Daughter of Hou's Mansion

"I don't want, you take all those people away. You just leave the daylight." Qingluan refused straight away. If Shangguan Qin's death was really tricky, it would be extremely dangerous for Shangguanjue to go to the northwest this time, not to mention The various forces in Shangjing do not want the Prince Qin's Mansion to continue to be in charge of the military power in the Northwest. The people in Hongye Villa are all capable, and it is most appropriate to follow Shangguan Jue's side.

Shangguan Jue's eyes softened, he lowered his head and kissed Qingluan's forehead and said: "Don't worry, if I go to the northwest, I will take good care of myself. I still have other people available, so you don't have to worry about my safety, you Just protect yourself."

Qingluan's heart was depressed, and even his expression was sullen.

Shangguan felt distressed, but the trip to the northwest was a foregone conclusion, the current situation in the northwest, the emperor couldn't hold back the old man.Heaving a sigh of relief, Shangguan Jue patted Qingluan on the shoulder and said, "Aluan, let me rub the medicine on you."

For a moment, the room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, the ointment was slightly cold, but Shangguan Jue's fingers were warm, and his movements were very gentle, as if Qingluan was a fragile treasure, cold and warm. As the heat alternated, Qingluan shivered slightly, and buried her face in the pillow, but her snow-white skin was stained with a faint pink, like a peach blossom blooming in February, fresh and moving.

The kitchen steward knelt on the ground tremblingly, sweat dripping down his forehead and back.

When Li Changshi got the news, he passed away on the spot, everything was over, and the most profitable business of the whole year became a mess, he couldn't believe what he would support the princess mansion with.

************************************************** ************************

Princess Duanmin, as the most favored daughter of the first emperor, and her current sister, her annual salary is 00 taels of silver. Of course, this 00 taels of silver is not enough for the ten-day expenses of the Princess Mansion, and the Princess Mansion also earns money. For Princess Duanmin, the main source of money is the silk trade from Jiangnan to Shangjing.

Qingluan didn't say a word, Shangguanjue stretched out his hand and untied her clothes. When Qingluan came to his senses, only a bright yellow apron embroidered with crabapple flowers was left on his body.

But what she didn't know was that Shangguanjue had seen it several times while she was asleep. In Shangguanjue's eyes, those intricate scars were only filled with distress. It will be twice as severe, and he will not let go of those who hurt A Luan.

However, at the beginning of the new year, there was a problem with the first batch of goods shipped to Shanghai. The goods in fifty cars were all soaked in water. Everyone knew that once the silk and satin were soaked in water, they would be completely destroyed, let alone these goods. The buyers are all famous and prestigious families in Shangjing, who would use such silk and satin.

Chang Shi, who is in charge of property in Princess Duanmin's mansion, is almost turning gray with worry, because the princess mansion has encountered an unprecedented economic crisis.

"Go and call me the steward of the kitchen." Princess Duanmin smashed a jade bowl in front of her with a wave of her hand. Who in Shangjing doesn't know that Princess Duanmin eats the most delicate food, and she has to buy food every day in the kitchen. One hundred chickens and one hundred ducks are used as ingredients for other dishes, and only freshly picked cabbage is used for dishes, and pork is only eaten from the back of piglets that are less than five days old.

Princess Duanmin roughly flipped over, her face was gloomy and ugly, she is not a fool, the princess mansion has suffered so many losses in such a short period of time, it is impossible to say that no one is behind the calculation, combined with what happened some time ago She quickly thought of the matter.

The young man in white tulle fed the food into the mouth of the eldest princess, Duanmin eldest princess just chewed it, the half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and the stern look in those eyes frightened Mian Shou took two steps back, and then the mouthful of food was spit out.

"The villain sent people to investigate and found that it was not the people from Prince Qin's residence who were responsible." Li Changshi shook his head in denial.

Importing goods from Jiangnan, which is rich in silk, to Shangjing, this route was developed by Princess Duanmin herself. Over the past decades, she has never lost her hand because of her status. This transaction can bring 10 taels of silver to the Princess Mansion every year. profit.

In the past years, although the property of the Princess Mansion was still making money, the expenses of the Princess Mansion were also huge, almost at the same level every year. As a result, the Princess Mansion was stretched out within the first month.

Listening to the warmth in Taoyuan, the princess mansion is in chaos.

The steward was shocked when he heard the words, and kowtowed again and again: "Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me, it's not that the villain is not dedicated, but that there is usually 100 taels of silver for food materials every day, but now it has been cut off abruptly." Half, the villain will only do this when he has no choice." 13acv.

The chief official of the Princess Mansion immediately went into the investigation and found that the reason was from his own family members. The chief manager sent by the Princess Mansion to Jiangnan owed a large amount of money and embezzled the money from the Princess Mansion. , This is why there is such a large amount of water-soaked goods.

Facing the person he loves, he always wants to show him the best side of himself, and Qingluan is no exception. This is not the first time that Qingluan has been treated with medicine for his injuries. Every time I wanted to take a look, she threw them out. Those scars were too ferocious, one by one, some even higher than the skin, and tangled into a ball. Sometimes Qingluan would look at it by himself. She felt disgusted, so she didn't want Shangguan Jue to see this.Don't leave it blank.

Princess Duanmin glanced at him and said, "Today's dish is your master?"

Li Changshi has served as an accountant since the establishment of the Princess Mansion, and he also spoke in front of Princess Duanmin, so when the princess's people went to invite him, he brought the account book over by the way, Now I can still allocate 50 taels of money to the accountant, but I am afraid that there will be no 50 taels in another month. There is still a whole year, how the princess mansion should live, I am really worried about him.

"Li Changshi, what's going on here?" Princess Duanmin pointed to the dishes on that table. Although the number of dishes was still the same as before, the dishes were several grades lower.

Shangguan couldn't help but bowed his head and pressed a kiss on Qingluan's back. The soft touch made Qingluan's body tremble even more.

"Is this the uncle's hand?" Princess Duan Min first thought of Shangguan Miao, and she believed that this uncle was not as low-key as he showed, and he was able to make a lot of troubles in such a short period of time. I am afraid that he is the only one who will attack the Princess Mansion.

The choy sum that I eat on weekdays is the innermost layer. Obviously, the choy sum on that plate was fooled by someone. Princess Duanmin glanced at the dishes on the table, and her expression suddenly sank. When did you get so depressed.

The 2 taels of silver was in vain, and Princess Duan Min directly killed the chief steward.

The man was so frightened that he dared not speak, but nodded his head dully.

Princess Duanmin couldn't help frowning. At the beginning of the year, she knew about the loss of 2 taels of silver due to the batch of soaked materials. Li Changshi hadn't had time to report the subsequent losses to her, so She still doesn't know that the accountant of the princess mansion is already stretched.

"Don't move." Shangguan Jue's tone was a little hasty, he reached out and took the jade skin ointment given by Murong Yurou, and gently applied it to the wounds.

Princess Duanmin didn't say much, she waved her hand and said, "Pull it down, I'm dead."

Li Changshi said with a wry smile: "Princess, this is the last money that the Princess Mansion can provide at the moment. According to this cost, the money in the accounting room can only last for one month." Li Changshi said and handed it over. ledger.

The mouth that has been used for many years is extremely tricky, and today's choy sum was just broken off an extra layer, and she ate it out.

Shangguan Jue's eyes darkened, and he lightly brushed those scars distressedly, Qingluan grabbed his hand and said: "Don't touch it, it's so ugly."

To make matters worse, one of the several silkworm farms in the south of the Yangtze River in the Princess Mansion caught fire and burned down the workshop. All the hatched silkworm babies were killed in the flames. In five days, those green mountains and forests turned into bare ones.

"No." Li Changshi said, "Your subordinates found out that it is related to the people in Hongye Villa?"

In the main hall, there are 120 four dishes on a long table, which is the most basic daily diet of Princess Duanmin.

The uneven scars were very dazzling on those Bai Xi's skin.

"Where is Li Changshi?" Princess Duanmin's face sank, she didn't dare to skip her meals.

"Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?" Princess Duanmin gritted her teeth when she mentioned Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, how dare a small Marquis Manor go against her princess mansion?

"What is this?" Duan Min frowned, and threw the plate of chicken soup and Wei Cai Xin on the ground.

"The No. [-] Villa in the Great Xia Dynasty?" Princess Duanmin frowned more and more. Compared with Hongye Villa, her own business was nothing compared to Hongye Villa, but she couldn't figure out why Hongye Villa would do so. Take the shot, doesn't he know that those properties belong to the Princess Mansion?

"Yes, Hongye Villa has only risen for seven years, but it is already the number one villa in the Great Xia Dynasty. Its industries cover food, clothing, housing and transportation. Some people rumor that the wealth of Hongye Villa is richer than the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty." Li Changshi was a little distressed, although Their side is the Princess Mansion, but when it comes to business methods, they are really not enough for others to see. The key is that they do it neatly. Even if you have a loophole, you can't find any evidence. Hongye Villa is not so easy to mess with.

But if this contradiction is not resolved, will the princess mansion really have to live on the princess's salary in the future?
