Fire is prohibited on Cold Food Day, so the Cold Food Banquet is a cold banquet.
Looking at the exquisite utensils, they are filled with all kinds of exquisite cold food, such as cold food porridge, cold food cakes, noodles, snakes and rabbits, jujube cakes, green dumplings, red lotus roots, etc
The eldest princess really had no appetite. With Concubine Li's enthusiastic recommendation, she reluctantly used a few chopsticks and took a sip of tea.
It¡¯s actually cold too.
Do you want to be so strict? Don¡¯t you know that we women can¡¯t eat so much raw and cold food?
The eldest princess also drank hot two-meter porridge this morning.
¡®What is the prohibition of cold food and fire? All the rules that make you suffer should go to hell! ¡¯ The rebellious eldest princess secretly complained.
But putting aside her prejudice, she still admired Concubine Li.
A mason's daughter was able to obtain the holy favor and rule the Sixth House. Although she mainly relied on her stomach to achieve success, she also had many commendable qualities in other aspects.
For example, she has always taken the lead in enforcing the rules in this palace and is strictly self-disciplined. If cold food does not cause fire, there will not be even a spark in the entire Chuxiu Palace.
Furthermore, she was also respectful to Empress Chen who lived in a corner. According to the etiquette of a concubine, she kept greeting her every day, even if she was pregnant.
With the imperial concubine setting an example, no one in the harem dared to mess around, and she was allowed to manage the Sixth Palace smoothly.
I heard that she also asked Feng Bao to tell her "Commentary and Biography of the Concubines of the Past Dynasties" every day, and she has been learning to read and write
In short, this is a girl from a small family who is strong, hard-working, and has a good heart.
The eldest princess¡¯s dislike mainly comes from her family members Hey, that father and son are so weird.
When she thought of all the bad things that happened during the handover a few days ago, the eldest princess couldn't bear to eat.
"But she is here to show her good will today, so naturally she won't tell her daughter about my condition.
So he steeled himself, showed off his special skills as a dramatist, and started a family affair with Concubine Li with a smile on his face.
After all, Concubine Li has a big belly and should not sit for long periods of time. Seeing that she and the eldest princess were almost getting along, she got to the point and said:
"The day before yesterday, when my mother came into the palace to say hello, she accidentally mentioned that the handover of the imperial store didn't seem to go smoothly?"
"Haha" The eldest princess secretly cursed in her heart, "I don't want to come to me for trouble." But she said calmly on her face: "This is normal. There are hundreds of Huangzhuang Huangdian stores, and each one needs to be re-accounted and handed over individually. It¡¯s impossible to achieve success overnight.¡±
"I heard that there are good stewards. Do you want to go with His Highness?" Concubine Li said softly. I cursed myself in my heart, saying I can't change this problem.
Whenever my mother told her something, she couldn't help but say it, even though she knew it was not good.
"Don't pay attention to them." The eldest princess was angry and said expressionlessly: "I have been the servants of the royal family for generations, and I still let them go."
"Your Highness has misunderstood." Concubine Li shook her head slightly and said: "What I mean is, they can leave if they want. It's not sweet to force them. Besides, Your Highness also needs people there."
"Huh?" The eldest princess couldn't help but open her cherry mouth, and then quickly closed it. Xin said, do you know how difficult it is to cultivate a qualified manager and a capable shopkeeper?
When it¡¯s too late for the boss to keep someone, how can there be any reason to expel someone?
"Hey, my father and brothers want to use their own servants to take care of things." Li Guifei said sadly: "I'm really fed up, let them go."
The eldest princess was stunned and yelled in her heart, "That's a business, Caifeng!" It's different from when you arrange eunuchs in charge.
The rules in the palace are there. As long as you are not stupid or stupid, you can basically do it.
But can any person be the shopkeeper? The business was ruined in just a few days?
Actually, from her own point of view, the eldest princess wishes that all the shopkeepers would follow her.
Those are all treasures! Even if you don't use it yourself, you can still use it for Qian'er. In short, it will never be wasted!
But once she came, she couldn¡¯t bear to see the imperial store she had worked so hard to run for so many years being ruined.
Secondly, Concubine Li is also kind.
In fact, they didn¡¯t even need to inform her before they could change everyone.
Now let me tell you, isn¡¯t it because those are the people she single-handedly promoted?
"If you replace them all rashly, chaos will inevitably happen. I'd better keep them for a few more months to take care of the new ones." The eldest princess advised.
"Hey, okay, just listen to Your Highness." Seeing that she agreed, Concubine Li said no more. He said in his heart, no matter how anxious Daddy is, there is nothing wrong with him.??It's been a few months.
Feeling that she had gone too far again, Concubine Li quickly moved on to the next topic and said:
"I heard that His Highness's Xishan Coal Industry is looking for someone to buy shares?"
"That's what happened." The eldest princess nodded and said with a smile: "I was planning to tell my wife today, but I didn't expect you to know about it first."
"It's what Mrs. Fengcheng Hou said." Li Guifei hurriedly explained.
Because the Marquis of Fengcheng was also named Li, he shamelessly married Concubine Li and her father. With this relationship, his wife often went to the palace and fawned over Concubine Li in every possible way.
"Oh, I said so." The eldest princess suddenly realized that Mrs. Fengcheng Hou had indeed bought stocks.
"Hey, it's not easy to have His Highness to sell it himself." Concubine Li sighed, then gritted her teeth and said: "How can I say that I picked His Highness's peaches? How many stocks are left? I'll buy them all!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? What a huge favor
The eldest princess felt unhappy after hearing that!
¡°She did bring a thousand shares of Xishan Coal Industry¡¯s stock with her when she entered the palace this time. But it¡¯s not that you can¡¯t sell it and come to sell it door-to-door.
It¡¯s only four or five thousand shares, but it¡¯s only four or five thousand taels of silver. The princess doesn¡¯t need to worry about it at all.
That day, she randomly organized a game, called the ladies who usually played well together, and talked about things like a casual chat.
In this day and age, women are in charge of accounting at home. These ladies, all holding the financial power of the house, divided up the stock between you and me, three hundred and five hundred.
The most enthusiastic one was Mr. Xiaoge¡¯s wife Ji, who bought 800 shares alone.
¡°Then Mrs. Dingguo, daughter-in-law of Duke Cheng, and Mrs. Marquis Fengcheng each received 500 shares; Mrs. Zhang Juzheng and others each received 200 or 300 shares, and all 4,000 shares were subscribed.
She planned to keep the remaining one thousand shares and give them to the Queen and Concubine Li.
Otherwise, it¡¯s just a matter of words.
Why is it that when you get to Concubine Li, it becomes her as a favor to me?
I won¡¯t accept your affection, okay?
The eldest princess really wanted to take it and leave, but then she remembered Qian'er's instructions - for the future of Xishan Coal Industry, she must have a good relationship with Concubine Li. Otherwise there will be a lot of trouble!
"Isn't it? There are still five hundred shares that have not been sold, but I am worried to death." She sighed secretly in her heart, the eldest princess forced a smile and nodded: "Your Majesty, you have really helped me a lot"
"We are all one family. If you say this, you will go out on a limb." When Concubine Li heard that it cost five thousand taels, she couldn't help but feel a heartache. But he still pretended to be generous and asked someone to collect five thousand taels of silver and send it back to the eldest princess' mansion.
It is said that the big pond has water but the small pond is full, the big pond has no water and the small pond is dry. The emperor has no money and Concubine Li is not well-off.
The eldest princess knows that being able to come up with five thousand taels is already Li Caifeng¡¯s limit
Thinking of this, her anger subsided a lot.
Hey, everyone is trying hard to make friends, but if they just don¡¯t act awkwardly, what can they do?
According to Gan'er, if we all have different views, we are destined not to be friends, and no matter how hard we try, it will be useless
