Chapter 536
Recently, because of the things she wanted, the crown princess Su Xiao was feeling uncomfortable. Naturally, there was another person who was also feeling uncomfortable. This person was Su Ling'er, the maid of her natal family who married into the East Palace with Su Xiao.

Su Ling'er is to Su Xiao just like Jin'er is to Wu Meiniang, she has been with her since she was a child, and after she gets married, she is also one body, advancing and retreating together, Su Xiao's life is not easy, so is Su Ling'er.

It was already winter, and the year was about to end. On this day, Su Ling'er was ordered by the princess to take a few people to Dongshi to buy all the necessities for the New Year.

Su Ling'er has followed Su Xiao for many years, and she is also a maidservant from a powerful family. She acts naturally and safely, and does not leak water. Su Ling'er took people to buy in Dongshi early in the morning, and compared them one by one according to the list listed in advance. Gather all the things and order people to send them back to the East Palace.

Su Ling'er and Su Xiao are about the same age, and they are both young girls in their teens. They are at the age of playing and love to dress up. Su Ling'er calculates that she still has time to spare, and happens to have some spare money in her hand, so she thinks It's not easy to go out of the palace, so I ordered people to go back first, and I wandered around the shop selling jade hairpins in Dongshi, looking for some eye-catching accessories.

Although Su Linger is a maidservant, she is also a member of the martial arts Su family after all, and she married into the East Palace with Su Xiao. Not to mention, she has seen a lot of good things. Her vision is not bad, and her vision is not low. Ordinary jewelry It was really hard to catch his eyes, she had to pick and choose for a long time before she found a red hairpin in a larger shop that was very eye-catching.

This vermilion hairpin is made of silver, with a pinch pinch gold pinch holder embedded in the bottom, and a thumb-sized east bead on the top of the hairpin. This oriental bead is round, transparent, plump and plump.

Although this red hairpin is not comparable to those palace treasures worn by the Crown Princess Su Xiao in the past, it is still rare, and it is not weak to wear on her, the Crown Princess's maidservant.

"Man, what is the price of this red hairpin?" Su Ling'er pointed to this red hairpin and asked the clerk in the shop.

The man looked at it and replied: "Young lady has a good eye. This red hairpin is made of Bohai Dongzhu. Both the style and the material are of high quality, and the price is three hundred guan."

"Three hundred guan?" Su Ling'er listened to the man's words, showing a little embarrassment on her face.

Su Linger's eyesight is not bad, in fact, there are some in this shop that are better than this Zhuchai, but Su Linger only carries [-] gold in total, which is equivalent to only [-] coins, this Zhuchai Su Linger reckons At around two or three hundred strings, it was what she could buy, so she chose this Zhuchai, but Su Linger didn't expect that this Zhuchai shop would charge such a high price.

Su Ling'er looked at Zhu Chai at her hand, and liked it very much. Although she didn't have a lot of money, she couldn't bear to let it go, so she thought about it and was about to ask the waiter for another price, so she pressed down.

Su Ling'er said: "Although the quality and appearance of this vermilion hairpin are good, it must not be worth three hundred guan, I think [-] guan is about the same."

The clerk said: "The girl is a discerning person. If you only talk about the materials, two hundred guan is indeed about the same, but there is also the craftsmanship money of the craftsmen in the shop. Besides, you can't make no money. I think the girl likes it, so I will make the decision." Drop it a little bit more, how about 280, and it won't work any lower."

Su Ling'er listened to what the man said, but she still felt that it was a little expensive, but what the man said was reasonable, judging by the man's appearance, no matter how low it was, it would not be easy, so she said: "Well, I like this red hairpin very much. , but I still have some money, you take it for me first, I go back and get the silver, you don't want to sell it to others."

After Su Ling'er finished explaining, she had to leave first and go back to the East Palace to prepare another money.

But when Su Ling'er was about to turn around and go back to the palace, she suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind: "Eh? Isn't this sister Ling'er next to the Crown Princess?"

Su Ling'er lived in the East Palace for a long time and rarely went out. There should not be many people who knew her. She felt strange when she was recognized in the East City, so she turned her head and found that the person who called her was actually Chu. Jin'er, the maidservant next to the princess.

Jin'er and Ling'er are people close to Princess Chu and the Crown Princess, they often accompany them into the palace and meet each other often, so they know each other.

The Chu Palace and the East Palace have always been at odds, and the people around the Princess Chu and the Crown Princess naturally dislike each other, but Linger will not lose her manners when they are face to face, so she said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Sister Jin'er .”

Jin'er looked at Ling'er and asked, "Why is sister here?"

Ling'er replied: "I was ordered by the Crown Princess to go shopping, and I passed by here so I came to have a look."

Jin'er continued to ask: "The things in this shop are pretty good. I'm also a regular customer of this shop. Has my sister ever taken a fancy to something?"

Ling'er pointed to the red hairpin and replied, "I've fallen in love with this red hairpin, and I'm going back to the palace to get some money to buy it."

Jin'er heard the words and said with a smile: "There is still some way to go back to the East Palace. I'm afraid it will be afternoon for my sister to go back and forth, so it won't delay things. My sister and I seem to hit each other very well, so I will give it to my sister."

After Jin'er finished speaking, she asked the clerk, "What is the price of this red hairpin?"

The clerk replied truthfully: "The original price of this Zhuchai is 280 guan, but this girl has lowered the price to [-] guan."

Jin'er said: "Wrap up this red hairpin and put it on my account together with the things I picked here earlier."

"No." The buddy answered and went to work.

280 guan, which is enough for an ordinary family in Chang'an for ten or even twenty years, and it is enough to buy a good-looking maid in Dongshi.This is definitely not a small amount for an ordinary maid, that is, Ling'er can barely get it out when she is beside the princess, but Jin'er talks so lightly about the 280 pennies.

Ling'er doesn't just accept favors from others, especially people from the Chu Palace. Ling'er said: "I have written down my sister's wishes, but I don't need to do this gift. Later, I entrusted someone to pay 280 guan. The money is sent to you."

Jin Er waved her hands and smiled when she heard the words: "It's only two or three hundred guan, and it's recorded in the account of our Chu Palace, so why should my sister be polite to me?"

Ling'er hurriedly rebuffed: "If it is recorded in the account of the Wangfu, then I should not embarrass my sister. If it is checked by the palace, it will not be troublesome."

In the East Palace, it is Zhang Gu of the Prince's Household Order who is in charge of the accounts of the entry and exit of the palace, and the Shangguan Prince's Household Order in charge is old and stubborn Quan Wanji, so he is very strict about the expenses of the East Palace. Even the entry and exit of the Crown Princess is the same. Ling'er took it for granted that the Chu Palace also had a house order, and it must be the same, so she made this statement.

But Jin'er was surprised when she heard the words, and said: "Sister, you are joking, you and I are the maids in charge of the princess and the princess, in charge of all the affairs inside and outside the mansion, and the expenses of the whole mansion are not all by yourself It's up to you."

Ling'er was equally surprised when she heard Jin'er's words. Hearing Jin'er's meaning, it was obvious that Princess Chu was in charge of the entire Palace of Chu, and she said nothing, and Jin'er, as Princess Chu's trusted maid, naturally represented In charge of everything in the palace.

The family of Prince Chu's family has a big business, and the monthly entry and exit is more than ten thousand guan. As the concubine's confidant and the maid in charge, it is easy to set up a bill of three to five hundred guan, and no one will ask more questions.

And looking at the conversation between Jin'er and the waiter just now, Jin'er is indeed a regular customer here, and she is also a maid. Jin'er raises her hand with hundreds of coins. Surprised.
