Mrs. Prime Minister

Chapter 20
"It's okay, I just watched a play." The family wars, child heir disputes and interest competitions that are staged every day, the smile on Yun Qing's face became a little weaker, thinking of the fight in the old lady's room today, she felt a little nervous Wu Wu couldn't help looking sideways at Zhou's mother, "Mom, you know the things in our room best, how much silver can we put out in our room?"

"Missy, do you need money?" Mother Zhou's eyes were condensed, and she hesitated for a long time and said, "Although the things in Youranyuan are good, they are the property of the public. Let alone selling them, even if they are accidentally broken, they have to be compensated according to the price. Yes. In the past, when we were in the north courtyard, the eldest lady was extremely harsh, and the monthly salary was only five taels of silver. Over the years, my mother has taken care of the kitchen, so if it is really counted, we will not be able to get a penny. .”

Zhou's mother was a little helpless and a little bit angry. You must know that Yunqing is the eldest daughter of the dignified military minister's family. If she followed the regulations of the family, she should have at least 50 taels of silver per month as a daughter.

Yun Qing couldn't help but sneer, it was as expected as she had imagined.She pulled out the jade hairpin that she had worn for many years from her hair, caressed the warm hairpin with a little nostalgia, and then gave the hairpin to Zhou's mother cruelly.

"Mom, find a chance to go out of the house and sell this hairpin. This is a high-quality emerald, and it must be exchanged for some money." Although Yun Qing couldn't see how the Fourth Madam wanted the farm today, but I also know the importance of money, if there is less money, no amount of things can be done.

It seems that we have to find a way!

"Miss, this is the only thing my wife left you..." Zhou's mother was very distressed, "This hairpin was bought by the young master for many years of savings and given to my wife as a dowry, your mother I am grateful for my brother's love and love, and I have to watch it for a long time every day. Miss, a few years ago we sold all the things left by my wife, and now there is only this last one left, is the lady really willing?"

Yun Qing rarely showed a wry smile, she gently stroked the jade hairpin, her hands were smooth, because it was just taken off from the hair, there was still a little warmth, like the warmth brought to her by her mother, she was also reluctant to part with it, But I have to give up. "Mom, you are also clear about our current situation. Without money, let alone going out, it is difficult to move even in the house." Yun Qing's deep eyes stared coldly at the sneaky maid outside the house, coldly Said, "Look, we have to be careful when we speak in this yard, for fear of being overheard. This kind of life is not what Qing'er wants. Human nature is greedy, and these people do things for the eldest lady only for the benefit of their wealth. Once again we have money and we can use them. Mom, I need money!" There is also a way to make money.

Mother Zhou hesitated for a while, then took Yun Qing's hand cruelly, and said firmly, "Miss, follow me."

"What's the matter?" Yun Qing was pulled up by Zhou's mother, and seeing Zhou's mother carefully putting the jade hairpin back on her head, a thought clearly emerged in her heart.

"Miss, madam's jade hairpin is determined not to be sold. I know that miss will always remember madam in her heart. The jade hairpin is just a thought, but the maidservant has served madam for so many years. It seems that she can't even have the last thing left, madam. During her lifetime, she was often lingering on the sick bed, and she knew that if she went, the master would definitely remarry, and the madam was worried that the master's future wife would treat you badly, so she specially kept a hand."

Yun Qing knew it in her heart, her eyes were slightly wet, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou's mother's voice was also choked up, and the old voice seemed a bit desolate and sad. She pulled Yun Qing to a remote small cell in the house, and said in a choked voice, "Madam is very smart. She used to be in the Bai family. Time is full of thousands of favors, how many times His Majesty's will to choose a concubine came down, and your grandfather always shirked it. Your grandfather and grandmother only had such a daughter who was loved by thousands of people since she was a child, but she actually fell in love with your father, isn't it? You say your father is not good, but your father was just a small official in the military department at that time, your grandfather naturally disagreed, but your mother was stubborn, your grandfather disagreed, she even hung a piece of white silk on the beam of the house .Your grandfather was so angry that he never paid attention to your mother again, so your mother married your father smoothly."

Yun Qing never knew that her mother came here like this, she listened carefully to her mother's story, "...Actually, your grandfather has already agreed in disguise, otherwise how could she, a daughter of a clan, marry into such a The little Yun family, it’s just that your grandfather loved saving face the most, so he always treated your mother coldly. And your mother was stubborn at the time, and only made it difficult for your grandmother and uncle to be caught in the middle..." Mother Zhou wiped the damp From the corner of her eye, she took out a palm-sized porcelain from a treasure box. This porcelain was brought by Zhou's mother from the North Courtyard. At that time, Yun Qing didn't understand why she brought such a simple and plain thing. Didn't say anything.

I saw that Zhou's mother took out the porcelain and knocked on the bottom of the porcelain a few times. The bottom of the porcelain actually cracked a gap under the knocking, and the gap slowly spread, spreading like a spider's web.

It was only after the bottom was completely broken that Yun Qing saw the mystery, because the bottom of the porcelain was extremely thick, so the piece of paper wrapped in oiled paper could be hidden inside.

Mother Zhou stuffed the oiled paper into Yun Qing's hands, and said almost solemnly, "This shop was secretly given to your mother by your uncle, and it can be regarded as your mother's dowry. No one except me and your uncle knows about it. This shop belongs to your mother, Miss, the shop has been closed for so many years since Madam passed away, but fortunately, the location is very good, I have not dared to rent out our shop when someone wants to rent it out, Miss, now I will let this shop The title deed is given to you..."

Yun Qing tightly held the land deed in her hand, feeling the care and love of her mother who died young, she tightened her fingers, restrained the turbulence and turbulence of her heart, and nodded solemnly, "Mother Zhou, I will not let mother down Yes!" She stood up abruptly, her slender figure was actually a bit resolute, she turned around and said firmly with her back to Mother Zhou.

"Today... I'm going out of the house!"

She said that she wanted to leave the mansion, but it is not easy to leave the mansion as Yunqing. A lady of the family rarely has the opportunity to leave the mansion on weekdays. There must also be a large group of guards by your side.

Therefore, when Yun Qing said that she was going out of the house, Zhou's mother was so frightened that she lowered her voice and tried to persuade her but it didn't work at all. Yun Qing was determined to go out of the house.

"Mom, don't talk about it. I have to leave the house today. This shop is left to me by my mother. I have to go out to take care of it myself to be at ease. Mom, don't worry. If it doesn't work to leave the house quietly, then I will be fair and aboveboard." Go out. Just tell your father that I'm going to visit my grandfather and grandmother at Bai's house, and he won't stop you. "
