Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

As expected, Hui Niang immediately said, "You ask?"

"If your guess is confirmed, what will you, or more precisely, your family do?" Chu Ci asked directly without any hesitation.

"I want to take my daughter back, but her father probably won't agree." When she said this, Hui Niang's face was full of sorrow.

Chu Ci knew that this was the woman's limit. "I understand. Bring your daughter here tomorrow. If you are sure what you said is true, we will go to visit her. What do you think?"

Hui Niang had not expected Chu Ci to be so thoughtful for her daughter, and she burst into tears of gratitude. "Thank you, thank you."

Chu Ci didn't want to get entangled in favors with the other party, "Don't be polite, door-to-door service will cost an additional twenty cents, just prepare the money when the time comes."

However, the more this happened, the more grateful Hui Niang felt. "Yes, yes. I will definitely be ready."

Chu Ci nodded: "Our doctors will be here tomorrow during the day, remember not to arouse the other party's suspicion, ok, you can go back now."

Hui Niang was once again grateful to Chu Ci for his reminder, and then left excitedly.

After Hui Niang left, Yuan Niang also put away her respectful attitude and sat nonchalantly on the other side of the table. "Boss, if you keep doing business like this, we will definitely lose a lot of money, right?"

Chu Ci rolled his eyes when he heard this. "If you don't understand my intention, why are you cooperating so actively? Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Niang chuckled, her originally dignified and generous temperament was gone, and she even looked a little vulgar. "It's nothing, some customers just asked if I sell erotic pictures, and I thought, hey, boss, you know what I'm doing."

Chu Ci lived in an era of information explosion in his previous life, so he naturally had no prejudice against erotic paintings. "Go ahead and paint them. Well, you have to pay attention to the delicate expression of emotions, and they must be printed in color."

Sure enough, Yuanniang's eyes sparkled, "Sure enough, the boss knows how to have fun. Okay, I'll do it right away."

However, just as Yuanniang was about to leave, Chu Ci stopped her and said, "Go and select a few people with good character and medical skills to serve as honorary doctors for our 'pre-marital training'."

Upon hearing this, Yuanniang couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, your business is getting bigger and bigger. Are you sure you have enough money?"

"Yuan Niang, you are underestimating your wife." Chu Ci said as he straightened his back.

Apart from the huge profits that the medicinal wine will bring, Hu Ziyan has already made the South Pearl famous in Beijing. Today, South Pearl is hard to come by.

"Your boss has plenty of money. So, Yuanniang, just follow me and be at ease!"

Yuanniang was even more curious now, "Madam, how about you reveal a little bit, so that a layman like me can feel at ease."

Chu Ci smiled mysteriously and asked, "Yuan Niang, have you ever heard of the name of Nanzhu?"

"Southern pearls? Pearls of the same quality as Northern pearls?" Yuanniang reacted quickly and guessed it almost exactly in the blink of an eye.

Chu Ci nodded proudly, "What if I told you that I can not only find them, but also breed them on a large scale, what do you think?"

Yuanniang didn't dare to say anything at this moment. She just hated herself for being so talkative.

Yuanniang quickly stood up, closed the doors and windows, and then asked Chu Ci: "Boss, you didn't tell anyone about such an important matter, did you?"

Chu Ci: "Do I look stupid? You're the one who kept asking me. Who was I talking about?"

Yuan Niang was indeed in the wrong this time, but she was really just curious! "I'm sorry, I will try to be less talkative in the future."

Chu Ci laughed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yuanniang, who was always open-minded, would be so nervous. "Yuanniang, how do you think the value of movable type printing compares to Nanzhu?"

Yuan Niang was stunned when she heard this, but Chu Ci continued, "How about comparing it to potatoes?"

Yuanniang's expression was indescribable. "Not worth mentioning."

"So, just be calm and at ease. As long as I am still valuable, the old emperor will not let anyone touch me. What's more, we have Grandpa Chu, Great Grandpa, and your help." Chu Ci was quite open-minded about this.

It was really hard to evaluate this statement. Yuanniang tried to adjust herself and forced a stiff smile. "Boss, you are really great."

Chu Ci knew that Yuanniang was not praising her, but she insisted on taking it as a compliment. "Isn't this natural?"

Yuanniang really couldn't help it, and just when she was about to start to scold someone.

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

"Madam, are you in there?" It was Fan Jingrui who came over.

Yuanniang was startled at once, and quickly walked to the door and opened it. "Yes, yes. The boss is inside. Please come in, young master!"

Fan Jingrui nodded in thanks and walked into the room without saying a word. "Madam, Senior Dugu and Uncle Tianji are here."

"Why would Uncle Tianji come to Lianzhou? Did he go to Yazhou and then rush here?" Chu Ci was happy but more confused when he heard the long-awaited news.

Fan Jingrui did not hide it: "It was Grandpa. He thought you might need Uncle Tianji's help, so he sent a letter to Uncle Shi."

Chu Ci sighed in her heart. Sure enough, Master Fan did not waste his time in the court. Then, she did not want to delay for a moment: "Let's go back."

Yuanniang: Does this mean she has escaped a disaster?

Patting her chest, Yuanniang completed the task assigned by Chu Ci as quickly as possible.

Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui returned to the yard as quickly as possible. Gu Dulie and Duan Tianji had been waiting in Chu Ci's yard for a long time.

Both parties were people who did not like hypocritical courtesy, so after a few simple greetings, they went straight to the point.

"Senior Gu Du, Uncle Tian Ji. You came just in time. I just need Uncle Tian Ji's connections."

Chu Ci didn't say anything polite. Duan Tianji was already grateful to Chu Ci, so he said directly, "What do you need me to do?"

Seeing that Chu Ci didn't mention him, Gu Dulie said, "Don't underestimate an old man like me. I, Dugu Lie, still have some connections."

What a lovely old man! If Chu Ci was polite now, he might think that he looked down on him! Chu Ci suppressed his smile and immediately asked, "Does Senior Gu Du have any connections in the army?"

Chu Ci had just asked casually, but he didn't expect the old man to throw out a big one as soon as he opened his mouth. "Yes, General Yuan Xu, the East Guardian, is okay?"

"Sure." Chu Ci responded, and then continued: "Senior Dugu, Uncle Tianji, I have an item that can reduce the chance of wound infection, and I also have potatoes. I can also give them some first. Can you two help ask them if they are willing to trade with me?"
