Zuer called General Qian to Yuyuan and waited for his son-in-law's instructions.

General Qian is a subordinate of the second wife who brought her from the Xie family. She is now in charge of a group of miscellaneous affairs in the Pingwang Mansion, and she has a lot of real power.

Chu Tianxiu sat in the study chair, drinking a cup of fragrant tea, and told Qian Dazhong: "I want to pay three or five thousand taels of silver from the account to improve my life."

Although Manager Qian did not agree with this son-in-law Xiaohunhou, he clearly distinguished the master and servant, and was very respectful in his face.

He bent and listened in a deep ear. He was shocked when he heard this, "Son-in-law, I want three to three to five thousand taels of silver... to improve my life?"

This is nearly 5,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of servants in the royal palace spend a year.

He was a little suspicious that he had heard the number wrongly. But looking at Xiao Hunhou's expression as if he was taken for granted, it should be nothing wrong, just asking for three to five thousand taels of silver.

Manager Qian was stunned.

The head of the four major playboys in Jinling who were born in the Hunhou Mansion!

Extravagant and extremely desireful!

No wonder the wealth of Hunhou’s mansion, even the money borrowed from everywhere, was completely ruined by Xiao Hunhou.

The Hunhou Mansion has been squandered by him, and now he has a crush on the property of the Pingwang Mansion.

It was only three days since Xiaohunhou asked for a "small money" of three or five thousand taels of silver. Although the Pingwang Mansion had money, it could not withstand his defeat at one time!

However, the Pingwang Mansion is not the Hunhou Mansion. The financial power was squeezed tightly by the second wife. Xiao Hunhou went to the door of the Wang Mansion and wanted to splurge, which was absolutely impossible.

However, he, a manager, could not, and did not dare to say anything about it.

Manager Qian immediately showed a hint of embarrassment and decisively shirked: "Son-in-law, the villain can only be responsible for small expenses below ten taels of silver. If more than one hundred taels of silver, you have to ask the second wife to make the decision. The rules of the Prince's Mansion are strict, please understand me and ask the second wife to approve the money!"

The second wife is the housewife of the Prince Ping's Mansion. Only her master can control Xiaohunhou, the son-in-law.

King Ping was busy with his affairs and didn't care about the expenses in the royal palace at all. The second wife had the final say in the large expenses in the mansion.

"Just three or five thousand silvers, I have to ask the second wife for it?"

Chu Tianxiu was helpless, "Forget it, take me to find her!"

I don’t have money, so it’s so troublesome.

In the past, I was in the Hunhou Mansion, and I had tens of thousands of taels of silver. Xiao Hunhou did not need to ask others, which was just a matter of wavering.

At the moment, the expenses of only three or five thousand taels of silver were only required to give up Xiao Hunhou's face and ask for help.

Moreover, since he came to the door, the second wife's face turned ugly. He didn't want to see her at all, but... he had no money in his pocket, so he could only find this second wife with an ugly face!

...

moment.

Chu Tianxiu brought Zuer and General Qian to the main hall of the royal palace together.

But the second wife was watching the guests. Xie Lingyun, a son of the Xie family, one of the top ten clans in Jinling, left Chu Tianxiu, the son-in-law aside.

Chu Tianxiu was not in a hurry and stayed by her side.

The second wife Xie Liyuan and her nephew were discussing the matter of the two families of Li and Xie, recommending each other's children to participate in the imperial court annual election.

"Aunt, how do you think of my nephew's book of "Recommendation" written for Li Gannian?"

Xie Lingyun said respectfully.

Li Gannian is a nephew of Ping Wang Li Rong, and is also the elector of the Li family who elected him to serve as an official this year.

The second wife specially asked him, the talented son of Xie, to write a copy of "Recommendation" for the children of Li.

"Well, it's not bad. The writing is short and concise, dazzling and magnificent. The ones you will recommend are like poems, which is very outstanding."

The second wife's eyes were slightly brighter, and she admired the nephew of the Xie family very much.

Xie Lingyun is not very talented and has a slight lack of political wisdom. However, his poetry and essays are amazing and he is known as the best young poet in Jinling.

"Aunt...that's the recommendation from Xie's family..."

Xie Lingyun asked worriedly.

"Don't worry! I'll mention it to your prime minister grandfather. The Xie family recommended you to become an official this year."

The second wife smiled faintly and said, "As for your recommendation, write it yourself. Tomorrow, we will send these two recommendations to the public car office together, so don't miss the matter. When the court asks for advice, you only need to answer the questions in a proper manner. Grandpa will guarantee you to be a county magistrate. With your talent and poetry, you will definitely be praised by the emperor, and it is not impossible to become the nine ministers in the future."

"It's my aunt, my nephew will definitely seize this opportunity. I won't disturb my aunt anymore, I'll say goodbye first!"

Xie Lingyun was happy and stood up to say goodbye, and bowed to Chu Tianxiu to say goodbye.

There are hundreds of children of the Xie family.

Grandpa Xie Hu Yong's prime minister had dozens of legitimate grandsons alone, and he was only one of the legitimate grandsons. However, Xie only recommended one official position every year.

If he missed the best age to recommend an official, the young juniors of the Xie family continued to rise and compete for him, and it would be very difficult for him to become an official in the future.

This year, Li and Xie exchanged quotas for their children to become officials. It was very difficult for him to get this quota.

...

Xie Lingyun said goodbye.

The second wife Xie Liyuan finally had time to deal with the matter of Chu Tianxiu's son-in-law paying for money to buy a workshop.

Manager Qian reported the matter to the second wife in detail.

She looked at Xiaohunhou's face and became colder.

"You want to pay three or five thousand taels of silver to improve your life?"

She snorted coldly in her heart.

The 100,000 taels of silver hole lent to the Hunhou Mansion two years ago has not been filled yet.

"It's not impossible to pay money. But our Pingwangfu family has a great business. Everything must be carefully calculated in advance, and you must live within your means. You must not increase your expenses at will, otherwise your property will be ruined in a few years. My mother, the family, will also be responsible.

The royal mansion’s budget expenditure this year is full, and there is no way to allocate the money.

Otherwise, you can ask the prince directly and arrange the expenses into next year's budget?"

Under the cold eyes of the second wife, there was a lot of jokes and ridicule.

Chu Tianxiu was almost fainted by anger.

Manager Qian pushed the second wife to the prince again, and one was shirked, but he was unwilling to give the money.

Even if he asks the prince for money, he still needs to place the expenditure budget for next year?

The question is, can he wait?

It seems that his son-in-law from the Prince Ping's Mansion will never expect to get one tael of silver from the Prince Ping's Mansion in the future.

Forget it!

Chu Tianxiu was secretly annoyed and didn't want to stay in the hall of the palace. She stood up and said goodbye and left, and found another way to get the money for papermaking.

The second wife looked calm.

With her, the most talented woman in the Xie family, who is in charge of the Pingwang Mansion, Xiaohunhou still wants to spend money and make a fortune. Dream about you!
