Chapter 652 Emperor Kangxi: Are you poor?
Wen Jiu felt relieved after hearing what he said. He stuffed the ginseng into his hand and took the box. "It's settled. Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Meng. I'll take your ancient ink as well. Thank you on behalf of my father."
As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the box, leaving Mr. Meng standing alone at the door of the corridor.
Mr. Meng was also confused at this moment: "This...this...this is too different."
"Master, since it's the Fourth Young Master who asked, then please accept it." The servant beside him said, "I'm sure the Fourth Young Master has his own considerations. Now it seems that the Fourth Young Master is a little anxious. I guess he has something to discuss with Master Luo. Why don't we not disturb him for now? Madam is waiting for you to dine with her."
After hearing this, Mr. Meng could only nod and say, "In that case, let's go back first."
I'll return the extra money to the Fourth Young Master later.
As he was warming the wine, the moment he entered the room, he saw Emperor Kangxi looking at him with a sour face.
Wen Jiu glanced at Emperor Kangxi's head, and to be honest, he felt a little relieved.
Although the old man looked very angry, the heart on his head still had some color and did not turn black, which meant that at least he did not have any ill feelings towards himself.
He then handed the box over with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is what you liked. Please take a look at it. Do you like it?"
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi looked at Wenjiu suspiciously.
Judging from the fourth brother's personality, he probably wouldn't give all the money to Wenjiu to manage.
Even if she was in charge, Wenjiu would not carry all the wine with her when she went out.
Emperor Kangxi was thinking that even if this Wen girl had no money, he had some silver on him. At least it would be enough to cover his expenses. He could also teach her a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Wenjiu actually took these boxes back.
After taking a closer look at the things in the box, Emperor Kangxi squinted at Wenjiu and said, "What? Is it on credit?" He didn't expect that she had such a high status in the Chamber of Commerce that she dared to give her such a large amount on credit.
When Wen Jiu heard this, he said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Your Majesty, how could that be possible? How could anyone in our family buy on credit?"
Liang Jiugong: "..." Awesome, we are one family now.
"Oh, you know that." Emperor Kangxi still didn't quite believe what she said, and subconsciously looked at Liang Jiugong beside him.
Liang Jiugong also nodded firmly: "Your Majesty, I guarantee that Concubine Wen absolutely did not buy anything on credit. She... earned it in exchange."
Although I lost some money on the exchange.
I wonder what the emperor's expression would be if he knew that these things were exchanged for ginseng that was at least 1,200 years old.
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he frowned again: "In exchange?"
Wen Jiu took the opportunity to explain, "Your Majesty, I used to do some small business, so I have some money. I can afford this 100,000 taels. Besides, even if I spend all my money to buy it, what does it matter? If it can make you happy, I am willing to do it."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Did you earn this money yourself?"
Wen Jiu nodded confidently: "Yes, I earned it myself. I often appear here to earn more money. Speaking of which, Your Majesty gave me the order."
Emperor Kangxi was so angry at her words that he laughed: "So you left the palace without permission and it's my fault? When did I ever give you permission?"
Wen Jiu immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, how can it be the emperor's fault? I want to thank you, Your Majesty. Do you still remember that you gave me a lot of silver during the southern tour?
At that time, I was told to use the money to do business. With the money from Your Majesty, I am truly blessed, and my business is now flourishing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Emperor Kangxi was staring at him for a long time without saying anything.
Wen Jiu was not too afraid, because the color of the heart on the emperor's head had indeed become darker.
After a while, I heard Emperor Kangxi snort coldly and flick his sleeves: "Let's go to your house."
When Wenjiu heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Hey, I'll be right there. I'll pack my things."
As he spoke, he quickly wrapped the food on the table with oil paper again. There were too many odds and ends. He took out a cloth bag from his arms, put all the odds and ends into it, and carried it on his back.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the huge bundle of grass next to him and trotted to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, let's go."
When Liang Jiugong saw the action of warming the wine, he was a little stunned for a moment.
Subconsciously, he looked at Emperor Kangxi standing next to him, and sure enough, he saw that Emperor Kangxi also looked like he had seen a ghost.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't bear to look at her. The daughter-in-law in front of him was carrying a large cloth bag on her back and a huge bundle of grass on her right shoulder. If it weren't for her outstanding face, others would have mistaken her for a candied haws vendor!
They are so similar.
"...Wenjiu, are you poor?"
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but ask.
Wen Jiu immediately responded with a brilliant smile: "Your Majesty, this servant is just saving where it is necessary and spending where it is necessary. Food is the most important thing for the people, we cannot waste it. Besides, this servant was not poor before, but now, isn't he poor?"
As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at the box in Emperor Kangxi's hand.
Emperor Kangxi was silent for a moment, then he stuffed the box in his hand into the hands of Liang Jiugong beside him and said in a bad tone, "Hurry up and leave."
Then he strode away with his hands behind his back.
Wenjiu looked at the heart on the old man's head and felt a little proud.
Look, even in this situation, there is still a wave of love, and the love is pink.
Just when he was feeling smug, he noticed that Emperor Kangxi in front of him suddenly stopped and turned around with his eyes narrowed.
"why are you laughing?"
Wen Jiu immediately stopped talking: "Walking with the emperor will definitely bring me some blessings. This servant is happy."
Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't get too close to me. If ordinary people see me, they might think I know you."
Then, he looked at Wenjiu with disgust, then strode away with his hands behind his back.
Warming the wine: "..."
Am I embarrassing myself? Huh?
[Master, it’s a bit…]
Wenjiu: "Come, come here, I promise not to beat you to death!"
…
The Fourth Master had finally finished the tasks assigned by the Emperor. Then, upon hearing news from Black Wind that the Fourth Young Master had been spotted again at the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce, he rode straight there.
However, I was still a step too late. When I arrived, I heard that the two men had just left.
The Fourth Master wasn't too disappointed this time. He just grew more curious about this Fourth Young Master. He always managed to slip away right before his eyes, so he must be quite capable.
When I was riding a horse on the road, I saw a peddler grinning happily, which looked very festive. The candied haws he was selling looked very pleasing to the eye in this snowy winter day.
The little girl preferred these sour and sweet things. The Fourth Master tightened the reins and waved to the vendor: "Give me a string of candied haws."
