Chapter 431 Generously Helping Princess Rui

Chapter 431: Generous donation to Princess Rui

“The empress entertained me so warmly, and I want to let my concubines return home happily, how can I bear to live up to my empress’ love?”

“Exactly so. , every time I come to the palace as a guest, you can see the difference in every detail, you can see the empress.”

Good guy, the flattery came from the beginning, which made Baochai feel a little bit tongue-tied, secretly thinking that he had admired these things before. A civil servant's wife.

There were all female relatives present. After the initial flattery, the conversation returned to the inner house, where everyone was talking about interesting things about running a family.

"Baochai, why are you frowning?"

"No"

Normally speaking, Baochai can definitely manage his expression well. At this moment, Chen Zhi saw that the sadness was entirely intentional on her part.

Chen Zhi immediately said, "If you have any difficulties or grievances, just tell me, and you still meet my sister-in-law."

"Oh, they are all tedious housework. Talking about them would be a spoiler, so don't tell me." " Baochai shook his head helplessly, fully grasping the essence of playing hard to get.

Chen Zhi said with a smile, "Who here is not talking about family matters. We are not men busy with political affairs, so what else can we talk about if we don't talk about family matters?"

In fact, after her sister-in-law and sister-in-law said, His words had attracted the attention of everyone present.

"It's not about the money."

Just hearing what Baochai said, Chen Zhi felt that something was not good, but the matter was irreversible.

Now that she has spoken, Baochai has no chance of stopping, so she goes on to say, "Sister-in-law, you know that the expenses in our house are huge, and the money in the treasury is getting worse every day."

p>

"A few days ago, I told the prince to find some people to open a few shops and supplement the house to some extent. Sister-in-law, guess what he said."

Here Baochai specially Emphasizing that it was her idea to make money, such a "notorious reputation" for being greedy for money will fall on her, and it will not affect Zhu Jinghong in this regard.

"What did Thirteenth Brother say?" Chen Zhi asked with a smile, but she was already scolding in her heart.

Different from Chen Zhi's mood, the ladies present wanted to know what Zhu Jinghong said.

Baochai said helplessly, "Our prince said that money is an external possession, so it's no big deal. He said that even if the money is really short, he can just ask his brother to borrow it. He also said that the sixth brother said that he would let you have money." If you have any difficulties, look for him."

"Haha, Thirteenth Brother, you really, really said it well. Isn't that money just an external thing?" Chen Zhiqiang said with a smile, and changed the topic.

"Sister-in-law, please praise him. He doesn't know how to make money, but he doesn't know how to make a hero with a penny."

Seeing that Baochai didn't directly ask for money, Chen Zhi She felt relieved in her heart, and Prince Rui's silver was also very nervous.

"This is correct. Their men are living happily outside, but they don't know the difficulties we women are in." Chen Zhi looked at everyone present and said.

Baochai smiled, nodded and said, "This is exactly the reason, so I told him at that time that Sixth Brother was just being polite., how can you take it seriously?"

Chen Zhi's smile froze when she heard these words, but in an instant she resumed her smile, and at the same time she began to scold Zhu Laoliu in her heart.

"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, so I advised him not to trouble Brother Six, so I asked him to find someone to open a shop."

After Baochai's words, Chen Zhi was completely She was being held up, both physically and mentally.

With so many people watching, if she didn't express her feelings at this time, Prince Rui's Palace would become a laughing stock.

I usually boast about Haikou in front of my brother, but now I don’t care about him when something happens. If these words spread, Prince Rui’s palace will suffer great losses.

“What are you saying, our palace? Even if there are more difficulties and you still can't get rid of some money, just tell me how much money you have left."

Of course the wives present did not know how much money the Prince Xiang's Mansion had, but thinking that Zhu Jinghong was not good at management, They will naturally believe Baochai's words.

Only Chen Zhi has a general understanding and knows that even if Prince Xiang's palace cannot make ends meet, it still has at least one hundred thousand taels of silver in savings.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on. I'm sorry, we can get through it no matter how difficult it is, but we can't drag you down." Baochai looked like she couldn't bear it, but she became more and more comfortable in dealing with it.

She and Zhu Jinghong have been married for a long time, and they often listen to their men. Complaints, how many times has Lao Liu dug her into the trap before, and today Baochai just took the opportunity to take revenge.

Even being invited here today, Baochai knew that Chen Zhi had no good intentions, so she was even more prepared. Come.

At this time, her words have completely pushed Chen Zhi into a "desperate situation". She can't do anything today without help.

"Look. , what are you talking about? What kind of burden does a brother have?

"Baochai, you have just established the government, so it is normal for you not to be well-off. It's up to you how much money you need. As a brother and sister-in-law, Can you still help me?"

At this time, the fateful woman said, "Ms. "Brother"

Obviously this person did not see the situation clearly. At this time, he did not forget to flatter Prince Rui's Mansion. However, most of the people present had this idea.

Obviously, the high-end game between Baochai and Chen Zhi is not something ordinary people can understand, let alone participate in.

"This" Baochai still looked troubled.

Seeing that Baochai didn't speak, Chen Zhi took the initiative and said, "A few days ago, Zhuangzi sent me ten thousand taels of silver. You can take it and use it first."

One sentence per sentence Chen Zhi's body ached extremely when he took out ten thousand taels of silver.

Of course she could say three thousand five thousand, but she couldn't get it, so she called out ten thousand taels of silver.

After hearing this, Baochai felt a little regretful for a moment, and secretly thought that he should not delay, otherwise he could squeeze out at least 20,000 silver.

Now that Chen Zhi had opened her mouth, Baochai naturally couldn't ask for more.

“With so much money, otherwise my sister-in-law would stillDiscuss it with Brother Six," Baochai said hypocritically.

"He loves his brothers the most, and he can still say that I did something wrong."

Chen Zhi then said with a smile "Besides, the relationship between us sisters is closer than that of siblings. I am not afraid even if he says anything."

She was trying to cut her losses. At this moment, she emphasized that the relationship between sisters is good, in order to make it even better. She strongly showed that the relationship between Chen Zhi and Baochai was much better than that of Yuanchun.

After borrowing money, Baochai's frown naturally relaxed, and she started talking happily with Chen Zhi.

Even if he comes to ask for it, according to Zhu Jinghong's temperament, he may not want to pay back the money he borrowed based on his ability. .

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious and joyful, and Zhu Jingyuan, who was dragged to Shanglin Garden, felt like his life was like a year.

Zhu Jinghong's so-called fun things, such as horseback riding. Zhu Jingyuan didn't like any of them.

But Zhu Jinghong wanted to take him to play. After all the hard work, his whole body was sore and his ears were buzzing from the sound of the cannons.

Looking at his dumbfounded brother, Zhu Jinghong felt a little ashamed for a moment.

When he fired the cannon, he forgot to tell the sixth man to open his mouth. The key is that this guy was close to the muzzle of the cannon.

Zhu Jinghong walked forward and said with a slight embarrassment, "Brother Six, it's getting late, let's go back."

"What the hell, take a shower?" Zhu Jingyuan replied loudly. .

So Zhu Jinghong could only lean into Lao Liu’s ear and shout loudly, “I said it’s getting late, I’m going home.”

“Oh, it’s time to go back. "This whole body smells like sweat"

Even if the temperature is low now, Zhu Jingyuan was sweating when he came down from horseback to shoot arrows, and his body was already smelly.

"Sixth brother, please" Zhu Jinghong helped He asked his brother to get on the horse.

However, after they left Shanglin Garden, Zhu Jingyuan, who slowly recovered, left first. Looking at Zhu Jinghong was like looking at the God of Plague.

"Sixth Brother. , I had a lot of fun today, let’s meet again next time.”

Looking at the sedan chair going away, Zhu Jinghong shouted loudly, as if the relationship between brothers was good.

Said After hearing this nonsense, Zhu Jinghong walked towards his sedan chair, surrounded by eunuchs and Jia Yun.

Today he went to Shanglin Garden mainly to inspect the newly made guns in person. Now let's take a look. There was indeed no fraud in the parameters, and Jia Yun was even a little conservative in her report.

After getting on the sedan, Zhu Jinghong lifted the curtain and said to Jia Yun outside, "In the past two days, the Holy Emperor will come to Shanglin Garden to observe in person. A good student must be well prepared."

"I understand," Jia Yun replied.

Then the curtain was lowered and Zhu Jinghong left. As for Jia Yun, he returned to Shanglin Garden again. He planned to He just stayed in the workshop these two days.

After Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, he rushed to the palace.

But he entered the palace.At the gate, Zhu Jinghong saw several large boxes, which appeared particularly abrupt in the center of the main hall.

"What is contained in this, who asked to put it here?" Zhu Jinghong looked at the eunuch on duty in the palace.

However, before the eunuch could speak, Baochai's voice came from the side hall, "I ordered the box to be placed here."

Zhu Jinghong became more and more confused, secretly thinking that this girl Why are you so crazy? Why do you put so many things on the table?

After a few breaths, Baochai appeared from the side hall and said calmly, "I went to Prince Rui's Mansion, but I didn't come back empty-handed."

After saying this, Baochai glanced at the people on duty in the hall and said, "You all go down."

"Yes"

After everyone retreated, Zhu Jinghong opened a box, and then he was attracted by the contents inside. The silver ingot flashed into his eyes.

Then he opened the second mouthful, and there was no doubt that the third mouthful was full of silver.

The silver ingots were the same size. Zhu Jinghong picked them up and weighed them. He estimated that they should be at least ten taels.

Just when he was estimating how much it was, he heard Baochai say, "It's ten thousand taels"

"The ten thousand taels were given by Sister-in-law Six"

" You can't be the one who robbed her." Even though he said this, in Baochai's eyes, his behavior was not much different from that of someone who had robbed someone else.

"Sixth Sister-in-law is so stingy and stingy, but she still gives us so much money."

Baochai smiled and replied, "Don't talk nonsense, Sixth Sister-in-law is very generous." When he saw that I was frowning, he immediately asked why."

Next, Baochai told the story again, and Zhu Jinghong also laughed at the end.

"Baochai, if you keep pressing on like this and asking Sister-in-law Six to pay so much money, I'm afraid she will get sick from anger."

"It's not you who said that the two of them always I framed you, and now people are helping you to vent your anger. Could it be that you have done something wrong?" Baochai said angrily.

Zhu Jinghong quickly embraced her and said, "I have never said this before. It is best for the two of them to get angry to death, and then the world will be pure."

"Forget it, let's not mention them. How should I reward you for your great achievements today?"

"How dare I ask for any reward when I reward you? I just hope that the prince will pay more attention to the friendship between husband and wife. Don't With the new person, just forget about the old person."

Looking at Baochai's plump figure and playful face, Zhu Jinghong suddenly had bad intentions.

So he hugged Baochai and said in the latter's exclamation, "Since you said that, I have to love you well."

Knowing that Zhu Jinghong wanted What are you doing? Baochai wanted to push him away and said, "No, Your Majesty, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly."

"You and I, as husband and wife, can't we just say it's bright and clear?"

Zhu Jinghong was overjoyed. , Baochai's rejection was not only ineffective, but also had the effect of adding to the excitement.

Yin'an Hall is Zhu Jinghong's dormitory. Although he rarely spends the night here, all the beds are available.

A few unworthy stepsHe came inside the house. Although he needed help getting dressed, he was very good at taking off his clothes.

When Baochai saw that he could not evade, he knew that he could not escape today, so he had no choice but to refuse and welcome.

The two of them were very happy to be alive, but when Zhu Jingyuan returned to the palace, he still felt his ears ringing.

I was really upset today, so Zhu Jingyuan didn't like anyone. When he entered the palace, a young eunuch ran too fast, so he ordered his men to drag him down and punish the twenty-eunuch.

All the way into the study, Zhu Jingyuan was sulking. When Chen Zhi learned that he was unhappy, he came over.

There was no one waiting in the study, so Chen Zhi came behind her husband and squeezed his shoulders very considerately.

In Zhu Jingyuan's rage, she was the only one in the palace who entered the study.

"What's going on today?"

"I'm not saying you're going to give a gift. Seeing as you were scolded by the old man, could it be that there's something wrong with the book?"

"Yes "Old Thirteen"

Zhu Jingyuan's voice was so loud that Chen Zhi was startled.

"What's wrong with Old Thirteen?" Chen Zhi had a strange expression.

“I went to donate books today, and I didn’t even say a few words to the old man when this guy barged in and introduced him to what kind of bullshit gun he was looking for.”

“This is terrible. Fortunately, the old man listened to it for a while and told him to get out and let me go. I have a lot of things to say to the old man."

"I asked you to lower your voice. I'm not deaf. I'm afraid others won't hear me if I speak loudly," Chen Zhi said angrily, then walked away and stopped squeezing Zhu Jingyuan's shoulders.

What she didn’t know was that although Zhu Jingyuan had basically recovered his hearing, he was still affected by tinnitus to some extent, so he spoke so loudly.

"Anyway, today, after Old Thirteen interfered, everything went wrong." Zhu Jingyuan relaxed a little.

"Then your efforts in repairing books will be in vain." Chen Zhi was also a little worried. After all, repairing books was a top priority for Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Not really, the old man is taking a closer look, maybe he will call me for questioning in the next two days"

"That's good"

Picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Feeling a little calmer, Zhu Jingyuan asked, "By the way, please prepare in advance. This time, all the bachelors of book repair have made meritorious service. Each of them will send a thank you gift. Each person will receive one hundred yuan." "Liangba"

The bachelors of Jixian Hall were all selected by Zhu Jingyuan himself, and most of them were scholars of unknown family background.

The so-called family status is not obvious, simply speaking, it is a scholar with less than 3,000 acres of land and an annual income of less than 5,000 taels.

Five thousand taels of silver is certainly not much, but that is for the wealthy. At present, small landowners still account for the majority, and people like Feng Yuan are the mainstream.

So for an official of this background, although one hundred taels of silver is not a huge sum of money, it is still a considerable income.

"One hundred taels" Chen Zhi was a little surprised.

There are about a hundred bachelors in Jixian Hall. Zhu Jingyuan asked for ten thousand taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth. Chen Zhi heard this.However, the pain in my body was extremely painful.

"Why do you think it's missing?" Zhu Jingyuan was a little helpless.

"If it hadn't been for the expense of welcoming and sending off a few days ago, I would have thought of giving each person two hundred taels."

"The salaries of bachelors are not high, and the capital is very Everything is expensive, and there is not much money in Jixian Hall now, so I should help out more."

"Let's add fifty taels to each person. After a while, the money will come into the house, and we can make up for the rest. "Fifty taels for me"

Listening to Zhu Jingyuan talking to himself, Chen Zhi couldn't help but interrupt, "Your Majesty, let's go to one hundred taels. We don't have any money left in the house."

"I don't have any money left. Didn't I just earn 10,000 taels a few days ago? With the existing silver in the treasury, I still have 20,000 taels."

At this point, Zhu Jingyuan faced Dai said unhappily, "You must be reluctant to part with the money, right?"

"The 10,000 silver that was put into the treasury the day before yesterday was borrowed by the Thirteenth Family today," Chen Zhi said with great shame.

"The Thirteen families have borrowed money and they are not short of money. Why did they come to our house to borrow money?" Zhu Jingyuan thought his wife was joking.

"The thirteenth daughter-in-law came today and said"

Next, Chen Zhi explained the banquet situation, and only then did Zhu Jingyuan realize that the 10,000 taels of silver were really gone.

“Are you crazy to lend out ten thousand taels of silver without consulting me?”

“Do you know that our house is not well-off either, with so many places? If you need money, you borrow money from people who are not short of money."

"How can I deal with a prodigal woman like you?"

Originally, Chen Zhi was still feeling guilty, but I heard that When Zhu Jingyuan's words became more and more outrageous, her anger suddenly emerged.

"What do you mean, surnamed Zhu? If you hadn't boasted about Haikou, I wouldn't have been forced to be so cruel."

"Our family pays more than 100,000 taels in tribute every year. Why are you always short of money? Isn't it because you are trying to show off your appearance?"

"I'm a prodigal, and when it comes to prodigality, I'm not even ranked."

So the couple started There was a big quarrel in the study room, and eventually they broke up on bad terms.

After Chen Zhi left, Zhu Jingyuan was so angry that he turned over the desk. Fortunately, all the valuable things were smashed, so he didn't lose much by doing this.

But today, the setbacks in his career, family, finances, and body made him more miserable than the lack of money.

If the prince knew the current situation of Lao Liu, he would definitely be happy to have two more bowls of rice.
