Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 233
Li Xiangyu didn't expect her to agree so quickly, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, feeling that he might have misunderstood her, maybe she didn't have Yuan Su's idea.

Thinking of this, she smiled brightly, "Ling'er, don't worry, my sister will definitely look for you well. It cannot be said that the family background is the best, but the character must be the best."

Gao Ling'er got up shyly, stomped her feet and said, "It's up to my sister to decide everything!"

After speaking, he hid his face and left.

Li Xiangyu looked at her back with a smile, and said to Chanjuan: "It seems that I misunderstood her."

Chanjuan was also a little surprised, she said: "Now that I have figured it out, I know that she doesn't have such thoughts, Madam can rest assured."

"Yes!" Li Xiangyu thought for a while, and said, "However, it's better to marry her off as soon as possible. If she stays in the mansion, it will be a disaster sooner or later. Who knows if she will get the general's idea after getting along for a long time?"

Chanjuan reminded: "However, ma'am, there is another problem. If she wants to get married, can the money not be returned to her? If not, it will still owe her a sum of money, and she has to buy a dowry , she was married as the wife's younger sister, and this dowry can't be shabby."

Speaking of money, Li Xiangyu became anxious, "Where can I return the money to her now?"

"If you don't have any money, you have to pay it back. Otherwise, if it spreads, people will point out and stop talking about it. If it gets to the emperor's ears, I'm afraid it will hurt the general. Besides, if you don't pay back the money, you have to give her money to buy it for her." Wouldn't the dowry be more disadvantaged?" Chanjuan said.

Li Xiangyu became depressed, "Don't talk about 1 taels of silver, I can't even get 1000 taels of silver now."

Chanjuan sighed and said: "This general's mansion is not as good as it used to be now. It will take at least a few years to recover after being plundered by the two princesses. Our general is different from others, and we don't know how to collect some money from it. Otherwise, a year will be spent." What is paying back the 1 taels of silver?"

Li Xiangyu's expression lifted after hearing Chanjuan's words, "Charge some money? How should I say it?"

Chanjuan lowered her voice and said: "Now the general is serving in the governor's mansion, although he is only a deputy governor, but if the door is opened, many people will take the initiative to send money to the general."

Li Xiangyu was taken aback, "This, isn't this accepting bribes? Is this against the law? If the emperor finds out, let alone the general's position, his life will be in danger."

Chanjuan said with a smile: "Look at the way Madam is making a fuss, which official in Beijing doesn't accept bribes? Besides, this is not bribes, but hard money, running errands for others, can't you take some money for tea? If you take the money, what's the matter?" It's fine if it's done, who will say it? It's not good for anyone to say it, and no one will be so stupid."

Li Xiangyu still shook his head, "The risk is too high, how much money can you earn by running errands?"

Chanjuan couldn't help shaking her head, "My wife, it seems that you don't know much. Let's take Du Canjun as an example. Last month, he was asked to take care of it at the Ministry of Punishment. After it was done, he immediately sent 100 taels over. gone."

"100 taels of silver? So much?" Li Xiangyu said in surprise.

Chanjuan smiled and said, "Ma'am, it's not silver, but gold, which is 100 taels of gold. The most important thing people in Beijing need is silver. It depends on whether you are willing to earn it or not."

"My God, what does it take to get 100 taels of gold?" Li Xiangyu was really surprised.

"This servant is not very clear. I heard that a younger brother of a rich household injured someone and was to be sentenced, so he found the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment then put pressure on Jingzhaoyin Yamen, and the younger brother of the rich household was fined money. After all, for these rich people, money is not an issue, the most important thing is that you don’t have to go to jail, our general has a lot of connections, in this world, you can make money if you have connections.”

Li Xiangyu said: "It's very simple. When Qinghe was here, he made a lot of connections for him. Don't ask for such a simple thing. It's okay to kill someone and take care of it."

Chanjuan smiled and said: "Isn't that what it is? These contacts are not for nothing, they can make money and help others, why not do it?"

The more Li Xiangyu listened, the more excited she became. There was a gleam in front of her eyes, as if she could see the 100 taels of gold flying towards her.

However, she immediately said: "It's still not possible. With his temperament, I'm afraid he is unwilling to do such a thing."

Chanjuan said: "Ma'am, you don't need to tell him, just tell him that you know someone and ask him to do something, not the cashier."

"But I have no connections!" Li Xiangyu said with a sad face.

Chanjuan said mysteriously: "If Madam can trust the servant girl, the servant girl can run for Madam."

Li Xiangyu looked at her, "Do you have a way?"

Chanjuan said with a smile: "The slaves have been in the mansion for many years, and the former princess loved to entertain guests, so she made friends with maids from various mansions. The news of the slaves is all from their mouths. It is the best way to ask them to help spread the word. It couldn't be easier."

"I don't want to spread rumors. You can search privately. If there is such a person who needs to do something, you can come back and let me know. I will try to persuade him." Li Xiangyu said.

"Okay, this servant knows how to do it." Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant, Chanjuan persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, it's not a big deal in Beijing. The imperial salary is so low. If an official doesn't collect some expenses himself, how can he?" The cost of maintaining such a large mansion? The family members of those officials wear gold and silver, how can the salary be affordable? This is an open secret in Beijing, even if it is known, it doesn’t matter.”

"Really?" Li Xiangyu asked.

"If Madam doesn't believe it, go to Gao Mansion and ask Madam Gao, Master Hou must have charged a lot for running errands."

Li Xiangyu curled his mouth and said, "I'm not going to ask. Mrs. Gao's eyes are higher than the top, and she doesn't care about me at all. Now that I'm down and out, she looks down on me even more, and she doesn't know how to laugh at me behind my back. No way." , I have to cheer up."

Chanjuan said: "People nowadays, like Hongdingbai, now the Hou's Mansion also knows that Madam wants to borrow money, so naturally they despise her in every possible way, and when Madam returns to the mansion, she always does not bring any good things, so they are even more I look down, Madam really wants to hurry up and make money, the huge General's Mansion cannot always be looked down upon by others."

After hearing Chanjuan's words, Li Xiangyu became more determined in his heart.

Not to mention the Hou's mansion, even his own uncle, now looks down on him more and more. He asks for money for two days, and if he gives it to him, isn't he giving it to that stinky bitch for nothing?

Thinking of this, Li Xiangyu suddenly felt that any family relationship is fake, without money, everything is useless.

"Chanjuan, hurry up and inquire about the news, find a way, I won't treat you badly." Li Xiangyu said.

Chanjuan said with a smile: "Madam has never treated slaves badly, Madam, don't worry, soon Madam will be able to return to the Marquis Mansion in a splendid manner, and show them her majesty."
