Chapter 261 Touched

Zhu Xuntao didn’t even care about her own reputation, but put the reputation of the Yongjing Marquis’ Mansion before her own reputation,

which moved Jiang Yijing very much:

“Taotao, there can’t be a next time, our Yongjing Marquis’ Mansion is not a family that is fussy and particular.”

“Reputation can never be the most important thing, and we should always live happily and freely in this world.”

“You are not such a person who can’t let go of your reputation, Taotao.”

Zhu Xuntao can let go of it, but her reputation was ruined by Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan before, and

even if she had the chance, she would never explain it to others.

Zhu Xuntao can’t let go of it, but she doesn’t care about her own reputation, but she is afraid of bringing trouble to the Yongjing Marquis’ Mansion.

Jiang Yijing was both angry and amused about Zhu Xuntao:

"Taotao, remember, you are the most important person, everything else is fake!"

In the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, human life is the most important thing.

"Don't worry, mother, I understand."

"This matter is still within the controllable range. If it is handled cleanly, it will save some trouble."

Zhu Xuntao replied with a smile.

Reputation is something that can be said to be important or unimportant, but if you can hold it in your hands, you should try not to lose it.

She is an orphan and was almost adopted by someone. Did she turn against the sponsor?

For the sake of the orphanage, didn't she refuse in a good tone?

If she lost her temper with the sponsor on the spot and showed her stubbornness,

once the news spread, she would be accused of being innocent even though she was innocent.

Unfortunately, the orphanage lacked the sponsor's money, and the monthly living expenses became increasingly tight.

This is the situation caused by the pursuit of dignity.

In life, face and money are important, but the so-called dignity in private can be put aside a little.

That's why Zhu Xuntao always scolded Madam Sun casually when facing her, and then she

could clear the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion from the matter, and then Zhu Xuntao could have a clear conscience.

Otherwise, if the people of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion really blamed her,

she would try to make amends at that time, but it would be too late.

"Sister-in-law, don't you want to ask about the grain price today?"

Xiao Miluo didn't want Zhu Xuntao to keep nagging about Madam Sun.

In fact, every time Madam Sun's name was mentioned, Xiao Miluo felt annoyed.

If it were Zhu Xuntao, she would feel pain every time she heard it.

Therefore, it would be better for the name of Madam Sun to disappear from their Yongjing Marquis Mansion.

"Isn't it one and a half times the usual?"

Zhu Xuntao was not going to continue to explore the price any lower.

The disaster was a fact, and the difficulty of spring farming was even more of a fact.

Whether it was the crown prince or the fourth prince, the grain they had worked so hard to collect must be given to them as a profit.

As long as the royal family members don't make money against their conscience and force the common people to have no way to make a living,

she can barely accept the 1.5 times grain price.

Xiao Miluo laughed, "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing."

"Except for those who know about it, even if the people in the whole capital rack their brains, they will not guess that the grain price in the world today is actually controlled by a woman like sister-in-law."

As a woman, Xiao Miluo felt her blood boiling when she thought about what Zhu Xuntao did.

For the first time, she knew that if a woman has the ability, she can also do big things, things that affect the world!

Controlling grain prices, it sounds really cool.

"Want to learn?"

Seeing Xiao Miluo's eager look, Zhu Xuntao was not stingy and was willing to take Xiao Mige as her apprentice.

Xiao Miluo's eyes lit up at first, then she shook her head timidly:

"I'm not as good as my sister-in-law, I don't have such great ability."

Controlling grain prices, in the past, this was something she dared not even think about, but her sister-in-law did it.

"And sister-in-law, I understand, if it weren't for the snow disaster, you have repeatedly contributed glass and kangs to the emperor, which made the emperor willing to use you."

"Otherwise, neither the crown prince nor the fourth prince would be able to cooperate with you to control grain prices..." Even

if her sister-in-law could succeed, there is such a big premise.

She can't just hope for a natural disaster to fall in order to learn her sister-in-law's skills, right?

She can't do this.

She can't even think of glass and kang.

So, how can she become the second sister-in-law.

She has none of the right time, right place, and right people.

Patting Xiao Miluo on the head, Zhu Xuntao said that he was not in a hurry and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

When Xiao Miluo started working on it herself, she would find that things were not as difficult as she thought.

"Taotao, speaking of grain prices, looking at the weather, I'm afraid that spring ploughing will really not be possible."

Old Madam Sheng was full of worries.

No matter how well the grain prices are controlled now, when Zhu Xuntao, the crown prince and the fourth prince sell all the new grain,

there will be no more.

After that, the grain prices will no longer be controlled by Zhu Xuntao.

Thinking that the grain merchants should still have a batch of old grain, by then, how can the people afford it?

"Yes, if the new season's grain cannot be delivered this year, there will be problems in this world sooner or later."

Jiang Yijing's worries were no less than those of Old Lady Sheng.

"Ah..."

At this time, a man's sigh suddenly came out.

The women in the Marquis' Mansion looked up when they heard the voice. Great, the prince came to visit again.

With Zhu Xuntao marrying into the Marquis' Mansion of Yongjing, the prince also became a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion.

Fortunately, the emperor at this time no longer objects to the prince's frequent visits to the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion, because the emperor's focus is now on Zhu Xuntao.

Does the prince often go to the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion to get in touch with everyone in the mansion?

The prince is clearly running errands for the emperor to see if Zhu Xuntao has come up with anything good recently.

The huge wealth brought by glass and colored glaze has made the emperor taste the sweetness.

Even though everyone is worried about spring plowing.

Seeing the treasury full of silver, the emperor feels confident. He

only worries when he has no silver.

As long as there is silver, no matter what difficulties and troubles he encounters, he can always use silver to solve them.

Of course, it would be even better if the problem could be solved without spending the silver in the treasury.

Thinking that Zhu Xuntao could even make something as close to people's livelihood as a kang,

the emperor asked the prince to make this trip today just to ask Zhu Xuntao if

he had any ideas about spring plowing.

Before the prince had time to ask this question, he heard the women in the marquis's mansion worrying about spring plowing.

The prince, who was touched by what he said, could not help but sigh, and sighed in his heart that the people would suffer again.

"The prince is here?"

Jiang Yijing hurriedly asked the prince to sit down and poured tea for him.

Old Madam Sheng asked, "Are you going to finish dinner before going back today?"

Zhu Yingyan has not married, and the prince's princess has not been selected yet.

The two who were once a pair have become two difficult people at the same time in their lives.
