Ding Dong was quickly taken to Grandma Guo’s yard.
"Greetings to Grandma Guo."
Ding Dong was slightly blessed, his movements were regular and there was nothing wrong with him.
Aunt Guo smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you have become a tall and graceful girl without knowing it. I heard that you are working as a third-class girl in the main courtyard of the palace?"
Ding Dong lowered his head and replied: "No matter how high a girl you are, as long as you can serve the princess, I will be a great blessing."
Grandma Er breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl usually looks cool, but I didn't expect her to be quite talkative.
Aunt Guo nodded: "I remember that you used to serve in the prince's study, and you were a first-class girl. Now that you are older and your status is lower, it is not suitable."
Hearing this, Ding Dong suddenly raised his head, with joy on his face.
With Aunt Guo stepping forward to support her, what else does she have to worry about...
"However, it was the prince who asked you to be a third-class girl. As a servant, I am not qualified to comment on the prince's decision." Aunt Guo lowered her eyebrows.
After a little probing, she found out Ding Dong's secret thoughts.
But think about it, although Ding Dong was promised to someone else, he never got married. It was normal for him to want to become a concubine in the palace's backyard.
Thinking of this, Grandma Guo smiled.
Even a woman of Ding Dong's status dares to dream of becoming a prince. Where does she have the confidence?
She thought about the morning after the prince's wedding, when he brought the princess into the palace to pay tribute to Concubine Yin, Princess Qinghua only mentioned the matter of the side concubine, and was humiliated by the prince.
Sooner or later, the matter of marrying a concubine will be put on the agenda. Is it possible that it will be like marrying a main concubine, with many twists and turns?
This Ding Dong can be used as a test.
Just think of it as solving the problems for Concubine Yin in advance.
Aunt Guo slowly took a sip of tea.
If Ding Dong can really catch the eye of the prince, then Nanny will not be able to have such great power, otherwise she will be a huge threat to the princess.
"Now that the palace has a princess, you are no longer suitable to be in charge." Aunt Guo said, "I will ask the princess to ask a few people to train her. Once they can get started, you can take over the hands of the people on hand. matter."
My grandma felt like she was struck by lightning.
She thought that Aunt Guo was just here to help the princess manage the palace, and she just had to behave well.
I never expected that on the first day that Nanny Guo came, she would take away the power of running the family. So what is the difference between her and other nannies?
She opened her lips, wanting to say something, but when Grandma Guo waved her hand, she could only retreat unwillingly.
Later in the evening, Grandma Guo went to the main courtyard to see Yun Chu and asked Yun Chu to arrange four people for her.
In addition to the four eldest girls, Yun Chu also had four dowry women, all of whom were able to take charge of their own business. She asked these four women to learn from Grandma Guo.
The four mothers-in-law knew that it was up to them whether the princess could take over the throne of the palace, so they all studied very seriously.
Grandma Er was completely at ease.
Not only her, but also the chief stewardess she single-handedly promoted, and the power in her hands was slowly transferred to Yunchu's four dowry wives.
"Mommy, we can't go on like this..." the housekeeper said with a sad face, "We are just people. You are the prince's wet nurse. How many people have made a joke."
Grandma Er's face was very dark.
If the princess directly takes away the housekeeping rights, she has a hundred ways to make the princess unable to tell the story of her suffering, because she is the prince's wet nurse and an elder.
But unfortunately, the princess invited Aunt Guo. Even though she had all kinds of means, she couldn't use them because Aunt Guo was older than her.
But she knew she couldn't wait any longer.
Once those women have taken over, it will be too late to make any further moves.
While Aunt Guo was dealing with matters in the inner house, Manager Cheng handed over all the accounts from the outer courtyard of the palace to Yun Chu's case.
The palace's accounts were so numerous that Yun Chu couldn't sleep well for several days. He was calculating accounts in his dreams. After five or six days of reading, he finally finished reading the accounts for the entire last year, and there were no discrepancies with the accounts handed over by Manager Cheng.
"Princess." Qiu Tong hurried into the flower hall and whispered, "People from the Intelligence Bureau just sent news that Princess Anjing...that is, Xie Ping, is dead."
Yunchu's fingers suddenly paused.
She put down her account book and raised her head: "Why did you die?"
"Xie Ping has been missing since the Queen Mother was buried. Prince Anjing died as a result of rebellion. The stigma on him has not been washed away. Who would care about Princess Anjing? No one was arranged to find him." Qiu Tong carefully said He said, "Until last night, a eunuch went to the Huling River to do business and found a corpse floating on the river. It had been almost eaten by fish... But it could be seen from the clothes he was wearing and the hair accessories on his head. It’s Princess Anjing…”
Yun Chu was in a daze.
Is it possible that Xie Ping died like this?
Although Xie Ping is not a scheming person, he is a person who will do anything to survive.
It was so simple to die, something felt wrong.
Yun Chu held his chin and frowned slightly.
Suddenly, a line flashed through her mind, and she spoke slowly: "On the day of returning to Beijing from the imperial mausoleum, was there an extra carriage behind the guard of honor in the East Palace?"
Qiu Tong nodded: "The person on the carriage was the maid of the Royal Beast Palace who was responsible for feeding the tigers in the imperial mausoleum. She had an arm bitten off while saving the prince. The Intelligence Bureau found out that this woman was brought back to the East Palace by the prince on the third day. , and became a concubine in the East Palace."
Yun Chu pursed his lips.
In her previous life, Xie Ping also went to the palace to pay homage to Concubine Yun. Within a few days, she was called into the palace and became a talented person.
It was hard for her not to suspect that Xie Ping was the beast-controlling maid brought into the East Palace by the prince.
Whether it is specific or not, you have to go to the East Palace in person to know.
If things were as she thought, it would be interesting.
After Yunchu finished handling the account books of Pingxi Palace, Chen Defu came to report that the ship was all ready and was about to sail. Yunchu was asked to go and take a look.
From the early autumn of last year to now, after more than half a year, the big ship that cost nearly 100,000 taels of silver finally landed. When she saw the huge ship parked at the mouth of the river, she felt indescribable heroism in her heart.
She wanted to use this ship to make herself rich.
She even thought about taking her two children on this boat and traveling all over the country, seeing thousands of mountains and rivers.
In the past, I only thought about my two children, but now there is another person in my heart, the children's father, Chu Yi.
It would be a wonderful thing for their family of four to travel to the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jin Dynasty one day.
Yunchu lifted up his skirt, walked onto the deck, and talked to everyone with a smile.
After becoming Princess Pingxi, there is no need to hide the property in her name, and she cannot hide it, so it is better to be open and generous.
Furthermore, the most profitable industry in the Jin Dynasty was salt and iron. The prince controlled private salt and the second prince was involved in the cast iron industry. Compared with these two, going to sea to earn some hard money was really nothing.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck and stood at the highest point, Yun Chu saw a familiar figure at the dock.
It's Xie Shi'an.
Xie Shi'an was talking to four or five strong men, and those strong men respected Xie Shi'an very much.
Yun Chu twitched the corners of his lips.
It seems that Xie Shi'an is trying to win over people from three religions and nine schools on behalf of King Gongxi in an attempt to form another force...
