The general will eat grass

When Wan heard the news that Mrs. Dingguo had handed over some matters of Jishui County to Zhao Yuansong, her face was distorted with anger.Her confidant girl stood aside, looked at her face with small eyes and said: "Miss, it's not easy to be a step-wife, please bear with it. People are preconceived, and the old young lady used to stay for the duke's mansion. If you are willing to die yourself, you will definitely win the hearts of the Marshal and Madam. Alas, what Master Zhenghao said is right, Duke Dingguo married you in because he wanted you to be a caregiver for Young Master Jingyi."

"Shut up!" Wan Shi angrily punched the small table on the soft couch, making the tea cups on the table jingle.She breathed heavily, and the dim light in her eyes was flickering. After a while, she asked an irrelevant question, "What is Miss Feng doing recently?"

"Ah? Oh, she has been hiding in the yard and can't come out. A few days ago, Young Master Song invited her for his birthday. She said she was not feeling well." The girl asked curiously: "Miss, Miss Feng and Madam have had a deadlock. ah?"

"Of course it works." She didn't know what to think, and she giggled. "Let's go and see sister Tweety."

Feng Cui'er was a bit haggard, seeing that Wan Shi was also listless, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and when they talked about Mrs. Dingguo's favoritism, Feng Cui'er sighed: "I might as well go back to Jishan Pass with my father."

Wan's also sighed, "Madam always has good intentions. Life in Kyoto is safer than border crossings."

"But I only want to marry my second elder brother, but my second aunt insists on me marrying someone else!" Feng Cui'er pouted. Before Mrs. Dingguo taught her the rules of the aristocratic family, she misunderstood that Mrs. Dingguo wanted to help Feng Jingde take concubines.She thought that even if she wasn't a wife, she could just be a concubine, but she didn't believe that after she gave birth to a child, Feng Jingde's heart would still be on the little dude.But this is an oolong, Mrs. Dingguo just wants to marry her off.She doesn't want to be like a newly-appointed princess, being treated as a pawn, marrying someone she doesn't like!

Wan Shi held her hand, hesitated to speak: "My sister is so infatuated, sister-in-law, I have a plan..."

"Sister-in-law, tell me quickly."

"You know, the Feng family is the most responsible. As long as you...have a bad reputation...you will not be able to marry other people, so the second brother will have to marry you." Wan's cheeks were flushed, and there was evil in his eyes.

Feng Cui'er's eyes lit up, and the decadence disappeared instantly. "Ah, I see, thank you sister-in-law."

One day, Zhao Yuansong and Brother An went to the Huanyue Building to check the accounts. There was a conflict at the door of the building. big. "What a broken place, the number of people entering is limited every day, and no one is seen in such a long line. Are you doing this on purpose?"

The waiter was straightforward, and said bluntly: "There are too many customers in the store, and there is no place for us. There is nothing we can do. If we want to line up, we will line up. If we don't line up, we will give up the space to others."

"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have, and you drive the guests out!" The guest tilted his head and spat, with a look of contempt, "You are amazing, you are not the only gambling house in Kyoto, the newly opened one in Nancheng Huanxi Building is similar to yours, with a large place and many people. Hmph, if it wasn’t for my young master, I’m too lazy to go so far, I’d have gone to Nancheng Huanxi Building a long time ago.”

The man blushed when he heard this, and said angrily, "Then you go."

"Hey, this shop is so arrogant, it actually drives the customers out! Everyone, come and see, is this the big shop bullying the customers!" "Everyone, stop queuing here. The newly opened Huanxi Building in Nancheng is much better than here. There are more gambling skills, and there is no need to queue."

People always like to follow the trend. After listening to the complaints from the customers in front, some people in the back of the line began to complain that the queue time was too long.

The most noisy guest was obviously the trustee of the Huanxi Building. As soon as Manager Wang left, the troublemakers would appear every so often.The guy was very annoyed, he knew he couldn't speak, and whenever he encountered such a situation, he could only stare blankly.

Brother An was about to rush over to rescue the scene, when a group of people walked out of the building.The leader is dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a golden crown. The guards around him see the quarrel outside the door, so they walk over and show their badges to the noisy guest. The guest immediately turns off the engine like a scrapped old car, and then exits in despair. The crowd slipped away like fleeing.The guard looked around, fixed his eyes on Zhao Yuansong, nodded and stood beside his master.

Someone came to rescue him, Zhao Yuansong should be grateful.But this scene made him look like the tricks those dude brothers used to play tricks when they came out to play ditty tunes and sell singers.Sending his subordinates to rescue the girl can not only show that he is a nobleman, but also won't hurt himself if there is a conflict, and he can also gain the reputation of being a hero to save the beauty.Even if the other party is also from aristocratic background and has a stronger family background, they are not afraid, let alone they are the righteous side, even if the other party is particularly unreasonable and insists on fighting, they can still pull their men out to top the tank, and they have nothing to do.

Zhao Yuansong bowed his head and smiled after thinking about it, and stepped forward a few steps to thank them.Only after close contact did he realize that the clothes of the golden crowned man were luxurious and exquisitely embroidered, and the dragon topaz used by heaven was hanging on his waist.And the two younger ones behind him were also dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, and they also wore tribute jade around their waists.

Zhao Yuansong: "...." Are they afraid that others will not know that they are princes?The same goes for the one wearing the golden crown, and the four-clawed dragon jade pendant on his waist is also not taken away.Zhao Yuansong heard that the crown prince was on good terms with the fourth and ninth princes. One of them was the grandson of the general of Fuguo, and the other was the son of Guo Guifei, another favorite concubine after Jiang Guifei.

Zhao Yuansong felt that the royal people would not do useless things, and guessed that what they did just now was to make friends with him.So, just in line with his wishes.Relying on the support of the third prince behind him, Mr. Jiang often confronted Duke Dinguo's mansion.But now Dingguogong's mansion is still in court except for Feng Jingwei, and everyone else is idle at home. There are many grasshoppers who are starting to adapt to the wind, which makes the business of Dingguogong's mansion quite unsatisfactory.

Zhao Yuansong thought to himself, "It's really sleepy. Someone gave me a pillow."He smiled and went forward to say hello and thank you, but he didn't expect to only get a nod from the golden crown, and then the group of them missed him and walked out of the Huanyue Building without looking back.

Zhao Yuansong was stunned for a moment, then turned around, just in time to meet the glance of the golden crowned man before he got on the carriage.When the carriage left, Zhao Yuansong sneered.

"Fourth master?" Outside the mansion, Brother An no longer addressed him as the second young lady, but changed his name following the business contacts.

Zhao Yuansong shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel that the Tian family really knows how to play." Looking at that attitude, it is obvious that he let himself run over to be a pug.But it is also true, whatever the identity of His Royal Highness, there will always be someone who wants to offer it voluntarily, and there is no way to pull yourself off and ask for it.Being in a hurry is not a business. Even if Zhao Yuansong needs this thigh, he doesn't want to be a dog to others.

Zhao Yuansong didn't think about it any more, and entered the back hall of Huanyue Building with Brother An, and started today's heavy work.

The location of the second Huanyue Building was chosen by Zhao Yuansong to open on the opposite side of Huanxi Building, with a larger area and more exquisite decoration.Mr. Jiang was so angry when he heard about it, he pointed at Guanshi Wang and said, "Didn't you say that you have mastered all their gambling skills, so they dare not come to Nancheng to open a shop?"

Steward Wang knelt down and said stammeringly, "The little ones think...the young ones think they dare not."

"Thought? What a thought!" Mr. Jiang said sinisterly: "What I want is your eyes, and you don't need to waste your brain. If you want to think that your head is too idle to do, I don't mind cutting it off. Come down and sit on a bench."

"I know I'm wrong, please forgive me, my lord." Steward Wang kowtowed vigorously.

Jiang Zhenglong sent people to kill Zhao Yuanwang in Wuyang to avenge his friend, which caused a lot of trouble. His grandfather already knew about it. He had just been scolded by the prime minister, and he was in a very bad mood.Hearing that Zhao Yuansong opened a gambling shop across the street and wanted to fight them, he became even more angry. "Okay, as long as you can guarantee that Huanxilou has more guests than Huanyuelou, I won't kill you."

"A small guarantee, a small guarantee."

"Go away." Jiang Zhenglong is not in the mood to take care of the gambling house now. Just like his grandfather said, his old man has heard about the Zhao family in Wuyang. With the ability of the emperor's inspector's office, he must know about it.The emperor didn't have a seizure, maybe it was because of his aunt's face, or maybe he wanted to wait for someone from the Zhao family in Wuyang to file a lawsuit against him.

There were many things going wrong with the Jiang faction, and he couldn't hold back his grandfather because of this, so he planned to go to Wuyang in person and hand over the management of the capital to the third prince in advance.

Jiang Zhenglong went to the palace to visit the third prince, and not long after, the other princes received reports one after another.

The next day, Zhao Yuansong ran into the little chubby prince gnawing hemp claws on fire on Nancheng Street. "Hey, who's that, you're here too?" His Royal Highness the Prince asked, quite out of sight.

Zhao Yuansong looked this little chubby up and down, he was about the same age as himself, if he guessed correctly, he should be the Ninth Prince of the dynasty.They only met briefly that day, and Zhao Yuansong had to pretend not to know him. "Huh? Are you?"

"My hall, cough, I'm Ah Jiu, we met in Huanyue Tower before." The Ninth Prince swallowed the fire in his mouth, and bit down a piece of crunchy numb claw fire with a groan, it was delicious to eat, Seeing that Zhao Yuansong was hungry.

"Oh, it turned out to be a guest of Huanyue Building. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Yuansong saw that the princes wanted to approach him again, so he wanted to explore it, and said immediately: "Meeting is worse than meeting by chance. Everyone is destined, and you are not like this." If you are full, may I invite you to a delicious restaurant?"

Hearing that there is food, the Ninth Prince's eyes are sharp. "Okay, okay, let's go."

Zhao Yuansong raised his eyebrows, feeling that the prince had no heart.But born in the royal family, how many careless people are there?

The guards of the Ninth Prince cleared the way, and they quickly passed through the crowd in the Nanji Market, and came to a shop selling Mei Cai Yuanzi. The tables in the shop were all long and long tables, and the chairs were also benches for several people, which looked very simple. .It was meal time, and many people came in.A guest's dish was ready and brought out, and the sauce was so fragrant that the Ninth Prince's stomach rumbled lightly.

"Come on, you're welcome, everyone sit down. This is the most famous restaurant in Nancheng. In addition to Meicai Yuanzi, their family is also famous for the salted duck in the south." Zhao Yuansong found a place to sit down and began to order. De Kong turned his head and told Xiao Wu and the others to find a place to sit, then looked at the guards behind the Ninth Prince, and said with a smile: "Do they want to find a place to sit too? Standing here will affect the boss's business."

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and told the guards to find a place too.After a while, all the dishes were served, and he looked curiously at the lumps of brown and green vegetable meatballs, which looked very bad, and that salted duck was actually a duck corpse!Zhao Yuansong was amused by his expression, handed him a pair of chopsticks and said: "It doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

The Ninth Prince was so torn, he smelled that this dish tasted really good.It may be the Ninth Prince's personal eunuch, who immediately got up and came over: "Dian... Ninth Master, do you want to taste the small one first?"

The other party didn't say his real identity, and Zhao Yuansong didn't need to talk about his superiority. He took the lead in putting down his chopsticks, poked a vegetable meatball and took a big bite.He was just about to signal to the Ninth Prince that the meatballs are delicious, when he saw the guests at the table next to him suddenly draw a dagger from their sleeves and slash at the Ninth Prince and the others. "careful!"
