The royal funeral is also really troublesome, and Yehan has been busy.

Ruan Qingzhi was bored after sending Luan Zhongcheng away, so he simply took a carriage out of Qingwang's Mansion and went to Jumozhai to squat for an afternoon.

By the way, I moved my wrist and earned 10,000 taels of silver, and I gained countless sycophants, which was beautiful.

In the evening, Ye Han hurried on horseback, and saw the old man Qiwu standing on the counter with one foot on a stool, counting the silver tickets with the guys, smiling brightly, as if the word "money" was written on his face, and he did not have half of the style of a master in the painting world.

"It's, it's so cheesy!" Ye Han held back a smile and made a sad look, and walked in with a sigh.

Ruan Qingzhi walked up to him with his hands behind his back and asked, "How can I be good?" 'There are no cities in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow are even in the desert'? ”

Ye Han had already smiled when she saw her like this, but when she finished speaking, she smiled again, and a little worry appeared between her eyebrows.

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at him: "I heard that there is another snow disaster on the northwest border?" Is there enough food and cotton clothing for the soldiers? ”

Ye Han frowned and sighed, "You don't need to think about this. ”

"But you have to think about it," Ruan Qingzhi took a half step back and avoided his outstretched hand, "If my expectations are correct, this year the imperial court will deduct the military expenses of the Northwest Army for various reasons, and it is even possible that it will not give you a penny." ”

Ye Han's face was slightly gloomy, and then he smiled again: "You really understand." However, you don't need to worry about it. Previously, because I 'died' well, my father was quite sympathetic to the Northwest Army, and he had sent 200,000 stone of grain over in the winter, and winter clothes were also prepared. Although it is a bit troublesome to have a snow disaster now, it is a matter of border tranquility, and my father will not be ignorant of the seriousness. ”

He said these words quickly, I am afraid that they were not improvised thoughts, but they had been thought about in his heart a long time ago, and even repeated countless times.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer, still looking at him.

The more he thought about it, the more it showed that he had no bottom in his heart. She doesn't know if the emperor knows the severity of it, she only knows that the wind and snow in the bitter cold land will kill people, and if the cotton clothes and quilts are sent a little less and a day late, someone may never wake up again.

Ye Han will definitely do his best for this matter, and he is very sure that he can win. But can he afford to wait?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Han's gaze to begin to dodge, and the smile on his face quickly faded.

Ruan Qingzhi suddenly smiled, took out a stack of silver tickets and shook it in front of his eyes, triumphant: "When you look at it now, do you still think it's vulgar?" ”

Ye Han looked at the smiling face through the gap in the silver ticket, and soon followed suit: "Not bad." There is nothing more elegant in the world than this! ”

Ruan Qingzhi casually patted the silver ticket to him: "If it's good, take it!" This is 120,000 taels, how much is missing, you tell me! ”

Ye Han looked down at the silver ticket in his hand, and was stunned for a moment: "You...... When did you save so much? ”

Ruan Qingzhi was so stunned that his tail was about to rise to the sky: "It's very good!" I'm an old monster in Qiwu, and writing a few words is money! ”

Ye Han smiled, stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "I won't shirk this time, the old monster Qiwu should also cherish his feathers, don't do such a thing in the future." ”

"I didn't do anything bad!" Ruan Qingzhi immediately pushed him away, "You don't think I stole this silver, do you?" ”

Seeing that she was about to jump up at any time, Ye Han hurriedly reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said with a smile: "No." I mean, don't work so hard in the future, and don't use your own money to fill holes in others. The military expenses in the northwest are the responsibility of the imperial court, and even if I try to completely turn my face with them, I will ask for a lot of money. ”

Completely turning the other cheek with the imperial court is about to rebel.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "That's good, don't forget to thank me when you get the money, I didn't marry you to be poor!" ”

"Understood!" Ye Han laughed, picked her up, and rushed out of Jumo Zhai.

Behind him, the shopkeeper Song and the guys looked at each other: So, our Miss Biao worked so hard to earn money in order to save the Northwest Army?

This hasn't gotten married yet, people have posted it, and money has also posted it, isn't it a big loss?

No, you have to tell the old lady quickly, you should stop it!

Here, Yehan carried Ruan Qingzhi all the way to the carriage, which immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't feel shy, and generously lifted the curtain and poked his head out to greet people, until the night was cold and noisy, and told the coachman to avoid the main road and take the path back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the curtain was lowered, Ruan Qingzhi squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Han: "Don't take the main road, copy the path?" You say, is there some conspiracy? ”

Ye Han Zhengse replied, "Yes." ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately came to his senses: "Say, what do you want to do?" Slip away? Murder and arson? Kill me and throw my body? Or - what are you doing to me? ”

"You're enough." Ye Han looked helpless, "Can you think of something normal?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately continued: "It's normal for me to think about this!" Your image is the kind of person who will kill and set fire at any time, and it is not strange that you do any of the things I just said, if they are in order...... No, it should be done next to each other in reverse order, which is also very reasonable! ”

Ye Han thought about it silently in his heart, and found that he really couldn't answer the phone, so he had to sit in the corner with an expressionless face, looking very weak and helpless.

Ruan Qingzhi rarely saw him like this, and suddenly he was in a better mood, and he threw himself at him again with a smile.

Ye Han was so frightened that he dodged again and again: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" I'm going to see someone in a while, and I'll be there soon! ”

The expression on his face was very serious and serious, and at the same time he showed a little nervousness that could not be concealed, like a little daughter-in-law who was molested by a bully.

Before Ruan Qingzhi could bully him, he had already laughed on his shoulder.

Ye Han had to reach out and hug her, both to prevent her from moving and to prevent her from falling, which was very hard.

Thankfully, the carriage came to a halt quickly. Ye Han breathed a long sigh of relief, hurriedly kicked the car door with his toes, and held Ruan Qingzhi's shoulder and urged: "The carriage can't stop for too long, get out of the car quickly!" ”

As soon as Ruan Qingzhi looked up and saw that it was a very secluded alley, he was immediately shocked: "What kind of place is this?" You can't stop the carriage if you're sneaky...... You're going to sell me? ”

Ye Han took a deep breath, grabbed her waist with one hand and clamped it under her armpit, jumped out of the carriage and stepped into the door in two steps, and the door closed instantly.

The sound of the wheels outside the door was far away, as if it had never stopped.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the two gates and was still stunned, Ye Han had quickly put her down and stomped her feet on the spot.

"What kind of ritual is this?" Ruan Qingzhi was surprised, and immediately after standing firmly, he stomped on the ground twice in his style.

Ye Han rolled his eyes at her, and then smiled bitterly.

Why stomping? Because I want to kick her but can't, what else can I do except kick the ground?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this truth. This little girl is the kind that the more she talks, the more unreasonable she is, if he dares to complain that she gets out of the car and rubs it off, she may dare to refuse to get out of the sedan car at the wedding!

Ye Han quickly convinced himself, and when he thought of the "big wedding", he took the opportunity to quickly adjust his mood, and happily took Ruan Qingzhi's hand: "Come, take you to meet our brothers in the Northwest Army!" ”

By this time, the people in the house had already come out. Ruan Qingzhi looked at the men who were tall, short, fat and thin, and had a great age difference, and then looked at a few stakes used for martial arts training in the courtyard trees, and was a little stunned.

Ye Han saw her doubts and explained: "I also brought back a few people who live here for a long time from the northwest, and it may not be possible to go into battle to fight, but they have their own strengths and tricks, and they are very useful." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice roared: "I don't like to hear this, why can't we go into battle to fight?!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was frightened by this voice, and hid behind Ye Han.

The man who spoke scratched his scalp and looked embarrassed.

Ye Han reluctantly took Ruan Qingzhi out and introduced: "This is Cheng Hu's second uncle, you can just call him Uncle Cheng." He just has a loud voice, but he is not fierce, don't be afraid. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was still afraid, and pulled his sleeve and refused to let go.

A soft voice next to him said: "I just said that Uncle Cheng had better talk less, how can it be good to frighten other little girls!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought it was a girl when she heard this voice, but when she looked back, she turned out to be a swarthy man, and couldn't help laughing.

Lao Cheng also laughed along, deafeningly.

Ye Han was a little helpless, and naturally reached out to help Ruan Qingzhi cover his ears.

Lao Cheng and the others suddenly stopped laughing, and they all came up to look at Ruan Qingzhi, as if they were looking at some rare object.

Ye Han introduced the black man Zheng Lao Liu and the thin man Wu Lin to Ruan Qingzhi, and then pushed Ruan Qingzhi in front of everyone and solemnly introduced: "This is what you have always wanted to see, Lord Qingyang." ”

"Princess?!" Lao Cheng exclaimed in a thick voice, "What a princess?" No...... Is the princess really so big? Master, how did you manage it?! ”

"Shut up!" Ye Han glared at him angrily.

Several people next to him laughed in unison.

Lao Cheng scratched his scalp a little embarrassed, Ruan Qingzhi frowned and asked, "Uncle Cheng, with such a loud voice, are you really not afraid of being heard and exposed by bad people?" ”

A few people next to him looked a little surprised, and Ye Han explained: "The people living near here are the families of the soldiers of the Northwest Army, so they are not afraid of being exposed, as long as they prevent people from coming in and snooping." If it weren't for that, a rude person like Uncle Cheng, I really wouldn't dare to let him in. ”

"Hey!" Lao Cheng was immediately unhappy, "That's not the case, right?" I dare to raise my voice because I live here, usually outside, am I bad for you because of my loud voice? ”

"Yes!" Several people behind him spoke in unison.

After saying that, they scattered and fled backwards as quickly as they could.

Lao Cheng turned around as if he wanted to chase, but in the end he didn't take a step, and looked back at Ruan Qingzhi with some embarrassment: "Look at this...... Let the princess see the joke! ”

Ye Han shook his head and led Ruan Qingzhi into the hall, and everyone hurriedly followed, the thin man Wu Lin smiled and hesitated: "Master, the latest military report: Our tent has indeed been collapsed a lot, and the new bastards insisted on saying that the treasury is tight and has not allocated funds, and they have pressed tens of thousands of blankets in the treasury and refused to distribute them, forcing our soldiers to squeeze in!" ”

When it came to business, everyone solemnly stood up and showed indignation.

The black man Zheng Lao Liu made a look of eyes and tried to make Ruan Qingzhi avoid it, but Ye Han pulled her to sit beside him, and said calmly: "This is also expected. But now we don't have to put up with it. Since he wants to take the lives of his brothers for power, let him first nourish the desert with his blood. ”

Wu Lin was taken aback: "What do you mean...... Kill? ”

"Kill." Ye Han's expression was flat, "The treasury is tight and has not allocated funds, and it is common for a few people to die when the snow storm collapses the tents." ”

Everyone chattered and discussed, and Zheng Laoliu hesitated: "Those dogs were originally there to control our Northwest Army, so it's better to kill them early." It's just—"

Ye Han continued: "So we were wrong before. We thought that since he wanted to control it, he would at least try his best to save the lives of the soldiers, so we also looked forward to saying a word for the Northwest Army when they encountered war and disaster. Now it seems that he is reluctant to send the existing materials, do you still expect him to help the Northwest Army ask for any benefits from the imperial court? ”

Zheng Laoliu was speechless, and sighed for a long time: "This snow disaster ......"

Ye Han took out the silver ticket and handed it over: "Send the message back immediately, kill those lackeys first, and the existing tent quilt should still last for a while." Nowadays, the biggest problem is grain and grass, and many people are sent to take these silver in their hands to requisition all the way in the northern provinces, and they must be sent to Anbian City before the end of the year. ”

Wu Lin took the silver ticket and glanced at it, and was shocked: "Master, you robbed the account room of the household department?" ”

"What a mess!" Ye Han slapped the table, "Go and do something!" ”

Wu Lin jumped and ran out, and Lao Cheng and the others rushed over in surprise and asked nonsense.

Ye Han raised his chin to Ruan Qingzhi: "Ah, the rich man is here!" ”

"Wow!" Lao Cheng let go of his throat and shouted, "It turns out that our master sold himself for the silver......"

Zheng Lao Liu and the others rushed over to cover his mouth, and the noisy and shouting became a mess.

Ruan Qingzhi propped his chin on the table with his hands, and looked at Ye Han seriously: "120,000 silver to buy you, am I losing or earning?" ”

Ye Han leaned on the table like her and said, "Whether it's a loss or a gain, you can only admit it." ”

Ruan Qingzhi stepped forward with a smile and hugged his face: "I never make a loss-making business, and I'm not stupid!" ”

"Whew-" Zheng Lao Liu, they suddenly exclaimed in unison not far away.

Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly retracted his hand and glared at Ye Han angrily.

Ye Han felt very innocent, but everyone gathered around him and sighed:

"Our lord is so shrewd! Before, he was only in the north, but he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Beijing, he would find such a wealthy, good-looking and capable daughter-in-law! ”

"Yes, if we had half of the master's ability, we wouldn't be fighting singles now!"

"Die, you, what's the use of having the ability, do you have such a good-looking face as our grandfather?"

"So they're rich women......

Ye Han couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Are you enough!" What are the nerves today? Are people going crazy? ”

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, hummed and stopped, some were busy doing things, and some were smiling and smiling in the room, looking like thieves.

Ruan Qingzhi got up with a smile and pulled Ye Han's sleeve: "Maybe it's because I'm here, everyone is uncomfortable." Did you bring me here to show me a clear way? Now that everyone knows me, I can go. ”

"There is another thing," Ye Han grabbed her, "Princess Qing is clamoring to see you, can't you see you?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately frowned: "She? ”

Ye Han nodded: "The brothers found a family affair for her, and said that they would send her to marry when the eldest brother passed the first seven." She wiped her neck and hanged herself here, saying that she wanted to see you again. ”

"Then we'll see you," Ruan Qingzhi looked at the sky, "It's still early anyway." ”

When Ye Han heard this, he led her out of the hall through the back door, and turned around to a hidden courtyard, and there was actually a dungeon below.

Ruan Qingzhi was shocked: "I didn't see it, His Royal Highness King Li, your Northwest Army is also an underworld force in Beijing!" ”

"Well, it's darker than you think." Ye Han replied sullenly, asked people to open the prison door, and led Ruan Qingzhi in.

It's not as clammy and cold as you might think, but the smell of dirt is a little eerie. Ruan Qingzhi said as he walked: "You guys are quite benevolent, and you let her wait until the first seven." Do you think if they had killed you then, would they have let me wait until the first seven to remarry? ”

Ye Han said in a deep voice: "In the end, it is my own flesh and blood." They are unkind, and I cannot be unjust. ”

Before the words fell, a shrill female voice inside shouted: "Bastard! You still have the face to mention the word 'benevolence and righteousness'! You don't have to die well! You're short-lived! You deserve to die a clean ......."

Ruan Qingzhi was startled, and then reacted: "Could that voice be Princess Qing?" Is it you being scolded by the 'bastard'? ”

Ye Leng hummed: "Anyway, my eldest brother and I are brothers, even if I am a bastard, I am also in the same nest as my eldest brother." ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed.

Princess Qing's scolding paused, and then the sound of chains sounded again: "Who is here?" It's the little vixen here, isn't it? You little prodigal hoof......"

Ruan Qingzhi smiled, grabbed Ye Han's hand and walked in slowly, sighing: "Who am I, it turned out to be our gentle and graceful Princess Qing?" Tsk, I don't know how long you have been decorating your old man's home to be virtuous? More than ten years? Or more than thirty years? Is this an exposure of nature now? ”

"You!" Princess Qing dragged the chain and ran to the front of the iron fence, a pair of eyes appeared in her messy hair, and she stared at Ruan Qingzhi viciously: "You really dare to come!" ”

"I dare to come." Ruan Qingzhi looked at her calmly, "King Li and I just came back from King Qing's Mansion not long ago. You can rest assured, His Royal Highness King Qing is lying peacefully in the coffin, and the girl lying in the coffin next to him is also very beautiful when she was alive. Your three children are very well-behaved, but they are tired of kowtowing to people all the time, and they eat a lot for lunch, and the doctor is very worried that they will be able to eat. ”

Princess Qing gradually quieted down, and after she finished speaking, she came back to her senses for a while, and asked in a hissing voice over the iron railing: "What else?" Have you drunk Sister Lian'er's medicine? Brother Rong loves to eat persimmons but can't eat more, do you know the newly sent grandmother? Rangore's new cotton shoes ......"

She cried before she could finish speaking, grabbed the iron railing and slowly slid down, and sat on her knees.

Ruan Qingzhi's expression was indifferent and unmoved: "Don't worry, the newly sent grandmother was personally selected by the queen mother, and she must be dedicated." ”

Princess Qing's face showed joy, and she raised her head: "Lord Qingyang, you have a kind heart!" If you are willing to risk your life for the people of Yangcheng, and you are willing to do your best for my poisoning, I know that you are a good person! Can you do it for the sake of my three children......"

Ruan Qingzhi interrupted without waiting for her to finish: "You don't have to worry, it's a good thing that those three children don't have parents." They will soon be crowned kings and mansions, and soon they will have better maids and grandmothers to serve, and they will soon forget that they once had a pair of disgusting parents with evil hearts. As long as they are willing to be good people, their future is infinitely bright. ”

Princess Qing heard that the meaning of her words was wrong, and immediately stood up with the iron railing: "What do you mean?" You won't help me? You're going to let people hurt my child? ”

Ye Leng said coldly: "As long as you are honest, this king can assure you that your child will live well for the rest of his life." ”

"No!" Princess Qing shook the iron fence desperately and screamed: "Why should I listen to you! Why should I be 'honest'! Obviously, you ruined King Qing's Mansion! You have killed Your Highness, and you have lost your conscience! ”

Ruan Qingzhi's brows furrowed more and more, and she sighed: "It seems that she doesn't plan to reflect." Then follow the original arrangement and let her get married. ”

"Married?!" Princess Qing was shocked, "I won't get married!" I'm a princess! I am a member of His Royal Highness King Qing, you can't ...... You can't abuse me with such a disgusting man, you can't! You might as well kill me! ”

Ruan Qingzhi leaned against the wall and looked at her coldly, not answering.

Princess Qing looked at her through the railing, shaking her head and crying for a while, obviously frightened.

Ruan Qingzhi was always unmoved, but turned back to chat with Ye Han: "What kind of family did you choose for her?" It doesn't matter if you're old or ugly, but try not to choose too bad, I've heard that some men in the folk will beat their wives, and some beat their wives to death just because they couldn't give birth to a son, and there are those who give birth to daughters and deliberately drown to give birth to sons! ”

Princess Qing suddenly collapsed and cried: "I was wrong! Lord Qingyang, I was wrong! I shouldn't have calculated for my Highness, and now I know I was wrong! My Royal Highness doesn't dare to miss you, and he won't dare in the next life! Will you let me go? Even if you kill me, don't marry me off! I am Princess Qing, if I marry an old and ugly pariah, how can my children have a face in the future......"

"It's easy to admit mistakes." Ruan Qingzhi said coldly, "Who wouldn't admit a mistake on their lips?" I'm long past the age where I can easily trust others to admit mistakes. ”

She turned around and pinched Ye Han's sleeve: "Let's go." Tell the people below to treat Princess Qing better, after all, she still has to get married. ”

Ye Han followed her around without hesitation, and Princess Qing was so anxious that she shouted behind her: "I have something to tell you!" Third brother, His Royal Highness King Li! I have a secret to tell you, will you spare me! ”

"This king has never been a secret." The night chill does not stop at all.

Seeing this, Princess Qing was even more anxious, and she stretched out a leg from the gap in the iron fence in a panic, as if she could squeeze it out. At the same time, he opened his throat and roared: "You'll want to know!" That secret, about Your Majesty! Seventeen years ago......"
