All-round way to money

Winter is fast approaching.It has been almost three months since I came to Beijing.

Almost a third of the people in the palace changed.Not all of them have two minds, half of them have been sent to work outside.Xiao Yu is in charge of external affairs in person, which is of course different from the housekeeper.Mu Wanru said that she was a housekeeper, that is, she was in charge of the inner house, but there was no master in the palace before, so what is there to manage?For foreign affairs, she just has the power to look at the account books.Once the prince returns to the mansion, the foreign affairs have nothing to do with her.She didn't have a formal wedding, and Prime Minister Mu was an aristocratic style, and there were not many Zhuangzi shops for her dowry, so she just took care of her own dowry.

Dozens of people have also been added to Chu Ran's Linfu Residence and the yard of the material bag, all of which have been screened several times, and half of them are newly bought.Almost everyone in the main courtyard has changed.These few places are not included in the internal affairs and are not under Mu Wanru's management. They are all managed by the prince himself.Chu Ran said that if he doesn't care about the family, he just doesn't care. Chen Fu is a smart man, and within a month, he knows who to curry favor with. The government affairs are always sent to Chu Ran, but she has never received them. This is why Mu Wanru Send it over there.Send it off but send it off, people have a special look, they know what to let over there take care of, and what to ask the prince directly.He was even more obedient to Chu Ran. When Chu Ran spoke, he was definitely one of the first in the palace, ahead of the prince.

Mu Wanru's housekeeper is just a girl with a key. She seems to be in charge of the house. She manages all the trivial matters, and she has no contact with external affairs and major affairs.Chu Ran not only ignored the internal affairs, but also let Mu Wanru go to all the entertainments in the palace, this banquet and that meeting, this mansion had a happy event and that mansion had a funeral, it was all Mu Wanru's business.She never shows up.In this way, it is also convenient for people to live in the house, otherwise it would be difficult for them to entertain the two princesses.

Even the daily greetings in the palace, she didn't go.Don't bother the old lady.Xiao Yu tried his best to go to the palace every day, unless the weather was bad or something delayed him.But they never went their separate ways with Mu Wanru.If Chu Ran doesn't enter the palace, he won't enter the palace, but one thing is, at the end of the month, Xiao Yu will help bring the bank notes to the old queen and queen.Just say it's her filial powder and silver.She doesn't know any court etiquette, she doesn't know how to speak politely, and she doesn't know how to make delicate things. If she knows it, she is afraid that she won't catch the eyes of the two of you, so she can only use the simplest and rude method to give money.What do you like, you two buy it yourself.Or keep it as private money.Anyway, that's what it meant, and Xiao Yu brought the words to him.

But don't think that there is no need for money in the palace, and the old lady and queen have nothing to lack.There is definitely no shortage of things.Silver is still very practical, and there is nothing more practical than this for rewarding people.Then take other people's hands, and collect such money every month, more than 2 taels a year.It's not small money.The old queen was thinking, maybe Chu Ran sent all her earnings to the palace in order to get her old man's approval?

The queen just started to accept, but she is also soft.In the evening, the emperor was invited to the bedroom, and he showed the silver ticket to the emperor, saying that it was handed over by King Ning in Fengyi Palace, and told the emperor what he said.The emperor laughed after hearing this, and told her to keep it, and save it for Shuyi.Shuyi is the first princess born to the empress, and the emperor is almost thirty, and the princess is the only seedling under her knees.He said so, the queen will accept it.

Then these two have the nerve to choose Chu Ran's gift again.I also heard that Mu Wanru is in charge of the Ning Palace.There is nothing to say.Mu Wanru entered the palace to pay her respects, and she also revealed that the prince didn't like her and never went to her yard, and she didn't even see the prince's face in the mansion.

Then if he doesn't like you, try to make him like you!If he doesn't go to your yard, what's the use of telling us?So what's the matter?Can we manage to go to your backyard?How about kissing your son and kissing your younger brother? Can I care which bed he sleeps in at night?

The old lady mentioned something about the heirs.I didn't dare to say it in front of the emperor and queen, I only mentioned it to my son in private.After the front foot finished speaking, the back foot Wangfu came to report the news, Chu Ran was very happy.Gag her mouth tightly.

So what's the point?

Hehehe, let's support it.The reaction was that Chu Ran only paid money and didn't show up.No matter how well-mannered Mu Wanru was, she couldn't find support in the palace.The palace didn't say which side they were facing, the attitude of the three big bosses was very clear, others were secondary, they only looked at King Ning.

What is the attitude of the palace, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and the attitude of the dignitaries of the emperor's relatives and relatives.When there are entertainments, there is no slight in etiquette to Princess Mu, respect and worship.It's the same as the Bodhisattva with the golden body in the temple.But if you want to talk about something, you shouldn't do anything. You can't make decisions for each of them, and you have to talk like the man at home.

It is also convenient for Mu Wanru to go back to her mother's house. She is the head of the house, and no one cares about her. She can go back whenever she wants.She can talk about her grievances with her own mother, Mrs. Mu, but what does Mrs. Mu say?You are in charge of the house, and you are also invisible to the outside world. Everyone recognizes you as Concubine Ning, and the rewards in the palace are the same, so what can you do?As for the fact that there is a man around there to prevent you from seeing the prince, then you can find a way to snatch it yourself.As a mother, I can teach you how to do it, but I can't help you rob people, right?You can't even grab someone like that?Mrs. Mu was worried when she sent her daughter away, did this girl fail too much in teaching?You hold the power of housekeeping in your hand, and the opponent has that vulgar temperament and appearance, you can't handle it?King Ning is lame, but not blind, how stupid are you that you can't even hug someone?

Chu Ran didn't care what little tricks Mu Wanru was doing outside.No matter how much she likes to go, she has been combed several times in the palace, and she can no longer bother her.Then she doesn't care.

Here things are going smoothly in the house, and the business is on track.It was getting cold, and she was trying to get Ning Xin back.The little girl lives happily with her grandparents and doesn't want to go home anymore.Every ten days and a half months, the old empress was going to grandma's house anxiously after living in the palace for two days.

What else can I do, grandma's house is fun.

In the first month, Chu father and the old couple really lived in the house in the capital.Some of Father Chu's colleagues who served in the army back then also made it to the capital, and after thirty years, they can survive an official position.Knowing that he came to Beijing, and with such an identity, no need to trouble anyone, everyone is willing to find him to talk about the old days.So what soldiers can do together is to eat, drink and recall their military career at the border.Chu Niang is willing to entertain her. She married Chu Polu because she valued him as a man who had served as a soldier.What Ning Xin often listened to at her grandmother's house was those things about the border.

Just these things, the old couple are not bored.

But there is something else.The relatives of the emperor, this mansion and that mansion, have a banquet or something, and they all post posts to others. If you don’t give it, you can’t do it. This is King Ning’s serious father-in-law.But, let's go, neither of us is here, and if we don't go, it's not very good.There are also those who want to curry favor and give gifts.It's annoying.The old couple didn't like socializing, so they just moved to live in Zhuangzi when Zhuangzi was about to have an autumn harvest.

Zhuangzi is a big place.It is a farmyard, the oldest one is surrounded by earthen walls, there are hundreds of houses, there is a big martial arts performance, and there is a grain drying field.The world of the old couple suddenly widened, but they finally found the feeling of being the masters.Once I stayed here, I ate farm meals, went to the fields with the tenants to collect grain, and went up to the mountains to hunt for nothing.

Then people are no longer willing to go back to the capital.Anyway, it's not far away, Dad Chu's old friend went to find him, and he can use it more. If you have time, you can live in Zhuangzi, there are plenty of places.All government parties will not send letters outside the city for entertainment, and those who fawn on them will be directly blocked by the porter.Perfect.

Apart from practicing martial arts with her grandfather every day, Ning Xin either went hunting with her grandfather, or went to the fields with her grandmother to collect grain. She was as wild as a monkey with the boys and girls of the tenant family.The empress dowager didn't stay too long when she took over the palace.Then people can still talk, not to say that they don't want to stay in the palace, but to go to Zhuangzi to pick fruits for the old queen and dig lotus canopies.

When Chu Ran and Xiao Yu finally had time to visit Zhuangzi with several carts of charcoal and winter supplies, they realized that they had made arrangements for themselves, and they didn't need to worry about it at all.

Charcoal and firewood were piled up all over the yard. "The charcoal was brought by others. I originally said to buy it. It is enough for me, so I don't need to buy it. Our house is full of kangs, walls and earth dragons, so we don't need much charcoal at all." The firewood is cut back from the mountain. I think it’s a pity that the mountain is so deserted. I cut down all the trees and dug out the roots. In the spring, there are fruit trees. I wrote a letter to my hometown, and I will send it in the spring. Among the trees, hawthorns, walnuts and dates, you can also use them, it’s not better than being so barren? You can also add some licorice and so on..." Father Chu introduced his development plan to his daughter and uncle.

Chu Ran looked at the back mountain more than ten miles away from Zhuangzi. There were no high mountains around the capital, just small hills of a hundred meters.Aren't two of them bare at the moment.Then this is your own.

"That's more than this amount of wood, right? Digging trees is not a waste of money, is it?" It's not an easy job.

Father Chu was very proud, "What's the matter? The garrison camp outside the city is less than ten miles away from here. It's time for military training. Two thousand fire-headed troops came and finished it in three days. Except for the firewood left in our courtyard, Let them go to the camp. This year the camp doesn’t live in tents, and there is no shortage of firewood. We just provided food for three days. It didn’t cost 100 taels in total. My old buddy said that next year’s Spring Festival The tree is also their job, and they are all waiting."

Oh, then you are not young, old man.You are not taking it lightly now, 100 taels is not a big deal!Forgot how frightened you were when you became two pearls?

"What are the benefits of Zhongshu? Why are you looking forward to it?" Chu Ran really didn't know.

Mother Chu knew this question, so she suppressed a smile, "Your father promised to kill three pigs a day."

Oh oh oh, for the delicious food.Three pigs, four to five hundred catties of meat, that's a lot.Very greasy.Chu Ran also smiled, "Okay, then when the spring comes, let's not be stingy, I'll send food and meat, it's good enough to eat and drink."

Father Chu waved his hand, "I don't need you. Such a big Zhuangzi still needs you to deliver food? Is there anything here? Let me show you, don't treat your father and mother here for nothing. , and see how we're doing."

Then he really took Chu Ran and pushed Xiao Yu around Zhuangzi. Today Zhuangzi has harvested the grain, and the capital is in the northwest. The crops are ripe once a year, and the grain is ready for winter after harvesting.The harvest collected from the home, except for the gift to the master's family, is sold and exchanged for money.After Chu's father and Chu's mother came, they didn't sell any food, and they were veterans in the field, and they knew more than Zhuangtou, and this Zhuangtou was an honest and responsible person specially selected by Xiao Yu , and will not embezzle in private.Father Chu led the head of the farm and took the tenants with him to reorganize the land and everything else. He also took out all the wasteland that could be developed and distributed it to the tenants.You can be active, and keep working even in winter.After finishing the land, the pig pens, sheep pens, and rabbit pens were built again.In the past, the tenants were scattered.When people go back to their old profession, they have to hire people's congresses to do it.It was built according to the production on Zhuangzi.There is no need to sell the food, and there is no need to spend extra money to buy it.Sell ​​meat directly.

This is Chu Niang's specialty. She has raised pigs at home for more than ten years, so she is very good at it.

And the lotus pond, what kind of lotus do you see?Pulled out.I rushed to Qiuli to dig out all the lotus root, and the pond was cleared.In the coming year, people will raise fish.You can also raise geese and ducks.Oh, by the way, a chicken coop was built beside the rabbit pen to raise chickens.

People's life these days is really booming
