Shangguan Kite studied in Beiyong Kaimeng with the princes since he was a child, and Master Lin was already a very famous Confucian at that time.

She can sit still better than others, and she is good at learning calligraphy, Master Lin has liked her since she was a child, and before she graduated, she directly admitted in public: "Royal princes, only the eldest princess is my favorite." ”

Some people also say that Master Lin is a wise man to protect himself, not to stand in line to win the heir, saying that a princess is the best, it is better than favoring a certain prince.

Shangguan Kite doesn't care about these either, she has an excellent relationship with Master Lin, and it is of course a happy event to see her again at this time.

However, thinking that Master Lin would probably test her knowledge when he returned to Beijing, Shangguan Kite studied more diligently after that.

Even Qinghe teased her, not much worse than the student who wants to be a chunqiu.

The time was approaching the wax moon, and it snowed again on this day.

"Boss Xu is here? Is there something urgent, such a heavy snow coming. ”

Shangguan Kite put down the pen in his hand and looked at the door with some curiosity.

Xu Ningqin wore thick piers, and walked in the wind and snow step by step.

She was still holding a small box in her arms, and slowly walked to the door of the flower hall to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Kite looked funny: "What baby? You hold it like this. ”

"It's the account book of the factory this year." Xu Ningqin is now familiar with her, stood at the door and saluted, took off her cloak again, and walked in with the box.

Shangguan Yuan smiled: "It seems that I have made a lot of money, so we are so happy with Boss Xu." ”

"That's good." Xu Ningqin was also not modest, "There is also a share for the princess." ”

"Oh? That Hongu can have a good year. Shangguan Yuan smiled and asked Qing He to take it.

She packed up the paper, pen and ink, put the small box in front of her, and opened it to see that first there was a thick account book, then a stack of silver tickets.

You don't have to look closely, just look at the amount on it and be shocked.

"One hundred taels of silver tickets, twenty?" Shangguan Kite couldn't believe it.

As the eldest princess, her annual income is only 1,000 taels.

Of course, she still has rice and flour cloth and other things, but judging from the amount of silver, it is really amazing.

Xu Ningqin was still roasting her hands, and said with a smile: "This year's silk mill opened late, and there should be more next year." ”

Shangguan Yuan frowned slightly, she was willing to share with Xu Ningqin, but she didn't like the other party to stammer herself.

When he opened the account book, Shangguan Kite was shocked again.

"What is this? This rule? Shangguan Kite pointed at those and asked.

Separate the monthly income, expenses, and balances, clearly.

The sum of the final sum is really good, if it is divided according to what they said before, then Shangguan Kite really didn't take much of the two thousand taels.

Flipping through the inside, it is the detailed account of each month, which is still clearly divided in columns.

"This is the form, and the grass people think it's pretty easy to use." Xu Ningqin, who was roasting hot, walked over and pointed to every row and column on the ledger to explain to Guan Yuan.

Shangguan Kite listened to the novelty, took out a piece of rice paper, found a fine brush to draw, and tried to list it again.

"There are quite a lot of uses for the form, and the grass people usually use it to record when they read."

Xu Ningqin only said this, how smart Shangguan Kite was, he immediately understood how to record.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was really a good thing, took Xu Ningqin's account book in her hand and looked at it over and over for a long time, and then slowly exhaled a breath.

She looked at Xu Ningqin with a smile: "Sometimes, Bengong simply feels that you are from another world. ”

Xu Ningqin's eyes changed, but she heard Shangguan Yuan continue: "How can there be so many whimsical ideas, but do things so properly. ”

"If there is a good minister like you in the court, wouldn't I be able to go to the next level!" Shangguan Kite took a breath and didn't pay much attention to Xu Ningqin's expression.

Xu Ningqin calmed down before she said in a low voice: "The eldest princess is always concerned about Dasheng, and the grass people worship it. ”

"This palace is the eldest princess of Dasheng, and she has to think about Dasheng." Shangguan Kite lowered his head and continued to draw different styles of tables, thinking in his heart what was the use of this thing in political affairs.

Seeing Shangguan Kite like this, Xu Ningqin bit her lip, hesitated for a few breaths between hiding and performing, and finally gave up.

She just wants a peaceful and stable life, that is, she clings to the eldest princess, and she just wants someone to protect her in this capital.

The snow stopped in the afternoon of this day, and Shangguan Kite was still studying the form in the flower hall, when the Empress Dowager Chu suddenly visited.

She didn't have time to clean up the books on the table, so she could only get up and deal with the Empress Dowager Chu: "Queen Mother, you, why are you here." ”

Empress Dowager Chu's eyes swept away, and when she saw what Shangguan Kite was reading, she saw what she was reading "Tongjian Compendium" and "Group Books", and her face suddenly pulled.

Shangguan Yuanqiang smiled: "What's wrong with the queen mother? ”

"Your imperial brother asked you to be grounded and meditate on yourself, and you are so meditative?" Empress Dowager Chu said very displeasedly, "The mourning family still wants to bring your letter of repentance to your imperial brother today, so that you can enter the palace, but you are not worried at all." ”

"Erchen thinks that he has nothing to do in the house, so he should read more books." Shangguan Kite whispered softly, and quietly reached over with his hand, wanting to turn over the books and cover the cover.

Empress Dowager Chu looked at her silently.

Shangguan Kite frowned slightly, simply stopped pretending, and continued to bury his head in drawing the form, wanting to summarize the reading experience that came in.

Empress Dowager Chu walked over, couldn't understand her rules, couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly changed the topic: "You have been to Chu Mansion before, how about looking at Qin Xiaohe?" ”

"Qin Xiaohe? Who? Shangguan asked without raising his head.

Empress Dowager Chu choked, but in the end she explained: "That's it...... Qin Yongfang's brother, you have seen it, and his knowledge is very good. ”

Shangguan Kite raised his head this time: "I have some impressions...... He's a lifter, isn't he? How is it good to learn? ”

"If you raise someone to participate in the Spring Festival next year, you may be the champion, and since ancient times, there has been a champion to do the beautiful thing of a horse, what do you think?" Empress Dowager Chu asked as gently as possible.

Shangguan Kite was stunned.

The brush in her hand fell on the table with a "snap", and she asked in disbelief: "Who?" What colt? ”

"Today, your aunt and uncle entered the palace to visit the mourning family and talked about treasures...... That child has solid eyes, so he has to marry a girl from the Qin family. But that Qin Xiaohe is good, there is a degree of advance and retreat, and the mourning family looks at it with joy......"

"Did he propose it himself, or did his aunt say it?" Shangguan Kite asked directly.

Empress Dowager Chu had a slight look of ridicule on her face: "Yes, yes...... Oh, anyway, with your current reputation, it's really hard to find a colt, Qin Xiaohe is already good......"

Shangguan Kite was almost laughed at angrily: "What kind of broken door is his Qin family, and what kind of thing is Qin Xiaohe?" Why should I marry him, so that I can make a face for his indecent sister, so that the daughter of the Qin family can marry into the Chu family in a beautiful way? ”

As soon as she heard it, she knew what her good aunt had in mind!

"Oh, the Qin family was originally a local family, and in recent years, it has withered, but the background is still there." Empress Dowager Chu was a little embarrassed and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Shangguan Kite couldn't help but roll his eyes, and directly refused: "No, even if he really has the luck to be named the champion, it can't work!" ”
