Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1030 Cut You Every Minute

"Let's start!" Chu Qingyan casually ordered.

I don't know that it was Chu Qingyan's unpredictable appearance that frightened everyone, they didn't dare to play tricks, and began to report in a well-behaved manner.

"Princess, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. We don't have enough ice cubes. Do we need to buy more?" Wang Ma was the first to speak, her tone was a bit hostile, as if she didn't know how to handle inner courtyard affairs if she didn't agree. .

Chu Qingyan tapped her fingers on the table, and looked at Wang Ma indifferently, "Which room are these ice cubes mainly stored in? How much is the daily cost? What's the price outside?"

Wang Ma had already prepared, she replied, "It is mainly placed in the prince's and princess's room and study room, with the living room, and the places frequented by the masters. Three basins of ice cubes are needed alternately every day. Three taels of silver. In total, it will cost nearly 100 taels a month."

100 taels?Chu Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Wang Ma, how did I hear that the ice outside is not worth the price, at most it only costs 50 taels a month, is the ice you bought better in quality? Is it more heat-resistant? ?”

Layers of cold sweat broke out on Wang Ma's forehead, how did the princess know this?Didn't she just return to Beijing?And he doesn't look very old, so he's even more shrewd than forcing himself to imagine.

"My concubine doesn't know something. There are different levels of people. There are good and bad things about this thing. For the sake of the prince and concubine's daily life, the old slave bought this price." Wang Ma didn't dare to wipe off her sweat, and reluctantly followed her. The words made up a reason.

Chu Qingyan smiled gently, "Wang Ma has been in the palace for six or seven years! I believe you will not do things like buying low and cheating high."

The concubine was so clear about her details, the sweat on Wang Ma's head became denser, she nodded slightly.

"But I remember that there seems to be an ice cellar in the mansion. Has it been useless for so many years?" When Chu Qingyan said this, she was looking at Hongyi.

Hongyi was still immersed in the shock that Chu Qingyan gave her just now, felt her gaze, immediately adjusted her emotions and looked at Chu Qingyan, and said with a smile, "Because the two masters have not been in the mansion in recent years, the ice cellar It was so seldom used that it is now abandoned."

Chu Qingyan was still satisfied with this explanation, she said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Although our palace is not short of money, we can't be extravagant, so how about it, Wang Ma took people to clean the ice cellar in the past two days and reuse it Standing up, self-sufficiency can also reduce government expenses."

Although Wang Ma was not reconciled to not being able to use this matter to make a difference, but at this time she could only accept it. It was already the greatest tolerance for her that the princess did not pursue it, and saving her life was the most important thing!

So Wang Ma withdrew, and another steward stepped forward to report.

Because of the example of Wang Ma, no one dared to make things difficult any more. Who has clean hands and feet?At this time, everyone is in danger, and some regret that they have caused trouble, for fear that they will be exposed.

So, one by one, they were solved smoothly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief behind their backs, and they all sighed, don't underestimate the princess because she is young, she is slick and shrewd in everything, they should be more honest in the future, and be careful not to be caught in the pigtails.

After the matter was settled, although Hong Yi was surprised by Chu Qingyan's way of handling things, she felt even more resentful towards her in her heart.

I didn't expect that I planned this out today. Not only did I not count her, but I also helped her establish prestige in the inner courtyard. It's really hateful!

She didn't want to stay longer, she pretended to smile and prepared to leave with all the stewards.

However, at this time, Chu Qingyan spoke.

"Hongyi, don't rush away, I still have something to do."

Hong Yi had a bad premonition, she felt that she couldn't stay, otherwise something that she couldn't accept would happen.

"Princess, can I come to you later? There are still some things in the backyard that need to be dealt with by servants." Hong Yi replied with a smile, she was decent and generous, and she couldn't fault it at all.

But Chu Qingyan didn't like this, she also smiled back, "That's what I want to talk about."

Hongyi was a little puzzled, and the rest of the people looked at the two inexplicably, not knowing what the princess was going to do.

Chu Qingyan folded her hands on the table, and said to Hongyi solemnly and regretfully, "I know that you have been in the palace for at least ten years, and you have spent a lot of energy. I am also very optimistic about you, but during this time I I am disappointed in you by what I saw and heard in the palace. You have lost the ability to handle affairs as a maid in the inner court. There are so many managers who can’t make up their minds and come to me today.”

Hongyi went from being shocked at the beginning to being calm now, "What does the princess mean?"

At this time, Biyu walked in with Qingyi, Qingyi was a little dazed seeing so many people, but still bowed to the princess.

Seeing people coming, Chu Qingyan turned her eyes to Hongyi and said, "So, I am sorry to inform you that Qingyi will take over all the affairs in your hands. When you regain your energy, I will start again." Arrange for you."

All the people present, except Chu Qingyan and Biyu, looked back and forth between Hongyi and Qingyi in astonishment.

After leaving the study, Qingyi followed behind Hongyi, her face still very puzzled by the change, but at this time Hongyi had stopped, turned around and said to Qingyi with her usual expression, "I will put the things on hand later. I will leave the accounting matters to you, and if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

Qingyi nodded, then looked at Hongyi and smiled at her and left.

When she got to a place where she was not looking, Hongyi stopped, clasped one hand on the pillar, her face was extremely ugly, "What a Chu Qingyan, actually plotting against me like this! Well, well, well, if you don't let me have a good time, I won't either." You'll be fine, just wait and see!"

After venting, Hongyi restrained the insidiousness on her face, restored her gentle and virtuous appearance, and walked forward slowly.

Only Chu Qingyan and Biyu were left in the study.

"Master, this move of yours is really powerful!" Biyu praised without any effort.

Chu Qingyan smiled lightly, "This makes you admire, wait, there will be a good show later."

With that said, Bai Hu walked in from the outside.

"Princess, are you looking for an old slave?"

"That's right, it's about these ledgers." Chu Qingyan casually pointed to the ledgers on the desktop.

Bai Hu raised his eyebrows, "Have you finished reading it?" This is impossible!

"That's right, but now I need you to call these account managers over. I need to find them." Chu Qingyan looked as usual.

Although Bai Hu didn't know what she wanted to do, he still agreed. He didn't believe that she could finish all the accounts in just one day.

After a while, all the stewards were brought over by the white tiger, and they saluted Chu Qingyan lazily.

It's just that before the person could stand still, a pile of books fell down.

All screamed again and again.
