Chapter 192 Remuneration
The Queen Mother held the lid of the tea cup tightly: "The Emperor is still too young after all, and has too little experience to even distinguish between good and bad."
"Queen Mother, do you want to go to the Imperial Study Room and tell the Emperor?"
"The Emperor has separated from the Ai family. Going there is just to increase his disgust. The Imperial Adviser has tried every possible means to obtain the military talisman and must be doing something big. Send people to keep an eye on it."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Mammy left the palace and went to arrange the manpower.
But they underestimated the national preceptor, thinking that the national preceptor was just a Taoist with mediocre martial arts skills, so the person they hired was not the best in martial arts.
The person sent to monitor was quickly discovered by the Imperial Guard, but he did not rush to solve it, but took advantage of it.
The Imperial Master left the palace, and even the people who brought the scriptures stopped coming. Shen Zhiyue had a free time, eating and sleeping every day, making up for the fear and sleepless nights of the past few days.
Every time Qiaoyue came, she would bring her snacks from outside the palace. Qiaoyue came to her room holding the beggar's chicken in her hands.
"Try this, it's delicious."
Shen Zhiyue sat next to her, biting the chicken leg: "I know a better one."
"Where?" Qiao Yue asked. She always thought she was eating the most delicious beggar's chicken in the whole capital.
"At Fanghua Winery."
She hesitated, she had heard of Fanghua Winery, but Fanghua Winery was a place for wealthy people to spend money. She had to save two or three days of money to buy a piece of silver called Huaji.
Qiaoyue lowered her head: "It's not something I can afford."
"I saved some silver there. Just tell me my name. It's really delicious. You should try it."
Qiaoyue also heard that the shopkeeper of Fanghua Restaurant was a difficult person to get along with because of his lack of skills. She could save money there, so she must have a good relationship with him.
"Little madam, are you friends with the shopkeeper?"
If so, then there is the possibility of passing on the news. The master handed the young lady to her before leaving. She cannot slack off and must hold on until the master comes back.
Shen Zhiyue was afraid that she would be suspicious, so she said with a smile: "How is it possible? It's because she owed me a favor when she dealt with the refugee issue last time, so she gave me some money and let me spend it whenever I want."
That night the woman from the embroidery shop knelt outside the palace to plead for her. She knew it, but it was not clear whether she was alive or dead at that time, so she never wanted to tell them that she was safe.
But now she was sure that the Imperial Master didn't want to kill her for the time being. As for what he wanted to do by keeping her alive, she didn't know, so she had to plan first.
"Then I'll go to Fanghua Restaurant to pick up a beggar chicken in the evening."
Shen Zhiyue said with a smile: "Okay, the beggar's chicken at Fanghua Restaurant is really good, and the chefs there are really top-notch. I can't always get money in the palace. After all, the princess doesn't like my merchant background." ."
Qiao Yue couldn't help chatting with her: "The concubine has a particularly kind temper. I didn't expect her to be so harsh to you."
"Since ancient times, the biggest problem in marriages is mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. No matter how kind a woman is, she will fight over her children. This is motherhood." Shen Zhiyue explained.
"Since you had such a hard time in the palace, you never thought of leaving?"
Shen Zhiyue showed a sweet smile: "My heart is lost. No matter where I go, I will always miss the people in the capital."
"Little madam, what does it feel like to like someone?"
Shen Zhiyue saw that she was like an ignorant girl who didn't know anything: "If you like someone, you can't help but miss him. Knowing that he is in danger, you will risk your life to save him. In front of him, everything you originally valued has become It’s not that important anymore.”
Qiao Yue shook her head firmly: "In my heart, no one is more important than Master."
Shen Zhiyue stopped emphasizing: "Everyone values different things. I value life, but if he is in danger, I can protect him without risking my life."
Qiao Yue looked at her and blinked, her own life was also important. She had not met anyone more important than her life so far.
After eating the beggar's chicken, Shen Zhiyue became a little lazy, holding her head in her hands and looking at the troubled appearance of the little girl in front of her.
It would be great if you don't get distracted, and you can work on your career peacefully. Men's things don't matter, and having them is really heart-breaking.
At this time, her senior brother came over and said, "Qiaoyue, I guess you are here. Come with us quickly. Do you still need some silver to buy food this month?"
As soon as Qiao Yue heard this, she knew that she had come to live. She immediately became energetic and simply packed up the oil paper and took it out.
"Little madam, wait until I come back in the evening."
Shen Zhiyue nodded and motioned for her to go quickly.
She looked at the figures flashing outside the window, and she could see that her senior brothers really loved her. It hurt her to hold someone in their hands, so why would she look for a man? Men and so on were superfluous.
Qiao Yue asked what kind of business this order was on the road. The senior brother said: "There has been a chicken plague in the capital recently. This is your strength. If you cure the chickens, you should be able to earn a lot."
When she heard about the silver coins, her eyes instantly lit up: "Senior brother, you can really earn a lot of money."
"Of course, the one who asked us to take action this time is the chicken doctor in the capital. All the chickens in the palace are obtained from him."
Qiao Yue suddenly felt energetic. Her senior brother was holding a ritual next to her, while she briefly checked the chicken carcass to determine the cause of the disease, and secretly prepared the medicine in a corner where no one could see it.
She sprinkled the medicinal powder into the water that the chickens drank. The sick chickens would peck at some water from time to time and regain their energy as quickly as they could see.
Immediately afterwards, all the chickens in the chicken pen stood up and clucked, as if they were concerned about the injuries of their companions.
The big chicken farmer looked at it and said excitedly: "I really found the right person this time."
Neighbors rushed to see the excitement, thinking that this big chicken farmer would lose money this year, but they didn't expect that the chickens suddenly came alive, and he made a lot of money this year again.
The senior brother stopped and said, "This chicken is already good."
The big chicken farmer was in disbelief: "I really didn't expect that this method can make chickens come alive. You are really the reincarnation of gods."
Qiao Yue came out from behind the house: "This matter has been settled."
When the big chicken farmer heard what she said, he immediately walked into the chicken pen and a chicken was caught. He neatly tied the chicken's feet, threw it aside, and continued.
They were all stunned when they looked outside. What was going on?
The big chicken farmer came out with four fat chickens and handed them to them. The chickens pecked their heads at her. She was so frightened that she immediately hid behind her senior brother. The chickens tasted quite delicious, but they looked a bit scary.
The senior brother protected her behind him: "What are you doing?"
"As a reward, I'll give you the chickens I raised myself. A pot of chicken soup will make up for it."
They Taoist priests only practice cultivation, but they don't have taboos on food. It's just that the master has always been a vegetarian, so they really don't taboo on meat and vegetables.
When they saw this situation, the price of these four chickens was indeed enough to cover their remuneration, which was already quite a lot of money, so they had nothing to say.
