"If my daughter-in-law takes over the errand, will His Majesty reward you?"
Gu Jiu asked weakly.
The emperor chuckled and asked her back, "What reward do you want?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "My grandson wants mountains of gold and silver, but His Majesty will definitely not be able to give it to you. It's better for Your Majesty to make the decision."
The Son of Heaven said in a clear voice: "I am the master, and I am so kind to your eldest son, General Fengguo."
Gu Jiu muttered softly, "My grandson-in-law doesn't have a son yet."
The emperor snorted, "You will have a son sooner or later. After you give birth to a son, he will be the general of Fengguo. So, you'd better give birth to a son as soon as possible."
To make money for the emperor, in exchange for a title for his future son, Gu Jiu reluctantly agreed.
"But the granddaughter-in-law has another request."
"Say!"
Gu Jiu thought about it for a while and said, "My grandson will find a way to raise money, but it's just the necessary expenses, who should bear it? You can't let my grandson bear all the expenses."
The emperor laughed.
Before even getting a penny, Gu Jiu started asking for money.
It really is Gu Jiu's style.
The emperor turned cold and asked, "How much do you want?"
Gu Jiu whispered, "Not much. Ten percent of the funds raised."
"No, 10% is too much. I can only give you half at most."
The emperor was not sure whether 10% of the silver was too much, he just subconsciously rejected Gu Jiu's proposal, and simply bargained with her. Because Gu Jiu is too shrewd when it comes to money, even the dignified emperor has to guard against her.
"It's only half done!" Gu Jiu looked disgusted, and reluctantly said: "Forget it, forget it, it's half done, half done."
The emperor laughed, "Half a cent is too little? It's better not to give a penny."
"That's not allowed. If you want to tell the horse to run, but refuse to feed the horse, there is no such reason in the world."
Gu Jiu justly complained about the emperor's stinginess.
The emperor pointed at Gu Jiu, "I'll give you half. But for a shortfall of 1.7 million taels, you can't lose even a penny. If you miss a penny, I'll ask you for a penny; if you're short of a hundred taels, I'll ask you for a penny." One hundred taels; less than 10,000 taels, I ask you for 10,000 taels. You earned money from Yuhua Lane, so you must not be short of this money."
Gu Jiu said aggrievedly: "If my grandson's daughter-in-law is short of two hundred thousand taels, five hundred thousand taels, I can't sell the palace."
The emperor snorted coldly and looked at Liu Zhao, "If you are short of several hundred thousand taels, sell Liu Zhao to the imperial court and ask him to pay off the debt."
Liu Zhao: Can I ask his opinion before selling him
Who does he provoke
The majestic grandson sells his body to pay off his debts, or pays off his wife's debts, is he still calling for injustice or calling for injustice
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, Liu Zhao must be his own, and only his own can be treated like this.
She said to the emperor, "My grandson has another request."
The Son of Heaven is very straightforward, "Say!"
Gu Jiu said loudly: "Please give me the words, Your Majesty."
…
Gu Jiu held the four characters "Exclusively for the Royal Family" and left Xingqing Palace contentedly.
These four words are her secret treasure of making a fortune.
She carefully folded the rice paper and put it in her arms.
The emperor has promised to give her the right to do things cheaply. For specific measures, consult with the Shaofu.
Hu Yang was still wiping away tears, "Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, it's my palace that got you down."
After speaking, he whimpered and cried again.
From smelly and shameless to sentimental, Huyang's transformation was so great that it was unacceptable for a while.
Gu Jiu wanted to turn around and comfort her: "Auntie, don't cry. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, this trip will have to go sooner or later, and this crime will have to be suffered sooner or later, it has nothing to do with Auntie."
Hu Yang said: "You could spend your days leisurely, but I was implicated because of me. In short, I implicated you. Instead, I will set up a banquet tomorrow and invite you to drink."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Okay!"
King Ning and Liu Zhao stood at a distance, not interfering in the conversation between the two women.
King Ning said to him: "Gu Jiu is a woman who does not give in to her eyebrows, and crushes you hard, is there any pressure?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "The woman I chose is naturally extraordinary. No matter how high she climbs or how fast she walks, she will always be my wife. I am honored."
King Ning said sadly: "Shame on you! Don't you feel ashamed to rely on your daughter-in-law to win face for you, and also rely on your daughter-in-law to earn a title for your son?"
"Husband and wife are one, why should you be ashamed?"
Liu Zhao is upright and confident, so he just eats soft rice, what's the matter.
The son's title is earned by his wife, and the money is also earned by his wife. He is proud! He can still struggle for a few years less!
And it proved that he has a good eye, in the crowd, he immediately fell in love with Gu Jiu.
All those who opposed this marriage back then were all slapped in the face.
King Ning looked at Liu Zhao's thick face and dark heart, and nodded again and again, "Finally, I'm a little like this king, and I don't hold it like that."
Liu Zhao's brows and eyes twitched, when did he hold it? The father is clearly lame.
Seeing Huyang weeping excitedly from a distance, King Ning sighed in admiration.
"Now only your wife can control Huyang."
Liu Zhao suddenly asked: "Do you want to kill the little eminent monk?"
King Ning shook his head, "Don't kill him, leave it to Huyang. The little monk has a good appearance and profound Dharma. If Huyang wants to sleep with him, let her sleep. This king is just such a biological sister, and a man died. Let her remain a widow forever."
Liu Zhao was speechless.
Has Huyang ever been a widow
Liu Zhao complained: "The reason why Aunt Huyang became like this is inseparable from your indulgence, father."
King Ning snorted, "With your wife here, why bother?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "I'm afraid I'll tire Xiaojiu."
King Ning solemnly said to Liu Zhao: "You can't tire your wife, you have to count on her in the future."
Liu Zhao responded silently.
Hu Yang finally finished talking with Gu Jiu.
The four went to Changchun Palace to meet Concubine Xiao Shu.
Seeing Concubine Xiao Shu, Hu Yang threw himself into her arms, "Concubine Mother, my daughter almost misses you."
Concubine Xiao Shu was distressed at first, then afraid, and then cursed: "Look at the good deeds you have done, you almost implicated your brother Wang. You restrain me from now on, and get rid of that little monk quickly."
Hu Yang shook his head frequently, "Father and emperor didn't even say that he wanted to kill the little eminent monk, mother and concubine are so cruel. Besides, the daughter is really nothing to the little eminent monk."
Concubine Xiao Shu: Hehe!
"Talk this to your father, you think I will believe your nonsense."
Concubine Xiao Shu knows Huyang's temperament too well.
That little eminent monk, to put it bluntly, Hu Yang just wanted to sleep with him.
Otherwise, Huyang wouldn't have the patience to go to people's side twice a day, and call it listening to the Dharma. It is good not to blaspheme the Buddha.
Hu Yang snorted, turned around, very unhappy. She even broke through the test of the father and the emperor, so she doesn't believe that she can't handle the mother and concubine.
Concubine Xiao Shu didn't want to talk to Hu Yang for the time being, she asked King Ning, "Is everything settled?"
King Ning nodded and pointed at Gu Jiu, "The eldest daughter-in-law took over the task of repairing the three halls, so the old man is willing to let me wait."
Concubine Xiao Shu choked for breath and couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty really asked you to repair the three halls?"
Xiao Shufei stared at Gu Jiu and asked.
How absurd the emperor is to make this decision.
Gu Jiu said: "The grandson's daughter-in-law is only responsible for raising funds. The important task of repairing the three halls is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu."
When Concubine Xiao Shu heard this, she became even more nervous.
She hurriedly asked: "More than one million taels, how do you raise it? That Yuhua Lane made some money, but it's not enough."
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard this, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the granddaughter-in-law cannot use her own money to subsidize the expenses of the palace, and she is not qualified, and His Majesty will not agree. The granddaughter-in-law has other ways to raise funds."
"What way?" Concubine Xiao Shu asked.
Gu Jiu said: "Grandson's daughter-in-law is putting it off first, please forgive me."
Concubine Xiao Shu was a little displeased.
King Ning interjected and said, "Concubine Mu, let the eldest daughter-in-law figure it out on her own. She knows these things better than us, so let's not worry about it and affect her plan."
"I just care about it, so maybe it's not enough to care about it."
Concubine Xiao Shu had a straight face, looking very unhappy.
Gu Jiu was very witty, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. When granddaughter-in-law prepares everything, she will truthfully report to Madam."
Concubine Xiao Shu's expression finally softened a little.
She told Gu Jiu, "The errands ordered by His Majesty are the most important. You have to hurry up and find a way to raise money. After this task is over, this palace will be considered a worry. Otherwise, everyone will never think about it this year. .
Also, you and Liu Zhao, you young couple happen to be here today, I want to talk about you, your stomach hasn't moved after two years of marriage, is it plausible
Liu Zhao, you are not too young anymore. You brothers, you are the latest to get married, and you are also the last to have children, what's the point? As the eldest son, it is your responsibility to carry on the family line and continue the bloodline of King Ning. Don't you understand? "
Gu Jiu secretly looked at Liu Zhao, and even secretly made a face, obviously taking pleasure in other's misfortune.
Liu Zhao is careful, write it down, and settle accounts slowly after returning home.
He said in a cold tone: "Grandma, grandson and Xiaojiu, sooner or later there will be a child, there is no rush. As grandma said before, the most important thing now is to complete the errands assigned by the emperor's grandfather.
After the errands are completed, the grandson and Xiaojiu can have a child with peace of mind. You can't ask Xiao Jiu to go outside to work with a big belly. Although the grandson is a man, he also knows that a woman's pregnancy is hard and needs to be considerate. "
"Are you accusing me of not being considerate?" Concubine Xiao Shu asked angrily.
Liu Zhao said expressionlessly: "Grandmother misunderstood, grandson didn't mean that."
Concubine Xiao Shu snorted coldly, but did not calm down.
Gu Jiu hurriedly came forward to smooth things over for Liu Zhao who was 'clumsy and tongue-tied', "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty reminded us to have a child early, but she was really caring about us. This granddaughter-in-law and the young master both know about it. We are all very grateful for your concern. Young Master, he is just a rough man with a stupid mouth and not very good at speaking, please don't be as knowledgeable as him, Madam."
Concubine Xiao Shu's face softened a little, what Gu Jiu said was human.
When Liu Zhao opened his mouth, he could kill his anger. I don't know where he learned it from.
Concubine Xiao Shu said: "Knowing that I care about you, I have not wasted my heart. You young couple, if you are sick, treat your illness, and take good care of your body if you are not sick. Don't mess around. The important thing is to give birth to the eldest son as soon as possible." Otherwise, I will have to personally intervene in your young couple's affairs."
Gu Jiu responded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you don't go out this time, your granddaughter-in-law and you will have good news sooner or later."
"I hope there will be such a day."
…
Go out of the palace and take a carriage back to the palace.
Gu Jiu leaned against the carriage, exhausting her to death.
Liu Zhao didn't ride a horse, so he got into the carriage cheekily and drove Qingmei and the others out of the carriage.
Gu Jiu disliked her, "I was the one who smoothed things over for you today, so she didn't get angry at you. How can you thank me?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "My son was scolded by the empress, you seem to be quite happy."
Gu Jiu laughed, "So that you can also taste the suffering I have suffered. Being born twice in three days, you know how powerful it is now."
"We should have had a child earlier, don't you want it? You have a son with a title, but you don't have a son. Do you think it's reasonable?"
Liu Zhao's gaze was like a wolf's, staring at Gu Jiu firmly.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay! Let's have a baby and play."
This was the first time that Gu Jiu answered affirmatively that she was willing to have a child. Although it seemed like she was joking, Liu Zhao knew that she was serious.
He was ecstatic in his heart, but kept his face calm, and asked: "Really?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "As your mother said, you're not too young, it's time to have a child."
Liu Zhao's heart was filled, and he made a small note, "I dare say we have never had children, the responsibility lies with me. It's all because I'm too young, isn't it?"
Gu Jiu said with certainty: "Of course the responsibility lies with you. Look at yourself, the little salary you earned, and your Juelu, is it enough to support yourself, or is it enough to support a child? Anyway, earn yourself a title and earn a little more money every year."
"All my juelu is used to raise children." Liu Zhao was straightforward.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Then what do you eat?"
"Eat you!" Liu Zhao slammed loudly, and it was rare to speak of eating soft rice so confidently.
Gu Jiu gave him a blank look, and said with disgust, "It costs a lot of money to raise you."
Liu Zhao nodded, and said solemnly: "My son is indeed more expensive. But I have escorted my wife all the way. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. Besides, my wife has a good way of making money. No matter how expensive my son is, I can't afford you."
Gu Jiu fell into sweat.
She stared at him and tortured him spiritually, "Can I have some face?"
Liu Zhao was puzzled, "Madam, don't you know that the Liu family has always been shameless?"
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, it was indeed the same.
The emperor is shameless, King Ning is shameless, and now Liu Zhao has also learned how to be shameless, and he is also learning to be shameless.
What the hell, grandsons, eating soft meals from their wives without any psychological barriers, what kind of spirit is this! How thick-skinned!
Gu Jiu raised her fist and punched him.
accurate!
Very upset!
Liu Zhao doesn't even want face, how will she treat him in the future
She was able to bully Liu Zhao in the past, wasn't it because Liu Zhao wanted face.
ah ah!
Gu Jiu went crazy.
He bit Liu Zhao's arm again.
Liu Zhao silently remembered that this was already the third stroke of the day. Close the door at night to settle accounts carefully.
After Gu Jiu bit it, her teeth hurt.
She snorted, very arrogantly, "I'm very upset now, don't talk to me."
Liu Zhao was kind and kept silent.
After a while, Gu Jiu became more upset and kicked him, "Why are you silent?"
"You told me not to speak, I respect your opinion."
cut!
Gu Jiu swung his fist again and hit him.
"Now my wife allows you to speak, what do you want to say?"
Liu Zhao said, "I want to spend ten thousand taels of silver."
go to hell!
Just two days after returning to Beijing, I have to spend money, and it is still 10,000 taels.
Gu Jiu asked seriously, "What are you doing?"
"Those people cannot be allowed to continue to stir up trouble."
Gu Jiu cheered up, "Do you know who is plotting against us behind our backs?"
"It's already a bit of a clue. Will you give me the money?"
What's the matter, Liu Zhao wants money, and he needs to be very straightforward. I went to Beirong, I don't know anything else, the thickness of the skin is 100% cultivated.
Gu Jiu frowned, "This kind of expenses have always been paid by the public account. Why don't you use the public account?"
Liu Zhao said: "There is no money in the public account, only a series of numbers."
"Gongzhong is so poor?" Gu Jiu couldn't believe it.
She only manages the accounts of the kitchen, and the general accounts of the public house are in the house order, and Princess Pei holds them.
Therefore, she didn't know that Gongzhong had no money, and was so poor that he was almost unable to get rid of it.
"Didn't the money from Jiangnan be sent back, why is Gongzhong still out of money?" This was Gu Jiu's doubt.
Liu Zhao said softly: "All the money in Jiangnan was embezzled by my father for other purposes, so the Duke has no money."
Gu Jiu understood.
King Ganqing Ning is the real money burner, a black hole that sucks money.
She nodded, "After I go back, I will ask Qingmei to give you ten thousand taels of silver."
After a pause, she asked again: "If you find out who is behind the scenes, what are you going to do?"
Liu Zhao smiled at her, saying nothing.
After finding out who was behind the scenes, it was natural to find a way to kill him.
Even if there is no way to kill the opponent, it must be disabled.
