Zhen Qingyin counted a total of one hundred and one thousand taels of silver notes, nine of which were large-amount bank notes of one thousand taels, and eleven were "small" bank notes of one thousand taels.
She picked out eight thousand taels and stared at the "New Year red envelope" with a frown on her face.
Eight thousand taels, most court officials' lifetime salary combined would not be that much.
Wei Ji must have had cramps in his hands while counting the money. He was so happy counting the money that it was rare for him to be so generous.
However, this money does not belong to her.
Money that didn't belong to her was too hot for her to hold.
The system saw something was wrong and asked in panic: [Host, what are you going to do? That's a banknote, eight thousand taels! Your mother's dowry is not worth eight thousand taels in total! No one thinks that money is too much to burn their hands, stop it, you are not allowed to touch the eight thousand taels! 】
After Du Ruo explained the whole story, he retreated to the outside.
Zhen Qingyin slightly raised her lips, her eyes were dark, and she said without saltiness or indifference: "Why are you panicking? I won't be in trouble with anyone, and I won't be in trouble with Yinzi. I won't get burned, don't worry."
The system was frightened: [Then, what are you going to do? 】
"Why are you so nervous? It's not your money."
The system angrily said: [I have bound you. Of course I hope you will get better and better. Your money is my money. 】
Zhen Qingyin raised her eyebrows slowly: "My money is your money?"
The system gradually turned red and became a little nervous: [You are my host, I am a part of you, in this world, I can only communicate with you, we are one. Although I can't feel the pleasure of spending money, when I look at your flowers, it feels like I spent them. 】
The system hugged its legs and groaned; [You are a heartless and unjust woman, you have never considered me to be on your side! You always treat me as your enemy! 】
Zhen Qingyin put the eight thousand taels in a pile and her dividends in a pile. She felt that the thickness of the bottom of the box was wrong, and then she dug out the bottom layer.
Sure enough, there is a universe within.
The bottom of the box is hollow, with a thin account book inside.
The account book records the daily turnover of Linglong Pavilion. Transactions of less than a thousand taels are classified into the "retail" category. Transactions of more than a thousand taels indicate which company made the purchase.
I didn’t specify which company bought what, but there was a price list on the first page.
Zhen Qingyin glanced at it hastily. Out of trust in the hero's character, she did not suspect that he had made false accounts.
Very attentive.
Zhen Qingyin collected the dividends she deserved and the account books. The system quickly asked: [Are you going to return the eight thousand taels of red envelopes to the male protagonist? 】
Its tone hid anticipation.
It’s good to give it back to the male protagonist.
She was worried about entrusting such a large amount of money to others. Firstly, she was afraid of losing it, and secondly, she was afraid that she and the prince would be exposed secretly. She might be suspected of having an affair, and the host would definitely have to return it in person.
In this way, wouldn't the two of them be able to meet each other?
Zhen Qingyin smiled and thought beautifully: "I am not related to the prince, so how can I receive his eight thousand taels of red envelopes in vain? Eight thousand taels has its own place to go."
But he didn't say how to repay it.
The system heard that she was not going to see the prince. She was about to be disappointed when she suddenly shouted excitedly: [Host, host! It’s gone up, and the love value has gone up again! Ahhhh, it went up five points at a time! It's early in the morning. Could it be that the male protagonist had some sweet dreams last night? He dreamed of you... Hehehe! 】
The system laughed obscenely.
Zhen Qingyin's face darkened.
The system is indeed full of crap.
There is also Wei Ji. It’s inexplicable to complete system tasks, and it’s also inexplicable to increase his love value.
She has tried her best to avoid meeting him, but he can still complete the task and increase his love value. Is this guy a cannon? Specialized in attacking targets from a distance.
Zhen Qingyin was secretly heartbroken when she saw the system doing the figure 8 dance to please herself.
If Weiji is the cannon, then the system is the fort.
"South Star!"
"Girl." Nan Xing quickly lifted the curtain and came in.
"I will give out New Year's red envelopes to everyone soon. This year's red envelopes will be doubled. And all the servants in Jinxiu Residence will be doubled." Zhen Qingyin tried her best to forget the eight thousand taels and 10 love points, and ordered happily.
Nan Xing quickly suppressed his surprised expression, felt deeply blessed, and said loudly: "Yes! Girl, I will thicken the red envelope right now."
Zhen Qingyin paused and said, "Leave it to Du Ruo. You follow me to Fulong Hall."
Nan Xing was even more surprised than when he heard about the doubled red envelope.
After Zhen Qingyin brought Du Ruo back, she only asked Du Ruo to wait in the room and go out as little as possible to avoid being seen by people in Fu Rong Hall. It was another troublesome matter that kept arguing and confusing.
But Zhen Qingyin didn't trust her, and Nan Xing was still responsible for personal chores and property management. Du Ruo only did small tasks such as serving tea and pouring water and making beds and quilts.
Now, Zhen Qingyin asked Du Ruo to be responsible for packing red envelopes, which gave Du Ruo access to Chaoyu Pavilion's financial power.
Nan Xing had no dissatisfaction. The girl had her own ideas. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes, girl."
Zhen Qingyin thought that Du Ruo was not moved when he saw a box of one hundred thousand taels of silver notes. With this determination, he should be trusted by her.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhen Qingyin took Nan Xing to Fu Rong Hall.
Du Ruo felt secretly happy while counting and packing the silver coins and copper coin strings that Nan Xing gave her.
The girl started to really take her seriously.
*
An hour ago.
During the New Year, the East Palace is decorated in red and green, taking on a new look.
The red lanterns hanging everywhere illuminate the East Palace shrouded in darkness magnificently.
The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids shuttled back and forth, making it very lively.
The prince opened the warehouse and wanted to personally select New Year's gifts for his father, queen and concubines.
On the innermost floor of the warehouse, a hundred boxes were neatly placed against the wall, covering the entire wall from bottom to top, which was quite spectacular and conspicuous.
The prince paused.
Feng Youxi followed his gaze and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, those boxes contain gold and silver. Eighty boxes of silver, one thousand taels each, a total of eighty thousand taels! Twenty boxes of gold, each box Five hundred taels, a total of ten thousand taels!
These gold and silver are all the glazed products sold by Linglong Pavilion, your dividends. The total dividend is 744,000 taels. The bank account can only exchange for 80,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold. The rest will be given to the banknotes, otherwise I will cash it all back to you and fill up our warehouse. "
Feng Youxi smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared, and golden light burst out from the gaps in his eyes.
He dares to guarantee that even the national treasury does not have so much cash now.
Feng Youxi had never seen so much gold and silver. When he ran to get the account book, his legs were shaking.
Miss Zhen is the God of Wealth in the East Palace!
The next time His Highness wants to eat her leftover wine and drink her leftover tea, he won't make a fuss anymore.
The next time Miss Zhen eats leftover snacks or something, he takes the initiative to pack them up and bring them back to His Highness. If Your Highness refuses to eat them, he will swear to the death to persuade His Highness to eat them!
Feng Youxi once again showed a generous expression.
The prince glanced at him, what's wrong with him?
He climbed up the ladder and reached out to open the top wooden boxes. There was a gleaming gold and silver light that almost blinded him.
The middle box was unlocked and there were three boxes inside, each containing three banknotes. The three boxes were full.
He closed the lid silently and climbed down silently.
Feng Youxi held up the account book with both hands and smiled crookedly: "Your Highness, the account book!"
"Fuxi! You have been with me for more than ten years and have opened your eyes. It's just some yellow and white things. Is that all you have?" The prince scolded with a smile and opened the account book.
When his hand shook, the account book almost fell to the ground.
