Chapter 547: Don't Be a Praying Mantis
Under the dense clouds, the sky does not distinguish between day and night.
Chen Fu was waiting for Sun Mingming in a hidden room in the Forbidden Palace, where a pot of charcoal was burned, and he was slightly choked.
When Sun Mingming came in, Chen Fu had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impatience, his round face was still amiable, and his two elephant eyes were slightly bent, and he was kind and shrewd.
"Father-in-law Chen has been waiting for a long time, and I have something to delay for a while." Sun Mingming looked indifferent, as long as it was someone around the third prince, she was polite. In terms of doing small volts, Sun Mingming has done a good job.
"Miss Sun said this can be a pain for the old slave, such a cold day, such a heavy snow, you came in the snow in person, this friendship is really moving." Chen Fu said it sincerely, without looking contrived at all.
Let Sun Mingming listen to it and feel very useful, what Chen Fu's affection refers to, Sun Mingming knows it.
"Grandpa Chen, let's make a long story short!" Sun Mingming shook the snow on her body and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, we can't be praying mantises!" Chen Fuci said with a kind eyebrow and a conspiracy: "Pull a hair and move the whole body, the third prince said, he just wants to be the last person to close his mouth." ”
"Of course I know this, I came to tell you that there is already a praying mantis now." Sun Mingming smiled slightly, and said that she went to see Xu Zhixi.
"Although Xu Guifei is shrewd, it's a pity that she has a stupid niece," Chen Fu also smiled: "They can toss, let's properly ventilate the news, and now the most important thing is not this." If such a thing can bring everyone down, it would be too simple. Recently, I have stepped on two good businesses to ensure that I will make a steady profit. ”
Sun Mingming was also very interested when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what kind of business it is this time?" ”
"Last time, those rags business cleaned up the second prince, and now the managers of the Internal Affairs Office have replaced us with our people," Chen Fu said these things, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously very proud: "The daily vegetables, vegetables, rice and noodles in this harem are the most important, I don't know how your house is doing this business?" ”
"Our family doesn't specialize in this, but it's not difficult to do." Sun Mingming smiled and said: "Whether it is everyone or a small family, whoever is in charge of the money bag has the final say." ”
"Miss Sun is really transparent," Chen Fu said and comforted his thumb to express his appreciation: "Our three princes have no foundation, no backers, if they don't work hard to be strong, how can they stand out?" ”
The backlog of cloth in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was stolen and sold, but it was actually a trap designed by Chen Fu.
He knew that the eunuch, the chief eunuch of the second prince, had brute strength and no brains, and was usually used to being flamboyant, so he pretended to give him a way to get money.
Who would have thought that this stupid dog would go to the wall as soon as he poked it, Zhang Ping didn't dare, but he couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.
There is a particularly key figure in this middle, that is, Zhuang Wen, the former deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Without him, Zhang Ping would not have been able to admit to colluding with Chen Fu, thus making the third prince unjust.
Later, he reversed the water and put the second prince in.
Of course, this Zhuang Wen didn't end well, but he was willing.
The reason for this is, firstly, because there is a special handle in the hands of Chen Fu, and secondly, because he gave birth before entering the palace, and has a son who is now seventeen years old, and he was imprisoned because he accidentally killed someone.
This Zhuang Wen was born as a sinner, but because of his cleverness, he mixed well in the harem.
Chen Fu knew his details, so he promised him to save his son from prison and give his family some benefits to help him do this well.
Zhuang Wen agreed after thinking about it, and exchanged his life for the glory and wealth of the family.
If he didn't do it, Chen Fu would shake out the things he had mastered, and Zhuang Wen would not be able to do it well.
And the buyer of this piece of cloth happened to be the person arranged by Sun Mingming's father, in order to obtain direct evidence.
Now the Sun family and Chen Fu have teamed up to control most of the business of the Internal Affairs Office, and both parties have made a lot of money.
"By the way, Gonggong Chen, how are the three princes these days?" Sun Mingming asked shyly.
She hadn't seen the Third Prince for several days, and when she heard Chen Fu mention him, she couldn't help but ask him about his current situation.
"Of course, the third prince is very tired of studying hard every day, but the girl doesn't have to worry, the third prince is a genius, and he will never be as weak as that one." Chen Fu smiled and said.
Sun Mingming knew that the one he was talking about was the crown prince, who had been weak since he was a child, and he would get sick if he was a little heavier in school.
But because he is the eldest son, most of the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court support him, so even if Xu Guifei was favored before and had four princes, he could not shake his status.
"The girl will be able to go out of the palace in a few days, and then please tell Ling Zun what I just said, we have discussed it before the New Year, and we will leave the goods when the spring begins." Chen Fu said: "By the way, there is also this, it was the third prince who asked me to pass it on to you." ”
Chen Fu handed over a small velvet box, and Sun Mingming happily took it, but did not open it, but put it in her sleeve.
After saying goodbye to Chen Fu, Sun Mingming returned to her residence. Because of the dim light, candles were lit in the house.
Sun Mingming took out a few maids and opened the box under the lamp.
I saw a red bean inside.
The price of this red bean is not worth a copper plate, but in Sun Mingming's eyes, it is not worth a thousand dollars.
Wei Yining was imprisoned for a day and a night, during which no one came to see the emperor because of her, whether it was the harem or the previous dynasty.
It's not that they don't care, but they are all waiting.
Wait for the results of the preliminary interrogation, wait for the emperor's clear attitude, and who else is involved.
"Miss Wei, it's time to eat." The grandmother who was in charge of guarding Yining brought the rice, only a bowl of gruel and a plate of pickles.
"Thank you!" The look on Wei Yining's face was the same as usual, without the slightest timidity or haste.
She put down her book and walked to the table, but she was in no hurry to eat.
She carried a small wooden cage containing a mouse that she had caught from under the bed the day she first entered.
A few grandmothers have long been accustomed to it, and Wei Yining will take out some of each meal for the little mouse to eat before every meal.
It's probably because she's really bored, so she raises the rats to play.
The rat was scared to death when it was first caught, but later it became apparent that there was no danger and that it was fed much better than if it had foraged for food on its own every day. So it only took more than a day to get used to life in the cage.
Only this time after eating the rice porridge and pickles that Wei Yining gave her, she suddenly became impatient.
Keep making chirping noises and then run around the cage desperately.
Wei Yi lowered his eyes quietly, and said in his heart that he was really unable to hold his breath.
