Chapter 179 Be Sphthrifty

Yu Lian looked at the red sleeves with a calm expression, lowered her head and slowly embroidered flowers, poked the needle in her hand, and her heart was like a mess. Is her words true or false? Hearing her, the prince seemed to have nothing to do with her, but if it was really like what she said, how could such a thing happen on the wedding day? How can she lead her aunt's monthly routine now? If not, it would have been several days, and she really hadn't even seen the prince.

How to look at the top and bottom of this house, and how to taste it is not good. It is said that the prince is generous, and the princess has a lot of money, but in these days, how can there be a trace of generousness in eating and clothing? Whether the food is full or not, tea cakes are all road goods, and it is difficult to swallow. At night, all the oil lamps are lit, and even candles are useless. She has grown so big that she has never suffered so much. Yulian glanced at the celadon oil-saving lamp on the corner. I heard that the oil candle company said that it is also determined how much lamp oil is used in a month. Example.

Yulian moved impatiently. The prince rested in the west courtyard and loved the princess so much. The princess was not as old as herself. In addition to red sleeves, there were seven other maids in this yard. The maids in the west courtyard were also sharp. I don't know how many young, beautiful, mindful and resourceful maids were in other places. In terms of age, she It's not small. In terms of beauty, I can't be out of the top. In terms of the water tower, it must be as good as the West Courtyard. Besides, the princess is still guarding against these people now, and I don't know what they think. Why isn't the princess in charge of this house? Ten thousand steps back and said, even if the princess is not guarded by them, if she wants to arrange for the maid to sleep, she has to arrange her own girl first. What's going on this day?

Hongxiu sent away Yulian, who was worried and could hardly hide her. She closed the door and sat back on the kang. She took the needle and thread, but she had no intention to do needle and thread. She clearly understood that it was not wrong for her to plan for herself. Should she also make a good plan?

After dinner, Li Tian said two sentences about the snow banquet, but said all the words that Qingzhi heard this year that were different from the past. The fifth prince looked disdainful and pulled down the corners of his mouth and said, "Dad is not old and confused. Mr. Zheng told me today that your former son questioned those little women. Dad also heard about it, and people sent a message to Jingfu Palace, saying that the child is old and there is no need to worry about it. With Dad's words, you can let go. I'm tired of looking at those people!"

"Well," Li Tian didn't know what she thought of, and smiled meaningfully: "So many people in our house are not all about Jingfu Palace. Many people think that this is a clever clan. That's why they entrusted people to our house to be a messenger. There are all kinds of people who can't think of. If this matter is urgent, I'm afraid There are too many people who have sinned, and even if they have offended people, they may not know who has offended them. This is a hidden danger. You haven't heard that the king of hell is easy to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with.

"It's up to you." The fifth prince has a big head. He has no experience and does not want to care about this matter. In the past, his way to deal with this kind of thing was to hide if he couldn't afford to provoke. Throughout the year, no matter whether it was cloudy, rain or snow, he almost never stayed in the palace. He either listened to music everywhere or hid behind the lake of the breeze tower to kill time.

"You came back early today. Why don't you go to the East Courtyard?" Li Tian asked casually. The fifth prince was stunned and moved uncomportunately, "What happened to the East Courtyard?"

"There are red sleeves in the east courtyard. What can happen?" Li Tian said with a smile on the corners of her mouth: "Red sleeves are good. Even Mother Xiong praise her for being sensible. No wonder you love her the most. Today, the girls in the east courtyard are wandering in the garden, but she didn't go. Don't you go to see it?"

"What are you looking at?" The fifth prince replied quickly, "See why she didn't go to the garden? I'm so busy. Do you have time? Besides, there are so many women in the house, who hasn't visited the garden, who has to visit the garden, have to let me see why? This is not my business at all!"

Li Tian slanted the fifth prince. The fifth prince was ashamed and annoyed by her. His words were messy. As a dignified prince, the power did not seem to be reflected at all. Li Tian looked away with a smile and said, "By the way, the official Shao and the thirty little servants have not been placed. I have never used it. Waiter, I'm not used to it. Where do you think it's better to place the waiter?

The fifth prince stammered and didn't say anything for a moment. The officials Shao and others are really not easy to settle. The prince's house is to use the servant. First, there is no precedent for sending the servant back. Second, even if he is sent back, he will still make up for the number of people in the ban. The fifth prince thought for a moment and said, "Since you are not used to it, then arrange it Be a servant outside the second door. The use of an internal servant in the prince's mansion is originally a personal face. Look, you can use it wherever you are decent. Li Tian frowned when she heard this. What did this mean? Where to use decent, use the maid to see the most decent way to welcome guests at the gate, but which guest can afford it?

Li Tian looked at the fifth prince and nodded without saying much. It seemed that he had no idea at all. It was better for Mr. Xun Shui to discuss this matter.

"Tomorrow, I will get up early to listen to people's things. I'll go to rest first. If you go to the East Courtyard to rest, I'll ask Hongxiu first. I'm afraid she has to prepare." Li Tian stopped and explained with a smile: "There are many people in our house. Zhuangzi and other things will not be beneficial until the end of next year. Qingfeng Tower and Shunji will pass us. Our house will also have next year, and there will be no profit for a while. This year's Spring Festival, and next year, it will also refer to those opening silver. I also want to use more guards, horses, and gentlemen you will invite in the house in the future. The use of the house has to be tighter.

The fifth prince didn't react for a moment. What does it have to do with the preparation of Hongxiu? Seeing that he was obviously not understood, Li Tian had to continue to say, "This is tight, so you have to think about being thrifty. For example, this year's candle is particularly expensive. There are a large number of people in our house. If candles are used everywhere, it's really hard to afford it, so if you are not here, it's good to light an oil lamp outside. Our house All the fuel-efficient lamps are used, and you have to save your life from such a small place. The fifth prince was stunned and couldn't say a word when he looked at Li Tian. She was one of the richest people in the capital, and she was even reluctant to light a candle!

The candlelight of the study in the Shouwang Mansion shook, and the eldest prince was talking to Mr. Jiang, the staff.

"It's a great blessing to get the help of the fifth master." Mr. Jiang brushed a few sparse waps of beard and said happily. The eldest prince smiled relaxedly: "Our brothers are the only five who wants to be the most. I'm not as good as him."

"The prince can't say that. If they are as open as the fifth master, won't the officials suffer? Besides, God's destiny has his own way, and the prince can only follow the way," Mr. Jiang's words suddenly stopped and hesitated for a long time before whispering, "They are all princes. They are all here. You have to pay attention to whether you want to open them or not. Besides, things are easy from time to time. There is no constant among them. People's hearts are the most unpredictable."

"Well," the eldest prince looked at the darkness outside the window: "That being said, I can trust the fifth brother." Mr. Jiang smiled clearly and didn't say anything more. The room was quiet with the sound of dripping drops. After a while, Mr. Jiang first broke the silence: "I really don't understand who did the assassination of the fifth master. The third master, the fourth master, and even Jingling Palace are all suspected, but the more you think about it, the more different it is. There has been a lot of news from everywhere in the past few days. Let's work together. No, who else can there be?"

A strange color appeared on the eldest prince's face, and his eyelids drooped and he didn't say anything. Mr. Jiang sighed confusedly: "Think about this from both ends. If the fifth master is unfortunately gone, who will benefit the most? If the fourth master says that for... this is a joke. The fourth master is not a fool, and he is willing to do it. Then he has to wait for a hundred years after the official family. In addition, the fifth master is gone. Who can have any benefits? But if the fifth master is fine," Mr. Jiang's words suddenly stopped and looked at the eldest prince with a bitter smile and didn't go any further.

"It's us who get the most benefits from this matter," the eldest prince Xu said, "You can't come out alone. If the fifth brother doesn't marry the wife of the Li family, there is no benefit in the future. Going forward, if Lao Si doesn't have such a thing, I'm afraid there will be nothing to happen in the future. This world, one after another, this ring and There is a link between cause and effect.

"The prince's words are extremely true," Mr. Jiang praised: "Do you want to investigate the assassination of the fifth master? There must be a push in the future. If we don't find out, we will be extremely passive. On the other hand, we don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend. Maybe there will be a big deal that we can't afford. This is not a small matter.

The eldest prince stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea, picked it up and slowly squeezed it. After a while, he whispered, "Don't check it again, sir, don't worry. Maybe... it's not a bad thing." Mr. Jiang's eyes flashed with consternation and smiled, "What did the prince say? Then I'm relieved. Lao Hai handed a letter today, saying that Yao Xiang's family is discussing marriage with the Jiang family, the Marquis of Linchuan. The Jiang family is just discussing the marriage age. There are only two little women in Linchuan Houfu, a son and a concubine, and the rest are side branches. Yao Xiang's family is at the right age. In addition to the 14th Master Yao Yuanhang, there are also one direct and two concubines and three young women. The rest of the Yao family are in their hometown. The 14th Master Yao has a bad reputation. The Yao family and the son of the Marquis of Linchuan are most likely to discuss marriage. Yao Xiangruo and the Jiang family have married, which is not appropriate.

The eldest prince frowned. If he really got married, it would be inappropriate. Yao Xiang's eldest daughter married Ye Shusheng, the son of the royal palace of Dongyang County. In recent years, he has been standing openly and secretly beside Lao Si, and the Yao family has married Jiang Zhengyuan again... This is indeed an inappropriate marriage.

"Jiang Zhengyuan and the fifth master have a good relationship, or the prince will ask the fifth master if the fifth master knows about this." Mr. Jiang said extremely euphemistically, and the eldest prince nodded clearly: "It's really appropriate to leave this matter to the fifth brother."
