After the cannon fodder prostitute was reborn, she was favored by the entire royal family
Chapter 25: Having a son like me is a burden
"Miss, please tell me, even if Yin Luan goes through fire and water, he will still finish it." Yin Luan promised with firm eyes.
"It's not that exaggerated. You just need to be careful and don't let anyone notice it." Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Yin Luan under the cover of her sleeves.
Yin Luan was stunned and quickly refused, "Miss, what do you mean?"
"I want you to purchase enough charcoal grain for hundreds of thousands of people to survive the winter in two years, go to the south to purchase it, transport it back quietly, and store it in the capital and surrounding towns. Don't let anyone notice that you are purchasing these things in large quantities."
Yin Luan didn't understand why Su Xiaoxiao wanted to buy so much charcoal food, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just asked: "Miss, what kind of charcoal food do you want?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "Prepare all three types and purchase according to your best ability. Don't worry about the money. Someone will send it to you in three months."
In the novel, charcoal fires are divided into three categories:
Stove charcoal - the lowest grade and the most commonly used type of charcoal. This type of charcoal has high moisture and produces thick smoke when burned. Therefore, it is mostly used for cooking on stoves or for heating in ordinary people's homes.
Gray flower charcoal - medium grade, generally used indoors, the price is about half higher than that of stove charcoal, its charcoal is gray, less smokey, and is mostly used by middle-class households.
Silver bone charcoal - high-quality charcoal, charcoal white frost, smokeless, flame retardant, not easy to extinguish, it is used by the noble families of the princes and grandchildren.
Yin Luan took the banknote and said, "Miss, please rest assured that Yin Luan will definitely live up to the trust of the lady."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Remember not to arouse anyone's suspicion."
"Yes, miss."
These banknotes were sent to Zhang Dazhuang's house by Su Nan and left to Zhang Dazhuang.
After all, it was spent until there was less than five hundred taels left.
And with this little money, I can't even buy enough silver bone charcoal for one person to spend the winter.
She must find a way to make money as soon as possible.
After explaining to Yin Luan, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and took the jade pendant given to her by Mu Changfeng to the county magistrate's house.
After the guard at the door saw the jade pendant, he immediately led Su Xiaoxiao in.
When Mu Changfeng heard the report, he immediately came out and said, "Miss Su."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "I hope Mr. Mu won't take offense to the sudden interruption."
Mu Changfeng said quickly: "Ms. Su can come. It's too late for Mu to be happy. How can I be surprised?"
"Mr. Mu, I wonder where your father is now?"
When Mu Changfeng heard this, his eyes filled with sadness, "Miss Su, please come with me."
Su Xiaoxiao followed Mu Changfeng along the corridor to Mu Lan's room.
"Father fell asleep again while handling official duties today." Mu Changfeng looked at his father who was sleeping on the bed, his eyes filled with worry.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked at Mu Lan's face carefully, bent down and opened his eyelids to take a look, took Mu Lan's hand and started to feel for his pulse.
Mu Changfeng looked at her nervously and breathed softly.
After a while, Su Xiaoxiao put Mu Lan's hand back into the quilt and frowned slightly.
Judging from the pulse condition, Mulan's body is indeed fine.
But in the novel, he suddenly fell ill on his birthday next month, and as Mu Changfeng said he was inexplicably lethargic, he was easily hungry but couldn't eat much...
Seeing her frown, Mu Changfeng's heart suddenly jumped, "Miss Su, what is my father?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled softly: "Your Majesty's body is indeed incompetent..."
He was about to say that Mu Lan was fine, but his words suddenly stopped.
In the novel, until the finale, Mu Lan is still alive and well.
But at the birthday party, he suddenly fell ill, and all the doctors in the county were helpless, but Xuanyuan Yi came to save him.
At that time, the calculation was accurate.
But Mu Changfeng's business talent was only discovered after Xuanyuan Yi rescued Mu Lan.
Prior to this, there was no description of Mu Changfeng in the book.
Is it really a coincidence that Xuanyuan Yi saves Mu Lan?
No, that's not right, there is a kind of poison that can make people gradually sleepy, their bodies gradually become hollowed out, and they may become seriously ill and on the verge of death, but they will not actually die.
This kind of poison cannot be discovered by ordinary doctors at all.
"Miss Su, is my father feeling ill?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It is almost certain that your father was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Mu Changfeng's pupils shrank, "Is it possible to cure it?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, took out a silver needle and a white jade bottle from his sleeve, "I can solve it."
As she spoke, she pierced Mu Lan's neck with a silver needle, picked out a drop of red blood and put it into a white jade bottle.
After thinking for a while, she continued: "Mr. Mu, judging from the symptoms, your father was poisoned not long ago. I will develop an antidote as soon as possible."
Mu Changfeng said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Su. If Miss Su asks for the herbs needed to detoxify, Changfeng will definitely find them."
Su Xiaoxiao had envy in her eyes: "Master Mu is so filial, the county magistrate is really lucky."
This is a family affection she will never experience.
When Mu Changfeng heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, having a son like me is not a blessing, but a drag."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She didn't know much about Mu Changfeng in her previous life.
In the novel, there is very little introduction to him. We only know that after Xuanyuan Yi rescued Mu Lan, he loyally planned for Xuanyuan Yi.
It can be said that regardless of the halo of the male and female protagonists in the novel, without him, Xuanyuan Yi would not be able to find the antidote and compete with Xuanyuan Qingmu.
After all, it is difficult to calculate the financial resources spent on finding medicines.
Mu Changfeng saw that Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything for a long time, thinking that she didn't believe him, so he closed his eyes and suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, and continued: "My mother died of a massive hemorrhage when I was born, and I was born weak and almost didn't survive.
Everyone advised my father to give up, but my father never thought of giving up on me. He took me everywhere to seek medical treatment, dispersed all the family property, and went to the deep mountains and cold pools in the cold winter to collect medicine for me.
It was probably my father's sincerity that moved God. As I grew up, my father only took the exam to be a county magistrate in order to give me a stable life, in order to prevent me from being bullied by the nobles in the capital.
My father had great ambitions and devoted himself to serving the people. For me, he gave up what he had held on to for half his life..."
