Yu Fuquan hurriedly stood up and followed Yu Mengshuang.

Although he is a habitual idleman, he is the only male in the Yu family, so Yu Mengshuang begged Song Liangchen to give him a way to live a long time ago. He couldn't do his job, so he opened a shop selling pork and vegetables, which was specially supplied to the Shizi Mansion.

To put it bluntly, that is, the Shizifu is feeding him, because the meat and vegetables in his store are not as fresh as those of other families, but they are more expensive, and ordinary people will not buy them, so only Song Liangchen is the one who is wronged.

However, when encountering a miser like Shen Meijing, this money is naturally unwilling to be given to people for nothing.

Yu stepped into the Acacia Garden, and the beautiful scenery was drinking tea.

"The princess is so idle." Yu Mengshuang smiled slightly and curtsied: "The concubine came to greet her." ”

Knowing that she would come, Meijing unhurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair next to her: "Please take a seat." ”

Yu Mengshuang responded, and Yu Fuquan, who was behind him, looked at Shen Meijing several times with his eyelids and pouted.

"The concubine came today to ask the princess about the purchase." Yu Shi said: "Buying goods in the Fuquan store is something that the prince agreed to at the beginning. The princess has no opinion on managing the backyard concubine, but she suddenly changed the supplier, and on this point, the concubine wanted to ask the princess for an explanation. ”

"The goods on weekdays are all imported from the store of the man behind you?" Meijing asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Yu Fuquan came up and said: "Below is Master Yu's nephew, and the usual goods are imported from my store." ”

"That's going to be easy." Shen Meijing took the account book and came out: "I was about to ask, the market price of this pork is sixty wen a catty, and the market price of green vegetables is three wen a catty, why did you buy it from your store, and all of them have increased tenfold?" ”

Yu Fuquan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked left and right: "This price has always been like this, everyone knows it." ”

"Oh?" Shen Meijing smiled: "Why? Is your pork ten times better than others? ”

Yu Fuquan pouted and said: "Pork is not pork, and other families are not relatives of Shizifu, as the saying goes, fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields..."

"So you feel that you are in a good situation, anyway, the prince of the world is wronged, right?" Meijing chuckled lightly and handed the account book to Yu Mengshuang: "Yu's you can see for yourself, the last column is the expenses I bought elsewhere today, and the expenses in front of me are all purchased at this relative's house." ”

Yu Shi was stunned, took the account book and was startled: "Who wrote the last few lines?" ”

Shen Meijing pointed to herself: "I must have come personally to keep accounts." ”

Yu Mengshuang raised her head and glanced at her in surprise: "The princess... Studied calligraphy? ”

"Well, barely learned." Shen Meijing said: "But that's not the point, you better look at the number above." ”

The contempt in his heart was all put away after seeing the italics on the account book, Yu Mengshuang straightened her face, sat up straight, and began to read the content seriously.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw her: "How can there be so many?" The kitchen costs five taels of silver a day? ”

"Fourth aunt, what are you surprised about?" Yu Fuquan said: "There are so many people in the house, isn't it normal for vegetables and meat to be expensive?" ”

Yu Mengshuang frowned and glanced at him, wanting to ask him if he had hacked a lot of money, and because the princess was not able to speak, she could only continue to turn over the account book silently.

The comparison between the words in the front and the back is far behind!

Shen Meijing took a sip of tea and said very calmly: "Although the prince's mansion is prosperous and rich, and the use is relaxed, it is not without feelings for silver. Five taels of silver, put outside, you can buy more than 800 catties of pork and more than 600 catties of vegetables. No matter how many people there are in the house, they only eat 50 catties of meat and 60 catties of vegetables every day. I've also been to the kitchen, and there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are all very ordinary meat dishes, so tell me, where does the extra money go? ”

"You can't do that!" Yu Fuquan was anxious: "My family's meat and vegetables, every day I work hard early in the morning to buy and then sell them, do you know how hard it is to get up early regardless of cold or summer?" ”

"Well, it's hard." Shen Meijing nodded: "However, the meat and vegetables are not fresh, what's the use of your hard work?" ”

There are always people who like to complain about how hard they work and how hard they work, but what does it matter to others, others only look at the results, will the process sound moving? It's not your mother! I am working in the wrong direction, do you blame others for not being sympathetic?

Yu Fuquan's face turned blue, and he pulled the corner of Yu Mengshuang's clothes vigorously: "Fourth aunt, you can help me talk." ”

"What do you want me to say?" Yu Mengshuang said angrily: "Who made you so greedy?" ”

"I ......" Yu Fuquan frowned: "Don't I have to live too?" How can you live without spending money, anyway, the prince has a lot of money......"

"More money is not for you." Shen Meijing's face sank a little: "I'm going to take this account book to the Yamen and sue you for defrauding the Shizi Mansion, the money that has been embezzled for so many years, not to mention a few hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid it should be locked up for decades!" ”

Yu Fuquan was stunned for a moment, and then panicked: "How can this be considered fraud?" The prince agreed. ”

"Does the prince agree that you sell things to the Shizifu at such a high price, or only agree to you sell things to the Shizifu?" Shen Jingjing said: "You have a clear score for this." ”

Yu Fuquan gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Mengshuang anxiously.

Yu Shi frowned and said: "Since Fuquan did something wrong, then the concubine apologizes for him, and there is no need to buy goods from him in the future." But this ledger ...... Can the princess be more tolerant? After all, the Yu family's generation is such a man. ”

Shen Meijing shook her head in embarrassment: "This ......"

"The princess." Yu Shi gritted his teeth and looked at her, and his tone softened: "I offended you before, because the concubine was too cautious, and I will make a compensatory to you here, the pearl you gave the concubine last time, and the concubine body will also be returned to you, I just ask you not to worry about him." ”

She actually didn't plan to care, she just scared and scared people, but Yu Mengshuang directly returned the beads to her? Meijing's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile: "Since you have said so, then I can't embarrass you anymore, just forget about this matter, and I will arrange the purchase in the future." ”

Yu Fuquan's brows tightened, and he wanted to say more, but he was afraid that Shen Meijing would tell him seriously, so he had to shut up depressedly.

"Yes." Yu Mengshuang bowed her head and couldn't help but look at the room: "Does the princess have any other calligraphy works?" ”

"Works?" Shen Meijing shook her head: "How can I have the leisure to write." ”

She used to be busy eating, but now she is busy eating, calligraphy, which she writes in a hurry, she has ignored it for a long time, except for bookkeeping, only the last deed of sale was written in Braille.

This Yu's attitude today is exceptionally good, could it be that she has taken a fancy to her words?

"Is the princess free now?" Yu Mengshuang's eyes shone brightly and said: "There is a good pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the concubine's body, can you write a word to the concubine's body?" ”

"I don't have time, and I have to arrange for the minions to clean the courtyard and clean the pond." Shen Meijing spread her hands in embarrassment: "There are too many things to do, and I can't be busy at all." ”

"It's okay, the concubine can help you." Yu hurriedly said: "These chores, the concubine will also arrange, you go back to write with the concubine, and the concubine will help you deal with all these chores." ”

It's a good deal! Meijing immediately nodded: "Deal!" ”

Yu Fuquan watched from the side, this is called a gas, call the fourth aunt to support herself, I didn't expect her to focus on what calligraphy she was all about? If he loses the business of this world's mansion, how will he live in the future?

Yu Mengshuang completely forgot about Yu Fuquan behind her, and walked to the inkstone pond with the beautiful scenery.

The inkstone pond is the residence of the Yu family, a two-storey embroidery building near a small pond, because she loves calligraphy and ink, so she named the inkstone pond. Meijing followed her and found that the residences in this Shizi's mansion were quite chic, and the names of the inkstone ponds around Liang Xuan were quite interesting.

"The princess, please." Yu Shi entered the room, asked her to sit down first, and then went to bring the box of Pudong pearls she gave her last time: "This will be returned to you first." ”

"Okay." Meijing smiled and reached out to take it, and opened it without hesitation. The bright beads are still so valuable, she likes them!

Yu laid out the paper with his own hands, sharpened the ink for her, and asked with a smile: "What font is the princess best at?" ”
