Chapter 248 Must get something

"Is Yijie okay?"

"Do you still know how to ask?"

"I"

"How kind she is to you, how kind she is to our family, as long as you ask for it all these years, why didn't she get it for you?"

"Didn't father give her one hundred thousand taels of silver every year?"

"That's because she cured your younger brother's illness. Could it be that the money given to the benefactor by your mother's family is also yours?"

Wang Jiaru bowed her head when she was told, Madam Wang sighed.

"Father, mother, let's not mention this matter, Mrs. Qiao is not a stingy person."

The old man gritted his teeth, thinking in his heart that she was not stingy, but he stopped talking to Wang Jiaru.

At dinner, the family sat together and ate. More than half of the table was brought from Qiao Mai's house. Wang Jiaru wanted to eat with it, but the old man took the chopsticks away with a cold look.

"These things are eaten by us rough people. You and your children should eat thick and thin ones. If you are not used to eating at home, go back to your palace."

"Grandfather, why are you talking to me like this, my granddaughter is also a princess."

The old man flicked his chopsticks, "What? You want to put on airs like a princess? Do you want me to salute you?"

"Granddaughter dare not"

"I think you are very brave. After a few years of marriage, I don't know you anymore."

"Grandfather, she is just a mud-legged person, why do you always turn to her, and I am the princess, the princess."

The old man stood up, and he suppressed his anger, "I think back then, grandfather's grandfather was also a mud leg, and you are also a descendant of a farmer. Let's not stop this for now. Feel your conscience and ask yourself, when you swore, how did you How did you swear to God, she did it, did you do it?"

"I"

"The old man really didn't expect, where did that innocent and lovely Ru'er go? I haven't seen you for several years, and now you have become like this. You really let me down."

"Grandfather, me!"

"Since you look down on her so much, don't use the things she gave you. Several of the things you wear on your head and body are hers."

"I!"

"Hmph, our royal family lives in the Acropolis occasionally. We don't want to be promoted, but just want to live in peace. From now on, you will be your princess, and we will be our ordinary people. Well water is not like river water. I hope you can do your own thing."

Mr. Wang left, and the old lady also stood up, looking at Ru'er disappointed.

She shook her head, sighed, and left silently.

Wang Zongsheng had a sullen face, "What do you do with the 150,000 taels of silver I give you every year?"

"It was used to subsidize the palace"

"His palace has no money, so he wants you to subsidize it?"

"Father, don't look at the superficial grandeur of the palace, but there are so many people to support, I"

"Enough, people in the palace of silver are not alive? Starting next year, I will not give you any more silver"

"Daddy"

"Don't think I'm a fool, you spend money everywhere when you have money, food, clothing, everything must be extremely fine, am I right?"

"Father, are you checking me?"

"Yeah, I'm going to check you, so you should treat it like I'm checking you. You know that the money given to Mrs. Qiao has never been spent on herself. Except for the common people, she used it for the common people. She helped her husband She raised hundreds of poor people and hundreds of disabled soldiers. She bought all the wasteland in Shexian County and planted all the trees. In order to change Shexian County, how much did she and her husband pay? What about you, what did you do?"

"I"

"Flourish, eat, drink, and wear. Don't forget why the little prince fell in love with you at the beginning. If you continue like this, maybe one day your position as princess will be lost. You are a high-married woman." , there is nothing we can do, if you are just a hurt child crying to your parents, then let us listen, after your grievances are over, you should go back to the capital, dad just wants to remind you that you should grow up and mature. "

After speaking, Wang Zongsheng also left, and only Mrs. Wang, Wang Jiaru and two children were left at the table.

Wang Fu didn't know what to say, "Jiaru, what your grandfather and your father said makes sense. You are already the mother of two children, so you can't think about eating, drinking and having fun every day. You know, if you don't change, your children will not change." One day in the future, you will change from a concubine to a concubine, and you will be slowly disappeared by the palace because of illness. This kind of thing is common in the capital. After all, our family is only a fourth-rank official. As long as the palace wants to do something, we can't protect you Yes, stop being childish."

After a meal, they broke up unhappy. Mrs. Wang, who loved her daughter so much, was extremely disappointed in her at this time.

From this day on, the old man and the old lady stay indoors every day, Wang Zongsheng has to go to the Yamen, Mrs. Wang has to look at the family property, Zihan has to go to school, everyone is very busy.

Wang Jiaru was very bored at home with her two children, but when she thought of Li Longji, who was concubine in the capital, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Thinking of Qiao Mai, she felt that Yijie should come with her grandfather when she heard that she was coming.

No matter what, she is also a princess now, so let's see that she doesn't have a lot of meat, and she is very arguing about what to do.

So she edited a book and invited Qiao Mai to Fucheng for a gathering.

Qiao Mai took the letter, glanced at it, and said to the visitor, "Tell your master, if there is something at home that you can't get away with, you won't go."

After the messenger brought Qiao Mai's words, Wang Jiaru was so angry that he threw his teacup on the ground.

"I really don't know how to catch her. If I didn't come back this time and asked her for something, she really didn't want to talk to her."

So he edited another book and sent someone to send it over.

Yuan Jiaqi happened to be at home this time, and the two of them were collecting vegetables in the greenhouse. As soon as the New Year came, the vegetables sold out very fast. Many wealthy families did not come out to buy vegetables during the Chinese New Year, so they would buy a lot and store them at home.

The three tenant farmers of Qiao's family have made a lot of money this year because they are willing to spend their money and face themselves to learn.

The price is the same as Qiao’s food, there are highs and lows, and the shopkeeper keeps an account of how many cattle are sold, and they will not be greedy for them. These three companies also trust Qiao’s very much, and they never talk too much.

Qiao Mai came out of the greenhouse, glanced at the messenger, took a look at the letter, and laughed angrily at the contents of the letter.

Yuan Jiaqi took it over and read it again, "She asked you for something again?"

"Yeah, it's free every time, but I haven't bought those things in these years, so I don't have any."

Qiao Mai looked at the messenger, "Go back and tell your master that the item she asked for was not available three years ago, and it has been out of stock."

"Here, how do I go back and deal with the master, the master said that he must get the things."

"I don't have one here, I can't change it out, come here, send him out"

Just like that, the messenger was kicked out by the mother-in-law in disguise. When Wang Jiaru found out, she was furious.

Just when she was about to scold someone, Mrs. Wang rushed over, but she didn't curse out what she had said.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I heard you're angry again, what's going on?"

"fine."

"All right? Why did you send someone to Qiao's house to deliver a letter to Mrs. Qiao?"

"Didn't you just ask her for something?"

"What, you dare to ask her for things again. The things you have taken from her over the years are almost more than the dividends we gave her."

"Mother, I, a dignified princess, want something from her because I think highly of her."

Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Jiaru in shock. Is this still her daughter? How did it become like this? In five years, no more, no less, a good girl has become like this, she really can't believe it.

"What do you want from her?"

"Just a few sets of shiny jewelry, a few horse skirts, and her double-sided embroidery."

"Then do you know that a small hair accessory of hers can be sold for 10,000 taels of silver in the capital? How much silver do you need for several sets of jewelry?"

"Mother, can you stop talking, just forget it, why are there so many things?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked by her words and took a few steps back. She said with tears in her eyes, "I really raised a good daughter." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
