More than thirty miles to the west outside the city, a large amount of black oil was dug out of a mountain called Wuya.
You must know that the world is now divided into three parts, and the war has been going on for more than a hundred years. This black oil can ignite a fire, which cannot be extinguished by water.
In addition to military use, it is also widely used for civilian use. Now that such a large amount of black oil was suddenly discovered, even the government was dispatched.
After contacting everyone, I discovered that Wuya Mountain does not belong to any wealthy businessman or any aristocratic family. It is actually a completely private property.
A young man named Lu Li, a name I had never heard of before.
Lu Li was unwilling to sell the mountain, so he only agreed to the government's exploration and purchase of black oil at market prices.
This incident caused quite a stir in the city of Jinling. The streets and alleys were abuzz and sparked a lot of discussion.
Some people say that it is fitting that Mr. Lu should become rich.
In the past, Wuya Mountain was the property of Jiangbeihou. The road was remote, the scenery was not beautiful, and the land was not fertile enough, so it had been abandoned for a long time.
Not long ago, Lu Li suddenly came to Jiangbei Hou and said that he wanted to buy this mountain.
Jiangbei Hou thought it was useless to keep it, so he sold it for a few thousand taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, only a few days after the sale, black oil was dug out. Now, for the rest of my life, I will guard this mountain, and I will not have to worry about food and drink.
I'm afraid that Jiangbei Hou's intestines should be broken by vomiting.
There are even girls asking who Mr. Lu Li is and whether he is married. They just think that if he gets married, he will have more money than he can use up.
At this time, Mr. Ma was nestling in his room, not caring at all about what was going on outside.
Her Chu Chu is dead...
When I think of Chu Chu’s eyes that were red from crying that day, and those words.
"I hate you, I hate you..." Her heart felt like a knife.
Her Chu Chu obviously didn't know anything. She stepped out of Yuxia Palace that day just because she missed her parents.
But just like that, we encountered a catastrophe for no reason.
"neat……"
As soon as Ma closed her eyes, she could see her daughter's voice and appearance. She couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and seemed to have lost interest in everything.
The nanny next to her advised her to cheer up and said that the master had gone to the little goblin's room again.
But how can she cheer up?
The plan was designed by Zhong Ming, Meng Xiuli was found by Zhong Ming, and it was Zhong Ming who drove her daughter to a dead end step by step.
How could she greet the murderer of her daughter with a smile and pretend to flatter him?
She can't do it!
She hated Zhong Ming and hated herself. Of course, she hated Mu Qingchao the most.
She was the one who should bear all this, she was the one who deserved to be abused by Meng Xiuli, and she was the one who deserved to die.
Obviously everything was planned for her, but it was her daughter who died and bore the bitter consequences of it all.
When she thought of this, Ma couldn't help but lay on the bed and cried.
Grandma brought a bowl of medicine and walked to her side.
"Madam, please stop crying. You have been crying day and night these days, or you may damage your eyes by crying." Grandma carefully comforted her.
But Ma knocked over the medicine.
"How can I not cry?"
"I have worked hard with the master all my life and worked hard to achieve the powerful position he has today, but...but I can't even protect my own daughter.
Not only that, I can't even avenge her. When I think that the enemy is in the palace, but I can't kill her, I can't sleep peacefully every night."
As soon as Ma finished speaking, he simply lay down on the bed and started crying.
"neat……"
"Mother, Chuchu..."
**
Even if Ma was heartbroken in the Zhong family, Mu Qingchao would not be able to feel it in the palace.
Now, with Shen Muchi's reward and the black oil from Wuya Mountain, she suddenly had a lot of money in her hands.
When you have money, you naturally have to enjoy it.
In her previous life, when her father was still alive, she was also a treasure held in the palm of his hand. She never lacked fine clothes, fine food, silks and satins, and she lived a comfortable life for several years.
But later, my father died, and the family's situation became worse year by year.
My mother often works in pawn shops, but her money is getting tighter every year.
It’s been many years since I’ve felt so rich. Now that I have so much money that I can’t even spend it all, I naturally have to enjoy it.
She first bought herself several pieces of clothes and jewelry. Although she couldn't wear them out to show off, she was in a good mood even if she was hiding in the palace and playing with them.
Fortunately, none of her concubines, the titular queen mother, paid any attention to her, and no one was free to check her sleep in the morning and dusk.
She also enjoyed her leisure time and spent a lot of time tending flowers and plants in the palace.
Taking advantage of the spring, I planted large areas of winter jasmine and irises, and built a grape trellis. I thought it would be nice to enjoy the cool weather in the summer, so I conveniently built a swing under the trellis.
When the spring sunshine was just right, she stood on the swing and let Chun Ya push the swing for her.
Mu Qingchao was so courageous that no matter how high the swing was, it was not enough.
Chun Ya felt scared and kept asking: "Queen Mother, is it enough? Is it enough?"
Mu Qing's playland was on the rise.
"Not enough, not enough, higher, higher..."
As the swing flew high, Mu Qingchao closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun falling on his eyelids. If he took a deep sniff, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of soil and vegetation.
Spring...
very nice.
She can still see the spring sunshine, how nice it is...
It's been a long, long time since I've been so happy.
Just at this moment, Shen Muchi passed by Chaoyun Palace, and by chance, he saw a scene across the wall.
The stunning beauty wore a crimson dress with wide sleeves and flowers. The wind swelled the hem of her skirt, making her waist as thin as a willow, and her slender body seemed to be fragile.
Her wide sleeves flew up, exposing a section of her wrist, like frost and snow.
The smile on her face was brighter than it had ever been before. It was different from the standard smile before. It was open and cheerful, as bright as the morning glow of the sun, and as bright as the blooming flowers of flowers.
Her loud voice urged the maid pushing the swing for her: "Higher, higher, higher..."
The spring sun is scorching, and she is more dazzling than the spring sun.
Shen Muchi stopped involuntarily.
He seemed to finally understand why his father was so seduced by such a woman.
"Hibiscus is not as beautiful as beauty makeup."
He was so fascinated by it that he muttered a sentence.
Lu Xi looked at his master in a daze and said, "Come to think of it, the Queen Mother is only a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She naturally likes to have fun."
Yes, this is what a fifteen or sixteen year old girl should look like.
Shen Muchi maintained himself, he was not a lustful person, he didn't even like to take a look at how many beautiful women came before his eyes.
But at this moment, he thought, if there were more girls like this, he would like to keep them all in the palace. Even just looking at them, he would be happy in his heart.
In the past, he didn't understand that it was difficult for a hero to be a beauty, but now he understands everything.
