Chapter 1373 Qiao Xuan was a little dumbfounded
The Crown Princess took a quick look and saw that there were ten gift boxes sent by the Crown Prince!
You don’t even need to look at the rest to guess that it won’t be cheap.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Even if they couldn't be sold, these were all valuable things. It would be fine to keep them in the warehouse. Wouldn't they be useful for rewarding people?
It is true that Lord Shao is my right-hand man, but isn’t it a bit too much to reward him so much at once?
What was given away at once was worth at least hundreds of thousands of silver coins.
The Crown Princess was a little confused. How could the Crown Prince value Lord Shao so much?
Lord Shao is very good, but it seems that he thinks too highly of him.
"Put them all away and send them over tomorrow!" The Crown Princess sighed and didn't want to look at them anymore.
I feel even more sad after watching it.
The prince had spoken, and she couldn't stay secretly. She couldn't do such a thing.
The next day, this extremely generous New Year gift was delivered to Shao's house.
Shao Yunduan was not there, and Qiao Xuan was a little dumbfounded.
Although the things were all in gift boxes and I couldn't see anything at the moment and didn't know what they were, but looking at the situation, such a large cart, and the things coming from the East Palace, they must not be cheap.
This is really, really true.
She didn't dare to ask the people from the Eastern Palace whether they had sent the wrong message. While she was entertaining them with a smile and expressing her gratitude, she took the time to quietly instruct Lixia to add more money to her purse which was to be used as a reward for the young eunuch and Aunt Liang.
After returning to the East Palace, Aunt Liang reported everything to the Crown Princess. After a moment's thought, she added with a smile, "Mrs. Shao was very generous. She gave me fifty taels of silver as a reward. The eunuchs who followed me also received twenty taels each!"
Normally, if the master does not ask about such trivial matters, the servants do not have to report.
But this time Qiao Xuan gave so much that Aunt Liang thought it would be a good idea to say something.
Fifty taels?
Today, including the coachman, three young eunuchs went with him, and the total amount is sixty taels, a total of one hundred and ten taels, which is indeed not a small amount of money.
You know, even when the prince celebrated his birthday, the rewards he gave to his subordinates, even to a high-level manager like Aunt Liang, were only a few taels.
Therefore, both the Crown Princess and Nanny Fu were surprised.
Then the Crown Princess sneered again, "Since it's a reward, just keep it well."
Aunt Liang smiled and agreed, then stepped back.
The Crown Princess Fang said: "Mrs. Shao is really generous. She doesn't feel bad about spending Mr. Shao's money!"
The Crown Princess felt that she was really disappointed. This Qiao was really despised in every way! She didn't know how to manage a household at all.
With her pretentious and careless behavior, even if Lord Shao had a fortune, it would not be enough for her to squander!
Aunt Fu was a little confused, and chuckled softly, "I heard that the Shao family's strawberry garden made a lot of money from selling strawberries, so I think they have a lot of money on hand. Besides, Aunt Liang and the others were sent by the Eastern Palace, and Madam Shao respects the Crown Prince and you!"
The Crown Princess said, "You have to spend money to run a household. Lord Shao has to attend various social events in the officialdom. No matter how precious the strawberries are, how much can they sell for? But you are right. She has some conscience!"
Aunt Fu smiled and stopped speaking for Qiao Xuan.
The Crown Princess didn't know how much money the Shao family's strawberry farm made, but she knew a thing or two.
The precious fruit costs two taels of silver per plate. I heard that dozens of kilograms are sold to teahouses every day. It is a lot of money in a month.
