Chapter 18 Poverty alleviation

Mr. Shang walked out of Jingyang Palace with a faint smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

"Father-in-law."

Outside the palace gate, the eunuchs in flowery clothes were waiting here, and when they saw Mr. Shang coming out, they saluted respectfully.

"Let's go, there's nothing to do with us in this Jingyang Palace."

Mr. Shang waved his hand lightly, said casually, and then left without looking back.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes naturally did not dare to disobey their orders and immediately followed.

These words can be regarded as completely removing the suspicion of Jingyang Palace.

It seems that the matter of stealing the imperial meal ended with the two yellow-clothed eunuchs of the Yanqu Palace.

……

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, there is actually polished rice and white flour, and there is so much money!"

In Jingyang Palace, Yu'er hid in the room with Princess Ankang, and counted the compensation sent by the previous manager Shang on the table.

The embroidered brocade burden is divided into two burdens, one large and one small, and the big burden is grain, in addition to the brown rice that Jingyang Palace has been deducted this month, there are other polished rice noodles, which makes Yu'er surprised.

As for the small baggage, there were copper coins, which were stuffed to the brim, only a lot more than the previous monthly routine.

The two girls looked at the good things in the baggage, and their eyes glowed green, just like two little money fans.

For the two who are used to being poor, this is already a rare big scene.

"Not only that, just now Mr. Shang also gave a big gift before leaving, saying that it was a little heart for His Highness."

As she spoke, Yu'er took out the silver ingot in her sleeve pocket and placed it in the middle of the table.

The room with the doors and windows closed suddenly lit up, and everything else in the baggage looked dull in front of the huge silver ingot.

"So big!?"

Princess Ankang exclaimed in surprise, and her round eyes stuck to the silver ingot.

She didn't seem to have seen a silver ingot this large for as long as she could remember.

Princess Ankang tried to reach for it, but she couldn't pick it up from the table at all.

She tried a few more times without giving up, but she choked herself enough.

"It's too heavy!"

Princess Ankang has no idea how weak she is.

Yu'er saw that Princess Ankang was tired and sweaty, she couldn't help but smile dotingly, took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and comforted her mouth: "That is to say, fifty taels of Yin engraved imperial silver, which is more than three catties!" ”

"Mr. Shang is worthy of being a figure of the ancestors' generation, and his shot is generous."

"For the first time in years, someone has helped us."

"I always feel that Mr. Shang doesn't seem to be as terrifying as the rumors."

As soon as Yu'er's words fell, a black shadow swished in from outside the window.

"Ah, Ah Xuan is back, where did you go to play just now?"

"Tell you, something good has happened at home."

Princess Ankang opened her arms and happily welcomed Li Xuan's return.

is different from usual, Li Xuan did not run into Princess Ankang's arms, but pounced on Yu'er's head, and then lit up his meow fist and played the snare drum.

"Stupid girl, stupid girl!"

"Sell me, count the money for others, and say good things for others!"

"I won't help you anymore!"

"I'm so angry!!

Li Xuan had hid behind the big water tank before, and listened to the conversation between Yu'er and the chief monk clearly.

He originally thought that this old eunuch was not simple, and just now he overheard the eunuch in flower clothes outside the door asking him whether to monitor Jingyang Palace.

Li Xuan immediately understood that the old eunuch was not well-intentioned.

Although it is not clear how the other party suspected them, Li Xuan, who has a ghost in his heart, naturally understands that the other party is by no means untargeted.

Therefore, he had been hiding from Mr. Shang and did not show up, but he didn't expect to be exposed to Yu'er in the end.

"You're really my weakness!"

Li Xuan beat the snare drum angrily and thought viciously.

"Ahhh......h

Yu'er let out a slight cry of pain rhythmically, but her eyes were still firmly locked on the silver ingot, and she showed no intention of repentance.

"Ah Xuan, don't make trouble, your hair is going to be messed up."

Yu'er traced her head insincerely, trying to stop Li Xuan, but her eyes never left the silver ingot, how could she catch it?

Li Xuan easily dodged Yu'er's hand, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

After seeing Manager Shang leave from a distance just now, Li Xuan was afraid that the old eunuch would have a trick, so he worked hard near Jingyang Palace for a long time to make sure that no one was watching.

But as soon as he arrived outside the house, he heard Yu'er saying good things about Manager Shang here, where could Li Xuan bear it.

Thinking of this, he was even more puzzled and bit Yu'er's head.

"Oops!"

"Ah Xuan, you come over to me!"

This time Yu'er finally woke up from the pain, and she stood up to catch Li Xuan.

A man and a cat spun around the table, spinning like a spinning top.

This scene made Princess Ankang giggle and watched the excitement on the side.

In the end, Yu'er was so tired that she was out of breath, but she still didn't catch Li Xuan, so she had to sit back in place and complain to Princess Ankang: "Your Highness, Ah Xuan bullied me, and you didn't help me talk about him!" ”

"My Ah Xuan is so well-behaved, how can he bully Sister Yu'er?"

"If Ah Xuan really bullied you, there must be a reason for Ah Xuan."

Regarding Princess Ankang's rebellious remarks, Yu'er rolled her eyes helplessly.

Li Xuan was extremely satisfied, and came to Princess Ankang and rubbed her non-stop.

"This is my good little master, Yu'er, you can learn something for me."

Li Xuan was coquettish with Princess Ankang, and did not forget to glance at Yu'er contemptuously, and knocked on the table angrily.

The ghost knows what else the old eunuch knows, although Yu'er just told Li Xuan's appearance, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause more chain reactions from the other party.

Li Xuan thought about it and felt that it was not the same thing to always hide it at home.

Since the other party took the initiative to come to the door to test it, he also had to go out to probe the rumors and see how the two little eunuchs of Yanqu Hall carried the black cauldron.

He originally wanted to be honest at home for ten days and half a month, and wait for the limelight to pass completely.

Now it seems that this method is not very reliable.

"If you can't wait passively, then you can only take the initiative."

Li Xuan made up his mind to go to Yanqu Hall tomorrow to inquire about the news.

The three little ones made a fuss in the house for a while, and then cleaned up the things on the table.

It's getting dark, and Yu'er has to prepare dinner.

When it comes to cooking, Li Xuan can't help it.

He looked at his cat's claw, and then suddenly exerted force, and the cat's paw blossomed instantly.

But the extent of this flowering is really limited, and I am afraid that even the thinnest chopsticks will not be able to hold it.

So the cooking has to be done by Yu'er herself.

"Your Highness, the silver ingots and these broken silver will be kept with you first."

Yu'er only picked up the grain on the table, took out the silver ingots and the broken silver in her purse, and handed them to Princess Ankang.

"This ......"

"Hasn't the money and food in Jingyang Palace always been in the care of Sister Yu'er?"

"I don't understand this either, so let's let Sister Yu'er take care of it."

Princess Ankang was just about to shirk it, but was stopped by Yu'er.

"No, I carry so much silver with me for fear of losing it, so I hide it in the house, and I am afraid when I go out to work."

"Rather than this, it is better to leave it to His Highness for safekeeping, His Highness doesn't go out much on weekdays, and he can just keep this silver."

"Now that Your Highness has grown up, it's time for him to start learning these things."

Although Yu'er said this, Princess Ankang's face was still a little hesitant.

"That's it, didn't Your Highness tell me before that he would share my worries?"

Hearing this, Princess Ankang no longer hesitated, and nodded firmly to deal with the matter.

"Sister Yu'er, don't worry, Ankang will guard this silver."

"Okay, then Yu'er will thank Your Highness."

In the end, Yu'er just kept the copper plate in her purse, and handed over all the silver to Princess Ankang for safekeeping, including the broken silver that she had recently picked up.

There are a lot of them, and they can be stacked in a small pile.

The three little ones were only gathered in front of the silver, and even Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little in a trance.

Just a few days ago, they were still worrying about their next meal, but now they are considered a little rich.

"With this money, we won't have to eat brown rice porridge all the time in the future."

Yu'er muttered softly, and their eyes showed a look of anticipation at the same time.

Tomorrow will be better than today.

Is there anything happier in this world?
