The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

The concubine thought for a while and said, "You just said that the property of the palace has decreased a bit. What's the matter?"

Grandma Wang said: "There are at least two hundred servants in the family. There are quite a few errands everywhere, especially those aunts. They compare each other, and no one wants to be short of a piece of clothing or a piece of jewelry. We Although it cannot be said that the palace cannot make ends meet, as far as I look at it every year, the income is getting less and less, but the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. The prince is a loose spender, all relying on his ancestral property. How about living on salary?"

The concubine said: "Li Liang has been managing the accounts these past few years, but I didn't find out. Tell me, should I ask Li Liang?"

Grandma Wang said: "This... Mr. Li always takes orders for the prince alone. We call him casually, I'm afraid it's... not very good. You see," she said: "It's the end of the year again, so you can say , this year you also look at the account, I'm afraid Manager Li is too embarrassed to stop you. You have to have a count of these things, don't you?"

The concubine sighed a long time: "Over the years, I have not had the energy to take care of these things. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought that the mansion had everything you need."

Grandma Wang said: "A few years ago, you were sad because of the eldest son's affairs, and you didn't pay attention to everything, but now that the eldest son has returned safely, and you have the third son again, it's better to take care of this matter, and you must not let it go." This made the third son feel wronged."

The princess nodded: "You are right, that's what it should be."

Here, the concubine and grandma Wang are discussing about the New Year, and the prince is also talking to Li Liang.

Li Liang said: "This year, Zhuangzi's harvest has decreased again. Some shops in the shop are making money, and some are losing money."

The prince said: "Just tell me, how much can you collect this year?"

Li Liang said, "It's less than ten thousand silver."

The prince slapped the table angrily: "There are only so few, so let's not let people celebrate the New Year!"

Li Liang said: "Every year at the end of the year, we always have to give out some rewards, and we have to prepare New Year's gifts for each family. Our palace has not prepared New Year's wine for many years. If we don't do it now, it will make people laugh. In addition, we will be doing spring festivals soon." Clothes, this is also a big expense. The monthly money for this month has not been paid yet..."

The prince said: "Could it be that our family can't even send out monthly money?"

Li Liang said: "That's not the case, but this year, the monthly money in the house alone is more than [-]. Now this little money really won't last until next year."

The prince said: "Then what should we do? How many acres of land should we sell?"

Li Liang said: "Selling the land can only solve the problem for a while. If all the land is sold, our income next year will be even less."

The prince is also worried: "Otherwise, what should I do?"

Li Liang said: "This matter has to be discussed with the eldest son."

The prince couldn't help laughing: "As a father, I still have to ask my son for money, this is really..."

Li Liang said: "The eldest young lady is an expert at making money. The Dingbei Palace is now very rich. If you don't look for them, who should you look for?"

The prince also sighed: "Oh, I still can't open my mouth."

Li Liang said: "Why don't I go there and see the attitude of the young lady."

The prince didn't say anything after hearing this, Li Liang understood, and said: "Then I'll go over today." After saying that, he withdrew.

The prince didn't say anything, took the book by himself, and pretended to read it for a while, he also murmured in his heart: This is really a good daughter-in-law, but it's also really embarrassing.

Li Liang came all the way to Dingbei Prince's Mansion, and when he reached the door, the concierge came forward with a nod and bowed his head: "Director Li, you are here. I will take you in right now."

Li Liang said, "Is your princess at home?"

The concierge said: "I'm at home. The princess has been busy with the business of the winery these days. She has been busy for several days. She just made arrangements for the winery yesterday. Today she is preparing for the Chinese New Year."

Li Liang said, "I heard that the wine shop is very profitable."

The concierge said: "How do we know if we will make money or not, but I heard people say that during the Chinese New Year this year, everyone in the palace will be rewarded with a red seal of two taels of silver. I heard that the accountant took several people to exchange the silver. There are hundreds of people, so many two taels of silver ingots, it has to be specially made to order, right?"

Li Liang also didn't speak, and followed the concierge to the flower hall.

When Xia Yuwei heard that Li Liang was coming, she quickly changed her clothes and came to the flower hall.

When Li Liang saw Xia Yuwei, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Young Mistress."

Xia Yuwei said with a smile on her face: "Director Li, please don't be too polite. You have a cup of tea first." Saying that, she glanced at Zi Mo.

Zi Mo personally brought a cup of tea and brought it to Li Liang.

Li Liang took the teacup and opened it to see that it was the best Yuluo tea.

Li Liang took a sip and said: "This tea is clear and bright, sweet and fragrant, with a long aftertaste. No matter it is color, shape, or taste, it is the best."

Xia Yuwei said: "This is the tea I made myself. Because the eldest son likes to drink it, I made a lot of it. If you like it, I will pack some for you and take it home to drink."

Li Liang stood up and said, "Then I would like to thank the young mistress."

Only then did Xia Yuwei ask: "Are you here at this time, are you busy?"

Li Liang said: "To tell you the truth, I do have something to do. This year the Palace..." He was very embarrassed and said: "It was only at the end of the year that we received less than [-] silver. We..."

Xia Yuwei understood it as soon as she heard it, and said: "This year's weather is changeable, and the income of Zhuangzi is indeed much less. The property of the palace is mostly fields, and I am afraid it will suffer losses."

Li Liang said: "The income of the shop this year is also mediocre."

Xia Yuwei glanced at Zi Mo and said, "Go to my room and get the 2 taels of silver notes from my locker."

Zi Mo went immediately.

Li Liang couldn't help but look at her more.

After a while, Zi Mo brought a paper envelope.

Xia Yuwei handed the paper envelope to Li Liang and said, "Here is [-] silver, you take it first, it will be Chinese New Year."

Li Liang took it over and said, "Then I won't be polite." As he spoke, he took it over and put it in his arms.

Xia Yuwei asked Zi Mo to get another half catty of tea, Li Liang also took it, and then left.

Li Liang hurried back to Prince Ning's mansion.He handed the bank note to the prince, and showed him the tea. The prince is also an expert in drinking tea. After reading it, he said: "Xinghe, you have such a good tea, but you don't use it to honor me. It's really abominable."

Li Liang also laughed: "Now I'm on the wrong side." Talking about Zi Mo again: "Wangfei's maid looks like a shrewd and capable girl, she has a good eye, she's not bad."

The prince looked at him and said, "It's rare for you to praise a girl, why? Want to take her in?"

Li Liang also made no secret of it: "I really want to, but I'm afraid that the young lady will not let it go."

The prince also smiled: "You have to go to Xinghe for this matter, and ask him to help you get it back."

Li Liang said: "Then thank you, my lord."

The prince said again: "I don't care if you want to come or not."

Li Liang said, "Thank you for that."

The prince put away the banknote and said happily: "Come on, this year is over."

The concubine heard that this year's income was less than 1 taels, and her expression changed.

Grandma Wang said on the side: "Don't worry about it, you have to take care of the third son."

The princess let out a long sigh: "The palace is so full of flowers and flowers, how could I have imagined that it would be like this."

Grandma Wang said, "There will always be a way."

The princess is also unimaginable.

Here, Gao Mingzhu said to Caiyun and Caixia: "It's been another year. You have been guarding this yard for several years. When I came back, the second son said that he would only come back once in a few years. Now it is Gu It’s not going to be with you, it’s not good to let you stay empty all the time, so I specifically asked me to prepare a dowry for the two of you, and just marry a good family.”

Caiyun and Caixia looked at each other and said, "But let the second son decide."

Gao Mingzhu said: "After the new year, I will let you out, 20 taels of silver per person, you can find someone to marry yourself."

Caiyun and Caixia thanked each other and withdrew.

Gao Mingzhu collected Zhao Yanting's savings for the past few years, the total was only 3000 taels.She was also troubled in her heart.I don't know what to do.
