Chapter 285 Marriage
"The princess is kind and can be so compassionate to the true blessings of the servants." Mrs. Quan Si was very disappointed, but she still had to praise her with a smile on her face. After all, she did not give up. After thinking about it, she suggested, "But these people may not know how to manage. If they are good at a good shop, wouldn't they live up to the princess' good intentions? Otherwise, they would have joint operations with people who know how to do business, and in this way, they would have guaranteed all aspects."
"Auntie, these people are not servants, but relatives who have made contributions to the royal family." Su Yiqing whispered to point out the mistakes of Mrs. Quan Si's words. Before Mrs. Quan Si had time to say anything, the topic changed again. "But what my aunt said makes sense, so let them try it first. It's just a small business. If it's really not good, it's recommended that they join the shares with others. Otherwise, they can do it alone, and they don't know each other, and it's difficult to get along with each other and make things unhappy, but it's not beautiful. Auntie, do you think?"
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Quan Si nodded awkwardly.
Su Yiqing gently stroked the warm teacup in her hand, smiled and said, "I am a little interested in the business that my aunt said about combining stocks and doing business. I heard my mother say something before. When a noble lady in the city is bored, she either uses a dowry shop or private money to join the company to run a small business of needles, threads, brains, rouge and pollen with others to pass the time. I want to try it myself, but I don't know if my aunt is interested or has any good suggestions?"
"Yes, of course, I don't know how big the princess wants to do?" Mrs. Quan Si's eyes lit up. This was much stronger than what she had originally thought, so she blurted out without thinking. After realizing that she was too anxious, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed again. The new Princess Ding's words changed too quickly, which made people not have time to react, and she lost the cleverness of the past.
Su Yiqing didn't care, but felt that Mrs. Quan Si still had a bit of true nature, but instead added a bit of favor to her. She always stayed away from those who could not show their emotions before the collapse of Mount Tai, so she continued, "My aunt was joking. How could I do a big business, as a woman? Since I am passing the time, I don't expect to make any big money. I have an idea. Auntie will see if it's feasible?"
"Princess, please tell me." Mrs. Quan Si tried hard to suppress her excitement this time and did not dare to be too anxious.
Su Yiqing gently stroked the teacup in her hand and smiled Yanyan: "I'm not hiding it from my aunt. After taking over the royal palace, I found that there were too many things in the warehouse in the mansion. Antique porcelain and other things can be preserved for a long time. Those brocade cloth, rouge and water powder, are either outdated or attracted insects after being stored for a long time, and they can't use most of the things. They also have to take them to pawn shops and other places outside to exchange for money. This thing of ten taels of silver can be exchanged for at most five taels. I was wondering if the mansion exchanged these things for money and directly gave them red envelopes to them. But this matter is not good to make a big fuss, so that people who don't know the inside story will make random guesses. They should open a few shops to purchase goods by themselves, and add some things that are not available in the mansion."
"The princess is polite to the servants. This idea is indeed good. If the princess rest assured, I will do it and keep it properly." After a moment of pondering, Mrs. Quan said with a smile, but was extremely shocked. The method of this illegitimate daughter of the Meng family was too strong. She had just married into the royal palace for a few days and dared to tell someone who was not very familiar to her that she wanted to sell the property of the royal palace. Although the statement was unreasonable, everyone knew that it was very oily and water. It was not bought for a piece of brocade anyway. Who could tell me whether it was ten taels or one taels to sell it? Now it was talking about rouge and water powder and brocade cloth that were not easy to preserve, but after it was made, who could check the calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, etc.?
Does Prince Ding know about this? I can't hide this kind of thing, and I know that I'm so indulging in it? Do you really like this princess or have other intentions?
Su Yiqing nodded. She was not afraid that Mrs. Quan Si would cheat her. She didn't dare to borrow Mrs. Quan's 100 courage. She was afraid that the Quan family would want to curry favor with those fragments and those who couldn't sell them at a good price. They would pay for the money themselves.
Mrs. Quan's purpose was naturally happy. She didn't really want to do any business, and the business she did with the princess could not be promoted everywhere, but she just wanted a reason to come to the palace often and say it decently. The members of the Quan family dared not bully her in this room easily.
In the evening, after Lian Yufeng returned to his room, Su Yiqing told him about this.
Lian Yufeng smiled and said, "This is not bad. Only Mrs. Quan's mouth is important. Don't show off everywhere. If you steal things from the mansion and sell them for private money, it's not that I will pursue them. It's just that you're still wearing a human skin and having a good reputation is always more convenient to act, so as not to make people catch up on the things that make people feel troubled. In addition, don't make all silver for the servants' rewards, or everyone likes silver. Some things are not easy to buy outside. It's good to exchange for higher prices or give gifts for gifts. In this way, everyone will give them silver. But everyone has a share, it's best to have a share, with silver, cloth, silk jewelry, whatever they want."
"Hey, you're more thorough in thinking and avoiding all criticism." Su Yiqing said in convincingly, "It's worthy of being a resident of the officialdom, and everything is inclusive."
Lian Yufeng raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Prevent the problem from scratch and avoid being the first to be a bird. It makes sense to speak a little bit ugly."
Su Yiqing then smiled and said, "I also want to find something for the maids in the mansion to do something so that they will not be careful all day long. It seems that it will not work. Others don't have such rules."
Lian Yufeng frowned: "Do you want to let them take charge of flowers, plants, and make some flower dew, flower tea and other things like you did in the Princess' Mansion? "
Su Yiqing nodded, "Yes, there are so many strange flowers and plants in the royal palace, and they are withered. It's a pity that many of them are precious medicinal materials. You are not short of this amount of money for the Dingwang, but the servants are short of it, and find more things for them to do so as not to cause trouble."
"This is absolutely not possible." Lian Yufeng's face suddenly became serious, and a cold feeling appeared in an instant, "You must not move the Princess's Mansion here. I mean, you cannot make people think you are too similar."
Su Yiqing was stunned at first, then touched her face, her eyes dim: "I know, I didn't expect this for a moment, but this face is so long here. If someone sees it... I mean, what if there is one day...?"
During this period, she deliberately dressed up gorgeously and exquisitely. She occasionally met with guests and made-ups, just to avoid any association. Although there was very little movement between countries and countries in ancient times, now in the Cold War period, and there was no diplomacy. Besides, she had been living in seclusion back then. In addition to the people in Yuanping Bo’s mansion and the servants of the Princess’ mansion, she had very little contact with the outside world and not many people knew her. Even if she had a chance to meet once, her appearance had changed a little. It was unlikely that she could recognize her just by meeting her, but even one-tenth chance could not take this risk.
These days, she has been worried about this issue, but she dared not raise it, for fear that her current happy life would be broken by one in ten thousand possible. Even the tits seemed to be trying to expose something. She was really afraid.
"Don't worry too much." Lian Yufeng gently held Su Yiqing's hand, feeling her hand was a little cold, so he held it hard to comfort her, "So what? What's the evidence? As long as the parties involved do not admit it, Meng Ye and his wife insist that there would be no such thing. Looking like their ex-wife can also become a reason for me to marry a concubine with a low status. That is, one day, the evidence is conclusive, and I have a way to deal with it. Believe me, with my current status, I will not be able to protect my wife. It's just that more things are worse than less. You should pay more attention to it on weekdays."
Holding his hand was very warm. Inexplicably, Su Yiqing's heart calmed down and said, "I believe you, I will pay attention."
Seeing that she was feeling a little depressed, Lian Yufeng thought about it and teased, "Are you afraid that those little maids will seduce your husband?"
Su Yiqing turned her face away and said angrily, "I don't have it."
Lian Yufeng smiled slightly and said with a relaxed tone: "No matter whether this happens or not, since this matter is caused by my husband, I will find a way. There are many maids in the mansion, and some of them should be married. When they are old, they will inevitably ignore the thoughts before the marriage is settled. Just in time, I took in many military orphans in the mansion. Some of them are older, so I let them get married and then send them out to make a living."
Su Yiqing turned her face and hesitated: "Aren't the orphans nothing? The maids in the royal palace are afraid that they are a little taller and do not look down on them?"
From the maid who is not touched by the spring water, who is as good as a lady's food and clothing, to marrying an orphan, you have to do everything by splitting materials and carrying water. No maid wants to make a happy event that seeks death and becomes a bad thing. Even if you can barely get married, the couple can fight every day, which will harm those orphans who long for the warmth of their families.
Even Yufeng is a man, not as emotional as Su Yiqing, and said directly: "Who is not like this? Every time the army wins and returns to the court, some young generals who have made contributions will release some palace maids to marry him. The number of palace women is not enough, and some maids are sent to the bridal chamber. Most of those people are rude soldiers, but they have made some military achievements with their brute force. Some are still older and even have a bit of disability. The maids and maids of the palace are not willing to marry and cry, but they have never heard of a few that really can't survive after becoming a relative. There are also the maids in the mansion that are the most inferior servants and maids in the mansion are even simpler to match. The maids stand back to back in a row and turn to face whoever they are." (To be continued...)
