Chapter 41

Xia Jing covered her mouth, she didn't even dare to speak too much, she panicked with pain when touched, "A little problem, just a little angry, why are you all here? Did that big mouth of Hongmei tell you? "

"Concubine Mu, you don't know about your own servant girl. That girl's mouth is as tight as a clam shell. How can she spread your affairs everywhere."

As she said that, the eldest lady took a few sisters-in-law to salute Xia Jing, and then said: "It was the daughter-in-law's maid who went to the government doctor to get ginseng slices, and happened to meet Hongmei who asked the government doctor to grab the medicine. I just found out that you got angry. Why don’t you bring a few younger siblings to visit you, is your oral ulcer serious?”

Xia Jing asked Baimei to move stools and make tea, and when they all sat down and settled down, she apologized: "I'm out now, the conditions are poor, so it's not as good as being in the mansion, so you just make do with it. As for my ulcer , Fortunately, there are a few scorching blisters in the mouth, although it hurts when you touch it, but it will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry."

After finishing a sentence, Xia Jing covered her mouth with one hand, hissing, it really hurts!
She didn't want to talk, but these 'daughter-in-laws' came to visit her out of kindness, so they couldn't ignore them.

She has always been a good girl with good manners.

The second wife, Wen Shi, said with concern: "Concubine Mu, seeing you are suffering so badly, do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"

Xia Jing didn't care whether they cared sincerely or pretended, she smiled and refused.

Da Furen, "My daughter-in-law still has some golden silk tribute chrysanthemums, I will ask the servant girl to bring them over later, and the mother and concubine will drink it as tea, which can relieve the fire and detoxify very well."

The eldest lady was born in the century-old Huashi family in Yizhou. Her father was an official to the left servant, and she was often accompanied by the emperor. She was the right-hand man and minister of the humerus of Emperor Huiyuan.

Now I don't know where he fled with Emperor Huiyuan. I believe there should be news in a short time.

After the eldest lady married the uncle Li Chengshang, the couple's personalities are still in harmony. The husband sings and the wife follows suit. The relationship between the husband and wife is good. They gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Currently only the youngest son is not married.

The hundred-year-old family pays great attention to the cultivation of women in the family. The eldest wife has been familiar with books such as "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" since she was a child.

Therefore, she has always paid attention to filial piety to elders, friendship with sisters-in-law, caring for juniors and obedience to husbands, which can be called a model for women in this era.

Living in a feudal society, Xia Jing somewhat disagrees with the rules and regulations that restrain women, but she also has to say that for a woman like her who lives as the ancestor of the family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Look at the peace of mind of the 'daughters-in-law' who sit at the bottom and greet her well. As long as her seniority is here, they have to respect her.

At least on the surface.

As for what are they thinking?Xia Jing doesn't care at all, she should be more comfortable in life, as long as they don't make trouble for her, everyone can live in peace under the same roof.

Faced with all kinds of concern from her daughters-in-law, Xia Jing didn't want to talk because her mouth hurt, so she could only answer them with umm.

Everyone was chatting vigorously when Zeng Yan asked to see him outside the door.

"Is the butler here?"

The daughters-in-law looked at each other in blank dismay, why is he here?
Xia Jing raised her hand, signaling to come in.

Zeng Yan walked in calmly with a stack of ledgers in his arms. He was slightly taken aback when he saw a room full of women, but he quickly realized and bowed to everyone, "This old slave has seen the princess, and several ladies. .”

The ladies stared at the ledger in Zeng Yan's arms, feeling bad.

The smile on Xia Jing's face deepened, and she asked Baimei to bring him a stool.

In front of his master, Zeng Yan dared not sit down even though he borrowed courage from the sky. He presented the account book to Xia Jing, and then obediently retreated to the corner as a background board.

The eldest lady pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mother Concubine, I said that the ledgers, warehouse keys and matching cards of the inner courtyard of the mansion are all with me. I will ask Chun'er to bring them to you tomorrow."

Xia Jing's eyelids twitched, and she waved her hand: "Don't worry about this, let it go to you first."

It is unknown how much of the palace's property is left, but Xia Jing is sure that less than [-]% of the property of the palace may be left.

Why is this two percent enough?

Maybe even the guard camp in the palace can't support them, so taking over Zhongfu is tantamount to taking over a lot of trouble.

The eldest lady smiled and shook her head: "It's against the rules to put it in the daughter-in-law's place. Since you are back, you still have to take charge of the central government in the mansion. I am a temporary order, and I really can't manage it well. I will ask you more in the future." study."

Xia Jing clutched her cheeks, not only her mouth was hurting, but her teeth were also hurting.

Right now, she doesn't bother to talk to them, so let's go through her private property ledger first.

After flipping through two ledgers, Xia Jing's face slowly sank.

The ledger clearly recorded the whereabouts of her private property, and she raised her head and glanced at the several 'daughters-in-law' who were sitting upright.

She patted the account book, "From the second family, when my concubine passed her [-]th birthday, you borrowed the top-quality jade screen that Princess Yiqin gave me, why? The dowry prepared by your Wen Shiying mansion back then, even Didn't the screen prepare for you?"

When the second lady was called, she stood up in surprise, she never thought that Xia Jing would embarrass her face to face because of a screen.

"Mother Concubine, you misunderstood, it's just that at that time, the eldest wife of the Shaofu was a good friend of mine, and you also know that she personally prefers jade. When she came to the house as a guest, I couldn't get a decent jade screen for a while, so I asked Madam Cui temporarily borrowed your jade screen."

Seeing that Xia Jing's face was still dark, the second lady bit the bullet and said, "I'll ask the servant girl to bring it to you later."

Xia Jing stared at her expressionlessly: "What else?"

The second lady wiped the sweat from her forehead, and quickly raised a finger, "At that time, I borrowed a farm from you, thinking about planting several kinds of fruit trees. It seems that the current weather can't be planted, and I will let the servant girl share the land deed together. send over."

Zhuangzi is in Gyeonggi, and now he is fleeing. It is useless to hold the land deed, so he should return the property to the original owner, so as not to cause trouble.

Xia Jing hummed lightly, agreeing.

The second lady breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back in her seat. When she was greedy for her property, how could she have thought that people who were buried and left alive could come back alive?

Xia Jing lowered her eyes, continued flipping through the ledger, and asked indifferently: "The third family, how about you? The dowry given by Fufu is not enough for you, right?"

The third lady's face is not as thick as those of the sisters-in-law. When she was named, her cheeks became hot, and she said with a blushing face: "Mother, you know, we are concubines, and we are really nervous, so I asked the mother-in-law Borrowed two shops and wanted to make a living to maintain the daily expenses of the third room."

Xia Jing raised her head, and looked at her speechlessly, you Sanfang are so nervous that you can plan on her private property?
Ordinarily, after the death of the princess, most of the private property is left to the children, but the situation in the Qian Palace is a bit special. Xia Jing is the successor princess, and her private property should only be left to her own Xiao Wu.

She did not expect that as soon as the original owner passed away, these so-called filial sons and grandsons could not wait to divide up her property. The reasons were really varied and each showed their special abilities.
