Chapter 180 Today's Me You Can't Stand High
After bandaging the wound, Wu Dalang hurried to the front hall and said with a guilty look on his face: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. My little girl is so playful that she actually hid the deed. My wife and I searched for a long time but couldn't find it... …”

Lu Shangshu’s words to him were the real reason. This guy was obviously putting on a show in front of him and didn’t want to hand over the deed!
And you made such a lame excuse.

"Really? Then it seems that my trip was in vain."

Lu Shangshu said these words in a nonchalant manner, got up and left.

Wu Dalang chased after him and said, "Mr. Lu, when I find the deed, I will personally deliver it to your house."

Lu Shangshu didn't look back and only regarded his words as an excuse.

What a great Wu Dalang, hum, I remember you.

Wu Dalang was worried and kept watching Lu Shangshu's carriage leave. When he turned around, he looked in the direction of the inner courtyard with sinister eyes.

This was originally an excellent opportunity to curry favor with Lu Shangshu, but it was ruined by that poisonous woman!

Unable to get the deed, Cui Xiang and others could only inquire about the contents of the deed in order to know what medicine the queen and the emperor behind her were selling.

It's a pity that they will be disappointed eventually.

The contents of the deed were tightly covered by Mrs. Wei and others, and they didn't even find out.

Cui Xiang had no choice but to change his strategy and let his wife enter the palace and express her willingness to open a shop and do business with the queen.

Queen: "Madam, it's a bad time for you to come. Now, including me, the shop already has nine owners, so there is no shortage of people for the time being."

Mrs. Cui looked uncertain.

She was willing to take a stake in the Queen's shop, which was already a condescending move, but the Queen didn't appreciate it and flatly rejected her!

The Queen smiled.

In Xibao’s words, you could ignore me yesterday, but you can’t reach me today.

She previously gave various companies the opportunity to invest in the cement shop, but they turned their backs on it. Now they regret it. It's too late to want to invest in the cement shop again.

Under Lin Wushang's design and guidance (in fact, the real person behind the scenes was Lin Xi), the cement factory and shop opened smoothly.

The site of the cement factory is very secretive, and there are people sent by the emperor to guard it. Not to mention outsiders, not even a dog can enter.

As for the shop, it is located on a busy street. The shop is called "Xiling Architectural Office", which is regarded as the branch of the office in the capital.

On the opening day, the Queen left the palace incognito and came to cut the ribbon in person.

In addition to selling cement, the shop also sells new-style toilet barrels. It also provides services such as house design, on-site fire pit building, and clean room renovation.

Since the production of the cement factory is not yet on track, the cement sold in the shop is shipped from the factory in Qingyuan County.

A ten-pound bag of cement costs as much as five taels of silver.

However, people are flocking to buy it, and the supply of cement in the store exceeds demand.

Who told those high-ranking people to like to compare and enjoy themselves?
They must also have clean rooms that can be flushed as soon as they are used in the palace!
Isn’t it just silver?They don't need that little money!

Seeing that the business in the shop was so booming, making money every day, the shareholders, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Pei and others, were all happy.

At first they just invested some personal money to support the queen, but they didn't expect that the money they invested would be earned back in the blink of an eye!

From now on, the monthly dividends will be pure profits!

You are really collecting money while lying at home!
As a result, they became more determined to follow the queen.

It is no longer because of her husband, but because of the queen herself.

How happy Mrs. Wei and the others are, how regretful Mrs. Cui and others who missed the opportunity were.

The queen once sent a hen that laid golden eggs to them, but they did not cherish it and missed it.But now, it's too late to regret!
What makes them even more uncomfortable is that not only do they miss a great opportunity to make money, but they also have to give money to the queen.

Other people's homes have built new-style bathrooms. As wives from a first-class family, how can they lag behind others?

Not only do they have to cultivate, they also have to cultivate better than others!
As a result, more money is spent.

When they go out to socialize, they have to pretend to be calm and unconcerned, which is frustrating.

But what makes them depressed is far more than that.

After the day's court meeting, the emperor mysteriously said to all the courtiers: "My lords, you will have a rest tomorrow. I plan to take you to see something good. I also ask you to come with me and travel incognito." One view.

"By the way, you can also bring your relatives with you."

After leaving the court, the ministers walked together in twos and threes and started talking.

"I wonder what your Majesty wants to take us to see?"

"Oh, I finally took a rest. I originally planned to take a nap at home, but now it seems that I can't sleep in."

"Speaking of which, the thing His Majesty wants to take us to see must have something to do with that cement, right?"

"It's useless to think too much. We'll find out tomorrow."

After getting off duty, Wu Dalang rode home.

On the way, I passed by the Xiling Architectural Office.

It's already this hour, but the business in the store is still very good, with an endless stream of customers, and people come to buy cement one after another.

He couldn't help but feel extremely lucky. Fortunately, he didn't find the deed that day and gave it to Lu Gong.

Otherwise, this profitable business will be given away!
The owner behind this shop is the Empress, and the other shareholders are also prestigious people such as the wife of the left prime minister and the wife of the Minister of Justice.

Among them, my family holds the fewest shares and has the lowest status.

But who doesn’t envy him now?

They all praised him for raising a good daughter and boarding the Queen's golden ship at a young age. From then on, even if he did nothing, he could still get money continuously from this shop.

Thinking of this, Wu Dalang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He specially bought a lot of snacks and took them back.

When Pan'er saw that he had brought so many delicious foods to her, she would definitely ignore her past grudges and get close to him as her father again.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the house, he found that his daughter and wife were not there.

"Where are the girl and the madam? Didn't I ask you to take a good look at them?"

The maid lowered her head and replied: "Master, the madam and the girl went back to their parents' home. The slaves tried to stop them but couldn't."

The lady threatened them with scissors, stabbing anyone who dared to stop her. Who dared to step forward?

They were all slaves who had signed a contract to sell themselves. If they died, their death would be in vain!

Wu Dalang dropped the oil paper bag in his hand, hurriedly left the house and mounted his horse, and went to Yue's house.

The Yue family's surname was Liu, and they were from a seventh-rank family. His father-in-law also had an official rank of third rank, and was his immediate superior, Weiwei Siqing.

It is precisely because of the support of his father-in-law that he can sit in the position of a fifth-rank official.

Once Siniang went back to complain to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, saying that she had beaten him... Thinking of this, Wu Dalang felt anxious in his heart, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and accelerated his speed.
