[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

It is said that the princesses and princesses come and go in and out of Shen's mansion from time to time, Shen Yue quit: "Where do you think my home is, don't you know that my daughter-in-law has to take care of her baby?"This person comes and goes, what should I do if my wife is tired?

Today, he just stared at Shen Yue who was talking about women's morals to him, and he couldn't continue talking, so he said leisurely: "Why don't you see you are so caring about business?"

Hearing that today he is ashamed to say that he doesn't care about official affairs, Shen Yue is so angry, and he has to show a sincere and apprehensive expression on his face: "Yes, I have little talent and little learning, I can't share the worries of a saint, I deserve death." So please Just let me go back to the mansion and think about it. When I go back to the mansion, those women will feel embarrassed to pester my wife every day.

It's strange that he can do what he wants now: "Whether a married woman has a bad virtue or not, you have nothing to do with the empress dowager and queen's teaching. Hurry up and compile the reference book you said yourself. Also, if your brother If you can't get into the first class, I won't let him stay in Beijing based on anyone's favor."

Shen Yue silently withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, thinking that he was not worth it for Brother Xun. That kid Qiu Wei got a higher grade than his elder brother, and he was already considered a young talent.But Shen Yue couldn't guarantee that he would be able to enter the first class - Chun Wei was not just a competition among talented scholars in the capital, it was a single-plank bridge crowded by students from all over the country!

So before returning to the mansion at night, Shen Yue sent someone to deliver a letter to the old house, please ask my brother to come back to the mansion at night.After returning home, he took care of Daiyu, made sure that she was in good spirits and didn't feel tired because she had something to do every day, so Shen Yue went to his study and waited to ask his brother.

Brother Fan went back to the mansion with Brother Xun, Shen Yue was not afraid of many people listening, and said to Brother Xun: "From the spring of next year, Jinshi will not be allowed to stay in Beijing except first-class. But your future daughter-in-law, is As the county lord, he was also raised in a royal palace, and he has never been out of the capital since he came here, so he must not go abroad with you."

After inquiring, I knew why my eldest brother asked me to come back, and asked with a nonchalant smile, "Big brother has no confidence in me?"

It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's that I don't have confidence in the saint who doesn't follow the rules!

Shen Yue sighed: "Speaking of which, I came up with this idea. I didn't expect it to be tested on you first. Can you blame me?"

Brother Fan only smiled secretly, and Brother Xun still had such a careless expression: "Brother is not targeting me alone, so why blame you. I would like to experience the customs outside Beijing earlier. Besides, father It’s not like I haven’t worked outside.”

Shen Yue was still worried: "How old are you."

Brother Fan had already laughed out loud, and Brother Xun gave him a dissatisfied look before comforting Shen Yue: "Brother, don't always treat me like a child, I've stopped asking for candy from Big Brother for a long time. Big Brother was only ten years old when he came to Beijing. I'm seventeen years old."

"Sixteen." Shen Yue habitually counted his age.Brother Xun felt that elder brother was too much of a mother-in-law now: "It doesn't matter if he is sixteen or seventeen, he is still six or seven years older than elder brother."

This dead child didn't appreciate it, so Shen Yue's outburst came up: "No matter what, I still have to study this book often, and try my best to get an A. The old prince valued you back then, didn't he just want his granddaughter to marry closer. "

Brother Fan couldn't hold back his laughter, and seeing his eldest brother looking at him with dissatisfaction, he held back and said to Shen Yue: "Don't worry, elder brother, the county magistrate has already discussed with the second brother about the place of the foreign post."

One brat is tiring, but two brats are simply fatal.Shen Yue couldn't deal with his brothers, so he had to find trouble with a few princes - who told them that today is their own father, who can't compete with the old ones, and can't trick the young ones?

Shen Yue invited the princes to the Hanlin Academy again, and straight to the point said to several people: "You princes are all people with salaries, and you must not be short of the dim sum of the prince and concubine, should you hand it over to me today?"

These princes thought that Shen Yue invited himself to the Imperial Academy because he was so busy, because they saw that the end of the year was approaching, and they wanted to calculate the income of the printing house with their brothers like last year.The princes who were thinking about how much money they could share this year, did not expect to hear that Shen Yue asked them for money, and they all looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Because the seventh prince also got married two months ago, he also stepped into the ranks of debt collection by Shen Yue.The Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince were extremely relaxed, they didn't have any concubines yet, and Shen Yue couldn't collect money from them, so he was happy to see the jokes of his brothers.

The eldest prince stuttered: "Every time your sister-in-law goes to your mansion, she brings a lot of ingredients with her." The third prince and the others also nodded, expressing that their daughter-in-law didn't go to the Shen's house for nothing.

Shen Yue told them calmly: "That's not how accounts are calculated. Princes, think about it, what are the identities of princes and concubines? When they come to our house, from my mother to the servants, no one should be careful, and be careful not to accompany the smiling faces." I still have to think about new dim sum recipes, so that the princes and concubines don’t get annoyed, how much thought do I have to spend?” These have to be counted as money, you know.

The sixth prince is someone who is unwilling to pay a penny: "The things my wife brought to your house are enough for your servants to eat. Isn't that money?"

Shen Yue glanced at him: "I still have two salaries, so I can afford to support my servants. I also ask the sixth prince to inform the prince and concubine when he returns to the mansion, and keep those things in the prince's mansion for his own use."

"Don't." The sixth prince confessed directly.Ever since the concubine started to go to the Shen family to taste dim sum and make dim sum, every day when she returned home, she greeted herself with a smile on her face, even if she didn't care about making trouble with her because of several concubines, she also didn't care about checking whether she was alive again. I have a private house, and I only think about what else I can bake in the oven every day, not to mention the peace of mind.

The princes nodded and nodded in sympathy, hoping that the princes and concubines could continue to eat and drink in Shen's residence.Shen Yue discussed with them, or the princes and concubines could take turns to be hosts, as long as they don't go to their own homes every day.

But the eldest prince directly shook his head: "Your sister-in-law said that going to your house is a mood, and going to someone else's house feels less comfortable than being in your house."

Who do you want to depend on?Well, nothing to say, pay the money.

For the sake of the stability of their own houses, the princes had no choice but to be ruled by Shen Yue, even the eighth and ninth princes who thought they could watch a joke could not escape.In Shen Ren's words, the three princesses also went to Shen's residence. The two of them are the elder brothers of the three princesses, so they should take this responsibility.

The two also argued that the three younger sisters were everyone's younger sisters, but Shen Yue smiled: "I thought that the three princesses would not go there much, so it's fine for the two of you to follow the example of the prince and concubine. The two princes still don't understand the principle of brothers helping each other, so there should be three of them."

The Ninth Prince's grief and indignation were vague: "Brother, tell me again with your mother, I will never marry a princess in my life." Otherwise, I would have paid two and a half people's money.

The eldest prince suddenly regained his mental balance: "You are so good at calculating, why don't you think about it, the younger sisters will get married soon, how many years can you pay them?" So Xiao Jiu, I will definitely tell the queen mother, I will find you a wife next year.

The Ninth Prince thought it was reasonable, so he reluctantly asked Shen Yue: "Then how much money should each of us pay?"

Everyone went to see Shen Yue, and they were very concerned about this issue.Shen Yue purposely wrung his fingers to do calculations, and said after a while: "One person can pay 5000 taels, and I'll accept if it's not enough."

Why don't you go grab it?

The princes can't wait to go up and kick him alone. 5000 taels seems to be a disadvantage to you. Can my wife eat so much?Shen Yue looked at them with a godlike look: "Is the money coming out or not?"

The eldest prince gritted his teeth: "Come out." After speaking, he stood up and walked out, his shoulder bumped directly into Shen Yue's body, knocking him staggering.When Shen Yue just stood firm, the third prince also walked past him, stumbling again.The fourth prince kindly helped Shen Yue, but before Shen Yue could thank him, the fifth prince had already blown by like a gust of wind, and it was the fourth prince who supported him.

Shen Yue looked vigilantly at the few remaining princes: "Let's make an agreement, don't bump into each other if you want to, okay?"

No one listened to him, the fourth prince dutifully straightened Shen Yue and straightened it again, until only Shen Yue and himself were left in the room.Shen Yue smiled gratefully at the fourth prince: "I didn't expect that only the fourth prince is loyal. Don't worry, the fourth prince, you will know in the future that the money is not a loss."

The fourth prince still looked at Shen Yue blankly, and then slowly backed away. Just when Shen Yue thought he was going to sit down and ask himself why the money was not a loss, the fourth prince had already walked towards him quickly. , Shen Yue staggered and stood up, looked at the fourth prince's back blankly, and roared with infinite grief and indignation: "I think you are a good person for nothing. You don't even want to know what the money is for."

Daiyu looked at Shen Yue rubbing his shoulders with grinning teeth, and asked with a bit of distress: "Brother Ai has no money to use? I don't want to ask Brother Ai for his private money, but I just want Brother Ai to use the money to just be with me Said, why bother to make the eldest prince unhappy." The one who said it was his elder brother, but there is a great possibility that he will sit in that chair in the future.

Shen Yue still rubbed his shoulders: "I'm actually thinking, those princes and concubines always come to our house, not to mention that you and your mother are troubled, and it's easy for the villain to take advantage of it."

Daiyu nodded: "Although that's the case, you can't collect money from people so straightforwardly. If the princes and concubines find out, they will probably blame Brother Ai." Money from other people's houses.

"I'm not collecting their money for nothing." Shen Yue smirked at Daiyu: "Actually, I'm building a private house for the princes and concubines." Tell Daiyu about his plan: "Tomorrow if the princes and concubines ask Now, just tell them like this, if anyone disagrees, you can give them the money first, and return it to you after I collect the money from the princes."

Daiyu saw that Shen Yue was star-eyed: "Brother Ai, how do you grow your brain?" It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Being adored by his beloved, Shen Yue was infinitely satisfied, and went to the study to draw drawings with great energy.Daiyu was not idle either, and directly posted a post asking all the princes and concubines to have a gathering at the mansion tomorrow, even the three princesses were delivered.

Others are alright, this is the first time for the three princesses to receive a post from outside, Xingtou came to Shen's mansion early, and must ask Daiyu to tell her what it is to ask her to go to the mansion.But Daiyu just laughed and said nothing, and when the princes and concubines arrived, she smiled at everyone: "Yesterday my husband collected dim sum money from several princes, are the sisters-in-law angry with me?"

It really makes people angry. If it wasn't for a good relationship with you, who would come to your house to play every day?But when you come to play a few times, your husband still collects high-priced money, not to mention the money.The princes and concubines did not speak, even the eldest prince and concubine who had always been close to Daiyu remained silent.

Seeing that the third princess was about to open her mouth, Daiyu knew that she wanted to defend herself, so she told her amusedly: "The money of the three of you sisters was given by the eighth and ninth princes on their behalf, it's not that your money was confiscated."

Only now did the three princesses understand the feelings of the sisters-in-law, and they no longer had the slightest thought of defending Daiyu, and even wondered in their hearts whether the things in their private treasury were enough for so much money.

Seeing everyone's expressions in her eyes, Daiyu said to everyone with some amusement: "It's not that the husband is stingy, it's because the sister-in-laws know that there is always no shortage of bad-mouthed villains in this capital. The sister-in-laws always go to the house, After a long time, I am afraid that there should be people with long tongues. That's why my husband came up with such a method."

The eldest prince's concubine's expression was a little sad: "It's hard for the sisters to be happy together now, talking and laughing together every day. Who knows it won't last long."

Daiyu still smiled, the third concubine stretched out her hand to pinch her tender face, the first concubine pulled her back: "She is pregnant." The third concubine stopped her hand resentfully.

Daiyu then continued: "What my husband means is that it's rare that the sister-in-laws don't dislike our family and are willing to relieve their boredom together. It would be a pity if we just broke up. Therefore, we have to change the way to get some money from the princes. Get together to build a place, and everyone will go there to get together in the future, so you can stop the villain's mouth."

The eyes of the princes and concubines lit up when they heard this, and the eldest prince and concubine said with a smile: "So it was Xiao Shen Hanlin's idea."

Daiyu nodded: "That's right. He was thinking that even with this amount of money, the place can be built bigger and more spacious than our house. When the sisters-in-law go, they don't have to worry about disturbing my mother, and they can be happy at ease. You can also build some scenery according to the wishes of your sisters-in-law, and then bake or make something according to your wishes, without worrying about being laughed at."

The seventh concubine is young and playful. Hearing what Daiyu said, she immediately clapped her hands: "That's good. In fact, every time I come here, I know that the wife in the house must be worried. But it's boring to be alone at home. I just want to talk to my sisters."

The other princes and concubines also nodded, indicating that it was not that they didn't know that they had caused trouble to others.The sixth prince and concubine asked: "If the place is too big and only a few of us enjoy it, I'm afraid the censors will say that we are extravagant."

As soon as this remark came out, the smiles on the faces of the princes and concubines became smaller. They didn't know that Yu Shi was not easy to mess with, and they were afraid that they would give their men more trouble because of this.Daiyu laughed lightly: "This husband has already thought of it."

"What he means is that after it's completed, it won't be just our sisters enjoying it. Ladies and gentlemen in Beijing, if they are willing to pay the dues, they can all play inside."

"This official is not allowed to engage in business." The fourth concubine and the fourth prince have been married for a long time, and they have learned a bit rigidly.

"How can this be considered a business?" Daiyu shook her head to reassure her: "After collecting the membership fees from the wives and ladies, even if we built the garden together, going to our own garden to play is just a pastime."

The hearts of the princes and concubines were put in their stomachs all at once, but no, even if they didn't know what the membership fee was, if they paid the money, it would be regarded as a joint contribution, and if they went there, they would go to their own garden.This is not doing business, absolutely not.

So everyone asked how much the membership fee should be charged for a year. After listening to Daiyu's explanation, the princes and concubines couldn't keep their mouths shut. You are not doing business, what is doing business? This is clearly huge profits!

You need to charge 1000 taels for a gold card, [-] taels for a silver card, and [-] taels for a bronze card. This is only a year’s fee!

Seeing that the way they looked at her changed again, Daiyu came up with a big move: "My husband said, the membership fee collected, in addition to the maintenance of the garden, the monthly silver of the craftsmen, and the expenses of various ingredients, the rest is paid by the prince. How much they contribute will be handled by the princes and concubines."

Who said it was a huge profit just now?The princes and concubines looked at each other with aspirations, and felt that the membership fee could actually be increased. 1000 taels of silver, for people at their level, is nothing more than the cost of a set of appearances. Who doesn't make three or five sets of appearances a year?But in the garden, you can eat and play unlimited times, and you can also make friends. No matter how you look at it, you can earn money.

The three princesses couldn't believe it: "The money came from Brother Eight and Brother Nine, so we sisters don't want it."

Daiyu shook her head affirmatively: "This is the brother's love for the three younger sisters, and it is also the confidence of the younger sisters to build the princess mansion in the future. How can we not? In the future, when the eighth and ninth princes get married, they will get another share, and two more people will just share it." .”

Only then did the eldest concubine wake up: "You came up with such a good idea, but in the end it was our sisters who benefited. How can you make it happen?"

Daiyu smiled: "My husband is just offering ideas, and the princes are the ones who give the money in the end. How can I divide the money from them?"

The eldest concubine would definitely not agree, she only said that this idea is worth more than those silver coins, and she has to agree now that when she gets the silver in the future, she will share half with Daiyu.Others also agreed with each other——this garden will be completed, the membership fee will definitely be collected softly, and it is a matter of gaining profits every year. Compared with taking money in the long run, giving some money to Daiyu will not make them too fleshy pain.

In the end, everyone agreed that [-]% of each person's profit would be given to Daiyu, that is to say, Daiyu would keep [-]% for herself every year.Daiyu replied embarrassedly, saying that before the garden was built, everyone would still come to her house to get together.

However, because the princes didn't know that Jian Yuanzi was coming out, they all stepped forward to restrain their princes and concubines and not let them disturb Daiyu too much.The three princesses were very grateful to the eighth and ninth princes for their money, not only telling their biological mothers, but also telling the truth to the queen.

The queen nodded after hearing this, and at night said to the present: "Shen Yue is the same, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu haven't even gotten married, where did they get the money. I should give it to the two children."

Today, however, he directly rejected the Queen's opinion: "None of the three sisters has a direct brother. Shen Yue's move is also intended to make the boss pay more attention to his sister. You don't have to worry about it. If you have money, why don't you just do it for Yu'er?" Give out a share, so that when others share the money, she won't be able to share it, and Shen Yue will torment the boss and the others again."

The queen never expected that the saint's comprehension ability would drop to such a level: "Yu'er alone has accounted for [-]%."

But now he still shakes his head: "Your daughter is the most noble. If you don't believe me, just look at it. Today, she only agreed to make the eldest daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable. When waiting for the money to be distributed, there is still some pushback. Why don't you give her a copy directly."

The queen herself has no place to use the money, so it is still willing to subsidize Daiyu.After going through the current enlightenment path like this, in the future, if my own daughter-in-law and the eldest princess concubine get more share, it is equivalent to getting more Yuan'er, so I nodded in agreement.

But when the money was sent to Shen's house, Daiyu didn't care that she was pregnant for less than three months, so Fang took her into the palace to meet the queen, and refused to accept the money: "People say that good women don't wear wedding clothes. When I got married, my mother had already given me so much money in the box, and I haven’t moved it until now, so it’s too unreasonable to ask my mother to subsidize it now.”

The queen just looked at Daiyu, and she was relieved when she saw that her complexion did not change due to pregnancy, nor did she lose weight due to morning sickness.He didn't care and said, "This is what the sage asked me to subsidize you. Just keep it, so as not to embarrass yourself when you distribute the money in the future."

After hearing this, Daiyu didn't refuse anymore, but told the queen one of her thoughts: "In the future, when the garden is built, there will be many people who want to pay the dues. I think it's better not to accept everyone's money. good."

The queen nodded quickly: "Naturally. It was originally built to relieve boredom for you sisters. How can anyone put two coins in it. If someone wants to cling to it, it's not to disturb your interest."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Mother, don't laugh at me for being stingy. In fact, I am the main wife, and the Shen family has never had the rules of taking concubines, so I thought, except for the wife of the main room, no matter how many high-ranking adults, That concubine's room cannot enter."

After hearing this, the Queen smiled and said to Fang: "You are used to this, I have never taught you this way."

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said respectfully: "The Shen family's family style has always been like this, and Yu'er's request is not out of line."

"Forget it, I can still do this villain." The queen seemed helpless, but she felt that Daiyu's idea was not out of the ordinary: Speaking of which, the queen is also the sage's first wife, and she has to face those concubines every day, so she doesn't feel uncomfortable.Now that Daiyu has this request, it is just for the sage to take a look. Not everyone likes this concubine.

Even the princes and concubines were all beaming with joy when they heard the empress's words, and they didn't take Daiyu seriously at all.They are very clear, don't look at their men who don't know about building a garden, but when the garden is completed, maybe the side concubines and concubines in the mansion will beg the princes to let them join the club .

When the time comes, hehe.Every prince and concubine was already laughing wildly in his heart.
