Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Four: Despicable
Niangniang means to ask the concubine to take this opportunity to enclose more land? Isn't this a loss-making deal? Why did the mother do this? ”
Fang Ting asked in surprise when she heard the calm words.
Calmly shrugged his shoulders: "Land will not be a loss-making transaction at any time, and even if it loses money now, it will never continue to lose money." ”
"Fang Ting doesn't understand what Niangniang means." Fang Ting said.
"I will pay for the land, you will do it, and rent the land you bought to the landless peasants at a cheap price to plant, the more land the better, and the more you rent out, the better." Calm and slow voice.
Fang Ting smiled dumbly, Niangniang, she obviously doesn't have a business mind, where is this business, it is clearly charity.
"Fang Ting, to be honest, we haven't known each other for a long time, I may not fully understand you, I will be skeptical if I leave this matter to you to do, but I don't have much time to think about candidates, and my actions are not free, I can only choose suitable ones among these people I can contact.
I value you and want you to do it, and if you have objections, you can quit. "Calm and serious countenance.
Fang Ting hesitated for a moment, knelt down in front of her, and looked resolute: "Fang Ting originally served the mother, leading the horse and pedaling, but the mother was the first to look forward." ”
Calmly helped her up: "I said that I am a friend, so why bother, if I succeed one day, you will be indispensable." ”
"Niangniang, the concubine doesn't dare to bow, I just ask that Niangniang can marry me and Changmao, so that the two of us can be together openly." Fang Ting said, her voice whimpering.
"Yes, it will, you will be able to make your wish come true." Calmly patted her on the shoulder and said softly.
"Niangniang, what the concubine said is not false, the concubine has a business book in her heart, and she has never been humane to outsiders, so I will tell Niangniang now to win the trust of Niangniang."
Fang Ting said again.
"Okay, sit down and talk, this palace listens." Calm down.
Fang Ting sat on the edge of the couch and talked calmly.
She said at length, what is the interest rate non-performing rate retention rate, Nan You, who was standing on the side and waiting, was confused, she looked at the master, but saw that the master listened with relish, and interjected two sentences from time to time, and then Fang Ting nodded very convincingly.
Nanyu went out to fetch hot water.
She didn't expect that the master was still a master of business, Fang Ting's father was the richest man in Jiangnan, it was not unusual for her to know how to do business, but the master was also proficient, which was really amazing.
Thinking of the powerful space that rescued Guan Yong and Sima Nan just now, Nan You almost wanted to worship her as a god in the heavens and the earth.
When she came back with hot water, Fang Ting had already left, sitting calmly in front of the bookcase, writing something with a pen, Nan You leaned over to look, only to see a pile of ghost drawings, couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and said with a smile:
"Master, what are you writing here, you can't write words, you can't draw."
Calmly looked up at her, and said with a smile: "This is an arithmetic word, I will teach you when I have time, it is more useful than reciting those four books and five classics." ”
Nanyou poured her a cup of tea and said enviously: "Master, your background slave knows it, when did you learn these miscellaneous things?" It's really a shame for others. ”
"As long as you want to learn, you can learn at any time, you see Fang Ting, although her father used it as a tool to give to officials, but she didn't give up on herself, but used her free time to learn a lot of business experience, even I admire her mind and means." Calm down.
Nan You pursed his lips and shook his head: "Master, you know people and faces, you don't know your heart, how long have you known her, and you dare to instruct her to do things for you, if she goes to tell the truth, won't the master be passive?" ”
"I'm not stupid, the hostage is in my hands, she just wants to tell the truth, and she has to think about it." Sigh calmly.
"Hostages? What hostages? Nanyu asked puzzled.
"Nan You, you are still young, you have never really loved a man, if one day you really fall in love with a man, you will understand the feelings of me and Fang Ting.
Fang Ting, as the wife of the magistrate, couldn't hide her love for Zhu Dayi when she saw me for the second time, and let me see the clues, which shows how sincere she is to that man.
As long as Zhu Changmao is in the palace for a day, she will never betray me. Calm said a little sadly.
Taking Zhu Changmao away was a helpless move, and she also wanted to trust Fang Ting completely, but the repeated painful facts told her that it was better to be cautious with someone she didn't know at all.
Fang Ting is a smart person, and she has already heard the meaning from her words, so she knelt down so simply, agreed so neatly, and even recommended herself to say a set of business scriptures in order to win her favor.
Taking advantage of a woman's love in this way makes Calm feel guilty and feel extremely guilty, but she has no other way to think about it.
There are very few people she can come into contact with, and this opportunity to leave the palace was only obtained by her at the expense of harming another concubine.
In the future, such opportunities are afraid that they will be even rarer, and if she wants to prop up the business empire of her dreams, she must choose to take risks.
She knows that this is very dangerous, but in such a life, if she doesn't take risks, what capital can she win?
She had already made a desperate bet on everything, including her eyes on people.
She is optimistic about Fang Ting and bets that her vision will not be wrong.
Just after lunch, he was about to take a nap, but Dayong said back and forth that Zhu Changmao was outside asking to see him.
"He's coming fast." Calmly got up from the couch, smiled bitterly, put on his shoes and sat down on the chair, and summoned him in.
Zhu Changmao walked in with a melancholy face, knelt down in his clothes, and kowtowed heavily.
"Come on, these false courtesies are all waived, don't talk about the past, don't blame the ignorant, at that time in your medical hall, you didn't know the identity of this palace." Calm called him up.
Zhu Changmao stood up and said with a sad face: "Niangniang, the emperor told him that he is discussing the new policy with Lord Liao, and he can't come over to accompany Niangniang to eat and rest, and ask Niangniang to take care of herself." ”
"I know, please ask Dr. Zhu to talk." Smiled calmly.
"The emperor also wants the grass people to come over to check the pulse of Niangniang, confirm whether she is really cured, and if not, prescribe a few more doses of medicine." Zhu Changmao said again.
"That's enough, Doctor Zhu, you and I are both medical practitioners, whether there is a disease in this palace or not, we all know it, if there is anything, just say it directly, don't beat the corner." Calm down.
Zhu Changmaofu knelt down again, and said in a dumb voice: "Niangniang is wise, she can see through the hearts of the grass people at a glance, in front of Niangniang, the grass people don't dare to lie, the grass people don't want to go to Beijing with the emperor, let alone enter the palace as a royal doctor, ask Niangniang to be gracious, let the emperor take back his will." ”
Calmly laughed and shook his head: "Since the emperor has made an order, how can I take it back as a concubine?" Promotion and knighthood is a great joy in life, why don't you want to? ”
"The grass people have unspeakable secrets, and it is really inconvenient to become an official, so I ask my mother to be fulfilled!" Zhu Changmao kowtowed.
smiled calmly and coldly: "Zhu Changmao, I don't want to know what kind of enmity you have with me, but if I tell the emperor the fact that you want to kill me in the morning, you won't even have a chance to live." ”
Zhu Changmao's body was shocked, he shuddered, his face turned pale, and he defended in a trembling voice: "Why did Niangniang say this? The grass people were ordered to see the illness with the mother, and saw that the mother was unconscious, so they applied needles to save each other, how can they harm people? ”
Calmly sighed: "You forgot, I can see Xi'er's symptoms at a glance, so where will my medical skills be worse, you seem to have no problem with the needle, but the problem is that if I don't wake up in time, as long as you insert the silver needle on my wind bone point down another three inches, I will die in my sleep." ”
The sweat on Zhu Changmao's face flowed down like a rain, and he didn't say a word.
"Doctor Zhu, when I woke up, your hand had already pinched the needle on my wind bone acupoint, whether to pull it out or insert it, only you know in your heart?" Calmly asked coldly.
"Niangniang is too worried, the grass people just want to pull out the needle." Zhu Changmao wiped his sweat, twisted his neck, and replied with a humming voice.
"Since you don't tell the truth, then follow the palace back to Beijing until you are willing to tell the truth." Calm down.
Zhu Changmao glanced at her with a desperate expression.
"Don't look for clumsy ambitions, I have promised Fang Ting that I will ask the emperor to give you a marriage, on the condition that you return to Beijing with the palace." Calm and said.
Zhu Changmao's face was full of despair, and some expectations rose up, slowly kowtowed to her, and said in a dumb voice: "The grass people obey the order, so go back to pack your luggage and return to Beijing with your mother." ”
Calmly wave his sleeves and let him out.
Nanyou sent him out of the door, and when he came back, he didn't look very good-looking, and muttered softly: "Master, are you crazy, you know that he wants to kill you, but you still have to take him with you." ”
"Nanyu, don't you wonder why he killed me?" Calmly asked.
Nan You pouted: "Arrest him, serve him with a big board, ask while fighting, don't believe him and don't say it." ”
"He won't say it, he knows that I know medical skills, but he poisoned me in front of the emperor, it can be seen that he has already put life and death out of the way, how can he let him tell the truth after a few beatings." Calm down.
Nan You was stunned and sighed: "Then this is strange, he and Niangniang have only known each other for a few days, you have always been in the palace, he has always been here, how can you have a deep hatred?" A miracle indeed. ”
"It's not a strange thing, it's just a reason worth playing, I killed three people on this trip, who is this Zhu Changmao avenging?" Calm as if talking to himself.
Nanyou bit his lip and looked sad: "Master, you haven't killed anyone. ”
"But all he can know is that I killed someone, and I'm really curious about his reasons." Calm down.
"Could it be that Zhu Changmao's love is not Fang Ting but Guan Yong at all, he is avenging Guan Yong? You're really a little wronged, master. Nanyu sighed.
"Could he be avenging Xi'er? Xi'er is not Guan Yong's child, but his daughter? He muttered calmly, his eyes full of anticipation and longing.
Nan You smiled dumbly: "Master, you think too much, since some things have happened, you should accept it slowly, Sima Nan The woman he loves is not you, this is already an indisputable fact, why do you repeatedly find reasons for yourself to try to forgive him, to expect the result that is impossible to come again." ”
calmly lowered his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "Maybe you're right, I just think too much, and I still refuse to admit the fact that he doesn't love me."
I don't want to do this, but if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to keep myself alive, I'm tired with every step I take now, and if I don't find a reason for myself to go on, I won't be able to go on, even if it's one more day, I don't want to go on. ”
