Chapter 430: Generous Donation to Princess Rui
"The mother is hospitable, and I want the concubines to return happy, and the concubines can't bear to live up to the love of the mother!"
"That's right, every time I come to the palace as a guest, I can see the difference in detail, and I can see the ...... Niangniang"
Good guy, the sycophants came at the beginning, which made Baochai feel a little smacked, and secretly said that he used to look down on these civil officials.
The scene was all female dependents, and after some flattery at the beginning, the chat content still fell back to the inner house, and everyone talked about the fun talk of the governing family.
"Baochai, why are you so worried?"
"I didn't ...... No! ”
Normally, Baochai can definitely manage her expressions, and being seen by Chen Zhi at this moment is sad, which is completely deliberate.
Chen Zhi immediately said: "If you have difficulties and grievances, just say, do you still see your sister-in-law?" ”
"Alas...... It's all tedious housework, which is a disappointment, so don't talk about it! Baochai shook his head helplessly, completely grasping the essence of wanting to capture and indulge.
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Which one of you is not talking about family affairs, we are not men who are busy with political affairs, what are we talking about if we don't talk about family affairs?" ”
In fact, after her words and words, she has attracted the attention of everyone present.
"It's not for the silver......
Just listening to what Baochai said, Chen Zhi felt that it was not good, but the matter was irreparable.
Now that she has spoken, Baochai has no possibility of stopping, so she continued: "Sister-in-law, you know, the expenses in our house are huge, and the treasury is not as good as ...... day by day."
"A few days ago, I told the prince to ask him to find some people to get a few shops and make up for the house, sister-in-law guess what he said?"
Here Baochai specially emphasized that it was her idea to make money, and such a "notoriety" of greedy money would fall on her head, and it would not affect Zhu Jinghong in this regard.
"What did the thirteenth brother say?" Chen Zhi asked with a smile, but she had already scolded in her heart.
was different from Chen Zhi's mood, and the women present wanted to know what Zhu Jinghong said.
I saw Baochai helplessly said: "Our prince said that silver is something outside the body, so it's not a big deal, saying that even if the silver is really bad, just ask my brother to borrow it, and also said that the sixth brother said that if there is a difficulty, look for him!" ”
"Huh...... The thirteenth brother is really, really well-said, isn't that silver something outside the body! Chen Zhiqiang said with a smile and changed the topic by the way.
"Sister-in-law, you can praise him, he doesn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, how can he know the truth that it is difficult to be a hero for a penny!"
Seeing that Baochai didn't ask for money directly, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she was also very nervous about the money in the Rui Wangfu.
"This is right, their men are happy outside, who knows the difficulties of our women!" Chen Zhi looked at everyone present and said.
Baochai smiled, then nodded and said: "That's exactly the truth, so I told him at the time, the sixth brother is just polite, how can you take it seriously!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi's smile froze, but in an instant, she smiled again, and at the same time, she began to scold Zhu Lao Liu in her heart.
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so I persuaded him not to bother the sixth brother, so I asked him to find someone to open a shop!"
After Baochai's words, Chen Zhi was completely set up, and her body and mind were in torment.
So many people present watched, if she didn't say anything at this time, Rui Wangfu would become a laughing stock.
On weekdays, he boasted about Haikou in front of his younger brother, but now that people are really in trouble, they don't care, and these words spread that the Rui Wangfu would lose a lot.
"Brother and sister, what are you talking about, even if our palace is in trouble, we can't move some silver, you can just say it!"
How much silver is stored in Xiangwang's Mansion, of course, the women present don't know, but thinking that Zhu Jinghong is not good at management, they will naturally believe Baochai's words.
Only Chen Zhi has a general understanding and knows that even if the Xiangwang Mansion is unable to make ends meet, there are at least 100,000 taels of silver deposited now.
"Sister-in-law, how embarrassing is this, no matter how difficult it is, we can get through, but we can't drag you down!" Baochai looked unbearable, and she became more and more handy in dealing with it.
She and Zhu Jinghong have been married for a long time, and they have heard their men complain, how many times have they been dug by the sixth child before, and today Baochai just took the opportunity to take revenge.
Even when she was invited over today, Baochai knew that Chen Zhi was not well-intentioned, so she came prepared.
At this time, her words have completely forced Chen Zhi into a "desperate situation", and she can't help her today.
"Look at what this is talking about, what kind of drag is there for my brother!
"Baochai, you have just opened the council, and it is normal that you are not rich, how much money is missing, can you still help as a brother and sister-in-law?"
At this time, a woman said: "Xue Niangniang, Rui Wangfu is anxious for justice, righteousness and wealth, and its reputation is well known to the government and the public...... Ordinary people can help when they are in trouble, how can they not help their brother-in-law! ”
Obviously, this person didn't see the situation clearly, and he didn't forget to pat the fart of Rui Wangfu at this time, but most of the people present had such thoughts.
Obviously, the high-end game of Baochai and Chen Zhi is not something that ordinary people can understand, let alone participate in it.
"This ......" Baochai still had a difficult face.
Seeing that Baochai didn't speak, Chen Zhi took the initiative to say: "A few days ago, Zhuangzi sent 10,000 taels of silver, you can use it first!" ”
In a word, 10,000 taels of silver went out, and Chen Zhi was also extremely painful.
Of course, she could say three thousand five thousand, but she really couldn't take it out of her hand, so she shouted out ten thousand taels of silver.
Hearing this, Baochai felt a little remorseful for a while, and secretly said that he should not delay, otherwise he could squeeze out at least 20,000 silver.
At this time, Chen Zhi had already spoken, and Baochai naturally didn't want more.
"This ...... With so much silver, why don't you discuss it with the sixth brother? Baochai said pretentiously.
"He's the one who loves his brother the most, and he can say that I'm not doing it right?"
Then Chen Zhi said with a smile: "What's more, the relationship between our sisters is closer than that of our sisters, even if he says anything, I'm not afraid!" ”
She is stopping the loss, and at this moment she is emphasizing that the relationship between the concubines is good, in order to show it more forcefully, and the relationship between her Chen Zhi and Baochai is much better than that of Yuan Chun.
borrowed the silver here, Baochai's frowns naturally stretched, and she talked happily with Chen Zhiyan.
As for the matter of repaying the money, Baochai didn't think about it at all, after all, Rui Wangfu would not be embarrassed to ask for it.
Even if he comes to ask for it, according to Zhu Jinghong's temperament, he may not want to repay the money he borrowed with his ability.
At the banquet, the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful, and Zhu Jingyuan, who was pulled to Shanglin Yuan, had a sense of spending his days like a year.
Zhu Jinghong's so-called fun things, such as riding a horse, shooting arrows, shooting guns, and firing guns, Zhu Jingyuan didn't like any of them.
But Zhu Jinghong wanted to take him to play, and after some tossing, he was sore, and his ears were buzzing with the sound of cannons.
Looking at his dumbfounded brother, Zhu Jinghong was a little ashamed for a while.
Just now, he forgot to shout to the sixth man to open his mouth, the key is that this guy is also close to the muzzle, and it has become like this at this time.
Zhu Jinghong stepped forward and said with a little embarrassment: "Sixth brother, it's not too early, let's go back!" ”
"What? What bath? Zhu Jingyuan replied loudly.
So Zhu Jinghong could only lean close to the ear of the sixth child and shouted loudly: "I said that it was not early, go home!" ”
"Oh, it's time to go back, my stinky sweat!"
Even if the temperature is low now, Zhu Jingyuan is sweating after riding a horse and archery, and his body is already smelly at this moment.
"Sixth brother, please!" Zhu Jinghong helped his brother get on the horse.
However, when the two of them left Shanglin Yuan, Zhu Jingyuan, who was slowly recovering, left first, and looking at Zhu Jinghong was similar to watching the plague god.
"Sixth brother, you had a lot of fun today, let's get together next time!"
Looking at the sedan chair in the distance, Zhu Jinghong shouted loudly, looking like the relationship between brothers was good.
After saying this nonsense, Zhu Jinghong walked towards his sedan chair, surrounded by eunuchs and Jia Yun.
Today, he went to Shanglin Yuan, mainly to personally inspect the newly made guns, and now it seems that there is indeed no fraud in the parameters, and even Jia Yun's report is a little conservative.
got on the sedan chair, Zhu Jinghong lifted the curtain and said to Jia Yun outside: "In the past two days, the saint will come to Shanglin Yuan to observe, you have to be well prepared!" ”
"The villain understands!" Jia Yun replied.
Immediately the curtain was lowered, and Zhu Jinghong left, as for Jia Yun, he returned to Shanglin Yuan again, and he planned to simply live in the workshop for the next two days.
Let's say that Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace and rushed all the way to the palace.
However, when he entered the gate of the dormitory, Zhu Jinghong saw several large boxes, which appeared in the center of the main hall and looked particularly abrupt.
"What's in here, who let you put it here?" Zhu Jinghong looked at the eunuch on duty in the palace.
However, before the eunuch could speak, Baochai's voice came from the side hall: "I asked the box to be placed here!" ”
Zhu Jinghong became more and more puzzled, and secretly said what kind of crazy thing this girl is, how can she put so many things in a good way.
After a few breaths, Baochai appeared from the side hall and said calmly: "I went to the Rui Wang's Mansion, but the concubine didn't come back empty-handed!" ”
After saying this, Baochai's eyes swept to the people on duty in the hall and said, "You all go down!" ”
"Yes!"
After everyone retreated, Zhu Jinghong opened a box, and then was caught by the silver ingots inside.
Immediately after that, he opened the second and third mouthfuls...... There is no doubt that it is full of silver.
The silver ingots were the same size, Zhu Jinghong picked them up and checked them, and it was estimated that they should be at least about ten taels.
Just as he was estimating how many, he only heard Baochai say: "It's 10,000 taels!" ”
"Ten thousand taels? Was it given by the sixth sister-in-law? ”
"I can't have robbed it!" Although he said so, in Baochai's opinion, his behavior was not much different from that of Ming Bao.
"Sixth sister-in-law? She is such a stingy person, so good to give us so much silver? ”
Baochai replied with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, the sixth sister-in-law is angry, and when she saw me frowning, she immediately asked the reason......
Next, Baochai told the story again, and Zhu Jinghong laughed at the end.
"Baochai, you are pressing step by step, letting the sixth sister-in-law pay so much silver, she is afraid that she will be angry!"
"It's not that you said, the two of them always framed you, and now that people are helping you out of anger, are you still doing something wrong?" Baochai said angrily.
Zhu Jinghong hurriedly hugged her into his arms, and then said: "I have never said this, the two of them had better be angry to death, so that the world will be clean!" ”
"Forget it, don't mention them, how should I reward you for your great achievements today?"
"Reward? How dare the concubines ask for any reward, I just hope that the prince will take more care of the relationship between husband and wife, and don't forget the old one if there is a new person! ”
Looking at Baochai's full figure and playful face, Zhu Jinghong suddenly had a bad heart.
So he hugged Baochai horizontally, and said in the latter's exclamation: "Since you say so, then I have to hurt you well!" ”
Knowing what Zhu Jinghong wanted to do, Baochai wanted to push him away, and said: "The prince can't, the blue sky and the white sun ......"
"You and I are husband and wife, aren't you just daylight......"
Zhu Jinghong is the leader, and Baochai's refusal is not only invalid, but also has the effect of adding to the fun.
Yin'an Hall is Zhu Jinghong's bedroom, although he rarely spends the night here, but all the beds are complete.
In a few short steps he came into the house, and although he needed help getting dressed, he was very good at undressing.
Baochai saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he knew that he couldn't escape today, so he could only refuse to welcome it.
The two of them were close to life, but Zhu Jingyuan, who returned to the palace, still felt his ears ringing.
Today, I was really unhappy, so Zhu Jingyuan didn't like anyone, and when he entered the mansion, a small eunuch ran too fast, and he ordered someone to drag him down to be heavily responsible for the twenty boards.
All the way into the study, Zhu Jingyuan was sulking, and when he learned that he was unhappy, Chen Zhi came over.
There was no one to serve in the study, so Chen Zhi came behind her husband and pinched his shoulders very intimately.
Under Zhu Jingyuan's anger, she entered the study in this palace.
"What's going on today?"
"Didn't you say to give a gift, seeing that you were scolded by the old man like this? Could it be that there is something wrong with the book? ”
"It's the old thirteen......"
Zhu Jingyuan's voice was so loud that Chen Zhi was startled.
"What's wrong with Old Thirteen?" Chen Zhi's expression was strange.
"I went to present a book today, and I didn't say a few words to the old man, and this kid broke in and introduced him to what kind of bullshit guns he was looking for!"
"That's good, the old man listened to it for a while, let him get out of the way, let me go, I haven't said a lot to the old man!"
"I said can you be quiet, I'm not deaf...... So loud for fear that others won't hear? Chen Zhi said angrily, and then walked away and stopped pinching Zhu Jingyuan's shoulders.
She didn't know that although Zhu Jingyuan had largely regained his hearing now, he was still somewhat affected by tinnitus, so he spoke so loudly.
"Anyway, today, after the old thirteen and the first thing to stir up, things will all be out of shape!" Zhu Jingyuan relaxed slightly.
"Then your efforts to fix the book will be in vain?" Chen Zhi was also a little worried, after all, repairing books was a first-class major event in the Rui Wangfu.
"Not really, the old man is looking closely, maybe he will call me for questioning in the next two days!"
"That's good!"
After taking a sip of the teacup and feeling a little more relaxed, Zhu Jingyuan asked: "By the way, you prepare in advance, this time the scholars have made meritorious contributions, and each of them will give a thank you gift...... Just one hundred taels per person! ”
The bachelors in Jixian Hall were all selected by Zhu Jingyuan himself, and most of them were scholars who were not obvious.
The so-called family is not obvious, simply speaking, it is a scholar with a land of less than 3,000 mu and an annual income of less than 5,000 taels.
Of course, five thousand taels of silver is not much, but that is for the wealthy and the rich, and at the moment small landlords still occupy the majority, and people like Feng Yuan are the mainstream.
Therefore, for an official of this kind of background, although one hundred taels of silver is not a huge amount of money, it is also a considerable income.
"One hundred taels?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised.
There are more than 100 bachelors in Jixian Hall, and as soon as Zhu Jingyuan opened his mouth, he went out for 10,000 taels of silver, and Chen Zhi naturally felt extremely painful when he heard it.
"What? Do you think it's less? Zhu Jingyuan was a little helpless.
"If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, it cost too much to usher in the delivery, and I would still want to give two hundred taels per person!"
"The bachelors are not high, and everything in the capital is expensive, and now there is no oil and water in the Jixian Pavilion, I should help more!"
"So be it...... Add another fifty taels to each person, and in a few days the money in the house will come in, and then make up the remaining fifty taels! ”
Listening to Zhu Jingyuan talking to himself, Chen Zhi couldn't help but interrupt: "Lord Wang, it's still a hundred taels...... We don't have any money left! ”
"Don't have any money left? Didn't I just enter 10,000 taels a few days ago, plus the silver that Curry already had, there were still 20,000 taels of silver! ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan said with an unhappy face: "You shouldn't be reluctant to give up the silver!" ”
"The 10,000 silver that was put into the warehouse the day before yesterday was borrowed by the thirteen families today!" Chen Zhi said with great shame.
"Thirteen borrowed? They are not short of silver, so why did they come to our house to borrow money! Zhu Jingyuan thought his wife was joking.
"Today, the thirteenth daughter-in-law came and said ......"
Next, Chen Zhi told the banquet again, and only then did Zhu Jingyuan realize that the 10,000 taels of silver were really gone.
"10,000 taels of silver, you will lend it out without consulting me? Are you crazy? ”
"Do you know that our house is not rich, so many places need money, and you also borrow money from people who are not short of money......
"How can I get up with you scumbag......"
Originally, Chen Zhi was still ashamed, but when she heard Zhu Jingyuan say more and more, the more outrageous it became, and her anger suddenly came out.
"What do you mean by the surname Zhu, if you weren't boasting about Haikou, I would have been forced to be so ruthless?"
"Our family has more than 100,000 taels of tribute every year, why is there always a shortage of silver? It's not because you're on the front ......."
"I'm a loser, if you want to talk about losers, I'm not ranked!"
So the husband and wife quarreled in the study, and finally broke up.
After Chen Zhi left, Zhu Jingyuan was so angry that he lifted the desk, but fortunately, all the valuable things were smashed, so he didn't lose much by doing this.
It's just that today, the setbacks in his career, family, finances, and body have made him more painful than the lack of silver.
If the prince knew the current situation of the sixth child, he would definitely be happy to eat two more bowls of rice.
Everybody's got it in this chapter!
