Gu Yufei tugged at the corners of her mouth and looked Gu Yuling up and down, her eyes were full of mockery, as if she was looking after the Gu family's subordinates.

Gu Yuling took a step back slightly, lowered her face slightly to hide the surprise in her eyes, and saluted respectfully, "Second sister." ”

Gu Yufei sneered, and said in a tone of commanding his subordinates: "I'm not feeling well tomorrow, you go to the eldest princess's mansion for me to explore the situation, and you prepare the gift yourself, if you let me know that you didn't go, don't want to ask for a little favor in the Gu family in the future!" ”

Gu Yuling was stunned, she didn't expect Gu Yufei to let her contact the eldest princess.

She understands Gu Yufei, Mrs. Gu dotes on her, even if she doesn't go, Mrs. Gu won't do anything to Gu Yufei, but if this matter is pushed on her head and she doesn't do it, then what awaits her will be severe and cruel punishment.

"Yes, second sister, I will visit the eldest princess early tomorrow morning." Gu Yuling said respectfully.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Gu Yufei proudly took the maid and left, anxious to go back to try on the newly obtained jewelry, and did not embarrass Gu Yuling anymore.

When Gu Yufei's back couldn't be seen, Gu Yuling straightened up, and the personal maid Peach Blossom who followed her worriedly: "Miss, we can't even take out ten taels of silver in our courtyard, how can we prepare a gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Why don't you go tell Madame? ”

Gu Yuling grabbed the old handkerchief in his hand and shook his head, "Tell Madam at this time that I will be punished, and the second sister will also be punished, and the second sister will also implicate me because of this." ”

Peach Blossom stopped talking.

Miss is right, the lord doesn't value the children at all, not to mention that the lady is just a concubine, the young lady's mother is long gone, she can only beg for a life under the lady, whether she can marry a good family in the future depends on the lady, if she offends the sister and the lady at this moment, the miss really has no way to live.

There are also some things Gu Yuling didn't say to the personal maid, she observed that the eldest princess seemed to be different from before, if the eldest princess was still like before, she would remind the eldest princess at most, but now, maybe the eldest princess is her lifesaver.

If she can make good use of this opportunity, she may be able to earn a light for her future.

On the first night of staying in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Qin Shuhuang rarely had a good night's sleep.

The dream is no longer a miserable scene from the previous life, but a scene of playing in the palace with the imperial brother when he was a child.

In her sleep, she felt Xuan Cang standing not far from the bed looking at her, there was a faint smell of walnut cake in the air, the corners of her mouth tugged, and this time she didn't wake up and catch him.

In the morning, she got up and had breakfast, and Ruihe came in to report, "Your Highness, the North Wangfu of the town next door has sent a gift back, and the old housekeeper who sent the gift is waiting outside the courtyard!" ”

Shi Yu next to him was a little surprised: "This Zhenbei Wangfu is not as arrogant and rude as it is rumored outside?" His Royal Highness gave a greeting gift yesterday, and he sent someone to return the gift today, and it was personally sent by the chief steward of the palace. ”

Shilan coughed, "Everyone in the capital doesn't care about how the Zhenbei Wangfu is, but they are all afraid of that remnant king......"

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Shilan, and Shilan immediately covered her mouth.

After a while, the chief butler of the Zhenbei Wangfu was invited to the flower hall.

The old housekeeper's surname is Xie, his name is Long, and as soon as he saw Qin Shuhuang, he respectfully bowed.

Then the four return gifts were personally presented to Qin Shuhuang by Steward Xie.

After giving the return gift, Steward Xie hurriedly retired, as if he was afraid that he would be stopped if he left late, which made people feel a little strange.

After Steward Xie left, Shilan helped Qin Shuhuang open the return gift of Zhenbei Wangfu.

When he saw the return gift inside, not only a few big maids, but Qin Shuhuang was surprised.

In the four-color box containing gifts, each gift is worth a lot of money.

The four gifts are a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, a huge piece of pure gold ingot, a piece of superb black jade, and a glass cup with excellent transparency.

Ruihe closed his small mouth that opened in surprise, "Your Highness, is the Zhenbei Mansion so arrogant?" ”

Together, the four gifts are worth five thousand taels of silver......

Although the greeting gift given by their highnesses was exquisite, if it was really exchanged for silver, it would only be less than fifty taels...... Among the four ceremonies, Yunwu tea is the most expensive, and the incense cakes are made by several of their big maids under the guidance of His Royal Highness, and the raw materials do not cost much silver.

After Qin Shuhuang was surprised, a warmth surged in her heart that could warm her heart.

She knew that Xuan Cang was the remnant king, Xuan Cang was by her side all day long, of course she knew that she was short of silver now, and he was silently helping her by giving gifts......

Rui Miao laughed, "No wonder Steward Xie left so fast just now, he was afraid that His Highness would not accept the gift if he saw it and felt that it was valuable." ”

Several big maids looked at Qin Shuhuang at the same time, "Your Highness, this is ...... ceremony"

Qin Shuhuang stretched out his hand and stroked the gift box, "Which of you dares to send this gift back to the Zhenbei Palace?" ”

A few big maids hurriedly shook their hands, the reputation of the remnant king was not covered, they didn't have the courage.

"Then stay, this palace happens to be short of silver, so you take these things and exchange them for silver. It's a big deal that the palace owes the king of Zhenbei a favor, and there will always be a chance to pay it back in the future. "The things sent by the Zhenbei Wangfu do not have any special markings and are all good things, they are very good to take out, and they can be exchanged for silver tickets in less than half a day.

Qin Shuhuang was right, and the return gift of the Zhenbei Wangfu was kept.

Xuan Cang, who was guarding the door with his personal guards, saw that Qin Shuhuang did not return the gift of the palace, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although he wanted to post more, but if there were more, Shuhuang was afraid that he would be suspicious.

The gifts from the Zhenbei Wangfu were exchanged for a total of 5,500 taels, and at this time, Ruihe also came with news that Qin Shuhuang's shop Zhuangzi land had been bought by Qin Wei's relatives at a high price.

Qin Shuhuang bowed his head, "Calculate how many silver taels there are now." ”

Ruimiao counted the abacus beads against the account book, and soon there was a result, "Back to Your Highness, there are forty thousand taels in total." ”

Originally, Qin Shuhuang had 3,000 taels, plus 5,500 taels sent by the remnant king, and those Huangzhuang shops and fields were sold for a total of 31,600 taels.

The silver should be enough for food for the time being.

The four big maids still don't know what Qin Shuhuang is doing with so much silver.

I only heard Qin Shuhuang say: "This palace wants to exchange all this silver for grain!" ”

Qin Shuhuang's eyes were firm, but the four big maids were even more surprised than before.

40,000 taels is a piece of silver that can't be spent in ten lifetimes for ordinary people's homes, and if you buy food, I'm afraid that ten big ships can't fit it, what does Her Royal Highness the princess want to buy so much food?
