Chapter 1773 Reward

The eunuch in the palace put down the reward, said a few auspicious words, and went back.

Jin Lan followed him out and gave the eunuch some silver. When he turned around and came back, Fang Ximei had ordered someone to open the box.

"What is your reward?" She stretched her neck to see.

This gesture...

Jin Lan shook her head, walked over to take a look, and said, "It's a set of glass tea cups. It's probably something Yun Ji invented, and it's the most sought after by the nobles nowadays."

"Really, show me."

Jin Lan casually took a cup and handed it over.

Fang Ximei played with it and couldn't put it down: "It's light and clean. It's really a good thing. This set is probably not cheap?"

Jin Lan said: "Such a set, if sold in Yunji, it would be worth five hundred taels of silver."

"So expensive?" Fang Ximei exclaimed.

"This thing is only available at Yunji Store now, and it is not for ordinary people. It is naturally not cheap." Jin Lan said.

Fang Ximei said: "The Queen is really good at doing business. It would be great if I had half of her ability to make money. I heard that the Queen's business is very big and there are semicolons everywhere. How much money will I make this year? ?”

Jin Lan said calmly: "The Queen's business did make a lot of money, but almost all of it was used to fill the national treasury and support the army's military expenditures. I did the math for a while. With the Queen's money, after deducting the costs of housing and wages, she herself There’s probably nothing left.”

Fang Ximei was surprised: "Isn't your hard work in vain?"

"Working in vain?" Jin Lan shook his head, "You really don't understand anything."

Fang Ximei lowered her head.

She knew that she was illiterate and didn't understand anything. She often felt ashamed of herself in front of her husband.

Jin Lan didn't say anything more, put down the glass, took another small brocade box, opened it, and found a pair of exquisite small bracelets inside.

"This is probably for the child." He handed the box to Fang Ximei.

Fang Ximei was so happy that she looked over and over again and asked someone to put it on the child. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Queen would still remember me and reward me with something."

Jin Lan said: "Because of being demoted as a concubine, don't you have any resentment towards the Queen in your heart?"

"Husband, don't talk nonsense, I don't dare."

Fang Ximei asked him happily, "Husband, tell me, if I ask the Queen to give this child a name, is that okay?"

"Please give me a name, please?"

"Yes, your Majesty is willing to reward such a good thing, which shows that your Majesty is generous and does not care about my mistakes. I beg your Majesty to give me a name, will you refuse? With the name given by your Majesty, this child will be more honorable in the palace in the future. .”

Jin Lan said: "Don't have sweet dreams. Does the empress give names to people at will?"

"I'm going to thank you and ask for your grace."

"I advise you to be calm." Jin Lan poured cold water on her, "These graces cannot be obtained by asking for them. If you rush to ask for them, your Majesty may not necessarily give them to you."

Fang Ximei whispered: "But Caicai..."

"How can you and Hongdou be the same? What's the relationship between her and the empress?" Jin Lan said, "I will thank you for you, and you can stay in confinement to recuperate."

Fang Ximei refused to give up: "My husband also said that the empress is generous and easy to talk to. If I hold the child and ask for it, the empress will not deny it."

"Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Why is this causing trouble? Isn't this for the good of the child?" Fang Ximei frowned and said, "This child should have been a legitimate daughter, but now she is a concubine. As a mother, I just want to try my best to make her life as good as possible. , is this also wrong?”
