Chapter 169: Borrowing Money
"Heart......
Mu Qing only felt that everything in front of him was a little blurry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was so dry that he couldn't do it.
"Water ......"
"The third princess is awake!" The palace maid who had just come in saw that Mu was awake, and hurriedly poured tea for Mu Qing to drink.
After drinking a glass of water, Mu Qing felt that he had come to life, and it was a strange environment as far as the eye could see.
However, the palace maid in front of her is dressed only by female officials in the palace, and she should still be in the palace.
"Where is this? What about the heart? ”
Mu Qing was a little apprehensive in her heart, in such a strange environment, and there was no familiar person, she always felt panicked.
"The third princess is talking about your handmaid, right? She's going to give you the medicine. ”
Mu Qing opened his mouth to ask why he was here, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't ask.
After all, I'm not familiar with it, so let's wait for Xin'er to come back.
Fortunately, Xin'er came back soon, and when she saw that Mu Qing had finally woken up, tears were falling.
"Niangniang......" Xin'er held the medicine in her hand, and cried one by one, "I'm scared to death......"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, didn't I wake up?" Mu Qing hurriedly said.
Waiting for Xin'er to calm down, Mu Qing took the medicine in her hand and drank it, and asked about the situation by the way:
"Why am I still in the palace, didn't I kneel in the queen's palace before?"
The last thing she remembered was that the queen was punished by the emperor, and she couldn't remember anything else.
"Niangniang, you fainted, you still have a fever, and you have been in a coma for two days, but fortunately, Niangniang, you are fine."
Xin'er felt fortunate when she thought of the situation in the past two days, but fortunately, Mu Qing was okay in the end.
"Two days?" Mu Qing was stunned, even if he had a fever, he wouldn't be in a coma for two days, right?
However, it seems that it is not impossible to think about it, after all, ancient medical skills are not as developed as modern ones, and most diseases can only be drunk with traditional Chinese medicine, and there is no need to think about any antibiotics.
"And where am I now?"
Mu Qing looked at this room, the furnishings were very exquisite, it was definitely not an ordinary palace person's room.
"In Chen Guifei's side hall, I originally wanted to send Niangniang out of the palace, but Niangniang's fever couldn't go down at that time, and it was cold outside, so the imperial doctor said that it was best not to move first, lest the wind blow and become more serious, Guifei Niangniang brought Niangniang back, and called the female official to come over to take care of Niangniang."
Chen Guifei, Mu Qing nodded, wanting to ask something more, but couldn't think of it for a while, so she simply shut up.
"I heard that the third princess has woken up!"
Chen Guifei's voice came from outside, Mu Qing looked at the door, and just saw Chen Guifei coming in with someone.
With a faint smile on her face, Chen Guifei walked over and pressed Mu Qing, who was about to get up and salute:
"No need to be polite, you're still sick, take care of your body first."
Mu Qing was not reluctant, the sequelae of high fever, she was in pain all over her body now, and the whole person felt light.
"Thank you for taking care of you for these two days."
Mu Qing looked at the concubine in front of him seriously, no wonder the emperor favored her, she was really good-looking.
Chen Guifei smiled slightly: "Don't thank me, you can recuperate with peace of mind in the past two days, the third child went to Yuezhou, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”
"The Third Highness went to Yuezhou?" Mu Qing's voice was two points higher.
She finally knew what she had forgotten, she had forgotten to ask Bailichen!
The two of them usually pretend to be affectionate and loving, but now that she faints and is sick like this, shouldn't Bailichen care about her?
That's not right, didn't the prince go to Yuezhou for disaster relief? Why did Bailichen go too?
Chen Guifei took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "Yes, I'm going to help the disaster." ”
Mu Qing wanted to ask, but he couldn't help it again, and talked with Chen Guifei for a while.
Mu Qing's mind was a little dizzy, and he sent Chen Guifei away, and then he grabbed his heart and asked:
"Why did the Third Highness go to Yuezhou? Isn't it the crown prince who is the one who provides disaster relief? ”
Xin'er has been busy taking care of Mu Qing in the past two days, but she hasn't paid much attention to these, but after all, she lives in the palace, so she naturally heard a lot of people:
"I don't know, I just heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about disaster relief, so he let the Third Highness go down."
Mu Qing just woke up, and he didn't have much energy, so he said that he knew.
I drank the medicine and fell asleep again, and it was already afternoon when I woke up again.
Princess Jade and Bai Lihong happened to come over to see Mu Qing, and the three of them said without a word, and Mu Qing only then knew what had happened in the past two days.
The prince cried about poverty every day, saying that the money for disaster relief was not enough, and the court and China quarreled over whether to take the money or not.
The emperor also knew that the treasury had no money, so he hesitated and did not express his position, which made the court and China more and more noisy.
The turn of events happened after Mu Qing fainted, and a victim from Yuezhou beat the drum.
Beating the drums was to kill the mighty stick, and the killing rod hit twenty times, and the whole person was dying, holding on to his last breath and saying that he had sued the prince.
It probably means that the prince is corrupt, and the entire Yuezhou is a hundred miles away because of his floating corpse!
This is serious, the court and the central government exploded all of a sudden, some people don't believe it, of course, most of them believe it, and the excerpt of the impeachment of the prince flew in front of the emperor like snowflakes.
The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect his son to be so unreliable, and he personally summoned several victims from Yuezhou, but he listened to their opinions on the crown prince.
The emperor was so angry that he immediately asked someone to go to Yuezhou to see the situation, and then allocated 20,000 taels of silver to Bailichen, asking him to take the money to the disaster relief and take a look at the situation by the way.
"The third brother is also unlucky, disaster relief is not an easy life......" Bai Lihong was quite sympathetic to Bai Lichen.
Disaster relief is not easy to do, and it is even harder to go halfway to disaster relief.
Especially...... What is 20,000 silver enough?
Don't underestimate disaster relief, the culture in it is big, and the soup soup is very particular, too rare.
Mu Qing remembered that in the history books she had read in her previous life, it was said that the standards for disaster relief were clearly recorded in the laws of each dynasty.
"I don't know what's going on with Brother Prince's side."
Princess Jade was very worried, after all, the prince was not too bad for these younger brothers and sisters.
Mu Qing didn't know what was going on with the prince, but Mu Qing knew that his heart was raised.
If the disaster relief is not done well, it will kill people, and when the emperor counts it to Bailichen, he will affect her again......
Mu Qing trembled, it's terrible, she hasn't lived the life of a rich woman yet, why is she going to die?
"Third Highness...... It should be fine, right? Mu Qing cautiously tested Bailihong.
Bai Lihong shook his head: "I can't tell, I hope the third brother will be fine." ”
These words made Mu Qing even more sad, the good days didn't pass for two days, but they were going to affect her!
Mu Qing didn't sleep well all night, and his mind was full of thoughts about it.
So the next day, she got up early in the morning and went to say goodbye to Concubine Chen, saying that she was going to leave the palace.
Chen Guifei cared for a few words and rewarded some things before letting her go.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Xin'er looked at Mu Qing, who turned over the cabinet as soon as he came back, and his heart jumped.
Mu Qing found all his silver, calculated it, and exchanged it for 20,000 taels of silver tickets.
That's a lot of money!
Mu Qing was a little sad with this little money: "Xin'er, where do you say I can get more money now?" ”
After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "If you want to say that the richest person is still Miss's maternal grandfather......"
Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he felt that it made sense, so he immediately asked Xin'er to pack his luggage, prepare the carriage, and they went to Yuezhou.
Xin'er was so scared that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't help it when he saw Mu Qing's insistence, so he could only pack it up, take the silver and go to the money village to exchange the silver ticket, and then go to the evening house.
Of course, Mu Qing couldn't ask for money from Master Wan, so she went straight to Wanguan's courtyard.
Wanguan was so happy when she heard that she was coming, and before she could open her mouth, she was pulled by the furious Mu Qing and asked directly:
"Wanguan, do you have any money?"
"Huh?" Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded after reacting, "Yes, what's wrong cousin, do you want money?" ”
"Is it okay for me to borrow money?" Mu Qing blinked and looked at Wan Wan.
Wan Wan was a little hairy by her gaze, but still nodded: "Of course you can!" How much are you going to borrow? ”
"Hmm...... 100,000 taels ......" Mu Qing looked at Wanguan with some embarrassment.
Wan Wan looked at Mu Qing with wide eyes: "Cousin, what are you doing with so much money?" ”
100,000 taels is not a small amount.
Mu Qing saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said:
"I'm going to Yuezhou, the Third Highness has gone down for disaster relief, I'm going...... I'm going to help him, the poor are rich, it's always right to get more money! ”
This will also deceive Wan Wan, after all, she can't directly say that she is afraid that Bailichen will not be able to provide disaster relief, and it will affect her when the time comes.
"You're going to Yuezhou?" Wanwan's whole person jumped up, "I'm afraid it's very dangerous in Yuezhou at this time, cousin, you don't know, the homeless people are ......"
"I know I know, I'm going to protect myself, but now I don't have much money." Mu Qing was a little frustrated in the end.
Wanwan was a little entangled, hesitated for a long time before entering the house and turning over a year, took out a small wooden box and handed it to Mu Qing, and called a maid to whisper a few words.
Mu Qing opened it and saw that there were some silver tickets, as well as a lot of golden peanuts, and there were about 50,000 taels when he counted them.
Rich people are just different!
As soon as Mu Qing finished counting the money, a middle-aged man came in, and Mu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw Mu Qing who was losing money.
But he quickly reacted, stepped forward to say goodbye, and handed the account book in the hand of the little guy to Wanguan.
Wanguan signed and drew the mortgage, and the account room collected the account book, and then took the silver ticket from the hand of the little guy and gave it to Wanguan.
Wanguan didn't hesitate, and gave it to Mu Qing directly: "Cousin, you take it!" ”
"Thank you, little cousin!" Mu Qing was almost moved to cry, she would give so much money when she said it, and she remembered this love.
Mu Qing said a few words to Wanguan and then said goodbye, and rushed to Yuezhou with people.
But Wanguan was a little hesitant, she paid 50,000 taels from the public school, which is not a small amount.
Dad and brother will definitely find out, and they will definitely ask her when the time comes, how will she explain?
Before Wan Wan could figure out how to explain, Master Wan had already learned about it from the account office, and asked someone to come over and ask Wan Wan to come over for questioning.
The late master got straight to the point and asked directly: "You gave the money to Qing'er, did she say what to do with the money?" ”
Wanguan is not a person who can lie:
My cousin said...... said that she was going to Yuezhou to help His Royal Highness, she was worried about His Royal Highness, but she didn't have much money in her hand, so she asked me to borrow some. ”
