Chapter 134 Ninth Concubine Dong E 12



"this......"

"If you really want to do business with me, I have plenty of money-making ideas. But you've already made so much money, why are you still thinking about making more? Do you want to be the richest man in the Qing Dynasty?"

"The richest man? I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to support my big brother. This money is not enough no matter how much it is."

Mu Sili suddenly stopped and Yinzhen looked at her in confusion. What happened? Wasn’t she fine just now?

"What happened to Fujin?"

"I can't understand what my dear brother did to deserve your help. If I remember correctly, my dear brother's mother, noble lady Liang, was not favored."

"Lady Liang is a pitiful person. My brother did this just to improve her life and make her live a better life.

As for why Grandpa helped so much, it was naturally because he and the starling grew up together.

And most importantly, Bage is kind, respectful to his superiors and tolerant to his subordinates. Haven't you seen how many people inside and outside the palace secretly support him?"

"Master, what you said is really interesting. I think my tenth brother is the one who grew up with me, so why don't you help me like this?

I remember the first time we met was at the Wanbao Pavilion. At that time, Tenth Brother seemed to be short of money and asked me for support. But Eighth Brother said that Tenth Brother used the money to visit brothels.

"How did Fu Jin know?"

Yinzhen looked at Mu Sili curiously. This happened in a private room. How did his wife know about it?

"Of course it was the princess who told me. As for who said it, you should have guessed it without me telling you, right?"

"It's the tenth brother."

"Master, I know you like doing business, but among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants come last. Do you think that if Big Brother really comes to power, he will give you a high position?

Besides, Eighth Sister-in-law has always looked down on me and the Princess because she is a Beile's wife. She wants me to use money to support her, which I am not happy with."

Yinzhen also remembered Guo Luoluo's previous annoying behavior, and he was a little unhappy, but he supported the eighth brother, and it had nothing to do with the eighth sister-in-law.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. I need to go meet the maids and servants in this mansion. If you don't want to go, I will go by myself."

"I'll accompany you."

I don’t know what happened. Just now, after Mu Sili said that, Yinzhen didn’t want to support Yinsi anymore.

As Mu Sili said, among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were the lowest class and could not even take part in the imperial examinations.

If he really pushed the starling to that position, he would also get a high position, but his descendants would never inherit his position.

The best thing would be to demote him to a lower title, but it is hard to say whether his initial title will be a prince or a duke, and it is possible that he will even be a beile.

Forget it, let's just wait and see. I've already done a lot by helping my dear. It would be bad if I help someone who is ungrateful.

In the main courtyard, Mu Sili and Yin'er sat in the first seats and looked at the concubines and servants standing below. She blinked. These beauties were so beautiful, with all kinds of body shapes and sizes.

"My Lord is so lucky. All the sisters in the backyard are beautiful and charming. Fortunately, I am not bad looking either, otherwise I would feel ashamed in front of them."

"What are you talking about, Fu Jin? They are no match for you. In my heart, Fu Jin is the most charming, no one can compare to her."

"You always say nice things to please me, but seeing that the clothes and jewelry of my sisters are all worn out, why don't you do anything about it?

Yanzhi, I will give three hundred taels of silver to each of the people in the backyard and buy them two sets of clothes. I will pay for the money. Is that okay with you, sir?"

"No, the wife has full authority over all matters in the mansion. Tomorrow the master will go to the Ministry of Revenue. Jiang Baifu, follow him."

Yin'er's departure did not cause any reaction from the people present. To them, Fu Jin's words just now were more important.

"Fujin, is what you just said true? Three hundred taels is not a small amount."

"Of course it's true. You are my concubines and members of the Ninth Prince's family. As long as you behave yourself, I will not treat you unfairly.

Besides, if I don’t use the money I earn to support my family and take care of my parents, what should I use it for?

Fortunately, the master has no other woman outside, otherwise I would have suspected that he was hiding a mistress."

"We thank Madam for the reward."

"You're welcome, housekeeper. Arrange for someone to buy two sets of warm winter clothes for each servant in the mansion. It's still cold now, so don't let anyone get cold.

Also, buy two sets of summer clothes so you can change into them when the weather gets hot. Our master has money, so we'll pay for it from the public treasury."

"Yes, I understand."

"Your servant thanks Madam Jin."

I thought that Mu Sili summoned everyone in the mansion this time to use both kindness and force on them, but I didn't expect that she was actually giving them benefits.

It’s true that I’ve followed my master for so many years, but I’ve never enjoyed such treatment. It’s not that my master is stingy, but he just doesn’t think about it at all.

Although he was the housekeeper, he could not embezzle the money in the mansion without permission. The lady-in-waiting gave him such a huge benefit as soon as she entered the mansion. They had to do their job well in the future, otherwise they would be sorry for the lady-in-waiting's kindness.

After explaining everything, Mu Sili returned to the inner room to rest. She got up early today and it was time to take a rest.

Three days later, Yinzhen prepared to accompany Mu Sili back to her parents' home. Before leaving, the two were still preparing the return gifts.

"Fujin, put these on too. I think my father-in-law might like them."

"good."

"Put this one on too, and this one, and this one too. My mother-in-law will definitely like it. Forget it, I won't be picky, just put them all on."

"Master, this is too much! My sisters-in-law didn't prepare so many things when they came back to visit us!"

"I have plenty of money, so naturally I want you to return home in style and let your parents-in-law know that you are living well here with me."

Yinzhen remembered Zhu Liang's words that if Mu Sili was wronged, he would cause trouble for him. Although he didn't think he would be in trouble, what if? He couldn't beat Zhu Liang!

At the Dong E Mansion, Dong E Seventy was preparing to go out with his sons to welcome his daughter and son-in-law.

"I wonder how Li'er has been doing these past few days. I heard that the Ninth Prince's residence has purchased a lot of ready-made clothes. It's rare for such a stingy person to be so generous!"

"Father, be careful if someone hears what you say. It will embarrass my sister."

"That's right. Father is such a grown-up, yet he still makes people worry about him. Oh!"

"Okay, here they come."

"Greetings to the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Lady."

"Father-in-law and all my brothers-in-law, please stand up quickly. I am here today as the son-in-law of the Dong'e Mansion. There is no need to be so polite."

"I understand. Please come in."

The family finally put their worries aside after seeing the happy smile on Mu Sili's face.

A month later, Mu Sili became pregnant. Yinzhen was very happy. He had no children yet, so he attached great importance to the child in Mu Sili's belly.
