Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Xie Zhao took Jiang Yuzhu away, and Lu Yunxi stared at their backs with dark eyes.

The subordinate on the side complained: "Sir, the Jiang family is really ignorant!"

A shop outside the sea cost tens of thousands of taels, but Jiang Yuzhu, who was so greedy for money, refused mercilessly and couldn't live with the money.

Lu Yunxi narrowed her narrow eyes and said playfully: "My cousin didn't want the shop. I expected it, but Xie Zhao couldn't wait to take a detour. Is he jealous?"

The cousins ​​chatted on the street, attracting passers-by to watch, including Xie Zhao's men.

Xie Zhao was already on his way back to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and turned back in a hurry, inviting people to inquire.

Jiang Yuzhu felt extremely uncomfortable with the gaze following her behind her. When the front turned to the road, she turned around and saw that Lu Yunxi was not there, and then she felt more comfortable.

"lady."

Xie Zhao stood behind Jiang Yuzhu and spoke up in time.

Jiang Yuzhu turned sideways and was startled again: "Master, why haven't you returned to the Yamen yet?"

For Xie Zhao, it was normal for his wife to cross the river, demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. He thought for a moment and explained: "My husband promised to give you a boatload of things from the open sea."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu solemnly turned around and faced Xie Zhao: "Master, I understand that men have vanity and comparison, but I just mentioned it casually and didn't take it to heart."

Things are more valuable when they are rare, let alone items shipped from the outer sea.

In the past few years, Daqi has always wanted to start maritime trade and do business with the outside world.

It's a pity that the shipbuilding ability is low, and several ships were sent out one after another, but they never came back.

Seeing the huge profits, private businessmen built workshops and ships on the seaside one after another, investing all their wealth in making a future, but ultimately lost everything.

"Qiao Ying gave me a music box as a gift. It is said that it cost 200 taels of silver."

How much is a boat worth?

Jiang Yuzhu did the math and found that it was immeasurable.

The two were husband and wife, and Jiang Yuzhu knew exactly how much money Xie Zhao had. He was not the God of Wealth and could not turn stones into gold.

Is it...

Jiang Yuzhu pulled Xie Zhao to the corner, lowered her voice and asked, "Master, to be honest, did you accept the gift?"

Xie Zhao's eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn't help pinching Jiang Yuzhu's face: "Madam, is this how you want to be your husband?"

He is in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and he is supposed to make decisions for the people, so he will not ask the people to do anything.

If Xie Zhao sets a precedent, his subordinates will only imitate him.

When officials go to collect taxes and take things from the people, doesn’t that mean they are robbing the people?

This is Xie Zhao's bottom line and must never be broken.

Jiang Yuzhu nodded suspiciously. Whether it was the original book or the Xie Zhao she came into contact with, he was a good official who was devoted to the people, and his personality had not collapsed.

"Master, you are a bad student!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhu's tone was very sad.

Xie Zhao shook his sleeves, and a smile appeared in his cold eyes: "What's your explanation, madam?"

Jiang Yuzhu hesitated to speak, and murmured for a long time: "When did you get the habit of bragging?"

I'm afraid only the emperor can take out a ship's treasure from the open sea.

Xie Zhao curled his lips and gave an unknown smile, which made Jiang Yuzhu's heart tremble. Could it be that Xie Zhao really had it?

Thinking about it, this possibility is unlikely.

But looking at Xie Zhao's face, he didn't look guilty at all.

Next to the two of them, there is a time-honored restaurant.

Xie Zhao made an invitation gesture, and the couple entered the private room one after another.

About a quarter of an hour later, Liang'an and two boys brought in a huge box.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids twitched, and she put down the tea cup and asked, "What is this?"

Xie Zhao raised his hand, and the boy immediately opened the huge box.

A large box was empty, and inside there was an extremely small box, only the size of a palm.

Jiang Yuzhu's face was full of questions, and she thought that this excessive packaging was too obvious.

I took out the small box inside, which was quite heavy.

After Jiang Yuzhu unlocked the door, what came into view was a boat as big as a palm.

The hull of the ship is made of pure gold and is exquisitely carved. It is quite similar to the model. There are not only passengers but also cargo on it.

These objects can all be taken down and enjoyed.

Xie Zhao closed his eyes slightly and sipped the tea calmly: "My husband never said anything false. Madam, are you satisfied?"

A ship's outer sea thing, there is no flaw in the language.

Jiang Yuzhu stared at the boat in her hand, stunned.

Lose, lose, Xie Zhao can't play the word game.

However, she liked the ship's gift very much: "Hongjin, take it back and put it on the Duobao Pavilion in the room."

The couple sat together and drank a cup of tea in silence.

Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu stood up almost at the same time and walked out in tacit agreement.

When the shopkeeper saw the two people coming out, he hesitated for a moment and then took the account book and said to Xie Zhao: "Master Xie, the total is five taels of silver."

Xie Zhao paused and touched his shriveled purse.

The shopkeeper twitched his lips and was about to say he didn't want the money, but Xie Zhao spoke first: "Shopkeeper Liu, my wife is in charge of the money, and it will be recorded in my account."

The shopkeeper thought he had heard wrongly and asked more eloquently: "Isn't it the Xie Mansion's account?"

Some officials do not carry their wallets with them when they go out, and often pay on credit, waiting a few days for the government officials to settle the bill. This has become a secret rule.

Xie Zhao said firmly: "No."

The money on the books of the Xie Mansion is only enough to support the expenses of the family members, and all economic power is in Jiang Yuzhu's hands.

Xie Zhao was not embarrassed at all, as if it was reasonable to hand over all the money.

Jiang Yuzhu arranged for the maid to settle the bill very naturally, without a word of nonsense throughout the process.

The shopkeeper was secretly shocked. After the couple left, he immediately ran into the wine shop next door to gossip. In less than an hour, the whole street knew about it.

It turns out that Mr. Xie has no status in the family!

Separating from Xie Zhao, Jiang Yuzhu was about to go back home to take a rest. The waiter from the first floor came in a hurry: "Madam, the stage of our teahouse has been smashed!"

The play is going to start in the evening, but the stage hasn't been set up yet.

If the theater cannot start on time, a large number of theatergoers will demand refunds.

At that time, the first floor promised to refund twice the price difference if the show did not start, which would cost ten thousand taels of silver.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu said coldly: "So, who made the promise?"

Although she is sure that the show will start on time, there are always some special circumstances.

It must have been a trap set by the Wei family, and the shopkeeper fell into the trap in a hurry.

The Jiang family has many pig teammates.

"That's all, let's learn a lesson and be smarter next time."

Jiang Yuzhu weighed the situation and did not criticize the man too harshly.

It's a fault if your subordinates don't do their best, so what?Brains and loyalty are all that matters.

Wrong, of course it is the fault of the villain who is behind the scenes.

The man lowered his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

If this were the case in the Wei family, the shopkeeper and the waiter would be beaten half to death with a wooden board.

In fact, he used to be a spy for the Wei family, but now he has betrayed him. The master only recognizes the Jiang family and has no second thoughts.

Madam is very talkative, treats them as human beings, and treats them extremely well!

The waiter sniffed, holding back the sourness in his nose and said, "Madam, let's catch a few people who rushed in to cause trouble and send them to Jingzhao Yin Yamen?"
