After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 17 The First Money

Chu Lingyao took over the business of purchasing ingredients for the Dianshan Bureau. With her were two nuns, five maids who worked for the Dianshan Bureau, and a horse driver.

As soon as it got dark, they set out from the back door of the East Palace.

The street closest to the palace is Chang'an Street.

On Chang'an Street, the patrolling officers and soldiers were riding horses in an orderly manner. The prosperity was filled with the aura of nobles. If you look up casually, you will see that everyone is wearing gold and silver. After all, most of the people who stop and buy here are The royal merchants had direct transactions with the palace, and the rest was also the property of the officials and powerful people.

The vegetable shop and the butcher shop are far apart, and more than just the palace people come here to buy food, so the delay will be longer.

The nuns had some inconvenience and went to the nearby butcher shop, while Chu Lingyao and several other maids went to buy vegetarian dishes.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Lingyao ran around exploring the way, passing through several alleys, his sight widened, and the sounds of the busy city filled his ears.

The private market is indeed more crowded than the gold and silver shops filled with imperial merchants. Although Chang'an Street is luxurious, the atmosphere is silently elegant, so the morning market must be lively.

Chu Lingyao found a place to make money today and went back to Chang'an Street to meet the other palace ladies. She spent a long time exploring the way and there was no time for her to set up a stall to make money.

When Chu Lingyao came back the next day, she found a clear path through the winding road, which led her directly to the private market. She found a lot of people, spread out a stack of spreads, sat cross-legged, and grabbed some food from the farmland. The two hens that came out were placed in front of him and began to sell.

An old woman stopped under Chu Lingyao's stall and glanced at Chu Lingyao's ugly face. She couldn't bear to look at it. She squatted down and grabbed the beak of the old hen to look at it. She then lifted up the chicken's feathers and looked at the foot pads.

Chu Lingyao said: "Auntie, do you want to buy it to make soup?"

The old woman giggled and said: "The little girl is quite understanding. She knows what my old woman is doing. Yes, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. I will buy her an old hen to stew soup to supplement her."

Chu Lingyao grabbed the one that the old woman wasn't looking at and lifted it along the base of the chicken's wings, "Madam, look at this chicken. I have raised it at home for more than four years. It will definitely be replenished by the stew!"

The old woman pinched the chicken's beak and saw that the beak was thick and short, with hard knots at the end, and the corners of the mouth on both sides were wide and rough.

She picked up the chicken's feet again and took a look. The pads were thick and hard, the color was darker, and the crooks were also long.

This girl didn't lie to her, this chicken must be more than four years old.

After shopping around for so long, the old woman finally found an older hen. She immediately agreed, "Sure, I want this one."

Chu Lingyao bent her eyes and smiled, "Auntie, my daughter-in-law needs to drink soup, and my son needs to eat meat. This old hen stew is very nourishing, but the meat is very thick and the taste is not good."

The old woman understood what Chu Lingyao meant. Of the two chickens she sold, one was suitable for soup and the other was suitable for eating meat. She wanted to package and sell them.

The old woman thought about it and realized that she couldn't just focus on her daughter-in-law and forget about her son. She touched her purse and said, "Girl, you have to give me a bargain."

Chu Lingyuan raised the two chickens nicely and said, "No problem, aunt. It's just that I'm new to the capital and I just did business today. Please find me more visitors in the future."

The old woman said happily: "It's done."

Although this girl is very ugly, she is not bad.

After Chu Lingyao collected the money, she held it in her chest. The money was cold, but she felt warm inexplicably.

This is the first money she has ever made in this world.

The first success will always be more joyful than the next ten thousand successes.

For several days in a row, Chu Lingyao sold chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, fish, vegetables and fruits in different styles.

As a result, her purse gradually bulged, and all the salary she received was saved.

Chu Lingyao was more tired than before when she was at the Dianshan Bureau. She had to leave the palace and run back after selling the goods before she was discovered.

The customer pushed the price too hard, and she still had to make some counteroffers. If she couldn't negotiate, she could only sell it at a low price with tears in her eyes. She couldn't leave the palace for nothing without gaining anything.

But it’s still gratifying to see the savings increase.

The accumulation of less becomes more, and the accumulation of sand becomes a tower.

Only when the base of her feet is stable enough can she do more things.Chu Lingyao lay on the bed to rest, holding her purse in her hand.

Qiu Shuang entered the door, bowed, and announced through the screen: "Concubine, the Crown Princess invites you to drink tea in the back garden."

There must be a demon in Qiu Shuang's abnormality. Chu Lingyao stood up and looked out through the window lattice.

The Crown Princess's personal maid is waiting outside.

It seems that there is no escaping this time.

Whether it was the placement of an eye liner or the problem with the lightness of the first lunch, it was all a show of authority to Chu Lingyao.

The prince excused Chu Lingyao's greetings, which made Shen Jingli even more unhappy. If Chu Lingyao didn't go, who knows what kind of evil wind would be stirred up.

Qiu Shuang changed Chu Lingyao's clothes, leaned over and asked, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the Dianshan Bureau today. What if you are discovered?"

Chu Lingyao is really incapable of playing two roles, and he must be a master of time management.

She said: "Sooner or later it will all be revealed. The people in the Dining Bureau change every three months, and when the stewards come in, they will find something is wrong."

Qiu Shuang frowned, worried that it would affect her, "Why did you go to the Dianshan Bureau? Is it a new idea? Or are you used to working in the village, but you feel uncomfortable being the master? It was discovered that you were a concubine. If you act ugly and do rough things, you will still be blamed if you touch Dong Gong's face!"

Chu Lingyao felt a mosquito buzzing in her ear, "Don't sound like you're worried about me."

Qiu Shuang was so angry that she said, "I'm worried about what you are doing! You're so selfish! I'm worried about myself!"

Chu Lingyuan smiled, feeling more and more that Xiliang sent Qiu Shuang here just for fun.

She smoothed her hair and said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt you, and it won't touch me. The Dianshan Bureau where Xiao Mazi goes has nothing to do with me, Chu Lingyao."

Otherwise, why do you think she is so ugly on purpose?To avoid being recognized based on her body shape, she acted with a hunched back.

Shen Jingli's personal maid came to the back garden.

In the spring, flowers are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. The women in the pavilion are surrounded by tables, laughing and drinking tea.

When Chu Lingyao arrived, the laughter stopped. They all turned their heads and straightened their lips, looking her up and down.

Chu Lingyao stepped forward to greet Shen Jingli and the other concubines.

Shen Jingli looked calm and said, "Sister, please sit down quickly."

After Chu Ling sat down, one of the concubines said: "It turns out to be Sister Chu. I thought she was it. My sister always lives in the courtyard and rarely comes out. I don't see her in the morning meeting, so my impression of her is shallow." , Sister, don’t blame me.”

Before Chu Lingyao could answer, another concubine answered, "Sister Chu may be a stranger and come from another country. Your Highness feels sorry for your sister, so you don't have to pay her respects. I have visited my sister several times." , I was turned away every time.”

Sing and make peace with each other on purpose, right? It's you who are holding the string bag while talking.

Chu Lingyao's face was calm and he said: "I came to Beiliao because I was a little unaccustomed to the climate and caught the cold. His Highness the Crown Prince was worried that it would be passed on to all the sisters, so he didn't give me a greeting. I have always been weak, and it was late to recover from my illness, so I declined my sister. visit."

It turned out that the prince spared An because he was afraid that she would be infected.

When the concubines heard this, they all had smiles in their eyes, except Shen Jingli, whose face was cold and gloomy.

"I shouldn't be late."

Sun Liangren came with a white cat in his arms. As soon as he walked in, the white cat suddenly took off his hand, jumped down and ran towards the people in the pavilion.

When a concubine saw the white cat, her eyes overflowed with love, and she bent down to greet her: "It's Xiao Hua. Why did Sun Liangren take it out? Is it here to bask in the sun? Xiao Hua is here."

The little flower raised by Sun Liangren has always been docile, with a pair of blue eyes and long, snow-like hair.

But when the white cat ran in front of the concubine, it suddenly raised its claws. The sharp claws scratched the skin, and three blood stains burst out and dripped along the chin.
