Chapter 57
The main sources of income for the Marquis of Qinyang's mansion are the fief of Marquis Qinyang and the Princess Yongning.

The Marquis of Qinyang had a lot of fiefdoms, all of which were economically developed areas. However, after the founding of the Taizu, in order to fill the treasury, taxes were added in various places, especially in economically developed places, and they were handed over layer by layer. There was not much left for the Marquis.In addition, since Emperor Yong came to the throne, the tax was light and the tax was light, and the standard was relaxed to [-] taxes. The income that can really go to Qin Yanghou is even less. The dowry of Princess Yongning.

But the eldest princess Yongning has a biological daughter, and all her food was given to Shu Yao, and Qin Yanghou's mansion only took over some shops.This was because Shu Yao had a big heart and had never been to those shops before, which gave Pan an opportunity to change the pawn shop's people inside and out, and most of the income went to the Hou Mansion.

Pan's got a lot of income from the shop, plus the rewards from the palace during the festivals, Qin Yanghou's mansion has a little surplus, so they don't live in such a poor life, and occasionally they have more money, and they can buy some valuables.

However, during this period of time, Qin Yanghou often attended banquets and spent all the money Pan's hard-earned savings.Not only that, Qin Yanghou actually wanted to hold a banquet in the Hou's mansion, Li Qingchu had the final say, if the money for the banquet was spent, the gifts from others had to be given out as well. Instead more.

Li Qing gritted her teeth at the beginning, no wonder Pan's smile was mocking when he handed over the account book to her, it turned out that she had expected it a long time ago.The shops are all Pan's people, so she naturally couldn't go directly to the shop to ask for money like Pan's did. This is a hole dug for her to jump in.

This old woman, who stayed in Qin Yanghou's mansion for half her life, failed to catch Qin Yanghou's heart, but she has a knack for grinding people.

However, she is young and beautiful, so she will not worry about everything like Mrs. Pan, there is really no other way, just return this ledger to Mrs. Pan first.Anyway, she has plenty of time to spend with Mrs. Pan.

Marquis Qin Yang came back from drinking at night, and walked into Yuechu Courtyard drunkenly.He has been proud of his officialdom recently, and he has been exalted by praise. He has long forgotten the previous conflicts with Shu Yao and Emperor Yong, and he loves Li Qingchu more and more.

This kind of transformation started when Li Qingchu entered the mansion. Although he sent away the unlucky Li Mingji, Li Qingchu was his lucky star and brought him a lot of good luck.

After some tenderness, Qin Yanghou put his arms around Li Qingchu, remembered something, and said: "Chu Niang, next month will be His Majesty's birthday, and now you are in charge of the account, you should think about what birthday gift you can prepare for His Majesty. "

This is the crucial time for him to please Emperor Yong.If the birthday ceremony makes Emperor Yong happy, not only can he and Emperor Yong settle down, maybe he can be promoted.

Emperor Yong recently cut down many officials in the court, and it was the occasion for employing people.Qin Yanghou boasted that he was extremely talented, and as long as Emperor Yong was willing to grant him an official position, he would definitely do something.

Qin Yanghou was constructing his grand blueprint in his heart, but Li Qingchu in his arms was slightly stiff.Leaning on Qin Yanghou's chest, she said coquettishly, "Master Hou, this concubine only started to look at the account book, so don't worry."

Preparing for a birthday gift?How can the Hou Mansion have spare money to buy a birthday gift for His Majesty!This is how to do?
……

After a long rainy day, the chrysanthemums bloomed for the first time after the Double Ninth Festival. The Marquis of Qinyang took advantage of the east wind for appreciating chrysanthemums and held a banquet in the mansion.

Shu Yao was also very surprised to receive the invitation from the Marquis of Qinyang.I thought Qin Yanghou would have no face to associate with her after such a disturbance last time.Unexpectedly, Qin Yanghou and Pan Shi could hold their breath so calmly and wanted to invite her back again.

Shu Yao decided to join in the excitement.

Taking a soft sedan chair to the Marquis of Qinyang's Mansion, Shu Yao couldn't help but click her tongue as she watched the cars coming and going and the ladies dressed in brocade clothes: "Why are there so many people here?"

When did her wretched father have such a big influence?

Princess Jiayi, who came with her, looked Shu Yao up and down, lowered her voice, and said meaningfully: "Shu Yao, guess what these young gentlemen are here to reward?"

The Xie family has lost power, and the aristocratic family knows that there is no chance between him and the little princess.His Majesty doesn't trust the Xie family anymore, so how can he be willing to marry his most beloved niece to Xie Yanzhou?

In this way, the little princess who has reached the age of Ji but has not yet engaged in marriage has become a hot marriage partner.May I ask, who wouldn't want to marry the most recognized beauty in the capital, and be His Majesty's son-in-law?
The conversation between the two young ladies did not escape Li Mingji's ears. Li Mingji narrowed his eyes and glanced at the young noble children present without any trace.

As Princess Jiayi said, many noble children were peeking at Shu Yao.Some were bolder and took the initiative to talk to Shu Yao, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the princess is much more beautiful. When will the princess be free to go to the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Glib, Li Mingji thought.The little princess has been busy drawing birthday gifts for Emperor Yong recently, so how could she be free to go to some hunting grounds.

Sure enough, Shu Yao refused without hesitation: "I don't have time recently."

The nobleman was reluctant to part: "Isn't there any more in a while? The capital will open at the end of the year, and there will be many beautiful and interesting gadgets to be delivered to my house. If the princess likes parrots, raccoons, ferrets, and foxes, come here directly." Pick it."

Shu Yao's eyes brightened up: "My Princess, please think about it."

They are just some beasts, what is the need to look at them?These playboys have too many tricks, and I don't know how many young ladies have been favored by these methods.

Li Mingji snorted coldly in his heart, but after the nobleman left, he smiled softly at Shu Yao and said softly: "Princess, my subordinates have heard that there are rare and exotic beasts in Chunjiang Huayue Tower. If the princess is interested, you can go there." have a look."

Princess Jiayi was suspicious: "Impossible? I have bought things from Chunjiang Huayuelou for several years, and I have never heard of them selling this."

It is not for sale now, when the little princess needs it, it will naturally be available.

Shu Yao and Li Mingji stood aside: "It must be because you don't know enough."

She is very clear that Li Mingji is now the Commander of the Imperial City Division, what news in the capital does he not know?
Princess Jiayi was so angry, she was Shu Yao's cousin, how could Shu Yao speak up for this poor guard?
Really obsessive, superficial!
Shu Yao wandered around Qinyanghou's mansion and hadn't come for a long time, but now visiting as a guest is a very strange experience.Qin Yanghou really spent a lot of money on this banquet, not only did he invite many noble children, Shu Yao also saw the prince.

"Gu is out of the palace today to do some business, and I heard that Marquis Qin Yang is holding a banquet in the mansion, so I stopped by to have a look," the prince smiled, "I didn't expect cousin Yaoyao and A Yuan to be in Marquis Qin's mansion."

He saw that the jade rabbit gold hairpin was still stuck in Shu Yao's hair.

Does she like that hairpin so much?But she never wore the Mid-Autumn Festival gift he gave her.
