She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 46 Beloved
Yun Yu took a closer look and saw that what was in Zhang Menggui's hand was an ingot of gold.

Zhang Menggui was a little obsessed with money, whether it was before or after her mental disorder; her obsession with money seemed to be engraved in her bones, and she was born to do business.

"Where did it come from?" Yun Yu asked with a smile.

It's not surprising that Zhang Menggui has gold. Now, among the ten shops in the capital, there are seven or eight with the surname Zhang, Zhang Menggui.

The grandfather of the Zhang family was not of high origin, but he was very good at doing business. By Zhang Menggui's generation, the Zhang family was already extremely wealthy.

Not only did the Zhang family become rich, they also did not forget their roots. They set up a porridge shed to serve porridge every winter, and their reputation spread far and wide. Last winter, there was heavy snow, and the snow disaster in the southeast was severe. Countless people fled. The court also provided disaster relief several times, but to no avail.Father Zhang was so righteous that he directly donated 1 taels of silver, not counting other donated materials.

Therefore, the Zhang family was a major contributor to the snow disaster last year.

The Zhang family is already extremely wealthy, and the royal family would not be sincere enough if they rewarded them with gold and silver. Therefore, the Zhang family now has the title of "Imperial Merchant" and their daughter has entered the palace to become the empress.

For ordinary merchants, this is indeed a great favor from the emperor.

Zhang Menggui was able to survive being exposed to poisonous wine. In addition to her confession before her death, her wealthy natal family was probably one of the reasons.

Ning Zhao has not been on the throne for a long time, and his authority is not yet stable. Although the national treasury is not empty, the Ministry of Household Affairs is crying about poverty every day. Besides, who would be dissatisfied with having too much money?

There are so many benefits to keeping Zhang Menggui alive.

Yun Yuwei didn't want to think deeply about the twists and turns involved. She was trapped in the palace and was content to see a living Zhang Menggui - she would find a way to make Zhang Menggui return to normal.The days in the palace were also long, and she had countless hours to waste preparing prescriptions.

"Give it to sister." Zhang Menggui held up the ingot of gold. Although he said this, his eyes were like drawings and he couldn't move away from the gold at all.

Yun Yuwei couldn't help but laugh.

"You can keep it," she reached out and touched Zhang Menggui's head, as if stroking a real child, "I don't want it."

"You don't want it." Zhang Menggui immediately smiled brightly and quickly took back the ingot of gold. His movements were so fast that he was afraid that Yun Yuwei would regret it in the next second.

"I earned this myself." Zhang Menggui said with a smile, "As soon as I make money, I want to share it with my sister. It's because my sister doesn't want it, it's not that I don't want to share it with her."

Yun Yuwei was completely amused now: "Yes, yes, I don't want it. Then tell me, how did you earn this?"

When Zhang Menggui mentioned his money-making experience, he immediately became energetic and started talking about it vividly——

It turned out that Zhang Menggui was playing outside Yilanxuan yesterday and met Wei Ruzheng by chance.

There is a bamboo forest outside Yilanxuan. In summer, the bamboo forest is becoming more and more dense and green.

A winding path leads from the middle of the bamboo forest to a small pavilion, the Bamboo Shadow Pavilion.

Yilanxuan and Bamboo Shadow Pavilion, both in name and structure, are extremely elegant.

It's just that Qiu Yan, a timid and fearful Qiu beauty, lived in the house before and never wanted to go out easily for fear of causing trouble. Now, Zhang Menggui, a noble man who has fallen in the eyes of money, lives here and only loves to count gold, silver, orchids and bamboos every day. I have no connection with her.

Therefore, the scenery outside Yilanxuan is always unappreciated.

Ever since Zhang Menggui lost her mind, Zhang Menggui has often been seen outside Yilanxuan - not because of admiring flowers, but because of Zhang Menggui's childlike nature, she wants gold and silver to catch crickets with her.

Yun Yuwei had already told her that as long as Zhang Menggui was not hurt, there was no need to restrain her; Jin Ziyinzi felt sorry for his wife's current situation, so he let her play - anyway, it had reached this point, and the noble man didn't want to Maybe she's going to bed, why not make her feel happier and more at ease?
So, Zhang Menggui went out to catch crickets as usual that day; but he didn't catch the crickets, but he caught Wei Ruzheng in the Bamboo Shadow Pavilion.

Wei Ruzheng sat in the bamboo shadow pavilion, while Qu Cang and Qu Sang stood guard in front of the pavilion, with a tallness and momentum that ordinary palace maids did not have.Zhang Menggui had not been in the palace for long, and he only met Wei Ruzheng a few times. When he saw Wei Ruzheng from a distance, he immediately became curious.

"Are they playing hide and seek?" Zhang Menggui asked in a lowered voice.

Gold and silver: "..."

"No." Now that the master's mind was different, Jin Zi had to patiently say to her, "Mother, let's go."

Concubine Jade is more than noble, she simply has her eyes above her head. She is really not afraid of anyone. Even if she doesn't like Concubine Liang, she will just quarrel with her. Now that my master has such a mind, if he accidentally gets in her eyes, I'm afraid Nothing good ends.

"Why?" Zhang Menggui was reluctant.

Jin Ziyinzi was about to coax her some more when she heard a scolding voice from the other side of the pavilion: "Who's over there?"

Okay now, I have to show up to see him anyway.

The gold and silver led Zhang Menggui to the Bamboo Shadow Pavilion, and he bowed deeply: "The noble man is playing nearby. He didn't mean to disturb the noble concubine Jade. Please forgive me, noble concubine."

Qu Sang and Qu Cang looked at each other without saying a word, but silently bowed to Zhang Menggui.

Wei Ruzheng, who was sitting alone in the pavilion, turned around and said softly: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. This is Mr. Zhang's place. It turns out that I came here uninvited. Please invite me to the pavilion for a cup of tea."

"Your honor please." Qu Cang stepped out of the way.

Zhang Menggui was not afraid and jumped along the steps into the pavilion.

Jin Zi and Yin Zi felt uneasy, but Qu Cang and Qu Sang were just guarding outside. They had no reason to follow them in, so they had to wait anxiously aside.

On the small stone table in the pavilion, there are several plates of fresh cakes and two cups of tea.

Wei Ruzheng seemed to be waiting for someone.

She also held a purse in her hand. Because she clenched it so tightly, she could only see a few tassels falling outside, and could not see the true identity of the purse.

Zhang Menggui suddenly became curious.

"What is this?" Zhang Menggui was only 16 years old. It was the bright and beautiful time, and he showed an innocent expression without any violation.

Wei Ruzheng looked at Zhang Menggui and saw that her eyes were as clear as water, as if they were like a piece of fine transparent glass. He could really see directly into her heart through these eyes.

"This used to be my beloved thing." Wei Ruzheng said softly. She slowly opened her hand, and the true appearance of the purse appeared in front of Zhang Menggui.

The purse is made of fine snow satin, with a cluster of blooming red plums embroidered on it; however, the embroidery work on some of the red plum blossoms is a bit crude, and the delicate plum blossoms on the side do not look like they were made by one person.

Zhang Menggui was a little disappointed - it is true that the snow satin is precious, but such a small purse is not worth anything at all; besides, the red plum embroidery work is so unstable, and the two red plums with rough stitching directly ruined the purse.

She grew up in a heap of brocades and has seen too many good things. Although she is now mentally retarded, her ability to discern has not been lost.

Such a purse is not a treasure by any means.

Zhang Menggui suddenly lost interest.
