Spatial Farming: Busy with Cubs to Abuse Scum

Chapter 374 These Shoes Are Good

Qiao Mai didn't hum, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, the queen rarely came out, and asked the maid to carry her qin out from the boat cabin.

Such a beautiful landscape, how can there be no piano sound?

Qiao Mai closed his eyes and listened intently. The queen's piano skills are very high, and she should play a lot in normal times.

None of them spoke, just listening quietly.

After a while, the Queen finished playing, and Qiao Mai was the first to applaud.

"Not bad,"

"Mother-in-law, will you?"

"No, I'm a rough person. It's good to know some martial arts, and then I'm not good at farming, doing business, and others."

"Let's learn from each other's strengths. If I can't, you can, and if you can, I won't."

Qiao Mai has a good impression of this mother-in-law. She is gentle and not overbearing, and she can always speak to people's hearts. Not only does it not hurt people, but it also makes people feel very kind and comfortable.

She saw a fine line at the corner of the queen's eyes, so she flipped her hands and took out a refined jade box.

"After washing in the morning, rub a little on your face, you can see that you have wrinkles."

The queen immediately threw down the qin and took the jade box, and after opening it, there was a burst of fragrance.

"It smells so good, is it a moisturizer?"

"almost,"

"Then I'm going to try it now?"

Women are naturally unable to reject beauty, and when they learned that this thing can resist wrinkles, they were a little bit impatient.

It didn't take long to get out of the cabin, "Mother-in-law, your moisturizer really works. The wrinkles I noticed became lighter immediately."

"Regular use will be better"

"Thank you mother, you are so kind"

Yuan Jiaqi glared at the queen, of course my daughter-in-law will be fine, so you have to tell me.

Along the way, the queen was like a child, and Qiao Mai often fed them in different ways, and she grew a lot of meat in more than ten days.

When they arrived at the boundary of Liangzhou, their feet felt like they were stepping on cotton when they landed.

Qiao Mai found a place where no one was around, let the carriage out, and everyone drove from the pier to Liangzhou in the carriage.

"Looking at the people in the past, they don't seem to be persecuted," Yuan Jiaqi said.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Smart corrupt officials steal the money quietly."

"So the prefect of Liangzhou is smart?"

"It should be. If the people here complain, then he is at the end of the magistrate, and Jin Longwei will not let him go."

"There are very few officials who are not greedy. After all, how can the salary issued by the court make a large family prosperous and rich?"

"But I didn't stop them from doing business. Which of the women in their family doesn't have a dozen shops or Zhuangzi? Isn't that enough?"

"Upgrade, give gifts, which one doesn't cost money?"

The emperor sighed, "Those like this really can't be eradicated, as long as they don't know about it, it's fine that the Golden Dragon Guards don't find out."

While speaking, the carriage drove into Liangzhou City.

“This Liangzhou is still very prosperous”

"This is close to Xiguan. The four countries are visiting. There is no war. I have opened the border trade. All foreign goods have to go through Liangzhou. Sometimes the goods from other countries are sold out here, and they are robbed by the merchants here. After that, it will be resold to the mainland.”

Qiao Mai nodded, "There must be many teahouses, brothels, and casinos, right?"

"Um"

"The brothel is the origin of dirty diseases, and the casino is the source of viciousness that harms the people. If they are all banned, I believe the life of the people will be better."

"The open ones have turned to the secret ones. Even members of the royal family have brothels. How can they be banned?"

"Yeah, both of these are deals with quick money."

"How long are we going to be here?"

"Is half a month okay?"

The three of them all looked at Qiao Mai, and she chuckled, "I'll follow your arrangements, and I'll be your bodyguard."

The carriage stopped at the largest guest house in Liangzhou, and Eunuch Yu booked all the sky-shaped rooms of the guest house, the whole floor was full, what a great deal.

It didn't take long for this movement to attract the attention of interested people, who is it?Naturally, the prefect of Wu in Liangzhou City.

This guest house is opened by his family, as long as there are rich people and high-ranking officials staying in the guest house, he will know immediately.

"Master, they have booked the whole floor of Tianzihao. One room costs 50 taels a day, and twenty rooms cost 1000 taels a day. I heard that they will need to stay for half a month."

"Who are they?" The magistrate stroked his beard and looked at the chessboard in thought.

"There are two couples, one younger and one older, twenty guards, and a few maids."

The prefect's eyes rolled around, "Send someone to watch them, if they come out to play, that's all, if they come here to do business, report immediately."

"Yes, my lord"

Qiao Mai and the others didn't know that the group was being targeted as soon as they entered Liangzhou.

After floating on the boat for more than ten days, everyone didn't care about eating as soon as they entered the guest house, and had a good sleep first.

It's nothing to Qiao Mai, the three of them have been exhausted for a long time, although they can sleep on the boat, but generally speaking, the place is small and the bed is small, so they can't sleep well.

The guards brought in took turns to change guards, and not even a mosquito could fly in at the entrance on the third floor.

Sleeping until night, lightning and thunder blew a strong wind, and it rained heavily, and the window fans were about to be blown off.

With a wave of Qiao Mai's hand, the entire three buildings were covered with barriers, and everyone was relieved.

Before dawn, they couldn't fall asleep, and each of them stood in front of the window to watch the rain outside.

Although the ancient cities were not as advanced as modern ones, they still had drainage ditches, and the accumulated water below almost overflowed into the shops, but the direction of the water flow could still be seen with the naked eye.

Some naughty children, unable to sleep in the hot weather, also came to tread water to play, and the carriage flew past them, splashing water all over their bodies.

Laughter, cursing, one after another.

The servants went out to eat, set the table for the masters, and went out.

The emperor and empress seldom eat alone, but like to gather together with Qiao Mai. First, they don’t need to try Yubao, and second, they can eat with peace of mind.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go out today, the rain hasn't stopped"

"It's okay to go out after stopping"

"How boring is that?"

"Then go back and critique papers."

"Hey, that's what my mother-in-law dared to say to me."

Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi ignored him and started eating on their own.

"Mother-in-law, what do you think I have done with this magistrate?"

"It's not appropriate to bring these guards to fight with him, and you will suffer."

"Do you want my mother to take action?"

"What's the rush? Let's take a look first. I want to deal with him. It's not a piece of cake to deal with him. It will take half a month. No matter what, I have to find out his crimes."

"This guy is too thief, I'm afraid we will be targeted like this."

"He saw you, the emperor?"

"A fourth-rank official will naturally have the opportunity to enter the palace to see me."

"Don't be old, I know who you are as soon as you hear it, and you changed your name."

"got used to"

Qiao Mai eats well, and Yuan Jiaqi is similar. He hurriedly made a pot of tea for her, and the emperor looked at him warmly. He was always served by women, but he had never served a woman before.

However, if his woman is as powerful as Qiao Mai, he, the emperor, is also willing to serve her.

The four of them drank tea and waited for the rain outside. At noon, it finally stopped, and the stagnant water outside was almost gone.

But there was still water, the emperor couldn't sit still and insisted on going out, so Qiao Mai had no choice but to buy a few pairs of rain boots from the platform.

After the old emperor put it on, he happily ran around in the water and took off his shoes to look at his feet when he came back.

"Haha, it's not wet, these shoes are good"

Qiao Mai ignored him. If he hadn't insisted on going out, would she have made him so annoying as a bumpkin?
Yu Bao is also rare, he usually follows the emperor when he goes out, the maids don't bring anything, and it's extremely safe to have Qiao Mai with them.

The five people put on their rain boots and went out of the house. With their rain boots, they walked with great airs.

The queen was also very fresh. Qiao Mai chose a pair of blue rain boots for her. She liked them very much. She looked down at the rain boots as she walked.

The two walked hand in hand, followed by three men.

"Shall we have lunch first?"

"Okay, don't eat food that takes up too much time, let's eat some local specialties, and you can walk around after eating."
