"Three catties and three ounces. I'll give you a little more. Now it's more than three catties and six ounces, almost three catties and seven ounces. Three cents per catty, I'll charge you ten cents. Thank you for your patronage. You're welcome to come again next time."

Yingniang has a talent for business, she is careful with accounts and has a sweet mouth, so the bean sprout business is unexpectedly very good.

An ox cart stopped in front of Yingniang's stall. An old servant looked at Yingniang's bean sprouts with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yingniang quickly greeted him, "Welcome, there aren't many left, I'll sell them all to you."

Seeing the old servant nodded, Yingniang immediately put all the remaining bundles of bean sprouts into the scale pan, "A total of two catties and fourteen taels, three cents per catty, I'll charge you eight cents, do you want the rest of the loose ones? I'll give them to you for free."

Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the old man who lifted the curtain on the oxcart, and said to Yingniang, "This old gentleman is a distinguished guest. It's a rare opportunity for him to come. I'll give everything to him. You pack up your things and go home first."

Yingniang looked at Wang Zheng in confusion. Although she didn't know what her brother meant, she nodded obediently. After handing the bundles of bean sprouts on the scale to the old servant, she packed up her things and went home.

Wang Zheng was somewhat hesitant as he didn't understand the old man's purpose.

Your Majesty has been resentful of me since the incident with Empress Wu, and this is something known to the whole world.

Changsun Wuji smiled at Wang Zheng, patted the seat next to him and said, "Come up and talk."

The ox cart started slowly, and Changsun Wuji sighed, "At the banquet yesterday, I offered my resignation to His Majesty."

"That's wise."

Your Majesty already holds a high position of righteousness, and now that there is no longer any constraint on money and food, I immediately find myself in a difficult position. If I don't step down early while there is still some affection, what are I waiting for?"

"Although you are not in the court, what you have done in the past year is enough to cause a stir in the court. I thought you would be somewhat proud when you heard the news of my resignation."

In fact, my method of strong suppression is the best, but she herself does not act properly, which makes it a bit difficult to deal with.

I always feel that he is a little kid, and I'm afraid that he will make the wrong choice, but he has already grown into a real man-eating dragon and has his own ideas.

Yingniang was not happy. "What's the use of a little silver? You can only make money by growing bean sprouts. How about you think of another way to make copper for me?"

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, sighed, and got on the ox cart.

"Why, are you afraid that the Queen will be suspicious?"

It's incredible that a person could earn tens of millions of copper coins and create something like vermicelli by relying on a small imperial farm in just one year, or a little more than half a year to be exact.

Now Yingniang hesitated.

"If everyone thinks like you, then our family will break up. If you get married and get bullied, no one will stand up for you."

Yingniang threw herself into Wang Zheng's arms, hugged Wang Zheng's waist, and sobbed aggrievedly, "Mother stole my copper coins and beat me."

Seeing Yingniang running towards him crying, Wang Zheng took a few quick steps and asked with a smile, "What happened?"

"Won't my mother still snatch it away?"

Wang Zheng nodded, "I do believe in this, Your Excellency the Duke. After all, you don't need to use such means to deal with a nobody like me. If Your Excellency the Duke really does this, I may not be able to return to Bashu."

Originally in history, Zhangsun Wuji did hold out for several years before he was demoted to a local position by Li Zhi, and was finally forced by Li Zhi to commit suicide as an apology.

Watching the ox cart go away, Wang Zheng turned around and went home. This small market spontaneously organized by the villagers was not far from his home, and soon Wang Zheng saw his house.

Of course, Li Zhi’s character was well-sold, and later Wu Zetian usurped the throne and massacred the aristocratic families, so all the sins would be borne by Wu Zetian.

This gave Wang Zheng a headache, and he advised, "How can you say that your mother is robbing?"

Wang Zheng was somewhat surprised, but said nothing.

"Your Excellency the Duke is wise."

"I can do it quietly."

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I am still in the martial arts world. The affairs of the court are still too far away from me. What expression do you want me to have, Lord Duke?"

Wang Zheng saluted and got out of the car, and finally bowed and said goodbye, "My lord, take care."

"Proud?" Wang Zheng was somewhat surprised.

"Why don't you have any expression at all?"

Wang Zheng continued to persuade her, “So, I think you should help your mother with the bean sprout business. At most, you can just secretly hide a little money every time.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said affirmatively: "You should feel proud indeed."

Let’s not talk about this anymore.

Wang Zheng, I came here today to tell you that the attack you suffered last time when you left Chang'an had nothing to do with me. "

As long as one is a human being, he or she will always have his or her own little plans. Yingniang is also a very capable girl. Wang Zheng sighed a little. There is no way to reason about such things.

"Even if I snatch it, it's my copper." Yingniang twisted herself into a knot in Wang Zheng's arms. Seeing that Wang Zheng still didn't let her make the decision, she whispered, "I will take the copper back to her mother's home."

Zhang Sun Wuji's face was full of bitterness. "It was fine when I was young, but now I am old and confused, otherwise I would not have offended Your Majesty.

"Your Excellency, the Duke, have said too much. How dare I express my opinion on your decision? Your Excellency thinks too highly of me."

"I'll just give you some silver and you can hide it yourself, is that okay?"

“I didn’t think highly of you. Perhaps I didn’t think highly enough of you.

As a result, your sudden appearance made me completely powerless to resist, because you made up for the only shortcoming of His Majesty and Empress Wu: money and food.

Wang Zheng's face darkened. "You can't tell this kind of thing to anyone. Even if it's true, you can't say it out loud."

Originally, I thought that even if I could not eliminate His Majesty's grudge, I could at least hold out for a few years to see if there would be any improvement.

Wang Zheng bowed to the old man on the ox cart and asked, "Duke Zhao is visiting incognito. What is your business?"

"That's it. Okay, now that we've talked about it, I'll take my leave."

If you are more obedient, then mother won’t suspect you. Anyway, mother can’t settle accounts with you. If you hide a little less each time, she won’t know. "

"But my sister-in-law is a smart one."

"Well, you can promise her that you will tell her how to make bean sprouts in two months and let her pass it on to her parents. Then she won't make things difficult for you."

"No, how can we spread this method? Then our family will suffer a great loss."

"It's okay. Brother has many ways to solve the problem. Don't be afraid to spread the word."
