Chapter 103: Qian Shuyu is pregnant
This farmhouse is just a bedroom, Han Jiang consciously lay on the outside of the bed, and Mo Lan was squeezed inside, silently gritting his teeth.
Until the sound of even breathing came from her side, she immediately got into the space, took a beautiful bath in the villa, and lay on her soft big bed, but she couldn't sleep at all.
In fact, for her, whether it is here or on the earth, there is no big difference, and she will always be alone.
Early in the morning, after Mo Lan woke up, she found that Hanjiang was gone, and she was afraid that he would find out last night, so she came out again.
Mo Lan pushed open the door and just happened to bump into Han Jiang coming in with porridge, the hot porridge turned over in his hand, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?"
Mo Lan dragged him to the kitchen, poured vinegar on the wound, and then went to the room to turn his back, took out the scald cream from the space and squeezed it into a bowl to apply it to him.
"How could you do this?"
"I've not always been a fool, and occasionally I'm sober, don't you know?"
Han Jiang was silent, staring at her and not knowing what he was thinking.
Mo Lan didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he went down to the field with a hoe on his shoulder, and if he wanted to grow vegetables at this time, he had to build a greenhouse, and he didn't return to the farmhouse until evening.
He found a bunch of people gathered in front of his house, armed with spears and wearing military uniforms.
Could it be that Hanjiang has been discovered?
Mo Lan lowered the brim of her hat and carried her hoe to leave, but was stopped.
"Stop, everyone passing by has to go in and register!"
The female soldier who stopped her was indifferent, didn't look at her, and only stretched out her hand to block in front of her.
Mo Lan lowered her voice, "Alas, okay. ”
As soon as Mo Lan stepped into the courtyard, she saw two female officials sitting on the stone pier in the courtyard.
Seeing her come in, one was expressionless, and the other was enthusiastic.
"General Mo, you're really making it easy for us to find!"
Mo Lan pointed at herself, "Me? Checkmate? I don't know how to cultivate! ”
"Look at what you say, the emperor said that you are, you are!"
The enthusiastic female officer walked up and grabbed her arm directly, and Mo Lan immediately retracted her hand and distanced herself.
"How do you know I'm here?"
The indifferent female official slammed the cup in her hand on the stone table, "The third prince came to report that you took your husband to see a doctor, and suddenly disappeared.
He is the proton left by Yuncang in Qingyun, you are gone, he can only go back to the palace.
The emperor sent troops out to look for you, and according to the clues he provided, we met the farmers who moved in the woods, and only then did we know that someone had bought their house, and now there is a high probability that you have no place to live. ”
Mo Lan looked at this female official who spoke coldly and seemed to be very angry with her, a little inexplicable, she didn't offend her in her memory!
"General Wen, didn't General Mo find it, don't be angry, let's go back to the palace to restore our lives!"
Mo Lan followed the team and walked back to the capital.
She had just finished her work and walked all the way before she rested, but she couldn't beat any of these people, so she had to endure the discomfort on her feet.
Damn it, aren't you ready to leave?
Actually ran to the emperor to make a small report? Didn't she say she would come back?
Mo Lan was sure that Jun Wuye had discovered something, so he would choose to stay, otherwise how could a person who was ready to leave at any time take the initiative to come back?
Could it be that he is also for the holy decree of Qingyun Kingdom?
Mo Lan was arranged to stay in the inn, the room was guarded outside, and all the exits and windows of the inn were handled.
She always had the feeling that the emperor was afraid that she would run away.
After freshening up, she entered the space and nestled on the sofa to catch up on variety shows.
"You all go down, I have something to say to General Mo."
Hearing this voice, Mo Lan immediately left and lay on the bed.
The door was pushed open, and General Wen sighed, shook his head and closed the door.
"You shouldn't have sold the garden of Mofu, that has a very special meaning to General Moman, enter the palace with me tomorrow morning to face the saint, pay attention to politeness, don't embarrass your mother."
Mo Lan looked at her and said to herself, and by the way, she stuffed a note in her hand and left.
Seeing her leave and close the door, Mo Lan immediately got up and opened the note.
"General Moman's death is strange, seven days later, Lotus Moge will talk about it in detail!"
Mo Lan was a little entangled, according to Mo Yuan, she was originally a person from this world.
I don't know why the soul is separated, only one soul is left here, and Mo Man is her biological mother.
But she has been an orphan since she was a child on earth, and she doesn't understand this kind of relationship between relatives.
However, the death of the biological mother is not normal, and it must be found out as a child, but she does not want to get involved in these disputes.
She has always been a carefree person, and she suddenly has a bond, which is very uncomfortable.
On the second day, Mo Lan was waited to change into court clothes, put on a soft sedan chair, and carried all the way to the palace gate.
It was not until the end of the early dynasty that she was declared into the palace.
Glory Hall
The empress was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, and although she was in her forties, she could hardly see any wrinkles.
Mo Lan was kneeling on the ground, it had been almost an hour, and her knees were going to rot!
The last grain of sand fell from the hourglass in the empress's hand, and Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you know why I made you kneel?"
"Chaoyan is not filial, and mortgages the most important garden for my mother."
The hourglass in the empress's hand smashed directly in front of her, "What else?" ”
"You shouldn't leave Beijing with a proton without permission, and you shouldn't report it."
The empress sat up straight, "It seems that you are completely sober, okay, go down, go to the Ministry of Officials to go through the inheritance procedures, and then go to the Ministry of Households to redeem the house, and my treasury is more at ease with silver." ”
Mo Lan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said yes again and again.
Another cup smashed open at her feet.
"Don't tell me that you've almost lost all your money in the past two days!"
The empress seems to be angry, Mo Lan is just in pain, she has always disobeyed ink money, and the silver is not hot yet, and it is going to enter the cold silver treasury again.
At that time, in order to redeem cash, she also took in more than ten taels of fees!
"I'll give you two months of grace and make up the money for me!"
When Mo Lan heard this, her eyes lit up, two months!
If she used the money in her hand to do some business, she wouldn't be so painful at that time!
"Yes, Chaoyan must work hard."
As soon as the empress beckoned, a palace man came up with a tray and lifted the cloth, which was a pink pill.
"Prevent you from running away from the debt, this is a fragrance pill, it will stay fragrant after eating, no matter where you run, the tengu can find your traces!"
Mo Lan looked at the pink pill, as if beckoning to her, and swallowed her saliva.
Is this still the Empress? It's just a financial fraud!
took the pill and swallowed it resignedly, in two months, she would definitely earn enough money to return it to the household, and then she would come back to ask for the antidote.
She has thought about the reason, a general, what's the matter with the fragrance on his body?
It's not good if you shake the morale of the army!
It wasn't until Mo Lan's body emitted a vague fragrance that the empress let her go.
Originally, she still wanted to do tricks and hide the medicine on her body, but the empress kept staring at her, so she could only accept her fate.
Mo Lan took the token in his hand and went to the ministry in a leisurely manner.
"Xia Guan has seen General Mo, he didn't introduce himself yesterday, Xia Guan is Yu Wen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials."
Looking at Juventus, who was still enthusiastic in front of him, Mo Lan nodded perfunctorily.
The man came across as too slick and uncomfortable, as if she had done it on purpose.
Juventus listen? Problematic!
This name is too straightforward, who gave it the name?
After completing the formalities and collecting the official seal, Mo Lan was about to leave, but Juventus stopped her when she heard it.
"General Mo, this handling fee is ten taels."
Mo Lan almost jumped up and shouted, "Ten taels, why don't you grab it!" The inheritance is determined by the emperor, and you want money to go to the emperor! ”
Juventus smiled and approached her, "Okay, the lower official remembered, you have to go to the household department to get the deed back later, I will go with you, and I will ask the household department for this money." ”
Mo Lan gritted her teeth and took out ten taels of silver from her arms, put them on the table, picked up the paperwork and rushed out of the ministry.
This emperor and his courtiers are all greedy for money and greedy for heaven!
The head of the household department looked at Mo Lan in front of him in a daze, the smile on his face was almost unbearable, and she didn't move even after a stick of incense.
"General Mo! General Mo! ”
Mo Lan came out of her contemplation, her expression dazed.
"You see, can you give a discount or something? Isn't the interest of 1,000 taels a month too high? ”
The abacus in the principal's hand crackled, and finally the abacus was withdrawn and nodded at her.
The corners of Mo Lan's mouth were about to crack behind her ears, and she nodded, there was a play.
"A month..."
"Uh-huh"
"A thousand taels is indeed a little more."
"Yes, yes, yes"
"But this is the least interest, so it's a thousand taels a month."
Mo Lan propped up the table and straightened up, it was better for her to return the silver now.
The principal seemed to remember something, rummaging through a pile of ledgers.
The last three ledgers were placed in front of Mo Lan.
Mo Lan pointed to the ledger tremblingly, "It's all mine?" ”
The principal waved his hand repeatedly, "No." ”
Mo Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead, fortunately?!
"The property in Mofu has not been taxed for three months, you see, make up for it first?"
Mo Lan opened the account book and turned to the page of her house, and the total tax arrears for three months were five hundred and eighteen taels!
Almost gritting his teeth, Mo Lan was already on the verge of a heart attack!
Jun Wuye, the old lady fought with you!
"Steward Wu, you directly said that after two months, how much money will I have to pay back even the principal and interest?"
In the room, the abacus sounded again.
"It's a total of one hundred and two thousand six hundred and seventy-five twenty-four dollars, and the emperor said that in order to make you remember it for a long time, the fraction will not be erased."
Mo Lan silently calculated in her heart, isn't this exactly the same as the money left in her hand?
Her financial situation, the clearest thing is Jun Wuye, looking at his gentleman's appearance, he is really sanctimonious!
Also, the taxes in this Qingyun country are too high! Outrageous!
Officials are taxed 20 percent on business!
However, the tax on ordinary merchants is only 5%.
This empress is really capable, no matter where she does business, these officials will only earn much more than ordinary merchants, and widening the gap in tax collection can be regarded as benefiting the people.
Should this arrears note be signed or not?
If she pays back the money now, she still has more than 2,000 taels of silver left, but it will be difficult to do big business.
If she does, after two months, if she doesn't earn any money, she will have nothing left.
Mo Lan took the ink and pressed the handprint directly.
Hum!
Then play big!
The witch steward took the arrears bill with a smile, "A general is a general, decisive!" ”
Mo Lan snorted and laughed weakly.
He raised his feet to leave, but was stopped again.
"The emperor said that your monthly salary will not be distributed in these two months."
Mo Lan clenched her fists and left the household with her hands and feet.
When I arrived at the door of Mofu, I saw Jun Wuye sitting on the steps, and there was a circle of people under the steps.
After seeing her coming, their eyes lit up, and they picked up the ledger in their hands and rushed over.
"The head of the house, I am the shopkeeper of Changxi Pavilion, this is the detailed account of the shop in the first three months, and the workers are still waiting for the payment, since you are back, you will deal with this matter!"
"And me, and me, I'm the shopkeeper of the Tingyin Building......"
Mo Lan laughed and took the account books one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, go back first, tonight I will let the account room at home calculate, how much silver taels are owed, and tomorrow morning, it will be sent to your homes and then distributed."
The pile of great gods who finally sent them away, Mo Lan held a bunch of ledgers and threw them in front of Jun Wuye.
"You, report it all to me by midnight tonight."
After speaking, he kicked open the slightly open gate and rushed to his yard in a huff.
Qianyi squatted down and picked up the ledger that fell to the ground, more than 20 detailed accounts, it had to be made in three hours, this woman was too much!
"Childe, there are so many, how do you count them?"
Jun Wuye remembered her angry appearance just now, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
patted the dust on the account book, "Don't worry, count slowly, I know it in my heart." ”
Hai time
The lights were on in Mo Lan's room, and a whining came from inside.
The account that had been calculated just now was sent over, and it was a thick pile, just as high as the table in front of her.
Looking at the list sorted out, a total of 2,100 taels of wages had to be paid to the workers!
If she hadn't signed the order in the household department and paid the workers' wages, she would have nothing left!
No, there are fifty-one taels of silver.
Sure enough, after Mo Man's death, the Mo family has been sending money out, and the business of those shops was not bad, and there were still a few hundred taels a month in addition to the capital.
Mo Lan slapped the table and stepped on the ledger with one foot, but one foot slipped and split.
"Okay, then it's a big change, after paying the wages tomorrow, everyone will be changed!"
"Knock knock!"
"Who!"
"Uh, I'm Qianyi, the eldest lady of the Su family is coming to you."
Su Momo? What is she here for?
Mo Lan opened the door, and when she reached the second door, she saw Su Momo waving at her.
Hand is ......
A piece of paper!
"Mo Lan, don't run!"
Su Momo flew in front of her with an arrow step.
"In the casino before, you owed me fifty taels of silver, and later, after you lost, I also paid for dinner, a total of fifty-one taels and four dollars, don't rely on the account, the emperor ordered in the afternoon, you must pay off all the arrears tomorrow, otherwise, the ass will be opened!"
Mo Lan snatched the paper from her hand and pulled her hand towards the door.
"I will definitely pay you back tomorrow, bye-bye, good night, and I wish you good health in the whole family."
Mo Lan closed the door, leaned on it, and didn't open the door no matter how much Su Momo threatened.
It wasn't until there was no movement behind her that she lay on the ground.
"This world of cheaters!"
