After hearing what Li Zhiyi said, Chu Mobai was obviously relieved.
Although these several hundred taels of silver are not a lot, it is still a relatively large sum of money that Chu Mobai can get from the palace.
But then Chu Mobai did not look in Qian Ruoyu's direction.
In his opinion, not only did he feel that there was no need to ask Qian Ruoyu for money, but he also didn't think Qian Ruoyu could come up with any money.
He had already taken a few glances at the gold and silver jewelry and rouge and powder in Qian Ruoyu's warehouse, but those things couldn't even fetch a hundred taels of silver if they were sold!
Not to mention what valuable things can be found in Qian Ruoyu's yard.
It is for this reason that Chu Mobai does not think Qian Ruoyu can provide much help.
Qian Ruoyu glanced at him, and Chu Mobai also glanced at her.
In the end, the two looked at each other in silence.
Then Chu Mobai comforted Li Zhiyi in front of him.
"The war is not serious yet, so you may need more silver, but there may not be a real war. If there is no war, I will definitely give you the extra silver first, and also give you a reward. What do you think?"
When Li Zhiyi heard this, she immediately nodded heavily.
Right after that, Li Zhiyi deliberately gave Qian Ruoyu a look.
Qian Ruoyu didn't even look at him, and just stood there calmly.
Afterwards, Chu Mobai had no desire to talk to Qian Ruoyu at all, and just turned around and left!
Seeing this scene, Qian Ruoyu was about to get angry. After all, he had already come to the gate of his yard, but he had no desire to chat with him at all, and even just left like that!
Even though Qian Ruoyu was angry, she didn't intend to show it, as doing so would only make Li Zhiyi even more proud.
After Qian Ruoyu left, Li Zhiyi gave Qian Ruoyu several looks, wanting to see what Qian Ruoyu's expression was. She wanted to see how angry Qian Ruoyu was.
But Qian Ruoyu's indifferent appearance made Li Zhiyi unable to see any fun at all, and finally she could only choose to turn around and leave.
Not long after Chu Mobai left, Si Yin behind him asked.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Princess? Maybe the Princess has some money..."
Si Ze also spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the princess is the daughter of the prime minister after all, and the prime minister did not say anything in the court this time. Maybe the prime minister is secretly supporting you?"
"If the Prime Minister really supports you, it shouldn't be a problem to take out a few thousand taels of silver..."
But after hearing this, Chu Mobai sneered.
"Prime Minister Qian, haha!"
"It's better not to mention it. You two are my confidants. You must know one thing. The father of that woman is an old venomous snake in the court, but he is not as simple as he appears on the surface."
"That old venomous snake is already like that, not to mention his daughter. Qian Ruoyu looks harmless, but don't forget how she acted before she married into the palace."
But right after that, Si Yin began to persuade him.
"Your Highness, I heard that the princess's personality has changed a lot... Before this, not many people liked the princess, but now everything has changed!"
Si Ze also said.
"Yes, yes. I heard that the princess did a great job in the kitchen this time, and everyone in the kitchen likes her!"
"Plus, with the princess taking over the kitchen, there will be more delicious food in the kitchen. My brother and I used to like going out in the middle of the night to eat something delicious, but now we don't want to do that anymore because there are so many good things in the kitchen of the palace!"
Although he heard the two people's persuasion, Chu Mobai still just snorted coldly.
He didn't blame them and didn't say much. He just walked forward. Si Yin and Si Ze had no choice but to follow behind him.
And just after Li Zhiyi left Qian Ruoyu's yard, Qian Ruoyu immediately stomped his feet in anger.
"Stinky man!"
Yan'er, who was standing by, saw Qian Ruoyu's expression and naturally guessed what was in Qian Ruoyu's mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Shortly after this, Qian Ruoyu said directly.
"Hmph, take it or leave it, I have plenty of silver anyway, it's just a few hundred taels of silver, then I'll donate tens of thousands of taels of silver to you, and then we'll see what you can do!"
Qian Ruoyu then looked at Yan'er who was standing aside. Yan'er didn't dare to say anything more and quickly took a few maids to do some work nearby.
Qian Ruoyu returned to the room, opened the laboratory, and found a bill inside.
The bill records the pharmacy's daily income, as well as the entry and exit of herbs in the warehouse.
This bill is updated every day, so Qian Ruoyu can see very detailed information on it.
"Yesterday's sales reached thirty taels of silver, and the day before yesterday's sales were twenty-nine taels of silver. It seems that the daily income should be more or less stable over this period of time."
Qian Ruoyu thought about it for a while and calculated that he had earned nearly three hundred taels of silver in these ten days.
But even so, Qian Ruoyu was still not satisfied in her heart, because the most important highlight had not yet appeared, that is, this time Qian Ruoyu decided to sell some more high-end goods.
Those are naturally the gold and silver jewelry that were previously brought over from the Western Regions.
After all, the war was only taking place on the border, and that place happened to be under the charge of Chu Mobai, so naturally it had nothing to do with the concubines in the harem.
Qian Ruoyu’s target was of course those concubines.
Those concubines had plenty of silver in their hands, and they had no chance to spend it, so naturally some silver accumulated in their hands.
Qian Ruoyu felt that perhaps now was the best time to sell those rouge and powder, and more importantly, she could use these things to build a better relationship between herself and them.
However, Qian Ruoyu was still thinking about one last question, which was what reason should she use to enter the palace?
Suddenly seeing the red lantern next to her, Qian Ruoyu remembered that tomorrow was the old lady’s birthday party.
And after the old lady’s birthday banquet, she must enter the palace.
In this way, he could follow the old lady into the palace under the pretext of her birthday banquet.
As long as Qian Ruoyu could enter the palace, she would be able to take all her gold and silver jewelry back. The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu feel extremely happy.
And right after that, Qian Ruoyu happily went towards the kitchen, wanting to see how the people in the kitchen were getting along.
