Chapter 200: Suspicion
Liu Pearl knew in her heart that Liu Zhengdao sent her to the Queen Mother on a whim, and it was impossible to say how much father-daughter affection there was.
In this palace, she only relies on the Queen Mother.
Thinking about it like this, she could only step forward and say: "Shopkeeper Lin doesn't say anything else, this craftsmanship of making balm is definitely the first in the capital." The affirmation given to the Queen Mother is also the best of the best. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said slowly, "I thought your relationship was not good." ”
Liu Pearl smiled: "What did the Queen Mother say, Zhu'er is a frequent visitor to Tianxiang Building, and she just thought too much about it just now." Shopkeeper Lin is so rich, how could he make such a low-level mistake. ”
There is no problem with this, thinking that Liu Pearl just put forward her own ideas, and it seems that she did not deliberately target Lin Jiujiu, and her original opinion on her was also a little weaker.
The Queen Mother also smiled gently: "That's good, then Lin Jiujiu was originally going to marry into the Yuwen family, and she made such a great contribution, so it's up to you to help the mourning family reward her." ”
Liu Pearl was about to vomit out a mouthful of blood, and let her reward Lin Jiujiu definitely make her unable to sleep for a few nights.
But her words had already been said in advance, and she could only respond with a smile.
Before he left the gate of Ci'an Palace, he heard that Lin Jiujiu had turned around and came back.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Sure enough, she is in business, and this shrewd energy is afraid that the mourning family will not be able to do it without her reward." Although it was a complaint, he did not listen to the meaning of the complaint in his words.
The father-in-law who came to deliver the message shook his head: "Back to the Queen Mother, Miss Lin didn't come to Ci'an Palace, she followed General Yuwen to the imperial study." ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, and for a while she couldn't figure out what Lin Jiujiu meant.
Over there, Lin Jiujiu followed Yu Wenhao to the imperial study, and Fang Anran stayed outside.
It's not the first time she's been here, and she's familiar with it, so she walked in when she got the message.
Gong Yichen also wondered, they didn't just go out of the palace gate, why did they come back in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lin Jiujiu knelt down respectfully in front of him and took out what he had been keeping in his sleeve before. The father-in-law immediately handed it to Gong Yichen's case.
He glanced at it at a glance, then slapped the board and praised: "Lin Jiujiu, it's a pity that you are just a daughter!" ”
What Lin Jiujiu did was to use the original resources of the government to make it convenient for merchants. The premise is that those merchants are in the service of the royal family. In this way, merchants can save a lot of costs in dealing with the government, or in other words, these expenses do not need to go through the hands of those officials in the middle, and directly go into Gong Yichen's pocket.
In this way, the merchant only belongs to the emperor, and his status has improved, not to mention, as long as he runs well, even his income will be better than before.
And the reason why she came up with this method is also because Gong Yichen has always had a heart problem, that is, the queen mother's family is in business. If it weren't for the support of the Yuwen family, he wouldn't have been able to ascend to the throne, so the status of the Queen Mother's family has been improved, and it is also a good thing for Gong Yichen to raise his eyebrows.
The news soon reached Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother clung to the armrest of the chair, but her slightly trembling body revealed the excitement in her heart.
In the past twenty years, if it weren't for her own means and the favor of the emperor, she would have been eaten by people because of her low status, and now as long as the decree is issued and the status of the merchant is improved, she can also hold her head high.
"Double the appreciation of Lin Jiujiu for the main palace."
Liu Pearl almost lost her soul out of Ci'an Palace, she never thought that Lin Jiujiu's luck would be so good, she originally thought that entering the palace would make her immortal and shedding her skin, but she didn't want her to come up with this idea, which not only won the favor of the emperor, but also won the love of the queen mother.
In a daze, he bumped into Fang Anran, who was in a good mood and came out for a ride.
Fang Anran glanced at her, he was in no mood to talk to her, so he wanted to go straight through, but was pulled by Liu Zhuzhu.
"Lord An Ran, have you forgotten that I was kind to you before?"
Fang Anran originally wanted to leave, but when she said this, she didn't want to leave. The originally expressionless face suddenly burst into a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten." ”
Liu Pearl didn't see the deep meaning in her smile, and thought that Fang Anran was telling the truth: "Since that's the case, can you help me?" ”
Fang Anran suddenly laughed: "Liu Pearl, your kindness to me before was nothing more than giving me something I already had, and how much I helped you have forgotten?" The year before last, you annoyed the county lord Zhaoran, and it was I who mediated to save you from prison. Last year, your uncle's cousin had an accident, and I begged my cousin for help. Besides, if my cousin is not Yu Wenhao, you ask yourself if he will be good to me? ”
Willow pearl has pale lips.
Fang Anran concluded: "So, you owe me so much personal debt, it's good that I didn't let you pay it back, as for the things you gave me, I have also returned them to your house in their original form, speaking of which, you still owe me more, how do you want to pay it back." ”
"I ......," Liu Pearl couldn't answer.
"Liu Pearl, I don't want to say anything more to you, anyway, my Anran is just a word, if you want to enter Yuwen's house, there is no door!" After speaking, he didn't look at Liu Zhuzhu, turned his head and left.
Liu Pearl was so angry with her, but there were eyes everywhere in the palace, and she was afraid that her actions would reach the ears of the Queen Mother, so she could only hold her breath and leave.
Lin Jiujiu and Yu Wenhao walked out of the imperial study together, but Fang Anran, who was waiting outside, disappeared.
She was wondering when she saw Fang Anran walking over with a smile on his face.
"What's the joy of smiling so well?"
Lin Jiujiu was also infected by her smile and asked with a smile.
Fang Anran told him what he had just met Liu Zhuzhu, and then said, "Cousin-in-law, didn't you see her expression at that time, you really laughed at me." ”
The smile on Lin Jiujiu's face disappeared: "Enron, this person has a lot of thoughts, it's better for you to be careful." ”
Fang Anran nodded: "Don't worry, after all, I have been with her for so many years, and I am measured." ”
Hearing her say this, Lin Jiujiu stopped talking.
The queen mother's reward came down quickly, and Lin Jiujiu was not interested in those porcelain at all, after all, those things could not be sold when they were in their hands, and it would be a disaster if they were smashed. But for the jewels and fields, as well as the reward of 1,000 taels of silver, Lin Jiujiu was very happy.
She knew that the meaning of the Queen Mother's reward was nothing more than letting her contribute to her mother's family by the way. Lin Jiujiu didn't know that the Queen Mother's maiden family was also a businessman, but now that she knew, she naturally had to have a good relationship, so she immediately packed a gift and sent it to the Queen Mother's maiden Song's family.
