The father and daughter talked for a long time before they separated. Zhao Chunxi walked back full of thoughts, and suddenly saw a lot of craftsmen from the west end, who were measuring the width with soft rulers and other objects, and used white lime to remove the need to be dismantled. The fallen flower beds, rockeries and gardens are marked one by one, and it seems that construction will start soon. A few stewards from the west end stood aside to supervise the map drawn by the wife, and could vaguely hear words such as "hurry up, don't delay, add more money", which shows how urgent they are to get rid of the Ye family's thoughts.
"Miss, are you really going to separate the manor?" He Xiang and Xue Liumu stared blankly for a while, their faces filled with daze, and their hearts felt even more terrified.
"Guan... What did my mother say ever fail?" Zhao Chunxi stared into the distance, and his tone was subdued, "The action is so fast, even the map is drawn, the craftsman only needs to follow the map to build, the fast is one month, the slow is two months, This fence can be built. She said that she was just a temporary idea, do you believe it? Hexiang, you are right, we just took one step, and she has finished all the ninety-nine steps. My grandfather, Ye family, father, Even the scene where Wang Shu and I had to live together with others, she was afraid that she had anticipated it, and then tore it up first, and really didn't touch the dust at all, but she took all the good reputation. Look at my father , grandmother, second aunt, which one doesn't admire her and trust her? She has just come to the Hou's residence for half a month, and she has made this place her own hall. Whether you want it or not, you have to be led by her. Walking on the nose, in the end, you have to be grateful to Dade."
He Xiang and Xue Liu lowered their heads and dared not talk to each other, but they also had a deep fear of Madam in their hearts.
"I accept it, but I can't accept it!" Zhao Chunxi smiled miserably, "If something happens to daddy, Wang Shu and I will have to rely on her to live in the future, and if we fight against her, it won't do any good at all. In fact, I myself have forgotten why in the first place. To target her, it's really a wrong step, step by step." Of course, it was for her mother's sake, but looking at it now, she felt that it was not worth it.
"Miss, you're right to think so." He Xiang carefully pointed out, "Don't think that Madam's method is just to divide the east and west houses, break down the east house, and preserve the west house. In fact, there are many doorways. I don't know. She took into account the people's hearts of the two houses, and she would be righteous if she followed her. Master. If she wants to deal with you, she doesn't need to set foot in the East Mansion, and there are countless people who plan for her. If her arms can't break her thighs, you can, just admit it for the time being."
"Yes, why don't you admit it?" Zhao Chunxi shook his head and sighed, "You first-class maids are the most useful people around me, and your monthly silver is paid from my account, so you don't have to worry about it in the future. Let's go, go back have a look."
He Xiang and Xue Liu let out a long sigh of relief, but they also understood that the more the eldest lady was like this, the more she would be fooled by the lady. Carrying a few big maids will only make the people below them even more unwilling and eager to move. But they also have to live, so they don't mention it.
Zhao Chunxi said in a big way, but his heart was actually bleeding. Her life has always been extravagant, and the monthly cost of 80 taels is still counted as the minimum limit for Guan Suyi. In fact, she only buys jewelry, and the monthly expenses are more than 1,000 taels. The monthly silver can never be saved, and she has to find Dad subsidizes, so there is not much money left in the account.
It is enough to support three or five months, let alone wait until two or three years to get married? At that time, don't talk about the people below, I am afraid that even the confidants will not be able to keep. The human heart is really unpredictable, and the human heart is even more sinister. She feels extremely tired and at a loss, and she can't help but feel timid at how she can easily count so many people in customs clearance.
The three masters and servants returned to Penglai Garden unhappily, and they heard the noise inside, and there was a lot of uproar. Several cousins were arguing about who should live in the spacious room, so they almost started to fight. The servant Yueyin served was reduced to 30% of the original, and the food, clothing, housing, and transportation were not as good as before. Naturally, he hated the Ye family who were dove occupying the magpie's nest. Watching the play next to him, his face is full of schadenfreude smiles.
Zhao Chunxi's forehead jumped, and she immediately ran to mediate. A certain cousin scratched her neck accidentally, leaving a bloodstain. The quarrel finally subsided for a while, and then she pushed open the door exhausted. She saw the third aunt, Ye Fan, and the three daughters of the Ye family sitting in the room drinking tea. All look familiar.
"Oh, why did you open the young lady's makeup?" He Xiang shouted while holding the empty brocade box.
"We sit and have nothing to do, and borrow something from my sister to play and play. What are you shouting, let alone these shoddy things, we have also seen the nine-headed phoenix hairpin, why would you ever be greedy for such a small price? Give it to , I'll give it all back to you, I'm really shallow! My aunt is still Jieyu, and if she's still here for a day, my Ye family won't really collapse, you wait for me!" The eldest cousin, Ye Fu, immediately shook her head. On his face, he brushed off a pile of accessories at hand, pearls and emeralds splashed around, and a few bracelets were shattered, which made Zhao Chunxi's eyes hurt even more.
Back then, she admired the big cousin's gallantry the most, and she didn't even look at anything precious. A huge Dongzhu was crushed when she said it was crushed, and she drank it as pearl powder. However, if this arrogance is placed on her and her things are abused, she will know how hateful this person is.
She was so angry that her chest hurt, and if she opened her mouth to speak immediately, she would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood. However, before she could be wronged, the other two cousins were wronged, holding the handkerchief, wiping the corners of their eyes, and sobbing, "Sister, please stop, after all, our family is different now, and the younger sister is more contemptuous and vigilant? It should be, who made us down and hurt her? Not to mention just looking at her things, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the main hall in the future. Let's go to the uncle to say goodbye, it's better to stay far away, so as not to spoil the quality Love of the day."
Wow, use daddy to press me! Pretending to be innocent, to be pitiful, and to sue for blackness, you are really bringing in wolves! Zhao Chunxi not only felt distressed, but his internal organs were hurting, his stomach was burning like a fire, and his whole body was about to explode. She finally understood how Guan Suyi felt when she faced herself with frequent means. Although she could easily kill someone, she still felt disgusted.
"Several sisters just didn't listen to my father? In other people's houses, you have to follow the rules of other people's houses, otherwise you will report to the officials if you lose property in any yard. Hexiang, count your jewelry and see if you are missing anything. ." She gritted her teeth.
He Xiang just responded, and before she could pick up the things on the ground, several young ladies all bid farewell and left in a hurry.
Ye Fan stayed at the end, touched the wound on his niece's neck with a handkerchief, and said worriedly, "Who hurt you? Those hoofs are still so rampant, I will ask my aunt to teach them the rules later. "Xue Liu, quickly bring some medicine for your master, and I'll put it on for her."
Zhao Chunxi finally felt a little more comfortable, and sat opposite the third aunt, her eyes were red, she never expected that the atmosphere had just eased, and the other end asked, "Is there anything wrong with your father? Can my marriage with him happen? His title... "
I thought that I would be able to marry into the Hou Mansion and become a concubine with a face that is more than the wife of the head, but because of a coral tree, all my dreams were shattered. This is not over yet, the uncle first thought behind closed doors, and then he was taken to the Heavenly Prison. However, he was afraid of the crime in one day, and the Ye Mansion, which was originally decorated with flowers and cooked with fire, was burned to ashes. All kinds of changes happened too quickly and too quickly, and they didn't give Ye Fan any time to react. When she turned back suddenly, there was no way out behind her, and there was only darkness in front of her.
If Zhao Luli can safely avoid this disaster and keep the title, that is the best, if not, she has to think about it. After all, Ye Jieyu is still there, as long as she doesn't collapse, the Ye family will not really be finished.
How could Zhao Chunxi not guess these thoughts of hers? Not only is he worthless for his father, but he also thinks it is ridiculous to rely on a foreign family, and he even looks down on the ghostly thoughts of his third aunt.
"If something happens to Daddy, what should you do?" She threw the question back.
The room fell into silence, and after a while, Ye Fan said with a light smile, "If anything happens to your father, I will accompany him to tide over the difficulties."
"Auntie, you are so kind." Zhao Chunxi firmly suppressed her hand on the table, and said in a meaningful way, "Remember what you said today. , he must be very moved when he heard it."
"What is touching or not touching, I have already set a wedding date with Lord Hou, and we are his, and we should be of one mind and one morality with him." Ye Fan smiled softly on his face. .
However, Zhao Chunxi made up his mind to press her down. Since the Hou Mansion was implicated by the Ye family, it would be bad luck for everyone, and everyone would die together.

Not only are the Ye and Zhao families in harmony on the surface, but they are pinching each other on the inside, but there are also dark tides in the courtroom, and the battle for the front is constant. The next day, Emperor Shengyuan once again convened his ministers to discuss the revision of the law. The farther back, the wider the tentacles of the reform, gradually involving taxation, military power, land, etc., seriously damaging the interests of the great family.
As the representative of the aristocratic family, Prime Minister Wang's family naturally opposed it fiercely.
Today, seeing the emperor's proposal to change the "land occupation system" to "equal land system", he slapped the table and said angrily, "The emperor has little reading and does not understand a lot of things, so it is best not to talk nonsense. Since the implementation of the land occupation system, a lot of land has been reclaimed, and farmers have to pay The tax is also light. If the land is equalized and the tax is collected according to the population, now the war has just passed, the labor force has dropped sharply, and the climate is changing, and the harvest is not good, which commoner can afford it? Awarded to an illiterate businessman, it shows that he is very unfamiliar with the management of the people's livelihood, and it is handed over to us full-time subordinates to do it, you should learn it slowly, and discuss it when you get started."
Emperor Sheng Yuan was irritated by his disrespectful attitude, and was about to stand up against the table, but Prime Minister Wang flung his sleeves and left first, and all the subordinate officials also said goodbye.
"Fuck your mother's Langya king! One day I will kill you!" Emperor Shengyuan couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his hand and brushed off the memorials and other items on the imperial case, but unexpectedly set off an inkstone and splashed the emperor's teacher all over his body. Ink dots.
When he caught a glimpse of the emperor's honest eyes, his arrogance disappeared, and he extended his big palm to wipe it for him, while sincerely apologizing.
The old man Guan said slowly, "The prime minister is right, it is indeed inappropriate that the emperor can even award the post of Taishi Ling to Ye Quanyong."
