Chapter 18: Flower Frames
Chen Shao learned martial arts from his father since he was a child. Later, when he was in his early 10 years old, he became a famous teacher. Now he has returned from his studies and has joined the Marquis' Mansion.
His martial arts skills are better than his father, and he is also very careful in his mind, so he is also a good at investigating things.
When Chen Shao heard the prince's questioning, he frowned and said, "Go back to Prince, he is stupid, and the murderer has not been found."
“Can there be clues?”
Chen Shao shook his head.
From my memory, Chen Yuntang learned that in the past, Chen Shao would always get some clues even if there was no result. But this time Chen Shao couldn't find out anything, and there was no clue or clue at all. This was too strange.
Chen Yuntang's mouth was slightly raised, and this was the best clue without clues!
She waved to Chen Shao, "Okay, there is no need to investigate this matter. Even if we investigate again, we can't find out anything."
Chen Shao was stunned and suddenly looked at the thin prince, "Criminal, do you doubt that?"
Chen Yuntang glanced at Chen Shao meaningfully.
Chen Shao couldn't help but widen his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed his shock.
But thinking about it, except for the regent who is very good at hand, who can do nothing after assassination?
The Yongxing Marquis Mansion is a loyal royalist party. The regent is in the eyes of the thorns. The marquis's body is not cold. It is normal for the one who sent someone to assassinate the prince.
But that person is also cruel enough. Now that the Marquis's Marquis's Marquis's Marquis's Marquis's Marquis's Marquis' is no longer as threatening to the Regent, he is still unwilling to let go of his life and wants to force the Marquis' Mansion on the dead end. He is really cruel!
Don’t blame this emperor for being controlled by this person.
"Okay, Chen Shao, go and rest and call Uncle Nie in."
The butler Nie Wei stayed for half an hour after coming in.
By the time Chen Yuntang was left in the small study, it was almost three o'clock.
Before leaving, Uncle Nie left the front yard account book for Chen Yuntang to read.
In the cold study, Chen Yuntang was alone in accounting for the expenses and assets in the Yongxing Hou Mansion.
When the calculation was completed, she stared at the results displayed on the paper and smiled miserably.
Damn it, God really won't give her a little bit of it.
She finally accepted the current setting of pretending to be a man, and then asked her this difficult question.
Do you still want her to live a stable life?
Don’t look at the Yongxing Marquis Mansion as if it is a high-ranking official, but it is actually a slut.
The two private property of the old Marquis’ grandfather’s farms are inadequate this year, and the tenants are not full. How much surplus grain can they pay?
As for the shops next to them, they are not very well managed, and they can only say that they have a slight balance every month.
These moneys were added together and could only barely pay the old marquis’ medicine.
Not to mention the industry among the Duke of Yongxing Houfu.
A jade shop, two silk shops, and a remote restaurant in Yanjing. Both villas are managed by Butler Nie.
Butler Nie was not good at managing shops, but the deceased Marquis of Yongxing insisted on handing over these things to him, and with his ability, he could only barely maintain them.
It’s already good to not lose money until now.
The account book shows that the monthly expenses in the Hou Mansion are not large.
Even if there are a few sisters in the mansion, for example, each silver is only five taels per month, while the old lady is only ten taels.
If it is a noble lady from the Marquis's family next to him, it would take at least twenty taels of silver.
The biggest expense is her.
In fact, there are only 50 taels of silver.
The remaining large expenses are the relationships between the various governments during festivals and festivals.
In fact, the Shen family has been passed down from their ancestors for so many years, and there are many good things.
Take the old lady as an example, she has a lot of treasures on hand.
The best-quality green jade screen, the paintings of Meng Shilan, the master of the former dynasty, and the manuscripts of Wang Xiping, a great calligrapher of the Zhou Dynasty.
Any one of these can be sold for more than 10,000 taels.
But in less than a day when Yongxing Hou Mansion was really down, none of these treasures from family history could be sold.
It's about the dignity of a family.
Chen Yuntang covered his eyes and smiled bitterly.
Now, she has really become the pillar of the Hou Mansion. Not only has to deal with the officialdom, she also has to find a way to help the Hou Mansion make money!
Wing Chun was guarding outside the small study room. Seeing that it was so late, the prince didn't even want to rest. He felt so distressed.
He turned around and ordered the little maid to go to the kitchen to bring the midnight snack, and Wing Chun brought it in in person.
"Criminal, it's getting late, so let's take a break soon. There are so many things, and when will I finish my work? I'd better be busy tomorrow."
As he said that, Wing Chun brought the bird's nest to Chen Yuntang.
Chen Yuntang stared at the steaming bird's nest in front of him, and thought of the sisters at home.
I picked up the spoon and barely ate it, but I felt it was really tasteless.
After going back to the room, he washed up and changed his clothes, lay on the bed, Chen Yuntang reached out and touched Yima Pingchuan's chest.
It's not much different from a man, and I don't know if it will grow up in the future.
She lay on the bed with her limbs spread apart. There were so many things happening today, and her mind was in chaos.
From time to time, he appeared in modern life, from time to time, and every bit of it in Yongxing Marquis' Mansion, and finally the cold and sharp face of the Regent appeared. In a daze, Chen Yuntang fell asleep.
The next day, Chen Yuntang got up early in the morning.
Bai Mei and Wing Chun found clothes to serve her to change clothes.
After Qingyan washed her teeth and rinsed her mouth, Chen Yuntang sat aside and waited.
But for a while, Wing Chun and Bai Mei stood still.
Chen Yuntang blinked his clear big eyes, raised his head, and asked strangely: "Where is the medicine?"
Wing Chun stepped forward and replied: "Criminal, I won't take medicine today."
"What's going on?"
"The old lady said that from today on, I will not take any medicine that the prince used to take."
Seeing that Chen Yuntang was still standing still, Bai Mei said anxiously: "Criminal, although the medicine is less harmful to the body, it will affect the woman's body if taken for a long time. Now that the old lady said she doesn't need to take it, don't take it?"
Taking that secret medicine for a long time will not only control the development of a woman's body, affect her voice, but will also affect her childbirth when she reaches a certain level. Chen Yuntang is already seventeen and can't take it anymore.
If it were Chen Yuntang in the past, he might have insisted on it stubbornly, but now Chen Yuntang is not that stupid.
The world is great and the world is the greatest. If you are in poor health, why should you talk about being the pillar of the Yongxing Hou Mansion?
Since this medicine is harmful to the body, if you don’t drink it, you won’t drink it.
Anyway, her body is different from that of an ordinary man now...
Chen Yuntang knew that the two close maids around him were for his own good, so he paused and agreed.
