In the study of Huai'an Marquis Mansion, the young servant respectfully put the 200 taels of silver notes that the sisters of the Ji family gave to Hong Peiju respectfully on the table.

After Hong Peiju looked at it, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she waved her hand to let the servant back down.

Liu Baosheng, one of Hong Peiju's confidantes, said indignantly,
"The sisters of the Ji family are too ignorant. Their sisters eat and live in the Hou's mansion. They worry about them all day long. The whole of the Hou's mansion takes care of them, but they are so stingy. Only give Hou Ye 200 taels a month. Isn't this contemptuous?"

Because the Ji family sisters live in Huai'an Hou Mansion by order, the House of Internal Affairs will allocate 5000 taels of silver to the Ji family sisters every month.

Sometimes it is, and there are some, food and clothing, miscellaneous and miscellaneous, not less than a thousand and eight hundred silver.

Hong Peiju looked very jealous.

These are more than his salary!
Every month, Ji Min would take out 200 taels of silver and give it to Hong Peiju, saying that it was thanks to Lord Hou for his trouble!Thank you Hou Ye for your many days of caring, and so on.

In other cases, some food and cloth rewarded by the palace were selected and sent together.

Hong Peiju usually takes everything as ordered.

Liu Bao said angrily,
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs gives them 5000 taels of silver every month. The two little girls know how to take care of it. They clearly don't trust Lord Hou! Since they don't trust Lord Hou, what are they doing in our residence? They are either squandering it on their own. Or they will be deceived and wasted by some sneaky servants! Why are they so ignorant, they should put this money with Lord Hou, let him manage it for them, take care of it for them, Could it be that Lord Hou is still greedy for their money?"

Liu Baosheng complained and complained, and he knew how to measure it. After all, he didn't say "leave the Hou's mansion if you don't trust Lord Hou".

Hong Peiju didn't speak.

In fact, Liu Baosheng hit his mind.

Previously, when the Ji family sisters lived in Huai'an Marquis Mansion, he also had this kind of mischief. He felt that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would regularly allocate some living expenses to Ji Min, and it would not be to let Hou Ranghou Mansion suffer.

Hong Peiju thought at the time, if she could manage the money, or keep a part of it, then she would have a lot of money!

But I didn't expect that since the sisters of the Ji family came to the Hou's Mansion, they would firmly hold the property allocated to them by the palace in their own hands. They just gave Hong Peiju 200 taels of silver unshakably.

This point really annoyed Hong Peiju, but she couldn't attack it.

Because the money belongs to others, they can spend it as they want, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly sends the banknotes to Ji Min without even handing them over, so he can't grab it from Ji Min!
Although Hong Peiju can say that the Hou Mansion is responsible for their basic necessities of life here, there must be some expenses. For example, last year's winter clothes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs originally wanted to send a few pieces, but Yang said that the Hou Mansion will definitely make it for the Ji family sisters. , Therefore, more cloth was specially given.

But after Ji Min came to the Hou Mansion, he handed Yang 1000 taels of silver every month according to Ji Yun's instructions.

Not to mention that the money is enough for the two sisters to spend, even the entire Dangui Garden can't be spent so much.

Therefore, Hong Peiju has no reason to grab the money from Ji Min again.

Especially later, when Li Mi and Zhou Biao and Zhou Huan often sent people to "greeting", Hong Peiju knew that he could not force the sisters of the Ji family for the money. He could do small tricks secretly, but he couldn't tear his face apart.

The generation from Huai'an Marquis Mansion to Hong Peiju is already the sixth generation, and he himself has already felt a kind of desolation in the sunset.

Hong Peiju is thinking about how to change the status quo all the time, and he once had great ambitions, but now, he always has a deep and powerless sense of frustration.

He remembered that his heavenly grandfather, the father of his great-great-grandfather, the first Marquis of Huai'an also had a certain weight in the court.

Although he is not as important as Li Guogong and several other lords of the country, he has also galloped on the battlefield and dominated the situation, otherwise he would not have been named "Hou Ye".

But by the time of the second generation great-grandfather, because the family was prosperous at that time and his father's meritorious deeds blessed him, his great-great-grandfather became an ignorant playboy, and his family property almost lost all.At the same time, Hou Huai'an was pushed out of the court.

The great-grandfather of the third generation began to work hard and wanted to revitalize the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

But at that time, there were no war disputes in the peace of the world.

Moreover, the two great princes, Li Guogong and Qin Guogong, are guarding the border, and their troops are strong and strong, so there is no need for new rising stars to add to the army.

Therefore, at that time, the opportunities for generals to make their debut were really limited.

In particular, his great-grandfather's martial arts and literary talents were very ordinary.

Great-grandfather failed in the martial arts examinations, and was born and raised in the capital, so his martial arts strategy is naturally not as good as the generations of thunder warriors who have been tempered in the border crossings.

He started to take the civil service examination again, but such a half-way monk, coupled with mediocre aptitude, was naturally inferior to Concubine Lu's father, Taifu Lu of the previous dynasty, and Qi Xiang of the current dynasty, taught by a scholarly family like Taifu Nangong. children.

It can be said that if you can't write well, you can't do martial arts.

After ten years of hard work, I finally had to bow my head and accept my fate.

At this time, I remembered that although some people were marginalized in the court, some people sent their daughters to the palace and won wealth again!

So Hong Peiju's great-grandfather also did everything possible to select beautiful girls from the clan.

This time it was not in vain, and finally found a daughter of a distant cousin, so the great-grandfather adopted this niece as a foster daughter, just like she and he now accept Baojiang as a foster daughter.

It is said that this aunt and grandmother looks extremely beautiful. Hong Peiju has seen portraits, but it is just a still portrait that has faded with age, and it is already amazing!

Hong Peiju even expressed emotion countless times, if the aunt and grandma met the current Holy Majesty, she would probably be like the third prince's mother and concubine, doting in the harem!

But the cousin and grandmother may be born in a small family, have not read too many books, and have not been influenced by the atmosphere of the big family's inner house.

Although in a short period of time, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard can have a certain effect.

Etiquette can also be trained seven or eight times, but my cousin and grandmother have never seen the scene of the inner house fighting of the big family in the deep house. The kind of scheming and calculation are really incomparable with the women of the big family in the capital who have been soaked in the inner house struggle for a long time. Compare.

After the cousin and grandmother entered the palace, they have never been favored!

At that time, the emperor's biological mother died early and was brought up by Concubine Qiu. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he named Concubine Qiu the empress dowager.

Concubine Qiu's own son, Prince Cheng, has always wanted to replace her.Concubine Qiu also secretly prodded and tripped the emperor in the harem.

Some officials who wanted to speculate also began to attach themselves to Concubine Qiu and Prince Cheng.

As a last resort, the emperor had to rely on the support of loyal ministers in the court.

Therefore, at that time, the women of several aristocratic families were very favored.

These concubines are also very beautiful in appearance, and they are talented and have their own strengths.

And the most important thing is that the father and brother have a prominent position in the court and hold real power.

As for the cousin and grandmother, who had no family background and were not very clever, she was squeezed out to the edge by the concubines of these aristocratic families in the harem shortly after entering the palace, and basically never saw the face of the Holy Majesty.

There was no way, and when her great-grandmother entered the palace, she cried to her great-grandmother.

Great-grandmother's family did not have any women in the palace, and she didn't have much experience in this area. With her limited knowledge, she couldn't give correct guidance. She could only teach her to "please" the queen, "please" the high-status concubines, and let her hug her. Upper thigh.

However, anyone who is "pleased" will never lack flattery and flattery.

What's more, those who are "pleased" can not only be settled by flattery and flattery?

At that time, Yin Jieyu was a favorite, so the cousin and grandmother tried every means to get in touch with Yin Jieyu.

Yin Jieyu is pregnant at the moment and is domineering and domineering in the palace.

The aunt and grandmother flattered Yin Jieyu in every possible way, and gradually, Yin Jieyu also began to regard her as one of her own.

In fact, at that time Yin Jieyu wanted to find someone to consolidate her holy favor when she was pregnant, so that she wouldn't be seduced by other seductive concubines to take away her holy heart.

After getting in touch, I found that my cousin and grandmother were good-looking, simple-minded and easy to control.

Therefore, he hit it off with his cousin and grandmother, and began to support her intentionally.

But at this time, Yin Jieyu and Xu Chongrong had a conflict.

Yin Jieyu always saw that Xu Chongrong was not pleasing to the eye, so she wanted to take this opportunity to put Xu Chongrong to death.

Just at this time, it was time for the Ministry of Officials to assess the performance of officials, and the results of the assessment were the basis for the promotion of these officials.

Xu Chongrong's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was upright and could not be flexible, so he offended some people naturally.

Yin Jieyu asked Hong Peiju's cousin and grandmother, at that time, Hong Xiaoyi to testify that Xu Chongrong colluded with his father and brother outside the palace to buy an official title, which is tantamount to the concubine interfering in the government affairs!
Of course Xu Chongrong refused to admit it to death!

After the incident became serious, the emperor ordered the empress and the fourth concubine to investigate the harem in person, and asked the Dali Temple to investigate outside, and finally found out that it was a false accusation!
The emperor was furious, and in a fit of rage, he threw Hong Xiaoyi into limbo.

At this time, it happened that Yin Jieyu's father participated in Prince Cheng's rebellion!

The emperor was even more furious, and ordered Yin Jieyu to die, together with the child in her womb!

After the aftermath was not over, some people thought of Hong Xiaoyi who was thrown into the cold palace again, so Hong Xiaoyi was also given death!

Before she died, Hong Xiaoyi knew that she had no way out, but she begged to see her family before she died.

After seeing her great-grandmother, Hong Xiaoyi broke down in tears, and her grandmother was also very, very hurt. Although she was not her own daughter, she was raised under her knees for many years, and later sent to the palace and had contacts.

I never thought that I didn't get rich and honor, but instead took my life!

Before her death, Hong Xiaoyi told her great-grandmother that the Duke of Li had a secret. This secret involved the stability of the country and even the change of owner!

Moreover, this secret is related to the royal family. If you know this secret, you will be valued by the emperor.

Hong Peiju's grandfather looked at her cousin, who died tragically shortly after entering the palace, and since then the Huai'an Hou family was also rejected by the Holy One, so the grandfather dared not do anything more and spent his life doing nothing.

In Hong Peiju's father's generation, because the new emperor came to the throne, one emperor and one courtier, it gave many people a chance to make a comeback.

Hong Peiju's father began to manage carefully, catering to the wishes of various ministers, and finally got a position as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Although he doesn't have much real power in this household department, he has finally reached the edge of the core of power again, which can be regarded as some improvement.

He told Hong Peiju the secret that his cousin and grandmother had bought with their lives.

So Hong Peiju began to make friends with the royal family and the children of the aristocratic family.But because the Marquis of Huai'an is not very prominent after all, the princes of high officials and dignitaries are not very willing to get in touch with him.

He didn't have a lot of money for the children of these aristocratic families to squander, and it was difficult to play with them.

Until, Hong Peiju caught up with Chen Zhuoxin's thigh!
