Li Qingyi pinched his thigh hard and cried softly: "How will I see anyone in the future..."
After a while, Chang Lan and Shia Lan came in with cotton cloth and looked at her nervously. Shia Lan asked, "What's wrong with the girl? Your Majesty ordered us to come over with cotton cloth and a set of men's clothes."
Chang Lan suddenly saw blood stains on Li Qingyi's body, and rushed to her, saying, "The girl is injured? Why are you only thinking of dealing with it now?!"
As he spoke, he turned over her clothes.
Li Qingyi slapped her dirty hand off and said angrily: "It's not an injury!"
Jionglan staggered and said in horror: "Girl, you are not Guishui, are you? In front of Mr. Qin?"
Li Qingyi returned his hand and gave Isatis a hard blow on the head: "I want you to talk more!"
The two girls were startled for a moment, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.
Silan laughed so hard that she was out of breath: "Girl, you, you actually shed water all over the floor in front of your eyes..."
Changlan was at least more restrained than Isatis, and said: "Don't make trouble, hurry up and help the girl change clothes... Your Excellency is still waiting outside..."
Li Qingyi was so laughed that smoke was rising from his head, and he said angrily: "You two evil servants...see how I deal with you later..."
After a few people finally packed up, Li Qingyi directed Isatis to take out the blood-stained mats and dresses, and whispered: "Find a hidden place to burn them, burn them all for me, do you hear me!"
Silan still couldn't hold back her laughter and nodded repeatedly.
It took Qin Zeng a long time before he returned to the study. His eyes drifted to the desk and out of the window, but he did not dare to look at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi was also extremely depressed. He tried to pretend to be calm, but his stomach accidentally growled for a while.
Qin Zeng couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and finally turned to look at her: "Are you hungry?"
Li Qingyi secretly punched his belly twice in hatred and said a dull "hmm".
Qin Zeng gave her a funny look, and the embarrassment in his heart slowly receded, leaving an unknown emotion, "What do you want to eat?"
"Sweet……"
When Guishui arrives, you will be satisfied with something sweet.
But Li Qingyi felt a little regretful when he said he wanted to eat something sweet.
Why can't I help showing off my little daughterlike attitude in front of him...
Four dishes and one soup was probably the most peaceful meal the two of them had ever had together.
Even Nagasawa felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what was going on and kept observing their faces.
In front of Qin Zeng, Li Qingyi always put down the boudoir behavior and was very relaxed. Every time she saw him, she would babble. Now that something was embarrassing, she couldn't even think about it.
It was Qin Zeng who took the initiative and said, "Lin Wenye indeed owes a gambling debt of twenty thousand taels."
"Twenty thousand taels?" Li Qingyi's embarrassment ran to the back of his mind. "He was tricked, right? How could he owe so much?"
Places like casinos will check the net worth of their regular customers. If the customer's family has a strong foundation, no matter how much money they can squeeze out, they will not get into trouble. Whether there is a backer behind them will all be known.
Ordinary gamblers will be kicked out of the casino if they owe thousands of taels of silver, because no matter how much they lose, the casino cannot recover the debt, and the gambler often ends up losing his life.
Although characters like the prodigal descendants of the Nanning Marquis Mansion are at a higher level, if they lose tens of thousands of taels, someone will persuade them to stop. After all, they are affiliated with the rich and powerful. It will not be easy to solve if the trouble is too ugly. Casinos also look at people. Dishes.
But some people insist on gambling, and it’s no wonder that the gambling house is the reason.
"It is true that someone deliberately lured Lin Wenye into gambling. Guess who it is?"
Li Qingyi frowned and thought for a while, "Lin Wenye is a good guy, and not many people can usually take advantage of him. I heard that Mr. Lin gritted his teeth and refused to take the title of the Lin family. Could it be that the second Mr. Lin wanted to fight for the title and deliberately harmed himself? younger brother?"
She thought for a while and shook her head: "Probably not. Mr. Lin Er can't cheat his own family like this. This
If Lin Wenye couldn't pay the money, the Marquis of Nanning wouldn't have watched his son die. In the end, it was him who bled to get the money. Therefore, it shouldn't be the Lin family who caused the mischief. "
Her mind was spinning rapidly, she looked at Qin Zeng and asked for confirmation: "It seems that Mr. Lin is about to be promoted. Could it be that someone wanted to harm the Lin family and hold him back, so he came up with such a bad idea?"
Qin Zeng rarely showed a smile, "It's almost the same, thank you for thinking so far."...
"Is it true?" Li Qingyi himself was a little surprised, "I just heard that Mrs. Lin went back to her parents' house to live in someone else's house some time ago, but was rejected. She didn't even see Mrs. Lin in person, so I asked a few questions. I heard that Mr. Lin might be fighting for a real job this time?"
There are many kinds of errands, some have great reputations but no real power, and some have bad reputations but can reap benefits from them.
Mr. Lin of the Nanning Marquis Mansion is fighting for the latter.
"Lin Shengyuan wants to fight for the establishment of the Qing officials and envoys."
"The envoy of the camp and repair department?"
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the system of civil construction, the method of using utensils, the method of spacing canals and weirs, and the ceremony of offering billions of dollars to mausoleums. There are four departments under it, among which the Qing Dynasty Department is in charge of the construction and repair of palaces, offices and offices.
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "No one takes care of such a position on ordinary days. Could it be that the emperor intends to build a palace?"
Qin Changchang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Li Qingyi's mind was spinning so fast.
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for civil engineering and water conservancy construction. It seems to have great power and abundant oil and water. However, usually the money is in the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the power is in the hands of the emperor. If there are no projects under construction, there will be no oil and water to speak of.
As for scholars, farmers, commerce, and craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, their status was only a little higher than that of merchants, and they were mostly looked down upon by the scholar-bureaucrats.
However, it would be different if the imperial court had any projects to build. The Ministry of Works is responsible for budgeting materials, handling materials, and handing over projects, etc. Officials can openly "share profits" from each project in proportion.
Each project often costs hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver. In every aspect, if the official in charge loosened his hands a little, hundreds or even thousands of silver would come in and out.
"You are right, the emperor wants to build a nine-story building for Concubine Mu."
"What……"
Li Qingyi looked at Qin Zeng in shock as he built a nine-story building for Concubine Mu. In his previous life, this would have taken several years to happen. How come it was so far in advance?
Could it be that the fourth prince and Mu Ying tricked her last time when the old lady of the Mu family celebrated her birthday, which led Qin Zeng to find out the secret activities of the Mu family first?
She was a little timid.
Things have changed, and I don’t know if the outcome will be the same as in the previous life.
Qin Zeng thought she was surprised because of the Nine-Storied Tower, and said: "The two generals of the Mu family have conquered the southwest this time and have made great military achievements. The Emperor favors Concubine Mu and builds the Nine-Storied Tower for her."
Li Qingyi's thoughts gradually returned and he murmured: "It's cold at high places..."
Does the Jiuzhong Tower mean the immortals in the Nine Heavens?
For Concubine Mu, it was truly a supreme honor, and everyone, including the queen, had to stay away from her for the time being.
But the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
The emperor held her high in order to uproot the Mu family one day.
Qin Zeng snorted, "Even a little girl like you understands the truth, but the Mu family doesn't understand."
Li Qingyi nodded, "Yes, if the Mu family were honest and kept a low profile, and the emperor was a wise king, there would be no way he would...well..."
Why did you let it slip while you were talking?
