Chapter 396: Sunny Chapter
Hongrui looks very laid-back at this time. I often walk in the deep-walled compound. Occasionally, the queen would call Hongrui and Qingwen to go over tea and chat.
Compared with Hongrui, the queen prefers Qingwen's gentleness. often pulls Qingwen to chat, which is related to Hongrui's indifference and loneliness.
Of course, Queen Ye's treatment of the two daughters is the same.
Qingwen is also quieter than Hongrui, just staying quietly in her courtyard.
In the Yihong Courtyard in Nanzhan Zhou, Qingwen likes to take it quietly in the room. For those who are not of my race will have different hearts. As a human race in Nanzhan Zhou, the biggest thing she learned was to be cautious. In the Ye Mansion, cautious behavior has become instinctive.
But it was this instinct that gave her a life that was safer than it was rash.
There are many trees and flowers in this house, and birds can be seen chirping in many places. It has a refreshing and clean atmosphere.
In particular, the courtyard of Qingwen is full of flowers and plants, and the trees are shady.
The temple where she lived was lit with incense all around the perimeter so that mosquitoes did not dare to approach it, and she lived in the room and could feel the coolness of her surroundings while lying on her bed. Moreover, the incense in the temple is replaced on time by a special person. And she just needs to move in safely.
After living in Ye Mansion for a while, Qingwen's heart was full of uneasiness about this life. She hadn't enjoyed this laid-back life since she could remember. This luxury and comfort made her feel fearful. None of this was earned by her efforts, as if everything was a gift from heaven.
When Qingwen is fine, she will observe the living conditions of the Ye family's maids.
For maids, all the supplies of the Ye Mansion are very abundant. As a result, Qingwen thought about what the Ye family's economic source was.
It is probably the insecurity in her heart that makes Qingwen have an unusually different attachment to her.
Finally, Qingwen couldn't help but ask the woman who was cleaning the palace.
The woman's name is Chunlan. He was adopted in the Ye family's mansion since he was a child. For the Ye family's affairs. It's also a little bit of understanding.
In the Zixiao Pavilion, Qingwen sat on the couch and beckoned, "Sister, how long have you been here?" ”
Chunlan smiled. "Miss, I've been here for almost eighteen years. ”
Qingwen said in amazement: "You are so good-looking. If you go out one day, I don't know how many men will fall for you. ”
Chunlan smiled shyly: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, if you are heard, you will be laughed at." However, the woman who went out of our Ye family is indeed not worried about getting married. ”
Qingwen narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Sister, you should have saved a lot of money in the past few years." It's time to go out. It is estimated that you can also worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. ”
The little maid waved her hand. "No, no, no. Although the Ye family's salary is generous, the daily expenses are also large. ”
Qingwen was surprised: "Isn't there food and accommodation here, how can there be expenses?"
"It's food and shelter, but we have to spend our own money to buy rouge gouache and daily necessities from the housekeeper of this Ye Mansion. We couldn't get out of Yefu until we were twenty-eight years old, and the vendors outside couldn't get in, so we had to ask a housekeeper to bring us in from outside. I also have to pay for the housekeeper's errands. As a housekeeper in this Ye Mansion, you can buy a small house in a remote part of Kyoto in a year. Chunlan gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Obviously, he has a gritted hatred for the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion.
Qingwen also followed Chunlan's words and said angrily: "Doesn't the Ye family know about such an act?
Chunlan shook her head. "Miss, you are the young lady of a big family, close to the little boy, you don't know the suffering of our subordinates, the housekeeper can be in the position of the housekeeper, naturally it is related to other managers, we are just a miscellaneous subordinate, what can we resist? It's not that no sister has reported it before, but in the end, the sister was swept out of Yefu. We still have to live. ”
Qing Wen slapped the table angrily. "Too much deception!"
Chunlan smiled. "Miss, you're a newcomer, don't get excited. Although this Ye Mansion is a little worse in some aspects, it is very good for us. A lot of living allowances are still very generous. Especially if you don't work much, you don't get tired. ”
"Then how did Ye Mansion get such a big expense?" Qing Wen finally asked what she wanted to ask.
"There is land, the first generation of the Ye family master, followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, unified the Great Chu, and then because of his great military achievements, he was given thousands of acres of fertile land, and then the successive generations of Ye family heads have military power, and every time they have military exploits, they will reward a lot of treasures. Taxes on fiefdoms, rents. Rewards and so on are income. The people who live in this Ye Mansion are nothing. What really consumes resources is the Ye family's trump card army, the Futu Iron Armor Army. ”
Chunlan's little eyes were shining and hopeful. "The young people who can enter the Futu Iron Armor Army are very tall and handsome, and the future is promising, if you can marry them, it must be a happy thing. ”
Qingwen's eyebrows furrowed. Like a white lotus flower, silk lines appeared on the petals. Puzzled: "No matter how powerful this Futu Ironclad Army is, it is only a soldier." Although it looks promising, being a soldier is also a high-risk profession... Speaking of which, Qingwen didn't continue.
Chunlan still looked like a nymphomaniac, and said incoherently excitedly. "No! Futu Ironclad Army, as the elite of the Ye family, rarely died on the battlefield, and the most powerful record was to defeat the enemy's thirteen cities. There is no army to fight against it. Legend has it that as long as the Chu State dispatched the Futu Iron Armor Army, then the battle would be won. ”
The little girl was full of admiration for the Futu Iron Armor Army, so much so that she consciously resisted the slander of the Futu Iron Armor Army in her heart.
At the same time, the salaries of the sergeants of the Futu Iron Armor Army are very high, one year's salary is worth three years for ordinary people, and the soldiers who serve in it are also allocated ten acres of fertile land after being disarmed and returned to the field. It's also much more comfortable than the average person. ”
Qingwen nodded. This girl's heart is full of insight into the world of human feelings. She consciously felt the strength of the Ye family, but she also had a keen insight into the possible potential crisis of the Ye family.
Since ancient times, the truth has been seen from a small age. In the Qinglou of Nanzhan Zhou, the reddest head card is the existence that is secretly targeted by many women.
This Ye Mansion is so powerful, it is difficult to ensure that there are no jealous people.
However, this conjecture was not spoken.
She savored the tea in her hand and watched the rustling wind in the bamboo forest outside the house. The chirping of birds, the girl in the refreshing bamboo house sitting on the couch with a teacup in her hand, the wooden table in front of her, and the low eyebrows of the maid next to her are pleasing to the eye, like a beautiful ancient style painting.
"Live, live, begot, live. The rest doesn't seem to be very important. Did you say yes?" said Haruhin' laugh.
Chunlan held her chin and smiled: "Probably, that's the reason." But you have to pursue something in life, don't you?"
"And what are you after?"
"Me. I want to be rich. Chunlan smiled, a simple girl, a simple wish. "Miss, what about you?"
Qingwen tilted her head and thought for a moment. Until the tea in the cup is cold. She didn't figure out what she wanted to pursue. But in the end, she said something.
"I also want to be rich. "I guess there's a lot of options with it.
