Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

Chapter 38 Chapter 38

Let's say that the prince was dug a hole by King Su, and he got a stick, and he was very angry.Returning to the East Palace with a stomach full of depression, he remembered what he had told Zhao Qiaoze.Zhao Qiaoze went back to Jiangnan and returned with a rewarding experience. He also brought news that the Jiangnan family was still willing to serve the prince.But for some reason, whether it was news or secretly offering filial piety from Jiangnan, it was much delayed or even perfunctory than before.

This made the crown prince have to wonder if Zhao Qiaoze was obeying the law while obeying the law.The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, so he repeatedly asked Zhao Qiaoze to go see him immediately.

For seven consecutive days, Zhao Qiaoze was called back and forth by the prince just to ask a few words.His heart was tense impatiently, and he suppressed the depression in his heart, holding his breath and came to the East Palace.

Before he could salute and pay his respects, the crown prince scolded his head and face: "What did you do, you idiot! Why hasn't there been any news from Jiangnan until now!"

Zhao Qiaoze was dumbfounded by the scolding, a surge of anger rushed up, and he suppressed it, and said with a smile: "I wonder what news the prince wants?"

"Stop smiling here," the crown prince scolded, slapping the table and shouting, "I ask you! Why is Lin Ruhai so procrastinating now that he can clearly pay the money for the salt tax? Could it be that he is the same as the sixth child?" , I want to make Guxiu fail to become the East Palace!"

Zhao Qiaoze thought to himself: You can ask Lin Ruhai, how do I know.

But he still said on his face: "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe it's delayed for a while? Maybe Mr. Lin is running a private fundraising campaign to raise funds for His Highness's construction. Last time I went to Jiangnan, I saw it with my own eyes. There are so many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. Hurry up to honor you!"

These words eased the prince's heart a little bit, and the original unknown anger also vented two or three points.But this so-called filial piety is not a good thing on the surface after all, and there is no evidence at all.Liang Ye was extremely afraid that Jiangnan would be divorced from him, so he was always on tenterhooks.

If it was before, there would still be Zhen Yingjia on the other side of Jiangnan who could take care of her.

But in recent years, as the Zhen family has become more and more favored, the power and influence of that class has also grown.Now it was clearly a local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liang Ye didn't call them back and forth like before.

Thinking of this, the prince became annoyed for a while, not understanding why his father created such a person who could not be offended, and gave away his authority in the south of the Yangtze River.

……Yes!The prince's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought: Now that the news from Jiangnan is slow, it can't be said that Zhen Yingjia has separated from him, controlled his subordinates and emptied himself!

If it was in the past, the prince would not be afraid of the Zhen family.But the Zhen family also had a daughter who entered the palace, and that woman did not know what kind of luck she had.After giving birth to a son, he is now eight years old.In this palace, the Zhen family doesn't need to be close to him at all.They clearly had two minds early on!If it is true, a slave should look like a slave, and it is easy to step on the head of the master if he gives too much.

It's all to blame for the jumping up and down of Zhonggong some time ago, distracting my attention, otherwise the Zhen family would have taken advantage of such a loophole!The prince hated him for a moment, and felt that he needed to step up his manpower to regain the loyalty of Jiangnan.

So he said to Zhao Qiaoze: "You will go to Jiangnan again in the near future. Let me see clearly when you go this time, who are the slaves who dare to speak against the words of the master."

Zhao Qiaoze had such a plan in the first place, and he almost jumped up when he heard this!But when he thought of the restaurant he had coveted for a long time, he hesitated.The good things have not been obtained yet, and it is really hard to let go.If you snatch the restaurant here before leaving Beijing, then when you come back, you will be happy walking on the mountain of gold and silver!

When he thought of this, a little light appeared on his face.The prince was disgusted by his smile, and scolded: "Idiot, what are you doing crazy!"

"Returning to the Lord, the villain recently saw a deal. I remember it very much, so I thought about closing it earlier, and then I will go to work for the prince." Zhao Qiaoze replied with a smile.

The prince said disdainfully: "It's only you who have shallow eyelids that can't be put on the table."

"It's just a restaurant," Zhao Qiaoze wanted to ask the prince to support him, and he talked about the benefits of the restaurant as soon as he rolled his eyes.Hu Tianhu made a fuss about the benefits of the restaurant, saying that there are no heaven and earth.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day.

Liang Ye was a little moved by what he said, but he still didn't believe it, "How can it be as good as you said?"

"And there is!" Zhao Qiaoze gestured exaggeratedly, "If you don't believe me, why don't you just go and see it yourself?"

The prince of this dynasty is not allowed to do business.At least not on the surface.Many princes' properties are placed in other people's names.The imperial court just turned a blind eye.After being teased by Zhao Qiaoze, the prince was moved.If the restaurant is so novel, it doesn't hurt to buy one.

So he said: "Take me with you tomorrow, if it's not as good as you said. Then wait for the board!"

Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Qiaoze knew that there was a connection, and apologized and said with a smile: "The prince is going to go on tour in disguise! This is a good story!"

"Go away, you sycophant," the crown prince kicked him, telling Zhao Qiaoze to go away and come back tomorrow.

·

The prince's brother-in-law left the East Palace on the front foot, and a servant of the family handed him a post on the back foot, saying that a man named Xue Pan asked to see him.

"Xue Pan? What!" He cursed.

"Master Hui, it's Furongzhai's young owner. Many of our things go here."

Only then did Zhao Qiaoze remember that the Xue family, as an imperial businessman, had many things to do.I helped Donggong cook a lot of things, so I had some contact with the Xue family, so I asked: "What is he here for?"

The servant said: "I never said what to do, I said I wanted to treat my master to dinner."

"What?" Zhao Qiaoze said disdainfully, "It's just a low-level merchant who also wants to invite me to dinner? Send him away, I don't have time to see him!"

The servant took the order and left, and sent the Xue family away with a few words.

Xue Pan waited for a long time, and suddenly found that the prince's wife and younger brother didn't pay attention to him, and was stupid for a while.This is the one he thinks is the most capable among the people he knows.This disappearance, let's tell him how to save face in front of Wen Yishu in the future.As a result, there was a sense of discouragement in that heart.

Dejected, he left the front of the Zhao Mansion step by step and turned his head three times.

Xue Pan felt depressed, so he refused to go back and walked around at will.Before I knew it, I came to Jinshi Street, the teahouse where I met Wen Yishu for the first time.Looking at the tall building in front of him, Xue Pan felt more and more resentful, and didn't want to go in at all.He was about to leave when he heard a call.

"The one in front, but Brother Xue?"

He looked back and saw Yishu standing with a tall and handsome man.

"It's really Brother Xue!" Wen Yishu walked over with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xue Pan looked at Wen Yishu, then at the man next to him, with a suspicious look on his face: "Why are you here?"

Wen Yishu straightened his cuffs, and said with a smile: "I came out for a stroll and wanted to buy some things to go back. But I searched and searched, but I couldn't find any good things. I planned to come here to rest, and I ran into you without thinking." gone."

The presence of the man next to him was so strong that Xue Pan couldn't help but glance at him.Seeing his appearance, Wen Yishu introduced him: "This is Mr. Huo. I just met him in the store, so it's cheaper to walk together."

The man called Mr. Huo glanced at Wen Yishu, and then nodded to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan didn't want to see Wen Yi's book now, and seeing this Mr. Huo's extraordinary momentum, he felt more and more withdrawn, and said scribbled: "Then you go shopping, I'm leaving."

Wen Yishu immediately became anxious: "Why are you leaving? We finally met today."

Being moved by that sentence with great difficulty, Xue Pan said: "What is so difficult, you have already climbed a high branch, and there is no me."

Surprise flashed across Wen Yishu's face, and then he smiled wryly, "I thought that Brother Xue was not that kind of person, but it turned out that he only saw half-truths a few times, so he looked at me like others."

It was obvious that there was something in his words, Xue Pan and Mr. Huo looked at him at the same time.

"Could it be that you have some difficulties?" Xue Pan asked.

Wen Yishu shook his head, as if he had some scruples, "It's hard to say."

Xue Pan saw Mr. Huo and Yi Shu who didn't want to say more, so he thought a lot.I only know what difficulties he has, but I can't say much at this time.Xu Shi waited until there were only two of them before talking to himself.

Thinking of this, he felt a little beautiful in his heart, so he accepted the reluctant look just now, and said proactively: "Since you are here for shopping, you should ask me. I don't have anything at home, you can just tell me what you want." yes!"

"I just want to find a knowledgeable person like you," Wen Yishu was overjoyed, and said to the Mr. Huo, "It's better to meet by chance, this brother Xue is a knowledgeable person, why don't we have a meal together and eat while eating?" explain."

Before this Mr. Huo could speak, Xue Pan hurriedly said: "That's it, I'll take this meal! Let's go, go upstairs!"

Saying that, he took a step.

Seeing his hurried appearance, Liang Yu looked at the people around him and raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Huo?"

"Master Huo, Mr. Huo, what's wrong?" Wen Yishu blinked at him.

"As long as you are happy," Liang Yu said lightly, "Just wait a while and see what you can say about your difficulties."

"It's not like you haven't seen my ability to talk nonsense, so what are you afraid of?" Wen Yishu continued to laugh, "It's nothing more than the trick of the powerful and powerful. Don't worry, he will definitely believe it."

As he said that, Wen Yishu poked Liang Yu's arm with his finger, "Let's go, dignitary. We met him today, so maybe we're done with our investigation."
