Chapter 815 Untitled
The palace has been very busy recently.
It's Chinese New Year, and the palace is naturally busy from top to bottom, ranging from Wang Zhizhi, who is in charge of the backyard, to the maids and women sweeping the floor. Everyone seems to wish they could spread more feet and hands.
Wang Zhizhi looked at the account book brought by the housekeeper. It clearly recorded the gifts sent by the officials this year. This is true every year. The officials below would pay filial piety to things, but in the past, although Situ Xu was the prince, it was even more so then and now.
It's different. Now his brother is the emperor, and he loves him very much. His status has been improved even more. So this year's gifts are more abundant and richer than before.
"Housekeeper, um, you put all these things in the warehouse. Keep this account book. When the prince comes back tonight, I will hand it to him personally." She originally wanted to say that she was the princess, but she changed her mind in the end. After all, this is
The housekeeper belongs to the prince, and now that a new fox charm has arrived in the backyard, she cannot let the prince down.
"Yes, Concubine. Concubine, this part is the account book that needs to be given or returned as a gift. Concubine, let's see if there are any problems?"
The butler handed over another order. Although the butler was a servant, he did not flatter Wang Zhizhi at all. Instead, he was extremely upright in everything he said and did.
Wang Zhizhi asked the maid to take it, and she drank a cup of tea first to moisten her throat before taking the account book from the maid's hand.
While looking at the account book, she asked, "Butler, in previous years, all the rewards from the palace should have come. Why haven't they come this year?"
The butler lowered his head and replied, "Back to the concubine, I don't know about this. If the concubine wants to know, she can ask the prince."
Wang Zhizhi was so blocked that she felt uncomfortable. How could she ask the prince about this matter? It seemed that she wanted to take advantage of the rewards in the palace. She glared at the butler fiercely, thinking, if it wasn't for you behind your back
With the support of the prince, I, the concubine, have already asked someone to pull you down and beat you.
Just when she was feeling angry, she saw a gift list that made her eyes widen. Everything on it was valuable. If only it was valuable, that would be it. The things inside were even more unacceptable to her.
Yes, those things are obviously things that women should give as gifts, such as the eight finest luminous pearls. All kinds of pearls, as well as various gems, jewelry, and some fabrics from the palace, etc.
The gift list was so heavy that her hands could hardly hold it.
"Butler, who is this gift list for?" Wang Zhizhi asked through gritted teeth, and she threw the list in front of the butler.
The butler took it and looked at it, narrowed his eyes, and then replied as usual, "This gift list was prepared according to the instructions of the prince." This means that if you want to know, you can ask the prince.
Wang Zhizhi was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She scolded the housekeeper fiercely in her heart, and said angrily, "Butler, what is your attitude? You are the housekeeper of the palace, and now this gift list was seen by this concubine. Could it be that I saw it from you.
I can’t ask you. What’s more, you are a butler, don’t you know where these things are sent? Could it be that you, the butler, are greedy?”
The butler Si Hao was not afraid of being slapped with a hat. Instead, he raised his head and replied seriously, "Back to the concubine, the prince just told me to prepare these things and send them to the designated place. The butler has no right to take care of other things."
This means that as a qualified steward, he will not ask questions that he should not know.
I went to buy a washbasin today, and the original one was broken. When I went to buy it, I saw the price, and I was so depressed. A washbasin cost twenty yuan. But my memory actually stayed in the era when it cost two yuan a piece. Oh my god
Grandpa, how long has it been since I bought a washbasin? Eight years, nine years, ten years, eleven or even longer.
