Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 80: A Den of Old Foxes
Ah!
Xie Zhaozhao stroked his chest, and his heart ached again when he thought of his brother.
Gu Chengyan, Guan Yingying, in this life, without my dowry, let’s see how you can get along.
Xie Zhaozhao said to Manman, "Go tell Ling Xun to buy 10 dan of grain during the autumn harvest and find a place to store it first. Be careful not to get wet."
10 shi, currently requires 3 taels of silver.
Manman was very happy when talking about the Lingxun, and went there happily.
Xie Zhaozhao called Yuanyuan to the bedroom again and said to her, "Yuanyuan, go out quietly and contact Dongqin. This year's grain harvest is great, tell him to stockpile as much grain as possible. Don't let anyone know, tell him to stockpile in secret."
"Didn't you ask Lord Ling to stock up?"
"Ling Xun is a court official. 10 shi is the limit of what he can buy. If he buys more, if someone brings it up in the future, they will accuse him of maliciously hoarding grain, which will affect his future."
Yuanyuan understood immediately and asked quietly, "How much is Dongqintun?"
"Tell him to store at least 50 shi, the more the better. But different people must do the work, and they shouldn't keep them all in one place." Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to take all the banknotes. "Go to the farm, call Yunxiao and Yunyuan, and go find Dongqin together. Be careful."
Yuanyuan knew that the matter was serious, so she said solemnly: "Miss, don't worry."
She has martial arts skills, but she is a girl after all. 20 taels of silver would be enough to kill her if she were discovered.
So when Yuanyuan left home, no one knew where she went, except Xie Zhaozhao.
When Manman came back from the farm, Yuanyuan had already packed up her things and left the capital with Yunyuan and Yunxiao.
The court was dismissed at noon. Gu Shaoyu, who was always diligent and would not leave the court until 3:00 p.m., reviewed all the memorials very efficiently and was about to return home.
Emperor Hui sent someone to summon him to the Imperial Study to discuss matters. Gu Ge Lao, who always showed great respect to His Majesty, said to Hua Zisheng, "Hua Zongguan, can you say you didn't see me?"
Hanako Sheng: “…”
My Lord, do you think this is in the mountains?
The slave can't see you? If the slave dares to reply to your majesty like this, I'm afraid you will never see the slave again, right?
Gu Shaoyu put his things down and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Emperor Hui saw him packing up and preparing to go home, and asked in surprise, "Where are you going, sir?"
"The court is adjourned." said Gu Shaoyu.
"Didn't you leave after 12:00?"
For ten years, Gu Shaoyu has never walked before the hour of Wei. Now he comes to tell Your Majesty that the court will be adjourned at noon?
"The court was originally dismissed at noon, and I am diligent in leaving at noon."
I work overtime because I have good character, not because I am born to work overtime.
Emperor Hui was laughing to death, but he asked seriously, "Is there something urgent in the palace?"
Then he saw his elder nodded obediently: "Yes."
Hmm, you head! Emperor Hui rolled his eyes in his heart, you are a guy who misses his wife. Since the wedding, you have been running faster than anyone else every day.
Emperor Hui said, "Please sit down. I have something to ask you."
Gu Shaoyu sat down and waited for him to finish asking questions and then go back quickly.
"Xie, I was talking about your wife. Did she really open a trade route to Xiandou?"
"I don't know yet. The ship has already gone."
"How much did she spend?"
"Why do you ask that, Your Majesty? Do you want to throw in some money?"
Emperor Hui really wanted to beat him!
I asked him how much silver he had spent, and he wanted to take out my secret treasury.
"She must have spent a lot of money to open a shipping line, right? That ship is worth a lot of money. Was it all given to her by that old man Xie Anfeng?"
Gu Shaoyu looked at Emperor Hui very seriously and replied, "My father-in-law didn't give my wife any money, and he didn't even know that my wife was doing business. My eldest brother-in-law knew, but he didn't have any money, so they just gave spiritual support."
After that, he added: "My father-in-law is not an old man. He is in the prime of his life and is at the age to serve the country."
Emperor Hui was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with his eyes narrowed, picked up a brush from the table and threw it at him.
"You are such a good fellow, Lord Gu. You have only been married for a few days, but your heart has become crooked."
Gu Shaoyu did not hide, but smiled and said seriously: "My heart has always been on the left, and has never been straight. That is where it should be, and it is also the most correct place."
Emperor Hui stopped laughing and said, "Forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Let's put it this way. Your wife did something I dare not do. This time when you come back from the voyage, you invested money for me. I don't care whether you make a profit or a loss. Just tell her to do it boldly. If anything goes wrong, I will cover it for her."
A box was given to Gu Shaoyu. Gu Shaoyu knew there were banknotes inside, but he did not take it.
"Zhao Zhao is a woman. Even if she opens a trade route, it is just a small matter. Your Majesty does not need to take this risk."
Emperor Hui hit him with the brush again and said, "You bastard... Forget it, this silver is a reward from me, you can use it however you want."
This time, Gu Shaoyu took the box and left.
Hua Zisheng smiled, poured a glass of water for His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, the Lord Minister does not want to complicate a trade route, nor does he want to add pressure to Madam."
Emperor Hui said, "Of course I know that. The Lord Minister doesn't want others to pay too much attention to the trade routes."
Especially the Crown Prince and Duke Cheng'en.
Gu Shaoyu returned home with the box. Nanxing walked in and looked around the house. Yuanyuan was not there. Aunt Cui and Manman were doing embroidery.
Xie Zhaozhao personally made a belt for Gu Shaoyu and embroidered the pattern herself very carefully.
Aunt Cui saw him first. Gu Shaoyu gently shook his index finger, telling Aunt Cui and Manman not to disturb Xie Zhaozhao.
He secretly stood behind her and watched her embroider the auspicious clouds bit by bit.
Xie Zhaozhao embroidered for a while, then paused, without raising her head, and said, "Are you back?"
Gu Shaoyu looked around. Is he talking to him?
"Why aren't you talking? Today the Zhang family sent a basket of cucumbers. They've been washed and soaked in ice water. Have a couple of bites first."
Xie Zhaozhao put down the work in his hands, saw that his face was covered with sweat, and quickly took a cloth, soaked it in water, wrung it out and gave it to him.
But he didn't take it. He squatted beside him and gave her his face - to wipe it!
Xie Zhaozhao carefully wiped his face clean. He looked into her eyes without blinking. His eyes were like those of a newborn puppy, black, bright, and innocent, making her face turn red. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Just now, how did you know I was behind you? Do you have eyes on the back of your head?"
"Can't I smell it if I can't see it? I can smell you."
Gu Shaoyu immediately sniffed all over his body and asked, "Is it rotten?"
"It's not that it's rotten, it's just that your smell is very unique. I knew it was you as soon as I smelled it." Xie Zhaozhao didn't want to talk to him, so he quickly changed the subject, "Is there anything interesting happening outside today?"
"There is one thing, I wonder if you would like to hear it?"
"How do you know if I like it or not if you don't tell me?"
"The Dali Temple recently took on a case..."
He paused here, and Xie Zhaozhao suddenly remembered the "expired milk" case, and immediately said, "If it's about expired food or something, don't talk about it."
Gu Shaoyu said seriously: "No, it has nothing to do with food."
