Sang Tianjiao girl is a little sweet

Chapter 384 Transferring Hatred 1
Afterwards, Eunuch Guo took out the imperial decree from his wide sleeve, and looked at Hua Qian contemptuously: "Hua Qian listened to the decree—"

Hua Qian frowned, she didn't know where the imperial decree came from, but she still knelt obediently to listen to the decree.

However, the more she heard it, the more shocked she became, especially when she heard that Hua Jin was selected as a tribute by the royal family, and she would pay [-] horses every spring in the future, she felt bad all over.

Two hundred horses?Why doesn't this royal man go grab it!
Eunuch Guo saw Hua Qian knelt on the ground and refused to accept the imperial edict, and scolded, "Hua Qian, a pariah, do you want to resist the edict?"

Hearing the word 'untouchable', Hua Qian's eyes darkened, and she stretched out her hands reluctantly: "The grassroots...accept the order."

Seeing that Eunuch Guo had finished his work, Nangong Zi stepped forward and pulled Hua Qian up: "Since the imperial decree has been delivered, Eunuch Guo can take people back to town to stay overnight. You have to rush back to the capital tomorrow morning."

Eunuch Guo, who didn't benefit from Hua Qian, was sent away by Nangong Zi. He was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Yes, the old slave will leave now, and the princess will have fun." Eunuch Guo said with a smile, and his expression changed when he turned around.

The more than 30 people who came basically left with Eunuch Guo, leaving only Nangong Zi's coachman, maid and two guards.

Seeing this, Hua Qian raised her eyebrows: "Miss Zi, are you planning to stay at my house again?"

Nangong Zi lightly flicked his sleeves, helped the maid's hand and entered the Plum Blossom House: "Don't worry, the money will not be lost to you. Also, although the imperial decree did not mention the price of Huajin, it is because it is delivered to Beijing every year. He is my elder brother, so we need to have a good talk about the price."

Hua Qian was slightly startled, and then chuckled, "Miss Zi is so talented that she actually thought of getting kickbacks from the tribute."

At this time, Nangong Zi, who was heading towards the pavilion in the martial arts field in the backyard, looked back at Hua Qian and said with a smile, "I made this business for you. How could I not have any benefit."

It turned out to be the girl's fault.

"Actually, I don't care that Hua Jin was chosen as a tribute at all..."

Hearing this, Nangong Zi interrupted directly: "Sometimes you look smart, why are you confused now?"

"All ears." Hua Qian wanted to hear the opinion of the princess who had been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child.

Nangong Zi supported the maid's arm and walked up the steps, sitting on the wooden chair in the gazebo: "When Huajin becomes a tribute, those high-ranking officials and nobles will flock to it, and the shop you opened will attract customers like a cloud. It’s not money rolling in.”

"Miss Zi is right, but have you ever heard that doing business with the royal family is the easiest way to lose your head?" Hua Qian sat opposite Nangong Zi, looking at her leisurely.

The corner of Nangong Zi's mouth twitched, and after some thought, she felt that Hua Qian's worry was not unreasonable.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang is a good emperor. As long as there is no problem with the Huajin you pay tribute every year, your family's heads will not move." Nangong Zi still thought too simply.

Hua Qian smiled slightly, and said to Xiaoyue who was standing behind her: "Xiaoyue, the guests have been here for so long, why did you forget to bring tea?"

Xiaoyue blushed slightly and scratched her head: "I... I was nervous and forgot. By the way, miss, the pickles that Aunt Seven made half a month ago are ready to eat. I brought back two jars. Do you want to eat now?"

Hearing Xiaoyue talking about pickles, Nangong Zi was also a little greedy, so she said: "Xiaoyue, bring me some porridge with pickles, thank you."

Xiao Yue didn't agree immediately, but looked at Hua Qian.

"Go, I happen to be a little hungry too." After Hua Qian finished speaking, Xiaoyue left with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Nangong Zi snorted softly, and spat: "You girl is so bold, how dare you not listen to me."

Hua Qian crossed her legs, propped her elbows on the table, and looked at the distant mountain scenery in a daze with her face in her hands. Nangong Zi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hua Qian, don't you want to know the price of this Hua Jin?" Nangong Zi looked at Hua Qian without blinking, but found that she really didn't care at all.

At this time, Hua Qian didn't know what was in her mind, she sat up straight suddenly, and asked seriously: "Miss Zi, I heard that Xie's organdy is also one of the tributes?"

Nangong Zi didn't know what Hua Qian wanted to ask, but it was no secret that the Xie family's organdy was a tribute.

"Yes, but the Xie family is not only organdy, but also soft smoke and brocade, which are also one of the tributes."

After Nangong Zi finished speaking, she saw Hua Qian's expression change slightly, and said again: "Although the Xie family did not weave these three types of cloth first, after they have been improved, their quality is much higher than those sold on the market."

After listening, Hua Qian stood up and walked around the table: "How does it compare with my Huajin?"

Nangong Zi deliberately kept silent for a long time, waiting for Hua Qian to beg her anxiously, but unfortunately, she was completely wrong, Hua Qian was not in a hurry at all.

"Hua Jin is slightly better, otherwise, would I give you an imperial edict?" After wearing Hua Jin, Nangong Zi felt uncomfortable wearing clothes made of other materials.

In previous years, she would sweat a lot in summer, and she would feel sticky all over after walking in the garden of the mansion, but after wearing Huajin, she no longer felt this way.

Hua Qian smiled in satisfaction, and then asked casually: "In this way, am I stealing the Xie family's business?"

At this time, Xiaoyue just brought over porridge and pickles, and put them on the table one by one with the maid beside Nangong Zi.

Nangong Zi took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by the maid, and after eating a piece of lotus root, she said: "I don't know business, but Xie's brocade and soft smoke have indeed reduced the amount of tribute."

In this way, the mysterious person was most likely sent by the Xie family. Someone in their family was an official in the court, so they must have got the news early in the morning.

Therefore, they want to kill their family before the imperial decree arrives. In this way, the Xie family will benefit in the end.

"How much did you lose?" Hua Qian was very curious, what is the amount that would make the members of the Xie family angry.

Nangong Zi was eating porridge, and whenever she had time to answer, she motioned to the maid beside her to speak.

"Miss Hui Hua, in previous years, the Xie family brought 160 brocade brocades and 180 soft smokes to the palace, but now they have reduced to [-] brocades and soft smokes each."

The reduction has more than doubled, no wonder the Xie family is so angry, but, what does this have to do with her, if you want to blame, you can blame the princess in front of you, she is meddlesome!
But if you think about it, you can understand that even if they hold a grudge against Nangong Zi, they probably wouldn't dare to kill her. If they are accidentally found out by King Ping, even if the Xie family is not implicated in the nine clans, they will have to kill her.

Compared with offending King Ping, their Hua family is a small family, killing them could not be easier, but unfortunately, they underestimated Hua Qian's family.

"Aren't the people from the Xie family very angry, they probably want to kill me!" Hua Qian said with a feigned look of fear.

Nangong Zi, who already knew Hua Qian, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "You will be afraid, no one will believe it! However, Mrs. Xie was really angry at that time."

Hua Qian chuckled, stopped asking, and ate quietly.
