Chapter 239

Ouyang Fu, the second wife, said: "my daughter-in-law has heard that the sea trade is not going well this year. First, there are typhoons and then pirates. Every ship has suffered different losses. This year's harvest of farmhouses and shops is basically the same as that of last year, and even slightly more than that of last year. But because of the heavy losses in the sea trade, this year's income is only 20% less than that of last year. "

Pei's income from going through the account book again and turning to the income of Haimao is indeed significantly less than that of previous years in her memory.

"Why didn't this matter be reported to my princess in time?"

Ouyang Fu looks at Xiao qin'er.

Xiao qin'er opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment, then said, "the daughter-in-law is worried about disturbing her mother's concubine, so she didn't let the cashier report."

"Ridiculous!"

Pei left the account book and looked at Xiao qin'er.

"What do you want to do? A worry about disturbing the princess, can this matter be explained? Who is in charge of the whole palace? You don't know? Before the wings grow hard, if you dare to take charge of this princess, who will give you the courage? "

As soon as Pei's temper came up, he didn't care whether Xiao qin'er was Liu Yi's wife or not.

Xiao qin'er blushed. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a place to go.

It's a shame.

Shen side imperial concubine and Luo side imperial concubine exchanged a look, saw the smile from each other's eyes.

To Gu Jiu, that is not a smile, that is clearly schadenfreude.

Shen side imperial concubine said in a voice: "the princess, please don't be angry. She is kind-hearted and does bad things. She only wants to be filial to the princess and her mother, but she forgets to do things in a priority way. Please forgive her this time. Young people, it is inevitable that things are not thoughtful. After a few more practice, you will know how to do something similar in the future. "

Pei Shi glared at Xiao qin'er, very dissatisfied, "hear not, Shen side imperial concubine is saying good words for you, you also don't know to say thank you."

Xiao qin'er was ashamed and angry. She got up and faced Shen side's imperial concubine and blessed her body. "Thank you for your kind words."

Shen side imperial concubine covers mouth shallow smile, "discuss madam to sit down quickly. Don't blame the princess. She's also for you. Such a big thing, the princess is in charge of the family, but she finally knows that it should not be. Don't make the same mistake again

Xiao qin'er is extremely aggrieved and her tears are coming down.

She nodded and said, "I know, I won't dare next time. Please forgive me this time

Princess Pei snorted coldly, "this time when you are the first offender, this princess will not investigate. If you dare to hide it next time, you don't need to assist the housekeeper. Take care of the things in your yard first. "

Xiao qin'er's face turned white, and her lips trembled and said, "my daughter-in-law obeys."

Xiao qin'er, who had been wronged for the first time since she married into the palace, shed tears.

Ouyang Fu bowed her head and laughed, and secretly exchanged a look with Shen side imperial concubine.

Xiao qin'er thought that if she robbed her job, she would be able to go with the wind and water. She said no two in the palace. It was just a dream.

Gu Jiu slightly droops his head and pays attention to the reaction of the two sisters in law.

When she saw the smile in Ouyang Fu's eyes, she also laughed.

Sure enough, there is no simple character in the palace. Everyone has an abacus in his mind, calculating his own interests.

Did Xiao qin'er intend to conceal this from the very beginning?

Or did someone give her the inspiration to make this ridiculous and bold decision?

Gu Jiu has no way to know.

But I also know that it is not until Xiao qin'er gets the limelight this time.

Pei's daughter-in-law has been working hard for the past two years

Ouyang Fu bowed down to accept the order, with a satisfied face.

After a pause, Pei looked at Gu Jiu again.

She has two sons, Liu Zhao and Liu Yi. Two daughter-in-law, one Xiao Qin Er, one Gu Jiu.

Xiao qin'er has made a mistake this time, and Pei intends to leave her out for a while.

After thinking about it, he ordered Gu Jiu's name, "eldest daughter-in-law, you and the second daughter-in-law prepare for the lunar new year one by one."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law."

Gu Jiu was surprised that Pei would call her name.

She also thought that if Pei hated her, she would always be left out and never let her be a housekeeper.

She also plans to take half a year's leisure, and wait until next year to find a suitable opportunity to roll on her sleeves and grab back her own glory.

I didn't expect that just a few days into the door, Pei called her name. Although he is an associate manager, it is also a first step.

It's just that all her previous opportunities have to be overturned.

What kind of leisure for a year and a half seems impossible now.

Pei Shi also said to Xiao qin'er, "the fourth daughter-in-law, do your job well. You don't have to ask about other things for the time being."

Xiao qin'er nods wrongly, "daughter-in-law listens to the mother's concubine."She wanted to make a show during the Chinese New Year and let everyone see her housekeeper. But I didn't expect that if I was careless, I would lose all of them.

To prepare for the new year's day, she snatched it from Ouyang Fu's hand. Unexpectedly, the errand finally returned to Ouyang Fu's hands.

What's more, the princess ordered Gu Jiu's name and asked Gu Jiu to prepare for the Spring Festival.

She'll lose face when it gets out.

At the thought of being criticized and talked about by the people below, Xiao qin'er felt that she had no face to be a man, and she was so miserable that she would never come out to see people again.

Shen side imperial concubine smile way: "Princess empress this disposition, extremely appropriate, concubine body shame inferior."

Princess Pei's smile, indifference, to Shen side princess said: "I know your skills, but now we are old, we should let young people practice."

"What the princess said is that it is really necessary for young people to practice more."

Shen side imperial concubine a smiling face, everywhere flatters Princess Pei, coax Princess Pei's extremely happy.

After the work was finished, everyone got up to say goodbye and were busy.

"Second brother and sister."

Gu Jiu stops Ouyang Fu.

Ouyang Fu looked back and said with a smile, "what does sister-in-law call me?"

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "the princess's wife asked me to assist in the affairs of the Chinese New Year. I came to ask the second younger brother and sister for scriptures."

Ouyang Fu covered her lips and laughed, "sister-in-law is really joking. I'm also slowly groping. If I don't understand, I'll ask the princess or the two concubines."

Liu Ping, the second childe, was born to Shen Bian Fei, so Ouyang Fu and Shen Bian Fei are the orthodox mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Of course, for this level of relationship, Gu Jiu does not use the theory for the time being.

She took Ouyang Fu's hand. "Shall we go to the Council hall together?"

"I listen to my sister-in-law."

"If I don't understand something, I'll ask my second younger sister to teach me."

"I dare not. Let's explore and learn together."

"I didn't expect that the palace would still be a sea trade." Gu Jiu asked the most concerned questions.

"The sea trade has made considerable profits. Many people in the capital have taken part in the sea. By the way, such as Pingnan Hou Gu's family, he also participated in the sea trade. "

Hou's house also does sea trade?

It's the first time Gu Jiu heard about it.

She asked curiously, "is the ship our own or the boatman's in the sea trade

Ouyang Fu took aim at Gu Jiu and said, "my sister-in-law is so interested in the sea trade. Can't she want to use the dowry silver as a share?"

Gu nine ha ha ha a smile, "I pour is to think, how come the dowry silver is limited, can dare not throw to the sea. I'm just curious. "

"My sister-in-law is right. Because of the high risk at sea, we will not participate in it."

Gu Jiu asked again: "my sister-in-law hasn't told me about sea going ships. I always hear people say that sea ships are very large, and it costs tens of thousands of Liang to build a sea boat. After that, we have to pay extra for maintenance every year. "

Ouyang Fu nodded, "that's nature. A decent sea boat can't be bought without thirty or forty thousand taels.

It's like the biggest sea boat, at least about 100000 taels.

Some of the big families in the capital buy their own ships for business, and some families get together to buy a sea boat. There is also cooperation with the shipping company, renting the ship to run the sea.

However, in recent years, the imperial court began to pay attention to the sea trade, and those who were related to it sailed out on the imperial ship. It's just that the navy of the imperial court is not good at fighting. It's not as good as the ship's escort when it comes to pirates. "

Gu Jiu hears the speech and thinks deeply.

Ouyang Fu pulled Gu Jiu, "sister-in-law, we don't talk about this. A few more days will be the new year, and today we have to prepare a lot of things. "

Gu Jiu nods.

Her heart was full of blood and yearned for the sea.

She is not only greedy for the high profits of sea trade, but also wants to find a way out for herself.

Ghost just know another day, Ning Wang mansion will fall.

Even if the Ning palace will not fall, who can know whether Liu Zhao will fall?

Since ancient times, it is rare for the first son to succeed to the throne of emperor.

Few of them have left a name in history.

The emperors who really had great achievements were all killed out of the sea of corpses and blood.

Liu Zhao is the legitimate eldest son. According to the tragedy theory of the legitimate eldest son of the royal family, Gu Jiu is not optimistic.

So she had to find a way out for herself, a way to survive.

Going to sea is the best choice.

It's just that the cost of sea going ships is too high to make Gu Jiu depressed.

The problem of money can be solved slowly in the future.

The key point is that she doesn't have the right person.

Sure enough, no matter in this life or in the last life, the most precious thing is still talents.

She needs a lot of loyal people to do her work.

Gu Jiu suppressed this idea for the time being, followed Ouyang Fu to the conference hall, and made official contact with the interior affairs of the palace for the first time.

There are many and miscellaneous internal affairs in the palace. There are more things than Gu's.There are hundreds more servants in the palace than in Gu's.

If you include the Grange, the shop, the officials and the bodyguards, there will be nearly a thousand more.

The affairs outside are handled by the officials of the palace.

In fact, there is also a royal family order to lead a team to deal with the internal affairs.

However, Princess Pei is not so reassured that she will ask about many things in person.

In the assembly hall, Lord Shi, the royal family order, is taking seven or eight tellers to settle accounts.

Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu arrive, and the tellers are not stopped.

The order of the royal family got up alone and saluted them.

Gu said, "no ceremony. What are you doing? "

The royal household order said: "the accounts of all places need to be calculated one by one. The benefits of the princes and princesses should also be calculated as soon as possible. There are also princes and princes who need to do another general ledger. "

Gu Jiu knows.

"This is the list of servants in the palace. Please have a look at it."

Gu Jiu nodded and took the pamphlet.

Then, the royal family order took out several account books, "this is the budget arrangement to reward the servants during the new year. The other books are the budget for each item during the Chinese New Year. Please have a look at it

As soon as Gu Jiu came, the royal family order, like the Tao family, explained everything to Gu Jiu.

Ouyang Fu's eyes twitched several times, and her mood was very complicated.

At the beginning, when she was the first assistant housekeeper, the royal family order was not like this. Just throw her an account book and let her have a look at it.

There is no list of servants, what is the annual budget.

None of this.

Two phase comparison, Gu Jiu's treatment is also too good. Even Xiao Qin can't match it.

It's business for Xiao qin'er.

Is it because Gu Jiu is the first daughter-in-law and the eldest lady, that's why the family order of the royal family will act like this?

Yes!

In the final analysis, the royal family order is the Lord's man.

Although I listen to the Royal concubine's orders, the real loyal person is still the Lord.

The attitude of the royal family order to Gu Jiu reflects the king's attitude from the side.

Ouyang Fu can't help but look at Gu Jiu more.

Gu Jiu came to the room and sat down with a blank desk.

From now on, she will be here to assist the housekeeper, understand the palace up and down.

First, she looked through the list, turning it very quickly.

Green plum, green bamboo two servant girls, also do not need to order, directly picked up the abacus, began to account.

Mother Fang is waiting on the side to introduce the people on the list for Gu Jiu.

Ouyang Fu comes in from the outside, with Xiao qin'er behind him.

Gu Jiu sweeps her eyes. Xiao qin'er's eyes are red, but she still insists on taking charge of affairs in the assembly hall.

"The fourth sister is here."

Xiao Qin Er, with a hum, sat down on the left side.

Ouyang Fu is sitting at the right desk.

Each man has his own business.

During the new year's festival, the Royal Palace first enters the palace to attend the Palace Banquet, and then the palace also prepares a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

For banquet preparation, Ouyang Fu once had experience.

However, there must be new designs this year. We can't let the guests think that they are tired of seeing all the things they have never come to the palace.

For example, at last year's banquet, the tableware was a complete set of rich peonies.

This year, we can't use the rich and noble peony any more, we have to change it into a cluster of flowers.

Another example is the flower hall where guests are treated. The screen of last year is a picture of ladies. This year, we have to change it to a bird and flower picture.

All the details should be taken into account. All the items that should be replaced should be replaced.

These things are so trivial that no mistakes can be made.

Before, Xiao qin'er has been busy with these things, Ouyang Fu assistant manager.

Xiao qin'er was very inefficient in dealing with such a task for the first time.

Ouyang Fu did not remind her, but just watched.

Sure enough, Xiao qin'er took the initiative to take charge of the affair, and as a result, something happened.

Now the job is back in Ouyang Fu's hands.

Ouyang Fu secretly aims at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu is still looking through the list of people, it seems that he does not intend to interfere with her work.

She looked at Xiao qin'er again.

Xiao qin'er had been in charge of the purchase of the sewing room. She was the one with the most oil and water. She would be looking at the account books of the sewing room.

In the final analysis, the princess and empress are still the most distressed childe to discuss Xiao qin'er and his wife. Otherwise, he will not give Xiao qin'er the most lucrative job.

As for Ouyang Fu, let her assist the housekeeper, that is the assistant manager. Where she is needed, she is busy.

Ouyang Fu sneered to herself and continued to work.

Gu Jiu, with one mind and two uses, looks through the register and listens to mother Fang's introduction. While paying attention to the reaction of the two sisters in law.

Xiao qin'er was disgraced by the princess today. She will be very honest and will not say a word.A woman came to ask for instructions, and she was also very gentle.

As for Ouyang Fu, Gu Jiu smiles and has a lot of thoughts.

Of course, none of the people in the palace are pure minded.

Everyone has a delicate heart.

Otherwise, how can we get a foothold in the palace.

It is said that the imperial palace is a place for cannibalism.

After calculating the budget of rewarding servants for the Spring Festival, Qingmei said quietly with Gu Jiu: "Madam Qi, this account is OK. It's the specific number of rewards. Please see it in person. "

Gu Jiu picks eyebrows, takes over the account book to read.

The number of rewards looks amazing.

There are hundreds of taels at the most and only a few hundred at the least.

She quickly through the account book, and then check the list, so Gu Jiu understood the intention of the royal family order.

Those who reward more are the ones she needs to pay attention to.

She accepted the favor from the royal family.

Gu Jiu also did not cover up, directly wrote a list of key personnel in front of the list.

Busy, time always flies.

I feel busy for a while. It's noon.

Gu Jiu goes to the outer room and returns all the books to the royal family order.

"Thank you, my Lord."

The royal family made some doubts, "has Madame finished reading it?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "I have read it all. I have no objection to the budget during the new year."

She is a new comer, and the situation has not been fully understood. Naturally, there is no objection.

The royal family was surprised, "how fast?"

Gu Jiu said with a smile, "I always settle accounts very quickly. If you have anything else to share with me, please let me know
