Chapter 121: Mismatch & Lack of Support
Following.
In the Xianxian Courtyard, Li Xiang found something interesting from a bunch of gifts specially sent to her.
For example, the pair of night pearls in her hand are the size of a baby's fist.
Another example is the three-foot-long jade Ruyi in front of her, the water color is rare, and it is a whole piece of jasper jade without impurities.
And the pair of red agate jade bracelets, the color is not as dark as the ordinary agate stone, but just like the red glow, bright and open, the key is that there is an extremely obvious red line in the middle.
Halfway through the startled registration, he couldn't sit still, so he invited Li Xiang from the main house.
Indeed, these people are simply too rich. Wealthy enough that the possibility of them doing business is almost non-existent!
Li Xiang looked at the gift that he didn't dare to accept in shock, and was a little embarrassed, no wonder her brother insisted that they spit out the money after they made money from the Xiyuan epidemic.
"This night pearl, we already have a pair, it seems to be about the same size as this one, right?"
Stunned nodded, "Our pair of night pearls that are about the same size were saved by Xiangye when he was still working as a waiter in the palace, and it is almost exactly the same as this one." ”
"This jade Ruyi, is there one in my sister-in-law?"
"That's a dowry for Xu Hou's Mansion, and it was married to our mansion. The earliest, it seems that Empress Li got a gift from the East Palace before entering the palace. ”
"This bracelet ......"
"The red core jade agate was a tribute from Fanbang a long time ago, and there were three pairs at that time, one pair was given to the queen mother who was still the queen at the time, one pair was given to the favorite concubine at that time, and one pair was given to the princess of the East Palace at that time. Later, I heard that when the eldest princess was born, the queen mother gave her pair to the eldest princess. The queen's pair was given to the ninth princess. ”
Li Xiang let out a long breath, "Where did this thing come from?" They can't get their money clean......"
The things that the royal family used as a reward, now, a few squires in this place in Nishihara can casually take it as a congratulatory gift, and no matter how rich Nishihara is, it is impossible to reach this point. You know, there are some things that ordinary people can't buy, not to mention, some of these things are not circulating on the market at all, they come from the palace at a glance, no matter how tossing and turning, where is the price of this thing, how rich do you have to be to spend a lot of money, and give this thing away casually? Also sent to the Xiangqi Palace?
Li Xiang thought that now that a squire official in Xiyuan had not hacked Murong Jin to death with a knife, in addition to not being able to beat him, there was probably only the possibility of not wanting to die, giving him a gift to the house, and giving this, it would be good if he didn't send a set of poisoned tea sets, how could it be!
"The night pearl was given by the one who did the flower building business, the jade Ruyi was sent by the one who did the spice business, and the bracelet was sent by the one who did the embroidery business." Stunned didn't remember much about the names of those people, but the presence of these things was enough for her to remember.
Chunyu stood aside and said, "These three families have a lot of business dealings, and when the family members have a good relationship with each other, they sat together when they came to eat and drink yesterday." ”
“…… Put things away first. Li Xiang didn't want to say anything, these three families are not special, but this gift is really unusual, "What other strange things?" ”
Shocked to open a few boxes, "The Ma family's white jade poison-avoiding chopsticks, the Cai family's nine-headed unicorn lock, and the Mu family's agate nine-chain ......"
"All of them are not cheap, but these are particularly eye-catching, of course, the most mismatched with the person who gave the gift is these three, especially this jade Ruyi."
Of course it doesn't match, hundreds of years ago, the prince could give it to the princess who had not passed through the door as a gift, and the other one is similar to the one that is now in the hands of a merchant who is engaged in the spice business, and he also gives it away casually.
Li Xiang remembered the cold Ye shopkeeper he saw that day, and he couldn't figure out how this person got this thing. Genuine products in their house, this thing is either the original imitation, or the jade Ruyi is actually a pair, but the key to the former imitation may not be that the jade is rare, the key is to see the real one, although the jade Ruyi is almost the same, but look at how their family got this thing to know that this jade Ruyi is absolutely different from the market, but the problem with the latter is that the other hundreds of years ago in the hands of the prince, how did this fall into the hands of a businessman?
"Tell the prince what he said, and by the way, take these things that have been registered." Li Xiang waved his hand, didn't want to look at it anymore, turned his head back, and by the way recalled the things she got from others that day, thinking about it, I felt that my face was hot, compared to the two, those were simply worthless.
The sting and the spring rain looked at each other, stuffed their heads and put things together, and then went again.
After returning to the main house, before Li Xiang sat down, he heard outside that the two side concubines were coming, and they were indeed here, and they came with Wang Fu with several thick account books.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiang saw Wang Fu holding the account book behind Fucha Wenyin and Wu Shiyu, and then remembered that it was the third day of September today, and she hadn't finished reading last month's account.
Suddenly, his head was as big as a fight, and before he could speak, he heard Fucha Wenyin say: "Princess Niangniang, this is the general account of the purchase of the epidemic in the West for the past three months, this is the expenditure of the palace, this is the ......"
Li Xiang reached out and took a copy, and was stunned as soon as he opened it.
Millions of flows, according to this algorithm, it is impossible for the silver deposit of the Xiangqi Wangfu to support half a month, and wait until the disaster relief funds are allocated, so where did the money come from at the beginning?
Murong Jin's private account is still here with Li Xiang, and if he counts those, it is impossible to support the disaster relief funds, even if he takes it directly from the money village instead of escorting it, it is impossible.
quickly finished flipping through the book, Li Xiang didn't speak, and casually asked people to sit down.
Fucha Wenyin and Wu Shiyu checked her accounts, she was relieved, one was the originally selected concubine, and the other was a noble girl who was obsessed with poetry and books, they still couldn't find out, and it was estimated that few people could find out.
"There doesn't seem to be any problem with these accounts, our own accounts are not difficult to calculate, but Xiyuan's accounts are more difficult to remember, you have calculated very well, hard work." Li Xiang raised her hand to pour tea, but was picked up by Fucha Wenyin, she didn't let go, and insisted on pouring tea for them with her own hands.
Wang Fu still couldn't accept this kind of praise, and he looked flattered, but the two side concubines were similar.
"There are a lot of things in the palace, and in a few days everyone else will arrive in Xiyuan one after another, and there will only be more things, so there will be a few more people to continue to work in the future."
