Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Su Rutang smiled lightly, "This is just my humble opinion. Besides, you should have discussed it before. You should have raised the same opinion before discussing it."

She also soaked corpses and animal carcasses in sewage, mixed with feces from the pit, and it was said that this would eventually lead to a plague.

Shang Yan's eyes were cold and gloomy.

"Mrs. Zhou, be careful about what you say. I will pretend that I didn't hear that."

Huo Mi is a rough guy.

Hearing this, his brows furrowed, "Sir, don't say that Madam Zhou's words are unpleasant to the ears, she is telling the truth.

After the flood, people and animals died. It was easy to get an epidemic. At that time, not to mention that keeping silver was useless, even if the royal family was not doing well, it would be spread..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

His mouth was covered by Yao Tongzhi.

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Huo Mi glared.

Shang Yan stroked the purse in his hand calmly, "What Madam Zhou said makes sense. Last year, there was a severe drought in the southwest, and three provinces in the northeast suffered from floods.

There are several wars in Mobei and the southeast. If it weren't for the emperor's sincerity that moved the heavens, this year would have been even more difficult."

Where does the emperor's sincerity come from?

Everyone knew that what he said was flattering.

Regardless of whether they agreed or not, everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

Shang Yan pushed the account book on the desk.

"The national treasury is in a difficult situation, how can we dare to allocate more funds? It's all because of the Ministry of Industry's incompetence, and those who should be punished have not been punished yet."

Su Rutang knew in his heart that Shang Yan was going to take action against the Ministry of Industry.

"According to Commander Shang's opinion?"

"Hmph, according to my opinion, you can't pay any more money. If this matter is not sorted out, neither I nor the Censorate will let it go. Why don't the officials of the Ministry of Works spit out the money?"

Su Rutang said nothing.

She knew that people from the Ministry of Works did share some of the silver.

She also falsified accounts to fill in the account books. In her previous life, it was she who paid the dowry money.

She did not meet Shang Yan at that time.

Yao Tongzhi saw that she looked unhappy, so he explained a few words. "Madam Zhou, our masters did not intend to make things difficult for the Ministry of Works, but the problem is that the Ministry of Works took the funds but did not do anything.

Next is the spring ploughing season for the farmers, which requires real money.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and no one dares to be careless. This is the most important thing for the Great Zhou Dynasty. We can't let the Ministry of Revenue transfer money from other places because the Ministry of Works is derelict in its duties?

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that the Ministry of Revenue still owes military pay to General Su of Mobei. General Su returned to Beijing this time because he was summoned by the emperor and also to ask for military pay.”

Su Rutang naturally would not plead for mercy.

It is the Ministry of Industry's responsibility, so naturally they should bear it.

"I am not here for the silver."

"Why?"

Su Rutang paused for a moment, "For the sake of the people of the capital. I was buried in Wuyin Tower yesterday. After I came out, I asked around. There were stray cats, dogs and beggars dead in the lower depression. I heard they had been soaking for a few days."

"This is not winter. Spring is the most prone to mosquitoes and diseases."

Shang Yan looked at her.

His expression changed involuntarily.

This matter could be big or small. If it is really as Su Rutang said, then...

"Huo Mi. Take some people to check. Clear away all the bodies and burn them."

As soon as Shang Yan finished speaking, Huo Mi stood up and picked up the raincoat beside him.

"Subordinate, go right away."

Su Rutang took out a prescription from her sleeve. "This is a prescription for preventing plague, developed by Doctor Ke. Doctor Ke gave my grandfather a prescription, and I copied it."

She took another 1,000 taels of silver.

"Grandfather asked me to give a thousand taels of silver to Commander Shang as a token of appreciation from my Su family."

Shang Yan glanced at the prescription and banknotes indifferently, with a hint of sneer on his lips.

"It's the Su Mansion. Not the Zhou Mansion?"

“Given by my grandfather, it’s naturally the Su Mansion.”

Su Rutang let him look at her calmly.

"Okay. I'll accept it on behalf of the people in Xiawa. But... Madam Zhou, I'm afraid the Zhou Mansion needs to raise some money."

Su Rutang stood up.

"I will tell my husband what you said. But the people who occupied the canal should be punished. You should ask them to contribute money and labor to clear the canal as soon as possible."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly.

"My wife, please retire."

"No delivery."

Shang Yan's deep eyes fell on her face, and then looked away in just a moment.

His left hand was always stroking the purse in his hand.

After Su Rutang left.

He opened his palms.

The purse lay there quietly, with the stitches on it being crude and varied. Shang Yan put the purse into the purse he carried with him.

After Su Rutang went out.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The oppressive feeling from Shangyan was too strong.

She always had the illusion that the embroidered spring sword next to him might stab her in the neck at any time.

Touching my neck, the sweat on my palms was blown away by the wind.

"Second Grandma."

Chunxi stepped forward to support Su Rutang, "Let's go back?"

"Ah."

*

Zhou Chengru threw away anything he could get his hands on.

"The corrupt officials are in power. The emperor did not ask our Ministry of Works to bear the cost of this money." He panted angrily, "A bunch of greedy guys want to make a fortune by taking advantage of the flood."

Su Rutang smiled lightly.

"He's right. The Ministry of Industry took the money but didn't do anything."

Zhou Chengru was speechless for a moment.

He said angrily:

"Are you speaking for that treacherous villain?"

"It's not about helping. It's about the Ministry of Works being in the wrong, and the Minister doesn't need that little bit of money. The Emperor thought about him as a relative of the Queen Mother, so he would at most reprimand him a few words."

"If you don't give it to me, not only the Imperial Guards, but even the officials in the Censorate will not let it go."

Having said that, Su Rutang shut up.

Zhou Chengru felt uncomfortable because he knew it.

He sighed.

"Give it to me. How much silver do you want?"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Ministry of Revenue haven't sent the bill yet." Su Rutang said softly.

As she spoke, she picked up the incense sticks from Zhou Chengru's room and put them into the double-lion three-legged incense burner in front of him.

A small, barely noticeable piece of scent fell from her sleeve.

Zhou Chengru's face was filled with anger. "You go first. You have worked hard in the mansion."

"Sister Yu, if she learns how to manage household affairs and gains a few more months of experience, she will be able to get married." Su Rutang sighed slightly: "If she finds a good marriage, I, as a mother, will also be happy."

Su Rutang turned around and walked out without waiting for him to say anything sentimental.

Don't you care about his wounds at all?

Zhou Chengru was depressed.

She knew that the mansion was in temporary difficulties, but she was not sensible at all. Shouldn't she give him 300,000 or 50,000 taels of silver notes first?

Thinking of this, my heart became even more blocked.

Murong Feiyue, wearing a close-fitting colored jacket and skirt, came in from behind.

She had a simple bun with a pear blossom hairpin in it. She sat in front of Zhou Chengru's bed, holding his hands tightly.

"Second brother."

"Sister-in-law." Zhou Chengru saw Murong Feiyue's red eyes, and the worried look in her eyes made his heart tremble for no reason.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I overheard your conversation just now." Murong Feiyue lowered her head, "I didn't mean to do that, I just cared too much about your safety."

"If anything happens to you, I...I will not live."

She couldn't help but lie on Zhou Chengru's body, sobbing softly.

How broken it is to see a beautiful woman crying.

Zhou Chengru's heart melted.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will be fine." Zhou Chengru thought of that person. He also had a trump card if necessary.

"Second brother, can you ask your second brother's wife to fill in the gap with her dowry?"

After saying this, she seemed very regretful.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I were born into a wealthy family... I would give you as much money as I can..."

"I just hate that I was born in an inconspicuous family."

"Unlike my second brother and his wife, any gifts they receive would be enough for my family to live on for a lifetime."

She bit her lips shamefully and stared at Zhou Chengru with affectionate eyes.

Zhou Chengru felt differently after seeing this.

Murong Feiyue saw it.

She blushed and lowered her head.

"Can I...can I help you?" After saying that, she leaned over and lay on Zhou Chengru.

A hand quietly reached in.

After unbuttoning Zhou Chengru's underwear, his soft and boneless hands touched that spot. Both of them trembled in their hearts, and a special smell filled the air...

Murong Feiyue seemed to have forgotten everything.

She took Zhou Chengru's hand with one hand and led it to the mountains that she was proud of.

"Ru. You are all I have."

"Moon." Zhou Chengru exclaimed.

……

I don’t know how long it took.

The two of them looked at each other contentedly.

Zhou Chengru touched her hand, with deep tenderness in his eyes.

"Tired?"
