Bihe covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, "The Eighth Lady said that the girl is a living Bodhisattva. I thought the Eighth Lady was exaggerating before, but today I followed the two sisters and read the account book for a quarter of an hour. I feel that what the Eighth Lady said is not true at all.
Check, he is not a living Bodhisattva."
After Bi He said this, the other three girls also started laughing.
Lu Fenghe pretended to be angry, making several people laugh even more.
"Why are you laughing? You are so happy. It makes me happy too."
Qin Linger's voice came from the window.
Lu Fenghe couldn't believe it, "Did you really come back after seeing the Garden of Beasts?"
Cuizhi opened the curtain and let Qin Ling'er in, "How can I be a person who breaks my word? I'm still waiting for the buns on your stove."
Qin Ling'er sat down, and Lu Fu immediately brought sweet soup.
Lu Fenghe looked at her slightly sweaty temples and said, "Go get some ice."
Everyone was trying to stop him, urging Lu Fenghe to be patient, as he could not use ice during confinement.
Lu Fenghe laughed and said, "Put it over there for you to use. I'm sitting here. There are so many people. What's the impact of putting a little ice on it?"
Qin Ling'er knew that Lu Fu and Qing Ling had just returned from the Prince's Mansion and were still talking to each other. Apparently Lu Fenghe didn't avoid her either.
"Go get it."
Cuizhi could only go out and explain to the little girl waiting outside.
"What are you talking about? You're smiling so happily."
Qingling thought of Bihe's words, "Sister Bihe said that the lady said our girl is a living Bodhisattva, and she was absolutely right."
"That's not true. You girls wish you could save all sentient beings."
Lu Fenghe glanced at her, "You're talking nonsense, sweet soup can't stop you."
After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Fu: "Continue to talk about the booklet."
Lu Fu was interrupted and almost forgot what she was talking about, "Oh oh oh, slaves and maids saw it, the girl's biggest expense was the year she got married, she spent nearly two thousand taels a year."
Lu Fenghe frowned, "This is normal. I just arrived in Kyoto and I need to take care of everything."
Cuizhi didn't agree, "But the maids and maids all get their money from their dowries."
"Is that the case with everyone in your yard?"
Cuizhi shook her head, "It's just the slaves who came here from Piling. But in the courtyard, except for the caretaker woman and the little girl who was in charge, most of them came from Piling. I have calculated it. I can give the money to the prince's house every month."
After saving twenty-four taels, the total amount will be one thousand four hundred and forty taels in the past five years."
Qin Ling'er nodded, "Every government has regulations. You should pay for the extra money yourself. You really shouldn't help Shen Dalang save this money."
Lu Fenghe was a little helpless. She was not helping Shen Nanxun save money, but she didn't expect this at all.
Lu Fu then added, "There are also some favors. Others have given gifts to the palace's booklet and sent posts. If the princess does not go, but the girl does, the girl will directly choose gifts from her own private treasury."
"If nothing else, you girls have just crossed the county prince's palace."
It made the girls laugh again.
"besides……"
"What else?" This is what Qin Ling'er asked.
Lu Fu nodded, "The little girl has been pregnant with our little kitchen for two years and one month, and the expenses for the little kitchen have basically come from the dowry."
"Aren't you going to the big kitchen to get ingredients?"
"Girl, don't talk about it. The big kitchen can also provide you with some seasonal vegetables, or rice, flour, grains and oils. We buy most of the meat and vegetables ourselves."
"Exactly, two years and one month, the small kitchen cost nearly a thousand taels."
Qin Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, "The prince of this county married a woman into the house and did not spend money on her. Instead, she consciously subsidized the family. If this woman were given to me, I would be reluctant to let her go."
Lu Fu wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu Fenghe, "Okay, there's no need to say it, I already know it."
Qin Ling'er added the last blow, "There's really no need to forget it. These three items add up to four thousand taels."
"Isn't this money just for flowers to use?" Lu Fenghe argued forcefully.
"But it also depends on where the flowers are used. Besides, what about the profits from your Zhuangzi shop?"
Lu Fenghe also looked at Lu Fu, who was married to a large number of Zhuangzi shops.
"Don't mention it, Miss Eight. There was a flood in the village on Jiangnan Road the year before last, so it was fine that there was no income. The girl waived the rent and gave extra money to each household. This Jiangnan Road didn't have any income and even gave money to it."
"Also, half of the shop in Changzhou Prefecture was burned down by flooding from the shop next door. In addition to using money to repair the shop, he also bought the shop next door that was almost burned to ashes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ling'er said, "Tell me if your girl is a living Bodhisattva. It was my fourth brother who negotiated the purchase of the shop. Your girl hasn't lowered the price yet. I know this."
Lu Fenghe felt that these things were too far away from him.
"By the way, the girl also bought a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing. She said it was too cold in winter in Kyoto. Think about it, Eight Lady, in Kyoto where land is at a premium, hot spring resorts are not cheap. All the income from the field shop over the years has not been included.
Already."
"This doesn't count as discounting. At any rate, I bought some. I'm afraid there will be no profit and I sell it. That's called discounting."
Lu Fenghe, a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing, knew that the original master was from Huainan and came from Heming Academy. Because he offended the powerful, he was demoted and was going to Lingnan.
When Lu Fenghe found out, he bought his village at a price that was 10% higher than the market price. He wanted them to have more money and go to Lingnan safely and settle down as soon as possible.
Zhuangzi is not big, but it does have several springs and exquisite houses. In his previous life, Lu Fenghe would go there almost every autumn, and sometimes he would stay there for a few days in the winter months.
Qingling pulled Lufu, but Lufu seemed unaware and didn't speak anymore.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Lu Fenghe stopped the two people's small movements.
Qing Ling could only bite the bullet and said: "When the slaves left, Butler Gou said a few words to the slaves in the front yard."
Lu Fenghe knew as soon as he heard this that Gou Shun must be waiting specifically for him.
"What did you say."
"He said... he said that since he left, he shouldn't enter the mansion again. The prince's mansion is not a place where you can come and leave as you please."
"Also... He also said that since the girl's dowry is in Bailuyuan, the Bailuyuan County Prince's Palace will order people to take care of it. If you are lucky, send a letter to their palace and they will transport it out."
The more Lu Fenghe listened, the uglier his face became. Although Gou Shun was responsible for the role of the housekeeper, he didn't care much. He only took care of matters in the front yard, and he never spoke in such an aggressive manner.
The more Lu Fenghe thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. Shen Nanxun, no, the Shen family must be planning something.
Qing Ling glanced at Lu Fenghe, a little unsure whether to continue talking.
"Tell me." Lu Fenghe saw Qing Ling's confusion.
"Butler Gou also said that since my brother and sister have left the house, they should not go back again."
The Shen family does not want direct descendants? That is absolutely impossible. This has only one purpose, to give outsiders the illusion that the two families have broken up.

I saw a message from a reader saying that school is about to start.
Matcha didn’t expect that there are middle school and high school students among the readers, so the physical rewards currently prepared are not suitable.
Please see the messages from middle school and high school friends here. If there are quite a lot of people... Matcha will prepare other physical rewards for the student party.
