Chapter 24 The Emperor's Reward
Jiangzhou returned home dejectedly. The servant at the door was a step late in helping him get off the sedan chair, and was scolded by him.
Today, the house arrest was lifted, and Jiang Hao went out to have fun early in the morning. He was going crazy after being cooped up in the mansion for a month. He was not crazy, but the maids in the yard were.
In this month alone, five maids have been ruined by Jiang Hao.
Aunt Qiu knew about this but kept it a secret. If Father Jiang knew about it, there would probably be another big fuss.
Of the five maids, those who were willing to stay and become concubines stayed, while those who were unwilling to stay gave silver, released their indentures, and were sent away.
I thought that after the house arrest was over, I would buy a few maids from the boy.
Jiang Wan couldn't stay in the mansion either. She hadn't seen the Prince of Jin for a month and was afraid that something might happen to her, so she sent an invitation early in the morning to invite Qin Yunzheng to have tea.
When Father Jiang returned to the mansion, Aunt Qiu came in with tea. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she massaged his shoulders considerately and asked, "Master, are you tired?"
Father Jiang said solemnly, "The missing part of the dowry will be converted into cash. You should prepare it as soon as possible."
When Aunt Qiu heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and her gentle voice became a little sharper, "Master, what do you mean by this? Are you going to give the silver to Jiang Yuan? Master, you can't be confused, that's more than 100,000 taels.
We can't agree to it. What can she do to us? She, Jiang Yuan, asked her biological father for money. If this gets out, she will lose her reputation.
Even though she has the support of the eldest princess, she cannot..."
Listening to Aunt Qiu's shrill voice chattering, Father Jiang's head hurt even more. He slammed the table, scaring her and interrupting her chattering.
"Master..." Finally realizing that something was wrong, Aunt Qiu called out in a low voice tentatively.
"It's not that dead girl who wants it, it's the imperial court." Jiang Zhou jumped up from his chair and shouted angrily.
"The court, this, this is a family matter, the emperor can't..."
"Jiang Yuan donated all her dowry to be used as military funds. Prince Anyang is in charge of this matter."
"What, donated?" Aunt Qiu screamed so loudly that it hurt Father Jiang's ears. "What are you yelling about?" He yelled at her.
At this time, Aunt Qiu could no longer care and continued to shout in disbelief, "It's impossible, she could have donated all that money.
Master, don't fall for her trick. It must be her collusion. The Princess and Prince Anyang, Jiang Yuan promised them benefits. It must be, Master, you must not be fooled by them."
Jiang Zhou was so annoyed that he slapped Aunt Qiu in the face, "Shut up, this is what the emperor said, it was said in the court.
In short, if you don't want to die, quickly pay up the dowry."
Aunt Qiu was stunned by the slap. She covered her face for a long time before she came to her senses, her eyes filled with tears.
"But sir, there was a thief in our house, and a lot of things were stolen. That can't be blamed on us."
Jiang Zhou stared at Aunt Qiu with his eyes wide open, which made her feel uneasy and she took a few steps back.
“You said before that I ignored you, did you think I was a fool? The whole house is under house arrest, who stole it?
The lock was not broken, so why didn't the thief steal everything?
You searched for the thief in the mansion, didn't you? Ah, I won't bother with you. Prepare the silver as soon as possible. Don't think I don't know what you are doing behind my back."
Aunt Qiu had no words to grievance. When she opened the door of the storehouse with Mother Cui that day, she discovered that 50,000 taels of silver notes had been lost before the birthday banquet.
That day, a small box of gold ingots, two small boxes of silver ingots, a box of silver bills, a box of eastern pearls, gold jewelry, and a box of loose silver and copper coins were missing from the warehouse. All the loose silver was taken away, and in such a big box, only a dozen copper coins were left lying alone at the bottom of the box.
If you calculate it, there must be tens of thousands of taels. This was stolen, so it can't be blamed on her. However, Jiang Zhou was right. She searched the whole mansion but couldn't find the thing. The whole mansion was under house arrest and no one could go out. Could that thing have grown wings and disappeared?
She was also very puzzled. Normally, the silver needed two servants to carry it. How did the thief steal those things silently? Or did the thief come to steal every now and then? What sin had he committed? Did he only target their family to steal?
The emperor's decree was delivered to the marquis's residence as soon as the court was adjourned.
There was an imperial edict and a rosewood box. When it was opened, there were two deeds inside.
One is the deed to a house, and the other is the deed to a shop on the street.
The princess looked at the deed and said with a smile, "The emperor is quite generous this time."
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, as she had no impression of either place.
The princess explained, "This house is not big, but it is not far from the Marquis's Mansion and has a great view. It was the former residence of Mr. Zhou, the current governor of Huaizhou.
Lord Zhou was the top scorer in the spring examination in the second year of the founding of the dynasty, and was the first number one scholar in the Dayu Dynasty. This was the house awarded to him at that time. Later, Lord Zhou was transferred to Huaizhou, and the house was taken back.
The location of the shop is also very good, right next to Tianxianglou, with two floors, which is great for whatever business you do. "
Jiang Yuan was very happy when she heard this. This house was great. It was the house where the first number one scholar lived. It had good meaning. She quickly cleaned it up and asked her elder brother to move in to share in the good fortune.
Qu Ying was also very happy and insisted on going to see the house with Jiang Yuan.
Back in the room, Jiang Yuan had a letter with two silver bills enclosed, and asked the guard to deliver it to Jiang Huai.
She is not very rich now, but she is not short of money. The money she stole from the Jiang Mansion is enough for her to squander for a while.
He sent Jiang Huai a lot of things one after another, including new clothes, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as banknotes, etc., just to reassure him.
In addition, after meeting him a few days ago, I knew that Jiang Huai also wanted to develop his own circle of contacts, so money would be even more indispensable.
She stole a lot of things from the warehouse, exchanged the silver for banknotes, and gave most of them to Jiang Huai.
Qu Ying became impatient and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yuan out. The chrysanthemum viewing banquet was just a few days away, and she wanted to pick out some jewelry for Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan also wanted to buy some things. She was going to prepare to earn money. Only the calming incense was not enough. The chrysanthemum viewing banquet was a good opportunity, so she had to make some preparations.
Qu Ying was very excited and wanted to go to the jewelry shop first, but Jiang Yuan pulled her into a small teahouse.
After waiting for a while, a familiar-looking person entered the embroidery workshop next to the teahouse.
Seeing this, Chunzhi followed her into the embroidery workshop.
Qu Ying was a little curious, blinking her eyes and waiting for Jiang Yuan's explanation, "That's the mother of my two sisters."
"You have two younger sisters?" Qu Ying was stunned. She didn't know much about the Jiang family and had never heard of it before.
Jiang Yuan had moved to the Marquis' Mansion for half a month, and she had never mentioned that she had two younger sisters. "How many children does Lord Jiang have?"
Jiang Yuan replied, "Six, and two illegitimate sisters, twins, who are five years old this year.
Aunt Juan was originally a maid and had no status in the mansion. Her two younger sisters had never been out of the house, and few people knew about her.
When I left for Huangjue Temple, Aunt Juan asked my two sisters to send me some freshly made snacks and some loose change. "
After Jiang Yuan gave a brief explanation, Qu Ying understood that this aunt and her two younger sisters should be good people.
