Chapter 168 It’s snowing heavily
Zhu Xuntao smiled awkwardly and didn’t deny it.
If she had a choice, she wouldn’t do it this way.
But she hadn’t been married to Xiao Jingzhan for a long time, and she didn’t find out what Xiao Jingzhan’s preferences were that would make it easier for her to please Xiao Jingzhan and ask him for help.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jingzhan, who was extremely indifferent to everything, only
showed a little bit of persistence when he was with her.
In desperation, Zhu Xuntao had to bribe Xiao Jingzhan with her beauty.
Xiao Jingzhan was angry and amused, pinched Zhu Xuntao’s face, and said very honestly:
"If every night in the future, my wife behaves like last night, as long as my wife opens her mouth, I will obey her."
He really couldn’t help it, this method was too useful to him.
"Husband, you should go out. What if you miss the morning court?"
Zhu Xuntao pushed Xiao Jingzhan out of the door, ignoring his last words.
For some things, she didn't mind Xiao Jingzhan dreaming in the daytime, as long as she wouldn't cooperate.
After sending Xiao Jingzhan out of the room, Zhu Xuntao rushed to the bed with her eyes closed.
The bed had only been occupied for a short time, and firewood had been burned, so it was very warm.
As soon as Zhu Xuntao lay down, she felt so comfortable that her brows relaxed. After a sigh, she fell asleep in seconds.
Really...
she was so sleepy...
When Zhu Xuntao woke up after sleeping enough, it was already an hour and a half later.
Zhu Xuntao stretched her lazy waist, slowly put on the clothes that Qiuyue had warmed for her, and washed her face.
After drinking a glass of water and a meal, Zhu Xuntao recovered.
"Qiuyue, bring me the things I wrote yesterday. Let me take a look to make sure I missed something." Qiuyue, who
had already cleaned up for Zhu Xuntao, paused.
"Princess, the things you wrote are not on the table."
"I didn't see them when I was cleaning up just now. Did I lose them? That's impossible. They're not under the table either."
After saying that, Qiuyue handed the work in her hands to others and went to help Zhu Xuntao find the things.
After searching for a while, Zhu Xuntao patted his head:
"I was so sleepy, Qiuyue, don't look for it. I have already given that thing to Xiao Jingzhan..."
"Oh... OK."
Qiuyue responded, and then stacked the account books that Zhu Xuntao had calculated:
"Princess, these have been dealt with. Should I ask someone to move them to Butler Yang?"
Seeing Zhu Xuntao nod, Qiuyue called a few maids, and every day they would rush out with a few books to find Butler Yang.
Upon seeing these account books, Butler Yang changed his previous gloomy face and smiled:
"It's really hard for the Crown Princess to sort out so many accounts in such a short time."
"In the future, I will definitely ask the Crown Princess for advice so that the accounts can be made simpler and clearer, which will facilitate the Crown Princess's calculations." The
servants in the entire Marquis's mansion are very clear about the attitude of the Marquis's wife.
It's not that the Marquis's wife is unwilling to give the power of the head of the family, but that Zhu Xuntao, the Crown Princess, is unwilling to take it.
If Zhu Xuntao is willing, the Marquis's wife will only be happy that she can get rid of these tedious chores early.
Their situation is completely opposite to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in other mansions.
The servants in the Marquis's mansion said that they can't find such a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law anywhere else.
The Marquis's wife and the Crown Princess in their family are both extraordinary and strange.
Because of this, when Steward Yang spoke, he would definitely send the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion to Zhu Xuntao after he finished them,
so as to save the Marquis's wife and save everyone some time.
Qiuyue saluted Steward Yang:
"If Steward Yang has nothing else to do, then I will go back to serve the Crown Prince's Consort."
Knowing that Qiuyue was trusted by Zhu Xuntao, Steward Yang was very friendly to Qiuyue:
"Then go quickly. The Crown Prince's Consort values you, and you need to help the Crown Prince's Consort more attentively."
"Yes, Steward Yang."
After all the accounts were handled, Zhu Xuntao only had to take care of his own Silver Mirror Shop, and his daily tasks were reduced by more than half.
Even Xiao Jingshen was given a holiday by Zhu Xuntao, so that he could play by himself. Xiao Jingshen thought that the prince asked him to learn skills from Zhu Xuntao
, and there was no urgency, so it would be okay to relax for a while. The important thing was that Xiao Jingshen also wanted to use today's time to sort out the skills he had learned from Zhu Xuntao recently. Otherwise, Xiao Jingshen was worried that he would not be able to remember them well. Under Zhu Xuntao's guidance, Xiao Jingshen also preferred to write down all his ideas with pen and paper, without any laziness. On the other hand, Zhu Xuntao was tired and everything was going on in an orderly manner, which made her feel very comfortable. On the other hand, Xiao Jingzhan took the latest plan given by Zhu Xuntao and read it on the way to court. After reading it, Xiao Jingzhan put the things away and decided to study it with the prince after leaving court. Therefore, during the court session, the national affairs raised by so many ministers did not attract the prince's attention. Instead, after the court session, when he saw what Xiao Jingzhan took out, the prince showed a different spirit: "What is Zhu Xuntao going to do now?" "You can see for yourself." No wonder Zhu Xuntao wrote such a large stack of paper, listing all the rules and regulations for him. It is not easy to explain it in a few words, and it is especially easy to miss something. "So this is how Zhu Xuntao arranged it?" After reading Zhu Xuntao's plan, the prince didn't know what to say. It's just... It seems that Zhu Xuntao always sees things farther than himself, making him, a grown man as a prince, seem to be extremely short-sighted and not thinking things through.
"Prince, do you think it's feasible?"
Xiao Jingzhan asked in a symbolic way.
If Zhu Xuntao's plan didn't work, then the ministers in the court couldn't think of any good solution.
"It's feasible!"
The prince slapped the table, but carefully put Zhu Xuntao's plan aside,
"I will send people to help Zhu Xuntao, so that her plan won't be ruined by evil people."
In the original book, the grain that Zhu Xuntao and the prince collected this year was taken away by grain merchants after ruthlessly lowering the price. He took the opportunity to make a fortune and became the richest man in the Great Yong Dynasty.
But with the appearance of the two variables of Zhu Xuntao and Zhu Yingyan, the grain merchant plan in the original book that could make a fortune was bound to fail.
She must have been holding a grudge for not receiving the food, and wanted to snatch it back.
At this time, Zhu Xuntao's people were unable to deal with such a situation,
so she sought help from Xiao Jingzhan, thinking that if Xiao Jingzhan couldn't do it, there was still the prince.
In short, they couldn't let her be short of people, right?
The prince had just sent people to deal with Zhu Xuntao's affairs in a hurry, and the heavy snow that was "predicted" by Master Mingdeng finally fell.
"Sister-in-law, look, it's snowing, it's snowing, the snow this year is so heavy."
