Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's All About Silver

The smile on the face of King Zhao Song Xing became stronger,

"Erchen can go to Yishan to pick up this silver instead of Princess Jin, and after the silver is in hand, it will be detained in Erchen's hands, so don't you get it!"

The queen frowned, "This... It's also inappropriate, Princess Jin will inevitably ask for Wei Niang to bring back all the money and transfer it to the third division. ”

Song Xing's eyes flashed with arrogance, "Erchen said that this silver should be kept for an important purpose, can she Xu Jinrou still snatch it back?" At that time, the queen mother will put all the responsibility on the sons and daughters, and the slut can only cry out in vain. ”

Seeing that the queen was still a little hesitant, King Zhao kowtowed to the ground, "After the sons have these silver taels, they can make friends with the Western barbarian magnates, the four great families, and the people of insight inside, and from then on, they can work hard to seek great causes." ”

The queen's face was worried, "As Xing'er said, I'm afraid that 10,000 taels of silver is far from enough." ”

"Queen Mother, 10,000 taels of silver is definitely not enough, but you can slowly figure it out, after all, empty talk is useless, and everything needs to start operating first."

The expression on the queen's face changed, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded, "Okay, I'll answer you for my mother." ”

King Zhao was overjoyed, "Xu Jinrou will not agree to me to pick up the silver, you need to start first, and you have to ask the queen mother to arrange the twists and turns." ”

The fetus that is nominally nearly three months old is actually four months old, but Xu Jinrou's belly is still flat, and there is no need to hide it for fear of being suspected.

If it weren't for Qingluan's daily pulse diagnosis and conditioning by her side, Xu Jinrou would really be worried about what happened to the child in her womb.

Qin Xuanzhi also checked her pulse not long ago, and the owner of the Ximan Medical Hall stared at his crescent-like eyes, and clearly told Xu Jinrou that the fetus was fine, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

To this day, Yanagi has not returned from Kyoto City.

Yuwen Canglan and Xiao Tianze did not leave Kyoto City.

Xu Jinrou has stayed in Ziyun Xuan these days, and she will never leave the palace if she has nothing to do.

She knew that whether it was Yuwen Canglan's troubleshooting or Xiao Tianze's wishful thinking, it would bring her unnecessary trouble.

Without Liu Rentu by her side, she didn't want to provoke any unnecessary things, let alone get entangled in them.

One of the things she plans to do in this life is to make Liu Rentu really like her or want to stop her, so it is not intentional that Liu Rentu cannot be suspicious of her in the affairs of men and women.

Since you live a new life, why can't you fight?

The woman that Liu Rentu really likes in his heart is now the imperial concubine of the Western Barbarian Kingdom, and she is the person who is most favored by the Western Barbarian Emperor Yuwen in addition to the queen, and Liu Rentu is playing with fire.

At the beginning of the last life, Xu Jinrou didn't know these secrets, she naively thought that Liu Rentu might really like her, so she had been living in entanglement, panic, uneasiness, and doubt, and later learned that he was just using her to complete a long-term shocking plan.

In this life, although she knows that she can still let him use it, but she already knows that there is a difference, she can also let him be used by her in turn, if he wants to play with fire, she will let him be burned by fire......

Since there is no longer a shortage of food in the palace, the daily breakfast has been much more exquisite and rich.

Today's breakfast is: Qibao five-flavor porridge, thin-skinned fish spring cocoon, sour bamboo shoot soup and dregs Qiongzhi.

The seven treasures of Qibao five-flavor porridge are walnuts, pine nuts, milk mushrooms, persimmons, millet, chestnuts, beans, this porridge can be divided into five flavors, so it is called five flavors, Qingluan said that this porridge can be with the stomach, tonify the spleen, nourish the heart, clear the lungs, let the princess of Jin drink more.

Thin-skinned fish spring cocoons are Hui Jinrou's favorite.

The white rice is ground into a dough sheet, pasted on a hot iron plate, and it only takes a few moments to make a thin spring cocoon skin.

Then the mixed fish filling, spread on the spring cocoon skin, fold the spring cocoon skin at both ends, roll it into a roll, and fry it until it is golden, round and rolling spring cocoon, crispy and crispy.

When you bite into it, the spring cocoon skin explodes in your mouth, mixed with the fresh juice squeezed out of the filling, crispy and soft between the teeth and cheeks, and there is an indescribable sweetness.

Sour bamboo shoot soup is a new dish, I don't know why Xu Jinrou likes to eat sour recently, in order to cater to the princess's taste, Qingluan figured out this delicacy.

Heat the pot and put the oil, add the ginger, shallots, chili peppers, and stir until fragrant. Put in the chicken gizzard and chicken liver cut into small pieces, stir-fry, then add water to boil, then put in sour bamboo shoots, add sweet potato powder and stir evenly, after boiling over high heat, cool and eat, sour and soft glutinous, and the taste is excellent.

Qiongzhi is also known as stone cauliflower, between the sand and stones of the South China Sea, the shape is like coral, there are red, white two colors, the white one is Qiong branch, the red one is grass coral.

Take the Qiongzhi through water, add the dregs oil prepared by sweet grains, accompanied by ginger, pepper, wine, vinegar, and pour and mix to form the Qiongzhi, which tastes crispy and refreshing.

Xu Jinrou has eaten a lot of breakfast this time, and her appetite has been surprisingly good since she stopped retching, and the amount of food she eats each time is much larger than before, and sometimes she even has to deliberately moderate it, otherwise she will be very uncomfortable.

Fang Ruo accompanied her around Ziyunxuan's courtyard, and Xiao Xuanzi followed her.

"Princess, you said that as long as the slave said about the reward, the father-in-law in this palace will definitely be envious, and you will be right, that day the slave pretended to mention this matter inadvertently, and the hearty father-in-law of the East Palace wrote the vinegar on his face, and the slave didn't mention it in his heart."

Xu Jinrou chuckled, "I heard that Father-in-law Kexin is now King Zhao's new favorite, what are you fighting with him!" ”

"The minion is not competing, the minion just can't get used to his villainous appearance, he forgot how he used to follow the minion and listen to the teachings."

Xu Jinrou sighed lightly, "Hey, that's it, he is also the freshness of King Zhao, and I don't know how miserable it is after a long time." ”

Xiao Xuanzi was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Princess, what you taught is that the things in the East Palace are only seen by the newcomers laughing, and not the old people crying." ”

Xu Jinrou frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you won't know how to die." ”

Xiao Xuanzi stuck out his tongue, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Gently stroking her stomach with her hand, Xu Jinrou said seriously, "This palace is now pregnant, everything is just for stability, the so-called disaster comes from the mouth, you have to remember." ”

Seeing Xiao Xuanzi's sincere and frightened appearance, Xu Jinrou smiled and said: "Just know, when the silver comes, this palace will be indispensable to you." ”

Xiao Xuanzi knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave thanked the princess, and the slave knew how to speak." ”

Xu Jinrou raised her hand slightly, "Don't kneel, these days have been hard, the pear sent by the crown princess is sweet and crispy, you can take it and share it with Ruocao." ”

Xiao Xuanzi suddenly smiled, and after thanking him, he left happily.

If the crown princess has something to do, she still often comes to Ziyunxuan to walk around and visit the fetus in Xu Jinrou's womb? Talk about the shortcomings of the parents, the rights and wrongs in the palace.

The day before yesterday, I came to inquire about the eldest princess Song Yuzhi's injury, and by the way, I brought some Sydney, saying that it was sent by the family outside the palace, which was sweet and delicious, and I specially left some for Princess Jin to taste.

Xu Jinrou never eats the food sent by outsiders, so as not to endanger the life of the little one in her womb for no reason.

Delicious food is always left for Qingluan and Fangruo, if they don't want to eat it, they give it to Xiao Xuanzi and Ruocao.

I was tired of wandering around the yard, and just wanted to go back to the room to rest, when the queen sent a decree and asked Princess Jin to go to Tianshou Palace to talk.

When she arrived at Tianshou Palace, the queen asked about some things about the three divisions, and after chatting, she seemed to casually mention the matter of handing over the 10,000 taels of silver, the time, place, and the vouchers needed for the handover.

Regarding the queen's casual inquiry, Xu Jinrou answered very respectfully and seriously.

This silver was sent to the Western Barbarians when Liu Rentu left Kyoto City, and the agreed time for the handover was at noon three days later, and the location was the mountain pass of Yishan, and the person who sent the silver could return to the Xiban by water from there after the handover.

The voucher is very simple, it is a code word, the other party who sent the silver said: benevolence and courage spread to ten thousand families, and the party who received the silver replied: Loyalty and righteousness are all over the world.

Then you can get the money back.

The queen is a little strange that the handover procedure is so simple, Xu Jinrou nodded very surely, the Western Barbarians are concise and clear, that's it.

Coming out of Tianshou Palace, Xu Jinrou took Fangruo and Qingluan out of the palace to Cuiping Mountain, where the brocade factory was in full swing.

Li An invited Gu Qingqing, the most prestigious weaver in Wu County, to be the general consultant and technical guidance of the brocade factory.

Gu Qingqing is now in her thirties, and the man also died in this war between Ximan and Dachu, without children and daughters, alone, her brocade craftsmanship is second to none in the land of Wu County, unsurpassed, and Li An spent a lot of money to invite her.

Ang Li's money was well spent, and Gu Qingqing knew everything about how to build a brocade factory, and everything was clear.

Gu Qingqing's work is also very serious, conscientious, hard-working, and she arranges the affairs of the brocade factory in a clear and meticulous manner.

bought equipment, imported raw materials, and personally recruited five skilled weavers from Wu County as masters, so as to better train the newcomers in the brocade factory.

However, the brocade factory still encountered a problem, unable to recruit female workers who could work in Cuiping Mountain.

The young and middle-aged men of Dachu all moved away from Ximan, leaving many daughters-in-law and widows in the family.

The young and middle-aged man of the Western Barbarians entered Dachu again, and if he didn't pay attention to it, there might be a matter of red apricots going out of the wall, so each family strictly guarded and did not let their daughter-in-law go out to work.

As for the girls who have not left the cabinet, they are even more worried about coming to work in such a barren mountain and wild place.

After listening to Li An's explanation, Xu Jinrou gave an idea based on the experience of the previous life, which was to recruit widows or divorced women to come to the brocade factory as apprentices to weave cloth and work as errands.

Build more houses and courtyards on Cuiping Mountain for these women who come to work to live, and they can also bring their children, but the fences around Cuiping Mountain need to be heightened and strengthened to prevent more women from being harassed for no reason and causing trouble.

After agreeing on the recruitment plan, Xu Jinrou asked Li An to do one thing.

Three days later, Li An disguised himself as a Western barbarian merchant, and before noon, he rode in a carriage and pulled twenty boxes from Yishan to Mengshan, which was more than ten miles away.

Act with great fanfare, let as many people see as possible, wait for an hour after arriving at Mengshan, and then leave by water.

Li An bowed down to receive the order without a word of nonsense, and some of the things that the princess wanted to do, there was no need to ask the reason.

Three days later, in the early morning, Xu Jinrou was preparing to leave the palace, and news came from Tianshou Palace that the queen had something to say that the princess of Jin was meeting.

But when she arrived at Tianshou Palace, Mama Li said that the queen suddenly felt unwell and asked the princess to wait, and this wait was a day.

In the evening, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly rushed into the Tianshou Palace to report.

The big thing was not good, Yishan Pass suddenly carried a heavy flood of mud and rocks at noon, and King Zhao was washed away, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
