After sending the servants out, Mrs. Tang went to the accounting room alone and asked how much money was left in the cabinet.

The accountant didn't even look at the account book. He took a wooden box and put it in front of Ms. Tang for her to read.

Mr. Tang only glanced at it and his eyes turned red with anxiety.

Because there were only a few broken pieces of silver and a handful of copper coins in the huge wooden box.

"Why are there so few left?"

"Mother, I was supposed to have more than twenty taels, but today the third master said that he was going to entertain some friends and asked someone to find a job for him, so he took twenty taels from the account, and the rest is not

That’s all…”

"This third brother..."

When Mr. Tang heard this, he was very angry. If traders came to collect debts tomorrow and the family couldn't pay, then their family would become the biggest joke in Beijing!

Thinking of this, Mr. Tang quickly took a golden hairpin from his head and handed it over.

"Lao Fan, hurry up and find a pawn shop to pawn this!"

When Shopkeeper Fan saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Mother!"

"This is your last decent piece of jewelry. You have to leave some dignity for yourself!"

Mr. Tang felt bitter when he heard this.

"What's more decent than decent? First pay for the food at the butcher shop and the market. This is the greatest dignity!"

While the two were pushing each other, Mrs. Feng led two women and walked in carrying a heavy box. When she saw the old servant holding Tang's gold hairpin, she immediately knew that Mr. Tang had trouble making money and had to steal.

I ordered someone to pawn the jewelry.

Seeing this, Ms. Feng sighed slightly in her heart. She never expected that the majestic wife of the founding father-in-law would end up in such a predicament...

Madam Feng stepped forward, took the golden hairpin from Shopkeeper Fan, and inserted it into Madam Tang's head again.

Tang, like Chang Sheng, is also a good-looking person. When Feng caught him pawning jewelry, he hurriedly explained.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. This piece of jewelry is old. I asked Shopkeeper Fan to take it out and have it remade for me..."

Feng smiled slightly when he heard this and joked with a smile.

"This is the jewelry given by the Crown Princess. You actually think the style is old. You are so brave!"

When Mr. Tang heard this, a look of panic appeared on his face. Chang Sheng treated the late princess with great respect. If these words reached the ears of that silly fool, he would really dare to divorce himself.

"Sister-in-law, my brother and sister know that they were wrong, and they were also negligent for a moment. You must not spread the word..."

When Mrs. Feng saw Mrs. Tang being frightened like this, she sighed again.

These two couples are really getting along. They are obviously from a martial arts family, so why did they develop such a timid and fearful character?

In fact, Madam Feng had known for a long time that the two of them were short of money, and she had mentioned it to Chang Sheng several times so that he would not have to keep sending her money every time he received his salary.

After all, Mrs. Feng is also the daughter of Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty, so she doesn't have to live on the Chang family's salary.

However, Chang Sheng, the two idiots, didn't listen. When he got angry, he knelt on the ground and cried, saying that he had robbed his eldest brother of his title, and his sister-in-law would look down on him if he didn't take it.

Mrs. Feng was also annoyed by the second fool of the Chang family, so she kept him for so many years.

But she just kept it without using it at all.

Her own dowry is more than enough to support their mothers, and coupled with the property left by Chang Mao during his lifetime, it is enough for them to live on. There is really no need for the money.

In the past few days, she had seen Mr. Tang rushing around anxiously for the emperor's birthday gift. She was just waiting for Mr. Tang to take the initiative to talk to her, but she didn't realize that this silly younger brother and sister had the same virtue as that silly Chang Sheng. Even if it was urgent now, she would rather pawn her body with only

It's a piece of valuable jewelry, but I don't want to talk to my eldest sister-in-law. It's like I don't think of myself as a regular member of the family!

"Here are two envelopes of silver. You can spend them first."

"I've also ordered people to clear out the Xikuoyuan. You can move it there tonight. When I vacate the main house, you and your second brother can move in."

When Mrs. Tang heard what Mr. Feng said, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, held Ms. Feng's hand and cried.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? But is there anything that my brother and sister did not do well that made my sister-in-law angry?"

Chapter 229: The good Duke’s mansion has made you two live in ruins!

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her hand and slapped Mrs. Tang.

"Confused!"

"As confused as your family!"

"In the past, our family closed the door to thank guests and did not interact with the nobles in Beijing. It was fine for me, a widow, to live in the main house. Anyway, I didn't have to entertain any distinguished guests. " First update @ "

"Today the Third Emperor's grandson paid a personal visit, and it will be spread all over the capital in less than one night. Just wait and see after tonight. In the past, relatives and old friends who couldn't beg for help will be able to break through our family in less than two days."

threshold!"

"If it's just some poor relatives, that's it. If other vassal kings come to visit, will you also take them to your Dongkua Courtyard?"

"You two don't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing!"

"If this spreads out, it's hard to say what outsiders will say about you two, but they will definitely accuse me, Mrs. Feng, of being ignorant. She is obviously a widow, but she wants to occupy the main room of the Duke's mansion. How unbecoming is this!"

Mrs. Tang was really ashamed when she heard this, but she really didn't dare to let her move in.

If she dares to move, will that old-fashioned Chang Sheng still fall out with him?

"Sister-in-law, this..."

Mrs. Feng knelt down, helped Mrs. Tang straighten her messed up hair, and said softly.

"Sister-in-law, please think about your sister-in-law's reputation. She still has two unmarried daughters at home. If my sister-in-law gets the reputation of not knowing how to advance or retreat, how can you tell your two nieces to get married in the future?"

Mrs. Tang knew that these were words to comfort her, but the more she knew about it, the more sour and uncomfortable her heart became, and the tears poured out uncontrollably, hitting the ground one by one, and also hitting Mr. Feng's heart.

"sister in law……"

When Mrs. Feng saw this, she also had tears in her eyes. She quickly took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and quickly wiped Mr. Tang's tears.

"Stop crying, you have to entertain the three emperors' grandsons later!"

"Go back and tell that idiot in your family that our family is different from the past. We can't just close our doors and live our lives. Even if we don't care about my father-in-law's reputation, we still have to save some connections for His Highness the Third Emperor!"

When Mrs. Feng said this, she lay down next to Mr. Tang's ear and whispered in a low voice.

"I heard from my father that His Majesty prefers the grandson of the Third Emperor. This is the last chance for our Chang family to make a comeback. If we miss it, not to mention the title of the Chang family, we will not be able to keep our current life..."

"Our family is connected by blood to the grandsons of the Three Emperors. We will both prosper and suffer when we suffer losses!"

When Mrs. Tang heard what Mr. Feng said, her face was full of surprise...

Their family has been disconnected from the palace for too long. They may not have much contact with the ordinary noble families in the capital for a long time, and they just maintain a superficial friendship.

Therefore, their family really didn't know much about the affairs of the three emperors and their grandsons. They only knew that His Majesty the Emperor was quite fond of the three emperors' grandsons...

"Sister-in-law, my brothers and sisters understand. I promise not to embarrass the Chang family!"

When Mrs. Feng heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

Relatively speaking, she still likes this younger sibling more. After all, Tang is still a bit competitive, and is much stronger than Chang Er's coward.

"Then get to work quickly. Don't let outsiders say that we have neglected the Third Emperor's grandson, so as not to make outsiders laugh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then the brothers and sisters won't be polite to the sister-in-law anymore. Let's spend the money temporarily. Later, when there is money in the account..."

Feng's pretty face turned cold when she heard this, and she interrupted Tang's words unceremoniously.

"If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I will continue to slap your ears!"

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly covered her face. Seeing Mrs. Tang's appearance, Mrs. Feng quickly pulled her up, patted the back of her hand and said.

"Go to work!"

"We don't speak the same language as our family. If we talk about it anymore, it will seem alienated!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then thank you, sister-in-law!"

Feng went out from the accounting room and happened to see Chang Yong and others coming back carrying pigs and muttons and carrying whole baskets of vegetables with a lot of shouts. She quickly stopped them and went forward to check.

"The pork is not too fresh. It should have been killed in the morning and the leftovers were not sold during the day. The mutton is quite good. It looks like it was just slaughtered."

"The vegetables are just so-so, but at this time. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 229: The good Duke’s mansion has made you two live in ruins!

These are the only ones I can buy.”

"Put the pork in the well and hang it for tomorrow. Go to the butcher's shop and ask the boss to quickly pick out a fat pig and kill it. Don't worry about anything else. Just take a small piece of plum blossom meat from the back of the neck.
