Chapter 6

Jiang Xufeng and Wen Jing had breakfast together before leaving, and the concubines came to pay their respects, but Song Liangdi was still nowhere to be seen.

Ruan Zhaoxun couldn't help looking in the direction of the inner room, and happened to meet Wen Jing's eyes. She was embarrassed for a moment, then straightened her neck and looked back.

Wen Jing was too lazy to argue with a Zhaoxun, but Luo Zhaoxun glanced around and said, "It's really not the right time for Song Liangdi to be ill."

No one answered her words, and Wen Jing didn't speak. Ruan Zhaoxun, who was sitting on her left side, gave Luo Zhaoxun a sideways look and sneered.

Luo Zhaoxun looked awkward, looked at Qu Chenghui, Tian Fengyi, and the leisurely Du Liangdi who bowed their heads silently, and tightened the veil in his hand.

Wen Jing still has a lot of things to deal with today, so after sitting for a while, she found an excuse and left.

The crown prince got married, and everyone in the capital who could be named gave congratulatory gifts.Some are reciprocal courtesy, while others want to take advantage of this opportunity to get involved with the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Xufeng mentioned this matter last night, saying that it was nothing special, meaning that Wen Jing could just return the gift and deal with it.

Wen Jing smiled and agreed, she will do this kind of thing sooner or later.The warehouse was about to be opened in return, and Jiang Xufeng happened to hand over a chance for her to get the key.

"Eunuch Zhao and Nanny Fan in Guanlan Garden should be in charge of all these things before?" Wen Jing turned over the gift list and put it on her lap, "Lan Tiao, go to Mission Hills Garden and ask Nanny Fan to say that I got it today." So Kong invites her to tea."

Lan Tiao can talk and has a good attitude, coaxing Madam Fan to smile, she followed her to the Changchun Garden without Lan Tiao saying much.

"My maidservant pays respects to the Crown Princess Concubine."

"Please sit down, Madam." Wen Jingsu raised her hand slightly, and Zhu Yun had already prepared a low squat for Madam Fan, "Mother Fan, please come here. She is a bride, and the prince's mansion needs to consult the mother when dealing with people from all over the place."

Wen Jing's words were extremely polite, and Mother Fan was a little flattered.

"The crown princess has beaten the servants, the empress can tell you what to do, and the servants will definitely do their best."

One morning, Wen Jing and Fan Nanny finally finalized the gift return list. Fan Nanny was meticulous about everything. Wen Jing humbly asked for advice, but learned a lot.

Which family the Prince's Mansion has a good relationship with, which one has a mediocre relationship, and which one can't even touch the threshold of the Prince's Mansion, this time Wen Jing knows all about it.

"Mammy has worked hard. Meals are prepared in the side room. Mammy can leave after eating." Wen Jing folded the return list and smiled in a good mood.

"Hey, thank you, Madam Crown Princess." Mother Fan was also happy, the Crown Princess was intelligent and modest, and she would not pretend to understand.She felt relieved, regardless of other things, just speaking of this temperament, there is no comparison in the backyard.

Mammy Fan ate her food and brought back a box of snacks when she got a reward.

After lunch, Lan Qian was eager to try it, with a little excitement: "Servant, let Nanny Fang take the key."

"No hurry," Wen Jing elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and picked up a cup of Xiaoshi tea, "It's not that there are still a few account books that I haven't read, let's read them all."

After reading the account book for more than an hour, Wen Jing rubbed the center of her brows tiredly.Just looking at the accounts, Mother Fang can also be called a good accountant, remembering exactly where every money is spent.If it wasn't for Wen Jing's careful inspection, he might be fooled.

The previous three accounts were basically expenditures for kitchen purchases or sundries, and each account was suspected of being a premium.For example, the current price of a catty of white rice is about five to six renminbi, and the money here naturally refers to copper coins.

The tribute rice from the south of the Yangtze River that the prince's mansion feeds to the masters is not only supplied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also purchased by the mansion.The price of tribute rice is much higher than that of ordinary white rice, but at around [-] yuan, it is the most expensive tribute rice on the market.

And the price of tribute rice recorded in Fang Nanny's account is as high as [-] yuan per catty, which is twice as high.

The remaining accounts are the regular expenses of the concubine's room in the backyard, as well as the personnel treasury.It was even more extreme than the previous three books. The Ministry of Internal Affairs only sent cases for Liangyuan and above, and the rest of the cases for concubines were issued by the Prince's House itself.

According to the rules, Emperor Liang's case is 30 taels of silver, plus five pieces of cloth, a set of jewelry, tea, fruit, supplements and so on.

Liangyuan is 25 taels of silver, and has a little less stuff.According to these rules, the mansion pushed down one by one, and Tian Fengyi only had ten taels of silver, two hairpins, and three taels of tea.

According to Nanny Fang's accounts, Tian Fengyi had 20 taels of silver and a lot of things.

Wen Jing looked at it these days, Tian Fengyi didn't seem to have a lot of money, and the jacket and skirt were frayed.

"Your Majesty, is this Nanny Fang stretching her hands too much? The servants have inquired, and there are actually two first-class stewards in the backyard. Madam Liu came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she entered the mansion earlier than Nanny Fang. After Nanny Fang took over the affairs of the backyard, Nanny Liu was squeezed out, and now she only takes care of some miscellaneous things." Lan Tiao frowned, and Nanny Fang almost wanted to walk sideways in the mansion because she was someone close to the empress.

"So, now everything in the backyard is in the hands of Nanny Fang? Didn't the extra money go into her pocket alone?"

Wen Jing squinted her eyes. She chatted with Nanny Fan in the morning. The Mission Hills Garden is well-organized. Compared with the backyard, it is like two worlds.

Was it Jiang Xufeng's intentional indulgence?I don't want to confront the queen directly, and then wait for her, the princess, to come in and deal with it.Tsk, whether she thinks too much or not, Nanny Fang will definitely deal with it.

Forget it, she just made a "knife".

"Lan Qian, Lan Tiao, go and get the keys to the warehouse from Nanny Fang, and just say that I want to return the gift. If she refuses, you can give her the list and ask her to follow the above preparations. It will be sent out tomorrow. If it's delayed, I'll just ask her." Wen Jing didn't have that much patience to deal with Nanny Fang, she had too few people at her disposal, and there must be someone competent to get Nanny Fang down.

Wen Jing's orders on the surface are not afraid that Nanny Fang will follow her yin and yang, and if she does not do well, she will pass the handle to Wen Jing.

"Zhuyun, try to get in touch with Nanny Liu recently to see if she can use it." Wen Jing took the personnel booklet and handed it to Zhuyue, and asked her to look at some second- and third-class stewards , filter out some that can be used.

After finishing this, it was already dusk outside, and people came from the dining room, waiting for Wen Jing to order.

There was no movement at Guanlan Garden all day, and no one came to report. I think Jiang Xufeng will not come tonight.

Wen Jing ordered one or two of her favorite dishes, and added fried sliced ​​bamboo shoots and pigeon soup with fresh bamboo shoots. This season is when bamboo shoots are eaten, and Wen Jing prefers this one.

As soon as the menu was put down, the father-in-law Dongqing from Guanlan Garden came. Dongqing is Zhu Zhan's apprentice. It's nothing important. He is the one who spreads the word on weekdays.

"Greetings to the princess and concubine." Dongqing said thousand.

"Get up." Wen Jing smiled.

"Your Highness wants your servant to send a message to your empress, saying that you are going to a banquet tonight, and you can't accompany your empress for dinner. Let your empress use some good ones. If there is anything you want to eat, your highness will bring it back for you." Dongqing spoke neatly, with a smile on her face. There are also two small dimples, which look festive.

Wen Jing's eyebrows and eyes are all bent, Jiang Xufeng really has the ability to make people feel at ease: "It's a pleasure for your highness to go to the banquet, as long as you take care of it, don't let your highness drink too much and hurt your body. I'll ask someone to prepare sober soup, and your highness will come back It's also easier to use."

"Yes, the servant will definitely bring the words, empress, don't worry." Dongqing agreed and went back to Guanlan Garden.
