Chapter 213: The Last Chance to Negotiate
But the momentum was extraordinary, and as soon as the three people who walked in the wind arrived at the gate, they were stumped by a question from the gatekeeper.
"Do you have an invitation?"
Shunhua shook his head blankly.
"Then please go back, you can't enter without an invitation."
"Invitation?"
It's embarrassing.
The letter only said that they would meet in Rongxianglou when they were in the unitary time, but she didn't write that she needed an invitation to go in.
Careless.
"Miss Yan, what should I do now? Do you want to go home? Guard Lan asked.
"No, Miss Ben has to see me today." She said suddenly.
Suddenly, she pointed to the people who were moving things into the back door in the distance and asked, "Why are they able to get in?" β
"They are the ones who are responsible for bringing the wine over, and they can only enter the back door, not the front hall, if you don't have an invitation, please go back, so as not to block the gate."
Shun Hua looked at the person who carried the wine jar in suspiciously, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Follow me."
After about a stick of incense, the three people in disguise hid in the corner, looked at the coolies who carried the wine jar, and moved the wine jar into the jar one by one.
"Even the guards at the back door are very tight, and it seems that it is not so easy to pretend that the coolies will go in if they only let the coolies carry the wine less than a foot from the door and let them turn back."
The guard Lulu analyzed calmly.
"Miss Yan, didn't you say that you made an appointment to meet in Rongxiang Building? I'm afraid the time is coming. β
Guard Lan was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, we still have time for half a stick of incense, just wait for the person who carries the wine to leave."
She stared straight ahead, like a vulture patiently waiting for the hound to leave.
The three of them watched the wine giver leave anxiously, so they hurriedly lifted the wine jar, stepped forward and knocked on the door: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, and I missed a jar of wine." β
The other party opened the door suspiciously, looking at the three of them with wary eyes.
"There is one less altar, the old Fu family wants to do things properly, and there are few mistakes, are you mistaken?"
Guarding Lan raised his eyes, and his eyes sharpened to find the dagger hidden under the little guy's arm.
"There will be no mistake, you will know it when you click on it, and besides, the boss ordered us to move the wine jar back, and we forgot about it just now." Shunhua pretended to be distressed and said: "It's all because the sow at home is sick and dead." β
"The sow in the family is sick and died, and it has something to do with your mistakes?" The little guy asked curiously.
"Of course." Shunhua slapped his big hand and stood at the door pretending to be familiar, "The sow at home is sick and dead, and thousands of taels are missing in the house, which makes my lady quarrel all day long, I am restless at night, I can't sleep well, and I will naturally make mistakes when I work during the day." β
"A sow dies of illness, and you don't see a few thousand taels, but you can blow it." The little guys are a little impressed.
"What is bragging, a sow, the cheapest is three taels, two litters a year, a dozen litters, pigs can live to at least twenty years old, a total of thirty-eight litters, even if it has only thirteen litters, thirty-eight litters for a total of four hundred and forty-nine, a total of 1,482 taels." Shunhua, who was full of witty words, said in one breath.
"One thousand four hundred and eighty-two taels?" The little guy was shocked.
"Not counting, the sow born by the sow, raised up, can continue to give birth to piglets, the cycle repeats, as long as it does not die, then, what I lost is not a sow that died of illness, but a mountain of gold." Shunhua said with a sad face.
The two guards were also dumbfounded, and for a moment they didn't know if what Shun Hua said was true or not.
They don't know if they were bluffed or not, but anyway, they themselves were bluffed.
That's too good to say.
"Then you're still working here as a coolie, so hurry home and raise pigs, right?" The little guy said excitedly.
"Isn't it sick and dead? The family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and they don't have any money, how can I develop my pig business? β
Before she finished speaking, the little maid grabbed her hand and put down three taels of silver in her palm.
"Don't be afraid, I'll lend you."
"......" Shunhua never expected that the other party would have this trick.
The little guy looked at Shunhua with a serious expression, and said sincerely: "These three taels of silver should be regarded as my investment in your business, and when the time comes, when you earn more than a thousand taels, just share half of it." β
Half of you?
Give three taels of silver, want to divide a few hundred taels?
I ate too much kohlrabi, and I didn't even sleep, so I started dreaming.
"This benevolent brother, thank you for the huge amount of money you gave to the younger brother, but what the owner ordered, I still have to do, tomorrow, I will start my pig breeding uncle immediately." Shunhua took the three taels of silver given by the little servant and swore an oath.
"Huh? Yours? The little guy raised his voice slightly.
Shunhua, who understood it, hurriedly changed his words: "Our pig breeding business." β
"It's good, I want to get the empty wine back, right? Come with me, hum..."The little guy hummed a little song with high interest, leading the way in front, as if the three taels of silver he had invested had already made a profit of several hundred taels of silver.
Soon, they came to the place where the wine was kept, and saw the pile of empty wine outside.
"It's all here, you move carefully." The little guy admonished.
"Don't worry, you won't break these wines." She assured.
"I'm not talking about Jiucheng, I'm talking about you, if you get hurt, who will raise those pigs?" The little guy's tone was very serious.
She was stunned and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely be careful." β
"That's right, remember to go back to the door just now after moving, otherwise, you will be caught by the master in the building, but you will be killed."
"I'll remember."
The little girl looked at her, nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked away from their sight.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the wine cellar in their hands, and quickly stuffed the camouflage coat into the empty wine pendant.
"Miss Yan, is it feasible to raise pigs that you just said?" Guard Lan couldn't help but ask.
"You're interested, huh?" Shunhua smiled and raised her eyebrows.
"It's just a little curious."
Lu Lu also nodded with the Lan guard.
"How can it be so easy to make money, pigs need feed, place, manpower, but also to find buyers, pigs are sick to pay for treatment, if they can't be cured, they will be killed, one is careless, raising a sick pig with plague, the pigs of the entire pig farm have to be slaughtered, and there is no return."
"And you just paid it back?" Guard Lan was surprised.
"Having said that, as long as you are careful to avoid these problems, pig raising can still be profitable, however, there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good and bad luck, no one can avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters, and you have to take risks when doing business, and these three taels of silver should be regarded as tuition." She happily tossed the three taels of silver.
"Miss Yan, you don't want to..."
"Okay, I'll pay him back later." Shunhua raised an eyebrow.
At this time, they had quietly walked into the corridor and went up the stairs, and along the way, a large number of guards in brown and blue clothes patrolled near Rongxiang Building, which was not as lively as imagined, but on the contrary, it was a little quiet.
Oh no, patronizing and trying to find a way to get in, I don't know where the Yanyun Pavilion mentioned in the letter is.
She raised her eyes slightly, just past a woman with a hat.
She turned around and asked, "I don't know where the Yanyun Pavilion is?" β
The woman was slightly stunned, turned her head, and looked at Shunhua who was dressed as a man through the soft white veil.
Silently pointing to the opposite side.
"Thank you, girl."
Although Shun Hua felt strange, he didn't think about it, and walked directly through the corridor and ran towards the Smoke Cloud Pavilion opposite.
"I've arrived."
As soon as the words fell, the two black-clothed men stretched out their hands to stop Guard Lan and Lu Lu, and only Shun Hua entered the Yanyun Pavilion alone.
"Miss Yan?" Guard Lan said nervously.
"You wait for me outside, and if I can't get out of this attic in a stick of incense, you can find a way to inform my husband that he must drink the wine buried under the hibiscus flowers." Shun Hua said meaningfully.
Drink?
The two guards looked at her suspiciously and nodded.
"Then you have to be careful." Guard Lan admonished.
"Don't worry."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the attic closed between the two, leaving the last impression of the Lan guards with Shun Hua's unwavering eyes.
She looked up at the empty attic, the hanging red lanterns swaying from side to side in the wind.
Suddenly, a flash of fire fell in the distance.
The huge paper fish lantern in the middle was lit, and the whole attic lit up.
She was curious at first, but she didn't expect that this big fish lantern would actually spin.
Looking through the top of the lantern, I saw the moon rising on the upper seat.
"Is that you?"
She recognized the white mask and was shocked.
"You are the emperor of Minghua Kingdom?"
"Didn't you think it was me?"
Yue Hengsheng looked at the spinning goldfish lantern, he hadn't even looked at her since she came in.
"The grass people have seen Your Majesty."
"Besides, we've met so many times, you can't imagine that much."
When he said this, his tone was a little lonely, but soon he raised the corners of his mouth and half-jokingly.
"Finally figured it out, do you want to follow me back to Minghua as a eunuch? Little fat man. β
"Your Majesty said that it was funny, the grass people are women, how can they be eunuchs?"
"If you are not a eunuch, you can be an old palace maid."
Old, palace, female?
Shunhua resisted the urge to have green tendons on his forehead and pulled the corners of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, let's get back to business, presumably the princess also mentioned the reason why the grass people boldly made an appointment to meet the monarch of Minghua Kingdom at this time."
"What do you want?"
His voice suddenly became serious.
"The grass people hope that the two countries can establish peaceful diplomatic relations and share a peaceful and prosperous world." Her attitude is very sincere.
"Poofβ"
Yue Hengsheng, who was wearing a mask, smiled crookedly in the upper seat, so serious.
"Hahahaha..."
Maniac laughter suddenly overflowed the entire Smoke Cloud Pavilion.
The woman raised her eyes in astonishment, staring at Yue Hengsheng.
"The grass people don't understand what His Majesty means."
"I'm laughing at your naivety, so naΓ―ve that I don't know what to say." He raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to do, it's not your turn to take care of it, and there is no room for you to take care of it, don't you really think that with just a few words from your heart and a few tears, I will give up what I have been planning for many years?" β
The tall man, dressed in white, stood up and walked towards Shunhua step by step.
"I'm not that wretched waste, I want the world, and he only wants you, that's the biggest difference between us."
"The grass people don't understand, the diplomatic relations between the two countries are related to the community and the people, why would you mention my husband at this time."
"Shut up! Shut up! β
Yue Hengsheng's state was very wrong, he held his head, as if he was a little unsteady.
"He didn't tell you, since he hid it from you, it means that he doesn't trust you at all." He bewitched.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Shunhua took two steps back slightly.
"Your husband didn't tell you that as long as you kill me, he can ascend to the throne and become the emperor of Minghua Kingdom."
Is he crazy?
Her family has no blood relationship with the Minghua royal family, how did she ascend to the throne?
Do you want to sit on the dragon chair? Amusing.
"Your Majesty, don't joke with the grass people."
"I didn't! If he wasn't Aunt Yun's son, I wouldn't have sent someone to assassinate him. β
Shunhua was shocked.
"You sent someone to kill him?"
"What, after knowing the truth, you don't want to talk about it?"
Shunhua clenched his fists tightly, and his joints rattled fiercely.
Looking at Yue Hengsheng in front of her, she knew very well that as long as she punched it, she would calm the anger in her heart a little.
