It can be said that most of the current expenses of Ding'anbo Mansion are supported by Liu's dowry.
If there was no more Liu's dowry...
Ji Qin couldn't imagine what life would be like in Ding'an Bo Mansion!
If He Yunxi and the others had come to ask for the dowry earlier, she could have used various excuses and prepared some imitations and false accounts, but He Yunxi caught her off guard and gave her no time to prepare.
And she said it under such circumstances, so that she didn't even have a chance to cheat.
She took a breath and tried to calm herself down: "Mr. Chang'an County, please give me this dowry list first. I need to go back and sort it out one by one. I don't have a dowry list, and I don't know what there is."
She would tear it up when she got back. It would be nice if she could hide it a little bit later.
"I've thought about this too." He Yunxi said with a smile, then took a dowry list from Aunt Xing and said, "I copied this, it is exactly the same as the dowry list, and there are some other things like ornaments.
Price. With this, it will be convenient to calculate what is missing and how much silver is needed."
Only then did Ji Qin realize that He Yunxi's request for a dowry was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but was prepared for it!
Perhaps they have been preparing since they arrived in the capital.
And even though I knew they were back, I didn't think about the dowry.
That's why he was caught so unprepared.
"Mrs. Ding'anbo, please carefully compare this transcribed list with the dowry list. They are exactly the same." He Yunxi gave her the transcribed list and looked at her face turning pale and said, "Mrs. Ding'anbo, what's wrong with you? It's just right.
I have some medical skills and can look at it for you."
"No." Ji Qin said coldly, then realized that his tone was not right, smiled, and lowered his head to look at the two lists.
The items above are exactly the same, the difference is that there is a price behind each item.
"Mrs. Ding'an Bo, are these two lists the same?" He Yunxi asked.
"The same." Ji Qin looked at the price tags at the back and couldn't even laugh, "It's just that the price..."
"I asked Ziyu Auction House to get an estimate for this. This is the largest auction house. They said the estimate, it just needs to be low or not high," He Yunxi said.
Ji Qin was numb.
She really choked people up.
"I will go back and prepare." Ji Qin said.
"Then I'll trouble you to fix Mrs. Amber." He Yunxi said, "By the way, these things are easy to clean up in the house, but it's not easy to keep the accounts of those shops for more than ten years."
"I……"
Ji Qin was about to speak, but He Yunxi turned to look at Emperor Wen of Jin: "Father, there are more than a dozen shops here, and there are two Zhuangzi account books that have been in existence for more than ten years. The amount is a bit too large. Can Father help me find it?"
Mr. Accountants, how about a quick count?"
Ji Qin's heart trembled.
Emperor Wen of Jin sent people to check the accounts. Would she still dare to let people make false accounts?
She felt desperate, hoping that Emperor Wen of Jin would not agree to He Yunxi's request, but the next second she heard Emperor Wen of Jin say: "What's the problem? I'll allocate forty people to you, four for each shop, and I promise to give it to you in one day."
Take stock."
He Yunxi raised a big smile: "Thank you, father!"
Everyone took a breath, the emperor really doted on the head of Chang'an County! She wanted a few accountants, and Emperor Wen of Jin allocated dozens of them to her.
Ji Qin felt that his vision went dark, and he really wanted to faint on the spot.
He Yunxi saw that Ji Qin was about to faint and continued: "Mrs. Ding'anbo, my mother said that you have been managing these shops all these years. If there is a loss, we are willing to bear the loss and return the loss in full."
You. If it is profitable, I will share 10% of the profit as your management expenses for so many years."
Loss?
That doesn't exist.
Lu Yan had already checked. These shops are in particularly good locations and have been profitable in recent years. Otherwise, they would not be able to support the huge expenses of Ding'an Bo Mansion.
That's why she dared to boast about Haikou.
"Chang'an, have you agreed?" Emperor Wen of Jin urged her.
"Father, it's ready." He Yunxi took the dowry list back from Ji Qin's hand and walked towards the emperor. When passing by Concubine Ji, his body shook as if he was frightened.
Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty felt his heart sink when he saw her like this.
Yes, no matter how calm He Yunxi usually behaves, she is still a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. The several times she was in danger must have frightened her.
Thinking of this, he looked at Concubine Ji with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Concubine Ji was a master of palace fighting. She knew what He Yunxi wanted to express when He Yunxi shook her head. When she looked up, she saw the emperor looking at her with a bad expression.
The tricks are low-level, but they are useless.
He Yunxi, this bitch!
"Your concubine, you sent people to threaten the new champion, and threatened Chang'an to be widowed. This is unbecoming of a concubine, so you should reflect on it in Zhongcui Palace first." Emperor Wen of Jin said.
"Father, are you trying to restrain the mother-in-law? The mother-in-law is just..."
"Confining the Sixth Princess to Fanghua Palace, no one is allowed to visit her."
"Father..." Liang Jinrui said.
Emperor Wen of Jin looked at Liang Jinrui: "Third brother, do you also think they are right?"
Liang Jinrui opened his mouth, saw the anger in Emperor Wen of Jin's eyes, then lowered his head and said, "Can the sixth sister and the mother concubine be grounded together? This way the mother concubine can teach the sixth sister well."
"No need. Let's leave the teaching to the queen."
Isn’t it Concubine Ji who has been teaching all these years? What kind of teaching has this become!
My own daughter would actually compete with someone else for her husband, and even wanted to kill the other person to move her position!
If this person is not He Yunxi and does not have her ability, will she really succeed?
He is truly shameless and cruel.
How can someone with such a character be worthy of being a princess of a country?
Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He shook his sleeves and left.
Liang Jinxi and He Yunxi quickly followed, and Li Yu followed with several eunuchs.
As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Ji also left with the Sixth Princess. Now the banquet can no longer continue.
Fortunately, the purpose of today's lotus banquet has been achieved, and everyone has almost eaten. The queen said some words and then let everyone go back.
The ladies from each family left with great shock. Although they were not selected as the prince's concubines, today's gossip was enough for them to discuss for a long time.
It can be expected that the news that He Yunxi is the head of Chang'an County will spread throughout the capital in a short time.
The queen sent the people away, returned to her palace, and sent everyone away, leaving only her close associates.
"Mother Yu, I am so happy today. Ji Lan likes to play tricks, and I have been plotted by her many times. But now she is a smart person, and in a moment of confusion, she actually attacks Yunxi."
