Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 24; Establishing Prestige

"The cloth in our house is of the highest quality, and the ones outside are relatively rare."

"Usually the price should be around two or three horses."

"And those first-grade goods are more expensive, costing at least five guan per horse."

"You want two hundred horses at a time. I'm afraid our family won't be able to get it. Even if we can get it, Her Royal Highness the Princess won't give it to you."

Huo Junyao was speechless when she heard what she said.

Darling, asking for hundreds of thousands for just one mouthful is indeed a bit excessive.

Although the Duke's mansion is very wealthy and can afford four hundred guan, she can't just give it to her if she wants it. After all, she has a brother above her.

Logically speaking, her brother will inherit all the family wealth in the future.

Although her second brother is a nice person, she has only known him for a short time. Although they are related by blood, it is very inappropriate to ask for hundreds of words for one mouthful.

"What if we go out and buy ordinary white cloth?"

"If that's the case, it's quite cheap. An ordinary piece of white cloth costs about 150 yuan. If the quantity is large, it should be less."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao immediately made a calculation in her heart.

In this way, it is much less, and you can get it with twenty or thirty dollars.

"Do we have money?"

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess has prepared fifty strings for the young lady to bring over."

"Sure, then go and tell Aunt Xi and ask her to arrange for someone to go out and buy two hundred pieces of ordinary white cloth."

Xiaochan opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

The young lady has given such orders. As a servant, she really can't say anything.

She could only turn around to find Grandma Xi, but she was very confused in her heart, what did the young lady want with so much white cloth?
Can this thing be used to make clothes, and it doesn't match her status.

After Xiaochan left, Huo Junyao walked towards the main hall, thinking about how to build a greenhouse.

Although she had never built one herself in her previous life, she had seen a lot of them, and she also knew a bit about the principles of greenhouses, so there shouldn't be much of a problem if she wanted to use a more primitive one.

After thinking about it, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Hongxiu who was following behind her.

"By the way, Hong Xiu, do you know the price of vegetables in winter?"

It cost a lot of money to build a greenhouse, and she also calculated that if all the land in the yard was successfully built, there should be no shortage of vegetables.

She couldn't eat so much by herself. Remembering what Hongxiu said just now, vegetables are very rare in winter, so she thought she could get some and sell them.

"It's very expensive. I don't know the specific slave, but I heard it's at least twenty or thirty times the normal price."

"Twenty or thirty times?"

Huo Junyao's eyes widened, this must be too scary.

"Yes, because our capital city is located in the north, winter comes early and is long, and there are many rich and powerful people here. There is no shortage of rich people. There are no vegetables to eat in winter. On weekdays, there are only a few nobles who have warm soup at home. Only then can young people be born.”

"My family doesn't have enough to eat, so I definitely won't sell it, and what is usually sold is shipped from the south."

"It's a long journey, and there will be a lot of damage. The price is naturally very expensive, and many servants of noble families will rush to buy it at a high price after seeing it, so twenty or thirty times is common."

Indeed, the most indispensable thing in the capital is people with status and money.

The price of vegetables that is twenty or thirty times higher is unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not much in the eyes of these nobles.

It's a good and profitable business.

Huo Junyao smiled secretly in her heart.

But at this moment, Aunt Xi quickly came over with a sullen face, grabbing the aggrieved Xiao Chan with her head lowered. "Miss."

"Auntie Xi, what's going on?"

Huo Junyao frowned and looked at Xiaochan, feeling a little unhappy.

Xiaochan is the person around her, and she has never bullied her like this. Even if Auntie Xi is the one in charge, she still has to give her some face, right?
"Miss, Xiaochan just came over and asked me to ask my old slave to arrange for someone to buy two hundred pieces of white cloth?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

Huo Junyao nodded lightly, and Grandma Xi's expression changed again, and she asked, "What does the young lady want with so much white cloth?"

At this time, there was a hint of questioning in Aunt Xi's tone.

Hong Xiu, who was standing behind Huo Junyao, frowned slightly and looked at Aunt Xi with a bit of displeasure.

That is to say, she didn't say anything because she saw that the other party was the old man next to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. If it had been anyone else who dared to question her young lady like this, she would have shouted out loudly.

"What do I need to explain to you?"

Huo Junyao's voice suddenly turned cold.

She is not someone who is easy to bully, especially since she has seen many plots of being a slave and bullying her master in her previous life. She knows very well when to be tough. If she softens at this time, it will make the other party think that she is weak. Then in the future, she will If you want to order the people below to do something, I'm afraid it won't be too easy.

She came to this hot spring resort because she wanted to show off her skills. There were many things that she couldn't do alone and needed help from the people below.

We just got here today, and if Grandma Xi gets hard, she may not be able to do anything in the future.

Aunt Xi on the opposite side noticed that Huo Junyao's voice had become colder, and her heart skipped a beat.

Recalling his tone just now, sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Damn the old slave."

Huo Junyao glanced at her lightly and said, "Since you are an old man next to my mother, forget it this time. Next time, you can pack your things and go back to my mother."

"Yes, thank you miss."

Nanny Xi was trembling in her heart. She knew very well that if Huo Junyao drove her back, Her Royal Highness the Princess would immediately guess that she had neglected this young lady, and she would probably shed some skin even if she didn't die.

"Okay, you go down and do as I say. Don't ask questions you shouldn't."

Aunt Xi quickly responded and stepped back quickly.

"Miss, you are so powerful, you were able to calm down Grandma Xi immediately."

When Grandma Xi walked away, Xiaochan walked up to Huo Junyao with a smile and praised her in a low voice.

"You, don't talk nonsense. After all, Auntie Xi is the one in charge here. Many things still require her nod. In the future, you can't neglect her just because of what happened today. You still have to give her the respect that should be given. "

Xiaochan nodded repeatedly.

Although she is young, she knows a lot of things, especially the affairs of this deep house and compound. It can be said that she has been exposed to it since she was a child.

I know that for some people, even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you still have to be the best at saving face, especially when they are servants.

Huo Junyao is the only one in the village who can scold Aunt Xi like this.

"But, Miss, what do you need so much white cloth for? You can't even make dresses from that stuff."

"It has its own magical effect, you will know it later."

As for Aunt Xi, after she retreated tremblingly, she felt deeply relieved.

"As expected of His Highness's child, his aura is exactly the same as when His Highness was young."

"It was me who was reckless this time. Fortunately, the young lady didn't care too much. Otherwise, His Highness would have found out about it and would have definitely given him a slap in the face."
