Chapter 213: The Eldest Princess Sells Stocks—A Piece of Cake
On this day, fire is forbidden on this day of cold food, so the cold food feast is a cold feast.
Looking at the exquisite utensils, there are all kinds of delicate cold food, such as cold porridge, cold food cake, noodle swallow, snake plate rabbit, jujube cake, Qingtuan, red lotus root and so on......
The eldest princess really had no appetite, and under the enthusiastic push of Concubine Li, she barely used a few chopsticks, and then took a sip of tea.
It's actually cold, too.
Do you want to be so strict? I don't know that we women can't eat so many raw and cold things?
The eldest princess also drank hot two-rice porridge this morning.
'What cold food and fire forbidden? All the rules that make oneself suffer should be hell! The eldest princess, who was full of rebellious spirit, secretly complained.
But putting aside prejudice, she still admires Concubine Li.
A mason's daughter, who can be the saint and rule the six palaces, although it mainly depends on her stomach to fight for energy, but in other aspects, she also has many valuable qualities.
is like the rules in this palace, she has always taken the lead in enforcing and strictly self-discipline, saying that if the cold food does not move the fire, the entire Chuxiu Palace is not allowed to have a single Mars.
Moreover, she is also respectful to Queen Chen, who lives in a remote corner, and according to the etiquette of the concubine, she greets her every day, even if she has a big belly.
Under the example of the noble concubine, naturally no one in the harem dared to mess around, and she even managed the six palaces quite smoothly.
I heard that she also asked Feng Bao to tell her every day about the 'Commentary on the Concubines of the Past Dynasties', and she has been learning to read and write......
In short, this is a daughter of a small family who is strong and hardworking, and her heart is not bad.
The eldest princess's disgust mainly comes from her family...... Hey, that father and son are so weird.
When she thought of the bad things that happened during the handover a few days ago, the eldest princess couldn't eat it at all.
But she is here to show her goodwill today, so naturally she won't tell her daughter about Lao Tzu's situation.
He beat his spirits, took out his housekeeping skills, and started a family routine with Li Guifei with a smile.
After all, Concubine Li Guifei has a big belly, so it is not suitable to sit for a long time, and seeing that she is almost warm with the eldest princess, she enters the topic:
"When my mother entered the palace to greet her the day before yesterday, she inadvertently chatted that the handover of the imperial store didn't seem to be going well?"
"Hehe......" The eldest princess scolded in her heart, I don't look for anything to find me, but she said calmly: "This is normal, hundreds of Huangzhuang Huang stores, each of them has to be re-inventoried and handed over separately, and it is impossible to do it overnight." ”
"I heard that there are a lot of stewards and want to go with His Highness?" Li Guifei whispered. I scolded myself in my heart, and I couldn't change this problem.
Whenever the old lady told her, she always couldn't help but say it, knowing that it was not good.
"Ignore them." The eldest princess was furious in her heart, and said expressionlessly: "They have been royal servants for generations, and they are still left to go." ”
"Your Highness has misunderstood." Li Guifei shook her head lightly and said, "I mean, they can leave if they want to, the twisted melon is not sweet." Besides, His Highness also needs people on his side. ”
"Huh?" The eldest princess couldn't help but open her cherry mouth, and then quickly closed it. The heart said do you know how difficult it is to cultivate a qualified steward and a capable shopkeeper?
When it's too late for the owner to keep people, how can there be a reason to pick people up?
"Well, my father and brother want to use their own minions to run things." Li Guifei said sadly: "I'm annoyed, let them go." ”
The eldest princess was stunned, and shouted wildly in her heart, That's a business, Caifeng! It's not the same as arranging a steward eunuch.
The rules in the palace are there, as long as you are not stupid or stupid, you can basically do it.
But can any person be a shopkeeper? In a few days, the scourge of buying and selling will be smashed?
In fact, standing on her own standpoint, the eldest princess wished that those shopkeepers would follow her.
That's all treasures! Even if you don't need it, you can still use it for your children. In short, it will never be wasted!
But as soon as she came, she couldn't bear to watch the imperial store that she had worked hard to run for many years be ruined.
Second, Li Guifei is also a piece of goodwill.
In fact, people don't need to inform her at all, and they can change everyone.
Now let's talk about it, isn't it because it's all the people she pulled up?
"If you change them all rashly, it will inevitably be chaotic, so Niangniang should keep them for a few more months and bring new people." The eldest princess persuaded.
"Hey, well, just listen to Your Highness." When Concubine Li saw that she agreed, she didn't say anything more. The heart said, no matter how anxious Daddy is, it won't be bad for a few months.
Li Guifei, who felt that she had gone too far again, hurriedly moved on to the next topic:
"I heard that His Royal Highness's Xishan Coal Industry is looking for someone to buy shares?"
"That's the thing." The eldest princess nodded and said with a smile: "I was going to tell Niangniang today, but I didn't expect you to know first." ”
"It was Mrs. Fengcheng Hou who said it." Li Guifei hurriedly explained.
Because the Marquis of Fengcheng is also surnamed Li, he shamelessly connected with Concubine Li and her father. With this relationship, his wife often ran to the palace, and she was stammering with Concubine Li in every way.
"Oh, I said." The eldest princess suddenly realized that Mrs. Fengcheng Hou had indeed bought stocks.
"Hey, it's not easy to have His Highness personally sell it." Concubine Li sighed, then gritted her teeth and said, "How can I say it, I picked the peaches of His Royal Highness, how many stocks are left?" I'll buy them all! ”
Ooh! What a favor......
The eldest princess is so uncomfortable to hear!
When she entered the palace this time, she did bring a thousand shares of Xishan Coal Industry. But it's not that you can't sell it, so you come to sell it.
It's only four or five thousand shares, but it's only a matter of forty or fifty thousand taels of silver, and the eldest princess doesn't need to bother to run at all.
On that day, she set up a game casually, called the ladies who had a good time on weekdays together, and talked about things as if chatting.
In this era, women are all in charge of the accounts in the family. These ladies and wives all hold the financial power of the house, so you will divide up the shares with 300 and 500.
The most enthusiastic belonged to the old lady of Xiaoge, Ji, who bought 800 shares alone.
Then the Duchess of Dingguo, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Chengguo, and the Marquis of Fengcheng each had five hundred shares; Mrs. Zhang Juzheng and others each had two or three hundred shares, and four thousand shares were subscribed out.
The remaining 1,000 shares are also what she is going to keep and give to the queen and Concubine Li.
Otherwise, it's a matter of one sentence.
How did she get to Concubine Li Guifei and become a favor from her to the palace?
I'm not in your favor, okay?
The eldest princess really wanted to leave with her arms, but then she remembered Gan'er's instructions - for the future of Xishan Coal Industry, she must have a good relationship with Concubine Li. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble!
"Isn't it? There are still 500 shares left unsold, but I'm so worried. Sighing secretly in her heart, the eldest princess nodded with a smile: "Niangniang has really helped the palace a lot......"
"It's all a family, and if you say this, you'll see the outside." When Concubine Li heard that it cost five thousand taels, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh. But he still pretended to be generous, and asked people to take five thousand taels of silver and send them back to the eldest princess's mansion.
The so-called big pond has water and the small pond is full, the big pond has no water and the small pond is dry, the emperor has no money in hand, and Li Guifei is not rich.
The eldest princess knew that being able to take out five thousand taels was already Li Caifeng's limit......
Thinking of this, her anger disappeared a lot.
Hey, everyone is trying hard to make friends, but it's just awkward, so what's the point?
According to Gan'er, everyone has different views, and they are destined to not be friends, and it is useless to work hard......
