"Daddy, I got something today. I heard it's good stuff, but I don't know it. Can daddy help me with my eyes?"
"Nonsense." After scolding him softly, Mo Xiang still relaxed under Mo Zhenzhen's soft touch and asked her to bring the things up.
The little girls following Mo Zhenzhen each held a tray in their hands. When they came in, they all had smiles on their faces, looking young and smart. This was something that was not allowed to exist in the once repressed Prime Minister's Mansion. of.
But now no one scolded them for being unruly, and even Mo Xiang had a smile in his eyes.
When Mo Xiang picked up the teacup and drank tea, Mo Zhenzhen had already personally brought a wooden box over as if offering a treasure, and placed it lightly on the desk in front of Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang put down the tea cup, glanced at Mo Zhenzhen who was smiling to please, and then reached out to open the lid.
The lid was opened, and Mo Xiang's eyes fell on it. He paused for two seconds, and then his expression changed very subtly.
This kind of change requires Mo Zhenzhen to distinguish carefully to see some clues, but even if she can detect the ups and downs of Mo Xiang's mood, she cannot understand the meaning of these ups and downs.
Mo Xiang almost instinctively hid his true emotions, and after a while, as if he had looked carefully enough, he reached out and picked up the contents of the wooden box.
It was a meaty mushroom with a somewhat strange shape. Its skin was dry, slightly cool to the touch, and the whole thing was gray. If this thing hadn't been brought by Taoist monks to sell it, no one would normally have it. Notice it.
But Mo Xiang took it and looked at it carefully for a moment and then put it back. Then he closed the box again. He opened his eyes and asked Mo Zhenzhen a question.
"Where did you get this?"
Mo Zhenzhen noticed the seriousness in Mo Xiang's tone, so she told the origin of this thing in detail, and asked a question afterward.
"Dad, can you give me an estimate of the price of this thing?"
Mo Xiang's expression already indicated that this thing was a good thing. In this case, it must be acquired.
Mo Xiang thought about it and actually quoted her a price.
"This thing can be said to have a price but no market. It is still worth a hundred taels of gold."
Mo Zhenzhen nodded, then waved to the maids behind her, and they came over and put down all the boxes.
Mo Zhenzhen instructed the maids to put the boxes on the ground and put them in place. She seemed to be focusing on these boxes, but in fact she was still observing Mo Xiang out of the corner of her eye.
Mo Zhenzhen could feel that Mo Xiang's attention was also on those boxes. The boxes were all filled with mushrooms, one in each box, thirty-three boxes in total.
After putting the box away, Mo Zhenzhen didn't plan to keep it any longer.
"Then daddy, let me give these to you. If there are any more in the future, I will send them to you."
Mo Zhenzhen didn't ask what this thing was. This was a tacit understanding between her and Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang obviously liked Mo Zhenzhen's knowledge and knowledge. The smile on his face was even better, and he nodded at her. head and let her go.
Isn't Mo Zhenzhen really curious about what those mushrooms are?
Of course she is curious!
Then why didn't she ask?
Of course it's not necessary.
If she asked, he would feel unhappy regardless of whether Mo Xiang answered or not, and she had other channels to know what it was, so why did she have to deal with Mo Xiang's bad luck?
So Mo Zhenzhen simply ignored it and became an obedient and well-behaved daughter, so that she could get more.
Mo Zhenzhen had just returned to Tianxiang Garden and was instructing the steward to take this thing away, and when she set a purchase price of one thousand gold flowers, the steward from the Prime Minister's Mansion came with the accountant.
They came to give Mo Zhenzhen a banknote, which amounted to 50,000 taels of gold. Mo Xiang was quite generous.
Mo Xiang has a lot of deeds to rare treasures, land and houses, but when it comes to real money and silver, it’s really hard to say how much he has.
Now that he has taken out 50,000 taels of gold in silver notes at once, the amount of silver taels stored in the account of the prime minister's house must have been reduced by more than half.
Mo Zhenzhen took the bank note with a smile, and then handed it to the steward, asking her to continue handling the reward.
The housekeeper was also very discerning. After taking the banknote, she respectfully left. Five days later (a round trip time), before Mo Zhenzhen had dinner, a batch of mushrooms was delivered to her. Come over.
This time it was delivered directly to the General's Mansion. Mo Zhenzhen received it personally. There were more than seventy mushrooms sent this time. Mo Zhenzhen drove the other maids out, and then took a mushroom into the ghost palace. .
As soon as she entered the ghost world, she felt a strange sense of oppression.
Mo Zhenzhen glanced around, and then met a pair of alert eyes somewhat unexpectedly.
She almost subconsciously locked onto the cause of this abnormality - the mushrooms she brought in.
Mo Zhenzhen brought the mushroom to her eyes and looked at it carefully. Then she looked at the ghostly employees in front of her and asked with a smile.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
When Mo Zhenzhen asked this question, some of the ghosts couldn't help but showed a fierce look, but they were slapped on the back of the head by the relatively rational ghost around them, which finally woke them up.
The person who answered Mo Zhenzhen's question was the little lady (the little girl who was domestically abused) who appeared next to Mo Zhenzhen at some point and took the mushroom behind her.
The young lady's appearance was so silent that even Mo Zhenzhen didn't notice it, and she easily took away the things in her hands, which made Mo Zhenzhen very wary.
But looking back at the little lady, there was something wrong with her appearance, and her eyes seemed to be redder.
The young lady pinched the mushroom and played with it for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if to calm down, and also said with some emotion.
"I haven't seen this thing in a long time."
"What's this?"
"This is the shell."
Mo Zhenzhen didn't understand, so she was speechless and waited for the young lady's next words.
The young lady didn't show off, she was just a little emotional, so she just paused and explained to Mo Zhenzhen.
"Do you know 'people are dying of hunger'?"
Mo Zhenzhen nodded, of course she knew this, describing the hungry people everywhere due to famine.
The young lady returned the mushroom that was said to be a 'shell' to Mo Zhenzhen, and then gave her some science knowledge on the meaning of 'death by hunger' in another supernatural world.
Here, starvation refers to people who are repeatedly tortured by hunger until they die of despair. These people will turn into starving ghosts after death, and before they turn into starving ghosts, they will undergo a transformation.
Starving ghosts are a type of ghost that will eat anything. The first thing they do when they are born is to eat their own corpses, just like newborn cubs that eat their own eggshells.
Today's update will be later, probably after twelve o'clock. Tan Liang has a stomachache.
