After looking at the servants Ren Hui brought, Fu Tinghan said: "Just leave two people to help Fu An and guard the yard."
Ren Huidao said: "The husband is a noble man, how can he only have three servants around him?"
"I'm only one person, and I don't have any limbs, so I don't need so many people to take care of me." He didn't even want the two extra people. If they weren't preparing for a wedding, there were some things they needed to do, and they had to guard the yard.
Let outsiders in again...
Fu Tinghan lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, but still expressed his dissatisfaction and resistance, "These two people will stay in the mansion to guard the courtyard. From now on, no one is allowed to come in without my approval."
Ren Hui was stunned for a moment, sighed helplessly, and looked at the two servants.
They all bowed their heads and responded.
Ren Hui saw that Fu Tinghan was not in a good mood, but after everyone left, she still tried to persuade her: "Mr. Lang, the princess has missed you very much these years. Thanks to Master Lang's letters from time to time, I know that you are safe in the Central Plains.
"
Although mother and son had conflicting ideas, Fu Tinghan also felt that Princess Hongnong loved children, so she felt a little guilty. After a moment of silence, she asked: "You just returned to Luoyang, is there any inconvenience?"
Ren Hui couldn't help laughing. She knew that Langjun, like the princess, was both a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. She hurriedly talked about Princess Hongnong's difficulties in detail, "Your Highness has been away from Beijing for many years. When he came back, he found that he knew
All my acquaintances are gone, I am surrounded by strangers, and there is no one around me to talk to. No matter how busy I am, I should go home to eat and talk to His Highness."
He added: "Most of His Highness's private property has subsidized the army. In May and July, in order to raise military rations for Master Lang, all the gold hairpins left by the late Queen were sold. Now..."
When Fu Tinghan heard this, he quickly looked at Fu An, "How much money do I have here?"
Fu An: "Yes, there are still some."
"Go get it tomorrow and give it to mother." Fu Tinghan thought for a moment and felt that Fu Xuan and his wife had lost their jobs and even their property. He really had to support his family, so he said, "In the future, I will take back all my salary and give it to mother.
"
Fu Xuan agreed.
Fu Tinghan looked at Ren Hui and asked, "Are there any difficulties?"
Ren Hui thought for a moment, and the current dilemma of Princess Hongnong was just interpersonal relationships and money. As for family conflicts such as quarrels with the consort, didn't they always exist?
As a son, Lang Jun also had a hard time distinguishing between right and wrong. Forget it, let's leave it at that. So Ren Hui smiled and shook his head, saying no more.
Fu Tinghan asked Fu An to send Ren Hui out.
When Fu An came back, Fu Tinghan was writing a list of his monthly income.
Although his salary is quite large, a considerable part of it depends on the income from the job fields. But now, the job fields have only been sown, so how can there be any benefits?
He is getting married again. With Princess Hongnong's character, she will definitely not see the poverty of her family, so this little money will definitely not be enough for her to spend.
He divided each income according to a certain proportion, calculated it, and thought it should be enough, so he handed the paper to Fu An, "In the future, each workshop will give you the income, and you will take it out and send it back to Fu An according to this proportion."
Princess."
After looking at it carefully, Fu An agreed and asked in a low voice: "Then the rest should be sent to Sanniang?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, and halfway through, he felt that he had to save some just in case, so he said: "You take a handful of money from the income given by the seventh uncle for expenses, and save any excess."
Fu An thought about it seriously and said happily: "Lang Jun spends very little. He can save at least 800 yuan a month for a small amount. If you gather a small amount, you can make a lot, and you can save a lot in a year."
Fu Tinghan also thinks so.
Because he really didn't have any extra expenses. He ate food either at the Yamen, at Zhao's house, or outside. It was Fu An who collected the money from Ting He;
When it comes to clothing, Wang and Tinghe basically have to worry about it;
The exchange of favors is also arranged by Ting He.
Occasionally, when he buys something outside, it is recorded in the Zhao family's account, and the Zhao family's father-in-law makes the settlement.
Princess Hongnong didn't know that her son's accounts had been mixed with Zhao Hanzhang's since a long time ago. Their income and expenses were the same, and they couldn't be distinguished at all.
So after getting Fu Tinghan's money box, Princess Hongnong was still very happy and felt that this son was not raised in vain.
She closed the box and looked at Ren Hui: "Did the Zhao family reply to the letter?"
"Yes, the Zhao family has made an appointment for His Highness and the Consort to have lunch together at noon today."
Princess Hongnong was satisfied, "Go and tell the consort to pack up and go out. Where is Da Lang?"
Ren Hui: "Lang Jun went out early in the morning and said there was something going on at the Ministry of Industry."
Princess Hongnong frowned, "Why are they so busy in Shangshu Province? I haven't had a moment to rest since I came back. That's all. I sent someone to tell him that at noon today, no matter what, he has to go to Zhao's house to discuss his wedding.
, no one can be lacking without him.”
"yes."
Fu Tinghan was really busy, and so was Zhao Hanzhang. They invited Li Xiang and Li Ban to see the salt they had posted.
Li Xiang rubbed the fine salt in his hands, put it in his mouth and tasted it. He found that the astringency was less than the well salt on the market, but a little worse than their fine salt, so he asked: "I don't know the price of this salt."
geometry?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "One stone costs a thousand dollars."
Li Xiang's eyes flickered and he looked at Li Ban.
Li Ban was very surprised and quickly bowed and saluted, "Please also ask the general to give salt to the land of Shu!"
Li Xiang, whose thoughts were still at the buying stage, looked at Li Ban in surprise. Unexpectedly, his innocent and kind prince could think of this. He immediately turned around and bowed to Zhao Hanzhang, "Please give salt to the land of Shu, general."
Zhao Hanzhang laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to help the two of them up. "I know that it is difficult for Shu to eat salt now. Since I brought you to see it, I naturally want to relieve the difficulties of Shu."
Zhao Hanzhang generously gave them two hundred rock salt, and then took them out of the city to see the water mill.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the water mill is very busy, with people queuing up everywhere waiting to pound rice and grind flour.
Water mills are cheap and fast, grinding rice cleanly and grinding flour finely, but they require a long journey, but this is not worth mentioning to the hard-working people.
People from nearby villages also came together to grind flour and pound rice.
When they saw Fu Tinghan, they greeted him warmly. When they saw Zhao Hanzhang riding a horse and walking beside him, their eyes brightened. They immediately dropped their baskets, ran a few steps quickly, and then knelt down and kowtowed.
, shouted loudly: "I wish the girl a happy new year, peace and joy!"
Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked Zeng Yue, "Is today a small year?"
After getting the answer, she immediately got off her horse and helped the person up, and waved to the kneeling person: "Everyone has a happy New Year, get up quickly!"
She looked down and saw that he was wearing straw sandals and his toes were red and swollen from the cold. She couldn't help but feel heartache. Then she touched his shoulder and felt that the clothes were thin. She said distressedly: "Don't you have money to buy cloth clothes and shoes and socks?"
His face was red from the cold, but his eyes were full of life, with a bright smile on his face, "Girl, if you don't have it this year, you will have it next year."
