Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1805

Of course, Nanny Su's mother-in-law knew that the princess was generous.

Twenty taels is actually not a small amount, but he is just worried about his daughter-in-law. "I just want to remind you that the Su family is your foundation, so don't hide anything."

Nanny Su lowered her head and replied, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

"You'd better not dare." Her mother-in-law pointed at her skinny granddaughter and said, "You gave birth to a money-loser, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Nanny Su still lowered her head, her eyes cold, "The princess said that when she returns from Iron Horse City, she will select a maid from among our wet nurses' children who can accompany the little princess to grow up. The money will be very generous."

Her mother-in-law's face immediately brightened up, "Really?"

Nanny Su concealed the coldness in her eyes, raised her head and answered respectfully, "It's true, the princess said it herself. But the princess also said that she would select those who are well-fed to enter the palace."

"What do you mean by raising well?" Her mother-in-law frowned.

"It means fair skin, thick black hair, and no bruises on the face or body."

Her mother-in-law: “…”

I'm afraid this is just to worship the ancestors!

Nanny Su has fair skin, black hair and a good appearance.

Her mother-in-law looked at her and felt that it was not a problem.

There shouldn't be any bruises or purple marks on the body... This is actually easy to do, just avoid bumping or hitting yourself, and don't get hit.

Her mother-in-law was itching to do something, but she could hold back for the sake of the money.

Nanny Su added, "You can't have calluses on your hands. The steward will check them carefully before you enter the mansion."

Her mother-in-law: “…”

It really is a sacrifice for the ancestors! But the children cannot be allowed to work!

"How much money can you get when you enter the palace?" her mother-in-law asked dissatisfiedly, "It's like a beauty pageant."

Nanny Su didn't respond directly, but said, "There is a maid named Nanyan in the princess's mansion. She is about seventeen years old. I heard that she has only been with the princess for three or four years. Now she has bought a house with two courtyards at the east gate for rent. I heard that the location is good and the rent is not low."

Her mother-in-law took a deep breath, and when she looked at her granddaughter next to her, she saw something like the glittering silver, and inexplicably she became more pleasing to the eye. She quickly grabbed the ignorant little granddaughter and said, "Oh my goodness! Come here, grandma loves you."

Nanny Su breathed a sigh of relief. She could go to Tiema City without any worries.

In the side hall of the Tinglan Courtyard, Uncle Wan drank two cups of tea. When the tea was getting cold, the princess finally arrived.

He stood up and saluted, with a worried look between his brows. He said in a deep voice, "Princess, the people's livelihood in Tiema City is now in decline, and the trade routes are cut off. The people in the city have to be very careful with even the salt, firewood and rice, and they would rather break a copper coin in half." He took out a roll of account books from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, "This is the price recorded by this old servant secretly, please take a look, Princess."

Shi Anxia took the account book and stroked the mottled ink marks with his fingertips.

The account pages were densely filled with notes: coarse salt had risen to thirty cents per pound, a dou of old rice cost fifty cents, and even the cheapest bran was not cheap.

She sighed softly, "I'm sure it's not just Tiema City that's in this situation. All the lost territories that have just been recovered are in this situation."

The closure of trade routes and the empty government warehouses led to rising prices and made life difficult for the people.

In recent years, Wan State secretly condoned horse bandits to rob caravans and imposed heavy taxes on the border. Did they ever want to let the people who lost their land live a good life?

In addition, Tiema City had just experienced war, and even if the Ministry of Revenue allocated money and food day and night, it would still be of little use to put out the immediate fire.

After finishing the discussion of important matters, Uncle Wan finally remembered the main topic of his visit today, "I have already bought a villa in Tiema City for the princess to stay. But..."

It's just that the living conditions there are limited.

He didn't finish, but Shi Anxia understood, "I'm not going there to enjoy myself, it's fine as long as I can live there. And the villa needs to be big enough, as I'm bringing a lot of people with me."

Uncle Wan nodded, "It was originally the residence of a wealthy family in Wan State."
