Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder
Chapter 59 Concubine of Prince Su's Mansion 6
Concubine Hu's face fell, "Why am I so miserable? I was looking forward to the princess coming home so that I could finally unload the burden of housekeeping and relax a little. But I never thought that the princess would be such a person."
Prince Su asked her to continue to be the housekeeper. I guess he already knew about Wang Shuxuan's outrageous behavior in the morning, and he didn't trust Wang Shuxuan to be able to manage the household affairs of the prince's mansion, so he wanted to let her continue to be the housekeeper.
That's why we say she has a hard life! Could it be that she will never be able to escape the hard work of managing household expenses for the rest of her life?
"Look at what you are saying," Prince Su was naturally angry, "Other women would be happy to be in charge of the household, but you are different. You are given such great power, but you act like it's a chore."
"Isn't it a tough job?" Concubine Hu retorted directly, "Being in charge of the household affairs of the entire mansion, besides being busy all the time, Your Majesty comes to tell me what benefits there are and what great power there is. It's simply ridiculous."
"She is just a housekeeper who works in a thankless job. What power can she have? Our Prince Su's Mansion is so small. Tell me what power you have."
Then Concubine Hu had a sad face: "We are both concubines, why are we treated so differently? Look at how good Jiang Chunxi's life is! Unlike me, I either look at the account books or meet with the servants in and outside the palace all day long. I work myself to death like a donkey every day."
Being in charge of the entire Su Wang Mansion's finances means not only managing the mansion, but also the shops and farms outside, as well as the interpersonal relationships.
Every year when the year draws to a close, Concubine Hu would work herself to the point of losing several pounds. She felt like she was almost as tired as a donkey, and there was no hope of unloading the burden. In short, Concubine Hu was extremely devastated at this time.
"Comparing yourself to others makes you angry," Concubine Hu felt more and more uncomfortable the more she said this, and she even cried. "Why is it that Jiang Chunxi is only responsible for being comfortable every day and only needs to dress herself up beautifully to make the prince happy, while I have to work so hard like a donkey?"
"This is unfair," Concubine Hu complained to Prince Su, "I don't accept it. Why are we both concubines of the prince treated so differently? I don't care. You must hand over half of the household supplies to Concubine Jiang. Otherwise, I will quit no matter what. The prince will take over the household supplies himself."
Prince Su felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. "You are totally unreasonable. You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. Concubine Jiang's background is nothing. She was born as a palace maid, so how can she manage a household? If the household expenses in the mansion are handed over to her, the mansion will be in chaos."
"If you don't know how to do it, then you can't learn it? Who is born to be a housekeeper?" Concubine Hu said unconvinced, "Humph! In the end, it's because the prince favors Concubine Jiang and doesn't want you to be tired, so he treats me like a donkey."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" When he said this, Prince Su felt a little guilty. "Okay, okay, since you think it's unfair, let Concubine Jiang learn how to be a housekeeper from tomorrow."
"But we have to agree in advance that if Concubine Jiang doesn't learn well, you have to continue to be in charge of the household affairs of the mansion. You can't just let Concubine Jiang do whatever she wants just for the sake of ease."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what's right for me and won't do anything to cause trouble for my own comfort." Concubine Hu finally had a smile on her face.
As for whether Concubine Jiang can learn to be a housekeeper.
Concubine Hu secretly made up her mind.
Even if she couldn't learn it, she had to learn it. Even if Concubine Jiang had a pig's brain, she would train her to be a good housekeeper.
Prince Su was almost speechless when he saw Concubine Hu's smiling face. If the concubines of his married brothers could be in charge of the household, they would be so happy. But it was not like Concubine Hu. Giving her power was like asking for her life.
However, it is also because of this that Prince Su has been very relieved to hand over the household affairs of the mansion to Concubine Hu over the years. He does not have to worry at all that Concubine Hu will use her power to stir up trouble in the mansion.
After Prince Su left Concubine Hu's courtyard, he came to Jiang Chunxi's courtyard.
To be honest, Prince Su really didn't want Jiang Chunxi to be the housekeeper! Because of Jiang Chunxi's background, Prince Su didn't think she could manage the household affairs in the mansion.
Of course there is another reason, that is, Prince Su felt that Jiang Chunxi only needed to dress up beautifully every day and serve him comfortably, and she didn't need to work hard to take charge of the household affairs.
So! This is the difference between partiality and non-partiality. In men's minds, some women just need to be pampered, while some women are used to work. Even if they make men tired to death, they still call it trusting the other party, as if they should be grateful to him.
"What?" Jiang Chunxi was surprised after hearing what Prince Su said. "You want me to learn how to be a housekeeper? How can I do that? The prince knows my own abilities best. If you want me to serve you to your heart's content, I can promise that I will never let you down. But if you want me to learn how to be a housekeeper, isn't that embarrassing for me?"
"No, no," Jiang Chunxi said coquettishly, "Prince, please don't embarrass me. I really don't have the ability to help Concubine Hu with her household duties."
Although she said this, Jiang Chunxi didn't think so in her heart.
This time she is determined to become the queen mother, so naturally she has to hold power in her hands.
Of course, Jiang Chunxi did not care about the housekeeper power of Prince Su's Mansion. She was eyeing the power in the future imperial palace. So if she could take over the housekeeper power of Prince Su's Mansion now, then when Prince Su becomes the emperor in the future, he would definitely consider her first when it comes to power in the imperial palace.
"Alas!" Prince Su sighed helplessly, "If possible, I don't want you to suffer, but Concubine Hu is really..."
Then Prince Su told Concubine Hu's accusation again, and then rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, isn't Concubine Hu too ungrateful? I trust her and give her all the household affairs in the mansion, but she doesn't even thank me for my trust in her. She even complains about me, saying that I treat her like a donkey."
"You really pissed me off. I really couldn't do anything about Concubine Hu, so I had no choice but to agree to her request and let you learn housekeeping from Concubine Hu."
"But isn't there still the princess?" Jiang Chunxi pouted unhappily, "After all, the princess is the wife of the prince and the mistress of Prince Su's mansion. The household expenses of this mansion should have been handed over to the princess. Since Concubine Hu doesn't want to be in charge of the household expenses of the mansion, why not just hand it over to the princess! Why do you have to drag me into this?"
