in the palace in their own hands, except for some daily contacts in the Hou Mansion during the New Year's Festival, they only gave Hong Peiju two hundred taels of silver every month.
This really made Hong Peiju angry, but there was no way to do it.
Because the money belongs to others, people can spend it as they want, and the Internal Affairs Office directly sent the silver ticket to Ji Chen's hands, and he didn't even transfer it, so he couldn't snatch it from Ji Chen's hands!
Although Hong Peiju can say that the Hou Mansion here is responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation, there must be some expenses, for example, last year's winter clothes, the Internal Affairs Office was supposed to send a few pieces, but Yang said that the Hou Mansion would definitely make them for the Ji sisters, so they also deliberately gave more cloth.
But after Ji Xun came to the Hou Mansion, he gave the Yang family 1,000 taels of silver every month according to Ji Jun's instructions.
Not to mention that these silver coins are enough for the expenses of the two sisters, even the expenses of the entire Dangui Garden cannot be used so much.
Therefore, Hong Peiju has no reason to snatch the money from Ji Chen's hands again.
Especially later, Li Mi and Zhou Biao and Zhou Huan often sent people to "greet", Hong Peiju knew that he couldn't force the Ji sisters for the money, and he could have small actions in secret, but he couldn't tear his face.
The generation from Huai'an Houfu to Hong Peiju is already the sixth generation, and he himself has already felt a kind of sunset and twilight.
Hong Peiju is always thinking about how to change the status quo, and he used to have great ambitions, but now, there is always a deep sense of powerless frustration.
He remembered his heavenly grandfather, that is, the father of his great-grandfather, and the first generation of Huai'an Marquis also had a certain weight in the court.
Although it is not as important as several grandfathers such as Liguogong, he has also galloped across the field and dominated the world, otherwise he would not have been awarded the title of "Hou Ye".
But by the time of the second generation of great-grandfather, because the family was prosperous at that time and his father's meritorious deeds were blessed, his great-grandfather became a gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and the family property was almost lost. At the same time, Huai'an Hou was squeezed out of the court.
The great-grandfather of the third generation began to work hard to revitalize the Huai'an Hou Mansion.
But at that time, there was no war or strife in the four seas.
Moreover, the two great princes of Liguo and Qin Guogong guarded the border, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and there was no need for new rising stars to be added to the army.
Therefore, the chances of the generals at that time were really limited.
In particular, his great-grandfather's martial arts talents were very ordinary.
His great-grandfather failed to participate in the martial arts examination, and he was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, so his martial arts strategy was naturally not as good as the fighting tempering of several generations of thunder generals at the border pass.
began to participate in the civil official imperial examination again, but such a halfway monk, coupled with average qualifications, is naturally not comparable to Concubine Lu's father, the former dynasty Lu Taifu, and the current dynasty Qi Xiang, Nangong Taifu and other scholarly children taught by a family of scholars.
It's really not enough.
After more than ten years of hard work, he finally had to bow his head and accept his fate.
At this time, I remembered that although some people in the court were marginalized, some people sent their daughters to the palace and won wealth again!
So Hong Peiju's great-grandfather also did everything possible to select beautiful girls from within the clan.
This time it was not in vain, and finally found the daughter of a distant cousin's family, so the great-grandfather took this cousin niece as a righteous daughter, just as she and he now accepted Baoqi as a righteous daughter.
It is said that this cousin's grandmother is extremely beautiful, Hong Peiju has seen the portrait, just a still portrait that has faded over time, it is already amazing!
Hong Peiju even sighed countless times, if the cousin's grandmother met the current saint, I am afraid that she would also be like the mother of the third prince, and favor the harem!
But my aunt and grandmother may have been from a small family, and she hadn't read too many books, and she hadn't been influenced by the atmosphere of a big family.
Although in a short period of time, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can have a certain effect.
In terms of etiquette, I can also train seven or eight, but my aunt and grandmother have never seen the scene of the battle in the inner house of a large family in a deep house, and that kind of scheming and calculation is really incomparable with the woman who has been immersed in the struggle of the big family in the capital for a long time.
After my cousin and grandmother entered the palace, they never received the holy favor!
At that time, the emperor's biological mother died early, and she was raised by Concubine Qiu, and after the emperor succeeded to the throne, she named Concubine Qiu as the queen mother.
Concubine Qiu's biological son, Prince Cheng, has always wanted to replace him. Concubine Qiu also secretly poked and poked the emperor in the harem.
Some officials who wanted to speculate also began to cling to Concubine Qiu and Prince Cheng.
As a last resort, the emperor had to rely on the support of the court's loyal ministers.
Therefore, at that time, the women of several big families were very favored.
These concubines are also very beautiful, and they are very talented, and they have their own strengths.
And the most important thing is that the father and brother have a prominent position in the court and hold real power.
And the cousin's grandmother, who has no family background and is not very thoughtful, was squeezed to the edge by the concubines of these big families in the harem soon after entering the palace, and basically couldn't even see the face of the saint.
There was no way, and later when her great-grandmother entered the palace, she cried to her great-grandmother.
There were no women in the great-grandmother's family to enter the palace, and she didn't have much experience in this area, and she couldn't give correct guidance because of her limited knowledge, so she could only teach her to "please" the queen, "please" the concubines with high status, and let her hug her thighs.
However, anyone who is "flattered" will not lack flattery and praise.
What's more, those who are "flattered" can be settled by more than flattery and flattery?
At that time, Yin Jieyu was in the midst of holy favor, so her aunt and grandmother tried every means to get in touch with Yin Jieyu.
Yin Jieyu is pregnant at the moment, and she is arrogant and domineering in the palace.
Aunt and grandmother flattered Yin Jieyu in every way, and gradually, Yin Jieyu began to treat her as her own.
In fact, at that time, Yin Jieyu wanted to find someone to consolidate the holy favor when she was pregnant, so as not to be seduced away by the other fox concubines.
After contact, I found that my aunt and grandmother had a good appearance, a simple mind, and easy to control.
Therefore, he hit it off with his cousin and grandmother, so he began to deliberately support her.
But at this time, Yin Jieyu had a conflict with Xu Chongrong.
Yin Jieyu has always looked at Xu Chongrong unpleasantly, so she wants to take this opportunity to put Xu Chongrong to death.
At this time, it was just in time for the officials to evaluate the performance of officials, and the results of the evaluation were the basis for the promotion of these officials.
Xu Chongrong's father is a servant of the ministry, who is upright and inflexible, so he naturally offended some people.
Yin Jieyu asked Hong Peiju's cousin and grandmother, who was already Hong Xiaoyi's testimony at that time, that Xu Chongrong had colluded with his father and brother outside the palace to buy the official mantle, which was tantamount to the concubine's interference in court politics!
Of course, Xu Chongrong refused to admit it!
After the incident became bigger, the emperor ordered the queen and the four concubines to investigate the harem in person, and let the Dali Temple investigate outside, and finally found that it was a false accusation!
The emperor was furious, and in a fit of anger, he sent Hong Xiaoyi into the cold palace.
At this time, Yin Jieyu's father participated in Prince Cheng's rebellion!
The emperor was even more angry, and gave Yin Jieyu to death, along with the child in her belly!
The aftermath was not settled, and some people remembered Hong Xiaoyi who was beaten into the cold palace, so Hong Xiaoyi was also given to death!
Before Hong Xiaoyi died, she knew that she had no way to live, but begged to see her family before she died.
After seeing her great-grandmother, Hong Xiaoyi couldn't cry, and her grandmother was also very hurt, although she was not her own daughter, she was also raised under her knees for many years, and she was later sent to the palace and had dealings.
I never thought that I didn't get the wealth, but I took my life!
Before Hong Xiaoyi died, she told her great-grandmother that there was a secret in the Liguo family, and this secret involved the stability of the country, and even the change of ownership of the country!
And this secret is also related to the royal family, if you know this secret, then you will be valued by the emperor.
Hong Peiju's grandfather saw his cousin die tragically soon after entering the palace, and since then, the Huai'an Hou family has also been rejected by the saint, and his grandfather has not dared to make any more moves, and he has been doing nothing all his life.
In Hong Peiju's father's generation, because he was the new emperor who ascended the throne, he was a son of heaven and a courtier, and he gave many people the opportunity to make a comeback.
Hong Peiju's father began to operate cautiously, catering to the minds of ministers from all walks of life, and finally found a position as a foreigner in the household department.
Although he did not have much real power in this household department, he finally came to the edge of the core of power again, and it can be regarded as some improvement.
He told Hong Peiju, the cousin, the secret that his grandmother had bought with her life.
So Hong Peiju began to have the heart to make friends, make friends with the royal family, and make friends with the children of the family. But because after all, the Huai'an Hou Mansion is not very prominent, and the sons of dignitaries and dignitaries are not very willing to contact him.
He didn't have a lot of money for these children to squander, and it was difficult for him to play with them.
Until, Hong Peiju caught Chen Zhuoxin's thigh!
