Chapter 73 Lord Pei?
Luo Fu slowly returned to Ningxiangju.
Seeing Chang Jin waiting at the door with his head down, she was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing standing here?"
He lowered his head, looking submissive and humble, without any of his usual laziness and casualness: "Your servant serves the master."
Even the way he spoke became respectful.
Luo Fu felt uncomfortable: "Why do you look like this when you are fine?"
He said, "This is the way to serve your master. In the past, Chang Jin was overstepping his bounds."
Love: ...
She thought about it and it seemed like it was about what happened in the emperor's bedroom yesterday.
"Didn't I tell you that what happened yesterday is not your fault?"
He finally raised his face, with a hint of resentment: "Your Excellency may say that you don't blame me, but I can't say for sure in my heart."
Luo Fu found it funny: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
He said, "You know it clearly in your heart. To suddenly ask about my background is clearly a sign of alienation and suspicion."
Love: ...
He is really thoughtful.
She did doubt him, but not his feelings for her.
But they doubt his identity.
She couldn't just say that.
But now it seems that he should not be His Majesty.
How could His Majesty, who is a high-ranking official, be so fond of vying for favor and so resentful as Chang Jin?
She felt relieved and coaxed him, "I don't mean to be estranged from you. I'm just curious about how you got the news to His Majesty. Don't worry."
He said, "Really?"
Luo Fu said: "Really."
Murong Jin smiled.
His delicate beauty was really sentimental, but after showing weakness for a few words, she convinced herself again.
He stepped forward, loosely holding her in his arms, and led her to the main hall. "Today there is a happy event. Your shop has made some money, and now it is in the house. Please come and see it."
Luo Fu was very surprised when she heard this: "Did Pokeweed and Honeysuckle send it? Where are they? I want to meet them."
Murong Jin said, "The palace rules are very strict, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. If you want to see them, please sleep with them more often. When you are promoted to queen, you will be able to see them."
Love: ...
She was a little disappointed and blushed.
She doesn't even know what His Majesty looks like.
I don't even know his temper. How did he get promoted to queen after having so many nights in bed with her?
And His Majesty is also weird...
She didn't want to go to the bed...
But she had no choice.
Love walked back to the main hall in a confused mood and saw a stack of banknotes on the table.
She was stunned for a moment, picked them up and counted them. They were all silver notes with a face value of one hundred yuan, a total of five.
Five hundred taels!
She was stunned: "How could it be so much? I calculated it before, and my monthly profit is about ten taels."
Murong Jin picked up the letter on the table and handed it to her: "They also wrote a letter, perhaps there is an explanation in it, please take a look."
Love put down the banknote, took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.
"So they've opened a branch! And someone even bought shares!"
Luo Fu was pleasantly surprised and said, "It turns out that Shanglu and Jindong have talent for business. Fortunately, they stayed outside. Otherwise, if they had followed me into the inner court, their talents would have been buried."
Murong Jin said, "How could that be? The Academy of Literature opened by His Majesty not only teaches essays for the imperial examinations, but also teaches business and embroidery."
Luo Fu had never seen it, and this was her first time hearing about it. She couldn't help but praise, "Your Majesty is not only kind and benevolent, but also very wise. I only thought about Sister Xiangjun and the housing issues of the selected concubines, but Your Majesty has thought of every aspect."
Murong Jin was very pleased to hear this. He stared at her and asked, "Does the noble lady like His Majesty and wish to be with His Majesty always?"
Love fell silent.
Murong Jin thought she would not say anything more, but she continued, "I like it. Such a good Majesty, all the subjects in the world will like him."
Therefore, it is just the subjects’ love for their king and father.
Although Murong Jin was dissatisfied, he was not surprised.
He covered her eyes and kissed her without speaking to her. She was lucky that she didn't resist.
Here, Love became happy again as she looked at the banknotes in her hand.
I have money now!
The weather was about to turn cold, and she had money, so she wouldn't have to worry about charcoal even in winter.
She felt so happy when she thought about the warm quilt in her room on a snowy day and the hot pot to eat when she woke up.
Murong Jin saw her radiant peach blossom eyes narrowed in smiles as she gazed at the banknotes. "It's only five hundred taels, and you're so happy. What will you do if there are more in the future?"
Luo Fu's eyes curved. "I'm even happier. Chang Jin, come and help me figure out how to spend this money. I want to save some, go to the Imperial Household Department to exchange for some cloth for food and daily necessities, and also give some to you as rewards. Oh, right, I also need to write back to Shang Lu and Ren Dong."
"Your Excellency has so many things to do." Murong Jinquan helped her sit at the desk under the south window, and he also pulled a chair and sat down beside her, "Then we have to carefully calculate it."
Luo Fu pushed the inkstone to him and said, "Help me grind the ink. Shang Lu and the others should still be here. I'll finish writing quickly, and you can have someone pass it to them."
Murong Jin lifted up his robe sleeve and took the ink stick to grind the ink.
He watched her write four full pages before he hurriedly found an envelope and handed it to him.
This was not the end yet. He went out and called Shouzhong to ask if he had any freshly made snacks.
It happened that there were still a lot of snacks left from the ones she had made for Zhao Yuanchun, so she asked him to wrap them up and put them in his hands along with the money, instructing him, "Be sure to deliver them to them for me."
Murong Jin looked at her busy body, with a tenderness in his eyes that he himself did not realize: "I know."
He walked out of Ningxiangju holding a letter and money in one hand and snacks in the other.
Chang An then came out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."
Murong Jin handed him the things in his hand and said, "Send them to those two girls. Make sure they get them. If they have anything to say, tell them back as well."
Chang An quickly responded, carefully took the item with both hands, and hurried away.
Among the concubines, palace maids and eunuchs in the inner court, there were many relatives and friends who would come to deliver gifts.
Usually you will be stopped at the Chengde Gate in front.
If you give some benefits to the eunuchs working at Chengde Gate, they will help you get it in.
Naturally, if the people inside want to hand something out, they have to give benefits.
Chang'an hurried to Chengde Gate, packed up the silver and money in his hand, and left quickly.
This is not a festival.
There were only two maids outside, looking in.
Chang An walked over and asked, "Are you the maidservants of my noble lady Luo?"
Shanglu and Rendong did not leave because they knew that their daughter would definitely reply after seeing the letter and money.
Seeing Chang An say this, he knew that he was the one sent by his daughter. He nodded in response and asked excitedly, "Excuse me, sir, is my daughter doing well in there?"
Chang An handed the things in his hand to them and said with a smile: "Of course it's good. How can my master be so beautiful and kind-hearted? It can't be bad."
When Rendong heard this, she smiled so hard that her teeth showed and her eyes did not see: "That's right, Grandpa."
Shang Lu also smiled: "I hope the father-in-law can help us say one more thing, just tell our daughter that we are doing well and ask her not to worry about us."
Chang An responded with a smile, took note of their attire and appearance so that he could give his master a detailed reply. After saying a few more words, he went back.
Shang Lu and Ren Dong watched him walk away, then turned around with their things and prepared to get on the carriage.
A man was walking past the carriage.
Honeysuckle felt that he looked familiar, so she looked at him a few more times and then called out, "Master Pei?"
