The princess pursed her lips, and a wry smile appeared on her pale face, "Ju Qing, am I too harsh on my regrets?"
After the death of the princess's maid, Ju Qing has been serving the princess. Ju Qing knows most of the princess's affairs. Ju Qing can also figure out the princess's thoughts. She smiled faintly and said, "Princess, don't take it to heart either."
, Although you are strict with the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is a kind-hearted person and does not bear any grudge against you. That day at the door, you also heard with your own ears what the Crown Princess said to Concubine Yun and Concubine Li. You also
You know how much the Crown Princess defends and protects you. The Crown Princess doesn't take it to heart at all, so you can relax."
The princess smiled bitterly and closed her eyes slightly. She was sick that day and was inconvenient. When Ju Qing helped her get up, she saw Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui still outside the yard and seemed to be talking to someone. The princess was confused and asked Ju Qing to help her.
She went to the side and listened, hearing Concubine Li's provocation, Concubine Yun's instigation, and Yun Buhui's counterattack. Yun Buhui defended her many times. Whether it was true or false, Yun Buhui gave her a great deal.
In order to save her face, she would not let Mr. Li and Mr. Yun ridicule her, and she could rest well even when she was ill.
Now that she has replaced the Yun family as the head of the family, the princess feels unspeakable. Ju Qing looked at the princess, her illness had hit her too hard, she looked haggard, and looked much older than usual. Ju Qing also felt sorry for her master and couldn't help but say
, "Princess, please forgive me for talking too much. The past has passed. If the princess keeps thinking about it, she will eventually be at odds with herself and seek trouble. The prince treats you coldly, but the prince and princess are filial and the two princesses are considerate.
, God is kind to the princess, you should put aside the past things and enjoy your happiness. Besides, the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with the princess. If you think otherwise, that person owes you, and her daughter will be your wife.
, isn’t being filial to you just about repaying a debt?”
The princess smiled bitterly, Xiuyu didn't owe her anything, she couldn't see it away, resented Xiuyu, and occupied the prince's heart for a lifetime. The resentment for so many years had become a habit, and it was not easy to let go.
Ju Qing just clicked it and did not talk in depth. He helped the princess lie down and said softly, "Princess, don't think about it. If you are not feeling well, just rest more. There is a concubine in Dongyuan to worry about, so you can rest assured and recuperate."
The princess smiled lightly and said, "It seems that you trust her very much."
"The Crown Prince trusts the Crown Princess." Ju Qing said, helping the princess to tuck the quilt, "We are slaves and we must trust our master."
The princess closed her eyes to rest. Ju Qing wanted to go out and let her meditate. The princess suddenly said, "I regret that it is my first time to be the head of the family. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Please ask her to ask me if she doesn't understand anything."
Ju Qing was startled, then smiled softly, "Yes, I take the order."
…
After Yun Buhui's death, she found out that the affairs of the palace were many and complicated, and she had to look over everything big and small, including the distribution of regular money in the East, West, South, and North Gardens, purchases in the palace, distribution of valuables, deployment of servants in the palace, security in the palace, and everything in daily life.
There are so many things, Yun Buhui felt very upset as soon as he took office. The most terrible thing is that among the four gardens of East, West, South and North, Dongyuan indeed has the highest expenses, most of which are in Haoyueju, but Xiyuan, Nanyuan and Beiyuan have the highest expenses.
It’s not small, the monthly expenses are even greater than the monthly income.
Living beyond one's means is a taboo for wealthy families. In order to maintain superficial prosperity without money support, it is not a long-term solution. Yun Buhui calculated the expenses for several months this year and was slightly surprised. The expenses of the palace were
That’s twice as much as Lou’s house.
After looking at the old accounts of the house for several days in a row, she found that there were hundreds of taels that were not matched every month, which was really a headache. A few hundred taels a month was not a small amount, and all the money was spent on
Where, I'm afraid the princess herself doesn't know.
Lingxi saw that she was late in checking the accounts and advised her to take a rest and said, "The government spends thousands of taels a month, and it is common for the accounts to be inconsistent from time to time."
Yun Buhui smiled faintly. She hated the mismatch of accounts the most. After she took charge, there would never be a problem of mismatching of accounts.
Concubine Li came to collect the daily expenses. Once she received it, it was ten days' daily expenses. Concubine Li complicated the daily expenses of the palace. The princess always paid fifty taels a day for expenses, because the four gardens all had small kitchens, and occasionally there were small kitchens.
The kitchen also needs to prepare some food, so less is given to the kitchen.
After Yun Buhui calculated the accounts, he was given thirty taels for daily expenses. Concubine Li was very dissatisfied. Yun Buhui lost twenty taels as soon as she took office. Yun Buhui said, "Aunt Li, thirty taels."
One day is enough for everyone in the palace to spend, and it is more than enough. I know you are busy, but I still want to trouble you to do the expenses for this month. I want to compare it with last month."
"It's not like I can't afford the money, so I only give thirty taels a day for use. What a joke." Concubine Li was dissatisfied. In fact, the palace's daily expenses were more than twenty taels a day. When the princess was in charge, she had fifty taels a day.
She can deduct more than ten taels from it without anyone noticing. The princess has always ignored such trivial accounts.
Yun Buhui smiled faintly, "I took a rough look at last month's expenses. A pound of pork is thirty cents. The palace buys ten pounds of pork a day, which is three hundred cents, and the monthly payment is 9,000 cents, which is 9 taels of silver.
I asked Jing Nan to go to the market and ask. A pound of pork is clearly twenty taels, and it only costs 6 taels a month. I wonder where Aunt Li bought the pork, but it cost ten cents a pound?"
Concubine Li's face changed slightly, and she said forcefully, "The things I tell people to buy for daily use are all the best. Sometimes they are more expensive."
Yun Buhui nodded, reluctantly agreeing with her statement. She smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Li, let's not talk about the expensive issue. Let's talk about accounts. There are accounts for daily food every day. They are many and complicated. I think my mother's daily life
If you don't pay attention to checking the accounts, my aunt's accounts will always be short of one or two taels of silver every day. In this month, there will be dozens of taels short."
Concubine Li clenched her pink fists tightly, Yun Buhui lowered her eyes and smiled sweetly and gently, "Aunt Li, you also know that Buhui is in charge for the first time. She is always afraid of making mistakes in everything. She is always trembling for fear of making mistakes. Although these accounts
It's messy, but I usually have plenty of time, so I will check the accounts carefully. If I am short of one tael of silver, I will ask my aunt to tell her where to go. Let's forget it. Starting from this month, I have to trouble my aunt to be more careful."
Concubine Li took three hundred taels and walked away.
Lingxi said, "Prince Concubine, you are so powerful. Aunt Li is even mad at you."
Yun Buhui smiled slightly. She was really tired from looking at these accounts of the palace. It looked very strenuous. With so many messy accounts, it was indeed common for them to not be reconciled sometimes. Bingyue said, "Miss, will this happen?"
