wealthy queen

At the time of the vertical day, Qingping King Pei Yuanzheng assembled a large number of armored guards, and marched out of the imperial city in a mighty way on the grounds that he was curious about the prophecy of Monk Rui'an in Wangyue City. For his extravagant nonsense, the common people pointed and pointed, and the civil and military officials were also filled with righteous indignation. It is said that the emperor who was still in the early dynasty changed his face on the spot. After the next dynasty, the mighty general Ling Wei asked for an order to go to Wangyue City again. city.

On this day, almost everyone was talking about the two armies rushing to Wangyue City one after the other. Everyone's attention was on it. No one expected that at two quarters, the death knell in the palace suddenly rang , the common people are still in a daze, news came out from the palace that the empress who had been sick for several years passed away, and not long after, the emperor's imperial decree was posted in the trouble spots in every city, the mother of the country passed away, and the people of the whole country mourned in silence. All happiness and funerals are prohibited within the month.

"My lord, you are right, the queen is dead."

Lei Zhen, who just came back today after arranging everything outside, couldn't help but have complicated eyes, not doubting anything, just worried that the matter of Wangyue City will come true tomorrow.

"The empress passed away suddenly, there must be chaos outside."

Now everyone's attention is on Wangyue City, who would have thought that the empress would pass away at this time.

"Well, it's okay for poor people. They usually wear coarse linen clothes. Rich and noble families crowded into the cloth shop to buy linen, but the linen has long been confiscated by Murong's family. It won't be until the next day, many people have gone to Murong's house, the royal family is no exception, there are too many people in the palace, and the stored linen is simply not enough."

Although Lei Zhen was in the Ascension Hospital, he received the news in a timely manner, and the situation outside was basically clear.

"They can't wait for the merchant ship, Lei Zhen, and then send someone to Murong's house to tell them that they must persevere and obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost."

When it rains tomorrow, not only Wangyue City, but all waterways will be involved. Ships sailing on the water will have to berth nearby, including the Caibu merchant ship. Murong's family is a merchant, and Shen Liang has no special instructions. They know How to do it.

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Lei Zhen backed out, Shen Liang teased the child with a rattle and said, "Brother Yue, tell me to go on, stay behind closed doors for a few days, and ignore people coming from the front and back yards."

"it is good."

Qi Yue wished that this order would continue, so that those people would not always want to kill him.

"Aren't you going to college tomorrow?"

"I can't go, the college is going to be on vacation again, I will stay at home during this time and spend time with our family Youer."

Shaking his head, the second half of Shen Liang's sentence was obviously addressed to Shen You who was sitting in a special chair for children. I don't know if it was because of his special birth and the long-distance travel. Shen You is not only easy to support, but also very playful. Every time she is "ravaged" by Shen Liang, an uncle who has been a professional cheater for 100 years, she will not cry, but always laugh and giggle, excited.

"Liangliang, don't pinch it, I doubt whether the little flesh on the young master's face is raised or swollen by you."

However, every time Fu Ying felt very distressed, how could an uncle like to pinch his nephew's face whenever he had nothing to do?

"Hey...it feels too good to bear."

Seeing the child being hugged by him, Shen Liang sneered twice with itchy hands. Seeing his uncle smiling, Xiao Shenyou kept reaching out to him, staring at his legs and begging for a hug. Fu Ying pulled his hand down. Staring at Shen Liang angrily, he said: "Little young master is good, uncle bullies others, let's ignore him."

"Ah..."

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Shenyou couldn't understand his kindness at all, he only had his eyes on his uncle, which made Shen Liang and Qi Yue and Qi Xuan couldn't help laughing, and finally even Fu Ying laughed helplessly. This may be the so-called blood bond Bar?Obviously Shen Liang spends the least amount of time with children, but Shen You likes him the most, and every time he sees him, he always wants to cling to him.

Lotus Fragrance Court

"What? Can't buy it?"

As soon as the news of the queen's death came out, Zhao Lan, who was in charge of Zhongfu, immediately sent people to buy linen from the cloth shop, but the manager ran all over the shops in the imperial city, but he couldn't buy even a foot of linen. The three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were talking about the Queen's affairs in the courtyard changed their faces on the spot. The imperial decree clearly stipulates that everyone must wear mourning for one month. If they can't buy linen, then...

"How did that happen? Did you really go to every drapery store? Don't the tailors have any stock?"

Zhao Lan's face turned pale. If she couldn't buy linen, she might not be the wife of the head of the house for long.

"All the small ones have gone. Without exception, all the shopkeepers said they were sold out. At this time, they didn't dare to deliberately raise the price of the goods, but..."

Halfway through the manager's speech, he looked up at the masters with some hesitation. Zhao Lan was furious, and immediately slapped the table and growled: "But what? Say it!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The steward was taken aback, and quickly said: "I heard that the reason why there is no linen in the imperial city is because the Murong family has been buying a lot during this time. According to them, they want to make clothes from the linen and donate them to the disaster area. The common people, and less than an hour after the imperial decree was issued, the Murong family began to set up stalls in the outer city, distributing ready-made sackcloth to poor families with no money and no cloth. This move won high praise from the common people. Great House of Goodness."

Not only that, when he came back, he had already seen many purchasing managers from the mansion go to Murong's house to beg for cloth. He wanted to go too, but Murong's family is a merchant after all, if they set prices on the ground, the cloth would be expensive "It's strange that the second lady didn't expose him, so he wanted to come back and report first."

"What does the Murong family want to do? Take the opportunity to buy people's hearts and rebel?"

Zhao Lan was already so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, the old lady frowned almost imperceptibly, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Lan, be careful with your words!"

Regardless of whether the Murong family is true or false, it is an indisputable fact that they have become fragrant buns. If those words are spread, not only her, but even Shen Ruiqing's life will not be easy.

"Yes, mother, I was too impulsive."

After being reminded by him, Zhao Lan finally calmed down a bit, and the old lady turned her eyes away: "Since Murong's family has cloth, let's go to Murong's to buy it. It is nothing more than giving more money. The most important thing now is linen."

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, no matter how famous the Murong family is, they are just merchants, and their Hou Fu's willingness to take the initiative to send stewards to the door is already enough to give them face.

"This……"

"What is this, why don't you go soon?"

The steward hesitated a little, and Zhao Lan couldn't help burning with anger, so frightened that the steward repeatedly said yes, and even scrambled to leave the Nuan Pavilion. Seeing this, the old lady didn't bother to care about it, she closed her eyes and casually fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, However, to their surprise, after an hour, the steward came back empty-handed.

"What's going on here? Does the Murong family dare to offend my Hou family?"

This time, not only Zhao Lan, but also the old lady frowned. Seeing that it was Haishi, they hadn't bought the linen. If Shen Ruiting and the others couldn't wear the linen clothes tomorrow morning, the whole Hou Mansion might be ruined .

"No, no, old madam, second madam, there are too many people who have come to Murong's house to ask for help, and it's not our turn at all."

The signboard of the Hou Mansion is not really that effective, but the manager only dares to say this in his heart.

"Didn't you say that you are from the Tangling Marquis Mansion?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law frowned even tighter, and the steward replied with a sad face: "I said it, but they won't buy it."

People also said that none of the Fourth Prince's mansions were on board, let alone a small Marquis' mansion?

"Bold!"

Zhao Lan slapped the table and stood up staring: "A merchant's house, full of copper stink, doesn't pay attention to my Dongling Hou Mansion!"

Hearing this, the steward was also drunk, and quietly rolled his eyes when they couldn't see, Dong Linghou was not the emperor, so he really regarded himself as the most honorable person in the world.

"Old madam, second madam, Lord Hou sent someone to ask, is the filial piety ready?"

A second-class maid from Hexiangyuan came in a hurry. Hearing what she said, Zhao Lan almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. I haven't bought the cloth yet. Where can I get the filial piety?

"Let him report back to Lord Hou first, and say that he hasn't done it yet."

"Yes."

The old lady waved her hand, and after dismissing the maid, she thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "In this case, Zhao Lan, you should go to Murong's house yourself, what they want is probably not money, and we don't want to owe this favor in this extraordinary period." Gotta owe it."

"I……"

He is a majestic wife who goes to a merchant's house in the middle of the night for a few pieces of linen?

Zhao Lan's face turned black with anger, and the old lady sighed helplessly when she saw this: "Go, the most important thing is to buy the cloth now, and we will talk about the rest later."

"Yes!"

After enduring and enduring, Zhao Lan finally stood up reluctantly, no matter how humiliating she was, she had to go, who made her the head wife of the Hou Mansion?

At three o'clock in Haishi, return to the hospital

"My lord, Zhao Lan, the second roommate, went to Murong's house in person."

At the same time that Zhao Lan's carriage drove out of the Hou Mansion, Lei Zhen also reported the news to Shen Liang.

"Hehe... They must be very angry, right? This Zhao Lan seems to be smarter than Lu Yang, but she claims to be the daughter of a high-ranking family, and now she has the airs of Mrs. Hou, carrying such a big Going to Murong Mansion in a fit of anger, I think I will have to spend a lot of time in Murong Mansion, what to do with Lei Zhen, I kind of want to go and see for myself."

The Murong family won't show any shame after getting his order, and the scene will definitely be very exciting. They stared at Lei Zhen with deep coolness until his scalp became numb, and said in an unnatural way: "Also, let's say goodbye, my lord." , The night is dark and windy, what if you catch a cold? If you want to know, I will find two people to learn for you tomorrow."

There was a master who liked to join in the fun at the booth, and it was hard for him.

"How can you learn real-life performances? Lei Zhen, your qinggong is very good, why don't you take me to fly?"

Shen Liang, who was just talking about it at first, really got a little excited, and stood up eagerly.

"Don't, don't, lord, my qinggong is actually not that good."

Please don't make trouble, old man!

Lei Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears, why didn't he think that the lord was so capable of tossing around before?

"Nonsense, I've already asked, your martial arts is the highest among the Netherworld Guards, and your lightness skills are definitely not far behind."

Shen Liang approached step by step, the smile on his face became more and more sinister, and he was vaguely similar to someone, Lei Zhen took two steps back and forced himself to bury himself: "My lord, you heard me wrong, my kung fu is really mediocre, The one with the best real kung fu is Xiao Yu, well, the news about the Fourth Prince’s Mansion is about to come back, I’ll go and have a look first, my lord, go to bed early.”

After the voice fell, Lei Zhen was no longer in the room.

"Ha ha……"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Shen Liang couldn't stand up straight with a smile, he never expected that the leader of their Netherworld Guards would be so funny.

"Liangliang, Brother Zhen is doing it for your own good. What's the use of that excitement?"

Qi Xuan, who had always had a good relationship with the Nether Dark Guard, and who had Lei Zhen personally taught martial arts recently, yawned and said.

"I know, it's about time, let's all go to bed."

"Okay, Liang Liang, you go to bed early too, don't worry about going out."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The master and servant argued a few more words before going back to their respective rooms, but Shen Liang was not sleepy, leaning against the window and looking in the direction of Moon City, tomorrow, it will be even more chaotic!
