The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 183 Prodigal Son

At night, the house looks a bit dark, not to mention that it is already September, after all, it's autumn, and the wind is getting colder. No matter what happens in this house, it seems cold.

The old lady half-lyed on the bed, looked at the small medicine bag Yue'e had just sent, and after a long time, she laughed out loud.

Jing Jing stood on the sidelines and watched in shock, she took a step back indistinctly, afraid that the old lady would suddenly think of her.

It's a pity that the old lady is used to crystals, how could she forget her?

"crystal……"

The old lady yelled, and Crystal hurriedly answered, came over and whispered: "Old lady, do you want to take these pills?"

As soon as the medicine was mentioned, the old lady's face immediately changed, from white to blue, from green to red, it seemed that she was very angry: "Don't ask me whether to take medicine or not in the future."

"what?"

Crystal was even more amazed to the extreme: "Old lady..."

"The family is unlucky!" After a long time, the old lady sighed: "Crystal, how did you know that this is not a good medicine at all, but a deadly medicine!"

At this moment, Crystal really couldn't hold on anymore, she swayed her feet a few times, feeling a little dark-eyed.

She seemed to have witnessed the secrets of the Meng family, and Jing Jing was very scared, fearing that the old lady would dispose of her.

At this moment, the old lady has already thought about it. She had listened to Yue'e's words and believed that the medicine sent by Yue'e was a good medicine to prolong life, and that Yue'e was filial. For this medicine, she hurt Yuechan. Even if Yuechan's wedding dress was destroyed and her dowry was withheld, she only punished her slightly, and she didn't give Yuechan an explanation at all.

However, who would have imagined that this medicine is not a good medicine at all, but...

Thinking of the letter Yuechan gave her when she got married, the old lady couldn't help feeling anxious. Yue'e, Yue'e, she only thought that Yue'e was smart and could be ruthless. Maybe she would be a few times stronger than Yuechan. point.

Unexpectedly, Yue'e's heart was too ruthless, and she was able to deal with her own grandmother, and gave herself the addictive medicine that was empty of her body as if she didn't need money.

She just said, why after taking too much of those medicines, as long as you don't take them for a while, you will feel weak and feel like you are sick. As soon as you take the medicine, you will be fine. It turns out that you are addicted. .

The Meng family has descendants like Yue'e, and they don't know what to do in the future.

Thinking of this, the old lady glanced at Crystal: "Crystal, I can't let Meng Jiaxing be handed over to Liu Mei's mother and daughter. You search quietly, find all the furniture I have saved over the years, and then put I have also found the account book of the private treasury in this mansion, so I have to plan carefully."

When Jing Jing heard this, she quickly lowered her head, thinking that she didn't know what the old lady was going to do, she had to be on guard first.

When Jing Jing went out, the old lady sneered for a while: "Yue'e, you have a good idea, but how can my old man fulfill your wish, or I will not, and I have a good grandson. The family has been emptied, and the Meng family cannot be left to you mother and daughter, the evil couple."

The old lady's eyes were full of anger, and she still had the determination to break the boat. She was planning something big in her heart. It's a pity that all the people in the house knew about it except Jing Jing, and no one else noticed it at all.

In the new room of the Nine Princes' Mansion, Yuechan slept so dizzy that she didn't wake up until it was almost dark.

She was also a little lost in sleep, opened her eyes and called out: "Thrush..."

Unexpectedly, the parrot opened the curtain and came in after hearing this, and said with a smile: "The princess is awake, the prince is waiting for you to have dinner, but you always don't wake up, the prince doesn't want people to disturb you, so he uses some first, and the kitchen is returned to you." You are heating the food, but you need some right now."

When Yuechan heard this, she remembered that she was married and now in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she was no longer a daughter of the Meng family.

Sitting up with support, Yuechan rubbed her forehead: "Let's use some first."

The parrot went out in response, and after a while, the green-clothed girl in the palace came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing Yuechan got up, she quickly helped her up carefully, and whispered: "The prince said that the princess has been too tired these days. , I was afraid of losing my health, so I boiled some medicine to replenish my body, and I asked the princess to use some."

Yuechan frowned at the dark concoction, she didn't want to drink it at first, but when she thought of Gao Zixuan's troubles last night, she was afraid of losing her health, so she took the medicine bowl, closed her eyes and drank it down.

After drinking the medicine, Lv Yi took out some candies from the plate and said with a smile, "This medicine is a little bit bitter, my concubine should take some of this to get rid of the bitter taste."

Yuechan put a candied fruit in her mouth, got out of bed and put on her shoes, gathered her black hair, fixed it on her head with a jade hairpin, and put on her big clothes again.

As soon as she finished tidying up, the parrot had already brought a few little girls over with food.

Yuechan took a look, there was a dish of tamales, a dish of tofu with shrimps, a dish of dried bamboo shoots, and a dish of green vegetables that she did not know where to get them. Except for the tamales, which looked greasy, the rest of the dishes were to my liking.

Looking at the pot of shredded chicken and bamboo shoot skin soup in the middle, and the small bowl of Bigeng rice, Yuechan felt that she was really hungry, so she picked up some chopsticks and used some to eat half full, fearing that she would overeat After he stopped eating at night, he waved his hands and asked people to withdraw.

After eating, she was lucky enough to eat in the house for a while, then she called Huan'er and asked, "Where is the prince? Do you want to come over tonight?"

Huan'er smiled: "The prince is in the study. It seems that there is something wrong. He said that he might not come here tonight. Let the princess rest first."

After saying this, she remembered another thing: "While the princess was resting, Eunuch Heshun sent some account books, which he said were the account books of the mansion, and the key to the storehouse. For the princess, you will be in charge of this mansion from now on."

After hearing this, Yuechan asked Huan'er to prepare her clothes, she wanted to take a bath first, and said: "Since the lord is busy, let's forget it, you can tell the kitchen later, let them keep the fire, and prepare for it." The last person, if the prince is too busy, he will make some midnight snacks and send them over."

Huan'er responded with a smile, and waited for Hou Yuechan to take a bath.

When Yuechan came out after taking a bath and changed into clean clothes, seeing the bed that had been made, she couldn't sleep.

She slept too much during the day, and now she was sleepy, just lying on the bed tossing and turning, becoming more and more energetic.

Even if she couldn't sleep, she wanted to find something to do, so she sat up and called Huan'er to turn on the lamp, and brought over the ledgers, she wanted to see the foundation of the palace first.

Huan'er quickly asked the little girl to light the lamp, and came over with a pile of ledgers, Yuechan simply put on her clothes and got out of bed, and sat by the desk to watch by the candlelight.

Roughly flipping through a few ledgers, Yuechan could see the truth here.

To be honest, Gao Zixuan was indeed favored, maybe he was the most favored among Emperor Tianchen's sons.

When the other princes left the palace to open their residences, they had enough money, only 10,000+ taels of silver, if it was enough, they would ask their mothers to subsidize it.

As for Gao Zixuan, Emperor Tianchen allocated 10,000+ taels of silver, and secretly took some gold and silver subsidies from the emperor's internal treasury, and gave him some very profitable shops, as well as several large Huangzhuang, and hot springs. Zhuangzi also sent several places.

There are hot springs in the suburbs of Chang'an, but most of them are royal manors. When Yuechan was in the Meng family, she also wanted to buy a hot spring. easily available.

Now that Gao Zixuan has a few places under his name, she is also excited, thinking that she must visit when she has time, and then make a reasonable plan for Zhuangzi, maybe it will be a good place for leisure in autumn and winter.

She also remembered that she had read some books about how to use hot springs to grow vegetables in winter, so she thought about looking for an opportunity to try it, maybe it would happen, and by then, she would be able to eat some fresh vegetables in winter.

With this idea in mind, Yuechan read the account book in more detail, wanting to see if there are any good things in the Nine Princes' Mansion.

Looking at it again, Yuechan couldn't help but get a headache, she stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, she was a little speechless.

Emperor Tianchen bought a lot of property for Gao Zixuan, not to mention gold and silver, those Zhuangzi's shops are all very profitable, how come Gao Zixuan has it, it turned out like this.

spendthrift!
Yuechan only had these three words in her heart.

Look at the messy accounts, what kind of clothes does this aunt want today, and what kind of jewelry does that aunt want tomorrow? There are so many beauties in this house, they keep reaching out to ask for it, even mountains of gold and silver are going to be exhausted. day.

In addition, this Ninth Prince is not a master who can save money. He has no rules when spending money. Seriously, over the past few years, it is already very good that the tossing Nine Princes' Mansion has no deficit.

In the end, Yuechan made a rough calculation, and there was no surplus money on the account, she lamented in her heart, the Nine Princes' House is really not easy to be a family.

If it's possible, Yuechan really wants to let go and let that Ninth Prince lose. Anyway, she has her own dowry, so she won't be hungry no matter what.

However, today she boasted in front of Emperor Tianchen and Concubine Huang, saying that she wanted to manage the Ninth Prince's Mansion well, if she really didn't care, the emperor might think of her.

Yuechan has a mentality of driving ducks to the shelves, and always feels strangely uncomfortable.

She thought about it, maybe Gao Zixuan married her because he thought that she could manage the family's finances. Although this idea was not very authentic, Yuechan still couldn't help thinking this way.

Rubbing her forehead again, Yuechan simply put down the booklet and stopped reading it. She stood up and walked around the house a few times, thinking that she must find a way to ease the financial crisis. Such a huge palace has lost its foundation.

If it's really a loss, Gao Zixuan might think that she is incompetent when she spends money, and if it really spreads to the emperor's ears, her reputation of being incompetent and incapable of managing the family will be settled. It's because others are not good, but the emperor is not sure how to deal with her.

The whole royal family has a set of sets, so you can't even think about it. A princess who can't manage the government affairs is not very useful in the eyes of the emperor. It is a pity to abandon it. In order to live a better life in the future, Yue Chan must also take care of the Nine Princes Mansion.

Just thinking about it, she was having a severe headache when she heard Huan'er shouting outside: "The lord is here..."

Yuechan hurriedly adjusted her clothes and went out to welcome her.

I saw Gao Zixuan was wearing a dark purple robe, the golden crown on his head had been taken off, and his black hair was tied with a brocade purple ribbon, making him look even more graceful in the night.

"It's late at night, why haven't you slept yet?" Gao Zixuan stepped forward and shook Yuechan's hand, and it was cold for a while, making him frown uncontrollably.

Yuechan smiled: "Is the lord finished with work?"

Gao Zixuan responded, pulled her into the room, turned his head and said to Huan'er: "You go down now!"

Huan'er saluted and retreated, Gao Zixuan hugged Yuechan into his arms: "But you can't sleep without this king?"

How can this person be so arrogant?

Yuechan's head hurts more and more. At this moment, the problem of the palace's accounts has not been resolved, but she finds that her husband seems to be a bit too confident and childish besides spending money loosely.
