253. Peace of mind to be married

"He's gone."

As the sound of his subordinates hiding in the tunnel knocking on the wall, Zhu Yinglou whispered to his sister.

Zhu Yingtai, who was just focused on "alchemy", was as confident as a god. He instantly deflated, threw down what he had in his hand, and looked at Zhu Yinglou with a gaze.

"How is it? How did I perform just now? Can you scare him?"

Zhu Yinglou looked at such a sister and didn't want to say that even he was frightened just now. He could only say vaguely: "It's probably OK? The light outside is dark, and the inside is so bright. I suddenly saw so much 'gold'. It's not close, and I can't see any flaws."

"That's good."

Zhu Yingtai wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose.

"The next thing depends on Zhao Li's choice."

After she said that, she picked up a piece of "gold" as big as a fist from her feet, shook her head and said, "He can't touch these fake gold. No matter how it looks, it's fake. The weight is wrong first. I have to worry brother and I have to protect the gold properly."

These golds are not rare goods. They are the "fake gold" created by Zhu Yingtai's practice of metal replacement reactions before. Many of them have changed on the surface. After a few days of oxidation, they are no longer so golden.

When she was refining these "fake gold", many servants and other servants in the other courtyards had collected one or two as playthings. The people in the village were already familiar with this "medicine gold".

"And that cold spring."

Zhu Yinglou burst into laughter.

"After all, that's a medicine, right?"

Zhu Yinglou and Zhu Yingtai have a partnership to act, and Zhao Li’s actions are also very fast.

So when Zhu Boyuan was hosting Zhao Li that night, he suddenly said at the table that he fell in love with a maid in the other courtyard and wanted to take Jiankang back to serve him.

Although Zhu Boyuan showed an expression of "Does eunuchs also like women?" on his face, he still agreed to his request. Zhujiazhuang had a family prostitute, and the maid was not a family prostitute. Since the guest made a request, he still had to give this little face.

In the following time, the envoy from Beijing seemed to have forgotten his purpose of coming to Shangyu. Not only did he no longer urge the Zhu family and son to hand over the Zhu family daughter, but he seemed to have lived in peace. He just wandered in the other courtyard without any trouble, and often had an awkward encounter with Zhu Yinglou in the other courtyard.

Gradually, Zhao Li understood the rules of Zhujiazhuang.

There was no one guarding the cellar. It seemed that everyone knew that Zhu Yingtai was refining alchemy there, but because of the previous terrible experience of "frying the stove", no one went there even if he knew it.

The remote courtyard is guarded by heavy troops.

The cold spring was not big. The spring water gushing out from the ground had gradually gathered into a small pond, but now the water in this small pond has almost dried up. The Zhu family waited for enough water to accumulate every three days and would send someone to draw the water up and send it to the cellar.

Every five days or so, many empty boxes will be carried in the cellar, and then boxes containing things will come out.

The boxes that came out were extremely heavy, and often had to be carried by six people together to carry them away, but no one knew where they were carried away, because it was taken away by Zhu Boyuan himself.

Zhao Li calculated in private that if Zhu Yingtai said nothing fancy, then the Zhu family could refine about ten kilograms of gold every day, one kilogram and eighteen taels of gold, and every time they were transported out, it would be a thousand taels of gold!

With so much gold, why does Zhu Boyuan need to surrender to his master? Just use these mountains of gold to clear the way, even if he surrenders to any powerful man in the world, it will be enough.

Not to mention that as long as Zhu Yingtai and that cold spring are still there, there will never be any worries about gold!

Not to mention Zhao Li, even the guards responsible for protecting Zhao Li saw something after accompanying these days. From then on, the eyes of the Zhu family were obviously different.

Finally one day, Zhao Li found a time when no one was left and discussed with these guards.

"I believe you can see that the strength hidden behind Zhujiazhuang is definitely not as good as those on the surface..."

Zhao Li's eyes were full of greed.

"The master just wanted Zhujiazhuang to do business, but he didn't expect Zhujiazhuang to have so much money. If we asked for it openly, Zhujiazhuang would change the flag the next day with these golds, and we would have to lose all the money."

After all, no matter whether that person succeeds or not, he will be like this in his life as a eunuch.

He has no descendants, and even if he gains power, he cannot pass it down, let alone that there are so many people around his master like him.

He was able to stand out because of his affection and loyalty since childhood. If he had the ability, he himself knew that he was not a top player.

It’s different now. Zhujiazhuang has it, but it’s a mountain of gold!

With that gold, no matter who sits in that position, he can live like a god, and he no longer has to worry about falling out of favor and ending up like a stray dog.

Fortunately, no matter how greedy Zhao Li was, he knew that he would not be able to do anything by himself, and he had to win over these people to plan with him.

Those guards also guessed something, and they didn't dare to listen at this time.

"The Zhu Yingtai of Zhujiazhuang can be alchemy, so the master asked us to ask for this woman. But the master didn't know that Zhu Yingtai not only knows how to alchemy, but also turns stones into gold. But since we know, it's God's will. If he doesn't do anything, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Zhu Yingtai's alchemy depends on the cold springs in this villa as a guide, so I deliberately slowed down the pace of forcing Zhu Boyuan so that the legitimate daughter of the Zhu family could be at ease to refine more gold for the family."

He glanced at the guards who came together in the capital with a gloomy gaze.

"I'll ask you, do you want to seek wealth and glory?"

The next day, late at night.

When Zhu Boyuan received a rumor from his confidant that Zhao Li came to visit at night and intended to talk to him in private, the owner of the manor who had always been happy and angry was rarely seen, and he showed a look of joy.

The bureau has been set up, and he was originally worried that Zhao Li was a loyal person. Not only would he not be able to take a trap, but he would also send people to Beijing to deliver messages. He even ordered Zhu Ada and others to be prepared to intercept the messenger.

Now it seems that these people are not available.

"Please invite him to the quiet room."

Zhu Boyuan touched his beard with satisfaction.

He didn't expect that his daughter's interest in playing could actually play such a role.

But when he thought of her stubbornness and the tossing spirit, Zhu Boyuan still couldn't completely relax.

"Let Yinglou tell Jiuniang that she can be married with peace of mind!"

Zhu Boyuan felt that it was her previous saying that she wanted to expel her from the house and then she turned her mind and began to obey.

"Before the matter is over, I said I would expel her from the house before, and it is not a joke!"

***

It was obvious that he had made an appointment to break the engagement, but suddenly he became a waiting to marry again?

Ma Wen felt confused after receiving the letter.

Even though the official ship had arrived in Jiankang safely, had completed all the procedures and was welcomed by the officials of the Imperial College, Ma Wencai was still in a state of frequent distraction.

After leaving Kuaiji for a long time, it was like being farther and farther away from his fate in his previous life. Sometimes Ma Wen even gave birth to the idea that he just pretended nothing had happened, and it was a good idea to just live like this.

But soon, reality will always remind him that he still has countless plans and countless plans, he needs people, money, and more "momentum"...

He is a person who cannot be "idle".

Only wealth and honor can support idle people, but he is still far from "wealth and honor".

"Who did Yingtai give the medicine?"

Looking at the letter sent by the Zhu family, Ma Wencai was thinking about all possibilities over and over again in his mind.

Until he thought of Liang Shanbo, the death of Liang Shanbo in his previous life.

Speaking of which, he had never met Liang Shanbo in his previous life. When he knew this person, he had been dead for a while.

Perhaps he was a good official in the local area. After he vomited blood and died, many people in the county went to see him off. The official reputation and the reputation were good, and he became more and more like a villain who captured people's love.

In this life, he had become friends with Liang Shanbo, so he naturally knew that Liang Shanbo's health was not that bad, and he was not the kind of narrow-minded person who always "drinks blood".

So it is really doubtful how Liang Shanbo died in his previous life.

According to Ma Wencai's inference, Liang Shanbo died young in his previous life, either because he got the "book" and was killed by the Linchuan King's people, or if Zhujiazhuang discovered that this kid had a delusion about Zhu Yingtai and secretly attacked him.

No matter which one it is, Liang Shanbo's death is artificial.

In this life, Liang Shanbo didn't know that Zhu Yingtai was a woman, and all kinds of delusions were just a cloud of thoughts. Zhu's family was the order of the capital. With his "prompt points", the Zhu family would not lean to that place again for a while, and would always find ways to delay.

He believed that with Liang Shanbo's ability, it was only a matter of time to settle the position of the county magistrate of Yin County.

But what if something happened that Liang Shanbo could not solve with his own ability when he didn't know? What if Liang Shanbo asked Zhu Yingtai for help?

With Zhu Yingtai's personality, you don't have to think about what choices you will make.

"Xiyu, will I ask you to arrange for someone who pays attention to the safety of Liangshanbo in Yin County to reply?"

Ma Wencai asked Xiyu with a calm face.

"The previous letter said that Liang Shanbo was collecting debts, and there was no major problem."

The drizzle replied.

"The letter from the future is still on the road because the journey is long and I'm afraid it will take a few days to arrive."

The biggest problem with Ma Wencai now is that the distance is too far. Whether it is Zhu Yingtai or Liang Shanbo, he is far behind. Even if there is a channel for Ranger to deliver the letter, it will take a lot of time to get their news.

Holding the letter sent by the Zhu family, Ma Wen closed his eyes and pondered.

He thought of Fushanyan, Fu Qi, who had become the only son in his two lives, and those things that should have changed but returned to the original context.

If the medicine is given to Liang Shanbo, no matter what, Liang Shanbo will "drunk blood and die".

"If God makes everything impossible to change..."

Ma Wen opened his eyes.

He had already made a decision and stroked the word "waiting to marry" in the letter, his eyes full of crazy expressions.

"Then I'll let everything happen again as I want!"
