Chapter 849 Yeye’s Money is Xinbao’s Money

Prince Duanhe, who had just returned, agreed strongly: "This method is indeed unique! Your Highness is indeed smart."

In fact, although Xinbao is the Princess Zhenguo, he is her uncle and elder after all. He can just call her Xinbao or Fuzhen, but Xinbao himself doesn't have this awareness and unless he is asked to change his name, he can only call her that.

Xinbao was even more excited by his praise, and said with bright eyes: "Then we can find a place and release them randomly, and let whoever's house they fly to come. It will be so interesting!"

"Good idea!" Prince Duanhe clapped his hands in praise, and said, "But there are only two wooden birds, aren't they too few?"

"That's right!" Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "Can we ask Huang Yu to make a few more?"

Prince Duanhe smiled and said, "Of course, I will tell him in a moment to make dozens or even hundreds of them. As long as he is allowed to leave the name of Yanshifang, it will also make them famous, and they will be happy."

Xinbao nodded vigorously, then thought for a moment: "Wait, but making something like this must be very expensive, right?"

Prince Duanhe paused and coughed.

Xinbao pondered for a moment: "It took the wooden man ten years to make such an exquisite piece, and it must have cost more money, so he gave it to us. We also want him to make a wooden bird. Although they may not dare to refuse, if they lose everything, then we will become a bad princess," she pointed at herself, then at him: "and a bad prince?"

Prince Duanhe coughed again: "Your Highness is right."

Xinbao waved his little hand: "It's okay, we can give them silver!"

Prince Duanhe said with a smile on his face: "Then I would like to thank Your Highness on their behalf."

It’s not that he didn’t want to help Xinbao with the money, but he really didn’t have the money. As a prince who had only been on one mission, he wasn’t that rich.

Xinbao was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Xinbao doesn't have any money either, but it doesn't matter, Yeye has money, you can just ask Manager Fang for it!"

Emperor Ming Pei: "...??"

Fang Wuyou smiled awkwardly and looked at the emperor.

Emperor Mingpei put down the book and said, "I reward you every day, where is your own money?"

Xinbao said confidently: "I gave it to my wife!"

Emperor Ming Pei: "...??"

He said, "You cheated me of money to give to your wife, and now you have something to spend, and you want to spend my money again?"

Xinbao was still confident, "But Xinbao is a princess, and she has to save face. If I give money to my wife and then ask for it back, wouldn't that make me look petty?"

Emperor Mingpei asked, "Do you feel proud when you ask Yeye for money?"

Xinbao said nonchalantly, "We are family, so why should we save face? Xinbao is only six years old, who else can he ask for money if not Yeye? Yeye's money is Xinbao's money!"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

There was no way to refute it! ! He said: "No, I won't give it to you. If you want to be a good person, you must spend your own money!"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "But my wife is not here now, and Xinbao doesn't know where he put the money. How about Yeye lend it to Xinbao first, and then when my wife comes back, Xinbao will return it to Yeye?"

Emperor Mingpei looked at her sideways, as if he hadn't seen through her delaying tactic at all: "Okay."

Xinbao had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yeye calling Fang Wuyou: "Give her some pen and ink, and ask her to write the IOU."

Xinbao: “…”

Do I need to write an IOU?

She stared at Ye Ye with wide eyes.

Emperor Mingpei remained unmoved and did not even look at her.

Seeing that Ye Ye was serious, Xin Bao had no choice but to go over and pick up the pen. He thought seriously, "Then, how much money should I give to that person? I gave two hundred taels to Luo Er, and two thousand taels to my brother..."

She was shocked: "Why did you give so much to your brother?! Two thousand taels is too much! Why didn't Xinbao notice it at the time?!"

She put down the pen and scratched her hands, her face full of pain: "It's too much. Why is it that when I spend the country's money, I don't feel it's too much, but when I spend my own money, I feel it's extra much?"

Emperor Mingpei just looked at her like that.

She glanced at Ye Ye and whispered, "Why don't we give Huang Yu a hundred taels? A hundred taels is a lot. Xin Bao is not stingy. She just thinks that we should give him less this time. When he makes something new and issues an imperial decree to use the country's money, we can give him more. The total will be much more."

Without hesitation, she wrote an IOU for one hundred taels and gave it to Fang Wuyou.

Prince Duanhe could only smile awkwardly.

Fang Wuyou took the IOU with both hands and glanced at Emperor Mingpei. Emperor Mingpei gestured to him and said to Xinbao, "I will charge interest on this money."

interest?

Xinbao rolled his eyes and played dumb, "What is interest? Xinbao is still young, he doesn't understand this."

Emperor Mingpei was very patient: "The interest is that if you borrow one hundred taels from someone, you must pay back one thousand taels."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xinbao was anxious: "No! This is not interest, this is usury!! Usury!"

"Oh?" Emperor Mingpeidi raised his eyebrows: "Don't you understand it very well?"

Xinbao: “…”

Little Dumpling finally realized that she was no match for Yeye.

She admitted defeat decisively, ran over, opened her arms, and threw herself into his arms: "Ye ye ye ye ye!! Xinbao was wrong, Xinbao shouldn't have cheated Yeye of his money, Xinbao will never dare to do it again, from now on Xinbao will give all the money to Yeye!! Xinbao and Yeye are the best!"

Emperor Mingpei laughed and hugged her: "You really won't dare to do it again?"

Xinbao nodded vigorously: "I won't dare to do that again!"

"Are you really best friends with Ye Ye?"

“The best!!”

"Well," Emperor Mingpei said, "Well, now that you know you are wrong, Fang Wuyou, go get Xinbao's IOU and return it to her."

Fang Wuyou quickly responded and took it out from his sleeve and gave it to the emperor.

Your Majesty, you have spent several hundred taels of silver, so at least hold on a little longer! Tsk, this is really shameless.

But the grandparents and grandchildren reconciled.

On the other side, Huang Yu, who received the reward and order, was flattered. He wrote a letter without hesitation, asking his family and disciples to come over, and then make a wooden bird for Xinbao, while he went to study the problem of the clock.

Xinbao and Hao Huashi played with the wooden bird for the entire afternoon, and in the evening they gave the bird to their younger brother to play with. The twins, along with their study partner and shadow guard, played until dark.

After lunch the next day, Xu Zhiyu came to report on the progress and also helped her write the letter.

As soon as he picked up the pen, Xinbao remembered what happened the day before yesterday.

She was silent for a moment, looking at Xu Zhiyu, without moving for a long time.

Xu Zhiyu was secretly annoyed and worried that the little princess would hold a grudge.

But after he went back that day, he had consulted his father, so he looked at her innocently: "Your Highness? But there is dust on my face?"

Xinbao shook his head, "No."

She stole a glance at Emperor Mingpei, who was sitting by the window reading a book. Xinbao waved his hand, and Xu Zhiyu quickly squatted down, and Xinbao began to whisper to him.
