Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy
Chapter 389 Profiteers
Did it happen on purpose?
Zhao Qizhen thought of Mo Chengying. Although he was cunning and changeable, he was very straightforward in his feelings.
When they were in love, the whole country gave them gifts, and despite the objections of court officials, allowed Shen Yangui, a woman, to attend court to discuss state affairs.
Do you need to resort to tricks just to attend a palace banquet?
No need.
What's more, King Udamahei did plead for his sister Danzhu in public.
Although Shatulu is a small place, all its people are soldiers, all of them are very skilled, and they are also good at training death squads.
The Regent is not a fool, how could he let such a talent go?
The princess must be brought to the Banquet of All Nations, and it is impossible to change the person for the New Year's Eve family banquet and the banquet for ministers.
Zhao Qizhen didn't need to say more than these words to a chess piece.
"It's okay. It won't matter for a day or two."
It would be safer to observe further during the holiday banquet.
Zhao Qizhen took out a letter from her bosom and put it on the table. "It's the New Year's Day now, and I guess your family is busy. I wonder if Mr. An can leave the house?"
Lu Anyong replied: "The mansion is now run by Second Miss Shen, so I can go anywhere without any hindrance."
"Mr. An often walks around the market, so he must have a wide network of contacts. Thank you for your help, sir."
Zhao Qizhen put two fingers together, pushed the letter in front of him, and asked the servant to give him a stack of silver bills.
"Sir, just go for it. Money is not a problem."
When Lu Anyong saw the stack of banknotes, his eyes lit up:
These bandits work hard to earn those few hard-earned quids, and after robbing this batch, they don’t know when the next batch will come.
It’s better to be an official, where it’s effortless to rob openly.
Zhao Qizhen went ahead and left quietly from the southeast gate with his servant.
Lu Anyong stayed for a while, opened the letter, and after reading it, he tapped the table with his fingers, looking worried.
What is stated in the letter is simple and not difficult to accomplish.
If it were in Lingzhou, Lu An would make the whole city know about it overnight, but this is the capital and he has limited manpower.
He had to find a way to find someone to help him spread these rumors.
Lu Anyong decided to take a walk on the street.
Not long after he left "Deep in the Hundred Flowers" through the northwest gate, someone came out of the south gate on a donkey cart delivering wine.
……
The carriage slowly arrived at the side door of the Regent's Palace.
"Who is coming?"
"Shopkeeper Jinxiufang, half a month ago, the prince and princess ordered two sets of clothes at Jinxiufang. I specially sent them to the prince and princess."
Du Qingxu handed over the visiting card, the side door opened, and the carriage entered.
Because of her humble status, she could only park her carriage at the unified place in the backyard, and then walk to King's Landing.
Across the drizzling lake, Shen Qingyue looked at Du Qingxu, "Who is that?"
"Miss Shen, that is Shopkeeper Du from Jinxiufang."
"It's rare to even see Shopkeeper Du when I go to Jinxiufang. I didn't expect that she would come here in person to make clothes for my sister."
The maid could hear the jealousy in Shen Qingyue's words.
After Feng Yuqing got into trouble, all the spies in the Regent's Palace were eliminated, and the remaining ones were carefully selected.
Who would be a fool?
Even though the prince and the princess do have a conflict now, the princess is still the princess. As long as she is in that position, she is not someone that servants like them can discuss.
The maid did not follow Shen Qingyue's sour words, but said:
"When the Prince Regent's Palace asks for something, which shopkeeper dares not come to the door in person?"
"That's true."
Shen Qingyue closed the thin account book in her hand and asked, "Can I ask her to make me some clothes later?"
She already has the demeanor of a hostess.
The maidservant was a little afraid to respond, "The prince is now very kind to Miss Shen Er. If Miss Shen Er wants anything, just tell the prince. I think the prince will agree to it."
If I push it to the prince, I will no longer have any responsibility.
Fang Yin agreed, "Yes, the young lady is very much loved by the prince now. Even if she wants the stars in the sky, the prince will order people to pick them for her."
Her words reminded the maid in the mansion.
The prince treats his princess like he wants the stars but not the moon, and he insists on picking them himself.
After picking them, I have to hold them against my chest, for fear that the stars are not warm or shining.
How could I let others do it for me?
The maid glanced at the account book in Shen Qingyue's hand, thinking that the account office must have had a headache recently. It was already busy at the end of the year, and they had to make several fake accounts just for her.
And this Second Miss Shen, the legitimate daughter of a general's mansion, was brought up in a marquis's mansion, yet she was easily blinded by gold and silver. She didn't even have the caution that a princess would have when she first entered the mansion, and she had no self-awareness at all.
You still want to be a princess?
hanging.
?Junlinyuan.
Mo Chengying did not intend to imprison Shen Yangui. It was only because of his insecurity that he was afraid that she would run away or that he would lose her that he ordered a large number of troops to surround Junlin Garden.
It is ridiculous to return all the things that have been sent out unopened. Mo Chengying wishes he could put all the things that his dearest daughter has sent him up as a gift.
Therefore, in Junlin Garden, apart from restricting the princess from leaving the house, other regulations are not very strict.
The reason why there is an illusion that entry and exit of Junlin Garden is prohibited is simply because Junlin Garden itself is large enough, and Shen Yangui has endless things to do and is too lazy to go out.
Du Qingxu left the maid in the courtyard and went into the hall himself, carrying the clothes.
As early as the winter month, Du Qingxu had already reviewed the accounts with Lu'e. At the beginning of this month, she gave Shen Yangui a complete future plan, so there is no need to mention it at this time.
While Shen Yangui was trying on clothes, she was reporting on the happenings at Lanhuiju in the Depths of Flowers.
The location of "Deep in the Hundred Flowers" is cleverly chosen, and every detail caters to the preferences of officials. It seems that it was built specifically for these officials. How could it be an ordinary restaurant?
The boss behind this is Shen Yangui.
In order to collect information, Shen Yangui specially selected this place for the officials, but she never showed up.
The "boss" and actual manager of "Deep in the Hundred Flowers" was indeed a widowed woman who was recommended by Du Qingxu and her name was Yu Wanwan.
He is a reliable person and not from Beijing.
No matter how these officials investigate, Yu Wanwan will just be a widow, and they won't find any other problems.
"Although he burned the letter, the ashes were intact and the handwriting on it could be vaguely discerned."
Du Qingxu handed a folded piece of letter paper to Shen Yangui, "This is what I copied down facing the light."
Shen Yangui took a look and said: "Whoever gets the imperial seal will get the world?"
"Yes." Du Qingxu said honestly, "It's just this one sentence, but it's so mysterious that neither Wanwan nor I can understand the deep meaning behind it."
The words are just literal, what deeper meaning can there be?
They spread this sentence for probably only one reason——
The Mohists came to power illegitimately; they were just traitors plotting to usurp the throne, and everyone has the right to kill them.
When a dynasty is founded, it doesn't matter whether the throne is established legitimately or not. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. People like Zhao Qizhen should be laying the groundwork for their own rebellion.
Shen Yangui laughed and said, "This dress is very well made, like a wedding dress, I like it very much."
She raised her hand and turned it around, "Every time I wear wedding clothes and court clothes with the prince, I always have the illusion of a newlywed."
Du Qingxu knew not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, nor did he dwell on the meaning of that sentence.
"The prince and princess are so affectionate and loving, aren't they just a newlywed couple?"
She clasped her hands together and said, "I have heard that in many places, people no longer worship the two gods of harmony and unity, but worship the prince and princess instead."
This matter needs to be verified, but Kishu did build a Tianfei Temple, and the people offered incense and offerings.
The prince, thanks to his wife's help, is also in the temple.
Shen Yangui smiled and said, "I will take the prince's set to the palace tomorrow to try it out. If there is any problem, I will send someone to find you."
This means: if there is anything they need to do, someone will be sent to tell her.
Du Qingxu: "Yes."
A battle with Nan Chu is inevitable, and Shen Yangui wants to make a lot of money from them before the war.
Before the armies move, food and fodder must go first. In order to prepare for the war, Helian Jue must have stockpiled a large amount of food in the past two years.
Which court doesn’t have a few parasites?
There is profit in grain.
In addition, ordinary soldiers of Nanchu need to purchase armor, weapons, horses, etc. and other equipment by themselves. If the horses are tampered with, it is easy to be discovered, but other things may not be discovered.
Daxia has the ability to help others, so Shen Yangui "gave" these things.
The two of them made a great plan to become an outstanding profiteer and conceal their true identity in Nanchu.
