Concubine's elegance is peerless

Chapter 114 Are You Jealous?
Rong Xueyi felt that it was not easy for Rong Wenxia, ​​so she put on a helpless look and said, "Oh, then congratulations to Second Sister for getting into King Xin's eyes."

"Are you jealous?" Rong Wenxia couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes, and she had no intention of hiding it, so the smugness in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"Yes, I am very jealous." Rong Xueyi said lightly: "If the second sister has nothing else to do, I will go back first, and the second sister will also go back and prepare the clothes for going to the palace tomorrow!"

Rong Wenxia's goal has been achieved, thinking that she really needs to go back to prepare, so she ignores Rong Xueyi, turns around and goes back.

After Rong Xueyi returned to Tingxue Pavilion, Chu Dongcheng was already waiting inside. When he saw her coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet her, looked at her and said, "Why did the prince take Miss out today?"

Rong Xueyi didn't answer and asked instead: "How is your contact with Yincheng Mansion? When can we start cleaning the underground drains?"

After she got the qualifications of being an official and businessman that day, she asked Chu Dongcheng to deal with this matter. After careful consideration of the time, she should take action now.

When Chu Dongcheng heard her ask about the underground drain, he said: "Miss told me last time that our current foundation is not stable, so it's better for us not to show up directly for the time being. Although Ding Erbao's background is not good, he is still very reliable in his work." He went to the yamen again today to destroy it, because this matter was directly ordered by the prince, and our qualifications as an official businessman were also instructed by the prince, so the yamen went smoothly, but it will take three to five days for those procedures to go through. , I expect that the official document will come down in a few days, and we will be able to officially start work."

Rong Xueyi nodded lightly and said: "This is the first business we have done, and it is dealing with the government, so you must be cautious."

Chu Dongcheng nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry, I know it well."

Rong Xueyi asked again: "Did the new rice come out this year?"

"It's coming down these days." Chu Dongcheng didn't know why she suddenly asked about this matter, but he still answered.

When Rong Xueyi went out with Mo Yan today, he did see that the rice was ripe and the people were harvesting it.

She pondered for a while before saying: "You go to the highlands in the west of the city to find a few larger warehouses in the past few days. Before you use them, please ask a mason to make the houses waterproof, and then go to harvest rice."

Chu Dongcheng didn't quite understand why she made this decision, but he still asked: "There are a lot of warehouses in the west of the city, and the prices are very cheap, but I don't know how much rice the lady wants to buy?"

Xinzhou is located in the southwest of Xiatang, and it is a real land of fish and rice. One-fifth of the rice grain in Xiatang comes from Xinzhou.

Rong Xueyi thought for a while and said, "Use all the 10 taels of silver in our hands to buy rice."

Chu Dongcheng was shocked: "Miss, the rice grain bought for 10 taels may be piled as high as a mountain, it is really too much! Besides, the salary paid by the prince for repairing the underground canal this time is only enough. We can't earn money at all, so it would be too risky to use all the money to buy rice?"

Rong Xueyi said decisively: "Use it all to buy rice, don't keep it."

Chu Dongcheng obviously couldn't understand such behavior, and said anxiously: "It is said that this year's rice harvest has been bumper, and the price of rice grain has dropped sharply. What are we doing with so much rice grain now?"
