Chapter 114: Bargaining

The prince of Dingxi sent it to the door himself, which was a good thing that he couldn't think of. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yan family is naturally happy in their hearts.

Ruan Jingxin reluctantly returned to the warm pavilion with a group of people, listening to a group of people either explicit or euphemistically patting Dongfang Xu's ass. He was the one who supervised the salt tax this time, so he was naturally more useful than Ruan Jingxin.

"The folk girl has seen the prince. A delicate voice suddenly sounded, and Ruan Jingxin looked up. It was the second miss of the Yan Mansion who spoke, and the second miss who was a little introverted and shy in the legend. When she saluted herself, she didn't say anything.

Dongfang Xu glanced at it, "Get up." Then he turned around and chatted with Yan Yuheng.

Yan Yuling didn't walk away, but spoke again, "The people's daughter is Yan Yuling, the daughter of the Yan Mansion." ”

Dongfang Xu didn't even pay attention to it this time, as if he didn't hear it. Yan Yuling bit her lip and secretly glanced at Dongfang Xu again, and then she was blessed and retreated.

Yan Yuheng glanced at his sister with some dissatisfaction, and smiled apologetically at Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang Xu has two good feelings about this Yan Yuheng. Although the other party's appearance is too feminine, there is two points of righteousness in talking and doing things.

When Mrs. Yan saw that what she said was almost the same, she instructed someone to set up a banquet. "Our Yangzhou cuisine is a little different from the taste of the capital, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please bear with the prince and Ruan. ”

"Where, you're welcome. Ben Shizi likes all tastes, and Lady Ruan has lived in Hangzhou for many years, so she should be able to accept the tastes here. ”

"Hangzhou cuisine and Yangzhou cuisine are somewhat similar in taste, and I like them. Ruan Jingxin smiled and nodded.

"We also like to listen to some small songs here, if the prince doesn't mind, the old man will ask someone to come up and sing a few sentences. Old Lady Yan saw that the prince of Dingxi and the female official Ruan did not take a stand, and she also relaxed.

"This is good, call it up!" Dongfang Xu said unceremoniously.

Mrs. Yan was just about to speak, but she heard Yan Yuling say, "If the prince and the female official Ruan don't dislike it, the little girl is willing to sing." ”

Yan Yuheng frowned, but Mrs. Yan smiled and slapped her hands, "If you are willing to sing, it would be great!" She turned her head and explained to Dongfang Xu and Ruan Jingxin, "My granddaughter has a good voice, and she loves to sing a few words since she was a child, and then the old man found a famous teacher to train her for a while, and she actually has two hands! It's just that she is shy on weekdays and always refuses to sing, but it is very rare for her to stand up and sing this time!"

Ruan Jingxin glanced at Dongfang Xu with a smile, this eighty percent is the peach blossom caused by this product. But when it comes to this, if you don't let her sing, it will be a slap in the face, just listen!

Dongfang Xu received Ruan Jingxin's eyes, and touched the tip of his nose a little unconsciously, "Since that's the case, you can sing." ”

Yan Yuling's joy emanated, she cleared her throat slightly, and then began to sing, "The mountains have trees and branches......

Ruan Jingxin took a sip of wine in her mouth and almost squirted out. Where is this girl shy? Isn't this a confession of Hongguoguo? But this song is really as pleasant as a yellow warbler, but it is a little nervous, and it seems a little dull.

Dongfang Xu was a little speechless, obviously he was here to block other people's peach blossoms, how could he also get into trouble? He ate the dish in front of him expressionlessly, ignoring the affectionate eyes, and pretending not to understand the meaning of the lyrics. I wish I was deaf and blind at this time.

After Yan Yuling finished singing the song, everyone praised a few words, only Dongfang Xu didn't know what to talk about with Yan Yuheng, and he didn't have time to echo at all. Yan Yuling was extremely disappointed, so she could only silently return to her seat.

Although there are separate tables for men and women, there is no screen in the middle. When Mrs. Yan saw that she had drunk three times, she spoke again, "Yangzhou people are outstanding people, and there are many literati and scholars, and the literary style is very heavy. Even my youngest grandson was able to write poetry at the age of three. ”

"Yangzhou has produced many great writers and officials since ancient times. Dongfang Xu nodded in agreement, "Even the academic style of the academy is good." ”

"The academic style of the college is good, and several of my grandchildren have been nurtured. Unfortunately, it is only a few years. Old Lady Yan sighed. It's enough to be able to study for a few years, but if you can't take a scientific exam, and if you can't be an official, what's the use of learning more?

Dongfang Xu glanced at Ruan Jingxin, saw her nodding slightly, and said, "Lord Ruan is a good official, and he is a person that His Majesty trusts and fancy. With him staying in Yangzhou, I think your feng shui in Yangzhou will be better. Lady Ruan, don't you say?"

"I don't dare to say it, but it's okay to be prosperous. Ruan Jingxin's meaning is very clear, only some people can benefit, not everyone.

Dongfang Xu also nodded, people are like this, if everyone has benefits, they won't feel rare and won't cherish them. "What Lady Ruan said is that there are some things that you can't get casually. ”

Yan Yuheng is a smart one, so he simply got up, and knelt down as soon as he lifted his robe, "My Yan family has nothing else, it can be regarded as a small asset." If you can one day glorify your ancestors and change the lintel, you will definitely be grateful for the guidance of the prince and the female official Ruan. ”

"Get up. Dongfang Xu gave in with one palm, "I don't need to say it, you probably know why Lady Ruan and I came." ”

It turned out that it was still for the salt tax! Yan Yuheng hesitated slightly, then said, "Money is a trivial matter, but the rules are there, if we make a move without authorization, it will cause dissatisfaction among others, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to walk in Yangzhou in the future." "Although they are known as the No. 1 salt merchant giants in Yangzhou, if they are boycotted by others, I am afraid that the future business will not be good.

"You weren't left alone. Ruan Jingxin pursed her lips and smiled, "But if you don't want to offend your peers and want to get benefits, it won't work either." ”

"As long as it's not a salt tax, our Yan family is willing to pay more silver taels. Yan Yuheng bargained.

"Young Master Yan!" Ruan Jingxin's voice suddenly cooled down, "Money, sometimes you go where you need to go, so that it can play its due role! If you are not sincere, you don't have to waste your tongue!"

Dongfang Xu nodded, "What Lady Ruan means is what this son of the world means." Your Majesty can send me to supervise the collection of salt taxes, obviously I want to help Lord Ruan, but secretly I am not giving you a chance to save yourself?"

Yan Yuheng was puzzled, and Mrs. Yan was thoughtful. Ruan Jingxin simply said more clearly, "Think about the big businessman who was so rich in the previous dynasty, what was the final result?"

The Yan family suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they ignored one thing. That is, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers can't not die. If the imperial court really believes that their actions affect the overall situation, it is not difficult to find a crime to kill chickens and make an example.
