How could Eunuch Wei dare to answer the words? After serving Emperor Taiping for so many years, he understood that the reason why Emperor Taiping said this was not really asking him to give any reference. In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.
Ask him that, that is to say.
Sure enough, after half an hour, Emperor Taiping said: "Go and call Yang Yanfeng."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go now."
When Miaozhen's matter broke out, no matter it was Dalang He Changqi, Mrs. He, or Madam Jing'an, they all agreed to the reconciliation of Dafang and his wife.
The next day, the Jing'an uncle's mansion sent someone to notify the Dingyuanhou's mansion.
The Heli document was also completed at the government office on the same day, and the rest of the procedure was to count the dowry and move out of the uncle's residence.
Zou is the eldest daughter of the second son of Marquis Dingyuan. Although she is a well-known lady from a regular family, Marquis Dingyuan is getting old, and the Marquis House is a big house.
Once the old Marquis Dingyuan passed away and the eldest house took over as the lord, the second house would be separated and lived alone, and the second house would become even weaker at that time.
Now that He Changdi is highly valued by the Holy Majesty and has the title of Marquis of Anyuan in his body, the second house of the Marquis of Dingyuan can no longer be compared with the Mansion of Uncle Jing'an.
Even though Zou's reconciliation, the second room of the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion did not dare to say anything sarcastic, besides, this matter was originally Zou's fault.
Even if Zou's mother wanted to blame her daughter again, she divorced, so what can she say!
In the end, it was the meat that crawled out of his own stomach, Zou's own mother, the second wife of Dingyuanhou's mansion, could only go to Jing'an Bo's mansion to help her daughter count the dowry in person.
Fortunately, my daughter is not so stupid. After so many years, not only is the dowry in hand not less, but it is much more abundant than before.
The Zou family has been in charge for so many years, how could it not be possible to embezzle some of the public property of the Jing'anbo Mansion.
Once the Zou family's dowry was counted, the money in Jing'anbo's treasury and the property of the shop in the hands of the housekeeper were unexpectedly reduced by half!
In the end, Mrs. Zou was taken home by the second wife of Dingyuan Hou with the "full and full" dowry list.
This result was good for everyone in the family, but Mrs. He didn't smile at all.
The Nuan Pavilion in Qingwei Hall.
Mrs. He sat cross-legged on the warm pit. Although it is early spring, the city of Shengjing is still accompanied by coolness. Mrs. He is physically weak, and she cannot do without warmth, so the warm wall of the Qingwei Hall has been going all the way. never broke.
The warm pavilion was as warm as spring, and He Ying took her daughter Pan Nianzhen to sit on the Kang with Mrs. He.
Pan Nianzhen was squatting beside the old matriarch, beating and rubbing her legs, while He Ying was flipping through the account books.
The old lady closed her eyes slightly, sighed comfortably, and opened her eyes after a while, "Sister Zhen's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. It's much more comfortable for you to loosen the bones of my old body."
Pan Nianzhen blinked and smiled shyly, "Grandma, as long as you are in good health, I am willing to serve you like this forever."
The old lady reached out and stroked Pan Nianzhen's soft hair, "Grandmother can't bear to tire you all this time, okay, your hands are sore after pressing me for so long, go and rest next to me, there is something in the kitchen this morning on the little table." The newly made dim sum, you go and try it to suit your taste."
"It's okay, I'll press it for grandma for a while."
Pan Nianzhen's actions and words successfully won the favor of Mrs. He.
He Ying secretly winked at her daughter and praised her for doing well.
The old matriarch was moved in his heart, after all, it was his own daughter and granddaughter, and his heart was always towards him, unlike those daughters-in-law, although they married into the He family, they were still raised in other people's parents.
"Now that I think about it, I really regret that I didn't bring your mother and daughter to the capital earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have delayed Sister Zhen's marriage."
Pan Nianzhen and Chu Lian were in the same age, and they were sixteen after the new year, but they were still not engaged, so it was indeed too late.
He Ying smiled, "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself, as long as you still have our mother and daughter in your heart."
The old lady stared at her pretending to blame, "You girl, you are so old, what are you talking about! You are the meat that fell from my body, how can a mother not remember you."
He Ying laughed, and a glint of success flashed in her eyes when she lowered her head.
After a while, He Ying frowned and handed the account book to Mrs. He, "Mother, take a look at this account."
Mrs. He is not energetic, and her body is not as good as before. Although the power of the family is in her hands, she has not really taken care of it. He Ying was in charge of the account books.
Her eyes have become presbyopic in the past two years, and she can hardly see the account books clearly.
"What's the matter?" The old matriarch took the account book and carried it far away, and it took a lot of effort to see the writing on it clearly.
Seeing this, he immediately widened his eyes in shock, "This Mrs. Zou! I shouldn't have let her be the head of the family!"
The account books handed in by the accountant in the house, the bank deposits and land deed real estate in the house are actually reduced by half!
This is half of the family property of the Jing'anbo Mansion!
Because the Zou family is not good at management, Mrs. He has posted a lot of private property in the public office these years, and now, Mrs. He's private property is very little left.
Now even if she wants to subsidize, she doesn't have so much private property to subsidize.
In such a huge uncle's mansion, money is used everywhere. He Erlang is not yet married, and now his daughter and granddaughter are by his side. For a while, Mrs. He is very worried.
In the past, the water on the surface was still calm, but when this layer of calm skin was mercilessly peeled off, it was found that there were potholes everywhere inside, but now it had to be faced.
He Ying was also very shocked. If she hadn't read the accounts herself, she wouldn't have known that the seemingly glamorous uncle's mansion was actually in a serious deficit, and the public accounts were already unable to make ends meet...
"Mother, what should I do now?" The eldest aunt, He Ying, can't change the money. Although she has some property, she never thought of giving it to the Jing'anbo Mansion for emergency.
Mrs. He is really a headache. When she was young, she managed her family well and was good at business. She saved a lot of private property and never worried about money. These yellow and white things are nerve-wracking.
It's pathetic.
The originally lively and harmonious atmosphere in the warm pavilion suddenly fell into silence.
Whether it was the arrogant He Ying, the weak and timid Pan Nianzhen, or He's confidant Madam Liu, there was nothing to say. All of them lowered their heads and pursed their lips in silence.
Mrs. He was also heartbroken, because she couldn't think of a way at this time.
This silver is really a thing, when there is too much, you don't feel it, but if it is too little, it makes people struggle.
"What can you do?" Mrs. He went to the doctor in a hurry, and unexpectedly asked about a few big maids who were waiting on the side in the warm pavilion.
Mu Xiang originally stood quietly by the side, she remained silent like a non-existent statue.
At this time, Mrs. He looked at her with expectant old eyes, and her face became soft and docile. After thinking for a while, she said: "Mr. ?”
Originally, it was only intended to expropriate the money earned from Gui Linju's account. After all, Gui Linju was the one who gave it out in person, but from time to time, there is a shortage of money in Jing'anbo's mansion, and the old lady's private treasury has shrunk. , How can I take care of so much.
At that time, it was for Sanfang's consideration, it was because Sanfang was weak and Chu Lian liked her quite a lot, but now all this has changed.
Not to mention that He Sanlang received great rewards for being a knight, that is, Chu Lian has a good relationship with Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia, and the good things sent by the palace every season are "innumerable".
A Gui Linju may not be a big deal in the eyes of their third house now, but in the public account, it can provide flowers for the entire Jing'anbo Mansion.
In the end, the old lady was persuaded.
She nodded, "Okay, it's a very important time, so let's do it this way. Sanlang's wife is not unreasonable. When they come to pay their respects in the evening, I will make it clear to Sanlang's wife."
Mu Xiang nodded and took a step back. At this time, no one noticed her weird expression.
In fact, no matter how bad the business of the outside shop in Jing’anbo’s mansion is, logically it would not be short of money so quickly. Mrs. Zou was greedy for some money and pasted it in his private house, but it was not much, and it was not enough. The finances of the entire Jing'anbo Mansion are tight.
The reason why the silver will be reduced so quickly is that Muxiang played an indispensable role in it.
Some time ago, Mrs. He entrusted the account book and other things to her for safekeeping.
Auntie He Ying was overjoyed, that day she accidentally approached the small study where Mu Xiang handles the account books, and saw Gui Linju's accounts, at that time, she was thinking about it.
As long as Old Madam He can bring Gui Linju back this time, then she will have a way to coax Old Madam He to hand over Gui Linju to her.
At that time, she would loosen her hands a little, and she could leave a few thousand taels of silver for herself with any leak between her fingers.
Thinking of this, He Ying couldn't help showing greed in her eyes.
You know, when she got married, the dowry dowry money was only 10,000 taels.
In fact, this is already a large amount of money. As long as it is managed properly, she will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But sometimes people are always greedy. When she knew that Gui Linju's monthly profit was several thousand taels of silver, her heart became too big and she couldn't shrink back.
Nanny Liu, who was waiting on the sidelines, did not expect that the last few people would think of such a method of drinking poison to quench thirst. She wanted to remind her, but the old matriarch had already made a decision, and she said it at this time is nothing more than to find someone to hate.
Nanny Liu cast a displeased glance at Mu Xiang who came up with a bad idea.
She frowned slightly, she didn't know why, these days she always felt that there was something wrong with Mu Xiang, but after careful observation, she couldn't find any clues.
Nanny Liu sighed in her heart, and decided to find a chance to have a good talk with Mu Xiang.
He Changdi and He Changqi finished their housework early this morning, went back to Songtao Garden and went out.
Because his official position is the military selection officer, even if he has not officially taken over, there are still many things to be taken over gradually. Even though it is during the holiday of the emperor's amnesty, he still needs to spare some time to busy with official duties.
(He Sanlang's title has been changed to Marquis of Anyuan~)
