Chapter 43: Conspiracy

n to take, Chen Jingsi interjected, "My subordinate has been personally appointed by His Majesty. Please allow me to greet him first and see if he will listen." After speaking, he took a few steps fo...When Ye Youxiao heard this, he was taken aback. The two large bags of money already weighed dozens of kilograms, far exceeding his maximum capacity. 。He could only manage to carry it with sheer willpower—the driving force was money! Who wouldn't be driven by the weight of that much money Fueled by this, he managed to lug the two sacks of money into the shed. Just as he was about to reach his donkey cart, Li Jiuniang suddenly shouted, causing him to go limp and fall. Thankfully, the bags were tied securely and didn't burst open, otherwise things would have been much worse. 。Huang Siniang followed him, also carrying a bag of money. 。But compared to the hapless Ye Youxiao, she was after all a seasoned practitioner. Therefore, she merely casually placed her money pouch down, watching Li Jiuniang's every move before deciding how best to assist. 。

Li Jiuniang saw Ye Youxiao fall to the ground and finally laughed out loud, and her depression dissipated.

Thinking that the Princess was still present, he said to Huang Siniang:

"There are people in this world who can't handle money. This incident should be made into a military drama, and it would surely be very popular."

Luo Yin felt a pang of pity: “Jiu-nü, this young man is simply not strong enough. Let me help him.” 。"Having heard that the great poet was coming to do manual labor, how could this be Li Jiuniang immediately changed her attitude and ordered Huang Si'niang:" "Si'niang, quickly call the porters to help You Xiao move the money." 。“Thinking to himself, he figured that even if he took the money back, he wouldn't spend it anyway. He had plenty of time to waste, so he didn't bother arguing about it at this moment. After all, he didn't want to be looked down upon by the great poet; that would be terrible.” 。Just now, I was telling my friend that Ye Youxiao should just "take the money and leave." Now it seems I'm saying he should "take the money and leave quickly." 。Huang Si Niang called over two porters, and of course, they soon moved all the money onto the donkey cart. It was indeed a full cartload of money. 。 。I don't know what's the matter with that Jin Kaiyuan, Li Jiuniang only gave 80 guan. 。At this moment, Lu Yin ran over and said with a smile: "Young Master Youxiao, you're carrying so much money. Why don't I accompany you home"Ye Youxiao was not afraid of his ugly face at all... 。I thought the way home was still far, and besides, I had so much money with me. With such a great poet accompanying me, it wouldn't be too dangerous. 。Have you heard When bandits encounter poets during a robbery, they always escort them down the mountain. 。

No wonder so many people want to be poets

It's rare to find a poet at Luo Yin's level of mastery. 。

Back in the shed, Li Jiuniang invited Zhang's wife to the inner room at the back for tea. Both women were eager to make friends with each other, and they really hit it off. They had a wonderful conversation.

Huang Si Niang, seeing the situation, took Zhu You Zhen out to play, making it convenient for Li Jiu Niang and Zhang Hui to talk. 。Seeing Zhu Youzhen leave, Li Jiuniang smiled and said: "So many people admire Luo Yin, not daring to speak of his appearance, but your husband is the only one who speaks plainly about it." 。"This child was raised entirely by me, and sometimes I feel like I've spoiled him too much. I'm afraid that in the future it will actually harm him." 。"Could it be that Master Zhu is not here to accompany Lady Youzhen" Li Jiuniang asked curiously. Zhang Hui sighed, "That man! I won't hide anything from the princess, ever since he accepted the imperial court's amnesty, he has only been focused on serving the government. He rarely goes home even once a year. He is busy killing Huang Chao, exterminating Cai bandits, encouraging farming and supplying tribute. He is too busy with so many things to take care of his children." 。With a few words, she created an image of a loyal minister who put the country above all else right before Li Jiuniang's eyes. It was almost as impressive as what Da Yu achieved. 。Zhang Hui knows that reputation is built through casual conversations, word of mouth, and she has done a great job in building her husband's reputation through this. 。With this reputation, her husband stood much firmer in the court. 。So she had long been accustomed to such conversations, appearing to complain that Zhu Quanzhong did not care for home, but in reality, she subtly helped her husband greatly. 。As the two were talking, Zhu Youzhen suddenly ran back and hugged Zhang Hui's knee, saying: "Mother, I heard they have a new play, Zhen'er really wants to see it." 。"Zhang Hui stroked his head and looked up at Li Jiuniang, smiling:“I only heard about it from Nine Niang today. This child couldn't hold back. In fact, it's me too. I also want to see something unusual." 。Li Jiuniang couldn't help but glance at Huang Si Niang, who was following Zhu Youzhen back. Huang Si Niang hurriedly lowered her head. 。Li Jiuniang immediately knew that it must be Huang Si Niang who had gossiped to this young official, so Zhu Youzhen ran back in a panic. 。Although the idea to attract Zhang Hui through a new play was hers, she originally intended to communicate further with Zhang Hui. 。Now it seems like the only option is to wait for her to come see a play again and try to win her over then. 。Immediately smiling, he replied:

“If Your Majesty were to grace us with your presence, it would be the greatest honor.”

The leaf hut is rather flimsy, I'm afraid the Empress will need to bring some seating before she can go there. 。Zhang Hui gave a faint smile. Seeing that her purpose for coming to the theater today had been fulfilled, she got up and said goodbye, taking her child with her. 。After sending off Mrs. Zhang, Li Jiuniang lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly beckoned to Huang Siniang:"Siniang, call Tian Gui immediately and have him help the Ye family exchange those gold and silver Kaiyuan coins as quickly as possible..." 。Since Madam Zhang was also coming to see the new play, Li Jiuniang no longer wanted to haggle with Ye Youxiao over currency exchange. 。Do not let the small matter become a big one, so quickly have Huang Si Niang resolve this trouble. 。Huang Si Niang did not ask any further questions and hurried away. 。At this time, Ye Youxiao and Luo Yin had already arrived at the counter in Yuanwai's shop and met Ye Housheng. 。Ye Hou Sheng had been waiting for a long time, secretly worrying that You Xiao might have fallen into Li Jiu Niao's trap again, or made excuses to shirk his responsibility. His thoughts were turbulent, regretting that he shouldn't have let You Xiao go alone to collect the money, but also thinking that a man should be more tempered through hardship. 。As I pondered, I suddenly saw Youxiao and an unsightly scholar arrive in a donkey cart. The cart was bulging, clearly laden with the money they had earned. Overjoyed, I hurried over and first asked:

"Youxiao, what is this gentleman's name"

On the way, Youxiao had been chatting and laughing with Luo Yin, becoming quite familiar with him. Now, seeing me ask, he said:

"He is the great poet Luo Yin, whose courtesy name is Zhaoyan." 。During the Tang Dynasty, renowned poet Ye Housheng heard that this unsightly man was actually a great poet. He immediately bowed deeply and said:"Oh my! I am blind to have missed such a distinguished gentleman. Please forgive me for my oversight." 。"Luo Yin hurriedly supported Ye Hou Sheng and asked Ye Youxiao, "Sir, are you the father of this young man" Seeing Ye Youxiao nod, he quickly said, "Sir, please don't be so polite. My name is Luo Yin. Talking with Young Master along the way has been very rewarding indeed." 。When Dai Ye Hou Sheng straightened his back, Luo Yin looked at the cabinet and said to You Xiao, "You Xiao, it's best to put these bags of money away quickly so that we can speak with authority." 。The clerk heard the noise and quickly called his assistants. They brought in several bags of silver and placed them on the counter. He opened one and shook his head, sighing: "Brother Ye, this gold and silver are probably not suitable for everyday use..." 。Ye Hou Sheng heard that it was gold and silver opening, he hurried forward to take a look, and couldn't help but shake his head. 。The magistrate asked the servant to open the remaining bags. As expected, they were all filled with gold and silver from the Kaiyuan era. 。Ye Hou Sheng helplessly said, “Your Highness truly enjoys toying with us.” 。Offered two hundred strings of cash, who knew she gave all silver and copper coins from the Kaiyuan era, making it truly difficult to accept. 。" real distance is obviously more than a thousand miles. Because," he walked to a table and rummaged through the papers, books, and stationery on its surface until he revealed a clear space, then pulle...
