Chapter 60

The next day, the news that the prime minister was reprimanded by the crown prince and Xianfu was at home spread in the mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion changed obviously, and the servants were also cautious. The second master Zhao Yushu didn't say anything to his wife last night, but the next day the mansion The news spread everywhere, Feng knew it without asking, and sat in the room for a long time before he sighed.

Standing up at the same time, "Let's go to the old lady's too, there are still people coming from Yifu today."

In the Yuege courtyard, Lu Zhu was reporting the news from the kitchen to Yuan Xi, with a shocked expression on his face, "Miss, will the old lady cease to be the prime minister?"

Yuan Xi was also surprised when he saw that things happened so quickly, and they were obviously different from the previous world, "Lu Zhu, go and call Fang Mama."

Luzhu also found out that the girl is calculating in the past few days, and went out to call for someone after not asking much. When she came back, Fang's mother followed in, and Luzhu directly closed the door, with a cautious look. Xi couldn't help but nodded after seeing it. After all, he still learned something in the past few days.

"Girl, did something happen?" Fang's mother knew last night that the girl was wronged outside, and the old lady didn't help her out, so she was angry. She didn't sleep well that night, and her face was pale at this time, " Don't worry, girl, when Madam arrives in a few days, she will naturally stand up for her."

Seeing that Fang's mother was still comforting herself at this time, Yuan Xi felt warm in her heart, and pulled her to sit down on the couch, "I'm afraid Mom doesn't know yet, my grandfather was reprimanded by the prince and now he is idle at home, and the position of prime minister cannot be passed." How long will it take to change people, how can the mansion offend the queen's natal family and Zhuang's mansion because of me? Zhuang's mansion is from the prince's side."

Mother Fang, a mother-in-law, doesn't know this, she suddenly lost her mind, "Then what should I do? Could it be that the girl has been wronged like this?"

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, "Are you wronged? It's hard to say. It's going to be a long time. Who knows what will happen in the future. Mom, don't worry about this. How much money do we have?"

When the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be chaos in the capital. What honorable family, the emperor and the courtiers, whether the courtiers can sit still is another matter, but this reminds her of one thing, when the crown prince ascends the throne There was a plague of locusts all over the world, and the locusts were all over the place, eating up all the crops wherever they went. Together with the plague of locusts, it was rumored that the prince was not a righteous king and became more and more powerful.

When she married into the Zhuang Mansion, she only stayed in the inner house, and did not ask much about the outside world. Only when the food in the mansion was not good, did she know that there was a locust plague outside. After all, the Zhuang Mansion is the favorite of the new emperor. affected too much.

Now that this life is remembered, it is better to prepare earlier.

"Does the girl want to use silver? When I came here, my wife gave 1000 taels to the servant girl. After arriving in the capital, the girl bought jewelry and other things. It cost more than 600 taels, and now there are only more than 300 taels left." Fang's mother was afraid that the girl would feel that the money was low. "If the girl thinks it's not enough, Madam told me when she came here that she can go to the counting house to pay and put it under the name of the big house."

More than 600 taels to buy jewelry?

Thinking about it, she really doesn't know how to live. These 600 taels are enough for a year's expenses of an ordinary official family in the capital.

Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, Fang's mother thought it was because she was afraid that Wutong Court would say, "Don't worry, girl, the income in this mansion is divided equally between the five houses. Our eldest family hasn't come back all these years, and the money is also stored in the tent. Miss If it’s our own money, the old lady won’t be able to tell.”

Seeing that she misunderstood, Yuan Xi didn't explain much, "Lu Zhu, go and get my jewelry box."

Green Bamboo took a few steps to the dressing table and took the box over, and put it on the square table on the soft couch. Yuanxi opened it and glanced inside. It was too dazzling and bright, really not suitable for her age.

Picked out a few hairpins that looked clean, and left the others untouched, "Mom, take these to the pawn shop to see how much money you can get, and pawn them all."

"What?" Fang's mother was startled, and everyone jumped up, "Girl, you can't do it, the girl wants to use silver, and the servants go to the tent to pay. It's a pity to pawn these jewelry."

"Mom, listen to me. Do you also know that I'm a messy person these days? Just trust me once, and besides, I'm old and young and Dai can't hold back." Yuan Xi also felt it was a pity.

But when the locust plague comes, coupled with civil strife, there are thieves everywhere. If they want to escape famine, how can they keep these things?

"Girl..." Mother Fang looked at the box of jewelry and couldn't bear to pawn it.

But seeing the girl was cruel, and knew that persuasion was useless.

Luzhu felt that the girl's words were very reasonable, "Mom, let's go be it. It's not bad to change the silver and add some styles that the girl likes. The difference is only a hundred taels of silver."

Fang's mother thought about it, so she held the box.

Yuanxi called her back again, "Mom, if you pawn your jewelry, use the money to rent a small yard outside and buy some grains and noodles to put in it. This time, you have to be careful, don't let anyone see it. "

"Girl?" Even Lu Zhu didn't know what the girl was going to do.

"I know in my heart, you just do it." How could Yuanxi tell them that there would be a plague of locusts.

I was afraid that they would think she was bewitched.

"Girl is becoming more and more invisible to people now, that's all, the servant girl will do it now." Mother Fang still dotes on Yuanxi after all.

Yuan Xi touched her arm with a smile, "I know Mammy loves me the most. Who told me that I grew up on your milk? Brother Nan said that Mammy loves me more."

Mother Fang smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, I'll let you mess around."

Luzhu found a cloth and wrapped the box before handing it back to Mother Fang. Mother Fang took the box and left, and then Luzhu asked, "Girl, do we still want to steal it back to the northwest?"

"Let's talk about it at that time." Yuan Xi also hoped that what he did today was unnecessary, but thinking about the coldness of the elders in the mansion, he felt that such preparations were unnecessary.

On the other side of the Indus Courtyard, it is rare that people from the fifth house gathered here, the old lady Zhao teased Brother Ding in her arms, and boasted, "Look at this kid who is only three years old, he looks like a little adult, yes, Know everything."

Bao Shi pursed his lips and smiled, "It's not that the old lady loves him. He knows how to come here. He is very smart. He knows who treats him well."

The old lady Zhao was happy when she heard this, she hugged her great-grandson and kissed her again, before handing it to the nanny beside her, "This child knows how to smile at me, it seems that King Hades is not in a hurry to recruit me."

"Mother is in good health, so don't say these words." Bao didn't know what he did wrong, so the old lady suddenly said this, and hurriedly stood up.

The old lady Zhao was not depressed because of her, she waved her hand, "Sit down, you are all good boys, knowing it will save me worry."

If it's not them, it's someone else.

Mrs. Bao also heard last night that the old lady was reprimanded at home because of something in the mansion. There is nothing else going on in the mansion these days except the second girl. It's just that Mrs. Bao also has her own plans. It's really down, relying on their mother's family, their life will not be sad, the most important thing right now is to find an errand for the fifth master, otherwise, when the prime minister's mansion is disbanded and the houses are divided, the fifth master will spend the whole day like this It's not a problem to stay here, so Bao Shi came to the old lady's place today.

Before she could open her mouth, the old lady became displeased, which made Bao Shi dare not speak out.

There was a little girl hanging the curtain outside, Feng Shi came in, saw Bao Shi was there, he felt different, but his face remained calm, he smiled and said hello, "The fifth sibling is also here."

"Second sister-in-law." Bao stood up and saluted.

Mrs. Feng smiled, and greeted the old lady Zhao above, sat down on the lower left seat, and then said, "The second room of Yifu brought the girl over today, and I have asked the third brother and sister to prepare the horoscope for Brother He." After a while, the third brother and sister will take them directly to the mother, and when the time comes, the exchange of horoscopes will be up to the mother."

The old lady Zhao nodded, without much joy on her face, "Is the table ready? Even if your father is not the prime minister, you can't neglect him."

"Mother, don't worry, these were all ready yesterday." Feng said briefly about the dishes, "Let Zhuangzi kill a sheep and roast it a long time ago, and prepare green vegetables to wrap it for eating. It’s a popular way to eat it now.”

Mrs. Zhao nodded. She never wanted to lose in her life. Now that the prime minister's mansion has encountered such a thing, she can't bow her head. At this time, she heard a little girl outside saying that the third lady was coming, and she saw the curtain move. Zhao Yuanqing walked in.

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Gao took out the horoscope and handed it over. Mrs. Zhao didn't want to see her timid look, "I didn't say anything about it before. We lived together in Yiyi, but now what is the mansion like?" You have also seen the situation. The family will be divided sooner or later. How can you be the mistress of the house? Even if you marry a daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will laugh at you. This way."

In front of the juniors, it was the first time that Mrs. Zhao directly shamed Mrs. Gao without mercy. Everyone knew that Mrs. Gao was feeling uncomfortable, so Mrs. Gao bumped into her.

Gao stood there, neither sitting nor standing, with his head down, his eyes red, and he didn't speak.

Zhao Yuanqing also stood there cautiously. The mother and daughter looked like this, and the old lady Zhao was so angry when she saw it, "It's okay, it's okay, it looks like I have suffered a lot. Those who don't know think I gave it to you." You mother and daughter are so angry, you may go back secretly and tell me how to call me an old man."

What he said made Feng Shi and Bao Shi feel ashamed when they heard it.

"Third brothers and sisters, I don't know what's going on in the kitchen, you can take Yuan Qing over there to have a look." Feng Shi found the steps for Gao Shi.

Gao quickly responded, and when he turned around to leave, he took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

 Thanks for the reward from the right-wing demons, girls, there are votes to vote, Baba is working hard to write.
