Chapter 124: Goodbye Mysterious Old Man
Well?
Could this be the emperor testing himself?
Test yourself with money?
Wang Xue knew that this matter could not be just a random number.
She felt that the emperor was testing her, probably to see if she would be greedy for some money in order to so-called help the poor people.
It's like the Five Princes.
So she rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, can you really want a courtier?" ”
"Of course, as long as you say it, as long as it's not too much, I can promise you."
"Then the emperor, the courtiers will ask you to allocate 10,000 taels of silver from the treasury to the courtiers."
"Oh? Ten thousand taels? ”
"If the emperor thinks that the courtiers want more, the courtiers can be reduced even more." Wang Xue said.
The emperor looked at her and said curiously: "Then I ask you, what do you want to do with this ten thousand taels of silver?" ”
Wang Xue already had an idea in her heart, so she said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers plan to use the ten thousand taels of silver for the follow-up repair of the houses of those people and to help those people buy the things they need for life, in addition, the courtiers also inquired that the people in several villages outside the capital are also living in difficulty, so they want to use this money to help them, and the courtiers will also inform them at that time, this is what the emperor means, the emperor is sympathetic to the people, you have been suffering the people for a long time, you have them in your heart, and the courtiers are just conveying the holy will, I'm sure the big guys will be grateful to you. ”
Boy.
The emperor was amused by Wang Xue's secret praise.
Talking about it, why are you boasting about me again?
But soon he restrained his smile, "Okay, you can have this intention, prove that I am not wrong about you, so let's do it, I will give you 50,000 taels of silver, which you can take for those people, take it for the people, and use it for the people, and you should use it for them." ”
"That's right." The emperor seemed to think of something, and said: "I saw your son at the banquet tonight, well, the little doll is very good-looking, how old is he?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the son of the courtier's daughter just turned six years old this year."
"Well, it's time for school." Then after a moment of silence, the emperor said: "In this way, when this matter is over, you will bring your son to the palace to go to school, just accompany a few children to study together, and everyone also has a companion." ”
Wang Xue was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
On the carriage leaving the palace.
The old prince's family didn't speak, obviously what happened in the palace today made the family not in the mood to speak.
"How's Xuan'er?" Suddenly, the eldest lady looked at Wang Xue and asked.
"Xuan'er should have gone back to sleep now, I asked Xi'er to take Xuan'er back first."
The eldest lady nodded, then looked at the silent old prince, and said softly: "Prince, don't think about it, in this matter, the emperor has done a good job, and the son of the wing king has also been punished as he deserves, and that's it." ”
The old prince shook his head after a while, and said, "I know that the emperor is already very good to us in doing this, but I can't swallow this breath when I think of the injury on Ming'er's face, hey." ”
Hearing the old prince's words, several people in the carriage were silent again.
Suddenly, Wang Xue seemed to think of something, and she made up her mind.
Back at the palace, several people came to Wang Haoming's residence.
Wang Xue's second brother, whose face was tightly wrapped, was already lying on the bed and falling asleep at the moment.
And the second lady cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and at this moment, after seeing the arrival of the old prince, Wang Xue and others, she threw herself into the arms of the old prince and cried.
The old prince and the eldest lady comforted the second lady while telling her what happened in the imperial study.
But the second lady still choked up and said: "But master, sister, the scar on my son's face can't be erased, and this scar will follow my son for the rest of his life, woo woo." As she spoke, the second lady began to cry again.
Wang Xue looked uncomfortable from the sidelines, but she couldn't say anything.
The next morning, after Wang Xue had a simple breakfast, she left the palace with Qing'er and Wu Sheng.
"Miss, where are we going this morning?" Qing'er asked curiously.
Wang Xue looked out the carriage window and pursed her lips, "You'll know when you go." ”
Qing'er didn't ask again, because she felt that her county lord was not in a very good mood.
"County Lord, we're here."
I don't know how long it took, until Wu Sheng's voice sounded outside the carriage, Wang Xue's thoughts drifted back.
Retracting her thoughts, Wang Xue got out of the car.
"Ah, that's where it is." After Qing'er got out of the carriage, she knew where it was when she saw the familiar alley.
"Let's go, go in and have a look, maybe. There can be a way. ”
So Qing'er and Wu Sheng followed Wang Xue into the alley where she rarely came, but was very familiar.
In front of the familiar dilapidated old house, the door is ajar.
Wang Xue didn't knock on the door, pushed open the door and walked in.
The rich smell of tobacco suddenly hit Wang Xue's face.
She frowned, and Qing'er, who was following her, was choked and coughed violently.
Wu Sheng didn't feel much of it, just looked up and down the furnishings in the room with a pair of eyes.
In fact, speaking of which, what furnishings can this old house have.
It's just the simplest table, chair, bench, and a wooden bed that's also very old.
"Yo he, the county lord is here, but I am the old man's kennel is full of light, you have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it, what do I have to do to find the old man this time?"
In the smoke-filled room, an old voice rang out from the smoke.
I don't know, I thought it was haunted.
Wang Xue put a handkerchief on her nose and said straight to the point: "I want you to help me find a medicine." ”
"Looking for medicine? What medicine? The old man was surprised.
"A medicine that restores scars on the face." After a pause, Wang Xue continued: "I mean the kind of medicine that the imperial doctor can't cure. ”
The old man sneered, "Imperial Doctor. Those guys can have some bullshit skills, but the medicine you mentioned is a bit hard to find, and it takes some effort to figure it out. ”
Wang Xue understood what the old man meant, so she said directly: "You can make a price, as long as you can find it, you can have as much as you want." ”
"Yo, look at it, it's still very urgent, that's okay, old man, I'm not polite to you, the medicine you want is not easy to find, and it's basically a good thing with no price, old man, I don't care how much you want, five thousand taels, pay money with one hand and deliver it with the other."
"How much? Five thousand taels? Why don't you rob it, old man! That's going to happen faster! Qing'er was startled and shouted angrily.
