——After the shop is open, regardless of profit or loss, one hundred taels will be used every month for charity.
These are Jian Yu's original words.
One hundred taels may not sound like a big sum to the rich, but to ordinary people, it is a huge amount of money. Princess Jing's ability to use it for good deeds is a sign of her love for the people!
In this way, the people also believed that Princess Jing originally bought this shop out of compassion for the second daughter. She accidentally discovered that Hengtong Gambling House was bullying the people, so she beat the drum to complain.
Now this shop has become her reason to do good deeds, all for the sake of the people.
The princess is so kind!
"I have the latest news here. This morning, Li Erniu's family living in Mao'er Hutong received ten taels of silver! With this money, Li Erniu's son's schooling has been settled."
"You guessed it right, this is exactly one-tenth of the hundred taels that the princess said she would use for charity! It's in Bei'an Hutong..."
"These ten are all remnant soldiers who were discharged from the battlefield and returned to the fields..."
I heard that Mr. Shu was talking above, and the people below were also discussing enthusiastically. The princess did what she said, and the shop was not even opened the next day, and she was already doing good things!
Some people say that the Princess is so infatuated with Prince Jing that even when she does good deeds, the soldiers are the first to come to her rescue! This must be because Prince Jing is the God of War General! Love the house and the bird!
A lawsuit not only did not give Princess Jing a bad reputation, but everyone praised her.
This is what the common people are talking about, while the dignitaries are looking elsewhere. They are waiting for the reaction of the Liu family and the second prince.
Hengtong Gambling House has been operating in Shengjing for many years and has made a lot of money for the Liu family. Now that the government has put a seal on it and it has been sued by Princess Chao Jing in person, it will be difficult for it to open again.
But this is for others. If the people behind the gambling house are the Liu family and the second prince, then it is difficult to tell.
Not only others are waiting to see, Jian Yu is also waiting.
The second prince used the gambling house as a stick to hit her on the head and broke the stick himself. What should he do as the person holding the stick? She is looking forward to it!
The second prince had bet that Jian Yu would not cause trouble, but Jian Yu turned her head and beat the drum, shattering the second prince's plan.
Nowadays, the situation has changed from passive to active. The next person to take the initiative is Jian Yu. It all depends on whether she wants to pursue the case.
Today she has asked her servants to send a message to the Second Prince's Mansion. It depends on how the Second Prince chooses tomorrow. The other party had better be tougher, so that Shengjing City can be lively and lively again.
At present, Jian Yu has achieved most of her goals.
The first reason why she filed the lawsuit was to show everyone that she, Princess Jing, was not afraid of trouble. Now that she had slapped the Queen Mother in face, Jian Yu had no intention of becoming the well-educated Princess Jing that others said she was.
What she wants is to be free from shackles!
If she wanted to be a qualified Princess Jing in the eyes of outsiders, she would have to stay in the mansion day and night, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name for Prince Jing. This was impossible for Jian Yu.
If she wants to do business in the future, she will inevitably leave the palace or even Shengjing frequently. She will also often go back to the Taifu Palace to visit her grandfather. In terms of everything from now on, she will not be qualified for what a woman should do in the eyes of the world. .
What Jian Yu wants is what she wants to do in the future, and others have to hold it in if they see it, and no one should try to use words like a woman's virtue to define herself.
Of course, beating drums to complain has another purpose, which is to promote the shop.
Jian Yu's spice shop has two routes. The first is to provide expensive spices to noble ladies, and the second is to sell spices to common women.
If you want to earn more money, the latter is more important. Its success indicates whether your shop can open all over the country.
The number of shops opened will be large, and small profits but quick turnover will be no less than the income earned by selling expensive spices to noble ladies. Therefore, Jian Yu's lawsuit this time not only made the noble ladies have an impression of her opening a shop, but also called a common woman I am curious about the spice shop.
There is a third point here, that is, she established the ethereal image of Princess Jing. It was the second prince who gave Jian Yu the inspiration. She can also take the path of being close to the people!
The second prince has been aloof since he was born, and his closeness to the people is a bit hypocritical. Jian Yu is different. As a flower born under the red flag and growing in the spring breeze of the motherland, she has learned from birth that everyone is equal.
Are you more friendly to the people than her? In Jian Yu's heart, compared to the noble Princess Jing, she considers herself to be more of a "citizen".
She will do better than the second prince in this regard. Although there are some elements of exploitation in it, Jian Yu really wants to do some good deeds. When wars and civil strife break out in the future, the people will suffer the most.
The benefits of this matter are not limited to these. When Prince Jing comes back in the future, he will be deeply loved in the hearts of the people. Even if Prince Jing wants to move as Princess Jing, he must also consider public opinion.
It is better to have a dispensable princess in the palace, or to make the people dissatisfied and think that the royal family is ruthless. Even the emperor would probably persuade Prince Jing to choose the first option.
How should I put it, Zhou Jinyan is right to call Jian Yu the little fox, she is so good!
Zhou Jinyan was the first person to see through Jian Yu's tricks.
"This, this, Master, this should be just your guess. The princess is purely doing good things. Maybe everything is a coincidence!"
Hearing that Wei Bai didn't believe it and was even defending Jian Yu, Zhou Jinyan glanced at Wei Bai and said nothing.
Among the lieutenants in the military camp, Wei Bai is impulsive but his intuition is very accurate. Few tricks can deceive him. This makes Jian Yu even more powerful. She doesn't even have to bother to confuse, Wei Bai has already blinded her to death. Dead.
Wei Bai was like this, and the people outside were probably even more convinced.
Of course, Zhou Jinyan only saw the first two points of Jian Yu's plan. How could he know that Jian Yu knew that Prince Jing was not dead and was trying to kidnap him morally.
"The princess really divided one hundred taels into ten parts for the veterans today! My lord, the princess is just like you in Bianbei!"
In the past, the disabled veterans who came off the battlefield basically had to eat and wait for death for the rest of their lives. Their treatment has been improved since the master went to Bianbei. Before that, no one cared about such a group at all.
Look now, Princess Jing has noticed it too! What a perfect match for the master! Wei Bai is becoming more and more satisfied with all aspects of his future as the mistress of the house.
Zhou Jinyan was also surprised when he mentioned this. He thought that Jian Yu would help beggars or poor families, but he never expected that she would choose a disabled veteran.
Zhou Jinyan's eyes became warmer and he said to Wei Bai, "Keep an eye on the Second Prince's Mansion."
——This matter is not over yet.
At that time, in the second prince's residence, the sound of breaking porcelain was heard one after another. After a long time, he called people in, and the maid guarding the door dared to open the door and come in to clean up the mess.
The second prince behind the desk had gloomy eyes and a gloomy face. Two staff members came in with the maid. The two of them bent down and saluted, wondering in their hearts what letter Princess Jing wrote that could make the second prince so angry!
"Take a look."
The second prince picked up the letter and threw it to the table. He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his other hand, looking very tired.
The staff hurriedly bent down to pick it up. After they saw the content clearly, their expressions suddenly changed.
