Chapter 24 The Six Boxes of the Shang King

At this moment, Eunuch Qian extremely regretted agreeing to Li Yewu's request.

He thought that Li Yewu could only send some food or supplies to the king of wine at most, and it was considered a good thing for an adult to do something with a little effort.

Who would have thought that what the little lady wanted to give was more than a hundred sheep and some cheap medicinal herbs!

Seeing these things, Eunuch Qian almost fainted.

He regards this ship as a gift from His Majesty as his lifeblood!

Normally, when outsiders boarded the ship and trampled on his deck, he would feel distressed for a long time, but now the deck was full of cattle and sheep. Seeing those cattle and sheep pooping all over the deck, Father Qian felt bad.

However, it was time to board the ship and leave, and driving the animals down would be unpopular.

He was already envied by others because of His Majesty's important position. It would be bad if someone with intentions used this matter to make a fuss and impeach him for looking down on the royal family.

Moreover, what Li Yewu said was "a gift for King Shang" and he had no right to help King Shang refuse it.

To sum up, Eunuch Qian could only accept this reality with blood flowing from his heart.

In this way, Li Yewu led all the members of the Prince's Palace to send Eunuch Qian away enthusiastically.

It wasn't until the ship was out of sight that Li Yewu sighed,

"Eunuch Qian never said a word after seeing the sheep. Old steward, do you think he will be angry?"

"Ahem, what do you think?"

"No way?" Li Yewu knew the consultant clearly.

The old housekeeper scratched his head in embarrassment: "Eunuch Qian regards his boat as a treasure and likes to take it with him wherever he goes. However, after this time, he will probably not take his own boat again if he comes again."

"Ah? He is so luxurious, why don't he give it up if it gets dirty?" She happens to be short of a boat, why don't you give it to her?

"Ahem, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare to come again." The old housekeeper answered to the point.

"..." Li Yewu.

It seemed like she would continue to ask him to deliver cows next time.

Obviously this time it was out of necessity.

Li Yewu shook her head and said to everyone: "The noble man has sent you away, let's go back home! When the money arrives, we will reward you based on your merits."

In fact, the money has been lying in the warehouse for a long time. She added this superfluous sentence just to make "money laundering" smoother.

In fact, people may not hear what Li Yewu said clearly, but their actions are all in their eyes.

It didn't take long for the news to spread that "the king asked the princess to catch sheep and sell them to the capital".

They could finally understand the reason why Prince Zhang's palace was driving sheep in such a mighty manner the day before yesterday.

No matter what, this is something to be happy about. After all, according to usual practice, as long as people from the imperial capital come, the king will be rich.

The first thing the King of Shang did when he had money was to give money to the slums.

Although the king is not here now, the princess is here!

And they also negotiated a deal, so the money will definitely be more!

So when the common people saw Li Yewu sending away the official family, they rushed to the Yamen in an instant, trying to get ahead in the queue when the welfare was distributed.

Here, Li Yewu ran faster than the common people. To put it bluntly, she also ran for the money—the six boxes in the warehouse were still waiting for her to open.

From yesterday to now, after entertaining Eunuch Qian until sending him off to the ship, Li Yewu was busy counting cattle and sheep and preparing herbs, and had no time to open the box and take a look.

At this time, she finally had time to unpack, and Li Yewu was extremely excited.

Rushing back to the house at lightning speed, Li Yewu went straight to the warehouse to open the boxes without hesitation.

What she was thinking about was golden gold, and all six boxes were filled with golden and heavy gold...

Then when she opened the box, she was dumbfounded.

In disbelief, Li Yewu opened several boxes in succession. But there were still flowers, all kinds of wild flowers, lying quietly inside the boxes.

?????

Li Yewu was shocked.

What kind of operation is this? Xiao Jiuxi is teasing her?

Or are the flowers just a deception, and the valuable ones are underneath?

Thinking of this, Li Yewu bent down and dug for a while, but there was nothing else in the box except flowers.

Even the flowers on the bottom are a little wilted due to long-distance transportation, and they are not beautiful at all.

"Isn't it?" Li Yewu felt like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Jiuxi is indeed an unreliable guy!

They sent six boxes all the way from the capital, but the boxes were full of worthless wild flowers!

@#★&……

In Li Yewu's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past.

At this time, the old housekeeper was also present. Seeing the contents of these six boxes, he couldn't help but have dark thoughts in his mind.

The master is indeed a master, but he is still so inappropriate. If he were the young lady, he would be angry.

After all, what the palace really lacks is not flowers, but money!

However, as an excellent general manager, you cannot tell your masters your true inner thoughts, especially at this juncture, as it will only add fuel to the fire.

Therefore, the old housekeeper could only bite the bullet and said with a smile: "Master is really thoughtful. I know that young lady, you will definitely feel homesick when you are here alone, so I specially found some common things for you to ease your homesickness..."

"Ha!" Li Yewu sneered, interrupting the old housekeeper's nonsense.

She shook her hand angrily and spread all the flowers.

"Throw away all these flowers. Six boxes are used to contain our things."

"Uh...yes." The old housekeeper nodded guiltily, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.

At the same time, I was moved by the little lady’s words “our things”.

Little madam, you don't treat him as an outsider at all. It's really touching that she relies on herself so much.

Therefore, it doesn't hurt that the master is a little aggrieved for the time being... Well, it doesn't hurt. Seeing that my wife manages this family so carefully, the master can bear with it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the master is far away in the capital and should not be aware of their actions.

No matter how you pull it off, the fact that the old housekeeper has unknowingly been leaning towards the new owner of the Prince's Palace remains unchanged.

Of course, he would never admit it. He thought that everything he did was just to let his master have a more harmonious home!

…

Li Yewu got rid of the unsightly wild flowers and focused on the debt again.

There are still twenty days left before the thirty-day deadline. Fortunately, she has already raised the money in advance.

But there's no reason to rush to pay back the money, and it's probably that those guys haven't sorted out the new bills yet.

Li Yewu decided to give them a few days of grace, and he took advantage of this gap and started running to Taihe City.

After paying off the debt, the next step is reform.

If you want to reform, you must first understand the public sentiment. Only in this way can you carry out smooth reforms without arousing public anger.

Li Yewu ran out every now and then, and the old housekeeper was worried.

After all, they had just offended Meihua Village. It would be dangerous if Meihua Village was ambushing in the dark.

However, the young lady is not worried about it. There seems to be more important things to her than Meihua Village.

In fact, it was indeed the case. Li Yewu was busy with future plans and had been wandering around the fields. In about ten days, she finally made a thorough investigation of the people's livelihood and sentiments here.

Fortunately, Meihua Village seems to have disappeared without a trace.
