How could Mrs. Chen be willing to accept it? Although this thousand taels is no longer a small amount, it is enough to sustain a family like theirs for two years, but she still knows what kind of money can be accepted and what kind of money cannot be accepted.
"Girl, aren't you slapping me in the face? How can we, the girl from the Chen family, let the princess spend money to support her? I also asked the girl to tell the princess that I will go back and clean up, and I will come to take this little peach back to the house tomorrow.
.She did some things in this other courtyard that made the princess unhappy. The princess didn’t blame her, which is a great kindness. How can we ask for the princess’s money anymore?”
Mrs. Chen refused again and again, but refused to accept it. She had no choice but to push it into her arms and said in a harsh tone, "Mrs. Chen, it's not that our princess insists on giving it, but it's something that concerns the prince."
Reputation. Since the prince has promised to take care of his children, he will naturally do it. I have to go to serve the princess, so I have to take the first step."
Mrs. Chen accepted the money in a daze, and had no choice but to return to her house.
After Mrs. Chen returned home, she had been restless and couldn't figure out what the princess meant. Until she heard that her son was back, she immediately called people to her yard and sent all the servants away. Mother and son
Only then did the two of them talk about themselves.
"What do you mean by this, princess? Is this a slap in my face, or is it really because you are concerned about the prince's reputation?"
Chen Daming thought for a while, "Mom, from what I've seen, this princess's original intention is, firstly, to reassure the prince, after all, she has made a promise to her father, and secondly, for her mother to teach this little peach well, never to
What kind of trouble is caused in the capital!"
"Trouble?" Mrs. Chen said with some disdain on her face, "A country girl, what kind of trouble can she cause?"
"Mother, why are you confused? Along the way? The Xiaojia Town you just mentioned? What if this girl still doesn't give up and wants to climb into the prince's bed?"
Although Chen Daming is a straightforward person, he has been working as an official in the palace for two years. Who has he not seen before? By going back and forth, he can more or less figure out some people's thoughts!
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately understood, "That's right! That's the truth!" After saying that, she patted her forehead, "Look at my brain! It's not as good as yours!"
The girl born to Hu Meizi is indeed Hu Meizi from birth! She doesn’t even look at her status, but she still dares to think of the prince!"
"Can mother see that little peach today?"
"No! When I left the mansion, I heard the servants in the mansion said that yesterday the princess ordered Xiaotao to come and see me after dressing up today. Moreover, in order to let her gain a firm foothold in the Chen mansion, the princess
I even asked someone to find out what kind of pastries I like to eat, and asked her to go to the dining room to make them herself, so as to leave a good impression on me. But who would have thought? Huh! She is just ignorant. When she arrived, she didn’t even have a face.
dew!"
After Chen Daming heard this, he didn't have any good impressions of this Xiaotao for a while! He originally thought that she was his father's flesh and blood, and that she was his sister. When she was brought into the house, she must have wanted her mother to treat her well, but now she thought about it, that's all!
"Yesterday you told me to treat her well, saying that it would be difficult for her to live alone outside. She might have suffered a lot! But today I went to the palace and I found out. Prince Rui
Every year, people send me five hundred taels of silver, and that girl is also surrounded by four personal servants, so she has a better life than the young lady in our house!"
"Five hundred taels? Your Majesty, you are really a man of affection!"
Chen Daming is an honest person. If you think about it, if these five hundred taels of silver were left in ordinary people's homes, it would be enough for the family's expenses for decades! Although she is only a daughter born from an aunt, the prince takes care of her like this. It can be seen that
It has multiple promises.
"Isn't this? Before she left, the princess asked her maid to give me a thousand taels of silver notes. I originally thought why I wanted so much? But after reading Xiao Tao's birth date, I realized that Xiao Tao should have a hairpin this year.
We should get married next year at the latest. This is two years of money given to us all at once! This makes our Chen family simply don’t know what to say?"
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from the small brown box, with a look of disgust on her face, "Look, this is how much Xiao Tao has spent on food and clothing in southern Xinjiang these years! Not to mention the money in the house.
My young lady, even you, I’m afraid I can’t compare to you!”
Chen Daming originally thought that five hundred taels a year was too much, but when he saw the list again, he was immediately shocked! There were actually some delicacies on it! She, Chen Xiaotao, really dared to ask for it!
Chen Daming took a breath of cold air, his eyes were a little gloomy and uncertain, "Mom, once this little Tao returns home, please carefully train her and strictly control her. If there is nothing serious, don't let her leave the house easily!
I'm afraid this girl is not someone easy to get along with!"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. It's just that she spent her own money to buy the four slaves around her. If they enter the house, I'm worried that they will be in trouble!"
"Don't worry, mother. Isn't the princess supporting everything? Since she is dissatisfied with Xiao Tao, we just need to let her get married without any problems, that's all."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen thought of the princess's thoughts and told him that Princess Rui intended to marry her sister to him. She saw her son's face turned red and said, "Mother, you can't do this kind of thing."
Just make the decision."
Mrs. Chen was also here. Seeing him like this, she became somewhat suspicious, "Have you seen this third lady?"
"I've seen it. I saw her once when she and Princess Rui went to the palace to attend a palace banquet. At that time, the prince and the princess were not yet married. My son saw that the third lady was holding the princess's hand very intimately. The relationship between the two was like
Excellent.”
"That's right! I see the same thing today. The third lady is good-looking and very well-behaved. She is also the princess's biological sister. I heard that the princess values her very much. You don't know,
At first, the princess and the eldest lady were not on good terms, but when something happened to the eldest lady in the Wuchang Marquis Mansion, the princess did not ignore it, and she still thought of ways to make her take the position of the head wife. It was still okay to treat a concubine who was not emotionally affectionate.
So, let alone this sister who has always been loved by her."
Chen Daming naturally understood what his mother meant. If he married the third young lady of the Hou family, his future would be limitless! Although he was somewhat disdainful of this kind of nepotism, when he thought about how the whole family in the family was
It feels relieved to live on my own salary! Moreover, the third lady is indeed pretty good!
