"Oh? What did Yue girl give?" The queen became even more interested at this time.
At this time, the Emperor and the Fifth Prince Li Jingyu also had an expression that said, "Hurry up and tell me."
Regardless of the Emperor and the others' curiosity, the Emperor and the Empress have been very busy recently because of the Second Prince's marriage. After all, it is the wedding of the legitimate son, and he may be the future emperor, so many things need to be reviewed personally by the Emperor and the Empress.
Now the family can sit down and have a meal together, which is a good time to take out of their busy schedule.
The Second Prince saw that his mother and the other two were curious, so he didn't hide it. "30,000 taels of silver!"
"Wow! My cousin is so rich!" The fifth prince looked at his second brother enviously, wondering if it was time for him to look for a princess as well. He wondered if his cousin would give him more than his second brother would.
Although the Empress and the Emperor were surprised, they still didn't fancy the thirty thousand taels. But it was not a small amount.
"Yue girl's private money?" The queen wondered if her niece had taken out all her small treasury! This was too honest. It seemed that she had to save some good things and give her more in the future.
When the Second Prince heard his mother ask this, he knew what she was thinking. She still underestimated her cousin's wealth. "Don't worry, mother. My cousin recently sold her vegetable growing method. She has plenty of pocket money."
The emperor, who had only been listening to gossip, could no longer sit still. "Sold? Sold to whom?"
The Emperor was indeed the most responsive. He knew how much money the Imperial Household Department wasted buying vegetables. He had originally coveted this method, but out of respect for his reputation, he didn't want anyone to accuse him of stealing the recipe from a minister, so he had never asked.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Qiongyue would actually sell this golden chicken that laid eggs. In the emperor's view, this was simply stupid.
"It's Miss Xie, my future concubine." Speaking of this, the Second Prince still felt a little guilty and could only look around awkwardly.
"You pulled the strings?" The queen looked at her son angrily. If he dared to say yes, she would not be able to stop him from being beaten even if he was going to get married tomorrow.
The Fifth Prince also looked incredulous and disappointed, "Second brother, are you helping outsiders plot against my cousin?"
When the second prince saw the expressions of his mother and younger brother, he knew his status in the family. He could only say that he was still able to intimidate people.
"Mother, brother, don't worry! Although I'm the one who arranged this, it's absolutely consensual. This technique requires quite a lot of land, a hot spring villa. My cousin only has a villa of this size, and Yuan An's needs are huge!"
It's not a unique product, it's just technology, and yet it was sold for 150,000 taels."
The Second Prince would not reveal that he had taken out another 40,000 taels. He was afraid of being savaged by his mother and brother. It was better to keep quiet and make a fortune.
The Queen and the Fifth Prince were relieved after hearing their son/brother's explanation. Fortunately, their son/second brother did not lust after Zhiyong.
The queen guessed that her son must have benefited from this, otherwise he would not be so active. The queen knew what kind of character her son was.
But as long as her niece doesn't suffer any loss, it's fine. Sometimes when elders interfere too much, the children won't get along well with each other, so she doesn't mind that.
Although the emperor was short of money, he didn't care about the little money Zhou Qiongyue earned from selling her vegetable growing skills. In his opinion, if Zhou Qiongyue didn't sell her skills and continued to develop slowly, she would definitely become big in a few years.
Zhou Qiongyue still has the Cheng'en Marquisate and the Empress behind her! Since the recipe has been sold, the emperor thought it wouldn't matter if he sold it to a few more families! The emperor must also consider his private treasury! Not to mention the silver, the crops grown in the imperial farm are enough to feed the people in the palace, and occasionally rewarding someone, it would save a lot of money.
"Your concubine has a hot spring villa under her name?"
"No, but the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion has it! And I don't think Xin'er can come up with that much money. It should be that the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion wants to earn this money."
The Second Prince didn't hide it either. He was actually very clear-headed and knew that the women who liked him were attracted by his family background. He didn't care about that anyway. If he met someone he loved, he would fall in love with her.
After all, the emperor's father is still in his prime. If this legitimate son is young, not impulsive, not fond of beauty, not fond of money, and just likes to attend court, he will probably be able to go down and see the emperor soon.
But it's impossible for him to really give up his future for someone else. He doesn't trust much and may not even be able to match his cousin at a critical moment! But his cousin is naturally part of his team, so he doesn't have to worry about betrayal.
"If I buy it, do you think Yue girl will sell it?" Although the emperor felt that Zhou Qiongyue dared not refuse to sell it, the queen was still here! The emperor didn't mind being more tactful to make the queen and the child happy.
"Sell it! My cousin has already told me that if someone wants to buy it, I will sell it."
Although Zhou Qiongyue had not said this to the Second Prince, the Second Prince was sure that his cousin would definitely be sold. Now he had a chance to earn some pocket money.
"Then go ask Eunuch He to get the 150,000 taels of silver later, and send someone to deliver it to Yue Yatou! I will then send someone directly to Yue Yatou's farm to attend school."
The emperor was not being overly generous. After all, business was business, and his money didn't come from the wind!
"Don't worry, Father! I guarantee it will be done for you. If the person I send is reliable and an experienced hand at growing crops, it will probably take less than a day to learn. Then you can immediately find a place to try it out. Maybe you can even make a profit this year."
At this moment, the second prince was very active in making promises to the emperor. After all, he also had 40,000 taels of silver!
The emperor nodded in surprise. It looked like he could really produce one or two more this year. After all, he had many hot spring villas! He only kept the one he often visited, and used the rest to grow vegetables.
The emperor did not think that making money was a shameful thing, especially making money from rich people. He did not feel guilty at all.
However, the emperor thought about the usefulness of the hot spring villa and decided in his heart that he could no longer reward people with hot spring villas in the future!
The emperor would not tell anyone else about this, but remained calm while enjoying his meal. It seemed as if the idea of buying a house was just a random thought that came to him when he was bored.
Later on, Yuan'an's hot spring villa was really in short supply.
When Zhou Qiongyue received the silver and letter sent by the Second Prince in the afternoon, she was quite surprised. She didn't expect that just because she wanted to curry favor with someone, her second cousin would introduce her to another business deal.
Zhou Qiongyue thought it was a good idea, and her second cousin was not wrong, she was really willing to sell, the more the better.
As for the letter! In addition to explaining the matter, it also asked her to help her second cousin save his 40,000 taels and come back to get it when he needs it.
Zhou Qiongyue was in a good mood today and did not refuse to help her second cousin with this little favor. After all, there were many people around him and it was not appropriate for him to have a large amount of banknotes.
The main reason is that my second cousin still doesn’t have a legitimate business, so it’s quite difficult to get these banknotes out.
