"Let's start!" Chu Qingyan ordered casually.
I don't know that it was Chu Qingyan's unpredictable appearance that frightened everyone.
"Princess, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we don't have enough ice cubes. Do we need to buy more?" Wang Ma was the first to speak, her tone a little unkind, as if she didn't know how to handle the inner courtyard if she didn't agree. .
Chu Qingyan tapped her finger on the tabletop, and looked at Wang Ma with a light gaze, "Which room is this ice cube mainly stored in? How much is the daily cost? What is the price outside?"
Wang Ma was already prepared, and she replied, "It is mainly placed in the prince's and princess' rooms and study, with the living room, where several masters often go. Three basins of ice cubes are needed every day, almost one a day. Three taels of silver. In total, it costs nearly one hundred taels a month."
One hundred taels? Chu Qingyan squinted slightly, "Wang Ma, how did I hear that the ice cubes outside are not worth the price, only fifty taels per month at most, are the ice cubes you bought better? They are more heat-resistant. ?"
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Wang Ma's forehead, how did the princess know this? Didn't she just return to Beijing? And it seems that he is not too old, how can he seem to be more shrewd than what he imagined.
"The princess doesn't know anything. There are three, six, nine, and so on. There are good and bad things. In order for the prince and the princess to live comfortably on weekdays, the old servant bought this price." The words made up a reason.
Chu Qingyan smiled gently, "Wang Ma has been in the palace for six or seven years! I believe you will not do things like buying low and cheating high."
The princess was so clear about her details, the sweat on Wang Ma's head became more dense, and she nodded.
"But I remember that there seems to be an ice cellar in the mansion. Is it useless for so many years?" When Chu Qingyan said this, she was looking at Hongyi.
Hongyi was still immersed in the shock that Chu Qingyan gave her just now, felt her gaze, and immediately adjusted her emotions to look at Chu Qingyan, said with a smile, "Because the two masters have not been in the mansion in recent years, so the ice cellar It was used so little that it is now deserted."
Chu Qingyan was still satisfied with this explanation, she said in a hurry, "Although our palace is not bad for money, we can't spend too much, so let's take care of Wang Ma's two **** to clean up the ice cellar and reuse it. Getting up and being self-sufficient can also reduce the government’s expenses.”
Although she couldn't use this to make a difference, Wang Ma was a little unwilling, but at this time she could only accept it. The princess did not pursue further investigations, which was the greatest tolerance for her, and her life was the most important thing!
So Wang Ma withdrew, and another steward stepped forward to report.
Because of the example of Wang Ma, everyone dare not make things difficult, who has clean hands and feet? At this time, everyone is in danger, and some regret to make trouble, for fear that they will be exposed.
So, one by one, it was solved smoothly and swiftly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief behind their backs, and all sighed with emotion, don't look down on the princess when she was young, this oily head is slippery, and everything is shrewd.
After the matter was dealt with, although Hongyi was surprised by Chu Qingyan's way of handling things, she felt a little more resentment towards her in her heart.
I didn't expect that I planned this out today. Not only did I not plan on her, but instead, I helped her establish prestige in the inner courtyard. It's really hateful!
She didn't want to stay any longer, she pretended to smile and prepared to leave with the stewards.
However, at this time, Chu Qingyan spoke up.
"Hongyi, don't hurry, I still have something to do."
Hongyi had a bad feeling that she couldn't stay, otherwise something unacceptable would happen.
"Princess, can I come back to you later? There are still some things in the backyard that need to be handled by the servants." Hong Yi replied with a smile, being decent and generous, making it impossible to make mistakes.
But Chu Qingyan didn't take this set, she also smiled back, "What I want to say is these things."
Hongyi was a little puzzled, and the rest of the people looked at the two inexplicably, wondering what the princess was going to do.
Chu Qingyan folded her hands on the table, and said to Hong Yi with a serious expression and regret, "I know that you have been in the palace for at least ten years, and you have spent a lot of energy. I am also very optimistic about you, but this time I have What I have seen and heard in the palace has made me disappointed in you. You have lost the ability to handle affairs as a maid in the inner court. I think it is because the people in the palace are busy and busy, making you lacking skills, otherwise you would not have Today, so many stewards can't make up their minds to come to me."
Hongyi went from being shocked at the beginning to being calm at this time, "What does the princess mean?"
At this time, Jasper walked in with Qingyi. Qingyi was a little dazed when she saw so many people, but she still saluted the princess.
When Chu Qingyan saw someone coming, she turned her eyes to Hong Yi and said, "So, I regret to inform you that Qing Yi will take over all the affairs in your hands. When you recover your energy, I will try again. Arrange for you."
Except for Chu Qingyan and Biyu, everyone present looked back and forth between Hongyi and Qingyi in astonishment.
After leaving the study, Qingyi followed behind Hongyi, her face still very puzzled about this change, but at this time Hongyi had stopped, turned around and said to Qingyi as usual, "I'll take the money at hand later. I will leave the accounting matters to you, and if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."
Qing Yi nodded, then watched Hong Yi smiled at her and left.
When she got to the place she didn't look at, Hong Yi stopped and put one hand on the pillar, her face was extremely ugly, "What a Chu Qingyan, he actually calculated me like this! Okay, if you don't make me feel better, neither will I. It will make your life better, just wait and see!"
After venting, Hongyi restrained the sinister expression on her face again, returned to her gentle and virtuous appearance, and walked forward.
Only Chu Qingyan and Biyu were left in the study.
"Master, your move is really powerful!" Jasper spared no effort to praise.
Chu Qingyan smiled lightly, "This makes you admire, wait, there will be a good show to watch later."
With that said, the white tiger walked in from outside.
"Princess, are you looking for an old slave?"
"Yes, it's about these ledgers." Chu Qingyan pointed at the ledgers on the table.
Bai Hu raised his eyebrows, "Have you read it all?" This is impossible!
"That's right, but now I need you to call all these accountants over here. I have something to look for." Chu Qingyan looked as usual.
Although Bai Hu didn't know what she wanted to do, he still agreed. He didn't believe that she could finish all the accounts in just one day.
After a while, those stewards were brought over by Baihu, and they saluted Chu Qingyan lazily.
It's just that before the person could stand firm, a pile of books fell to the ground.
Everyone screamed.
