The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 463
The series of projects led by Song Qingyue were a great success in the capital, and the drought in Shanxi was handled extremely properly. Li Zhao's reputation as the eldest prince has risen to a higher level.

The prince who has some ideas left can't stop taking action.

Want to make meritorious service, easier said than done?
The first is that opportunities are not easy to get, and the second is that even if you have an opportunity, you may not be able to handle it well.

Then the only remaining way to quickly strengthen one's own power is to marry—that is, to accept a side concubine.

Naturally, Li Yi's choice was to force his mother and grandfather to spend all their money to arrange a decent mansion for him as soon as possible.

The old lady Ning was willing to help Li Yi. To be precise, when Xiao Ning cried with the old lady, the old lady became soft-hearted and wanted to satisfy her little daughter's request no matter what.However, the head of the family, Marquis Ning, was unwilling. In fact, he didn't express his disapproval. He just stayed in the northeast and pretended to be dead. When he wrote to him, there was no answer.

In the end, the old lady had no choice but to spend most of her dowry allowance to supplement Li Yi.

But even so, the money is still not enough.

So Li Yi forced Meng Yuyan to hand over the dowry again. Apart from quarreling every day, he quarreled and made the Qian Mansion uneasy.

On a certain day in mid-May, Li Zhao, who had just returned to the capital from Shanxi, was called by his grandmother to the Duke's Mansion in Zhenbei.

Li Zhao returned to Qian Mansion at night and took the initiative to report to his wife: "I was invited by my grandfather today. Guess what happened?"

"It's about the Second Prince's Mansion." Song Qingyue, who was writing a new mathematics masterpiece "Basics of Calculus", blurted out without raising her head.

"Tsk! My wife is so smart!" Li Zhao walked up to Song Qingyue, moved her buttocks, pushed her to the side, and sat next to her, insisting on squeezing a chair with her, so naive as hell.

Song Qingyue raised her head and rolled her eyes at the dog man. Li Zhao smiled indifferently, and hugged her onto his lap.

Song Qingyue shook her head, just sat in Li Zhao's arms, lowered her head and continued to write her own.

"Guess what my grandmother said to me?" Li Zhao asked while hugging her.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to tell me to buy a cheap house for Li Yi?"

Li Zhao laughed loudly, hugged Song Qingyue tightly and kissed her hard: "Why is Yue'er so smart?"

Song Qingyue had a bitter face, with an expression of disbelief, how could a person's skin be so thick!
"Just continue to live in the hidden mansion, why are you in such a hurry to move?" Song Qingyue asked again.

"Of course I am anxious to accept the side concubine, otherwise what should I do if I steal the limelight?" Li Zhao smiled, without any trace of nervousness or unhappiness on his face.

Song Qingyue stretched out her hands and pinched Li Zhao's cheeks on both sides, and pulled them hard, deforming his handsome face: "What are you proud of, what are you proud of! Just dismissing it like this? What the hell is your conceited temper?" Is it time to change it?"

"My lady, please spare my life! I made a mistake for my husband!" Li Zhao surrendered very awkwardly, "It hurts! My lady!"

On the contrary, she acted coquettishly again, and couldn't bear to look directly at her!

Song Qingyue glared at him and let go: "Huh! I hate it! Li Zhao, why are you so annoying?!"

"Nonsense, I'm obviously very likable! Especially to please my wife!" The man started to make a fool of himself as he spoke.

However, half a month later, Song Qingyue still sent an invitation to Meng Yuyan, asking her to come over to discuss matters in the palace.

For nothing else, the couple quarreled and fought every day about the affairs of the palace. The key point was that they not only fought in their own room, Meng Yuyan ran to Song Qingyue's room to cry after being bullied to death.

When she came to cry, Li Yi chased her and scolded her, and the two of them even had a big fight in Wufangzhai once.

No one would believe this couple if they said they didn't do it on purpose.

Guo Yun'er probably suffered a lot of harassment, and in the end she couldn't bear the harassment. Before the renovation of the new palace was completed, she hurriedly dragged Li Bin and the side concubine Zhuang away.

Ever since, Song Qingyue on the East Road was harassed even more violently.

Song Qingyue had no choice but to take the initiative to express her willingness to help the second child's family solve the housing problem.

"Sister-in-law! What do you want me to do today?" Meng Yuyan came here in a beautiful manner early in the morning, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Song Qingyue took a picture of the floor plan of the house on the table, pointed to a place on a map of the capital hanging on the screen, and said: "I have chosen it for you, let's take this house. Although it is outside the imperial city, it is far away from the imperial city." The city is very close. If you are willing to spend money to build a taller building, you can still see the park. The house is not too small. There is a small garden with a lake in the front, and then there is a flower hall and a study room. In the back house, you One big yard, the second brother has a big yard, in the future his two concubines will each have a small yard, and there are still three yards left, so those good ladies and concubines can squeeze in enough, how about it?"

Meng Yuyan saw on the picture that her yard was much bigger than the two concubines', she immediately rolled her eyes with a happy smile: "Hey, sister-in-law, you are too thoughtful! What's the price?"

"Not expensive." Song Qingyue showed a smile that made Meng Yuyan's hair stand on end, "950 taels of silver...a month."

Sure enough, Meng Yuyan's smile disappeared with the last three words.

"What's the meaning of sister-in-law? Let us rent it?"

Song Qingyue nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, of course it is rented. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. As far as this location and environment are concerned, I will sell it outside. No matter what, I can sell it for more than 35 taels. If you want to buy it, it will be cheaper. , 30 taels is enough. Let me take care of these house sons and fathers. You also know his old man's temper. If he belongs to the Pi Armament, I can't let my father suffer, can I? I can't let my second brother call you father. The emperor is at a disadvantage, and the father and emperor are unhappy with the second brother, isn't it?"

Meng Yuyan: ...

She wanted to strangle the current Song Qingyue to death. This shrewd businessman's face was really annoying!

"Can... the palace... rent it?"

"What's the matter, there is no law in Da Zhou that does not allow the county king to rent a house."

"Sister-in-law! Don't be kidding, the rented palace is so good!"

"Then I won't talk about it. Anyway, I am the only one in charge of these houses now. As long as I don't tell them, who will know whether you rented them or bought them?"

Meng Yuyan frowned and thought about it, it seems that it is not impossible?

Open your mind, if you have to move out, isn't renting easier than buying?
Besides, after they have finished decorating the house and lived in it for five or six years, even if they don't pay the rent after that, can the emperor forcefully drive them all out?

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone the royal family. In the end, the emperor will definitely settle accounts with the person in charge, Song Qingyue. Maybe, the sister-in-law will not only have no way to drive them away in the future, but also have to help them pay the rent.

Meng Yuyan, who had made up her mind to cheat her sister-in-law, laughed, nodded and said: "Sister-in-law's idea is very good, I'll go back and talk to our prince."

Song Qingyue looked at the back of her happily walking out and smiled, and said to Qin Jifu: "Guess if our second sibling has any plans to renege?"

The smile on Qin Jifu's face faded away, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was very possible, and he couldn't help worrying: "They will renege on their debts in the future, and Long Live Lord still doesn't settle with you?"

Song Qingyue smiled and waved her hands: "I can't find it."

"Why is this?"

"I will tell my father that the rent will be directly deducted from his Juelu, and it will not be taken from me."

Qin Jifu: ...

That's right, why didn't I think of it, a son who relies on his father for a living, but also wants to cheat his father's money, isn't this a miscalculation.

And as long as the palace does not belong to them on paper, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always had good reasons to deduct Li Yi's Juelu. Even if he behaves badly in the future, the emperor will deduct more Juelu from Baojun Wangfu on the grounds of rent increases. Straightforward - no matter whether the emperor is Li Da or Li Zhao at that time, the life of Baojun Wangfu will be sad at that time.

Thinking of this, Qin Jifu couldn't help shivering all over his body. Anyone who dares to plot against his prince and concubine will definitely die.

After Meng Yuyan went back, she told Li Yiyi about the plan, and Li Yi immediately agreed.

As long as they think of being able to cheat a house from Song Qingyue for no reason, the two of them can only think of the excitement of "the smart Song Qingyue will fall into their hands one day", and they can't think of anything else.

After the second couple also moved out, the fourth couple stayed put.

There is no other reason, Li Min is now a useless person, there is no such thing as a daughter with a good family background who is willing to marry him as a side concubine, and he doesn't have that much money to go out to buy a palace.

Not long after Li Yi moved out of the hidden residence, the queen began to find a concubine for him.

The third girl of the Ning family, Ning Yueluo, realized that her troubles had come again.She has to go to the northeast to find her father!
"Girl, are you going to sneak away?" Ning Yueluo's maid was a little dumbfounded.

"I can't stay in the capital. When my little aunt cries and makes noise in front of my grandmother, my grandmother has to agree to marry me to my second cousin."

"But...isn't it good to be a princess and concubine?"

Snapped!
The little maid was slapped hard by Ning Yueluo before she finished speaking.

"Girl, I was wrong! Qing He will never dare to talk nonsense in the future!"

The other maid, Qingluan, was also unwilling to just follow her lady to the Northeast. We all know that the dowry maid will most likely become the future male master's roommate in the end. The Northeast is cold, so how can there be a capital?

So she also dissuaded: "Girl! You have to think twice! You are the only unmarried girl in our government! Who can you marry? Why do you have to go to the cold place to marry a rough man?" ?”

Ning Yueluo herself was not too reconciled, but what could she do?If her little aunt recognized her, who else in the capital would dare to marry her?
Besides... Now that she has figured it out, she tied the burden in her hand and said: "What happened to the Northeast reckless man? I think my grandfather was a Northeast reckless man back then? Wasn't my grandmother spoiled all her life? Is it okay to be noble? Nine out of ten of the noble sons in the capital are stinky shit!"

After all, she carried her burden and went straight to the stables.

"Follow me if you two want to follow, and stay here if you don't want to follow!"

Daddy has been in the Northeast for so many years and has so many young generals under his command, there must be someone willing to marry her!
No one expected that the dignified lady of the Duke's Mansion ran away overnight like this!
The queen was so angry that Ning Yueluo fled, she turned her head and stared at the second daughter of Zhang Guangjian's family, the new Minister of Rites.

However, Master Zhang heard that the second prince wanted to take his own daughter as his side concubine, so he was so frightened that he decided on his daughter's marriage the next day.

It's not that he doesn't want his own daughter to be his concubine. If the eldest prince Li Zhao wants to marry his daughter as his concubine, he will definitely send her there with great joy. Whether the child will be favored or whether his life will be happy is not at all the consideration of these high-ranking officials Inside, I heard that the Second Prince and His Royal Highness have not been on good terms since they were young.

Moreover, the relationship between the eldest prince and his successor must be very bad.

The basis is that the queen will always speak ill of Jin Wangfei Song Qingyue in front of all the wives.

If the mother-in-law just dislikes her daughter-in-law and there is no conflict with her son, she will only teach her daughter-in-law a lesson in private, and will never publicize her family ugliness.

Besides, the second prince's reputation for being flirtatious and ridiculous has long been known to everyone. Zhang Guangjian, as an upstart in the dynasty, would never have the brains to push his own daughter into such a pit of fire.

That's it, no matter who the queen looks at, that family will betroth their daughter overnight, but there are some low-level families who rely on various relationships and find various ways to recommend their daughters to the second highness and the queen.

But none of these families are above the fourth rank!
Not to mention side concubines, if they were asked to be good ladies for Li Yi, even the queen would look down on them.

So the matter of Li Yina's side concubine was dragged on and on until June, and the third child appointed the third daughter of Mr. Zhang, the official minister, who was also the third younger sister of Zhang Luoyi's first cousin, to be the side concubine.

In this way, wouldn't my eldest brother become the half-brother-in-law of His Highness the Third Highness?
Song Qingyue asked Li Zhao: "What does this mean, third brother? Surrender to you?"

Li Zhao was holding a small wooden sword the length of a rolling pin to play sparring with Li Xiaokun who was standing on top of a wooden slide. The yard was full of Li Xiaokun's penetrating laughter.

He casually said: "Who knows what the concubine's plan is with her father, who cares about them... watch the trick!" He stabbed at Li Xiaokun with a sword, but Li Xiaokun dodged it skillfully.

"Look at the trick again!"

He was dodged by the little guy again, and then the little guy took a step to the side, and the chubby guy who looked like a lotus root held a small sword in his hand and stabbed Li Zhao's heart.

"Father, you shit!" Li Xiaokun yelled excitedly, Li Zhao covered his heart cooperatively, and slowly fell to the ground, sticking out his tongue to show that he was dead.

The little guy immediately waved his little wooden sword excitedly and shouted: "Father, Father, come again! This time, it's Kunkun Shit!"

Song Qingyue: ...

It really takes patience to play with children of this age. Just this childish game of stabbing and shitting, this kid can play for a whole afternoon.

Song Qingyue's last project in the capital, the Grand Theater, was officially completed in mid-July.

It was also because of this theater that she couldn't even find time to hold the Qixi chess competition this year, because the math competition must be held.

No matter how busy she is, she still has to come up with the competition test papers. The current math competition has become the second imperial examination!

And this year, the number of applicants reached a new high, reaching a huge 7 people.

The emperor has considered establishing a secondary examination system in the local area.

As for the chess match on Qixi Festival, although Song Qingyue didn't have time to do it, there were others in the capital to do it!
The newly opened Baojun Wangfu and Laosanlian County Wangfu both held chess games in their new mansions.

Meng Yuyan and Guo Yuner saw that Song Qingyue held a chess tournament last year not only did not cost money, but also made money, so they also wanted to learn from her to make some money.

However, the actual operation is not satisfactory.

In terms of scale and number of participants, it is not at the same level as the chess tournament held by Song Qingyue.

As for the sponsorship, it's not that there is no lack of it, it's just that those imperial merchants who came to the door to pay the money are not sympathetic, so naturally they just mean it and don't want to give more.

There are some things in this world that not everyone can do.
