The snow was still falling silently outside the window. In the room, there was only the crisp sound of Huai Moran gently touching the rim of the cup with the tea lid. Everyone turned their attention to her. After hearing the sound, she stood up slowly and put the tea cup on the table.
, Fu Shen said calmly: "My father is joking, how can I, a daughter-in-law, understand this? My father is wise and powerful, I must have made a decision."
The eyes of the three people in front of them all lit up, as if they were very surprised that such a half-compliment, half-refutation could be said so beautifully from Huai Moran's mouth. It's just that the emotions in the eyes of the three people at this time were different. Baili Zhancheng
What's more, he is angry, because such a perfect princess leaves him with absolutely no fault to catch, while Baili Yexuan feels sad and regretful, sad that for such an excellent woman, he actually pushed her away with his own hands. From then on, she
Farther......
Compared with the two of them, Huai Fanghua is much simpler and has many more emotions. She is afraid of Huai Moran like this, and at the same time she hates her even more for robbing her of what she had worked so hard to recover in Baili Yexuan's heart.
That little bit of position.
After a moment of silence, Baili Zhancheng said calmly: "Mo Ran, sit down, you are not in good health, so don't always salute." He tried to say these words in a fatherly and loving tone, but he could not get rid of the stiffness in it.
.
When Huai Fanghua saw that Baili Zhancheng actually called Huai Moran by her name and cared about her very much, she couldn't help but feel angry. She was a relegated daughter of the prime minister's family and the concubine of his most beloved son. How could he...
...Thinking of this, Huai Fanghua's face looked a little ugly. Baili Zhancheng glanced at her, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, and said coldly: "Give the third prince and Xi Fujin seats."
"Thank you, Father." Baili Yexuan said hurriedly and respectfully, and then glanced coldly at Huai Fanghua, who looked pale.
Huai Fanghua hurriedly lowered her head, turned pale and murmured: "Thank you, Father." Her ears always echoed with the words "Fu Jin" just now, although Baili Yexuan later took pity on her, doted on her again, and
She was named Fu Jin, but who didn't know that she was once the third imperial concubine appointed by the emperor? She ended up in this situation all because of... Thinking of this, she looked at Huai Moran viciously, but
She found that Huai Moran was also looking at her, and he was still smiling!
Huai Fanghua's newly restored face lost all color again. She unnaturally avoided the sharp and smiling gaze opposite her, and tremblingly went to pick up the tea on the maid's plate. However, because of her trembling, the tea suddenly fell from her
It fell from the hand.
Huai Fanghua's beauty turned pale for a moment, but Baili Yexuan just frowned and had no intention of helping her. At this time, if she shocked the emperor who was in poor health, she would definitely be punished, Huai Fanghua lamented in her heart
Although his life was miserable, there was one hand that firmly held the bottom of the cup.
Huai Fanghua's heart suddenly dropped again. She raised her eyes and even looked at Huai Moran with some gratitude.
"Sister, why are you so careless?" Huai Moran smiled softly, put the tea cup into Huai Fanghua's hand, and asked her to hold the tea well. Fang let go of her hand and silently retreated to his seat.
It's like nothing happened.
Baili Zhancheng and the two were really frightened by Huai Moran's move, because her reaction was too quick and sensitive, unlike someone who didn't know martial arts, and she really didn't know martial arts, so...
.This is really weird.
The frightened pregnant woman put down the tea cup, patted her chest and murmured: "It scared me to death." After that, she forced a smile and said softly: "Sister, thank you.
, If it weren't for you, what would my sister do if she alarmed the emperor?" She tried her best to look obedient, but she didn't realize that everyone except herself looked at her with disgust.
"It's just a little effort." Huai Moran said calmly without comment.
Baili Zhancheng and Baili Yexuan looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in the other's eyes. Immediately, Baili Zhancheng cleared his throat and said lightly: "I heard that Mo Ran you are now the owner of Chongzi Villa.
?”
Huai Moran didn't show any pretense, he nodded gently and said: "Returning to my father, my son and minister are not talented. Because I accidentally saved the old village owner's life, he accidentally became the owner of this Chongzi Villa."
Baili Zhancheng frowned slightly and blurted out: "I heard that the original owner of Chongzi Villa was Ye Heng. Is it just a rumor?"
Huai Moran's face showed astonishment, and then he tugged at the corners of his lips with some disdain, and said lightly: "How can he have the ability to be the master of that village? He will be able to deal with the errands arranged by his father, how can he do it?
Which Dazhuang is responsible for time management?”
Baili Zhancheng thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, but Huai Yao Song had been to Chongzi Villa a long time ago, and Huai Moran was already at Chongzi Villa at that time. How to explain this?
"But..." Huai Moran said again.
Baili Zhancheng frowned and looked at her intently.
"However, he and the old village owner are also good friends, so we occasionally go over to play. Unfortunately, the old village owner and I have a better chance, so I got this advantage." Huai Moran said lightly, but there was something in his words.
It’s hard to hide my pride.
This made Baili Zhancheng, who was originally doubtful, put away some of his doubts. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I see, but where is the old village owner? I have always wanted to meet this miraculous person who is rumored in the world.
Big shot, I heard that he is rich in the world, has great martial arts skills, and even has the power to dominate the world, is that true?"
Huai Moran looked at Baili Zhancheng calmly, and couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was so kind that he could ask her these questions directly. However, she naturally thought of her words, so as soon as Baili Zhancheng finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
He came out, waved his hands and said: "It's not that exaggerated. If this is really the case, why has Chongzi Villa been peaceful and peaceful for so many years? Not to mention that it has unified the world, it doesn't even have any enemies, and what outsiders say is just rumors."
"Oh? Is that so?" Baili Zhancheng expressed doubts. His fox-like eyes stared directly at Huai Moran, as if he wanted to see her face.
But what disappointed him was that she nodded as usual and said solemnly: "Actually, I didn't know until I became the owner of Chongzi Villa that it is said that it is powerful, but it is actually a martial arts school that is larger than others.
, the old owner of the village has very high attainments in martial arts, so naturally he has a group of fools with high eyesight but low hands, well-developed limbs, and simple minds. These fools are assigned to various places by him, each guarding a street, and they just collect some protection fees for the store."
"In addition, the old owner also opened some shops. This is the only serious thing he does. His shop business is very good. In the past few decades, he has accumulated a lot of money. In addition,
Outside, Chongzi Villa is really just an empty place. It is just because it is located in the suburbs and there are no people around usually, so it gradually became like this, which disappointed my father."
After Huai Moran said this, he hid his face and smiled, and then asked curiously: "But why does the emperor ask these questions?"
When she asked this, Baili Zhancheng felt a little embarrassed to speak. He naturally didn't believe Huai Moran's words, but he hadn't found out any details about Chongzi Villa in so many years, and it was hard to refute that Huai Moran was in Fooling him, thinking about this, he frowned helplessly and said with a bit of embarrassment: "It's nothing... I just thought that the prince was fighting outside the customs and the treasury was not full. I thought Chongzi Villa could help, but unexpectedly. ....."
Huai Moran suddenly stood up, knelt down on one knee, hugged Ju with both hands, looked solemn, and said seriously: "Father, the country is in trouble, how can I, Chongzi Villa, sit idly by and ignore it?"
Baili Zhancheng really couldn't understand Huai Moran now, but when he heard that Huai Moran could make money, he was naturally happy and said more cheerfully: "Moran, I knew you were the governor."
Huai Mo Ran received the award, lowered his eyes, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and continued: "Father, you are joking. As your daughter-in-law, as the crown prince, and at the same time the owner of Chongzi Villa, if Mo Ran is still here at this time, If you don't help, I will feel uneasy. But Chongzi Villa doesn't have much money, I wonder...can a hundred thousand taels solve the urgent need?"
Baili Zhancheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Baili Yexuan, who had a solemn look on his face. He was obviously surprised by Huai Moran's words, but he didn't show it, but almost imperceptibly rushed to Baili Zhancheng's point. nod.
Baili Zhancheng said helplessly: "One hundred thousand taels is a bit...well, but the most important thing is your mind, Mo Ran, you can ask the accountant to go to Chongzi Villa to handle it later."
Huai Moran smiled softly and said calmly: "Did your father misunderstand? The one hundred thousand taels that I mentioned was not one hundred thousand taels of silver, but one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Baili Zhancheng was so surprised that his jaw dropped, "Ten...one hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Huai Moran nodded slightly, "Of course, I will not give this money to you in vain. After all, once these one hundred thousand taels of gold come out, our Chongzi Villa's finances will be stretched. Sui Erchen is bold and hopes that his father can give it to him." Please give me some compensation."
There were many wealthy merchants in ancient times. Some people had great wealth, but they never reached the level of wealth that rivals other countries. And how big is the national treasury of China? It’s only one million taels of gold. Think of a Chongzi Villa as having one-tenth of the national treasury. ,Moreover, how could Huai Moran hand over all the belongings of Chongzi Villa?
Baili Zhancheng's face was as dark as water. He deeply felt that he had been tricked by his daughter-in-law, because just now Huai Moran said that Chongzi Villa was not that rich, and in the next moment he said that he would "offer one hundred thousand taels of gold", but , Huai Moran didn't explain how many shops there were? Maybe she was being modest? In short, her words were ambiguous, and he was a little greedy, so he couldn't ask any more questions, and just said lightly: "What compensation does Mo Ran want?" ?”
One hundred thousand taels, one compensation, this is indeed cost-effective.
Huai Moran bowed and said gently and politely: "I wonder if your father has heard of the recent rumors among the people?"
Baili Zhancheng didn't speak, but his brows were already knitted together.
Huai Mo Ran was heartbroken and smiled sweetly: "To be honest with my father, I heard rumors that my father was very dissatisfied with Ye Heng. Not only did he hand over the criminal department he was in charge to the third prince, but he even won the battle. , and did not receive half of the commendation. Some people even said, Father, you want to depose the crown prince and make the third prince the crown prince instead."
Baili Zhancheng became angry and shouted: "Asshole!"
"Isn't he a bastard?" Huai Moran curled up the corners of her lips, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, but she still hid it perfectly. She said leisurely: "I think that although Ye Heng is a bit obedient,
, but he hasn’t made any mistakes in so many years, why wouldn’t he like to talk about it? Furthermore, when the country was in crisis, he stepped forward. Who in the capital does not respect him? Father, you are a man who understands righteousness.
, how could you poke his spine at this time?"
"As for the reward, Father, you also said today that the national treasury is empty, and now it is a good idea to use money. Not to mention not giving a reward, even if you reward it, Ye Heng will not take it. After all, for him, the people
Peace is the most important thing, don’t you think?”
