Chapter 117: It's a foregone conclusion
As soon as Shen Zhong left the palace gate, Gan Ping ran back to greet him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today?" ”
"It's okay, prepare the carriage, hurry up and send me and my eldest grandson back home, I have something important to discuss with my wife." www.biquge.info"Shen Zhong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and some of his souls broke the peiyu on his waist, and the eldest grandson Hong was also worried, yesterday Li Xiaoyu had already instructed in every possible way, if someone recommended you to go to Longxi, you must not easily agree, now that I think about it, I am afraid that this is designed by someone."
"Your Highness, we were wrong at the beginning, I'm afraid that the person who aspires to the throne is not the second prince, but the seventh prince Shen Shuo, I look at what this person has done and the performance of today's courtiers, I'm afraid ..... Hu Zhongjie and others had already been bought by him. ”
"You still need to say this, then Hu Zhongjie used to waver between me and my second brother, and now that Shen Shuo has just come back, he has gathered Hu Zhongjie, Lei Xianhua and others under his command, I really don't know what kind of promise the Seven Princes promised Hu Zhongjie to make these wall grasses so loyal?" Eldest Sun Hong said a little distractedly, while Shen Zhong clenched his fists.
"Anyway, anyway, I've already agreed, this time I have to win the battle of Longxi!" Shen Zhong recovered from the distraction just now, and the eldest grandson Hong looked at Shen Zhong so confidently, and a sense of courage gradually rose in his heart.
"Your Highness, take me with you in this battle!"
"You're going too? You are a Confucian student to accompany me to the battlefield, don't worry, I'm not at ease. Shen Zhong smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your Highness, maybe you don't like to hear what I say, but I have to say that the princess of our family, there are some things that are considered more comprehensively than ours, and she is more accurate in looking at people, so if there is anything in the future, you might as well discuss it with her."
"Alas, eldest grandson, in fact, I also know that Li Xiaoyu is meticulous and does things more properly, but this woman takes herself too seriously, and when she is with her, more often she tries to suppress me."
The eldest grandson Hong smiled helplessly, "Your Highness, maybe the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, I found that sometimes you don't seem to care about the princess, you can renovate the entire palace for the sake of the Feng family's young lady, I guess you may not have given the princess any gifts, right?" ”
"Uh... This.... Indeed it is. ”
"Your Highness, then you might as well buy some gifts for her when you go back today!"
"Do you mean to let me please her?" Shen Zhong shook his head and patted Gan Ping, who was rushing in front of him.
"Gan Ping, go and accompany me to the sixth brother."
"I'm afraid the price of the sixth master's shop is not cheap, if he knows that you will have to increase the price when you go to the store to buy things, why do you want to go to him, Miss Feng's store can be cheaper." Gan Ping whispered.
"I'm going to buy a gift for Li Xiaoyu and go to Jin'er's store, Jin'er must know, I don't want her to know." After Shen Zhong finished speaking, Wang Xun was also stunned, he didn't expect that his own prince would buy a gift for the princess for the first time, he had the impression that Shen Zhong had never been very friendly to Li Xiaoyu, and it could be said that he was very mean!
Half of the reason why the sixth prince Shen Xiao can become the richest man in the capital is because of his own treasure pavilion, Shen Xiao's treasure pavilion is really all-encompassing and all-encompassing, and almost all the gifts from the children of the capital family go to Shen Xiao's shop.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the Treasure Pavilion, a servant came to greet him, and the man was wearing a green vest robe, and when he saw the carriage coming, he immediately carried a small stool, and as soon as they came, a group of people came to meet them.
"Oh, it's the Eighth Highness who has come down, but the Eighth Highness is rarely here, I'll help you call the Sixth Master." The little guy at the front was the most clever, and before Shen Zhong could agree, he ran back.
"Hmph, where did these people come from, they smell like a market, how can they feel like serious businessmen?" Shen Zhong said but heard a rush of footsteps, and went upstairs to see Shen Xiao, who was dressed in colorful clothes, and ran down, followed by several women dressed in flowers, huddled around him one by one, these women were dressed very plainly, and Shen Xiao was really like a flower set off by green grass.
"Sixth brother, why are you a big man who abuses himself so badly, wearing such strange clothes, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed." Talking to Shen Xiao, Shen Zhong is still quite friendly, he also knows that his brother is true temperament, except for his usual behavior is a little weird, he is still very good in all other aspects, and he also took care of himself when he was a child.
"Yo he, I can't afford this sixth brother, you will be the prince of the East Palace in the future, maybe you will be the emperor in the future, how can I take on the grass people?" Shen Xiao was very dissatisfied with Shen Zhong's evaluation of him, so he simply pushed back.
"Hehe, the sixth brother laughed, I'm a little prince, where can I compare to you, the richest man in the capital, who lives a chic life?" Shen Zhong said and put his hand on Shen Xiao's shoulder very kindly.
"Hmph, you kid, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, say, what are you selling when you come back to me?"
"Hey, Sixth Brother, do you have anything suitable for a girl as a gift?"
Shen Xiao turned his head to look at Shen Zhong, but after a while, he couldn't help but smile, "Hmph, the Feng family girl hasn't won it yet?" His father is no longer the prime minister today, can you continue to have a relationship with her? If you want me to say that the one in your family is many times better than that Feng Jin'er? You buy something for the Feng family's girl, is the silver belt enough? Shen Xiao patted Shen Zhong's pocket.
"Sixth brother, today I am buying a gift for Xiaoyu."
"Oh, then you go to the second floor to pick one, I didn't give any gifts when you and Li Xiaoyu got married, this is to make up for you, by the way, what did the father and emperor say today, is there going to be a fight with Longxi?" In every war, Shen Xiao was the first to get the news, and a large part of his business success was due to the fact that he made money from the war.
"Well, sixth brother, your business in Longxi will be arranged as soon as possible, and in less than March, this battle will start."
"It's only been three months? Who led the troops this time? ”
"Uh.... Shen Shuo and General Hu Lu led the Middle Route Army and penetrated directly into the hinterland of Weinan; Hu Luxun brushed his troops to the left flank and took the Hanzhong Plain; The last way is with me, go to Taiyuan. Shen Zhong's tone was flat, but there was a solemnity in his expression.
What kind of character Shen Xiao is, he can see at a glance that he is depressed, and he can't help asking, "What?" Is this a difficult thing to deal with? ”
"It's okay, sixth brother, I'll go pick a gift for Xiaoyu first, and I won't talk to you yet."
"Okay, there you go." Looking at Shen Zhong's back, Shen Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, so he stopped for a while before saying, "Eighth brother, if you are in trouble, go and ask the second brother." You may have some misunderstandings with him, but among our brothers, the second brother is most concerned about you and me, and I really don't blame him for the eldest brother's affairs. ”
"Hmm~" Shen Zhong smiled bitterly, what he saw and heard in the court today made his opinion of Shen Kang greatly change, but Shen Yi's death was still the mole between the two brothers.
It's past noon, Ande Wangfu is very lively, Li Xiaoyu got up late because she stayed up late last night, but according to the habit, when it was almost noon, she would always go to the back kitchen to take a look, chat with those cooks, exchange experiences, and occasionally show her hands.
"Miss, Ankang told me that he has arranged the route for us, as soon as the prince leaves home, we will take a boat directly down the Weishui River into the Changhe, all the way east, and then to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, to the south, but as soon as you leave, these industries in our capital will also follow us to the waste." Qingluo leaned on Li Xiaoyu's ear and said.
"Qingluo, money is something outside the body, as long as you can get out, it's worth it." Qingluo has not been exposed to this level, I don't know the depth, Li Xiaoyu's experience in these days can be regarded as rich, first the old lady told him that the eldest prince Shen Yi was killed by his father, and then discovered the strangeness of his father's fiasco in the battle of Beiyuan, coupled with the old lady's inexplicable dialogue, which made her have an inexplicable sense of crisis.
