Chapter 193 The Emperor is the Big Winner (2)
As she said that, she squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Lao Xiangguo's right thumb. On his thumb was a crystal clear emerald finger. You went to your own home, otherwise, how can you afford to wear such a beautiful jadeite ring, which won’t sell for 3000 taels of silver when it’s on the market?”

When she was in the capital a few days ago, when she was helping the jade shop to draw the design drawings, she also paid a little attention to the price of jadeite. With her eyesight, which has been dealing with jewelry and jade all the year round in her previous life, she can naturally see the price of the jade in his hand at a glance. Wrench value.

"If the salary of a corvee is one or two taels of silver per month, the old man can make three thousand corvees live for a month with just one finger. And three thousand corvees can at least build a building in one month." A city wall ten feet long and five feet high."

"You...you woman, what are you talking about?" Old Bai Xiangguo hurriedly covered the wrench on his finger with his sleeve after hearing this.

Gu Qingmei said seriously: "The little girl has no intention of touching the adult, but the adult refuses to let the little girl go. No matter what the little girl says, the old man will find the little girl wrong. Therefore, the little girl has no choice but to break up with the adult." I'm shameless. Also, if the emperor really intends to adopt the little girl's suggestion and build a city wall to protect the country, the little girl is willing to donate all the rewards that the emperor gave the little girl just now. I don't know that such a thing that benefits the country and the people, is your lord willing? How about donating this jadeite finger? It's a pity that I'm a woman and I can't share the emperor's worries. If I were a man, I would ask the emperor for this job. I don't want a tael of silver from the treasury. I earn money to repair it for the emperor. This Great Wall!"

When Murong Yu heard her bragging about her reputation, she couldn't help yelling: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Qingmei also knew that what she said just now was a bit big, so she had to shut her mouth in grievance, but the mouth was so pouty that an oil bottle could be hung on it.

"You..." Old Bai Xiangguo didn't come up in a breath, almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. This finger wrench was honored by a student of his, and it was the best ice jadeite, which was extremely rare. He was so happy that he wore it on his hand every day. Where are you willing to donate?This kind of treasure is hard to come by.

"Okay!" Seeing that old Bai Xiangguo was on the verge of collapse, the emperor couldn't help but open his mouth to smooth things over. "Old Bai Xiangguo, you are too. The dignified elder of the three dynasties always makes things difficult for a little girl. She looks younger than your great-granddaughter."

The implication is to remind Bai Laoxiangguo that you are too old, so you should retire quickly.

He has said this several times, but the old Bai Xiangguo just occupied his seat and refused to move. In the past, Bai Laoxiangguo was a meritorious minister who helped him ascend the throne. In order to prevent others from gossiping, he could not issue an order to dismiss him Resignation, can only keep wasting.

Speaking of which, Bai Lao Xiangguo was not like this when he was young. Although he was a civil servant, he had a decisive temperament.

This is because the older you get, the more confused you become.

Murong Yu spoke lazily, with a hint of impatience in his voice, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to ask this girl? If you have nothing to ask, my nephew will take her back first."

His aunt is the emperor's favorite concubine, and he has no official position, second is not a prince, and third is not a slave. The titles of minister and slave cannot be used. With his background, it is not appropriate to call himself a grassroots, so in front of the emperor , has always called himself a nephew.

The emperor couldn't help but glared at him angrily, "Why are you in a hurry? Is there anything else I want to ask her?"

As he said that, the emperor asked: "Gu Qingmei, you are a little girl who never leaves the door, who told you these things?"

"Some were told by my brother, some were read by myself, and some were just imagined by the little girl." She didn't dare to tell the emperor that she had traveled from another world. Treat her like a monster.

The emperor couldn't help but praised: "Your brother is also knowledgeable. What's his name? Does he have a reputation?"

When the emperor asked this question, he was undoubtedly planning to promote her brother.

Gu Qingmei immediately said: "Minnv's fourth brother, Gu Qingyang, is a scholar. This year, he is preparing to take the Qiuwei exam. Minnv's literacy is taught by her fourth brother. Minnv also has a cousin named Gu Qinglei, who is now a martial artist. Scholars, I am going to take the Qiuwei Exam in September, and if I am lucky enough to pass, I can join the army and serve the country."

Those who are promoted or not are put aside first, and it is best to take this opportunity to impress the emperor, otherwise, if Xiangguo, who has always looked down on him, makes troubles and secretly embarrasses the fourth brother and second cousin, then there will be no grievances. The place sued.

These high-ranking ministers often look down on those princes who can't inherit the throne, and the fourth prince is not a prince, so naturally there is no way to win their favor.

At that time, even if the emperor asks a question in the palace about the fourth brother and second cousin, these people will definitely not dare to act rashly.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair unfathomably. He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his mind. After a long time, he coughed softly and asked, but he obviously lacked confidence: "Gu Qingmei, what are you doing? Little girl, if I give you the power, can you really help me build the city wall that protects the country without asking me for a tael of silver?"

"Your majesty, absolutely not!" Old Bai Xiangguo immediately knelt down for the emperor, and cried while crawling on the ground. "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official. Your Majesty must not violate the rules of the ancestors."

Murong Yu also said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, she is a little girl, but she just opened a shop selling handbags with the fourth concubine, how much money can she make? Just now she was rushed by Bai Lao Xiangguo. Nonsense!"

The fourth prince said with a smile on his face, "That's right, Royal Father, she was just talking too much, that's why she boasted so much."

The emperor's face sank, and he said coldly: "I didn't ask you, so shut up. Gu Qingmei, tell me, you must know that if you boast in front of me, you will have your head beheaded!"

Seeing that the emperor took it seriously, Murong Yu quickly knelt down for him, "Your majesty..."

Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, he saw a teacup thrown down by the emperor, "Come here, drag him out!"

Immediately, two guards came in from outside the hall, one on each side, grabbed Murong Yu's arm and dragged it out.

Although Murong Yu didn't pay attention to the two guards and could struggle away casually, he didn't dare to struggle, and let the two guards drag him out, but he shouted: "Your Majesty, at most I will take it!" This mission, I don’t want a tael of silver from the treasury, I’ll build this wall to protect the country for you!”
