gold princess

The concubine pursed her lips, and a wry smile appeared on her pale face, "Ju Qing, am I being too harsh on Bugui?"

After the death of the concubine’s dowry maid, Ju Qing has been serving the concubine. Ju Qing knows most about the concubine’s affairs, and Ju Qing can also figure out one or two of the concubine’s concerns. "Although you are strict with the concubine Shizi, the concubine Shizi is a lenient person and does not hold grudges against you. At the door that day, you also heard with your own ears what the concubine Shizi said to Concubine Yun and Concubine Li. I know how much the Crown Princess defends and protects you. The Crown Princess doesn't care about such trivial matters at all, so you can relax."

The concubine smiled bitterly and closed her eyes slightly. She was ill that day and her body was inconvenient. When Ju Qing helped her up, she saw Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui still outside the yard, as if they were talking to someone. The concubine was puzzled and asked Ju Qing to help her. She went to the side to listen, and heard Li Fangfei's provocation, Yun Fangfei's instigation, and also heard Yun Buhui's counterattack. Yun Buhui defended her many times. She will not let Li Shi and Yun Shi ridicule her, and she can rest well even when she is ill.

Now that she is replacing Yun's head, the princess feels unspeakable.Ju Qing looked at the princess, her illness was too severe, she looked haggard, she looked much older than usual, Ju Qing also felt sorry for her master, and couldn't help saying, "Princess, forgive me for talking too much, the past is the past. Well, if the concubine is always thinking about it, she will end up having trouble with herself and looking for trouble. The prince treats you coldly, but the son and concubine are filial. The two princesses are caring. God treats the concubine well. Enjoy the blessings. Besides, the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with the concubine, if you don't think so, that person owes you, and her daughter comes to be your daughter-in-law and honors you, isn't it just repaying the debt?"

The concubine smiled bitterly, Xiuyu didn't owe her anything, it was she who couldn't see it, resented Xiuyu, and occupied the prince's heart for a lifetime, the resentment for so many years has become a habit, it is not easy to let go.

Ju Qing just clicked on it, and didn't have a deep talk. She helped the princess to lie down, and said softly, "Princess, don't think about it. If you are not healthy, you should rest more. Dongyuan has a concubine to worry about, so you can rest assured to recover from your illness."

The princess smiled faintly, "It seems that you all trust her a lot."

"The prince trusts the concubine." Ju Qing said, helping the concubine to tuck the quilt, "As slaves, we must trust the master."

The princess rested with her eyes closed, and Ju Qing wanted to go out to let her calm down. The princess suddenly said, "I don't regret being the head of the house for the first time, and there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions. If you ask her to understand anything wrong, she can come and ask me."

Ju Qing was startled, then smiled lightly, "Yes, the servant is taking orders."

……

After the Lord Yun Buhui, Fang knew that there were many and complicated things in the palace, and she had to look over all the big and small affairs, such as the distribution of routine money in the four gardens, the purchase of the palace, the distribution of valuables, the deployment of the servants in the palace, the safety of the palace, and daily life. There are so many things, Yun Buhui felt very upset when he took office. The most terrible thing is that among the four gardens, east, west, north, and south, Dongyuan is indeed the most expensive, and most of them are in Haoyue Residence, but Xiyuan, Nanyuan and Beiyuan spend the most money. Not small, the monthly expenses are even greater than the monthly income.

It is a big taboo for rich families to make ends meet. In order to maintain the appearance of prosperity without money support, it is not a long-term solution.Yun Buhui counted the expenses for several months this year, and was slightly surprised that the expenses of the Wangfu were twice as much as that of the Lou's.

Looking at the historical accounts of the mansion for several days in a row, she kept her calculations in check. She found that there were hundreds of taels every month that were not matched, which was really a headache. A few hundred taels a month was not a small amount. Where, I'm afraid the princess herself doesn't know.

Seeing that she was reading the accounts late, Lingxi persuaded her to rest, and said, "The mansion spends several thousand taels a month, and it is common for the accounts to be inconsistent from time to time."

Yun Buhui smiled faintly, she hated the accounts being inaccurate the most, after she took care of the matter, there would never be a problem of inconsistencies in the accounts.

Concubine Li came to collect the daily expenses. Once she received it, it was the daily expenses for ten days. Concubine Li complicated the daily expenses of the palace.The concubine used to give 50 taels a day for expenses, because there are small kitchens in all four gardens, and occasionally the small kitchens also need to prepare some food, so there is less to give to the kitchen.

After Yun Buhui made a calculation, he paid 30 taels a day for daily expenses. Concubine Li was very dissatisfied. Yun Buhui lost 20 taels as soon as he took office. Yun Buhui said, "Aunt Li, 30 taels a day is enough Everyone in the palace spends more than enough for one person, I don’t regret knowing that you are busy, but I still want to trouble you, let’s do this month’s expenses, I don’t regret wanting to compare it with last month.”

"It's not that I can't afford the money. It's only 30 taels a day. It's a joke." Concubine Li was dissatisfied. In fact, the daily expenses of the palace were more than 20 taels a day. Deducting more than ten taels without anyone noticing, the concubine never cared about such trivial accounts.

Yun Buhui smiled faintly, "I took a rough look at the expenses last month, pork was 9000 Wen per catty, the Palace bought 9 catties of pork a day, it was 20 Wen, and it was 6 Wen per month, which is [-] taels of silver. I asked Jing Nan to go to the market and ask, pork is clearly [-] taels a catty, and it only costs [-] taels a month, where does Aunt Li buy pork, it costs ten cents a catty?”

Concubine Li's complexion changed slightly, and she said forcefully, "I told people to buy the best ones for daily use, and sometimes they are more expensive."

Yun Buhui nodded, reluctantly agreeing with her statement, she said with a light smile, "Aunt Li, let's not talk about the expensive issue, let's talk about the accounts, there are accounts for daily food, many and complicated, I think my mother usually If you don't pay attention to checking the accounts, the accounts made by my aunt always lose one or two taels of silver every day, and this month, they are less than a few dozen taels."

Concubine Li clenched her fists tightly, Yun Buhui lowered her eyes, and smiled obediently and gently, "Aunt Li, you also know that it is the first time that Buhui is in charge, and there is always fear of mistakes and omissions in everything, and she is always trembling for fear of mistakes. It's messy, but I usually have plenty of time, so I will check the accounts carefully, but if there is a tael of silver missing, I will ask my aunt when the time comes, and I have to tell my whereabouts, and forget the past. From this month on, I have to trouble my aunt to be more careful."

Concubine Li received 300 taels and walked away.

Lingxi said, "Concubine Shizi, you are so amazing, Aunt Li was so angry that you left."

Yun Buhui smiled slightly, she was really tired from looking at the accounts of the Wangfu, and it seemed that she was struggling, with so many messy accounts, sometimes it was indeed a common thing that they couldn't match up.Bingyue said, "Miss, will this offend Concubine Li?"
