Chapter 150: Turnip and Gao Shiqi have a private meeting in the garden
Su Ruanmei flipped through the account books and saw that there were some trivial things written down on them, but the money was spent lavishly.
"Mr. Ma, why is it so expensive to buy an egg, it costs one or two silver to divide ten eggs."
Su Ruanmei asked curiously, and Mr. Ma replied.
"Miss Su, don't you know, this egg is not an ordinary egg, but a ginseng black egg sold from the ranch of the general of Zhenguo, it is said that his chickens are only fed wild ginseng every day, and the eggs laid out are also the best among the eggs, one or two silver to buy ten or give my prince a five-fold discount, in exchange for someone else, I can't buy it if I want to."
After Mr. Ma finished speaking, Su Ruanmei was speechless.
"Then His Royal Highness King Zheng likes to eat eggs."
In response to Su Ruanmei's question, Mr. Ma twisted his beard, looking a little embarrassed.
"In the future, let's buy ordinary eggs, and replace these ingredients with ordinary ingredients."
As soon as Su Ruanmei's voice fell, Mr. Ma was displeased.
"Miss Su, you can't be the master of this, or you should ask the prince what he means first."
Mr. Ma said tentatively, and Su Ruanmei closed the account book and said very seriously.
"When I see the prince, I will explain to him, by the way, Mr. Ma, are you the only one in this accounting room?"
When Su Ruanmei said this, Mr. Ma nodded slightly.
"The reason why the prince hired him is because he likes the talent of the lower, and the management of accounts is of course the fewer people, the better."
Su Ruanmei was muttering when she heard this, sure enough, it was the concept of a small door and a small household, and it was not on the table at all.
"Mr. Ma, don't you mind if I take some ledgers and go back and study them slowly."
For Su Ruanmei's request, Mr. Ma was not easy to refuse, but he said a lot of complaints.
Su Ruanmei returned to the West Chamber with a bunch of account books, and when Wujing saw that Su Ruanmei was so serious, it was not good to go up and disturb it.
Su Ruanmei felt a little dizzy after reading the account books for a day, and Turnip came to Su Ruanmei's room with a bowl of somen noodles, and Su Ruanmei also turned a deaf ear.
"Sister Su, you better rest and eat something."
Turnip put the plain noodles in front of Su Ruanmei, and Su Ruanmei put down the brush.
"It's a turnip, you're just in time, help me see how this plan for opening up sources and reducing expenditure is."
Su Ruanmei handed a booklet into the hands of the turnip, and then picked up the somen noodles and ate them, but she didn't expect that there was a poached egg under the somen noodles.
Turnip nodded slightly after reading the case, but didn't react too much.
"What's wrong, is there something wrong?"
Su Ruanmei put down the plain noodles and asked curiously.
Turnip smiled and took Su Ruanmei's hand.
"Sister Su, you can save so much money for the prince, which is of course a good thing, but some money should be spent or has to be spent, like this ginseng egg, the prince obviously doesn't like to eat but still wants to buy it, what is involved behind this is not the sophistication of human feelings."
As soon as Turnip said this, Su Ruanmei seemed to understand something.
"As the so-called exchange of courtesies, doesn't the prince have anything to sell to those powerful and wealthy households?"
When Su Ruanmei said this, Turnip looked at the teapot.
"Why did I forget this, but the income of tea is not much."
In response to Su Ruanmei's question, Turnip continued.
"After all, the prince is the prince, his identity and face are all there, how can he do those lowly businesses."
Su Ruanmei nodded slightly after listening to Turnip's words.
Su Ruanmei thought for a moment, picked up the booklet and tore it to shreds.
"Sister Su, what are you doing?"
Regarding the doubts of turnips, Su Ruanmei said with a smile.
"The prince can't do lowly business, you reminded me of this turnip."
Turnip listened to Su Ruanmei's answer and still looked confused, while Su Ruanmei picked up the plain noodles and ate them.
Su Ruanmei was a little sleepy after eating the noodles, after Turnip served Su Softsister to sleep, she came out of the West Chamber with a bowl, when she walked to the front yard, a person came out from behind the pillars of the corridor, Turnip was frightened by this person, and the bowl and chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground again, and this person was none other than King Zheng's advisor Gao Shiqi.
Gao Shiqi hugged the thin waist of the turnip and kissed her neck again.
"You damn me, you scared me to death."
Turnip slapped Gao Shiqi's stomach with her elbow, and Gao Shiqi took two steps back.
"You dare to come to Yunxiu Villa secretly, so you are not afraid of being discovered and making the prince suspicious."
Turnip said and leaned down to pick up the broken bowl on the floor.
Gao Shiqi picked his bangs with a fan, and said nonchalantly
"I was born and died for His Royal Highness King Zheng, what's the big deal if I like him as a maid, if His Royal Highness King Zheng doesn't even have this amount of tolerance, then it's really Gao and the wrong person."
When Gao Shiqi said this, the turnip was accidentally cut by the broken bowl.
Gao Shiqi saw that the turnip was so careless, and immediately pinched her finger again and sucked it in distress.
"Look at you careless girl."
The turnip was kissed by Gao Shiqi like this, and the whole person became soft again.
"You dead ghost, I'm not His Royal Highness King Zheng...... Ordinary maids. ”
After speaking, Turnip pulled her fingers out of Gao Shiqi's mouth.
Gao Shiqi saw that Turnip bit his lip, so he stroked her cheek again.
"I just like the way you want to resist and welcome."
Gao Shiqi kicked away the dishes and chopsticks at his feet as he spoke, and then took the turnip in his arms, and the turnip did not struggle or make noise, and the two walked towards an empty guest room again.
Su Ruanmei pulled the bamboo leaf, and bumped into this turnip and Gao Shiqi cheating, originally she just wanted to come out to breathe, but now her chest is even more panicked.
Su Ruanmei sat on the railing of the corridor nearby, staring blankly at the crescent moon in the sky, she originally thought that as long as she treated the people around her sincerely, she could get their trust and love, but in fact all this was just her own wishful thinking, no one would really care about her feelings, and no one would really take her to heart.
"Miss Su, why are you sitting here?"
As soon as Su Ruanmei inadvertently turned around, she saw Aunt Zhao passing through the corridor with two maids.
Su Ruanmei stood up, and Aunt Zhao and the two maids made another blessing for Su Ruanmei.
"It's cold at night in the mountains, and you'll catch a cold if you sit here."
Regarding Aunt Zhao's concern, Su Ruanmei nodded in acknowledgment.
"I can't sleep alone in my room, so I just go out for a walk."
Aunt Zhao saw that Su Ruanmei was a little unhappy, so she took her hand and invited her to her room to sit down.
Aunt Zhao asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to get some snacks and tea, while she accompanied Su Ruanmei to sit down in her room.
"Miss Su, don't blame His Royal Highness King Zheng for not coming to see you, I think he has a busy day, this Royal Highness is very serious when he is young, the first emperor once praised him for his beautiful handwriting, he just locked himself in the room, wrote words for a day and a night, causing me and Concubine Yang to look for him all over the palace, when we found him, he stood in front of the bookcase like a nobody, and Concubine Yang was so angry that she cried." 166 Reading Network
