"This is for Empress Xian, and this is for Grandma." Xia Jing handed the two pieces of paper to Empress Xian and Empress Dowager You.
Empress Xian took it and laughed. The contract was written by Xia Jing, who had dictated it to her. It needed the seal of the government to be final.
However, with their power, it was easy to get the seal. The important thing was the division of the Ninth Prince's shares.
Empress Dowager You glanced at what Concubine Xian had in her hand and saw that she only had 20% while she had 30%. She drank a sip of tea with satisfaction.
This kid really cares about his grandmother the most.
"This is too much." Empress Xian shook her head and began to decline, just as Xia Jing had imagined.
The two of them were interacting with each other, it was very lively.
"This is the Ninth Prince's intention. Please accept it." said Empress Dowager You.
Xia Jing blinked. Why did he accept it? That's not how the script was written!
But it’s nothing, Empress Xian and Empress Dowager You are worth it.
He stuffed the contract into Empress Xian's arms and said, "Grandma has said so, Empress Xian, please don't push it anymore."
Concubine Xian hesitated. She had no shortage of money, nor did she intend to save much for her descendants. She wondered why Empress Dowager You would accept it herself.
"If we keep it in his hands, something bad may happen. Let's keep it and give it to him when he gets married," said Empress Dowager You.
Empress Xian suddenly realized that it was a crime to possess a treasure. Even Emperor Kangning would be coveting the money of the guilty minister's family, let alone others?
"When Jing'er gets married, I will use my silver to build a silver house for Jing'er!" Empress Xian pinched Xia Jing's nose.
Xia Jing thought that only Xue Zhixi would like this.
He replied, "Okay, make another row of silver men and put them on both sides of the door."
Concubine Xian and Empress Dowager You laughed.
After they finished laughing, Xia Jing took the three pieces of paper from Rendong and handed them to Empress Xian.
"What is this?" Empress Xian was surprised.
Xia Jing recounted in detail the conversation he had with Xue Renli this morning.
The Cining Palace, which had just quieted down, was filled with cheerful laughter again.
……
Xue family.
Old Lady Xue sat in the yard and waited for a long time, until finally Xue Zhaoju came back from school.
She grabbed Xue Zhaoju's hand and asked anxiously, "Did the Ninth Prince teach you and Xi'er to make that fragrant and white pancreas?"
Xue Zhaoju was stunned.
"Hurry up and tell me, kid."
"Are you still keeping me in suspense?"
Behind Old Madam Xue were the ladies from the other two houses, and they were very anxious.
Xue Zhaoju was completely baffled. The more baffling something was, the more he would remain silent until he figured out the whole story, and then he would take action.
This was his family's yard. He turned his head and looked at his sister Xue Zhixi. Xue Zhixi shrank her head and shook it. She didn't know what was going on.
A few hours ago, after lunch, the housekeeper came to the yard and asked her about the handmade soap. His attitude was normal, with a hint of impatience. It would be abnormal if he was impatient.
She kept the secret for the Ninth Young Master until the butler said that this was what the Ninth Young Master meant. Then she said something irrelevant to the technical points and gave the remaining handmade soap in the house to the butler.
The moment the housekeeper got the handmade soap, he was stunned, smelled it, was stunned again, drew water, washed his hands with handmade soap, looked at his hands again, smelled his hands, and was stunned for the third time.
This time it lasted longer than the previous two times combined. Xue Zhixi almost thought the handmade soap was poisonous and the housekeeper was poisoned.
She pushed the butler, and the butler jumped up like a monkey and ran out of the yard.
After a stick of incense, Old Lady Xue hurried to the courtyard and asked her about the handmade soap.
At this time, Xue Zhixi's first reaction was - what a loss!
It’s too cheap to sell it to Xue Zhenzhen!
The girl was very heartbroken after losing the silver. She didn't want to answer Old Lady Xue's questioning at all. She was also afraid that she might have said something wrong, so she pushed everything onto Xue Zhaoju.
She originally thought that Old Madam Xue would go back first, but unexpectedly not only did Old Madam Xue not go back, but Madam Song from the first house and Madam Zhao from the second house also stayed in their own yards.
She realized that this matter seemed to be of great importance.
Facing Xue Zhaoju's gaze, Xue Zhixi shook her head vigorously.
I don't know anything, I'm just a small laborer. She walked out of the yard in small steps to see why her eldest brother hadn't come back yet.
"Brother Ju, are you thinking about the past?" Madam Song from the first wife turned to look at Madam Zhao from the second wife.
Mrs. Zhao was Xue Huaiyuan's biological mother. The conflict between Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhaoju was all due to Mrs. Zhao.
Old Lady Xue thought of this, narrowed her eyes, glanced at Madam Zhao, and said coldly: "We are all here, no one will ask about the affairs of the mansion, you go and watch it."
This is to drive Mrs. Zhao away.
Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed and annoyed, but she had no choice. The handmade soap business was obviously more important than her.
She lowered her head, feeling extremely regretful.
She regretted that she had indulged her son Xue Huaiyuan and looked down on the Ninth Prince. If Xue Huaiyuan had been the Ninth Prince's study companion, this business would have been hers!
"Go!" Old Lady Xue urged.
She had a gray face and a rat-like expression and ran out of the yard.
"Come into the house first. It's inappropriate to stand in the yard." Old Lady Xue knew that there was no time to rush.
Xue Zhaoju arranged for Old Lady Xue and Madam Song to sit down and served them tea.
Several people slowly talked about the handmade soap, and Old Lady Xue asked the housekeeper to call Xue Renli.
Xue Zhaoju trusted Xue Renli very much and told him about the handmade soap.
He was puzzled. "The Ninth Prince told me earlier that he wanted to sell this handmade soap in the store. But why is he making such a big fuss?"
In his eyes, this is just a strange and clever trick, what's the importance of it?
Xue Renli's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found a confidant.
Old Madam Xue shook her head and did not explain in detail. She only said that the old man had submitted his resignation, the financial situation of the mansion was not optimistic, and many of the previous income had changed.
The Xue family loves to show off, and how can showing off not cost money like water?
At the urging of Old Lady Xue, Xue Zhaoju and Xue Renli went to the Ninth Prince's courtyard, moved out the utensils, and performed handmade soap making for Old Lady Xue alone in a closed room.
Old Lady Xue came out relieved and smiled happily.
"I wonder how the Ninth Prince has arranged it?" Mrs. Song asked about the dividends.
The housekeeper said, "Eunuch Tian didn't say anything, he just said he would leave 10% for Master Ju's family."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song and Old Lady Xue felt relieved, and Mrs. Song also laughed.
The fact that he was able to send 10% as a study companion proved that the Ninth Prince was very generous, and he would definitely leave a lot for the Xue family.
Old Lady Xue asked Xue Renli, "What did the Ninth Prince say to you this morning?"
"Hmm..." Xue Renli thought carefully, "It seems that the Queen Mother got 30%, I forgot how much the Ninth Prince and Aunt Xianfei got, and the rest was shared by me, the Xue family, and Xiaojuzi's family."
Madam Song grasped the key point: "Since it's divided, it's the same amount. Xiao Ju... Ju Ge'er gets 10%, you get 10%, and the old lady gets 10% too!"
Mrs. Song automatically put the Xue family's share on the old lady's head.
Madam Song was delighted. Xue Renli was her child, so the tenth percentage belonged to the first wife, and the old lady's tenth percentage wouldn't go to the second wife. Xue Zhaoju had the support of the ninth prince, so he would definitely be given a share from the second wife. Moreover, the first wife had a better relationship with Xue Zhaoju than the second wife, so perhaps they could adopt him into the first wife's family.
The business hasn't even started yet, but the Xue family has already started a family feud!
Looking at the excited faces of his mother and grandmother, Xue Renli scratched his head and realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake.
He took small steps toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Old Lady Xue noticed his little action. "Why do you look so guilty? Have you done something bad again?"
As she spoke, Old Lady Xue smiled and was not angry. Xue Renli was a great contributor to the Xue family, so it was normal for him to make some mistakes.
Mrs. Song also smiled and said, "Whatever mistake you made, now is the best opportunity to confess. I and the old lady will protect you. Even if you embezzled your father's private money, you don't have to be afraid!"
"Really?" Xue Renli's eyes lit up.
"How can I lie to you?" Old Lady Xue picked up the tea bowl and said, "Tell me, I promise you'll be fine!"
Xue Renli was afraid they would regret it, so he immediately said, "The Ninth Prince wants to divide shares between me and the Xue family. I thought to myself, my grandmother said that I should serve the Ninth Prince sincerely, and my mother also taught me the same thing."
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Song noticed something was wrong, their smiles faded, and they asked, "And then?"
"Since you are sincere, there is no need to ask for compensation. So I wave my hand and say that my Xue family does not want any shares or dividends!" Xue Renli said righteously.
"..."
Outside the house, Mrs. Zhao came quietly to eavesdrop, but she only heard deathly silence.
Just as I was wondering, the room suddenly became lively like a boiling pot.
"Beat you to death, you loser!"
"Brother Ju, help me get that broom!
"Oh, Mom! You just said you would protect me!"
"Oh, grandma, you can do it, but put down the tea bowl. The tea is scalding and it hurts your grandson!"
"It hurts so much, you bastard!"
……
In Fuqing Palace, Empress Xian was shaking with laughter as she took the report from the servants of the Xue Mansion.
After finally stopping her laughter, she took a sip of tea and turned to look at the three contracts on the table.
These are the two copies from Xue Renli and the Xue family, as well as Xue Renli's receipt, which the Ninth Prince gave her in the afternoon.
Chapter 139: Can a Good Head Be Replaced?
Xia Jing didn't know how lively the Xue family was, but he knew that Xue Zhixi's wish had come true.
When the interface popped up, Xia Jing was selling her body - in the arms of Empress Dowager You, seeking a backdoor - to approve a loan for Ning Zhixing's glass workshop.
The cost of the colored glaze workshop was not small. Although Ning Zhixing and Xia Jing requisitioned the land and manpower of the Crafts Supervisor, embezzled the relevant raw materials and tools of the Crafts Supervisor, and secretly broke into the Crafts Supervisor's technical department to steal colored glaze technical information, which greatly saved costs, after more than ten days, Ning Zhixing's small treasury was still burned up.
The Chief Craftsman is overwhelmed and is using his connections to sue the Fourth and Ninth Princes for misusing public property for personal gain and embezzling palace assets!
This matter reached the ears of Empress Dowager You, the vice-chairperson of the board of directors, and she asked Xia Jing.
Xia Jing took advantage of the situation and explained the market difficulties to Empress Dowager You, envisioned the future of the project, and then complained that the entrepreneurial environment in the imperial palace was too poor and unfriendly to young entrepreneurs. Not only were there no subsidies, but they couldn't even get loans!
Under his persuasion, Queen Mother You decided to invest in a glass workshop and with a stroke of her pen, she ordered the Chief Craftsman to fully cooperate with the careers of the Fourth and Ninth Princes.
It was already late at night when Xia Jing walked out of the Cining Palace. He looked at the moon in the sky, touched his stomach which was full from eating too much cakes, recalled how he rolled around in Empress Dowager You's arms, and sighed.
Honeysuckle asked, "Why is the master sighing?"
Xia Jing sighed: "It's really not easy to socialize at work!"
He patted Rendong's shoulder and said, "I hope you can work hard and make progress. Don't be like me, who can only rely on snacks and acting like a spoiled child to attract investment."
The little palace maid didn't understand what the Ninth Prince was saying. While the Ninth Prince was entertaining guests, she was in the room behind the rear hall, discussing ideas with the Wu ladies from the Cining Palace.
But she could guess what the Ninth Prince meant. Eating snacks was fine, but acting like a spoiled child was too much of a test to her self-esteem. She couldn't do it. The Ninth Prince had worked so hard for Jingyixuan. It was so difficult!
She felt guilty and walked to Xia Jing and squatted down: "I will carry the master back."
This stupid kid.
Xia Jing coughed: "It's not to this extent."
"Let's go," he changed the subject, "Mom must be getting anxious."
On the way back, he took a look at the wish paper crane reward.
【Wish fulfilled】
Obtain "Blank Design - Large"
It turned out to be this thing.
