Chapter 472 Prince and Cousin (3)

Later, Ning Yuehua asked for more and more things, and sometimes the original owner felt something was wrong, but she only briefly mentioned the matter with Xiao Yuzhu.

This made Xiao Yuzhu furious.

Ji Xuanxia had no choice but to save money, so she had to open up more money and opened a lot of profitable shops. After her death, the output of these shops maintained the squandering of the couple.

Xu'er's reminder was kind.

Xuan Xia hooked the corner of her mouth slightly, stretched out her hand and pressed it on her head, pretending to be helpless, she pointed to the ledger and sighed:
"The prince is a man, so it's normal for him to save face. The palace kindly brought Miss Biao here, but he can't even satisfy what she wants. It's understandable for him to be angry with me because of this."

"But the palace really doesn't have much money now. Miss Biao bought a jade bracelet a few days ago. Gold is valuable and jade is priceless. The jade bracelet is worth 300 taels of silver, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the prince's salary. "

She closed the ledger feebly, but her eyes turned cold.

"Call the stewards in. I have something to talk to the stewards."

The Wangfu family has a big business, and there are many things in charge. They are in charge of all aspects of life, from food purchases to the production of clothes every season.

Xuanxia didn't shy away from the account book of the palace, pretending that she couldn't understand the account book, and threw the account book over:
"The prince's salary is 3000 taels a year, and there is still a lot of output from the land and villages everywhere. Apart from me, the prince, and my cousin, there are no other masters in the palace. Why is there such a big difference in the money in the account!"

"Could it be that you did something behind your back to get the oil out?" Her voice was stern, and her eyes were sharp.

The few stewards are suffering and can't tell. They can achieve this position. Naturally, they have a little ambition, and they will still make some small profits in normal times.

But it's impossible. The action is so large that it can affect the entire palace's account balance.

A group of people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, for fear that Xuanxia would investigate in a fit of anger. Although the problem really wasn't with his mother, everyone had some minor problems to some extent.

"Princess, we definitely didn't do anything. You have to be careful."

Xuan Xia raised her eyelids slightly, stared at them with a half-smile and saw:

"If I didn't have hands and feet, wouldn't it be possible that I eat gold every day and there is so much money missing from my books?"

Everyone knew exactly where the money disappeared from, but it was difficult to directly blame the cousin. After all, she was the prince's favorite person.

Even the prince himself said that if Miss Biao wants something, she can withdraw it directly from the cashier without the concubine's consent.

On the side of the princess, you only need to hand over the accounts to her for review on a regular basis.

So he-mother just lay on the ground and kowtowed indiscriminately, and no one said anything.

"If no one speaks, then I'll ask about the food purchase first. How can the palace spend money that ordinary people can't eat in a lifetime for food in a month? Tell me the details of last month in detail."

The steward in charge of food purchase kowtowed.

"My concubine, it's a total of half a tael of silver. The prince usually eats at the cousin's side, and the rest is spent there."

"Oh, what did you buy?"

The steward became a little embarrassed: "I heard that there is a novel fruit produced in the south, and Miss Biao wanted to eat it, so the prince rushed to the horse and bought a few thousand-mile horses, and bought the fruit back."

"Not to mention that several thousand-mile horses were exhausted, and a few manpower was spent. Even the fruit was chilled in ice."

In ancient times, it was very troublesome to make ice. If it is winter, dig a deep cellar, fill it with water and let it slowly freeze into ice, and then use it in the next summer.

Either buy ice that has been reacted with Glauber's salt. The ice in the palace is bought from outside later.

"In addition to this, the consumption of ice is relatively large..."

After that, every steward came forward and reported the data one by one, and it was almost concluded that Ning Yuehua's expenses were too great.

Besides Ning Yuehua, Xiao Yuzhu himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp.He is a person of elegance and elegance, he collects the handwriting of famous masters all day long, and he also likes things like jade and antiques.

These things are not a small expense, if he is a person with real power, it's fine, but Xiao Yuzhu is an idle prince, if he wants these things, he can only buy them with his own money.

However, compared with Ning Yuehua's expenses, Xiao Yuzhu's money is not too much.

"It turned out to be like this. Cousin girl's division is based on the current division, and there is no need to change it, but the extra expenses will not be passed in the accounting office in the future!" Xuan Xia glanced coldly at the people present. everyone.

The stewards who were kneeling on the ground felt cold. The rules were set by the prince. How dare they disobey them.

There was no answer from the bottom, Xuan Xia sighed: "Since this is the case, you don't need to bring over your future account books."

The stewards then walked away tremblingly. In this palace, neither the princess nor the prince could be offended by them.
After the stewards left, Xuan Xia closed her eyes and rested, still thinking carefully in her mind.This matter will definitely reach Xiao Yuzhu's ears today, and I wonder if he will come over.

Counting it, the original owner hadn't seen Xiao Yuzhu for more than a month.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated, Xiao Yuzhu did not come.

Xuan Xia sighed deeply in her heart. The original owner's status in this palace was really too low. Even the stewards felt that she was a dispensable person.

But in fact, if the original owner hadn't been strong on the books in the next few years, the palace would have been in jeopardy.

The current palace is just a paper tiger with a strong outside and a dry inside. On the surface, it looks majestic, but inside, it has long been vulnerable to a single blow.

The original owner's only contact with the entire palace was probably to look at the account books. Now Xuan Xia simply refused to make daily purchases.

She has her own small kitchen in her yard, and the dowry belt is so rich that she can eat until she dies.

Xuan Xia made some calculations first, and only set aside enough money for her own food, and the rest of the money was invested outside and opened some shops.

In her mind, she still vaguely remembered the prices of various commodities in the capital a few years later. In the past two years, the grain harvest had been bumper and the price of rice was not very high.

But a few years later, a plague of locusts will drive up the price of grain.

As a result, she didn't have much money left, but the capital in her hands was not much at all.
