After breakfast, Anu asked someone to remove the bowls and chopsticks from the table. As soon as they replaced them with hot tea, Li Chengmu walked in from outside.
After greeting several people, he happily said to Xia Jing: "Mother, concubine, the shopkeeper of Lu County Grain Shop knew that we shipped a lot of sesame seeds. He sent someone to ask if the sesame seeds were for sale? He quoted
The price has doubled from what we paid for it at that time.”
Xia Jing pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes filled with joy, "Since you can make money, sell it to him. After selling it, ask Ding Dazhuang to see what specialties there are in Lu County and buy some to fill the original carriage.
These materials have become a hot commodity in the next town."
"Okay, my son will make arrangements now." Li Chengmu seemed to have found a little fun in the journey.
When Li Chengmu left, King Qian was unhappy and said, "You are leading Xiaowu into trouble. He is the fifth master of the prince's palace, but you have taught him some profit-seeking and speculative ideas. I think he has already ruined the family."
Forget about national sentiments and do things that benefit the people!"
Xia Jing's face darkened, "Do you want him to talk about it and only know about it, or do you want him to be like you who doesn't care about childbirth and only indulges in female sex?"
Upon hearing this, King Qian's face changed drastically and he shouted sternly: "Nonsense! I am a noble prince who is not only rich in the world, but at least rich in a county and a county. I have countless capable people under my command. I still need to worry about these things? As for women,
Which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? This is worthy of your fuss and he will do some ridiculous things that only a jealous woman would do!”
Xia Jing fell down in anger. When did she become a jealous woman? Does he, a fat pig like him, need her to be jealous?
If I beat them with a stick last time, it was because I hated him for dragging the team back, and I had no intention of controlling him for playing with women.
She laughed angrily, with a sarcastic look in her eyes, "Okay, you are the prince, you are so amazing, I hope that later on, you can still laugh and be so rich!"
Damn scumbag!
Gyeonggi has abolished 80% of the royal family's property, and without the previous income, she wants to see how long King Qian can hold him back?
Let's see how he can support his army of guards and several sons and grandsons.
Without money, she wanted to see if he could still afford a beautiful woman?
When he arrived in Lingnan, he needed money everywhere. Fortunately, he had a good housekeeper, otherwise, the palace would have been paralyzed long ago.
How could he be here today to dominate and prosper?
"Sister, you are overly worried. The prince grew up in Jinxiudui. When did he worry about his livelihood? According to me, the wealth accumulated by the prince for decades is enough for us to spend even if we do nothing in Lingnan.
It will last a lifetime."
Aunt Sun was sitting nearby and couldn't help but speak. In fact, she didn't understand the financial situation of the palace, just to cause trouble for Xia Jing.
A sarcastic smile escaped Xia Jing's lips. She was too lazy to argue with a stupid woman who always knew how to be jealous and steal men.
King Qian frowned, "Did Zeng Yan hide something from me?"
Xia Jing couldn't help but sneer, "The prince has never cared about the financial situation of the palace. There is no concealment at all."
King Qian: "."
Has he fulfilled the reputation that Xia placed on his head?
In the early morning, Xia Jing was too lazy to talk to them. She stood up, stretched out her skirt, and said to her two maids: "Go pack up your things and load them into the carriage. We are ready to set off."
Hongmei hesitated for a moment, "Princess, just now the fifth master has gone to do some business, we don't have to wait for him?"
Xia Jing walked out without any hesitation, "No, because there are so many people in our team, it is easy to delay the time. When we are ready to set off outside the South City Gate, he might be here too."
"That's right!" Hongmei nodded and followed Baimei into the room on the right.
As soon as the master and servant left, Aunt Sun stared at King Qian and cautiously called, "Your Majesty."
King Qian waved his hand impatiently, "Go and get ready. We will leave the city in a moment."
"good."
When the prince and the princess are at odds, the happiest person is Aunt Sun.
Although King Qian is lustful, he usually does not bring women to his palace. If he brings women back, they are basically women who are qualified to give birth to him.
So up to now, there are only one princess and two concubines in the mansion.
The team left Lu County and headed south. During the lunch break, guards came to report that someone wanted to see them.
Xia Jing was sitting under the big tree, enjoying the breeze blowing on her face. She heard that someone asked to meet her, but she couldn't remember who she knew.
"Who wants to see me?"
The guard lowered his head and reported: "She introduced herself as Mou Wu from Runan, and said she has known you since she was a child."
"Mou Wu family?"
Xia Jing had a headache. In ancient times, this was very troublesome. When a married woman introduced herself to others, she always called herself a certain surname, and she had to add her husband's surname and her own surname in front of it.
A married woman does not even deserve to have a name to others.
"Princess, don't you know this Mou Wu family?" Hongmei brought over the herbal tea and pastries prepared in the morning.
Xia Jing shook her head, "I've known so many people since I was a child, how can anyone remember them all? You'll know who they are when you meet them."
With that said, she ordered the guards, "Go and bring this person over."
The guards took the order and left.
While Hongmei was fanning her, she looked curiously towards the direction where the guards were leaving, "Princess, do we still have pancakes and porridge for lunch?"
Since arriving in Jingzhou and getting rice, Xia Jing has fallen in love with rice and white porridge.
The most important thing is that before arriving in Jingzhou, I only ate pancakes and multigrain porridge. I was tired of eating these and wanted to change my taste.
Moreover, the pancakes of this era are just flat pancakes. There is no fermentation technology or other cooking techniques. It is impossible to taste delicious. It can only be said to fill the stomach.
"Let Bai Mei pull some wild onions by the roadside and make egg soup." Xia Jing looked up at the cloudless blue sky and sighed slightly, "The weather is too hot, so making pancakes with egg soup should taste good."
Bai Mei, who was squatting nearby to set up a simple stove, heard this and responded with a smile: "Then do as you say, Princess. The wild onions are still very tender now, and the soup will be very fragrant when cooked with eggs."
Xia Jing laughed thinking about the taste, "Well, we'll try your craft later."
While the master and servant were talking, the guards came over with two women in undershirts.
As I got closer, I realized that one of them was a girl, and the two were probably mother and daughter.
"The commoner woman Mou Wu and her youngest daughter Guangzhen met the princess."
The woman led the girl and bowed down to Xia Jing.
Xia Jing's eyes wandered over the woman. She looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
She raised her hand and said politely: "No need to be polite, please get up quickly."
The woman pulled her daughter to stand up and looked at Xia Jing with a look of joy: "Princess, do you still remember the common women?"
"Who are you."
"Wu Yuli, a civilian woman, before we got married, we often met and went shopping together."
Xia Jing looked at the woman in front of her, searched for memories about her in her memory, and suddenly said: "It turns out to be you. I really didn't recognize you if you didn't tell me. You have changed so much over the years. If we met on the street,
