Chapter 257 Impatient

 Ten shops, where did she get so much money? Could it be that all the rewards given to her by the emperor were used to open a shop? She thought opening a shop was as easy as drinking cold water! "

Hua Ruiming said with a sad face: "I don't know where she got the money, but it is obvious that she is competing for business with Guiyunge.

 I don’t understand why she would do this? Speaking of which, we are also a family. Could it be that she has some misunderstanding about us? "

Liu's eyes flickered and she said, "What misunderstanding can there be between her and us?"

Hua Ruiming looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Yanran doesn't suspect that we took her things away, does she?"

Ms. Liu said plausibly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How come we have taken something from her?"

Everything in the Hua family was burned down in a fire back then. Everything we have now was earned by your father. "

"Why is she so hostile to us? Yes, that's right. On the day I first found out her identity, I went to Wutong Lane to pick her up. She said something wrong. When she looked at me, her eyes were full of disgust. Ordinarily, she and I had been quarrelsome before. We had dinner together…”

Liu Shi caught the information in Hua Ruiming's words and asked: "Have you met that Nizi before? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you say it?"

Hua Ruiming said impatiently: "That is all in the past, I want to find out why she is hostile to me.

 She came to the capital, and within a few months, she opened ten shops at once. How did she do it?

How did she, a little girl, do it? Who was helping her behind the scenes? "

Hua Ruiming leaned back on his chair, looked up and asked a series of questions.

Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard what her son said.

 That's right, a girl who grew up in a ravine, how did she do it?

 Obviously, Hua Yanran would never be able to do it on her own. So who is helping her?

Before Mrs. Liu could figure it out, Hua Ruiming continued: "She has a rouge shop on Taoyuan Street, a house on Wutong Lane, and a village outside the city.

 These were all arranged by the emperor before he made her the princess.

I asked people to inquire and found out that she bought the shop on Taoyuan Street, the house on Wutong Lane and the Zhuangzi outside the city.

She couldn't buy the house, the village, or the shop for less than one hundred thousand taels of silver. Where did she get so much money?

You should know that her adoptive father and mother's family were so poor that they didn't even have enough to eat. "

Liu asked tentatively: "Could it be Lu Liu who was helping her? For her, Lu Liu canceled all the good marriages in Wang Xiangfu. It's not unusual to do this for her."

Hua Ruiming shook his head, "It's not unusual. Even if Lu Liu is willing to help her, he must be capable.

Lu Liu was not the head of the family in the British government, and his monthly allowance was fixed.

Zixun and the others only have fifty taels of silver per month.

Even if Lu Liu received the regular money from the British government and the Chengguo government at the same time, he would only have one hundred taels of silver per month. After one year, there are one thousand two hundred taels. Even if Lu Liu spends nothing, it will take ten years to save twelve thousand taels.

The British government cannot provide money for the people under Lu Liu. These people depend on Lu Liu to support himself.

Lu Liu had to support so many people, so it was impossible for him not to spend money.

 A few years ago, Lu Liu went out to travel, spending money like water when he was away from home...

 It is conceivable that Lu Liu cannot be rich. "

Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "If it's not Lu Liu, where does her money come from? Who is her sponsor?"

Hua Ruiming felt a sense of enlightenment when he heard the word "gold master".

  said: "The money owner, this must be the case. There must be a money owner behind Hua Yanran, otherwise, where did she get the money from?"

Liu Shi nodded clearly, "Yes, that must be the case. Because of her good looks, she committed herself to a rich man.

No wonder she didn’t come back when we picked her up. If she came back, the financial institution would want to see her. How inconvenient it would be! "

The more Liu talked, the more he felt that he was right.

Hua Ruiming nodded and said, "That must be the case. Only in this way can it be explained."

 I cursed in my heart, I still thought she was a good product, but she was just as despicable as she didn’t know.

Liu Shi looked at Hua Ruiming and asked, "That Nizi opened her shop near Guiyun Pavilion. Does she want to steal our business?

Did we recruit her or provoke her? The capital is so big, where would it be better for her to open? She chose to open it near our shop.

Why can’t she be so rude to others? This little **** is so bad. Is our business affected? "

Hua Ruiming said angrily: "She specifically targets us, can we not be affected?

 Judging from the letters sent back from shopkeepers, every shop has been affected. "

Liu said angrily: "What should we do? We have to find a way to go back."

"What are you thinking of? Is there any good idea? The shop in the east of the city has returned. Instead of getting rid of her, she has been compensated with six to seven thousand taels of silver."

It's okay not to talk about this matter. When it comes to this matter, Hua Ruiming becomes a little angry.

"Why do you have to pay six to seven thousand taels of silver to go out? What's going on?" Liu asked.

Hua Ruiming explained the matter in a few words.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said: "Cui Mingqing is a young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, how can she be allowed to do whatever she wants?"

Hua Ruiming said: "Cui Mingqing can't be blamed for this. Hua Yanran moved the emperor out. Who dares to mess around?"

"Then what should we do? Just let her bully us?"

Hua Ruiming sighed and said, "Deputy Envoy Yang came here just now. He said that we should stay put for now and see what Hua Yanran will do next."

Ms. Liu asked: "Let's see what she does? Hasn't she already opened a shop to grab business? Do we still want to watch? Until we see her opening shops one by one, and watching our shops closing one by one?"

 Isn’t robbing business the same as robbing money? Thinking of her white money being robbed, Ms. Liu was so anxious that she wanted to steal the guy and beat him up.

Hua Ruiming said: "Mom, don't worry, everyone is thinking of ideas.

Longyingwei relies on Guiyun Pavilion and Baofeng Bank for support. If there is a problem with Guiyun Pavilion, Longyingwei will be most affected. The Dragon Shadow Guard is the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guard, and the Emperor will not let anything happen to it. "

After hearing Hua Ruiming's words, Mrs. Liu felt a little more at ease and said, "Brother Ming, write a note quickly and go see the emperor tomorrow and report this matter as soon as possible."

Hua Ruiming thought for a while, nodded and said, "My mother-in-law reminded me that this matter must be reported to the emperor earlier."

After finishing speaking, Hua Ruiming stood up and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat first. Then write the book after eating."

When Mrs. Liu heard that her son was hungry, she immediately stood up and said, "Yes, let's eat first. I'll ask someone to serve the food. You go and see Ziqiu and take her to eat with you."

Hua Ruiming said impatiently: "Didn't Aniang say she should rest? I just let her sleep when she is tired. Why should I call her?"

Liu Shi pushed Hua Ruiming and said, "Go if you are told. Why are you talking so much? Go and come back quickly."

Hua Ruiming muttered, but still followed Liu's wishes and went to Lu Ziqiu's yard.

In the Palace of Qianqing, the emperor listened to the man in black reporting what happened in the east office of the city, and said, "I know, you can go down."

 The man in black retreats.

The emperor picked up his pen and continued to review the papers, while Eunuch Gao stood beside him.

After a long time, the emperor finished approving the papers in his hand, stood up and stretched. He opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think of this matter in the east of the city?"

Eunuch Gao said, "The princess surprised me."

The emperor pursed his lips slightly and said, "I am also surprised. This girl is bolder than me."

Eunuch Gao smiled and bowed and said, "Yes, Commander Hua is too regular."

 The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, took the teacup handed over by Eunuch Gao, lowered his head to sip the tea, then handed the teacup back to Eunuch Gao's hand, and leaned back to find a comfortable position for himself.

  murmured: "Yes, Hua Ling is too well-behaved. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone like this. How many people around this girl are from the Long Shadow Guard?"

Eunuch Gao said: "Come back to me, Han Shi, the shopkeeper of Half Day Free in the east of the city, is the favorite disciple of Zhu Mingdao, the life-chaser in Longyingwei, Zhu Lao. He has been passed down by Zhu Lao and is known as the 'little life-chaser'. Always by Mr. Zhu’s side.

Until five years ago, when something happened to the Hua family's old house in Jiangnan, he escaped, and then followed the princess to Beijing.

Wang Qin, who managed the rouge shop on Taoyuan Street for the princess, was once a well-known Jin Yuyi in Hangzhou. He was a master of light skills and a good hand with hidden weapons.

Wang Qin studied under Liu Yiyi of Longyingwei. After Liu Yiyi traveled around, Wang Qin followed Mr. Zhu.

Wang Qin, Ruan Wu, and Mi Chen all followed Mr. Zhu to Shicheng to meet the princess, and then stayed with the princess.

 At the moment, Hua Da and Su Er are the only ones with whom the princess has no trace of their past. "

The emperor nodded slightly, "In this world, there are those who judge the Lord, and there are also those who loyally protect the Lord. If you can't find out, just be patient and wait. One day you will find out.

Just like the situation in front of me, it has been silent for fifteen years. No matter what methods I used before, they kept silent.

I thought I would never be able to wait in my lifetime...

I am very much looking forward to this girl. You will go out to the palace tomorrow and give her a fish charm. Let people know that Yanran does not need to ask for permission to enter the palace. "

Eunuch Gao bowed and said, "Yes, I obey the order."

The emperor stood up, walked to the chess table, sat down, looked at the chess score, reached out and picked up a black stone and placed it on the chess board.

He looked up at Eunuch Gao and asked, "Lao Wu went to the British government's residence today?"

Eunuch Gao leaned forward and said: "Back to the emperor, today the prince went to the Ying Gong Mansion. After arriving at the Ying Gong Mansion, he first went to the Ying Gong's courtyard. After leaving the Ying Gong's yard, he went to Liu Ye's yard. In Liu Ye's Yuanzi sat there for about a quarter of an hour, and then went to Mrs. Yang's yard for a walk.

 After the prince came out of the British Duke's Mansion, he went directly back to Prince Xian's Mansion. "

The emperor listened to Eunuch Gao's words while playing chess. After Eunuch Gao finished speaking, the emperor did not speak.

Eunuch Gao stood by the side and said nothing.

After a while, the emperor put down the white chess piece in his hand, grabbed another black piece, held it in his hand, and said, "Lao Wu is a little anxious."

Eunuch Gao did not answer the question. He had served the emperor for many years. He knew that the emperor was not asking him this question.

The emperor dropped the black stones in his hand on the chessboard. After a while, he said: "Follow his wish and ask someone to come in and draw up the decree. Let Lai Shun go to the court tomorrow."

 Eunuch Gao bowed and said, "Yes. The old slave will ask someone to come in right now."

 The emperor stood up and said, "Go."

Eunuch Gao exited the imperial study. After a while, people from the Hanlin Academy came in to draft the marriage decree. Then exit the Imperial Study Room.

 Eunuch Gao put the imperial edict away.

The emperor said: "Tomorrow you go to see Yanran, and stop by to see Ziqin. Take the thousand-year-old ginseng that was sent as tribute to the Zhou Dynasty last time, and tell Ziqin that I will wait for him to come to the palace and play chess with me."

Eunuch Gao bowed and said, "Yes, I obey the order."

 The Prime Minister’s Mansion is indeed a top-notch wealthy family. After the corpse dumping case, there was an uproar outside, but it was a different scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The whole house was as orderly as usual, and there was no panic.

Of course, this is just an appearance. The servants who are waiting closely can detect the master's uneasiness.

Mrs. Shangguan looked forward to it from morning to afternoon, until the sun set, but she did not expect the imperial edict to confer marriage.

 Mrs. Shangguan said to Mother Yang: "I will go to the Buddhist hall to recite sutras. The Prime Minister will come over and ask the Prime Minister to wait for me here."

Mother Yang bent her knees and said, "Yes, I understand."

Wang Peiyun walked around in the yard countless times, but finally couldn't hold it any longer and turned around and walked out.

 Grandma Guan hurriedly shouted: “Miss, where are you going?”

Wang Peiyun replied without looking back: "Go to mother."

Mammy Guan caught up, took Wang Peiyun's hand and said: "Miss, the old lady has an order. People in each courtyard can only stay in their own courtyard today, and they are not allowed to run around in each courtyard.

People in each court perform their duties and are not allowed to gather together to chat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished with a stick of twenty large boards and then sent to Zhuangzi. "

Wang Peiyun stopped, turned around and asked, "Did something happen today?"

Grandma Guan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Grandma Yang came here personally to give these instructions. I don't dare to ask."

Wang Peiyun hesitated and said, "I'll go to Anfu Hall to pay my respects to my grandmother."

Grandma Guan grabbed Wang Peiyun who was about to leave and begged: "Miss, Grandma Yang said that the old lady is busy these days, so there is no need for the lady to go and say hello in the morning and evening."

Wang Peiyun stared at Granny Guan and asked, "You don't even need to say hello?" with a look of disbelief on his face.

 Grandma Guan nodded, "Yes, there is no need to say hello in the morning or evening."

Wang Peiyun nodded solemnly and said: "Something must have happened in the house. I don't care. I have to go to Aniang's place to see if anything happens. I will take care of it."

Aunt Guan didn't listen to Wang Peiyun at all. She held Wang Peiyun tightly with both hands and begged: "Miss, no one can violate the old lady's order. I don't want to go to the village. I want to stay with the young lady and serve her." Miss for life.

The young lady took pity on the old slave and stayed in the courtyard waiting for the old lady's call. Okay? "

As she begged Wang Peiyun, Grandma Guan said to the maid and woman beside her: "What are you doing just standing there? Do you want to get hit by the board and then go to the village?"

The maid immediately knelt down and begged: "Miss, I beg you to stay here."

Wang Peiyun was very anxious. Looking at the servant kneeling on the ground, he stamped his feet angrily and walked back helplessly.

 Mrs. Shangguan recited the sutra once and came out. Seeing that there were only Aunt Yang and a few servants in the room, she asked, "Isn't the prime minister here yet?"

Mother Yang leaned forward and said, "Go back to me, madam, the prime minister hasn't come yet."

Mrs. Shangguan asked: "Has the Prime Minister returned to his residence?"

Aunt Yang shook her head and replied: "Back to the old lady, I told the concierge that if the Prime Minister comes back to the house, let them go to Anfu Hall to report. The concierge has not come back to report. It seems that the Prime Minister has not returned to the house. ”
