NFBE Chapter 334 Apology
Chapter 334 Apology
After the court was dismissed, Emperor Yongshun sent a eunuch to summon Princess Dachang and Princess Jiaoyang to the palace for an audience with him.
The eunuchs who were going to deliver the imperial edict were specially selected by Eunuch Mu, and they were all smart people.
When he arrived at the Grand Princess's residence, he just announced the decree for the two to enter the palace. The Grand Princess stuffed silver into his pocket and wanted to find out what was going on, but he kept silent and just said, "It's according to the rules."
The mother and daughter followed him into the palace with trepidation and were taken directly to the imperial study, where they were greeted by a barrage of scolding from Emperor Yongshun.
In the end, Emperor Yongshun did not listen to their explanations and ordered them to go to the vegetable market to apologize to the common people and merchants, and to go to the county lord's mansion to make amends to Princess Anping. Princess Jiaoyang was also confined to her house for three months, waiting to be married in the mansion and not allowed to go anywhere.
Princess Jiaoyang was so angry that she cried all the way out of the palace, but she dared not curse anyone anymore because the emperor had assigned a team of guards to follow her and supervise them to apologize and make amends.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, although Princess Jiaoyang was reluctant, she had to apologize because of the situation.
After all, the Grand Princess was older and more reserved and tactful. She said that it was someone with ulterior motives who was trying to sow discord. The servants in the mansion were arrogant and said words that hurt the people and merchants. She would discipline them strictly when she returned and asked the people and merchants to resume normal purchases from the Grand Princess's mansion.
When the merchants saw that the Grand Princess came out in person to apologize, regardless of whether she was sincere or not, at least she showed her attitude, so they all agreed to resume business.
When she arrived at the county princess's residence, Zheng Sisi heard the servants report that the Grand Princess had arrived. She was still very puzzled. Yesterday it was Princess Jiaoyang who cursed everyone indiscriminately, so why did the Grand Princess come today?
Sheng Zhen happened to be there, so he accompanied them to the door. Zheng Sisi was stunned to see so many people. When she heard that they were here to apologize, Zheng Sisi invited everyone into the County Lord's Mansion. As there was no male host, Zheng Sisi asked Sheng Zhen and the other two to receive the accompanying guards in the side hall, and treated everyone with good tea, snacks and braised food.
Zheng Sisi invited the eldest princess and her daughter into the flower hall. Old Madam Zheng and several young sisters were there. They greeted each other and everyone came to support Zheng Sisi.
Then Li Mama and Gui Mama came to serve tea and snacks. When the eldest princess saw Li Mama and the others, she was finally shocked. Even Li Mama, the most popular person around the emperor, was arranged to serve the county lady. She finally understood why she suffered such a big loss. She didn't know this county lady at all. All she knew were rumors outside. It was really a blow.
In fact, she should have thought of this when she saw the Third Prince was also in the County Lord's Mansion. Now the appearance of Nanny Li and others is what really puts pressure on her.
Zheng Sisi invited them for tea, but neither accepted nor rejected their apology. She just said it was a misunderstanding and there was no need to take it to heart.
Be polite when inviting people in and also polite when sending people away, and be very courteous.
This episode just passed.
Another thing was that on the day agreed to pick up the sweet potato seedlings, the entrance of the county lady's mansion was almost crowded with people, all of whom came with silver bills to pick up the sweet potato seedlings. The people arranged by Zheng Sisi were simply overwhelmed, so Sheng Zhen transferred the old housekeeper of the mansion to help, and only after his arrangements were they able to send people away.
The second batch of sweet potato seedlings in Zheng Sisi's backyard were sold out. Many of them were not from people on the list, but they were all sold to them at the rate of one hundred taels of silver for one hundred seedlings.
Zheng Sisi was also stunned when she saw the account book and a pile of silver bills sent by the old housekeeper. Is it so easy to make money now? This pile must be worth tens of thousands of taels.
Seeing how fast Zheng Sisi made money, everyone was full of admiration. Zheng Sisi immediately gave Sheng Zhen, Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu several banknotes.
The three people were puzzled, and Zheng Sisi said, "I don't remember. It was you who found the tent cloth and artificial fertilizer. We said at that time that we were in cooperation. Now that we've made money, of course we have to share it. You can only get this much. After all, the seeds are mine, the land is mine, and the method is mine, hum!" After saying that, Zheng Sisi snorted arrogantly!
Zhong Ruiyu held a few banknotes and said sincerely, "Sister Sisi, I will definitely follow your footsteps in the future. I will make a fortune! Ahahaha!"
He held a few silver bills and laughed exaggeratedly towards the sky, making everyone laugh.
The three girls also made up their minds to follow Zheng Sisi's footsteps. With Sister Sisi making money at this rate, it would be hard not to get rich.
After the Grand Princess’s visit and the incident of selling sweet potato seedlings, Zheng Sisi felt that the mansion still needed a male butler, otherwise there would be no one to receive male guests.
