Chapter 40: Help yourself, help yourself(1/3)
Time turns.
Before I knew it, it was already half of February.
There is still half a month to go until the beginning of March, and the Liu Mansion has begun to get busy.
Not only the Liu Mansion was busy, but also the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
There are also officials from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, the Qintian Supervisor... all the officials in various ministries and offices have also become busy.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is leaving the cabinet, Her Royal Highness the Second Prince is marrying a concubine, and His Highness the Third Prince is marrying the Concubine.
In just three days, the three highnesses had to complete their lifelong mission.
For the eunuchs and maids in the palace, as well as the officials in various ministries and offices responsible for the wedding, it is a big deal.
In the palace, in the cabinet.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Zongren of the Zongren Mansion, the General Manager of the Internal Affairs Office, the Chief Manager of the Imperial Kitchen, the Female Officer in charge of the Clothing Room... and other officials were surrounding Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and they were arguing loudly with each other.
With.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes fell on Guan Yuqiu's body expectantly.
After all, the person you are taking orders from is the empress Liu Song.
"Everyone, I heard that their affairs are all very important.
You also want to give them a little less money, but the key is that I do what you say."
Official Yu Qiuqi looked around for a while, then looked at everyone with a smile.
"Yes, brother, let's go then."
When Uncle Xing saw this, he immediately bowed back.
If that's the case, they should go to His Majesty to discuss it together.
"If it was an accident, it probably has nothing to do with the wedding of Yiyi, Chengzhi, Chenggan and our eight siblings.
"Colleagues, what you dare to say will sound bad.
Moreover, in addition to the phoenix crown and harem that the little princess will wear in the palace, the wedding dresses of the two princes and concubines also need to be made by your clan house, and they are also phoenix crown and harem.
Guan Yuqiu fiddled with the tea cover of his watch heavily, looked up at the Minister of Rites, the young manager of the imperial kitchen and others, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Liu Fudan smiled and hugged a fist, then quickly turned around and walked towards Liangju next to him.
After hearing Guan Yuqiu's words, everyone's faces froze and they all frowned involuntarily.
"Sister Yun, the eldest sister is about 10% behind."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
According to the time limit given by Your Majesty, the palace maids of your clan's mansion simply spared little time to wait.
"Old ginger?"
"Everyone, everyone, stop for a moment and listen to what I have to say. Is it bad?"
"Didn't we tell him why he came to the door?"
As for whether they can succeed, I can guarantee that it all depends on their luck."
"Mr. Li, you're rude, you're rude.
"Manager Liu."
"Daba, come back."
The Eighth Princess held a thin pen mark under the booklet in her hand, and immediately moved towards Liu Song.
Half a day ago, everyone rode in a carriage and arrived at Yu Qiu's small door.
Guan Yuqiu took a sip of tea, smiled wryly and scratched his head.
"I'm coming."
"Oh? Why are we here?"
Hahaha, hahaha, I will go back and do my business first.
"Young man, Mr. Qin, Mr. Li Zongling, Mr. He, Sister Qiutong, why are they here?"
When Xing Boyan, Qin Ziying and others saw this, they looked at each other and followed suit.
"Sister, sisters, how are they preparing the dowry for girl Yiyi?"
"Yes, yes, Jiang Yuanming, seeing that Shangguan and others are in such a difficult situation now, shouldn't he allocate less money?"
"Old Jiang, let him tell you."
Qi Yuntong, Cheng Zhicheng and others watched the figure of Liu Mansion riding away, then turned to look at Yu Qiu's small door and waited silently.
Guan Yuqiu put down the tea in his hand, stood up and started pacing back and forth.
"Is there nothing wrong?"
As for what it is, the biggest one is Hanhu Lake."
"You gentlemen, please ask them to wait here for a moment.
When Uncle Xing heard this, he subconsciously looked towards the warehouse.
"Jiang Yuanming, Shangguan and others are all ears."
"The big ones are here to see all the ladies."
"My slave is here."
"Uh-huh, cough, cough, colleagues."
"Ah? Are you looking for Mr. Duo? Are you looking for Mrs. Duo?"
However, the amount of money he allocated to your various ministries and offices is really enough to support the expenses of the weddings of the eight princes.
"Sister, you don't have any problems there."
"Sister Yun, at that time, should we be preparing for the wedding of Yiyi, Chengzhi, Chenggan and our eight siblings outside the palace?
"Colleagues, I can't give him any advice regarding that matter.
"That's true." As soon as Guan Yuqiu said this, the quarrel in the side hall suddenly stopped.
"Old Jiang, we are all veterans of the court. Does he still understand what kind of character your Majesty is like?
Liu Song glanced at the small boxes around him with a smile and nodded. Just when he was about to speak, Da Ba's shouts suddenly came from the warehouse.
"Big Eight."
Even though the specifications of the palace banquet are displayed outside, you can also cut corners on the ingredients.
Facing Xing Boyan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Qi Yuntong's tone said that he was too bad, but he also said that he was very polite.
"Jiang Yuanming, what he said is quite coincidental.
"Bad, bad, bad, Brother Liu, let him go and do his work first."
I know how the other ministries and offices are doing. Anyway, you, Xing Boyan, do have some spare money?"
Guan Yuqiu looked at the group of people who looked gloomy and coughed several times under the pressure of his throat.
It's a pity that the money they mentioned is not approved by me."
They can always let me follow His Majesty's will and allocate money to them privately without telling me, right?"
"I think it's time to take a trip through the tunnel."
"The Ministry of Etiquette is not only responsible for the small weddings of the eight princes, but also responsible for receiving the missing guests. Do you have any spare money?"
"Sister Yun, everything on my sister's side is not ready yet. The dowry you specially prepared has not been delivered yet this morning."
Take care of yourself, take care of yourself.”
"Jiang Yuanming?"
As soon as Guan Yuqiu said this, everyone returned to their seats and sat down with depressed expressions.
"Hahaha, Master Yu's words don't make sense, they don't make sense."
