Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 24: Tiji and Guarjia Prefecture

The 32nd year of Kangxi was spent in this atmosphere. The treacherous situation in the harem did not affect the liveliness of Ulanala Mansion. On New Year's Eve of that year, Concubine Jiang Liu Youyou and Fei Yanggu, Fu Jin, and Rou Ze gathered in the main hall, spent the New Year's Eve, and ate the New Year's Eve dinner. Logically, they should go their separate ways. Liu Youyou followed Concubine Jiang back to the small courtyard. Fei Yanggu would stay in Fu Jin's courtyard.

But after the servants cleaned up the leftovers, Fei Yanggu asked Liu Youyou to stay: "Yi Xiu, stay for a while, everyone go back and rest!"

Liu Youyou looked at this cheap father whom she only saw once a year. Fei Yanggu took a sip of tea to clean his mouth, brewed the atmosphere, and said: "Yixiu, you have grown up so fast! In a few months, you will get married!"

Fei Yanggu seemed to want to express his feelings, but as someone who had never appeared in the courtyard, Liu Youyou felt that these words were terribly hypocritical. But she still had to cooperate on the surface, and she quickly got into the atmosphere, her eyes slightly red, and she wiped them with a handkerchief, and said: "My daughter will not be able to be with you and fulfill your filial piety in the future, so you must take good care of yourself. Your knees ache in winter, so I embroidered a pair of knee pads, hoping that you will be healthy!"

Fei Yanggu was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw Yixiu caring about him so sincerely, he also felt a belated fatherly love. He said reluctantly: "The Fourth Prince has not yet opened a residence. When you marry in, you will not only have to face the Fourth Prince's concubines, but also deal with the ladies in the palace. Fortunately, our family has been in contact with your biological mother-in-law, Concubine De, for many years. If you have anything, go to Yongshou Palace."

He took out several wooden boxes and a list that he had prepared long ago, and introduced them, "Inside these are the silver bills, gold, and shops for you to use for your own survival. Go back and count them slowly. If it's not enough, send a message to me through the people on this list."

Liu Youyou accepted it without hesitation, but she still said in a filial tone: "Father loves me so much, I really have no way to repay you."

Fei Yanggu comforted her: "Why should we be like this between father and daughter? It's getting late, Yixiu should go and rest too!"

Yixiu put away the wooden box and the list, said goodbye to Fei Yanggu, and returned to the courtyard. She counted the things in the wooden box by herself. There were five silver notes with a face value of ten thousand taels, twenty notes with a face value of one thousand taels, and less gold, about one thousand taels. After all, these were Fei Yanggu's personal belongings to her. In order to make it easier to carry, it was impossible for him to give her many heavy things.

After checking the contracts, I found two prosperous shops in the city center, selling gouache fabrics, which were not eye-catching but profitable. There were also several food shops in less attractive locations, but they were still quite profitable. Finally, there were farms developed on the outskirts of the city, which would be very convenient for fruit and vegetable farming in the future.

Liu Youyou collected it with satisfaction, and planned not to tell anyone the exact amount in the box, this way she would have a source for the amount of money rewarded by the system, and when she ran out of money, she would use the money in her own space to make up for it.

The final list includes all the connections that Ulanala has developed in the harem over the years. Although they are not in important positions, it is better than being blind.

When the trees in the capital had green leaves and new buds sprouted, it was time for Liu Youyou to get married. Because she was a concubine, she could only wear a vermilion wedding dress (lighter than red). As for the dowry, it was normally 108 pieces, and if the father loved his daughter, it would be increased to 128 pieces. The Ulanara Mansion naturally had this foundation, but since she was not a legitimate concubine, it could only be increased to 120 pieces. However, in order to show the importance of Yixiu, each dowry was made larger, weighing down the people carrying the dowry.

Seeing this, Liu Youyou couldn't help but admire Fu Jin's methods. If you want to get something, you must give it first. Fu Jin has always done a good job in these face-saving areas. She doesn't need to use stingy methods to disgust you. She usually looks compassionate, but when she really takes action, she is as fast as lightning, and she won't give you a chance to react or resist.

So, perhaps Fujin is the most suitable person for the deep palace. Rouze and Yixiu each have their own flaws. Rouze is not cruel enough, and always leaves room for the enemy to breathe; Yixiu is cruel enough, but she can never find the focus, and can't distinguish the core of the contradiction. Her pattern cannot support the entire country, and her calculations are also within the small territory of the harem. She does not understand the principle of affecting the whole body by a single move, and finally ends up being "abandoned without being abandoned."

Perhaps Kangxi also felt that giving two concubines to his fourth son at once would indeed cause unrest, so based on their family backgrounds, he allowed the two concubines to enter the palace three days apart, with Yixiu entering first and the Guaerjia princess entering later.

However, it would be better not to do this. Liu Youyou didn't even want to think about how embarrassed that Guarjia princess would be. After all, when she showed off her makeup a few days ago, the gossipy concubines had already talked about it. Although this Guarjia princess had the support of the Guarjia clan, she was not a direct descendant, and her father's official position was not high enough. Although the clan subsidized her for the sake of the Fourth Prince, and the prince and princess also gave her rewards, it was just superficial work and could not compare to the dowry prepared by Ulanara with all the strength of her clan.

----------------Guarjia Prefecture---------------------

Guaerjia Xuantong cried bitterly in her mother's arms, and her mother could only hold her daughter in pain, while her father paced back and forth beside her. His daughter had been spoiled since she was a child, and she had never thought of marrying into a wealthy family, but things never go as planned, and when it came time for the selection, who would have thought that the main branch had passed on the message that the prince would give her grace.

Her father was disappointed. His family didn't need such a favor. Whoever wanted it could take it. But the crown prince was still a king! Since he was a king, all the thunder and rain were his grace. How could his family disagree? He only hated that he was of low status and power and couldn't give his daughter a decent life. He even had to enter the palace three days later than her!

A half-grown boy came in a hurry, panting heavily, holding the door frame, and asked with red eyes: "My son heard that the emperor asked my sister to enter the palace three days later! They are too much! My son wants..."

The head of the family interrupted his son's rebellious words: "What are you going to do! What do you want to do! Do you want to drag our family to death?"

Hearing the quarrel between her father and her brother, Guaerjia Xuantong stopped crying. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and persuaded them: "My daughter is just upset for a moment! If it causes unrest in the family, I might as well chop off my head and become a nun!"

Seeing his sister say this, the young man lost his temper. He suppressed his anger and comforted his sister: "Don't worry, sister, I will work hard in the former dynasty and will not let you be bullied in the Fourth Prince's mansion!"

Seeing his children getting along harmoniously, Ama turned from sadness to joy: "With children like you in our family, there is no need to worry about not being able to support the family. With children like you, I can also face our ancestors! Emin, Xuantong, you must remember the oath we made today as brothers and sisters!"

Guaerjia Emin and Guaerjia Xuantong answered in unison. Guaerjia Emin even secretly swore that he must climb to a high position to protect his sister!
