Chapter 220: Undercurrent (7)

---- in the palace of Wan Guifei

Before entering the palace, Xu Qing arranged the daughters in the palace of Wan Guifei. In the days when Xu Qing was away, several women often came to this palace, and the road was a little more familiar than Xu Qing. At this time, they were all making a big fuss with Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei was itching. In order to retaliate against Wan Guifei's failure to see Xu Qing, she lied, Yingying Yanyan, the flowers and branches trembled, and finally Wan Guifei was defeated, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sisters, hey, hey, slow down, tsk, it's okay, it's okay to call you sister?" ”

Only then did the girls let go of their hands and said, "Sister Wan, who told you to hide it from us?" ”

Wan Guifei scolded with a smile: "You have wronged my sister, this attention is still from the bad boy in your family, not my sister." To tickle, you go and him. ”

The women nodded at the nose of the concubine Wan and said, "Hmph, that's not okay, he is the mastermind, and you are also an accomplice." ”

Wan Guifei begged for mercy again: "Sisters, look, Xu Qing is back with a holographic full shadow." Your stinky boy has a lot of ability, and those who can work hard. ”

The girls sighed and said, "Sister Wan, this is not low, Xu Qing almost can't come back." ”

Concubine Wan was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Xu Qing to really encounter danger. However, today is a good day, and they all took the initiative to avoid this topic and talked about soap.

Concubine Wan Guifei took out a small account book and said to the women: "At the beginning of this month, we sold all the three hundred pieces of soap and took back the account, which is worth 150,000 taels of silver." This silver is enough for the harem for more than a month. Sell it once a month, our harem don't ask for money outside, and there can still be a surplus. ”

Xun Xue'er said: "Eh, Sister Wan, you can't be like this, the money for this soap belongs to all of us, you use it to supplement your harem?" ”

Wan Guifei rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk about taking your money, even if you take my own money, I won't either." As for those women in the harem, the palace can't wait to give a penny. Wan Guifei naturally lowered her voice and said.

Huang Shimei proposed: "These 150,000 taels are also put here, why don't we do something with 150,000 taels?" ”

Wan Guifei's eyes lit up first, she now tasted the fun of "making money by herself", and when she heard Huang Shimei's proposal, she was naturally interested. However, she still shook her head and said, "Sister Shimei, let's get these, it's just like playing, don't be greedy, right?" ”

Huang Shimei lowered her head in interest and no longer insisted. A little bit of relationship with the palace is very beneficial to yourself, if there are too many, it will cause misunderstanding among others. Then buy an industry, and the women can plan it together. After talking for a while, the girls began to prepare lunch. When Xu Qing came back, he hadn't eaten decent home-cooked food. With the help of the pot stove in the palace, the women showed their skills and agreed to eat together in the palace of Wan Guifei.

At this time, Xu Qing had just come out of the imperial study. After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Yuan comforted Xu Qing a few more words, asking him to deal with the Cui family well, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't move for the time being. Dealing with the Cui family? Xu Qing said in his heart, although Li Yuan gave this Shang Fang sword, but Xu Qing also had the ability and courage to cut it. It's just that the Cui family shouldn't have played much of a role in this matter, it's just a scapegoat pushed out by the eldest grandson Wuji. It belongs to the kind of posture of cutting off the little finger of ourselves, and then we clear the money and goods.

Xu Qing also knew that in the face of the stability of the world and a loyal minister, Li Yuan would not hesitate to choose stability. Today's events can make the eldest grandson Wuji lower his head and make some benefits, which is already very face-saving. If Xu Qing wants to tighten B further, it is unlikely that he will win.

It depends on how much benefit the eldest grandson Wuji is willing to make,

Xu Qing walked out of the imperial study, but when he saw a person who hurriedly broke in, he didn't know what trouble had happened in the court.

In Shantianzhuang outside Chang'an City, two sedan chairs stopped at the mouth of Shantianzhuang at the same time, and two officials, one green and one red, came out. In normal times, this green robe saw the red robe, which was to avoid the sedan chair and avoid the horse, but today, the red-robed official stopped first. It's just because this green-robed official came out of Shantianzhuang, and he just wanted to inquire about a little "little thing".

"Liu Shilang, the lower officials are polite." A green-robed official said to another scarlet-clad official: "I never thought that with the respect of the young Sima, I would also come to this field." ”

When the scarlet official saw this person, he couldn't scream, this is the Ministry of Officials. The officials of the ministry can't ignore them in official uniforms and ranks, so he put down the scarlet shelf and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Quancao, disrespectful and disrespectful." Lord Quancao should also know that although this is a field, there are also unicorns running to it. This time, the official came only because of a little thing. ”

The green-robed official laughed and said, "Young Sima doesn't have to go, I just went, and I was also closed." ”

"Oh? Cold shoulder? The scarlet official replied: "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I went to Lord Xu's house and heard from his subordinates that Lord Xu and his wife had already arrived in the palace." The green-robed official said: "I don't believe it either, put down the gift, and came back." But it seems that Lord Xu is really not at home. ”

The scarlet official sighed and said, "How is this good?" Lord Xu went to the palace, could it be ......?"

The green-robed official sighed and said with a smile: "Liu Shilang rest assured, even if Lord Xu is a little impulsive, the emperor will not, he will definitely settle this matter." After all, the person behind it is also a pillar in the sky, and before Lord Xu can't grow into a pillar, the emperor will not really demolish his house. If Lord Xu doesn't go to the palace, he will really be ruthless. But when you go to the palace, it's not necessarily. ”

The scarlet official nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, tomorrow is the court, what is it, we can't stop it." ”

Subsequently, a few more sedan chairs stopped, everyone smiled at each other, and after explaining clearly, they left one after another.

Xu Qing went to the palace of Wan Guifei and found that the women were not there, so he went to the imperial dining room again and saw the women cooking in a small kitchen. The concubines in the palace also often show their cooking skills, so there is this kind of small room separated from the outside. The room was small, but it had everything, and everything was much more elaborate than the outside.

Xiaoyue had a big belly, Xu Qing helped her sit down, and stir-fried the vegetables by herself. After a while, a table of dishes was fried. When it was brought to the palace of Wan Guifei, for some reason, Li Yuan did not come back to eat.

Everyone ate at the table, and the girls didn't need Xu Qing to greet them, so Xu Qing went to Xuanwu Gate. After going out for more than a month, I don't know what the 3,000 people of this Xuanwu Gate have become. Before leaving, the imperial court had already begun to replace with new equipment, and Xu Qing's 3,000 people had the right to choose first. Moreover, after Xu Qing's coke steelmaking was handed over to the imperial court, Xu Qing's thousands of people were still exchanged for steel equipment. Before asking Xu Qing to expand his people to 10,000 people, Xu Qing was really unwilling.
