Chapter 161: Getting Rich Overnight
This performance seemed to completely spoil Emperor Jianxi's good mood in the morning, he waved his hand to let everyone go down, and only he and Huang Chongde were left in the huge Heart Cultivation Palace.
Looking at the long curtain blown by the wind not far away, Emperor Jianxi suddenly spoke, "You said yesterday that if King Gong went to the Hu family, it would show that he was upright in his heart and had nothing to do with this matter...... Do you still think so? β
Huang Chongde's face did not change, "The slave still thinks so...... The slave can only think so. β
Emperor Jianxi glanced at Huang Chongde meaningfully,
After a moment, he raised an eyebrow slightly and muttered, "Well, it's time for this matter to come to an end." β
β¦β¦
In the Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling looked at the documents handed by Qinglian and exclaimed, "So many, isn't it wrong?" β
"That's right, the slave remembers it really, it's four catties and two taels."
Bai Ling calculated in his heart, one catty is equal to sixteen taels, and four catties is sixty-four taels...... Then the bird cage sent by Lin Jieyu is sixty-eight taels of gold.
Bai Ling gently hugged the birdcage, and when he realized it, he realized that he had already laughed.
Lin Jieyu's shot is too generous, and the so-called overnight wealth is nothing more than that......
"But the masters also said that this figure is just an estimate. In addition to the gold, there was also some gold-plated wire in the cage - because if it was all gold, the cage would be too soft and easily deformed. They have estimated the number based on experience, and they have already subtracted the weight of the wire. Qinglian said with a clear look, "If Si Yao wants to know the exact gold content of this birdcage, they can retest it another day, but the means will be more complicated on the premise of not destroying this birdcage, and their recent construction period is relatively tight, so they may not be able to take this kind of work......
Qinglian looked at Bai Ling, who was smiling in front of her, and felt as if she wasn't listening to herself.
Qinglian asked with some uncertainty, "Bai Si Yao?" β
"You go to the Guangchu Division again," Bai Ling looked up and said directly, "Tell them that you can melt this birdcage directly and weigh it again, and it doesn't take so much trouble." β
"Huh?" Qinglian was stunned, "Melted?" But this is Lin Jieyu sent, sent ......"
Bai Ling played with the golden cage, "Say whatever you want, don't stop talking suddenly." β
But the second half of Qinglian's sentence was still stuck there, and it took a long time to stammer, "...... This is evidence that Lin Jieyu humiliated you, if this is melted...... How else are you going to find someone to administer justice to you? β
Boling: "Huh? looked at her a little inexplicably, "Lin Jieyu humiliated me...... Who told you that? β
"Everybody...... That's all ......" Qinglian faintly felt that she shouldn't say any more, but since Bai Ling asked, she had no choice but to answer stubbornly, "They said that Lin Jieyu sent a cage for raising larks, and they were humiliating Si Yao, you are just a bird raised by the concubine for viewing and fun......"
"Oh." Bai Ling was unmoved, "Anything else?" β
Qinglian glanced at Bai Ling secretly, and saw that she didn't seem to have any waves, and there was no sign of anger, so she said with some trepidation, "Hmm...... They also said that you are still afraid of the medicine after all, otherwise why don't you throw things out like the first two times; Some people also say that you probably want to take care of the overall situation, and don't dare to make things too stiff when your mother is away...... By the way, andβ"
"Okay," Bai Ling sank the corners of his mouth, "you don't have to say any more, anyway, you remember, no matter what kind of statement is spread outside, you don't care." Now, you just need to take the birdcage and go to the Guangchu Division again, so that they can melt the birdcage as soon as possible, and I will use this thing in a hurry. β
Qinglian stayed there again, "Urgent? β
Bai Ling got up and knocked lightly on Qinglian's head.
She used to think that this girl was a little pretending, but later found out that her temperament is probably like this - dull with a little unturning simplicity, which belongs to the kind of classic cannon fodder who usually can't survive two episodes in palace fighting dramas if she doesn't get the heroine's script.
Dealing with her was fraught with her, as some of her ill-conceived actions would cause obvious trouble.
But Bai Ling thought about it all night, and still decided to throw an olive branch to this maid who took the initiative to approach him.
If a girl seems innocent and stubborn, but she always does things that are too "clever" or "coincidental" - such as seizing the opportunity when there is no one in the palace and talking to the concubine on the grounds of her deeds; For example, when Chuxiu Palace came to make trouble, he ran into the east side hall and shouted out - then this is probably not a real "coincidence"
Or this person's naivety and stubbornness are fake, or there is something else hidden, but no matter which one it is, if you don't really put her around, you probably can't see it really.
"It's gold, silly girl." With a somewhat helpless look, Bai Ling urged, "Don't ask so much, you can go quickly." Also, from the time you leave the door of this east side hall to the time you come back for a while, in addition to explaining your work to the masters over there, whoever talks to you along the way in the middle must keep your mouth shut and don't talk to anyone, remember? β
Qinglian nodded with doubts, and then took the blue and white cloth to wrap the golden birdcage again, turned around and walked out, and when she went out, she just collided with Bao Yuan, which caused Bao Yuan to scream.
Qinglian wanted to say sorry, and remembered Fang Cai Bai Ling's order to "not speak", so she had to bow and retreat desperately, and then ran out of Chengqian Palace as if she were flying.
"Stop!"
Hearing Bao Yuan's voice, Bai Ling stood up and welcomed her into the house, and explained a few words to Qinglian who was far away. Bao Yuan was not really angry, and eased up in a few words.
It was only then that Bai Ling realized that her eyes were bloodshot and a little swollen.
"I'll come to the east side hall to sleep for a while, and when the evening comes, you call me up," Bao Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "I stayed up all night last night, and I'm really sleepy now......
Bai Ling looked at her strangely, "Are you also on night duty in Xianfu Palace?" β
"Of course I don't have to be on duty all night," Bao Yuan yawned, walked to the window with half-lowered eyelids, stepped on each other and took off his shoes, and threw himself on the bed, "...... But my mother didn't sleep all night, so how could I go to the side to rest? Besides, Grandma Shu really couldn't survive yesterday, so I had to survive. β
Bai Ling thoughtfully, "So Niangniang also stayed up all night last night." β
"Yes, and Concubine Ning is the same, the two of them sat in front of the little prince's cradle and talked all night." Bao Yuan's eyes had closed, and her voice gradually weakened, "I really haven't seen Niang Niang talk so much to anyone for a long time......"
Bai Ling walked to the side of the bed and leaned over to twist the quilt for Bao Yuan, just as she used to twist the quilt for herself.
"Rest well." Bai Ling said softly, "I'll call you in the evening." β
β¦β¦
However, when Bao Yuan's eyes opened again, it was completely dark outside.
It's never evening.
"Boling?" She pressed her eyes, "Are you there?" β
The room was dark, and no one answered.
The maids outside heard the sound and quickly walked in, the lights in the east hall turned on, and the palace maids stepped forward slowly, "The slaves and maids are waiting for Sister Baoyuan to change clothes......
"Is the mother awake?" Bao Yuan turned over and got out of bed, rinsed his mouth briefly, and pressed his face slightly with a hot towel, "Who is the person who is taking care of Niangniang over there now?" β
The palace people replied in a low voice, "Oh, Niangniang specially left you a message, saying that she went out for a trip, so you don't have to worry." β
"Get out?" Bao Yuan seemed to have heard something strange, "Where did Niangniang go?" β
"I said I was going to the Imperial Garden to relax......
Bao Yuan's whole body froze, and she only felt her blood buzzing into her brain, "Did she go by herself?" Who is following? Why don't you call me when you go out!? β
"Sister Baoyuan, don't worry!" The palace people hurriedly reassured, "It's true that I went to relax, and Niangniang also brought three or five people out of the door together, and by the way, there was also Bai Si Yao, and Bai Si Yao also went with him." β
