Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 154
It was snowing heavily, and the four and five bedrooms also moved out.

Su Jingtian thought about it for two days, and after getting Jiang's reminder, he came forward to ask the eldest lady to stay and help manage the affairs of the Hou Mansion.

The eldest lady was a little surprised.

Uncle Su has been the commander of the Dongmen General for so many years, and the private house in her hands is indeed very rich. She also has a dowry property of her own.

Seeing the old lady's family division plan, she decided to move out of the Hou's mansion while it was hot.

In the past two days, Su Jinyu has been asked to go out to contact her. She has already found a place, and she probably will move out in a few days.

Why did Su Jingtian say this suddenly?
After thinking about it for a few times, the lady finally figured it out.

It's just that Jiang finally came back to his senses and began to think seriously.

Jiang's current status is just an aunt, and she has no support from her mother's family. She wants to take over the power of the Hou family. It is really not a good name. Moreover, after a hundred days of injury, she was beaten a hundred times and dragged out again. No matter what, this injury will take a month or two (fortunately, it is winter).

But being so disturbed by the clan elders, Sanfang got much less things. With the expense of Sanfang and the thoughtfulness of Sanfu, as she is in charge of the house, most of the things in the house will be taken to her room.

How could Mrs. Jiang swallow this breath?

After much deliberation, I was afraid that she, as a sister-in-law, was fairly fair and would not be greedy for the second wife's things, so I thought about letting her come out to take care of it.

It's a pity, I think it's a good idea, why should she help their second wife?

Moreover, not to mention what kind of fuss the third wife will make if she really takes over the management power, when Jiang is in good health and wants to take charge of the affairs by herself, and then say a few words to Su Jingtian, Su Jingtian will have to suspect that she is greedy for money. Two faces are not human.

After thinking about it, the eldest lady smiled and said: "Second brother, it's not that sister-in-law doesn't help you, but you also know that sister-in-law is a widow, so it's not easy to show her face, and mother prefers the housekeeper of the third younger sibling, no matter what outsiders say, what mother says , we always have to listen."

Su Jingtian's expression was a little sad, and he was somewhat annoyed with the old lady in his heart.

The same son, why does the old lady protect the third child so much.

I hope he doesn't know, the mansion is in chaos these days when the four and five rooms are moving, and the third wife often uses excuses to move things from the warehouse of the Hou's mansion to her own room.

But this Hou Mansion was first managed by the eldest lady, and later by the third lady. He had never even seen the warehouse list, and even if the third lady handed over the keys later, he didn't know how many things were left in it.

But when I told the old lady, the old lady still scolded him, saying that he was sorry for his brother and only cared about himself, so he agreed to the conditions of the clan elder!

Seeing Su Jingtian's expression, thinking that Jiang Shi still wanted to plot against her at this time, the eldest lady smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, actually, father-in-law has already made arrangements for you, it just depends on how you take this idea."

Su Jingtian was startled for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me."

After Su Yue's incident came out, the old Hou Ye had actually been running around outside, and he wanted to take him with him at first, but at that time he only cared about comforting Mrs. Jiang, and didn't care what the old Hou Ye did. Now it seems that Da Furen Should know something.

The eldest lady looked at his appearance, sighed in her heart, thought for a while and said: "Cai Xiang has a cousin who is 28 years old. The husband who married first died. Because she has no children, she returned to the capital after three years of mourning. Now living in Cai Xiang's mansion, I heard that this aunt Cai has a very good relationship with Cai Xiang. Although she looks ordinary, she is smart and capable. Ling, if he hadn't died early, the magistrate would have done it now."

Su Jingtian was taken aback, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to marry her?"

The eldest lady shook her head and said: "This is what my father-in-law meant. On the day my father-in-law passed away, I went to the Cai family. Second brother, the Jiang family has been destroyed. Jiang's doing such a thing again is for the sake of your children. You It is impossible to right her again, moreover, the emperor's imperial decree clearly states that the Jiang family cannot be righted, and if you don't have a regular wife in your yard, then there will always be no one who can properly manage the Hou Mansion."

Su Yue can take care of it for you, but will you agree?Will the old lady agree?
And Su Jinyu...that would only be worse than the third lady.

Seeing Su Jingtian's expression move slightly, the eldest lady sneered in her heart, but she said sincerely on her face: "Besides, second brother, are you really willing to be an idle marquis? You are only in your 30s, so you want to live like this go down?"

Not to mention the temptation of power, even if you have a real job, your income will be much higher.

The salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty are generous, and if you have two positions, you can still get two salaries without affecting each other at all.

The third lady said that Uncle Su has many private houses, which is really true.

Uncle Su is the commander of the East Gate Imperial Guards. From a fourth-rank official position, his annual salary is 65 guan, and the salary is [-] shi. ), and Uncle Su still has the title of a third-rank general of martial arts, and his annual salary is [-] guan, [-] shi of Lumi, and [-] personal clothes and food (also dead).

Adding up the salary alone, it is a salary of [-] guan, and a salary of [-] shi.

Moreover, if the two positions are added together, there will be thirty silks, fifty silks, and one hundred cottons every year.

Coupled with some other benefits, Uncle Su can earn thirty to forty thousand a year by himself.

And the expenses in the mansion are still paid by the public, even the entertainment outside, the old Hou Ye also paid for it.

The money has become the private house of the big family, and it is not a small sum accumulated over the years.

And if Su Jingtian didn't have a position, he would only be a bald-headed marquis, and his annual income would be a total of [-] yuan from Juetian and Juelu.

Coupled with the prospects of those industries that are divided, it will only be [-] to [-] yuan a year.

And there are hundreds of people in Hou's mansion, food and drink expenses, plus the daily expenses that Hou Ye should have, the expenses are not small.

Moreover, the old Hou Ye was in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to hand over some of the people raised in the Hou's mansion to Su Jingtian.

When the chief steward handed over those people to Su Jingtian, just raising those people would cost [-] to [-] yuan a year.

It is estimated that Su Jingtian will not only worry about the third wife stealing the warehouse.

Su Jingtian didn't understand the meaning behind Da Furen's words, but was startled by the word idle.

Whether he has real power or not, he understands the difference too well.

Back then, when the fifth prince was ordered to supervise the war, when they first went to Fuzhou, who didn't respect them?Who doesn't curry favor with them?
The fifth prince didn't take the glory brought by that kind of power seriously, but he deeply remembered it.

He was originally the companion of the current emperor, so how could the friendship of so many years be wiped out because of Jiang's matter?
If he marries Cai Xiang's cousin, not only can he get the emperor's forgiveness, but also Cai Xiang's help, then his achievement will be greater than Uncle Su!
Having made up his mind, Su Jingtian said, "Then, can I invite sister-in-law..."

The eldest lady interrupted his words with a smile: "Second brother, you just need to come to see Aunt Cai personally for this matter. Father has already explored the way. Prime Minister Cai has no objection, as long as Aunt Cai nods when she sees you."

That Aunt Cai will definitely nod, because it is said that she is not very good looking, but she likes handsome men.

But Su Jingtian has nothing else, but his skin looks good.
