Chapter XXVII: Suspected Extortion
King Fu is completely light and simple today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Except for Chang Sheng, who pretended to be a coachman, he only brought Doudou as a "little girl" by his side.
But his noble identity is there, how dare the little Yunni Villa steward slack off.
It's just that the steward's eyesight is extraordinary.
King Fu only returned to the capital once in a few years, and rarely appeared in Yunni Villa, and he did not inform in advance that he would come today, and he did not even set up a guard of honor.
The steward recognized at a glance that the person who came was His Royal Highness King Fu, who had a venerable status, and he was not in a hurry to deal with it properly, which showed that there were still capable people under the old gentleman of Cheng Enhou.
King Fu didn't care about this, and said loudly: "Get up, this king is here to play today, so there is no need to make these false courtesies." ”
The steward stood up with the servants and said very respectfully: "The servant is Pei Fu, the steward of the villa, I don't know if the prince is coming, please get on the sedan chair." ”
After that, he gave a slight high-five, and soon a sedan chair man appeared at the gate of the villa carrying several soft sedan chairs.
King Fu smiled: "Lao Pei just loves to play with these vain things, and it is not a high mountain or a long road, and he also prepares these things, let them all retreat, and you accompany this king to walk around." ”
A "Lao Pei" was very familiar, making everyone want to laugh and dare not laugh.
Where did Pei Fu dare to refuse, he hurriedly sent the little maid and the sedan chair driver away, bowed down to the side to accompany him, and led the three of King Fu towards the villa.
Yunni Mountain Villa is built on the mountain, and there is a small lake at the foot of the mountain, although it is winter at this time, the scenery is still very pleasant.
King Fu intended to take Doudou to see the whole picture of the villa, so he refused the steward's arrangement to invite him to take a soft sedan chair.
Fortunately, it was not the rainy season at this time, his leg disease did not attack, and he walked very vigorously, not like an old man over half a hundred years old.
Chang Sheng followed King Fu's pace very briskly, but it was Doudou, and he didn't know what was wrong today, and the whole person was a little unmotivated, and he didn't like to talk like she did on weekdays, but it was also in line with her identity as a little maid today.
Fortunately, she is also a person with internal strength, so there is no problem in walking such a little way.
Pei Furen is as his name suggests, he looks very rich, and he is a good hand at observing words and feelings, and he can't walk up.
Don't look at his appearance as early as he was in his thirties, he was out of breath after not taking a few steps, and it took all his strength to barely keep up with the pace of King Fu and the others.
Coupled with the fact that King Fu occasionally asked him one or two questions, the qi was even more insufficient.
He just wanted to stand and take a breath, when King Fu spoke again: "Steward Pei." ”
"The minions are here. He gritted his teeth and smiled.
"What is Lao Pei doing?" King Fu walked for a long time before he remembered that he hadn't asked about the master's situation, so he simply called Pei Fu over to ask a few questions.
Pei Fu said: "Back to the prince, my lord ate and listened to the play with a few friends last night, and he didn't fall asleep until almost five watches, and he didn't get up at this time." ”
King Fu smiled: "Old Pei Ke really enjoys it, but now that he is not older than he was back then, it is the best policy to go to bed earlier." ”
Pei Fu hurriedly bowed and said: "The prince's words are really good words, and the servant has thanked you for your concern for my lord." ”
King Fu didn't answer, just smiled, and then pointed to a courtyard not far away: "Bean girl, the cockfighting arena is built there." ”
After that, he looked at Pei Fu and said, "Steward Pei, the cockfighting arena is very profitable?"
Chang Sheng and Doudou almost laughed again, who has ever seen such a question, the old prince is really amazing.
Obviously said affirmatively, but in an inquiring tone.
Sure enough, Pei Fu was a little anxious, did His Royal Highness King Fu come to play today, or did he come to investigate Yunni Villa at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor?
Or do you want to find out about the income of the villa, waiting for the opportunity to knock on his marquis?
He has been the steward of the villa for more than ten years, and the children of the royal family and the powerful have seen a lot, but he was stunned by the words of His Royal Highness King Fu, who made him sweat all over his body in the cold.
He sneered: "The prince said that he was laughing. ”
King Fu really smiled: "Steward Pei is not a sincere person, what's so embarrassing about such a simple sentence? Of course, these things are for fun, and it's normal to make a few dollars and spend them by the way, after all, it costs a lot of money to maintain every grass and tree here." ”
Pei Fu doesn't know how to answer anymore, and the truth of saying more and more wrong can be applied at any time.
King Fu refused to let go of such a great opportunity.
He pointed at Doudou and said, "Steward Pei, this little girl next to me is learning to settle accounts recently, why don't you let her practice and apply what she has learned!"
Doudou said with a smile: "Lord Xie gave the slave and maid a chance, and the slave and maid are willing to practice diligently." ”
King Fu stroked the long beard under his chin with satisfaction: "Steward Pei told me how much the cockfighting arena spends in a year, how much does it earn, and how much does it net earn?"
Don't be nervous, this king is not your peer, and he won't talk around, but just ask casually. ”
It's Sima Zhao's heart!
However, Pei Fu dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to say: "Although the cockfighting arena sounds quite profitable, it only sounds like a considerable amount, and in fact the expenses are very large, and there are less than 1,000 taels left throughout the year." ”
What a liar!
Doudou and Chang Sheng pouted together, the benefits of your steward are more than one thousand taels a year!
King Fu didn't care, and said to Doudou: "Dou girl remembered, the cockfighting arena is a thousand taels." ”
Doudou responded: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
In this way, King Fu and the others spent half an hour turning around several of the most profitable places in Yunni Villa.
Although Doudou didn't know exactly what King Fu wanted to do, he still pretended to seriously calculate how much money the villa earned in a year for Cheng Enhou.
When the group arrived at Chengenhou's residence, Steward Pei didn't know whether he was tired or frightened, and the whole person almost fainted.
The maids and servants served hot tea and snacks to the three of them.
The tea is superb, and the dim sum is very delicate and delicious, but the three of them only tasted it.
Why? Save your stomach and eat well later!
It didn't take long for Cheng Enhou to get up.
Knowing that His Royal Highness King Fu was coming to Yunni Villa, Cheng Enhou looked very happy.
After freshening up and changing his clothes, he quickly made his way to the main hall.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Doudou has met the legendary No. 1 gentleman in the capital.
At the age of fifty, he is quite handsome, and he is three or four points similar to Pei Tingyan.
"The old minister sees His Royal Highness King Fu. After Cheng Enhou saluted, he smiled and said: "Which fragrant wind blew you to the house today, the old minister is really fortunate to have three lives!"
The children of the gentleman are generally good at patting on the back, and the old gentleman is even more proficient in this.
King Fu was also not polite, and laughed loudly: "Lao Pei, we have also been friends for decades, there is no need to be so polite, this king is here to play today." ”
Rao is Cheng Enhou is thick-skinned enough to be dizzy by King Fu.
Lao Pei: This title sounds a little weird.
How could he not remember how old his friendship with King Fu was?
Although the two are of the same age, they don't follow the same path when they are children.
If it weren't for the fact that his grandson had a marriage contract with his granddaughter, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to His Royal Highness King Fu at all.
It's just that the marriage contract of the two children has been canceled, what is the old thing Fuwang still doing on his own territory?
As for the sentence that came to play, it is even more unbelievable.
