Jinyi Music

Chapter 350

The people here could hear the noise next door. It seemed that many people were yelling. Mama Wang came back after a while.

"Young Madam, the young master of the Wu family next door fell into the soup pond, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and passed out. He is calling for a doctor to come over right now!"

Silian raised her brows and ordered,
"Mom, go and have a look!"

Saving people is like putting out a fire. When she puts on her clothes and goes there, it may be too late. Why don't you let Mama Wang go there quickly. If it's just choking, you don't need to call a doctor, Mama Wang can help!

Mama Wang nodded, turned around and went out to knock on the door next door. She went in under the name of Si Lian, but the Wu family didn't stop her, and invited her in. After waiting for about a stick of incense, Mama Wang came back.
"Young Madam, the child has woken up!"

Si Lian asked for details, and Mother Wang said,
"The young master just choked on the water and closed his breath for a moment. When the old slave passed by, his face was blue and purple. The old slave used his internal force to force the water out of the young master's throat, and he recovered immediately..."

Si Lian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words,

"That's good! That's good!"

After she got up from the massage, she got up and put on her clothes, and when she was watching the girls massage, the third young lady of the Wu family led the girl over there. The two sisters held her hands and their eyes were red.

"Fortunate to have you here, if not...today...today..."

As she spoke, the third young lady of the Wu family burst into tears, and Miss Lu Wu also said,
"Fortunately, that mother of yours is a skilled person. She only patted the back twice before the water came out. If you wait until the doctor comes, I'm afraid..."

She didn't dare to say what happened next, let alone think about it, she just pulled Si Lian to cry.

Silian Road,
"As long as the child has nothing to do, be careful in the future, you can't leave people around the child..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu Sanshao's face darkened, she gritted her teeth and said,

"Our brother Jing is the most well-behaved. The big pool in the house never goes to the side. Today, he just fell into it with a wrong eye. It is obvious that someone hurt him..."

When Miss Lu Wu heard the words, she hurriedly pulled her sister, and Madam Wu Sanshao stopped talking, covering her face with a handkerchief and began to cry. Seeing this, Si Lian hurriedly said,

"There is still a child at home, go back quickly, when the child is well, we will make an appointment to go out to play again!"

The two sisters really cared about the child, thanked her a few more words, and then left.

Si Lian returned to the backyard, looked at each other with the maids and women, and they all sighed secretly. The third lady Ruan looked indifferent. She walked around the backyards of each house a lot. She has seen and heard such things. However, it is not surprising!

Mama Wang said to Si Lian,
"Young Madam is young, it will be good for the future to hear and see more about such things..."

Now that the eighth master and the young lady are newly married, naturally they won't have the trouble of competing for favor in the backyard, but the two are still young, and the eighth master has held a high position since he was young. In the future, people will enter the backyard of the family, the young lady has a temper She is pure and kind, and she is generous. If she doesn't learn some tricks, she is afraid that the concubines will get on her head in the future.

"Here...you have to learn more from Madam!"

Mrs. Liu said that in the backyard of the Mou family, no concubine would dare to do anything wrong, but the male master of the family still respects her very much. Even these tricks are enough for Si Lian to learn for a lifetime!

Silian's smile was a bit bitter, but she didn't speak. She doesn't like to fight with others. Besides... life is short, and it goes by in a hurry. She really doesn't want to waste her limited time fighting with others. If... If there is such a day, she will reconcile with Xiao Lin and leave the Mou family. As long as she has two hands, she will not starve to death!

When there was nothing to say at night, after Silian's massage, she really slept very comfortably. When she was woken up by the noise outside, she opened her eyes, but she was so weak that she didn't even want to move her fingers. When the strength came, he asked aloud,

"what happened?"

Hongyu from outside came in to report,

"Young madam, something happened next door?"

Si Lian sat up in surprise,
"What happened, but the child is not well?"

Hongyu shook her head and whispered,

"The concubine of Mr. Wu San next door...is dead!"

Si Lian spends the winter in Wentang Zhuangzi, while Mou Biao on the other end is preparing to return to the capital from Kaifeng. The crown prince sent a few memorials to Beijing in Kaifeng. I don’t know what your majesty and the crown prince said in the memorial. In between, it was a promise that all merchants who have contributed to raising food this time will be exempted from taxes for three years.

At first glance, this remark sounds like a mighty kindness from the emperor, but the merchants are not fools, they can be coaxed away with two or three sentences. ?
It is the imperial court that has the final say!

How much is meritorious service in raising food?

Ten thousand tons, one hundred thousand tons or one million tons?
If it’s [-] dan, it’s good, but if it’s [-] dan, it’s a bit of a challenge. If it’s a million dan, no one has such a great ability, so when it comes to tax exemption, isn’t it like the moon in the well, which people can see Is it for fun?

The businessmen are shrewd, what they want is a truth from the crown prince!
But Zhu Houzhao was not sure, he didn't know the details of these people, he couldn't tell if there was too much, and he couldn't save the emergency if there was too little, and he couldn't explain it to his father.

Zhu Houzhao then asked Mou Biao,
"From Xiao Lin's point of view, how much is appropriate?"

Mou Biao thought for a while and smiled,
"I'm not very proficient in this matter. I sent Jin Yiwei to inquire around the city, and we invited the third Miss Mu to ask... The Mu family is a big family in the city, and the third lady must know it well... ..."

After thinking about it,

"Prince, according to Weichen, this matter is just a bargain. These businessmen value profits, and they naturally expect to spend less money to do more. Why don't we let that Miss Mu San check out the tone of the family and get a feel for it?"

In this way, the hatchback is compared, and then lifted up, it is almost enough to think about it!

Zhu Houzhao nodded,
"Okay, let's do it!"

As soon as he opened the door, he called Miss Mu San who was standing outside. Now she is the prince's maid, and because she can read and write, she only serves in the study. The two of them discussed in the study, and Miss Mu San waited outside. , so come in to salute,
"Prince, what is the purpose of summoning slaves?"

Zhu Houzhao asked her,
"According to your Mu family's ability, if you raise food this time, how much can you raise?"

Miss Mu San thought for a while and said,

"It's okay to be responsible for one hundred thousand..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked again,

"Then how many wealthy households in this city can be like yours?"

Miss Mu San thought for a while and said,

"This... this servant doesn't know, this servant is just a girl raised in a deep boudoir, she knows a little about her own family affairs, but other people's family... I'm afraid I have to ask my servant's father to know!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded,
"If that's the case, go back and ask. The Mu family is a big family in Kaifeng and can speak in the Henan Chamber of Commerce. If you think about it, you must have more ideas than others!"

Miss Mu San really went back to see Mu Liancheng, the old fox Mu Liancheng immediately laughed,
"Go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince, [-] dan... Our family can raise [-] dan..."

Miss Mu San frowned when she heard this,
"Father, I'm afraid [-] stones are less..."

Mu Liancheng snorted and said,

"What do you know? How can the court's appetite be filled? If you dare to talk to him about 30 dan, do you believe that he can let you pay [-] dan?"

Ms. Mu San replied,

"With our family's financial resources and Dad's contacts in the Chamber of Commerce, isn't 30 tons easy?"

Mu Liancheng shook his head and said,

"Stupid child, this is asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot. If you are as sincere as you are in business, wouldn't you be dead by now? We need to take it step by step, adding again and again. It's too straightforward. How about the crown prince?" Can you remember us?"

"This……"

Miss Mu San hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing, went back and hesitated again and again, instead of going to see the prince, she went to look for Mou Biao first.
"Lord Mou, I have something to ask Master Mou!"

Mou Biao nodded, and took her to the gazebo on the rockery in the back garden. The two sat across the stone table, and Mou Biao brought Mou Long and Mou Hu by his side. Followed behind them, ready to support at any time, now that the crown prince has revealed his identity, they followed up, still waiting by Mou Biao's side.

The two sat down, and Mou Hu went to make a pot of tea.

"Miss Mu San, please tell me what's the matter!"

Miss Mu San smiled and said,

"My lord, now I am a maid by the prince's side, I dare not call you young lady anymore, my lord should call me You Rong!"

Mou Biao shook his head,

"This is the lady's boudoir name, don't make random calls..."

I still call her Miss Mu,
"What do you want to ask?"

Mu Yourong said,

"Ahead... the prince sent his servants to ask for food..."

She thought about it and asked,

"My lord, this servant went back and asked my father, and my father said that he could raise [-] dan..."

Mou Biao laughed when he heard this,
"Master Mu is joking, [-] loads..."

This is... to send beggars away?
Mu Yourong could see what he said, to be honest, she also felt the same way, so she gritted her teeth and said,

"My lord, the servants also feel that there are too few, but...but the Mu family is the father of the family, and I, as a daughter... can't control...but...but if I tell the prince this, I'm afraid that the prince will I feel annoyed in my heart, servant girl... slave servant also wants to serve His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly!"

Mou Biao understood the words. It seems that this Miss Mu has a big heart and wants to fight for a place in front of the prince, so she asked,

"Even if Ms. Mu has this heart, why don't you go back and persuade Patriarch Mu, and set an example for the whole city and even the whole Henan Chamber of Commerce, so that everyone can see the righteous deeds of Patriarch Mu. I think the prince will see it. Patriarch Mu's loyalty will definitely treat Miss Mu differently!"

Mu Yourong bit her lip for a while before saying,
"This truth is naturally known to the servants, but... only the servants have to plan for...for the family..."
