Daqi Dynasty, capital city, Xuanhe Hou Mansion

Inside Wenxi Hall

"Old lady, I really can't get you. The public treasury in our mansion is really empty. I have been selling my dowry in the past six months to maintain it.

But now my dowry is already…”

As soon as Qiao Mu woke up, he saw a woman sitting on her lower left hand talking about the difficulties at home with a sad face. When he spoke, he looked up at her face from time to time.

"Has arrived here?

You will move all the account books here later, don't worry, I just want to see how much stuff you have posted in, and I didn't say the reason why the butler's daughter-in-law still has to put the dowry in. After I verify it, I will try my best to make up your dowry.

I see that you have been worried about this matter a lot these days. It seems to be a little older than in the past. Let's take a break for a while. After I finish reading the account book, I will see if there is any way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. I will talk about it at that time, otherwise this will be a bottomless pit.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

You go and get the account book first, sort it out and bring it over. I will take a break for a while, and I will look at the account book after being fully energetic and think about the future."

At this time, Qiao Mu urgently needed to guide the original body's memory and understand the original body's wishes, so he planned to call back the woman who didn't know how many daughters-in-law she was, theoretically, should be the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Yes, old lady, I'll go now."

Xiao's face was happy, and he was delighted that the mess of the housekeeper could finally be thrown out. After answering, he left and planned to go back and quickly pack up the account books for recent years and bring them over.

The work that manages the family is a good job, and it is also what the eldest son and daughter-in-law should do. But it depends on whether the family is rich or not. If the family is rich, then it is naturally easy to manage the family. After all, the work in the house can be basically done with money, but I am afraid that there is no money. The four words "poor people are poor and have short ambitions are suitable everywhere, and even if they are placed in the country, it is also applicable. For the nobles like them, they marry and have children, use daily chewing, and even do not spend money when they go out. These are not bad. If they are much worse, they don't know how to laugh at other families when they go out. Just like some little stars, even if they have no money, they have to buy a brand with a rent, and they have to find a way to rent it. This is the glossy surface.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The same is true for these nobles.

No matter how poor your family is, the superficial glory must be maintained, otherwise it will be more embarrassing.

It's probably like this to be a swollen face and fat man.

After Qiao Mu left her daughter-in-law, he quickly ordered the maid who served him, saying that he would go to the side to lie down and rest for a while. During the rest, he beat the two maids who served him out.

It’s also easy to accept memory so as not to be disturbed.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Mu finally straightened out the memories of his original body for more than 60 years.

Originally from the Wu family in northern Jilin, he is considered a daughter of a family of Jilong. Although he is not as good as the top family like the five surnames and Qiwang, he is one of the best in northern Jilin. It is because the previous marquis of the Xuanhe Hou Mansion, that is, his father-in-law, saved their eldest son of the Wu family in northern Jilin when he went out to fight. Out of gratitude, and the Xuanhe Hou Mansion did ask for something, he married her daughter of the aristocratic family to a military general.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Although the original body was a little disappointed and did not marry a talented man or top scholar, he had no room for opposition due to his childhood education. Naturally, he married over honestly. However, after marrying in, he realized the chaos in their military general's family.

The family is extravagant in daily life, and it is even more accustomed to visiting brothels and spending money like land. However, because their ancestors, such as the ancestors, robbed things from all ages when they followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world, and even the palace of the previous dynasty was robbed by them, and they divided a lot of them. Although they were extravagant, they could still live. After giving birth to a son and a daughter, they no longer cared about how many concubines her husband took.

But it is precisely because of this that the root of disaster has been planted.

Of course, this root cause does not refer to how restless the concubines are, or want to assassinate the original body and the original body's children. In fact, the concubines are very peaceful, but the key is that the original body's husband is a warrior, a warrior who has never been injured and is very healthy. The concubines have not been given the original body's medicine. As a result, they have lived a desperate life. Ten years later, the original body already has one son and one daughter, two legitimate children, and thirty-six concubines, of which 16 concubines, and the remaining twenty are concubines.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Note that these thirty or so are the children of the original husband. The original husband is not the only son. He also has a legitimate younger brother and two legitimate sisters, as well as six illegitimate brothers and nine illegitimate sisters. It doesn’t matter if the sisters are still married. However, because the parents are not separated, more than 20 years ago, the legitimate brothers of the original husband lived in the Marquis’ Mansion.

At that time, the first generation of children, including men and women, totaling more than 100, regardless of the illegitimate malpractice, had a total of more than 100. In the end, the yards in the marquis' mansion were not enough to live in. They could only live in a few rooms, sleep on the upper and lower bunks, and eat like fighting. In short, it was very chaotic.

Only after the original father-in-law and in-laws died and separated, the house could be opened, but the living room was only very crowded compared to those families with few children in the past when they lived in more than a hundred owners.

When the family first split, the mansion still had some money.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

But don’t forget that the original body still has twenty concubines and one legitimate daughter to get married, and then sixteen concubines to get married. The ages between these concubines and daughters are almost the same, and they almost have to be completed within five years. Not to mention how much the show will cost when getting married, the amount of gold and silver required for these twenty-one dowry and the seventeen betrothal gifts is an extremely terrifying number.

Seeing so many things and having to pay so much money, the original body really regretted it and I wished to strangle a few of them to death on the spot.

It was not until then that the original body understood why many mistresses from noble families in the capital had to give medicine to their concubines. If they really didn't get medicine and let them live, they would really be a hole where even a wealth of wealth could not fill the dowry and betrothal gift.

Of course, if the original body remembers to keep the man’s betrothal gift when marrying his daughter, then although he still has to pay a lot of money, he will not lose his wealth at least.

But the original body needs face.

Those who love their daughters in the capital will bring the dowry and betrothal gifts to their daughters. In order not to embarrass their own daughters, it is natural that the original body cannot keep the betrothal gifts sent by the son-in-law. If the legitimate daughters of their own family are not kept, then the other concubines will not be able to keep them, otherwise they will have a bad reputation outside.

So, I could only slap my face and pretend to be fat.

After the original body finished the marriage of all the children, the marquis's mansion was almost emptied. Later, it was only after the original body sold the dowry and increased revenue and reduced expenditure, which lasted for more than ten years.
Chapter completed!
