Chapter 275 Dealing with Chun Shao
Shen Wan's personality is somewhat similar to Shen Jiyao's, so it is not difficult to communicate with them. However, Zhao Fangyu is reluctant to leave Shen Jiyao, a girl as bright as the sun.
But Shen Jiyao is not suitable for the capital, she yearns for Shuobei and is more suitable for Shuobei. Before leaving, Zhao Fangyu gave Shen Jiyao a promise.
"The original big business will have to be slowed down for now, but if you have any trouble, go to the fourteen states closest to you, and I will be able to receive the news."
Although Longxi and Shuobei are far apart, high-ranking officers and soldiers do meet each other frequently.
Zhao Fangyu's fourteen states have now been opened to Longxi. If there is any emergency, I hope Longxi can send a message and she can provide some financial assistance.
Zhao Fangyu also built a scented dew machine in the palace, but this machine was not often used. It was usually locked in the house in the banana garden and never seen the light of day.
The machine and Zhao Fangyu were both waiting for a suitable opportunity, but at this time there was still one biggest obstacle that had not been resolved.
Shen Jiyao stared at Zhao Fangyu's eyes thoughtfully for two seconds and then laughed heartily: "That's great, but I have to go, and I can't come out empty-handed."
The two of them joked for a while, and Zhao Fangyu asked when Shen Jiyao would leave.
"Just these few days. If there are no problems with Master Wu, we will leave in about three days."
Zhao Fangyu guessed that she still had family arrangements to make, so he didn't keep her long and let her leave with peace of mind.
From time to time, there were banging sounds coming from the martial arts arena. Turning around, they saw Zhou Qinghe and the boxer fighting each other. To be precise, after Zhou Qinghe was beaten unilaterally, he killed one hundred enemies but lost nine thousand of his own.
"Your Highness, are you feeling distressed?"
Zhao Fangyu shook his head: "I was just wondering if we could cover his head. It would be a pity if his face was damaged."
Shen Wan: “…”
Shen Wan couldn't help but glance at Zhou Qinghe's face, and then confirmed Zhao Fangyu's words: "It's really a pity."
Zhou Qinghe's martial arts training intensity was much greater than Zhao Fangyu's. While Zhao Fangyu was bending the bow and shooting arrows and doing horse stance, he was constantly being beaten.
Zhao Fangyu felt distressed and aggrieved at first, but later he got used to it and became calm about it.
After finishing today's martial arts class, Zhao Fangyu finally had the mind to take care of his old friend.
Chunshao was kneeling in front of the hall, with Xingzhi, Nongbo and Shuiying standing beside her serving her.
"Since you have been so considerate in serving me over the years, I will leave you some dignity."
At this time, all the maids outside were driven out, and there were only three little maids and a hanging wall in this area.
Chunshao had been locked up these days and was only released now.
Chunshao bit her lower lip tightly, her brows furrowed when she looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and she kowtowed to Zhao Fangyu to express her gratitude.
"Why didn't you notice what happened to the fifth sister?"
Chun Shao lowered her head silently, as if she felt guilty towards Zhao Fangyu. She kowtowed to Zhao Fangyu again, and then said slowly: "It is the ghost who bewitched me."
She wasn't cheating, she was just jealous.
It was not until the end of Zhao Fangyun's funeral that more than eight months had passed. Xuanbi followed Chunshao's clues and found out what he should have found.
The fact that Chunshao can still kneel here now means that she really cannot betray her master.
She was just jealous, so jealous that she neglected her duties and took advantage of her seniority to bully the newcomers.
Zhao Fangyu listened quietly to Chunshao's confession, counting the cups and plates with his delicate fingers as white as jade.
The light pink nail polish that remained on her fingertips was the one Chunshao had dyed for her more than half a month ago.
"Over the years, you and Xiangyao are the two who have followed me the longest."
She treated them no differently. She was used to Chun Shao's service and kept her by her side, but she didn't expect that she would become an enemy after keeping her around...
Chunshao actually wanted to go out even more.
She was still mumbling, how is Diecui, how is Suer...
After listening for a while, Zhao Fangyu didn't want to listen anymore.
"A maid in an ordinary family gets two taels of silver a month and five new sets of clothes a year. When you were in the Zhao family, you got three taels a month. With the bonus, you can get four or five taels in odds and ends."
"When you arrive at the palace, your monthly salary will be six taels of silver."
Zhao Fangyu's eyes were indifferent. This is how a person's mind is nurtured and grows little by little.
Chunshao may have forgotten that when Zhao Fangyu was still a girl, her allowance was only eight taels per month.
Later, she earned more money, and she was considerate of their hard work, so she was very generous. She gave them 6 taels of silver a month, and if she added the bonus of double calendars during the New Year or other festivals, the head maid would get 6 sets of clothes a year...
If it were an ordinary family, it would probably be more than the monthly allowance of a proper young master.
Unexpectedly, even so, Chunshao still felt that she was biased and that she was deliberately holding her back and not letting her go out to gain experience.
Zhao Fangyu never had this idea.
"Su Re was sent out because she was injured on her face, and she really couldn't stay in the main courtyard. If she leaves me here, where else can she go in the future?"
Su Re is loyal to her master, she can't really let someone be a cook in the kitchen for the rest of her life.
Diecui injured her hand bones and was unable to serve for two months. After two months, the new maids had all gotten used to the job and there was naturally no place for her by Zhao Fangyu's side, so Zhao Fangyu gave her the same opportunity as Suer.
Chunshao was the least injured, and he was in contact with her all over. Even if Zhao Fangyu let go, no one could let her go.
did not expect……
The corners of Zhao Fangyu's lips curled up in a somewhat sarcastic arc, and his eyes looked away.
After all, Chunshao could no longer serve her from now on.
Zhao Fangyu felt a little emotional, but more of a helpless one. After all, things had come to this point, and it was time to make a decision.
She cannot be killed, but she knows so many secrets and cannot be let out.
"Take a bowl of mute medicine and go to the greenhouse to serve."
·
The news of Qian-Gan's border invasion could not be concealed. During lunch, Zhao Fangyu sent people to inquire on the street, only to find out that the people in the capital had already known about the Qian-Gan heavenly fire.
The reason given for Qiangan's border invasion was that it was not the so-called heavenly fire at all, the punishment of evil by the gods, but the work of an undercover agent from Daliang.
The people of Beijing have mixed opinions on this, but most people think:
"Why did you burn the food and fodder but didn't kill those bastards?"
We finally had a peaceful year, but something like this happened before the year was even halfway through. It's not a good sign no matter how you look at it.
Zhao Fangyu thought more far-reachingly and wrote a letter to Nanzhao overnight, asking them to send more food and fodder.
"It's still not enough."
Zhao Fangyu still has too few people under his command. The dozen or so people he originally sent to Nanshao, even though his team has grown to hundreds of people now, are still unable to deal with the various small countries.
"If you want to keep it a secret, you can only take the mountain roads. Mountain roads are dangerous and the loss is high. Large-scale grain sales are easily discovered by local officials, and breaking them down into smaller quantities is not enough."
Zhao Fangyu was a little worried.
This matter is not her business, but she always feels that there is Musk Li in front and Qian Gan behind, which is an inexplicable omen.
This is a fictional world where anything is possible. She can only arm herself as best as possible.
Longxi is her support, but that is her retreat when absolutely necessary. It is more reliable to rely on herself for everything.
Zhao Fangyu thought for a long time and thought of someone.
