Tao Minxiu's parents died young. She relied on student loans and support from well-wishers, and worked hard to finish college.
Her life creed is engraved in her bones: Nothing that can be solved with money is a problem, saving money is the last word.
Unexpectedly, she would transform into the most favored eldest princess in the dynasty.
Looking at the mountains of gold and silver ingots piled up in the warehouse, her first reaction was - are these all mine? Can I spend it?
But before she could touch the gold and silver, this noble gentleman who was said to be forcibly married by the original princess stopped her.
"It's just silver. This belongs to the princess. As long as the princess wants, everything in the world can belong to the princess."
His voice was calm and he didn't mean to stop her at all, but Tao Minxiu heard the warning.
He is reminding her that you are not a princess.
So, the nightmare began.
Drinking tea requires three brews and four brews, eating a meal requires seventy-two procedures, and even going to the toilet requires burning incense, bathing and changing clothes.
Tao Minxiu looked at the burned spice bill, her heart bleeding: Isn't this a waste of money? !
The prince-in-law said that this was a normal expense for a princess and she would tolerate it.
On the way to pretending to be a princess, you have to learn everything about sitting, lying, walking, etiquette, clothing, and how to treat others.
"Your Highness," Xu Hui tapped his fingertips on the table and said coldly, "Tomorrow the steward and the maid will come to thank you. According to the rules, each of them will be rewarded with two taels of silver."
"Two taels?!"
Tao Minxiu instantly converted to modern prices in her mind: Two taels of silver was enough for her to eat in the university cafeteria for three months! Is this just a reward? And the basic salary? !
She looked at the long queue, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. She weakly raised her hand:
"Um... Can I apply to be this servant?"
Xu Hui: "..."
Many years later, Tao Minxiu, who has become the president of the academy, is immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Suddenly, the accountant came to report with a sad face:
"Chief Shan, pens, inks, paper and inkstones cost a lot of money. This one is 500, that one is 1,000 taels..."
"Also, the labor costs, lumber costs, land costs for the new school building..."
Listening to these familiar numbers, Tao Minxiu's face turned dark and her fingers trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, gritted her teeth and waved:
"Buy!"
Mr. Accountant stepped back relieved.
Xu Hui on the side put down the book in his hand: "Your Highness, I remember that you wanted to make trouble for the people today just for the reward of two taels."
Tao Minxiu glared at him: "Can that be the same?! Two taels are for others, these are for my future students! This is called investment!"
"Investment." Xu Hui chewed these two words carefully and smiled, "Does the investment I have invested in His Highness over the years count?"
Tao Minxiu:…………
Intention: Study hard and make progress every day
