Chapter three hundred and forty-eight maintenance issues
After sending Mr. Han's coffin to the funeral, Han fell ill after drinking the Huihui wine when he returned home. Yan Hu had to take care of his mother-in-law and children, but he had to take charge of the housekeeper. Fortunately, although Yan Hu had not officially taken over the Duke Anguo Mansion, he had already handled some affairs under the arrangement of Han. The servants also knew that this young lady was not the kind of fairy who didn't know the fireworks of the world. She was all obedient and did not dare to rely on the elderly in the mansion to bully the young master.
Yan Hu was busy at home, and Fu Zhixing was busy outside. On that day, the prince and Fu Zhixing went to the palace to meet the saint. The emperor saw the memorials presented by them and was furious, "Damn it, you dare to sell new rice and buy Chen Gu as military rations! Check it out and check it to see who else is involved in this matter."
The prince and Fu Zhixing received the order to leave the palace and returned to the Eastern Palace. Tang Jiang, Min confessed, Tang Lin and others had been waiting for a long time. The prince asked, "Can it be found out that the Wu family raised one million taels of silver from where?"
"It was found out that it was King Guishan who was helping him in time, but Wu Laosi would embezzle the one million taels of silver, and it was King Guishan who arranged for him to tempt him to gamble." Tang Lin replied. Wu Laosi had no ability, but he had a capable brother, and Boss Wu led 30,000 guards in the capital.
"It's a good business to spend one million taels of silver to exchange for 30,000 yuan of capital and guards." Fu Zhixing said calmly.
"I, the Seventh Uncle, really do anything to achieve my goal." The prince sneered.
Tang Jiang said coldly: "One million taels is not a small amount. Where did King Guishan get so much money?" King Guishan has been appointed as the king for less than ten years, and his assets are definitely not as many as the old prince's mansion. It is not easy for King Rong, Tang Jiang, to take out one million taels in one breath.
"Don't forget that when the Qiu family was searched, no amount of property was collected." Min confessed to him, "A huge part of the property of the Qiu family has fallen into the hands of King Guishan."
Tang Jiang smiled and said, "If Commander Wu knew that he had fallen into the bureau of King Guishan, I am afraid he would not be grateful to King Guishan for his strong help."
The prince smiled and said, "Tang Lin, make good arrangements so that Commander Wu can feel the kindness of King Guishan."
"Yes, the prince." Tang Lin replied.
The exam is still in progress, and the dredging of river channels is about to end. This is not to be found. If you are shocked, most of the river embankments may collapse. The imperial court has withdrawn funds every year to repair the river embankments, but this situation can still occur in the river embankments. This shows that many officials are in vain and have enough personal pockets.
"There are so many borers in the court." The emperor glanced coldly over the officials in the court, told the prince to continue investigating, and then retreated to the court.
The tense atmosphere in the officialdom also affected the backyard. At this time in previous years, the flower-watching banquets, spring banquets and garden parties in various prefectures were held in full swing, and this year, the governments were very quiet.
One day after the Huachao Festival, Honeysuckle told Yan Hu about something, "The old lady of the Bao family is pregnant."
"Who is pregnant?" Yan Hu didn't react immediately. Who was Mrs. Bao in the second wife?
"Miss Lichou and Miss Qingqing's step-grandmother-in-law are pregnant." Honeysuckle stretched out her finger, "It's been three months."
"She is pregnant!" Yan Hu wrote two letters, one to Wei Liniang and the other to Yu Qingqing, without congratulations, but just told the two directly that they were about to have a sister-in-law or brother-in-law who was younger than their children.
Wei Liniang and Yu Qingqing who received the letter were not surprised. They had already expected it on the day Bao’s father married You Shi, but they didn’t expect that she would have it so soon. It would be fine if You Shi gave birth to a daughter, fifteen years later, just prepare a dowry and marry her out. But if You Shi gave birth to a son, she could be divided.
The problem is that Bao’s father had already ruined his ancestors’ property. Now the Bao family’s land, farms, and shops are all purchased by the Bao brothers. They asked them to distribute the things to their half-brothers. They are not the Holy Fathers, so they cannot do it.
With Bao’s father here, the family cannot be divided for the time being. What we have to face is the issue of offering, and we must raise it, but how to raise it is worth discussing.
"My sister-in-law, I will give them monthly money every month. He is ten taels, the woman is five taels, and the child they gave birth to is one tael of money per month after they were three years old." The Bao Rong family made the decision after considering the salary of him and Bao Rongxing.
"After I resume my post, I will go to the border with your sister-in-law and send you 400 taels of silver every year." Bao Rongxing didn't like being restricted in Beijing, and Wei Li Niang and her husband followed her.
"There is too much silver for four hundred taels, two hundred taels is enough." The Bao Rong family originally planned to take two hundred taels each to support Bao's father, Youshi and their children.
"Okay, I say four hundred taels are four hundred taels. It is not easy for you to live in Yandu." Bao Rongxing said with a smile.
"Brother Thank you." Bao Rongjia smiled.
"Supporting to my father, I should have been my eldest son, but you and your younger siblings have suffered." Bao Rongxing sighed.
Bao Rong's family smiled and said, "I am also a son."
Things were settled like this. I only waited for a few months to expire in the filial piety period. I returned to Beijing and broke up with my biological father and stepmother slowly.
Although Yandu was not considered a bloody storm at this time, officials of all sizes were not very easy. The censors of the Censorate were so busy that they were not touching the ground, so many people were going to impeach. After February, officials from various ministries were not all new faces, at least one-third were newly appointed.
The exam was over, and the tense atmosphere was gone. The ladies and ladies from various palaces began to be active again. Yan Huo received nine invitations at once and was choosing. Shu Mei came in and said, "Mrs. Young lady, Princess Rong is here."
Yan Hu put down the invitation and went out, "Grand Auntie."
"Xiaoxiao." Concubine Rong no longer has to worry about her unsatisfied husband or worry about her concubine. She grew up a little against the enemy, and she looked younger than a few years ago.
The uncle and nephew went into the room to sit down, and Yan Huo personally served tea, "My aunt has something to do, just ask me to come over, why are you here specifically?"
"I'm not as 70 years old and eighty years old, so I can't move." Prince Rong smiled and took Yan Hu's hand. "I'll come and see my aunt, and ask you for some clothes that Yaya has worn."
Yan Hu's eyes lit up, "Are you happy again by cousin's wife?"
"It's really right to say that you are a clever little trick. Yes, your cousin is happy again. This time I hope she can give birth to a granddaughter for me." Concubine Rong smiled.
"My aunt will definitely get what she wants." Yan Huo smiled and asked Tamei to get a few sets of clothes that Yaya had worn and washed with water.
"Where is Yaya? Take it out and let me, my uncle, take a look." Prince Rong said with a smile.
As soon as the words were finished, the wet nurse came in with Yaya and Jun'er in. Princess Rong did not favor one or the other. She sat on the couch, holding Yaya with her left hand and Jun'er with her right hand, "Two little beloved."
Jun'er remained obediently and looked at Prince Rong with her big eyes open. Yaya was not that honest. She shouted at Prince Rong, "Ahhhh" at Prince Rong, as if she wanted to talk to her.
