urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 231
Mu Zhaozhao's face showed a disturbed look: "Mom, are you really not short of money? Then why haven't you issued a monthly report to everyone in almost two months?"

After finishing speaking, she looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged a lot, and asked in a low voice embarrassedly: "Is it because I didn't get the monthly silver in the world? Do I have to give them the monthly silver?"

Now, even Xuan Pinghou couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "It's nothing, the servants in your yard are all money from the public."

And very aggrieved to clean up the mess for his wife: "It must be because your mother was too busy with her natal family's affairs to forget to pay the monthly silver."

He forced a smile again: "Let the people in your yard come to collect the money tomorrow. Now that you are pregnant, you should receive double the money."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard this, he showed a sincere smile: "Father, your grandchildren are not born yet, why do you love them so much? Their fathers must be envious of them."

Before, Qin Mu was in the Xishan camp. If there was no war, the salary would not be enough for him to eat. It was not that he was difficult to support, but that he still had to support Zixiao and the others, as well as those good horses, or buy a carpenter. A dagger as iron as mud, or adding some swords, bows and arrows, are all expensive expenses.

However, at that time, he had the income from renting out two shops, and he gained a lot from the war before.

In addition, no matter whether it is the grandfather or the grandfather, or the uncle and the second uncle, they often give him some money.

Therefore, Qin Mu really has never been short of money.

Also because his previous salary was too little, Xuan Pinghou didn't mention asking him to hand over his salary to Gongzhong.

However, Qing Xiangying also selectively forgot about giving money to Qin Muyue.

Now, Qin Mu is the fourth-rank commander of the imperial guards, and the monthly silver is 50 taels, and he can also receive a double salary, that is, an additional allowance of the same amount in addition to the monthly silver. The commander of the guards only has a salary.

Plus some extra money, anyway, Qin Mu's current salary is twice that of Xuan Pinghou's.

When Xuan Ping Hou heard this, he also felt that the eldest son had a difficult life when he was a child, mainly because he didn't have much time in Xuan Ping Hou's mansion, and he would only say that it was enough for him to give him a bank note occasionally.

He himself spends money lavishly, and the monthly salary has never been enough. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Then give the son a monthly salary."

Mu Zhaozhao quickly refused: "Father, the son is going to be a father now, how can he still ask for money? The son now has 50 taels of silver per month, so I want him to pay 30 taels to Gongzhong every month. It’s not much, but it’s also a little bit of his heart.”

"In this way, the son of the world can also feel more responsible."

It's not that Mu Zhaozhao is generous, but that if Qin Mu doesn't pay at all, then it's Qin Mu's fault to say it.

Although there is no such rule as in the previous dynasty, parents do not separate the family.

But it is also a rule for the son to hand over a little money to the public.

She felt that fame was still necessary.

Besides, she is now a person who can receive monthly silver, 20 taels of silver per month, although she has only received one month of silver.

Coupled with the fact that the child in the stomach can receive five taels, and there is a house full of maids and women, thinking about it this way, it is still a good deal to pay 30 taels of silver by yourself.

On the contrary, Xuan Pinghou was very pleased to hear what his daughter-in-law said, it was rare for her to be sensible, so she nodded and said: "You should go back to eat first, too?"

"Yes, father, mother, and daughter-in-law are leaving."

Although it's a pity that she couldn't see her mother-in-law's speechless appearance when she was questioned, she could only rely on fantasy.

I don't know if they will do it?
If he did it in front of his brother and sister-in-law, then Master Qing would definitely help his sister, and then it would become a gangster.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me happy.

It's just a pity that if they don't eat the delicious food, they will have to pay for those people in the kitchen.

"Today I won't entertain my eldest brother and sister-in-law," Xuan Pinghou said no matter how angry he was, he still kept in mind that he was teaching his son and wife by pillow, and he didn't want them to watch jokes.

Even if he knew in his heart that the money in the public office should have been taken back to her mother's house by her.

And Master Qing looked at his brother-in-law's cold face, and he knew in his heart that he really had to ignore this matter, otherwise his sister would be chilled, so he could only smile wryly: "Brother-in-law, I wanted to do something in private before, so I just I borrowed 1 taels of silver from my sister."

Mrs. Qing complained in her heart that her husband was too honest, and she was really telling the truth, wouldn't she cut off thousands of taels of silver?
Anyway, she wasn't going to pay back the money, so she quickly said, "You know, brother-in-law, Yingying always feels that the title of Cheng'anbo Mansion is gone, and it's because Brother Hui married Wen Shangshu's eldest daughter. I hope that our Qing family will get better, so I lent her brother such a penny to clear up the relationship between various places."

"Don't blame Yingying, you only hate that our brother Hui has a bad life, married to such a spoiled family, and lost his family star."

After finishing speaking, thinking that she is no longer the wife of Cheng'anbo Mansion, she really felt sad and couldn't help crying.

Qing Xiangying was also afraid, and felt that her sister-in-law had spoken her heart, so she started crying too.

She understands that no matter how generous her husband is, he will definitely pursue her responsibility in private, and when she thinks of him running into the house when he gets angry, she cries even more sadly.

She doesn't want to take advantage of those two seductive companions at all, how can she calm down her husband?

Qing Haohui on the side also pleaded for his aunt with a guilty expression: "Uncle, calm down, this is all because of me, Hui is really ashamed."

Xuan Pinghou is not only a gentleman, but also face-saving.

Now they are crying and apologizing, no matter how angry he is, he can't get angry, so he can only sigh: "Hey, relatives should help each other, but she shouldn't hide it from me, let alone touch her. Wrong way of thinking, if my daughter-in-law really uses the dowry, how can I have the face to go out to meet people?"

If Mu Zhaozhao was here, he would definitely praise his father-in-law as a good man.

But the people present at the moment obviously couldn't understand why he was so straightforward.

Mrs. Qing could only speak for her sister-in-law: "Brother-in-law, my sister is also because the Zhuangzi hasn't delivered the New Year's goods yet, and the house is about to send New Year's gifts again, so she went to the doctor in a hurry."

After speaking, he covered his face with a handkerchief and cried, "It's only our fault for dragging you down."

Master Qing said: "You take out the rest of the silver and give it to my sister?"

Mrs. Qing was unwilling, and there were 4000 taels left, which was to be given as a New Year's gift.

Even though many people are still waiting and watching, she wants to pave the way for her son.

So Mrs. Qing cried: "Where is there any money? Brother Hui wants to go to Koenke, so he has to search around to get a place?"

Master Qing stared at her: "Don't talk nonsense, get it now."

"You, why are you attacking me?" Mrs. Qing was also angry: "I can't live through this day."

Master Qing also stiffened his neck, staring at his eyes: "If you think I've hurt you, then let's get together and leave..."

Xuan Pinghou hurriedly persuaded him: "It's a big deal, don't hurt brother and sister-in-law because of it!"

"Although the Cheng'anbo mansion is gone now, everyone is good. We have inquired around, and the sage has no intention of settling accounts after the fall. Now we are waiting for Brother Hui to go to Enkao next year. Everyone will have a good year in harmony. .”

During these days, they have been looking for people to find connections everywhere, in order to get an accurate statement that the Holy Majesty will not pursue.

It was a bittersweet tear.

Although Xuan Pinghou can be regarded as honorable, he is the kind that is about to decline, so that most of the people who follow him are the descendants of the same declining clan, or those who love to read a few sour poems or love to paint. Or indifferent to fame and fortune.

Anyway, my friends regretted that they couldn't help, but at least they came up with ideas and set up a bridge, and finally got the words of "about no problem" from Hubu Shangshu.

After Xuan Pinghou persuaded his uncle and his family to leave, he asked angrily: "Give me back the gift tomorrow, I don't have the face to use my daughter-in-law's dowry."

When the Dongchuang incident happened, Qing Xiangying didn't dare to object even now, and she responded obediently: "Yes, my husband, I was wrong."

When Xuan Pinghou thought of the money she had given to his brother-in-law, he felt distressed. He also had an idea of ​​the approximate amount. The teahouse also has an income of nearly 8000 taels of silver, plus the entitlement from the Ministry of Households to the Xuanpinghou Mansion is also 5000 taels a year.

Why else do they want to have a title, because not only is it nice to say it, but they also earn a sum of money every year, and they get both fame and fortune.
Of course, his own salary does not count among them.

Too little to mention it.

He asked with a sullen face, "How much silver do you have in the palace?"

"Well, I don't know too well..." Qing Xiangying hesitated to say anything, and always felt that he would have more reason to sleep in the Tong room.

Xuan Ping patted the table: "If you don't tell me, I'll check it myself."

Now I can't hide it anymore, if he goes to investigate, then the servants will have to suspect that they are despised by Lord Hou?
She could only speak: "The public only has more than 200 taels of silver."

Seeing him staring at her with wide eyes, she was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "The income of the Zhuangzi must be 5000 taels of silver, and he can also send some deer as gifts in the past, so we will wait for the Zhuangzi to deliver it. It's ample."

The main reason is that the farmer who raises deer earns a lot of money.

The whole body of a deer is full of treasures, and the antlers can be used as medicine. Deer blood is even more popular among the nobles in the capital. Even if it is expensive, some people are willing to buy it.

Xuan Pinghou frowned even more when he heard this: "Why is there only 5000 taels? I remember that when the income was good in previous years, there were always more than 1 taels of silver."

Qing Xiangying pulled the handkerchief tightly with both hands, wanting to cry but not tears: "I, I have sent more than 4000 taels of silver from the income of the first half of the year, and now these are the income of the second half of the year."

Xuan Ping Hou couldn't control his anger anymore, he slapped the table vigorously: "Dignified Xuan Ping Hou's mansion, there is only so little money in the public house, how dare you give all the money to others? If you don't know how to manage the house, then this house will be ruined." Let the crown prince be the concubine."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the hand that wanted to hit someone, so he strode away angrily.
