Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Haixibo collected 30,000 taels of silver and handed it to Master Gu in person.

His eyes were full of anger, Benbo sold his property, so he made so much money. If Mr. Gu is not satisfied, then you will put Bengbo in jail. But even so, Bengbo can't get more money. .

Master Gu laughed.

The Minister of the Household just asked him to clear up the debts, and to recover a little of the debts more or less.

I thought that on Haixibo's side, it would be good to have one or two thousand taels.

Unexpectedly, Haixibo took out 30,000 taels in one breath, which was a pleasant surprise.

Of course, Master Gu didn't know that there were three or four thousand taels in it, which was Gu Yue's dowry money.

If you have money, you can make money.

Master Gu said cheerfully to Haixibo: My in-laws are too out-of-the-ordinary. How could this official arrest someone, absolutely nothing.

Haixi Bo was full of contempt and sneered, Master Gu has a limitless future.

Just because of this thick skin, when he asks for money, he is an uncle, and when he takes the money, he is a relative. Mr. Gu has a smooth career and is a proper treacherous minister.

Master Gu pretended not to understand Haixibo's sarcasm.

He laughed, My in-laws are busy with official business, this official will not disturb you, farewell!

With a wave of his hand, the yamen officers carried boxes of silver taels out of the Haixi Bo Mansion, and went directly to the Ministry of Households to do business.

The 30,000 taels that Master Gu recovered from the Haixi Bo Mansion turned out to be the largest sum of money recovered by the Ministry of Household in recent days.

The Minister of Hu was overjoyed, and praised Master Gu again and again, saying that Master Gu was a competent official, and the position of the governor of the capital was really too subservient.

Mr. Gu must have a few words of humility, The eldest lord is wrong, but the lower official just thinks that he must not fail His Majesty, be loyal to His Majesty, and share the worries of the court.

Okay! If everyone is as loyal and loyal as Master Gu, He Chou can't clear up the debt.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing gave Master Gu a belly of ecstasy soup, coaxing Master Gu into a dizzy state.

Then when the time comes, he will throw out a new task.

Master Gu took a closer look and could not wait to poke his eyes.

If Haixi Bo Mansion is a super hard mode,

Then the next task is the difficulty level of hell.

Master Gu instantly woke up from the ecstasy soup.

His face was as pale as snow, Is the boss trying to frame this official?

The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce laughed, Master Gu just likes to joke. This official is very optimistic about your talents, so I will entrust you with a heavy responsibility. You are the one who owes this bill.

Mr. Gu wiped his face, Haixibo Mansion still owes nearly 100,000 taels, and Xiaguan can't give up halfway. Xiaguan must continue to collect the debt from Haixi Bo Mansion.

The Minister of the Household said thoughtfully: In the Haixi Bo Mansion, the opening has been successfully opened, and other people will take over the next recovery work.

This officer has arranged another task for you to recover, but I can't bear to watch you and Haixibo turn against each other.

A good in-law, you can't turn your face just because of a little money. If that's the case, wouldn't your girl be very embarrassed.

Master Gu gritted his teeth.

It is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Households is a thief if he grows old and does not die, and he is an old fox.

He had already turned his face with Haixibo, and at this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing pretended to say that he was thinking of him, which was really hypocritical and shameless.

If you really want to think about him, you shouldn't let him be responsible for the debts of Haixi Bo Mansion. Let alone let him be responsible for the task of recovering the arrears of Prince Ning's mansion.

Master Gu's face was ashen, Please forgive me, sir, there is nothing the officials can do about this.

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce looked at Master Gu with a half-smile but not a smile, Really you don't want to?

Master Gu must be certain that he is unwilling to accept this job.

The Minister of the Household tapped the table lightly, and said in a gentle tone, Today, when this official enters the palace to face the Holy Spirit, His Majesty said that most of the officials in the capital are corpses. Officials who serve or cannot serve are dismissed from office, or even exiled.

At the same time, it is necessary to promote a group of capable officials who dare to serve and can serve. With your ability, Master Gu, as long as you are willing to show the ability to clean up the debts of Haixi Bo Mansion, this official recommends you to be promoted. Minister of the Ministry of Housing, waiting for a vacant seat.

Master Gu's face changed again and again, and his eyes were erratic.

How to choose.

The Minister of the Household continued to bewitched, The opportunity is right in front of you. Master Gu, don't miss it. If you miss this time, it is very likely that you will end up in the position of the governor of the capital for the rest of your life. Are you willing?

Mr. Gu is young and strong, of course, he is not reconciled to the end of his career.

He also wanted to go a step further. Like countless scholars, he wanted to go out and enter the center of the imperial court, to be a high-ranking officer and a close minister to the emperor. A word can make the capital tremble.

It can be said that this is every reader's dream.

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce put the bait in front of Master Gu and waited for him to take the bait.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, he simply made a big deal.

This official knows what you are worried about. You are worried about offending King Ning, and you will not be able to stand in the court. This official can tell you for sure that there is no need to worry about this matter. Your Majesty is already tired of all the princes, using the analogy of pigs and dogs. You go. Ask Ning Wangqing to pay the arrears, even if you offend King Ning, your Majesty will be your backer. Even if the lawsuit hits His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be on your side.

Master Gu was dubious, Really?

This matter is absolutely true. Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you should have heard of how Your Majesty treats the princes. Since the crown prince, no prince can make His Majesty look at it differently.

Master Gu frowned, Your Majesty hates all the princes so much, that prince...

We don't care about the prince's affairs. Don't worry, the official at the East Palace has arranged for someone else to settle the outstanding debt.

Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Minister of the Household took the opportunity to hand over the official document to him, Master Gu, take it. This task is yours.

Master Gu's scalp is numb, the thin official documents are like hot potatoes, and he feels that his hands are not his own.

Boss, if Xiaguan successfully clears the debts of Prince Ning's mansion, then I will ask you to spare my life and stop sending tasks to Xiaguan. Xiaguan wants to live a few more years.

The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce said cheerfully, Look at what you said, is it so serious?

Master Gu nodded heavily, only more serious than what he said.

The Minister of the Household promised him: Don't worry, after clearing up the debts of Prince Ning's mansion, this official will arrange some light things for you. This official's promise to you will be fulfilled.

Minister of the Ministry of Housing, a high-ranking member of the imperial court.

Master Gu is heartbroken.

He gritted his teeth and took up this arduous task.

This time, Master Gu did not rashly lead someone to the palace to ask for money.

Haixi Bo Mansion is Haixi Bo Mansion, and Prince Ning Mansion is Prince Lin Mansion.

These are completely different objects, and the nature of things is not the same.

He dared to tear his face with Haixibo, but he didn't dare to hit King Ning in the face.

He also wanted to live a hundred years, and he didn't want to die inexplicably one day.

Master Gu thought about it, but still hit Gu Jiu's head.

He sent the housekeeper to deliver the letter to the palace, saying that he had not seen it for a long time, and that he missed it very much. If you have time, please go home.

After Gu Jiu received the notification from the concierge, he asked the housekeeper Gu Quan to be invited to the flower hall in the east courtyard.

Gu Quan was a little nervous when he came here for the first time.

It was not until he saw Gu Jiu that he finally settled down.

The little man greets Madam.

No gift. Father asked you to come, what's the matter?

Gu Jiu didn't exchange greetings, and asked straight to the point.

Gu Quan bowed and answered, During the Chinese New Year, my wife couldn't go back for some reason, and the master is very sorry. The master hopes that my wife can go back, and the family will be neat and lively.

Gu Jiu smiled, It's not a new year, it's not a festival. When you go back at this time, your family will not be able to gather together. Butler, you should tell the truth with this lady. What is the purpose of the master sending you here?

Gu Quan was embarrassed.

Gu Jiu understood in his heart.

She said: I heard people say that a few days ago, my father took the yamen to block Haixibo at the door of the house, and he successfully got the 30,000 taels in arrears. This 30,000 taels is the largest amount recovered by the Ministry of Household these days. An arrear of money. My father's name has also entered His Majesty's eyes.

Gu Quan lowered his head, Master has been dispatched by the Ministry of Household these days. His busy feet don't touch the ground, and he is exhausted every day. Thinking of the ingenuity of the wife in the past, she has made many suggestions, and this time she will definitely be able to resolve the difficulties for the master.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, So, father is going to pay off the arrears of the palace next?

Gu Quan was in shock, How could Madam know about this?

Gu Jiu smiled, How does Mrs. Ben know that this matter is not important. I'm here to ask you, if my father told me to go back, do you want me to persuade the lord to take the money out and pay off the debt to the household department? ?

Gu Quan couldn't deny it, he could only nod his head to admit it.

Gu Jiu flexed his hands and tapped the table lightly.

One after another, the knocks hit Gu Quan's heart, making Gu Quan more and more nervous.

Gu Jiu's status is unusual now. She is the madam of the palace, and has her own majesty.

In the flower hall, there seems to be an invisible pressure, oppressing Gu Quan. Gu Quan's head was getting lower and lower, and he wanted to lie on the ground and bow his head.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, Go back and tell the master that there has been a lot of business in the mansion recently, and I'll go back to visit him another day when I'm free.

As for the arrears of the household, I will find an opportunity to raise this matter with the prince. Whether it will work or not, I can't guarantee it.

However, the means used on Haixi Bo must not be used on Wang Ye. Haixibo wants shame, your lord, you have to see who is more shameless.

Hearing this, Gu Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the last sentence, a heart was raised again.

He was speechless and couldn't believe it, Your Highness, don't...

Your Highness is really shameless.

Gu Jiu helped Gu Quan and said the unspoken words.

Gu Quan was frightened and looked around. For fear that these words would reach King Ning's ears, and everyone would not be able to eat and walk around.

Gu Jiu waved his hand, Don't be nervous. Don't say these words will not reach the prince's ears, and even if it does, the prince will not do anything.

King Ning broke through the bottom line, and the whole person was not stingy, so he didn't care how others judged him.

Even if he knew that Gu Jiu complained about his shamelessness, he would at most be reprimanded.

However, because Liu Zhao was still in Zongzheng Temple at this time, the prince had a guilty conscience, so he had to be more indulgent towards Gu Jiu.

Gu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jiu suddenly asked, Haixi Bo Mansion, what's going on recently?

movement?

Gu Jiu smiled, Father forced Haixibo to pay 30,000 taels, how could Haixibo be polite to Gu Yue? No news came out? Didn't Gu Yue ask her family for help?

Gu Quan shook his head, Reporting Madam, these days, I haven't heard any news from the third aunt. The third aunt did not send anyone back to the house.

Gu Jiu pondered for a while, and with Gu Yue's temperament, either he couldn't get out of the house, or he was holding back some bad tricks.

She instructed Gu Quan, Remind the old man and his wife that it is time to send someone to the Haixi Bo Mansion to take a look.

She was worried that the Haixi Bo Mansion would kill Gu Yue, and she was also worried that Gu Yue would kill the people of the Haixi Bo Mansion.

No matter who kills who, the consequences are unimaginable.

Because she is alone, it is not a wonderful thing to involve both families.

Gu Quan took the order, and said that Gu Jiu had a good heart and would still think about Gu Yue's safety.

Gu Jiu didn't explain and asked Deng Cunli to send Gu Quan out.

After sitting in the flower hall for a while, Gu Jiu asked Mother Fang, Where will the princess be?

It should be in Chunhetang. The mansion has bought a few new actors who sing songs. The princess is getting excited and asked the actors to sing. The two concubines and all the beauties Shuyuan are also there.

It's only been a few days, and the princess is interested in listening to people sing.

As for Liu Zhao, who was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, no one cared about him except her.

Poor Liu Zhao, messed up so badly.

She asked again, Where's the prince?

My lord is in the tourmaline pavilion, drinking and painting with several gentlemen.

The so-called gentlemen are all guests of the palace. Named guests, in fact, are the advisors of the prince.

Since King Ning was drinking and painting with his advisors, it was not appropriate to go there at this time.

She stood up, Follow Mrs. Ben to the council hall.

She originally wanted to go directly to the accounting room, think about it, or detour a bit, so that she could get the real data.

Go straight to the accountant to check the account, and the other people in the accountant will definitely not sell her account.

After she was busy with the New Year's affairs, Princess Pei did not arrange new errands for Gu Jiu.

Therefore, during this time, she was very idle.

She is also happy to enjoy this leisure, and she doesn't want to take care of things for the time being.

When Liu Zhao is released from prison and sees the situation clearly, it will not be too late for her to seize power.

On the other hand, Ouyang Fu and Xiao Qiner spend a lot of time in the council hall every day, dealing with all kinds of trivial housework.

But the two were happy.

This is right.

As long as the right is in hand, no matter how hard or tired you are, you will not feel tired, but you will feel very proud.

Therefore, when Gu Jiu stepped into the council hall, Xiao Qin'er made a smug look.

Why is my sister-in-law here? My sister-in-law hasn't been here for a long time. You are a rare visitor.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, As the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace, where do you want to go, when do you want to go, and do you still need to report to the fourth siblings?

Xiao Qin'er covered her lips and smiled, Sister-in-law is a tough mouth. If you go to ask the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law sees you with a respectful attitude, and maybe she will send you some errands when she is happy.

Gu Jiu suddenly realized, So the fourth brother and sister's errand was asked for? I'm sorry, my wife never likes to ask for help.

Xiao Qin'er pouted, disdainfully.

Gu Jiu's mouth is tough, and he dares to say that he never likes to ask for help.

Well, one day, there will be a time for you to ask for help.

Gu Jiu found the royal order, The first month has passed, should the expenses during the New Year be settled?

Lord Jialing nodded, I'm looking for someone to make a ledger.

Gu Jiu said: I was in charge of this matter at the beginning. The so-called good start and good end, the account settlement is still done by me. In the end, it is up to the adults to check the leaks and fill the gaps.

Will this be too hard, ma'am?

Gu Jiu said with a smile, It's not hard work. It's about having a beginning and an end in doing things, and my lord doesn't need to worry about me.

The royal family is very busy, and the manpower is not enough. Gu Jiu was willing to help share the burden, but he couldn't ask for it.

A lot of ledgers were placed in front of Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu took out the abacus and started to settle accounts without any distractions.

This busy, busy until dark.

Not only did she calculate all the accounts during the Chinese New Year, she also shared the burden for Ouyang Fu and helped to check the accounts.

Relying on this local account, Gu Jiu scratched his head and calculated the monthly expenses of the palace and a year's surplus.

According to her estimation, there should be no less than 40,000 taels of silver in the account of the palace.

According to the rules of previous years, these deposits will be used to make money.

However, this year, at the beginning of the year, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and too many things have happened in just two months.

Neither King Ning nor Princess Pei dared to throw the money out at this time, for fear of being targeted by the palace.

But Gu Jiu was already eyeing the money.

It's getting dark today and it's too late.

Until tomorrow, she will have to talk to King Ning and Princess Pei to discuss Liu Zhao's treatment.

Gu Jiu handed the ledger home to the lord, and then left the council hall with him.

Xiao Qin'er stretched, looked at Gu Jiu's back, snorted, and muttered, Pretend.

Ouyang Fu persuaded: Fourth younger siblings, be polite when you see your sister-in-law.

Xiao Qin'er smiled contemptuously, Why are you being polite to her? Second sister-in-law, you are willing to curry favor with her, but don't pull me.

Ouyang Fu frowned slightly, My sister-in-law is very nice, you have a prejudice against her.

You're right, I have a prejudice against her. So you don't have to persuade me.
