Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 29

Shuning knew that she would report her words and deeds to the palace every day, and she didn't know if changing the rules would make the people above think she was too petty, but she would definitely do what she thought was right.If the emperor and the queen mother really think that they can't make it to the stage, she can't take care of it so much. She was a grassroots in her previous life, and the education she received made her not wasteful. Even if she is reborn into a wealthy family now, Shu Ning never advocates waste.So when she eats, she always orders two dishes she likes, and then cooks two dishes in the kitchen, and then adds a soup.

From Shuning's point of view, whether a person has a temperament and upbringing can't be seen by how many dishes he has.Too much is called extravagance and waste, which is completely unnecessary in her heart.

Don't look at her only reducing the vegetables by more than half, but these vegetables will save a lot of money in a year. It is unknown how many ordinary families can be supported by these money.She can't ask others not to waste, but she can stick to her principles.

"How is it? Let me just say that this girl is not bad, right?"

The Queen Mother looked at the Daily News and couldn't be more satisfied with Shuning.Although Shu Ning's behavior seemed to lower her status a bit, it also proved that this girl has good moral character.She doesn't just eat ordinary food blindly, such as bird's nest and ginseng, as long as it is suitable for her, she will eat it, but she will not waste it within her own scope.

Unlike many concubines, they can't wait to fill up their tables to prove that they are favored.In fact, the concubines ate very little of those dishes, and many of them were removed without touching a chopstick, either rewarding the people below to eat, or throwing them all away.

A large amount of money is wasted in the palace every year. Although the Great Xia Dynasty was under the rule of the current emperor, the treasury was full, but the world will never be peaceful, and there will be disasters of all sizes every year. The money in the treasury is not used to give to the harem concubines wasteful.

The emperor himself reduced his meal from 64 to 36, the queen mother also reduced it to 24, and the empress also reduced it to [-].

Maybe it was just a coincidence that Shu Ning did this, but it undoubtedly hit the point of the three giants in the palace.It makes them satisfied with her a lot, at least they would rather have a concubine who spends money and does not waste money than a concubine who is extravagant and wasteful.

That's right, in the eyes of the three giants of the palace, the newly-appointed concubine Jia is a concubine who spends money and does not waste money.Everyone knows not to waste, so what about the expense?

It all started a few days ago. The newly-appointed Concubine Jia doesn’t like people to divide her red clothes into several pieces. As new, one piece has not been worn.The old clothes were given to the servants, [-]% to [-]% of the new ones were given to those members of the Yongninghou family who were not in a good family, and the brand new ones were given to sisters with better relationships.

Let's not talk about the first two, they definitely won't dislike Shuning's clothes.The latter category, of course not.Not only would they not, but they had to put away the clothes well, not only to wear them themselves, but also to keep them for their daughters.You must know that this is the clothes that are rewarded by the second-rank imperial concubines. Sometimes such a dress may be of great help to them.

So the clothes that Shuning sent out are very popular. Of course, she didn't give them casually. She didn't give away any of those whose family background was better than Shuning's, because the girls from such families might make clothes with better materials than her. That's good, wouldn't she hit someone in the face when she sent the clothes?

Therefore, all the girls she sent were girls whose family background was not as good as that of Yongning Hou Mansion, but who were relatively close to her.

Being the emperor's concubine is also a concubine, don't even think about wearing bright red clothes in this life.Although she herself doesn't particularly love red, but when she really lost it, she realized that it was a blessing to be able to wear Zhenghong in ancient times.

Also, those clothes embroidered with peony patterns in the past can't be worn, and they are also given away.
