Chapter Seventy-Two: Each Demonstrates His Abilities
The story of General Zhao's beating spread early the next morning, even in the small courtyard where Li Jie and the others lived, when Ji Qing got up to buy breakfast in the morning, he also heard about it.
The breakfast seller was carrying a load through the streets and talking to Ji Qing at the entrance of the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard naturally listened.
Ji Qing brought breakfast into the house with a worried look on his face. Seeing that there was no displeasure on his master's face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This tofu cake is so sweet, please try it. Although it is sold on the street, But they are all passed down from our ancestors and have their own secret recipes."
Wei Meilin walked in from outside, holding porridge in his hand, "I'm still injured, how can I eat tofu? It's hair. I asked Su Mo to buy porridge early in the morning. I'd better eat this."
It's just the right time, it's just the right time.
He showed his face in front of Li Jie, stroked Ji Qing's face, and accused him of not serving carefully.
Ji Qingduo was shrewd and didn't make any excuses. He knelt down directly on the ground and said, "This slave didn't think well."
"Get up, now I am no longer a prince, and there are not so many rules. I don't have to kneel down every now and then." Li Jie finally took a bite of the tofu puffs on the table, "It's delicious. Very lazy.”
Then he said to Wei Meiling on the side, "This injury on my body is nothing, and there are not so many taboos. You can take the porridge back and eat it."
"In this case, I will take it back." Wei Meiling didn't show any displeasure on his face. "I wanted to go out and see if I could get some embroidery work back. This family can't stay like this all the time, so Let’s talk to my branch first.”
"No, why are you asked to go out to earn money to support your family? You just need to stay in the hospital." Li Jie replied directly without even thinking about it.
Wei Melin hesitated for a moment, "I was born in a rich family, but I am from a poor family. I don't care about that. Besides, I still embroider things and just bring them home."
"No need to say more, this matter is settled." Li Jie's face turned pale.
Ji Qing glanced at Wei Meilin unhappily and said, "Sir, this tofu must be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
My husband was still ill, so Aunt Wei began to feel restless. She didn't care about him at all, so she didn't care about him.
Wei Meilin glanced at Ji Qing and said, "Then my aunt will go down."
Wei Meilin came to the main room early in the morning. Wang Yuhuan in the east room naturally knew it, but when he heard that he was being driven away, he smiled and was still daydreaming. He really thought he would return soon. The palace?
How ridiculous.
Seeing the breakfast delivered by Ji Qing, Wang Yuhuan lost all appetite, "Don't delay, go back and see what the master says."
When Qiu Ju saw her aunt saying she couldn't wait all morning, she nodded knowingly that breakfast was of no use. She turned around and went out. After leaving the hospital, she went straight to Wang Dianyi's home.
As for the royal nobleman in the palace who suddenly disappeared, it was only rumored that he was seriously ill and was sent to a temple to rest. After hearing this, Wang Dianyi knew that something had happened.
Especially after the prince was demoted to a commoner, the scenery of the past was nowhere to be seen, and the front door of the Wang family became much quieter.
Mrs. Wang frowned all day long, "The emperor didn't care about the prince being imprisoned. It shows that he really ignores this younger brother. What should we do about Yuhuan?"
The prince is still here, so at least the daughter has a better chance of coming out of the temple. But now that the prince is no longer the prince, he has no one to intercede with his daughter.
"Okay, it's useless for you to cry like this. I hate those people. They used to fawn over me, but now they hide away when they see me. I finally understand that this person can only rely on himself." My daughter can't stand it, and she still can't help it now.
I don't know if this function can be saved.
Just then, a little girl came in and said, "Sir, Qiu Ju next to the eldest girl is back."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Let someone come in quickly."
I just felt like I was stuck in the mud with no hope of getting out. Suddenly I saw someone coming to rescue me. When Mr. Wang saw Qiu Ju coming in, he asked impatiently, "What message did the eldest lady ask you to bring back?"
Qiu Ju met Li first, and from the look on the master's face, she was afraid that he would not be so happy after hearing her words, "The girl has changed her identity now and is with the prince, but now the prince's matter...
I know, the eldest lady asked the master what to do?"
Mr. Wang didn't understand at first, but it took him a while to understand what he meant. He slumped in his chair and said, "She can't even figure out how to do it next to the one in the palace. How can I figure it out when I have a vacant position?"
Now that the eldest lady is here, has she told you what her plans are?"
His hopes were dashed, and Mr. Wang was disappointed.
Qiu Ju thought for a while, "Although the eldest girl is with the prince, it is obvious that the second girl is more important in the prince's heart, and the eldest girl's life is not easy. Fortunately, the prince remembers the old friendship and always treats the eldest girl.
Very caring, but not close to me.”
Mr. Wang also understood what he meant by not being close.
Mrs. Wang cried softly on the side, "It's all my fault. I should have stopped Yuhuan and the prince when I saw it, and it wouldn't have ended up like this."
Mr. Wang looked bad, "What's the use of talking about this now? The emperor is not sure why he hates our family. If the prince is still here, for Yuhuan's sake, he can help us. Now the prince himself can't protect himself.
How can you still control us?"
If the prince had not lost power, given his feelings for Daya and Erya, they would not have to be afraid of being like this now.
If I had known that I had divorced the eldest girl and the prince, if something happened to the eldest girl, at least the second girl would be able to rely on me, but in the end it ended up in this situation.
Mr. Wang also regretted it and knew that it was useless to think about it now.
"After all, the Emperor only has one younger brother. I'm afraid his anger will disappear in a few years, and he will be able to recognize him as his younger brother." Mr. Wang was talking to his daughter, not to himself. "You
Tell the eldest girl, even if you are with the prince now, just calm down and don't have other ideas."
Right now, there is no other way.
Qiu Ju accepted the words and didn't stay much. She stood up and left.
On the street, Qiu Ju took out the money she had saved in the past, ate two big buns and drank a big bowl of soup before walking back.
In the small courtyard, although Li Jie was recuperating from his injuries, he was thinking about how to make money. In the past, he could only hunt and never thought about making money.
"Ajie, do you want to play chess?" Wang Yuhuan came in with the chessboard.
Li Jie had been troubled all morning and couldn't figure out a way to make money. When the woman he liked came in, he simply didn't think about it and sat up to play chess.
The courtyard was quiet, as if only the main house was occupied.
Fortunately, Wang Yuhuan's laughter and Li Jie's low voice could be heard from time to time in the main room. In the east wing, Wei Meilin was eating the snacks Su Mo bought when he went out and listened coldly to the laughter coming from the main room.
Voice.
"How many more days can she be happy? Let's see how she can still laugh when she has no food to eat."
Su Mo didn't answer, but waited quietly on the side.
Wei Meiling sat up boredly, "Is there any news from the palace?"
"The servant only found out from the old woman who bought vegetables that Jin Yi had been serving Grandma Wei. The house was the same as usual, there was nothing different. The emperor did not blame them." As early as when they came out, the old woman who bought vegetables had already told them.
There, Wei Melin asked Sumo to take care of things.
Wei Meilin snorted coldly and was not angry, "Jinyi really thinks that she can stay with the prince just because she has hooked up with her aunt? I just want her to watch and understand who is the real master."
"My master is kind-hearted, how could this matter be done well in other people's hands?" Su Modao did not choose to say something nice, but told the truth.
Wei Meilin sneered, how could she be kind-hearted, but she just sold Jinyi directly, which was an advantage for her.
In the west wing, Wang Yurong was very curious when he saw Ji Qing coming in. Xiaolian hid before Ji Qing came in, "Did your master ask you to come here?"
Ji Qing raised his head and denied, "Madam, it's my servant who wants to talk to Madam about something."
Wang Yurong waited for him to continue.
"I am injured now, and I am powerless to take care of the things in the courtyard. I watched you get up in the morning and kept frowning, and suddenly asked me if there was any good way to make money. To be honest with you, madam,
This slave has been with me all these years, and this is the first time I have seen him look so worried. I have been with you all year round, and I don’t understand this, so I boldly came to ask my wife to think of any way to make money.
." Ji Qing was already kneeling on the ground.
"You are so loyal. How can I, a girl in my boudoir, do anything? If you beg me, you might as well beg Aunt Wei." Wang Yurong was surprised that Ji Qing believed in her so much.
Although I was curious in my heart, I still refrained from asking.
Ji Qing said bluntly, "Aunt Wei only knows how to fight for favors, and she is not pure in heart. Although the madam is always in the boudoir, I know that the madam is powerful and there must be a way."
Does this count as recognizing heroes with a keen eye?
Wang Yurong had to admit that she felt happy after being praised, and it was hard to reject Ji Qing directly. "In fact, it's not difficult to make money. It just depends on whether your master can put down his dignity."
Seeing Ji Qing looking at him, Wang Yurong continued, "Your master's handwriting should be good, right? Then go and set up a handwriting specifically for others to write letters, or else let him go hunting and selling money. With his identity,
Many people don't write letters just to watch the fun, but he can still make a fortune, and it's not difficult to sell the prey he catches."
Ji Qing's eyes lit up. He was a fool if he didn't understand if he was pointed out like this. Madam, she was asking the prince to make money by relying on the curiosity of those people.
"I'm here to thank you, Madam." Ji Qing happily kowtowed three times before retiring.
Xiaolian was obviously outside. As soon as Ji Qing went out, she came back with curiosity on her face, "What does he want to do with the girl?"
Wang Yurong didn't speak and just looked at her. It wasn't until Xiaolian lowered her head in shame that she laughed out loud, "It's nothing, just asking me if there is any way to make money."
Xiaolian curled her lips. She believed in the girl's power without asking. Yang Yebing, whom the prince had a problem with, was immediately settled by the girl, let alone the trivial matter of making money.
