Chapter 792 The Dust Settles
Those who get the salt are so happy that they dance and forget themselves, while those who drop the bid are stunned and cry. If they had known that the price is really high, they should have higher prices. Don’t think about choosing a beauty.
Cheng Mo was very satisfied with the result. In this era when people were more favorable, it was too difficult to do something fairly and fairly. Perhaps the next bidding meeting would become a place for power and money transactions. But what if it was, it was done according to his wishes.
Zhao Sijing was so excited that he was incoherent when he arrived at the 19th bid. He wanted to come over to talk to Cheng Mo several times, but then he held back. What if he angered this supreme existence and took the salt back?
Yi'er hid in the window on the third floor, her eyes didn't leave Cheng Mo for a moment. Chen Yi was not as good as Cheng Mo. She had more official habits than Cheng Mo and was a little artificial. The wealthy businessmen were covered in fat, so what's the difference between feces? She really felt that good-looking men were pleasing to the eye. She was willing to be with such men even if they were drinking the northwest wind.
If Cheng Mo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely despise her. If he was only handsome, she would think that he was an embroidered pillow and was not useful.
The wealthy businessmen were excited and did not pay attention to when Cheng Mo would leave.
Cheng Mo returned to the C-font room, lay on the soft couch, and said, "I'm starving to death, I'll send you food soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yier Pingtingting, who was holding a tray in her hand, walked in. She put a few steaming dishes on the tray. She put the tray onto several tables and said, "I have ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch. The stove has not turned off and it has been hot."
Cheng Mo turned over and sat up, saying, "What are you doing when your eyes are shining? I don't have meat on my body."
Most people here see the meat and their eyes glowing, which has nothing to do with the rich and poor, so Cheng Mo jokes with Yier. When Yier eats meat, it is a relative that makes people stunned. She can eat a fat chicken in one meal.
He had no princely airs at the table and ate casually. His casualness was more elegant than many people and was pleasing to the eye. Yi'er's eyes could be moved away.
Halfway through eating, Cheng Mo felt two shiny gazes on him, and stopped chopsticks and said, "If you are hungry, you are allowed to go to the kitchen to eat, and you don't have to wait here."
She is now a maid and has to wait for the master to finish her meal before she can go to the kitchen to eat the leftovers removed.
Yier's saliva was almost flowing down and she said, "I've eaten it."
Have you drooled after taking it? Cheng Mo said: "Go out."
Liu Xun, who was far away in the capital, was very angry, so that the eunuchs who served in Xuanshi Hall were careful and walked with their toes, with their heads hanging to their chests.
Xiao Luzi stood silently at the corner of the hall, his face also looked very bad.
With a bang, Liu Xun threw the memorial on the imperial desk to the ground and stood up. He has always been easy-going, calm in encountering things, and has not been so angry. Xiao Luzi whispered: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry."
Alas, it would be great if King Bei'an was there. If he had him talk to His Majesty and help His Majesty find a way, His Majesty would be happier. As soon as Xiao Luzi had turned this thought in his mind, he heard Liu Xun say, "Have the edict sent to Yangzhou arrived?"
Xiao Luzi chanted the words and said, "This has been sent for three days, so it should have arrived."
Liu Xun stopped talking, walked to the door, returned and continued to comment on memorials. Xiao Luzi picked up the memorials on the ground, and before he could return to the imperial case, Liu Xun said, "Don't throw them away."
This memorial was written over a thousand words, with only one content, impeaching the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Shi, who was late to school. Speaking of which, this was not Liu Shi's fault. The palace servant who sent him to school to eat spoiled food and had diarrhea on the way, which caused him to be a quarter of an hour late. Just because of this, being impeached was a big deal, let alone Liu Shi was just a four-year-old child.
No wonder Liu Xun was angry about this matter.
Cheng Mo knew nothing about what happened in the capital. After having a leisurely meal, he felt very comfortable watching the wealthy businessmen in the garden.
Before leaving, Zhao Si asked to see Yier. Now Yier is no longer something he can see as soon as he wants. He stood in the lobby, rubbing his hands constantly, which was very cramped.
Yier said, "I don't see you. I'm not familiar with him, so what do you do when I see him?"
I felt very uncomfortable when I thought of him relying on how much money he had to force himself to pass the family in order to cheer up his son. If it weren't for Cheng Mo, she would have become the concubine of the chattering girl. She agreed to become Zhao Xiaolang's concubine, but she was unwilling to become the concubine of the chattering girl.
Zhao Si left disappointed and walked out of the Jade Residence, looking back at the tallest building in the city, his heart was heavy. After returning home, he didn't care about his son who was so sick that he was about to die. He called his sons to discuss for a long time. Finally, he went to find Yier's father in person and gave him a generous gift, asking him to say a few good words in front of Yier.
Seeing that he was pitiful, the old man agreed and found Yier. As soon as he spoke, Yier said vigilantly: "Father, don't be soft-hearted." After the old man left, he returned to the B-shaped room angrily.
Seeing that her mouth was so pouting that she could hang two skewers of mutton, Cheng Mo said strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Zhao Si is shameless and takes advantage of his father." Yier said: "Prince, why not take back the salt gutter he won the bid to see how many days he can jump."
"This is not possible." Cheng Mo said: "He used your father, but he got the salt quotation. These are two different things."
"Well, you're right." Yier felt that he said his thoughts and praised him fiercely. She was just angry just now, but she didn't want to make a real trouble.
Cheng Mo was speechless, do you really know the identity of your maid?
The salt was destroyed, and the city was rumored that when the King of Bei'an loved the people as his son, Cheng Mo received an urgent edict of 800 miles. Liu Xun asked him to return to Beijing immediately and then he would recommend him and promote Chen Yi to the prefectural governor.
Chen Yi was so happy that he was promoted to the governor of the state and sent away the god Cheng Mo.
When Cheng Mo came, he left in a hurry and only brought his clothes to change. At this time, he simply packed up and prepared to return to Beijing. Yier said to her younger brother who was a mate at the Jade Queju, brought a small bag and went to Beijing together.
"The prince has made great contributions in Yangzhou, so please allow the superiors to practice it as the prince." Chen Yi sincerely wanted to practice it for Cheng Mo. He came here and took Zhou Zheng so that he could be promoted from a foreigner to a provincial governor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is his noble person.
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an edict and will return to the capital immediately."
The meaning of immediate is to take the imperial edict and do not delay.
Zhou Jin also came to see him off and said, "I thank the prince for helping him. I have no way to repay him. I can only repay him with loyalty to the country and patriotism, so as to repay his kindness."
Cheng Mo Ai-ting said this, patted his shoulder and said, "Do it well."
Yi'er can't ride a horse, and she doesn't want to let Heizi and others take her, so she insists on following Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo is so worried that he doesn't bother with her and takes her behind the horse.
Zhou Jin, Chen Yi and a group of salt merchants were sent to the city gate and saw Cheng Mo and his team of more than a dozen fast horses leaving the city towards the direction of the capital, and everyone showed a reluctance. During the period when King Bei'an was in Yangzhou, Yangzhou was indeed a little different.
