Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 117 Divide into Silver 2
Without waiting for her to step forward to thank him, Yixiu continued, "Today I have one more thing to tell all the sisters. The affairs of the mansion are becoming more and more complicated, and I am a little overwhelmed by myself, so I asked for the permission of the prince to ask sister Qi to help. Sister Qi, I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
Qi was stunned on the spot, and it was only after her personal maid secretly reminded her that she reacted.
"It's my honor! I will never let down the concubine and the prince's trust. If you have any complicated work in the future, just tell me to do it!" She could see that the palace affairs were intentionally divided up by the concubine, otherwise the prince would not have thought of this.
Government affairs! No matter how trivial the tasks assigned to her by Concubine Fu Jin were, it was a great honor to assist in government affairs, and others could not interfere.
Didn't you see that the eyes of those princesses were full of envy and jealousy when they looked at her? Qi felt that the eyes were like needles piercing her body, but she was fearless. How could she refuse the power she had obtained?
"As long as Sister Qi is happy, I was worried that it was just my wishful thinking. Now I am relieved! Please ask Sister Qi to go to Haitang Garden later..."
Everyone watched helplessly as Qi gained the power to assist in the management of government affairs, and they couldn't help but feel envious.
Qi is so blessed. She married the eldest princess of the mansion for free, and then jumped to the position of concubine. Now she can also assist in managing the affairs of the mansion. How come she gets all the good things?
Even Li felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of the words that Concubine Jin had said to comfort her, "Just focus on taking care of the Third Prince. If the Third Prince grows up safely, you will have endless blessings in the future!"
Think about it carefully, can you handle the affairs of the palace? If something goes wrong, the prince will definitely blame you, and then he will vent his anger on the third prince!" She put aside this thought.
The one who felt even more uncomfortable was Fujin. Resentment, blame, annoyance and other emotions surged in her heart. Firstly, Qi had been on good terms with her, but she betrayed her and gradually moved towards Yixiu. This was nothing short of an ungrateful person. Secondly, Yixiu was clearly overwhelmed, but instead of asking her, her elder sister, for help, she turned to outsiders. She really couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside!
Although she had never thought of helping Yixiu, she just wanted to take all the government affairs into her own hands!
Everyone had their own thoughts, and the greeting ceremony ended in a whimper.
……
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During the past six months, many things, big and small, happened, and there were undercurrents both inside and outside the mansion, but none of them affected the eldest prince Honghui.
Maybe it was bad luck, no one was moving in the backyard, and last year's grand scene seemed to be a flash in the pan.
It has already shown that the third brother's talent is mediocre. He is far behind the eldest and second princesses in every aspect. At just over ten months old, he can only utter "ah ah ah" and no matter how we teach him, he won't say any other words.
Honghui had prepared for the worst in his mind, and it would definitely be difficult to teach in the future!
When will a fourth brother come?
Hongli? No, no, forget about Hongli! It’s better not to have a child who was plotted against.
However, there is no need to rush. It will take four years for Ama to plot against Hongli, so there is no need to worry about Hongli for the time being.
I just wonder which concubine is lucky enough to give birth to my fourth brother? There must be a prince born in the mansion in these four years, otherwise the emperor and his mother will not be able to pass this test.
Honghui was thinking about something and his hands slowed down. When he came to his senses, he found that his right hand was sore and tired because he had been hanging his arm for too long.
When practicing calligraphy, you must practice with your arms suspended, otherwise you won’t be able to write a good character!
He twisted his right hand gently, exerted his strength for a moment, then picked up the brush to continue his unfinished work.
I had just written one page when Su Peisheng came in and said, "Big brother, Lord Beile wants you to go to the front yard. The Ninth Prince is also here."
Why did Uncle Jiu come again? Did he achieve some results? Honghui quickly followed Su Peisheng to the front yard.
Uncle Jiu rarely visited the Fourth Prince's residence throughout the year, but he came three times in the past six months!
The first time he came to give him silver, a total of five thousand taels, saying it was money for buying a house. At that time, he knew that Uncle Jiu was a decent person and did not ignore the money just because of his young age.
Well, Uncle Jiu is really good at doing business. In just two or three months, he made tens of thousands of taels of silver with the kaleidoscope. Now that half a year has passed, he should have made at least 100,000 taels, right?
Honghui kept walking and soon arrived at the front yard.
"My son pays respects to my father, and my nephew Honghui pays respects to my uncle."
Before Yinzhen made any move, Yin'er spoke first: "Get up, get up, why are you being so polite to Uncle Jiu? Uncle Jiu came here today to give you some silver. It's not much, it's just a token of my appreciation!"
Isn't that a small amount? The sum of the notes clearly adds up to two thousand taels!
Honghui declined and said, "Uncle Jiu, I cannot accept this banknote. The method of making ice with saltpeter is an ancient method that has existed since the Tang and Song dynasties. It is only because saltpeter was regulated that it was gradually lost.
It is written in ancient books that saltpeter can be used to make ice. My nephew just happened to read that book and told it as an interesting anecdote! All the research and sales were done by Uncle Jiu alone. My nephew did not contribute much. Instead, he caused Uncle Jiu to be scolded by the Emperor Mafa. My nephew feels very guilty! "
Yinzhen smiled and shook his head, completely ignoring the aggressive gaze of his fourth brother not far away. "Hey! Don't take it to heart. It's common for your emperor to teach Uncle Jiu a lesson. It doesn't hurt to be scolded once or twice. It's more important to make money! Unfortunately, saltpeter is strictly controlled. I went through a lot of trouble to get a share of more than 100 kilograms. Fortunately, this saltpeter can be reused, otherwise, I would have missed a great opportunity to make money in vain."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yinzhen frowned and stared at Yinlu with cold eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's only right for the Emperor to teach you a lesson. As a prince, you spend all day thinking about business matters, and even extended your hand to the heavily regulated saltpeter. Do you know how many times the previous dynasty has impeached you in the past few months? If it weren't for the Emperor..."
"I know, I know!" Yinzhen didn't like to hear this, he just said a few words perfunctorily, "Fourth brother, I didn't compete with the people for profit, I made money from the rich and powerful, and I also gave 30% of the profit to the emperor. Now the emperor has said nothing, why are you wasting your breath?"
"Honghui, just accept it! I, your uncle, don't make much. I only made 20,000 taels of silver in one summer, but saltpeter is still too little! These two thousand taels are just a token of my appreciation. After all, you are the only one who cares about my preferences. Others only scold and despise me, and no one helps me to make money!" While speaking, Yinzhen opened his folding fan written with ink, and the four big black characters on the fan shone brightly.
Honghui took a closer look and found that the ink was mixed with gold powder, which was in line with the meaning of "making a fortune every day"!
