4.66 Sister-in-law, where did you get so much money?
That night, Rongguo Mansion, Li Wanyuan.

"Second sister is back?" Looking at Yingchun, who was dressed in the Zanshan uniform of the Princess Mansion in front of the courtyard, and whose temperament and image had soared at least two blocks, Li Wan greeted her with a smile and pulled her back to the main room, "You have I haven't returned to the mansion for a few days, even the old lady complained several times, thinking that His Royal Highness Yongchang is overbearing, even Xiu Mu won't let him go!"

"Sister-in-law, I also want to come back and see the sisters, but there are not many people around the princess, and Sister Dongfang is always absent. If the younger sister doesn't care anymore, the house will be in chaos." Yingchun was pulled away. Sitting on the edge of the bed with Li Wan, his conversation changed a lot, "But the princess doesn't care much. There are so many chores in the huge mansion. The little girl wasted a lot of effort when she first got started. Fortunately, there is ice." My sister helped me and I managed to cope with it."

"Do you know you can do it? Don't show off to me!" Li Wan smiled and pushed her, "When did you come back? Have you ever returned to your ancestors?"

"I paid my respects as soon as I entered the door." Yingchun's cheeks were slightly red, and she took out a big red greeting card and handed it over and said, "Isn't this a good time to visit my sister-in-law before going to bed, and bring me some things by the way."

Li Wan immediately blushed. Even if she didn't read the content, she knew where the post was. Thinking about her experience over the past month, how could she not guess the reason?What's more, Yingchun is now the princess's palace Zanshan, and many things cannot be hidden at all, so that when the post was shown, both of them blushed.

"Your Highness," Li Wan complained helplessly, but did not have the guts to refuse, "That's all, but do you have any other explanation?"

"Tomorrow my little sister will have a rest, just in time to see the sisters; when I go back in the afternoon, it's cheaper for my elder sister-in-law to come and go together." Yingchun said softly, "It'll be nice for nephew Lan to come with us by then. Anyway, Princess has arrangements too. "

"How many people did that cruel and short-lived person provoke?" Li Wan muttered angrily, but when he saw Yingchun's pretty face turned red instantly, he couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, is the second sister still feeling resentful now? "

"Little sister, I already had it." Yingchun blushed and gave Li Wan a slap, but then he submissively let her take her into his arms, "Where is the retreat? It's just that these days, following the princess has opened up a lot of horizons. Really understand what the saying "I would rather be a hero's concubine than a reckless man's wife" really means, and why so many strange women are willing to do this.

What's more, now that he has the reputation of praising kindness, how can he think about anything else?Anyway, future marriages will require the princess to speak up, and even she. Looking at the things in the house now, she is actually glad that she followed her sister-in-law's arrangement, and is no longer like a frog in a well, only seeing a patch of sky as big as a palm. "

"Unfortunately, I didn't think so at the beginning." Li Wan was very emotional, "I originally thought that with his ability and his status, the concubine of the Duke's Mansion and the noble son of the humble family have always been the best. Marriage arrangement, but I don't think he can do anything, even the princess can swallow his anger and let him do whatever he wants, making me a villain for nothing, and even meeting a princess like this"

"Sister-in-law!" Yingchun interrupted her with a blushing face, "With His Highness's reputation these days, it's been a lot easier for you in the house."

"Yes, even Feng Lazi is extremely nervous now, for fear that I will take away her reputation again." Li Wan couldn't help laughing, "But I don't know that I am so busy now, how can I have time to take care of these things? ?”

"My little sister didn't expect that Brother Zhou would be so relieved that millions of dollars of wealth would be handed over to the princess, and the princess would backhand you and make you work hard." Yingchun's cheeks were slightly red, and her tone was filled with admiration, "Little sister Ting Bing My sister said that he has made a lot of contributions in Huguang, and all of them are in the eyes of the higher-ups, and it will be a matter of time before he comes back."

"When he comes back, does the princess have any plans?" Li Wan can definitely be ranked among the top three people who want Zhou Yang to make progress at the moment. "Well, I mean, the princess can handle your affairs."

"Sister-in-law!" Yingchun's pretty face flushed suddenly, and her previous praising demeanor was gone. "Why should we ask about this kind of thing? Anyway, as long as we serve the princess with peace of mind, we won't have to worry about letting anyone down in the future."

"You, after all, you have thought less!" Li Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. This is the Yingchun she is familiar with. Just now she was worried about how Yingchun would arrange it if she became really smart and capable. "Now the princess's mansion , there are only two masters, the princess is naturally one, you and Sister Dongfang each count as half.

Not to mention the princess, Sister Dongfang was born in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Even if there is even a trace of the ancestral property left, it is enough for a girl to feed her. As for you, a silly girl, it would be good if the mansion does not hold you back. Unexpectedly, I can't help even half a cent; just like Sister Yuanchun, who has been in the palace for many years, apart from getting some money from here, there is no other help - take it! "

"Sister-in-law, where did you get so much money?" Yingchun looked stupidly at the stack of one hundred taels of silver notes in her hand, which added up to at least a thousand taels. She was a little overwhelmed, "My little sister knows that you are in the house. Calculated every month, the total is only 20 taels per month."

"You forgot, I'm still in charge of it." Li Wan paused obviously when he said this, "His money, you said just now, is short. How can the snow brand business in the north of Gyeonggi only have a millionaire? It's just a millionaire Calculating the monthly income, the remaining amount that needs to be saved is around 10 taels every month." "So much?" Yingchun was immediately dumbfounded. Even though she was born in Rongguo Mansion, she had never seen it since she was a child. , when I heard that the money coming in and out that could be calculated in "ten thousand", it turned out that it was only when the general ledger was calculated at the end of each year, the money coming in and out of the house, "Sister-in-law, do you really manage so much money? What if something goes wrong."

"When I first took over, I was nervous every day, for fear that something would happen and I wouldn't be able to explain it." Li Wan sighed softly, his cheeks turning red just as he spoke, "Princess Tianxing gave me grace, and I can't explain it." I used to know, but now everyone in the forty-nine cities knows that our sisters are favored by the princess.

The servants of Xuezihao have also seen a lot of the world, and they are used to being arrogant and depressing. If it is only his arrangement, and he is three thousand miles away, expecting these dogs to be honest, I am afraid that I am going to be blind. Heart; now that you have the princess's love and face, who dares to blow their wings, not afraid that the princess will show their female power and take their heads? "

"Pfft..." Yingchun couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Princess Yongchang's usual lack of grooming and her habit of drinking some wine. "My little sister didn't expect that why Princess Yongchang is so beautiful in every house in Beijing." It is possible to have such affection; however, sister-in-law is right, if she loses her temper, how can a few servants handle it?"

"Isn't that true?" Li Wan showed a delighted smile, "Now that Zhang Dehui comes to visit, he doesn't have the courage to stand up and speak if I don't speak; not to mention the other semicolon shopkeepers, every time he sees someone who comes to report, it's... No one dares to get up; even the collection and transportation of money at the end of the month is now extremely smooth."

"With all this money, we can't just put it all in Brother Zhou's yard, right?" Now it was Yingchun's turn to feel worried.

"I didn't dare to transport it to the city. I always told the Jinmen branch in advance that after the accounts were reconciled in the city, they would be transferred outside the city. It was his tavern. After the accounts were reconciled, they would all be shipped to the Tianjin Port and sent by sea. Go to Jinling, hand it over to Xue’s family or send it to Huguang.” Li Wan said with a sigh of relief, “There is only about 10 taels left here, it’s enough.”

"If that's the case, my little sister will go first." Yingchun was relieved and looked at the banknote in her hand with some hesitation.

"Idiot, why don't you worry about spending his money? You can just compensate him for the rest of your life." Li Wan couldn't help but laugh, hugged the pretty and blushing Yingchun, and raised his hand to caress her hot cheek, "Although I also You know, the princess’s house won’t be short of your expenses, let alone our house, which has a bunch of unspeakable things.

However, since the princess has given her the name of praise, we cannot be ungrateful. Not to mention the big expenses, it is not our turn to speak anyway. There is no need to bother the princess to give her approval for some small expenses on weekdays; So what if the princess spends his money anyway?He didn't have the guts to do anything. "

"Sister-in-law, what do you think is the role of the princess?" Yingchun said in a daze. The ancestors asked questions and left food before releasing it. It took nearly two hours. How could it have been like this before?

Not only my ancestors, but my father and wife also sent people from Wang Shanbao's family to say hello when they heard that I was coming back. The last time I came back, a concubine from the Beijing Palace came over to talk. When she saw me coming in, she actually stood up to greet me. Where is this? Is this a blessing that I can have? "

"Zi Yang only mentioned a few words, but didn't go into details. He just told me not to interfere too much." Li Wan said softly, "You should suffer good things if they happen. Anyway, it's him and the princess who are standing in the way. It's not our turn to worry." ?”

"That's all." With Yingchun's IQ and EQ, it was obvious that it was impossible to come up with the result, so he had no choice but to accept Li Wan's explanation, "It's late at night, and I don't want to disturb my sister-in-law's rest, so I'll go back to the yard and have a look. Two sisters.”

"That's fine, I won't keep you." Li Wan nodded with a smile, "Those two girls have been a lot boring since you were favored and went to serve in the princess's mansion. In addition to the daily wife and ancestors, they are indispensable in the courtyard. I spent most of the time in the morning and dusk making trouble in my place, and I don’t know what happened to what my ancestor said at the time about asking the nanny for advice.”

"That's right, how can a daughter's family be without education? It's better to learn something than to waste every day." Yingchun nodded, not knowing what she thought of, and turned around and said one more sentence, "Sister-in-law, you said you would wait until the Xue family's sister gets married in the future. Door, are we going to be subject to a lot of restrictions and can't we be as relaxed as we are now?"

"Sister Xue family, I'm afraid you don't have to worry anymore." Thinking of what he had experienced these days, Li Wan also had a complicated expression, "She won't make things difficult for you or anyone else in the future. I'm afraid it's herself. It’s less difficult.”

"Huh?" Yingchun looked confused, not knowing what Li Wan was talking about.
