Kaden raised his legs and entered the living room. When he saw Lionel Liang's useless appearance, he became angry. He kicked Lionel Liang and said, "You slave who can't speak, get out of here."
The kick was not painful, and he knew that the emperor was not angry but came to rescue him. Lionel Liang quickly retreated.
Seeing the way their master and servant got along, Harper Shi was puzzled. One had no identity, but the master's posture was very good.
A purchased guard with too strong a servile mentality.
She didn't know what to say. She just wanted to say that she just couldn't stand people who lied, and she wasn't really angry.
Forget it, Harper Shi didn't understand their affairs and didn't intend to care about it. She felt it necessary to find out how much monthly interest Kaden paid to his guards?
"How much monthly interest do you give him?"
"Didn't he say it? One tael of silver."
"You can hire a guard for just one tael of silver?"
"He is just an orphan. He has food, drink and a place to live. Even a tael of silver feels like a lot."
Harper Shi said "Oh" and felt that one tael of silver was acceptable.
Turning his head to look at the pile of mutton and the large bowl of mutton soup on the table, Harper Shi thought, this guard spends money lavishly, no matter how much money he has, it will never be enough for him to squander!
Even if it's his own money, what if he runs out of money and decides to target his family?
He is a member of Kaden. Harper Shi does not intend to express any more opinions. It is better to observe more in the future.
Looking at so much mutton, Harper Shi asked in some difficulty: "There are only a few people eating, and he bought so much. It looks like the amount is at least a whole sheep. How can they finish it?"
"This sheep was bought with the silver from Guard Xiaojiu. I just took him twenty taels of silver. I have to find all the money to replenish him." After saying this, Harper Shi turned around and wanted to go find Lionel Liang.
Kaden took Harper Shi's hand and refused to let her go, "No, it's just a hundred taels of silver. I gave him a lot in the past. He won't care about a hundred taels of silver. If he can't finish the mutton, he can save it for the next day." Eat slowly."
All right! Although she didn't know how much Kaden gave Xiao Jiu, the one hundred taels of silver that could make Xiao Jiu not care must be much more than the one hundred taels of silver.
Thinking about it, Harper Shi felt heartbroken.
But she can't take back what she gave out, so what can she do?
I can only tell Kaden to be tighter in the future, as he still has to save money to support his family.
Harper Shi was also hungry at this time. She went to the kitchen and took out the bowls, chopsticks and food box, put some soup and mutton into the food box, and separated some soup and mutton separately for Lionel Liang.
After the distribution was completed, she took the food box and went to the house next door first.
"You sit down and eat first. I'll take this to my aunt next door and then come back. I'll call escort Xiaojiu in later and ask him to take his portion to eat."
"Yeah, I understand. Slow down on the road."
After everyone left, Kaden called Lionel Liang in.
After Lionel Liang came in, he knelt down to Kaden and said, "Third Master."
"What's wrong with you? I asked you to spend one or two silver coins to buy mutton soup steamed buns? What did you buy so much mutton for? Do you want to tell my wife that I am not the Huang San they call the merchant?"
"No, this servant is worried about you..."
"Why worry? If Madam can eat, I can eat too. Next time, you don't have to stay with me."
"Yes!" Lionel Liang lowered his head and replied.
"Also, where is your usual cleverness? Can't you even answer the lady's questions?"
"Madam is too powerful and asks too many questions. I can't think of a good reason at the moment."
Counting the time, Harper Shi should be back soon and said: "Next time, you have to think carefully. If you ruin my good deeds, I will serve you with a stick."
"twitter!"
Kaden waved his hand and asked people to leave first.
Lionel Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly got up and walked out the door.
"Come back and bring your portion to eat. Don't be an eyesore here." Seeing that Lionel Liang's portion of mutton and soup had not been taken away from the table, Kaden asked someone to come back and take it away.
"Don't forget what I told you."
"yes!"
After Lionel Liang left, a secret guard came to Kaden, knelt on one knee, and reported something in a low voice.
After hearing this, Kaden frowned and waved his hand to let people leave.
As soon as Harper Shi came back, she saw something flashing past Kaden. She walked into the living room in confusion and walked back and forth to watch.
When Kaden saw Harper Shi like this, his eyes flashed slightly and he asked with a smile: "What are you looking for when you come back?"
Harper Shi said with some confusion: "When I came in just now, I seemed to see something flashing past you, but I searched around and found nothing."
"What could be there? Why didn't I see it? You must be so hungry that your eyesight is dazzled. Sit down and eat."
"Am I really dazzled?"
Thinking this, Harper Shi began to wonder if she was too hungry, so she no longer hesitated and sat next to Kaden to eat mutton.
This was the first mutton she had eaten in ancient times. It was natural and pollution-free mutton. It was moderately fat and lean. It tasted better than modern mutton. It was expensive but also expensive. Harper Shi fell in love with it after one bite.
Seeing that Harper Shi was enjoying her meal, Kaden ate a little more, which was a rare occurrence for him. Although the mutton was not as delicious as the one cooked by the imperial chef in the palace, sitting next to Harper Shi, the slightly inferior mutton also tasted unusually delicious.
After the meal, Harper Shi put the uneaten mutton and soup into wooden barrels and hung them in the well with ropes to keep them in place so that they could eat for a few more days.
Seeing Kang Xi who was absent-minded after the meal, Harper Shi asked worriedly: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you always absent-minded?"
"It's nothing, just a little thing."
Seeing Harper Shi put the mutton away, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that the mutton will fall if you put it in the well like this?"
"Don't be afraid, there is a rope hanging on it."
Here, Aunt Zoe came over holding a small jar in her hand.
Seeing Kaden and Harper Shi in the yard, they didn't knock on the door.
He shouted directly: "Sanlang, Yingzi, they are all here."
"Well, Auntie, why are you here? Come inside and sit down, and I'll bring you a bowl of sugar water." Harper Shi called people into the house, and then went to the kitchen to bring water.
Aunt Zoe stretched out her hand to hold her back: "No, I'm here to thank you for the mutton you gave me just now. Qi Ming is so full from eating it."
"Why should you be so polite? You help me a lot every day. It's just some mutton, nothing." Harper Shi said.
"That's mutton, and you gave me more than a pound, which is worth a lot of copper coins. I received your gratitude. I will give you something good next time! Just keep it for yourself."
"Auntie is here this time. It was your sister-in-law who brought back the sap you asked for from her parents' house. I thought the sooner you could use it on your face, the better, so I brought it to you."
Kaden on the side asked: "What kind of sap? What is the use of Xi'er coming?"
Hearing this, Aunt Zoe opened the lid of the jar in her hand, handed it to Kaden and said, "This is tree sap that can change skin color. Things will break if left for a long time, so your sister-in-law only filled half of the jar."
Harper Shi also stretched her head to take a look. Seeing that there was a lot, she said, "These are enough. I can ask my sister-in-law for the next time I need it."
"Okay, if you need anything, just ask your sister-in-law."
Kaden asked doubtfully: "Xi'er, do you want to use this sap to change your skin color?"
"Yes! I have to cover my face before I go out, otherwise it will easily bring disaster to my family."
"I'm not afraid!" Kaden blurted out. When did his woman need to cover her appearance to avoid disaster?
He is the emperor, the most noble emperor in the world. He can't even protect his own woman. How can he be qualified to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
Is he shameless?
Harper Shi said angrily: "Our family has no power and no power. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, the matter of the young master of Luo Yuan's wife's family has not been resolved yet. What if he brings someone to the house to cause trouble someday?"
Aunt Zoe also echoed: "That's right! People like us can't afford to offend those officials, so it's better to cover it up."
"Don't worry, isn't Mr. Luo just taking advantage of his father's official position to do evil everywhere? I will let them know soon that not everyone can be provoked."
When Kaden said this, he unconsciously exuded an aura of majesty, and his eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at him.
The anger in his foreign language can be clearly understood by anyone who knows how angry he is at this moment.
The two men looked at Kaden with a dazed look in their eyes, thinking that Kaden could really make Landon Luo pay the price.
But after the trance, when they came back to their senses, they all felt that Kaden was powerless, and their current anger was just incompetent rage.
Only Lionel Liang, who was standing in the corner not far away and had been serving as the backdrop, knew that Luo Yuanwai's family had come to an end.
Who made them provoke someone they shouldn't provoke!
"Sanlang, don't be impulsive! This is not an ordinary family, so let's not use eggs to beat other people's rocks." Aunt Zoe persuaded her earnestly.
Harper Shi also nodded worriedly.
Seeing them all looking at him with disbelief, Kaden took a deep breath and said extremely seriously: "You have to believe me. In a few days, there will be results from the Luo family."
Seeing this, Harper Shi was a little worried, but it was hard to say anything.
Only Aunt Zoe seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked: "You have met a lot of people outside. Seeing that you are so sure of what you said, have you asked for help?"
Kaden...
Great, perfect reason.
Seeing Kaden nod, Aunt Zoe asked anxiously, "It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"
Hearing this, Kaden's expression froze, and his mind was quickly calculating, how much money would it take to win over a non-staff fifth-grade official?
Lionel Liang quickly stepped forward at the right time and whispered back: "Eighty thousand taels of silver."
Kaden gave Lionel Liang an approving look, and Lionel Liang happily accepted it and retreated to the corner.
I praise myself in my heart, what a clever guy!
"What!" Aunt Zoe exclaimed loudly, and the jar in her hand fell to the ground, not caring that the juice in the jar flowed out.
She lowered her voice and confirmed again: "Eighty thousand taels of silver?"
Kaden nodded.
At this moment, Aunt Zoe collapsed to the ground, and the juice on the ground stained her clothes. But she had no time to care about her clothes. At this moment, her mind and eyes were filled with 80,000 taels of silver.
Harper Shi asked: "Do you have any money to give?"
"Wrote an IOU."
"Aren't you always at home? How did you do that?"
"Xiao Jiu made two more trips and it was done."
Harper Shi...
When she heard the answer, her first feeling was not gratitude, but anger and regret. She regretted being bewitched by his noble temperament and handsome appearance and completely ignoring his inner qualities.
She really wanted to scold him now and call him stupid.
I also want to ask him how he has been doing these past few years? He has no brains at all.
If their family had these 80,000 taels of silver and they fled the capital with the money, where would they not be able to live comfortably?
Why use money to hire others to punish Luo Yuanwai? If Luo Yuanwai falls, what benefits will it bring to them?
Apart from solving the trouble, it does not bring any benefits, so the money is not cost-effective at all.
Harper Shi was so angry that she didn't even look at Kaden. She knelt down and reached out to help Aunt Zoe, but Aunt Zoe didn't want to get up. She was crying and shouting: "Oh my god! Eighty thousand taels of silver! I sold Yingzijia." Our whole family can't raise eighty thousand taels of silver!"
"Aunt~" Seeing Aunt Zoe like this made Harper Shi feel uncomfortable. .
Seeing the huge reaction of the two of them, Kaden also knew something was wrong. He glared at Lionel Liang in the corner and said, "Wait for me!"
Lionel Liang...
Want to cry!
At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.
"Let you talk more! Let you talk more!"
But he didn't dare to say it too small!
The emperor's angry look means that Luo Yuanwai will at least lose his official position, and may even go to jail.
A few thousand or a few hundred taels can put a fifth-grade officer in jail. If you tell me, who would believe it?
Alas~
It’s so difficult!
Just getting married, Harper Shi didn't want to lose her temper with Kaden, and the IOU had already been written, so it was useless to say anything. She could only pretend to be weak and ask: "Husband, am I a prodigal?"
Kaden held the man in his arms distressedly, "No, you have to believe in your husband's ability."
"As long as the person is fine, it's worth spending any amount of money."
Harper Shi...
"In the past few years, I have also established a caravan. As long as they continue to do business, we will have a steady stream of money coming into our account, and the money we owe can always be repaid."
Seeing that Harper Shi and Aunt Zoe's expressions had eased a little, Kaden said again: "My caravan has grown to a certain size, and I should be able to see the silver soon. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to agree to give them 80,000 taels of silver, right?"
Seeing Harper Shi nodding, Kaden let go of the person and helped Aunt Zoe up on the ground without being too dirty. Seeing this, Lionel Liang came over to help her, but Kaden's smart eye dagger swept her away.
Aunt Zoe stood up, thinking that the IOU had already been written, and she could only hope that the money would really be useful. She sighed and said, "That's all, you just have an idea."
"It's just Saburo! Are you going to do business again?"
As she spoke, Aunt Zoe looked at Kaden with a distressed look and said, "Poor child, you have been working hard outside for several years and finally came back. You have not even had a few days to rest and you have to go out to do business again."
Poor Kaden...
Very good, just thinking about how to escape and return to the palace today, I have another ready-made reason!
"It's okay, auntie. For Xi'er and this family, everything I do is worth it."
"I believe there is no problem that money cannot solve. If it cannot be solved, there is not enough money."
"So Xi'er doesn't have to go to such trouble to cover up her appearance. I, Huang San's woman, don't have to be afraid of anyone!"
Seeing Kaden's confident look, Aunt Zoe opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just sighed and said nothing.
Harper Shi was speechless after hearing what Kaden said. He thought to himself, when you say this, can you hold a few million taels of silver in your hand before you say it?
Would you die if you were not so confident?
what to do? She began to regret the marriage.
The imperial power is supreme here, let alone you have no money, no matter how rich you are, no matter how much money you have, you will still be afraid of powerful people!
Harper Shi wanted Kaden to face reality, so he said: "Aren't you afraid that I will cause endless trouble? You know, there are always higher mountains than mountains. What if you meet an official who is not afraid of your wealth?"
Harper Shi cried when she saw that Kaden still didn't take it seriously and looked like he was the boss of heaven, the second boss of earth, and he was the third boss.
Tears of regret were left.
Kaden thought the little woman was scared, so he held her in his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid. With me here, even if you are the emperor, you don't have to worry that he will hurt you."
Aunt Zoe...
Harper Shi...
It’s over, I’m even more scared, what should I do?
Lionel Liang in the corner wanted to roll his eyes.
"You are the emperor, you have said so, who can hurt my wife?"
"The most arrogant and domineering Obai, the grass on his grave is now three inches high."
