Chapter 137: Filial piety and wood
In the end, Shui'er had the courage to ask Zhou Yu's family if he wanted to buy some herbs back for use, but this proposal was rejected by Zhou Yu. Shui Er asked again, and Zhou Yu only said that there was no major epidemic in the capital at all.
"It's strange, many young women in the families of nobles and important ministers have been infected, how can the prime minister say that there is no major epidemic?" He Shuiling was puzzled.
"I'd better ask." Li Yunhan got up and went out.
After a while, Zhou Yu was dragged into the room by her.
"Yun Han, Yun Han, if you have something to say, what kind of system do you have to drag and pull like this?" Zhou Yu straightened his clothes and said with some embarrassment.
"Was I talking to you just now? How did you perfunctory me? Now, you are here, in front of your two sisters, to make it clear, what is the epidemic of women in Beijing?" Li Yunhan said unceremoniously.
Feng Yue couldn't help but laugh a little and said, "It seems that if you want him to tell the truth, you have to go out of the horse!"
"Ahem, I told you that you can, but you must not spread the word!" Zhou Yu continued after admonishing her: "A few days ago, His Majesty's granddaughter was the princess of Fuyang, and you all know about letting her go to Qianguo and make peace, right?"
The three girls nodded in unison.
"To put it bluntly, this epidemic is just a trick laid by the prime minister who doesn't want to marry his granddaughter, he united a group of ministers and nobles in the court, and lied that the women in his family were infected with the disease, but in fact, he combined all the ministers to act as a shield for himself." Zhou Yu explained to the three girls.
"I didn't expect Wang Cheng's power in the court to be so great, it seems that it is really not a simple matter to get rid of him!" Li Yunhan said hatefully. Under the influence of Liuying, she has always regarded Wang Cheng as a great enemy.
"Yes, I have sent someone to write down the list of infected ministers in my family this time, and I will have to settle them one by one in the future!" Zhou Yu said.
"Since everyone is unwilling to sacrifice their daughters, won't the matter of marriage come to an end?" Li Yunhan asked again.
"Not necessarily, didn't Your Majesty's daughter stay in the palace in a good manner? She is a princess herself, and she will definitely go to Qianguo in the end." Zhou Yu looked out the window and said.
"Isn't this exactly what the old man is doing?" Li Yunhan said a little angrily.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I made a move, Wang Cheng took it, and now it's his turn to make a move, and I'll take it!" Zhou Yu said with a soft smile.
"Looks like you've already figured out what to do?" Feng Yue stared at Zhou Yu and said.
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed...... Zhou Yu began to sell Guan Zi again, which also caused strong dissatisfaction among several girls.
Feng Yue and Li Yunhan glanced at each other, Li Yunhan immediately picked up Zhou Yu and threw him on the bed, and the three of them teamed up to pick Zhou Yu away.
"You are violating your husband's program by doing this, and you are violating your husband's program!" Zhou Yu roared as hard as he could, but was soon submerged in the charming jade carcass......
Outside the door, a maid asked, "Sister Shui'er, do we want to go in and have a look, why is my uncle so bad?"
"Go and go, just do your own thing, my uncle and a few young ladies have their own proportions, we don't need to worry about it!" Shui Er took the maid away, but then her face became a little hot. Although she is not very old, she still understands so many things......
Shui Er said that Zhou Yu and several young ladies had their own proportions, but in fact, the situation in the room was already very out of proportion...... As the old saying goes, drought dies of drought and waterlogging dies, and Zhou Yu belongs to the flood area. To say that it is easy to let Zhou Yu deal with these three women one by one, but if it is a pair of three...... It's a bit stretched. The key is that these three people also have some lethal characteristics, Feng Yue's body is hot, which can have a huge visual impact, and of course, maybe a tactile impact...... He Shuiling is gentle and intellectual, which makes people intoxicated in the countryside. Coupled with Li Yunhan's fierce combat power, like a succubus in the world, Zhou Yu was stunned to win this tough battle by gritting his teeth.
Not to mention three thousand beauties, the three beauties will make him happy like a fairy, if there are more, I am afraid that he will die young......
After a fierce battle, the four of them were exhausted and lay on the bed
It took a long time to recover. Of course, the main reason why they can get out of bed is that Shui Er has already come to urge them a few times that it's time for lunch...... If the masters don't go, the maids will go hungry, and the door of the room, which had been silent for half a morning, finally opened.
Several girls still paid attention to their appearance, and only went out after dressing up, but Zhou Yu was a random party, wrapped up in clothes and entered the dining room.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yu's messy hair, and they were all laughing secretly, but Zhou Yu didn't care, just beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat. Just mentioned this matter today, Zhou Yu had long wanted to cut off his long hair. In his previous life, he always had a capable hairstyle, neither long nor short, he washed his hair quickly and looked good. But this era is different, and it is unfilial to pay attention to what "parents of the body hair and skin" are, and to cut off the hair at will.
Moreover, in this era, once it is said that it is unfilial, it will be condemned by the public. Even if he is the prime minister of a country like Wang Cheng, as long as he dares to scold his parents or push his parents on the street, Emperor Wen can immediately dismiss him from his official position and put him in prison.
If someone's hair is too long to interfere with their work, they can go to the government office and cut off the excessively long part of the hair, and the shaved hair will be sealed by the government and burned at the annual ritual to ask for forgiveness from God for the barber's unfilial behavior.
Zhou Yu was already very impatient with this kind of feudal superstition, and he was ridiculed by the maids again today, and his determination to change this status quo became more and more firm.
After lunch, Zhou Yu called Shui Er aside and quietly explained a task in her ear.
After Shui'er listened, her head was almost full of question marks, and she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, if our family wants this thing, just buy it directly, and ask what its workshop is for?"
"I've got my own tricks, go ahead, be sure to ask a few more!" Zhou Yu refused to say more.
Half an afternoon passed before Shui Er collected the situation and told Zhou Yu, but she still didn't understand what her uncle, who was full of whimsical ideas, was going to do.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu hurried to the palace of King Yu.
"Are you going to do this business?" Zhou Yu laid out the plan and outlined it, and then asked Chen Jindao.
"It's a lucrative deal, why don't you do it?" Chen Jin agreed very resolutely.
"What trade, what deal? I'm going to get a share too!" Chen Ruolan ran in from outside, completely ignoring her reserve as a princess. Under the influence of Zhou Yu, she also learned the term "shareholding".
"You're going to Qianguo, what shares do you still have?" Zhou Yu deliberately teased her.
"The surname is Zhou, but you promised in front of this princess that this would not happen, if I was really married to the Qianguo, I would definitely find a way to make your life worse than death!" Chen Ruolan said with a resentful face.
"I'd like to hear what you can do!" Zhou Yu deliberately leaned his ears closer to make a listening gesture.
Chen Ruolan bit her lip, thought carefully for a while, and said: "When the time comes, I will play my father and let you be the ambassador of peace, and after I arrive in Qianguo, I will tell the fourth prince that you want to be inferior to me on the road several times, so that you Qianguo will also want your life, and my Dawen will also want your life!"
After listening to Chen Ruolan's plan, Zhou Yu broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and at this moment he only had this sentence in his heart: The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!
"I'm really afraid of you, when the time comes, you will wait and see, and I promise that I will not let you marry to Jiangnan!" Zhou Yu patted his chest and said.
"Humph!" Chen Ruolan glanced at him suspiciously, and then continued to ask Chen Jin, "What business were you talking about just now?"
"That's right, Zhou Yu said that he found something special, and then ......" Chen Jin told Chen Ruolan what Zhou Yu told him.
"And this kind of treasure? First of all, I'll do this business, you two don't want to get rid of me!" Chen Ruolan crossed her waist and said menacingly.
"Okay, how much are you going to pay this time?" Zhou Yu directly raised the most critical question.
I never thought that Chen Jin and Chen Ruolan were a little embarrassed when they heard this question, the ticket number had just started to run, and all links were the time to spend money, and the two of them wanted to take out a large amount of cash
There are some difficulties.
The shy two were silent for a long time, and Chen Jin said in a slur manner, "Three thousand taels of lines?"
Chen Ruolan pulled his sleeve from behind, and then shook his head desperately, indicating that he couldn't take out so much money.
"Well, I mean I'll give three thousand taels with Ruolan." Chen Jin hurriedly changed his words.
"Yes, I will give seven thousand taels, and the profits will be divided into thirty-seven, and you will be three, and I will be seven." Zhou Yu said.
"Good!" Chen Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, and the deal was negotiated.
Chen Jin's expression was similar to her, but Zhou Yu was secretly laughing at them.
In fact, according to Zhou Yu's design, this business does not need 10,000 taels of start-up capital at all, at most more than 1,000 taels. In this way, he not only pocketed three thousand taels of free funds, but also did not have to pay another penny himself.
After Zhou Yu left, Chen Ruolan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does this business need so much money?"
"I don't know, maybe the raw materials are expensive......" Chen Jin scratched his head and said.
Three days later, on a not very prosperous street in the capital, a store was silently opened, and the number of goods in this store was very limited, only three things. As can be seen from the exhibits placed at the front desk, this shop sells incense burned during sacrifices; the second is to sell a beautiful box, the size of an urn for future generations; The third is to sell a kind of bronze tripod engraved with a unique pattern.
At first, there were very few people here, and everyone didn't understand what kind of life this store was doing.
But the situation soon changed, and not long after the store opened, many people in gorgeous costumes began to patronize, and slowly, more and more people came into the store to shop, from ministers to ordinary people, from young men and women to middle-aged couples, all of whom wanted to buy something here.
"It's really yours, now the whole court and the middle are pointing to your filial piety wood incense!" Chen Jin exclaimed.
Zhou Yu had already found someone to shave his hair well, and he only smiled at Chen Jin's praise and did not comment.
Everything comes from a special incense sold in Zhou Yu's shop - Xiaotang wood incense!
