Main Characters: Yu Yuanzheng, Shangguan Ziqi
Yu Yuanzheng transmigrated into the original host on her wedding night. Upon arriving, she was immediately forced to listen to her cousin and hus...
"Oh? You bought it so quickly?" Yu Zheng asked admiringly.
"What Madam has told me is of top priority, and I am always thinking about it. Once the Ministry of Justice has closed the case, the servants who have not committed any crime will be released, and Jingzhao Yin will take over the registration. I will be the first to intercept it."
"Haha, you've made good use of your ability to get there first. But have you asked them if they are willing?" Yu Yu Zheng didn't want to teach disobedient disciples.
"I never asked." Shangguan Ziqi was stunned. He just bought all those who were literate and between the ages of fifteen and ten.
"It's okay, let's go. I'll take a look first." Yu Yu Zheng didn't care. It was not easy to find a woman who could read.
The mansion awarded to her by the emperor was not far from the palace, and could be reached in two quarters of an hour by carriage.
When they arrived at the gate of a big house, Yu Yuzheng was helped out of the carriage by Shangguan Ziqi.
Looking up, I saw the towering gate of the mansion.
The stone lions on both sides stand majestically with sharp eyes.
Hey, there are two plaques on the lintel.
"Zhenguo Houfu, Zhenguo Zhufu!" Yu Yuzheng read it out softly, "Husband, is this the plaque you asked someone to hang?"
"No, the Emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hang it."
"Oh, you said that the emperor is so good to me, is there any purpose?" Yu Yuzheng suddenly thought of this question.
She was given a big house before, and she gave it to her parents' home.
The emperor had no problem with her doing this, and he gave her a bigger house than the previous one, which made her feel a little embarrassed to accept it.
This kind of house is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it cannot be bought even if you have money.
"I guess the emperor is trying to please you." Shangguan Ziqi whispered.
"What do you mean?" Yu Zheng didn't understand. What did the emperor want? Did he need to please her?
"How many people in my Great Wei can match your medical skills?
If the emperor wants to live a long life, doesn't he need a doctor like you to protect him?
But you are the concubine of my Prince Rong's Mansion, not the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, so he can order you around as he pleases.
If he wants to boss you around, he has to please you, and he doesn't have to pay for the consultation.
With your consultation fee of ten thousand taels each time, even the emperor wouldn't dare to invite you too often.
So if he invites you to the palace to see him in the future, you won't be able to refuse.
Of course, he is the monarch, so you cannot push him away. But our emperor is a wise ruler and he will not let you suffer any loss, so he is very generous to you.
This house was where the previous eldest lady lived. After she passed away, it was taken back by the Imperial Household Department. The emperor has kept it all along and was reluctant to give it away. Now he gives it to you, which shows that he is really good to you."
"Oh, I see."
"The late emperor was only forty-nine when he died. And the emperor is forty-eight this year."
"No wonder. But I think the emperor looks very healthy now, and doesn't look like someone who will die young." Yu Yuzheng said directly.
"Speak softly. You can't speak like that to the emperor." Shangguan Ziqi was helpless. His wife lacked the sense of hierarchy in her bones, which was really a headache.
At the same time, I envy the era in which my wife lived.
It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of environment could produce such an extraordinary woman.
Shangguan Ziqi led Yu Yuzheng into the Zhenguohou Mansion.
As you enter the mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is a large screen wall with a pattern of surging waves on it, which is majestic and magnificent.
Going around the screen wall, you can see a large courtyard with green trees on both sides.
"We meet Prince Rong, the guardian of the country." An old man who was obviously a eunuch hurriedly trotted forward to greet him.
"This is Qi Xixi, who is in charge of the house," Shangguan Ziqi introduced.
The property of the Imperial Household Department is the emperor's property.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs would arrange someone to look after it, and Yu Yuzheng knew this.
"Qi Xixi, no need to be polite. Just show us around this house." Yu Yuzheng said with a smile.
"Please follow us, both of you."
Qi Xixi looked to be around sixty years old, but he was in good spirits and walked steadily. His back was a little bent, probably because he had the habit of serving nobles and bending over backwards for a long time.
The couple visited the entire mansion under the guidance of Qi Xiaoxiao.
The buildings in the palace are well-arranged, with pavilions and towers with flying eaves and pointed corners, as well as winding corridors and courtyards.
Every design reveals the craftsman’s ingenuity and ultimate pursuit of beauty.
The main hall is spacious and bright, with sturdy beams and pillars, and carved beams and painted buildings, showing its luxury. It is a place to receive guests and hold important family events.
The inner house is more private and quiet, with carved doors and windows, and light gauze curtains, revealing a gentle and delicate atmosphere of life.
It can be seen that the people in the Imperial Household Department managed this house very well.
This is a big house that you can move into right away.
She felt unreal. If such a property were in modern times, it would probably be worth 100 million.
Yu Zheng was deeply impressed by how much money he had made.
This mansion already belongs to her, and it was given to her as private property, which means that after she passes away, her descendants can inherit it.
No, I won't hang two plaques.
If it is just the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo, it will be taken back in the future, but if it is the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo, its nature will be completely different.
After seeing the mansion, Yu Zheng was extremely satisfied.
"Take some time to bring your son over to have a look. This house will be his from now on." Yu Yuzheng had far-reaching thoughts.
The eldest son inherits the title of the youngest son, and the youngest son inherits her title of marquis.
Perfect.
After shopping, the two came to the main hall and sat down.
"Qi Xixi, go and get busy." Yu Yuzheng sent him away.
Qi Xixi retreated tactfully.
"My dear, when we were touring just now, we saw servants busying around. Are they also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"Yes, they are all old people who are no longer needed in the palace. Some old maids and old eunuchs who don't want to leave the palace. They have nowhere to go after leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So they are all arranged in the various industries in the hands of the emperor.
This house is given to you, and these servants are also given to you."
"So you want me to take care of them in their old age?"
"almost."
"The emperor is really good at spending money." Yu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If you take over this house, you have to support those elderly people.
"Such a big house needs people to clean, serve and manage it. It's not a bad idea to use them." Shangguan Ziqi thought it was no big deal.
"You're right. We have to take care of them anyway, so we might as well give them something to do. There are so many plants and trees, and someone has to take care of them. I think they're doing a pretty good job. Even though the house has no owner, they've taken good care of it." Yu Zheng admitted.
"Okay, call all the people you bought over here, let me take a look." Yu Yu Zheng said again.
Shangguan Ziqi asked Yuanshan to bring the person over.
Not long after, a dozen or so girls walked into the hall.
"Greetings, Master." The girls saluted in unison.
Yuanshan had already told them that they were here to see their real master.
They were all bought in batches by the four Qingfeng people of Shangguan Ziqi's faction, and had never seen Shangguan Ziqi.
"Please introduce yourselves to each other. Where are you from and what do you do?" Yu Zheng said.
The girls were pushing each other, without any discipline at all.
They pushed each other.
Shangguan Ziqi frowned as he watched.
"What, don't you want to live anymore? The people in front of you are the son of Prince Rong and the Lord of the Nation, so don't be unruly. Stand in two rows, starting with the first person in the first row."
Qingfeng was so angry that he shouted loudly when he saw that these women were so unpresentable.
When the girls heard that their master was actually the daughter of Prince Rong and the governor of the country, they were so frightened that they dared not act recklessly anymore.
Stand up straight immediately.
"You, start answering your master's questions." Qingfeng pointed at a girl in the first row.
The girl trembled for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.
He took a step forward and squatted.
"My name is Huang Yue'e. My father was implicated by the prince, and my whole family was arrested. The men were sentenced to exile, and the women were demoted to slavery."
Huang Yue'e was crying as she spoke, and she looked up at Shangguan Ziqi from time to time.
The look of Li Yu made every man want to hug her in his arms and feel sorry for her.
Yu Yuzheng glanced at Shangguan Ziqi teasingly, but the other party had a blank expression on his face.
