"That Liu Quan is the son of the Liu family, and because he is the grandson of the Liu family, he yells five times a day, and even ignores the young masters of some small families. He used Liu Hexu's face to enrich his own pockets not once or twice. , As a result, this time I ran into a hard idea.

On the first day, he went to the silk and satin village to speak harsh words, and early the next morning, Prince Duan asked someone to pull a cart of fabrics directly to the door of Liu's house.It was the time of the morning court, and the road was full of dignified people, and the driver who pulled the cart said directly: "Our son said, the Liu family's house is difficult, and even the cronies around your son have to pay on credit when they go out to buy fabrics. Aristocratic family, you don't look good, so you ordered me to send a car here. '"

Rong Xi taught the coachman so vividly, if Rong Le didn't know that he was studying in the Imperial College at that time, he would have thought he saw it with his own eyes.

Speaking of this, Rong Xi couldn't help laughing for a long while before continuing, "After the driver finished speaking, he pasted the gift list on the door of Liu's house and ran away, leaving only a cart of fabrics at the door. It doesn't matter if people throw it away, it doesn't matter if they don't throw it away, and it doesn't matter if they keep it there all the time. In the end, the housekeeper was furious and asked someone to pull the car away, so as not to block the gate."

He sighed: "Unfortunately, I saw too many people in the morning, and the news spread in less than half a day. The Liu family is not a famous family, but because of a favorite concubine, a few people were promoted by the Holy Majesty. As soon as this incident happened, most of the aristocratic circles were watching the excitement."

After that poetry meeting, although Rong Le no longer accepted Wan Chengdai's invitation, Rong Xi would invite him to meet him from time to time.

He didn't want to offend the protagonist, and because Rong Xi was still in the Hou's mansion, he could just help take care of the second wife, so he always came out three or four out of ten invitations.

Back and forth, the relationship between the two brothers is not to say close, but it is indeed much better than before.

The two of them didn't say anything secret when they were together, they just chatted about gossip and gossip in Beijing and China, and the most talked-about thing in recent times was naturally the matter of the Liu family.

Wan Chengzheng has not had a good reputation in Beijing for a long time. At the beginning, he was praised by everyone as the proud son of heaven. He was favored by King Duan, favored by the Empress Dowager, and valued by the Holy Majesty.

He was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he was both civil and military. He once hunted down a fierce tiger alone at the young age of 12.At that time, the Holy Master was overjoyed, praised him as a rare general, and personally bestowed a jade ring finger that he always carried with him.

It's a pity that after the incident of falling from the horse, his labels in the eyes of everyone became crippled, abandoned, eccentric, and moody.

So once this incident happened, everyone would not care about the person who did it, but would focus all their attention on the Liu family.

Because no matter what Wan Chengzheng does, no one will be surprised, but the Liu family being ridiculed makes people more eager to gossip.

At that time, Wan Chengzheng didn't tell Rongle in detail, but just told him that the silk and satin village's matter had been resolved.

Later, the shopkeeper didn't come to him again, so he naturally thought that his status as Prince Duan's son had played a role, and Wan Chengzheng might have to come forward in person.

Unexpectedly, this "coming out" was different from what he had imagined.

Rong Xi thought that Rong Le was the one behind the scenes, when he was talking about this, he smiled and looked at him meaningfully.It's really a slap in the face, it doesn't seem like something a prince can do.

Rong Le could only keep smiling.

Rong Xi smiled tiredly, drank the tea in front of him, and continued: "You don't know, because of such a good show, the master of the Liu family claimed to be sick and lay at home for ten days, and the young master of the Liu family didn't have the face to go to school. Ask for leave. Liu's family was very public during this period of time, but the door was closed overnight, and even the servants had to wait for no one when they went out to buy vegetables and pour Ye Xiang."

He poured himself another cup of tea, and continued, "There is also that bully Liu Quan, whose leg was broken the next day, and was taken out of the mansion by his old lady. Although his life is safe, the rest of his life will be difficult." gone."

He smiled and said: "I heard that it is not only the silk and satin shop in the hands of the prince, there are at least twenty or thirty shops in the capital that he oppressed, all of which he profited from by using Mr. Liu's name. Only a few hundred taels of silver were paid out.”

Rong Le's heart trembled when he heard what happened to that man. Although the other party was not a good thing, he took his cloth for nothing, and even threatened him with words. His legs were crippled, but he still couldn't bear it.

He couldn't help saying to himself again in his heart, this is the feudal dynasty, and human life is like paper.It was obvious that Liu Quan was still relying on the power of the Liu family to do his best all day long, and in the blink of an eye he became a pig and dog who was cast aside by others.

He looks good now, but if he makes a wrong step, who knows what will be waiting for him in front of him?

He barely calmed down, and said to Rong Le: "A few hundred taels? I'm afraid that the loss of a shop is more than a few hundred taels." His silk and satin shop alone has been scattered over the years, and the cost alone is one or two hundred taels up.

Rong analyzed: "Then Liu Quan still has good eyesight. He dare not mess with shops with backing behind him. Those who mess with them are shops with no or weak background. No matter how you say it, the Liu family is a well-established family. Wouldn't it be a good thing for the Liu family to lean on?"

Most of Rong Le's mood of listening to the play disappeared immediately, "Is this a wedding dress for the Liu family?"

Rong Xi smiled lightly, "You don't understand, the Liu family was originally a small family, and they climbed up to the middle rank because of Concubine Liu. In fact, who can fancy him from those big families? The more short-sighted the Liu family is... , mixed with those small aristocratic families and lowly merchants, the more aristocratic families would not accept him, he would not have to lower his status.

Moreover, the emperor's favor has been the most unpredictable since ancient times. Generally speaking, those who use sex to serve others will love it when their sex fades, and love it when it fades.No matter how favored Concubine Liu was, she never gave birth to a child, not to mention that she was not too young, waiting for a large number of newcomers to enter the palace in this year's draft, how much of the Holy Majesty's love for her would be left? "

What Rong Xi didn't say was that the Liu family had already discovered this. Now the Liu family relies solely on Concubine Liu, so they secretly searched for good recipes for conceiving a child, and hoped that Concubine Liu would give birth to a dragon son.

Although the first few sons of the Holy Majesty have grown up, the newborn Longzi has no chance of being on the throne, but at least he can be a prince of Taiping and keep the three generations of the Liu family rich.

And the more short-sighted they are, the less they will be seen by the aristocratic family.Everyone regards them as related households who climbed up through nepotism.

This incident was really a joke for everyone, Rong Xi talked about it for half an hour.After laughing enough, he tilted his head and rushed towards Rongle: "Although the prince did this, you have to tell your mother." His phrase "mother" refers to Mrs. Hou, which is a kind reminder.

When Rong Le heard that he was going to deal with Mrs. Hou, he had a headache. He chuckled, "I told my mother earlier that the silk and satin factory had already been given to the prince, and it was not under my control. As a result, Liu Quan dared to go to Bai It's perfectly normal for the son to teach me a lesson, and my mother will never get angry because of such a trivial matter."

Just talking about it, Rong Le secretly lifted his heart.

Wan Chengzheng taught Liu Quan a lesson, so Mrs. Hou naturally wouldn't take it to heart.But Wan Chengzheng did not want to lose his status, and was too lazy to take action against the servants. Instead, he put pressure on the Liu family to let the Liu family take the initiative to clean up the house, dragging the Liu family into the water all at once.

The rumors in the capital were all about the Liu family, as for Liu Quan's life and death, no one would care.

Rong Le thought to himself, in order to appease Madam Hou, he had to send another letter to her.What reason should I use this time?Would it be useful to say that I have gained Wan Chengzheng's trust?

If it doesn't work, he will take Wan Chengzheng back to the head office, right?
