Chapter 94 The Dog Emperor Can’t
Just as Si Linglong expected, after hearing that Concubine Li had ordered a box of hair cream from Concubine Lang, the other concubines in the harem who had the same idea were also tempted.
Originally I was thinking about how to build friendships, but now I am told that there is no need to build friendships, just give me money!
For the first time, they felt this way of making both money and goods so comfortable.
In just one day, Si Linglong received a deposit of more than two hundred taels.
It just so happened that Si Linglong still had some herbs left that she had collected earlier, so she used them all up. She also got some small boxes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and packed them up one by one. She sent people to deliver them to the concubines in each palace and collected the money at the same time.
In addition, a box was also sent to Concubine Quan. Gu Qingquan was a little surprised when she received the gift, as she and Lang Guiren were not really close friends.
"Did your master say anything?" Gu Qingquan asked Qinglu who came to deliver the gifts.
Qinglu said, "My nobleman said that you got exempted from the bill by virtue of your personality charm."
Gu Qingquan: …
Of course Helian Yue couldn't hide Si Linglong's actions. He couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard that Si Linglong was doing business openly in the palace. That night he went to the side hall to settle the account with someone.
"Is my beloved concubine's family bankrupt or am I short of your monthly allowance?"
Si Linglong inexplicably felt that Helian Yue's question was different from his usual personality. Instead, it had a bit of his own style. She said obediently,
"I have no shortage of money."
Helian Yue was about to ask why he was selling since he had no shortage of money, when he heard her add slowly, "But who would complain about having too much money?"
Her tone was so matter-of-fact that Helian Yue couldn't say anything to refute it for a moment.
Doesn't she know what the concubines in the harem say about her every day?
The daughter of an official who donated money.
After all, the daughters of noble families look down on the daughters of merchants.
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest.
But it seems that Si Linglong's world is not like this. She doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with being a merchant. Occasionally, when you hear her in her heart, she even feels proud that her family is rich.
It is also extremely vulgar and blatant.
Like now.
"Your Majesty, do you know why our Si family has been able to accumulate such wealth today?" Si Linglong asked seriously.
Helian Yue raised his eyebrows and asked cooperatively, "Why?"
Si Linglong immediately smiled and pushed a box next to Xiao Ji in front of Helian Yue, showing off, "It all depends on accumulating little by little to make a lot."
I saw that the box was full of silver bars or silver notes. Although the amount was not large, it still had some weight when put together.
For this transaction alone, Si Linglong received more than one thousand taels.
And this is net profit.
Si Linglong secretly rubbed her fingers together, [The herbs were given for free from the hospital, the boxes were obtained from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the staff were from home.]
Finally, the conclusion is, [Rounded off, it’s zero cost! Emma, this business is doable! ]
The corner of Helian Yue's mouth twitched as he listened to her mental calculations. Did this woman intend to fleece the palace for a long time?
With a light snort, Helian Yue deliberately reached out and picked out the silver bars from her box one by one.
"My beloved concubine, what you said makes a lot of sense." He said as he was picking out the silver ingots. Si Linglong was watching his actions with a confused look on her face. Then she heard Helian Yue slowly pushing the selected silver ingots in front of Si Linglong.
"These are what my beloved concubine has earned today. Although the remaining silver is not much, it can at least help to subsidize the materials and silver for the Yu Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Helian Yue said, motioning to Futai, "Futai, take the silver in this box to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Fu Tai was startled when he heard this, and saw the intention in the emperor's eyes. He immediately smiled and stepped forward, pretending to pick up the money box and leave, "Oh, this is quite heavy. I will send someone to deliver it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Si Linglong was dumbfounded, and reacted belatedly.
The dog emperor actually wants to take her money!
Too...too bullying!
He is so rich yet he still haggles over such a small amount of money with her!
"Wait, this is mine!" Si Linglong subconsciously leaned over and tried to take back her own money box. The two of them were originally sitting on the small couch. Seeing this, Helian Yue deliberately stopped them and waved his hand to signal Fu Tai to leave quickly.
Fu Tai smiled and walked quickly with the box in his arms. Si Linglong couldn't help but wail and hugged Helian Yue's waist tightly, "Your Majesty! That belongs to me! You can't do this..."
Helian Yue was hugged unexpectedly and found it funny at first, but soon, as Si Linglong kept rubbing her head against his waist, he could no longer laugh.
