    Daqi Dynasty, Beijing, Xuanhe Marquis Mansion

    Inside Wenxi Hall

    "Old lady, I really have no choice but to beg you. The public treasury in our house is really empty. In the past six months, I have been able to survive by selling my dowry.

    But now my dowry has been"

    As soon as Qiao Mu woke up, she saw a woman sitting on her lower left hand talking sadly about the difficulties at home. While speaking, she would look up from time to time to look at her face.

    ¡°It¡¯s already here?

    You will bring all the ledgers over later. Don't worry. I just want to see how much you posted. I didn't say that the housekeeper's daughter-in-law has to post her dowry. After I verify it, I will try my best to give you the money for your dowry.  Fill.

    I see that you have been worrying about this matter a lot these days, and you look a bit older than before. Let¡¯s take a break for a while, and wait until I finish reading the account books to see if there are any ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We will talk about it then, otherwise this is  A bottomless pit.

    You go get the account book first, tidy it up a little and then bring it over. I¡¯ll take a rest for a while. I¡¯ll be refreshed enough to read the account book and think about the future.  "

    At this time, Qiao Mu urgently needed to guide the original person's memory and understand the original person's wishes, so he planned to send back this woman who was not sure who her daughter-in-law was, but should theoretically be the eldest daughter-in-law.

    "Yes, old lady, I'll go right away."

    Mrs. Xiao's face was filled with joy, she was happy that the housekeeper's mess in the house could finally be put away. After answering, she resigned and left. She planned to go back and quickly pack up the account books in recent years and bring them over.

    Taking charge of household chores sounds like a good job, and it is what the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law should do, but it also depends on whether the family has money or not. If the family has money, it is naturally easier to take charge of household chores. After all, the back house  Basically, everything can be done well if you have money, but if you don't have money, the four words "people are poor and have short ambitions" are applicable everywhere, even if it is applied to the country, noble people like them marry wives and have children.  , daily chewing, and even outings, no need to spend money on anything.  These are not bad enough. If there is a big difference in any of them, then I don¡¯t know how others will laugh at me for being poor. Just like some small stars, even if I have no money, I still have to buy a brand-name suit or rent it.  You have to find a way to rent it, it's just superficial.

    The same goes for these nobles.

    No matter how poor your family is, you still have to maintain the superficial glory, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

    ????????????????????????????? To pretend to be fat, that¡¯s probably the case.

    After Qiao Mu¡¯s daughter-in-law left her place, she quickly gave instructions to the maids who were waiting on her, saying that she was going to lie down on her side to rest for a while. While she was resting, she also sent the two maids who were serving her out.

    It¡¯s better to accept the memory so as not to be disturbed.

    Half an hour later, Qiao Mu finally sorted out the original body¡¯s sixty years of memories.

    Originally from the Wu family in northern Hebei, she was a daughter of a long-established family. Although she was not as good as the top aristocratic families like Wu Xingqiwang, she was still considered one of the best in northern Hebei, because the previous marquis of the Xuanhe Marquis Mansion was also  When the original father-in-law went out to fight, he saved the eldest son of the direct line of the Wu family in northern Hebei. The Wu family was grateful, and the Xuanhe Hou Mansion did ask for something, so they gave her, the direct daughter of the aristocratic family,  Marry a noble military officer.

    Although the original person was a little disappointed that he did not marry a certain talented man or the top scholar, due to his upbringing since childhood, he had no room for objection, so he naturally married him honestly. However, after marrying in, he learned about the family of their military general.  confusion.

    The family was extravagant in daily life, and it was common for them to visit brothels and spend money like water. However, because these generals robbed many things when they followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world, they even robbed the palace of the previous dynasty and divided a lot of it.  , so although it was extravagant, she could still live on. After she gave birth to a son and a daughter, she no longer cared about how many concubines her husband had.

    But it was precisely because of this that the root of the disaster was laid.

    Of course, the cause of this disaster is not that the concubines are restless, or that they want to harm the original body and the children of the original body. In fact, the concubines are very peaceful, but the key is whether the husband of the original body is a warrior or a warrior.  He was a warrior who had not been injured very much and was in good health. Those concubines were not given the sterilizing medicine by the original person. As a result, they worked hard to have children. As a result, ten years later, the original person already had two legitimate children, a son and a daughter.  There are thirty-six concubines and concubines, among whom there are sixteen concubines and the remaining twenty are all concubines.

    Note that these thirty or so children are just the children of the original husband. The original husband is not an only son. He also has a full brother and two full sisters, as well as six concubine brothers and nine concubine sisters. The sister is also  NoneIt is said that all of them are married, but because their parents live together, all the concubine brothers of the original husband lived in the Hou Mansion more than 20 years ago.

    At that time, the original children's generation, both male and female, totaled more than a hundred. In the end, the courtyard of the Hou Mansion was not enough to live in, and only a few people could live in one room.  The house, sleeping in bunks and bunks, and eating were like a war, in short it was very chaotic.

    It was only after the parents-in-law died and the family was separated that the house became more spacious. However, the living space was only compared to the past when there were hundreds of owners, and compared to those families with few heirs.  Still very crowded.

    When the family was first separated, the Hou Mansion still had some money.

    But don't forget, the original body still has twenty concubines and one legitimate daughter to marry, and then sixteen concubines to marry. These concubines and concubines are still about the same age, and they almost all have to be together within five years.  If it is completed within the year, the amount of gold and silver required for the twenty-one dowry and seventeen betrothal gifts alone is an extremely terrifying figure, not to mention how much the lavish ceremony will cost.

    ¡°When I saw so many things and had to pay so much money, I felt so regretful that my intestines turned green and I wished I could strangle a few of them to death on the spot.

    It was only then that the original person understood why the heads of many noble families in the capital gave medicine to their concubines. If they really didn't give medicine and let them have children, their wealth would not be able to make up for it.  The dowry hole.

    Of course, if the original person had remembered to keep all the groom¡¯s betrothal gift when marrying his daughter, then although he would still have to pay a large sum of money, it would not drain his family fortune.

    But I want to save face.

    Those who love their daughters in the capital usually bring back the dowry and betrothal gifts to their daughters. In order not to embarrass their own daughters, it is naturally impossible for them to keep the betrothal gifts sent by their son-in-law.  Of course it is not easy to keep a concubine, otherwise she will have a bad reputation outside.

    So, all I can do is pretend to be fat.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After the original man had arranged the marriages of all his children, the prince's house was almost emptied, and afterwards it was still possible for the original to sustain itself for another ten years, by selling the dowry, and by reducing expenditures.

    But four years ago, the original person couldn¡¯t hold on any longer, and the dowry was basically empty, so he had no choice but to give the mess to his eldest daughter-in-law, who was also his eldest daughter-in-law.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
