Many people think that the entertainment life in ancient times was boring.

It was not just in ancient times, but it was boring before TV became popular.

Those children who grew up watching TV series and cartoons all day long originally thought there was nothing happier than this, but a decade or twenty years later, smartphones let the new generation of young people know what the happiness of falling is.

But in fact, in ancient times, they themselves would not feel that their lives were too boring.

In daily life, ordinary people spend almost all their time in order to survive. How can they still have the intention to consider whether they are boring or happy?

The high-ranking officials who don’t know the colorful life in the future will not feel boring.

They don’t have TV series or cartoons, but they often go to travel around, watch operas, telling books, listening to music on Huafang Huabao... etc.

What's more, there are so many beautiful ladies in the Huafang Flower Building that can go out and play openly. Isn't this a fairy life?

As a member of the royal family, Princess Yu also has her own circle.

She and a group of nobles and royal family members would gather together from time to time, hold a tea party and chat, discuss the storybook, or find a opera troupe to come and listen to the opera.

Today is the game that Princess Rui has saved up, and there are still a lot of people coming, including thirty or forty female relatives, their maids and servants, etc., which makes the Rui Palace a little crowded.

As we all know, things that are difficult to live in the capitals of every dynasty.

Especially when several consecutive dynasties have established their capital here, it will be even more difficult to live here.

The Imperial Palace itself was the capital of the previous dynasty. The founding Taizu of the Dakang Dynasty did not even change his name, so he brought his civil and military officials, wives, concubines and children to settle here.

The remnants of the previous dynasty are easy to clear out, but those people who have lived here for generations cannot drive them out just because they have changed their masters.

Therefore, after the land and houses that can be occupied in the capital were occupied, the next generation of royal relatives and nobles and children of officials seemed less spacious at least in terms of residence.

Of course, it doesn't mean there is no place to live.

Since the founding of the capital of the Dakang Dynasty, no changes have been made to the walls of the previous dynasty, but outside the capital, it has been put in a lot of effort to manage and explore.

Now there are at least 500,000 people living in a large area with a radius of thirty miles to the outside city, with all kinds of places to eat, drink and play, and providing very sufficient labor for the capital city.

Such continuous towns surround the capital, like stars surrounding the sun. The houses in many places are well built, the prices are not cheap, and they are very popular.

However, the children of nobles and officials can build villas and vacation homes outside, but the main house is absolutely impossible to be outside the capital.

After moving the main house out of the city walls of the capital, they were like abandoned and down-and-out households, completely without soul.

So no matter how difficult it is, they have to live in the capital.

In this way, after a hundred years of continuous reproduction, there are even less land and houses available for sale in the capital.

In any capital of a country, there are essential things to take advantage of tricks and robberies, but it is absolutely impossible to have too many things. Otherwise, if the capital is in chaos, the emperor will be the first to be affected.

In all dynasties, there are many examples of people in the capital rushing into the palace and rioting.

Especially in this dynasty, the emperor cared about the people and had great restrictions on nobles, royal families, officials, etc., so such conflict-creating things gradually became very rare.

You cannot use your own power to gain benefits, so even a prince like King Rui has only five yards in the capital.

One is in the Imperial City, two are in the inner city, and the last two are already in the outer city.

Among them, the imperial city was given by the former emperor. When King Rui died, the prince's house would be taken back and given by the prince's reward the next time.

At that time, the descendants of King Rui could only live in the houses in the inner and outer cities, where they could truly be passed down from their property.

So take a look.

Even the princes had only a few houses, and the restrictions on these powerful people were really at the extreme.

This time, the location where Princess Rui organized a bureau was the house in the inner city of Prince Rui's mansion. The large courtyard with three inlets and three outflows was more than two acres of land. However, the first two inlets were not used to greet guests, and the last entry was the place for partying and entertainment.

If it is the convener of King Rui, then it is usually just drinking tea, listening to opera and music.

Princess Rui convenes people, usually women chat, brag, and gossip.

Throughout history, where women are there, the water in the rivers and lakes will be very deep.

If you want to chat and talk with someone of Princess Rui, your identities cannot be too far apart.

Just looking at the guests who came today, in addition to the five princes and princesses, there were more than ten princes and princes, and more than ten princes and princes. With their servants and maids, the total number was more than two hundred.

The people were resting in front. There were so many people coming in the hall and garden at the third time, and everyone felt that it was much hotter.

Princess Yu encountered small trouble as soon as she came in.

"Oh, isn't this Princess Yu? Why are you here? I thought your family made a fortune by making soap and looked down on us poor relatives?"

The woman who speaks is about thirty years old, with a graceful and beautiful face, and is covered with rouge lipstick. In her noble spirit, she has unconcealed provocation.

Princess Yu is a noble child, so she could not suffer in front of so many people.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Hehe, I thought it was a bad guy who was talking. It turned out to be the sister of Princess Li! When it comes to making a fortune, how can we compare to you? It was just that after being punched a few times in an understatement, you could earn 10,000 taels of gold. It was not so easy and happy to be a robber."

"Pooh!"

Princess Li was furious, "It's obvious that your son is so brave that he can take revenge on my son. Shouldn't he be compensated?"

"Who told your son to be despicable and shameless to report his cousin?" Princess Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "The family does not love each other, but instead harms their relatives. Are you not ashamed of the word "Li" in the Li Palace?"

"If you don't report any illegal or discipline, you will be ashamed of your ancestors!" Princess Li refused without showing any weakness, "Also, the emperor said 10,000 taels of gold, you only gave 100,000 taels of silver. Is it interesting to be so clever?"

"What's wrong? It's illegal to replace gold with silver? Everyone is willing to give it that way. What's wrong? He's really good at getting a bargain!" Princess Yu replied with a sneer.

It was not surprising that the two princesses met and quarreled here.

All the people in the capital knew about this incident some time ago, let alone them.

Everyone knows that Prince Yu became smarter as if he was shining, but he also suffered a great loss. When he was summoning a group of noble family members to gamble, he was reported by King Li's second son Duke Lu, and was caught on the spot and sent to the palace for a while.

As a result, Prince Yu was not the one who suffered a loss.

After he came out, he summoned the group of gambling friends, blocked Duke Lu and beat him up on the spot. If there weren't a group of loyal slaves who blocked Duke Lu and fled back to the Prince Li's Mansion on his back, he might have been beaten even worse.

The emperor was furious now. Not only did he beat Prince Yu and others again, he also ordered them to compensate Duke Lu for 10,000 taels of gold.

Ten thousand taels of gold!

Speaking of this number, from royal relatives and nobles to ordinary people, they all envy, jealousy and hatred.

Because this dynasty had various restrictions on the children of noble families, the salary was given very high as compensation.

The salary of the prince of the Dakang Dynasty was "the annual salary of 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 hu of rice."

The Dakang Dynasty, who could support a family of three, could only pay ten taels of silver, and the prince's salary was enough for them to support a thousand people in the mansion.

Not to mention that important royal children receive double salary, and the rewards in the palace during festivals must be equivalent to a salary.

Therefore, the children of the royal family actually received three salaries.

Even so, if you don’t do business, a dignified imperial prince will only earn a total of 60,000 taels of silver in a year.

This is the prince.

The next-level prince only has 30,000 taels of silver a year.

Liu Mingqi and the others compensated Duke Lu for 100,000 taels of silver, which was almost a two-year salary for a prince and a more than three-year salary for a prince.

You said that the Li Palace was so useless, would you be happy?

It must be that except Duke Lu, everyone else was happy!

All his parents are happy!

As for the fact that Princess Yu and others exchanged the gold they compensated for for silver and took advantage of the private exchange rate, no one found it strange.

This kind of advantage is an idiot!

"Two sisters, why are you arguing? Stop quickly, the hall is ready, let's go to the hall to sit!"

It was not until the two of them had a quarrel that someone came to stop them.

The person who speaks is also elegant and luxurious, so he is naturally the mistress of Prince Rui's mansion, Princess Rui.

Seeing the hostess appear, the two princesses naturally had trouble arguing anymore, so they followed Princess Rui into the cool large living room.

Princess Rui seems to be trying to smooth things over, but she actually has a bias.

For example, when she went in, she was holding Princess Yu's hand.

The reason is very simple.

Princess Rui's eldest daughter Zhiyu, also known as the Eighth Girl, was also one of the people who gathered to gamble this time, and even personally participated in the beating Duke Lu.

But because she was loyal, she was only hit by the emperor. The compensation she deserved was taken by Liu Mingqi, causing Prince Li's Mansion to lose 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver.

Princess Rui naturally remembered this love in her heart, and she must have been so sincere to Princess Yu.

Princess Li knew this very well, so she could only snort coldly, but it was difficult to show it.

After all, this time her second son offended not only King Yu, King Rui, King Yi, and the group of relatives. They all lost money after being beaten.

So even if Princess Li didn't want to come this time, she still came.

On the one hand, I want to show my own guidance, and on the other hand, I want to take the opportunity to ease the relationship.

After seeing Princess Yu who was in the limelight recently, she couldn't help it for a while, and just sarcastically sarcastically caused a noise.

But Princess Li will never regret it.

Those bastards from Donkey Day almost beat their son to paralyzed. No matter how I scold them, it is all right!

...

Thank you and reward, beg the men to collect it, and recommend it!
