Chapter 103: State and Family Affairs 5
I heard that it was a foreign businessman, and Zuo Chen was a big head again. Originally, there were some remaining goods, which were left for high-ranking officials and magnates to sort out their relationship with the foreign envoy, but they didn't want to be reminded by their uncle Yu Xianmin, and lost the idea of making a big profit. Now I want to push it clean, and the provincial chickens and eggs are boring. Thinking about it, I don't know if Prince Qing also came to ask for it, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious and upset.
"That businessman has such a big face, and there is even Prince Lao who shows his head." Zuo Chen smiled wryly, because he was in an unhappy mood, there were quite a few words in his words, and there was a faint sense of contempt.
The prince frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, "The envoy opened his mouth to ask, and it was not easy to refute his face, didn't he?" Besides, it shouldn't be difficult to ask for your brother-in-law, so you have no worries to accept it, who would have thought that you would sell it clean! Smiling slightly, he looked at Yu Xianmin, and said: "Fortunately, there is a little margin, I haven't lost my face, but it's also a fluke!" ”
Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You are in a hurry to admit your relatives, and you don't see whether I want to or not! Zuo Chen thought secretly, and felt even more panicked in his heart.
Yu Xianmin only felt that his temples were jumping suddenly! As long as it involves the royal family, the relationship is always complicated, not to mention the intertwined blood relationship, and the camp relationship and sphere of influence are even more entangled. As long as it is catchy, he will make tentative remarks, just like the current prince, obviously relying on family relationships, expecting Zuo Chen to serve his subordinates.
"It's not difficult to ask for a brother-in-law." Yu Xianmin had no choice but to echo the voice, and in order to avoid the prince's topic from being extended, he asked: "The prince's restaurant business has always been hot, and on the occasion of the envoy meeting of the foreign region, I believe that it is even more profitable. ”
"Well, it's okay, it's okay! Compared with the brother-in-law's rush, the benefits are even more incomparable. The prince said with a smile, looking at Yu Xianmin's eyes quite playfully, as if as he said, business is really a little unbearable. It's better to pick the day than to hit the sun, I haven't had a long talk with Lord Yu for a long time, can I enjoy the dinner party? ”
"Ugh! ......, the prince was gracious but disrespectful, but the teacher's words made the official a little embarrassed......"
The officialdom bosses are all good at Tai Chi, even if they are prevaricating, they are full of respect, such as Yu Xianmin's words are enough to give the prince face, and at the same time calculate that the prince will not compete with the prince, and he himself seems to be in a dilemma.
"In this way, it seems that the folk proverb is really not applicable to the official eunuchs, so please ask for another day." The prince smiled, glanced at the back of the window, and said, "There are still some things that have not been done, so don't leave it at that." As he spoke, he got up and arched his hand.
"Another day, this official will be the east, to thank you for your hospitality, and I hope that the prince will come at that time." Yu Xianmin got up and saluted back and said.
The prince smiled noncommittally and did not answer.
Coming downstairs, the prince looked at the entourage who was sitting in danger and got up quickly, and couldn't help frowning slightly and showing displeasure.
"Steward Wang, how did you do it? Don't even know how to be hospitable? Zuo Chen scolded sharply, secretly looking at the prince's expression.
“…… Yes!? …… Return...... Son...... Anyway, the kettle burned out yesterday, and the hot water you drank is still ...... Borrowed from the shop opposite. was caught off guard by Zuo Chen, but fortunately, Wang Ping was still clever and made up a set of nonsense in time.
"Brother-in-law! Your business is even more prosperous in such a big store, but you are really stingy, won't you have to bring your own tea next time? ”
“…… Uh, this time the lower official ordered someone to buy a few more pots, so as not to be embarrassed in the future, sorry, sorry! ”
The prince smiled, pointed at Zuo Chen with his finger but didn't say anything else, got out of the shop, and walked away with the support of his entourage.
Watching the prince go away, Wang Ping raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his fat face, and looked at Zuo Chen's eyes full of resentment.
"Uncle Wang, okay!" Zuo Chen arched his hand with a hippie smile, and said haha.
"The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked!" Yu Xianmin smiled and patted Zuo Chen's shoulder, "In the future, don't be so hasty!" It's out of everyone's grace! ”
"Lord Yu said this very much!" Wang Ping nodded, glanced at Zuo Chen, and said in his heart, it was all your bad idea, which made everyone unhappy, how could that group of followers not hold a grudge?
"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming! You're afraid of a ball! Despised by Wang Ping, Zuo Chen's temper exploded, and his eyebrows were full of anger.
"Come on! There is no end, such a filthy act, Ling Ran, who was said by your kid, ...... face, and went back to the house. Yu Xianmin wanted to say that Zuo Chen's face was thick enough, and seeing that Wang Ping was there, it would not hurt Zuo Chen's face, so he stopped in time and took his arm and went upstairs.
Wang Ping shrank his head, or is the adult open-minded, how can he be as dirty as the child!? Thinking about walking into the shop, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, and thought about it again, in fact, he looked at the palace attendants licking their lips thirstily, although he was hiding behind the counter and drinking secretly, he also had a feeling of being superior, and he couldn't help but agree with Zuo Chen's behavior again.
Thinking like this, I remembered to send water upstairs, and hurriedly carried the kettle in a panic and walked upstairs quickly.
Watching Wang Ping walk out of the living room, Yu Xianmin said: "Steward Wang is still clever, but I'm afraid that he will be taught bad by your kid!" ”
Zuo Chen smiled awkwardly, and did not answer according to his words, but asked, "Uncle, my cousin is quite hostile to the prince......" said and glanced at his cousin secretly.
"It's okay to talk to you, so as not to be ......confused in the future," Yu Xianmin said and looked at his daughter, sighed lightly, and said: "When I came to Kyoto five years to restore my life, it was also your cousin who accompanied me, because I dealt with the flood disaster in a timely manner, evacuated and comforted the victims properly, and was rewarded by the saint, the queen mother was ...... on a whim Xu Yi'er was the third prince and the princess, but it was not announced. It's been five years,......"
It turns out that the old man likes to mess with the mandarin duck score, and she refuses to declare her will as soon as she speaks, no wonder her cousin Tao Li Nianhua is still waiting for the boudoir.
"Isn't that just waiting?" Zuo Chen blinked his eyes and said again: "It's good that the old guy is dead, then he can't do it!" ”
"Your kid's open-mouthed problem has to be changed, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" Yu Xianmin paused slightly and said, "How can it be as simple as you say!" ”
Zuo Chen smiled wryly, "There are no outsiders with my uncle, so it's not in the way!" The little nephew didn't like the old man's behavior in his heart, not to mention the mandarin duck spectrum, but also picked up our family like this, I really don't know what his intentions are! Regardless of the feelings and thoughts of the parties involved, it seems to be a great good thing, a great kindness, which is really unreasonable! ”
Only then did Zuo Chen know why his uncle was a little indulgent to his cousin, not because he was not strict in his family education but because he felt guilty, but even so, his cousin was too disrespectful to the elders, could there be other hidden feelings? Thinking about it, he frowned and looked at his cousin, seeing that his face was full of disdain, he couldn't help but think even more.
"Come to think of it, my cousin must be reluctant, and I see that the three princes have no attachment, and the marriage has not yet been decided, so my uncle has not thought about how to make things yellow?"
"You kid is indeed a good person! Huangkou children also know how to be in love? Yu Xianmin was moved by Zuo Chen's positive appearance, and was even more pleased with his ability to observe words and colors.
"The father only thinks about the high-ranking officials and the suffering of the people, where can he take care of his daughter Xinfu?" So he couldn't hold his breath and said with resentment.
Yu Xianmin was accused by his daughter in front of the juniors, and he was immediately angry, suddenly afraid of the table, and said loudly in anger: "You! …… It's really getting more and more disrespectful, and more and more unseemly! Is being a father so unbearable in your eyes? ”
So when he saw that his father was moved and angry, he didn't even see any nervousness, so he didn't look at his head in anger, and he couldn't see it...... The heart doesn't have to be annoying!
"Uncle, your old ...... Don't get angry, you can't solve the problem just by getting angry, right? When Zuo Chen saw that his uncle was angry, he hurriedly started a round.
Yu Xianmin listened to Zuo Chen's words, like a candle flame swaying by the wind, flickering and about to be extinguished but still maintaining the fire, "Solve!?" Is it so easy, the word is also the will, how can a courtier resist the will and disrespect it!? ”
