Chapter 463: He's Scared
A good night's sleep.
When Mu Jiaojiao woke up, she found that the sky outside was already bright.
When I moved my body, I found that my body was very sore. Thinking about the messy tossing with Cui Pu last night, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
Is...... are almost thirty years old, but the two of them are still like young and vigorous young couples, always doing impulsive things.
However, although she thought so in her heart, the smile on her face was extraordinarily sweet, and she did not regret her impulsiveness last night at all.
I was still recalling the bad things I did last night, and Cui Pu's voice rang in my ears: "You can't get up when you wake up?"
Mu Jiaojiao was startled, only to find that Cui Pu was actually watching from the side!
He lay on his side beside her, his eyes shining, full of triumph after doing something bad, and he was so flattened.
"Why are you still here?" she asked.
Today is not Xiu Mu, he should have been busy ahead at this time.
"I was so tired last night, so I slouched in the morning and slept more. Cui Pu winked at her.
It's not his style.
Mu Jiaojiao touched his head: "Are you sick?"
Cui Pu grabbed her hand in the palm of her hand, and played with her fingers boredly: "No, I'm just tired." Yesterday I was playing with the big lady again, and then I tossed with you for a long time, I was really exhausted, and as a result, I slept too long, and woke up to find that it was late, so I simply slept and slept more. Anyway, there are Mr. Zhuang and them in front of me, and they will help me watch it. If it really matters, they're going to come to me. Then I looked at you sleeping next to me, and then it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't seen you sleeping in a long time! ”
In other words, all those little expressions she had just now were in his eyes?
Mu Jiaojiao's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly withdrew her hand. "It's time for you to get up. ”
"I don't want to get up. Cui Pu rubbed over to her cheekily, like a pug, he was tired of being by her side and didn't let go.
Mu Jiaojiao is angry and funny. "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
"It's nothing! I just thought, we haven't gotten along so closely for a long time, and the opportunity is rare, so let's enjoy it for a while!" Cui Pu whispered.
"But I'm hungry. ”
Belch......
Cui Pu gave her a white eye sadly: "I don't take you so uninteresting." ”
Mu Jiaojiao nodded his forehead. "I know what you've been pestering me for. But don't worry, I'm not the one to be the horns. Yesterday's events are in the past, and I have seen it and will not think about it anymore. Next, I'm going to live a good life, after all, you're the one who wants to support me for the rest of my life, aren't you? Others, they don't want me, I don't want them. Anyway, it's just a passerby in my life. ”
"It's good if you want to open it!" Listening to her brisk tone and calm expression, Cui Pu understood that she really saw it, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yesterday in the Hejian County Palace, when she learned her true background, her face was terrifyingly white. When she came back, she also looked unhappy, and he teased the children for a long time before she showed a little smile. But after the children left, her face was full of loneliness, which made people feel distressed. That look, really as the eldest lady said, is like a child who has been abandoned by his relatives, innocent and pitiful, so that his heart is about to be torn apart.
So when he woke up in the morning, her face from yesterday had been lingering in his mind, so he couldn't leave her alone to do things.
Well, he's not a good officer. In his heart, Mu Jiaojiao is much more important than the hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou. If something really happened to Mu Jiaojiao, he believed that he would definitely leave everything at hand to save her! As long as he could keep her safe and sound, what if he let him be pointed at by Qianfu?
As long as he can make her smile as relieved as he is now, he is willing to do anything!
Ay!
Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed in his heart again.
It turns out that this is the way I can get out! The love of children has grown to this point, and people will definitely laugh at it if they say it. But he clearly knew that the dream of leaving a name in history and a horse leather shroud that died on the battlefield had been shattered after the impact of yesterday's incident.
Although Mu Jiaojiao strongly requested, the couple was tired of it for a while before getting up to get dressed and eat.
Now, the girls in the inner courtyard already know how greasy this little couple is. So although today's events still refreshed their cognition a little, they are still within the acceptable range of everyone, at least their expressions are quite calm.
After lunch, Cui Pu was pushed out by Mu Jiaojiao to deal with his business.
And the first thing Cui Pu had to do was to sort out the list provided by the president of the Hu Chamber of Commerce that day, and then arrest and sentence people according to the list!
In just a few days, the Hu businessmen from all over the Guangzhou Prefecture heard the name of Cui Pu again, and many people trembled with fear just by hearing the word Cui. And with the group of people such as President He Wanqing and Vice President Lu Huan taking the lead, others also sent generous gifts to Cui Pu and befriended him in a low voice. Of course, when they encounter someone with a sinister mind, they will secretly sue their rivals, isn't the best name for them to secretly associate with Wei Tingshi?
The ready-made handle is sent to the hand, and Cui Pu does not need to use it in vain. As a result, many Hu merchants who had frequent private dealings with Wei Tingshi were taken down. The rest saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and they also hurried to surrender to Cui Pu.
The number of people coming and going at the gate of Wei Tingshi's Mansion has been reduced by more than half in one box.
After Wei Tingshi learned about it, he slapped the table on the house and scolded Cui Pu. However, he could only scold secretly behind closed doors.
And just as he was scolding, Mrs. Wei Tingshi appeared in a hurry again.
"Master, master, I have something important to discuss with you!"
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Wei Tingshi was angry, and when he saw that her heart was even more blocked, he opened his mouth and scolded.
Mrs. Wei Tingshi couldn't care so much now, she hurriedly said: "Master, these days, the medicine clubs in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhangzhou have come to me to get money, and they have taken a lot of it and left! Listen to their meaning, they will come again every month, this is not good, you can't let them come again!"
"Isn't it just a little money for medicine? It's not much, so I'll give it. This is what I promised, and I have already informed the local prefects in writing, and it has been less than a month, how can I regret it?" Wei Tingshi said with a calm face.
He should be Mrs. Wei Tingshi because he has already made that thousand times, and now he will be hurt if he gives some money, and now he is crying in front of him.
Mrs. Wei Tingshi has the heart to cry to death. "Master, look at the ledger first. If we continue to spend like this, our family won't have to live!"
"It's only tens or hundreds of dollars, and everyone can save a few clothes if they don't make a few clothes, how can it be as serious as you say?" Wei Tingshi looked down on her appearance as a money fan. As he spoke, he took the ledger and glanced at it. But it was this glance that made his face full of contempt pause.
"How can there be so many?" he was startled.
Cui Pu had shown him the accounts in the pharmacy at the bottom of the Guangzhou Mansion before, how could it be so terrifying?
"That's right! I didn't take it seriously at first, and when the housekeeper came to me to pay the money, I directly asked him to go to the treasury to get the money himself, but the housekeeper said that the amount was too large and had to go through my hands. I just found out that this amount is so large! Moreover, it is only one place, and there are so many in every other place! In a month, we have spent more than 1,000 yuan on buying medicinal herbs for various places alone! Master, isn't this going to empty out our family? If we come here a few more times, our family will have to drink the northwest wind!" Mrs. Wei Tingshi said that she was about to cry.
Wei Tingshi's brows furrowed. "Are you sure the butler didn't misrepresent his accounts?"
Actually, what he wants to say more is - you didn't deliberately make fake accounts in order to make money for your mother's family?
Lady Wei Tingshi naturally heard his voice, and was so angry that she was angry for a while. But she still gritted her teeth and said: "The concubine felt that something was wrong when she saw the list at that time, and specially called the people from the medicine club to come in and asked them to report the account carefully." Then, I asked people to go to the pharmacy in Guangzhou to inquire about the prices of various medicinal materials, and found that they were not lying. Those medicinal materials, each of them is not very much, even if it is a little expensive, the dosage is small, and it should not be much money. But we can't afford to pay for the medicine in so many places, isn't this price going up all of a sudden?"
If you hadn't taken care of this for the sake of so-called fame, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!
Wei Tingshi's face was gloomy. "I know about it. You have to think about the money, try to make it up for the next month first, don't wait until people come back and you can't even get the money, and you will lose our face in vain!"
It's all this time, why are you still only caring about your face?
Mrs. Wills almost screamed.
But Wei Tingshi's eyes looked at her gloomily, which made her heart chuckle, and she immediately swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
And in the envoy's mansion, Pei Jingluo's envoy looked at the two prescriptions in front of him, stroked his beard and sighed: "Wonderful, this hand is really wonderful! The two prescriptions seem to be only slightly different, and the price of one pack of medicine is only a few cents higher than that of the other, but the sum of thousands of packets of medicine is a lot of money! Wei Tingshi wants to save face and suffer from it, and this time he will suffer a big loss!"
Doctor Bai, who was sitting opposite Wei Tingshi, also bowed his head and said, "These two prescriptions, the expensive one is more effective than the cheaper one. Wei Tingshi is not wronged by this amount of money, at least the people in Lingnan must be grateful to him in their hearts. ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Pei Jingluo couldn't help laughing out loud.
What is the use of the people's gratitude? But the loss of Wei Tingshi's real money is genuine. He is not as wealthy as Cui Pu, and no matter how rich he is, he can't afford to spend more than 1,000 yuan a month!
This kid is too ruthless, too yin! He's scared!
