Chapter 134

Mrs. Li is unloading the red lacquer door boards on the second door one by one, while the wives waiting to enter the house have already formed a long line outside the second door.

Some of them saw Zhang Qing's family coming out of the inner courtyard. Some of them said hello enthusiastically, while others questioned in a low voice: "why is she so early every day?"

"Oh, don't mention it, she and her husband are all the red men in front of the princess," someone whispered, "who is not blind? At least she has finished her work every day, hasn't she? "

Just then, they found that some of Zhang Qing's family were proud to glance at them in this direction, one by one scared to silence.

Looking at the distant figure of Zhang Qing's family, Lanyi came out from the corner where she was hiding. In order to wait for this time point, she had been waiting for almost half an hour. She was really cramped.

"Hum, hum..." she cleared her throat and went out, looking at the old woman and daughter-in-law who were waiting outside the second door. "In a few days, the house will meet the new people again. The meaning of shizifei's wife is that everything must be cleaned up, and no one can see the joke. My wife said that she would take someone to check it today. If you clean it up, you will be rewarded five Liang silver each. If you do it carelessly, you will be severely punished! "

Those women and daughters in law who are in charge of sweeping and sprinkling in every courtyard of the government listen to this

There are also five taels of silver reward, each one seems a little excited: there are still several hours left, where can not clean a yard.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Lanyi bent her lips slightly, then pretended to be back in the bamboo garden. But when she passed Tianxiang courtyard, she picked up one that nobody noticed, and jumped into the courtyard of Tianxiang courtyard.

Jiang Wanzheng, who is eating prematurely, is sitting in the warm pavilion between the East ends of the main room of Zhuyuan with a book.

Xiao Ruixuan arranged a small study for her to pass the time when she was bored.

She sat in front of the open window lattice. Although she was holding a book in her hand, she looked at the lotus leaves that were as green as jasper through the window screen.

Xia Yi came in and said, "the financial uncle of the outer courtyard is coming. He is waiting for you in the flower hall."

On hearing this, Jiang Wan immediately put her shoes on the Kang and went to the flower hall.

Uncle Cai looks about 40 years old, slightly fat, wearing a dark blue cotton shirt, a pair of small eyes shining at any time, it doesn't look like a fool.

As soon as he saw Jiang Wan, he bowed at a distance and said, "I heard that madam is looking for me?"

Since Xiao Ruixuan can let him take charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard at the same time, he must be highly valued.

Jiang Wan didn't dare to neglect him, so he asked him to sit on the chair in the flower hall

Let small servant girl after serving tea, just ask about half a month later accept son side imperial concubine to prepare matter.

"Uncle Cai," Jiang Wan and Xiao Ruixuan said respectfully, "you know that I am young and have never experienced such a thing, so I hope that uncle Cai will remind me more about this matter, and you have to worry about the preparation. After all, the two new people are all given by the Emperor, and I don't know whether the old rules I knew before are in line with the rules."

As soon as he heard this, he knew that Jiang Wan had put himself in the position of a younger generation and asked for advice from himself. He didn't have the ability to set up his wife.

He got up and took out the stack of books he had brought with him. He was obviously well prepared.

He pulled out one of them. From the cover and the yellow paper, it was obvious that it was old many years ago“ Since King Jin opened the house alone, only Mrs. Jiang was brought into the house according to the regulations of concubines. " As he said this, the financial uncle helped Jiang Wan to look through the account books and said, "... At that time, Mrs. Jiang spent less than 600 taels of silver on bed covers, flower candles and utensils. He invited four tables and spent two hundred and twenty taels of silver. "

The financial uncle added with a pause, "it was my brother who was in charge of the accounts before. I remember he told me that when Mrs. Jiang first entered the mansion, the princess of Jin gave her a red gold headband inlaid with South Pearl and a pair of blue stone headbands

A red gold hairpin and a pair of red gold twisted silk bracelets are worth more than 400 taels of silver. "

The total cost is less than 600 taels of silver, one third of which is banquet!

"Mrs. Jiang... Was she also ordered to enter the government?" Jiang Wan can't help but wonder.

"That's not true." The financial uncle shook his head. "Mrs. Jiang, Princess Jin, is right. She wants to bring her to the palace to be his concubine."

Forced to be carried in? Why is the princess of Jin so overbearing?

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, but suddenly thought that his last life was not exactly carried into the prince's residence by Jiang Yi.

So she asked, "what? Is Mrs. Shi in the mansion very powerful? "

The financial uncle is tiny a Leng, smile a way: "the son imperial concubine madam how know?"

She didn't answer her question directly, but it also confirmed her guess from the side.

"But Mrs. Shi has two sons, and our princess Jin has such a son as Xiao Ruixi." Uncle Cai whispered.

That is to say, the reason for Mrs. Jiang's entry into the government is likely to be the same as that of the previous generation. Since that is the case, the specifications for her entry into the government may not be very referential.

"Well, I'm afraid we have to add a little more." Jiang Wan thought about it

First of all, after all, the newcomers to the palace are royal gifts; Second, there are two of them. That is to say, we can't completely refer to the situation of Mrs. Jiang in those years. "

The financial uncle also nodded: "I think so, so I plan to double the budget again. It's just that the banquet is enough for four tables. Shiziye has lived in the capital for many years, and not many people will come to drink this drink."

Jiang Wan listened carefully and felt that this arrangement was very good, so he asked about the layout of the new house.

"The two courtyards behind the pine garden have been repainted, with new window screens and hangings..." the financial uncle talked to Jiang Wan about everything in detail, which made Jiang Wan want to come and have a look.

At this time, Xiayi came in quietly, stood beside Jiang Wan and said, "madam, it's almost time."

"Oh? How time flies? " Jiang Wan looks at the self ringing bell on the side note unexpectedly.

But the financial uncle stood up and bowed slightly: "since madam has other arrangements, I'll leave first."

Jiang Wan thinks of the situation he asked Lanyi to set up. If he had a financial uncle as a witness, it would be the best.

So she politely invited: "I don't know if my uncle has time to check the yard with me, although she said that the new couple will live in the yard

Wrong, but we have to clean up all the courtyards in the mansion so that we can open the door to welcome guests. "
