The concubine is so charming

Chapter 786

In the end, the three of Su Chenxi destroyed the lotus pond.

On the second day, Huhe Tuao, who had finally relaxed, came to the pond, and what he saw was a scene of broken roots and leaves.

He took a deep breath and almost didn't hold back his breath: "What's going on?"

The guard guarding the lotus pond stepped forward and reported cautiously: "The leader, it is the young master and the two sons of the Shen family who said they want to pick lotus pods..."

Hu Hetu closed his eyes: "Okay, needless to say, I already know. Chen Xi, the brat, the lotus pods are not ripe at all at this time of year!"

"The subordinates have said it, but the young masters don't listen at all..."

Huhe Tuao narrowed his eyes: "I'm going to find Feiyan. These three boys cause trouble when they have nothing to do. We must find something for them to do."

Su Chenxi thought that her father would have escaped without punishing him on the spot, but she didn't expect that the next day the famous minister would come to pass the message with a smile: "My lord, the lord has ordered that from today onwards, you and the two sons of the Shen family will Responsible for the purchase of supplies for the dining room, and later the steward of the dining room will come to ask you for instructions, and ask the three young masters to make preparations in advance."

Su Chenxi was taken aback, and quickly asked: "What? Isn't there a special manager responsible for the purchase of the dining room? Why did you leave it to us?"

"My subordinates heard that it was the leader's suggestion. They said that the three young masters didn't know how expensive Chai Mi was. In the Huhe tribe, lotus seeds can be regarded as a rare item. You and the two young masters of the Shen family destroyed the entire lotus pond. , that's all white money."

Su Chenxi felt a little guilty: "Yesterday we just wanted to see if there were any mature ones, but we found that one was not, and the other was not. It can't be our fault."

"Master Xiang also said the same thing. He said that the three sons cannot be blamed. It was because those lotus pods didn't know the season when they grew up. Who made them immature. But the leader was very angry, and he didn't listen to Master Xiang's excuse at all. The three sons are going to be fined, so after several pleadings from the prime minister, I only let you be responsible for the purchase of the dining room, and I ask you to be more careful, after all, there is money, if the sons do not handle it properly, it may be impossible In the last few days of the month, there will be no rice to cook."

Su Chenxi's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Grandpa has stipulated how much money to use, right?"

"It's natural. The leader said that every porridge and meal should be considered hard-won; half a thread, half a sliver, the constant memory is difficult. If the money is not stipulated, wouldn't it lose the meaning of asking the three young masters to reflect?"

Su Chenxi was about to get discouraged, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head again: "Are you sure my grandfather said that? My grandfather doesn't like to read books on weekdays. It's no wonder he knows this, it's clearly daddy You messed up behind your back!"

This is not to care about him, it is clearly waiting to dig a hole for him now!
The famous official lowered his head and coughed slightly: "Cough... Young Master, you should make preparations earlier."

Su Chenxi hurried over and grabbed Ming Chen's sleeve, and said pitifully, "Uncle Ming Chen, let me know how my father is going to punish me?"

"My lord, I'm worrying too much. The Prime Minister only ordered this, and didn't say anything else. As long as you and the two lords of the Shen family make a plan, it's only a month, and it will pass soon."

After the famous minister left, Su Chenxi quickly called Shen Chengyun and Shen Ci over: "You all come to think of a way, and see what kind of hole my father has dug for me?"

Shen Chengyun scratched his head, looking helpless: "Brother, you also know my ability, if you let me settle the score, it's okay, I really can't help you much, but Shen Ci is definitely fine, he is at home But I have helped my dad deal with the things in the store, but it is just a simple purchase, he must be very proficient."

Shen Ci was serious, looking like he was thinking seriously.

Su Chenxi thought there was something interesting at the first glance: "What good idea did you think of?"

Shen Ci raised his head, and his voice was much more serious than usual: "Should we also be responsible for purchasing the meals for the eldest princess and the side-by-side king?"

"Naturally, we are responsible for all the fires in the entire palace, and we must consider all aspects."

When Shen Ci heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then let's get someone to inquire, inquire, and see where the rice porridge comes from is the most delicious."

"Rice? Cook porridge? Are you going to let my father and mother drink porridge for the next month?" Su Chenxi thought quickly, with a very tangled expression, "If my father is the only one, let him drink one Yue's white porridge is nothing, just to take revenge on him, but isn't there still my mother? I don't want her to suffer."

Shen Ci's cheeks were slightly red: "I didn't mean that, I was just thinking that Princess Bao'er can drink some rice porridge now, since we are in charge of purchasing, the things sent to Princess Bao'er are naturally the best... As for the rest, I haven't thought about it yet!"

Su Chenxi slammed her head on the table, raised her finger and pointed at the two of them, her voice was full of depression: "At the critical moment, neither of the two younger brothers can be trusted, so I have to do it myself!"

There was nothing wrong in the past few days, Su Yao looked at the list that the steward of the dining room sent up every day, and couldn't help smiling: "Chen Xi manages things in a orderly manner, but he doesn't seem to be edgy in the past."

"Everything in the past few days has been followed by the old calendar, so naturally there will be no problems. Next, it will be the time to really test them."

Accidents happened one after another in the Huhe Tribe. After the merchants of the Da'an Dynasty learned about it through various channels, they gradually reduced the number of times they came here.

After all, the Da’an Dynasty itself has a vast land and rich resources, and there are endless businesses everywhere. The main reason for the previous contacts with the Huhe Tribe is that Huhe Tuao gave a series of extremely favorable policies. Now Huhe Tuhun has changed all the previous policies. , and also increased the tax on merchants. It would be good to go back and forth, not to mention earning money.

In this way, naturally no one would run this way foolishly.

In a short period of time, the people of the Huhe Tribe didn't notice anything unusual, but gradually, they found that the prices of things that were usually extremely cheap began to increase, and moreover, they became more expensive every day.

Especially salt and tea, these two things became ridiculously expensive overnight.

Su Chenxi received the list from the steward of the dining room, pulled Shen Chengyun to check the accounts carefully, and swallowed silently: "So according to our plan, isn't the money enough to last until the end of the month, and there is still a little surplus? ? Why is it not enough to count today?"

"Please be clear, my lord, everything is really expensive these two days, so there is nothing I can do if the money is too much, and please find a way as soon as possible, otherwise I may not be able to afford porridge every day for the next half month." .”

Su Chenxi closed the account book angrily: "I knew it, Dad must have calculated everything, just waiting to see my jokes today! Young master won't give up easily, let's wait and see!"
