Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

At this time, the inner guards also came up to the carriage.

"Mr. Xu has been arrested. Let's go in and count the dowry now!"

"coming!"

Xu Jinyu jumped off the carriage. The most important reason why she came here was Wei An's mother's dowry of one million taels.

There was no way out. We were too poor. The 10,000 taels of silver awarded by Emperor Xuan were not enough to buy the glass-making technology.

Xu Jinyu has to borrow the rest from Wei An.

The inner guards brought Wei An and Xu Jinyu into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in a swaggering manner.

The old lady of Pingyang Marquis delivered the key to the warehouse early.

The doors of the warehouses opened one by one.

"Wow! This storehouse is full of silver and gold."

"This storeroom is full of silk."

“This storehouse is full of porcelain.”

···········

Wei An and Xu Jinyu, two country bumpkins, were finally enlightened.

The two of them went in and out of the warehouse, looking at it strangely.

The people from the inner guard checked Liu's dowry list and found that at least half of the things on the list were missing.

Xu Jinyu looked at the missing items on the dowry list, and while reading, she searched the system to find out where these things had gone.

[Green glazed Suan Ni incense burner, eh! This has been buried in the tomb of the old Marquis of Pingyang, it is not easy to get it back. ]

what!

Taking your daughter-in-law's dowry into the grave, what does that mean?

[A large sandalwood carved bed with dripping water, ah! This is in the bedroom of the old lady of Pingyang Hou. ]

[Oh my god! The daughter-in-law was killed, and the old lady felt at ease using her dowry, right? She really wasn't afraid of her daughter-in-law coming to look for her in the middle of the night.]

This time, everyone looked at the courtyard of the old lady of Pingyang Marquis with contempt.

The servants of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion in the yard wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

Wei An looked indifferent when he heard this. Why did the old lady of Pingyang Hou turn a blind eye to her son killing his wife? Wasn't it because she was also short of money?

Her only conscience was to watch over Wu Jiaojiao and prevent her from killing Wei An.

As for those who didn't give him food or clothes, and hinted to the servants to beat and scold Wei An, she pretended not to see anything.

It would be best if Wei An could live a cowardly life in this life.

Only then could she use Liu's dowry without any scruples.

[The ivory-handled palace fan with a beautiful woman made of gold is from the Marquis of Qingyang family and was given as a gift.]

Those who came to watch the fun from the Qingyang Marquis's family ran home immediately.

[The inlaid pearl curtain was taken by the Marquis of Pingyang and is now in the home of the Minister of Personnel.]

An official from the Ministry of Personnel who was watching the fun suddenly turned pale. How could he tell the Minister of Personnel if he didn't come?

It is said that your precious Liuguang Pavilion Curtain is Liu's dowry.

[Ivory carving of three goats bringing good fortune screen, how come this is still in the palace? It was given away by the Marquis of Pingyang.]

This time it was the internal security guards' turn to be upset.

[Taotie pattern jade Ruyi pillow, this one is in...]

··········

On this day, all those who were watching the fun at Pingyang Marquis' Mansion went out with gloomy faces.

Just watch the fun, don't make the loss too big.

All the expenses of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion were paid with the dowry of Liu, who was killed by them.

They still haven't returned the things they gave away.

If so, they will suffer a loss. Didn’t they see that the people in Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion were pretending to be dead?

If you don’t return it, it will be a bit bad.

Soon, Emperor Xuan gave the answer and asked the Pingyang Marquisate to find a way to make up Liu's dowry. If it could not be made up, then they would have to sell the house and land.

If there is no other way, the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will go out to work and pay off their debts. It is impossible for them to pretend to be dead.

Wei Youxue, the concubine's son of Pingyang Marquis, who had just received the imperial edict, smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He didn't know whether others felt uncomfortable or not, but he was happy anyway.

As the illegitimate son of Marquis Pingyang, he had been separated from his family long ago and lived on some ancestral property.

If you have to pay the money, you have to pay it. This is a hereditary title.

His branch was considered to be prosperous, thanks to his eldest brother, thanks to Liu, thanks to Wei An, thanks to His Majesty, and thanks to everyone.

The newly crowned marquis even set up a longevity tablet for Liu and Wei An.

He never forgets to burn a stick of incense every morning and evening. Wei Youxue and his whole family also follow their father to burn incense, and they are very happy.

As for what Xu Jinyu and Wei An are doing?

The two of them moved all the things in the warehouse to one of Liu's dowry courtyards.

It just so happens that this place is not far from Xu Jinyu’s county lord’s mansion.

"Is 10 taels of silver enough?"

Wei An and Xu Jinyu were squatting in the silver vault, covered in dust and dirt.

They are now going to charge silver into the golden finger. Xu Jinyu plans to buy the manufacturing method of glass, and Wei An plans to buy the manufacturing method of ancient cement.

I'll offer the traditional method of making cement so that I can at least get myself an official position.

"let me see."

Xu Jinyu looked through the golden finger with a bitter face. The things inside were good, but they were all cheap.

A glass-making technique costs 6000 taels of gold, which is taels of silver.

The traditional method of making cement is a little more expensive than glass, costing 8000 taels of gold and taels of silver.

"A total of 140,000 taels of silver are needed."

Wei An covered his chest with his hands.

“Is it so expensive?”

Xu Jinyu stared at the catalog on the golden finger and said calmly, "Not bad! There is also a method for extracting allicin, which is more expensive, costing thirty thousand taels of gold."

“Allicin!”

Wei An stood up in surprise. "In ancient times, allicin was a good medicine for treating dysentery, typhoid fever, whooping cough, and even stomach problems. Do you want to buy it?"

Xu Jinyu raised her eyelids.

“You forget we are poor.”

“Yes! We are poor.”

Wei An suddenly remembered that he had only brought back a small half of his mother's dowry, only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and most of it was in kind.

They can now only afford glass and ancient cement making methods.

Don’t think about anything else for now.

"Don't worry, let's make the glass first, make money from the glass, and then buy other things."

··········

In the room, Xu Jinyu and Wei An discussed and planned their future actions.

Outside the room, the former Imperial Guards, now Internal Guards, quietly jumped down from the roof and ran towards the palace.

He didn't understand anything else, but he understood dysentery. If dysentery is not properly controlled, it can cause an epidemic.

There was a plague caused by dysentery in the State of Qi, and more than half of the people in a large city died.

The stench of the corpse attracted countless scavengers, which also died after eating the corpse.

Until now, that city is still a well-known ghost town, and no one is willing to set foot within a hundred miles of that city.

If Lord Xu can really get a specific medicine for dysentery, he will be able to make another contribution.

Early the next morning, while it was still dark, Xu Jinyu was shaken awake.

Xu Jinyu opened her eyes dazedly and saw that it was Nanny He from the East Palace.

Without saying a word, he covered his head with the quilt and continued to sleep.

Nanny He knew from looking at Xu Jinyu's movements that Xu Jinyu had not woken up yet.

He smiled and said to Xu Jinyu: "Master Xu, it's time to go to court. It will be too late if you don't get up now."

[Ah! Do I have to go to this court? Is the old emperor really not sleepy? ]

Nanny He wiped the sweat from her forehead skillfully and continued the wake-up service.

Anyway, Mr. Xu comes every morning like this, I'm used to it, haha! I'm used to it.
