Chapter 113 Visiting the Chen Family
The corners of her mouth turned up, and she looked smiling, which made Luo Huai laugh as well.
"Okay." He agreed directly.
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows, so easy to talk to.
"You don't know how much silver there is, do you?" She held up five fingers and whispered, "A full five hundred thousand taels... of gold!"
In modern times, this is less than 10 billion in assets, but it is almost there.
And this is cash flow!
Hearing this number, Luo Huai, who has never cared about money, was surprised for a second.
I didn't expect that my grandfather had hidden such a large sum of money.
but……
He still smiled and said, "If mother wants it, I'll give it to you."
Zhu Mingqing was deeply moved and was about to pat Haodaer on the shoulder to tell him that he had money.
Unexpectedly, the other party said, "I believe that mother has the ability to use this money to save more family property. When we arrive at Guancheng, I will teach my younger siblings more, and the task of reviving the Luo family will be left to mother..."
Before he could finish his words, the jade pendant was thrown at him.
Zhu Mingqing looked at him with a stern expression, sighing and shaking his head.
Look, what is this talking about?
And let her, as a mother, revive the family business?
Isn't this what you, the future emperor, should do?
Moreover, she recruited Wen Baolu, the future richest man, who has first-class business ability. Although it is not very obvious now, we must give him time to grow.
If there is an opportunity, I will recruit all the talented people in the book.
When the time comes, leave the outside matters to them, and then life will be easy and enjoyable.
As for the rest of the time, I felt a little greedy when I thought about the modern delicacies that I hadn’t eaten for a long time.
Luo Huai originally wanted to make a joke, but now seeing his mother's expression, he thought he had done something that would anger God and man.
He immediately explained: "I was just joking."
"That's more like it." Zhu Mingqing hummed twice, thought about it, and then said earnestly: "You are still so young, you must not be discouraged. A good man has ambitions and should make great achievements and establish a foundation for others to admire."
She spoke in an excited tone, held her head high and chest out, and raised her arms to make a cheering gesture.
He was thinking in his heart: When the time comes, I will rush back to the capital, capture that inhuman old emperor, make him sing and dance, and then kill him when I have had enough fun!
Luo Huai was also very excited by what he said, and just when he was about to speak——
Zhu Mingqing sighed again:
"Besides, I am your mother. It is your duty to respect me. You must not push all the problems onto an old lady like me."
Luo Huai choked.
Old man?
Could it be that the person who killed people as easily as cutting vegetables was someone else?
If she is an old lady, then what is a person of the same age as her grandfather?
An old immortal?
"In short, you can't slack off!" Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Zhu Mingqing made the final decision.
Luo Huai was helpless.
I used to know that my mother was omnipotent, but I didn’t expect that she had such a naughty side.
In fact, it is not Luo Huai's fault that he didn't know. Zhu Mingqing never talks much in front of outsiders unless she has other plans. Moreover, when she persuades others, she has one set of words after another.
…
A day later, everyone finally arrived at the gate of Le County.
This was a town they encountered when they came out of Zhending Prefecture. Liang He immediately led his men into the city and prepared to have a good rest.
As for the people who followed them, some stayed outside the city, while others paid money and entered the city.
Zhu Mingqing was thinking about her capable man and left the inn shortly after arriving.
Chen Nong was quite well-known in Le County. He just grabbed a passerby on the street and pointed out the direction to Zhu Mingqing.
So she walked and asked as she went, and finally she came to the gate of a large house in the east of the city.
Zhu Mingqing tidied up his appearance and clothes, then went forward and knocked on the door.
An old man opened the door. Looking at the woman he didn't know, he asked, "Who are you and what brings you here?"
Zhu Mingqing was holding a bag of rice and apples, all produced in the Immortal Palace.
When you take the liberty of visiting someone, you always have to bring some gifts to please them.
In fact, she wanted to take the seeds produced in the Immortal Palace, but the seeds were not very effective. No matter how much she talked about it, there would be no immediate effect. It would be better for her to just bring a bag of rice to the door.
"You can just call me Mingqing. May I ask if this is the home of Mr. Chen Nongxian? I heard that he has some high-yield grain seeds, so I wanted to come and buy some..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was slammed shut.
Fortunately, Zhu Mingqing reacted quickly and was not hit on the nose.
Zhu Mingqing was stunned!
Without saying a word, he just turned her away.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Zhu Mingqing knocked a few more times, unconvinced. The old man came out to open the door again, but when he saw it was her, he tried to close the door again.
"Hey, wait!" Zhu Mingqing hurriedly held the door. "Old man, I just want to buy some grain seeds. Even if you won't let me in, I can wait here for you to bring them out. That's fine, right?"
The old man's face turned black, "Let go!"
Zhu Mingqing shook his head stubbornly, "I really just want to buy grain seeds, there's absolutely no other intention."
As for the matter of kidnapping the old man to Guancheng, we will talk about it after we see him.
"You..." The old man was very angry. The last person who came to buy grain seeds was the one whom the master sold to out of kindness.
But who knew that the other party was the county magistrate's men, and those people had already set their sights on the master.
If the master had not been seriously ill this time, he probably would not have been released.
Now another person comes to buy grain seeds. Even if the other party is a weak woman, the master can't stand it anymore.
The old man wanted to close the door without caring about anything, but Zhu Mingqing couldn't really use force. What if someone got hurt and she couldn't buy grain seeds? Where would she find another Chen Nong?
Then there is really no hope of repairing the immortal palace.
"Zhu girl?"
At this moment, an old and familiar voice sounded behind him.
The two people who were confronting each other at the door stopped.
Zhu Mingqing turned around and said in surprise, "Doctor Hua! Why are you in Le County?"
The person who came was actually Old Man Hua, whom he had never seen since they parted in the small mountain village that day.
He just saw the back figure that looked a bit like Zhu Mingqing in his impression, but he didn't expect it was really her.
He walked forward carrying some medicinal herbs, stroking his beard with a smile: "Zhu girl, how about you? Why are you alone?"
As he spoke, he walked up the steps and greeted the old man who opened the door.
Seeing this, Zhu Mingqing realized that they must have known each other, so that made things easier.
She said dejectedly, "We just arrived in Le County and will continue our journey tomorrow. I heard that there was a virtuous man named Chen Nong in Le County, so I came here to visit him. Who knew..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the old man inadvertently, and he dodged to the side as if frightened, which was completely inconsistent with his stubborn look just now.
The old man's eyes widened when he saw this scene.
Shameless!
Who was it just now who was determined not to give up until he bought the grain seeds!
