Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

"So what does the court plan to do?" Mu Qing asked nervously. They weren't going to delay it, were they?

If that happens, a lot of people will die, and there might even be a public uprising. By then, it will be too late to remedy the situation even if we want to.

After all, in the novel, the reason why the male and female protagonists were able to solve the snowstorm was because they killed Qin Yu and diverted the hatred of the refugees. Then they confiscated the house and used the time difference to make up the disaster relief silver, which did not cause any major consequences.

As for now, Mu Qing would never watch Qin Yu die. Before, he had solved the problem of the southern dam, and Qin Yu was not rejected by the emperor. He was still the leader of the Jinyiwei trusted by the emperor. Therefore, as long as Qin Yu followed the rules and did not do anything out of line, he would not be held responsible for the snowstorm.

This time, there is no Qin Yu to take the blame, and there are no hundreds of thousands of taels of silver seized from the Qin family. Even if the male and female protagonists are very powerful, it may not be so easy to solve the snow disaster.

If it is delayed any further, it might really lead to a chaotic situation in which the people are filled with resentment and the government forces the people to rebel.

"The emperor wants to confiscate our property." Qin Yu had a smile in his eyes. He had disliked that group of good-for-nothings for a long time. Now that the emperor finally thought of getting rid of them, it was worth it for all the things he had collected before.

Mu Qing looked at Qin Yu in surprise. Neither of them spoke and the air became quiet for a moment.

Mu Qing didn't expect the emperor to be so bold and to confiscate the property as he said. Moreover, the snowstorm hadn't caused much harm yet, but he had already thought of this. It can be seen that the emperor is not a weak and incompetent person. On the contrary, he is very capable and smart.

After a while, Qin Yu continued speaking. As he spoke, he picked up the scroll on his desk and gave it to Mu Qing.

"Although it is a confiscation of property, it still needs to be carefully considered. The emperor's decree is that it is best to target corrupt officials who are extremely wealthy, so that they can make the best use of their wealth.

Although we have the information of hundreds of officials, it is still a bit troublesome to find people who meet the emperor's requirements. Either they are not greedy enough to warrant confiscation of property, or they are greedy enough but the officials protect each other, so it is difficult to take action for the time being.

We have been busy with this recently, Qingqing, why don’t you help take a look, we haven’t decided who to choose yet! "

"Okay." Mu Qing nodded, took a scroll and started reading it.

The governor of Kyoto, 42 years old, was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Anping...

General Anton, 34 years old, joined the army at the age of 17...

Guanglu Dafu, 29 years old, Jinshi in the 13th year of Anping...

Mu Qing was flipping through the files carefully when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I think this Minister of Rites Wang Renmei is feasible. Although his rank is not high, he has relied on the fact that he is a distant relative of the Minister of Personnel and has accepted bribes over the years. And I heard that he has recently occupied several houses, causing complaints from the people. We can start with him first."

Qin Yu nodded slightly, and things about Wang Renmei instantly emerged in his mind.

"Well, the Minister of Rites is indeed a good choice, but if it's just him, the money is still a little insufficient. It would be better to find a few more so that the emperor can have a choice when the time comes."

Mu Qing nodded and handed over the other scroll in his hand.

"So what do you think of this guy? Although he didn't kill anyone, he's still a corrupt official. Most importantly, his family is quite wealthy."

"The Secretary of the Central Secretariat is indeed very rich, but he is from an aristocratic family. Although he is only a branch of the family, if you touch him, it is very likely that the aristocratic family will stop you." Qin Yu tapped the scroll with his fingers, thought for a few seconds, and called a Jinyiwei, "Check the Secretary of the Central Secretariat carefully to see if there is anything suspicious about him. It would be best to check if he has any collusion with the aristocratic family or other officials."

"Yes!"

Looking at Qin Yu giving orders, Mu Qing's eyes were full of smiles. He looked at him with sharp eyes, which were full of admiration and love.

Qin Yu turned around and saw his eyes. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but then looked back and covered Mu Qing's eyes with his hands.

"Don't look at it like that." A little hot.

Mu Qing's smile deepened. He reached out and pulled down Qin Yu's hand, then kissed it gently. The soft and hot touch made Qin Yu blush and his heart beat fast, and he suddenly pulled his hand back.

Seeing Mu Qing's smiling face, Qin Yu gritted his teeth, curled his lips slightly, grabbed Mu Qing, and wanted to kiss her, but what he touched was a cold book.

When Qin Yu opened his eyes, he found a book lying between him and Mu Qing, and behind the book were Mu Qing's bright and attractive eyes.

"Sir, this is the Pacification Office!" Mu Qing said with a smile, his voice full of ridicule.

Seeing the unhappiness in Qin Yu's eyes, Mu Qing stood on tiptoe and kissed Qin Yu.

"Stop making a fuss and deal with business quickly! We still have a lot of time." Mu Qing comforted.

"Okay." Qin Yu sighed and looked at Mu Qing helplessly, knowing that he was just teasing him.

……

After packing up her things, Xia Yimei looked at the empty house and couldn't help but feel itchy.

When she was in the countryside, she decorated her house very beautifully. Although she didn't have much money, the yard was full of flowers. There was no shortage of all kinds of things in the house, even a vase.

Later, we moved to the town and opened a shop. The house became even more beautiful, with all kinds of decorations and ornaments, such as calligraphy and paintings, vases, bonsai, rocking chairs... nothing was missing.

Unexpectedly, after moving to the capital, the house was not as good as the previous one. Although the house was big now, every room was empty. Except for the bed and the tables, chairs and benches, there was nothing else. Even the teacups were brought by themselves.

"Sister, this house is too empty." Xia Siju walked in from outside and yelled.

"It's the same. This house has probably never been lived in before, so nothing has been prepared." Xia Yimei sat in the room feeling helpless. On the one hand, the journey was long, and on the other hand, she wondered what was there in Beijing?

So they didn't bring too many things with them, and when they got here they found that there was nothing in the house except a place to live.

"Although it's a bit empty, I have finally put down all my books. Sister, I plan to buy some more books. My books don't even fill up one layer of the bookcase." Xia Youzhu said.

"Okay, studying is a good thing. I'll get you some silver. By the way, you don't have anything to do right now, so why don't you go buy it directly? I'll get you some silver and see if there's anything you need. You can buy it back later." Xia Yimei nodded, and seeing Xia Shuanglan coming over, she took out three silver bills from her body and handed one to each of the three of them.

"Okay, but isn't one hundred taels a bit too little, sister? I plan to buy some jewelry, and this little money probably can't buy anything else." Xia Siju looked at the 100 taels of silver note in her hand and said with a pout.

"100 taels is fine for buying silver, but as for the others, it will take a while, at least until I build up my business. The rest of the money is my capital." Xia Yimei glanced at Xia Siju, then shook her head.

"Okay!" Xia Siju was a little reluctant, but still agreed.

Xia Youzhu, who was standing by, didn't say anything when he saw this. He just nodded and took Xia Siju out.

"Sister, do you want me to bring something back for you?" Xia Shuanglan asked gently.

"No, I'll go out shopping with my husband when he comes back. I haven't decided what to buy yet.

Second sister, take a look for yourself and buy something you want!" Xia Yimei's tone became better when facing the plainly dressed Xia Shuanglan. Looking at her rough, calloused hands, she sighed silently in her heart.

She is indeed a person who gets bullied. They are sisters, but she does whatever Xia Siju asks her to do. She is a good second sister, but she has become almost like a maid. It is really impossible to save her.

"Well, thank you, big sister. I'll go first." Xia Shuanglan nodded, her eyes full of gratitude. 100 taels of silver was enough for her to spend for a long time.

……

In the carriage, Xia Yimei and Xu Zhouzhong were talking and laughing. Suddenly, Xia Yimei seemed to see something interesting and pointed out the window for Xu Zhouzhong to look.

Xu Zhouzhong looked in the direction of her finger and saw a vendor selling all kinds of strange little gadgets.

"Stop the car!" Xia Yimei shouted excitedly.

Xu Zhouzhong smiled helplessly and asked the driver to stop the car.

The two men got out of the car and walked up to the vendor.

Looking at all the weird things on the stall, Xia Yimei picked up an exquisite wooden hairpin, and while gesturing on her head, she asked Xuzhou if it looked good.

"Not bad, but I think this plum blossom hairpin suits you better." Xuzhou looked at the hairpin on Xia Yimei's head again and nodded, then picked up a silver hairpin beside him and inserted it into Xia Yimei's head.

"It looks very nice." Xu Zhouzhong nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that his taste was good. Yimei was indeed very suitable for this exquisite silver hairpin.

"I still prefer this wooden hairpin." Xia Yimei touched the silver hairpin on her head with a smile on her face.

"Since you like them, buy both. See if there is anything else you like?" Xu Zhouzhong said generously.

"Yeah." Xia Yimei nodded, and started picking and choosing at the stall again. Finally, she chose two hairpins, a few sachets, and a few small pendants before leaving.

After the two walked a little further away, Xu Zhouzhong asked curiously.

"Is there anything different about the things we just bought?"

"Yes, those things just now are indeed very useful." Xia Yimei nodded excitedly, her eyes full of eagerness.

She didn't expect that she would find such a good thing, cotton, just by strolling around casually!

The carving on the hairpin turned out to be cotton! The most important thing was that there were cotton seeds in the sachets. She didn't expect that she could find them so easily and buy them!

Xia Yimei briefly explained the function of cotton, and Xu Zhouzhong's originally calm eyes couldn't help but become eager. He didn't expect that something that looked so ordinary just now could have such a great effect!

That ordinary flower could actually help people avoid the cold. If someone else had told him this, he would definitely not believe it. But now that the person who told him this was Xia Yimei, he had no choice but to believe it.

Xu Zhouzhong hugged Xia Yimei excitedly.

"Yimei, that's great, you really are my lucky star!"

With cotton, let alone going home to recognize his relatives, even if he wants to be the crown prince, the emperor will definitely agree!

Xu Zhouzhong kissed Xia Yimei excitedly, spouting sweet words and vows of love as if they were free.

"Men's words are full of lies." Xia Yimei cursed with a smile, but her face was already red and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

After the two calmed down, Xia Yimei thought for a moment and said.

"Originally I was thinking about making something else, but now that I have cotton, I might as well just make clothes!"

"Don't worry about cotton yet." Xu Zhouzhong stretched out his hand to stop Xia Yimei from saying anything. Facing Xia Yimei's puzzled look, Xu Zhouzhong explained, "This cotton is still in seeds. By the time it grows, the snowstorm will probably be over. Besides, it's not the time to plant cotton in the middle of winter. It's better to look at other things first and wait until the New Year to plant cotton."

Xia Yimei nodded. She was too impatient. By the time the cotton was planted, the weather would have been warm. Even if the cotton was useful by then, she had to keep it.

"In that case, I'd better make drinks! It's so cold now, it's always good to drink something hot. Do you want to sell tea or pastries?" Xia Yimei asked. If they sell tea, they need to make milk tea, which requires a lot of milk and tea leaves.

Tea is easy, and she can afford sugar, but she has to think of a way to get milk. After all, she doesn't want just a little bit, but dozens or even hundreds of kilograms a day.

Making cakes was easier, and she remembered some suitable winter foods, such as fried cakes and twisted dough sticks, which were sweet and hot. They were crispy on the outside and filled with sweet red beans or cream. One bite would make you gain a pound, so they were very high in calories.

In addition to these, you can also sell hot pot, skewers and the like. I just don't know if there is such a thing as hot pot here? I didn't pay attention to it before, I have to ask in a few days. If there is no such thing, this is a big business.

"Both are good. Instead of selling them separately, we might as well sell them together. We are not short of money now, so we can afford the expenses." Xu Zhou thought for a while and said.

"You can try, but some things are better bought separately because they have strong smells and are easy to mix flavors." Xia Yimei nodded and thought about how to run the business in the future.

"It's still early, why don't we continue shopping? Didn't you say that there are too few things in the house?" Xu Zhou said after looking outside again.

"Well, I didn't take a lot of the things I was used to this time, and the house always felt empty."
