Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 417: The Xie Family's Property

After Qiao Ruoyi returned to Xie's Mansion, she went to Nihong's room first. Xiao Nishang went back to Qiao's Mansion today to play with Nihong for a day, and took a rest early.

Qiao Ruoyi closed the door and went back to her room.

After entering the room, Xie Yun was holding a chess piece and was about to put it on the chessboard, "You're back? The Minister of the Ministry of Officials went to Chunfeng Street, is it plausible?"

Qiao Ruoyi said: "Why can't I go to the place where officials often go? You ask the accountant to prepare 400,000 taels of silver tomorrow, and I will buy Taohualou."

After Qiao Ruoyi finished speaking in a calm tone, she looked at Xie Yun, but she couldn't see a hint of annoyance on Xie Yun's face, "You said before you got married that I can use your money, and I won't use your mere 400,000 yuan." Two silvers, are you angry?"

Xie Yun shook his head and said, "Don't be angry."

"Oh." Qiao Ruoyi said calmly, "I wonder if you can collect all the money tomorrow?"

Xie Yun said: "You don't need to collect all the money. The Peach Blossom House is originally the property of the Xie Mansion. Such a large amount of money doesn't have to go through the government, and you have to pay a large amount of taxes. It's just for you."

Qiao Ruoyi was shocked and said: "Peach Blossom House is also the property of your Xie family? How much property does your Xie family own?"

Xie Yun said: "It's not your Xie family, but our family. Since you are the mistress of the Xie family, come with me and show you how much the Xie family's property is..."

Qiao Ruoyi followed Xie Yun into his study, and saw piles of ledgers, all of which were organized according to state capitals. Among them, the ledgers in Chang'an, Luoyang, Lin'an, Yangzhou, and Huizhou were much more than those in other places.

Especially in Chang'an, all the books of profitable shops are here, which means that these are actually the property of the Xie family.

Qiao Ruoyi asked Xie Yun, "How much money does the Xie family have?"

Xie Yun said slowly: "I haven't counted it carefully. The Xie family still has a bank. As long as the bank doesn't fail, no matter how you spend the money, you can't spend it all. Your majesty's private house and silver are all in the bank of the Xie family. Presumably he wouldn't watch the Xie family's bank collapse..."

Qiao Ruoyi closed the account book, and said, "You know this, but you still see my jokes everywhere in the past three days."

Xie Yun said: "I don't want to see your jokes, but I don't let you try it. How can you be willing? You are pregnant, so you should rest earlier."

Qiao Ruoyi went back to the room, and after taking a bath, the smell of rouge faded away. While lying on the bed, she couldn't help thinking that she was really ridiculous, that Xie Yun was so rich that she even wanted to use up Xie Yun's silver. ...

The next day, Qiao Ruoyi stopped arguing about ways to spend money, but it was not on her whim to want Taohualou. She was thinking about changing Taohualou into a place similar to Jiaofang.

The women inside don't have to sell their bodies to live, and they can live freely.

Five days later, Qiao Ruoyi and Xie Yun returned to the court. Everyone in the official department knew that Qiao Ruoyi was pregnant, and they didn't let her work. This made Qiao Ruoyi feel extremely inappropriate.

When Qiao Ruoyi returned to Xie's mansion, she thought hard about the memorial.

After all, there is one difference between men and women, that is, women have ten months of pregnancy.

Even if it is a servant girl in the mansion, as long as she is pregnant, the master will not let her work anymore. This is the case with some women, but if Shi Yue rests, how can she not be able to accommodate herself in her original position?

After thinking about it, Qiao Ruoyi submitted a regulation on women taking a bath if they are pregnant.

This set of rules and regulations can be regarded as making up for the inconvenience for female officials, and it can also make civil servants of female workers follow suit.

For a while, Qiao Shilang's name was spread far and wide. When the imperial examinations are held next year, women will account for one-tenth of the list submitted by the various state governments. Compared with the past, this is quite a lot.

In November, a bitter new wind howled, and it became extremely cold overnight.

This year's Chang'an is colder than previous years, and both charcoal and firewood are expensive for a while.

Qiao Ruoyi also started to take a vacation to concentrate on raising her baby, only to hear that Yan Yu and Lan Xin often talked about people freezing to death in the streets outside, and many literati wrote poems to mock the officials.

The governor of Chang'an was so frightened that he wished he could take out his house and let people on the road sleep there.

Chang'an has a hospital for the sick, where orphans, widows, old and young can go there, and they won't be frozen to death there.

But there are some hawkers who want to earn more money in the morning and grab good stalls, and sleep secretly in the alleys at night, and they will not look for them when they are patrolling.

His Majesty was furious when the matter of people freezing to death came out.

Xie Yun then suggested that the household department intervene in the price of charcoal and firewood, and that the small vendors on the street should also be diagnosed and treated in different categories, so that the small vendors would not be allowed to sleep secretly on the street at night in order to seize the territory.

Xie Yun's two proposals were quite appreciated by His Majesty, and Xie Yun was also transferred from the Minister of Rites to the Ministry of Households to be the Minister of the Household Department. They are both servants, but the Minister of the Household Department is better than Xie Yun's original servant who specializes in dealing with foreign businessmen. There are many real powers.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites can earn money but has no power, but the servant of the Ministry of Finance has real power, and more importantly, the Minister of the Ministry of Hu will retire and return to his hometown after the New Year.

The position of servant is only temporary.

Since Xie Yun had a suggestion, these matters were put on Xie Yun's head. Xie Yun has been busy these days, but when it comes to giving her medicine every half a month, the bowl of blood always here.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's atmosphere in Chang'an became lively.

Xie Yun wasn't busy either, he said to Qiao Ruoyi: "There are more than 20 days of rest in the year and year, you can go back to Lin'an, and go to worship the ancestors with the neon clothes."

Qiao Ruoyi said: "I will not leave Chang'an during the Chinese New Year."

Xie Yun looked at her puzzled, "After you and I get married, we have to go back to the Xie family's old house. The marriage was rushed and we never paid homage to our ancestors."

Qiao Ruoyi said: "Go back by yourself."

Xie Yun said: "Forget it, let's talk about it next year. After all, you are still pregnant, so it's not appropriate to go back and forth."

Years ago, the Minister of the Household Department wrote a letter to tell his old age to return to his hometown. Xie Yun naturally became the Minister of the Household Department. Many people came to visit during the New Year's Eve.

On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the New Year's Eve, many bureaucrats in Chang'an came to Xie's mansion with their families to congratulate them.

It's just that no one greeted their family members.

Xie Yun asked Lan Xin, "Where is she?"

Since they got married, Xie Yun asked Lan Xin the most, probably about her, Qiao Ruoyi would never say it to him every time she went out.

Lan Xin whispered: "Madam, Madam went to the grave of Qiao's ancestors early in the morning."

"Go again?"

Xie Yun pursed her lips. It has only been more than three months since they got married, and Qiao Ruoyi has already gone to Luo Wei's grave three times. Is she so reluctant to let him go?

On his happy day today, did she still go to Luo Wei's grave?
