Chapter 229 The Good Duke's Mansion Let You Both Live Hard(1/2)

Chapter 229: A good Duke’s Mansion will make you two live a dilapidated house!

After sending the servant out, Tang came to the account room alone and asked how much money there was on the counter.

The accountant didn't even look at the account book, so he took a wooden box and put it in front of Tang for her to read it by herself.

Tang's eyes were red after only one look.

Because there were only a few pieces of silver and a large handful of copper coins in the huge wooden box.

"Why are there only so many left?"

"Miss Mother, I could have a twenty-two tael, but today the third master said he was going to entertain a few friends and asked someone to find an errand for him, so he paid twenty taels from the account. Isn't that all the rest..."

"These third brothers..."

Tang was angry and angry when he heard this. If the vendors came to collect debts tomorrow and the family could not pay out the money, then their family would become the biggest joke in Beijing!

Thinking of this, Tang quickly picked a golden hairpin from his head and handed it over.

"Old Fan, please find a pawnshop to take this as a preservation!"

When Manager Fan saw this scene, his eyes were red immediately.

"Miss Mother!"

"This is your last decent piece of jewelry. You have to leave yourself some decentness!"

Tang said bitterly and authentically when he heard this.

"What is decent or not? First, settle the food money from the butcher shop and the vegetable market. This is the greatest decency!"

While the two of them were pushing each other, Feng led two mothers and carried a heavy box and walked in. Seeing the old servant holding Tang's golden hairpin in his hand, he immediately knew that Tang was unable to move around and secretly ordered someone to pawn the jewelry.

When Feng saw this, he sighed slightly. He didn't expect that the head of the founding Duke's mansion would end up in such a field...

Feng walked forward, took the golden hairpin from Manager Fan, and inserted it into Tang's head again.

Like Chang Sheng, Tang was also a good-looking person. Seeing that he was pawning jewelry by Feng, he quickly bit the bullet and explained.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too careful. This piece of jewelry is old. I asked Manager Fan to take it outside and remade it..."

Feng smiled slightly when he heard this and quipped with a smile.

"This is the jewelry given by the Crown Princess. You actually dislike the old style. What a courageous one!"

When Tang heard this, he immediately looked frightened. Chang Sheng treated the late crown princess very respectfully. If this was heard by the silly and stupid ears, he would really dare to let himself go.

"Sister-in-law, my brother and sister know that they are wrong. My brother and sister are also negligent. Don't spread it..."

Feng sighed again when he saw Tang being scared like this.

The couple really have a good time. It is obviously a Wuxun family, so how could they have such a timid and fearful personality?

In fact, Feng had known that the couple had a tight hand, and she had mentioned it to Chang Sheng several times, so he would not have to give himself a silver every time he paid his salary.

After all, Feng's family was also the daughter of Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and he would not have to rely on the Chang family's salary to live.

However, the two fools Chang Sheng didn't listen. When they were anxious, they knelt on the ground and cried, saying that they had robbed the title of their elder brother's family. If their elder sister-in-law didn't accept it, she would look down on him.

Feng was also so annoyed by the two fools in the Chang family that he had been so obsessed for so many years.

But she just kept it in, and it was useless.

Her own dowry was more than enough to support their mothers. In addition, the industry left by Chang Mao during his lifetime was enough for them to survive, so they really couldn't use the money.

These days, she saw Tang's anxious for the emperor's birthday ceremony, so she waited for Tang to speak to her, but she didn't expect that this stupid brother and sister were of the same virtue as that stupid Changsheng. Even if he was in trouble now, he would rather pawn the valuable jewelry on his body than ask her, his eldest sister-in-law, to speak to her. She simply didn't treat herself as a member of the Chang family!

"There are two silvers here, you can use it for flowers first."

"I have ordered people to clean up the Xiqianyuan and can move over tonight. When I vacate the main house, you can move in with your second brother."

When Tang heard Feng say this, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a plop, holding Feng's hand and crying.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? But what is the point of your brother and sister doing incompletely that makes your sister-in-law angry?"

When Feng heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, so he raised his hand and slapped Tang.

"Damn it!"

"As as confused as your servant!"

"In the past, our family kept their doors to thank the guests and did not walk around with the nobles in Beijing. It would be fine if I, a widow, lived in the main house, but I didn't have to entertain any distinguished guests anyway."

"Today, the Third Emperor's Grandson will visit in person, and it will spread throughout the capital in one night. After this evening, you can just look at the relatives who have never been asked for in the past and old friends. In less than two days, you can break through the threshold of our family!"

"It would be fine if it was just some poor relatives. If other vassal kings came to visit, would you also lead people to your East Cross Courtyard?"

"You couple don't think it's embarrassing, I think it's embarrassing!"

"If this is spread, it is hard to say how outsiders can evaluate you couple, but I must be called Feng's ignorant. It is obvious that the widow wants to occupy the main house of the Duke's Mansion. What kind of conciseness is this!"

Tang was really ashamed when he heard this, but she really didn't dare to let her move in.

If she dares to move, wouldn’t Chang Sheng, that old-fashioned person, turn against him?

"Sister-in-law, this..."

Feng squatted down and helped Tang tidy up his messed hair, saying softly.

"My brother and sister-in-law, just consider it for the reputation of your sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has two daughters in her family who are not married. If my sister-in-law has a reputation of not knowing how to get ahead and retreat, how can you let your two nieces get married in the future!"

Tang knew that this was something to comfort her, but the more she knew, the more sour she felt in her heart, and tears burst out uncontrollably, hitting the ground one by one and also hitting Feng's heart.

"sister in law……"

Seeing this, Feng's eyes were filled with tears. He quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and hurriedly wiped his tears for Tang.

"Stop crying, you have to entertain the Third Emperor's Grand Historian in a while!"

"When I go back, tell your two fools that our family is different now. We should not just close the door and live a life. Even if we don't think about our father-in-law's reputation, we have to accumulate some connections for His Highness the Third Emperor!"

Feng said this and lay down in Tang's ear and whispered in a low voice.

"I heard from my father that Your Majesty is interested in the Third Emperor's Grand His Majesty, this is the last chance for our Chang family to turn the tables. If you miss it, let alone the title of the Chang family, we can't even keep our current life..."

"Our family is connected with the bloodline of the Three Emperors and Grandsons. One prospers and one prospers and one loss!"

When Tang heard Feng say this, his face was full of surprise.

Their family has been out of touch with the palace for too long, and may not have been able to move around with the ordinary noble families in Beijing for a long time, but just maintain a close relationship.

Therefore, their family doesn’t know much about the Third Emperor’s Grandson, only knowing that His Majesty the Emperor loves the Third Emperor’s Grandson…

"Sister-in-law, my brother and sister understand. I promise not to embarrass the Chang family!"

When Feng heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

Relatively speaking, she still prefers this younger brother and sister. Tang is still a little more contentious, and is much more cowardly than Chang Er's melon.

"Then go and do your work quickly. Don't let outsiders say that we have neglected the Third Emperor's Grand Historian, so as not to cause jokes from outsiders!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then the younger brother and sister-in-law are not polite to the elder sister-in-law. Let's spend the money temporarily, and then wait until there is money in the account..."

When Feng heard this, his pretty face turned cold and he interrupted Tang without hesitation.

"You dare to say something more, believe it or not, I will continue to slap you!"

When Tang heard this, he was so scared that he hurriedly covered his face. Seeing Tang like this, Feng quickly pulled him up and patted her on the back of her hand.

"Go and do your business!"

"If our family doesn't speak two words, it will seem apart if we talk about those!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then thank you sister-in-law!"

Feng went out of the account room and happened to see Chang Yong and others carrying pigs and mutton, carrying the whole basket of various vegetables. She hurriedly called them and went forward to check them.

"The pork is not very fresh, it should have been killed in the morning, and the remaining ones were not sold out during the day. The mutton is pretty good, it looks like it was just slaughtered."

"The vegetables are also average, but you can only buy these at this time."

"Pig is hung in the well first, and keep it for food at the mansion tomorrow. You go to the butcher shop and ask the boss to pick up a fat pig and slaughter it. Don't worry about anything else. Just take a small piece of plum blossom meat behind your neck and send it back to the mansion quickly. I personally cook a few dishes for the third emperor's grandson!"

Chang Yong was originally a person who liked to show off, so he was naturally happy when he heard this and thought to himself that this was what the Chang family should do!

"Okay!"

"Madam, wait a moment, the younger one will go buy pigs!"

"Slow down, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Buy thirty more fat chickens, buy a few crucian carp, and frosting..."

Feng explained more than a dozen things in a row, fearing that Chang Yong would not remember them, so he asked him to repeat them before letting him go.

Tang kept listening to him. Although he secretly admired his sister-in-law for her thoughtful thoughts, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed and felt that it was too extravagant.

It’s just to entertain the third emperor’s grandson, so how can we use so many fat chickens?

"Sister-in-law, this is too much, can the Third Emperor Grandson finish eating?"
