Chapter 145: Constrained
Meng Zhining stood at the door, took a hairpin from her head and said, "Shopkeeper, this should be enough." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The shopkeeper of Qingyun Pavilion took the hairpin, looked at it for a while, and knew that the hairpin he was holding in his hand was very expensive, and it was worth four hundred taels of silver.
He said quietly: "Enough, then I won't bother you and leave first." ”
Sending out the shopkeeper of Qingyun Pavilion, Yan Xiling pinched her waist and said, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Meng Zhining looked at the sky and said, "What other ideas do you have, you can only make money, is there any other way." ”
Yan Xiling stood up and said, "Now there is no silver in the palace, there is no cost." ”
The cost is not a problem at all, Meng Zhining picked up an enamel vase on the table and said, "The prince shouldn't be fine without this vase." ”
Yan Xiling nodded.
"Since it's useless, what's the point of keeping it?" She picked up the vase and said, "There are too many sundries in the palace, since this is the case, it is better to take them away." ”
It was indeed a good idea to be lost, Yan Xiling took the vase in her hand and said, "This king has a better idea." ”
Yan Xiling said that he had a better idea, but it was still what she asked, and Yan Xiling just didn't tell her.
What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?
She doesn't have time to think about this now, and now that the palace is almost out of the pot, she has to think of a countermeasure.
She took out five hundred taels of silver from under the bed, first asked the purchaser to buy the things needed today, and then instructed the guards to keep an eye on the gate and not to let the women of the other courtyard go out.
I can't see how they spend their money. If asked, she would directly say that it was said by the prince.
Anyway, Yan Xiling told her that she would do it herself, so this is her way.
These five hundred taels of silver should last a few days.
But because the inventory was almost zero, there was not much left of the five hundred taels of silver in three days, Meng Zhining gritted her teeth, and was ready to continue to spend money in her private house, so she waited for Yan Xiling.
However, Yan Xiling still didn't plan to tell her what she wanted to do, he just came to her yard to move something.
"Ning'er, borrow these things for use first, and sell them better for you when you have money." Yan Xiling told her while directing people to move things.
She bowed her head, and she didn't feel much distressed, but Yan Xiling moved everything, even her bed.
Steward Song knocked on the abacus: "Big flower wood carving bed, two hundred taels"
"Lord Wang, where will the concubine sleep tonight?" Meng Zhining looked indifferent.
Yan Xiling said that she didn't see anything, and cleared most of the things in her room.
But it's good that the room is a lot simpler.
After the things were moved, Yan Xiling pinched her face and said, "Don't worry, you'll know in a few days." ”
Meng Zhining sighed: "I'm afraid that the silver from the concubine will be exhausted before it arrives in a few days." ”
Yan Xiling smiled and said: "Don't think I don't know how much private money you have in this girl, isn't three thousand taels enough these days?" ”
Meng Zhining's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step back and asked, "Why do you still have three thousand taels in your concubine?" ”
It doesn't make sense, his three thousand taels of silver are prepared for emergency for himself, and he has always been close to his body, how could Yan Xiling know?
"So, don't hide anything from this king."
The next few days were quite boring, and she was completely counting the ledger, she put down the brush, pinched her hair and played, wondering if her hair would be gray in a few days.
It's so funny to think about it, and I can't help but laugh out loud.
Yan Xiling disappeared for half a day, and she didn't ask her to make breakfast in the morning, she was idle, but it was boring, looking at the account book, she turned around and went out to bask in the sun.
In the afternoon, Yan Xiling came back with the secret guards in the courtyard, and these secret guards all had sad faces.
"Lord Wang, why did you go?" She asked curiously.
Yan Xiling didn't answer her question, but handed her some baskets and said, "These are wild vegetables, you can watch and cook them, anyway, they can be cooked as if they are unpalatable." ”
Meng Zhining looked at him, Lord Wang, even if you don't have any money, don't think about abusing yourself to eat this kind of thing! Why should it be so unpalatable and how to burn? Is this the so-called bittersweet memory?
He didn't speak, Meng Zhining had already made up countless scenes in her heart.
"Don't look at it," he handed it to her, "it's not the king who eats, the king will have a banquet later." ”
Entertaining guests? The corners of Meng Zhining's mouth twitched, and she wouldn't tell her to use these things to invite.
Who's coming back! How sinful this should be.
"Lord Wang, do you think they will come when they see these things?" Come and there will be ghosts.
Yan Xiling pinched her face lightly: "So it's up to you." ”
To put it bluntly, she is still needed.
She broke free from his hand, carried the basket and went to the kitchen, telling all the girls to stop and help her wash the wild vegetables. Open these baskets to see what they are, some people have decent shepherd's cabbage in the book, and some people don't know or can't see clearly, this basket is full of all kinds of grass.
Sure enough, it depends on how she burns it.
The prince gave an order, anyway, if you want to burn it, you can sell it well, and don't worry about anything else.
That's not simple, she has half a pot of water in front of a stove, sprinkle a little salt into it is the first dish, the second is to add salt to it like no money, the third dish is to put sugar, anyway, she made all kinds of dark dishes, either too sour or too salty, not too salty, old books too sweet.
A few baskets of shepherd's cabbage turned her into a plate of dark dishes all at once.
Yan Xiling said that the banquet guests were just inviting all the local tyrants in Zhao Land, and sending invitations to every family. This invitation is a hot potato, and some people are hesitant to receive it, but it is not coming, and it is not very difficult to do it.
Feng Xilai took the invitation and looked at it: "These three princes have a lot of tricks, but what kind of invitation is this invitation?" I heard that the palace has been short of money recently. ”
Qian gently poured him a glass of water and said, "Since you don't want to go, then what's the point?" ”
Feng Xilai put the post aside and said, "Go, naturally you have to go, you can go with me in a while, and see what the palace is like now." ”
Qian saluted, went down to change clothes, Feng Xilai touched the gilded words on the invitation and thought about what to do after a while. A month ago, the prince sent him a letter, and he already knew that the third prince was coming, and the prince also hoped that he could kill Yan Xiling, but where was this matter so easy, and many of the things that the prince promised him were false, and he was completely used as a gun.
This prince has just ascended the throne, which is unpredictable, although someone from the capital has already come to urge him to end this matter quickly, but he decided to wait a few days and go to the banquet first.
