Honglou: I really didn't want to rebel

Page 550

Although the old lady has ordered that no matter whether she is there or not, every month, the monthly bill of two taels must be set aside.

But how could Xiangyun be willing to spend money?

Well now, she is also a little rich woman,

I still earned it myself,

Speaking is naturally full of confidence.

Baochai looked at Xiangyun dumbfounded by Daiyu's words,

Shaking his head and laughing:

"Although everyone is not biological, they are also sisters who have grown up since childhood. This friendship is better than that of sisters who don't know how many biological sisters. If you are saying this word of thanks, isn't it heretic?"

Daiyu also nodded repeatedly and said:

"Girl Bao is right, what Sister Yun said just now is wrong. You will be fined for drinking later! Being the host is just for the sisters to have fun. What does it have to do with the past? If you have to say thank you for everything, then I Isn’t it going to give you blessings one by one?”

Tanchun suddenly laughed out loud,

Pointing to Jia Cong who came out from behind, he said:

"We are not afraid that Sister Lin will salute us, but we are worried that the third brother will be unhappy. After all, it is the Marquis, the mistress of the Ningguo Mansion, who will salute us, wouldn't the third brother be happy?"

Is it to hate us? "

In a word, Daiyu became angry from embarrassment,

Holding up her skirt, she chased after Tanchun.

"Third girl! I can't spare you anymore today! Otherwise, I won't be alive today!

Baochai watched the excitement from behind with a smile,

He suddenly heard Xiangyun's smirk,

My heart said it was going to be bad!

Just about to go up and gag Xiangyun,

I saw Xiangyun stepping back and laughing loudly:

"Third sister, what you said is wrong! And sister Bao is the mistress! Grandma!"

Baochai staggered and said angrily:

"Yun girl! You don't learn well!"

After finishing speaking, he went to chase Xiangyun for a while,

But Baochai has no advantage in facing Xiangyun.

In addition, Baoqin was making trouble on the side.

After a while,

Baochai stopped panting,

Sister Bao is from Xifu of Jiantao. In the future, Sister Bao will be more than just a sister.

Looking at Daiyu who was also out of breath,

The two smiled wryly at each other, then glared at Jia Cong at the same time.

Jia Cong waved his hand wrongly and said:

"I didn't say anything! Don't bring such a thing! Where did you vent your anger on me? If you don't let it go, I'll help you two catch them!"

Daiyu said with a broken voice:

"Don't make trouble here! Today, Miss Yun's host must give her a few glasses! This time, I won't drink rice wine and fruit wine, and replace it with white wine for Girl Yun!"

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled:

"That white wine is not for you to drink. It's too strong. Let's drink some fruit wine and yellow bar. The third sister and sister Yun are just humorous. I'm very happy to hear that!"

Daiyu and Baochai broke down together,

Xin said that you must be happy to hear them say that!

Daiyu sat on the bench,

Jiaochen rolled Jia Cong's eyes and said:

"What's humorous? It's just learned from Feng girl. It's just annoying to be talkative, bah

Seeing Daiyu's small appearance,

Everyone in the yard laughed.

Daiyu, who was laughing, couldn't hold back either, and laughed out loud.

Jia Cong said to Qingwen who had not been back long after Fang came back:

"?' Tell someone to go to the kitchen and tell them to pick some good ones to cook. With Sister Yun's situation today, I must do my best to save Sister Yun's face!"

Xiang Yun gave Jia Cong a thumbs up from the side,

Said proudly:

"Third brother still understands me! Qingwen, let the wives choose the best one! Don't save me money today!"

Qingwen smiled and nodded,

I heard Jia Cong continue to say:

"Let people go and see Xiangling and Fourth Younger Sister, and tell them to come back for dinner. Those little maids are playing outside, don't come back in a hurry. There is no need to serve here, let the kitchen make more, and put them in another yard , Let the maids and women in the courtyard go and eat."

Qingwen nodded helplessly,

The surrounding maids also quickly saluted and thanked Jia Cong.

Yingchun said dumbfoundedly:

"Where is someone who dotes on maids so much? In the future (Nuo Wang Zhao) doesn't know the dignity, wouldn't it make people laugh? The maids in the West Mansion are good enough. You are better here. These maids are more comfortable than those in the West Mansion. .”

Tanchun also nodded, and said in agreement:

"It is said that we are surrounded by half-girls, but I think the maids in the third elder brother's courtyard are the ones. The monthly rewards for each of them are higher than our monthly rate."

Jia Cong laughed loudly and waved his hands, saying,

Let everyone keep a personal servant girl, and the rest will go out.

"That's great. There are so many people around, it's not fun to eat and play. When we go to Taoshan, let them stroll by themselves, and let's play by ourselves."

Daiyu shook her head and laughed:

"It's said that the less people want something, the more they want it. Maybe the third brother will have dozens of people to serve him when he eats in the future."

Think of days like this,

Jia Cong shuddered involuntarily.

I thought that Emperor Longzheng and the others needed dozens of people to serve them when they ate dinner?

Can you still eat it? .

Chapter 580 Xia Shouzhong: Your Majesty has been a little capricious recently! (Flowers plus more)

Royal Palace, Warm Heart Palace,

Emperor Longzheng looked at the dozen or so delicate dishes in front of him,

He frowned and said:

"Xia Shouzhong, don't waste it like this in the future! Now the national treasury is empty, and the internal treasury has been looted. There are catastrophes everywhere. As the emperor, how can I be so extravagant? Cai Aiqing is right, I am thrifty Only those officials who still have ideals in their hearts will have the hope of being honest and uplifting."

Xia Shouzhong hastily bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, this is just looking delicate, but the portions are small. Your Majesty eats a little of each, and it happens to be [-]% full. Besides, Your Majesty is the emperor's supreme. How can you make yourself suffer so that officials can reflect on themselves? In that case, Your Majesty is suffering too!"

Listening to Xia Shouzhong's sincere concern,

Emperor Longzheng sighed,

put down your chopsticks,

Pointing to the mountain of memorials on the side, he said:

"If I'm more frugal, maybe there won't be so many troubles. Now that there are many places suffering severe drought and flooding, next year's tax revenue will inevitably be pitifully low. Under such circumstances, how can I have the heart to eat these delicacies from mountains and seas?"

"Go and pass the decree. From today onwards, the palace will save money and donate all the savings to the disaster relief funds. I also want to see how these concubines in the harem will be supported by the family. I want to see more, that Jia Cong Bastard, how much do you want to donate this time!"

Speaking of Jia Cong,

Emperor Longzheng gritted his teeth in anger,

Originally, there was no more 967 or less silver in the internal treasury,

As a result, Jia Cong's street lamp was picked up again,

Now the internal library can basically run mice!

If only this

Emperor Longzheng could bear it,

You can light tens of thousands of candles the size of a child's arm every night,

This kind of long-term consumption,

Even thinking about it made Emperor Longzheng feel so bad!

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a special supervision office.

Naturally, there are also specialized craftsmen who produce candles.

But even if you only look at the cost, it is still amazing!

Because the street lights are lit all night and all night!

Hearing what Emperor Longzheng said,

Xia Shouzhong hesitated a bit and reported:

"Your Majesty, if you are so frugal, I'm afraid the Ministry of Rites will disagree. This street lamp means that the Ministry of Rites said that it considers His Majesty's face and wrote letters one after another. If the harem is so frugal, wouldn't the Ministry of Rites want to say that Your Majesty..."

Emperor Longzheng snorted angrily and said:

"Compared with all the people in the world, it's nothing to be wronged in the harem! If Deng Bai hadn't brought a letter to the Ministry of Rites, I don't want to pretend to be any of these street lights! Now is the year of catastrophe, and I can tolerate it enough to collect money at this time!"

As an eunuch who followed Emperor Longzheng for decades,

Xia Shouzhong naturally understands that Wanmin and harem grievances are not important,

What matters is Emperor Longzheng's face!

the other side,

It's because in the harem,

But there are quite a few daughters of former ministers of the Supreme Emperor!

Thinking about it, I want to try it out.

See if you can take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the old ministers' camp.

After all, at this time, even a little change would be useful to Emperor Longzheng.

But Xia Shouzhong felt that,

Go on like this,

Does anyone think that Emperor Longzheng is more mean?
