Chapter 46: Fat and Slippery It's All Oil!
It turned out that he teased her for a long time, trying to make her let her down her guard and then steal her small coffers? Fortunately, she was witty and stunned people first! If her box is gone, she's going to have to fight with someone!
Meijing hugged the makeup box hard, gritted her teeth, buried it a little deeper in the cabinet, piled up the clothes, and locked the cabinet doors together.
Going out with peace of mind, the three women were still sitting in the house waiting for her.
"What is the princess doing in such a hurry?" Wen Erya asked with a smile.
Meijing said solemnly: "Check if there are any belongings missing." ”
"Didn't the princess say that there was no movement here last night? What are you afraid of losing your belongings? Yu Shi glanced at her up and down, pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you prevaricate the concubine with words?" ”
"You don't have to think about it." Meijing smiled: "I'm just used to being careful, after all, money is hard to come by." ”
"Speaking of money." Yu Mengshuang frowned: "My extra five taels of silver haven't been sent out this month." ”
Ning Chun'er looked at Shen Meijing: "My silver hasn't been sent down, and some rare inks are almost exhausted." ”
Meijing patted her head and said with a smile: "It turns out that I haven't sent this yet, Jinyi, you went to the account room to withdraw it, and it was just given." ”
"Yes." The brocade collar went to the order.
Wen Erya said: "In the past, the bookkeeper was always so busy that he only had the account book in his eyes, but now that the princess has taken over, the concubine is really rare to be idle, and she just went to buy two pianos." ”
Shen Meijing listened, and couldn't help but feel pain for Song Liangchen, why are these women so good at spending money one by one?
"I bought it and reimbursed it."
"Okay." Wen Erya bowed her head and couldn't help but remind: "The upper limit of the monthly consumption in the house is five hundred taels, and the princess is in charge of the accounts for the first time, so don't go too far." ”
Is five hundred taels actually the upper limit? Meijing frowned, just the purchase and consumption of these two days, it seems that there are more than thirty taels, what she is particularly curious about now is, how to use the two hundred taels a month for Wen Erya?
When the people who asked for peace were gone, Shen Meijing came out of the account book and looked at it carefully.
Kitchen purchase, five taels of silver a day, she can understand, after all, there are many people in the house, although I faintly feel that it is expensive, but there is nothing to say, the meal is big. However, the clothes, materials, and jewelry that came into each room and courtyard could exceed twenty taels at a time! Coupled with the two five taels of silver issued today, as well as the piano that Wen Erya wants to buy, it is estimated that it will cost dozens of taels of silver.
If this goes on like this until the end of the month, the expenses will definitely be more than five hundred taels, and Song Liangchen will definitely think that she has swallowed the silver taels privately! The sky has eyes, she can't take more than half a penny!
Yes, it's not that you didn't take more, but you didn't take more!
Holding the account book, Meijing learned from the pain, and finally stood up and said: "Yushi, let's go out of the house and have a look!" ”
"What does the master want to see?" Jade Esophage: "When you go out, you have to arrange a guard of honor." ”
"Don't be that troublesome." Meijing waved her hand and said: "Let's go and buy a little girl, look around at the price of things, and go out in the clothes of a maid." ”
Yushi frowned: "Master, you don't need to do such a lowly thing." ”
"Anyway, I'm idle, it's good to know more." Shen Meijing said: "It's better than being blindfolded." ”
"Yes." Yushi nodded, paused, and turned around to go out to prepare.
Those who manage wealth, if they do not manage it well, will become poor. Only those who know how to manage can take other people's wealth and make themselves richer!
Shen Meijing was wrapped in a floral cloth headscarf, half-covering her face, wearing a coarse cloth clothes that did not have the characteristics of the Shizi Mansion.
"When the goods are purchased from the house, there are designated places, and they are all written on the list." Jin Yi said: "Generally, the merchants who supply the Shizi Mansion will have a slightly cheaper price. ”
Meijing nodded and picked the nearest cloth village: "I have been to this shop, and yesterday Steward Song also bought eight horses of auspicious cloud silk from here, which was written in the account book." ”
"Hmm." Jinyi nodded: "This cloth village has always been cheap and of good quality." ”
Is it cheap? She remembered that the ledger was written with eight pieces of silk and eight taels of silver. A tael of silver and a piece of silk, where is it cheap!
Walking into this familiar cloth village, the shopkeeper still looked polite: "What do you two want?" ”
Meijing pointed to the auspicious cloud silk on the shelf: "How much is that horse?" ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to take off the silk, carefully placed it in front of them, and said, "Five coins of silver, this is a newly arrived goods, the pattern is good, and the color is also bright, suitable for making new clothes for nobles." ”
Five coins of silver! Shen Meijing gasped, a brocade is only five yuan, and eight horses are only four taels, who came to buy the silk satin, and can eat four taels of silver in one trip?!
I knew that there was such a good thing, what kind of princess should she be! Isn't it much richer to be a buyer?
Jinyi's face was a little solemn, and he stepped forward and said, "If the Shizi Mansion wants to buy it, can the shopkeeper be cheaper?" ”
"Shizifu?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the two of them: "Yesterday, the people from the Shizi Mansion came to buy it, and the eight horses of silk and satin are three taels and eight dollars of silver, and they can't be less, we have a meager profit here, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”
Jin Yi turned around, and obviously saw that his master's eyes were deeper.
Leaving Buzhuang, Shen Meijing went straight to the pork shop, the vegetable market, and finally went to the ink and wash pavilion that sold paper and pen inkstones. After a trip, the two stood on the street, and Jinyi heard his master say: "Jinyi, I was wrong, is it too late to go back and be a buying maid now?" ”
Jinyi shook her head with a smile: "It's the first time that the slave knows that there are so many ways to buy something. A lot of things in the house have been contracted, and most of those merchants have something to do with the owners in the backyard, and the prince has always turned a blind eye. ”
As a result, the prices are not only not low, but also a lot higher. Half a tael of silver is quoted for one tael, and a dish of three cents can be said to be ten cents, it is really a fool to be a person in the prince's house, and there is a lot of money! Meijing hates this so much that it's an itchy tooth, although it's not her money, but being cheated like this is like digging her flesh, I can't bear it!
"Let's go, let's go to the piano shop again." Meijing stepped forward angrily, and there was no way to recover what had been lost, but she couldn't continue to be the wronged leader!
At the mouth of the alley, Song Liangye, who was half-open, yawned, looked at the two people walking outside, smashed his mouth and said, "You take the maid who showed her face, and give me the masked one." ”
"Yes." A few people next to him gave up and scattered one after another, hiding around.
The two people walking on the street didn't notice the danger at all, and Jingjing said angrily as she walked: "Bitter gourd is such an unpalatable dish, and even told me ten cents a catty, am I stupid!" ”
Jin Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "Master, although bitter gourd is bitter, it is also a good summer ...... to clear heat."
Before the word was spoken, his mouth was covered. Jinyi was stunned for a moment, only to feel a pain in the back of his neck, and the whole world was spinning.
