Chapter 11 Mother and Child 2 (Favorites!)
Their income is really not much.

The Xiao family in Yujing City, or he and his mother, although they have farm shops, most of them are in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time to Beijing, they only brought 50 taels of cash, which was already all the property he and A Niang could take away from the Xiao family.

And after half a year of spending, there was not much money left.

So, now his mother asks him for money, he is very embarrassed,
He lowered his head and was silent for a while before saying:
"Mother, the housekeeper only posted the account last month, and we only have 3 taels of silver in our account, but our monthly expenses alone cost 1 taels of silver.

This is not counting the exchange of favors. Now that the son has been granted an official position by the Emperor of Wei, some money has to be left for socializing in the officialdom.

We don't have much left over, and the expenses have been high! "Xiao Han said in embarrassment.

"I understand my son's difficulties, father and elder brother are too cruel,
Saburo had just lost his country, so he cruelly abandoned our mother and daughter and refused to recognize us. "Mother Xiao looked heartbroken.

Emperor Chen Mo was the third among the brothers, so Mother Xiao called him Sanlang.

But he was the eldest son of the previous emperor of Chen State, so he inherited the throne naturally.

"No matter what, you can't call Sanlang too aggrieved. He has just celebrated the New Year and he also wants to reward people.
I remember that when he was in Chen State, he spent more than one million taels on a Qianqiu Festival, not to mention the New Year's Day?
5 taels of silver is not enough for Saburo to reward a person once.

He is your father, how can you bear to see him lose face in front of the northerners, his loss of face is your loss of face.

Debit 1 taels from the public account, take 2 taels from my dowry, and make up 3 taels to send to your father. "

Xiao's mother said to Xiao Han in a tone that if you disagree, it is unfilial.

In Xiao's mother's heart, the most important thing is her Saburo. She cannot let her Saburo be wronged.
Although the son is also important, but not as much as Saburo who loves her!
As for the family, father and brother, they are enemies!

Speaking of dowry, Xiao's mother thought of Shen Qingjun, the daughter-in-law, who had a dowry piled up in fifteen warehouses of the Xiao family!

Looking at the embarrassment of not being able to come up with 5 taels, I felt even more disgusted with Shen Qingjun, my daughter-in-law.

It was all Sanlang's money. Her father Shen Pingnan broke into the imperial city, broke into the palace, and emptied Sanlang's treasury.

I’ve been robbing it for a whole year!Carts of silks, gold and silver, and treasures were transported northward by boats!
So he stared at Xiao Han and said bitterly:
"Without the Great Wei Emperor, Liang Guogong, these hateful northerners, your father, how could your father be short of money.

You also saw the silver shipped out by boat after boat and cart by cart when you came to Yujing City.

Those are all saved by your father, and you are his son, so they will all be given to you in the future.

Can't you all have a good time?He was his Great Wei Emperor in the north, and San Lang was his Great Chen Emperor in the south. We are all emperors, so why would he want San Lang to take the title of emperor, like him to be a minister!

Saburo refuses to follow, and wants to send troops to destroy Saburo's country!

Without them, how could your father come to this bitter and cold place in the north, and why would he worry about money?

My son will not be so embarrassed, the whole account is only 3 taels of silver!

Shen Qingjun, Shen Qingjun's dowry, a total of fifteen warehouses!
It's all your father's blood and sweat, it's all Saburo's money, and it's your money too!

You, you have to take them all back, you have to take them all back! "

Xiao Han didn't agree with all of his mother's words.

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in people. He understands why the emperor of Wei sent troops to fight against his father. If he becomes emperor, he will also fight against Wei to rule the world.

However, he did agree with what his mother said. The emperor of Wei and the Northerners attacked his country and robbed his property.

Shen Qingjun also openly used his money as a dowry to accompany him, how shameless!
Yes, without them, it is impossible to say that he has become the prince of Dachen. A hundred years after his father, the entire Dachen will be his own.

It's not like now, living in fear every day, fearing that one day my life experience will be exposed and I will live in the Shun'an Hou Mansion;
I have to go to court every day, kneel down and kowtow to my enemy three times and watch him domineering.

All this is because of them!

In my heart, I blamed the Emperor of Wei, Liang Guogong, and the Northerners for being dissatisfied with my mother's forced transfer of 1 taels of silver.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will make them all pay the price. They took everything from our Chen family, and my son will get everything back one by one.

The son of the Great Wei Emperor has nothing to do with him for the time being, but the Shen family, and Shen Qingjun...

Now that they are delivered to their door, my son will not let them go easily.

Don't worry, mother, her son has already planned what to do. "

The two then talked for a long time about how to get their property back from the Shen family!

An hour later, Xiao Han walked out of Ci'en Courtyard and walked towards Yuqing Courtyard where he lived.

Families with families pay attention to separation.

Even if they are husband and wife, they will not live in the same courtyard, let alone the Xiao family of aristocratic family!

So Shen Qingjun lives in Yuhui Courtyard, and Xiao Han lives in Yuqing Courtyard.

These two courtyards are the same as the Mercy Courtyard where Xiao's mother lives. They are both large courtyards with three entrances. There are not only east and west rooms, but also a study room and a kitchen.

Because for wealthy families, especially if someone in the family is an official in the court, there are particular rules about who should live where.

The east and west wings of the hostess's yard usually house their minor children. Once they reach adulthood, they will be arranged to live in separate courtyards.

The east and west wings of the host's yard usually house his close aides.

Most of the housekeepers live in the first courtyard, and the maids and women are usually housed in the second courtyard.

As for those with small families, there is not so much emphasis on it. The son lives in the east wing and the daughter lives in the west wing.

In the study, Xiao Han first called the butler and asked him to withdraw 1 taels of silver from the account.
He also called the secret guard Jiayi and gave him 3 taels of silver notes and asked him to secretly deliver them to Emperor Chen Mo.

After finishing the work, it was already dark, Xiao Han took advantage of the moonlight to go to the garden to relax, just turned a corner, and almost bumped into a woman.

Both of them were taken aback!
"Brother Xiao, it's you!"

The woman on the opposite side was busy standing up for a year, and gave a respectful blessing, but no one could hear the surprise in her words.

In the hazy moonlight, Xiao Han only felt that the woman in front of him had an elegant temperament.
The moonlight shone on her body, making her look even better, and adding a touch of immortality to her elegant temperament.

"Ms. Ruan is also out for a walk?" Xiao Han said in a gentle tone.

"Yeah, I'm a stranger in a foreign land alone. During the holidays, I always miss my relatives even more, and I don't know how they are doing well."

He sobbed in a low voice, as if aware of the surrounding environment and the person in front of him, he stopped abruptly.

This kind of behavior made Xiao Han feel more and more regretful. The same fate made him understand the sadness and sadness of the person in front of him even more.

Unconsciously, I stepped forward to support the sad person and held my hands together. A special feeling came from the touching palms.

Looking at each other, they both pulled out their hands.
