In Yanfu Palace, Queen Cao looked at the mirror that was taller than her in front of her, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
No woman doesn't like to be beautiful.
Even though Empress Cao prefers power, if she can make herself more beautiful, she will never refuse.
The mirror in front of her was exchanged by her from the third floor of Huaxia Store. Previously, Su Shi had sent someone to deliver 2,000 industrial tickets, which was equivalent to 200,000 yuan.
However, because industrial tickets require very stringent conditions to be redeemed, in comparison, an industrial ticket with a face value of two thousand is worth 600,000 yuan.
He took out one thousand yuan and exchanged it for a mirror, which he placed in front of her, reflecting her face in it.
"Queen, I have to say that the ancient clock is better. It's so big. If you put it here, you can tell the time at any time."
"There is also that thing called a bicycle. I heard that people can travel hundreds of miles a day on it. It is not much faster than riding a horse, or even faster. It is a wonderful thing."
"By the way, there is also the set of transparent cups. They are extraordinary at first glance. If they can be used to entertain guests, they will be absolutely decent."
"And, and..."
At this moment, Maid Fan transformed into a talkative person. Perhaps because she saw that Queen Cao was in a good mood, she kept chattering.
After all, she was still a child. After Fan Ying went to the third floor of Huaxia Store, she was surprised by the dazzling array of products there. To say that her favorites were those puppets. In comparison to each other, some
They are not much different in size than her, and they are all cute and cute. It must be very fun to hold them in your arms.
Went for a
After going to the Huaxia Store, Fan Ying's mouth was not idle for a moment until she noticed that Queen Cao seemed to frown, and she immediately stopped talking.
"That place called Huaxia Store, does it really have so many good things?" Queen Cao finally spoke. After being told by Fan Ying, she now wanted to go there and have a look.
"Yes, in fact there are many more. It's just that the slaves are too ignorant and some of them don't even know what they are called or what they are used for." Fan Ying replied quickly.
"Oh, with so many good things, doesn't it mean that many people will like it?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people. The counter on the third floor is already very long, but there are still many people crowded there and watching. When the slave went there, she could hardly stand." Fan Ying was still talking about what she had seen.
But at this moment, Queen Cao's thoughts had already flown to another place.
That is, if there are so many attractive and good things, how many people can be attracted by using this thing?
It's a pity that these things are not hers. Su Shi has always been unwilling to use them for her, and the relationship with him has always been at odds.
Regarding Su Shi, at the beginning, Empress Cao only had the idea of making some money from him, but now, she had to change her attitude and admit in her heart that this Su Shi was very powerful.
Whether he is leading troops in war or doing business, he is an absolute master.
If such a person can be used by her, it will definitely make her even more powerful.
With Su Shi's help, she can win over more people to her advantage. At that time, with her own status, what else can she do inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the palace?
Can’t have the final say?
Empress Cao even thought about the idea of attacking Su Shi, and even thought that as long as she really showed her face and had a long talk with Su Shi, she should be able to persuade him.
Su Shi no longer has any power. As long as he promises him and is willing to give him power, how can he not be tempted.
As for Su Shi’s relationship with King Jing being very good?
Haha, this is not in the eyes of Empress Cao at all. People who want to be emperors will not have any personal feelings.
Su Shi and Zhao Xi are just using each other.
Zhao Xi was interested in Su Shi being rich and wanted to take advantage of it.
Su Shi took a fancy to Zhao Xi's young age and wanted to seize power.
Even if they can use each other to cooperate, why can't I cooperate with Su Shi?
How long will it take for you to stand out after following a little brat who still has no power?
If she can follow her, then when Zhao Zhen is old, she can become the empress dowager, and then it will not be impossible to control the government and sideline Zhao Xi.
If Zhao Xi is disobedient at that time, it is not impossible to replace him with someone who is obedient.
Empress Cao's obsession with power is something that others cannot understand. But precisely because she is ambitious, she is more cautious when doing things. She does not want others to discover her intentions before she has enough power.
If you don't want to be discovered by others, especially if you don't want Zhao Zhen to discover your thoughts, you can't win over Su Shi in a big way now.
If he did it just because he did it for no other reason, it would only make Zhao Zhen wary. If so, then the things he had worked hard for for many years would probably be in vain.
Zhao Zhen seems to be a kind person
, but once it comes to matters where the imperial power is threatened, he is a person who can be ruthless.
"That's all, that's all, let Su Shi develop first. When the time comes, everything you have now will be a share of this palace." With this thought in her heart, Queen Cao once again looked at the man in front of her.
Looking in the tall mirror, I continued to admire my own face that was not beautiful, but had enough temperament.
...
God bless the alley.
The Su Mansion, which had been bustling for a day, returned to calm.
There are more officials coming to Su Mansion every day than before.
Most of them came here to build connections, so that they could establish friendship with Su Shi and get some industrial tickets.
Ever since the family members of those dignitaries went to the third floor of the Huaxia Store, it seemed that nothing was good to see. What they were thinking about were the strange goods on the counter on the third floor.
In particular, Li Zhang, who was very filial, had made a lot of money in the Rencha business in cooperation with Su Shi over the years.
This time, in order to celebrate my mother's birthday, I used all my connections, and even used four times the cash to exchange Hua Xia Bank stubs in the hands of others. In the end, it was still not enough, so I asked Su Shi again, and finally collected 6,000 yuan.
Yuan industrial tickets were exchanged for a very beautiful women's bicycle.
In fact, Li Zhang's mother was not very old, only fifty years old. She actually learned to ride a bicycle, and then every day when she had nothing to do, she would ride this women's bicycle to visit various houses.
How many noble ladies have been ruined.
So much so that whenever those ministers return home, they hear
They were all industrial votes, industrial votes. There was a joke about this. When a minister wrote a memorial to Renzong, he didn't know what happened, so he wrote three more words "industrial votes" in it.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was always tolerant to his ministers, so he was not held accountable.
In order to be able to go home and do business, all the ministers were thinking about how to get some industrial tickets during their free time. In the end, some people simply took a shortcut and went straight to Tianyou Alley, just to get it from Su Shi.
Some.
Su Shi would often give face to these people who came with a request, exchanging several hundred industrial tickets for them.
But that's all. Su Shi will not break the rules of the game for this.
The purpose of taking out these things is to make Hua Xia Bank recognized by everyone, not to sell face to everyone. If everyone can exchange it for industrial tickets from themselves, who will ultimately save money and go to the bank? This is putting the cart before the horse.
, Su Shi will not do it.
But even though one person can exchange hundreds of bills here, there is still an endless stream of people coming to the door every day, so Su Shi has to deal with it every day.
As time went by, Su Shi became a little annoyed. Just at this time, Yuan Xiaotou sent news, saying that Hua Xia Bank's entry into the north was very smooth, but when it entered the south, it encountered a lot of resistance.
, he decided to take this free opportunity to go to the Southland to have a look.
Speaking of which, after Su Shi came to the Song Dynasty, he went to the north twice, but never to the south once.
People had always heard people say that the southern part of the Song Dynasty was very rich. Su Shi also yearned for it, so he decided to take this opportunity to go and have a look.
And even in the dead of night, Su Shi had already hit
During the break, at some point, Bai Xing appeared outside his wing. He looked at the roof with a nervous look on his face and shouted, "Who is so sneaky? Now that he's here, how can he not even meet him?"
Don’t you dare to show it?”
When Bai Xing shouted, Lou Yang, the Longhu brothers and others rushed out with weapons, and even Yue Siling also rushed out with a long sword.
These days, Lou Yang and the others have been practicing hard, and their current strength has improved somewhat compared to before.
As soon as Lou Yang appeared and saw Bai Xing's cautious and vigilant look, he knew that a powerful enemy was coming. He was immediately ready to blow his whistle to call over the Class A guards who lived not far away.
There are only a hundred Grade A guards.
But all of them have the strength of first-class masters.
With so many top-notch masters appearing together, even the most peerless masters will only come back defeated.
"Okay, why are you so nervous? Besides, I didn't hide my face."
Just when everyone's nerves were tense and Lou Yang was about to shake people at any moment, a woman's voice came from the roof, and Ye Lengchan appeared in everyone's sight with a half-moon scimitar in her hand.
"Sister Ye."
When he saw Ye Lengchan coming, Yue Siling's face was filled with joy and he let out a soft cry.
"Hey, Sister Yue, you can't do it, why are you still a girl?" Ye Lengchan saw Yue Siling and immediately teased her with a smile.
Yue Siling's face turned red immediately.
She is already eighteen years old and is already a big girl. According to what Su Shi said before, she will want you when you grow up, so she should have shared a room with Su Shi long ago.
But for some reason, Su Shi didn't make such a request. After all, Yue Siling was also a
As a girl, she couldn't just strip herself naked and send it to her door.
It was true that Yue Siling had never thought about it this way, but what she was worried about was that if she really did this, and if Su Shi still refused, would she still have the face to see others?
