Princess Zhan woke up quickly because she knew everything.
Marriage between aristocratic families, whether it is betrothal gifts or dowry, is very generous. After the marriage, the focus is on family harmony, which is achieved by the man's ability and the strength of the woman's mother's family.
Zhuang Yuan was once the prime minister's daughter. If the war king at that time had married Zhuang Yuan, life would have been easier.
It's just that Zhuang Yuan's life was not good, and she became lonely after enjoying the prosperity. Now all the clan members have died or been injured, and only Zhuang Yuan can barely survive. Now she can't help the King of War, but all the food and drinks need to be paid by the King of War.
The King of War pities her for her glory in the past, but once she was defeated, her love for her was no longer the same. These days, the King of War was so exhausted that he could only come to see Princess Zhan.
Princess Zhan sat down side by side with him.
"The prince brought the prescription from Sang Wan. He has been busy with the plague recently, why did he come back when he had time.
I thought that the prince was forgetting to eat and sleep, so he had no time during this period! "
The King of War wanted to grab Princess Zhan's hands, but Princess Zhan wanted to pull her hands away in disgust. Due to the King of War's too much strength, the matter failed.
War King's face looked a little ugly.
"Yue'er, my husband thought that this disaster relief work wouldn't cost much money.
However, what Sang Wan said is right. The yield of Ganoderma lucidum herb was originally small. Now that it has become a medicine introduction, the price has increased a hundred times and it is difficult to find the medicine. I have spent all my monthly silver and the money on my account on this. things.
I am a minister, so I cannot ask the emperor for compensation for my merits. Now I am still short of some money to fill the vacancy.
See if you can get some money out! "
After hearing this "understanding", Princess Zhan's expression suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty, you want me to use the money from the accountant's office to make up for this shortfall?"
The King of War hesitated to speak. Naturally, what he wanted was not the money for the account. After all, the palace still needed food and clothing. He could not bear to wrong his son or his mother, so he could only wrong Princess Zhan.
"This...if the accounting office is inconvenient..."
Princess Zhan began to wipe her tears before King Zhan finished speaking.
"Your Majesty, you know why I and Han'er are so quarrelsome today just because of a mere thousand taels.
He didn't know whose girl he fell in love with, but the lion was indeed open to talk. A noble girl from an aristocratic family might not have such a temperament.
This is just one of the reasons. If the palace's accounts are rich, I will not ruin the relationship between mother and son because of a mere thousand taels, and make Han'er hate me. It's really because I can't get out this money! "
"how come?"
The King of War was not a very good husband, but over the years, Yueyin would take most of it back to the family.
Princess Zhan comes from an aristocratic family and doesn't care much about silver. She usually uses as much as she sends back.
He went on expeditions every year and received many rewards. He originally thought that all the money should be kept in the palace, but when he needed the money, he heard that Princess Zhan couldn't even get out a thousand taels.
"Yue'er, this king is doing something serious, don't be petty.
How could there be no money in the house? Where has the money that I have sent back over the years gone?
Besides, if there is a deficit in the books, your private treasury in the yard will also have a dowry. Being a husband does not mean to use your dowry, but at this time, you have to learn to take the overall situation into consideration.
I trust you as the head of the family, and I don’t want you to act recklessly. "
The tone of the War King's voice was quite a bit like calling an army to punish someone.
Princess Zhan shed even more tears because she wanted to attack an old lady for money and her life.
She took out the account book from beside the pillow and handed it to the King of War.
"Your Majesty, the first book contains the expenses and accounts of the mansion, and the second book contains the records of my private treasury.
When I got married and married into a royal palace, the dowry prepared by my father was no worse than that of my sister. I thought that I would be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of my life.
However, after raising Han'er, she was given the best food and clothing since she was a child. Her mother-in-law was weak and rarely came out to take charge of the overall situation. She needed to take supplements with precious medicinal materials every day. In addition, the prince had the prince's card, so before My mother-in-law used her own dowry as supplement, and now it’s me.
In the huge Zhan Prince's Mansion, all food and clothing expenses are money. One thousand taels is enough for other people to live for several years, but it is just money that Haner uses to coax girls.
Does the prince still think how much money the prince’s palace has in this war?
When I got the key to the accounting room from my concubine, I could hardly make ends meet every month. Originally, I was not good at managing accounts, so if there was anything missing, I would use my own money to fill it in. Unexpectedly, I slowly spent all my money on it.
There are still expenses in the house, and now I only have a few thousand taels in my hands. Now the prince has spent a lot of money on things in the palace. This money is just in case, and he can't take it anymore! "
The King of War just flipped through two pages, and his face became increasingly ugly.
If Sun Quan's account book is really good, even a smart person like King Zhan can't tell the difference. Instead, he is afraid that Princess Zhan will cause trouble because of her grievances.
“This matter is all due to my poor thinking.
However, for my meritorious service, the reward from the palace will be sent out soon, and Yue'er will not need to worry at that time.
Otherwise, Yue'er, please put your jewelry first..."
"jewelry?"
Princess Zhan sneered in her heart, but she was still aggrieved on the outside.
"Isn't it possible that I can't think of things that the prince can think of?
Except for the two sets of jewelry on the table that were left behind by my mother and my concubine, the rest have long been replaced with fake ones. The jewelry has been pawned a long time ago, and the receipts are all in the cabinet.
A few days ago, I was still thinking that if Haner fell in love with a girl, I might not even be able to get decent jewelry.
Now the prince has no choice but to ask the old lady if she has any spare money. She owns many shops and her daily expenses for food and clothing come from the palace's money, so..."
The war king was very embarrassed, but he could only sigh.
"This king has wronged you!"
He gave a false comfort, and walked out without even wanting to exchange greetings.
Princess Zhan touched the account book with a proud smile on her face.
In the end, the old lady of Prince Zhan's Mansion cursed Princess Zhan for a long time before giving out several thousand taels of silver to Prince War. Now that Prince Zhan's Mansion is at its peak, the old lady has given away all the money to outsiders since she doesn't care about the affairs in the mansion. After all, she But the King of War is not the only son.
After Princess Zhan heard about these disgraced things, she smiled from ear to ear.
…
In Ji Sangwan's mansion, Princess Zhan and Ji Sangwan were eating very expensive cherries and drinking this year's new tea leaves, squandering a tael of tea and a tael of gold.
Princess Zhan felt very unhappy.
"The old lady has been in a very bad mood these past few days. In order to pretend to be poor, there has been nothing good in the palace for a few days.
Liang Han also spent a lot of money pursuing Ji Yunrou, which was all returned by Liang Zi. I have always known about this matter, and it is really tiring to pretend not to know. "
