Chapter 21: Adults like the new and hate the old
Yan Mu was injured and Liu Yunxiang was pregnant, so he only kissed her for a while. Afraid that he would do anything wrong again, she hid inside and pretended to sleep.
Late at night, Jiang Yuan came to report that he had chased the assassins, but they all committed suicide.
"They used scimitars, the edges of which were quenched with snake venom. Do you suspect that these assassins are Beijin Shosaku?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Yan Mufeng's eyes darkened, "What are they doing in the capital?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head, "It's really confusing."
"You go check it out again. I'll go to Dongchang tomorrow and ask them to keep an eye on it."
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She couldn't say it clearly, but could only use this to remind Yan Mu to beware of Beijin, hoping that he could find out where the deposed prince was as soon as possible.
She had no other reason but to hope that the tragic situation of starving people in her previous life would never happen again.
Of course, the granaries are indeed empty, and there will always be famine, but the difference is whether it is mild or severe.
After Jiang Yuan left, Liu Yunxiang was really sleepy, but now she smelled the fragrance of glutinous rice chicken. She opened her eyes quickly and sat up quickly.
When she first came over, she asked the maid to notify the kitchen to do it.
"What's wrong?" Yan Mu asked.
"Hibiscus has brought food."
Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't I hear anything?"
People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, but he didn't hear a single sound.
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I smell it."
Yan Mu didn't believe it, but after a while, Hibiscus actually came over with a food box.
"Are you a dog?"
"Pregnant people have nose problems, you don't understand."
With that said, she got off the Arhat's bed neatly and asked Mu Jin to quickly separate the bones and flesh of the glutinous rice chicken for her.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Yan Mu followed her over and had a bowl of porridge.
Liu Yunxiang had food in his stomach and said to Yan Mu: "The granary is going to sell grain. I want to buy 10,000 shi."
"Why did you buy so much food?"
"I want to open a grain and rice shop. One stone of rice in the granary costs 400 yuan, and the market price is 600 yuan. I can make 200 yuan by flipping it."
Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang and whispered: "Don't you know that the grain in the granary cannot be sold on the market?"
"Every rice in the world has the same color. Who can tell where it comes from?"
"The grain in the granary has been stored for a long time."
"It's still edible."
"The granary stipulates that one household can buy up to ten shi. How do you buy 10,000 shi?"
Liu Yunxiang smiled and put a chicken leg into Yan Mu's bowl, "So I have to ask Mr. Yan for help."
Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Want to be a profiteer?"
"I only have this little ability, unlike you, sir, who kills people and sets fire... Ahem, you are wise and wise, and you have many ways to make money."
It was just a matter of words. Yan Mu thought that this little woman would be frightened by following him tonight, so he did not refuse.
When Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu agreed, he felt that the glutinous rice chicken was more fragrant, so he drank another bowl of porridge.
When Yan Mu asks for grain from the granary and the granary cannot be brought out, he will know that the granary has been emptied and deal with it promptly.
Liu Yunxiang had eaten and drank enough, and was looking for an excuse to go home, when Mu Jin came in to report.
"Miss Yuan has a nightmare and would like to ask an adult to accompany her."
Liu Yunxiang let out a little sigh. She was of noble character. Miss Yuan, one of the twin concubines in Shengjing, had completely surrendered to Yan Mu, the treacherous minister.
What a nightmare, it’s obviously an invitation to pet.
Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang with deep meaning: "If you keep me..."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "So what?"
Yan Mu felt that he was inexplicably blocked, "Sir, I like the new and dislike the old."
Liu Yunxiang stood up and said, "A good night is too short, so I won't disturb Mr. Yan."
After saying that, she turned around and went out.
Yan Mu was very happy.
He said that, but he never touched that little girl Yuan.
I always feel like I don’t want to do that.
After another sip of wine, Yan Mu turned around and went to the study to sleep.
——
The boss behind Ruichang Bank was Yan Mu. Liu Yunxiang went to withdraw 20,000 taels the next day. For the remaining 10,000, she asked Yan Mu to buy food for her.
As for the 20,000 yuan, she went to the dock specifically to buy a batch of grain and rice to be transported to the grasslands in the west. After the famine, there was no shortage of grain in the west, so it didn't matter whether she had this batch of grain, but Shengjing did not have this batch of grain.
, many people will die.
She had stored all the food in the empty house. Zhang Qi thought carefully and asked two brothers from the same village to guard it before leaving Beijing.
She also brought a cart of food back to the minister's house, but she couldn't even get in.
The old housekeeper Xu said helplessly: "Madam has not been feeling well these past two days. She said it is inconvenient to see... foreign guests."
Jin Yan frowned and said, "Uncle Xu, are you confused? How can our wife be a foreigner?"
Butler Xu sighed, "But that's what Madam said."
Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, signaling Jin Yan not to say anything further, "Uncle Xu, how is my mother's health?"
"Ahem, it's just a little cold."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I won't go in and make her unhappy, but you can have someone carry this vehicle meter in. You don't have to tell my parents."
"Miss, why did you send a cart of rice?"
How can I bring a cart of rice back to my parents' house? It's so new when I say it.
"Well, I plan to open a rice and grain shop. It only has a lot of rice, so I sent a cart to my parents."
"Then I will accept it on behalf of the master and his wife."
After getting into the carriage, Jin Yan stood up for Liu Yunxiang and said, "It's been so long, why are you still angry with me? Besides, I can't blame you for the death of the second young master!"
Liu Yunxiang leaned against the carriage and sighed softly.
Back then, her younger brother wanted to make great achievements and went on the Northern Expedition with the Marquis of Jing'an. Her parents did not agree, but she felt that men should have some experience, so she supported him and secretly asked the Marquis of Jing'an to place him in the Northern Expedition.
As a result, the entire Northern Expeditionary Army was wiped out, and his brother left and never came back.
Her parents felt that she had harmed her younger brother, so they have never forgiven her.
A few days later, the second master of the Xie family was finally released home, and the Xie family's case was settled.
But, it was the second day after Mr. Xie came home.
