Chapter 690: Inventory of Assets
In the past nearly a year, the wine business has been doing well, because Murong Hui has accumulated a lot of silver.
Adding the rewards in the palace and her share, it is also a lot of income when carefully calculated.
Therefore, Murong Hui was a little curious about how much silver she had.
Mama Huang answered, and took out all of Murong Hui's cash from the treasury, and handed it to Murong Hui with the account book.
"Except for the silver sent by Miss Gao today, which has not yet been recorded in the account, the flow of other silver is clearly remembered, Your Highness, please take a look."
Mama Huang is very solemn, she has always been a very cautious person.
If she hadn't been cheated by her apprentice before, she wouldn't have had so many loopholes.
Murong Hui nodded, then opened the ledger and looked at it carefully.
She found that she had twenty-four thousand three hundred and seventy-four taels of silver, in addition to her silver today.
Four boxes of golden melon seeds, golden peanuts, and goldfish.
1,400 taels of gold, plus 30,000 taels of silver from today's income, she has also saved a lot of money.
"Let's register and make a register, let Mama Lin find it first, don't worry, tell me when there is news."
When Murong Hui went out last time, he had already inquired about it, and if he wanted to buy a shop in a good area of the capital, he would need at least 40,000 taels of silver.
Nowadays, Rongguo's national strength has grown, there are trade exchanges with other countries, and the domestic situation is stable, resulting in housing prices in the capital are still soaring.
If you don't buy it now, I'm afraid it will be more expensive in a few years.
Mama Huang nodded, although she has been in the palace for many years, the news outside the palace is also very well-informed, she naturally knows what Murong Hui means.
"Your Highness, the little one knows a place, that street is newly built, the location is good, and many dignitaries go over there to buy shops."
At this time, the little eunuch on the side suddenly spoke, he was more mouthful on weekdays, and he could chat with many people in the palace, so he was also very well-informed.
"Where?"
Murong Hui also had some understanding of the cloth sentences in the capital, so he asked curiously.
"On the other side of the South Lane, the little one said that you don't beat people, if you open a shop over there, you will definitely make money every day, and the rent will definitely be more expensive than elsewhere."
The little eunuch said vaguely, but as soon as he heard him say Nanxiang, Murong Hui probably understood in his heart.
"It's by the Qingzhou River, I heard that there is an abandoned palace over there, is it difficult to demolish it?"
This palace is still left by the prince of the previous dynasty, and it is said that the prince is very good, so when he went out of the palace to build a mansion, the emperor in power granted him that place to build a mansion.
The area of the palace is extremely large, so that area was once called Wangfu Street.
However, the prince was later demoted to a commoner, so the palace was also abandoned, and now it has become a commercial street, and I think this street was originally developed by the royal family.
"Your Highness is right, it's that place, if Your Highness wants to buy a shop over there, you have to start early, and you won't be able to buy it later."
The little eunuch continued, he didn't have any bad intentions, he just felt that Murong Hui would go out of the palace to build a mansion in the future, and those of them who were originally serving would definitely follow.
If Murong Hui's assets were richer, they would be able to live better, so they instigated Murong Hui to earn more money.
"Go out to work, don't make noise here."
Mama Huang was never very polite to them, especially when the little eunuch was obviously arrogant
。
The little eunuch also knew the truth of the point, and hurriedly saluted respectfully, and hurriedly retired.
"Your Highness, you want to listen to their nonsense, how can you go to a place like the Qingzhou River with your status!"
Mama Huang frowned, only thinking that saying this would dirty Murong Hui's ears.
In Rongguo, many times, the bank of the Qingzhou River is the synonym of the Qinglou, and there are many women who stay here all the year round, such as carp crossing the river.
"It's okay, I don't have to take care of it anyway, it's just to take a look once in a while, let...... Mama Lin took Chu Huaining to talk about it to see if she could buy one, if not, just let it go, let's go elsewhere to pick it, this matter is not in a hurry. ”
Murong Hui felt that that place was very good, if she was a businessman, she would definitely choose there, at least there was a lot of traffic.
"Your Highness, rest early, it's already late at night."
Mama Huang sighed, and secretly scolded the little eunuch in her heart.
Murong Hui nodded, then got up and walked towards the dormitory.
She deliberately went to bed early so that she could wake up early the next morning.
It's rare to have a day off, and it's rare to be able to go out of the palace, but she cherishes such an opportunity.
When she cleaned up and sat in the small living room for breakfast, she saw that Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing had already come over, and both of them were a little excited.
After all, after being trapped in the deep palace for so long, anyone will be happy to be able to go out for a walk.
Murong Hui quickly finished eating, and then hurriedly took the two of them into a sedan chair and rushed towards the outside of the palace.
The three of them met at the gate of the palace with Lord Wanning and others, and hurried towards Xiangguo Temple.
Wanning's two companions are from very ordinary backgrounds, very lively, very sleek and sophisticated, although Gao Ziyue is very arrogant, but in the end she was born in a royal merchant family, so she chatted happily with the two, but did not reveal what happened between them at all.
"Cousin Wanning, I'm going to go somewhere later, I won't stay too long, just say a few words and leave."
Murong Hui approached the county lord of Wanning and handed her the dim sum she brought over to eat together.
Wan Ning took a bite of the dim sum, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a blessing to go out of the palace with you, even the chefs in the imperial dining room don't have such good skills." For the sake of snacks, we will accompany you wherever you want to go today. ”
"Thank you, cousin."
Murong Hui smiled and thanked him, and then sat on the side and carefully looked through the gap in the window to look at the street scene outside.
At this time, there are many people on the street, and it is very lively.
It's a person with a temperament like Murong Hui, who wants to go down and walk, let alone Gao Ziyue.
It's a pity that Mama Huang will never let them go down, so a few people have to suppress the curiosity in their hearts and look outside through the crack in the window.
After a full hour, the number of people outside gradually decreased, and it was not until there was not half a figure on the road that the grandmother allowed them to lift the curtain of the sedan chair and look at the outside environment.
At this time, they had already left the city, and there were endless fields around them except for the mountains, and those who did not often go out of the city looked at it as a novelty.
Murong Hui looked at the scenery outside, and was also a little surprised, it was only a dozen days, the snow outside had almost melted, and tender green grass had grown on some grounds, this cold winter had passed after all.
"A few people will be patient for a while, and in another two quarters of an hour, they will arrive at Xiangguo Temple."
At this time, Mama Huang leaned over and said with a smile.
She's in a good mood now,
Just now she told Mama Lin that Murong Hui wanted to buy a shop, and Mama Lin immediately mentioned that she had already inquired about the situation on the other side of the Qingzhou River.
It was targeted early in the morning, but in just a few days, all the shops had been sold.
Murong Hui knew too late to buy it, but she inquired about another one.
Seeing that Murong Hui had to give up and buy a shop near the Qinglou, Mama Huang hung a stone in her heart and finally fell to the ground.
However, Mama Lin deliberately found another place, this shop is located in the north and faces south, it is very spacious, and it is also quite good, so Murong Hui directly gave Mama Lin silver and asked her to buy the shop.
This time things went smoothly, Mama Huang was naturally in a good mood, and she was very attentive along the way, which made Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing on the side dumbfounded.
"Isn't this Mama Huang notoriously harsh?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao, the companion of the county lord of Wanning, whispered to Gao Ziyue and asked.
It's a pity that her voice was too loud and was heard by Mama Huang.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly avoided her gaze, but she still inevitably got a roll of the eyes of Mama Huang.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and everyone got out of the car, and Mama Huang immediately hired a sedan chair driver and insisted that Murong Hui sit in a sedan chair.
Thinking of Lin Yingxue's instructions, although Murong Hui was reluctant, she still obediently got into the sedan chair in the end.
Seeing this, the county lord of Wanning simply hired a sedan chair and walked forward side by side with Murong Hui.
The others followed and walked quietly, as if a group of people were following two masters.
Usually, Murong Hui didn't feel anything, but now she felt quite uncomfortable, but when she saw that the county lord of Wanning was accustomed to it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hui'er doesn't have to feel awkward, we are from the royal family, such things are inevitable, many times I think you don't look like a golden bottle, and it may not be a good thing to be too approachable and injured."
Wan Ning looked at Murong Hui calmly, but these words seemed to guess her heart.
"Why did my cousin say that?"
Murong Hui looked at the county lord of Wanning suspiciously, she felt that Wanning was weaker than her many times, and what she said was not the same as her usual behavior, but more like a pointer.
"If I'm not mistaken, Chu Huaining is in that shop, right? It's my grandmother who is confused, you really shouldn't be wading into this muddy water. ”
The county lord of Wanning had a worried face, and she looked at Murong Hui with a little sympathy in her expression.
Murong Hui looked at her with a confused expression, not knowing what she meant.
"Isn't she the grandson of Old Concubine Jing?"
Murong Hui was very puzzled, it stands to reason that Wan Ning and Chu Huai Ning are cousins, so there should be some affection, but now it seems that the county lord of Wan Ning just sees Chu Huaining as a trouble.
"Grandmother had a lot of friends when she was alive, have you ever thought about why she didn't entrust Chu Huaining to someone else, but to you, a child who is only less than ten years old?"
Wan Ning saw that Murong Hui was still confused, and couldn't help but remind.
"Because I'm a princess, because I'm the emperor and queen have to be loved, right?"
Murong Hui thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the most reliable reason, and she couldn't think of anything else.
"Yes, the Chu family should not have destroyed the Nine Clans, but Grandmother protected Chu Huaining and asked you to take care of him, but I hope that the emperor and queen will see your affection and let him go."
What the county lord of Wanning said bluntly was that Murong Hui heard it, and she felt that Old Concubine Jing was really heartbroken for Chu Huaining.
