Cheng Ziyu has really practiced walking!

In her previous life, because of her insufficient background, she was afraid that Zhu Changan would be made fun of, so she worked hard in terms of etiquette. And at this moment, even though she lowered her head, she also felt the hot gaze above her head, and she suddenly felt that her steps seemed to be too good.

She followed Wang Yue to the second floor.

The two kowtowed, but several of the superiors were still busy playing cards.

The queen casually asked Wang Yue a few words about the situation in the south, and then ordered her to go down and rest, leaving Cheng Ziyu alone and kneeling in place.

Wang Yue couldn't help but give Cheng Ziyu a caring look when she left, but Cheng Ziyu still knelt quietly with her head down, without even looking at her.

And this, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, is even more satisfied.

Time slipped away little by little, and several people didn't seem to see her, and no one called her.

Cheng Ziyu complained bitterly, she really didn't know, what was wrong? She couldn't think about it, and she couldn't think of anything she had done wrong lately......

She hadn't knelt since she came back from rebirth, and she knelt for a while today, and her knees suddenly felt a little numb.

However, even so, she did not dare to move.

"Little girl, do you know how to play cards? I'm really not playing well, come to me and show me the cards. Two quarters of an hour later, the Emperor spoke first.

The emperor wholeheartedly decided that Cheng Ziyu was a scheming girl, kneeling on the ground for so long and not moving, she was still a powerful scheming girl. He didn't want to lose the bet, so he planned to strike first.

He just saw that although the upper half of the girl's body was not moving, her knees were already shaking. At this time, as long as she is given a step, she will definitely run fast.

He has seen a lot of this kind of woman, just wanting to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix! He didn't believe it, and she would refuse.

"Back to the emperor, the people don't know how to play cards."

The emperor's card dropped, and he didn't expect that he would be rejected.

"Presumptuous! Dare to disobey the emperor's order, don't you want your head? Dare to lie to my face! Who gave you the guts! The emperor's voice increased, and as soon as the coercion was released, Cheng Ziyu's scalp was numb and shivered at the same time.

She quickly kowtowed to the ground.

"The emperor atoned for his sins, and the people's daughter really didn't know how to play cards! The folk girl is a craftsman, and she only cares about making pottery on weekdays, and has never played cards. The people's daughter's family is also a craftsman, and no one can play cards. also asked the emperor to spare the people's daughter. The women of the people dare not lie......"

Cheng Ziyu's heart was already messy.

She was so busy kowtowing that she didn't dare to raise her eyes at this moment.

She did. In her previous life, she didn't know how to play, but later she learned it with the Queen Mother. She had already attracted attention when she first arrived, and if she could still play a good hand, it would be even more deliberate.

What's more, she has already seen that something is wrong.

What is the identity of the four people at the table, and what is it for her to go up? Standing behind the Queen Mother is almost the same, standing to the emperor? She didn't want to be the Emperor's plaything......

And although the emperor is moody, he will not be unreasonable. At this moment, it is obviously unreasonable, the Queen Mother is also here, Cheng Ziyu doesn't believe that he will really find fault with himself.

Then there's only one possibility, they're making fun of her!

And she has only one choice left: no!

The emperor has already thrown away the cards.

The woman rejected him, making him a little depressed.

"Then according to what you say, you are bent on doing work so you don't play cards, but as the king of a country, I ignore state affairs and play cards here because I am mediocre?"

Cheng Ziyu really wanted to scold, she gritted her teeth.

"Quite the opposite! It is precisely because the emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs that he governs the affairs of the family and the country in an orderly manner, and the country and the people are safe, so that he can relax and play cards to relax. And the emperor is doing his filial piety for the queen mother at the moment, and he is an example for the people of the world, the blessing of my Great Zhou, and the filial son loved by the people. ”

Cheng Ziyu thought that this was the standard answer, but she still underestimated the determination to find fault.

"You're lying again! Since everything is in order, the country and the people are safe, why do you still build good halls everywhere, aren't you slapping me in the face? ”

"The folk girl didn't dare. The purpose of doing good is to benefit the people of a place, to reduce the burden of the imperial court, to reduce the losses caused by natural disasters, and to seek peace and security for the country and the people. ”

"Sharp teeth!"

The emperor's voice was a little quieter, but the coercion was unabated. "You're not slapping me in the face, you're having a plan, you say, are you looking for fame or silver?"

"The people's daughter is stupid and doesn't understand what the emperor means."

"Fame can help you achieve your ambitions, and Charity can help you collect your donations. You are a businessman, you can't trade at a loss. ”

The more Cheng Ziyu spoke, the more tired she became.

Merchant? Should businessmen be forced to be dressed up in a cunning garb? She finally understood the emperor's pinch.

"The folk girl has no ambitions, the folk girl only hopes that the country and the people will be safe, and the family will be satisfied. The name of Shantang was originally named after Jingxi, but as soon as the merchants from the south and north spread it, the name of the folk girl was spread.

As for the donations, they have indeed attracted a lot, but the folk girl has never held a copper plate. All the donations have been collected and distributed by the Liangjiang Yamen, so how can the people make a profit?

And the good deeds of the people's women have nothing to do with the merchants. Because the folk girl wants to do something for those in need, that's all. As for the end, what the folk girl did was indeed a loss-making business. On the day the Shantang was opened, the folk girl had already responded, as long as the folk girl was there and the Cheng family was there, the Shantang would definitely be there.

So far, a total of 17 benevolent halls have been opened, and the Cheng family should bear the responsibility for everything from construction to labor and daily expenses and maintenance. The Cheng family knew that this was a bottomless pit with no return from the day they opened the good hall, but the Cheng family still did it, so the Cheng family, a merchant, did indeed make a loss-making transaction. ”

She said all this in one breath, and finally told the emperor to shut up for the time being.

She was slightly relieved, so dangerous, fortunately she was cautious, Shantang did not use her name, and fortunately those charity funds were handed over early, what a crime to add to this desire!

At this moment, after saying all this, she didn't believe that the emperor would embarrass her.

She didn't speak, but she could feel that her gaze softened a lot.

Naturally, she didn't see it, and the Queen Mother had already glared at the emperor several times at this time. Although the emperor felt that he had lost the gamble, he still did not give up, and only forcibly struggled.

"Raise your head!"

The emperor spoke, "I have decided, I want to reward you, you tell me, what do you want?" ”

"People's girls don't do good deeds for rewarding ......" Cheng Ziyu, who raised her head, did not forget to lower her eyes, and this obedience made the Queen Mother feel more satisfied.

"Then I will show you a grace and show you ...... How about the Five Princes? ”

The emperor thought that the fifth prince was in the limelight, and if she was ambitious, she would respond to it. But he regretted it after he finished speaking, if she really should be grateful, then would he really want to stuff a merchant for his son? I knew it earlier, so I said that I would refer to her as a palace concubine......
