Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

The third elder brother looked at the two with a smile, "Elder brother, second brother, do you think you two are naive, like little children fighting for toys." After a pause, he continued, "Three or four-year-old kind. "

"Pfft ha ha ha," Elder Fourteen laughed without any scruples, tears came out of his laughter, little poor boy, Third Brother really dares.Isn't he afraid that his eldest brother and second brother will join forces to beat him up?

The prince is arrogant and can spray you bloody if he is not happy, and the elder brother is not much better, relying on the eldest son to teach this and that.Oh, the third brother offended the two all of a sudden, he really thought the crown prince regarded him as his own brother.I really want to see the prince spray him.

The fourteenth elder brother felt that, based on his understanding of the prince, the prince should be angry next.Unexpectedly, the crown prince just looked the elder brother up and down, and nodded seriously, "Third brother is right, isn't this person like a three-year-old who can't eat candy?"

The elder brother snorted softly: "I am three years old? What about you, one year old?" After spraying the prince, he stopped talking.

Thinking about it, the two of them are a bit naive.In front of his younger brothers, it really damaged the image of his elder brother.This is not good, to be a big brother has to be majestic, otherwise how can the younger brothers be convinced?

He doesn't count on the third brother. This kid has never been afraid of him. The others, especially the little brothers Thirteen and Fourteen, must be suppressed.

Although the eldest elder brother and the prince no longer quarreled, the atmosphere was rare and harmonious. The whole table was very happy except for the ninth elder brother who was absent-minded about eating.The third elder brother stood up and poured a glass of wine for the ninth elder brother, which scared the ninth elder brother into a shiver.

He looked at Elder Brother Jiu meaningfully and pointedly, "Old Nine, there are some things that Third Brother didn't want to talk about at first, it's up to you who you get close to. You are not young anymore, you should be able to help I am responsible for my actions. However, I still say it today. For nothing else, I hope you will think more about those who really care about you before doing something. "

Although the third elder brother didn't say it clearly, the ninth elder brother understood what he meant.He pursed his lips tightly, then took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Thank you third brother, I will."

He knew that the third brother was talking about the old ten.In the past, he always thought that the third brother was quite cool, except for matters related to the prince, no matter what happened to the brothers, he could watch with a smile.Although the current third brother has started to 'care' about other brothers, he still thinks so.

The third brother is afraid that he will hurt the old ten, right?He heard from Old Ten that Concubine Wen Xi had asked Third Sister-in-law to take care of Old Ten before she died. Third Sister-in-law was the opposite of Third Brother. Third Sister-in-law was affectionate. If something happened to Old Ten, Third Sister-in-law would definitely be unhappy.

The third brother is all for the third sister-in-law.

He suddenly thought of the starling who kept saying that he loved Yiming.

He once asked the myna Yue Le what he said at the beginning, and why the myna agreed to Marhui's request.

Myna told him it was all because of Yiming.He said that with Yue Le gone, there would be no one in Amber's Mansion who really cared for Yiming. If he refused to agree to Na Yiming, he would be very worried that Yiming would be matched randomly when she grows up.

But this person who keeps saying he loves Yiming for Yiming, actually quarreled with Yiming during the wedding and even slept with the maid.He didn't expect the starling to only have Yiming like the third brother, but sleeping with a court lady within a few days of marriage, isn't that a slap in the face of Yiming?

Drank the wine in his hand, Brother Jiu thought, maybe Old Ten was right, they never knew the real starlings, and starlings were not as good to them as they thought.

Seeing the deep thought in his eyes, the third elder brother patted his shoulder and left.

There are some things that are too much to say, but too much is too much.

When the elder brothers get together to drink and eat, they are slow to eat. Wan Ning said hello after eating here and left first.After all, there are so many things still stored in the mansion, and someone has to keep an eye on them.

Shi Yahui and Su Mao went back to the palace directly, Dafujin wanted to stay and help, but Wan Ning looked at the children beside her, especially Little Gege, and refused bit by bit.

Da Fujin was also not polite to her, "Our two families are close, so if the third sibling has something to do in the future, just ask someone to come to your door."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When have I ever been polite to you? Seeing that I've caught a cold today, don't freeze my little niece."

After sending Da Fujin to the door, Wan Ning returned to the house.

All the slaves and maids in the room were waiting for her to show her.Wan Ning looked at the boxes all over the yard and said: "First, clean out all the rooms in the main courtyard. I think the west wing room is also big enough. The dowry will be placed in the west wing room."

The third elder brother didn't intend to take concubines, and when the third elder brother's mansion was built, he specifically asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build the main courtyard larger.There are five main rooms in the upper main courtyard of the other Huang's elder brother's mansion, but there are seven in his side, which is fully half larger than others.

Not only the main room, but also the east and west wing rooms. There are five east and west wing rooms in Wan Ning's courtyard.Although five rooms were built, the area is larger than other five rooms.

Brother San originally planned that the east wing room would be brightly lit for future children to live in, while the west wing room would be directly used as a warehouse to store things.

In addition to the large main courtyard, there are two courtyards in the backyard.These two courtyards are left for the daughters to live after they are six years old.Because it is for my daughter, the third elder brother spent a lot of thought when building it. The two yards are quite beautiful.

It's just that before Wan Ning has a baby, one of the yards has been given to Tang Yuan and other maids who serve her temporarily.

A house needs popularity, and it is easy to break if you don't live there.

The servants brought by the third elder brother are all hard-working and capable, with sense, stealing, cheating, and other people's spies are all stopped by Wan Ning.Everyone worked together, and the main courtyard was tidied up in just one afternoon.

Wan Ning lay on the newly arranged carved bed, sighed comfortably, "It's better to be at home." Everything in the palace has scruples, and it is always not so convenient.

It took only one day for Wan Ning to tidy up the third elder brother's mansion, and then asked people to call the manager of Zhuangzi and the shop to check the account books.The servants in her own village are all picked by herself, basically there is no big problem.Occasionally, there were not many people who were greedy for ink, so Wan Ning casually typed a few words and took them over.The third elder brother's Huangzhuang is more troublesome.

These stewards are basically sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Today's Ministry of Internal Affairs is rotten from the root, and it is commonplace to steal, play tricks, and make false accounts.For these people, no matter what background they had, Wan Ning asked Fan Ziping to bring evidence and throw them at the gate of the House of Internal Affairs with great fanfare.

Fan Ziping folded his hands on his stomach, and said in a sharp voice: "Zhang San, the steward of Xiaotangshan Huangzhuang, the nephew of Zhang Jing Zhang, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, made false accounts to trick the master into embezzling Master Mo's 2 taels of silver. He Yun, The manager of the shop in Beijing, the son of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also made false accounts in an attempt to fool the master, and became the shop manager himself. He pretended to be in debt for a shop that was clearly profitable, and embezzled 5000 taels of money from the owner..."

Fan Ziping chose a good time, as it was the time when the Ministry of Internal Affairs was on business, and the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very busy with people coming and going.He didn't go in either, just stood there and read one by one, every time he read a person, his background and what he had done in these years must be revealed clearly.

All the stewards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were named by him were in cold sweat.Someone came forward and said, "Director Fan, Director Fan, calm down and come to the room for a drink of tea." He said and put money in Fan Ziping's hand.

Fan Ziping just looked at him with drooping eyes, and said with a sneer, "What's the matter, are you planning to bribe the manager?"

He came here today because of Fujin's order, and Fujin said that if the matter is done well, he will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver later.The money given by the masters came from the right path, and he felt at ease when he spent it, because he needed money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for anything.Besides, although these people wanted to bribe him, they were absolutely reluctant to give out so much money.

He was so stupid that he didn't want Lai Luzheng's large fortune and wanted theirs.

Fan Ziping snorted coldly: "You are so courageous, you even dare to covet the emperor's things. Our master said that the person was recommended by your Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you have to find your own way to return the money they are greedy for. Otherwise , bring this matter to the emperor."

"It's only been a few years, and you've completely forgotten about the chief manager of the imperial dining room. Would you like our family to help you think carefully?"

At that time, the head of the imperial dining room ransacked the house, and many people in the House of Internal Affairs were trembling for fear of hurting themselves, but now they dare to hit the emperor's elder brother. It can only be said that the birthday man hanged himself and got impatient.

"In addition, these people have also been sent to you. Our master said that what the Ministry of Internal Affairs does is to select slaves for the royal family. If you can't do it well, you don't have to do it. You can go home and eat yourself."

As long as there are people, it is inevitable to be greedy for ink, and the third elder brother has no intention of taking care of it, he just needs to ensure that his hands are clean.

After speaking, Fan Ziping took the people away.When he returned to San Age's mansion, he seemed to be a different person, and smiled as he returned to Wan Ning.

Wan Ning was quite satisfied with his ability to handle affairs, so someone gave him a silver ticket of 500 taels.Fan Ziping was a bit afraid to answer, but Wan Ning said: "If you say it to you, it's for you. Don't worry, even if your master finds out, he won't do anything to you. Besides, you go tell the servants in the mansion, Ben Fujin It's not that stingy, well done, there will be rewards, if anyone dares to steal, rape, play tricks, and learn from those greedy ink, their fate is an example."

Fan Ziping understood Wan Ning's plan in a blink of an eye, and he assured: "Fu Jin, don't worry, this servant knows what to do."

Wan Ning was very satisfied with Fan Ziping's reaction, and also, the butler next to Brother San may be stupid.Wan Ning was relieved to hand over the front yard to him.

After checking these account books, Wan Ning thought that she hadn't entered the palace for several days, so she lowered the sign and planned to enter the palace tomorrow to have a look.

Early the next morning, she packed up and went to Zhongcui Palace.It was also a coincidence that Concubine Rong was walking outside Zhongcui Palace when she arrived, and Concubine Tong was next to her.

Concubine Tong said: "Since Sanfujin left the palace, she hasn't been in the palace to visit my sister for a few days. Fortunately, my sister was so kind to Sanfujin before. Sanfujin should not have been like this."

Concubine Rong glanced at her, and said calmly: "Concubine Tong, you don't have a son, I'm afraid you don't know how easy it is to leave the palace and open a mansion. There are many things to be busy here. After all, it is a new mansion. , the whole house needs to be cleaned, and the garden also needs to be tidied up. The Huangzhuang shop and the dowry shop can't be finished in a month."

Concubine Tong snorted coldly in her heart, Concubine Rong slapped her swollen face to pretend to be fat. She didn't believe that Concubine Rong felt comfortable if San Fujin didn't come.Maybe how to curse each other in my heart.

Thinking of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breaking up, Concubine Tong was even happier.She shook her head and said: "You can't say that. Zhuangzi's shop can be tidied up slowly in the future. How can it be compared with filial mother-in-law if they are all dead things."

Concubine Rong didn't take it seriously, she looked forward a few times with her head, looking for Wan Ning's figure.While answering Concubine Tong, "I am not too old to move and need my daughter-in-law to take care of me. Besides, everything depends on the daughter-in-law, what do these slaves do."

It was at this time that Wan Ning appeared in front of Concubine Rong.The nurse next to Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Ma'am, someone is here."

Concubine Rong glanced at Concubine Tong with a smile, and led the people to Wan Ning's side. She looked Wan Ning up and down, "I'm thin." Wan Ning took her hand, "Er Niang, you've lost weight anywhere, don't you You know how good my food has been these past few days." When passing by Concubine Tong, Wan Ning let go of Concubine Rong's hand and saluted her, "Concubine Tong, please."

She tilted her head and looked at Concubine Tong, "Thank you, Concubine Tong, for taking good care of Er Niang. I happened to bring some specialties from Zhuangzi to Er Niang, would you like some?"

Concubine Rong suppressed her smile and nodded seriously, "Wan Ning did the right thing, we should thank Concubine Tong very much. Now, mother, go to my warehouse and take out two horses of good material that the emperor rewarded two days ago. To Concubine Tong."

She intentionally emphasized the words 'Emperor, Reward'.If I remember correctly, Concubine Tong has not received a separate reward from the emperor for a long time.Others would think about what they did not do well to offend the emperor, but Concubine Tong didn't realize it at all, and was still jumping around.

She thinks she is so great, but she doesn't know that everyone regards her as a joke.

Wan Ning finally entered the palace, and Concubine Rong didn't hold on to Concubine Tong, and took Wan Ning back to the house after saying that.

Returning to her place, she said, "I heard that you guys made a big fuss in the House of Internal Affairs yesterday, what's going on?"

Concubine Rong was very worried because there was a lot of discussion about this matter.She originally planned that if Wan Ning didn't come, she would be summoned.Seeing Wan Ning now, she couldn't wait to ask.

Wan Ning said: "Breaking havoc at the House of Internal Affairs? Who said that there is nothing wrong. We are not out of the palace, we just want to see the stewards of Zhuangzi to check the account books. Who knows those stewards of Huangzhuang Dishonest, actually greedy for ink." Speaking of this, she felt a little indignant, "Emiang, you don't know, in less than three years, their greedy money starts at ten thousand taels, and the sum of a few managers is as high as 10,000+ taels.”

The Huangzhuang given by Kangxi was not given after the wedding, but before the two got married.Before the big wedding, the monthly money of the princes was not high, and he was also worried that his daughter-in-law would lose money and lose face, so he gave the property early.In this way, the sons will have confidence when they get married.

The third elder brother's Huangzhuang was given the following year after the imperial edict of marriage was issued.It will be three years until they get married and come out of the palace with all their money.

After saying this, Wan Ning added another sentence: "This is just the chief steward. The daughter-in-laws of the second stewards and junior stewards haven't seen each other yet, but they don't seem to be clean. So let me let Fan Ziping throw them away." We have arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

These people dared to be so bold as to covet Brother Huang's money, and they knew there was someone behind it.It is kind to throw them back.

10 taels, that's not all, Concubine Rong gasped.She said bitterly: "These slaves are really bold, and they should be taught a lesson. You don't have to be afraid, go ahead and do it boldly, Er Niang supports you."

If it's a small amount, even three to five thousand taels of Concubine Rong must let Wan Ning forget it.After all, when she was just out of the palace, she tossed the servants and made a fuss, others would say that she was harsh and unreasonable.This move is tens of thousands, 5000 taels of silver, if it is forgotten, those slaves will only get worse.At that time, they will not serve the master, but the master will serve them.

Wan Ning said with a smile: "I told our master about this, and the meaning of the master is also not good. We were also worried about Er Niang hearing some rumors, afraid that Er Niang would be worried, so I went to the palace to inform Er Niang."

"It's just that I didn't expect that it took two days to deal with the slaves, and my mother was made fun of."

Concubine Rong waved her hand, not caring, "You don't know Concubine Tong, she is just idle. She has always regarded the imperial concubine as something in her pocket, and now that the imperial concubine is mine, can she be willing? Even without this Things, she also has to say a few sarcastic remarks every now and then."

Concubine Tong is also quite interesting, just like the cockroach that can't be killed.Every time I come to her, I can't get any cheap, and I get more and more frustrated. I always like to come to her to find fault.

Concubine Rong chuckled a few times, "Life in this palace is like this, and fortunately there is Concubine Tong to relieve Er Niang's loneliness."

She was telling the truth, without Concubine Tong, this palace would be a pool of stagnant water, which would be very boring.

Wan Ning laughed out loud, Concubine Rong obviously took Concubine Tong as a joke. "Er Niang, as long as you like it."

Wan Ning was chatting with Concubine Rong here, and the emperor of Qianqing Palace also summoned the third elder brother. His reason was not for anything else, but also for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kangxi prided himself on being merciful, and he felt a little ashamed for the boss to berate his servants with great fanfare.He planned to call the third elder brother to ask, "Third brother, I heard that how many slaves did you have someone throw into the House of Internal Affairs?"

Kangxi didn't know the details, but only knew that the third child had thrown away his servant.He said: "The water is so clear that there are no fish. As a superior, sometimes you just turn a blind eye to some things, and let everyone get along."

The third elder brother looked at him carefully for a moment, and then said: "So, Khan Ama thinks that being greedy for more than [-] taels of silver for three years is 'tolerable'?"

Kangxi was stunned, he raised his voice, "What did you say? 10 taels?"

The third elder brother nodded. He had already guessed that the emperor would ask about this matter, so he was already prepared.Presenting the evidence in his hand, he said: "Khan Ama, these are the confessions of those servants."

Kangxi took it and flipped through it, his face became darker the more he looked.

At first glance, these people don’t seem to be greedy for ink, but they spend more than one hundred to fifty taels a month, but they can’t last long.

The third elder brother gave him another blow, "My minister only investigated the chief steward, and only those who were corrupted were sent back to the House of Internal Affairs. The rest of the greedy ones were only worth ten thousand. I just asked them to return the money that was corrupted. Not even a punishment."

He also understands the reason why the water is so clear that there are no fish. He also knows that there may not be clean people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he only sent those few leaders back.
