[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

After the plan was made, Linlin asked people to take out the unusable fabrics from the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sorted them into different categories, and set up a stall at the intersection of the outer city of the capital to sell them.Although these fabrics have some holes, those poor people don't pay much attention to these. As long as the materials are cheap and thick, the sales will naturally be booming.

In addition to selling these materials at various intersections, people are also sold along the streets in villages and towns outside.

This is the most stupid way.

Linlin took out her dowry silver at the bottom of the box, and asked people to go to Suzhou and Yangzhou to buy the local silk as quickly as possible, and buy half and give half away in the capital.

Buy five get one free, buy five feet get one free, buy five feet get one free, who has ever seen this kind of thing, many people come to make fun of it, and after the fun, they will buy some, and some even buy it with others, in short Everything is booming.

Even if some ruffians come, those guards in plain clothes will come out to settle it.Naturally, someone from the government will solve the problem.

Linlin also named her temporary business name "Yunsheng".

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, it took me a whole day to practice and calculate the accounts, and I made a net profit of 20 taels of silver.

To put it bluntly, countless manpower and material resources have been invested in it, many of which are free of cost.

For example, in terms of labor, the maids, eunuchs, guards and internal guards are used. Although each person will share some money, these are rewards for them, not remuneration, so the labor cost can be ignored.

Then there is the source of goods. Except for the ones sold from Yangzhou and Hangzhou, the others are all the fabrics at the bottom of the press box of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are rags that no one uses.

In addition, it cost some money to hire a big ship, and some money to manage the government up and down, but compared with the profit, these payments are acceptable.

Linlin summed it up, it's because she has a tough attitude towards doing business in the capital, although it is better to keep it secret, others don't know that this is the Queen's business, plus a little bit of money in the yamen, but generally speaking, no one dares to exploit Own.

Although doing business like this is a bit... But it's more enjoyable to make money.

"20 taels of silver will definitely lead to a good year, but the batch of rags from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not been sold out." The business matter has come to an end, Linlin made some calculations, and when the goods were delivered, she ordered people to buy There are a lot of New Year's goods, and they have also joined in the New Year's goods business. The ham, cakes, Shaoxing wine, seafood, etc. in the south have been shipped by two ships.Not only are the Royal New Year's goods enough, but the supply of non-staple food has also been opened up. Such a good situation cannot be wasted, and the shop will be opened after the New Year.

This year, because the qualifications of the imperial merchants have to be re-approved, there is not much final payment to be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are relatively few messy things to buy, such as the silk flowers worn by the palace maids and the rouge that the palace maids can only use once a year. There is no need to buy things.

With a sigh of relief, he kept his capital and sent the rest of the money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for filing. After drinking a few sips of tea, the emperor came in angrily.

"what happened?"

"Just now Master Kou came to me again. According to the usual practice in previous years, those ministers in the capital would go to the treasury to borrow money for the New Year, but this money is like a meat bun beating a dog. A minister borrowed it, but a few of my former subordinates took the lead to make a fuss with Mr. Kou."

This is simply a slap in the face!

Slap yourself in the face!

The emperor was furious, "These people don't think about me. There is no money in the treasury. What will I use to help the victims after the spring? I am so poor that I almost use it as pants. I can't support my wife and children. I didn't take money from the treasury. They What kind of person is that?"

"If you owe money, you have to pay it back. This matter is justified. Who has borrowed money? For those who have been borrowing and have not paid back, the emperor should send someone to remind them."

"Some people don't have the ability to pay back the money at all. Those who are able to pay back the money went to the emperor to ask for an imperial edict not long ago. The emperor forgave their debts and said that they don't have to pay back."

"Father won't forgive everyone's debts?"

"Now is not the time to discuss this..." Before the emperor finished speaking, a little eunuch peeked inside.

Coincidentally, Linlin saw her and ordered her eunuch supervisor, "Mantun, go and see who is outside?"

Mantun went out viciously, and came back after a while, "It's someone close to the Supreme Emperor. He sent an order to the imperial dining room to drink a bowl of porridge, but the imperial dining room didn't give it..."

The emperor glanced at Linlin, "Father, please don't be harsh, or people will say that we don't honor our elders."

Linlin asked Mantun, "What do you want? Is it the emperor or the imperial concubine?"

"Red date and lotus seed soup, the red date and lotus seed soup has been boiled out, but the people in the imperial dining room added a spoonful of icing sugar to it. spoonful of frosting..."

The emperor snorted, "Father doesn't eat that thing."

Taishanghuang is an absolute salty party, most of the porridge he drinks is meat porridge, and the salty taste is good.The sweet porridge that requires so much icing sugar can only be eaten by the noble concubine.Icing sugar is a rarity. Since the imperial concubine could no longer eat 64 dishes in one meal, she has changed her ways to make things difficult for Linlin, asking for what is expensive, what is in short supply, and how difficult it is...

"Why did the imperial dining room withhold her icing?"

"Because there is no icing in the imperial dining room, so I left a few spoonfuls for other masters. The Reserve Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that if the icing doesn't come tomorrow, it will come the day after tomorrow. Don't be in a hurry. Besides, our princess's cakes are all provided by icing." taste."

Linlin thought to herself, the imperial concubine has become fat like this. She is so fat at this age, she will inevitably suffer from high blood sugar, and now she has to add so much icing sugar.

Don't tell me if you know it, anyway, Linlin doesn't like this noble concubine, and every day there will be a little demon moth, and she will be disgusting if she is not angry.

"Give it to her. All the icing will be given to the Grand Concubine. Just tell me what I said. When the icing arrives in two days, send a jar to the Grand Concubine first."

"Come back, leave the icing sugar behind, no matter if it's a queen or a princess, whoever wants to eat can't do without icing sugar." The emperor refused to give it, and stared at Linlin with a green face:

"Why do you lower your head? What kind of thing is she? Putting it in an ordinary family, she is just an old aunt who dares to show off her power with the head wife. She doesn't know who she is. This palace is considered the master of the house." Apart from the two empress dowagers, our husband, wife and children, what are you doing to her!"

Linlin's little idea is very simple, that is to let the imperial concubine eat icing sugar until she becomes diabetic.

"If you don't give it, then don't give it. Send someone to tell the imperial concubine that it is really gone today. When the new one comes tomorrow, give her two jars first."

The emperor was still a little angry, but Linlin patted his hand, "She is just an old woman in the harem, such a person is taken care of by me, so why are you angry. The loss of honor is not worth the gain if you care about it. Let her eat first." , wait for me to free up my hand, and then I will deal with her."

After the emperor heard this, he sat blankly for a while, "My Cui family's country will not be defeated for a while, I will learn from the empress and tolerate them for a while."

He gritted his teeth when he said the last few words, looking very angry.

Even if you get angry again, this day will continue. In a few days, it will be the first day of the new year, and the husband and wife will get up in the early morning.

The emperor was still able to tidy up slowly, but Linlin had to pay respects to the emperor and the two empress dowagers early. After the greetings, she and the empress dowagers would be worshiped by the wives in the main hall of the harem.

When Linlin was about to go out, the emperor seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I forgot one important thing in this busy time. Not long ago, your father wrote a letter to say hello, saying that he misses you very much and wants to go back to the capital to pay pilgrimage. Counting the days, it's time to arrive."

Linlin didn't feel very happy after hearing this. Others didn't know, but she knew that Lin Ruhai's body was not in good shape. Driving on the water in winter was not a good thing for his body.

"Since you want to come back, then let him come back." Linlin said and led her out of the Tonghua Palace in a mighty way. Give more herbs.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace gates opened before dawn, men went to the front court, and women came to the main hall of the harem.

The first ones are always the princesses and princesses, followed by the concubines of the palaces, then the wives of the mansions of the princes and uncles, and finally those wives whose husbands have no titles.

Jia Min mixed in with a group of gray-haired husbands and wives.Lin Ruhai is Cheng Engong, and Jia Min came to congratulate her as a concubine for the first year. In previous years, she was not qualified to enter the palace. Today, the old ladies who are about to lose their teeth will pay respects behind them.

The eunuch shouted "Get up", Jia Min quickly stood up and helped the old lady of the Jia family in front of her.

The female relatives of these families could not be neglected, even the empress dowager who had always had a stinky face said a few soft words.

When it was time for lunch, Asahi was not over.

Others could leave directly, but Jia Min was left behind.

The mother and daughter met in private, and before Jia Min bowed down, Hei Niu and Bai Niu hurried up to support her.Pulling her to the first chair next to Linlin, surrounded by servants from the Lin family, Jia Min felt relaxed after seeing it.

"How is the empress in the palace?"

"Well, eat well and sleep well. What does mother do for fun at home recently? How is my brother, how is my sister? I heard that my father is back. Did you invite the doctor to come to the house after he came back? Take a boat on the water in winter , I don’t know if I have a cold, if I don’t take medicine in the past few days, let my father drink more ginger soup.”

After Linlin's series of inquiries, Jia Min regained the feeling of getting along with mother and daughter back then.

"It's all good. My wife's health is good, and the two children in the family are also good. Although the master coughed a few times, it happened in previous years. The doctor visited the house and prescribed some medicines. A few days ago After drinking it, I stopped coughing... There is a new boy in the family, and he is in good health."

This should be the child born to Aunt Zong.

"Since everything is fine, I can rest assured that I am in the palace. I have prepared some things for the past few days, and I will take them away with my mother when she goes out. After a few days, when the weather is warmer, my mother will hand over the sign to enter." Gong begged to see you, and brought my younger sister with me, all I was thinking about was her... Mother didn't bind her feet, did she?"

"Look at what the lady said... no, since the lady went out, she has been a little unhappy. She has been thinking all day to bring the lady back. After the master came back these two days, she was happier."

After finishing speaking, he hesitated to speak, "You shouldn't ask your mother about the small things in Li's house, but Daiyu lived with her since she was a child, so it's okay to ask her about some things. Grandpa Jia Baoyu, the minister's wife looks quite spiritual..."

"Could it be that you want to get married to their family?" Linlin shook her head, "I heard from the imperial physicians in the palace that marriage between cousins ​​is not good for offspring. Mother, don't even think about marrying your younger sister to your uncle's house. At that time, if there is any defect in the heir, wouldn't mother regret it?"

"This..." Jia Min never thought that there would be such a reason to reject his proposal today. "Since the empress said so, the ministers will not mention this matter in the future." After finishing speaking, she looked at Linlin's stomach worriedly.

Linlin subconsciously covered her stomach with both hands, "It's okay to tell my mother about something, I haven't changed my clothes for two months, if the days are good, I should be conceived in the month of marriage."

Never heard of such a big event, Jia Min quickly stood up, "Have you told the emperor?"

Linlin shook her head, "We'll talk about it when we're done working these few days."

In a few days, the Huaxin Daluobo will start the election of concubines.

Choose!When the time comes, I will show you my methods!
