Chapter 399
If you don't have money, you can afford to support these soldiers.Then he smiled at the white jade-like little face of the real sister who was opposite, and it was cheaper to raise a real sister than to raise soldiers.

Sister Zhen put forward a reasonable suggestion, which was not approved by Zhao She, and she didn't think she should be discouraged.It's just that I have always had this thought in my heart, so I said it today.It is not surprising that Zhao Amnesty disagreed, in Sister Zhen's opinion.

The next day the husband and wife got up and had breakfast. Sister Zhen, who was wearing a light red rain silk embroidered jacket with water birds and brocade, was sitting in the room, looking outside from time to time, and then at the faces of the maids.

Seeing them as usual, sitting with them on the small twig on the ground, no one invited her to take care of things, and no family members invited her to sit in the small housekeeping hall.

The real sister didn't ask, not because she wanted to be lazy.But for the daily use of such a large palace, it must be a large sum of money for him to manage.In a hurry to take care of it, it seemed that he didn't believe Zhao She.

She was sitting relaxed and leisurely, holding in her hand a sword bag that she had made in Beijing and hadn't finished yet, it was Zhao She's.

Not a rusher, he leisurely made a few stitches and chatted with the maids.It is extremely relaxing to take two sips of fragrant tea, put an olive in it, and then pick it up and do a few stitches with the needle.

In the middle of leisure, the girls outside the room replied: "The butlers are here."

Ten male and female housekeepers, big and small, came together and bowed in front of Sister Zhen with their account books in their hands: "My lord said, this is an old practice, please look at it first, and then take care of it slowly."

Sister Zhen smiled, and didn't find the dozen or so thick ledgers embarrassing.For half a day in the morning, I first listened roughly to what the housekeepers had to say.At noon, Zhao Ru came in and replied: "The prince and the adults eat together, and the princess is invited to eat by herself." Sister Zhen has become accustomed to this.

When she was not married, because she lived in the palace early, Zhenjie knew that Zhao She would have dinner with the officials under her command from time to time.

She agreed, and when Zhao Ru went out, she couldn't help chuckling.It seems that it is also beneficial to live in and understand before getting married.Let the housekeepers go back, take a nap after lunch, get up and sit in front of the open window to read the account book.

First pick up a book that says daily use.Sister Zhen opened it and read it line by line.There are hundreds of people in the family, and there is a lot of water vegetables, meat, chicken, duck, and beef for a day.There is another one, sister Zhen raised her eyebrows when she saw it, this one is dried fruit, and it costs thousands of taels to buy one time.

Dried fruit can be placed on a plate for viewing or eaten.When Sister Zhen took a closer look at dried dates and other things, she felt that it was unnecessary.That's why I called the housekeeper who was in charge of these things to ask her: "How much does the dried fruit cost for a year?" Before the housekeeper came, he was cautious and anxious.Of course, those who are in charge have oil and water. Hearing that the princess is the new housekeeper, they are afraid that she will burn the three fires of taking office on her own head.

He replied cautiously: "Dried fruits, except for the princes and concubines, the rest are for my aunt and family members. You should also use dried fruits to make snacks in the kitchen, and you should also use dried fruits to display dishes during Chinese New Year..."

Sister Zhen smiled "puchi", and said to Hong Jian: "Take the little scorpion and sit down for her." Then ordered the housekeeper who answered: "You don't have to worry, I just ask casually."

Hong Jian took the little scorpion, the housekeeper thanked her, and she felt more at ease, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I answered too carefully." Sister Zhen ordered someone to bring her a cup of hot tea, and said gently : "Speak slowly, I want to listen carefully."

The butler talked in detail for half an hour, where to buy the dried fruit, who bought it, and where it was used. The real sister let her rest for a while, and she also drank two sips of tea. Caressing the stove in his hand, he slowly lost his mind and said: "Yesterday, I had a family dinner with my cousin in the Jinyu Pavilion, and saw a fruit forest behind it. I wonder what kind of fruit it bears?"

"The princess is right. There are several gardens in the family that can bear fruit. The palace has only been built for three years. As the saying goes, it takes three years for peaches, three years for apricots, and 15 years for walnuts. Before the prince left, I also said to move The fruit tree that comes has produced fruit, and the use of the dried and fresh fruit can be less."

Sister Zhen saw her answering fluently, Wan Er then praised: "You made it very clear." He called Hong Jian, "Take a reward envelope and give this mother."

The red note was brought over, and she made fun of the housekeeper's mother: "Mom got it today, but it's the princess's first prize." The housekeeper was overjoyed, took it with both hands and kowtowed to sister Zhen: "Thank you, princess, for the reward." Sister Zhen smiled and said: " I know this column, go ahead. Excuse me, it’s cold outside, my girls are staying with me in the room, my mother is going out anyway, and call the needleworker, I have something to ask she."

The steward who was in charge of the dried fruits agreed repeatedly, and said another flattering word: "The girls in the princess' room can't stand the cold outside. It's the princess, so it's better to sit in the room and keep warm in this weather. Of course there is something to do." We ran, otherwise what else would we do."

Amid the chuckles of the girls, the mother in charge, Le Diandian, went out with a reward letter in her hand to pass on the needle money.Those in charge are all very rich, so they don't care about this reward.As Hong Jian said, what she cares about is this jackpot.

The green steward in the room was talking to Sister Zhen: "There are dignified managers in the family, all of them are small rich." Sister Zhen had heard this sentence before, and at this moment she was very interested: "Oh?"

"My lord has called many merchants for questioning since he became the queen. In our family, there are three caravans going to places like Dashi. The people in charge of the caravans only come back once every two or three years, and they all say it's hard work. But only family members who are in charge can go." The green tube explained: "Not only will the prince give you a lot of rewards once you come back, but I heard that they also have goods brought by themselves. The prince is not surprised."

Zhenjie understood a little more, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.The husband who didn't want to marry himself seemed to be a business man.

While the master and servant were talking, the maids outside replied: "Mother who in charge of needlework is here." Mama Ye and Mama Luo are also sitting in the room now.The two of them followed Zhenjieer by themselves, and only cared about Zhenjieer alone and the clothes of the girls in this room, and didn't care about anything else.
