Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 163
As for the right to manage business, money, and family expenses, Yingchun thought about it carefully, and she really didn't have the ability and confidence to manage it.

Besides, the expenses of my own house are under my own control, and I have an extra 100 taels of private house money every month, so the treatment can be comparable to that of Jiamu.

Yingchun got excited and called out to the outer room.

But in his heart, Yingchun still hopes that Siqi can be forgiven by Shi Zhongkui.

It's a pity that only blushing amber and pearl came in.

Yingchun asked suspiciously, "Where is Siqi?"

"Ma'am, Miss Chess must have been too busy today, so she relaxed and fell asleep on the couch in the side room."

Yingchun's heart sank, and she secretly thought that when she was at home, she really indulged playing chess too much.

But in that kind of environment, if you are not careful and keep aloof from the world, it might be even more difficult.

On the other hand, Shi Zhongkui was guessing that he and his cousin had already met each other's eyes, so Siqi was unwilling to come in.

Seeing Shi Zhongkui frowning, Yingchun hurriedly ordered, "Master wants to take a bath, let someone prepare it."

After speaking, he glanced at Shi Zhongkui, seeing that he hadn't been staring at Amber and Pearl, his mood suddenly improved.

Smiling, she said to Hu Po and Pearl, "You serve the master to take a bath, and then serve the master to go to the main house to rest."

Amber and Pearl heard that this was to let the two of them complete the task that the mistress had not completed.

Nodding with a blushing face, Shi Zhongkui sat up from the bed.

Looking at Shi Zhongkui's bulging pectoral muscles and eight-pack abs, Hu Po and Pearl's blushes were almost dripping, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look for clothes to help him put on.

Half an hour later, after Shi Zhongkui finished his bath, he followed Hu Po and Pearl in his normal clothes and returned to the main house.

Baochai's maid hurriedly ran into the house, and stood by the partition of the moon gate outside the inner room to report, "Madam, the master has returned to the main house, but the two maidservants of the second wife followed the master into the main house."

Baochai, who had been suppressing her sleepiness, couldn't help looking at Xiangling who was beside her after hearing this.

But found that the girl was already soundly asleep.

Can't help but shake her head discouragedly at Ying'er who has already sat up.

But Shi Zhongkui can go back to the main house to sleep, and Baochai feels that it is important for him to keep the promise.

He said to the maid outside, "Understood, you all come in and put out the red candles, and you all go to rest."

The maids outside the house, look at you, look at me, they can only enter the inner room with regret and discouragement, use a special copper cover, and extinguish the candles.

Then he murmured in his heart that the master actually went into the bridal chamber without extinguishing the candles, which is absurd to say the least.

But when I think of the master who is young, handsome, and the only Duke Liu Yuan in the world, I feel that the master is a real celebrity.

Those rascals out there aren't even fit to carry the master's shoes.

After washing honestly, he went back to the side room of the wing room and the ear room next to the wing room to sleep.

Not long after, I probably saw that the candles on Baochai's side were extinguished, and the candles on Yingchun's side were also extinguished.

Only the left and right side rooms and the porch of the main house are still lit with six all-copper lanterns for night lights.

Shi Zhongkui regretted lying on his bed.

He shouldn't have let amber and pearls warm his bed just now, and now his nose is full of faint fragrance.

In addition, the two daughters-in-law were able to disarm themselves, and the fire in their hearts became even stronger.

As for Amber and Pearl, they also couldn't sleep when they were lying on the bed in the hall off the master bedroom.

"Sister Amber, does the master dislike our birth?"

Hu Po shook her head, the status of filling the house is not as good as that of a concubine, at least a concubine can sit in a sedan chair once and be carried into the house.

And there will be a meal at home, a simple celebration.

If you really don't like it, when you and Pearl just served Shi Zhongkui to take a bath, the master wouldn't touch him.

Thinking of Shi Zhongkui's hands on her, Hu Po suddenly felt hot all over.

To be honest, at first Amber was unwilling to come here with Yingchun as a dowry.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Shi Zhongkui, but because he knows Yingchun's character, he cannot beat Baochai.

This master is unable to protect the people below, life must be difficult.

Maybe even be driven away, or die for no apparent reason.

It can be seen that after seeing Shi Zhongkui, let alone let Hu Po go back to Jia's house at this time, it is no problem to let her go to Shi Zhongkui's bed now.

"Okay, today is the grand wedding day of the master and his two wives, if the master can resist accepting us, it's because the master knows the etiquette and keeps the etiquette, and it's actually our luck.

From now on, as long as we keep our duty with peace of mind, the master and wife will naturally treat us kindly. "

Pearl, who was hesitant in her heart, thought for a while, nodded happily, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

Unknowingly, the sound of cock crowing came from every house.

In ancient times, there were no clocks, so the crowing of the rooster always prevailed when getting up.

However, the capital city has a population of over one million, and the roosters in every household will crow when they hear other roosters crowing.

Shi Zhongkui, who has been taking care of himself for two years, opened his eyes when he heard the cock crowing.

Sitting up, he took out the fine steel long sword that Xue Pan gave him from the space, and wanted to practice the art of magic under the guise of practicing swords as before.

But as soon as he stood up, he realized that he had already married two wives.

And there are 4 beautiful girls who are waiting to be his concubines.

There are also a dozen or so beauties and little girls, looking forward to accepting them.

Smiling and shaking his head, he put on an indigo robe, tied his hair casually with a ribbon, and left his room with a sword.

He was not in a hurry to practice martial arts, but first went to a two-story house between the backyard and the middle courtyard, which was used as a warehouse.

Put all the silver and gold that have been stored in the space in the past two years in the warehouse.

Because there is space, Shi Zhongkui has never liked to keep large bank notes in units of ten thousand.

Besides, the bank note is just paper. If there is a problem with the bank account that issued the ticket, you will lose all your money immediately.

18 taels of silver, placed on a solid wooden shelf in the warehouse, was illuminated by the weak light, and suddenly it felt like the whole warehouse was glowing with silver light.

After thinking about it, he put the 5000 taels of gold ingots that Xue Pan and Jia Lian had sent for the Eight Treasures on the wooden shelf.

From ancient times to the present, what can give women a sense of security is money.

Moreover, women who are not short of money at home will not have an inexplicable desire for money like wives who come from poverty.

Of course, this is not guaranteed, but it will be much better anyway.

At the same time, if the family is rich, Yingchun will be able to raise her head in her natal family in the future.

As for Baochai, Shi Zhongkui was not worried at all.

Xue Pan cared very much about his sister, and when he was at home, Baochai was the only one who could persuade him.

There are only about 1 taels of silver, 2000 taels of gold ingots, 7 or 8 gold melon seeds weighing one penny, and hundreds of silver melon seeds in my space.

Then from a basket in the warehouse, hundreds of copper coins were collected into the space.

With a thought, the copper coin quickly began to deform. Based on the video I watched in my memory, I built a copper padlock weighing two catties, with two lock cylinders, and with a rotating combination.

Compared with the current copper lock, this thing is black technology.

Then a new copper buckle was made again, nailed to the warehouse door, replaced with a new alloy chain, and a copper lock was hung.

Don't try to open the door unless someone hits it with a ram.

Two keys were placed in the space, and the other two were hung on his waist before returning to the backyard.

After he had practiced the sword for a while and the sky was slightly bright, a little girl came out of Baochai's room yawning.

When he saw someone wielding a long sword in the yard, he immediately cried out in fright.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care about him, and after a while, several servant girls came out of the room where the little maids lived in the side room and next to the room.

At this time, the maid who screamed just now has recognized Shi Zhongkui.

After the maids who came out also recognized him, they blushed and hurried back to the wing to urge the big maids to help Baochai and Yingchun to wash and dress quickly.

If it were a family with parents-in-law, Baochai and Yingchun would have to be punished today.

Not long after, Hu Po, Pearl, and Ying'er were busy carrying basins, sweat towels, and tea bowls, and stood in the yard, not far from Shi Zhongkui, waiting.

Although Shi Zhongkui was still practicing his sword, his eyes followed the movements of his body, and he could clearly see every move in the courtyard.

He didn't stop until he saw Baochai and Yingchun walking out with small steps supported by others.

Throwing the long sword into the sky casually, under the surprised gazes of all the maids and wives, it was accurately put into the scabbard on the weapon rack.

But what Shi Zhongkui didn't expect was that although his two wives were surprised and thought he was really good, they were more worried and uneasy.

But Baochai and Yingchun didn't dare to embarrass Shi Zhongkui in front of the maids.

Besides, they got up later than her husband, Baochai and Yingchun knew that they had no confidence to persuade Shi Zhongkui at this time.

Shi Zhongkui, who still didn't know that he failed to be handsome, walked up to Hu Po, Pearl, Ying'er and Xiang Ling, reached into the sink to wash his hands, picked up a sweat towel to wipe off, and took a sip from his tea bowl.

Then he said, "Help the two ladies to the main hall, and let someone inform the kitchen outside the garden in the backyard. From now on, all meals will be in the backyard.

Moreover, the treatment of the two wives should not be worse than that of the heads of the Xue family and the Jia family. "

The treatment is not lower than that of Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, which costs a lot, but the four of Yinger are only happy.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care about spending thousands of taels of silver every year on the food and clothing of his two wives, "If you don't understand, then send someone over to ask the two wives, or ask the Xue family and the Jia family.

In short, a wife must have the dignity of a wife. "

Hu Po, Pearl, and Ying'er looked happy, and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, master."

Others also cheered up.

Shi Zhongkui entered the main hall and naturally sat in the master's seat.

But there was only one seat next to it, and Baochai and Yingchun who followed in didn't know where to sit.

Only then did Shi Zhongkui come to his senses, pointing to the chairs on the left and right, which were used to receive guests, and said, "Sit down, I was the only one in the past, so why is it so comfortable in this backyard.

Later, you sisters discussed, you can change whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about money for what you want to buy.

In short, you are my wives, although there is no distinction between big and small, but left and right.However, the daily treatment is the same, and there are also a lot of respectable husbands.

And from now on, all the family affairs will be left to you to take care of. "

Baochai and Yingchun looked at each other, although they were treated the same regardless of size.

But now that the left and right are divided, it is natural to start with Baochai as the head.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, which means he affirmed the authority of the two of them.

In the future, the concubines will not dare to make trouble.

The two saluted together, "Yes, Mr. Xiang."

Only then did Shi Zhongkui nod in satisfaction, and after the two wives were supported and sat down, he clarified the treatment and duties of the maids and maids.

Hearing that money, food, lodging and clothing are all compared to Rongguo Mansion, the maids and maids are also relieved.

But Yingchun became a little worried. The Rongguo Mansion spends so much money every year. If her husband wants to save face, he will be in trouble in the future.

Baochai was not worried at all.

For the item of Guangxi Honghua, there are 2.7 taels of silver every year, not to mention that Shi Zhongkui has made money several times, and Xue Pan has participated in it.

Calculating carefully, the sales of peach trees, restaurants and giant logs used to build provincial homes cost at least more than 12 taels.

Not long after, Yu Shun brought the back kitchen, the male servants in the front yard, and the eldest maid among the maids sent by Xue's family to the back.

Shi Zhongkui picked out some of the promises he made with Baochai and Yingchun last night, and repeated them again.

The rules of the family were formalized.

Yu Shun and the others also understood that from now on, the two wives will take care of all the affairs of the family.

And one is in charge of money expenditure and income, and the other is in charge of accounts.

That is to say, Baochai is still the main one.

But since Yingchun is in charge of the accounts, she has the right to intervene in all matters related to money.

Even to a certain extent, the power of Yingchun is greater than that of Baochai.

As for whether the two wives will have conflicts in the future, it all depends on whether Shi Zhongkui can treat them equally.

Although Shi Zhongkui is confident, he also understands that even close sisters will have conflicts, let alone Baochai and Yingchun have these maids and natal families around them.

It would be nice to be able to maintain the back house and not drag each other down.

And he was already waiting for someone to do something, and took the opportunity to let Baochai, Yingchun and the servant girls understand his bottom line.

Then Shi Zhongkui smiled and said to Yingchun, "Ma'am, the treatment of Yu Shun and others should be compared with that of Rongguo Mansion.

In order to avoid the difference in treatment between the front yard and the back yard, it will lose people's hearts. "

Yingchun hurriedly stood up, "Yes, my husband, the concubine will discuss it with Sister Baochai later."

Yu Shun and the others were immediately overjoyed. With the family background of Rongguo Mansion, the treatment can definitely be regarded as the top of the capital.

Kneeling on the ground, he thanked Shi Zhongkui first, and then formally saluted Baochai and Yingchun.

But what Yu Shun never imagined was that Baochai and Yingchun would keep staring at him.

In order not to appear like Lai Da and Lai Er, who treat the masters of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion as fools, and make money as they want.

"Shi Zhongkui said to Baochai again, "From now on, I will leave all business matters to you as a husband. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me again.

If brother Pan and second brother Lian don't cooperate, I will stand up for you as my husband.

It is still very easy to find an excuse to beat them with a killing stick. "

"Xianggong", Baochai immediately blushed, "Big brother and Lian's second brother are close relatives, so they won't lie to my concubine."

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, "That's not necessarily true."

Baochai and Yingchun's hearts tightened at the same time.
