Chapter 204 016. Daughter
(Second update)
Concubine Xie sighed, her finely drawn eyebrows slightly twisted: "I heard the situation is quite dangerous. Is Guinuan okay? She is an ill-fated little girl. I like her very much, even though I can't be my daughter-in-law.
, but it’s okay to be a daughter.”
Xiao Huaiyu raised his eyebrows calmly.
"If you meet her, tell me so that she can come and sit in the palace when she is fine," said Concubine Xie.
"Okay, I will definitely convey this to you." Xiao Huaiyu suppressed his smile, "In the past few days, I have investigated many people under King Jin, and I would like to ask Concubine Xie to say a few good words for me. Don't blame him.
The imperial uncle has alienated the relationship between uncle and nephew."
Concubine Xie raised her red lips and smiled deeply: "My lord, don't worry."
When Xiao Huaiyu returned to the palace, the housekeeper stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Master, he is here."
Furong Court.
Yun Guinuan came to the accounting office to see Guo Li.
"Mr. Guo, do you have a way? I want to mortgage something valuable in exchange for money." Yun Guinuan said.
Guo Li stood up and said: "If you want to exchange mortgages for money, Lao Nu has a way, but Zhou Yi is better at this. He has handled mortgages many times before."
Zhou Yi nodded and wrote down Yun Guinuan's request.
The decoration here is exquisite, the room is warm, and the servants who serve him are also smart. He likes it here very much.
Butler Guo stood outside the accounting room, with a straight posture and neat and meticulous clothes: "Miss, someone from the palace is here."
Zhou Yi suspected that he heard wrongly: "Miss, are you serious?"
Guan Gonggong waved his hand: "That's it. The Zhang family has to go back to resume their duties. Miss Yun, please stay and say goodbye."
"Miss Yun is so lucky to be favored by His Highness Prince Rui."
It would cost a lot of money to rebuild a prince's mansion.
"Plaque of the Marquis Mansion." Yun Guinuan said, "I want to exchange it for one million taels of cash."
Yun Guinuan was surprised. She couldn't tell that Butler Guo looked very young.
Yun Guinuan twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to answer these words.
"Don't worry, miss, I will figure it out even if I don't sleep tonight." Guo Li got into the mood and didn't have time to feel sad. He picked up the abacus and started calculating.
"Miss Yun's mouth is so sweet." Eunuch Guan was coaxed happily by the people in Furong Garden. "You are here to announce the decree. Miss Yun will accept it."
Guo Li grabbed a stack of sketches on the table and drew them in great detail, including all the details.
We have to wait until he comes back to find out exactly what happened.
He called Zhou Yi over.
Yun Guinuan brought the good news back to the accounting room.
"Twelve years." Butler Guo replied respectfully.
"Miss, there is a risk in mortgaging the plaque. If you think carefully about it, I will help you arrange it tomorrow." Zhou Yi advised her and listened to her arrangement.
"Miss, do you have any instructions?" There was a perfect smile on his lips, and the curve of his lips was exactly the same every time he saw him.
Guan Gong was waiting in the banquet hall, happily drinking tea from Furong Garden.
Eunuch Guan pinched his thick and heavy purse and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Miss Yun must thank His Highness Prince Rui. His Highness asked for the reward for Miss Yun in front of His Majesty."
"What kind of wind has brought Eunuch Guan here?" Yun Guinuan came in. Eunuch Guan wanted to salute her, but she stopped her and said, "It's cold outside. Eunuch, please drink more hot tea to warm yourself up."
Guan Gonggong said that the Ministry of Revenue will send the first amount of money tomorrow, indicating that there will be a second and third amount later. The imperial edict did not say how much money to give, so she must not grab the treasury and collect it hard.
"Father-in-law, please stop drinking two cups of tea. It's cold outside. Please take care of yourself."
Yun Guinuan looked at him twice. Every time Butler Guo called her, his voice was the same, as if he had been trained. Every time he saw him, he was meticulous, neat and tidy, and he cared more about details than ordinary housekeepers.
"Last time I just said I wouldn't sell it." Yun Guinuan crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. "I just pledged it. I still have the plaque in my hand. As long as I can pay back the money on time, there will be nothing wrong with the plaque."
Guo Li wanted to speak, but remembering what happened last time, he did not dare to speak again and suppressed his blush.
But this is indeed good news. The emperor will provide her with money to repair the house, so she can do what she wants without having to work hard to earn money for the house.
Yun Guinuan received the imperial edict in confusion: "Eunuch Guan, what does this imperial edict mean?"
Guo Li looked sad and unhappy. The lady wanted to mortgage the plaque. He couldn't sleep well tonight.
Guo Li stood up with cold hands and feet, and moved to Yun Guinuan: "Didn't the lady say it was just a joke last time? The plaque of the Marquis Mansion is the honor and identity of the ancestors and cannot be mortgaged."
"Miss, I'm going to scare this old slave to death." He caressed his chest in a serious manner.
Yun Guinuan was stunned on the spot. She unfolded the imperial edict in her hand, read it over and over again, and shook her head.
While asking questions, Yun Guinuan waved for Lixia to come over and handed it to Eunuch Guan.
Yun Guinuan frowned, Xiao Huaiyu actually asked the emperor for funding for her.
I guess the budget is a big project.
"I just want to do business, can't I?" Yun Guinuan raised her eyebrows and could take another look at Guo Li, "This is the right time, I want to expand my business field."
"What do you want to mortgage, Miss? How much do you plan to exchange for it?"
"I've already thought about it, and the next time I think about it is the Chinese New Year." Yun Guinuan leaned against the table, "You spread the word first and let the big investors who plan to contribute money fight internally first. We will talk to the last remaining people.
It would be better if there is no one to compete but someone pays, and we can trade smoothly."
Yun Guinuan was stunned for a moment, then squatted down using the cover of her loose dress.
"How many years have you been a housekeeper?" With such outstanding abilities, you must be a veteran in the industry.
Xiao Huaiyu may have had a hand in the emperor's allocation of funds to rebuild the Hou Mansion, but he would never ask the emperor for this little money.
Guo Li's face turned pale again and his breathing became short.
The tone of voice is gentle and just right, not only not hiding personal emotions, but also showing the respect for the master just right.
The imperial edict stated that the emperor asked the treasury to provide money to Yun Guinuan to rebuild the Hou Mansion. The first allocation will be sent by people from the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow.
Although Zhou Yi found it strange, he was much calmer than Guo Li: "Miss, why do you want to mortgage the plaque? I have seen the house's accounts, and the expenses are sufficient, and there will be another income at the end of the month. We don't have the problem of money convenience."
Yun Guinuan walked out of the accounting room, and Butler Guo was waiting at the door.
"Miss." He called softly.
Yun Guinuan took out the design drawing he drew early in the morning and slapped it on the table: "Don't cry and look sad. When it's your time to work, I want to rebuild the Hou Mansion like this. Please help me calculate how much money it will cost and the materials it will use."
After all, the price has gone up, so tomorrow I will ask the people in the household department how much they can give me."
Yun Guinuan coughed lightly: "Send someone to the palace to ask when the prince will be back for dinner."
There has been no news for so many days.
If Concubine Xie accepts Nuan Nuan as her daughter, the hierarchy of seniority will be really messed up.
His Highness Seventh: My ex-fiancée became my aunt and my sister?
Ms. Yun, who works hard to make money, will also worry about the house payment~
