Chapter 507 Tang'er is probably the emperor's money bag...
"Tang'er, give your aunt three Ningyu Pills and 150,000 taels of silver. Your grandmother will have someone send it to you later." Princess Cheng decided to give the money to her eldest daughter.
The mistresses of noble families may seem glamorous to outsiders, but only they themselves know what they are really like.
The eldest daughter married the prince of the Duke, who was a good match in status and family background, but he only gave birth to one son and two daughters. Later, her husband wanted to take a concubine to have more children, and no one could say anything.
The second daughter married the son of a marquis, so there was no worry about having more children. Later, the first marquis died and the son inherited the title. He has not taken a concubine for more than 20 years, and even now that their relationship has become strained, he has not taken a concubine.
Therefore, she has always known that the conflict between the eldest daughter and the second daughter was not a conflict that arose after returning to Beijing this time, but a knot in the eldest daughter's heart that has always been there.
Seeing that her younger sister had given birth to three sons and one daughter, and her husband had no concubines, and had taken charge of the household early, even her mother-in-law no longer oppressed her.
She only gave birth to one son and two daughters, and her husband had two concubines. He did not listen to her, and her mother-in-law often controlled her.
When an elder sister is jealous of her younger sister because her younger sister lives much better than herself, the resentment in her heart slowly turns into a thorn that does not bleed but is painful.
Princess Cheng knew about this matter between her two daughters, and she also knew that the younger daughter often used this matter to ridicule her elder sister, and the elder sister was jealous of her younger sister and did not give in.
She often advised them separately and scolded them in person.
Sometimes she was really angry at their behavior and disliked their inconsiderateness, but...
At this time, seeing that her eldest daughter wanted to buy beauty pills, but was being unreasonable and trying to bargain, she must have not had enough money, which made her feel distressed.
She decided to buy three pills first to try the effect on her eldest daughter. If it worked, she would discuss how to buy more pills later.
When Princess Cheng spoke, Princess Kangyi was stunned for a moment. She looked at her in disbelief and murmured, "Mother..."
"Since you want to buy it, you must have already found out everything. The Condensing Jade Pill is not cheap, and one or two pills are not enough. You bargained for the long term. Do you want to buy more?"
Princess Cheng smiled helplessly, speaking out Princess Kang Yi's true thoughts and explaining to Yun Tang.
It’s not that my aunt insisted on bargaining, but buying a few more would cost a lot of money, so it’s understandable that she wanted to bargain.
Yun Tang showed an expression of understanding, nodded in understanding, and agreed: "It will take a few more to be effective."
As if to ease the atmosphere, she also hurriedly explained: "But the cost is indeed not low, this medicine is not originally used to be bought and sold casually in the market."
"It's just because I've been busy lately and have spent a lot of money, so I'm selling some of the Taoist elixirs."
"I used all my savings from previous years to buy grain and sent it to the northern border. The emperor then allowed me to take out sixty pills from the Tianji Pavilion and sell them at a lower price."
"I want to exchange some silver for the expenses of such a large mansion. My southwestern fiefdom is full of wild mountains and wilderness, and I am also waiting for silver to open up the wasteland and grow crops."
"There are only so many pills. If you sell one more, there will be one less. 50,000 taels is already violating the rules of the Tianji Pavilion auction. I hope that grandma will forgive me and don't think that Yuntang is greedy for money."
After Yuntang finished speaking, he bowed to Princess Cheng, looking pitiful, honest, helpless and worried.
Princess Cheng's mouth twitched, and she thought, isn't it just that he is obsessed with money?
But Yuntang's explanation left her unable to refute.
She had heard Prince Cheng mention that on the day when the Duke of Jingguo was conferred the title and the Si family case was finalized in the court, the Emperor mentioned that the Duke of Jingguo and the Princess Protector of the Country had bought grain to provide relief to the northern border.
When Jiang Mingan was preparing a grand banquet for the child, he also came to Prince Cheng's Mansion to discuss the list of guests to be invited.
I heard them say that the purpose of holding a big banquet is to collect gifts, and if you want to collect more gifts, you need to draw up a larger guest list...
She knew then that despite Tang'er's young age, she was a thoughtful and money-minded child.
Later, Prince Cheng told her that Tang'er needed money, but the need for money did not necessarily mean that Tang'er herself needed money.
Judging from many things, Tang'er is helping Tianji Pavilion make money, and the emperor is behind Tianji Pavilion.
This also means that Tang'er is likely the emperor's money bag...
This may also be another reason why Tang'er priced the Ningyu Pill at fifty thousand taels, which is fifty thousand taels at the moment, and cannot be discounted or reduced in price at will.
Tang'er may not be able to make the decision, and if she continues to pester him, she might offend the emperor.
Thinking of this, Princess Cheng no longer had the heart to blame Yuntang.
It was only about 150,000 taels of silver. As a princess who had lived a wealthy life, this amount of money was nothing to her.
"It's not easy for you either." Princess Cheng said with a smile.
"Whether it's contributing to the sect or taking on the responsibility of being the princess protecting the country, you are able to do this at such a young age. Grandmother is proud of you."
Hearing the affirmation and praise from his grandmother, Yuntang immediately smiled happily.
She reached into her sleeve and a small and exquisite white porcelain bottle appeared in her hand, with a paper with the words "Ning Yu Dan" stuck on it.
She handed the white porcelain bottle to Princess Cheng and said, "Grandmother, here are three Ningyu Pills. You can ask any cousin to deliver the 150,000 taels of silver later."
"Okay." Princess Cheng didn't let the maidservants around her reach out, she took the small porcelain bottle herself.
I opened the bottle stopper out of curiosity and was about to take a look when I smelled a refreshing fragrance that almost intoxicated me.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she heard Yuntang remind her, "Grandma, don't let Danxiang run away."
Princess Cheng was so frightened that her hands shook and she almost dropped the small porcelain bottle. With shaking hands, she quickly put the cork back into the bottle and looked at Yuntang solemnly.
"Is this medicine affected?" This small bottle costs 150,000 taels.
"I heard from outside that if you take one pill of this Ningyu Pill after dinner, take a bath after a quarter of an hour, and then have a good sleep, you will be radiant when you wake up the next morning."
Princess Kang Yi looked at the porcelain bottle in her mother's hand with bright eyes, and spoke the words that came from outside.
Since Tianji Pavilion has auctioned it, naturally the usage and effects will be spread. Otherwise, who would know about Ningyudan?
Yuntang smiled and agreed casually, but he naturally would not say that Ningyudan also had some of the effects of Xisuidan.
Soon after taking the marrow cleansing pill, many body impurities will be secreted, causing the body to become dirty and smelly, so you must take a bath soon after taking it.
Ningyudan is mainly used to regulate the body's vitality, and of course it will also give priority to eliminating impurities in the body.
It cleans the meridians and blood vessels, and provides vital energy, thus making the body younger in spirit.
Similar functions are found in Xisui Dan, Peiyuan Dan, Guling Dan and Yangxin Dan, but the ratios of ingredients and other medicinal effects are different, so the results are also different.
Of course, for those who practice Taoism, other elixirs are obviously more useful, and Ningyu Pill is obviously far from achieving the effect that those who practice Taoism need.
But for ordinary women, it is enough to change many problems.
"Tang'er, get me another bottle and give it to your mother later..." Princess Cheng hesitated for a moment and spoke again.
