As soon as Li Junche said that he would hand over the power of managing the palace to the princess, Butler Li ran over quickly.
The princess must be informed of the palace's situation, otherwise the money in the account will be exposed within a few months.
Wen Jinhe thought of the things in the space and had to create opportunities to use them openly.
"Man Qiu, Man Dong, can you two settle accounts?" The only subordinates who can take advantage of this are these two maids.
Man Qiu and Man Dong replied: "Go back to the princess, my servant will be more knowledgeable."
Wen Jinhe felt disgusted when she thought of the dowry given by Linyue Kingdom, "Except for the betrothal gift given by the prince, all of my princess's dowry was taken out of the house and sold. From now on, my private property will be managed by you two, just like Butler Li. Just report twice a month.”
Man Qiu Man Dong lowered his eyebrows and said, "She is the princess."
That night, when Li Junche came to the backyard to eat, he noticed that Wen Jinhe's attitude towards him had changed, and he would glare at him from time to time, "Is today's food not to your liking?"
Wen Jinhe put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Junche, and said in a very gentle tone, "No, I just looked at the palace's account book today and felt that I may be the only woman in my life."
Li Junche: "Why is this?"
Wen Jinhe took away the last piece of chicken from the plate in front of him, "Because the prince can't afford it, I'm full. Please use it slowly, prince."
Li Junche stared at Wen Jinhe who was leaving. When he reached out to pick up the vegetables, he found that the rest were all vegetarian.
If you are such a picky eater, no wonder your waist is so thin.
Man Qiu quickly sold all the dowry, "Princess, it's a total of one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Wen Jinhe sighed and vomited in his heart. The princess of a country only had such a small dowry for her marriage, but Linyue Kingdom really didn't want to do anything to save face. "Let's put it into the account. Let's pack it up and go out for a walk today."
Bring Zhao Bi and He Shi, a group of five people.
Wen Jinhe wore a curtain hat and walked through the market, asking stall owners about the prices of their goods from time to time.
Man Qiu looked at her princess and asked several stores, but didn't buy anything.
Could it be that the princess knew that the palace had no money, so she was deliberately saving money?
Putting down the hosta in his hand, Wen Jinhe glanced around.
A steamed bun costs two cents, and a bucket of rice costs seventy cents.
One tael of silver can buy fourteen buckets of rice, which is one hundred and sixty-eight pounds, enough for an adult man to eat for half a year.
However, there are many people in the royal palace, and the expenses are high. The things used are naturally different from those in ordinary people's homes, and the expenses can be said to have increased significantly.
Man Qiu leaned into Wen Jinhe's ear and whispered: "Princess, it's almost noon. Should you go back to the palace to have dinner or eat outside?"
Wen Jinhe saw a noodle stall on the street at a glance, "For outdoor use, let's go there."
The four of them followed Wen Jinhe's line of sight and saw only a simple noodle stall.
When they were hesitating, they found that their princess had already walked towards the noodle stall.
I couldn't help being surprised, I didn't expect the princess to be so simple and friendly to the people.
When the noodle stall owner saw the five people approaching, he looked at Zhao Bi and He Shi who were holding swords in their right hands. He endured his inner restraint and quickly pulled away the wooden stool enthusiastically and said, "What are the five guests eating?"
Wen Jinhe replied: "Just some daily stuff."
The food in the palace tastes pretty good, comparable to a modern ordinary restaurant.
I don’t know if the food outside is delicious.
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment, we'll be here soon."
The boss quickly went to work.
Wen Jinhe took off his curtain hat and felt a little relaxed as he felt the smoke of ancient fireworks.
Quiet as a virgin, detached from the world and independent.
As soon as her bright and charming appearance was revealed, the eyes of passers-by were focused on her.
When they noticed the two maids on the side and the two guards sitting at the next table, many people only dared to peek a few times.
At first glance, she is a young lady or a madam from a wealthy family.
The noodle stall owner came over with the noodles and was stunned for a moment when he saw Wen Jinhe's face. He quickly put down the bowl and picked up the rest.
On top of the clear noodle soup are bits of chopped green onion and leftover lard residue from boiling lard.
It tastes like a roadside stall in the 2000s, but the color of the noodles doesn’t look that white.
The handmade noodles are pretty good.
When Man Qiu saw that her princess had finished the entire bowl of noodles, she silently took out a handkerchief and wiped Wen Jinhe's mouth.
"Do you know which broker has the largest business in the city?" Wen Jinhe looked back at Zhao Bi and He Shi and asked.
He Shi thought for a moment and then replied: "Most of the brokers live in the downtown area in the east of the city."
Wen Jinhe wanted to buy some real estate, "Then go there."
The doorman's eyes lit up when he saw Wen Jinhe wearing a curtain hat, "A distinguished guest is here, I don't know what business to do?"
Although the owner's appearance cannot be seen, one can guess the noble status of this woman just by looking at the maids and guards.
Wen Jinhe looked at the fawning broker and knew he was a seasoned businessman, "I want to buy two shops and some land."
As soon as he heard that he wanted to buy a shop, the broker's eyes shone, "Your distinguished guest is at the right time. We have the most comprehensive items in the entire capital."
The broker quickly brought the floor plan of the capital and asked, "Do you want to buy a shop in the west, east, north or south of the city?"
Wen Jinhe stared at the east of the city. The location of Prince Che's Mansion was in the east of the city. It was close and easy to manage. "It's in the east of the city."
The broker then asked Wen Jinhe about his needs, and then said: "These two houses on the east side of the city meet Madam's requirements. Can I take you to see them?"
Wen Jinhe refused: "Don't worry, what fields do you have for sale?"
The broker pointed to the north of the city and said: "Recently, some landowners have sold their own fields, but they are all lower-grade fields. If nobles want to buy higher-grade fields, there are quite a few outside the city."
Wen Jinhe frowned slightly and said, "If you want a lower-grade field in the city, please take me to have a look."
"Hey." The broker quickly asked someone to hitch the car.
When he walked outside the house, he looked at the carriage brought by He Shi with a shocked expression. This was the carriage from Prince Che's Mansion.
The person who came should be Prince Che's newly married princess, the marriage princess from Linyue Kingdom.
The broker's attitude became more and more respectful, and he lowered his head and did not dare to take another look.
When they reached the central street in the north of the city, a group of soldiers on horseback passed through the street.
He Shi, who was driving the carriage, whispered toward the carriage: "Princess, the one who passed by just now is the prince."
Wen Jinhe opened the car curtain and saw only a back figure. Hearing Man Qiu say that Li Junche went outside the city early in the morning to supervise the defense change. He didn't expect to come back so early, "Let's go."
Murong Nie followed Li Junche and said, "Your Majesty, that was the palace's carriage just now. The driver was He Shi. It must be the princess who has gone out."
Li Junche pulled the reins, turned his head and stared at the rear of the car that disappeared around the corner, "Zhao Bi is here too, nothing will happen, go back home."
Standing on the ridge of the fields, you can see farmers working.
The broker pointed to the large grassy wasteland in front of him and introduced: "The low-grade fields in front of us are a full 100 acres, and those in front are high-grade fields. The owner is already arranging for people to plow the land."
“With no one taking care of it, the lower fields have turned into wasteland, which is a pity.”
"There is a river 10 miles away from here, which is considered a good condition among the lower-grade fields."
