King Qian originally had no idea that Xia Jing would come to serve him, so he asked Anu to test it, but he didn't expect this woman to really take him seriously.

He wanted to go to this woman to settle accounts, but remembering the Jingzhou cavalry following the team, he had to put this thought down.

There is no need to show the conflict between husband and wife in front of outsiders, it will only provoke the ridicule of outsiders, King Qian thinks that he can't afford to lose this person!

Seeing King Qian's face begging and hesitating, Anu couldn't help but speak cautiously, "Lord Wang, do you want the old slave to come and wait for you and press it for you?" ”

King Qian waved his hand quite disgusted, "Your hands are too rough, how can you compare to the softness and delicacy of a woman's hands, your rough hands are pressed back and forth on this king, you are not embarrassed, this king is embarrassed." ”

Anu looked down in embarrassment and took a closer look at his hands, who had waited for his master for many years, and had never done rough work, and the only thing that was considered rough work was probably martial arts.

It's not too rough, is it?

"And who do you want to wait?"

"Who does this king want to serve, can you invite him?"

Anu was silent, the princess was not a slave in the house, she didn't want to come, he really had no choice.

"This time I passed by Yuzhou City, and the slaves and maids in the other courtyard were all brought, or would the old slave go and find one to come and wait for you?"

King Qian gave him a cold look, and didn't say yes or no.

Anu, who had been waiting on him for decades, knew that this was a tacit acquiescence.

Anu bowed his head and withdrew from the king's car with a smile, preparing to go to the back carriage to select a few clever maids to come and wait for King Qian.

When resting on the side of the road at noon, Xia Jing asked people to find Zeng Yan.

Zeng Yan rode to the carriage, jumped off the horse, and bowed to the carriage, "I don't know if the princess has something to tell the little one to come over?" ”

Xia Jing walked out of the carriage and asked with a smile, "Butler, are the account books of the entire palace all with you?" ”

When Zeng Yan heard this, he shuddered coldly, "Princess Wang, why are you asking this?" ”

Xia Jing seemed to be in a good mood, and chuckled: "You don't care what the concubine is going to do, I'll just ask you and answer." ”

"Yes, it's me, except for the account books of the inner house, all the outer courtyard is here." Zeng Yan had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, he heard the last thing he wanted to hear, and the princess asked him to bring the ledger over for her to see.

Let's see if there is a going back?

Don't look at it and become her property.

Just like the last time in the Yuzhou Mansion Palace, it was not to see the harvest, and in the end, all the silver tickets went into the princess's pocket.

"Don't be stunned, go housekeeper!"

Hongmei looked at the housekeeper with a loveless appearance, and left in a daze.

The little girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Princess, why did you suddenly remember to check the account books in the outer courtyard?" ”

"I'm a person, I have no food in my hands, and I have no confidence in my heart." Xia Jing opened her mouth and said honestly, "It's too boring to be in a hurry all the time, your princess and I have to find something to do for myself, check the account books, and learn about the property and financial situation of the palace, it is very necessary!"

For her words, Hongmei is a disbeliever, the princess never asked about the outer courtyard before, and besides, the family and the royal family, whose inner courtyard is in charge of the outer court?

This is tantamount to the housewife snatching the power of the family in the hands of the man in charge!

Zeng Yan was extremely embarrassed about this matter, and went to Wang Jia to tell King Qian about it.

King Qian raised his head in surprise and stared at Zeng Yan, "You just said that the princess wants to see the account books of the outer courtyard?" ”

The anger came at him overwhelmingly, Zeng Yan knelt on the ground and lowered his head, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it with cold sweat on his forehead.

Faced with King Qian's questioning, he replied stubbornly: "Back to the prince, yes." ”

King Qian slapped his palm on the table with a hard hand, "Her Xia clan just wants to turn the sky upside down!" ”

"Lord Wang, stop your anger!" Mr. Zhang came back from his stunned state, and hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Don't be impatient." ”

"Sir, don't persuade this king, listen, this is what she should say as a woman in the inner house, and the internal affairs of the outer courtyard are the places where her inner relatives can interfere?" The more King Qian spoke, the more angry he became, and he was simply angry.

Mr. Zhang was good-natured and reassured, "The princess only said to look at the account book, and didn't say anything else." ”

"She almost said that she was going to take care of the housekeeping in the front yard!" King Qian scratched his head in annoyance, and said to himself: "Could it be that this king has been too tolerant of her recently, giving her the illusion that she is the old lady of the palace?" Want to do a word in the palace? ”

Mr. Zhang shook his head helplessly: "No." ”

"Sir, don't speak for her, she is a person who has died once, and the nailed coffin can climb out, such a ruthless person, why is it impossible to manage the palace?"

Mr. Zhang was not shocked or angry, and stroked his beard with a calm face, "Lord Wang, since you fled the capital, you shouldn't have read the account book, right?" ”

King Qian's anger froze for a while, and he said with a puzzled face: "Yes, what's so important here?" ”

After that, he didn't wait for Mr. Zhang's answer, and turned to Zeng Yan: "There is a problem with the accounts?" ”

Since he was a child, as a child of the royal family, he has never worried about money, besides, he has no big ambitions and no expensive expenses. So the money in the house is enough for him to spend for several lifetimes.

At first glance today, it seems that there is something wrong with the accounts of the house.

Zeng Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter face: "There is no problem with the accounts, but there is not much cash in the accounts at present." ”

Most of the industries of the royal palace are in the Gyeonggi area, and the granges and shops are basically in Gyeonggi, and now that Gyeonggi has been occupied by Beidi, these industries are equivalent to being given to Beidi for nothing.

Of course, the palace is definitely not only in Gyeonggi, for example, there are granges and shops in Yuzhou, but there are not many of them, and it is impossible for the profits of these granges and shops to feed the entire palace in troubled times.

Fortunately, there are still a few minerals in the palace, which can alleviate the constraints of the palace.

After Zeng Yan's explanation, King Qian suddenly slapped his forehead, and he ignored this.

"Sir wants to put this mess in the hands of the Xia family? According to King Ben's understanding of the Xia family, she can't afford to shoulder this heavy responsibility. ”

Mr. Zhang smiled meaningfully: "Lord Wang, you should have heard a sentence, Shibei should be impressed in three days, the potential of the princess is immeasurable to you." ”

King Qian's brows were deep, he didn't agree with Mr. Zhang's words in his heart, Xia and his husband and wife for more than ten years, could it be that he, the person next to him, didn't know her as well as Mr. Zhang?

But he did not refute, and at the same time agreed to Zeng Yan's request to move the account book to Xia Jing to check the accounts.

Xia Jing only looked at a few general ledger books, and even if Zeng Yan moved the other ledgers, she let him move them back.

After understanding the current income and expenditure situation of the palace, Xia Jing had a bottom in her heart.

If the Dayu Dynasty is a rotten ship that sinks quickly, then the Qianwang Mansion is now a small fishing boat that tests the water after renovation, although it is dilapidated, it is better than not leaking. What you do in the water depends on the ability of the person at the helm.

After reading the account book this time, Xia Jing did not take the financial power of the entire palace on her as Zeng Yan expected, but let him continue as before.

When Zeng Yan left with the account book, Hongmei was completely puzzled about the purpose of Xia Jing's operation?

She asked, "Princess, don't you take the opportunity to take over the power of the head of the house?" ”
