A sweet fragrance drifted out for ten miles while tens of thousands of gold pieces were dropped.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Yang Juan Er's marriage to the crown prince, and Madam Hou had once again dragged Su Waner on her hard work.
On this day, Madam Hou was finishing his inventory of the treasures in his family, but when he married his daughter, he took out half of the silver from the family.
"Mom, Mom!"
Yang Zizhi came in happily from the outside. Ever since he had become a Rogue Officer, he was like a monkey that had become a horse, extremely cocky.
Madam Hou looked up at the sky and thought he heard wrong.
"Mother!" Yang Zizhi pulled open the curtain and rushed in.
Madam Hou saw that his face was flushed and felt comforted. She quickly invited him to sit in front of her and asked him: "My son, why didn't you go out to play today?"
"Mother, your son got a big job!"
Yang Zizhi beamed as he picked up the cold tea from the cup and gulped it down.
However, the Madam Hou did not mind and casually asked: "What errand? Your father made it for you? "
Yang Zizhi waved his hand, and laughed: "Of course not, didn't little sister send a message from the palace saying that she's nervous?"
Mentioning this matter, Madam Hou's head was full of bags, and he said anxiously: "Sigh, I am currently worrying about this matter! That is a bottomless hole. Previously, your father said that fifty thousand silver was enough to use as a reserve. Who would have thought that in March, he already said that he was short on money. "
Yang Zizhi was very unhappy, and said: "Mother, little sister is too spoiled, how can I know how to use the silver? I think it's better if mother goes to the palace to teach her, since Aunt Liu is not that easy to use. Furthermore, I can't ask the palace to give her all the silver.
Madam Hou thought of his eldest grandson from the Concubine Yan. Right now, his eyebrows were already opened, the white and tender face was enough to cause people to feel pain!
Yang Zizhi's words were not wrong, the The House of the Marquis of Loyalty would still need him to shoulder the burden in the future.
When you have time, go to your first wife's room. You can't possibly be born in bastard son, since there's still no news from your first wife's room. Your first uncle and third uncle have added a few grandchildren to their families this year.
When Yang Zizhi heard him, he became impatient. His relationship with Su Waner was not like before, in addition, Su Waner was only concerned with getting money, and with her lovely concubine accompanying him day and night, Yang Zizhi's feelings towards him were as light as they could get.
"Alright, Mother. I'll decide on this matter. Oh right, I haven't said it's a good job yet!"
Only then did Madam Hou remember why Yang Zizhi was here, and asked: What kind of job did you do?
"Mother, wasn't the south affected by the drought?" Yang Zizhi reminded her mysteriously.
The Madam Hou said unhappily: "What am I doing? I'm not asking you to take care of the refugees that are fleeing to the outskirts of the capital. If you don't get involved in that muddy water, it would be useless."
Yang Zizhi laughed: "Mother, you are mistaken, this is all thanks to our Fourth Sister, she was the one who asked for this favor from the crown prince, asking me to take care of the food at market price and transport it to Jiangnan to relieve the calamity!"
If you were to say that he and the Madam Hou were on the same side, then they would forget about each other!
He previously said that he should not fork out more money for Yang Juan Er to use, but now that he got the job, he was so happy that his tail was sticking up.
After Madam Hou heard his words, his face relaxed as he laughed: "I wonder why her silver coins are so fast, it seems like she is looking for a job for you. It seems like we will be hard on you in the next few months, after you earn some silver from this, you have to give it to your sister as a share."
"Mother!" Yang Zizhi was unhappy, he wanted to get more silver to coax the two concubines in the house.
Seeing his unwillingness, Madam Hou became displeased and said coldly: "Why, do you still want to bring the silver back to your concubines? Let me tell you, those two concubines were bought with silver coins, and you can do whatever you want to do. If you are unhappy, you can kill those two concubines and sell them.
Yang Zizhi thought for a while, then laughed: "As expected of mother, words are reasonable, I will do as you say."
Instead of admitting it, he made Madam Hou feel unhappy. He felt that his two concubines were very arrogant and dared to ride on his men's heads to pee in their pants. He made up his mind that he would deal with his concubine secretly.
"By the way, how much did the crown prince ask you to collect?"
"The more the merrier. Say if it just so happens that this time, we're going to make some form or something." Yang Zizhi didn't have much ink in his stomach.
Madam Hou was disappointed and scolded him: "I used to tell you to study more but you only knew how to play. Now that you know how to use books, you must hate them less, right? It's just an example, the crown prince, as the master of the Eastern Palace and the next generation of emperor, naturally has to worry about the livelihood of the people in the world."
Yang Zizhi kowtowed to Madam Hou and said, "Mother, hurry up and give me an idea how to earn this silver. His Highness the crown prince had already said that the first batch would be worth a million gold coins. Furthermore, this is only the first batch. I heard that this time, the amount of relief provided by the imperial government was more than eight hundred thousand. "
Madam Hou thought for a while, then asked: "How much can you get?"
"It's as much as three hundred thousand taels!" "Other than the capital city, the prefectures of Sichuan, Xiangzhou, and Luzhou each receive a hundred thousand taels of relief." In other words, the imperial government actually wanted three hundred thousand gold, and the money was in Yang Zizhi's pocket.
"Sigh, there is nothing our The House of the Marquis of Loyalty can do to help. This world is the future of His Highness the Crown Prince, and we, Juan Er, will be the empress in the future.
Madam Hou thought for a while and continued, "How about this, I still have several tens of thousands of pounds of old food left in my wedding village, so I'll make a deal with them. Besides, a bunch of poor bastards, it's good as long as they have something to eat.
"Mother, I can't earn much even if it's tens of thousands of pounds. If I earn this silver, I'll probably have to give half of it to my little sister!" Yang Zizhi wished that the other party would give him some rice.
"You're right. Your sister-in-law has a rather large manor. I'm afraid that she's been getting old rations all these years!" Madam Hou started to scheme against Mu Rousang.
When Yang Zizhi thought about that cute, soft and little girl, his heart started to itch. That damned girl had never left his side when she was out, even if he had the heart, he wouldn't be able to bring her up to his lips.
"Mom, why don't we give her some silver?"
Madam Hou could not help but shout in anger, "Ahh! "What does she count as? Even if a village girl marries with more money, she would only be able to make a fortune. How would she be able to match your wife's family background?"
The Mu Family was thin, and only Zuo Mansion's uncle was at the third rank, so she couldn't borrow much strength.
Yang Zizhi could not bear it, he had to do this, it was good for him to rob his, but no matter what, he had to give his some silver, and said: "Mother, no matter what, he is still our little brother's wife, if you just ask her to provide food and not money, I am afraid it will be unjustifiable."
Madam Hou snorted twice, then said: "The Gui Yuan couple over there are just two inexperienced wolves, you don't need to worry about this, just give me the tickets to buy food for the disaster. Since your uncle is in trouble, he has some money on him, I can send some people over to send them some money."
Mother, if the price is too high, your son will not accept it. Yang Zizhi knew how greedy the Liu Family was.
Madam Hou could not help but scold: "When you were young, which one of your grandfather and uncle did not love you? This really is too much of a waste. Bring it over, and you'll be able to earn less here. At that time, go and get the Third Son's Wife's food, and you'll be able to make up for the loss. "
Seeing that Madam Hou had made up his mind, he did not say anymore, and fished out a stack of green food stamps. Seeing that there were tens of thousands of catties written on it, Madam Hou was overjoyed, and started to place the food stamps in his arms.
Yang Zizhi got some pointers from the Madam Hou, so he went out to settle this matter. Thinking that Chen Mu was so cheap, why not ask around to see which family had the food from two years ago, then thinking that he himself was the Little National Uncle, so he asked a few servants to accompany him. From then on, there would be another future overbearing uncle in the capital.
Not to mention how Yang Zizhi had taken half of the market price to buy the Chen Mu which could only feed pigs, the Madam Hou who was sitting on the bed holding the stack of green bills was in a daze.
"Madam!"
Ever since Shen Mama was beaten up, she started to act like a turtle that was hiding its head. It's fine, it would not easily leave the Main yard, even if it had matters to attend to, it would only send the little girl away.
Seeing her enter, Madam Hou asked: "Cui Hua, which families in back street do you think have Chen Liang?"
The Shen Mama heard this from the outside, and she immediately said: "I'm afraid the Great Master, Third Master and a few other family members that are officials in the capital may be able to get some of it."
"Send someone to inform them that I want to collect some old rations." The Madam Hou frowned again and said: "No, saying that is not appropriate."
"Madam, there's no need for you to come out. You can just send the Eldest Young Lady and the Third Young Madam out." The Shen Mama gave him a push, then a push, then a push.
"That's right, even if they have something to do, it's the two of them listening. It's none of my business!" Madam Hou deeply agreed.
Shen Mama thought about what she said before, and asked again: "Madam, do you really plan on telling Third Young Madam not to pay with rice?"
"Isn't it big enough to affect her manor?" If there's too much Chen food, it won't be very good either. At least we'll need some new food mixed in to make it more eye-catching. "
Madam Hou smiled sinisterly, she was extremely envious of Mu Rousang's wealth.
Thus, he continued, "A few days ago, Master Hou interfered with Juan Er's dowry and told me that I couldn't find a chance. I had said earlier that her set of Echinacea lanceolata Maxim was very suitable to be Juan Er's concubine, but unfortunately, your Master had a stubborn mind, and had only found sandalwood for a few decades.
