[R18] There’s too much meat, I don’t want it anymore – “Too much meat, I don’t want any more” Chapter 87 [English]

0087 Everyone has their own thoughts

The Spring Festival is approaching, and not everyone is as happy and satisfied as a flower. After all, every house is different, and where there is happiness there must be pain. Of course, there are many people who are having a difficult time during this New Year, such as the two people from the Prime Minister’s Palace and the Three Princes’ Palace…

Prime Minister’s Office

“Master, this is the government’s account book for one year, please take a look.” The second aunt trembled slightly and handed the thick account book to Hua Wuyu’s hand.

In previous years, she would not have been so frightened, but this year due to the marriage of her two daughters, the floods in the south, and the continuous incidents in the Prime Minister’s Office, the Prime Minister’s Office suffered a huge loss this year.Don’t talk about profit and loss, because the things she did in the past years have caused big holes after these big and small things. In order to fill these holes, she sold some of her dowry to make the numbers in this account look better.

Hua Wuyu, who had been sleeping with her forehead propped up, opened her eyes. She glanced at the second aunt with sharp eyes, and opened the summary on the last page first. She found that many places had suffered losses, and some shops were even on the verge of closure. Such a miserable situation made the excitement of enjoying the reunion dinner disappear.In fact, he knew about the little things his second aunt did in private, but since they had been married for many years and nothing major happened, he just turned a blind eye. However, the loss this year really surprised him.

“What happened to the cloth shop in West Market? Wasn’t the business good before? How could it be possible to lose so much?” Hua Wuyu saw that the cloth shop that had always brought him gold and silver treasures was actually making a profit, and his handsome and well-maintained face suddenly became distorted.

Jingyu State has always encouraged business, and most officials can exert their power to the extreme, and they will all have a few shops.If you think about it, he was able to achieve the position of prime minister not only because he was talented and could make the emperor happy, but also because of the shops he owned. With these shops, all those dark things could be solved easily, and he would have more gold and silver jewelry to clear everything up.

But now the money is gone, and several ministers in the court who have close contacts with him are also being investigated for their involvement in the Jiangnan floods. How can he not be anxious?He originally wanted to use money to win over the third prince. After all, he and the third prince are now in the same boat. If he can’t show any sincerity, the suspicious character of the third prince will definitely erase the little trust he has.

When asked about it, the second aunt seemed to have been hit hard, and she trembled in response: “A new Green Leaf Pavilion opened in the West Market, and most of the customers were taken away, including the few official wives who were good with me.”

In fact, Luye Pavilion’s taking away the business of the West Market is just one of them. The more reason is that the New Year is approaching. For her own vanity, she can only make a fool of herself. Not only did she use a lot of good fabrics to make a few good clothes in private, she also sent a few clothes to the wives of officials. But she did all these things for the sake of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. It was all for the good of the Prime Minister’s Mansion!

“Green Leaf Pavilion?” Hua Wuyu thought of the handsome man at the palace banquet just now. Not only did he become the richest man at a young age, but he was also named a good prince by the emperor. Even though he had no rights, the wealth in his hands was extraordinary. If he were to be brought over, not only would the third prince look at him with admiration, but he himself would not worry about money in the future.

When he thought of Lan Mingzi, the brows on Hua Wuyu’s forehead were instantly smoothed, and he said indifferently: “How is Feifei lately?”

Hua Wuyu suddenly changed the subject, and the second aunt was a little confused, but she still answered obediently: “Feifei is doing well recently.”

“When you have time, go to the cashier’s office and give her some money to dress up Feifei and teach her some etiquette. Don’t be too rude.”

Hua Feifei is the concubine born to Hua Wuyu’s concubine. She is very low-key in the prime minister’s palace. The second concubine was very surprised when Hua Wuyu told her like this. She couldn’t figure out why Hua Wuyu suddenly gave such an order, but she was still very glad that Hua Wuyu didn’t bother with the small details of the cloth shop.

“Also, Huaxuan and Yingying will be back soon. Go and decorate it, and remember to make it look nice.”

This year, due to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the treasury of Jingyu State was empty. In addition, several corrupt officials were recently investigated and punished. Now the people in the court are panicked. Everyone is trying to distance themselves from each other, which makes the situation miserable. However, Hua Wuyu has managed to win over several important officials of the court. This feat is all because of his two daughters.

Hua Wuyu never thought that his second daughter, who was ugly and as stupid as a pig, would jump over the dragon gate and marry Li Yiwen. Although Li Yiwen was a prince, he did not have much effect in the court. The most he wrote was that the few poems he wrote were catchy, which had no effect on Hua Wuyu at all.Who knows, in just a few months, Li Yiwen will become the prince that the emperor pays attention to. According to the attitude of the palace banquet just now, the emperor’s love for Li Yiwen is almost as much as that of the prince.

It can only be said that he was blind to Mount Tai before, so he didn’t notice Li Yiwen’s gem. Fortunately, Hua Xuan married Li Yiwen. As the saying goes, the first to get the moon is the one who is near the water, so why don’t he find a way out for himself?If he really loses power with the Third Prince, it would be good to have Li Yiwen as his backer…
