Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

4Chapter 16: The poor king of a country (1/5)

When Empress Changsun saw the brocade box, she returned the previous bottle of perfume to Li Er.

This made Li Er feel even more embarrassed.

He greeted Qin Mu from head to toe in his heart.

But as the king of a country, it is not easy for him to curse the street because of this matter.

What's more, this perfume was what he begged Qin Mu for, and it wasn't what Qin Mu insisted on forcing it on him.

In a moment, Li Er thought of 1 reasons to suppress his anger.

It's just that the anger can't be suppressed, but the unhappiness in my heart is still relentless.

Li Er's face was ashen, and he looked at Qin Mu with a faint gaze, "Qin Mu, didn't you tell me that there is only one bottle of perfume, and there are no other finished perfumes? Why did you make a box in a blink of an eye?"

"In vain, I also mentioned to the queen that this perfume is a unique treasure. If you are like this, you are suspected of deceiving the emperor!"

Li Er had a displeased face, and cursed secretly in his heart.

You shameless bastard, let me lose face in front of Guanyin's maidservant, how can I make you feel better.

snort!

At this time, Li Er was like an arrogant child.

It's just that his arrogance was quickly torn apart mercilessly.

Hearing Li Er's words, Qin Mu was a little puzzled.

Why do you come to beg me by yourself, but you still think of deceiving me as a bully?

Besides, is it that serious?

I know you can't afford Li Er, but I didn't expect you to be so unaffected?

Qin Mu was thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, and was about to speak back.

Princess Xiangcheng beside her couldn't wait to protect her husband.

She quickly said: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the son-in-law, it is the decision of the son-in-law."

"And the son-in-law is not lying. This box of perfume was made by the son-in-law after the emperor left."

"My son heard that my mother was in a bad mood, so I thought of giving this gift to make my mother happy."

"So, where did the father start the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Looking at Princess Xiangcheng's eagerness to defend Qin Mu.

Li Er frowned, slandering in his heart.

It is really a daughter who is married, and the water is poured out.

When I arrive at my husband's house, I forget about my mother's house. Is my real father not as good as your husband?

It's just that he hasn't waited for Li Er to speak for himself.

Empress Changsun on the side continued to speak: "Your Majesty is bullying Xiangcheng and Mu'er by saying something to bully the emperor."

"It's rare for Xiangcheng and Mu'er to show filial piety. Your Majesty's attitude will inevitably make people feel chilling. If other princes and princesses hear about it, I'm afraid no one will dare to show filial piety in the future."

"Or, His Majesty just thought of using perfume to perfuse his concubines in a hurry, and now that Xiangcheng and Mu'er's sincerity has been compared, so he feels dissatisfied and intentionally commits a crime?"

A moment ago, it was the daughter who was anxious to help Qin Mu stop the responsibility.

At the next moment, his daughter-in-law stood up for Qin Mu with righteous words.

At this moment, Li Er's expression was livid and embarrassing.

Even, Li Er suddenly felt a little pitiful and pathetic.

This is obviously Li Er's palace and his home, but compared to Qin Mu, why does he look like an outsider?

But now that the daughter-in-law and daughter protested, it was Qin Mu who took the lead.

Li Er's trick of putting on a crown and wearing a hat and turning right and wrong failed.

I had no choice but to be honest and apologize to Empress Changsun with a smile.

"The Guanyin servant girl misunderstood, I have no dissatisfaction, no dissatisfaction."

Looking at the majestic king of a country, surrounded by his wife and daughter, he had no choice but to give up.

Qin Mu swallowed the words that reached his throat.

Instead, he looked at Li Er with sympathetic eyes, and thought to himself.

This matter really has nothing to do with me.

Seeing Qin Mu's sympathetic eyes looking at him, and that look of staying out of the matter.

Li Er was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.

It is said that the dumb eat Coptis chinensis is suffering and cannot tell, and I don’t know how the emperor feels when he eats Coptis chinensis?

Empress Zhangsun, who received the perfume brocade box, was in a good mood.

The little awkwardness with Li Er disappeared.

After staying in the Lizheng Hall for a while, Xiangcheng and Qin Mu returned to the mansion.

After Qian Duoduo got Qin Mu's formula.

In the Mangya Industrial Zone, a perfume making workshop was arranged.

And before selling the perfume, a notice was issued.

On the day of the sale, there was a long queue at the gate of Mangya Trading Company.

In the city of Chang'an, the daughters of various families who usually don't leave the gate without leaving the door, all came to Mangya Trading Company in person.

I was afraid that if I was a step too late, the perfume would be sold out, and I would be outdone by another lady.

Seeing all the well-educated young ladies rushing for a bottle of perfume without caring about their image.

Qian Duoduo also witnessed the purchasing power of women.

The Mangya Trading Company made a lot of money, and he couldn't help but sigh again: "The son-in-law has made a lot of money, and the money is too easy to earn."

Time flies, white horses pass by.

Soon came August of the third year of Zhenguan.

Summer is the most difficult for the ancients.

In ancient times, it was no different than it is now. With the existence of such artifacts as electric fans and air conditioners, everyone can only rely on willpower to fight against the scorching heat.

Fortunately, ice-making with saltpeter has become popular because of Qin Mu, and hawkers selling popsicles can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.

A small popsicle, although it cannot solve the hot problem from the root.

But it can also add a little coolness and sentiment in this hot summer.

Qin Mansion.

main hall.

"How come the price of rice in Hedong Road has doubled...?!"

Princess Xiangcheng, who was checking the account books of the Qin Mansion, muttered softly, but was heard by Qin Mu.

The grains of rice in Hedong Road are plump, and the cooked rice is rich in fragrance.

Therefore, the rice in the Qin Mansion has always been rice from Hedong Road.

heard.

Qin Mu stopped in his tracks and asked Princess Xiangcheng, "Nowadays, with the advent of potatoes and innovations in agricultural tools, the price of food should have fallen. How could it have increased instead?"

Princess Xiangcheng replied: "Although that is the case, the price of food has actually risen half a month ago."

"At that time, I thought it was a special situation, but I didn't expect it to become more and more outrageous."

Qin Mu nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of depth.

A gleam flashed in Qin Mu's eyes.

Then he went back to the study and called the bearded man.

"My son-in-law." The bearded guest came to the room and saluted.

Qin Mu nodded, "There must be something wrong with the soaring grain prices on the River East Road."

"Go to Hedong Road to investigate and find out what happened, and then report back."

"It's the son-in-law." The bearded guest saluted and accepted the order.

It disappeared from Qin Mu's sight.

Qin Mu speculated that behind the sharp rise in grain prices in Hedong Road, something big must have happened, and there was a lot of secrets.

4Chapter 17: Something Strange (2/5)

Three days later.

Chang'an City.

Qin Mansion.

The bearded man rushed back from Hedong Road and came to Qin Mu, with an anxious look on his face.

"Master son-in-law, something serious has happened in Hedong Road, you are really insightful and predict things like a god!"

"There was a severe drought in 23 counties of the four prefectures of Hedong Road, and the victims were everywhere. There was no food to eat, and the people were in dire straits."

"Instead of reporting to the imperial court, the officials of the four prefectures used force to suppress the victims, preventing anyone from spreading the news out of the four prefectures."

At this time, the bearded man admired Qin Mu very much.

Just based on the increase in food prices, it can be deduced that something major has happened in Hedong Road.

Such insight, even if it is said to be the best in the world, is not an exaggeration.

However, Qin Mu frowned, not in the mood to listen to the bearded man's praise.

The matter of Hedong Road is no small matter, and it is no longer something that Qin Mu can solve by himself.

"Okay." Qin Mu looked at the bearded man and said, "You continue to lead the Jinyiwei to infiltrate the four states and investigate what happened."

"Yes." The bearded man replied, and then went out.

Followed by.

Qin Mu didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately rushed to the palace.

Royal Palace.

Lizheng Hall.

Li Erzheng and Empress Changsun are supervising the little fat man Li Tai to practice calligraphy.

Changsun Wuji also happened to be at the side, and when he heard Qin Mu's meeting, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Immediately, someone brought Qin Mu in.

"Mu'er looked hurried, did something important happen?"

When the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the happier she becomes.

As soon as she saw Qin Mu, Empress Changsun sensed his eagerness.

Qin Mu nodded and saluted, "Your Majesty, there was a severe drought in Hedong Road. The officials of Jinzhou and other four prefectures not only failed to report the incident, but even used force to suppress the victims in an attempt to deceive the imperial court and cross the sea."

Hearing this, Li Er, Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji all turned pale with shock.

But soon.

Li Er shook his head and said, "Qin Mu, you have evidence. How can such a big event be kept secret?"

"I also have eyeliner in Hedong Road, but I haven't received any news. Have you been deceived by someone? This matter is no joke."

Li Er's words of righteousness and righteousness were resounding.
