Chapter 41 shows their powers
Xia Jing covered her mouth, she didn't even dare to speak too much, and she panicked when she touched it slightly, "It's a little problem, it's just a little hot, why are you all here?" Didn't Hongmei's big mouth tell you? ”
"Mother, you don't know your own maid, that girl's mouth is as tight as a clam shell, how can she spread your affairs everywhere."
Saying that, the eldest lady took a few brothers and daughters-in-law to give Xia Jing a salute, and then said: "It was the daughter-in-law's maid who went to the house doctor to get ginseng tablets, and happened to meet Hongmei who asked the house doctor to grab the medicine, and only after asking did I learn that you were on fire." Why don't you bring a few younger siblings to visit you, do you have serious sores in your mouth? ”
Xia Jing asked Bai Mei to move a stool and make tea, and when they all sat down and settled down, she apologized and said: "Now that you are outside, the conditions are naturally not as simple as being in the house, so you will settle for a while." As for my ulcers, it's okay, there are a few bubbles in my mouth, although it hurts a little when I touch it, but it will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry. ”
After saying a paragraph, Xia Jing covered her mouth with one hand, hiss, it really hurts!
She didn't want to speak, but these 'daughters-in-law' were kind enough to visit her, and they couldn't ignore it.
She has always been a good and polite girl.
The second lady Wen was concerned: "Mother, seeing that you are so uncomfortable, do you want to ask the house doctor to come and take a look?" ”
Xia Jing didn't care whether they really or pretended to care, she smiled and refused.
The eldest lady, "The daughter-in-law still has some golden silk chrysanthemums left, and I will ask the maid to send them over later, and the mother concubine will drink it as a tea, which can be a good way to defeat fire and detoxify." ”
The eldest lady was born in Yizhou, a century-old Wang family, Hua's family, and her father's official to the left servant, often accompanied by the king's side, is the right-hand man of Emperor Huiyuan, and the minister of the humerus.
Now that he has fled to Emperor Huiyuan, I believe it will not be long before there will be news.
After the eldest lady married her uncle Li Chengshang, the personalities of the husband and wife were quite compatible, the husband and wife sang and the wife followed, the husband and wife had a good relationship, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and only the youngest son has not yet married.
The hundred-year-old Wang clan attaches great importance to the cultivation of women in the clan, and the eldest lady has been familiar with books such as "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" since she was a child.
Therefore, she has always paid attention to filial piety to the elders, friendship and concubine, caring for the juniors and obedience to her husband, which can be called a model for women in this era.
In a feudal society, Xia Jing disagrees with the rules and regulations that bind women, but she also has to say that for a woman like her, who lives as the ancestor of the family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
You see how worry-free the 'daughters-in-law' who sit down and greet her with warmth, as long as her seniority is here, they have to be respectful to her.
At least on the surface.
As for what they think? Xia Jing doesn't care at all, she has to be more comfortable in life, as long as they don't make trouble for her, everyone can be safe under one roof.
Faced with all kinds of concerns from her daughters-in-law, Xia Jing didn't want to speak because of her sore mouth, so she could only answer them in a hmmmm
Everyone was chatting energetically, and Zeng Yan asked to see him outside the door.
"The butler is here?"
Several daughters-in-law looked at each other, what was he doing here?
Xia Jing raised her hand and motioned for please come in.
Zeng Yan walked in calmly with a stack of account books, and was slightly stunned when he saw a room of women, but he quickly reacted and saluted everyone, "The old slave has seen the princess and a few ladies. ”
Several ladies stared at the account book in Zeng Yan's arms, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
The smile on Xia Jing's face deepened, and asked Bai Mei to move a stool for him.
In front of the master, Zeng Yan didn't dare to sit down when he borrowed the courage from the sky, he presented the account book to Xia Jing, and honestly retreated to the corner as a background board.
The eldest lady pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mother, I said that the account books, warehouse keys and pairs of cards in the inner courtyard of the house are all with me, and I will ask Chun'er to send them to you in a hurry." ”
Xia Jing's eyelids jumped, and she waved her hand: "Don't worry about this, I'll put you there first." ”
It is unknown how much of the palace's property is left now, but Xia Jing is sure that the property of the palace may be less than 20% left.
What is the purpose of these two percent?
Maybe the guard battalion of the palace can't be fed, and taking over the middle feed is equivalent to taking over a bunch of trouble.
The eldest lady smiled and shook her head: "It's not in accordance with the rules in the daughter-in-law, since you are back, you still have to be in charge of the middle feed in the house, I, who was temporarily ordained, really can't manage it well, and I will have to learn more from you in the future." ”
Xia Jing covered her cheeks, and at this moment she not only had a pain in her mouth, but also felt that her teeth hurt together.
At this time, she didn't bother to pay attention to them, so let's go through her private property account book first.
Just flipped through the two account books, Xia Jing's face slowly sank.
The ledger clearly recorded the whereabouts of her private property, and she raised her head and glanced at the few 'daughters-in-law' who were sitting in danger.
She patted the account book, "The second family, when the concubine celebrated her thirtieth birthday, you borrowed the best jade screen that Princess Yi gave me, what?" The dowry that your Wen Shixuan Mansion prepared for you back then, even the screen was not prepared for you? ”
The second lady was named, and she stood up in shock, she didn't expect Xia Jing to embarrass her in person for a screen.
"Mother, you misunderstood, but at that time...... The eldest lady of Shaofu is my best friend, and you also know that she personally likes jade, she came to the house as a guest, and I couldn't get a decent jade screen for a while, so I ...... I opened my mouth and asked Mama Cui to borrow your jade screen temporarily. ”
Seeing that Xia Jing was still black-faced, the second lady said stubbornly: "I'll ask the maid to send it to you later." ”
Xia Jing stared at her expressionlessly: "What else?" ”
The second lady wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurriedly raised a finger, "At that time, I also borrowed a farm from you, thinking of a variety of fruit trees, and the current weather seems to be impossible to plant, so I will let the maid send the title deed together." ”
Zhuangzi is in Gyeonggi, and now he is fleeing, and it is useless to hold the title deed in his hands, so he simply returns the goods to his original owner to save trouble.
Xia Jing hummed lightly, and agreed.
The second lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her seat, when she was greedy for her property, how could she have thought that the person who had been buried and left the funeral would come back alive?
Xia Jing lowered her eyes, continued to flip through the account book, and asked lightly, "What about you?" The dowry given by the Fu Mansion is not enough for your expenses, right? ”
The third lady's face was not as thick as that of a few concubines, and when she was named, her cheeks were hot, and she said with a red face: "Mother, you know, we are concubines, and we are really a little nervous at hand, so ...... I asked my grandmother to borrow two shops and wanted to make a living to maintain the daily expenses of the three rooms. ”
Xia Jing raised her head and looked at her speechlessly, the idea that you can hit her private property if you are nervous in the third room?
It is said that after the death of the princess's private property, most of it is left to her children, but the situation of Prince Qian's Mansion is a little special, Xia Jing is the second princess, and her private property is only left to her biological Xiaowu.
She didn't expect that as soon as the original owner took his last breath, these so-called filial sons and grandsons couldn't wait to divide her property, and the reasons were really varied, each showing their magical powers.
