Chapter 107: The Ruler Behind the Scenes
"So rich, can the royal family not be blushing? How can you confiscate it for your own use? Yu Qing interrupted Xiao Er and asked curiously.
"Oh, you don't think you want to, it's just that you don't have such a big belly, and you can't hold it!"
The little two gods chattered and said: "The person in charge behind this scene not only has an indelible relationship with the royal family, but also has a connection with other countries!" ”
"Someone in power? Who? A light flashed in Yu Qing's eyes, could it be so easy to know the boss behind the scenes?
"Who is in charge behind the scenes, no one really knows, only that there is a jade pendant as a token, but it is not true that I don't know, and their powerful people will not say it."
Sure enough, the truth is not so simple to get your hands on, this little two tells the story first-class, and the suspense is enough, but the mystery is not revealed, and Yu Qing is inevitably a little disappointed, but fortunately, he did hear a lot of content.
"Thank you, little brother, you can get busy." Yu Qing sent Xiao Er away, sat by himself for a while, sorting out the information he had just gotten.
The background of Dingli Commercial Bank is really strong, and even the royal family can't swallow it? Moreover, according to Xiao Er, the jade pendant in her hand is likely to be the so-called token, which makes Yu Qing even more curious about the person behind it.
But such a powerful trading house can almost be said to be rich and rival the country, how could it be related to his father, a small seven-rank official, so that the whole family was wiped out.
After taking a sip of tea and suppressing her doubts, Yu Qing decided to take a look at a few shops under the name of Dingli.
Yu Qing saw a ready-to-wear shop and walked in.
"Childe, what do you need?" As soon as the guests came in, a little girl came forward to greet them warmly.
"Do you have any clothes that look suave and can charm a little girl?" Yu Qing pretended to be frivolous, and stepped forward to tease the chin of other people's little girls.
"Childe himself is a talent, so he naturally looks good in anything, please come here." The little girl looked young, but she spoke unhurriedly.
Seeing that the person was moving, he took a step back without a trace, and took Yuqing to look at the clothes on the shelves on the side under the pretext of taking Yuqing to dodge, and his tone was also calm and respectful.
Yu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, she glanced around, and sighed in her heart, it was really not simple.
Even if he made such a appearance, the people around him were still unmoved, the shopkeeper bowed his head behind the cash register to settle the accounts, the workers carried the goods in an orderly manner, and the handymen concentrated on wiping the ornaments.
Yu Qing didn't say much, looked at a few clothes, pretended not to be in the picture, and left.
After that, I went to several other shops under Dingli, and found that all the clerks were well-trained and performed their duties.
Trying to ask something from such a group of mouths, it was difficult to climb to the sky, and Yu Qing, who had not made any progress, was not discouraged, and decided to go home first, thinking of other ways.
When Yu Qing returned to the temple, it was already Shen Shi, and strange to say, she passed by the temple gate on purpose and found that the two guards guarding there were gone, but replaced by two guards she had not seen before.
"Sunny nobleman!" When the guards saw Yu Qing walk in, they bowed their heads and saluted.
"Brother guard, let me ask, how did you become the two guards today, what about the two people before?" Yu Qing was curious, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Hui Qing noble, the previous two were transferred back to the palace, and they will be guarded by the two of us in the future."
Yu Qing felt that the attitude of these two guards today was very different from the previous treatment of herself, and asked tentatively, "Can I go out in the future?" ”
"Of course, the emperor has ordered that the noble people can enter and leave the Golden Pavilion Temple freely, and we will not stop it." The guards clasped their fists to the sky to show respect for the emperor.
The news of the execution of the other two guards, the emperor also ordered that Yu Qing should not know about it, otherwise the matter of the secret guards would be exposed.
The guards are also very strange, the emperor wants to secretly protect the heart of the Qing nobles, which is obviously an extra favor, and the ordinary concubines will be overjoyed when they know it? Why are you afraid that the noble people will find out.
The guards didn't understand it, their emperor was awkward, worried that Yu Qing didn't want to show it too obviously, after all, Yu Qing hadn't given him any response so far, afraid that she would be disgusted if she knew that she had sent someone to follow her.
In the blink of an eye, could it be that one day in the world, a thousand years on the mountain, this rapid change caught her off guard.
But since it's a good thing, she doesn't have to think about it, in short, she can walk through the main gate of the temple in the future, and she doesn't have to go far from the bumpy path.
Yu Qing saw that it was still early, and decided to go to Xuanyi, who hadn't finished visiting before, so it was better to let him take him around today.
"Little Master Xuanyi, Little Master Xuanyi." When Yu Qing found Xuanyi, he was practicing martial arts with a group of monks in the courtyard.
This is their compulsory class every afternoon, and more than a dozen people stand in a square line, boxing, and passing tricks, which is the same as the students' broadcast gymnastics.
However, it is not the kind of broadcast gymnastics that embroiders the legs, the moves are sharp, punches, and leg sweeps, all of which pass by with the wind, fast and fast.
As soon as Xuan heard someone call him, he turned around and found that it was Yuqing, so he stopped practicing and came out.
"Qing Guiren, what is the matter with the poor monk?" Xuan Yi stood in front of his chest with one hand and nodded.
"Little Master Xuanyi, if you have nothing to do, can you take me to the temple for a walk?" Yu Qing replied with a namaste.
Xuan is not very old, probably because he has been practicing in the temple since he was a child, he is very old and serious, and Yu Qing can think of the evening lotus every time he sees him.
"Naturally, you can, please be noble." Xuanyi said politely.
"Can we not go to any temple, the temple, is there any other place in your temple to see?" Yu Qing really didn't want to look at it anymore and was sleepy again.
Xuanyi thought about it and took Yuqing to the fields of the back mountain, where the monks in the temple had opened up a field and planted a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables so that they could be self-sufficient.
Yu Qing didn't expect the royal temple to be so unpretentious, the crops planted were growing very well, Yu Qing walked up along the ridge, and when she saw a field, her eyes lit up and stopped.
"Little Master Xuanyi, dare to ask the plants in this field, what are you going to do?"
Yu Qing found that there are many aloe vera planted in this field, which grows well and has thick flesh, and after careful identification, they are all dual-purpose aloe vera, which can be eaten and beautified.
"Hui Qing noble, this piece of land was planted at will by the senior brother who was in charge of planting the land before, and this plant he found in the mountains, thinking it was edible, he brought it back, but the senior brother in the dining hall tried to make vegetables, and the taste was not very good, so he gave up, and there are no other crops to plant at present, so he let them grow in the ground first."
"Since you don't need it, can I use it?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Yu Qing's mind, people in this era still don't know the magic of aloe vera, so why don't she make good use of these aloe vera, which are just enough for her to develop and use, to get close to Dingli's internal and find out more information.
Xuanyi didn't know what Yu Qing was doing with these things, so he didn't inquire, but said, "Yes, you can use it." ”
"Xie Xuan, a little master." Yu Qing smiled happily and looked forward to tomorrow.
There are a lot of things going on today, and in order to go down the mountain early to implement his plan, he got up earlier than yesterday.
It is still the first to pray and chant in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and after completion, Yu Qing first changed his clothes in the wing room, and then went to the back mountain vegetable garden.
I picked some aloe vera and went back to the small courtyard, and went to Xuanyi to ask for some bottles and cans and a bamboo basket.
Wash the aloe vera carefully, remove a part of the skin, mash the pulp into a paste, and hit the bottle.
Some of the peeled and sliced ones were put into other bottles, and some of the whole aloe vera was left untreated, and they were directly packed into bamboo baskets with these bottles and jars.
Yu Qing carried the bamboo basket on her back and went down the mountain directly from the main gate of the temple, and after going down the mountain, Yu Qing went straight to a Dingli restaurant.
"Guest, please, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper warmly welcomed Yu Qing into the store.
Yu Qing swept around, the business of the restaurant was good, and said: "Little second brother, I want to see the person in charge of your store, I have a business to do, help spread the word." ”
Hearing that he was not eating, Xiao Er did not show dissatisfaction, and still said with a smile: "Okay, the little one will pass it on, you wait a while." ”
Yu Qing stood in the corner of the cash register and waited, and after a while, Xiao Er came out, followed by a fat and strong middle-aged man.
When the man saw Yu Qing, he said expressionlessly: "I heard that you want to talk to us about business?" What business, let's talk. ”
Yu Qing looked at the person with a body of oil smoke, not like a shopkeeper, but like a back kitchen, and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper?" ”
Xiao Er spoke on the side: "This is the kitchen manager of our restaurant, our shopkeeper is not there, and you and he are the same." ”
Yu Qing nodded, anyway, it was about the kitchen business, "I have some aloe vera here, I can cook, and I want to sell some of your dishes." ”
When the kitchen manager heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he laughed: "Haha, aloe vera cooking? At a young age, I don't know how thick the sky is, can aloe vera be delicious when cooking? ”
Yu Qing's expression was calm, and she ignored his ridicule, people in this era don't know the magic of aloe vera, don't blame them, she will let them see it soon.
"This is natural, not only can you cook, but also delicious and inexpensive, and there is health value, which is good for the body." What Yu Qing said was full of emotion and very attractive.
The steward couldn't help but be curious, seeing that she was so sure, could she really cook? "Empty white fangs, how can I trust you?"
Yu Qing smiled and took the bait: "It's not simple, I'll make one at random for you to taste, and you will definitely have an aftertaste after you eat it." ”
The kitchen is heavy, and ordinary idlers are not allowed to enter, but the steward thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but be curious, so he agreed with Yu Qing's statement, took her to the back kitchen, and let Yu Qing make a dish of aloe vera.
"We are the largest restaurant in the capital, the ingredients are readily available, we can satisfy you with any side dishes you want, but if you can't make a dish that satisfies me, don't blame me for being unkind!" The steward was tall and big, and when he spoke, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and he was very vicious.
"Just prepare a few kinds of fruit, and you need some rock sugar, by the way, honey and ice cubes?" Yu Qing looked up at the steward and asked.
