Chapter 41: Spray your face with tea
Lian even called Nie Xiaoan back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Angoer... You see, this has a pair of jade pendants of mutton fat jade, and you and Brother Nian'er have a pair of two brothers, which is just right. Gai Ming'er sent it for her mother. Lian smiled.
Nie Xiao'an had a calm face, not as happy as Lian's.
"Mother, there are so many of these gifts that they fill the empty yard of our house. Don't you want to think about why such a big good thing would fall on us?" Nie Xiaoan asked with a worried look.
After Lian's happiness passed, he gradually smiled and said, "Why can't such a great good thing fall on us? Besides, this is your mother who has recognized a rich and compelling goddaughter! Why can't I enjoy the blessings?"
"Mother!" Nie Xiao'an was anxious.
When Lian Shi heard this, he also sighed and said, "Brother An, you really can't understand everything as a mother?"
Nie Xiao'an swallowed it back in his mouth if he wanted to persuade him again.
"Angoer... Coincidentally... After all, it's an old case from many years ago. Again... At this time, it was spread out, and it was nice to say that I was kind in adopting orphans, but it was not good... Then I'm a prisoner of the Imperial Court!"
Is it that serious?
Nie Xiaoan was a little restless.
"In that case, why did Mother accept this gift?" asked Nie Xiao'an puzzled.
"Why don't I accept it?" Lian immediately asked: "If I don't accept it, will there be less gossip?"
Lian's words are so reasonable, Nie Xiaoan can't refute them.
"But... I can't rest assured!" "After all, Nie Xiaoan is not as calm as Lian's, and he instinctively feels scared of this pie falling from the sky.
"Angoer... Mother is also afraid that it will affect you. But if you think about it, if you go further, when Qiaoqiao really sits on the throne of this queen... Think about the Qingzhou Hou family now, what kind of scenery it is?" Lian bent down in the direction of Nie Xiao'an and said softly.
Nie Xiao'an was surprised, his mother had become so ambitious?
Again... Qingzhou Hou's family adopted Concubine Min... Concubine Min is a favorite concubine, and she can be a qualified concubine if she is gentle and demure.
It's a coincidence... That's the person who wants to be the queen, she doesn't have any help, their Nie family... It's not a prominent family in the capital...
It's nice not to drag Qiaoqiao down.
So why does she sit firmly on the throne of the queen?
By the rules of Emperor Taizu?
Stop it!
Emperor Chengshun back then, didn't he copy the Zhu family, the first queen Zhu... Isn't it also said that it is wasted?
"I understand your concerns. Lian Shi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You, you just love to think about things too complicated! If you think about it carefully, Qiaoqiao can say that she moved the six princes to help her and turn over the case decided by Emperor Chengshun himself, isn't this a skill? Besides..."Lian said this, and straightened out the hem of his clothes with his hands. He said: "When I learned about this in Juxian Building yesterday, Xiaofan was also there. Do you know what she told me at the time?"
"What did you say?" Nie Xiaoan was very concerned about how Nie Xiaofan evaluated this matter.
Lian cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Fan told me: Auntie is very happy!"
Auntie happy?
Exultation?
These two words echoed in Nie Xiaoan's mind.
Big joy?
"Xiaofan and Qiaoqiao are as good as sisters. If this pie can really hit someone, will Xiao Fan tell me that he is happy?"
It seems like... That's exactly what happened. Nie Xiaoan was completely speechless.
In Juxian Building, Nie Xiaofan was full of worries. Zhou Jiulang took her hand and slowly got into the carriage. But he saw a gold-painted box in the middle of the carriage.
"Lady... What is this?" asked Zhou Jiulang puzzled.
Nie Xiaofan raised his eyebrows. This box is supposed to be left by Xia Yue. It should be about business. But she didn't want Zhou Jiulang to get involved in her business. Then he said, "It's something I asked my subordinates to buy." Leave it alone. As he spoke, he casually threw the box aside.
Zhou Jiulang has always respected Nie Xiaofan's affairs, so he didn't say anything more.
When he came back to Zhou's mansion, Nie Xiaofan opened the box and saw that it was actually Yanyin!
Nie Xiaofan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Xia Yue actually wanted her to be a salt merchant?
Yes... The Dasheng Imperial Court strictly controlled the salt introduction, and the salt merchants made money from it, and Xia Yue wanted money, and the salt introduction was the fastest and best way to make money.
Nie Xiaofan counted, and there were actually a full 50,000... Nie Xiaofan squinted his eyes and calculated, this is three hundred catties of salt per induction...
And the profit in between...
That night, Nie Xiaofan thought about a lot of things.
Thinking about Zhou Qiaoqiao, thinking about the situation of the Zhou family, and... There is also the Nie family, and the Nie Mansion is really involved now!
The situation in the capital is like a boat sailing against the current for them...
No... Wrong!
The so-called sailing against the current will retreat if you don't advance, but they... If they don't enter, they can only wait for the ashes to disappear!
Nie Xiaofan went to Xia Yue the next day and asked him if he had made up his mind.
"Of course I made up my mind... But... Remember to send the grain to the border soldiers..."Xia Yue said coldly.
Nie Xiaofan drank a sip of tea and almost sprayed it on Xia Yue's face.
"What's the matter? This... Do you have to let me send food?" Nie Xiaofan said in surprise.
"Of course!" Xia Yue said as a matter of course: "Could it be that you think that these salt introductions are all for nothing?"
Dasheng salt introduction implements the open middle system, and salt merchants need to transport grain to the border soldiers, and then exchange it for salt from them, use salt to exchange for salt, and then sell salt at designated places.
This is all Nie Xiaofan knows now, and now Xia Yue directly gave her a salt lead, she still thought... I thought this guy was ready for everything, but I didn't want to have such a big mess waiting for her!
Seeing her frowning, Xia Yue said, "I have already helped you get the salt guide in advance, you only need to send 300,000 denier grain to Chen Si before the end of the year... There's 10,000 salt waiting for you!"
Chen Si?
"Poof..."Nie Xiaofan took a sip of tea and sprayed it directly on Xia Yue's face. That one... Chen Si, who was pitted by the king of Pingxi, is he okay now?
Xia Yue: "......"
"That Chen Si... He's stationed at the border between Dasheng and Liao now, right?" Nie Xiaofan asked.
Xia Yue's face remained unchanged, and she slowly wiped the water traces on her face, and squeezed out a word when her lips and teeth touched, and said, "Yes!"
Nie Xiaofan looked at Xia Yue with a smile.
Xia Yue didn't say anything else, but said: "Salt leads to a million profits, but I brought this thing in advance." There can be no delay. Don't forget. ā
Nie Xiaofan said a word and left.
