Chapter 50 Have money and nowhere to spend?
This?
Wang Xue was baffled by Xi'er's sudden kneeling, but she still hurriedly reached out to help her up.

"Xi'er, if you have something to say, just say it. Although we have a master-servant relationship, I don't really treat you and Qing'er as servants. So if you really have something to do, don't be polite to me."

Wang Xue spoke very seriously, so Xi'er relaxed a little.

But she still lowered her head, looking uncomfortable.

Wang Xue didn't urge her, just quietly waited for her to speak.

After a while, Xi'er said in a low voice: "Princess, I heard that you plan to hand over the gambling house to Miss Shen, so... so I thought about finding a job for my father."

Speaking of this, Xi'er hurriedly knelt down again, and said earnestly: "Princess, I don't want you to give him such a good job, just an ordinary handyman."

"If it's an ordinary handyman, I believe many places will need people."

Xi'er's eyes were red, and she said: "It's not that the servant's unsatisfactory father used to work for others with dirty hands and feet, so after a few times, no one dared to use him anymore. Now he drinks at home all day long and treats the servant's mother Either hit or scold."

"Just a few days ago, the slave's mother approached the slave and told about it. I hope you can find a job for the slave's father to support the family, but the slave didn't dare to bother you before, but now that there is After seeing this opportunity, the slave girl wondered if she could do it. But don’t worry, the princess, this time the slave girl will definitely tell the slave girl’s father well, and I believe that he knows that it is related to you, so he will not dare to do those shady things again .”

After finishing speaking, Xi'er knocked Wang Xue down.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that this person was Xi'er, she would never have agreed.

For a habitual offender, you expect him to correct himself. You cannot say that there is no hope, but it is not great.

But since Xi'er asked her for the first time, she would not refuse.

So she helped Xi'er up, and said in a gentle voice: "Xi'er, I promise you, I will ask Yazhi to save a place for your father."

"Really? Thank you Princess, thank you Princess!" Xi'er knelt down in joy.

But she was stopped by Wang Xue, she changed the subject, and said seriously: "But Xi'er, I also have a word with you first, your father can go to Yazhi to find a job to support the family, but the premise is that your father can't do anything wrong. It's clean, if there is, there is no room for negotiation, and you should drive them away immediately, you have no objection to this point."

If she runs the business by herself, she can allow her servants to make a mistake, but it's not just her own business, so she can't do this.

Besides, for someone like her father, if he was given a chance, then he would think that stealing was fine, and there would be another time.

So once found, must leave.

"No! Xi'er didn't, thank you Princess!" Xi'er shook her head hastily.

In this way, she seemed to have confessed to her mother.

As for if her unworthy father still does bad things in the future, then she won't bother to take care of it anymore.

When eating breakfast the next day, Xiaotuanzi asked inarticulately while chopping the rice: "Mother, there are more than 20 days left in Qiuwei, you really don't plan to go to the hunting ground?"

"I think it's you kid who wants to go." Wang Xue poked the little guy's head lightly, causing the little guy's body to stagger for a while, and said dishonestly: "I want to go, but I still want you to take me with you." Son go."

Wang Xue shook her head helplessly, does she want to go?
She doesn't want to.

Speaking of which, she still had some conflicts in her heart.

When she thought about horseback riding and archery, she felt her ass began to ache.

Don't ask, the question is that her buttocks had been in close contact with the ground, and the cause was a fierce horse.

Looking back on the past is unbearable, and I want to feel all kinds of sadness in my heart.

Pick up a bowl of bird's nest porridge, drink it up in one gulp, the fragrance is straight to the top.

"Let's go after my mother is done with the things in hand. Anyway, we are going to join in the fun, and we don't want to be the first or second. There is no need to be too serious."

"Oh, that's fine." Xiaotuanzi nodded and continued to cook with his head bowed.

In the evening, Wu Sheng came back with news.

"Tell me in detail." Wang Xue handed a cup of tea to Wu Sheng and said.

Wu Sheng was not pretentious, he took the teacup and put it on the table after taking two sips, and then said: "Back to the princess, we brothers have walked around the slum area from yesterday to today, basically It is determined that the number of people there is around [-] to [-]."

"So much?"

Wang Xue had thought that there would be many poor people, but he did not expect there to be so many.

If she wasn't in the capital, she wouldn't be so surprised.

But here is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, there are still so many poor people who can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, and can't afford houses.

I really don't know what the emperor is busy with every day.

I didn't bother to understand the little things at my feet, I just dealt with the big things outside.

"Go on."

Wu Sheng continued: "there are a lot of people, and most of them are old and weak women and children. Some young and strong people can go to the street to beg for food, but they will not starve to death. Only those old people who can't walk, women It's hard to live with kids."

"Among these people, there are a small number of people who are basically hopeless. I'm afraid they will die in a short time, so I didn't count these people. In this way, I would need at least five dollars for food and clothing. Hundred to 1000 taels of silver."

"Ahem, how much?" Wang Xue almost choked on herself without taking a sip of tea.

Wu Sheng was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "Actually, you can press it, I think three 400 taels of silver should be okay."

"Wait, I didn't mean that." Wang Xue waved her hands hastily.

What she thought in her heart was that she was mentally prepared to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But she never expected this 1000 taels silver.

So are the prices in Liang Guo so low now?

Wu Sheng looked at Wang Xue, not understanding what she meant, and was speechless for a while.

Wang Xue thought for a while and asked, "Let me ask you, how much is an adult's clothes?"

"If it's the most common coarse linen clothes, an adult's clothes cost anywhere from one hundred to three hundred cash."

"What about the kid?"

"It's even less for children, ranging from fifty to one hundred Wen."

"What about the shoes?"

"I don't know shoes either. Ordinary cloth shoes only cost thirty or twenty yuan, and better ones cost only seventy or eighty yuan."

Wang Xue made a calculation in her heart, here one tael of silver is equal to one thousand wen.

In other words, one tael of silver can buy a lot of clothes and shoes.

no wonder
"What about the food? How do you calculate?"

"Rice is expensive, so what I count as noodles is what I count as noodles. A white flour steamed bun costs two pennies. If there are at least two for one person, it is four pennies. If counting two thousand people, it is less than ten taels of silver. It's rich"

 What, I have something to go out in the afternoon, I don’t know if there will be a next chapter tonight, sorry.
