Chapter 1152 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 78
It’s not that Jiang Xinxin is hard to please, it’s just that the profit is so huge, how can she give it away so easily?
What's more, Big Fat Orange is not sincere. All those sent to Jingren Palace were royal tributes, and they had already been marked with royal marks. Jiang Xinxin died in this world, and they would have to be taken back according to the booklet later. If there was something missing without a proper reason, even the palace people in Jingren Palace would be held responsible.
So even if the things sent by Big Fat Orange are extremely rare, the ownership is not in her hands. How can Jiang Xinxin be moved?
After Big Fat Orange left, the Fourth Prince came to pay his respects.
The Fourth Prince's legitimate wife has not yet been determined, but now that the Third Prince has obviously been abandoned, the possibility of him taking the throne is indeed very high. So even if he is a little anxious about not having the support of his mother's family and not getting help from his wife's family, he can actually still keep stable.
So when it was his day off, he would come to Jingren Palace to pay his respects morning and evening.
At first, Jiang Xinxin would directly refuse, but seeing that the Fourth Prince persisted for a long time, she would occasionally let him in. However, this time the Fourth Prince came here really for the wool business.
However, the Fourth Prince also knew his own affairs, so he did not think of buying a share now. Instead, he thought that perhaps he could be responsible for a certain part of the affairs, so that he could formally show his face in front of the court officials.
So during his rest period, the Fourth Prince brought a box of brown sugar water chestnut cake made by Princess Gao and went to the Jingren Palace to pay his respects.
As soon as he entered the room and saw Jianqiu, the Fourth Prince hurriedly went up to her and handed her the food box in his hand. He smiled and exempted Jianqiu from the gift, explaining: "This is the Jiangnan snack, brown sugar water chestnut cake, made by Gao in my room. I tasted it and it was delicious, sweet but not greasy, and quite interesting, so I hurried over to offer my treasure."
Just because Jiang Xinxin tacitly agreed to the Fourth Prince's visit, Jianqiu looked up to him. What's more, the Fourth Prince had insisted on paying his respects for several years. Jianqiu felt that if a person could pretend for several years in a row, that was quite a skill.
Jianqiu also greeted her casually, "Your Majesty is getting old now, and she likes the sweet snacks from the south of the Yangtze River. She doesn't like the traditional northern flavors that are heavy in oil and salt. The fourth prince's brown sugar water chestnut cake came at the right time. Your Majesty will definitely like it."
Jiang Xinxin really liked it. The dark amber transparent pastry had white pieces of horseshoe in the middle. It was not only interesting to look at, but also very interesting to eat. For the sake of this pastry, Jiang Xinxin rarely spoke up: "Tell me, what do you want? I'm in a good mood today, just tell me the truth. If you miss this moment today, there will be no future."
The Fourth Prince now understood Jiang Xinxin's character. If Jiang Xinxin asked him to tell the truth, she must be prepared to pay something. If he pretended, he would not only miss this good opportunity today, but would also be looked down upon in the future.
So the Fourth Prince asked directly: "Madam, do you have enough people working under you? If not, it would be good if I could help you with some trivial matters and share some of the burden with you."
Jiang Xinxin asked pointedly, "You came here today just to ask for a job, have you ever thought about getting a share in the wool business?"
The Fourth Prince didn't dare to play dumb in front of Jiang Xinxin, and said frankly: "The wool business in your hands is being watched by the entire capital and Mongolia. If I, a bald prince with no one to rely on, rush in without thinking, I might be gone any day."
"Now that the Emperor is reluctant to give up his power, I can't always stand in the court as a decoration. I might as well take this opportunity to gain experience and get to know more people. After all, you won't let your son work in vain. This salary should be enough for your son to support the family on a daily basis."
The Fourth Prince was also deliberately playing the victim. He really didn't know how expensive food and firewood were until he ran the household. There were only two princesses in his house, but after they came in, his private treasury was almost completely spent. If Gao Bin hadn't subsidized him a little in disguise for the sake of Gao's family, he would probably be penniless now.
Jiang Xinxin could see that the Fourth Prince's words were not empty words. She affirmed the Fourth Prince's choice, but she did not have the power to let him leave the capital at the moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this, you go find Yue Xing'a and ask him to teach you how to read the account book. Let me see your quality too, and then I can decide on the specific arrangements for you to do."
The Fourth Prince didn't think that Jiang Xinxin wanted to train him to be an accountant. He had to deal with account books right from the start. If he hadn't served diligently over the years, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity now.
The Fourth Prince left Jingren Palace with excitement, which of course immediately attracted the attention of everyone. The most dissatisfied was the Third Prince who lived next door to the Fourth Prince.
Unfortunately, the Third Prince was an unsuccessful bully. In the past, he dared to get angry with his wife Qingying and deliberately favored his concubine to embarrass Qingying. But after Qingying entered the gate of Jingren Palace, he only dared to say a few harsh words to Qingying and did not even dare to favor his concubine and abandon his wife.
Even if he wanted to favor his concubine over his wife, his biological mother, Concubine Qi, would not agree, even though the concubine he deliberately promoted, Xiao Li, was his legitimate cousin.
The Third Prince even felt that Jingren Palace was a huge mountain blocking his ascent to the throne. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability and determination to move mountains like Yugong. Now, he did not even dare to vent his anger on Qingying. Now, he guessed that his adopted brother, the Fourth Prince, might have taken advantage of Jingren Palace. He could only curse the Fourth Prince and sulk in his study.
When Big Fat Orange received news from all sides, he just let out a long sigh and became more and more disappointed with the Third Prince, who was actually the eldest son. Fortunately, although he married a legitimate wife from the Ulanara clan, the Ulanara clan was no longer able to provide him with any help. In fact, because of the rumors that Jiang Xinxin had spread, the Third Prince was even cut off from the possibility of ascending to the throne.
But no matter what the Fourth Prince got from Jingren Palace, the fact that he could still enter Jingren Palace under such circumstances is itself a reflection of his ability. Moreover, the Fourth Prince did not get involved with the wool-taking elements, but chose to help Jingren Palace. Although he lost a huge amount of wealth, in the long run, he gained more.
The team from the capital to Mongolia could not just transport wool, woolen clothes and woolen pieces, they would also bring many items to sell along the way. Although Khalkha and the capital were separated by several tribes in the south of the desert, Jiang Xinxin's participation was not just talk. Moreover, the fourth princess was able to become the ruler of Khalkha not just because of her status as a princess.
So Yue Xing'a led his men all the way there and opened up a new trade route from the capital to Mobei. The several tribes they passed by also welcomed them very much, especially their woolen clothes and woolen sheets, which were very effective in keeping out the cold. In this way, a new wool base was negotiated.
The Fourth Prince knew how prosperous the wool business was just by looking at the account book, but the unique way of recording accounts in the account book did not escape his eyes.
"This accounting method seems to be different from the common account book..." The Fourth Prince asked Yue Xing'a tactfully.
Yue Xing'a also felt that there was something wrong and said directly: "It is a new accounting method that the princess learned from the queen. It was a little troublesome at first, but after getting used to it, you will find its great benefits."
