Chapter 414 Fifth Aunt's Kindness

Er Lian didn't know about her parents-in-law's move to the city, and she didn't care how the two of them lived in the countryside, so naturally she didn't inquire about her parents-in-law's current situation, and she just lived like this day by day.

At Si Lian's place, the people who were staring at Guan Zhu were withdrawn, but they still sent people to inquire about his current situation from time to time, fearing that after he recovered from his injuries, he would find Er Lian's trouble after thinking about it. After recuperating from his injuries, he still lives in that Shuanghua Alley, rarely going out every day, and only occasionally invites a few cronies to a restaurant for a drink, which is very generous.

Si Lian was very puzzled when she heard this,

"Guan Zhu is not working now, where does his money come from?"

It can't be that Su Niang is still doing half-closed business while pregnant, right?
If you want to talk about Su Niang's old roots, the money spent in the front yamen is about the same, right?

That's 400 taels of silver, and it will take many years for merchants to earn 400 taels of silver!

Si Lian couldn't figure it out, after thinking about it, she ordered Humanity to say,

"You go to watch him at night and see what he's doing?"

Guan Zhu wouldn't take risks for the sake of money, would he do stealing?
Silian is really curious!
He also said that Mou Biao returned home early that day, and when he came in, he said to Si Lian with a serious expression,

"His Royal Highness is afraid that something will happen to him!"

Si Lian was shocked when she heard this,
"what happened?"

"The Crown Prince is finally involved in the case of Concubine Li Gui!"

It turns out that Concubine Li Gui has been in a daze since she went mad, muttering to herself, unable to ask questions at all, so she has been imprisoned in the palace, guarded by His Majesty's trusted eunuchs, and outsiders are not allowed to meet her, after that Concubine Li Gui passed by After the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician in the palace, he gradually regained consciousness and was able to speak.

"Yesterday... His Majesty interrogated Concubine Li Gui..."

Mou Biao said,
"Your Majesty summoned father to the palace for jury... Concubine Li Gui knew that her end was going to be difficult, but she didn't need your Majesty to ask any more questions, she did it all herself..."

Concubine Li Guifei bluntly said that an old nun in Lingyi Palace taught her the method of witchcraft, she only said that wearing the armor every day and talking to the queen more often would make the queen lose her mind. Obedience to the caster's words, even if the effect is not achieved, can still make the queen go crazy and lose the throne of the mother of a country.

"Old mother? Who is that old mother?"

"Father took His Majesty's order to arrest him at that time, but when he went, the old mother had already hanged herself in the house for a long time, so I called the people in the palace to ask, and some people said that they saw a young eunuch who went to the house not long ago. In the old mother's room, father asked people to check the whereabouts of the little eunuch, but they found it in the East Palace. The little eunuch was from the East Palace, but he also died. When it reached the head, it died on the spot..."

Such a way of death, with a discerning eye, is a suspicion of murder!

It is not a joint trial of the three divisions for the king to decide a case. He needs to obtain all the witnesses and material evidence. As long as Emperor Hongzhi becomes suspicious, the crown prince will be in trouble!
Finally Mou Biao said to Silian,

"I'm afraid I'll be even more busy these days. I'll report to the elders today, and we'll move to Mao'er Hutong tomorrow..."

"it is good!"

Silian nodded and couldn't help worrying,
"What if Your Majesty asks you to investigate the Crown Prince?"

When it comes to the royal family, no matter who handles this case, they must act with their heads up!
Mu Biao gave a wry smile,
"Don't be afraid, your majesty and the crown prince have not broken their faces. Your majesty wants to abolish the crown prince, but it doesn't mean that the crown prince will be abolished immediately. This is the ancestor's rule if the prince is abolished. None of the Zhongbai officials would agree, and now that the time is not up, at most I will take this opportunity to kill the prince's minions and let him stay in peace!"

The Fifth Prince hasn't grown up yet!
Didn't the abolition of the crown prince give the second and third princes a chance at this time?
Silian reminded,

"Then...you still have to be careful!"

Mu Biao nodded,

"I will be careful!"

So that night, Mou Biao really mentioned to Mou Bin that the young couple would move to Maoer Hutong. Mou Bin nodded,
"You are busy with official duties, so it's not a problem to live in the Yamen every day. It's also good to let your daughter-in-law follow you to take care of you!"

He nodded in agreement, naturally Liu would not say anything, Wu Yiniang was very happy for the young couple, so she came over that night and gave 1000 taels of silver to Silian,
"It's not like living at home when you go out to live. They ask for money everywhere. This is my private house money. You can use it as much as you want, and you can't treat yourself badly!"

Si Lian smiled and declined,
"Auntie doesn't need your money, I have saved Baye's monthly salary and haven't used it!"

They live at home, and their food and clothing are all from the family. Only the servants below them spend their own money to support them. But now let alone the money that Mou Biao got back in private, it is his salary of a thousand households to support these five people. The yard is more than enough for anyone!

Fifth Aunt said,
"Your days are long, you can't have one flower and one, you should save it for your children in the future. I usually go out for business at home, and the master also makes up for it in private. I don't need it at all. Auntie is just a flesh and blood like Master Ba, this money will belong to you from now on, and it will be useful for you at this time, and I will give it to you when I get old. !"

Although Wu Yiniang came from a humble background, she said what she said clearly. Mou Biao, who had just come out of the bath inside, came out with a smile when he saw the 1000 taels of silver note on the table, and took it with his hand, and said to Si Lian: ,
"It's what Auntie wants, we'll follow suit!"

Turning around, she said to Fifth Aunt,

"You are absolutely right, this money will be used when it should be used..."

asked her again,
"How much silver do you have there? It's useless for you to keep it anyway, why don't you give it all to your son!"

Wu Yiniang spat at him when she heard the words,
"Who said I would give it to you? I gave it to the young lady. This money is for your daily expenses, not for your luxury!"

When Mou Biao heard the words, he immediately called out to hit Tianqu,

"Auntie is so wronged! When did my son spend his days and nights? In front of Si Lian, you mustn't ruin my reputation..."

After a pause,

"Son, I'm not only working in the yamen, but I'm also doing business now. I made a small fortune a while ago. If my aunt can trust my son, why don't you give your private money to my son, and my son's business can be turned over for you after a trip." Come back to the book!"

Fifth Yiniang only took him for a joke, gave him a blank look and said,

"What kind of serious business can make money after a trip, you kid can talk nonsense now!"

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"My son is not talking nonsense. The money he earns is still on the way to Beijing. Once the money is in hand, I will buy flowers for my aunt!"

Fifth Aunt still didn't believe it.
"Listen to your nonsense!"

He got up and said,
"It's getting late, you still have to pack your things, I won't bother you here, I have to go back to serve the master!"

Silian sent Wu Yiniang out, Wu Yiniang turned around and held her hand,
"Good boy, it's really rare to be able to go out and live. You and Master Ba have a good time..."

After that, he glanced at her stomach again,
"You have been silent for so long, I think it's because Ba Ye is often not at home, you have to work hard when you go out..."

After all, he leaned over and whispered,

"This man can't help being seductive. The door is closed in the boudoir, so you can't dress modestly. Why don't you... I'll ask Jin Zhu to send you some scriptures tomorrow..."

Si Lian blushed, she dared not speak, Wu Yiniang didn't know that her son and daughter-in-law hadn't consummated their marriage yet, so she covered her mouth and smiled when she saw her blushing,
"Okay, you are thin-skinned, I won't tease you anymore!"

After saying that, she turned and left, Silian watched Wu Yiniang leave, she turned back to see Mou Biao who was reading official documents in the study, and Mou Biao gave her the 1000 taels of silver note,

"It's from my aunt, so you can keep it. When the money you earn comes back in a few days, you can buy her a few more jewelry..."

Silian asked curiously,
"The business is really profitable?"

Mou Biao looked up at her and smiled,
"Do you think I'm coaxing you? You really made money!"

After finishing speaking, he sighed,

"That kid Gu San is quite ignorant, but he still has a way of doing business..."

Although Gu San is a dude, he is really good at making friends. He got their letter of approval earlier, and immediately wrote a letter to the friend at the seaside, who was even more urgent than them. He replied and prepared at the same time. The goods, because it was the first time to test the water, did not prepare much, so there was no need for Mou Biao to come forward, only Wen Zifeng and Ni Dongchu had already settled the relationship, and the goods were transported to Tongzhou by water, but it was Before entering Beijing, I found the next house and sold all the goods at once.

"The first time I didn't earn much, each family's share was only 2000 taels of silver..."

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"It's enough to buy some jewelry and clothes for you and your aunt, but if this road is smooth, the money will come in like flowing water in the future..."

After thinking about it, I asked Si Lian,
"How much money can you earn from leasing the house in the inner city, or sell it, and change it to a shop, and use it to sell goods in the future?"

Silian thought for a while and said,

"Those goods from the seaside are really eye-catching. If we sell them ourselves, we are afraid that people will find them. It is better to transfer them to those big trading houses. Although the profit is less, it is better to be safe!"

Their family is not short of money, so there is no need to take this unnecessary risk!
Mou Biao thought for a while and nodded,
"Alright..."

then sighed,
"It's a pity that I'm tired of being an official. Otherwise, I might as well run this business by myself, so that I won't be split into [-]% of the profit!"

Silian laughed,

"If you are not an official, how can you do this business?"

It's hard to have both the fish and the bear's paw in this world, so don't be too greedy!
Mou Biao laughed,

"Ma'am said so!"

The young couple are in the study room, one is reading official documents, the other is reading, one is sitting at the table, the other is leaning on the couch, talking to each other. Looking up, she saw that Si Lian had already fallen asleep reclined on the couch, with the book still in her hand, laying flat on her chest.

Mou Biao went over to pick him up, walked carefully into the inner room, put him on the bed, took off his shoes and got on the bed, hugged his wife, and fell into a deep sleep.
