Chapter 87: Mixed Feelings 2
"Brother-in-law, it seems that why is it so restrained, not as bold and free as rumored, is it because my eldest brother came uninvited?" The prince looked left and right, and then looked at Zuo Chen again.
Is it because of you that you are speechless, and dare to embarrass you in front of everyone? I knew that your prince was a big proprietor, and I knew that you were going to come to toast, and the fool would wait to be restrained by this! Zuo Chen secretly thought that Hou Jianbin didn't look like acting, but the dignified prince came to the scene for the reason of toasting, but it was not so reasonable.
"When I saw the prince for the first time, I was excited, and I didn't know what to say for a while, and I still hope that the prince Haihan!" As he spoke, he got up and bowed to the prince, and Zuo Chen, who was full of sincerity, just didn't call him uncle with the prince's words.
"In this way, it seems that my royal self-inflicted amorousness, the prince screamed a brother-in-law, and people didn't appreciate it, what did this make my royal face have? This is called the prince, how can I be embarrassed? The prince looked left and right again, as if he had been wronged and wanted to win the sympathy of everyone.
The extras were dutiful and shook their heads silently.
It turns out that there is really a cat, no wonder I feel that things are not normal, what feelings and good strategies are all tricks, and a set of big bosses' toasting rhetoric has taken a big detour, it is a trap? If there is a trap, there must be something to ask for, whether it is to win over or humiliate! If you can't tell the blue and white, you will be denounced as a crime of contempt for royal prestige. It's a good calculation!
Determined to continue watching the play, Zuo Chen said humbly: "The prince, please forgive the words of the lower officials......
The prince bowed his head and signaled.
"Xia Guan feels that being able to drink with the prince is a great joy in life. It's not that the lower officials regard themselves as high or don't know how to taste, thinking that the royal relatives and nobles are all talented people, how can it be something that people like me are looking forward to, and I am also wondering about the "brother-in-law", and I ask the prince to solve my doubts! ”
Zuo Chen didn't admit his death, and he also claimed that he was a talent of Yiqun, which made everyone stunned, and couldn't help but look at Hou Jianbin together.
Hou Jianbin, whose old face was flushed, snorted, "Prince Qing didn't reveal anything to you?" Impossible, right? ”
In Hou Jianbin's opinion, Zuo Chen's pretense is so shameless, even if his head is cut off, he doesn't believe it, Prince Qing will not explain such a major matter to him, especially Li Ziqin's nephew, as we all know, the Li and Liu families do not share the sky, and no one will break it on the bright side, and it is as clear as a mirror behind the scenes, or it can be said that the shadow in Zuo Chen's glass mirror is clearer, such a major matter, Prince Qing will not explain?
"Hou Shangshu, what kind of tone is it? The lower official is really confused, and please make it clear. Zuo Chen's face was confused, and he looked even more confused than others.
"Uh,......"
"After this early dynasty, it was rumored that Princess Ruxuan had the queen mother as the master of marriage, and Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was allowed. If it is not a person's tongue, it must be true. Zhou Tao started a round for Hou Jianbin in time, and there is no way to know whether what he said is true or not, and no one will be angry with a Shangshu lord and pull him to confront someone, right?
Zuo Chen estimated that Hou Jianbin and Zhou Tao should be colleagues in the same camp, and because they should have an inextricable relationship with the prince, they have gone from the original conversation of sticking to their respective interests to the current initiative to play a round for them, and then with the tacit cooperation of everyone and the prince, it can be seen that the protagonist of today's painstaking performance is Zuo Chen himself.
What virtue do I have, how can I go to such great lengths? Zuo Chen sighed secretly in his heart, he was very helpless in his heart, was it just because the emperor had a good eye on me, let them look at it differently? Zuo Chen felt that things were not so simple.
"Prince, my lords, this ...... has made the lower officials at a loss......" Zuo Chen said in a slurch, his eyes scanning the expressions of everyone, and he was indescribably nervous and dazed.
The prince took a deep breath, and there was no success in getting off the horse, looking at Zuo Chen's gaze, there was no longer aggressiveness, and he still smiled lightly, "In this case, it is that this prince is too eager to admit his relatives, and it must be the reason for the inconclusive conclusion, if it is a fait accompli in the future, you Liu Shilang can put up a banquet to thank you for your actions of ventilating and reporting the news in advance, do you think it is good?" ”
Just a few faces, you changed from brother-in-law to Liu Shilang, you are a good hand at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, so a little benefit will be quickly sought for the followers, no wonder you are the only one who looks forward to the identity of Shangshu Laochen, and it is estimated that it has also created a lot of opportunities for them.
Zuo Chen thought that the banquet was just a pretext, maybe selling favors was the real intention. So he said tentatively: "The prince's words are like a peerless wine, and the lower officials are actually a little drunk. The princes and the lords will definitely keep in mind, and if there is any gain in foreign trade this time, they will definitely reward you well. ”
Listening to Zuo Chen's words, the prince said in his heart, sure enough, the emperor still has a vicious eye, and it is indeed rare to be so old and stable at such an age, and when he compares himself with such an age, he still thinks about playing and causing trouble all day long, and his words are not so obscuring and demagoguery.
Everyone here also felt that the court's judgment on the second son was by no means groundless, and with the rumors that he had recently killed many people, he deserved to be brave and resourceful! looked at the prince and Zuo Chen vaguely, expecting that if they joined forces, there might really be a new world.
"What Liu Shilang means is to see the help of all the adults, if you have any ideas, you don't have to go around in circles, come, eat and chat together, this prince is also hungry now." As he spoke, the prince stretched out his hand to signal everyone, and took the lead in moving the chopsticks. Zuo Chen himself turned the topic on the track, and it was more important to delay the solution to the problem of hunger for the time being.
"Wine is the liquid of feudal politics, and it is the prop of political rule" is indeed true!
Pushing the cup and changing the lamp for a few rounds, even if Zuo Chen excused himself, he was still forced to drink two cups, if it wasn't for the prince seeing his young age to help him stop him, it is estimated that it is possible to be hard poured two more cups. Speak freely in a controlled mode of thinking, and express it through the strength of wine.
"I heard that Liu Shilang runs a shop, and the practical price of the goods is also expensive, but you want to use your goods to make a profit this time?" The prince, who had drunk the wine, became more and more red, and after stopping his glass, he asked softly.
Judging from the lightness of his language and sincerity, the prince really seems to be thinking about the profit of Zuo Chen's shop. In fact, it may not be out of sincerity, Zuo Chen feels that the ambiguous kinship relationship is relied on, and it may not be true and reliable, otherwise there is no point in forming a gang, and the prince does not have to go to such great lengths to contact him.
"If you go back to the prince, you do have some materials, and if you want to trade with foreign caravans, it is also a matter that the emperor has approved, and you need to help the translation hall try to help match, after all, language communication is not a simple matter." Zuo Chen focused on the prince's expression, with a smile on his face, looking like he was fascinated by money.
"Isn't that easy? Isn't it? Director Zhou is fully responsible for this translation matter, and it is not easy to discuss it with his own people? The prince said lightly.
Zhou Yucheng of the translation hall saw that the topic was on himself, and he knew that the time had come to show his ability, and the official position of translator was quite easy to say, but there was really no oil and water to get involved in usually, if it wasn't for the annual foreign mission to Beijing, who would think of him? Therefore, at this time of the year, I will stare at the top of my head, and carry the silver to deal with the relationship with the high-level, that is, ten days and a half months, and there is no room for loss in a fleeting way!
"Since the prince has spoken, then Liu Shilang's request will not be shirked even if the lower officials are stupid!" Zhou Yucheng swore that he was very generous and righteous!
Zuo Chen thought, it's just a translator, as for saying it so grandly, is it a matter? Keep up with the battlefield and be brave! I can't help but be a little funny, it looks like a wine bag and rice bag, and I feel very urban, bullying me at a young age and can't see the clues?
"Director Zhou's words are different, according to your statement, if Liu Shilang can't make a deal, wouldn't he blame this prince?" The prince said angrily.
"This week, the director is talking like this, how many times have I told him, but he doesn't have a long brain!" Zhou Shangshu was also angry, touched his hot face, and said: "Does the foreign caravan need Liu Shilang's materials, this is still a matter of two words, you can force others to purchase it?" Apparently just empty words! After speaking, he was very annoyed, and glanced at Zhou Yucheng.
