Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

This time, the sisters came with Cheng Erniang, so everyone naturally focused on her. Cheng Erniang was a gentle and quiet person. In fact, she had always wanted to say that there was no need to accompany her. After she returned home from Heli, She has always been carefully cared for by her family, and she has never suffered any grievances.

But when the sisters had this idea, she smiled and agreed, but it was still a bit difficult for her to ask her to eat large pieces of meat and laugh loudly.

"Let's go, let's go, the air outside is so fresh."

Cheng Xiaosi took the man out of the door. It was already dark when he came yesterday and he couldn't see clearly. It was morning now, and there was still mist halfway up the mountain in the distance. Maybe it was because of the hot springs. The trees are still dark green, which is much more vibrant than the scenery seen in the capital.

The crisp chirping of birds can be heard in the ears, unknown flowers and plants are planted in the yard, and the fresh air makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Niu Wanqing took a deep breath, "I've heard of Zhuangzi before, but I've never been here. This time, I feel like I've benefited from Yuan Wu."

Cheng Xiaosi was curious, "It's not too far away."

"It's not far."

Niu Wanqing said seriously, "But it's expensive."

"We have been eating and drinking here for three days. We have spent a lot of money. Even those who are not very rich can't afford it."

"As you know, our family is not that wealthy."

Cheng Xiaosi suggested, "This soup pool is very good for the old general."

Niu Wanqing sighed, "My grandfather said that living here would cost hundreds of taels a day. Why would he come to live here?"

This is the Emperor's Zhuangzi, and all the money earned belongs to the Emperor. Therefore, the Emperor never rewards courtiers for coming here, and keeps the money earned.

As a minister who reassures the emperor, he should not embarrass the emperor.

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I'll ask my sister to invite the old general to stay for a while next winter. Then she will say that if you pay the money, you can't get it back. If you don't come, you will lose money. The old general will come."

It’s understandable that the emperor doesn’t entertain old generals. If he entertains one, does he have to entertain others?

There are so many veterans in the court, if they all come to the emperor, where will they make money?

After all, he is also poor.

Cheng Erniang nodded and said, "It's okay to stay here for a month or two in winter. It won't cost much."

It's not that she is loud, but a few thousand taels is not a lot of money for the sisters.

Cheng Sanniang sighed, "If I had known there was such a good place, I would have come here years ago."

Niu Wanqing chuckled, "I know, I am the poorest here."

Cheng Xiaosi held her arm and said, "But your family is the most powerful. Our family's wealth depends entirely on your family's protection."

"I like to hear that."

Niu Wanqing was happy, "The more you make, the more you earn. We can't fall behind. I'll tell my brother to practice hard later."

"Don't tire out my brother-in-law."

When Cheng Xiaosi said this, Niu Wanqing immediately laughed, Cheng Erniang blushed, and Cheng Sanniang also laughed lively.

After laughing for a while, several people went out to have dinner. Cheng Xiaosi met the third prince again today. He didn't know how Yuan Su drank with the third prince last night. His mental state was much better today. There is also a circle of white cloth wrapped around it. “Good morning, Third Prince.”

Cheng Xiaosi also said hello to him, and the third prince, who was afraid that she would get involved, said awkwardly, "Hmm", and then led the people elsewhere. Yuan Su approached with a smile, "Okay, don't be irritating in the future. he."

Cheng Xiaosi was helpless, "You are saying this as if I am a bad person. I am very innocent, okay?"

Although Cheng Yousan didn't know what happened between Cheng Xiaosi and the third prince, his instinctive guess was that Cheng Xiaosi had done something to the third prince behind his back. Otherwise, why would such a good prince look like he was an enemy when he saw her? What does it look like?

This is not the first time she has done this.

I'm so angry that I didn't take him with me.

After breakfast, everyone went out for an outing together. Before that, they told the steward that they wanted to barbecue and asked them to prepare all the ingredients and charcoal fire.

"It's a pity that cousin Xiao didn't come. Cousin Honghong said she is the best at barbecue."

The work that the Escort Bureau had detained a year ago has not been finished yet. Seeing new business coming in one after another, everyone from the Xiao family has mobilized. Even the Xiao family sisters have come to the Escort Bureau to help, and they are not busy at all.

"Sister Wan Qing, are there any people in the army who are still very capable after retirement and still want to be bodyguards? My bodyguard agency is looking for bodyguards. The pay is very good."

Niu Wanqing agreed to ask. Most of the people who retired from the army were not short of a way out, especially those who were good at martial arts. Some people invited them.

Of course those who have no way out are not good at it.

Sha Gen'er and Hua Bao also came. They were having fun on the grass. Hua Bao wanted to get into the woods when he saw it. Cheng Xiaosi didn't stop him. Both of them were somewhat spiritual. I'll go back by myself later.

At the same time, the emperor once again summoned Cheng Daqi. Spring had begun, and he was once again tight-lipped.

"Ah, you have a lot of money to spend in spring. Please think of a way."

Cheng Daqi rolled his eyes in his heart, the emperor was becoming more and more direct in his speech now.

"Your Majesty, the major merchants just released a batch of goods a year ago. The things that the people bought years ago have not been used up yet. If you want to find something from the merchants, you have to wait until the middle of the year."

You can’t always catch merchants masturbating, right?

"The jade mine on the outskirts of the city has produced a batch of smoked jade, and the first batch will be available in two months."

The emperor sighed, "I know what you said. I heard something today. The Dongshu court opened a bank account. Many dignitaries and merchants deposited large sums of money into it. Emperor Dongshu didn't I’m worried that I don’t have enough money to use it.”

Cheng Daqi lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew that bank, but Xijin was not suitable. He handed over his hands and said: "If the court wants to open one, now is not the time."

"The bank account in Dongshu is different from other bank accounts. When people put money in, it will earn interest. Ten taels of silver will be paid into it after three years. After three years, it will be eleven taels. The more you save, the more you will get. This requires this bank The account has great earning power and can be easily redeemed if there is a run on it. If a mistake is made, the trust of the people in the court will be damaged."

"I heard that the prince of Dongshu merged his business into the bank account to support the operation of the ticket bank."

You have nothing but want to imitate others, what do you think?

Being kind to the people is better than anything else. The emperor is crazy about money.

The emperor felt that he was being squeezed by Cheng Daqi. He always felt that he was saying that he was whimsical, huh.

Cheng Daqi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't make sense for us to make money from our own people all the time. It would be very interesting if we could make money from surrounding countries."
