Then the Ning family members entered the courtyard one after another, and Shi Bo was indeed the old man in charge of the mansion, and he quickly allocated residences to each master.
The best main courtyard in the courtyard is Ning Xiaotang's.
"Princess, there is a hot spring in the main courtyard, where you can relax and unwind!"
"Okay, Uncle Shi, go prepare dinner for tonight and have the kitchen staff make some light meals, nothing too greasy! We're all on our way, so just make some porridge and some light side dishes!"
"Yes, Princess!" Shi Bo immediately bowed and left.
That night, everyone was very tired, so they went to bed after eating.
In the princess's main courtyard
"Uncle Shi, how have you been living these past few months?"
Although Ning Xiaotang has a monthly salary, she did not come back to collect it herself, so other people have no chance to receive it. At the very least, they need her personal seal to cash out the monthly salary.
"Reporting to the princess, for the past few months, the steward of Prince Chen's Mansion has been distributing the monthly allowance and some normal expenses to the princess's mansion in advance."
“It turns out that Ye Jingxiao sent someone to deal with it!”
Shi Bo immediately wiped his forehead. The princess actually dared to call King Chen by his name. She was really strong!
"Alright, Uncle Shi, take my personal seal and go to the palace tomorrow to collect your salary for the next few months!"
"Yes, I obey your order!" Shi Yicheng immediately took the private seal with both hands and put it in his arms.
Around noon the next day
"My Lord, I have received my monthly salary. Should I give it to you for your disposal? Or should I keep it in the household reserve?"
"Stay in the cabinet, but make sure every use of the money is recorded clearly, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you mercilessly!"
Shi Yicheng immediately trembled: "I respect the princess's order!"
Quan Yue stepped forward and took back the princess's private seal from Shi Yicheng's hand.
"Miss, this Shi Yicheng is an old steward. Are you worried about him?"
"Quanyue, this Shi Yicheng is the old steward, yes, but he works in my mansion. If he goes behind my back and does something false or concealed, I won't kill him, but I hate it the most. Rather than letting him go astray, it's better to tell him my bottom line directly. Once it's crossed, even if he's the old steward, I won't let him stay!"
Quan Yue immediately said, "Young lady, you are indeed thoughtful. If Manager Shi listens to your advice, he will definitely work harder, with less flattery and more serious work."
"That's right!" Ning Xiaotang took her private seal and looked at it.
I thought to myself, although Kyoto is very prosperous, it is also a big city for spending money. If I sell the first-grade elixirs refined in my space here, I can probably make a small profit, even if I am conservative.
"Quanyue, you stay here, I'm going to my room to change into clothes!"
"Yes, girl!" Quan Yue immediately stood outside the door.
After Ning Xiaotang entered the inner room, she slipped into the space and immediately took a bag of first-grade pills on the table.
"Master, this is the elixir you refined. What are you going to do with it?" The little white fox looked like it was protecting its food, stretching out its front paws to stop Ning Xiaotang from taking the elixir.
"Little White Fox, I clearly had three bags of pills here, but now there's only this one bag left. Do you think you've hidden it?"
"Master, hiccup, I ate them all!" The little white fox blinked its eyes.
"Hmph! You've eaten so many pills so quickly. I'm really worried you'll become a bad fox who specializes in stealing pills!"
"Master, you don't care about the little white fox anymore? It was because of you that the little white fox caused Qian Fangchun to catch a cold!"
"Oh? So it was you who caused Qian Fangchun to catch a cold?" Ning Xiaotang immediately stared at the little white fox and asked.
"My Lord, that's right!"
"That's fine. These two pills are for you!" At this time, Ning Xiaotang took out two pills from the bag, put them on the table, and then slipped out.
After coming out, he found a set of outer clothes in the closet to change into.
"Quan Yue, come in!"
Quan Yue immediately opened the door and walked in: "Girl, you look really beautiful today!"
"Well, of course it looks good in the new clothes that mother made for me!"
"Come on, let's go to Kyoto for a stroll."
Then the master and servant left the princess's mansion.
In the dark, Jinshan immediately said to Jinshi beside him, "Hurry up and inform Princess Lan that Ning Xiaotang has left for the auction!"
Then Jinshi immediately dodged and left.
As soon as their injuries healed, they were already eager to see what would happen to Ning Xiaotang after Lan Yuehong tortured her.
Lan Yuehong was in the Bo Mansion: "Princess, that Ning Xiaotang has already gone to the auction!"
"Great! Going to the auction? I'll make sure she gets nothing! Let's go!"
Lan Yuehong immediately took a carriage and rushed to the auction.
"How's it going? Did Ning Xiaotang go in?" Jinshan immediately reported, "She went in!"
"Alright, today I'll make sure she knows that a mere peasant girl like her doesn't have the ability to survive in Kyoto!"
Lan Yuehong immediately entered the auction in a blatant manner.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang was in the VIP room on the first floor.
"My dear friend, although this is a first-grade elixir, it contains third-grade medicinal ingredients, so it is of the highest quality among first-grade elixirs! How many are you planning to auction off?"
"This whole bag is being auctioned. How much silver do you estimate one is worth?" Ning Xiaotang asked the manager in a cute tone.
"This~this whole bag is being auctioned off? Okay, fine, the starting price for a top-grade, first-class elixir is six thousand taels of silver!"
The auction staff then immediately found many small bottles and packed the pills in them.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang was invited to the VIP room on the second floor. As soon as she sat down, she saw Lan Yuehong's arrogant look not far away.
"Miss, Lan Yuehong is here. It seems that we were discovered by her people when we left the house just now." Ling Hu immediately bowed and reported.
"It's okay, I guessed that she wouldn't be able to wait and follow me. There will definitely be something interesting to watch soon!" Ning Xiaotang's little mouth corners rose slightly.
When a golden hairpin appeared, Ning Xiaotang immediately took the lead in bidding: "Three thousand one hundred taels!"
Lan Yuehong immediately followed suit and clapped: "Three thousand five hundred taels!"
At this time, Ning Lantang nodded to Quan Yue: "Four thousand taels!"
Lan Yuehong immediately smiled proudly and bid again: "Four thousand five hundred taels!"
After Lan Yuehong finished bidding again, Ning Xiaotang was indeed very quiet, as if she didn't like the hairpin.
Lan Yuehong bought several items at auction at high prices.
Although this was a magnificent occasion, Lan Yuehong only had one hundred taels of silver left.
"Princess, there are only one hundred taels of silver left!" Jinshan held the auction items he won today in his hands.
These are all women's accessories, and it can be said that their value far exceeds what they should be worth.
"Hmph! As long as Ning Xiaotang doesn't get any of it, that's fine!" Lan Yuehong didn't care how useful the jewelry was to her; the key was to prevent Ning Xiaotang from getting it.
