Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 35
Ye Juelu, who has always been taciturn, eloquently talked about Lanying, more words than the sum of the memorials he wrote in the past twenty years, with gorgeous rhetoric, and talked eloquently and without repetition for a cup of tea. .

Ming Lanying secretly pinched him, telling him to stop in moderation, this small gesture naturally did not escape the eyes of the emperor.

Defu made another cup of tea for the emperor, and the steaming heat blurred the emperor's complicated eyes, "...Your husband and wife have a deep love for each other, and I already know it. Since Mrs. Ye is so capable, I happen to have a tricky thing here. If you do well, I will reward you heavily, and if you don’t do well, I won’t blame you, do you dare to accept it?”

Ming Lanying quietly glanced at Ye Juelu, Ye Juelu mouthed silently, "It's up to you."

Ming Lanying was relieved, knelt down again and bowed her head to directly refuse, "Go back to the emperor, my wife dare not."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Juelu, Ye Juelu turned his eyes to the people around him, obviously meaning to listen to her.

The emperor glared, "Don't you want to share my worries for me!" '

Ye Juelu raised his eyebrows innocently, "I don't understand these things, I listen to my wife." '

The emperor snorted coldly. The corruption case that year had set a lot of obstacles on his way to the throne. Even though he is now sitting on the throne, there is still a knot in his heart that haunts him.He wanted to wash away this stain, but he had secretly searched for many talented people, but no one could find the loophole, so he gave up.Now it happens that Ming Lanying can check the accounts, and he is just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, to test the depth.

"You get up and speak, why don't you dare?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Today is the most kneeling time in her two lifetimes combined. The floor tiles in the imperial study room are colder than she imagined. Kneeling once when we meet each other is too much for me. Ye Juelu supported her tenderly. arm, Ming Lanying said submissively with lowered eyebrows.

"If you go back to the emperor, although the minister's wife has some ability to read accounts, it is still difficult to be elegant. Things that can make the emperor find it difficult must be a major issue in the court. How can such an important matter be given to a little girl like my minister's wife?" Do it! My wife has self-knowledge, although my wife can help the prefect manage the books, but her ability is limited there, she can only look at things that are trivial, please forgive me."

"I just let you look at the account books of a petty profit, and it's not a big deal. Since you can even read the old bad accounts accumulated by the prefect of the frontier fortress, then this old account of mine is nothing more than a piece of cake for you, isn't it? Say...you don't want to do things for me?"

"I don't dare, it's because my wife can't do what I want, it's really hard for me to take on such a big job. There are many capable people and good generals around the emperor who are better than my wife, but they can't share the worries of the emperor. My wife really doesn't have the ability, my lord." ! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Ming Lanying refused righteously, and what she said was well-founded. The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "You are honest, but I will not blame you if you don't do it well. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. I believe that the person who can make Ye Juelu full of praise must not be mediocre, so let's settle this matter!"

Ming Lanying is speechless, if you have settled down so directly, then why are you asking a fart!

"emperor……"

"Hey, needless to say, I believe Ye Juelu, the person who can make him full of praise must not be mediocre."

Ming Lanying: "..." Angrily and speechlessly, she stared at Ye Juelu, this pig teammate, he didn't say anything when he was still talking, why did he just say a bunch of nonsense!
The emperor took a sip of his tea and sighed, "Speaking of which, Ye Juelu made me unhappy when he first came to Beijing, and I put him in the prison in a fit of anger. It was Song Shanshan from the Song family who came to me to intercede for him. Do you know about this?"

"My wife doesn't know, but my wife has heard about it for a long time. Miss Song has a deep affection for Xianggong, which makes my wife feel ashamed." Of course Ming Lanying knew, and she also knew that the emperor wanted to give Song Shanshan to him as his wife.

Seeing her unsurprised expression, Ye Juelu understood that she already knew. Fortunately, he still wanted to hide it for a while, so he specially rushed to give Fan Yue a whip, in case she would think too much after knowing it, and forget that she could. Let the little animal send her a letter, and it is estimated that as soon as the emperor issued an order, she would know it.

Failed.

Seeing the grievance on Ye Juelu's face, the emperor was in a good mood, "I was also moved by her affection, and I don't want to disappoint her infatuation. I decree that Song Shanshan will be Ye Juelu's equal wife, and be your sister, how about it? "

Before Ming Lanying opened his mouth, Ye Juelu answered first, "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness, but I have no blessing to accept it. I only love Lanying in this life. Please take it back."

The emperor waved his hand in disgust, motioning him to step aside, "I want to listen to her, why are you so anxious?"

"It's a matter of life for me, so of course I'm in a hurry!"

The emperor sneered, Ye Juelu's anxious look was compared to Ming Lanying's calm and composed face, in his opinion, Ye Juelu rushed to Ming Lanying's side, looking worthless.

Ming Lanying knew that he had no intentions for Song Shanshan, not to mention that Song Shanshan had evil intentions, she would not take this risk to lure wolves into the house, so she lightly patted Ye Juelu's arm, took a step behind Ye Juelu, and leaned slightly towards the emperor.

"Back to the emperor, my wife doesn't want to be sisters with Miss Song. My wife is just a little girl and doesn't have such a big heart. My wife just wants to monopolize my husband. Besides, the mouths in the family are all raised by my husband. There is really no need. Money and food are raising a mouth."

"Who is a man who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, not to mention Ye Juelu is still the commander of my imperial guards, how can you be the only one in the backyard?" Ming Lanying kept her eyebrows down, not seeing the emperor's wicked smile , "It's just money and food. I will give him a thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold. Is it enough to support hundreds of people?"

Ye Juelu looked directly at the emperor, a little speechless towards this stubborn brother.

The clean and translucent marble tiles reflected Ming Lanying's vague figure, she stated the facts expressionlessly, "Miss Song is infatuated with her husband, she is a good girl, as far as my wife knows, there are a lot of young talents in the capital Jun is so sought after by the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the little son of Dong's mansion, who has been infatuated with her for many years. She is worthy of being the wife of other people, and she is really not willing to commit herself to being a concubine for the husband. The emperor is kind, please forgive me. The wife and the husband can't bear it crime."

This wife with more eyes than briquettes should be kept to harm others. Let her be Ye Juelu's flat wife, and Ye Juelu will be implicated by her, not to mention that she doesn't like Ning'er. I don't know if I bring it in the door. What does it look like like a chicken flying like a dog jumping around.

Ye Juelu heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he made it clear to her before, otherwise today's matter would be really stupid and he couldn't explain it clearly.

The emperor leaned on the back of the chair, propping his crooked head on one arm, "You husband and wife really don't like oil and salt."

The emperor's voice suddenly became flat, Ming Lanying couldn't hear his anger for a while, but Ye Juelu relaxed a little, he was quite familiar with the emperor's reaction, the boredom after losing the fun.

Ye Juelu bowed and cupped his hands, "Go back to the emperor, the matter has been arranged, so I will take my wife and leave."

"Go away, Defu, send them out, and give Ye Shi the token to enter and exit the East Palace." The emperor lazily raised his feet, picked up a memorial to read, and said to Ming Lanying casually: "Ye Shi, Zhen There is no limit on your time limit, it’s best if you can figure it out, if you can’t, I don’t blame you, it’s just that Ye Juelu resigned from his post, so you can leave when. I know you are in the frontier like a fish in water, so I will keep you for a while Playing in the capital, left and right Ye Juelu is working in the capital, it is not good for you to leave him here alone, you go back to the frontier and enjoy it."

"My wife, obey the order."

Ming Lanying couldn't help scolding her in her heart, the emperor really knew about their situation in the frontier, even she knew that she didn't want to stay in the capital, and now he threatened her with old debts, and said it so nicely, it really is evil Sovereign rights!

Defu respectfully sent the two of them out of the palace, and gave Ming Lanying a turquoise brocade sachet. After getting into the carriage, Ming Lanying opened it and saw that it was a half-palm-sized gold-and-silver token with the words "Eastern Palace" engraved on the front. On the back is engraved with a smooth pattern of beautiful mountains and rivers.

Ming Lanying felt cold and heavy in her hands, heavier than the account books in the warehouse in the frontier fortress.

The carriage wobbled back to the residence, Ye Juelu was driving the carriage when it came, and it was him when he returned, the carriage entered through the side door, Ming Lanying stretched her waist as soon as she jumped off, her back joints creaked.

"Ye Juelu, after lunch, go to the study and explain to me about the account books. I'll go change my clothes first."

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Ye Juelu couldn't bear it, "You don't have to worry so much, it's all in the past, and the emperor doesn't care much about the result."

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "We have to stay here with you whether we do good or bad, I might as well blackmail him, since I can't escape, I might as well maximize the enjoyment, at least I won't feel too bad .”

Ye Juelu suddenly smiled, he believed that with her, the truth behind this old account would soon be revealed to the world.

Ming Lanying saw servants all the way, only near her yard, presumably she was sent away by Ning'er's orders.Returning to the yard in a short step, Xuelang smelled her smell in the house and hurriedly opened the door and got out. Ning'er found out and followed.

As soon as Ming Lanying opened the door, two little guys rushed into her arms, "Master, master, master! Aww!"

"Mother, you're finally back! Aunt Hebai is back too, eating in the dining room."

Ming Lanying rubbed the two little guys, "Okay, mother knows, mother changes clothes, let's go to lunch first."

"Ok!"

When Ming Lanying changed into light clothes, took Ning Er's hand and took the wolf cub to the dining hall, all the servants in the mansion had already returned to the servant's yard, and only their family was there in the empty mansion. Wolf cubs are more at ease.

In the dining hall, He Bai was talking to Ye Juelu one-sidedly, Ming Lanying brought Ning'er and the wolf cub to the back, He Bai stood up suddenly, stepped forward to face Ning'er and the wolf cub After a pause, he hugged Ming Lanying again.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! I haven't seen you for several days, do you want me to miss you? I miss you, I miss you, I haven't eaten well in the past two days, I heard that you will cook for Tang Ning tomorrow, I I want to eat roasted whole lamb, pork belly, braised pork ribs! Hehehe..."

Ming Lanying pulled her off in disgust, "I think you've lost your mind after playing these two days, and you know how to come back?"

"Hey hey - I went to compete with the imperial guards under my brother, let me tell you, sister-in-law, none of the current imperial guards can fight! The quality is much worse than that of my brother before..."

Hebai chattered endlessly to share her achievements in the past two days, and Ye Juelu was full of eyes to seize the opportunity to pick up vegetables and make soup for Ming Lanying. It was too fast, Ning'er and the wolf cub couldn't hear clearly, and everyone was listening from the left ear to the right ear.

After Hebai drank a sip of tea dryly, he realized that none of them responded, and patted the table dissatisfied, "I'm speaking so seriously, it's useless for you to react at all! It's too much, I There's going to be trouble!"

Ye Juelu glanced at her coldly, "Don't talk about food, what about your rules?"

Ming Lanying just finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Seeing that you are so energetic, I just have something to ask you."

He Bai regained his energy immediately, "Sister-in-law, tell me! I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Do you know Ming Jiazhen?"

"Ming Jiazhen?" He Bai frowned and thought, then suddenly clapped his hands, "I know! I can always hear about her in the teahouse these two days. It seems that she is a remarkable person. It is said that she is the number one in the capital. Talented girl, do you know sister-in-law?"

"I don't know her, but someone told us to be careful of her, what have you heard?"

He Bai counted his fingers and said one by one, "What is the most talented woman in the capital, who is so beautiful in the country, who dances to the world, who is gentle and kind, anyway, what I heard is that she is very good. Well, boasting like a fairy, sounds like a very good person?"

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "I don't have any impression of her, but she is from the Ming family, and there is no one good in the Ming family. It is very abnormal to have such a good reputation outside."

"What?! The Ming family!" He Bai hurriedly poohed three times, "I thought there was a really talented woman in the capital, but I didn't expect it to be another bad woman from the Ming family, and I was almost deceived by the rumors. Pooh!"

Ye Juelu casually took two mouthfuls and then put down his chopsticks. His appetite was soured. Except for the rice cooked by Ming Lanying, he couldn't eat any more. He took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Since you want to be on guard, then if you know yourself and your enemy, Hebai will go find out the news."

He Bai subconsciously obeyed the order, but suddenly thought that she had asked Fan Yue to fight again, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother, I have to compete with Fan Yue later..."

Ming Lanying looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you beat all the imperial guards, and you haven't beaten enough?"

Hebai curled his lips, "My brother is in charge of the imperial guards. Now there is no one who can fight, and the fight is not smooth. Fan Yue is a bit interesting. After all, he used to be under my brother's hands. He can fight me twice. Come and go is the only way to learn, otherwise the capital would be too boring."

Ming Lanying sneered, "Then you'll be bored in the future, why don't you resign so we can go back to the frontier."

"why?!"

He Bai was shocked, she thought her brother was right, but she couldn't do it if she was to stay with him in the capital, she preferred the unfettered frontier.

The family left the dining hall after eating and drinking, Ming Lanying asked Ning'er to take the wolf cubs for a walk to digest food and then go back to the house to write, and the three adults went to the study to discuss matters.

"The emperor's order, it's too lonely for your brother to work in the capital alone."

He Bai was really going to make a fuss, "I don't want it, my brother is already that big, he doesn't need to accompany him, sister-in-law has nothing else to do, let's go back to the frontier, I miss winter and summer!"

Ming Lanying covered her mouth before she was about to make a fuss, "But there is another way we can leave your brother behind and go back."

Ye Juelu: "..." He guessed what it was.

Hebai's eyes lit up, "What is it?"

"The emperor asked me to check the old accounts. As long as the check is good and he has a reward, we can go back to the frontier early."

He Bai was taken aback, then turned his head to look at Ye Juelu in a daze, "Old debt...couldn't be the one I thought..."

Ye Juelu nodded, "The emperor will definitely not be able to hide the old accounts if he wants to investigate them. There will definitely be troubles at that time. After the investigation, there will be a bloody storm, and there will be another big change in the court. I have to stay in the capital to protect him." For the safety of the emperor, I order you to always be by your sister-in-law and Ning'er's side during this time."

He Bai looked solemn, and patted his chest, "Brother, don't worry, my sister-in-law's safety is my safety, and I will protect my sister-in-law to return to the frontier fortress."

Ye Juelu was speechless, and glared at Hebai, "Is that why you want to go back to the frontier?"

Can't you give him more time with Ming Lanying!Originally there were a lot of things to do, and it was sneaking off to spend some time with Ming Lanying, and He Bai was still looking forward to returning to the frontier fortress, wouldn't this interfere with Ming Lanying's speed of checking accounts!
He Baili nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, the capital city is not fun. A single leaf falling from a tree can hit the emperor's relatives. You can't mess with those who can't be messed with. It's boring."

Ye Juelu didn't want to pay attention to this silly sister, so he drove He Bai away tiredly, "Go and find out about Ming Jiazhen, and come back after asking for more details."

"Oh."

He Bai opened the window and left, Ming Lanying glanced at the bright sky outside, and asked, "Why does He Bai walk through the window of his study in broad daylight?"

"...Let's go."

"Okay, the next thing is about the old account, you tell me everything you know."

Ming Lanying spread out the rice paper, writing with plain hands, the bright sunlight was divided into several rays through the window lattice, half of it sprinkled on the desk, and half of it was hidden in her star pupils.Gu Panshenghui's eyes stared at Ye Juelu, his serious and focused eyes made Ye Juelu's heart tremble, and his ears couldn't help but feel a little hot, just wanting to give her his heart.

"it is good."
