Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 249 Breakfast ([-])

"Young lady, it turns out that our yard is famous, it's called Qingluoxuan, we were in a hurry when we went out the last few times, and we forgot to look at it." Jinyu served breakfast, which was cold and cold as usual reheated.

Mu Qingwan looked at the plate, which was a little yellowish, wondering if there was a bun with hairy pigskin in the stuffing, she really didn't have the desire to pick it up.At this moment, Wei Fan, who had washed his face and brushed his teeth, came out, stood beside Baozi, looked at her for a while, and said, "Why don't I go say hello to my father, stay with him for breakfast, and then bring you something back eat?"

good idea!Eating is the most important thing in life, any face or dignity can be temporarily sacrificed, besides, it is not a shame to pack it back from the father-in-law.Mu Qingwan's eyes were shining brightly, but she praised Wei Fan vigorously: "You are still a bit smart, but paying your respects to Dad is something you should do every day, not for breakfast."

Wei Zhenxing will only rest in Rongfu Hall for three to five days in a month, so outside of these three to five days, there is no need to go to pay his respects—for example, today, he actually doesn’t need to go——Wei Fan thought about it Thinking, without saying anything, Mu Qingwan doesn't need to know about these trivial matters.

Mu Qingwan pulled Wei Fan's robe and wanted to send him to the second gate. Wei Fan panicked, pretended to be unhappy, and said, "I'm not lame, what do you want me to do? Do you really think I was a fool?"

"What are you talking about? I've never thought about it that way." This fool is really sensitive. It seems that when we get along with him in the future, we should pay more attention to our words and deeds so as not to hurt him. Mu Qingwan thought silently , sent Wei Fan to the gate of the courtyard, and went back to his room.

Because the dowry money was used today, Jinyu brought out the dowry list and account book and put them on the desk.After Mu Qingwan entered the room, she went straight to the desk and sat down, looking through it.Jinyu stood in front of the case and reported: "The monthly money of the young lady is ten taels of silver, but so far, there is no trace. I don't know if the princess forgot, or it has to be paid out after a full month. The size of the courtyard There are 14 maidservants and wives, together with the dowry. The monthly money is eight taels of silver. It is distributed together with the monthly money of the eldest young mistress, and the eldest young mistress distributes it. Here is a booklet that remembers them The respective ranks and the amount of monthly money will be distributed by the young mistress at that time."

Mu Qingwan asked: "What about the young master?"

Jinyu replied: "Eldest young master is also ten taels of silver every month. He returned to the mansion for more than a month, and once a month's money was paid, which was kept by Liu Xu. Up to now, more than half of it has been used, and there is less than two taels of silver left. , has been handed over by Little Walnut."

How come the money kept by Liu Xu was handed over by the little walnut in front of Hongrui?Mu Qingwan glanced at Jinyu.

Jinyu smiled and said: "I heard from Lingxin that because Hongrui left, Little Walnut has nowhere to go. He wants to claim credit and find a good job."

It's quite positive, but you can think of it with your heels, she is Princess Wei's person, who would dare to use her?Mu Qingwan smiled and said, "Only money, no account books?"

Jinyu shook her head and said, "Liu Xu can't write, so there is no account book."

No ledger?Mu Qingwan was quite speechless, forget it, forget it, since it's all happened in the past, let's just pretend it didn't happen, and she will just take care of Wei Fan's account in the future.However, the so-called monthly money is still empty talk, and half of the money has not been seen, so how can we manage the accounts?This is a typical pretty daughter-in-law who can't live without rice. Mu Qingwan shrugged helplessly, and asked Jinyu, "Then the reward money given to Mama Dou and the others just now was my dowry money?"

Jinyu nodded and said: "In the public account, there is only the two taels of silver from the young master. We dare not use it, so we took the dowry money from the young lady."

Mu Qingwan looked at her dowry list and sighed, "I'm just sitting on the mountain." In her dowry, there was no real property that could generate wealth. Although silk and gold and silver jewelry were valuable, they were her face. Even if you are old, you can't sell it; all the working capital that can be used is only 3 taels, and if you use it, you will lose a penny, which is really worrying.

Jin Yu felt sad: "When you were at home, why did the eldest and young mistress ever worry about money?"

Lingxiu came in from the outside, resentful: "They still look down on us as people from a small place, but we are in Yangxing County, we can get what we want, I don't know how happy we are, and when we arrive at the so-called Prince Wei's Mansion, we look very glamorous, In fact, it is far worse than in Yangxing County!"

"Is it the same for other people?" Mu Qingwan put down the dowry list and asked.

Lingxiu loves gossip the most, and she is the most knowledgeable about the news. Seeing her question, she hurriedly said: "I have heard that in this Prince Wei's mansion, except for Princess Wei, everyone else, including a few young ladies, are either in the sky or In the mud, so in the dark, they fight like black-eyed chickens, and it doesn't stop for a day."

Either in the sky or in the mud, what do you mean?Mu Qingwan and Jinyu didn't quite understand, Qiqi looked at her suspiciously.

Lingxiu explained: "For those who are favored like Aunt Qiu, if they want anything, they will directly send someone to the public to get it. Because the prince loves her, the princess dare not say anything; but if she is not favored, it's not like that. It's simple, even if there is a lack of a needle, you have to pay for it yourself. How can it be enough to spend just a few months of money? I heard that those aunts who are not living well can only pick up lamps to do embroidery work, and ask people to take it out. Sell ​​it, and even withhold the monthly money of the maidservant around you."

Isn't this the same as in those Gongdou dramas?However, the palace is originally a miniature harem, so it is not surprising that there is such a situation.Mu Qingwan sighed and nodded.

But Jinyu still had doubts, and asked: "My aunts are like this, I believe it, but the ladies are all rich, how can there be talk of being favored and falling out of favor, and how can they suffer so much?"

"Miss has to compete for favor!" Lingxiu said, "There are six or seven young ladies of the right age in this mansion. If you don't compete for favor, how do you get ahead and choose a good husband and wife? You know, except for Miss Eleven, they are all concubines. It’s like that Seventh Miss, who I heard is the least favorite of the princess. Every time she makes clothes for the four seasons, she can’t get any good colors. She dresses old-fashioned. It's really a good method, every time the fabrics given to her are better than other ladies, but they just make a fuss about the colors, so that people can't pick the thorns at all."

If it is really a good method, you can't criticize the princess for having a problem with her aesthetics, who dares?Mu Qingwan thought about it, then suddenly raised her head: "Miss Seven, the eldest young master, are you from the same mother?"

Lingxiu nodded again and again: "I heard it is."

That's right, it's probably because their biological mother didn't like the princess when she was alive, so they were also hated by the princess. Walk around with her more."

Jin Yu hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that this will make the princess even more unhappy."

Mu Qingwan said nonchalantly: "If you don't walk around with Miss Seven, the princess may not like me more." Some people can never be friends, since this is the case, there is no need to bother to please.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and went to the inner room. Before Wei Fan came back, she had to go back to sleep, and hoped that when she opened her eyes, there was already a delicious breakfast in front of her—oh, look at her Promise.
-
Wei Fan, the eldest young master who bears the "heavy responsibility", hurried to the second gate. Wei Hai was already waiting here, and after receiving him, he followed him out of the gate—this is the superiority of being a man , even a "fool" can go out at will, as long as someone follows.

Leaving the alley of King Wei's Mansion, Wei Fan began to wipe off his cold sweat, and then said in fear: "Just now, my wife insisted on sending me to the second gate. I was afraid that he would run into you, and it scared me to death——I was just like the young master of the Nie family. , it can still be called a coincidence, if even you were born like Wan Ren, it would be too unreasonable."

"Young master!" Wei Hai became anxious when he heard this, "Your tone, have you not told the young lady the truth yet?"

"Why didn't you tell me!" Wei Fan slapped him on the head angrily, "I told her I'm not a fool as you said, but she thought I was even more stupid and treated me like a child!"

This...how could this be?Wei Hai also didn't expect that Mu Qingwan would not believe it at all, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I'll think about it again..."

"You'd better help me think about it first, where can I find a clean and delicious breakfast?" Wei Fan's mind was obviously not on this topic, he looked around, "After all, I didn't go back to Beijing this year, many places have changed..."

"Breakfast?" Wei Hai was taken aback, "Eldest Young Master didn't eat breakfast in the mansion?"

Wei Fan sneered and said, "Qingluoxuan doesn't have a small kitchen as always. You know the food in the big kitchen, you can't swallow it, and you carry it all the way, it's cold, even if it's hot, you can't eat it .”

Wei Hai was surprised and said: "You are married now, is that still the case?"

There was hatred in Wei Fan's eyes, and he said: "I'm afraid it's because I married a wife that I have to treat him so poorly. I'm a fool and I'm not easy to deal with. They can only start with my wife and don't force her. Tighten up, how can you find fault with her?"

"This is really embarrassing for the young mistress." Wei Hai sighed, "Before you couldn't eat the food in the big kitchen, you could sneak out to solve it, but the young mistress is a female family member, so she can't go anywhere..." He was talking Afraid that Wei Fan would be even more sad because of this, he quickly comforted him and said, "Anyway, it's better than letting her be forced to be a child of the prince. Besides, you can come out and buy it for her. Anyway, we still have some savings. I didn’t dare to use it before because I wanted to pretend to be poor, so as not to be too ostentatious, but now that I have no such scruples, I can use it as much as I want.”

Wei Fan nodded and said: "Money is a trivial matter, and the princess probably can't care about it, but I want more than that, you know that."

Yes, what he wanted was revenge, to be the master of the country, even though the road was very difficult, he still came back without hesitation, Wei Hai nodded solemnly.
