Chapter 21: The Peony Garden
The common people always hate corrupt officials when they talk about them, but they envy that people can have slaves and maids to serve at home, and there are carriages to follow when they go out. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoA man can marry three or five beautiful girls, and a woman can choose a good husband.
In a high-ranking family, even a rough girl should dress better than ordinary people. I can't afford to rely on a few officials alone.
In the drama script, the officials are all moths, and it is rare to find a blue sky master. In this dynasty, there are not many people who are regarded as good officials by the people, Taifu Wang Lang is one, Wang Lang is an honest official, his sleeves are clean, and the most important thing is that people have the style of a literati. He advised the prince several times, saying that the prince was extravagant and wasteful, lived extravagantly, and was strict with him, etc. The prince was angry for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't do it, so he relented. Because of his reputation for being upright and admonishing to the end, after the prince was deposed, the prince's party basically disappeared from the court, and Wang Lang received a false position, still enjoying the respect of others.
The Su family has no protΓ©gΓ©s to help, and the old man of the Su family is trapped in the capital, even if he wants to be corrupt, he has no place to be greedy. In order to maintain their lives, the Su family naturally has its own business.
Chen Wan's Yuanbao Pavilion, Su Fanghua and Su Shaohua have a dividend of 10% every year. It was the shares that Su Shaohua used to save the disciples of the Banmen in exchange for his blood, but Su Shaohua himself did not know. If you knew, that red component hadn't been in your hands yet, and it would have been replaced by Su Shaohua with all kinds of gadgets from the Ingot Pavilion.
On the surface, the most profitable business is a partnership with the He family. It was Su Shaohua's mother who prepared a dowry for Su Shaohua, with more than a dozen shops and a mine. The He family has a group of domestic slaves, which are said to have been transported from overseas, with special blood, red hair, and can control stones and wood. They built more than half of the houses in the city and renovated the city walls. This team also belongs to Su Shaohua.
"Fanghua, look." Su Shaohua leaned his face to Su Fanghua, "Look if my face is red." β
It was indeed a little red, Su Shaohua asked Yue'er to make a basin of cold water and put it on her face for a while before coming to Su Fanghua. Su Fanghua is looking at this month's account book.
"Well, what's wrong with Red." These two sisters, one knows that her sister is doing trouble, and the other knows that her sister knows that she is doing trouble, but the play still has to be played.
"Oh, it's not that the rouge that Yue'er bought is not good. I applied it in the morning, spent it in the afternoon, and it still stinged when I washed my face at night. Su Shaohua said aggrievedly.
"Oh, what should I do?" Su Fanghua asked cooperatively.
"Next time, let Yue'er buy the best rouge." Su Shaohua said.
Su Fanghua nodded: "Well, okay." I know that there are a few good new ones for Butterfly Love Flowers, and the concubines in the palace have said that they are good. Cousin, you are so beautiful, of course you have to use this best. β
Su Shaohua couldn't stop nodding.
"Okay, that's it. Next month, spend 100 taels of your monthly money to buy three boxes of fat powder. Su Fanghua clapped.
Su Shaohua was overjoyed and asked, "But isn't my monthly money sixty taels a month?" β
"That's right, if it's all deducted next month, it will be deducted next month. During this time, you can't buy anything, and whatever you want to eat, the kitchenette won't cook it for you. Su Fanghua said with a smile, "However, don't worry, there will still be three steamed buns a day, and I can't watch my dear cousin starve to death in order to buy fat powder." β
Su Shaohua was deflated. How good it was when my aunt was there, I bought whatever I wanted, and my aunt paid the bills, but now Su Fanghua is in charge, and she can't pick up a copper in her hand.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't give me money, I'll sell my blood!" Su Shaohua said that the most valuable thing in her body was the blood of Gu raising.
"Okay. I'll keep you with delicious food and drink, and when a guest comes, I'll let you bleed. Just like the cow in our backyard, in addition to eating, it is bloodletting. β
"Su Fanghua! ......" Su Shaohua hugged Su Fanghua's arm, "My good sister, you just let me buy it." β
"Yes. However, you also know that it costs money to buy fat powder, jewelry, and fabrics. Su Fanghua said, "The news from the capital is that the emperor intends to build a palace in Qingyang City. If we can win this business, do you still worry about this little money? β
"Can we take it? The team my mother gave me was only about 30 people, and the cultivation palace was not enough. Moreover, the royal mausoleum was repaired by the Ye family, and according to common sense, as long as the Ye family wants, the palace will also be built by them. Su Shaohua said, "Ye Guifei is still the only one who is favored. β
"Not enough people is not a big deal. There will definitely be some people from the Ministry of Works, they are the leaders, I just need you to participate in this matter of the Cultivation Palace. As for the Ye family, rest assured, when the time comes, they will definitely not have the heart to be on the palace. β
Su Shaohua always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "So, Lingxu Zhenren went down the mountain to save Mrs. Chen for this matter." The Chen family has someone in the Ministry of Industry, and they don't deal with the Ye family. β
"Well, yes, you've got the hang of it." Su Fanghua did not hesitate to praise herself.
Su Shaohua was unsure: "No, no." You put so much effort into building the palace? Why don't I sell blood, it's simple and convenient, and it won't hurt your body......"
"If you say it again, I'm moved."

"Mrs. Chen's illness was done by you on purpose?" The Spirit Void Dao Master also suspected Su Fanghua's head. Medicine masters are hard to see, and Gu is even harder to see. Some pharmacists, even if they have skills, are reluctant to show them in front of others, for fear of causing trouble.
Su Fanghua shook his head: "How could it be me, do I seem to be such a vicious person?" β
"But I know who gave Mrs. Chen a trick, and I know how to break it."
Lingxu Daoist and Su Fanghua made an appointment in the peony garden, which was the peony garden where there was a peony flower demon. The flower demon was very hospitable, poured flower tea for the two of them, sat next to the Lingxu Daoist, and looked at him with very peculiar eyes.
The flower demon has no gender, and it doesn't mind becoming a woman for the sake of the Spirit Void Dao Leader.
"Who is it?"
"Can't tell."
"How?"
"Can't tell."
"I can help you!" The flower demon said with a small face and a big wink.
The appearance of the flower demon was transformed by itself, and the appearance of the handsome little student provoked Li Ye, a disciple, and it changed its appearance again. The bigger the eyes, the better, the smaller the face, the better, people with normal aesthetics will feel a little scary, but the flower demon feels that he is not beautiful.
Su Fanghua nodded: "It can indeed help you." β
"Thank you very much...... then"
The Lingxu Dao Chief was about to thank him, and the flower demon hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to say thanks, I have conditions." β
"On what terms?"
"I want you to let me taste the **** taste of this mortal world."
The flower tea in the hand of the Lingxu Dao Chief was sprinkled on the ground. He glanced at Su Fanghua, who was smiling, and he felt that Su Fanghua's purpose of inviting him down the mountain could never be as stated in the letter, she must have deliberately tried to trick him.
