Chapter 37 Get out of the way, Lord Shizi

Chuanjin, looked at the empty streets, and whispered: "I just sent Jiang and Dai Yin into the car, and were about to report to the prince."

"Get into the car?" Song Liangchen was stunned: "Where to go?"

"Jiang said that since he is already the prince's person, he should go back to the palace to serve him." Chuanjin lowered his eyes and said, "So he had already set off on the road and headed towards Guancheng."

After a slump in his heart, Song Liangchen frowned, threw away the lotus in his arms, turned around and ran towards the stable.

"Master!" Yushu shouted.

Lotus flowers scattered all over the ground, petals fell, and they flew around as soon as the wind blew.

Song Liangchen led the horse out, with a serious expression and pursued Guancheng regardless of everything.

"pain……"

In Xiangsiyuan, Meijing woke up and covered her head and screamed: "Who was I hit on the head yesterday?"

Jinyi smiled and brought the water in: "The princess was said to be drunk yesterday, and now he should have a headache. Just come and have some sober tea."

Opening his eyes blankly, it was already dawn outside again. Shen Meijing looked around and sighed: "I'm awake again."

"Isn't it okay to wake up?" Yu Shi handed the tea to her lips and said with a smile: "As soon as I wake up, the master turned over. The prince ordered you to restore your status as a prince's concubine and let the backyard charge."

After being stunned, Meijing raised her eyebrows: "The cost of the backyard?"

"It's the account book and the keys of the vault. You will be responsible for the expenses in the backyard in the future." Jinyi said: "It used to be in the hands of Master Wen. Yesterday, Master Wen ordered that Master Wen would send the account book to you later."

As he said that, he paused, looked at the door closed, and couldn't help but add in a low voice: "This is the most popular in the backyard and has many benefits. Master Wen probably was reluctant to hand it over."

Those who care about money are naturally poor, Shen Meijing understands it. Song Liangchen is very nice to her. This is a friendship that has been shared with both worries, so he takes the initiative to improve her living standards. I really want to thank him.

After getting up and drinking sobering soup, Meijing suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a bracelet on her left hand, with delicate patterns on her head, and her other half was gone.

No! Isn't this bracelet going to be untied after seven days? She glared at me, could the prince cut off the small silver lock in the middle yesterday?

It’s time to chop it early! It’s causing her to lose excretion!

After muttering twice, Meijing turned over and got out of bed, changed clothes and washed up.

"Master, don't move." Sitting in front of the dressing table, Yu Shi gently applied the mark removal cream for her again, and looked at her face carefully: "This scar is almost healed. Be careful these two days and don't get water."

"Okay." Meijing nodded with a smile. Her face was also a woman's weapon. She was ruined by Xiao Baicai before, but now she has repaired it and can protect herself.

Not to mention the superficial men who look at their faces, who doesn’t like beautiful things? Even if they are good-looking, Song Liangchen can still be biased against her a little. It has nothing to do with lust, and this is a human nature.

"Master, Concubine Wen is waiting outside." Yu Shi looked at it and whispered: "Be careful, Master Wen has always been deeply in his mind."

She stole the other person's job at this time, which was considered a complete offense. She still didn't know how Wen Erya would make things difficult for her.

Shen Meijing nodded and thought that she had a verdict.

"I would like to pay my respects to the princess." Wen Erya came in, saluted respectfully, and held a lacquer box in both hands with a very good attitude: "According to the prince's order, I have brought all the account book and keys in the backyard."

"I'm working." Meijing reached out to take the box and smiled, "Please sit down for Concubine Wen."

"When the princess sees me, just call me Erya." Wen Erya sat next to me, raised her head, and her eyebrows were full of gentleness: "I misunderstood the princess before, but I still have grudges in my heart. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will come to apologize to you."

Shen Meijing raised her eyebrows. This master is really a master. He can speak. He can get closer together in just a few words, and it doesn't make people feel annoying at all.

"What a misunderstanding?"

Wen Erya looked guilty: "The princess said that the wedding was caused by the princess behind the scenes, so I believed it. I thought the princess was a cunning person, so I couldn't help but have many resistances. Yesterday, my grandfather had explained all the misunderstandings clearly, and I realized that I believed in rumors easily, so I also wanted to apologize today."

As he said that, he turned around and took the box in the hand of the maid behind him: "The princess is very knowledgeable and must not care much about the baby. However, this box of Pudong Pearls is not easy to get, and it is very effective for applying to the face. I hope the princess will not dislike it, accept it, and forgive me."

Look at what this said, how great. Shen Meijing took it with a smile and nodded to her. She likes such gifts that come out, that's true!

"Since it's a misunderstanding, you don't have to take it seriously. I'm a newcomer and I still have a lot of things to teach you."

Wen Erya smiled implicitly: "Does the princess know the situation of the female family in this mansion?"

"I don't know very well."

"I have specially prepared the usual fee list here." Wen Erya handed over the list: "The three concubines in the mansion and one concubine, besides my concubine, Master Ning is good at painting, and the cost of this ink powder is specially given five taels per month. The master of Yiquzhai is good at chess, and the cost is the least. He basically stays in the house and can't play chess. Then Mrs. Yu is good at calligraphy, and also has an additional five taels per month."

There are quite a lot of rules, so the beautiful sight nodded and wrote them down one by one.

"As for me, I am good at piano, and there is no extra cost, but I have to buy two good pianos from time to time. My master said that when buying piano, you can just withdraw it in the account room."

Is there any connection between being good at piano and buying a piano? As Meijing listened, she couldn't help but look up at her. This wealthy person has many problems. Isn't it better to like playing the piano and buy one? I have to remember to buy two, which is really a problem.

But now she can't teach her a lesson, just nodding.

"It happened to be the end of the month. The princess cleared the accounts of last month, and this month it can start allocating all parties and courts." Wen Erya stood up and said, "I won't bother you much. If you have any questions, I'll send someone to ask Liang Xuan."

"Okay." Mei Jing nodded: "You go slowly."

Wen Erya smiled and led the maid back.

According to what she said, the monthly expenses of the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion cost at least 500 taels. The monthly money of each female family member is almost 100 taels, as well as various extra costs, as well as the monthly money and food and clothing of the servants.

So rich!

I opened the account book and looked at last month's bill. I took the abacus and knocked it. Meijing raised her eyebrows and turned her head to ask Jinyi: "Have you paid your monthly money last month?"

"Of course, I will pay it at the beginning of every month." Jinyi said: "I have two taels of silver for a monthly money."

A first-class maid's monthly salary is only 2 taels. If there are so many people in the mansion, the wages alone cost about 100 taels of silver.

Shen Meijing took the account book and calculated it again, frowned and said, "It's strange, why did the total expenditure last month only cost 200 taels of silver?"

Isn't it enough money for a month alone?

"I don't know this servant." Jinyi shook his head: "When Master Wen was in charge of the accounts, the masters of each yard had no complaints."

Weird man, how did it do it? The beautiful scenery was shocked and couldn't help but look at the account book again. There was nothing but monthly expenses. Could it be that it was not even worthy of clothes and jewelry? The people in the prince's mansion were so economical?

"Where has the prince gone?" Meijing asked when she remembered.

Yu Esophagus said: "It seemed like I went out early in the morning, and I didn't see anyone now."

After all, it was the prince, so he should be busy. Meijing thought about it and closed the account book and said, "Then let's go to the mansion and take a look."

"yes."

Song Liangchen stopped Jiang Xinyue's carriage before Shoumu Mountain, and was covered in sweat. He was ready to see her cry. After all, she had been crying recently.

However, when the curtain was lifted, Jiang Xinyue actually looked at him with a smile: "What are you doing when the prince is running so urgently?"

A little stunned, Song Liangchen felt a little panicked, and reached out to touch it, only found a lotus petal on the collar, pursed his lips and handed it to her: "Don't be angry."

Jiang Xinyue lowered her eyes and looked at the petals, chuckled, and did not reach out to answer: "I am not angry, the prince doesn't have to think too much. I just suddenly figured it out. Instead of staying in the prince's house for the rest of my life, I might as well go back and serve the prince well, and maybe let my father continue to be promoted, don't you?"

A dull pain in his heart, Song Liangchen frowned and said, "Why do you want to do this to yourself?"

"What is this called jian? Marrying a chicken and following the chicken. I am also lucky enough to marry the prince. Why can't I think about it?" Jiang Xinyue leaned against the car, tilted her head and looked at him and smiled, very charming: "I am the prince's aunt Jiang, no longer Jiang Xinyue, and I will not wait for the prince. In the future, you come to the prince's house to pay my respects, and I can only make another cup of tea for you."

"..." She sat on the horse stiffly, and Song Liangchen opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"You are right. You will have countless women in your life. Even without Shen, there will be others. A greedy woman like me is not suitable to stay by your side."

"Get out of the way, prince."

As the curtain fell, Jiang Xinyue's voice calmed down: "Continue to go on the road."

The carriage passed by him, and Song Liangchen's eyes were dull, his hair was carried by the wind, and then fell silently.

"Master." Yushu frowned and said, "Let's go back, it's not good to ask the prince to find out."

"Yes." Song Liangchen nodded: "Go back."

I don’t know what it was, but it came out of my heart, making his eyes sore.

"Go and invite Governor Cheng, I have something to say to him."

"yes."

Meijing walked in the courtyard, looking up around. Jinyi and Yushi followed her, not knowing what she was looking at. After walking around the mansion for two times, she didn't go to see any concubines, but just looked around curiously.
