Chapter 97: Surprise
Ju'er saluted respectfully: "Slave Ju'er, I've seen Miss!" ”
Mulan was very moved, and she was deeply blessed with tears: "Mulan has thanked the county lord of Jinxiu, your great kindness, Mulan will never forget it in her life!" In the future, if the county lord needs Mulan to do, please tell Mulan, Mulan will never refuse! ”
In front of the Marquis of Zhongyi, Dongfang Huajin specially told Mulan: "Mulan, you remember, you don't owe the Yu family a single star." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Speaking of which, on the contrary, the Yu family owes you, and it is the people of the Yu family who make you lonely, and you are almost killed by someone. Today, you are back, you are the eldest daughter of the righteous marquis, and any girl of the same generation in this mansion will not be able to go past you! ”
Zhongyihou hurriedly interjected: "Yes, Mulan, what the county lord of Jinxiu said is right!" You are the eldest daughter of the most valuable status of the Yu family, and no one can go past you among the younger brothers and sisters below! If they dare to be disrespectful to you, you can just take action and teach them a hard lesson! ”
Mulan didn't care about him at all, as if he didn't exist, which made Zhongyihou can't help but feel very blocked in his heart. There was a feeling of extreme powerlessness that crept through my heart, and a deep sense of loss and remorse appeared in my eyes.
Knowing this, he had been kind to the child when she had just returned. Even if you don't get close, at the very least, you can't turn a blind eye and ignore it!
Alas, among the children and grandchildren of this family, which one saw him, didn't he rush to curry favor? But Mulan, his daughter, he took the initiative to show kindness, but she didn't take the opportunity to please him. This kind of Mulan made him feel a deep loss, and he also inexplicably felt a little flustered.
He was suddenly very worried, worried about this daughter, and from then on regarded him as a stranger, and never got close to him again.
Very good! It's good that you don't get moved easily, and you don't soften your heart if you don't soften easily! In the future, Mulan will be able to survive well in this deep house compound, and she will not be sold, and she will be stupid enough to help count the money!
Dongfang Huajin nodded with satisfaction: "You have to hold up your chest, be an upright person, have confidence in yourself, and you must not even look down on yourself!" In addition, remember what I said: you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people! In this world, the only person you can completely trust is yourself! ”
Mulan nodded vigorously: "Thank you county lord, I know, I will keep it in my heart and will not forget!" ”
Dongfang Huajin gave Mulan a bag of silver coins in front of everyone: "Here are ten silver tickets of five taels, and five taels of scattered silver, don't be reluctant to use them." If you have any difficulties, you can go to Huali Villa to find me, or go to the happy house for help! ”
Mulan nodded tearfully, knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed to Dongfang Painting Brocade: "Thank you for the great kindness of the county lord, Mulan is grateful!" ”
Da En is not to be reported, if one day, the county lord needs her help, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! This great benefactor is even better to her than her flesh and blood relatives, and even better than her biological parents to her. Moreover, sincerely, without half a point of calculation and contempt.
Such kindness, even if it is at the cost of her life to reciprocate, she will not blink an eye, and she will feel that it is worth it!
"Good boy, get up! In the future, you will be my sister, if anyone bullies you, just go to me! "I glanced at the half-old clothes on Mulan's body, which were obviously inappropriate, and at first glance, they were the old clothes that I picked up and didn't want.
frowned slightly, displeasure flashed on her face, and told Ju'er: "The clothes on Mulan's body don't fit, you go to the cloth village, buy a few pieces of fabric, and hurry up to make two sets of clothes, shoes and socks for Mulan!" ”
Ju'er responded respectfully: "Yes, master." ”
The handsome face of the Marquis of Zhongyi was blue and white, and he was embarrassed. If there was a hole in front of him, he would definitely go into it without hesitation, and the sharp gaze of the county lord of Jinxiu fell on his face, just like the knife, which made him ashamed.
It's been a long time since Mulan returned home, and the house hasn't prepared new clothes for her. What she was wearing now looked quite familiar, and it seemed to be the old clothes that Fleur wore last year. Fortunately, Mulan is much thinner and shorter than Furong, otherwise, how can she wear last year's clothes? Rao is like this, this dress doesn't fit well, and when it is worn on Mulan, it is even much wider.
Mulan's body looks at least two years younger than her actual age.
Can you imagine how much suffering and sin this child has suffered in the past five years? I'm afraid, I haven't even eaten a full meal, right?
And the adopted daughter Furong is well-dressed and pampered. Even if she was a good person, a person who knew about Entu, then he wouldn't have any ideas. However, after Mulan came back, this person targeted Mulan everywhere, and even wanted to harm Mulan, he really had no conscience, he was a white-eyed wolf.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhongyihou's dislike for Furong skyrocketed. And, more and more, I feel that my wife is a fool and a fool!
Zhongyihou closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the vigorous anger in his heart, so that he would not punch and kick his wife impulsively. He glared at his wife, and his voice was very fierce: "What are you eating?" Is there still a little bit of motherly heart? It's been so long since Mulan came back, and you haven't prepared new clothes for her, so you even took your adopted daughter's old clothes for Mulan to wear! Is the family so poor? The daughter of her own relatives who is so poor that she wants to pick up the old clothes of an adopted daughter of unknown origin to wear?! Your face is really big, and your heart is so black, it's so black! ”
He scolded again: "Hurry up, let the embroidery room immediately make clothes, shoes and socks for Mulan, and make a set today." Then, five more sets should be made, and good clothing should be used, clothing, color, style and workmanship, each of which must be worthy of the identity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion! ”
Mrs. Zhongyi Hou was frightened by her husband.
Since marrying her husband, it was the first time he had slapped her in the face like this.
However, at this moment, she is still a little ashamed.
After all, no matter how much she doesn't like Mulan, this is also her daughter-in-law.
After sending away the Oriental Painting Brocade, the Marquis of Zhongyi stood alone under the big tree at the gate and pondered for a long time.
Today, the words of Oriental Painting Brocade touched him greatly and awakened his long-dormant fatherly love. It also woke him up and made him realize that if he continued like this, the Yu family would be finished!
Today, Dongfang Huajin scolded him, and instead of resentment, he felt grateful. It's just that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion may have accumulated too much darkness and filth for a long time, and it is definitely not something that can be cleared overnight.
******
In a grange bought by Oriental Painting Brocade, well salt was found.
The salt of the green country is controlled by the imperial court and is not allowed to be sold by private individuals. However, there is no rule that private individuals are not allowed to make table salt. Of course, those who have the courage to make food in private are naturally those in high positions.
The discovery of well salt happened to be the Oriental Painting Brocade. It's not that other people don't have the opportunity to find out, but they don't have much knowledge, and even if they do, they don't know that they can get out of the well salt.
The grange covers an area of more than 100 acres, most of the places can produce salt, the yield is very large, the Oriental painting brocade estimated, at least 100,000 catties. This huge number tickled her heart, and she was really unwilling to give up.
You must know that there is only one state capital in the land of the green country by the sea, and the salt is not very rich, and the salt on the market has been sold for ten taels of silver per catty!
You can't sell illicit salt, how is that good?
Moreover, once it is officially mined, it will be difficult to hide the matter of well salt here for a long time. If she doesn't mine it, or give it to the government for nothing, she is unwilling.
Oriental painting brocade sat on the hillside, frowning.
Song Ci came back from a business trip and came out to look for her, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel very distressed: "Huajin, what's wrong with you?" Do you have any troubles? ”
Dongfang Huajin thought about it and told him about the discovery of salt.
Song Ci smiled faintly, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not a difficult thing, it's a good thing to have a lot of salt on hand, although you can't sell salt, but you can make pickles and salted eggs and salted duck eggs to sell!" Then you won't break the law! ”
"yes, that's a good idea, why didn't I think of it before?" Dongfang Huajin's eyes lit up, but it quickly dimmed, and he shook his head: "This can't solve the problem either, once it is mined, the news will leak out." Mining salt without permission should also be allowed, and if it is discovered by the imperial court, the entire grange will be confiscated! ”
Song Ci still said in a relaxed tone: "It's not a difficult matter, you can report to the emperor to ensure that the mined salt is only used to make pickles and salted eggs." In addition, the proceeds from selling pickles and salted eggs will give the emperor half of the profits, so it's okay! ”
Dongfang Huajin is still worried: "No, this is still risky!" Now, the emperor is really good to you and me, but the emperor has a needle in his heart. If one day, you and I attract the emperor's displeasure and make people look unpleasant, this matter is a big crisis! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the emperor really doesn't care, there are still so many people who are jealous of you and me, and there are still many dead-eyed imperial histories. It is a must to take precautions and be prepared for danger in times of peace! Believe it, you may have been too smooth sailing over the years, and when you have a sense of crisis, you seem to be a little lacking! ”
Song Ci shook his head and smiled, his tone was still relaxed: "Painting brocade, crisis awareness, I naturally have it." Today's saint is rare through the ages, and he is indeed a wise king. As long as we don't touch his bottom line, he will never attack you and me, and his bottom line, for me, is just a rebellion! ”
It seems that your understanding of me is still superficial.
