Keyboard Immortal - 269. Chapter 268
“This…” After seeing those words clearly, Zu An was stunned. This seems to be her mastery of housekeeping, right?
Chu Chuyan’s face was reddened, she moved her face to the other side and stopped looking at him, pretending not to care, and said, “I’m just afraid that you died in the hands of that Chen Xuan and no one will come to treat me.”
Zuan laughed and took the booklet directly into his arms: “I naturally want to keep such precious things personally.”
Seeing that he was so cautious in receiving, Chu Chuyan nodded with satisfaction: “Let’s watch it first. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask me. After all, I have learned it first, so I have more experience in this area.”
Zuan patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, what kind of aptitude is your husband and me? There are no things I can’t understand. I will definitely learn it soon.”
Chu Chuyan: “…”
Don’t you know what your qualifications are? They were all assigned to the yellow character class by the college.
She only treats the other party as a man, good face and unwilling to admit defeat, and she can’t say anything, thinking in her heart to find a suitable opportunity to help him from the side in the future.
“By the way, this cheat book is ready, don’t lose it.” Chu Chuyan couldn’t help reminding him thinking of this guy’s arrogant temperament.
“What’s wrong, is this book a secret from your Chu family? Isn’t it a bit too sloppy to teach me?” Zuan leaned forward with a smile on her face.
Chu Chuyan shrank back, avoiding it unnaturally: “Don’t think too much about it. After all, you are the aunt of the Chu family, and you are not an outsider. It makes sense for you, as long as you don’t…don’t use it to teach. Those women outside will do.”
Zuan raised his eyebrows: “Are you jealous?”
“If you are fine, I will leave first.” Chu Chuyan blushed and turned and left, obviously not used to talking about this with him.
“Wait a minute,” Zuan hurriedly took her hand, the smile on her face gradually faded, and said with a serious face, “The Chu family is now so embarrassed to donate. I don’t know how much money to donate? I still have some small money here. It can help the Chu family tide over the difficulties.”
Chu Chuyan shook his hand subconsciously, but did not take it off, so he had no choice but to let him: “You should keep the money for yourself. No matter how desolate the Chu family is, you won’t be able to use your uncle’s private money.”
Zuan: “…”
Why does this sound so awkward? It’s like those men in the ancient times said that no matter how hard the family is, they wouldn’t use the wife’s dowry.
Seeing him startled, Chu Chuyan thought he was hurt by his self-esteem, and hurriedly said, “Don’t think too much about it. After all, the Chu family has a big family. The bold shock affected some income.”
“In addition, during this period of time, private salt was extremely proliferation, which caused the Chu family’s salt to be unable to sell, so I felt a headache.”
“Private salt?” Zu An was startled, obviously not understanding what was going on.
Chu Chuyan explained to him: “According to the court’s decree, after the salt is boiled by the salt farmers in the salt farm, it is purchased by the official or its agent. Whether it is transported or sold, it must be purchased from the court. Legal; the salt circulated in other ways is private salt, which is strictly prohibited.”
“It’s a pity that private salt is cheap, and the people are definitely willing to buy private salt, so I can’t stop it. Coupled with the smuggling of salt, the profits are huge, and many desperadoes have followed suit.”
She never said this to other people before, and she carried all the responsibilities on her shoulders, but now she subconsciously talked to Zuan, thinking that the experience in the secret realm made her subconsciously believe that the other party is reliable and can help her share her worries. .
Zu’an couldn’t help sighing: “The private salt sold by others is so much cheaper than your official salt, and the result is still very lucrative. Wouldn’t it be better if you lower the price a little? This way, private salt has no room for survival. Who wants to take risks? Go buy private salt.”
“It’s not easy,” Chu Chuyan sighed quietly, “Do you think we want to set the salt price so high? The cost of official salt is much higher than private salt in all aspects, let alone those in officialdom. As far as the salt introduction is concerned, we need to pay 1.5 taels of silver to the government for one piece of salt, and one yuan of salt is about 200 jin. We don’t know how much money we spend on salt every year.”
“In addition, sometimes the salt quotation is not enough. It is necessary to advance the share of the next few years. The advance payment of a salt quotation needs to be based on the previous 1.5 taels and an additional 2.1 taels. These are all imposed on us by the court. the cost of.”
“There are big heads like donations, but in the end they are also spread into the cost.”
“You can get a rough sense of how expensive the official salt is.” Chu Chuyan said of these treasures. “We collect the boiled salt from the salt farmers and pay them only 10 cents per catty from beginning to end. , After being apportioned by various costs, the price per catty of the salt we finally sold fluctuates depending on the situation, roughly between 100 wen to 300 wen. Only in this way can we make a profit.”
“Private salt does not need to pay those high costs, so they can sell it for 20 or 30 jin per catty, so naturally no one will buy-official salt.”
Zu’an stared at her blankly. He didn’t expect that Chu Chuyan, who was usually as elegant as a dust fairy, would be so clear about these business affairs, even accurate to every sentence.
“What are you looking at me for?” Chu Chuyan also noticed the expression in his eyes, her cheeks could not help but become slightly hot.
Zuan gently shook her hand and said affectionately: “You must have been very hard working on this huge Chu family by yourself these years.”
Perhaps it was because of severe injuries during this period that both physically and mentally, they became a bit weaker than before.
Chu Chuyan felt sore when she heard the other party’s words, and she hadn’t told anyone about her suffering all these years.
You must know that what she likes is spiritual practice, but she has to devote a large part of her energy to the management of the Chu family.
If not, with her aptitude, I am afraid that her cultivation level will be even higher.
And she obviously likes to read those romantic scripts since she was a child, and like other little girls, she likes all kinds of romantic and cute things.
But in order to impose her majesty, she had to disguise herself with indifference and arrogance since she was a child. As time passed, she didn’t even know who she was.
“It’s okay, I’ve long been used to it.” Chu Chuyan took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and turned his head aside, lest the other party see her slightly moist eyes.
Zuan said in a deep voice, “From now on, it’s different from before. Because you have me, I will help you to share and solve these difficulties.”
Noting his hot eyes, Chu Chuyan suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and subconsciously pushed him away: “Sorry, I said too much today.”
He didn’t wait for him to answer, and ran away without looking back.
It made Zuan look dumbfounded. This is a few meanings. I think it’s a vow with a look, you can give me some answer!
Looking at Chu Chuyan’s disappearing back, Zuan rubbed his chin and smiled at the overbearing president drama he had seen in his previous life: “Woman, you have successfully attracted the attention of this young man!”
After coming out of the study, Zuan only felt his stomach groaning, and he realized that no one from the Chu family called him to eat.
Qin Wanru definitely didn’t want to see him because of what happened just now, so naturally he would not call him to eat together.
Others are furious when they see his wife, and no one will touch the mold without having eyesight at this time.
So Zuan seems to have been forgotten now.
After thinking about it, he decided to go out. Since the house is not full, he went outside to find some wild food.
Didn’t Qiu Honglei invite him? It happened to go to her for a meal, and the conch of Shangliuyu was still with her!
I asked for an invitation from Cheng Shou Ping. When he heard that he was going to Shenxianju, Cheng Shou Ping was dumbfounded: “Uncle, the husband was furious just now. Wouldn’t it be bad to go now?”
“If you don’t tell me, how can Madam know?” Zuan snorted, “Besides, the matter that Madam was angry just now has been resolved, so don’t worry.”
Although he said lightly, Cheng Shouping still couldn’t believe it.
“Didn’t you say that you were going to Shenxianju to call you together last time? Let’s see how your uncle cares about you. Let’s go to meet the world with your uncle.” Zuan patted Shou Ping on the shoulder.
Cheng Shou Ping was so scared that his bones fell apart: “Uncle, you should spare me. I want to live a few more years.”
Not to mention how the second lady would smoke him if he knew that he and his uncle went to the Shenxianju, just say that the husband was so angry just now because of this incident, and she has no heart and lungs, and she doesn’t dare to be in trouble at this time.
When the time comes, maybe the identity of the uncle will be there, and it will be enough to be reprimanded and punished;
But I am such a small servant, it is easy to be dragged to the wood house and killed by the fish.
Seeing that he didn’t want to be together, Zuan didn’t bother to care about him anymore, and went out on his own.
But Jiao Shan and the three guards who were sent to protect him immediately surrounded him. When they learned that he was going to Shenxianju, they all persuaded him:
“Auntie, this road is too dangerous.”
“Yes, Chen Xuan hid in the dark to kill you. He couldn’t do anything at the academy or the Chu family. Before, there were a large number of guards on the way back from the academy to the Chu family. But if we go out now, it will be the three of us. Is it clear that Chen Xuan will be assassinated?”
“Yeah, the three of us are good at dealing with ordinary people, but Chen Xuan is a sixth-rank, and he is so fascinating, I’m afraid I can’t protect my uncle comprehensively.”
…
Hearing several people persuading each other bitterly, Zuan didn’t take it seriously: “Don’t worry, I will protect you when the time comes.”
After speaking, he swaggered out the door.
Jiao Shanhe: “…”
Feng Daniu: “…”
Zhou Lujun: “…”
Auntie, this guy was really dazzled by the beauty, and even went to see that Qiu Honglei at such a big risk.
What a knife on the head of sex!
Several people were slanderous, but they were responsible and had to follow.
Seeing the successive anger points received by several people in the background, Zuan didn’t bother to explain.
He also considered a lot about Chen Xuan. Only Thousand Days is a thief, there is no reason for Thousand Days to guard against thieves.
He had already thought of a solution once and for all, what was lacking now was to lure him out.
But now he went to Shenxianju to deliberately give Chen Xuan a chance to assassinate him.
