Chapter 463 He Was 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 realized that my body was sore and limp.Thinking about the mess with Cui Pu last night, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling.

It's really... almost thirty people, but the two of them often act like a young and energetic couple, always doing impulsive things.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, the smile on her face was extraordinarily sweet, and she didn't regret the impulse 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 still don't get up after waking up? Is it really me who made you tired?"

Mu Jiaojiao was startled, only to realize that Cui Pu was watching from the side!
He was lying on his side beside her, his eyes were shining, full of elation after doing something bad, it was almost flattened.

"Why are you still here?" she asked incredulously.

Today is not Xiu Mu, he should be very busy ahead of him at this time.

"I was too tired last night, so I was lazy in the morning and slept more." Cui Pu winked at her.

It's not like his style.

Mu Jiaojiao touched his head: "Are you sick?"

Cui Pu grabbed her hand in the palm of his hand, playing with her fingers boredly: "No, I'm just tired. I played with the big lady and the others yesterday, and then I spent a long time with you. I'm a real muscle I was exhausted, so I slept for too long, and when I woke up and found that it was already late, I simply snuck in and slept more. Anyway, there is Mr. Zhuang and the others in front of me, and they will help me look after it. What's the matter? , They will definitely come to me. Then I looked at you sleeping next to me, and then suddenly remembered that I haven’t seen you sleeping for a long time! Then, I accidentally saw you now.”

In other words, all those little expressions of hers just now were in his eyes?
Mu Jiaojiao blushed slightly, and quickly withdrew her hand. "You should get up."

"I don't want to get up." Cui Pu cheekily rubbed towards her, sticking close to her like a pug and refusing to let go.

Mu Jiaojiao was angry and funny. "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"It's nothing! Just thinking, we haven't gotten along so closely for a long time, it's a rare opportunity, let's enjoy it for a while!" Cui Pu whispered.

"But I'm hungry."

Uh……

Cui Pu gave her a sad look: "I don't want you to be so ignorant."

Mu Jiaojiao nodded his forehead. "I know what you've been pestering me for. But don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who wants to get into a dead end. What happened yesterday has passed, and I've seen it through, and I won't think about it anymore. Next, I will take care of myself Live, after all, you are the one who will support me for the rest of your life, right? Others, they don’t want me, so I don’t want them either. Anyway, they are just passers-by in my life.”

"Just think about it!" Hearing her brisk tone and calm expression, Cui Pu knew that she was really thinking about it, so he heaved a long sigh of relief.

Yesterday at the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County, when she learned of her true life experience, her face was terribly pale.After she came back, she also looked unhappy. He played with the children for a long time before she could show a little smile.But after the children left, her face was full of loneliness, which made people feel distressed.That appearance was really just like what the eldest lady said, like a child abandoned by relatives, innocent and pitiful, it almost broke his heart.

So when he woke up early in the morning, her face from yesterday was still lingering in his mind, so that he couldn't feel relieved to leave her alone to go out and do things.

Well, he is indeed not a good officer.In his heart, Mu Jiaojiao is much more important than the hundreds of thousands of people in the Guangzhou mansion.If something really happened to Mu Jiaojiao, he believed that he would definitely drop everything at hand to rescue her!As long as she can be kept safe and sound, so what if he is blamed by thousands of people?

He would do anything as long as he could make her show such a relieved smile!

Hey!
Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed again in his heart.

It turns out that this is what I am promising!The love between children has grown to this point, and people will definitely laugh if they say it.But he knew clearly—the dream of leaving his name in history, of being shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, has been shattered after the impact of yesterday's incident.

Although Mu Jiaojiao strongly requested, the couple still got tired of it for a while, and then they got up to dress and eat.

Now, the girls in the inner courtyard already know how tired this young couple is.So although today's incident still refreshed their cognition a bit, it was still within the acceptable range of everyone, at least their expressions were still calm.

After lunch, Cui Pu was pushed out by Mu Jiaojiao to deal with his business.

And the first thing Cui Pu has to do is 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 merchants in the Guangzhou government heard the name of Cui Pu, the magistrate, like thunder. Many people trembled with fright just hearing the word Cui.With the group of president He Wanqing and vice president Lu Huan taking the lead, others also sent generous gifts to Cui Pu and made friends with him in a humble manner.Of course, when encountering those with sinister thoughts, they will secretly sue their rivals. Isn't the best name for them to secretly associate with Governor Wei?
Cui Pu didn't use it for nothing if the ready-made handle was given to him.As a result, many Hu merchants who had frequent private contacts with Wei governor were taken down.Seeing that the direction of the wind was wrong, the rest hurried to surrender to Cui Pu.

The number of people coming and going at the gate of Governor Wei's mansion has been reduced by more than half with just one box.

After Governor Wei found out, he slapped the table at the mansion and scolded Cui Pu.However, he could only close the door and curse secretly.

And just when he was scolding vigorously, Mrs. Wei Shishi appeared in a hurry again.

"My lord, my lord, I have an important matter to discuss with you!"

"If you have something to say, let it go!" Wei Shishi was angry, and when he saw that her heart was blocked even more, he opened his mouth and cursed.

Mrs. Wei Shishi didn't care about so much now, she hurriedly said: "Master, these days the medicine fairs from Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhangzhou all come to me to get money, and they take a lot of money and leave! Listen to what they want, and then every day You have to come again every month, this is not acceptable, you can't let them come again!"

"Isn't it just a little money for medicine? It's not much, so I will give it if I give it. This is what I promised, and I have already informed the prefects in writing. It is less than a month, how can I go back on my word?" Wei Shishi said calmly .

He thought it was Mrs. Wei Shishi, because of the reason that she had already paid a thousand pennies, it would hurt her to pay any money now, and now she came to him and cried poorly.

Mrs. Wei Shishi wanted to cry to death. "My lord, look at the ledger first. If we keep spending like this, our family won't have to live!"

"It's only tens of hundreds of pennies, and everyone saves by making a few fewer clothes. How can it be as serious as you say?" Wei Governor looked down on her appearance as a money fan.As he spoke, he took over the account book and took a look at it.But just this one glance stopped the contempt on his face.

"How come there are so many?" He was taken aback.

Cui Pu had shown him the accounts in the pharmacy under the Guangzhou mansion before, how could it be so scary?
"That's right! At first I didn't take it seriously. When the butler came to ask me to pay the money, I just asked him to go to the warehouse to withdraw the money, but the butler said that the amount was too large and had to go through my hands. I just found out This amount is so huge! Besides, that’s all for one place, and every other place has so much! After a month, we spent more than 1000 yuan just to buy medicinal materials for various places! Has the house been emptied? If we come here a few more times, our family will have to drink the northwest wind!" Mrs. Wei Shishi said so much that she was about to cry.

Governor Wei frowned. "Are you sure the housekeeper didn't falsely report the accounts?"

In fact, what he wanted to say more was——did you deliberately make false accounts in order to make money for your natal family?
Mrs. Wei Shishi naturally heard his implication, and she was so angry that she was dying.But she still gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine felt something was wrong when she saw the list, so she specially called in the people from the lower medicine society and asked them to report the bill carefully. Then, I asked people to go to the medicine store in Guangzhou mansion to inquire about it." After looking at the prices of various medicinal materials, I found that they were not lying. Those medicinal materials are not very expensive, even if they are expensive, and the dosage is small, so they should not cost much. But the medicines in so many places cannot be supported. We paid all the money, didn't the price rise all of a sudden?"

The implication is that - it's all your fault!If you didn't take care of this matter for the sake of your so-called reputation, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!
Governor Wei's expression was gloomy. "I know about this matter. You should think about the money matter carefully, and try to get together next month's money first. Don't wait until the person comes again. You can't even get the money out, and you will lose our face for nothing!"

It's this time, why are you still only caring about your face?

Mrs. Wei Shishi almost yelled.

But Governor Wei looked at her with gloomy eyes, which made her heart skip a beat, and immediately swallowed back all the words that came to her lips.

And at the residence of Jinglue envoy, Pei Jinglue envoy looked at the two prescriptions in front of him, stroked his beard and sighed, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful to add fuel to the flames! The two prescriptions seem to have only subtle differences." The price of one pack of medicine is only a few cents higher than the price of another pack, but the sum of tens of thousands of packs of medicine is not a lot of money! Governor Wei will suffer for his face, but this time he will suffer a big loss !"

Doctor Bai, who was sitting across from Governor Wei, also nodded and said, "The more expensive one is more effective than the cheap one. It is not wrong for Governor Wei to spend more money, at least in all parts of Lingnan. The common people must be grateful to him in their hearts.”

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Pei Jinglue couldn't help laughing again.

What is the use of the gratitude of the people?He can't be promoted to get rich.But the real gold and silver losses of Governor Wei are genuine.He is not as rich and powerful as Cui Pu, and no matter how rich and powerful he is, his monthly expenditure of more than 1000 yuan can't be supported by himself as an economic envoy!
This kid is too ruthless, too dark!He is scared!
