The first thousand and forty-six chapters have many thoughts
During breakfast the next day, Yuanjiang didn't feel anything strange. She came to Liao'e Hall to greet Mr. Ke and had a meal as usual. Then when Chenshi set off, Yuanjiang was dressed neatly as usual and was with all the sisters-in-law.
We took a bus to Da Sinong Mansion.
However, when boarding the bus, Yuanjiang's steps were still a little hesitant and preoccupied, and her eyes were a little more uneasy and uneasy.
Ke was in high spirits, not showing any sign of laziness after being pregnant for many days, and she boarded the car and followed her in high spirits.
But as he was getting on the bus, he glanced at Yuan Jiang a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Gong Yueyue paid close attention, always feeling that Yuanjiang's abnormality was closely related to Ke's.
As usual, Zhai Yuan's mother stayed close behind Gong Yueyue and followed her.
Since Da Sinong's Mansion is also located in Buguangli, and Wen Jiang is her sister, each of Wu's sisters-in-law only has one personal maid with them, and Gong Yueyue goes out to visit with Xin Hui as usual.
But Dalang, the head of the dance palace, was not at ease. Due to the kidnapping of the eighth sister-in-law a few days ago, the dance palace sent extra manpower. The soldiers of the Qu family escorted several clear oil trucks all the way to the Dasinong Mansion.
.
At this time, a line of various carriages had already been parked outside the tall Shique Mansion of Da Sinong Mansion. As soon as the carriages and horses from Xipinghou Mansion arrived, servants and servants immediately came forward to lead everyone into the mansion, and there were also people driving the cars.
Not to mention the arrangements. When everyone reached the second gate, another strong Yuan Mu came forward and led everyone into the inner courtyard.
In view of Zhai Yuan's mother's urgent surveillance, Gong Yueyue did not want to be too presumptuous, but she also took a general look at the big Sinong Mansion.
Han family story: Da Si Nong is in charge of all kinds of money, grain, gold, silk and other currencies. The counties and counties see the money and grain book on the first day of the first month at four o'clock, and the money and grain records are not finished yet, so each one has his own account. The officials in the border counties asked for dispatch, but they all wanted to repay the money, and the losses were too much.
If there is little benefit, take advantage and give enough.
This means: All fiscal revenue and expenditures such as money, grain, rent, and taxes are under the control of Da Si Nong.
Even the enlightenment reading "Ji Jiupian" at this time also mentioned that "Sinong is the source of the country", but each of the Sinong and Shaofu has a different division of labor. Si Nong leads the world's money and grain for the common use of the country; the Shaofu manages
The taxes from Chize and the funds from the customs market are for the emperor.
This is the so-called difference between national finance and imperial finance. In layman's terms, Si Nong is in charge of "national finance" and Shaofu is in charge of "imperial finance". In a word, the duties of Si Nong and Shaofu are the same.
Hundreds of things exist there, so a deep spring is used to describe it.
You can imagine the importance of this great minister being ranked among the Nine Ministers.
Gong Yueyue thought about it as she walked, preconceivedly thinking that the mansion of the great Sinong, who held the country's financial power, should be magnificent. Who would have expected that everything that caught the eye was simple and simple, without any hint of luxury.
When Yuan Mu followed the lead and entered the main hall of Zhaohua Hall where guests were being entertained, Gong Yueyue saw no trace of arrogance and extravagance. The maids Yuan Mu saw along the way were all neatly dressed in kudzu and linen cloth, and there was no trace of arrogance or extravagance.
Those who wear silk and satin.
However, when she walked to the verandah and looked down at the ground, she realized that the floor under her feet was made of low-key and dark rosewood.
Although all kinds of furniture were not yet popular in the Han Dynasty at this time, and people were not so particular about wood, the floor paved in Da Sinong's Mansion showed the wealth inside without showing off.
After all, it is the family of Mou Guiren who is the daughter of the seventh prince, so it is probably of a higher quality.
Gong Yueyue couldn't help but think so.
At this time, a large group of people were already waiting at the entrance of the main hall. The leader was a lady who was wearing a deep purple robe and a red gold robe inlaid with rubies. She had a dignified face and greeted her with a smile: "
...The fact that the prefect’s wife can come to this small chrysanthemum viewing banquet in person makes us all smile from ear to ear!” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help the clumsy Ke.
Ke said politely: "Mrs. Mou, there is no need to be modest. Who knows that the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in Da Sinong's Mansion has been held for a long time? What's the point of being trivial! I am just a petty prefect's wife, how can I not come?
Here!" While the maid Zhuiyun was taking off her shoes, Ke avoided Mrs. Mou's hands trying to help her without leaving a trace.
Do you think it is inconvenient for her to go out to visit guests when she is pregnant? She just wants to show others that she, Ke Shi, is doing well! Not only was she able to give birth to twin brothers and sisters in one fell swoop before, but now she can also move as usual and give birth smoothly!
Mrs. Mou's hand froze in mid-air.
Mrs. Mou Er, who was beside her, twitched the corners of her mouth almost invisible: "Look what the prefect's wife said! What a small thing, if the salary of two thousand dan is considered small, then my wife will be even less popular.
Got it!"
Do you think they are all stupid and can't hear the meaning behind her words? She Ke is nothing more than showing that her title of Mrs. is more genuine than other people's titles of Mrs.!
Mrs. Mou Er's eyes were filled with a hint of disdain and ridicule, and her eyebrows were raised unabashedly.
Ke was a little embarrassed, but when he saw the opportunity, he held Mrs. Mou's hands that had not been taken back, and said, "Mrs. Mou is worrying too much! We are both ladies, so what's the difference between being in the mainstream and not being in the mainstream? It's just a name."
" Then he took Mrs. Mou's hand and walked into the hall.
Mrs. Mou looked at her hands that were held behind her back, and frowned, but she couldn't stand still at the door, "Second Wife, please stop talking. The old lady is still waiting in the main room.
!" Then he warmly led Ke and the others into the main hall.
But when he turned around, he glanced in the direction of Gong Yueyue, who was lagging behind, intentionally or unintentionally.
But she couldn't help but curl her lips inwardly: This second concubine has already reached this age, and she still doesn't forget what happened back then! She is just a stepmother, what can she do! Back then, she couldn't compete with Ke, who was known as the female doctor in the boudoir.
He married the fourth son of the Wu family, so what! Now he and his second brother are loving husband and wife, and they have two children. The second brother is so devoted to him that he doesn’t even have a wife or concubine, just the few of them who are sisters-in-law.
, secretly I don’t know how much I envy her. How can Ke, who has been abandoned by her husband for many years in a remote corner of Xiping, be able to compare with her...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mou carefully looked at Ke's bulging belly, her eyes showing pity: She is as big as Luo Ruosi, and she still has to show her face and run around to plead for the master in the palace.
…
Mrs. Mou Er was naturally aware of Mrs. Mou's suggestive look. It was not unclear to her who the real owner of the old lady was waiting for in the room.
Then he took the arm of Mrs. Mou San who had not spoken a word next to her, and smiled and slapped Ke in the back loudly: "Sandi's wife, the prefect's wife is right, she is in the mainstream but not in the mainstream, it's just a title.
.Hey, the wife of the prefect is worthy of the title of female doctor in the boudoir, and her knowledge is extraordinary!"
Turning his head, he greeted Gong Yueyue Wenyan at the back: "This is the eighth sister-in-law of the Wu family, right? Look at this appearance, this stature, and the beauty of the country is only this, San Di's wife, what do you think?
