Chapter 1097: Something to Ask For
Looking at Nalan Guangcheng, the little fat man asked, "So you are also a slut?"
Rao is Nalan Guangcheng's calmness, and he also choked on this sentence fiercely.
"Can I understand that you are scolding me?"
"Of course not!"
His head shook like a rattle, and the little fat man said: "I'm talking about cheap people, I'm lazy, and I don't say a few words." ”
Laughing out loud, Nalan Guangcheng could be regarded as having a little bit of Mu Qiyun's mood at that time.
"You don't have to be hostile to me, and you don't need to test me in a different way, my Nalan family is good friends with the Mu family, but this incident has nothing to do with the Mu family, I was entrusted by your grandfather to arrange it. ”
Humming and laughing, Li Chuyi said lightly: "I said that I always felt that someone was following me just now, it turned out to be someone you sent, otherwise you arranged it as soon as I entered the door." I said, Uncle Nalan, aren't you afraid that I will accidentally kill the people who follow me?"
"Don't be afraid. Nalan Guangcheng said without hesitation.
Li Chu raised his eyebrows: "Look down on me? You are so confident in your people? You can let me find the traces, the people you sent may not be some masters, right?"
"No, I'm not looking down on you, I say I'm not afraid because I didn't send anyone to follow you at all. ”
Seeing that Li Chuyi didn't believe it, Nalan Guangcheng said with a smile: "More than half of the restaurants and inns in the imperial capital belong to the Nalan family's property, and the rest are in the hands of the Zhao family and a few decent middle families, and these are also inextricably linked to my Nalan family." In other words, as long as you stay in the imperial capital, any of our Nalan families can speak. I don't need to send someone to follow you at all, I have already sent someone to order you to stay, as long as you stay overnight, I will get the news as soon as possible, and they will make arrangements according to my instructions in advance. ”
This time, Li Chuyi almost didn't choke to death.
What is the meaning of wealth, he has seen it today.
"In addition, I also want to correct you, our Mu family runs a restaurant inn, but most of them are also arranged for the small family that is attached to us to take care of it, and only a big store of this grade like the Xianlin Hall is run by our Nalan family personally. In addition, the industry of our Nalan family is not only restaurants and inns, but also pawn shops, auction houses, exchanges, and even ready-to-wear shops, rouge gouache shops, and even Qinglou prostitutes in the imperial capital
We've all dabbled in the museum. We are a real merchant family, different from those small merchants and hawkers outside, you have to understand that a family can not be called a merchant family just because it is rich, it is also a business, and the difference is also huge. ”
Nalan Guangcheng said lightly, and Li Chuyi was speechless several times when he heard it.
According to this standard, he was very skeptical that if he slipped Hao Jiati over, he would also be the "small merchant and hawker" in the other party's mouth.
Thinking about it, the Hao family is often ridiculed as nouveau riche in Mobei, and when it comes to the hierarchical Dayan Dynasty, they can't be on the stage as "peddlers and pawns".
"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. ”
Clapping his hands, Nalan Guangcheng smiled and said, "You just said that sleeping on the street is also the property of one of our families, and this sentence is also wrong." The streets in the imperial capital are all owned by the imperial court, and no one is allowed to interfere, including the area under the jurisdiction of the Mu family. In other words, if you commit a crime, don't run around the street stupidly, find a family property with enough weight to drill into, the officials of the court may not dare to break in and take people, you must ask for instructions from above and get permission. Of course, the official errand I am talking about is just an ordinary official errand, if you provoke the Supervision Department, it will be different, the privilege that the emperor appointed to the Supervision Department, except for the Mu family and the Zhenxi Royal Mansion in the imperial capital, the Supervision Department has the right to enter any place to arrest the criminal, so you are targeted by the people of the Supervision Department, which is basically equivalent to having no way to escape. But this is for other people, and for you, of course, you don't have to worry about that. You are the eldest prince, and you have the support of the Mu family, even if Elder Wen is close, he may not dare to touch you, and the people in the Supervision Department will not target you unless they are crazy. Li Chuyi, you are now the number one person in our imperial capital, your new star has really shocked many people's eyes today, I estimate that the threshold of the Immortal Landing Hall will be broken tomorrow, hehe!"
There was no joy, the little fat man glared and said: "I'm not the eldest prince, I didn't recognize the holy decree!"
"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, the important thing is that my emperor gave you a holy decree and appointed you as the eldest prince. Even if you don't admit it, in the eyes of others, you are also the great prince, haven't you heard the words in the holy decree, 'I am afraid that someone will hold him hostage, and this edict is specially transmitted to prove his body', this sentence is not for you, but for us. Who dares not to take you seriously, it is not only the Mu family who will be offended, but also disobedient to the court and the emperor, who can afford this crime?"
Li Chuyi was silent, and said irritably after a long time: "He just didn't have a good heart, just to find me guilty! I came to him to ask for an explanation, and he was idle and had nothing to do to get me the identity of the eldest prince, doesn't this make me offend people? What did he make the original eldest prince think? Is there still a way to live this day?!"
Nalan Guangcheng was stunned and asked in wonder, "You don't know?"
Li Chu was stunned: "What do you know?"
Looking at Li Chuyi strangely, Nalan Guangcheng waved his hand to signal Xiao Er and the shopkeeper to leave, and then looked at Li Sinian and the others with inquiring eyes.
Li Chu understood it for a while, waved his hand without hesitation and said: "My own people, there is no need to avoid it!"
With a flash in his eyes, Nalan Guangcheng looked at Li Chuyi deeply, and finally nodded without obsession.
After a pause, he said in a low voice: "The Dayan Dynasty has no crown prince so far, and the position of the eldest prince has been vacant, don't you know about this matter?"
Stunned, Li Chuyi's eyes slowly narrowed.
"You mean...?"
"That's right. ”
Nalan Guangcheng nodded.
"The position of the crown prince is related to the unification, and there is nothing strange about it hanging in the air. For example, in today's sainthood, the former emperor also established his status as the crown prince when he was dying, and the examination and weighing in this are not a day's work, and it should be delayed for a longer time. But the eldest prince is different, the Yanling Emperor has been designated as the second prince since the first prince was established, and the princes and princesses are also arranged in order, and no one has ever become the head of the princes. At first, we were still very puzzled, we all thought that the princes and princesses did not meet the requirements of the Yanling Emperor, so no one became the eldest prince or the eldest princess, until today, when the holy decree came down, we didn't know that the original seat was vacant because the Yanling Emperor had already been selected, and that candidate was you!"
"He's crazy?"
Li Chuyi was dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to point at himself: "Do you see which hair of mine looks like a prince from head to toe?"
Nalan Guangcheng's eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth and didn't say it directly, but sighed first.
"I know you don't refuse the etiquette, but after all, this is the imperial capital, and it's better for you to say less if you insult the emperor, especially outside. Emperor Yan protects you, and the Mu family also protects you, but you would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, who knows if there is a 'loyal and righteous man' who is "eager to protect the lord" and take risks, if you die, the murderer is buried with a small matter, Emperor Yan is angry, and the Mu family is angry, then Dayan's life is not peaceful, and I can't say how much blood and blood. Even if you don't think about yourself, I ask you to think about these ants and mayflies for us, and don't implicate our lives. ”
Li Chuyi frowned: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Nalan Guangcheng looked at him seriously: "What do you say?"
Li Chuyi was silent, and scratched his neck after half a day.
"You're an ant, too?"
"Of course, it's just a bigger one. ”
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison. made a joke, and the suppressed atmosphere was suddenly relaxed.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Nalan Guangcheng said softly: "Actually, these words should not have been said by me, but your grandfather should have said them and listened to you." But you have a quarrel with the Mu family like that, and Uncle Shi is a slightly rough person, and he doesn't care about some trivial things, so he probably won't say anything to you, so I'll just say a little more to you, in case you don't know if you suffer a loss, and then make the old man sad. ”
Smiling, Li Chuyi asked curiously, "Why do I feel that you are so attentive to my grandfather? Is it because of the relationship between the Mu family and your Nalan family?"
Nalan Guangcheng smiled slightly: "There is this reason, but it is not the main reason." Putting aside the relationship of interests, as far as Uncle Shi is concerned, I should also be as filial to his biological father, because his father's life was saved by him. Without his father, he would have fallen into the Yellow Springs, let alone the scenery that the Nalan family and I are in now. My father often reminded me that this kindness should not be forgotten, and asked me to treat Uncle Shi like him, I remember it in my heart, and I am also grateful to him from the bottom of my heart, including the little girl Mingyue. You have no news, and Uncle Shi's depression has nowhere to be resolved, so he pinned his ancestral and grandson affection on Mingyue, and Mingyue has a smart girl, so Uncle Shi treats her so well. ”
Speaking of this, Nalan Guangcheng bowed his hand slightly: "The little girl was rude before, and I hope that the little friend will take care of her." That kid has no malice, just naughty and active, sometimes even I get a headache from her, don't misunderstand her malice towards you!"
"What do you say, how can I care about this! It's not that I haven't seen her kind of temper, you know Lu Heng, the head of the Taixu Palace, right? His daughter Lu Shiyu is 10,000 times more difficult than her, how can the young master be angry with her, rest assured!"
The little fat man waved his hand indifferently, and asked curiously: "Let's not talk about this, you just said that your father was also rescued by my grandfather, how did I find out that the old man will save people in three days? There is a Mu Qingqiu in Mobei, you know? It is said that he also rescued him, and he was also accepted as a righteous son, what kind of person is the old man, is the head of the Mu family so free, if there is nothing to do, he will wander outside?"
Shaking his head, Nalan Guangcheng sighed: "You are out of exile, so you don't know a lot of things. Your grandfather is actually a very anxious and righteous person, and many times he is not like the head of a big clan like the Mu family, but more like a wandering scattered cultivator. Before becoming the head of the family, his favorite thing was to travel all over the world, it is said that when the head of the family was dying, he wanted to entrust the position of the head of the family to him, and he was unwilling to do so, or a group of clan elders persuaded each other to take it. I know what you said about Mu Qingqiu, we are not only old acquaintances, but also good brothers. Many years ago, when I went to Mobei, I also met with him, and I was very eager to drink and talk, but unfortunately my father abdicated and I became the head of the Nalan family, and I had not been free after I became the head of the Nalan family. ”
After speaking, waving his hand, Nalan Guangcheng said: "Don't talk about this, let's get down to business." In fact, in addition to coming here today for Uncle Shi, Nalan himself also has something to ask for!"
Looking at the other party's faint eyes, Li Chuyi suddenly became furious, and he jumped up and waved his hand again and again: "Uncle, we have something to say, if you are like my old man and come to tell me about the matchmaker, forget it, I am a person with a daughter-in-law!"
Nalan Guangcheng didn't expect him to be so direct, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Don't be afraid, although it is a good choice for the little girl to marry you, I am an enlightened person and never interfere in the marriage of my children, so you don't need to worry. ”
The little fat man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sit down when he heard the other party say next: "But what I asked for today is indeed related to the little girl." ”
Halfway through his sitting, Li Chuyi stiffened his neck and asked, "What do you mean?"
With a narrowing of his eyes, Nalan Guangcheng said in a quiet tone: "Zhenxi Wang Yuwen Taihao, I don't know if Xiaoyou understands?"
