Princess Fuyao

Chapter 137

Chapter 137
Movies and TVs of later generations have long instilled in her the idea that the subordinates in the warehouse have no good things, and also the experience of Jia Zheng in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", "Let your officials be as clean as water, but the officials are as slippery as oil". Xiao Ming went to inquire about it, and then took people to the Jingxi Grain Depot to collect grain.

Sure enough, although the receptionist was smiling all over his face, the food he gave was stale, and it was mixed with soil and rat dung.

Xiaoming was very annoyed when he saw it, and ordered his servants to quickly load up the grain, and comforted Fuyao in a whisper: "Tomorrow, I will ask my godfather to show this grain to the emperor. The Beijing West Grain Depot is renovated every year. Where did these things come from that have been stored for more than five or six years? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you actually play this dirty trick, let's see how I deal with them."

"Xiao Ming, I think it's better to forget it. As your godfather, suing the imperial court is not good for his old man. I want to sue the imperial court. Whether it is Marshal He or my brother-in-law, it is not a one-sentence matter? They I meet the emperor every day."

"It's my godfather who wants to get close to the emperor. The palace will release a group of old men this year. If godfather can help you, he will come to my place to take care of him in the future, so he will be more confident."

Xiao Ming is still a child, the subordinate staff in the warehouse did not expect him to be a eunuch, and the people who work in the grain depot are all helpers. This group of people is the eyes of the subordinate staff. Someone who heard this conversation can understand Xiao Ming's meaning after thinking about it. At that time, he was so frightened and frightened that he sneaked out and reported it to the small official in charge when he was not prepared.

Just as Fuyao filled most of the [-] catties of grain, an eighth-rank official wearing a green satin official uniform pretended to turn around, saw Fuyao, and hurriedly saluted: "Yao Qi, the steward of the Jingdong warehouse, has seen the lady of Fu County. !"

"Excuse me!" Fuyao sat on the bamboo chair brought to her by the helper, with a cold expression.

Yao Qi had nothing to say: "Why does the county mistress come in person? Just say hello, and the humble post will be delivered to the door."

Fuyao snorted.

Then Yao Qi pretended to go to see the grain, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, wait a minute! This is the foundation of the warehouse this year, and it is going to report the loss. How did you give it to the county owner? Wrong, wrong."

The little official who brought Fuyao over just now was sweating profusely with the booklet, and walked towards the warehouse for a long time, and slapped himself hard on the face: "The majesty of the county looks at me, your grain is collected at the third warehouse, why not?" It's considered to be in the second warehouse, it's time to fight, it's time to fight!"

"Hehe, fortunately I found it in time, otherwise I would have given it to the emperor, and I would have treated you as ineffective in protecting me!"

The small officials in the treasury actually have great power, and their corrupt money is no less than that of the powerful court officials. The emperor has always shown no mercy to this side.

Hearing what Fuyao said, the people in the grain depot standing on the side wiped off their cold sweat quietly. Fortunately, there was still time, otherwise they would have lost their heads somehow.

The small official of the granary had already inquired clearly that the county lord Fuyao had no real power and no background, so he was the best to be deceived, but what he saw now, who could easily see the emperor, how could he have no real power?

It's not that he has never seen someone who threatened him with a big banner as a tiger's skin, but Xiao Ming was a eunuch, which made him feel a little bit worried, thinking that he was sent by the emperor to help Fuyao settle down, and he heard Fuyao say that the Li brothers, they knew, The emperor had two new young guards in front of him, they were very popular, and he thought: "It's broken, I forgot that she still has this." How dare he take advantage of those benefits?

If Fuyao received the rotten grain just now and sold the 1000 catties, he would not be able to get back 2000 taels of silver. With this exchange, he finally received [-] taels.

Thinking of today's big piece of fat disappearing like this, no one in the warehouse at the scene would grit their teeth and feel pain.He watched helplessly as the Lord Fu swaggered away in a sedan chair, but there was nothing he could do: "The Lord Fu is Fuda, and the emperor even sent her a servant." The person in the grain depot sighed helplessly.

Liang Mingrui was very careful, and sent someone to report Fuyao's safety every day, and he laughed amusedly when he heard his servant tell him about the person who secretly plotted against the grain depot in Fuyao: "This ghost has a lot of eyes, but he even knows that all the old officials who have been there for many years are not Things, hehe, next time, if the grain depot dares not give you good food, she will probably perform a full martial arts."

With money in hand, Fuyao first bought a small two-room shop on Qianmen Street, and spent 800 taels of silver all at once, which made Xiaoming feel distressed.

Fuyao felt that the money was well spent.Although the store has a small appearance, the entire street sells luxury goods. There is a backgammon boots shop, where almost all the ministers of the court wear are from here. There is also Junziwang, which is a must-have for officials, which has jewelry for men, such as finger pullers, small hair crowns, hooks, and accessories. Other stores also sell clothing, silk cloth, and snacks. They all pass by here, although they often come and go in a hurry, but occasionally patronize, so that the shops here make a lot of money.

The store that Fuyao bought was the smallest and most eccentric on the street, but what she sold was wine, as long as people walked over, no one would not be able to smell the strong smell, what she wanted was the popularity of this street.

Fuyao drew a blueprint of the store layout, and Xiao Ming led people to run around to tidy up. Food sellers naturally demand cleanliness and freshness, so that people can feel happy when they come in.

After being in a hurry for a few days, Ji Zhenggang came back with Yaoming. Fuyao heard the news and hurried to pick up her at the elder sister's house. When he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Lu talking about her.It's not that this cheap mother has a conscience that she misses her daughter, but that she can't wait to move into the big house: "Qianqian, you have no conscience, you moved into the big house by yourself, and you didn't say you would come back to pick us up. "

"That's my sister's mansion, there are nobles coming and going, what are you going to do? The emperor pardoned father, and they will come back in a few days. Let's live our own lives as a family. Don't make it difficult for my sister."

"Hey, this girl who has just become an official despises me. Your father and I are ordinary people, and we are not worthy of her great meritorious service."

"Mother, how can you say that!" Yaoqian was annoyed.

Yaolan also came to her mother's house today, and her words are more than her sister's: "You have a man and a son, so what's the matter with running away from your daughter's house? Even if your sister doesn't dislike it, don't you feel awkward?"

"But it's good to shake home..." Mrs. Lu stomped her feet.

"It's too late for you to say anything. If you let Yaoming go with daddy, now the younger brother will be the one who made meritorious deeds. If the emperor rewards you, it will be yours. Maybe you will be granted a patent."

Lu Shi regretted it so much that she almost vomited blood these days, she said forcefully: "Yao Yao is not married, that is mine too."
