Chapter 493: Raising Donations for Quartermasters

Originally, Nalan Jin thought that it was a few servants in the house who were wide fans gathered together and were greedy for sex.

If you have the right eye, pick a suitable time, or if there is any big joy in the house, you will only have a word with Nalan Jin, as long as she nods, she will give them some silver to make them a family.

It's not the first time Nalan Jin has encountered such a thing, every time she encounters such a thing, Nalan Jin knows that in the near future, there will be another couple of newcomers in the house.

Therefore, Nalan Jin didn't care too much.

However, it is a bit strange for two women to talk together. So Nalan Jin paid more attention to it.

Next to the kitchen is the back door of Nalan Mansion, and the back door here is to buy things for the kitchen in the house, and someone usually sends it from the back door.

Convenient and hassle-free.

But this convenience is not only good for the kitchen, but also for those with bad intentions.

There are people at the back door every day, and there are many people coming and going, so even if a stranger appears in the house, it will not arouse the suspicion of the people in the house.

"You are too bold to dare to come to Nalan Mansion so blatantly?" Shen Caiyi looked around in surprise, worried about being seen.

"Don't worry, at this time, Nalan Mansion has no time to take care of the things here at the back door, the front yard is on fire, and I don't have the heart to be distracted." Peony said with certainty.

Shen Caiyi also knew in her heart that Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi had been entangled in some things recently, and they lacked skills.

But he didn't know what was holding him back, Shen Caiyi also wanted to do his best to know the details, but Nalan Jin and the people around Dongfang Yi were tight-lipped about it.

Shen Caiyi tried hard, but couldn't get any clues.

"What happened in the house recently, I can't find any news." Shen Caiyi couldn't wait to know.

"You don't have to worry about that, you just have to remember and do what I say." Peony is mysterious.

"Do you know something?" Shen Caiyi looked at the peony's expression and knew that the matter here was not simple.

"In short, you remember, Dongfang Yi will soon be yours alone." Peony patted Shen Caiyi's shoulder, "It seems that someone is coming, I'll go first, remember what I said." ”

Peony seemed to sense that someone was watching nearby, although she didn't see anyone clearly. Avoid being seen, so it's better to go first.

Shen Cai was stunned for a long time, and he didn't react to the sound of the peony.

Watching Peony leave, Shen Caiyi stood in place and thought for a long time, feeling that everything was like a dream, coming too fast, and feeling like a dream bubble, unable to grasp a little real sense of existence.

"Girl, so you're here." Chunlan hurriedly walked over.

Shen Caiyi packed up her emotions and calmed down, "What's the matter, how do you usually tell you, don't panic when you encounter something?" ”

"Yes, girl, I inquired that something seemed to have happened to my uncle." Chunlan struggled to find out.

Shen Caiyi immediately panicked after hearing this, no wonder Peony would say something like that, it turned out to be like this.

She ignored Chunlan, but hurried to find Dongfang Yi, worried that Peony would ignore him.

Nalan Jin hid aside, listened clearly, and watched carefully.

They were clearly premeditated to frame Dongfang Yi and frame Nalan Mansion, and their purpose was obvious.

Hearing something surprising for a while, Nalan Jin forgot to come to the kitchen to make pastries, Dongfang Qi finally couldn't stay up, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Dongfang Yi came back from the dynasty and looked decadent, and he locked himself in the study without eating a bite of food.

The next day, Peony determined that Dongfang Yi was excluded from the court, so he sent the maid next to him to send news to Shen Caiyi.

"Master, let me tell you, something has happened in the palace recently, so you can do everything you can to create chaos in the palace, so that they don't have the heart to understand the things in the palace." The maid held the shelf and ordered Shen Caiyi in the same way as a peony.

After reading the letter brought by the maid, Shen Caiyi said that she didn't know much about the content of the letter.

"What does this mean, I didn't explain a word, just instructed me like this, do you think I will listen to her arrangement?" Shen Caiyi was a little angry, but in fact, she was more worried.

She was worried that Peony was taking advantage of her worries about Dongfang Yi and taking the opportunity to harm him.

"You can choose not to do it, the master said, unless you don't want to see Dongfang Yi again, then you can choose not to listen to her arrangement." The maid has a strong attitude.

"I ......" Shen Caiyi hesitated, "Okay, but you must promise me not to hurt Dongfang, otherwise I won't let you go." ”

Shen Caiyi knew that Zhao Wenlu and Peony had always wanted to deal with Nalan Mansion, and they tried their best to help her, just to get their own interests.

The intrigue in officialdom has always been life and death, and Dongfang is no exception, so Shen Caiyi said ugly things in front of her, also to give Peony a piece of advice, although she doesn't have the ability to call for wind and rain, but she can still do it.

"I'm just in charge of delivering the news, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell the master directly, but I advise you to think clearly, threatening the master you won't have any good results."

For Shen Caiyi's warning, the maid did not take it to heart, but instead taught Shen Caiyi a lesson, to know how to judge the situation, don't touch the stone with an egg, otherwise in the end, only eggs will be broken.

In the next few days, Shen Caiyi tried his best to make a little movement in the house, and even deliberately had a quarrel with his subordinates, and even named Dongfang Yi to deal with Nalan Jin.

But at such an hour, Nalan Jin didn't want to interfere at all, especially when it came to Shen Caiyi, and Dongfang Yi ignored her in order to avoid suspicion. and leave these matters to the steward.

Nalan Jin saw that Dongfang Yi was always absent-minded recently, and every time she came back, she felt that she had been greatly wronged outside, but she didn't know how to speak, as if she didn't want her to worry.

Thinking of what she heard Shen Caiyi conspire with others a few days ago, Nalan Jin was even more sure that Dongfang Yi's depression must be related to that incident.

"Cui'er, the people in the mansion have woken up a little recently, and all strangers entering and leaving Nalan Mansion must pay close attention, especially the things sent in must be verified one by one to ensure that they will not be mixed with other things." Nalan Jin's careful arrangement and orderly layout.

"Okay, I'll clean up the house and let people watch." Cui'er made the bed neatly.

"Nope! You go in person, otherwise I don't worry, and now there is no one in the house who can be trusted. Nalan Jin looked at Cui'er seriously.

Although Cui'er didn't know what was going on, she knew that this matter was extraordinary and needed to be handled cautiously when she looked at Nalan's nervous eyes.

"Okay, I'll go and watch it myself." Cui'er nodded affirmatively.

Dongfang Yi went to Shangchao early and came back very late. Nalan Jin settled Dongfang Qi and fell asleep, and sat in the house and waited for him to come back.

When she was tired of waiting, she lay on the table and squinted for a while, worried that she would fall asleep, so Nalan Jin put it under the candlestick, and the wax oil dripping from the candle burning made her wake up.

Let Cui'er brew a few pots of strong tea, and I can't remember it clearly.

Looking at the brightly lit and occasionally flickering candles in the house, Dongfang Yi knew that the people in the house had not rested.

"Didn't you say you didn't have to wait for me to come back when you didn't sleep so late? Recently it was more please, and I will come back late. Dongfang Yi gently pushed the door open, but he still scared Nalan Jin, who was half-asleep.

Nalan Jin suddenly stood up in shock, and saw that it was Dongfang Yi's familiar figure, so he relaxed his vigilance, "I'll look at the account book again, it's okay anyway, I'll go and let the kitchen prepare the meal." ”

"No need, I've eaten outside." Dongfang Yi organized Nalan Jin in time.

Looking at the dry skin at the corners of Dongfang Yi's mouth, and the fact that there was no smell of alcohol on his body, he knew that he didn't go to socialize, and he must have something in his heart that he couldn't eat, so he would be worried.

"Okay, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Nalan Jin didn't debunk it either.

Dongfang Yi couldn't feel any hot mouth while drinking tea, and Nalan Jin looked anxious.

After a long time, Nalan Jin thought about it, and still told Dongfang Yi what he heard, "Did something happen to Chaoshang recently, I heard something about you." ”

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense, it's just that there is a rebellion in the south, everyone is worried, and the emperor is also anxiously ill, as a member of the court, I can't be alone." Dongfang Yi comforted Nalan Jin lightly.

"That's good, I'm just worried that someone will use this matter to frame you, or bribe the people in the mansion to deal with you." Nalan Jin implicitly reminded Dongfang Yi.

"Don't worry, I'll take notice. It's just that now there is a rebellion in the south, there are a lot of people who have fled, and officials everywhere are writing to demand that the rebels be destroyed, but they need armaments and supplies, and you know that the treasury has long been empty. ”

Dongfang Yi couldn't help but be worried when he mentioned this matter, as a minister, he couldn't share his worries for the king, and he felt ashamed of the emperor's grace.

Nalan Jin just silently persuaded him beside him to relax.

When he got up in the morning, Nalan Jin asked someone to find out the valuable things collected in the house and count the quantity, and also took out the money from the workshop and counted them one by one.

Dongfang Yi was awakened by a cacophony of sounds.

"Jin'er, what are you doing here?" Dongfang Yi came out in thin clothes.

"I took some things that I didn't use in the house and sold them for some silver, which was a mistake for military supplies." Nalan Jin commanded everyone, "Tap." ”

"You do this......" Dongfang Yi was a little ashamed.

"Our husband and wife are one, and I can only help you with this, you go and mobilize the officials in the court and ask them to donate money, so that a big problem will be solved." Nalan Jin took a deep breath and said.

Dongfang Yi gratefully hugged Nalan can, under his persuasion, the officials also donated, and the old emperor's eyes were red and swollen when he heard about it.
