Conspiracy

Chapter 213

"Xiaosheng remembers that Miss Xiyan lived in our village for a while before she came to Beijing. At that time, she was penniless and very destitute. But it seemed that a woman in white would come to her from time to time. They had a good chat. He often plays the piano and paints by the river."

Fuqin?painting?Could it be that Li Jieyu and Xiyan met at that time?
"What then?"

"Later Miss Xiyan entered Jiyuefang. She was kind-hearted and had a good life. She did not forget to send people to help the folks and elders. Our life gradually improved."

Su Zhen frowned more and more, is it really that simple?
One person saves a village, Xiyan really thinks that her money is blown by a strong wind?It's not about questioning Xiyan's kindness and character.It's just that Xiyan and Li Yu's characters are too perfect, and there is no fault at all. It's like someone tailor-made their lives specially for them?

Too fake!
While they were talking, the cookies in the oven had been baked, and the tangy aroma made people salivate.

He Lan quickly brought a stack of cookies to the table. The cookies were palm-sized, tea-yellow in color, and with the aroma of sesame seeds, even Su Zhen's stomach was sour, and she felt hungry.

After Jing Yao thanked her, she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and delicious but not greasy.

"It's delicious! It's even better than the cakes made by Yuchu!"

He Lan originally had the image of a thin and weak scholar. Hearing Jing Yao's compliment, her fair side face was blushed, and she smiled awkwardly and politely, "Miss Jing'er joked, this is just a joke. Just the simplest cookie."

Jing Yao took out a cloth bag from her waist, and when she put it on the table, it made a crisp sound of 'drip bang'. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at He Lan, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

"Mr. He, can I bother you to make some more? I want to take it back and give it to my sister to taste. The money should be considered as a reward for you."

He Lan shook her head, "You two are our benefactors, but Xiaosheng's house is too poor, so I can only make sweet cakes to entertain you two, but a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way, so I'm sorry Xiaosheng can't accept this money."

"Young Master He, who said that this money was for you alone? There are still people living in earthen kilns in your village. It is summer now, and it is still cool, but when it is cold winter, the wind must be biting. Cotton clothes and quilts are still cheap now. , you use this money to buy more, and when it’s cold, take it out to dry, and then tidy up and renovate the house, so that you can survive the winter well.”

On the way, Su Zhen noticed that Jingyao's purse was heavy, so she scanned through it with perspective method, and it was not silver, but jewelry and gold.
Just talking about the reward from the royal princess and the monthly silver, Su Zhen had to suspect that it was all her money.

She put down her chopsticks and said, "I left in a hurry today, and I didn't bring much silver with me. When I go back, I will ask my father to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and apply to the court to help build mountain roads in poor villages, so that you don't have to worry about entering the city when it rains heavily." Buying and selling. In addition, the son of the Marquis of Lin'an and I bought a few lands on Mulin Street for building buildings, not for merchants and nobles, but just to give common people a protective umbrella."

"Building?" Jing Yao and He Lan asked in unison.

"Yes, the name has not been decided yet, and it will be completed in about three months. After the building is completed, traffickers and pawns can trade in it, and they only need to pay a monthly rent for long-term use. So you don’t have to endure the sun and rain.”

He Lan thought for a while, and roughly understood what Su Zhen meant, "But the common people should not be able to afford the rent."

"Don't worry, it's not expensive. Take your time, this is a step-by-step process, don't rush. Most of the rich people in the capital are mean, and there are not many ways to survive for the people at the bottom. They even try to squeeze them out. I just want to help as much as possible." Some people."

"Xiaosheng has always thought that businessmen can't get up early without profit, but I didn't expect Su Shaoqing to be so righteous."

Su Zhen shook her head and smiled lightly, she is not a very kind person, in this era where wars may break out at any time, even if wealth and power can only be one, it will surely ensure safety.

But the hearts of the people are different. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

world?She doesn't want it!But if you don't have the strength to compete with the enemy, it's nonsense to say more!
It is not that the Hexuan Continent does not have the concept of renting, but under the monopoly of financial power by various forces, the gaps in the survival of the people at the bottom have become so narrow that they cannot be seen.

And He Lan was obviously moved by what Su Zhen said, she stood up and bowed to Su Zhen, "Su Shaoqing, I wonder if Xiaosheng can join? Although Xiaosheng has no money, he thinks he is knowledgeable!"

"Brother He, do you want to think about it? If I fail, it will be a loss-making business, and it is very likely that I will go bankrupt."

"Su Shaoqing saved Xiaosheng's life today, Xiaosheng naturally trusts Shaoqing's character!"

Su Zhen has always had a vicious eye on people, but she deliberately revealed the news to He Lan, not only valued his personality, but also valued his undisguised ambition.

That is not a desire for power and wealth, but a kind of uprightness emanating from the bones.He Lanmang's expression was cold and upright, seemingly pedantic and ignorant, but he was unwilling to back down and violate his bottom line for the sake of the common people.It was this tenacity that moved Su Zhen.

money?With a gold-selling cave as big as Jiyuefang in her hand, she certainly doesn't lack it!

name?If she really cared about her reputation, wouldn't the rumors unfavorable to her spread everywhere?

color?Hehe, according to the rumors, she is a slut who is greedy for beauty and likes to hang out in the Red Chamber and Chu Pavilion.

As for rights?She is the eldest son of Taifu's mansion, the life-and-death acquaintance of the son of Lin'an Hou's mansion, and the celebrity in front of the emperor.Even the current crown prince and General Jinghong, who has a mixed reputation, are her backing.

To put it more broadly, there are spies she has planted in the palaces of all the ministers in the court. As for whether those undercover agents are human or demons, it depends on whether those ministers can sharpen their eyes and successfully identify them.

To put it mildly, let alone those beggars have been twisted into a rope under the efforts of the old Zhutou.Even the plants and trees in the capital city, all living things, if Su Zhen wants, they can be her eyes and ears.

Since there is nothing lacking, what's the matter with being self-willed?
Jing Yao watched the corners of Su Zhen's lips rise uncontrollably, although she didn't know what Su Zhen was thinking, but with the look that she didn't want to be beaten, she really wanted to beat this person up!
Su Zhen put down her chopsticks and helped He Lan up, "Brother He, you don't need to be polite. If you want to, you can help me as a consultant. Now the son has disappeared without a trace, and almost left this stall to me alone." .”

He Lan didn't expect Su Zhen to appreciate him so much, and immediately leaned over and cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Su Shaoqing, Xiaosheng will definitely work with Shaoqing to seek the well-being of the common people!
