Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 213
Best, don't raise the price of food right now!Otherwise, it will be more difficult.

As soon as shopkeeper Hao's words fell, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Yao Cunhui, with a faint sense of being obedient.

Yao Cunhui had no choice but to speak, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, everyone! Opportunities and risks coexist. This matter may not be a great opportunity for Yao's Mihang! With the strength of our family, we must do this well. , it's not impossible!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and the gloom and mist that shrouded their hearts suddenly dissipated a little.

"But you have to know that the object of cooperation this time is the government, not the business. The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. Who knows—"

Master Yao Er raised his eyebrows and closed his mouth, but everyone knew what he meant and couldn't help but fell silent again.

Whether it is the empress dowager, the emperor, the head of the household department or the military department, most of them hope to cooperate with the Yao family smoothly and transport the grain to the Western Regions smoothly.But as Master Yao Er said, little ghosts are hard to deal with, and there are many guys with chicken feathers as arrows in the yamen!

Shopkeeper Hao frowned even tighter, because he immediately thought of Bai Muyuan, and the Lu family who had a close relationship with Bai Muyuan.

But he didn't say anything at this time.Now that the big boss has not come back to preside over the overall situation, everyone is worried. The second young lady finally said something reassuring. He will not tear down her platform. When the big boss comes back, there are still many issues to ask for instructions and discuss!

Shopkeeper Hao couldn't help but cast a glance at Erdong's house.

"I don't know when Prince Li will be able to come back after going to the Sanmenxia area for disaster relief." Yao Cunhui said suddenly.

"Second Miss, what do you mean by this?"

Yao Cunhui said softly: "Prince Li is highly respected. If he personally presides over this matter, we can feel much more at ease."

Everyone was stunned, and they all clicked their tongues secretly, Xindao Second Miss, how dare you think!Prince Li has lived at home for seven or eight years, how could he be willing to get involved!
"It depends on human effort. The old man thinks that the second lady's proposal can be tried." Lin's accountant's eyes lit up.

If Prince Youli personally presided over this matter, with his character and identity, the Yao family would be much more relaxed.Although he has lived at home for many years, since he can go to Sanmenxia for disaster relief this time, why can't he preside over the court's grain collection?

People who have lived in the capital for a long time know that this old prince does not stick to common sense and is not particular about his actions, but he has a good heart and is extremely fair in his actions. Harmful.

It is said that many years ago, the eunuchs in charge of the palace blackmailed the princes and ministers who came to the palace to ask for an audience and offer gifts. Everyone was miserable, but no one dared to refuse.

The reason is very simple, if you are reluctant to bleed, when you ask for an interview at the palace gate, the queen mother is obviously free and insists that you are not free, so you can try to obstruct it, or deliberately slow down the time when you report, or insist on waiting when the queen mother is happy. Interrupting her announcement of interest, and making her angry, he pushed the ministers on the head.This is not bad, and what's more, when the Queen Mother issued an order to submit the charter, the eunuch dared to insist that "I have not received it!" Something, the queen mother became angry, and the courtiers could not stand it.

Prince Li had also been extorted like this back then.

At first, once or twice, Prince Li endured it.Later, it was unbearable, and during a certain festival, two dishes were required to be offered in the palace as usual, and the Prince of Li did not need the eunuchs to deliver them, and he carried the food box and handed it in front of the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was taken aback, and asked why?

Why let the dignified prince do the work of such a servant?Moreover, the annual regulations do not require the prince to personally enter the palace to make offerings, but only need to send someone from the palace to hand over to the eunuch in charge of the palace.

When Prince Li heard the Queen Mother's question, he was not ambiguous, and said in front of the Queen Mother and all the court ladies and eunuchs: "I don't have money to trouble you, so I have to do it myself!"

The queen mother was furious when she heard the words, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation, killing a large number of deceitful slaves, and everyone in the whole palace was trembling with fear. The prince is even more respectful.

Of course, if this matter hadn't come from the mouth of Prince Li, the queen mother might not believe it, even if she believed it, she might not have such a thunderous method, and she might even vent her anger when she was annoyed.

It is said that when the Empress Dowager was a lowly beauty in the palace, she suffered from the heat and cold of people. Prince Li once gave charcoal in a timely manner and saved the Empress Dowager's life twice.After the Empress Dowager took power, the Lu family rose rapidly, while the Zhou family's descendants and relatives were severely and ruthlessly suppressed. Prince Li also had to withdraw from the court and became an idle clan.

Even so, he is the only surviving fruit of Zhou's royal uncles and the only remaining prince. Although the Queen Mother is very careful about him, she still respects him. Only his words can be listened to a little bit. In other words, the annual rewards are endless, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and rare curios are sent to the Prince Li's mansion in an endless stream. Even the most powerful patriarch of the Lu family pays respects to the Prince Li in a respectful manner, not daring to be slighted or neglected in the slightest. provocative.

This time, the collection of food for the Western Expedition Army is to protect the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to Yao Cunhui's thinking, as a member of the royal family, Prince Li must have a good view of the overall situation.This was just a temporary errand, the grain requisition work was completed, and his errand came to an end, so the Queen Mother would not be too apprehensive.

"This is just my personal idea. Let's worry about it when Dad comes back! Now, if we have anything to prepare in advance, please elders and uncles arrange it." Yao Cunhui said again.

After everyone thought about it, Shopkeeper Hao took the lead to discuss a few more issues, such as how to transfer the food, how to replenish it later, how to free up manpower to carry out the matter, liaison with the government, liaison with colleagues, etc., and then dispersed for the time being. Get ready, wait for Master Yao to come back and let him make up his mind.

In the partition hall of Tangli Courtyard, Yao Cunhui was sitting on the guest seat, talking with Mrs. Mao.

"It's because of you, and you're spending money again!" Mao said with a smile.She is in good health, and has never stopped eating various nourishing herbs after the miscarriage. After recuperating for nearly a month, her face is radiant and full of energy, without any signs of weakness or paleness.

At this time, she was leaning on the long couch, wearing a loose crimson grape-patterned hangluo shirt, with no sideburns, but gathered together and scattered behind her back, with a silver-blue forehead wiped on her forehead. There is a ruby ​​in the middle of the forehead facing the eyebrows, lazy and rich.

"Second Aunt is being polite. I haven't seen Second Aunt for a while. I didn't expect Second Aunt to recover so well. She doesn't look like she had aborted a child at all." Yao Cunhui smiled.

Today she brought a pack of high-quality blood bird's nest to Mao's, and made up her mind to have a showdown with her and completely restrain her.

Mi Xingzhong is already busy preparing for the food requisition. If Mao's words and tongues continue to provoke him, no one knows what the second uncle with a grudge will do.After all, he is his father's brother and his own uncle, if he insists on doing something, even his father can't force him.

There is also a Bai Muyuan who is staring at him outside, and the Lu family who is hiding in the dark. The Yao family must not be chaotic.

It is inconvenient for my father to intervene in the affairs of the backyard. Since there is evidence in hand, Yao Cunhui doesn't mind using it.

What Yao Cunhui said was a bit out of place, Mao was taken aback, his face changed slightly, he took a deep look at Yao Cunhui, and said with a smile: "Isn't it thanks to the care of my sister-in-law that I recovered so well!"

"Family, Second Aunt is being polite!" Yao Cunhui smiled and said, "Let me check Second Aunt's pulse again, Second Aunt seems to be looking a little unhappy."

Mao's chest was slightly suffocated, and he suddenly felt a little out of breath. He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said, "Lao Hui'er is here!"

"Don't dare to do it!" Yao Cunhui smiled, stepped forward and sat beside Mao, and gently caught the pulse on her wrist with two fingers.

The cool touch was transmitted to the skin through the fingertips, and spread throughout the whole body like lightning. Mao Shi suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his heart was cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

Yao Cunhui frowned, her face was full of thought, she tilted her head slightly and looked ahead in a daze, as if she had encountered something that puzzled her.

"Is there something wrong?" Mao felt a little uneasy.

Yao Cunhui didn't answer her immediately, but glanced at Su's mother and Alan who were serving on the side.

"You all go out!" Mao's face darkened, and he waved his hands.

Su's mother and Alan bowed their heads and retreated. Su's mother was worried and guarded the door herself.

"Hui'er, what am I doing wrong?" Mao asked hastily.

Yao Cunhui stared at her and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with the body, but there is something wrong with the heart."

"What do you mean?"

"Second Aunt knows it well. There are some things that are not as Second Aunt said. Second Aunt is born with a delicate heart, good at plotting, easy to calculate! It is worthy of admiration!"

"Amusing me?" Mao sneered, withdrew his hand suddenly, and said coldly: "The door is over there, please, don't send it away!"

"The truth about my second aunt's miscarriage is not as it was said, am I right?" Yao Cunhui said coldly.

"Nonsense!" Mao's face was pale, his body could not help but tremble slightly, his hands were clenched tightly, and he stared at Yao Cunhui, "Don't spit blood."

"I don't know how Second Aunt knew about it," Yao Cunhui said quietly, "Second Aunt found out that she was pregnant with a stillbirth, so she naturally wanted to use it to do something beneficial to herself. Aunt Su is really wronged! I don't know what Second Uncle said. Knowing this, what do you think in your heart! Of course, Second Uncle may not take it to heart for a mere aunt, but Second Aunt lied to and used Second Uncle for such a big matter, so Second Uncle must feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Bloody mouth, you bloody mouth!" Mao felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and his eyes were wide open, staring at Yao Cunhui, with unconcealable flickering and panic in his eyes.
