Chapter 158: The Gold Mine and the Lucky General

Huo Yan looked at Liu Jing's figure standing in the dark, and only looked at it for a long time, and didn't speak for a long time.

The next day was the day of the Baiyi Building's banquet for the magnates of Luoyang.

Liu Baiyi, although he was summoned by the queen's mother, because the queen's mother didn't value it so much, all the powerful people also muttered in their hearts. However, after knowing that Liu Baiyi had made contributions to the queen mother in the past two years, and knowing that Liu Baiyi and Deng Jiulang were quite ambiguously entangled in the carriage yesterday, the magnates rewarded some faces.

Therefore, during the three-day banquet in Baiyilou, the major families and magnates in Luoyang all sent people to come, although only the concubines in some families and the housekeepers in the mansions of the magnates came to the banquet, and none of the real power centers and people arrived.

However, as early as Liu Jing's expectations, she didn't care about them. She just performed mysteriously in the white-clothed building on the night of the moonrise, and after silently attracting more Luoyang people to pay attention to it, she began a series of intense actions.

On this day, the sun was just right.

Sitting in the garden of Beizhuang in Deng's mansion, more than a dozen noblewomen and sisters-in-law competed with each other, smiling and smiling.

These ladies and sisters-in-law are close to each other, and they often move around, and they are also very familiar with natural speech. While they were giggling, a steward strode in.

The steward came to the side of a noble lady in the middle, and whispered, "Madam, I just learned that only two days after that Liu Baiyi bought the west beach of the Luohe River for a lot of money, he found a gold mine there!" ”

"What?" Before the lady could speak, a sister-in-law beside her had already screamed. And with the exclamation of this sister-in-law. The noisy crowd in the garden fell silent and looked at the steward.

In the silence, the steward said with a serious face: "This news is indeed correct. Under a small hill on the west beach of the Naluo River, there is indeed a gold mine, and now Liu Baiyi is organizing people to extract ore, and the major families are also alarmed! ”

The lady frowned and shouted questioningly, "This is impossible! Luoyang is only so big, could it be said that in the past hundred years, the people of Luoyang have been blind. The gold mine in front of you is unaware. As soon as the willow white clothes came, they found out? ”

As soon as the lady said this, there was a loud buzz everywhere.

In the midst of everyone's discussions, the steward said seriously: "Everyone said the same. Now the people who know the Tao are all in chaos. The Wu clan who sold the three hills. Now I can repent of breaking my bowels. When talking about the Wu family, the steward couldn't help but glance at Wu Jiao, who was sitting on one side and looked particularly demure and beautiful.

And then. He said to the lady again: "However, some people say that the gold mine cannot be discovered by others, but Liu Baiyi knows that it is because he has gathered some strange talents under his command, and those talents are extremely outstanding in some aspects. He also said that the reason why Liu Baiyi was called to Luoyang this time was to go to the gold mine. ”

The lady had now fallen silent, and she asked softly, "Can you go and see the gold mines, how many are estimated?" ”

The steward frowned and said: "This mine is buried in the ground, and it has never even appeared in the Luo River, according to preliminary statistics, the amount of gold in it is about 100,000 taels to millions of taels of gold. ”

100,000 taels to millions of taels? The difference is so big, this kind of estimation is really better than not estimating.

The lady pondered for a while and asked, "The queen also knows about this?" ”

"Yes."

"Did the lady say anything?"

"The mother is very happy."

After the steward said these five words, there was a small silence in the garden. In the quiet, Ah Jiao and the other sister-in-law obviously looked a little bad, and after the lady glanced at them, she nodded, and asked, "Liu Baiyi has a gold mine, what are you going to do?" ”

Gold is extremely valuable in the world, generally speaking, private gold collection of more than a certain amount will cause suspicion in the court, not to mention this kind of gold discovery in full view?

After listening to the lady's questioning, the steward replied, "I don't know what to say yet." However, Kuro also passed just now. ”

As soon as the steward's words came out, a beautiful girl sitting beside Ah Jiao couldn't help but shout unhappily: "Brother Nine is really, hasn't he locked himself in the study these days?" Why is it that Liu Baiyi has a little thing to ......?"

When the girl said this, she bit her lower lip and said hatefully: "Is he worried that Liu Baiyi will not deal with these things, so as to cause trouble?" He, he definitely wants to use this gold mine to apply for Liu Baiyi in the court! ”

In Wang Mang's dynasty, although the princes and princes donated the gold mines, the court would not give corresponding compensation. But now is not the period of Wang Mang's rebellion after all. Emperor Guangwu emphasized the merit of moral rule, and the world has long been in order, and as long as she offers this gold mine obtained by Liu Baiyi, the queen must give her corresponding compensation...... Even, the compensation will not be less. Even, as soon as this willow white cloth entered Luoyang, he made a contribution to the discovery of gold mines in the court, and he was also cited as a lucky general by the queen.

The small garden suddenly became quiet from the hustle and bustle just now.

The lady fell silent.

After a while, she whispered: "There are countless people passing by the mountains next to the west beach of the Naluo River every year, but none of those people have found gold mines. After a pause, she sighed again: "I think so, and the queen must want to come too." Speaking of which, in just two years, Liu Baiyi has accumulated the wealth of a vassal state, and he may really be a blessing. As soon as Madame's words came out, Ah Jiao and the other two sisters-in-law on one side had already brushed their faces blue.

The lady didn't care about the girls, she stood up and smiled gently at the steward, "Let's go, let's go and see this excitement!" ”

"Yes, ma'am!" After the steward received the order, the lady took Ah Jiao and other daughters and walked out of Zhuangzi in a mighty way.

The whole Luoyang was shocked by this news, and when more and more people came, Liu Jing was surrounded by Huo Yan and others, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the hot mountain bag in a daze.

After a moment's pause, she frowned and muttered, "That's really...... How could there be a gold mine here? ”

Huo Yan was a little amused when he heard her complaining tone, and he laughed clearly: "Childe, what are these words?" What a surprise was the discovery of gold? Isn't Childe still happy? ”

Liu Jing was still in a daze, and after a while, she muttered: "Today, I know that there are accidents everywhere in the world. Speaking of this, she turned to a tall and thin handsome guard, and said solemnly: "Gongsun Xun, you have made great contributions to this gold mine, and I will reward you again when I go back!" ”

That Gongsun Xun seemed very silent, he just bowed his head and saluted Liu Jing, and quietly retreated to a place where no one was paying attention.

At this moment, Huo Yan suddenly said, "Childe, the queen mother will summon you soon." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jing smiled faintly.

Looking at her smile, Liji walked to her side, and said with a coquettish smile: "This time, the queen mother just doesn't want to reward my son-in-law, and she has to reward ......" She tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned to Huo Yan and Zhang Jing, "Hey, what are you two still standing here?" Don't you think about it for your son, you will see the queen mother, what reward should you ask for? ”

As soon as Liji's words came out, everyone, including Liu Jing, smiled.

Liu Jing is even more.

She looked at the crowd busy under the mountain bag, and watched the cave where a dozen people kept burrowing around...... In fact, if she hadn't bought the three mountain packs and wanted to bulldoze them to build her ideal city of pleasure, her subordinates wouldn't have entered this nameless cave and discovered this small gold mine.

However, the current key is not the size of this gold mine, but the meaning contained in it, she Liu Baiyi has such a good thing as soon as she arrives in Luoyang, it is really impossible to say that she is not the lucky star of the queen's mother!

It is often said in the world that luck is also part of strength, and it seems that her luck is really not bad.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled slowly: "Yes, I have to think about it, this time, it's time to ask the queen for a reward!" ”

Just as her voice fell, Zhang Jing said behind her: "Childe, the silver armor guard is here!" ”

Liu Jing raised her head.

She looked at the knights who appeared in the scorching sun, the silver light, and the smoke and dust held high, and slowly opened her eyes.

And behind her, a guard couldn't help but whisper: "It's Deng Jiu...... Childe, with him here, many things are much simpler. "Rao is the good and bad between Liu Jing and Deng Jiulang, but in the eyes of these people, if something happens to Liu Jing, the first time she rushes out to protect her, it must be that Nanyang Deng Jiu.

Liu Jing looked at the dazzling silver light, looked at the black figure rushing in front of the silver light, and suddenly, she turned her head sideways.

Turning her head sideways, Liu Jing pursed her lips and said, "You guys receive him first, and I'll go to the carriage to rest first." Without waiting for the guards to react, she walked towards the carriage parked on the side.

After a while, Liu Jing came to the carriage.

Holding the wheel of the carriage, Liu Jing stiffened as she went up. She looked at the texture of the ebony in her hand, bit her lip and thought secretly: Before he didn't marry me, I would never exchange my credit for that marriage contract! So Liu Jing, you don't need to be excited, and you don't need to make difficult decisions!

She sneered and looked at the mountains in the distance, and thought: Money, power, power, the latter two queen mothers will definitely not allow me easily, but what does it matter, when a person is rich and rivals the country, the power and power are actually in the process of manipulating.

Just as Liu Jing was standing beside the carriage and thinking about it, a rush of footsteps came, and after a while, Huo Yan's voice came from behind her, "Childe." He snorted at Liu Jing and said elegantly: "I just learned that someone mentioned the marriage of the prince in front of the queen mother...... Now there are five families who have expressed their willingness to marry to the queen, in addition, the son is a woman's body, and there are also people spreading it everywhere, there are three families who propose to the queen to marry the princess as a wife, and one of them is surnamed Gu! As soon as these words came out, Liu Jing turned her head excitedly.
