Chapter 142: Longing
Mochizuki Tower, sitting calmly on the ground, looking at the city wall in the distance, the whole person looks like a sad statue.
Xiao Chunzi climbed up with her clothes, saw her, and said with a grin: "Niangniang, it's okay, the procurement office of the Imperial Hospital has collected the silver from Hengyuan Pharmacy, and sure enough, I went to Hengyuan Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, and all our new batch of astragalus have been sold."
My brother praised Niangniang for being a god, and he could not predict the prophet and know that the palace would use high-grade astragalus, and this one in and one out, he earned hundreds of silver. ”
"Did the astragalus soak it in the powder I gave according to my wishes?" Asked him with a calm smile.
"Xiao Chunzi does things, Niangniang just rest assured, according to what you ordered, a trace of good soaking." Haruko smiled.
There was a touch of emotion in his calm eyes, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Haruko, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" ”
Xiao Chunzi smiled: "If the mother wants to harm the spring child, she will not save the spring child that day, and now the spring son family has the grace of the mother, as if she has become a big family, the life of the spring child is the mother of the mother, the mother wants the spring to do whatever the spring son does." ”
"The eldest brother is really a good trader, he will look at the timing, this batch of medicinal materials comes in time, and sells well." Calmly divert the subject.
Haruko smiled smugly.
"Haruko, has the eldest brother ever thought about opening a bank?" Calmly asked him.
Xiao Chunzi chuckled and shook his head: "Master, is that a job that we can do, I'm not afraid that you will be angry, let's leave the money in our hands early." ”
"Let the eldest brother understand the details of the bank, and after a year and a half, let's get one, with high interest rates and temptation, pull deposits, and expand their own business." Said calmly and seriously.
Xiao Chunzi looked at her seriously, and swallowed: "Master, are you serious?" ”
"Of course it's serious, the troubled times are gold, the silver is prosperous, isn't it the prosperous times now? It doesn't hurt to buy and sell bigger and make more money. Calmly said.
"Since the master said so, then the little one will tell the eldest brother to go to the money village to find a job, and explore the way first." Koharuko is colorful.
Calmly pointed to the strict burden tied around him: "With these today, there are fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver saved these days?" ”
Xiao Chunzi shook her head and sighed: "My foolish mother, your memory is really convincing, not to mention these today, there are already 96,000 taels, Niangniang took 1,000 taels, and Haruko has 95,000 taels here." “
Calmly grinning, she really doesn't remember.
Recently, she has been a little anxious for quick success, and she can't wait to conjure up tens of millions of fortunes overnight, so that she can use it as she wants and take revenge as she wants.
She is too slow to turn silver, when will she have the wealth of the country? Therefore, she wants to open a bank, and she is not afraid of a crash, because of her special function, as long as there is no run, the bank will not be in danger of going out of business.
She needed a lot of wealth, not to make the dynasty prosperous, but to bury it.
"Niangniang, if Haruko asks something that shouldn't be asked, why did Niangniang move to Miaoyin Temple to live? Is it awkward to have trouble with the emperor? The palace was crazy, saying that the mother had offended the queen and was punished to the temple to think about it. Koharuko asked cautiously.
smiled calmly, Guan Rong's secrecy work was done quite well, and the middle hall really raised a group of loyal talents, and he didn't show the news after being beaten, but publicized such a set to the outside world to strengthen his momentum.
No matter what Lizi loses, at least on the outside, she wins.
"It's nothing, but I'll move back in a few days after thinking about it." Calm didn't want to explain, so he said.
"Niangniang take care of herself, if you can use Haruko, just let my sisters call me." Haruko laughed.
He nodded calmly and looked at the city tower in the distance.
Seeing this, Koharuko lifted her burden, said goodbye softly, and went downstairs quietly.
This kid is sensible, very good at observing words and feelings, and knows that he is calm, and he doesn't want to be disturbed, so he leaves.
Calmly moved her eyes to his back, feeling sad in her heart, she really didn't want to be alone now, but she didn't want to get drunk.
A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, but it is also drunk and spits the truth.
Thoughts took over her body, and she had to hold on with her thoughts.
After sitting for a long time, he got up calmly and walked slowly downstairs, intending to go to the execution department to take a look.
Ou Qi used up three packs of trauma medicine, Guixi beckoned him two or three times with all the torture instruments of the Execution Division, and now he only has one sentence left, that is, beg the masters, let me die early.
Guixi saw Calm coming towards this side from a distance, and hurriedly brewed good jasmine tea, waiting for her to come.
Although he also heard that this noble concubine recently went to Miaoyin Temple to memorize the words, but in the harem, this kind of ups and downs are too common, as long as she has silver in her hand, she doesn't care what she does.
Anyway, these days, the queen mother and the emperor have never asked about Ou Li, as if there is no such person at all, after killing him, he reported that he died of a serious illness, and he made a few hundred taels of silver for nothing.
"The little one says hello to the mother." Gui Xichong knelt down calmly and greeted him with a smile.
Calmly passed by him, walked to the criminal division, and said: "Get up, you are so familiar, you don't have to go back to the rules, you are tired." ”
Gui Xi got up happily, walked in with her, and said flatteringly: "Niangniang, the newly brewed jasmine tea of the slave is not as good as the one in the master's house, and the mother makes do with two sips?" ”
Calmly picked up the teacup, took two sips slowly, and nodded: "Good tea, the fragrance of flowers is also strong." ”
Guixi suddenly smiled.
Calmly took out the ingot silver from his sleeve and put it down on the table: "You are an errand boy, and you have to flatter me, it is really difficult for you, how can you eat your tea for nothing, this silver is considered tea money, I will come in the future, you remember to make such tea and I will drink." ”
"Thank you for your grace." Guixi went out to collect the silver and thanked him.
Calmly sat down on the chair, took two sips of tea, straightened his eyes for a while, looked up and asked, "Is that person dead?" ”
"No, no mother's orders, how dare the slave let him die, seeing that he is going to die, he will use the magic medicine given by the mother, take care of it, and then toss it, this kid, these days he doesn't even say words of begging for mercy, he is punished, just scream, both eyes are stunned, according to the slave, he must be stupid."
"You rest, I'll go see him." Calmly put down the teacup and go deeper.
Guixi followed a few steps, stopped, and shouted in a low voice: "Niangniang, be careful, after all, you are a strong man." ”
Calm didn't look back, waved at him, and continued to walk forward.
She asked Guixi to change Ou Qi to the cell at the very end, for no particular reason, just to let him taste the taste of being cast wild in the place where he had been wild.
Calmly stopped outside the cell door, and looked through the light of the torches on the wall at the ragged and bloodied man in the cell, or he could no longer be called a man, and even the basic shape of a man was gone.
"Father-in-law Ou, you are really better than him, he only lasted for half a month, and you have lasted for more than two months, shouldn't this palace give you a reward to reward your endurance."
Calmly crouched down, clenched the prison door with both hands, gritted his teeth and whispered.
Au struggled to open her swollen eyes and spat at her.
It's far away, and you can't calm down at all.
Calmly leaned against the cell door and slipped to the ground, sneering sadly: "Does Father-in-law regret that he didn't kill me in the first place?" People have to learn to stand in line, stand right, worry about food and clothing, stand wrong, is your current fate, you don't have to blame me at all, blame yourself for your bad luck, choose the Queen Mother Guan instead of the palace. ”
"At that time, you were just a small secretary of the Shanggong Bureau." Au Libi squeezed out words between his teeth.
"This is the second mistake you made, my vision is not good, I can mix from a small priest to the emperor's favorite concubine, doesn't it just prove that I am a capable person, but you want to go against me, is it not your vision?" Calm sneer.
Au Qi shut up.
"I can understand that the revenge of killing your father is not shared, after all, your parents died under his sword, but there are all living beings in the world, which one is really not afraid of death? If you are really not afraid of death, why do you want to shout that you will be a good man again after eighteen years? Isn't this still a desire to live, a new life?
Instead of waiting for 18 years to become a good man again, why not seize the opportunity and live this life well. He said calmly and slowly.
Ou Li's eyes flashed, revealing a desire for life.
"Your loyalty to the queen mother and the emperor makes this palace admire, and in the past two days, this palace has suddenly figured out a question, if there is no order from above, you won't do such a poisonous hand to him?" Calmly asked.
Ou Ling's eyelids jumped a few times, and his swollen face was distorted, but he didn't speak.
Calmly stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark passage: "When you were tortured, did you keep your eyes fixed on this cold passage, hoping that a god could come out of this darkness and rescue you?"
But what about your gods? Do they remember you, the little minion? What does your life and death have to do with them?
Are you waiting? You have been suffering for fifty or sixty days, and what do you think the gods have come to save you? ”
The calm and indifferent tone of voice hit Ou Qian's heart like winter ice, and Ou Qian curled up and let out a painful wail.
Calm tears wet his cheeks and poured out like a waterfall.
Did Sima Nan also gaze at this passage as she said, and did she also like she said, longing for a god to descend from heaven and free him from his suffering?
"I'm sorry, I can't do it, I'm arrogant and I'm inflated, I thought I could get you out, but I can't, I'm sorry 。。。。。。" Calmly buried his tearful face between his knees, and his heart was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
"The matter has passed, you are now his favorite concubine, why bother to ask about the past?" Ou Qi's heavy voice came from behind him.
Calmly took a deep breath to calm himself down, and turned his face to look at the crippled body.
Her speculation was really good, she always felt that her instincts were accurate, and she always felt that she had the talent to be a detective, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with it.
"A smart man who has known how to pretend to be crazy and stupid since he was six years old and deceived the world, how kind do you think his heart will be?" District Ridge Road.
His calm posture has not changed, but his heart is turbulent.
He shouldn't be that kind of person, he is so good to a rabbit, how can he be such a person, although she has never doubted her intuition, but this time, she would rather her speculation be wrong, her intuition has become dull and corrupted because of Sima Nan's death.
Ou Qian seemed to see through his calm heart, and said hoarsely: "He raised a rabbit called Xiao Ling, that rabbit is his tool to deceive the world, it is not a rabbit, but a group of rabbits, outside the palace, there are two eunuchs who are responsible for raising rabbits for him, and there are as many as two hundred rabbits, but it is still not enough for him to fall, he stepped on it, and he tore it by hand." ”
"You're lying!" Calm sneer.
"The way I am, do I need to lie? If I lie, the so-called gods you are talking about will come down from heaven to save me? Ou Qi laughed wildly, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
