BXBX NOVEL Chapter 618: in debt
Just when Xiliang thought that Xiao Xun would take the opportunity to attack Xingqing Mansion in the capital of Xilin, Xiao Xun suddenly went east and swept Xiliang Mansion.
Despite this, Xingqing Mansion is still in chaos, and the rich and powerful are fleeing like frightened birds.
When the news came, I don’t know if Dayong’s courtiers considered Emperor Shoukang’s poor health this year, or some other reason, but no one reported the victory to the emperor.
Miyazato began to pack his things.
The weather was getting hotter, and the emperor\'s cough didn\'t get better. Impatient with the heat of the capital, he decided to go to the lotus pond to escape the heat.
The lotus pond is located in the north of the capital. After leaving the old Suanzao gate, go north for more than a hundred miles, and you will find a large lotus pond.
The mighty Jinjiang River rolls down and passes through the lotus pond. Even in the fiery season of June, the river is still cold to the bone.
The Lianchi Palace is located on the edge of the Jinjiang River, and the remaining veins of Longshou Mountain stretches behind it. The snow on the mountain melts and forms a stream that passes through the palace. A cool world.
From the day the emperor decided to avoid the summer heat, there was a decree from the palace. The concubine Chen was excellent in medical skills and ordered to accompany her. It was probably thought that the imperial concubine Xiao Lingsu, the daughter of the king of Xiang, was appointed as the princess of Nanzhang in the absence of the king. Let\'s drive together.
This is probably the most random canonization decree since ancient times, but in any case, the decree is true, and the canonization of the princess is not a child\'s play.
In the Xiafei courtyard, Xiao Lingsu returned to the courtyard, still feeling dazed. She thought that it was impossible for her to get the title of princess in her life. Thinking back, how much her mother had paid for her brother\'s position as the eldest son Lao Jin didn\'t even win it, if her elder brother didn\'t let her out by himself, and refused to take the position of the eldest son, I\'m afraid it wouldn\'t be his brother\'s turn.
The father didn\'t care about the other children except the elder brother at all. The father was favored by the empress dowager. As long as the father opened his mouth, not to mention all the children of the father, at least she, a direct daughter, should also have a title .
This is decent.
Her title today came because of her sister-in-law. Is it true that Princess Duanxian is a lucky star, and whoever gets close to her will be blessed?
The point is that since her second sister was humiliated, she never planned to get too close to her sister-in-law.
Citron was overjoyed, and said excitedly, "Girl, the servants of Cai Xiafei Academy are saying that the girl should be rewarded if she is to be crowned Princess!"
Xiao Lingsu has never been a person who puts too much emphasis on money. Although she doesn\'t care much about titles, she doesn\'t have them when others have them.
"Look at how much money is left, and donate all of it."
"Girl, I don\'t have much money. The girl only has a small amount of money every month. She spends a lot of money on weekdays. Last year, the girl said she wanted to wear a riding suit. After saving money for more than three months, she finally got some money and went to do it." In that riding outfit, he said he would buy a few books this month, so he just borrowed two taels of silver from Miss Si, and he hasn\'t returned it yet."
She actually owed foreign debts.
She is a girl from the royal family, and her mother\'s family is an imperial merchant. She still owes foreign debts and wants to borrow money from her concubine sister.
Xiao Lingsu was about to go crazy. She felt humiliated and asked, "How much money do I still owe?"
"Girl, servant, look at the ledger!"
Citron served Xiao Lingsu since she was a child, and she could read and count. She bit her pen and calculated, and said, "Girl, you still owe the third girl seventeen taels of silver, and the five taels of silver you owed the fourth girl before have not been repaid. I owe twenty-five taels of silver."
Xiao Lingsu stood up abruptly, and walked outside quickly, but Citron hurriedly stopped her, "Girl, where are you going?"
Citron’s face turned pale. If the girl went to quarrel with the princess again, she would be the one who would be punished later, “Girl, if you don’t have money to pay back the debt, slave, slave, I will lend it to you!”
"Where did you get the money?"
"The maidservant still has three taels of silver per month. The maidservant went to help the girl give gifts to the princess last time. The princess asked Sister Xuantao to reward the maidservant twice, and she got a total of ten taels of silver. The maidservant still has a hundred taels of silver. The savings of an extra tael of silver."
A servant girl has more belongings than hers. Xiao Lingsu looked into the room and found that there were no valuable decorations. Ever since she pawned a decoration once and was discovered by her mother, the one who pawned things for her The maid was beaten and sold by her mother.
Borrowing money from the maid is naturally not an option, Xiao Lingsu said, "I won\'t go to her, I will go to my father."
Xiao Lingsu flew to King Xiang\'s study, and after inquiring, King Xiang was not there, and she didn\'t know when she would come back. She didn\'t want to go back to the backyard, so she came out of the study and stood at the door of Xiao Ke\'s study, Mengmaozhai. not there.
Xiao Lingsu asked casually, "Where is your son?"
The boy at the door replied, "My lord, my son opened a cat and dog shop on the street, and now every morning, my son goes to the shop and doesn\'t come back until evening!"
Xiao Lingsu was at a loss. Her brother, the eldest son of the palace, actually opened a cat and dog shop on the street?
Before she had time to ask, the young man happily said, "I heard that there are about one hundred taels of silver in the store every day. The son is also very happy, and every time he brings some from the street. Come back to eat."
Xiao Lingsu only felt that the world was a bit unreal. She walked through the courtyard in a daze, through a small door, passed the well in front of the stable in the south courtyard, and entered the east courtyard.
Xie Zhiwei was about to go out when he met Xiao Wei who came back from the south. Xiao Wei had brought several carts of things and was arranging for someone to unload the cars while talking to Xie Zhiwei, "Sister-in-law, I came back from the south this time and saw a lot of world. It’s not something you can learn in a while. The channel from south to north has been opened up. I’m thinking, why don’t we set up some shops in Jiangling Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Yan’an Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Zhending Mansion , and at the same time do some urgent business, what do you think, sister-in-law?"
"Very good. It seems that you really learned a lot when you went out this time. The prefectures you mentioned not only connect the north and the south, but also are very close to the west. After opening up, you can also communicate with the east and west. It\'s a good idea."
Xiao Wei was overjoyed, and was about to continue talking, when he saw Xiao Lingsu standing not far away from the corner of his eye, and swallowed the words again.
Xie Zhiwei nodded towards Xiao Lingsu, Xiao Lingsu hurried over to greet Xie Zhiwei, and greeted Xiao Wei, "Fourth brother!"
Xiao Wei called "Big Sister" and turned to go to work. Before he left, Xie Zhiwei gave him three thousand taels of silver, and he brought back a lot of things from the south to Xie Zhiwei, and moved them to Xie Zhiwei\'s house one by one. go.
"Is sister-in-law going out?" Xiao Lingsu asked.
"I\'m not going out anymore. The fourth brother is back. Your elder brother is not here. I have to take care of the fourth brother."
The second update!
