Chapter 294

An autumn rain and a cool.

After two days of continuous rain, the autumn tiger retreated and finally ushered in a cool autumn.

Everyone also took off their summer clothes and put on some thicker autumn clothes.

Early in the morning, Xiao qin'er came to Chunhe hall to greet him.

She is more than five months pregnant and her stomach is slightly bulging.

If you don't gain weight, you will grow white.

Pei looked at her for a while, and first asked with concern, "how's your food recently? Is the child boisterous? "

Xiao qin'er caresses her abdomen and smiles with shame, "the food is OK. It's not like the kids are making a fuss. The doctor said that the child would not be particularly agitated until the last two months. "

Pei nodded and admonished, "you should be careful of yourself."

"If the daughter-in-law listens to the mother's concubine, she will take good care of herself and add a golden grandson to her mother's wife."

Pei's smile, add a golden sun, she would like.

But there is something more important than Kim Sun.

"The fourth daughter-in-law, the fourth daughter-in-law, you hand over all the money that the fourth elder gives you."

Xiao qin'er was confused first, then Xu. Her eyes turned around and said, "what kind of money, my daughter-in-law can't understand. My cousin didn't give me money. "

Xiao qin'er and Liu Yi are cousins. When they are married, they are often matched by their cousins.

Pei's face sank. "The fourth elder was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to do business. As a result, he only sent back less than 40000 taels of silver, which was more than half less than that in previous years.

Because of this, the LORD was very angry and sent someone to investigate the matter in the south of the Yangtze River. It is estimated that the result has been achieved.

Old four greedy for ink money, do you take it? Take advantage of the Lord has not noticed you, you quickly give the money. My princess will cover up for you and won't let the Lord punish you. "

Xiao qin'er's face changed slightly and she tried to smile, but the smile was not natural.

"My daughter-in-law can't understand what she said. What kind of silver? My cousin didn't give me silver. Since I married my cousin, I have been using my dowry money to supplement my cousin's expenses. "

Pei snorted coldly, "you don't listen to me. Do you have to send someone to search your room by thunderbolt? "

Xiao qin'er looked around and did not make eye contact with Pei's, "the mother's concubine's words are too frightening. The daughter-in-law is still pregnant. She is frightened. Her daughter-in-law is very uncomfortable. "

Bang!

Pei patted the table, "don't act in front of my princess. I have three children. What's the situation of a woman's pregnancy? You can hide it from me. Recently, you have added several thousand taels of jewelry. Where did the money come from? My princess asked people to check it out. Everything is clear. "

After a pause, she said painstakingly, "old four, are you confused? Is it so easy, Lord? When the fourth comes back to Beijing, the Lord will certainly punish her. You'd better give the rest of the money and take care of it for the fourth

Xiao qin'er suddenly burst into tears, "cousin really didn't give me money."

"He didn't give you the money himself, but he sent someone to give it to you. Now, you don't admit it. Do you make up your mind to accept money but not people? "

Pei's words and expressions were fierce, forcing Xiao qin'er to spit out all the remaining money.

Xiao qin'er resisted, "is the mother's concubine going to kill her daughter-in-law? My daughter-in-law really has no money. "

Pei was not polite to her. "Since you don't want to bear it, my princess will send someone to search your room. If a large amount of money is found, then don't blame me for not caring about your pregnancy. Come on, go to the fourth lady's room and search carefully. "

Xiao qin'er is in a hurry, "mother's concubine, daughter-in-law admits."

Pei's hand waved and stopped the servant girl from searching the house.

She glared at Xiao qin'er, "you man, you can't see the coffin without tears. I have to force Princess ben to send someone to search your room. "

Xiao qin'er is crying, "the mother's wife is a mirror, and her daughter-in-law is really poor and afraid."

Pei's frown, "does the palace have less than you wear, less than you eat? Princess Ben doesn't know where you're going to be poor? "

Xiao qin'er cried: "cousin, the monthly expenses are less than one or two thousand taels, and more are four or five thousand taels. The money allocated by the public is not enough. It is all subsidized by the dowry silver of the daughter-in-law.

In less than a year, my dowry money has been spent. When my cousin left Beijing, he promised that he would bring money back.

When I receive the silver, I think it is because he has found some way in the south of the Yangtze River. I didn't expect that the silver might be his money from the public.

Mother concubine, cousin's temperament you are clear, although he is a little tired and lazy, but certainly will not be greedy for money in the public. There must be some misunderstanding. "

Pei said with a straight face, "is there a misunderstanding? The Lord will investigate clearly. First of all, how much money did the fourth give you? "

Xiao qin'er took a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "A total of 20000 taels were given, and about 5000 taels were used by the daughter-in-law, and there were still 15000 taels left."

Pei's anger is rising. Xiao qin'er can really spend money. One shot is five thousand taels.

She asked, "did you report the wrong number? It's only twenty thousand taels, but you're playing tricks again. "Xiao qin'er shook her head again and again, "my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to play tricks. It's only twenty thousand taels. The maids can testify. "

Pei looked at Xiao qin'er suspiciously, "my princess, I believe you. Hand in all fifteen thousand taels. "

"Where is father?" Xiao qin'er looked at Pei's family in droves.

Pei said: "there, my princess will take care of it for you."

Xiao qin'er had no choice but to hand over 15000 Liang.

The servant girl went back to her room to get the silver ticket for her. Pei was not at ease and sent Wenzhong to follow her.

When Wenzhong returned to CHUNHETANG with 15000 taels, Pei's smile came out with satisfaction.

She accepted the silver note, "you go back to your room and have a good rest. Don't make any more trouble."

Xiao qin'er bows down to take orders.

She walked in the garden, spoiling flowers and plants all the way.

"The mother's concubine is really too much. This is the money my cousin gave me. Why should I confiscate it. I knew it would be the result. When I got the silver, I should have spent all of it, so that she could not get any money. "

"Take it easy, ma'am. Be careful of the children in your stomach. "

Xiao qin'er snorted, "it's not the same as having a child that is reprimanded by the mother's concubine, and forces me to take the money out."

She was really aggrieved, complaining and crying all the way back to her room. Many people saw this scene, and her story soon spread throughout the palace.

……

Ouyang Fu is waiting in front of Shen Bian Fei.

Shen side imperial concubine learns that Xiao qin'er is forced to take money, and she laughs three times, "you deserve it! It's not cheap to ask her to show off, princess

Ouyang Fu said: "I didn't expect that the fourth young master even dared to be greedy for money from the Lord. Is he not afraid of the king's Questioning? "

Shen side imperial concubine leans against soft collapse and smiles, "he is fearless. He is the prince's legitimate son, the most beloved son in the mansion. Even if he is greedy for money in the public, how about it. The Lord can't let him die. The great thing is to fight. By then, all the money will be spent, and it will be worth a meal. "

Ouyang Fu said, "it's just like this, where does the Lord dare to arrange errands for him. It's not that the gains outweigh the losses. "

Shen side imperial concubine ha ha ha a smile, "perhaps he is brain water, just go greedy ink silver. Maybe it's the head that is dazed by the decadent music in the south of the Yangtze River. In a word, the fourth brother was in trouble this time. After returning to Beijing, he must have a meal to clean up. At that time, I will blow the wind in the prince's ear and ask him to arrange more errands for the second young master. "

On hearing this, Ouyang Fu was very happy. "Over the years, my husband has always done some idle jobs, but not a few serious ones. The Lord is really partial. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fourth young master to commit crimes, it is time to fight for more for my husband. "

Shen side imperial concubine said with a smile: "strive to let the second young master go to the south of the Yangtze River next year. In the next trip to the south of the Yangtze River, you can hold ten or twenty thousand silver without the money of the greedy official. "

Ouyang Fu was surprised, "is it so easy to earn silver in Jiangnan?"

Shen Bian Fei said, "Jiangnan is a rich and gentle town. A casual salt merchant has hundreds of thousands of family assets. Those big salt merchants, I'm afraid, have to have millions and tens of millions of assets. Do you think it's easy to make money in that place

When Ouyang Fu heard this, she was worried.

Salt merchants must ask for money for nothing!

Either it's to find a way, or to block women.

How many ways can the second young master have? If he goes down to the south of the Yangtze River, he will be blocked by women in nine out of ten.

At the thought of the next trip to the south of the Yangtze River, there will be another woman in the backyard, which makes Ouyang Fu feel bad.

She really didn't have much confidence to clamor for the second young master to take concubines.

She has been in the door for more than two years, nearly three years, but she has no children under her knees and has not even given birth to a daughter.

For more than a year, she has been taking medicine to recuperate her body, but she has not been pregnant.

Sometimes she would also secretly rub to think whether it was the second childe's health problems.

But she did not dare to say it.

After all, she had a bad pregnancy, but she didn't keep it.

Ouyang Fu can only echo Shen side Fei's words and smile appropriately.

Shen side imperial concubine seemed to have guessed what she was thinking in her heart and beat her with words, "what about you? Don't be so heavy. Be a good housekeeper and take care of the internal affairs for the second young master. Children, sooner or later. If you can't, you just want to open up a little bit and make life possible. "

The implication is to make the decision to take concubines for the second young master.

Ouyang Fu lowered her head and whispered, "my daughter-in-law is much better. The doctor said that we should be able to conceive smoothly next year. "

Shen side imperial concubine looked at her like a smile, "is it? Is the doctor really saying that you will be pregnant next year

Ouyang Fu nodded heavily, "I'm sure I'll be pregnant next year."

Shen side imperial concubine facial expression is indifferent, "can be pregnant best. If I can't bear it, I will give it to others. The second young master is not young. He should have had a child

Ouyang Fu said weakly: "the daughter-in-law has been in accordance with the doctor's advice, dare not have the slightest laxity."Shen side imperial concubine said, "remember, you are the second lady. You should open branches and scatter leaves for the palace. If you can't have children, don't be jealous. Don't let the second childe take concubines. "

"My daughter-in-law knows." Ouyang Fu is very aggrieved, but dare not reveal it.

Shen side imperial concubine sighed again, "I don't know if there's really something wrong with the geomancy of the palace. You and three ladies have been in the door for such a long time, and they haven't had any children. Only the fourth lady finally had a baby. And Gu Jiu, there was no movement. "

Ouyang Fu explained for Gu Jiu, "sister-in-law has not moved, and I can't blame her. The eldest son hasn't been in the palace since he opened the new year. He just came back some time ago. "

Shen side imperial concubine said: "then wait for next year. If Gu Jiu doesn't move in the next year, I really want to talk to the Lord and find a Mr. Yin and yang to visit the palace. It is not where the evil spirit is too heavy to benefit the offspring. "

……

Gu Jiu didn't know that someone was already thinking about her stomach.

She is busy designing jewelry.

Liu Zhao was very creditable and said that three days would be three days.

A few days, a lot of a day, 15000 taels plus three skilled jewelry craftsmen, all delivered to her hand.

With money and people, Gu Jiu is ready to do a big job.

The original teahouse was closed and renovated.

Craftsmen live in the backyard of the teahouse, which will also be a jewelry workshop.

Gu Jiu orders song Zheng to select reliable personnel to guard the workshop to ensure the safety of property.

Since the morning, Gu Jiu has drawn five jewelry designs.

The sketch I learned in my last life has come into use again.

Five design drawings have been hidden in my mind for a long time. When writing, if God helps.

Each one is colored and looks lifelike.

"How beautiful

Several servant girls around Gu Jiu, looking at the design of the color.

"Such jewelry must be very expensive."

Gu Jiu nodded, "with the positioning of treasure house, the cheapest jewelry should be 100 Liang. The most expensive jewelry, worth ten thousand Liang. "

"Wow! But where did the lady get into the stone? Without the original stones, these jewelry can't be made. "

Gu Jiu chuckled, "at present, the treasure room is mainly made of red gold jewelry, and then the treasure house will launch various kinds of jewelry."

We need to eat at a time, and business needs to be slow.

It's not realistic to expect to be fat at one bite.

Gu Jiu designed two paths for the treasure house.

In the first half of the year, red gold jewelry was mainly used, supplemented by jewelry. Although the price of raw stones purchased from the jewelers in the capital is high, which reduces their profits, it can help zhenbaozhai to open up the market quickly.

At the same time, they sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to look for maritime merchants. Establish long-term cooperative relationship with maritime merchants, purchase goods from them, reduce costs and increase profits.

When she has enough capital, the next step is to organize cargo personnel to go to sea, and she also wants to do sea trade.

In this way, her hands are not enough people, she has to cultivate more talents.

If there is a chance, she will also get involved in the salt and iron business and transform herself into a rich woman.

From the morning to the evening, Gu Jiu drew ten design drawings in one breath.

Continue tomorrow.

Gather up 20 design drawings, and then let the craftsmen create and clean up according to the design drawings.

When the treasure room is decorated, you can open the door to do business.

Xiaocui said to her, "I heard that the fourth lady cried all afternoon."

Gu Jiu laughed. "She lost 15000 taels. It's strange that she doesn't cry."

"The fourth lady is pregnant, and she is not afraid to hurt the child in her stomach if she cries like this?" Qingmei is worried.

Gu Jiu said: "don't worry about it. If the four ladies cry like this, the princess will not sit back and ignore it. I'm sure we'll send for a doctor and visit her in person. "

Gu Jiu didn't say anything wrong. When the doctor came in, Pei went to see Xiao qin'er with the doctor.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shut the door and spoke a lot.

When Pei left, Xiao qin'er burst into tears and laughed. Obviously, Pei's coaxed her.

Early in the morning, Gu Jiucai drew two design drawings. The porter reported to him and sent a letter on behalf of his wife.

"Sister Mei's letter, come in."

Xiaocui puts the letter in Gu Jiu's hand.

Gu Jiu quickly opened the letter and looked at it.

She frowned.

Sister Mei's daughter had a high fever and coughing, and the doctor was helpless. She went to a doctor in a hurry and asked Gu Jiu. Please take care of your child's diagnosis and treatment.

Gu Jiu dare not delay.

When she ordered her to pack up and follow her to daihou's house.

Take a carriage to daihou house and get off at the second gate.

The people of daihou's house only thought that she came to visit Gu Mei, but did not know that she could cure.Gu Jiu is also too lazy to be wordy with the people of the daihou house, "lead the way ahead, take me to see sister Mei quickly."

She dare not delay and leads Gu Jiu to the backyard.

"Little sister Jiu, you can come."

"Sister Mei, how long have you not had a rest? How is the baby? "

"The child is not good. Look for the child."

When they meet, they don't care to exchange greetings. Gu Jiu follows Gu Mei directly into the bedroom.

The little child was lying in bed, his cheeks red and his forehead hot.

She immediately ordered, "open some windows to breathe, prepare hot water, and high alcohol. All the irrelevant people will go out. "

Gu Mei worried, "little nine sister, is the child still saved?"

"Sister Mei, don't worry. Tell me first, how long has the child been burning? "

"I have had a fever since yesterday morning, and I haven't had a fever yet. I started coughing again last night. The doctor used all kinds of methods, but failed to give the child a fever. I'm dying. What should I do in case the child is in trouble

Gu Mei said and began to cry.
