With a loud bang, the jade paperweight hit the ground, splattering debris.

A shard slid across Shen Gongming's cheek, causing a sharp pain, and when he reached out his hand, it was covered with blood.

Shen Gongming felt ecstatic in his heart, his life was saved, "The emperor calms down, I deserve death for my sin!"

In fact, it was also thanks to the fact that Ning Shizheng didn't really intend to kill, and the hand that threw the paperweight was slightly off at the last moment, otherwise he wouldn't be alive.

Ning Shizheng snorted angrily: "I think you deserve to die as Minister of the Household Department. When you were Minister of the Household Department, my three major granaries were full, but now you tell me that you can't make ends meet. Why don't you come sooner?" Report to me?"

The water in the granary was too deep, and Shen Gongming didn't dare to lift the lid, "Your Majesty, I just learned the news."

Ning Shizheng: "Mr. Xue Ge, I order you to investigate the matter of the granary thoroughly with the Sanfa Division to see who has the guts to give my three granaries to Tanmo."

Xue Song: "I obey the order!"

Ning Shizheng: "Shen Gongming, I'll fine you half a year's salary first, for your past merits, and save your dog's life to do disaster relief for me, can you hear me clearly?"

Shen Gongming kowtowed to thank him: "The emperor is wise, and the minister is responsible!"

Gao Wei hummed a ditty and teased the bird in the cage, so pleasant!

Since delivering the decree to Xiao Yan, his life has become better and better.

He gave the nobles in the palace perfume, etc., which successfully aroused their great interest. It is said that there was a concubine who had been thrown into the cold palace for more than ten years. After using the perfume, she successfully got Ning Shizheng's again. pet.

Therefore, shampoo and soap have become cherished products. Not only the concubines in the palace are scrambling to get them, but also the meritorious families, princes, ministers, wealthy businessmen and so on outside all come to Gaowei to make reservations.

As a result, Gao Wei's pockets gradually bulged. No, he recently bought this small courtyard for more than 800 taels of silver.

When I am not on duty, I go to my small yard to grow flowers and plants, and play with the little birds, so I am very unhappy.

Recently, I took my nephew Gao Xiaohu from his hometown, and prepared to take him with him to cultivate him well. The incense of Lao Gao's family must be continued well.

Now, Gao Wei's most urgent thing is to see Xiao Yan sooner, after all, whoever is followed by a lot of people rushing to buy perfume will be troubled.

If he hadn't known that Xiao Yan was participating in the provincial examination, Gao Wei would have gone to Xiao Yan to discuss countermeasures, so why would he still be here to tease the birds.

"Bang bang bang" a hasty knock on the door interrupted the moment of tranquility in the courtyard.

Gao Wei: "Who is it again? This early in the morning is not safe! Xiaohu, go and open the door."

Gao Xiaohu was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was dark and strong, and he had the honesty of a countryman, "Understood, uncle."

With a "squeak", the door opened, and the people who came in were not those who chased after Gao Wei all day to buy perfume, but a person he would never have expected.

"Commander Dai? You also want to buy perfume?"

Dai Yi is busy, and it looks like he has been running around for a long time, "Grandpa Gao, I don't have the money to buy those. You are so free. I have been looking for you in and out of the palace for more than an hour, and I have found you."

Gao Wei looked blank: "Oh? I don't know why Commander Dai is looking for our family?"

Dai Yi took a sip of water, "Xiao Yan asked me to come to you."

Gao Wei asked suspiciously, "Isn't he taking the provincial examination?"

Dai Yi: "It is said that he handed in the paper ahead of time, maybe he has a plan in mind!"

Gao Wei: "Then why didn't he come in person, but dare to bother Commander Dai? This kid is really daring."

Dai Yi: "Eunuch Gao, it is said that the emperor entrusted Xiao Yan with a secret matter. Is this true or false?"

Gao Wei was taken aback, "What secret?"

Dai Yi: "Eunuch Gao, wise people don't speak secretly, but you passed down the imperial decree. How do I know if there is a secret decree?"

Gao Wei thought to himself: Since Xiao Yan said yes, maybe he really did, and our family is not easy to dismantle his platform. Our family has worked hard for decades, and now that the time is turning, we have to rely on Xiao Yan to make further progress.

After careful consideration, he said: "Commander Dai, our family really doesn't know what is going on, maybe there are some secrets that we don't know about! Besides, how can the emperor's mind be guessed by us courtiers?"

Dai Yi nodded: "Don't dare, how about Eunuch Gao and come with me?"

Gao Wei naturally agreed, he has been waiting for this day for too long, can he finally get a large batch of perfume?

"Unexpectedly, the young master is also very good at serving people."

"Yes, you can see that the porridge is fed carefully, not a single drop leaked out."

"This is delicate work, I, Zhang Xiaojia, can't do it."

"You don't look at you like that, can you have a beauty like Miss Zhou for you to serve?"

Xiao Yan: "Go and go, all go at the same time, don't hinder the young master from feeding me the porridge."

After coaxing away these light bulbs, the room was finally quiet.

Xue's mother and daughter have been locked up in a nearby room. The imperial doctor was not invited just now, but two doctors came.

After the diagnosis, it was confirmed that Zhou Xueer was infected with wind-cold. According to the theory, she was already terminally ill, but for some reason, her pulse gradually stabilized, and her symptoms of wind-cold also improved. After ten and a half months of recuperation, she will be cured.

The doctor prescribed some nourishing prescriptions, collected the consultation fee and left full of doubts.

Xiao Yan also didn't say anything about antipyretics, one more thing is worse than one less thing, in short Zhou Xueer is fine, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Although Zhou Xueer woke up, her body was still very weak, she stopped drinking half a bowl of rice porridge, "Brother Xiao Yan, what day is today?"

Xiao Yan didn't understand: "It's just an ordinary day, what's so special about it?"

Zhou Xueer: "What time is it in August?"

Xiao Yan: "Oh, what are you talking about? Let me do the math. Today is the eighth day of the rural examination that starts on the third day of August, so it should be the tenth day."

Zhou Xueer's face flushed with anxiety, and she coughed several times, "You...you're so confused...cough cough cough..."

Xiao Yan was a little at a loss, "Sister Xue'er, did I do something wrong? You haven't recovered from your illness, so don't get angry."

After finally calming down, Zhou Xueer had tears in her eyes, "You have grown up now and have your own opinions, but you can't ignore ten years of hard study and don't even take the township exam, you are going to piss me off Are you willing?"

Although he was misunderstood, Xiao Yan still felt sweet in his heart, and it felt so good to be cared about by others. Thinking of this in his heart, he also showed an intoxicated look on his face.

Zhou Xueer snorted coquettishly: "You're still laughing, you're really going to piss me off!"
