After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

"Concubine Li, why are you looking for me?"

Chu Yun choked and realized that Yan Ming was really separated from her. He had never called her like this before!

It was all caused by that bitch Ke Yiqing.

She comforted herself and said: It doesn't matter, Yan Ming must still love her the most in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have found a substitute who looked so similar to her.

After thinking about it this way, she felt a lot more confident.

Chu Yun poured the tea herself, "Yanlang, do you still remember what you said to me by the river?"

"I remember."

At that time, she had just received the imperial decree to enter the palace and become a concubine. Both of them were devastated and even thought about jumping into a river together to die in love. In the end, she took Yan Ming and swore an oath by the river.

"I said back then that the only person I will never betray in this life is you."

Yan Ming stiffened and replied, "Me too."

Having said that, Chu Yun still did not reply directly to her about the food shipped back from Jingnan a while ago.

In fact, he had already found out the result, but he just didn't want to believe it. He came here today just to ask.

As long as Chu Yun said that he had never done it, the matter would be over for him.

It's just that instead of talking about things now, we talk about what we swore before.
In fact, Chu Yun cannot be blamed for this matter. According to the past, she always talked about the past friendship like this, reminding him that she entered the palace because of him, and suffered a lot of sins in the palace.

Things often end in this way.

But Yan Ming has been going to Ke Yiqing a lot recently, and has long been accustomed to her way of distinguishing between public and private affairs, so naturally she feels particularly uncomfortable at this time.

He asked tentatively: "So, you really didn't interfere with the food issue?"

Chu Yun almost couldn't keep the smile on her face. She kept telling them the past of the two of them. Isn't that enough?

In the end, the two broke up unhappy.

Ke Yiqing didn't know whether Chu Yun slept well last night, but she always slept soundly.

Yu Jin came to call for help again with dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help complaining when she saw her wife's face glowing red.

"Madam, you have such a big heart."

"Things have already happened. You can't be so worried that you don't eat or sleep, right?"

"Didn't you say you couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant?"

She nodded calmly. Even now, she still couldn't figure it out.

"I can't think of it for now. Didn't I ask Master Shi to deliver a letter a few days ago? Where is the letter?"

This Mr. Shi was a relative of Chen Erlang. Chen's mother's younger sister married this Mr. Shi. It is said that he was still married at that time. Mr. Shi was still a poor scholar and his family had neither real estate nor land. It can be said that he was a poor scholar. Extremely poor.

Without his wife's generous financial support, Mr. Shi would be a poor tenant farmer now.

Master Shi attached himself to a noble family after passing the imperial examination, and he could only be regarded as quite decent in the court. However, a while ago, Chen Erlang followed Ke Yiqing's suggestion and donated grain and seeds to the Holy Emperor, which was what Master Shi was asked to write.

Now it's good, a mediocre little official actually presented such a good grain, which is drought- and cold-resistant Champa rice. If it is popularized, Daqi will have a lot more fields that can be cultivated.

Land property is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the court is happy about it.

The Holy Lord Longyan Dayue immediately made an exception and promoted Lord Shi to a fourth-rank official. He immediately completed a three-level promotion and became a famous and influential person from then on.

And Chen Erlang was even awarded a gold medal for immunity from death by the Holy Emperor. In addition, merchants of the Chen family were exempted from half of the taxes if they did business in Daqi.

It can be considered an extremely generous reward.

Since then, Chen Erlang has become more convinced of Ke Yiqing, and Master Shi has become more dependent on the Chen family.

It's the best of both worlds.

This letter was handed over by Li Wei entrusting Mr. Shi.

The letter said that everything was fine in Deji Hall now, and all the rats in the grain depot had been cleaned up. In addition to placing rodent repellent drugs, many cats were raised around the grain depot, but they were no longer afraid.

This matter does not have any impact. What is really annoying is the employment of short-term workers.Fortunately, Li Wei has been managing the shop for so long and is quite good at it, but this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Ke Yiqing thought for a moment and then wrote a reply.

The first batch of children working in the shop had a good response from others. In that case, why not recruit these children to work in the shop?
If you pay more attention, you might be able to pick some good ones to continue training. If it is a material for studying, she is not short of money for people to continue studying.

Yu Jin sighed when he saw her: "It's hard to find another good boss like Madam in the world."

"Then I will be nice to people who are worthy. If they are stupid and bad, I won't bother to deal with them."

"Yes, yes, dear madam, did you drink the anti-fetal medicine sent from the Queen's Palace while it was still hot?"

Ke Yiqing paused his hand, that's all, just drink it.

"Why do I feel weird when I drink this medicine?"

In addition to the usual bitterness, it seems that there is something different inside?

"Perhaps the imperial physician in the palace uses different medicines than Miss Xie?"

She nodded, yes, her small market courtyard was naturally not as expensive as the palace's food and clothing, and the medicinal materials were all expensive, so it was normal for the taste to be slightly different.

Out of caution, she asked Yu Jin to wrap the medicine dregs and stack them together in an envelope. Xie Li would probably check it for her after receiving it.

"Is there anything going on with the Queen Mother today?"

"Apart from normal chanting of Buddhist scriptures, there is nothing else."

He didn't leave the yard, and no one in particular came in.

She didn't have much clue, so she stopped wondering, "The New Year's Eve will be here in a few days, but I don't know whether we will have an inner banquet or an outer court banquet."

Logically speaking, as a royal wife with a salary from the imperial court, even if she went to the palace to have a banquet, it would be a banquet from the outer court. However, she was still pregnant with such a baby, and with the Queen Mother's tough attitude, she really took it for a while. Not allowed.

"What Madam means is that we cannot go there empty-handed."

"good."

Whether it is an inner banquet or an outer court banquet, you have to eat with the Holy One. It would be strange not to bring something to express your gratitude.

Ke Yiqing is also worried about this matter. She now smells like copper, and there is nothing but money in her body. She is really a common person.

It was fine in Jade Belt Lane, but as soon as he entered the palace, he seemed out of place.

Even if you don't like it, dignitaries and dignitaries have to be arty to show that they are different.

What should she do?What gift should I choose to give?

"Do you have any ideas?"

Yu Jin shook his head, "In my opinion, Madam doesn't need to worry about this at all."

"Why?"

"Madam is favored by the Queen Mother because she is a businessman, so just keep it as she is. What if everyone laughs at her a little? You didn't come to the palace to cling to the powerful."

Ke Yiqing suddenly understood, yes, why should she bother with all this? She just needs to pick something that is neither wrong nor outstanding.

The Queen Mother sent some thousand-year-old ginseng. Although this thing was rare, it was not something that the rich could not buy. As a gift to the Holy Emperor, she bought an embroidered picture of Jiangshan Sheji and said some auspicious words.

As for the Queen, since she was asked to give her a pregnancy, it would probably be unreasonable not to send her something, so she would choose some beautiful jade jewelry and send it to her.

After formulating these, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After practicing with Li Wei for so many days, you will have more and more ideas."

"If Madam, you can trust me, how about you leave this matter to me?"

"Why, do you have any special connections?"

Yu Jin smiled mysteriously. She had been doing business with Li Wei for so many days, and she had indeed met many people.

There are still three chapters to come, don’t worry.
