Xie Zhan sneered, "As the saying goes, three years of clearing the county magistrate will cost you one hundred thousand snowflakes. That Mr. Zhao is not a small official like the county magistrate."

Mr. Zhao was very wealthy when he took office. Even though he did not lose any money in taxes paid every year, a quick inquiry would reveal that he was secretly corrupt.

It’s just that we don’t have to pay less taxes, and it’s managed from top to bottom, so most people don’t know, and all they know is just turn a blind eye.

Originally, Xie Zhan didn't want to pay attention to Master Zhao's little move.

In fact, his little moves are those of local officials, so they will be contaminated to some extent. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

As long as you don't do too much and don't fall into the hands of the censor, you can just turn a blind eye and pass by.

But now...

If Mr. Zhao got into his hands, don't blame him for killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Although he has some foundation, his power is nothing in Xie Zhan's eyes, not to mention that he has not slandered others.

Mingxiu believed that Xie Zhan would not deceive him about this kind of thing. Since he said so, there is a high probability that it is true.

Suddenly, the banknote in my hand felt hot to the touch.

"This... is the legendary people's fat and people's anointing?"

"what you think?"

Relying on the Zhao family's small business, even if they save for eight to ten years, they probably won't be able to save thirty thousand taels of silver.

Mingxiu's current property is much more profitable than the Zhao family's. It's not impossible to take out thirty thousand taels in one go, but it's also a bit laborious.

Also because Mr. Zhao has been transferred to the capital now, their family's ways of making money are not as extensive as when he was in office, and there are more places to run money in the capital, so Mingxiu's idea was taken.

In fact, it is not wrong. From all aspects, it is understandable for the Zhao family to choose Mingxiu.

"Then... what should we do?" It would be fine if it was really the money from the Zhao family's own business, but when he thought of the money being paid by the people, Mingxiu had no shame in using it.

Xie Zhan's reaction was dull, "Last year there were frequent disasters, and there were many homeless and beggars inside and outside the capital. Although the court also provided resettlement, there were still more monks and less meat. If you are willing, just give them to those who can't survive."

.”

It would also be a good thing for her to accumulate some reputation among the people.

Even thanks to Qu Yuuli's contribution, Mingxiu already has a good reputation among the people.

But who can have too much of this?

Mingxiu thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

"Then I'll go back and organize things."

It was made clear that Xie Zhan called her here because of Mr. Zhao's affairs. Mr. Zhao had already left this time, and there was no point in Mingxiu staying longer.

"Wait a minute." Xie Zhan stopped her, his ears turning a little red, "I've tidied up a yard for you. Go and see if there's anything inappropriate. If you don't like it, I can have it changed."

"I don't live with you, so why are you cleaning the yard for me?"

Mingxiu didn't know why, and didn't quite understand why Xie Zhan made such trouble again. Could it be that he has been idle recently?

"...I'm also planning for you to marry me." Xie Zhan's eyes were a little dodgey and he didn't dare to look at her. "Instead of having to deal with it in a hurry, it's better to make plans earlier."

Although he also knows that no one will live in it now that it has been cleaned up, but at least it is a hope, right?

Now Mingxiu really felt that he had to make things clear.

"Have you forgotten everything I told you?"

She was indeed willing to marry Xie Zhan, but definitely not when he was still the powerful regent.

Have you been having a lot of troubles recently?

"I have already resigned from the Emperor, but I haven't been able to get out of it in recent years. But I have put down political affairs, and the Emperor will not let me take it back."

Mingxiu believed this. Even if the emperor believed in Xie Zhan, he would not allow him to hold power all the time.

Especially now that Xie Zhan is about to abdicate.

Mingxiu's mind changed and she roughly understood why Xie Zhan still couldn't escape.

She thought about it in her mind and said, "You know me, I don't like to be trapped in the house all day long, only guarding this three-quarter acre of land." She had something she wanted to do.

Being trapped in this four-dimensional sky makes me feel depressed just thinking about it.

And Mingxiu's character doesn't like to be restrained.

But the problem is that if you become a princess, it is obviously impossible to become a merchant.

It was impossible for Xie Zhan not to notice that her attitude had relaxed, and he stepped forward to grab her hand with some excitement, "You can do whatever you want, I won't restrain you. If anyone has any objections to this..." he said at the corner of his mouth

With a sarcastic twist, he said, "Just let him tell me."

The earlier misunderstanding has been resolved, but now it seems a little unreasonable to continue to refuse blindly.

Mingxiu's cheeks became hot, and she lowered her head and said, "I...my husband cannot take concubines."

And people like Xie Zhan, who have lived in the imperial city since childhood, have become accustomed to being surrounded by concubines. Even if they can agree to it a few years ago, what can they do later?

In the final analysis, Mingxiu just doesn't believe that in this patriarchal society, any man would be willing to live with only one woman if conditions permit.

Everything is fine with them now, but what about when there are conflicts?

Ye Ziming can be regarded as a rare good man in this world, but when Miao Manman started making trouble with him, didn't she resist taking a concubine?

Speaking of which, Mingxiu's temper is no better than Miao Manman's, and is even more stubborn than her.

Once Xie Zhan takes a concubine, the two of them will definitely not be able to live together.

Xie Zhan's wife, who can be called Xie Zhan, wants to divorce, or to be divorced, but how easy is it?

"I'm not a lecherous person. I just find the women next to me troublesome." Xie Zhan was very sincere. He already understood Mingxiu's persistence long before he knew about his friendship with Mingxiu.

He also asked himself when he first understood his thoughts, and the answer he got was yes.

But Xie Zhan also knows that it is useless to just talk about this kind of thing. The most important thing is to do it.

He thought for a while and said: "I can hand over all my property to your hands, and let you know all my power. If I feel sorry for you in the future, you can propose separation, and I will never stand in the way.

"

Xie Zhan is very confident in himself. At the age when he was most prone to making mistakes, he didn't even have a concubine by his side, let alone now.

As for Princess Zhen.

Her only request is that Xie Zhan can have an heir. As long as Mingxiu can give birth, all problems will not be a problem.

He took everything into consideration and just waited for Mingxiu's nod.

"Then what about Princess Zhen..."

Concubine Zhen had been dissatisfied with her for more than a day or two. Back then...

Although she really didn't want to admit it, Mingxiu was a little afraid of Princess Zhen, and she was also a little unhappy at the same time.

There is a knot in her heart, but at least for now, Mingxiu has not found a way to solve it.

Is this a relief?!

Xie Zhan suppressed the joy in his heart, "My mother-in-law has accepted you. If you don't believe it, you will know when you come to the palace with me next time. We are not young anymore. Let your parents come to the palace another day and follow me."

Mother and concubine, let’s discuss it and get the wedding done!”

He has been waiting for too long and can't wait to marry Mingxiu home.

I'm afraid something will happen again later.

After all, in Mingxiu's situation, there are many people who want to marry him.
