Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 9
Yan Mu was taken aback again, Liu Yunxiang actually said that he didn't care about the people in the Jing'an Hou Mansion?
He still remembers how she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but for the life of Jing'an Houfu, she still committed herself to him.

"Master Yan, you are cruel and ruthless, but I hope this child will not be like you in the future."

Yan Mu suddenly laughed, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

"If he dares to be crooked, I'll beat him up."

At this time, the maid came over and said that Miss Yuan did not hang herself, but passed out from crying.

Yan Mu clicked his tongue: "It turns out that Zhenlie is just pretending."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "You lost."

Yan Mu said indifferently: "Go to Ruichang Bank to get it tomorrow."

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head, "How about we do business?"

"what business?"

"You give me 10 taels, and I will return you 11 taels a month later."

Soon there will be a famine in Shengjing.She wanted to save some more food before then, and it would be of great use by then.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Are you short of money?"

"Yes."

"Is it about personal relationships or business?"

"Master Yan is serious, we have no personal relationship."

"What about adultery?"

Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mufeng's eyes were raised, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was extremely unprincipled, so he gave him an annoyed look.

"The 1 taels of silver I won earlier is my sincerity."

"Oh? You didn't come prepared, did you?"

"Master Yan can earn 2 taels a month, such good business is rare."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's serious face, Yan Mu waved his hand, "If you want money, just go and get it, and I will tell the manager."

"Since the business has been negotiated, and the spring night is short, I won't bother Mr. Yan." Liu Yunxiang got up to leave.

Yan Mu held her back, "Just knock me a sum and leave?"

"Master Yan, please be careful with your words. From now on, I am not your woman, but your business partner."

"It's cold outside, I'll warm your bed."

"Need not."

Liu Yunxiang patted Yan Mu's hand away, and strode downstairs.

After going down the attic and walking in the corridor, Liu Yunxiang suddenly smelled a good smell.The taste is fragrant but not greasy, which is very appetizing.

At this time, several maidservants came from around the corner, and they all held food boxes in their hands.

Those maidservants walked by one by one, Liu Yunxiang suddenly stopped one of them, sniffed it carefully, and asked, "What's in it?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and said, "Glutinous rice chicken."

"Open it, let me see."

The servant girl knew her identity, although she felt strange, she still opened the lid.

The aroma hit his face, causing Liu Yunxiang's stomach to start beating.She hasn't eaten seriously for several days. She feels sick when she smells it, and throws up when she eats it. It's rare to see something edible, and she can't wait to pick it up and eat it right away.

"This is for... for Miss Yuan." The maid paused and said.

Liu Yunxiang swallowed reluctantly, and said with a somber face, "This smell is really bad."

After speaking, she strode forward.

After walking for a while, she turned her head and said to Jinyan: "After returning home, you ask the kitchen to make me a glutinous rice chicken."

"Huh?" Jin Yan was taken aback.

"I'm almost starving."

Back at the mansion, Jinyan woke up the cook and gave her a piece of silver, and then she was willing to get up in the middle of the night to cook glutinous rice chicken.

By the time the chicken was ready, it was already midnight.

Jinyan brought in a plate of glutinous rice chicken, "Madam, hurry up and eat some."

As soon as Liu Yunxiang smelled it, it was not right, so he took a bite reluctantly, and then spit out several mouthfuls of yellow bile.

This time, Jinyan was worried.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang went to Dechang Bank to get the bank notes, and then went to the house Zhang Qi bought.The house is quite big, and the house is in good condition, so I bought it for 1000 taels of silver.

"The remaining 2000 taels were ordered by my wife to buy rice, but the price of grain in Shengjing has risen sharply recently. It used to be [-] yuan a stone, but now it costs [-] yuan." Zhang Qi said.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, six hundred dollars a stone was indeed too expensive, and she wouldn't be able to earn much at all.

"I have built granaries all over the country, and the price of grain varies according to local conditions. Last year, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the price of grain in other places except Shengjing has dropped. For example, in Anzhou, it is only [-] yuan a stone. The situation in Shengjing is special, the Ministry of Households sets the price, and the price generally does not fluctuate too much." Zhang Qi said.

"We can transport grain from Anzhou," Liu Yunxiang said.

Zhang Qi shook her head, "It's going to be the rainy season soon, if you buy too much grain, I'm afraid it will get damp and moldy."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Don't worry about it, we won't keep it for long."

As she spoke, she took out a silver note of 10 taels to Zhang Qi.

"Is this... all food?"

"Correct."

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, "Madam, I must remind you one more time, the risk is too great."

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas."

Zhang Qi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Nowadays the water and land routes are not very peaceful, we need escorts."

Liu Yunxiang thought of this question before he approached Zhang Qi.

"You don't have some comrades who know kung fu?"

In the village where Zhang Qi lives, there is an old man who traveled abroad when he was a teenager and learned kung fu. He became a robber in a bad world. He drank and ate meat and enjoyed himself for several years.After going in for 30 years, when I came out, I was full of hair, and I had nowhere to go but to go back to my hometown.

Because he knew Kung Fu, he taught a group of boys in the village Kung Fu in exchange for food, and these boys became good brothers.

In the last life, after she expanded her business, Zhang Qi called his brothers from the countryside, and they were old buddies who had been with her all her life.

Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "There really are."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Don't make too much noise about the grain transportation. It's better to do it in secret. You should be more honest."

Otherwise, before the famine, she stored a large amount of food, and if someone found out, it would be difficult for her to explain.

"Little understands."

Zhang Qi looked at the bank note in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but get hot, not only because it was 10 taels, but also because the third wife trusted him.
