Chapter 44 Prince Liang Di
As the evening approached, Mrs. Zheng waited for Shen Pei to come back in the house. However, they waited left and right, but they did not wait for Shen Pei to come back, but only waited for the steward beside him.

"Ma'am, the master is really busy there, and he didn't have time to come back, so he dismissed the younger one, and you just hand over the bank note to the younger one."

After entering the room, the steward saluted Mrs. Zheng with a flattering smile.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng raised her eyebrows, leaned back on the soft couch, and Mother Kang was there, she stretched out her hand, and Mother Kang immediately picked up the teacup and handed it over.

Without speaking, Zheng took a sip of tea and squinted at the steward, which made him a little nervous.

Because he is the steward next to the third master, he often runs errands for Shen Pei on weekdays, and he must come to Mrs. Zheng.

All along, Mrs. Zheng has been very polite to him, it has not been like this for a long time.

"Ma'am..." He reached out his hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and the steward smiled apologetically, wanting to urge Mrs. Zheng to take out the banknote as soon as possible.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say them, so he could only stand in the room, waiting for Mrs. Zheng to speak.

"Senior officer, you have been with the master for a long time, right?" The manager's name is Gao Zhong, and Shen Pei followed him when he was still a boy.

"If you go back to Madam, the little slave will serve you by the master's side." I don't know why Mrs. Zheng asked the question, he was speculating in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"When I married in, you were not the master's steward, let alone marrying a wife and having children to buy a house. Now, you have all these things."

"Yes, thanks to your madam, this slave is able to be where he is today. I thank you, madam." Still not understanding, he simply knelt down.

"What are you doing, get up, I have something to ask you." A servant sent out yesterday truthfully reported everything he saw.

But Mrs. Zheng still couldn't rest assured, if Shen Pei was the one who came back to pick up the bank note today, she would think of another way, but she didn't think it was Gao Zhong, so of course she had to ask him for something.

"Madam, please tell me, the servant will know everything." Without getting up, Gao Zhong still knelt, he knew very well how much Madam Zheng had benefited their family.

"Let me ask you, these days... Master is really going out to do business?" Sitting up straight, she put down her teacup and stared at Gao Zhong.

Gao Zhong couldn't help being startled, and quickly calmed down again, "If you go back to Madam, you are indeed going out, but it didn't go well, so you returned to Shangdu early."

"In the past few days, the master is so busy because of business matters, so he can't come back in person."

It is one thing to know that the Zheng family has benefited their family, but it is another thing to know his identity.

Gao Zhong reckoned that Madam must have doubts, but there was no proof, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself such a question.

That being the case, he can't mess around, he will follow what the master says, he can't betray the master, and try not to offend his wife.

"Really?" Gao Zhong said so, Zheng Shi finally felt relieved, she expected that Gao Zhong would not dare to lie to herself.

"Madam is very kind to our family, how dare the slave lie to you?" Gao Zhong also heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

"Mother Kang, give him the banknote." Commanded to Mother Kang, watched her take out the banknote, counted it and handed it to Gao Zhong.

"You are the person next to the master, and you usually persuade him more. No matter how busy the master is, you have to take care of your health." She winked at Mother Kang again, and in addition to the bank note, she also gave Gao Zhong a piece of money. Purse.

"Madam, please don't worry, I thank you Madam." After getting up, Gao Zhong saluted again, and Gao Zhong left Qingfengyuan with his purse and bank notes.

"Madam, don't you feel relieved now?" After Gao Zhong left, Mother Kang went around behind Zheng Shi, and stretched out her hand to squeeze her shoulder.

"Hey, can you rest assured? There are still many things to worry about right now! In the past two days, someone borrowed money from me again. Because of what happened last time, I am a little scared."

In addition to her own, she also took the monthly money of the servants in the mansion and other things she could control to lend money. Before, a large amount was not recovered, and the hole could not be plugged for a while, so she had no choice but to pawn the things of the big house. .

Although it was taken back later, after this incident, I feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Not to mention that because Shen Pei wanted money, he had to pawn the big house again.

It was redeemed last time, but who knows if all the years ago can be redeemed this time?

"If Madam is worried, send someone to inquire about it, and then decide whether to borrow it or not." In fact, Mother Kang did not support this matter very much.

But my wife always subsidizes her mother's family, and the money in her hand is always not enough. I don't want to find other ways to get the money. What should I do next time I use the money?

Once or twice, you can use the big house's things for emergency, but it's not a solution for a long time.

"All right." Sighing, Mrs. Zheng replied, "That's right. The master knows that I have a secret account, and I have to trouble the mother to check the people in our yard."

"Yes." Mother Kang quickly responded, thinking about the people in Qingfengyuan in her mind.

-

There have been several snowfalls in the winter month, and the weather is getting colder and colder. As the twelfth lunar month enters, the Chinese New Year is getting closer.

The Cui family's ethnology school will be on vacation around the first year of the new year, and school will start again after the fifteenth day.

Every household is preparing for the new year, even the royal family is no exception.

In the palace, the queen recruited the crown princess and the second prince concubine to help her prepare for the New Year.

Unexpectedly, along with the crown princess, there is also the crown prince Liang Di.

Last month, she gave birth to a daughter for the prince, which made the queen heave a sigh of relief. She had always hoped that the princess would give birth to the eldest son for the prince.

"Since there is Crown Prince Liang Di helping the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to allow the son to be lazy." Looking back at the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Liang Di, the Second Prince Concubine saluted the Queen.

The empress was even more dissatisfied with the arrival of Prince Liangdi, when she heard what the second concubine said, her face immediately darkened.

"Mother, please calm down. My son has been feeling unwell for the past few days. I invited the imperial physician to see him. He said that it has been almost two months. The imperial physician told me not to work too hard during the first three months of pregnancy."

"At first, I was very worried, and I couldn't share my mother's worries, but I didn't expect the Crown Prince Liangdi to come with the Crown Princess, so please ask Prince Liangdi to replace my son."

Seeing the queen's face darken, the second prince spoke again with a smile, and explained to the queen.

Hearing that she was pregnant, the anger on the queen's face immediately faded, "The imperial doctor said that people who are pregnant at the beginning of the month really can't work hard, you child, since you are pregnant, send someone to tell Ben Gong Yes, why bother yourself?"

The queen still likes the second prince and concubine, not only because she is the noble daughter of the family she chose, but more importantly, she has a good relationship with the second prince and his wife, which is what the queen most wants to see.
