Chapter 156 Is this going to make a fortune?
Bao Zhengqi didn't know why she asked this, but he answered honestly: "Yes, now most of my business is handed over to my eldest son."
"But the grain and oil shop is indeed our family business and has always been in operation. Master Su, do you need to buy some grain?"
Su Nuobai smiled and shook his head: "There will be a snowstorm this winter. This time, as a reward, I would like to ask Master Bao to help me store some food for disaster relief and porridge."
Bao Zhengqi frowned immediately when he heard this: "Is there really a snowstorm this winter?"
Su Nuobai nodded: "Southwest."
Bao Zhengqi glanced at his son.
"Master Su, this is the silver for this feng shui change. I asked someone about it before, but I'm not sure if it's enough. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll go get more."
"Also, regarding the food storage you mentioned, we still need your money. We are willing to store food to use for disaster relief and porridge, which can also be considered as accumulating merit for the Bao family."
After Bao Mingyuan finished speaking, he pushed the box containing the banknotes in front of Su Nuobai.
Su Nuobai glanced casually and saw that there were at least ten thousand taels in it.
Mo Bao turned to look at her, asking if she would accept it.
Su Nuobai nodded at her and said, "Since the Bao family is willing to do this good deed, I will give you a gift."
"Now, after you've stockpiled food, head southwest. You can make some signs or slogans for your Bao family along the way."
She looked at Bao Mingxu again and said, "Why not let the Second Young Master go there in person?"
Bao Mingyuan was a little puzzled: "What's the use of this?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Su Nuobai looked at the Bao family and said, "I still have some amulets for sale. Are you interested in buying some?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Master Su, you name the price and I will send someone to get the money immediately." Lian Lizhu agreed very quickly.
The Bao family was not short of money, so they bought talismans made of jade.
Su Nuobai took the money and left. After leaving the Bao family's door, he told Lu Heyu and Wei Ling about the gift he had just given.
Since it is a good deed, it cannot be done in vain. People must know who is doing it.
When Lu Heyu received the message, the morning court session had not yet ended.
Today, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that there will be a snowstorm this winter, but the court has not yet come up with a solution.
However, he mouthed the word "Southwest" to Xi Jinyou who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Xi Jinyou understood and frowned slightly. How could it be the southwest?
There has never been any snow in that place. If it snows suddenly heavily, it could really be a natural disaster.
"Today's morning court ends here. Everyone go back and think about how to deal with the situation, and come up with a solution at tomorrow's morning court." After Xi Jinyou finished speaking, he dismissed the court.
However, the newly appointed Minister of Revenue Lin Yongchang and Lu Heyu were both called to the Imperial Study.
Lu Heyu did not hide what Su Nuobai told him.
Lin Yongchang was the one who replaced Su Deyi, and naturally he was also Xi Jinyou's man: "Your Majesty, if Lord Su's calculations are correct, I think we can set off early."
"Let's learn from Lord Su's method. We must let the people know who gave us this favor."
Xi Jinyou looked at him: "You mean to put a name on it too?"
"Of course, we won't need to do that on the way there, but if Lord Su's calculations are correct, it will be almost winter when we reach the southwest from Shengjing City."
"The timing is perfect. We don't have to make a big fuss on the road, but can print the royal seal on the rice bags."
"When the people arrive, the first thing they see is the emperor's grace. This is a great opportunity to win their hearts."
Lin Yongchang looked at Lu Heyu: "What do you think, Lord Lu?"
"I think that's what Lord Su meant. Doing this will only benefit Your Majesty, not harm him. But who is the right person to transport him?"
Lu Heyu looked at the two of them and asked.
"I think Prince Chi is very suitable." Lin Yongchang said with a smile.
Xi Jinyou looked at Lu Heyu: "What do you think?"
"I also think Chi Ye is suitable, and it's time to find him something to do." Lu Heyu said with a smile.
Now we have to wait for the announcement after tomorrow morning court, but we still have to trouble Ji Zimo to calculate the southwest direction.
Su Nuobai didn't know what happened in the palace, so she took the two little ones to set up a stall.
"Hey! You come so late today." Uncle Jia was packing up his stall, and he didn't leave when he saw her.
Su Nuobai looked at his empty stall and asked, "You're here so early today?"
"It's been busy with farming lately, so I want to sell out quickly and go home early." Grandpa Jia said this, but he had no intention of leaving.
"Why aren't you going back?" Su Nuobai looked at him without moving.
"I want to see if there is anything new today. I can tell the villagers when I go back, and I won't feel tired while working." Grandpa Jia said with a smile.
Su Nuobai was speechless. This was someone treating her fortune-telling as gossip.
But after a while, someone really sat in front of her stall.
Ge Tiangong looked a little nervous. He was wearing a coarse linen shirt with many patches on it.
He held three meat buns in his hand and handed them to Su Nuobai: "Master Su, I would like to invite you to visit my home."
Su Nuobai observed his face: the Palace of Wealth was bright red, which meant he was going to get rich.
"I wonder what happened to your family?"
Ge Tiangong was in a very tangled mood: "I don't know how to put it, but strange things always come to my house at night."
"Dirty stuff?" Uncle Jia became interested and leaned forward a little.
Ge Tiangong had a complicated expression: "Well, my family is all honest and decent people. We don't do anything bad. I don't know how we attracted these dirty things to our house."
Su Nuobai saw that he didn't have any evil spirits: "Did you see clearly what these things look like?"
Ge Tiangong nodded quickly: "I can see clearly, there are three of them. One is dressed in white, thin and tall, with no face, and wearing a pointed hat on his head."
"Why does he look so much like Bai Wuchang? He doesn't have a long tongue with a sign saying 'Sight Brings Fortune' written on it!" Xiao Jiang complained.
Mo Bao hit him on the head: "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Jiang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ge Tiangong shook his head: "None of what you said."
"Go on." Su Nuobai had already guessed what it was, but still wanted to confirm what the other two were.
"The other one was dressed in yellow, also fat, with a square hat, and also had no face. The last one was dressed in black, with a figure that was neither fat nor thin, and had no hat."
"Master Su, they just float around the house every night. I ask them what they want, but they don't say anything."
"Tell me, are they going to harm our family?"
The more Ge Tiangong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Young man, don't scare yourself. Master Su is here!" Uncle Jia comforted him.
Su Nuobai looked at him and asked, "Is the place you live in now bought by your family, or is it the ancestral home left by your family?"
Ge Tiangong didn't know what she meant by this question, but he answered honestly: "I don't know. I have lived here since I was born."
