Chapter 132 Distribution
Jiang Changning didn't care at all that the Queen Mother gave him a jade monkey with a bad connotation, "It's just that the Guizhou donkey has poor skills."
She didn't even mention it to the King of Jin. She asked Fangju to sort out some materials from the warehouse and ordered people to call all the concubines to Zhengzeyuan.
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. It would be wasteful to pile all the materials in the warehouse, so it is better for everyone to make new clothes together.
When the concubines heard that the princess asked them to go to Zhengzeyuan, Pu and Chen Yi were still calm, but Liu was a little uneasy, "Why did the princess suddenly ask us to go to Zhengzeyuan?"
"Auntie, don't be afraid. I think it's a good thing." Her personal maid said.
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, "The princess has arranged a date for her to sleep in!"
"I'm afraid that's not the case. I heard that Sister Fangju cleaned out the warehouse and moved out nearly a hundred pieces of materials. The princess may be giving the materials to her aunt to make clothes."
Liu was disdainful, "Who cares?"
Rare is still rare. Mrs. Qiao used to be very demanding. When she was assigned, Mrs. Park and Mrs. Zhou had limited materials.
The two first-in-laws, the nine beauties and the dancer Ke Cheng were all a little flustered, "Did someone do something wrong? The princess wants to scare the monkeys?"
"After Ruan Lizhu went out that day, she never returned to the yard and she didn't know where she went. Could it be that she was the one?"
Wang Jiao'e shuddered. She knew that Ruan Lizhu was dealt with by the prince, not the princess. If the princess wanted to kill a chicken to scare monkeys, Ruan Lizhu was not the chicken.
Who is that chicken?
Wang Jiao'e looked at the girls. Since that day, she has been very peaceful. It shouldn't be her.
His eyes fell on Fan Meizhu, hoping that the chicken was her.
No matter what these concubines think, they dare not not go to Zhengzeyuan.
When they arrived at Zhengzeyuan, they were led into a side hall. The princess sat on the Arhat couch and drank tea. There were various materials piled on the table and case.
The concubines were relieved because the princess wanted to reward them with food.
Obediently bowed to Jiang Changning and said hello. After Jiang Changning asked them to sit down, he slowly said: "I just ordered people to sort out the warehouse and found a lot of good materials. I called you here to let you pick some and take some back.
Make new clothes.”
Mrs. Pu looked at the pile of materials, stood up and said, "Thank you, Princess, for thinking of us. It's just that the palace has already allocated the materials to us. The Princess should keep these good materials for making clothes."
Compared with Mrs. Qiao and her sister, the princess is really nice. She is not troublesome and doesn't lose her temper. She also needs them to come over every day to set the rules.
Sometimes she would think, why fight for favor? Life is much easier now than before, so be it.
But there are still her aunt and her younger brothers and sisters in the Hou Mansion. If she can't make it through, life will be very difficult for them in the Mansion.
She has to fight for this favor, but how?
In terms of appearance, the princess in this house is ranked second, who dares to be ranked first?
In terms of talent and learning, she is only literate, not poetry or song.
In terms of family background, how can a concubine from a prince's mansion compare to a princess who entered the palace with a generous dowry in the name of the county lord?
When she was distracted, she didn't hear what Jiang Changning said, and she didn't even hear him call her twice.
Until her maid tugged on her sleeve and said, "Madam, madam, the princess is asking you something."
Pu's heart tightened, how could she be so distracted in front of the princess?
"Princess, please forgive me." Mrs. Pu knelt down and said.
Jiang Changning smiled, "What is Mrs. Park thinking about?"
"I remember the time when my aunt made clothes for me." As soon as Mrs. Pu said those words, she wished she could slap herself in the face.
The princess lost her mother when she was young, what did she do to take care of her aunt?
"The past is so fascinating." Jiang Changning smiled, "Get up, you have a fair complexion. I'll give you these two pieces of aqua blue satin. You can choose a few more pieces you like."
"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Park breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can pick what you like and take it," Jiang Changning said.
"Thank you, Princess." All the concubines saluted.
Mrs. Pu picked another horse made of green material. According to her rank, Chen Yi should be the pick behind Ms. Pu.
Chen Yi picked two pieces of grass-colored material and one piece of water-onion-colored material.
Mrs. Liu chose one piece of sea pine color material and one piece of thin ink color material.
The color you choose is either too dark or too light.
Nine beauties plus Ke Jie each picked a piece of material.
Even after picking out more than a dozen pieces of materials, there are still at least sixty pieces piled on the small couch on the table.
Jiang Changning really didn't understand what Qiao was doing accumulating so much material in the warehouse?
Although some materials can be stored well and remain new for a long time, most materials will fade, accumulate dust, and patterns will become outdated if stored for a long time.
"There are still so many materials, so feel free to pick them boldly, pick a few more pieces, and make a few more clothes. You will dress brightly. I like it, and the prince will be proud of you."
The concubines obeyed her wishes. Pu and Chen Yi each picked four horses, Liu picked three, and Meiren and Keji each picked two.
Jiang Changning also gave some clothes suitable for servants to wear to some servants in the mansion who were honored. The four maids around her, Xiao Chun, Jin Ya and others also received half a piece of cloth each.
In this way, all the large amounts of materials were finally processed.
While Jiang Changning was distributing ingredients in the mansion, the matter was debated in the court for several days and finally settled.
Let the King of Jin secretly investigate the Jiangnan Salt Administration corruption case in the name of going to Jiangnan to solicit letters.
"I accept the decree." King Jin accepted.
The emperor was satisfied and smiled with satisfaction.
After retiring from the court, the King of Jin handled matters in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and did not return to the palace until the beginning of the Youshi period.
After having dinner with the concubine at the Liuxuan Courtyard, the King of Jin told the concubine that he was going to Jiangnan to recruit scholars.
"How long will it take?" the princess asked.
"Three or four months." King Jin was not sure that he would need more time to investigate the case, so he said he had more time.
"It's going to take so long, then bring someone to take care of your daily life." The concubine asked him to bring a concubine instead of a servant.
Jiang Changning lowered her lids and looked at the pendant in her hand, hiding the coldness in her eyes. Therefore, she would never be able to have a true heart-to-heart relationship with the concubine.
King Jin couldn't laugh or cry, "My concubine, my son is going on an errand, so it makes sense to bring his concubine with him. Concubine, don't worry, my son is not going out for the first time."
"That's right, then you should do your errands well and come back early," the concubine said.
"My son will come back after finishing his errands. Please don't worry about me too much."
The concubine smiled and said, "My mother is worried when my son travels thousands of miles away. How can I not miss you when you are away from home?"
After the mother and son exchanged many warm and caring words, King Jin took Jiang Changning away and returned to Rujingyuan.
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Changning started packing Prince Jin's luggage.
Prince Jin pulled her and said, "It's late at night, so don't worry about it. It won't be too late to pack tomorrow. Your Majesty gave me three days to pack my luggage."
Jiang Changning sat down next to him, "Others can go to Jiangnan to collect letters, so why do you have to go?"
