Yan Ruyu received the order, clasped her fists and retreated respectfully.
As soon as Yan Ruyu left the yard, the empress glared at Su Changan: "Look at what you have done!"
Su Changan smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he was thinking, is the cat's medicine so powerful? In just a short while, the person passed out.
The empress smiled and said, "But it's supposed to be like this. I'll have someone tell the empress dowager and find a reason to say that you have enough people here and don't need anyone else. But..."
At this point, the empress rolled her eyes at Su Changan and said, "If this happens, the Queen Mother will probably be even angrier. I really don't know what to say to you. I clearly told you not to provoke the Queen Mother."
Su Changan immediately said, "Isn't this her fault? These blueprints in my yard, and other things, and you came to my place to date me, you don't want her to know so much, right?"
The empress was very smart and naturally understood that the matter of muskets and cannons was of great importance and must not be known to anyone else.
But when she heard Su Changan mention date, she naturally knew it since Su Changan had explained this word to her before.
But hearing this.
The empress was a little shy, so she cursed: "What do you mean by date? Who is dating you? I just came here to see you!"
But finished
The empress pursed her lips and said, "But you seem to have adapted well on your first day here, and you made me so happy, and gave me the drawings of the musket and artillery. So I'll make it clear to you, I'm not going to take your rouge shop away directly, but I'm going to put a royal name on it. That way, no one will mess with your shop, and they won't dare to play tricks behind your back."
"Otherwise, with such huge profits in the rouge industry, many people would be jealous. Even if everyone knows that Su Liheng is from the Su family, they have to give the old master some face, but there are many people in the court who don't get along with the old master. With such huge profits, it's hard for them not to be tempted. They can use any means to steal the formula. And in the rouge industry, I know about your new rouge, which will have some impact on the rouge on the market now. Taking away someone's wealth is like killing their parents. Your rouge has taken away the sales of many people's old rouge. If things go wrong, it will also affect foreign merchants. It's always troublesome."
"In business, we don't care about losing money, but we must be careful about people playing tricks behind our backs. If something goes wrong, we may lose everything. So I helped you get the royal name, and then it will not be under the management of the inner treasury, and it will be independent, so as to avoid these troubles. Even if there are some who are blind, they will directly violate the laws of Daxia. Moreover, with the royal mark, those foreign merchants will be jealous but can't do anything. So don't think that I am greedy for your shop. Besides, I have said that your shop will only be helpful to me when it becomes really big in the future. Now these are just petty gains in my opinion."
When Su Changan heard this, he actually knew a little about doing business and understood the troubles that the empress was talking about.
Moreover, he explained all these very clearly to Su Liheng, and Su Liheng directly said that he would take care of it, so Su Changan ignored it.
Chapter 70 It Should Be a Beautiful Scene
But when he heard the empress say this, he was happy in his heart. But after thinking for a while, he said: "I originally prepared everything to give to you. You have the final say."
The Empress laughed and said, "What a promise! You gave it all to me. You hid all your own private money, and you said you would give it all to me."
But finished
The empress regretted it.
What’s the point of having private money? I haven’t even gotten married yet!
Don’t be so heartless when you speak in the future!
But while thinking this, he saw that Su Changan didn't move, and his heart warmed. This fool didn't say anything, so he should talk about private money next time!
Su Changan frowned and said, "Let's be honest. I said I'll give you all of it. It's definitely not my private money. Besides, you give me whatever I want. Why would I hide my private money? I plan to give part of the two thousand taels to Maomao and the other part to Yan Ruyu and the Chixia Army."
"Maomao and I have a life-long friendship! So I should give her more money. Although she has never told me about her family situation, I guess it must be bad, so I should give her some. And Zhou Qianhong and other Red Cloud Army soldiers have been protecting me, and it's also very hard. Sometimes I see them patrolling in the middle of the night, and I feel guilty. Although I always make delicious food for them, I still feel guilty."
"So I thought about giving them some money. Although giving money is vulgar, I treat them with my heart. It's their business whether they want it or not, but it's my business whether I give it or not. Don't you think this makes sense?"
The empress nodded: "I know that. Those Chixia soldiers also have a special liking for you. But I have already arranged this for you. I also have arrangements with Maomao. She has saved your life many times. Now she has officially left the palace maid contract and become an ordinary female doctor. I also thought about it a long time ago. There are still arrangements for the future. But since you have such an idea, then fine, you can keep the two thousand taels."
"After all, what you give is what you give. But you can't give too much to the Chixia Army, and I have my own arrangements for those who are guarding you, so I won't give you money and ask you to give more to them. Excluding the money for the cat, the rest should be enough. When the time is right, you can get some silver or other things from me and give them to them."
"As for the cat."
Thinking of this, the empress hesitated for a moment, because when she heard this, she realized that Maomao obviously did not tell Su Changan about her own affairs.
Then it seems inconvenient for me to say it.
After all, she was someone who was by Su Changan's side, so the Empress naturally had to investigate carefully, otherwise she wouldn't let Mao Mao stay by Su Changan's side like this.
After thinking for a while, the empress said, "Just handle it yourself."
Then, the empress looked at the cat outside that happened to be chasing a gecko past the gate of the courtyard, and then looked at Su Changan: "You look silly, but you are thoughtful. Just tell me about these things in the future. I can give you the money, after all, it is the right way. But I still say that you can't keep money on hand, especially your appearance, which is enough to attract bees and butterflies. If you have more money on you, who knows how many debts you will have!"
Su Changan sighed, looked at the empress and said, "Slowly you will realize how devoted I am to you."
The empress curled her lips: "Li Xingyue?"
Su Changan frowned and wanted to explain again, but when he thought about the unreasonable person in front of him, he shook his head and said, "Let's talk about something else."
The empress snorted, but thinking of what Su Changan had done for her, she said, "I know you want to help me, but I don't tell you a lot of things because you can't learn martial arts, your handwriting is ugly, and the court is more dangerous than you think. If something happens to you, what do you want me to do? That's why I protect you completely. After all, it was me who pushed you to the forefront, and I can't let anything happen to you."
"I won't stop you from doing anything you want to do, but you can't get involved in these things. Those people are all wolves and tigers as my father said. Although I am confident that I can gradually erode them and then suppress them all like my father did, it will take some time, so you can get involved. But whatever else you want to do, it's up to you."
But thinking of this, the empress repeated, "But you always like to attract bees and butterflies, which makes me angry. Can I just stop doing this?"
Su Changan listened to the empress's words
He sighed helplessly. He understood the reason, but he just looked at the empress.
He actually wanted to ask, what does these things have to do with his ugly handwriting!
But after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. He just nodded and said, "Well, you do your thing. I won't get involved in those things, but I can't really do nothing."
The empress looked at Su Changan and knew that if she really tried to control it, she would definitely fail, so she nodded and said, "If it's not dangerous, you can just get some muskets and cannons, and if these two things are really as powerful as you said, it will be a great help to me. But the matter of Li Xingyue was something you ran into suddenly, and the crazy queen mother suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill her niece. I don't know what she wanted. There are many ways to force Li Jiulang to save her son, and I don't know why she chose this method. Anyway, you were lucky to run into it, and you helped me a lot."
"You probably won't be so lucky next time. But, as I said, it's not dangerous, so you can do it."
Su Changan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The empress grinned, looked at the bright moon outside, and sighed, because she knew it was time for her to leave.
It’s not about other things, but there are some political affairs that need to be dealt with.
Su Changan looked at the empress and thought of what happened just now, so he asked, "Just now you said you could promise me one thing, anything?"
Hearing this, the empress turned her head to look at Su Changan and nodded: "Yes, I am the empress. Once I say something, I will not regret it."
Su Changan hesitated for a moment: "What if you don't agree with me because of your status as the empress?"
The empress frowned and glared: "Am I such an unreasonable person! What's more, I treat you as my love, cough cough cough, I treat you like this, but you think I am the empress, right! "
Su Changan shook his head: "Yes, a little bit. After all, I think you are the empress, so I have to accommodate you in some places. I dare not hit you, and I dare not say anything."
The empress immediately became furious: "Su Changan, when did you become so snobbish! Who am I to you? How do I treat you? Do you have to be as respectful as those people?"
Su Changan pursed his lips, looked at the empress, thought for a moment and said, "Then I said, are you really not angry?"
The empress nodded immediately: "Just tell me, as long as it's not something too extreme, I'll agree to it."
Su Changan asked tentatively: "Anything is fine?"
The empress nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"
Su Changan asked again: "Not angry?"
The empress shook her head: "I'm not angry."
Su Changan pursed his lips and said, "Can we be more reasonable in the future?"
The empress was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "I won't reason with you, change someone else, I can't do this!"
Su Changan curled his lips when he heard this: "Whatever you said is fine."
The empress was unreasonable: "No matter what, everything else is fine, even if you want to kick me like before, but I can't reason with you!"
As an empress, you have to reason with everyone in the world and get things done!
Everything must have a reason!
The only thing is that when it comes to the person you like, you have to be unreasonable!
Hearing this, Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Then should I kick you?"
The empress thought about it and decided that a kick would not be a bad idea. After all, this guy had kicked me many times before when we got to know each other, and it didn't hurt. Besides, this guy looked a little aggrieved, so a kick would be fine to relieve his stress. So she nodded, "Okay."
Su Changan was eager to try, but looked at the empress's face.
Why.
Forget it.
Reluctant.
The past was before and the present is now.
There is no reason to kick your own wife like this.
So he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't bear to part with it."
The empress felt sweet when she heard this, but she looked at Su Changan and said, "I've given you a chance, are you really not going to kick me?"
Su Changan looked at the empress's expression and wondered whether he should kick her?
But still shook his head.
I just can't bear to let go, there's no reason.
Even though this opportunity is rare, it has nothing to do with anything else.
If you really want to know the reason, it’s because I like it.
The empress looked at Su Changan and said, "Fool, you didn't seize such a good opportunity. What are you thinking? However, I am not a hard-talking person. If you think of other things, you can always tell me. I will just consider it as my debt to you this time."
Then, the empress looked at Su Changan, and thinking of what Su Changan had just said about not wanting to let her go, she felt even more beautiful. Looking at Su Changan's face under the moon, it seemed to be glowing.
Recalling the story of the couple in the story that Su Changan had told himself before
With a slight bite of her teeth, she moved her lips lightly towards Su Changan's cheek like a dragonfly touching the water.
Su Changan felt the fleeting beauty and then looked at the empress.
The empress's face was flushed and her eyes were shy, and she looked even more beautiful under the moonlight.
When she saw Su Changan looking at her, the empress blushed and said, "What are you looking at? This is just a reward for you. If you..."
Su Changan didn't care what the empress said, he just looked at her.
I was originally thinking about whether I should ask the empress to be able to enter and leave the palace freely, or some other request.
But this sudden moment of beauty left him a little confused.
And now looking at the empress
like
As a man, I should take the initiative now.
