Chapter Fifty-Eight: Messy Accounts (Recommend 1800's Addition)

After Xu Zhaorong left, Jiang Yu walked to the table, picked up the pair of cards in the box casually, looked at them, and then threw them back into the box. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info flipped through the top account book at random, then closed it again, and patted his hand lightly on it, smiling.

Gong Quan, she is not Meng Yuyu who does not eat fireworks in the world, she naturally wants to hold it in her hand.

With palace power, it will be much easier for her to act in the future, and it will be much more inconvenient for others to do anything to her, who doesn't want to be stupid.

After a pause, she remembered something again, and said to the palace maid on the side, "Go and call Moyu." ”

The palace maid said yes, curted her knees, and then went out. After a while, Moyu walked in.

Mo Yu curtsied and asked, "Niangniang, what do you have to tell the slave?"

Jiang Yu asked, "What is tourmaline doing now?"

Mo Yu replied: "She asked the slave maid for some fabric needlework two days ago, and now she is making needlework. After a pause, he said, "The slave maid saw that she was tailoring clothes, and it was the color of peach, and the slave maid thought that she was probably making her own wedding dress." ”

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes, when her plan with Zhou Yun was first revealed, she still looked like she was dead, she thought that she would be like a dead heart until she died, but now she is in the mood to make a wedding dress for herself.

Jiang Yu said: "A few days ago, the palace promised General Zuo Wuhou to choose a good day to send the tourmaline to the Zhou family. You and Tourmaline grew up together, and they used to be like sisters, although she was ruthless to you, but you still have to be kind to her. It's up to you to take two people to send Tourmaline out of the palace to Zhou's house, and you can be regarded as personally sending her out of the cabinet. ”

Thinking about it, he said: "There is a box on the dressing table of the main palace, and a small box of gold and silver is contained in it. You give it to the tourmaline, for the sake of her serving the palace for so many years, it should be the dowry given to her by the palace. ”

Mo Yu sighed faintly, not knowing whether it was for himself or for tourmaline. Said yes and went out.

Jiang Yu sat back on the stool, leaned on the table and erected an account book to look through casually.

Although it was a cursory glance, I also found that there was a big problem with this account book.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation all need to be bought, but an egg costs five cents of silver, and it should be an egg made of gold.

Ordinary people can live a well-off life for a year with twenty taels of silver, and she can buy ten baskets of eggs for five cents of silver.

I don't know how much silver she took from Yu Wenhong's harem when the queen was in charge of the palace...... No, it should be said that the Empress Dowager Cui took how much silver she had.

When Xu Zhaorong was in charge of the palace, although the purchase in the palace was changed, and the shops that supplied to the palace were also changed, the eggs recorded in the account book were still five cents of silver, two taels of silver for a chicken, and two taels of silver for a duck...... No wonder so many people are rushing to be in charge.

One by one, they all wanted to get money from the harem, and Yu Wenhong didn't go bankrupt until now, which can be regarded as his ability.

Jiang Yu made a rough calculation, the silver allocated by the household department to the harem in a year is about one million taels, but based on the population of Yuwenhong's absolutely small palace concubines now, at least half of the silver has gone into the pockets of some people.

Jiang Yu closed the account book again, and thought about it seriously, after she took over the palace power, did she learn from the "seniors" to take advantage of the opportunity to build money, or help Yu Wenhong save money?

If she draws a scoop based on a gourd, she can earn one or two hundred thousand taels of silver a year.

But then again, she is in the harem, and there doesn't seem to be anything that needs to be used for silver. She is not the widowed concubine of Ningmo Palace now, and she still needs to make silver if she wants to call a slave. What she wants to do now, all she needs to do is one sentence, and there are a lot of minions rushing to slap her up.

I just don't know that Empress Dowager Cui has the best food, clothing, and housing, why is she so short of silver.

Jiang Yu was holding his chin and thinking about it, Mo Yu came in from the outside again, bent his knees to Jiang Yu, and called: "Niangniang." ”

Jiang Yu came back to his senses, put down his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mo Yu said: "Tourmaline is outside, saying that he wants to come in and kowtow to you." ”

Jiang Yu said: "There's no need to kowtow, and this palace is not in the mood to see her." The relationship between the palace and her master and servant has been severed, and no matter how she lives in the Zhou family in the future, it has nothing to do with the palace, and she should not bother the palace. ”

Mo Yu sighed, and wanted to speak for Tourmaline: "Otherwise, you will allow her to come in and kowtow, at most the mother will not talk to her." The slave saw the tourmaline and knelt outside with tears in her eyes and refused to leave, saying that she didn't know when she would be able to see her mother again when she left the palace. She did something that her mother didn't like, and she didn't ask her mother for forgiveness, she just asked to kowtow to her mother and thank her mother for her love for so many years. ”

Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at Mo Yu and said, "Mo Yu, you still have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, sometimes being too kind will kill yourself." You've forgotten how tourmaline was done to you. ”

Mo Yu said: "The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid also hate the tourmaline for being selfish and ruthless, but after all, the tourmaline has been with the slave and the maid for so many years......"

Jiang Yu interrupted her and said: "Do you think that Tourmaline really wants to kowtow to this palace because of the love of master and servant for many years, yes, this palace admits that she may indeed have part of this reason." ”

After all, people are not ruthless, she has been a master and servant with Meng Yuyu for so many years, and Meng Yuyu is not bad for her, she is a kitten and a dog should have feelings for her master.

But the more important reason is that she wants to seek a guarantee for her life in the Zhou family. ”

Even Moyu knew that tourmaline would not have a good time going to the Zhou family, Zhou Bi was reluctant to blame his son, and would only take all the previous things on tourmaline, and it was strange that the Zhou family could be friendly to her. When Zhou Yun marries a wife, she, a concubine, will have to beg for a living under the nose of the main mother.

A concubine who is not liked by the Zhou family is the most suitable for the main mother to use to establish authority. Zhou Yun may protect her a little because of guilt, but with Zhou Yun's temperament, she is not the person he really loves, how powerful this protection can be.

Now everyone outside knows that she, the concubine, has been separated from her, and she wants to kowtow to her, but she wants to tell outsiders to tell the Zhou family that she, the palace maid, still has some status and affection in the eyes of her concubine, and the Zhou family may not dare to treat her casually in her face.

Mo Yu lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before she said again: "Tourmaline also said that if Niangniang refuses to see her, let the slave maid tell Niangniang on her behalf, she will always be Niangniang's maid if she is a maid for a day, if it weren't for Niangniang, she would have died a long time ago, no matter where she is in the future, she will remember Niangniang, and pray for Niangniang's blessing and health every day." In the future, if she has the opportunity, she will definitely come back to visit her mother. ”

Jiang Yu sighed in her heart, she guessed that she would not see her.

Jiang Yu raised his hand and made a "no" gesture to Mo Yu, and said, "You tell her that when you leave this palace gate, this palace hopes that she will never step in again, anyway, she is full of thoughts and flies outside the palace gate." The palace rewarded her to Zhou Yun, and she can be regarded as seeking benevolence. If she really thinks about the relationship between master and servant, don't let this palace see her again in the future. ”

Mo Yu didn't say anything more, but there was still a little sadness in his eyes, and he bent his knees to Jiang Yu and went out.
