The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Next, Qiu Chi told Gu Wangshu exactly what Gu Chengfeng had done.

"Later, the second master ordered the chef to kill all the chickens, ducks and geese in the house. After getting the down, he found the tailor in the house and sewed a piece of clothing with the down. Later, the second master took the clothes to To the East Palace."

"I followed you all the way to the palace gate and couldn't get in. However, I didn't leave. The second master stayed in the East Palace for more than three hours before he came out. When he came back, he looked heavy."

"Hasn't the winter clothes been solved? Why does the second master look more worried?"

Qiu Chi didn't know why, but Gu Wangshu knew it very well.

Winter coat problem solved.

However, the problem of empty national treasury has not yet been solved.

If there is no money, even if Helian people have chickens, ducks and geese in every household, they cannot rob them.

The people have long complained about the imperial court. Once they do this, they will force the people to rise up and overthrow the Helian Dynasty.

I can't get the money out, so if I can find a way, I can only do it in a hurry.

And she had already thought of this method for her second uncle.

This method can not only solve the problem of empty treasury, but also rescue Zhou Ziyan from prison.

It can quickly fill the national treasury and avoid Concubine Wen's objections. Not only will she not object, but she may also make it convenient.

Although the old emperor was fatuous, he would never want the country to perish.

On the surface, he seems not to care about the soldiers on the northern border, but deep down he is worried about the invasion of Mobei.

Therefore, if there is a way to replenish the treasury, the old emperor will definitely accept it happily.

As long as he agreed, Concubine Wen didn't have to let Zhou Ziyan go if she didn't want to.

The question now is how she can hint the method to her second uncle.

Gu Wangshu's fingers unconsciously rubbed the tea cup.

Qiu Chi wondered why the young lady was in a daze again. Ever since she woke up this morning, something was wrong with her.

But there was something wrong, and she couldn't tell. It seemed that her temperament had changed drastically.

"Miss?" Qiu Chi couldn't help but call out.

This sound successfully attracted Gu Wangshu's attention.

When his eyes fell on Qiu Chi, Gu Wangshu suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Before the palace banquet started last night, you told me that your brother couldn't pay the tribute, right?"

The so-called Nazheng gift refers to the betrothal gift, which is the fourth of the six marriage rites.

When the marriage is accepted, the man's family will send someone to the woman's home to deliver the betrothal gift to formally confirm the marriage relationship between the two parties.

When the betrothal gift is given, it means that both men and women are interested in each other. If they regret the marriage because they cannot come up with the betrothal gift, it will have a serious impact on future mate selection.

This is still the case with the issue of betrothal gifts in modern times, not to mention the feudal society that values ​​etiquette.

In her previous life, Qiu Chi had mentioned the whole story to her, but since the palace banquet was about to begin, she said she would deal with it after the palace banquet was over.

But she didn't expect that both she and Qiuchi died at the palace banquet.

For Qiu Chi, this incident only happened yesterday, but for Gu Wangshu, a year had passed.

Surprise immediately appeared on Qiu Chi's face.

She thought the young lady had forgotten it, and kept hesitating whether to remind her, but she didn't expect that the young lady would take the initiative to mention it.

"My brother promised to give the bride's family a bride price of 20 taels. Later, a friend of his named Yu Quan wanted to open a restaurant, so he borrowed the 20 taels from his brother and promised to pay it back with interest."

"Business was booming after Yu Quan's restaurant opened, but unexpectedly his peers became jealous and took the initiative to come to find trouble and destroy the restaurant."

"Yu Quan couldn't get angry, so he started fighting with the opponent. The opponent had a large number of people and beat Yu Quan, and even went to the county government to sue Yu Quan for killing his customers."

"The county magistrate arrested and imprisoned Yu Quan without any hesitation and sentenced him to three years in prison."

"..."

The more Qiuchi talked, the angrier he became, and his eye circles became red.

"Seeing that the day for collecting the gifts was coming soon, Yu Quan also promised to return the money before accepting the gifts, but he didn't want to wait for him to pay back the money, so he went into the cell."

"Miss, can you help my brother?" She was about to kneel down.

Gu Wangshu held her back and prevented her from kneeling down.

"How long will it be until your brother accepts the gift?"

"It's still half a month."

Half a month?Time is enough.

She could just take advantage of Brother Qiuchi's situation to rescue Zhou Ziyan from prison and solve the problem of the treasury being empty.

Zhou Ziyan decided to ask for execution in seven days. Counting on his fingers, he still had three days left for her.

In these three days, Zhou Shilang should come to the general's mansion to ask for his second uncle.

There is no need to go to court tomorrow to rest, and Minister Zhou will probably come tomorrow.

The reason why she was so sure was because Zhou Shilang's immediate boss was the Minister of Punishment.

The Minister of Punishment is her uncle Lu Yusheng.

Because of her mother's relationship, the Lu family and the Gu family have a close relationship, otherwise her mother would not have chosen Zhou Ziyan to be Meng Ying's fiancé.

"I can help your brother."

Qiu Chi looked happy and was about to kneel down to thank him when Gu Wangshu said:

"However, I also need your help with something."

"Miss, if you have anything to do, just ask your servant."

Gu Wangshu waved to her.

Qiu Chi understood and approached Gu Wangshu. Gu Wangshu lowered his voice and told her a few words in her ear.

Qiu Chi's expression changed very wonderfully.

From surprise to astonishment, and finally to eyes wide open.

She knew that her young lady was smart, but she never thought that her young lady was not only smart, but also very resourceful.

Even the princes and ministers might not be able to think of the things she was told.

For such an important matter, the young lady actually chose to inform her first, which shows how much the young lady trusts her, and she must not let the young lady down.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the solemnity in Qiu Chi's eyes, and a smile flashed across Gu Wangshu's eyes.

She could rest assured that such a slave could die for her in her previous life.

"Remember?"

"Don't worry, Miss. When Minister Zhou comes to the General's Mansion, I will definitely follow the instructions of the Miss. There will never be any mistakes."

"It's just that I don't understand. Since the young lady has a way, why not tell the second master directly?"

"not the right time yet."

What she wants to do is not just to solve the current dilemma, but to stir up trouble in the court and bring the old emperor down.

The matter is so important, who will let women participate in it?

If she wants to participate, she needs to be recognized for her usefulness.

She has to lure the fish to the bait step by step and make the target take the initiative to "throw herself into her arms".

The next day.

Qiu Chi got up early, washed up, left Qinxinyuan, and went straight to the concierge.

Before reaching the concierge, he met Meng Ying's personal maid Zisu on the way.

Zisu looked anxious, followed by an old doctor.

Zisu also discovered her, called "Sister Qiuchi", and left with the old doctor.

No need to ask more, Qiu Chi also knew that the cousin must be sick.

For such a delicate person as Miss Cousin, she must have been seriously ill after kneeling in the rain all night.

She wanted to know her lady, but she gave up the idea after thinking about what the lady told her last night.

It's still important to get down to business.

It won't be too late to inform the lady after the matter at hand is finished.

Thinking of this, Qiuchi came to the concierge.
