With a series of moans, Zhu Menghuang, who was lying on the chaise lounge, slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at the familiar scene in front of her in a daze.
Blinking, Zhu Menghuang got up from the soft couch and looked down at her clothes. She tidied them up and called out,""Lian Qiao ~"
Lian Qiao, who had been waiting in the penthouse outside, immediately pushed the door open and entered.
"Madam, you're awake?"
"Where's His Highness?"
Lian Qiao smiled when she heard that the first thing Madam did after waking up was to look for Bai Musheng.
"After His Highness brought Madam back to rest, he went to the study. He is probably busy with official matters and has not come out yet.”
Zhu Menghuang nodded and yawned. Her slightly upturned eyes were filled with tears.
Only Lian Qiao, her personal maid, could see such an indecent scene.
Scratching her head, Zhu Menghuang got off the chaise lounge and sat in front of the dressing table. Lian Qiao quickly came behind Zhu Menghuang and started to help her dress up.
Not long after, Zhu Menghuang, who was dressed neatly, walked out of the bedroom and saw an old woman standing in front of her.
"This old servant greets Furen."
The old woman bowed to Zhu Menghuang.
Zhu Menghuang recognized her. This old woman was Mother Lin from the Imperial Residence.
"Mother Lin, what's the matter?”
"It's like this..."
Mother Lin quickly explained her intentions.
It turned out that while Zhu Menghuang was sleeping soundly, Bai Musheng had already given the order to deliver the keys to the Chu manor's storeroom and all kinds of account books to her after she woke up.
In other words, Bai Musheng wanted to hand over the management of the palace's food to Zhu Menghuang.
Just like the past dynasties, Da Qi also followed the principle of the male outside and the female inside, especially for the noble families.
The man worked hard outside, while the woman-generally speaking, the wife-was responsible for managing all matters in the family. This included the income and expenditure of the family's property, the monthly allowance of the gatekeepers and the maids in the family, the gifts during the holidays, and so on…
This was a considerable power, especially in a noble family. Meeting a mistress who could manage the food in an orderly manner would make the atmosphere of the entire family completely different.
Lian Qiao, who was standing beside Zhu Menghuang, was overjoyed.
That's great. His Highness actually handed over the management of the middle-aged to Madam so quickly. It seems that His Highness and Madam are really very loving.
Zhu Menghuang was a little stunned, but she quickly reacted.
She knew that such a day would come sooner or later. In fact, after she entered the palace to serve tea to the empress and the emperor, Zhu Menghuang should have gone home and officially met all the stewards in the manor. However, Bai Musheng took her out for a walk before she left the palace, so she postponed it until now.
[Tsk! How troublesome!]
[I don't care how these things are broken?】
[I'm the Saintess of the Yaoguang Fairyland. Have you ever seen a Saintess who has become a housekeeper?!？】
While she was complaining in her heart, Zhu Menghuang smiled and said,""I'll have to trouble Mother Lin. Go to the central hall and call all the managers of the wang fu over so that bengong can recognize them one by one.”
Not long after, Zhu Menghuang met a large group of people in the main hall of the Prince's mansion.
"Madam, this is Nanny Yang who is in charge of the meals in the kitchen. This is Nanny Zhang who is in charge of cleaning up the manor. This is Manager Hong who is in charge of managing the stables. This is Manager Qin who is in charge of going out to purchase goods
…"”
Standing in front of Zhu Menghuang, Mother Lin introduced everyone.
Everyone who was introduced would come forward and bow respectfully to Zhu Menghuang.
They had heard that after their wangye left the palace today, he took wangfei out to play for half a day. After he returned, he immediately handed the management of the food to wangfei. This meant that wangfei was extremely doted on by wangye.
With this premise, these servants did not have the guts to give the princess consort a hard time. All of them were extremely respectful.
After Zhu Menghuang recognized them, she gave a reward to each steward and nanny. Then, she ordered all the servants in the manor to give a reward as well. It was a way to win people's hearts for the first time.
In the end, Zhu Menghuang started to have a headache when she saw the thick stack of account books on the table.
"So many account books…how long will I have to read them?？”
Lian Qiao's expression changed when she heard this. She looked around timidly and after confirming that everyone had left, she whispered,"Madam, you can't be so arrogant in the future. If His Highness finds out, he will be angry.”
"The problem is that I have a headache when I see these account books!”
Zhu Menghuang pointed at the account book that was as tall as a hill. Her beautiful willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were filled with disdain.
Lian Qiao was helpless.
"My wife, how many women in this world want to manage a household's midwife, and a Chu royal household's midwife at that? If outsiders saw your disdainful look, they would criticize you."”
"Moreover, if Furen can't manage the middle-level feed well, what if Wangye takes a concubine or marries a secondary consort in the future and the power of managing the middle-level feed falls into the hands of another woman?”
"Gou 'zi dares!?"
Zhu Menghuang slapped the table subconsciously, and Lian Qiao couldn't help but shiver.
Just now…his wife…seemed to have called his highness…dog?
I must have misheard, I must have misheard, I must have misheard…
Lian Qiao kept hypnotizing herself in her heart.
Zhu Menghuang kept fanning her face with her right hand while flipping through the account books angrily.
After a long while,
"F * ck! The young paparazzo was actually so rich!？？？？？”
She looked at the income and expenditure of the various industries on the account book and was dumbfounded.
There were forty-five shops in the eastern and western cities. Chang 'an had countless real estates, tea gardens in the south, and even three caravans on the Silk Road!
This didn't include all of Bai Musheng's properties in his fief!
"Gou 'zi is so rich, it seems a little unreasonable for him to not be a family??" Why don't we go out and buy some tomorrow?”
Zhu Menghuang was lost in her imagination.
Although she used to be the second daughter of the Rong Public House and had been pampered since she was young, her monthly allowance was not much and was not enough to support her spending as she pleased.
It was only because Zhu Menghuang was the Holy Maiden of the Yaoguang Fairyland in her previous life that she did not care much about these mortal things. Otherwise, she might have fainted from joy by now.
What Zhu Menghuang didn't know was that these were only the properties of the prince's mansion on the surface. Secretly, Zhou Yu, who was summoned by Bai Musheng, had already established a business network that spanned almost the entire Da Qi.
It was just that these things were currently hidden, so no one knew about them.
