Chapter 307: keep one hand

Chapter 307 Reserved

In the front hall of Prince Qi's Mansion, Fu Xun, the minister of Honglu Temple, was full of anger, waiting for Xiao Jin's arrival.

He was busy in the yamen, but someone from the mansion suddenly came and said something happened, so he rushed back immediately and found that Xiao Zhou was covered in injuries and crying about how Su Ying brutally plundered his eldest son.

Fu Xun, who was born in the first-class Duke's mansion, has never encountered such a thing. Even King Qi would come to ask for an explanation.

Fu Xun decided to question Xiao Jin preemptively as soon as he came, leaving Xiao Jin speechless, but for some reason, when he met Xiao Jin's dark eyes that were as deep as an abyss, all his anger was instantly suffocated.

Xiao Jin sat down on the chair, looked at Fu Xun expressionlessly, "Master Fu."

Fu Xun came back to his senses, and immediately bowed to salute, "My lord."

"Master Fu went to the house to find me something?"

Fu Xun thought about the purpose of coming here today, "I heard from my wife that the princess kidnapped the eldest son of the lower official, and the lower official is here to ask what's going on?"

Xiao Jin frowned, "Abducted?"

"Yes, my wife has no grievances with Princess Qi. I don't know why the princess made things difficult for my wife and even injured her."

"The princess also beat the lady?"

Fu Xun thought Xiao Jin didn't know, "Yes."

"That should be what she deserves, the princess never hits people without reason."

"This." Fu Xun choked, "It's too much for the prince to say that. It's clear that the princess bullied others first. Could it be the wife who is at fault? Prince Qi's mansion is too bullying too much!"

Xiao Jin took a long time to click on the table, "I remember that your eldest son is already eight years old, right?"

Fu Xun didn't know why Xiao Jin suddenly asked, "Yes."

"Seeing him today, this king is not as tall as Ji'er. Master Fu, you are treating the eldest son harshly."

"What?" Fu Xun was stunned.

"He has bruises all over his body, his face is yellow and thin. He said that in the house, he can only eat at the same table with his servants. What's more, he can't even stay in the servant's room. Isn't this harsh treatment?"

Fu Xun showed annoyance on his face, "My lord, please don't wrong a good man. Zheng'er has been weak and sick since he was a child. He can't eat anything and doesn't like to eat..."

"At noon, he ate two big bowls from this king." Xiao Jin interrupted him indifferently.

"This, this is impossible..." Xiao Zhou didn't tell him that.

"Master Fu doesn't believe it, so let someone stay in the palace for seven days. After seven days, you can judge whether what the king said is true."

"This won't work, he is the heir of Duke Zhen's mansion, how can he be allowed to stay in Prince Qi's mansion?"

"The king can only refer to you for one copy."

Fu Xun gritted his back teeth. He didn't believe that Fu Zheng was being treated harshly. "Okay, seven days later, I'll come down to pick him up after seven days." If Fu Zheng didn't change after seven days, he'd have to see Xiao Fu. Jhin what else to say!

Fu Xun bid farewell and left, forgetting to ask for an explanation for Xiao Zhou.

…

Fu Zheng felt uncomfortably hot all over. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw Su Ying sitting on a chair, eating melon seeds.

"Princess..." Fu Zheng said, his throat was on fire and he seemed uncomfortable.

Su Ying threw away the melon seeds and stood up, reached out and touched his forehead, "Is it uncomfortably hot?"

Fu Zheng nodded and sat up. At first he thought his body would be uncomfortable, but after sitting up, he found that his whole body seemed to be much lighter.

"The heat will subside soon, sit cross-legged, I will teach you a few methods of practicing inner breathing, you should study hard."

Fu Zheng nodded obediently.

"Put the tongue against the palate, and then use the nose to breathe, can the breath be inhaled all the way down to the dantian of the abdominal cavity?"

Fu Zheng followed what Su Ying said, and he could really feel the air flow passing through his body to his abdomen.

"Your body is weak, and your breath is too short. This method can replenish your breath. After you inhale your breath as much as possible, hold your breath for three moments, and then let it out slowly. When you exhale, the pubic area is tightened and compressed. To the extreme, then hold your breath for three short moments, and repeat this, every morning after waking up, exhale for an hour, and first replenish the breath."

"Yes, I see."

"Well, practice first by yourself."

After Su Ying finished speaking, she also sat aside and began to adjust her breath.

She used ancient martial arts skills in hand-to-hand combat, and her luck will be more lethal.

For the next few days, Su Ying did special training for Fu Zheng from morning till night.

It is impossible to train a child with zero foundation to become a master in seven days, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people.

"Princess, I have read all the account books sent over by the servants from the Su Mansion!"

Lin Zhuyu ran up to Su Ying holding the ledger.

"Any questions?"

“The ledger looks fine at first glance.”

"kindness?"

"But the servant girl found some problems."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows, she was still very concerned about her small treasury, "What's the problem?"

Lin Zhuyu spread out the account book she had concluded, "Take one of the restaurants as an example. This restaurant is located on the main street of the capital. It has been open for more than ten years, but the strange thing is that this restaurant The restaurant is in a state of loss every year, and the best situation is to make ends meet, but the annual loss is not much, only a few tens of taels of silver."

As she said that, she turned a page in the account book, "There is also this jewelry store, which is not far from the restaurant, and it has been losing money year after year, even more than the restaurant. The reason why the servants use these two places as examples is that It’s because it’s so rare.”

Su Ying answered, "Tell me."

"My servant checked the house deed and title deed of the shop and probably has an understanding. As for the shops in these two areas, even if they are rented out, they can earn thousands of taels of silver every year. The servant does not understand why such a shop has lost money year after year. You have to continue to operate on your own.”

Su Ying grunted, but there was no expression on her face.

"After discovering this problem, the maidservant specially asked someone from the house to go to the scene to check the situation. The person who went to check came back and said that the business of these two shops is very good, and I can't figure out why they can't make money."

"Go and find Mother Zhao."

After Zhao's mother came over, Su Ying asked her directly, among all the dowry shops in the Jiangyuan family, which ones were the most profitable.

Mother Zhao mentioned a few places, including the jewelry store and restaurant mentioned by Lin Zhuyu.

"Princess, is there something wrong with the account book?" Zhao's mother is a smart person, and she understands it when she thinks about it.

Su Ying showed the summary made by Lin Zhuyu to Zhao's mother, "After the things were in Xiaojiang Yuanshi's hands, he kept losing money. Doesn't Zhao's mother find it strange?"

Mother Zhao frowned. She knew all about Jiang Yuan's dowry shop, and every location was very good.

Su Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, "No wonder those things are so crisp, so there are still quite a few in my hand."
