Li Qing's headache was even worse. Her dowry was all valuable but useless antiques and jadeware, and her head and face jewelry had no gold or silver, and even a brick or a tiles. The princess, you can't sell her dowry, right? It seems that she can't move to Shilizhuang this year. Mu Tong looked at Li Qing and continued:

"In Shilizhuang, according to the instructions of his wife, all the water and earth dragons are made. Not to mention the use of firewood and charcoal, but the firewood and charcoal will cost more than twice as much. I have also asked the people in the firewood and charcoal house. The charcoal in this winter is also the big part of our annual fee. The winter in Han land is long, and the fire will not stop from October until early May of the following year. If you live in Shilizhuang, you will have to fight a famine for 6,000 taels of silver this year."

Li Qing lowered her head. The water and dilong were a little extravagant, but she still wanted to pay for the money by herself. The prince could give her six thousand taels a year, which was already very generous. He was afraid that he could use less than six thousand taels a year! She only had two pharmacies that could make some money. In fact, a restaurant was not open. Whether she could make money was still a big deal. In this way, her annual income is no longer much higher than when she was in the capital, but her expenses were more than ten times more. No wonder Uncle Qing was so anxious that he didn't even have time to deal with the matter of Houdeju, so he had to go to Jinchuan Mansion and Longping Mansion to open a shop. Now, she should also worry about it. She can't give everything to Lian Qing. At least the cost is tighter, and the money should be sent to Lian Qing first.

"The project in Shilizhuang is stopped first. I will send this money to Uncle Qing, so his place is even less affordable."

Mu Tong immediately responded with a smile.

Li Qing returned to Peach Blossom Land in a nausea. After only half a bowl of porridge for lunch, she put it down. Before she could, she was already lying on the kang in the east wing and fell asleep. Last night, she was exhausted.

In the afternoon, in the study outside the palace, the prince was wearing a light gray cooked robe, sitting upright behind the red sandalwood table, carefully reviewing the thick stack of reports on the table. Ding Si grinded an inkstone ink next to him, changed a cup of tea to deliver it. The prince looked at the note in his hand, frowned, closed it, put it aside, picked up the tea, took a few sips and ordered:

"Call the third master to see me."

The third master entered the house and gave a gift. The prince raised his hand and signaled him to sit down and talk. Ding Si brought the tea. The prince handed over the note next to him.

"Look at this, Qian Wenjie is not suitable to be the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture, so he is exiled to Anyuan County."

The third master opened the memorial and reported from Pingyang Mansion that the Qingke and prostitutes whom Mu Tong sent him the day before yesterday were sentenced to exile. The third master raised his head and hesitated for a moment.

"Master, this is a bit heavy, but..."

The prince raised his hand to stop the third master's words.

"It's not for this, it's a matter of being kind to live in a good life. Mu Tong used to go to the Pingyang Prefecture Office, but now he's the same rule. Pingyang Prefecture is mostly rich and powerful. As the prefect, people should be smart and have some tough nerves. He has all the cleverness and less backbone."

The third master pursed his lips and did not dare to say a word.

In the West Courtyard of the Wangfu, Jade was reporting to Aunt Wen:

"...I am now in Houdeju, working as a hard laborer for cleaning the floor. Aunt Chen took the car to see it, and she almost cried and she was overwhelmed."

Aunt Wen looked pale and snatched the veil in her hand.

"Where is the old man? Don't the old man know about this?"

Jade lowered her head and replied in a low voice:

"The old man took his eldest grandma, second grandma and second grandma to the Zhuangzi to apologize today."

Aunt Wen's face turned blue, she bit her lip, and after a while he ordered:

"You go to Wenfu now, find Aunt Chen, and quietly take Miss Wanru."

Jade agreed to go out.

When Mr. Wen brought his big grandmother, the second master and his wife to the village, it was almost not right. Madam Zheng took it in respectfully and enthusiastically and arranged it to be in Banyuanju. The maid and maid went in and out like flowing water. After serving the group of four people to wash up, she had dinner again. Madam Zheng smiled and went forward and replied:

"Old Master, the lady is asleep now. Logically speaking, the old master is here, and I dare not not wake her up. But this morning, I specially instructed her that the lady is feeling uncomfortable these days, so I asked her to serve her carefully. I dare not take the initiative. Please tell her."

Old Master Wen said with a smile:

"Mrs. I am weak and I feel uncomfortable these two days. Sleeping well in the afternoon is the way to maintain my health. Never wake her up."

Mama Zheng bent her knees with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically:

"Old Master, the second master and two grandmas can't get a trip to the village. Now the lotus flowers in Houhu Lake are blooming just in time. Otherwise, I will wait for the old master to have a cup of tea in the waterfront by Houhu Lake to appreciate the lotus flowers."

Old Master Wen laughed and said with a chrysanthemum pattern on his face, saying:

"Okay, okay, the lotus in Houhu is the first in our Han area! Today, the old man is lucky!"

Mama Zheng laughed and said with a funny smile:

"Old Master, I have some good fortune! Yesterday, butler Sun just sent a pound of green peony. Butler Sun said that there are only two or three pounds in total. If I let you take a pound, please let the old master taste it first!"

Old Master Wen's eyes were filled with a crack, and he even claimed that he was good. Madam Zheng led the four of them to sit in the back lake and water pavilion.

Li Qing slept until Shen Zheng woke up. Liuli took the little girl to wait for her to get up and wash up. She changed into a slightly taller golden peony patterned cloud brocade shirt, a smoke cloud butterfly skirt, and reported with a smile:

"Madam, Old Master Wen, with his eldest grandma, and his second wife, arrived in the village before the moment. Because his wife was asleep, Madam Zheng took someone to wait for them to have dinner. At this moment, she was drinking tea and enjoying lotus flowers in the water pavilion in Houhu. Can't the lady see them?"

Li Qing woke up and felt much more comfortable. After hearing Liuli's words, he smiled and ordered:

"Since they are visiting the door, they are just guests, so there is no reason to see each other. Besides, they are elders after all, so I'll go to the water pavilion to see them."

Liuli quickly responded, with bamboo branches and Songluo served Li Qing all the way to the back lake pavilion.

Madam Zheng saw Li Qing coming from afar and hurriedly greeted Mr. Wen with a smile:

"Old Master, look, it seems like a wife, I'm here to see you."

Old Master Wen stood up, and the eldest grandma and the second grandma hurried out of the water pavilion and welcomed him from afar. Li Qing smiled and received half a gift, and entered the water pavilion with the two. Li Qing gave Mr. Wen half a gift, and then sat down on the chair where Mr. Wen was taken down. Liuli brought tea. Li Qing turned around and smiled to greet the big and second grandma standing behind him.

"Please sit down!"

The big grandma looked at Old Master Wen, knelt in front of Li Qing with a trembling slight shaking, and kowtowed:

"Madam, it's all a lowly concubine, it makes her angry."

Li Qing was stunned, hurriedly stood up, leaned over and pulled her up, then pulled her to sit on the round stool next to him, and said with a smile:

"Grandma, don't do this. What does this have to do with you? If the old man is willing to listen to your advice on weekdays, why is this?"

The big grandma looked at Li Qing in a daze, tears suddenly flowed out, she covered her face with a veil, and she couldn't cry. Li Qing stroked her back, feeling sad. The big grandma was also a scholar from the school. Her father is still a priest of the Imperial College. She is a great lady who knows the book. Before she got married, she was the treasure of her parents' hands, but she married Uncle Wen, a pig-like playboy. I don't know how she survived these years!

Old Master Wen held the tea and lowered his head to drink it seriously. Second Master sat on the stool with his body sideways, looking at his nose and his heart, not daring to say a word. Second Grandma lowered her eyes and stood carefully behind Li Qing. She was scared by the night in the ancestral hall and didn't dare to let out even when she saw Li Qing. The big grandma cried for a while before sobbing and barely stopped her tears.

"Madam, concubine, a lowly concubine, rude..."

Li Qing patted her back gently and comforted her with a smile:

"Grandma, don't be so polite. You and I will be fine. For a while, Bigma... will be fine if she cries and won't get sick. Let the girls wait for you to wash your face."

Liuli had already sent the little girl to bring hot water, took a handkerchief and waited for washing things. Li Qing looked at Liuli, and Liuli immediately stepped forward, bent her knees and gave a blessing, and said with a smile:

"I'll wait for the big grandma to wash her face."

The big grandma stood up and refused:

"I dare not bother Miss Liuli."

Li Qing smiled and pulled her down. Liuli came forward diligently to help the big grandma raise her clothes and waited for her to wash her face.

Li Qing no longer mentioned Mr. Wen. He just smiled and introduced the lotus flowers in the lake and the interesting things in the farm. He accompanied the Wen family and the four of them for a while. A little girl came in from outside and quietly pulled Madam Zheng to report. Madam Zheng listened with a smile, walked to Li Qing's side, lowered her voice and reported:

"Madam, let me send a message. Today, Shen Zheng went to Zhuangzi and asked his wife to wait for him to have dinner together."

Li Qing frowned, and Old Master Wen hurriedly stood up to say goodbye.

"It's too late this day, and I'll rush back to the city, so I won't bother my wife."

Li Qing stood up with a smile, left a few words, and then ordered Madam Zheng:

"The old man is a tea lover. He brought half a pound of green peony sent by Butler Sun yesterday to the old man."

Madam Zheng smiled and responded, and told the little girl to go and get the tea. The old man's eyes smiled into a crack and refused:

"Madam, please keep it for yourself. This tea is too expensive."

Li Qing smiled and walked forward, holding Mr. Wen's arm, and walked towards the front yard with a smile:

"It is because of its preciousness that it is easy to use it to respect the old man. The old man is not afraid of ordinary things."

Old Master Wen laughed loudly, and the group talked and walked, and soon arrived at the second gate. Second Master stepped forward to wait for the old master to get into the car. Li Qing walked to the big grandma, with a smile on his eyes and whispered:

"My grandma wants to be more open about the matter of the uncle. I will not let him leave Houdeju for a while. Playboys like him must suffer a lot. Only when he knows that he is afraid can he be better. He doesn't expect him to become a pillar of the country, but at least he dare not do anything wrong! If he can be honest, his grandma will have a better life in the future. In the past, he will be at home and raise his children at home and raise his body. If he is bored, he will go back to Zhang's house to stay for ten days and half a month. On the one hand, he will relax and be filial to his parents. If he has anything to do, he will send someone to me, or go to Houdeju to find Manager Tang to bring a message."

The big grandma bent her knees and gave a blessing with gratitude, and tears fell down again. She looked at Li Qing, her lips moved, but she swallowed it back. (To be continued.
