As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the room changed, and it fell silent for an instant.

"Nurse Li?" Mrs. Qu was surprised for a moment, but calmed down her impetuous mood the next moment, raised her hand and licked her temples, and said calmly, "There is more than one nanny surnamed Li in the mansion, which one are you talking about? "

"It's the one my mother married as a dowry." Fu Donglou stood up straight and looked down at Qu Shi from a height.

"The young man next to you has only been in the mansion for a few days, and I don't recognize him completely. I'm afraid he made a mistake. Madam Li has hurt her legs and feet in the past two days, and hasn't been out of the house very much. I rarely see her, so how can she run away? Go to the kitchen?" Fu Donglou opened his mouth and was about to unload Qu Shi's left and right arms, and Qu Shi naturally wouldn't sit still, "Besides, most of the slaves in this mansion are from Nanny Li, how could she do such a thing? The thing about deceiving the Lord?"

"What Ma'am is saying is that the boy next to me was bored and slapped me on Nanny Li's head?" Fu Donglou simply changed the title of "mother" and sat cross-legged on his own Yes, he asked quietly, tilting his head.

"The nanny in charge of the prime minister's mansion can't be dealt with just by your little boy's one-sided words. In my opinion, it's better to call all the people from the big kitchen to confirm each other." Qu fiddled with the water on his wrist. The emerald jade bracelet, speak slowly.

If we compare it to a game of chess, Fu Donglou and Qu Shi were playing fast chess at the beginning.But now, the style of chess has changed, and each of them is hiding their secrets. It seems that both sides feel that they have the chance to win.

Zhai Xi spent all his time observing Fu Donglou's every move, and seemed to be looking forward to the future His Royal Highness Wang Qing's next response. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable to Donglou. What slave would want to offend the head of the family for Fu Donglou? Where is the lady?If I really found someone to confront, I'm afraid that the one who is at fault is not Nanny Li.

There were two crisp sounds of "Papa", and Fu Donglou actually applauded.

"The kitchen has always been a fat job. I think Madam arranged for her own people, and asked them to confront... Hehe, Madam's plan is really good. Not only did she protect Nanny Li, she even bit me back, and it was so reasonable. With evidence, the method is really clever.”

"You are still young, so you are easy to be provoked by others. Although I don't have a deep relationship with your mother and son, I still have to plan for you. Otherwise, how can you share the worries for the prince when you enter the palace?" Qu smiled gracefully, even more so. Wei Wei lifted her chin and looked towards Fu Donglou for demonstration.

"I came here today. I didn't expect my wife to deal with Nanny Li, but I still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that it would be fine if I could get justice. After all, we are a family. It's a pity." Shui Lan's eyes There was a cold look in his eyes, but Fu Donglou said with a very relaxed smile, "Madam, let's split up."

"Break up?!" Qu Shi was shocked.

"Yes, split up." This time it was Fu Donglou who was waiting for work, he pulled Feng Yang, who had been a prop for a long time, behind him, and said to Zhai Xi, "Teacher, please be a witness."

"Let's not say that the master's absence can't help you making such nonsense, even if you want to divide the family, how can you invite outsiders to be witnesses?" Qu Shi finally realized Fu Donglou's intention.This kid made such a big fuss when he came up, not to deal with a nanny at all, but waiting here at the branch.Fu Donglou came prepared and dragged Zhai Xi along. Who knows if Prince Rui's Mansion has a foot in here, or maybe this is the meaning of the Prince's Mansion?

Qu's mind was spinning rapidly.My master is on the emperor's side, so he is very wary of Prince Rui's mansion. If the marriage was not granted by the imperial decree, his master would not be willing anyway.That is to say, Fu Donglou's status as a barbarian was too low for his master to recognize him.Looking at the meaning of Prince Rui's Mansion now, it is to take Fu Donglou out of the Prime Minister's Mansion completely?This matter makes people wonder why the prince's mansion and the prime minister's mansion got married?

Qu's will be confused about this account for a while, because there are too many questions in it.She picked up the tea cup to cover up a wink at a maid outside the door, and the maid left quickly and lightly.

"It's just an unexplainable case, and it's just for food. Why is it involved in the separation of the family?" Qu Shi felt uncomfortable when Fu Donglou's suddenly cold eyes stared at him, so he simply didn't look at it. he.

"The family was meant to be separated, sooner or later. The sooner I split up, the sooner I can learn to manage the property, and I can get started while I have a teacher to take care of me."

The Fu Donglou that Zhai Xi met on weekdays was always joking and joking. Although there was a kind of elegance and nobleness in his bones, he often did that kind of nonsensical things, and he dared to say anything without any taboos.But right now, Fu Donglou seemed to be a different person, and it seemed like he was planning to win thousands of miles. This made Zhai Xi even more curious about who is the real Fu Donglou.

Perhaps, everyone has miscalculated...

Qu frowned upon hearing this: "This family was earned by the master from scratch. It is a single family with only one room. The master never mentioned the separation of the family, so why did it come sooner or later? Which family's rule is this? "

"It's the rules of the royal family, and it's also the law of my court." Fu Donglou raised his eyebrows, "According to Madam, I have never thought about separating the family. If there is no separation, Madam plans to let me marry with you. Into the palace?"

Qu Shifang wanted to open his mouth, but Fu Donglou shook his index finger and smiled at her: "Let me guess. Could it be that you want to follow the example of the concubine's daughter from the nobleman's family and just send it away for 500 taels of gold?"

Qu Shi was about to speak out again, but was stopped by Fu Donglou again: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Marrying into the palace shouldn't be too ugly. Find a few antique clothes that I don't know if they are real or not." It's just a facade to fill the box, right?"

Because of planning for his own future, Fu Donglou purposely inquired about Da Chu's prices when chatting with Feng Yang these few days.

Similar to the previous Tang Dynasty, the main currency in Dachu was copper coins - Xingye Tongbao, and silk can also be used in daily transactions.Silver is not very common in Dachu, because the output of silver is too small.The annual silver output of the whole Dachu is only more than 1 taels. Most of these silver taels are for the use of the court, and they are rare in the market.Therefore, in Dachu, large transactions are mostly settled in gold.

500 taels of gold, buy a three-entry house in a good location in Chengdu, complete the furniture and furnishings in the house, buy servants and servants, basically there is nothing left.It is definitely a big number in an ordinary family, but it is really nothing in the home of an honored person like Duke Ding and Zhong Shuling.

Qu Shi's face turned purple from choking, she really planned it that way, even, if it wasn't for the sake of Fu Donglou marrying into the palace, she wouldn't have 500 taels.Fu Donglou only recognized him under his name, how could she be willing to spend a lot of money on a private house to marry an outsider.What's more, if Fu Donglou's dowry was too much, what would her own two daughters do?If it is less than Fu Donglou, wouldn't it be aggrieved to pay three to five and two serious daughters.If it was more than Fu Donglou, wouldn't it mean that if you married two daughters, you would have to pay half of the prime minister's house?Do the sons still want to marry their wives?

"That has nothing to do with the separation!" Qu's back cheeks were biting sour.No matter how much money is paid to send people out, there is a lot of money, but if the family is separated, the Zhuangzi shops that are separated are all real properties.The property of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not bad, the pavement in the best part of Chengdu, the large area of ​​high-quality land outside the city and in the south of the Yangtze River, the annual income is by no means a small number, how can the Qu family be cheap Fu Donglou.

"Teacher, I remember that the laws of the Great Chu clearly stipulate that a man who marries a man as his wife enjoys the same title and power as his husband. When he marries, he should receive a share of the family property that an adult man in the clan should have. The wife was detained for three years at eighty sticks." Fu Donglou turned to Zhai Xi and bowed gracefully, "I can't remember clearly at the moment, so I ask the teacher for advice."

At this time, the teacher shouted like a fool, why don't you usually see you so polite.What about your photographic memory?Whatever you pretend, let me do anything that offends others!

Zhai Xi scolded Fu Donglou all over the place in his heart, but he still said cheerfully to Qu Shi: "That's true. Not only that, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit, and all the rituals of the wedding will follow the old rules of His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing. Recently The Ministry of Industry has received the decree and is rushing to produce a batch of huanghuali furniture, which was rewarded by His Majesty Wang Qing, but the official reward has not yet been issued, and it is estimated that it will be rewarded to His Highness Wang Qing before the wedding. Ma'am, you can't count this in His Highness Wang Qing's dowry, what should be prepared should be prepared."

Zhai Xi didn't want Fu Donglou to tear himself apart with the Xiangfu, but he was invited by the Wangfu after all, and he wanted to help Fu Donglou establish a good relationship with the Wangfu.If Fu Donglou married into the palace in a disgruntled manner, the palace would be ashamed, and Fu Donglou's future life would not be easy.Thinking of Rui Wang Bojun and that cold face... Zhai Xi sighed inwardly. After all, he helped Fu Donglou.

"That's what I said." Fu Donglou snapped his fingers in a moment of pride, "The teacher taught me that His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing was born in the Gu family in Wuxi. The Gu family is not only a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has a long history of family education. The ancestors have painted Chinese paintings. Gu Kaizhi, the collection of calligraphy, painting and antiques at home is also comparable to that in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. When His Highness Wang Taiqing got married in the past, His Highness’s brother divided the Gu family’s property into two. Half of the family wealth and most of the calligraphy, painting and antiques were given to His Highness. His Royal Highness has brought all the copies of the "Pictures of Proverbs of Female History" into the palace. Teacher, am I wrong?"

When I told this kid about Wang Taiqing's background at the beginning, it was just to let him have a general understanding of Wei's father-in-law. I didn't expect this kid to remember the division of family property so clearly.Then when he inquired about him, he thought he was an elegant man, but he was mistaken again.Zhai Xi murmured to himself: This kid kept asking me about His Highness's calligraphy and painting collections, so he must have been waiting to cheat Mr. Fu for a long time.

"That's right." Zhai Xi nodded, "The only direct branches of the Wuxi Gu family are His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing and his brother Zhennan Hou Gu Yi. Although there are still women in the Gu family who are waiting to be married, Zhennan Hou will still be married. The family property was divided into two and half to His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing, speaking of which Lord Hou treated His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing with extraordinary kindness."

Fu Donglou reckoned that Qu's eyes were already darkened by his anger, but seeing that Qu's luck was not there to speak to her, Fu Donglou happily continued to play: "Madam, don't forget, Da Chu's Rui Wangqing is a man and only It can be a man, not an ordinary married woman, so don't try to send me away like a girl. When the time comes, it's not a big deal to lose the face of the prime minister's mansion, and embarrass the royal family by losing the face of the king's mansion. Can you afford it? I It's still for your sake."

After finishing speaking, Fu Donglou stopped talking to Qu Shi, but flicked his wrist and took out a jade pendant to play with.The whole body of this round jade pendant is crimson red, and the color at the center is almost black. It is a high-quality red jadeite, also known as red corundum.A galloping horse is carved on the jade pendant, with flying mane and dust under its hooves, it really seems to be alive.The jade pendant was tied on Fu Donglou's wrist by a chain made of small agate beads. Fu Donglou's white fingers slid across the red jade pendant, like white snow lining red plums, which was pleasing to the eye.

Zhai Xi met Fu Donglou every day but had never seen this jade pendant before. At this moment, he couldn't help but take a second look, and doubts arose in his heart—where did this jade pendant come from?

Although there is such a law, it is very rare for families who marry their sons to go out, and this kind of thing has never happened to rich and noble families, but the Rui Palace is special. Therefore, this law is written in a good-looking way, but not many people abide by it. , I don’t know what the emperor thought at the beginning, but he actually agreed to marry men and women, just for his own brother’s consideration.

As for imitating Wang Taiqing, Qu sneered in his heart: Let's be your daydream!

"Speaking of it, you feel wronged because the servants don't take you seriously. Although it's their fault, but not long after you entered the mansion, many servants don't know you, and they may not all have intentions." Qu After a long silence, Shi finally opened his mouth and said, "Since you have firmly insisted that Nanny Li is deceiving the Lord, I will trust you once and hand her over to you, okay?"

Up to now, Qu Shi still thinks that Fu Donglou is just making excuses. Even if Nanny Li is handed over to him, with a frail child and a servant younger than him, how dare he dare or say he can take Li? How is Mammy?

"I'll go and order the big kitchen to add a few more dishes you like every day. You really should make up for it after recovering from a serious illness." Qu Shi said, looking at Zhai Xi intentionally or unintentionally, obviously It was for the face of the palace that he was willing to make concessions to Donglou.

"Madam accepted it kindly." Fu Donglou stopped playing with the jade pendant, and put the jade pendant back into his cuffs in a leisurely manner, "But in this prime minister's mansion, if you take two breaths, you almost die, and the food in your mouth is even worse. It's hard to say. I haven't had a good meal in the past few days. If Madam doesn't want me to have trouble before the big wedding, I'd better divide the family."

"What do you mean by that!" Qu Shi looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, not to mention raising his voice, he immediately slapped the table and stood up, as if his fur had exploded.

The bastard!How dare you announce this kind of inner secret!Could it be that he really has some evidence... Qu's heart suddenly went blank, and he panicked.

"Literally, why don't we ask someone from the Sanfa Department to inspect it?" Fu Donglou stared at Qu's terrified face, his expression became colder and his tone became softer, "Although I can't find that incense burner, the smell But I remember clearly that the curtains and quilts in the room were soaked in that smell for a long time, and I specially collected a few fabrics in the room. Speaking of which, I really wonder what kind of fragrance it is." You want money Is it... or is it fatal?

"Nonsense!" Qu shouted.

"Ma'am, Master is back!" A girl suddenly appeared at the door of the house, "Rui... Lord Rui is here too!"

The author has something to say: the annual output of silver in the Tang Dynasty was about 5000 taels, and now Dachu only has half of the territory south of the Yangtze River, but there are more silver mines in the south than in the north, so a certain Ya made the annual output of Dachu The setting of around 1 taels of silver~~~~ The information may not be particularly authoritative, please let the research party let it go~
