No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?
Chapter 63 Repaying the debt
Return to the prince's mansion.
The Fourth Master walked ahead with big strides, and Su Peisheng bent over and tried his best to catch up with him in small steps.
"Master, whose yard are we going to today?" he asked diligently.
The Fourth Master glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go to the main courtyard!"
I was very angry at the Ministry of Revenue just now, and I didn't come back home for romance. I came to see my wife for something!
Su Peisheng didn't know the reason, and thought, could it be because the concubine is pregnant that the master is so worried?
So that's how it is. It seems that the legitimate wife is the legitimate wife, and when she becomes pregnant, the concubine usually has to stand aside.
He was startled and thought that he should maintain a good relationship with Liu Dezhu from the main courtyard.
After all, the birth and growth of this young master will depend on Liu Dezhu.
The two of them had different thoughts and hurried to the main courtyard at great speed.
The wife was lying comfortably on the chaise longue, and Aunt Gui was begging her to eat something.
"Fujin, now that your morning sickness is over, you should eat more fish. Fish makes your child smart," said Aunt Gui, her face full of wrinkles as she smiled.
But Fu Jin didn't want to eat it: "There is fish every day, I don't really want to eat it."
It's almost three months now, and her morning sickness has subsided a lot, but the fish still has a fishy smell, which makes her uncomfortable to eat.
Aunt Gui explained carefully: "This bowl of fish is not ordinary fish."
"I took a Taishan red-scaled fish the size of a chopstick. The fresh meat on the fish's face was tender and not fishy at all."
"You can only get two pieces from one fish, so this small bowl is enough..."
Before Nanny Gui could finish her words, the Fourth Master walked in with a sullen look on his face and asked, "How much did it take?"
Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment, knelt down and dared not say anything more.
But the Fourth Master couldn't let go of this topic so easily, and said sternly: "Speak!"
"More than thirty fish were used," Aunt Gui replied tremblingly.
In fact, this question is not difficult, and it also shows her careful service to Fu Jin.
But looking at the Fourth Master's expression, she always felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after hearing her answer, the fourth master's face darkened: "Oh, so many fish, how much silver will it cost?"
"Yes, one thousand taels..." Nanny Gui had no choice but to answer stiffly.
Taishan red-scaled fish is a tribute fish, so of course it is not cheap, costing thirty taels per piece.
The kitchen just bought a thousand and two taels of silver worth of fish today, and all the essence is put into this bowl.
Fu Jin's expression turned pale as well, and she replied, "My Lord, you are angry somewhere, and you want to vent your anger on me, so I came here."
"It's only a thousand taels worth of fish, can't you afford it?"
Is it expensive?
Of course it is expensive.
But Fu Jin can afford to eat it, and besides, everything is for the children.
"Of course I can afford it," the Fourth Master snorted coldly, "but do you know what you can do with a thousand taels of silver out there?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this, but once he did, he became even more upset.
"Of course I know!" She said sarcastically, "One thousand taels of silver can buy ten women like Lin!"
Ah.
Your favorite thing was bought by my mother for one hundred taels of silver.
It’s a pity that I didn’t listen to my mother. I should have kept their indentures.
Otherwise, the Lin family would not have been able to climb so fast.
The Fourth Master really didn't know about this. He thought that Cha Cha and Zhang were found by Nara from among her followers.
I didn't expect it was bought.
Its heart is awkward!
"Since the Lady is rich and the Nara family is rich, then send a message back and ask the Nara family to pay back the 100,000 taels of silver they owe to the national treasury!" The Fourth Master sneered.
He slapped the IOUs in his sleeve in front of Fu Jin, there were three of them.
Her father borrowed 50,000 taels, her eldest brother borrowed 20,000 taels, and her third brother borrowed 30,000 taels.
Fu Jin exclaimed: "What...what is this?"
The Fourth Master looked at her coldly and found it funny.
Originally, because Fei Yanggu was Lord Taishan, he was prepared to help Nara pay the money.
But since Fujin spent one thousand taels of silver on a meal of fish, it proved that Nara still had the money.
Then... pay it back yourself.
"I have brought the IOU. I want to see Nara to exchange it for money before noon tomorrow!" The Fourth Master's voice was cold.
All the silver in the national treasury was turned into IOUs, which could not be used to buy food and fodder.
Then we can only ask everyone to return the money.
He didn't borrow any money himself, but he had to set an example, so he had to start with his father-in-law's family.
Fu Jin was so angry that her hands were shaking while holding the IOU. She said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll send someone back right away!"
Fei Yanggu and her brothers all went to war, leaving her mother the only one in charge of the family.
"Madam Gui, please go and ask mother to pay the money back tomorrow morning!" Fu Jin didn't think the family was short of this little money, so she gave the order directly.
Aunt Gui had no choice but to stay in front of the Fourth Master, so she took the IOU and ran out.
The wife then said, her nose not nose, her eyes not eyes: "Master, are you satisfied now?"
Fourth Master: Hey, now it’s my fault.
He didn't even bother to say anything more to Fu Jin, and just turned around and walked out, as if he had come to the main courtyard just to collect a debt.
Su Peisheng followed behind him, sweat dripping from his face: "Master, are you still going back to the palace today?"
I have been staying in the palace for half a month, and I have been busy until three o'clock in the morning every day. I am so tired.
The Fourth Master had to go to the Ministry of Revenue during the day to eat cabbage and radishes, and he lost a lot of weight.
He touched the ring on his hand and said disdainfully, "The palace gates are all locked. How can we get back?"
I came back today originally intending to discuss with Fu Jin about helping Nara repay her loan.
As a result, he got angry before he even had a chance to say anything. He would never live in the main courtyard and be bullied by the concubine.
Su Peisheng asked again: "Where are you going..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the Fourth Master heading towards Linfengju.
Well, there is no need to ask this.
The sun has set, and in Linfengju, Lin Mingyan is eating hot pot.
But what she had was the Old Beijing hotpot with mutton broth, but with some chili added to the dipping sauce.
There is a time-traveling girl with a system, and now she doesn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
When eating hotpot, I only dare to eat copper furnace lamb hotpot.
On the table were two large plates of thinly sliced beef and mutton, as well as vegetables such as radish slices and cabbage.
It is so comfortable to eat such a warm pot in the cold February.
As soon as the Fourth Master came in, he smelled the aroma of mutton soup. Behind the misty steam was a beautiful woman with red lips from eating.
He took a look at the dishes on the table as if he had a professional disease, and estimated that the whole table was no more than twenty taels, which made him feel much better.
It’s not that he was stingy and didn’t allow his wives and concubines to eat and drink, but it was really annoying to see others squandering money when the treasury was empty.
Cha Cha is still the best!
Thinking of this, he sat down and pinched Lin Mingyan's face with a smile: "Cha Cha, do you miss me?"
Lin Mingyan never thought that the Fourth Master would come back today, and she thought she was hallucinating.
Daidai pinched his face back.
The warm touch brought her back to her senses, her eyes gleaming with surprise. She rushed over, hugged his neck and said, "Master, you're back?!"
