Chapter 51
After several days of intensive preparations, Yue Wangshu finally set off to leave the palace. A horse-drawn carriage with a red roof slowly drove out of the West Palace Gate of the Dayan Palace—from concubines and concubines above the world, the ceremonial carriages were decorated with red roofs, and the carriages were of different lengths and widths. Eight feet, with a couch in the middle, it is also spacious.

In addition to the instrument car, there were four blue carriages behind, which were full of her luggage, Yue Wangshu didn't know that he had so many things.In addition to the gold, silver, jewelry, and satin jewelry given by the emperor, as well as the dowry when entering the palace, as well as daily necessities such as pots, pans, quilts and mattresses, the four carts were full.

Yue Wangshu used to worry about her future livelihood, but now she still has her position, and her salary and expenses in the future will be sent to Huangzhuang by a special car from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"In this way, even if I don't grow ginseng, I won't be short of money to spend in this life..."

By the way, how much is Shuyuan's salary in taels of silver?

I remember when I was a little sixth-grade lady, the annual salary seemed to be 36 taels, which I thought was low at the time, but in fact, it was enough for a middle-class family to spend for a year.

From the third grade of Shuyuan, the salary seems to be ten times that of a lady, and the annual salary is 360 taels, which is considered a huge sum of money.

There were more than a hundred imperial guards and ceremonial guards escorting them, together with the accompanying maids and eunuchs, there was a mighty team, and there was no noise from the market along the way. Yue Wangshu only realized afterwards that this was early Cleared up ahead of time!

The official road paved with cement is very flat—although it is not as flat as the asphalt roads of later generations, it is already many times stronger than the loess road.This carriage also seems to have a shock absorber, so there is almost no bumps along the way.

Depart in the morning and arrive at Rose Ridge Huangzhuang at noon.

It was a manor located at the foot of the mountain, with white walls and black tiles, and the background was the rolling hills full of forests. Yue Wangshu couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy when he looked at it.

The palace is full of luxury, but it is surrounded by high walls on all sides. How can there be such a sea of ​​mountains, rivers and clouds that can't be seen at a glance?
Li Yue, the eunuch of the imperial capital, personally helped her out of the carriage, "The boat and carriage are exhausting, Master Shuyuan has worked hard!"

Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "It's not hard work, but it's hard work. Eunuch Li sent me to Huangzhuang. Oh, yes, Eunuch stays for lunch, and then he can go back and report to the emperor."

The tall and handsome eunuch Li Yue looked even more humble: "Master Rong, the Holy Majesty has appointed slaves to serve you by your side."

Yue Wangshu:? ! !

This is a high-grade eunuch in front of the imperial court!

The emperor said no, so he didn't want it? !

Wait, this is to keep an eye on her, right?Yue Wangshu was thoughtful for a moment, yes, Huangzhuang is no better than a palace, there are many foreigners here.With the petty mind of the sick emperor, how could it be possible not to keep anyone under surveillance?
"Then the rank of the eunuch..." Yue Wangshu thought to himself, is the rank of eunuch still there?
Li Yue said: "Master, please don't worry, the slaves and maidservants are still of the same rank as before, and they are still the imperial servants in name."

It's true, Li Yue is doing something for the emperor.

"That's good."

Li Yue graciously helped Chun Shuyuan into Huangzhuang.

The main hall of Rose Ridge Huangzhuang is only three rooms wide, and the east and west wing rooms are slightly short.There are two old persimmon trees planted outside the hall. Now it is the season, the leaves are withered and yellow, and the persimmons on the trees are full of red and ripe. They look like strings of small lanterns, which are very eye-catching.

The courtyard is paved with stone slabs, so there are no flowers and trees, and it looks a little monotonous, but it is clean and tidy, obviously just cleaned.

In addition, there is about half an acre of land behind the main house, where some vegetables and fruit trees are planted, and it is well maintained after all.

Yue Wangshu circled around before finally entering his main room.The room is spotless, except that the tables, chairs and furniture are only ordinary wood, and they are very old and monotonous. The female eunuch has already placed her bedding, curtains, washbasins, spittoons, makeup mirrors, etc. in a blink of an eye. It adds a lot of color.

Li Yue said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, I will replace the furniture with new ones for you when you turn back, and you can use it for a few days."

Yue Wangshu didn't feel condescending, "It's pretty good here, the furniture is just a bit old, but not broken."

Li Yue hurriedly said: "What is the identity of the master, how can I use these rough things? Don't worry, you are only going out of the palace to avoid illness, and the Holy One will never wrong you."

Yue Wangshu frowned, it seemed that she would never be able to get rid of this identity in her life.

Li Yue thought that Chun Shuyuan was worried about future expenses, so he said: "Although this is already the best place in Huangzhuang in the suburbs, it is far away from the palace after all. The emperor is also worried that you will be wronged, so I deliberately After sending a message, once the land rent is paid in this Huangzhuang, there is no need to pay tribute to the inner court, and it will supplement your household income."

Yue Wangshu: Is this directly giving me all the profits of this Huangzhuang? !
"How many properties are there under the name of Huangzhuang?" Yue Wangshu immediately regained his spirits as it was about his own little money.

Li Yue sneered: "The entire thousand-hectare mountain forest of Rose Ridge, as well as the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain...about a hundred hectares."

One hectare is fifty mu, and one hundred hectares is five thousand mu!

Yue Wangshu couldn't help being amazed, and at the same time couldn't help spitting secretly, they are all emperors, could it be that the kings in the world actually circled Huangzhuang for themselves, and they don't know how many emperors there are in such a Huangzhuang. seat!

"By the way, does this count as my salary?" Yue Wangshu couldn't help asking.

Li Yue laughed, "How could it be? The emperor values ​​his master, who would dare to withhold your salary? Don't worry, I'm sure you won't miss a penny!"

Yue Wangshu secretly thought, then these land rents are extra income for nothing?The emperor is very generous!

"It's the autumn harvest season right now. After a while, it's time to collect the rent. Master, don't worry, the slave is now the eunuch in charge of the Rose Ridge Huangzhuang, and will definitely collect all the rent!"

Yue Wangshu immediately gave Li Yue a white look: "If the harvest is not good, it should be reduced or exempted as appropriate."

"Master Bodhisattva has a heart! The servant understands!" Li Yue hastily promised.

It's getting colder now, it's really not the right time to plant ginseng, everything will have to wait for next spring.

The eunuch Li Yue has been very busy these few days, he dismissed all the servants in Huangzhuang, leaving only the women and male servants, and assigned rough work to Yue Wangshu's eunuchs.

It's like being in a palace, any male creature can't get close at all!

This guy is indeed the emperor's dog leg!

At this moment, Emperor Yan Zheng, who was critiquing papers in Yanqing Palace, suddenly felt his nose itchy again. He rubbed it, and opened Li Yue's secret papers. Now Zi Wangshu has settled down in Rose Ridge Huangzhuang. Even if the house is old and new furniture needs to be added, Yan Zheng did not hesitate to say "Zhu".

The chief eunuch Zhang Ji bowed to ask for instructions: "My lord, this warm pavilion has been tidied up."

Yan Zheng waved his hand: "I don't feel the cold yet, let's talk about it later."—It can be seen that after getting along for a few months, my body is much better than last year.

Unfortunately, Wang Shu is no longer by my side.
