Chapter 50

Night falls.

The noisy day of the Spring Festival has finally come to an end.

As soon as Chu Yanyu entered the Xiyu Palace on the front foot, the gifts from the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother on the back foot were already delivered, which are all rare and precious good things.

Chu Yanyu changed into comfortable sleeping clothes, and happily flipped through the gifts.

"The empress also gave 15 taels of silver notes. The empress dowager also gave 10 taels." Chun Yuan clicked her tongue.

Chu Yanyu came over curiously, each with a big red envelope.

"Ah? Why did the grandmother and queen mother give so many banknotes?"

"Princess, princess, guess how much we won?" Xia He ran in excitedly, holding a large stack of silver bills in his hand.

Chu Yanyu turned her head, her eyes widened, "How much?"

"It's five times the compensation, and we won a total of 5 taels." Xia He stretched out five fingers vigorously.

"My darling, this princess has made a fortune." Chu Yanyu stuck out her tongue.

"The slaves also brought the list of people who bought the princess to win."

Chun Yuan took it, "Sure enough, the empress dowager bet 1000 taels, the empress empress bet [-] taels, and the two will give the princess all the winnings. Hey, General Huo also bet [-] taels."

Chu Yanyu stared, "Who?"

Seeing Huo Qingyu bet 1000 taels, Chu Yanyu was dumbfounded.

After the big marriage in the previous life, the old lady taught her how to be in charge of the family, so she knew very well the family background of the Huo family.

The 30 Huo family's army fought for a hundred years, and countless people died in battle. The military pay and pensions given by the court are limited, and almost all of the Huo family's belongings have been invested in General Huo.

1000 taels of silver is almost the bottom line of Huo Qingyu, a poor man.

Hmph, for his white moonlight, he is willing.

After getting 30 taels of silver, Chu Yanyu was in a good mood, but she was not angry.

Outside the door, it suddenly became lively.

Xia He turned around and went out to take a look. Soon, he returned with a smile, "Princess, it is His Royal Highness, the concubines and the princes who have sent congratulatory gifts."

Chu Yanyu sipped the sunflower seeds and drank tea.

With a smile, they watched the palace maids shuttle back and forth, and the concubines and brothers sent gifts one by one.

Jewelry playthings quickly pile up into hills.

The most eye-catching is a half-human-high fire-red coral reef.

"Niang Niang originally wanted to come to congratulate her in person, but because she was unwell, she could only send slaves and maids to send this flaming coral reef to the princess to congratulate her."

Chu Yanyu bent down and widened her eyes to take a closer look.

"The flame coral reef, the priceless tribute to the East China Sea, the concubine Xi is also willing."

"Princess Xiyu likes it, so our empress will be happy."

"Well, I like it." Chu Yanyu touched the red coral, "It's really beautiful. Chunyuan, put it in the center of the hall."

"Yes." Chunyuan smiled and shoved a heavy purse into the palace maid's hand, and the palace maid thanked her and left.

After finally sending a large group of people away, Chunyuan lit the soothing incense.

"Princess, go to bed early, and go to Yi'an Palace to fast after taking a bath tomorrow morning."

"Hmm, hey, I can't eat meat for three days." The little girl pouted and climbed into bed.

Chunyuan smiled, "Isn't it just right, isn't the princess always clamoring to lose weight and imitating Miss Bai?"

"Hmph, what's so good about being as thin as a hemp."

"That's right, it's a blessing for the princess to be round and jade-like."

Chu Yanyu twisted her soft belly, "Well, it's cute and fat."

In her previous life, in order to be a woman Huo Qingyu liked, she worked hard to lose weight, and even gave up her favorite meat and sweets.

But hard work, in exchange for what?
In this world, she only lives for herself, how can she be happy.

It's a big deal, if you don't hire a concubine, and raise ten or eight heads, who would dare to despise her?

"Chunyuan, leave 1 taels of silver, and the remaining 29 taels I'm going to do business with. You ask Dong Lu to find her brother to find the most famous shopkeeper of Qin in the south of the Yangtze River. He should be in the capital. Well, I want to invite He is my boss."

"Princess is making money?" Chunyuan was surprised.

"The money I earned is so happy, it's a waste of money to keep it."

In her previous life, her dowry was Shili Hongzhuang.

But she was pampered and used to luxury since she was a child, and after a few years of tossing, she was spent.

The Huo family is also honest and naturally can't afford her expenses.

I remember one winter, news came from the northwest that the military rations and cotton-padded clothes supplies of the imperial court were delayed.

In desperation, Mrs. Huo actually wanted to buy the Huo family's ancestral house.

After she found out, she gave all the rest of the dowry to Mrs. Huo, and went to the palace to beg her father.

However, the father said that the treasury was empty and that he could not raise silver taels for the time being.

She didn't believe such an excuse.

In the end, it was the mother's mother who tried her best to transfer all her own softness and her mother's deposit, so that she could collect the military rations. In the end, the cotton clothes and quilts had not yet arrived.

At that time, she really wanted to help Huo Qingyu.

After marrying into the Huo family, she only knew what it means to suffer from civil misery, what is corruption, and what it means to be unable to move without money.

 See you tomorrow
