In the next few days, Su Ningxin lived the life she had dreamed of.
The Yang family was very efficient in doing things. Yang Bodang returned to the Yang family that afternoon and bought a suitable manor the next day. It seemed to be the garden of a famous family, but that family was not as powerful as the Yang family. Su Ning had a reasonable suspicion that the Yang family went to someone else's house overnight to threaten them into selling the manor.
After that, the repair work on the manor began immediately. Su Ningxin's task was to go there every day to find faults and make a lot of inexplicable but expensive requests, while the accompanying Yang family members could only She was smiling even though her body hurt. Naturally, her purpose in doing this was to make the Yang family spend money.
Of course Su Ningxin would not do anything that would harm others but benefit herself by just letting the Yang family spend money. Her fundamental goal was to make money.
The Xueshe Chamber of Commerce is developing very well in Daming Mansion, and is involved in all walks of life. Most of the people who repair the Yang family's manor are looking for the Chamber of Commerce. Su Ningxin works hard to make the Yang family spend more, and then the Xueshe Chamber of Commerce can make more money. , and Su Ningxin raised the price in advance for those decoration materials that only the Xueshe Chamber of Commerce had, so she was not afraid that she would not be able to kill the Yang family.
In addition, in order to make Su Ningxin less picky, the Yang family kept sending her various precious antiques and silver coins. Su Ningxin naturally postponed them with righteous words, and then opened her pockets to accept them. It was simply Double happiness.
Things went so smoothly because the Yang family felt guilty.
Yang Bodang returned to the Yang family and told the Yang family the news that Huangshan was not dead. The Yang family were shocked at first, and then became horrified. No matter what, the emperor is the emperor, as long as the Anjun Prince's Mansion, which controls the military power, is there, they The Yang family may be exterminated at any time because of the emperor's order.
"Bodang, you did a good job this time." Yang Xin gave Yang Bodang a rare compliment. As the leader of a clan and a father who was unsmiling, this was the biggest compliment he could give Yang Bodang.
Although he knew that Yang Xin had violated his orders and went to rescue him, Yang Xin did not feel that Yang Xin had done anything wrong. He also heard news about the emperor from the secret guards. It was said that the guards and eunuchs around him were all highly skilled in martial arts. Moreover, there were hidden secret guards who jumped out to help him. Whether Yang Bodang went to help or not had no bearing on the overall situation for the emperor.
But Yang Bodang's actions are extremely important to the Yang family. It can gain some trust from the Yang family, which was originally ranked first in the emperor's suspicion.
Yang Bodang was very confident that he had concealed the matter from the Emperor. After all, the Yang family had lived in Daming Mansion for hundreds of years, and the Emperor had very few people around him. He wanted to hide it from those secret Wei was still very simple. As for the servants and maids who disappeared at that time, he had already arranged it and would never let anyone get caught.
So when the manor was being renovated later, the weird conditions that Su Ning mentioned made the people in charge of the Yang family very angry, but Yang Xin didn't care at all. Compared with the lives of the entire Yang family, a little money was nothing.
There is a valley thirty miles outside the city. Although it is a valley, as soon as you walk in, you will feel suddenly open and bright. There are bamboo shadows, meandering water flowing, and white pear blossoms falling on the water. There is a wooden house behind the wooden bridge, which is like a paradise, quite similar to the artistic conception of a Taoist's seclusion.
This is where Gu Mingxi, the 'Emperor', lives now. The Yang family's palace is still under construction, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in a while. In fact, Gu Mingxi has no intention of actually living there. Looking for a place to stay? It's just to distract the Yang family's attention.
As for the current place to live, it was actually arranged by the Yang family. The Yang family built the current place in two days according to the request of taking care of Mingxi.
Based on Gu Mingxi's understanding of these aristocratic families, they must think that the emperor's thoughts are unfathomable, and he always has some ideas that are different from ordinary people. Compared with the splendid palaces that he is tired of living in, the emperor wants to live in It seems understandable to be a hermit in a leisurely forest.
Of course, Su Ningxin's credit for being able to build this secluded place so quickly is not small.
If she hadn't been encouraging the Yang family from behind, how could the Yang family have thought of digging up all the green bamboos in their ancestral home
How could you have thought that the emperor liked the century-old pear tree in the Yang family garden, dug up half of the garden's roots and transported it over in three oxcarts
How do you know that in such an alien world, you should use a rough tea bowl to drink tea, but the emperor only likes the rough tea bowl built two hundred years ago
From this, it can be seen that Su Ningxin’s contribution is indeed the greatest.
"Get rich, get rich!" In the wooden house, Gu Mingxi shared the banknotes with Gu Mingxi with stars in her eyes. These were all earned from the Yang family in the past four or five days. According to the old rules, she and Gu Mingxi One person takes half, and the two are happily sharing the money.
Just as they were parting, Su Ningxin heard the sound of flapping wings. She turned around and saw a snow-white homing pigeon flying from a distance and then landed on the open window sill.
Su Ningxin was also very familiar with such pigeons. It was the carrier pigeons used by Feng Ying to deliver messages. They had undergone special training, and their flight time and path-finding ability were much better than ordinary carrier pigeons.
Seeing the pigeon falling, Su Ningxin stopped what she was doing, but did not get up. Instead, she waited for Gu Mingxi to see what news there was.
Although she has a good relationship with Gu Mingxi, she has to avoid suspicion on many things. Naturally, she won't touch the news from the carrier pigeon easily. It would be embarrassing if she shouldn't know.
"I'm afraid your husband will abandon you again." Gu Mingxi, who walked to the window, unfolded the note and looked at it, then turned to Su Ningxin and said teasingly.
"Husband? Where is Chu Jihan going?" Su Ningxin asked doubtfully, but she already had an uncertain answer in her heart. Is he going to the capital
After all, Chu Jihan's identity was the leader of the Dragon Guard. Because of his special status as the heir apparent of Prince Anjun, he did not always have to be with the emperor like other secret guard leaders who had to protect the emperor in the capital at all times.
But if the emperor asked him to do something, he would definitely obey the emperor's orders and leave Daming Mansion. Now that Gu Mingxi said that Chu Jihan was leaving again, it was probably the emperor's intention.
Gu Mingxi didn't do any riddles and threw the note in her hand to Su Ningxin.
Su Ningxin opened the note and looked at the shortened text on it. It was indeed similar to what she had guessed. Prince Jing in the capital was well prepared, and the emperor didn't want to alarm too many people, so he wanted Chu Jihan to go over and give it to him. To help, it would be best if we could directly assassinate Prince Jing.
