Chapter 210 The Married Sister
"Master Beller, what are you thinking? Are you interested in getting a hand?" Mo Jing asked Chuntai. After she was welcomed into "Fontainebleau" by Baltu, Prince Kang also came soon. The reason why he came here was because Mo Jing had mentioned a profitable deal with him when he went south. It was because the matter was of great importance. He did not agree immediately at that time and said that he would consider it for a while. Now that Mo Jing is back, he of course has to come and reply.
"Haha, Princess, you are sure. Didn't you just come back from Anhui?" After hearing Mo Jing's question, Chuntai smiled first, without answering directly, and asked back first.
"Of course I came back from Anhui, what's wrong?" Mo Jing asked with a smile.
"Girl, something big happened in Anhui now. Then Ma De is your brother-in-law. Don't you worry about him?" Chuntai asked.
"Big thing? Haha, what big thing can happen in Anhui? Where did you hear such rumors from Mr. Beile?" Mo Jing asked back.
"Now the entire Beijing city is spreading. Anhui Province has a salt wasteland! Princess, why do you deny it?" Chuntai asked with a smile.
"I'm still believing you, what are you talking about! It turns out that this is the matter!" Mo Jing smiled and said, "Actually, Ma De has already sent people to Liaodong to transport salt. I believe that a large amount of salt is now heading towards the estuary of the Yangtze River! Therefore, there is no salt waste in that place in Anhui at all!"
"Oh! I forgot this. There is also a Master Fei in Liaodong and a large salt farm! But..." Chuntai smiled and suddenly changed his voice, "Girl, as far as I know, the salt farm in Liaodong was not opened by Shangshu Fei alone, so Lord Ma wanted to buy salt from there and then transport the salt to Anhui. The expenses here are probably not small, right?"
"Yes. Made did take out a lot of silver!" Mo Jing nodded.
"This is a troublesome! Princess, with the relationship between Lord Yu and Lord Ma, you will definitely help Lord Ma at this time. If I promised what you mentioned at this time, wouldn't it cost a lot of extra money? This is not very cost-effective!" Chuntai said seriously.
"So that's what you think, Mr. Beile. It seems that you have no intention of investing money in this business! Did you?" Mo Jing was not displeased by Chuntai's words and asked with a smile.
"I'm really sorry to Princess!" Chuntai bowed to Mo Jing and said, "Chuntai is also quite honored to be able to get our Prince Kang's mansion when doing things. However, this time the business is really difficult. To be honest, Chuntai is not because Princess is tight now and is reluctant to join because she is afraid of spending more money. She really thinks that this business may be hopeless to make money!"
"I know what Master Beile means." Mo Jing was not angry. She just smiled and said, "You and Prince Jian, Prince Guo and Prince Dong have the same reactions. In fact, I asked everyone to come together because we all have some cooperative relationships, and it is not that we can't do it alone. Now, since everyone doesn't want to, I don't want to force it. Just like that!... Master Beile, you don't have to feel sorry for anyone. Doing business is what you want!"
"It's good that the princess can think so. This..." Chuntai smiled, took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, put them in front of Mo Jing, and continued, "Just 30,000 taels, please accept it!"
"Master Beile, what do you mean?" Mo Jing glanced at these leading players and looked up at Chuntai and asked.
"Haha, the princess should understand." Chuntai smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's shameful to say that the money was only 3,000 taels. It was sent by the girl Yi'er's personal maid to the palace and handed it to me for me to hand it over to Lord Ma."
"Yiyi?" Mo Jing's heart skipped.
"That's right!" Chuntai nodded, "Before the princess came, the salt wasteland in Anhui had already caused a lot of storm in the city. I don't know where the girl heard the news. So she sent someone to send me the silver notes, saying that I was asking me to send someone to Anhui to solve the urgent problem for Lord Ma! This matter made me realize. He said that since he was a friend, he should help me and ordered me to gather 30,000 taels to send it. Now, since I met the princess, it was the same... The money was not much, and I was just a little bit of a word, so I hope the princess would accept it!"
"..." Mo Jing did not answer Chuntai's words. She just stared at the 50,000 taels of silver notes in a daze.
To be honest, Mo Jing has never had any real feelings for the little girl Hong Fengyi. At most, it is just a superficial "Sister Jing" and "Yiyi" call each other, occasionally meeting each other, and even getting close to each other is not even considered close. At most, it can only be considered not far or near. Now, Hong Fengyi is already married!
The married man was a clan of the royal family, and Mo Jing didn't care much about his name. Moreover, no one came to Hong Fengyi's wedding, but they just sent someone to send some gifts casually. In the past two years, they have never thought of this girl anymore.
But now, I heard that they were in trouble, the little girl actually sent someone to send money.
...
"We are sorry for this girl Yiyi!" Mo Jing sighed.
"What did you say, Princess?" Chuntai asked.
"Nothing!... Master Beile, I want to go and see Yiyi. I wonder if you can send someone to lead a way?" Mo Jing asked.
"Of course this is not a problem." Chuntai nodded and pushed the 30,000 taels of silver bills at Mo Jing, "Prince, you might as well accept these first!"
"Okay!" Mo Jing thought for a while, and pulled out four of the stack of silver notes and put them away. Then, she pushed the remaining silver notes back to Chuntai. "I have accepted all the feelings of Mr. Beile, Yiyi and Prince Kang's mansion. However, although there is some small trouble on Made, it is not a problem. We don't have to raise money everywhere!"
"Girl..." Chuntai was stunned, and was about to speak again, but saw Mo Jing smiled slightly, and then said to him: "If even they could not deal with it, Ma De would have resigned long ago. He is not a person who is incest to power!"
"Mr. Ma has a countermeasure?" Chuntai was stunned again. Faced with the pressure of the salt wasteland, he could not think of any other way. Even if Ma De could buy salt from Liaodong, the distance was long and the cost was high, especially to make salt available in Anhui. This would be a big deal, and it would never be able to raise any governor.
"Of course there is a countermeasure! However, I hope Mr. Beile can sell us another favor and not reveal this matter for the time being. How about it?" Mo Jing asked Chuntai again.
"Ah, of course, of course, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Chuntai said quickly. However, even though he said that, his curiosity had been aroused by Mo Jing's words. Now, he really wanted to take a good look at how Ma De would deal with the salt wasteland.
...
*******
Fuchuan is walking around the overpass!
He is a royal family member and is awarded the title of "first-class auxiliary general".
This title that can kill a large number of titles in the eyes of ordinary people can only be the only one who is too small to be even smaller among the royal family. Among the twelfth-class royal family, the "General of the Assistant State" is the third from the bottom! Fortunately, the Qing court stipulated that after the Duke of the Assistant State was reduced to the first-class general of the Assistant State, as long as the title was inherited by the original branch, it could be inherited. This is the case in Fuchuan, which means that his title will not be reduced again.
Therefore, Fuchuan lived a very stable life, and he did not plan to take another try, because he felt that his life was already good. He was honest, and his annual salary of 800 taels plus 800 shi of rice was enough. He received another pen-style work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was almost done.
However, he did not expect that one day he would be summoned by Kangxi.
Moreover, Kangxi showed his emperor's kindness and even pointed out the adopted daughter of Prince Kang's mansion to him!
This is like a big flame cake falling from the sky!
Although it was just an adopted daughter, this was the emperor's marriage! Moreover, the princess's dowry was very generous, and there were many treasures given by Kangxi. As for others, such as Prince Kang, there were more! In addition, he also brought a large mansion and several farms... When he first got married, he felt that he was so happy that he was dying.
However, this feeling of happiness lasted for only two days!
The first day is the day when we get married; the second day is the day when we get to know each other!
Then, it is pain! Discomfort! Depression!…
Because his bride was given by Kangxi according to the rules of marriage for the royal princess. Although he didn't do much, he had to bring a lot of things like people.
What made him so painful was the Interior Office sent the Princess Jingqi! The Qing court was extremely strict in discipline of the princess, and every princess had a Princess Jingqi responsible for discipline. Even if the princess got married, she had to obey the Princess Jingqi's discipline. Because Princess Jingqi represented the rules.
The Liu nanny he met took away all the power of their family, including financial power, under the banner of "ancestor's rules". Now, even if he drinks a small wine, he can't afford much money! His life is not as good as when he used to be a bachelor.
...
"Fu Chuan, why are you still wandering here?" Just as Fu Chuan was wandering around the overpass with his head muffled, he suddenly got slapped in the head. When he looked up, he found that his brother-in-law Bartu was riding a horse and leaning over and looking at him.
"Oh, Master San Beile!...I'll just go there! What's wrong?" Tokura asked with his hands bowed.
"I'm still walking? My elder brother has already gone to your house! And your wife's elder sister, why don't you go to greet me quickly? Why are you going?" Bartu said.
"My wife's eldest sister?" Tokuma didn't react for a while.
"Of course! Why don't you go quickly? I'll tell you, your sister-in-law is not simple. Her husband has always killed people without blinking. Recently, he just cut off more than 20,000 heads. She is so powerful that she is so honest. Now she is going to see her sister's brother-in-law. If you go too late and make her unhappy, I won't care about the consequences!" Bartu said again.
"What? Then... I'll go home first when I see you..." Tomo Chuan was shocked, and he didn't bother to be polite to Bartu, so he ran back.
Chapter completed!
