Chapter 233 Yun Qiao secretly bribed the people in his house
"Lord Wang, go talk to the people in Kyoto, and explain to the Emperor that there are rich minerals in Mobei. Once mined, all of them will naturally be given to the national treasury. But the premise is that I need people and money to mine. How can I open mines without money? I am doing all this just to make money."
"Please, Lord Wang, please polish my idea and inform His Majesty."
Wang Dechang was asked to leave.
He swung his sleeves in anger.
When he got back, he told the concubine he brought from Kyoto.
Wang Dechang had married in Kyoto a long time ago, so he naturally had a family in his wife's family, and he also had three concubines in the house, but they all had children, so they were not brought with them.
He brought with him two concubines who had never given birth to children.
One is Wang and the other is Sun.
Wang was born with a charming side, so she always kept Wang Dechang under her wing all day long. But Sun was a smart and insightful person. Although she was not very good at it, she could always analyze some problems for Wang Dechang.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Wang came forward to show her courtesy.
"Sir, you are finally back. The weather in Mobei is really dry. I heard that there are people selling exotic essential oils outside. I want some too. Sir, please buy some for me."
"Get out of the way."
Wang Dechang pushed Wang away angrily.
He walked towards Sun's house.
Sun was naturally very happy when she saw Wang being humiliated through the window. When she heard Wang Dechang's voice, she quickly stood up.
"Sir, you are back. Have a cup of tea first."
"Juan'er, please sit down. I want to talk to you..."
Wang Dechang was also feeling upset, so he started talking to Sun Juaner about it.
After listening to this, Sun Juan analyzed it very considerately.
"My Lord, I feel that you are now in Mobei, in the territory of the King of Mobei. Since the prince has said this, why don't you listen? Besides, the emperor wants you to keep an eye on whether the prince is collaborating with the enemy. Now the prince has really not done anything like this, you are just telling the truth."
"Besides, doing this will be good for you..."
Wang Dechang asked, "What good can it do?"
"Why not? You don't know yet. Among the several adults who came with the prince earlier, there was a man named Niu who was quite arrogant. He died a few days ago. It was said that he was murdered by assassins from all over the country."
"But there are rumors that Lord Niu is always finding fault with the prince, always finding fault with him, and saying that he was murdered by assassins from all over the country. But in fact..."
Sun Juan said this and paused deliberately.
"I didn't say this on purpose. It was just something people said in private."
"No, it was really done by the Marquis, right?"
Wang Dechang was sweating profusely on his back at this moment.
"It seems that I'd better keep a low profile. At least I can't go against the Marquis."
"It's still you, Juan'er, who has won my heart."
As Wang Dechang spoke, he put his arms around Sun Juan and kissed her twice.
Sun Juan also liked it, and the two of them talked and talked until they ended up on the bed.
Two days later, Sun Juan asked her maid to go to the Mobei Palace and deliver a message saying that it was done.
Soon the maid took a purse and left happily, giving the purse to Sun Juan, who naturally kept it.
Yun Qiao has always been worried about Wang Dechang, but she couldn't take action openly. Besides, coercion and inducement might not work, but it would not be difficult to do it by using some money from the people in the backyard.
Sun Juan was from a poor family and was sold to the Wang family as a maid by her parents. Wang Dechang took her in because she was pretty and had a delicate appearance. She used to work as a greenhouse helper, but later Wang Dechang took a fancy to her and brought her here when he came to Mobei.
When Wang Dechang was at the Wang family in Kyoto, it was this concubine who spoke the most pleasantly. On the way to Mobei, it was Sun Juan'er who kept him amused by saying things to him.
Although Wang was beautiful and charming, she was a money-lover and always asked for money.
Wang Dechang is not short of money, but he doesn't like to hear the woman beside him asking him for money all day long.
But Sun Juaner never asked him for anything.
When Wang Dechang saw that she was dressed simply and had a wooden hairpin on her head, he felt sorry for her and gave her more.
But Sun Juan'er was a family-oriented person. All the money she earned from Wang Dechang was used to support her family, and she didn't have much left for herself.
Yun Qiao learned that Sun Juaner's father was ill and bedridden, and that her old mother was the only one at home who had to take care of the whole family. Her younger brother was still young and had not yet married, so they all needed money.
If you can find someone's weak spot, some things will be much easier to handle.
After sending the people outside away, Yun Qiao's personal maid Lily immediately went to reply.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This matter has been taken care of. I think that Sun Shi wouldn't dare to say anything. After all, her whole family is in your hands."
"Okay, remember this and bring it up when the time comes."
"I will remember this."
Yunqiao stood under the porch, looking at the dry sky outside and saw that the wind seemed to be picking up again.
"This Mobei is not as good as Kyoto after all."
She wanted to go back.
It’s like you are living a carefree, happy and comfortable life in Beijing, and suddenly you are sent to the Gobi Desert. Who can bear such a huge gap?
Yunqiao hired a teacher to teach her three children.
It has been nearly half a month now, and it is time to temper Chaochao and Mumu's temperament.
Nian Nian is a smart child, but she is simple-minded and trusts people easily. As long as you give her one point of goodness, she will give her three, five, or even ten points of goodness in return.
This is what Yun Qiao is worried about.
Lily stood in front of him, not daring to say a word. At this moment, His Highness was missing Kyoto.
Not to mention that her master misses her, even as a maid, she often dreams about things in Kyoto.
Yun Qiao said she wanted to go see the children.
Lily immediately opened an umbrella to block out some of the sunlight.
When Yun Qiao went to the villa next door, she saw a private school teacher teaching three children to read and write.
"Mr. Han..."
This gentleman was found by Chen Jingyan, who said he was a man of great talent. Yun Qiao had seen him before.
Mr. Han is not very old, he is thirty-five this year. He has been married and has two children, both girls. The oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is ten years old. Mr. Han has not remarried and the three of them live together as father and daughter.
Mr. Han's family was poor, and the place he lived in was given to him by Chen Jingyan.
Now Mr. Han has become a private tutor for three children, and he lives in the side courtyard of the palace. It is very close to the palace, but it does not belong to the inner courtyard of the palace.
Mr. Han's two daughters also live in the outer courtyard.
Yun Qiao looked at the two girls. The elder one was calm and the younger one was lively.
But she didn't like the eldest girl. She was thoughtful and too eager to get in touch with the palace.
Han Sui looked at Yun Qiao coming and then stood up.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Yun Qiao waved her hand, "Mr. Han, you're welcome. I just came to see the kids. I heard Chao Chao recite a poem yesterday, and I think it must be Mr. Han's good teaching that he was able to recite it so quickly."
Han Sui smiled.
"Your Highness, thank you for your compliments. The two young masters are very clever and learn quickly."
"Miss Nian'er is also a quick learner. As long as I teach her once, she remembers it immediately. I've been teaching for many years, but this is the first time I've met such a smart child."
It can be seen that Han Sui really praises Nian Nian very much.
Yun Qiao smiled faintly on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that she should remind Nian Nian not to act too smart.
I talked to Han Sui about the three children.
Just at this moment, Han Sui's eldest daughter Han Huiniang came over with a food box.
But he walked towards the three children who were still studying.
"I thought you guys must be hungry, so I made some cakes. Please have some first."
"Your Highness is well, and good afternoon, Daddy."
The three children looked at Han Huiniang who was taking out the cakes and did not move.
Nian Nian said obediently, "We're not hungry yet, sister, you can take it away."
My mother said that I can’t eat other people’s food casually, and she should be a polite girl.
Chaochao glanced at the pastry and snorted.
"I won't eat it. Your pastries don't look delicious or delicate enough. They're not even as good as the ones made by my second-rate cook..."
"I don't want to eat it either. I have a poor appetite and can't eat sweet things."
Twilight said this in a rather tactful and polite manner.
Yun Qiao looked at Han Huiniang with a smile, "My child is a picky eater, so I won't bother you, young lady."
"Mr. Han, it's lunchtime now. Let the children eat first. You can also take a rest."
Han Sui nodded.
Yun Qiao waved and walked towards the front yard with the three children.
After Yun Qiao left, Han Sui looked at Han Hui Niang.
"Hui Niang, didn't I tell you not to send anything to the palace? The food in the mansion is very good, much better than at home."
Han Huiniang said, "I'm worried about Daddy."
"Why does Daddy complain that the cakes I made are not tasty? It seems that my cooking skills are really not good. Then I will go to the prince tomorrow to ask him to stay in the palace, even as a maid, so that I can learn some delicious cakes in the palace."
Han Huiniang said this deliberately with a smile.
