Chapter 611: The Five Princes
After Xue Jiu left, Yan Xu said to Xiao Shunzi: "You go and call Du Kang over." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Xiao Shunzi scratched his head: "Lord, Du Kang has returned to the capital." β
Yan Xu then remembered that Du Kang had already left in advance.
"Call Wu Xishui to come over."
Wu Qiushui was Du Kang's deputy, and he was a eunuch, but no one knew about it.
Back then, he was one of the chamberlains who followed Yan Xu to Fujian. At the age of eight, he was selected to train with Du Kang. The eunuch could not leave the palace casually without a will, so when he was ten years old, he faked his death and changed his name.
Whenever Du Kang is not there, he will definitely let Wu Qiushui protect Yan Xu.
Because of his clean body since childhood, Wu Qiushui was born with red lips and white teeth, short stature, and a person in his twenties looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and sometimes even dresses as a woman and pretends to be a palace maid.
Because he was born beautiful and often pretended to be a woman, he had a nickname, Wu Meiren.
Even Yan Xu knew the nickname of this Wu beauty, but he didn't think how beautiful Wu Qiushui was, and felt that when he didn't pretend to be a woman, he was similar to Xiaoshunzi, and when he pretended to be a woman, he was no different from the group of maids in the Linglong house.
However, Prince Rui's aesthetic can be ignored.
"The people of the Xue family still have to do business with the Yunnan horse gang, you keep an eye on the people of the horse gang, if there are goods on the ship, you must have checked them, if it is a tea cake, you have to brew it to see."
Yan Xu said a few more words to Wu Qiushui, Wu Qiushui said goodbye, and met Xiao Dezi running over.
"Wu Meiren, where are you going?" Xiao Dezi asked with a grin.
Wu Qiushui rolled his eyes, ignored him, and walked away.
Xiao Dezi made a faceless, and the two little chamberlains who followed behind him lowered their heads and laughed secretly, Xiao Dezi turned around and scolded: "Laugh again, laugh again, laugh again and tell Father-in-law Shun." β
The little chamberlains really didn't dare to laugh, although Xiao Dezi was only a seven-rank eunuch, he was used to selling well in front of the princess, and now he was the steward eunuch in Muxitang whose status was second only to Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Dezi turned around and went up to the corridor, and said through the curtain: "Your Highness, Lord Bao ......"
Without waiting for him to continue, Yan Xu said, "Come in and talk about it." β
Prince Bao is the fifth prince, and Princess Wen Ning got married, so he and Yan Xu came to send them off.
The fifth prince was fined for a year because of the princess Gu Qiaoyan's affairs, and the household department and the internal affairs office also added fuel to the fire.
It is said that for a while, the main gate and side doors of the Baowang Mansion were all closed, for fear that those who wanted to account would break in.
Emperor Jingwen also disliked him so much that he ignored him for a while, so that he didn't even have any errands, let alone making money, but Gu Qiaoyan made money to buy shares and do business, and the fifth prince was her husband, so of course he was implicated. No matter how much money can be made, if he wants to buy shares, others are all pushing back, for fear that he will be poor and crazy and do something in business.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the five princes are not a little annoyed in their hearts, but very annoyed and annoyed.
What annoys him even more is Yan Xu.
Before the princess and the concubine got married, the eight hundred miles of the capital arrived in an expedited manner, and Princess Rui was pregnant.
Twelve, this kid was so happy that he actually set up a gamble.
His father-in-law, Master Jin San, is a stammering man, who makes people hurry, worried that his son-in-law did not bring the silver for the reward outside, so he sent gold beans and silver buns, and exchanged them for a few sacks of copper coins.
In those days, the people below talked about how much reward they had taken all day long, and even the people around him ran to ask for it.
The fifth prince was so angry, he had long heard that the twelve boys spent all the money of Princess Rui, and now it seems that it is absolutely true.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to spend his wife's money, it is the most embarrassing to have a wife like Gu Qiaoyan like him.
These days, the five princes rarely come out, and they stay in the house when they have nothing to do, and they really don't want to see that gambler.
But even so, I can't hide from what is coming.
Today, there are two 800-li expedited from the capital, one is given to Yan Xu by Shanchen, and the other is from Prince Bao's mansion.
Gu Qiaoyan wants silver!
Gu Qiaoyan's two Zhuangzi who married in Tianjin, last year's harvest was too small, and they borrowed silver during spring sowing this year, but the growth was extremely poor, and the creditor came to the door, fought with the people in Zhuangzi, and died, and now he urgently needs silver to settle down.
After the fifth prince read the letter, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Anyone who knows a little about crops knows that although silver is used to buy seeds and sow seeds, you Gu Qiaoyan is not short of this money, and now there is a life, but since it is silver that can be settled, and others know that this Zhuangzi is yours, how much silver do you dare to ask? I don't believe you can't even get it.
He lost his temper in the house, and Xiao Dezi reported Yan Xu here.
Yan Xu laughed after hearing this, he, the fifth brother, is short of money.
He has always been lazy, but today he took the initiative to find the fifth prince.
Seeing him coming, the five princes frowned together, guessing that someone had gone to report the news, which was really embarrassing.
Yan Xu didn't ask, but talked to him about Xiao Qishan, the new science and technology horse.
The five princes were annoyed, so they had to deal with him lukewarmly, but they didn't expect Yan Xu to come to the spirit, from Xiao Qishan to Xiao Qishan's brother, the five princes were shocked, what is this kid going to do, Xiao Qishan's brother is now in Tianjin.
"Twelve, what the hell are you going to say?" He asked.
Yan Xu said with a smile: "I want to say that now the Xiao family is a relative, and the fifth brother wants to find someone from the Xiao family to do things, and it is not considered to be a courtier." β
The fifth prince's face was red, this kid knew everything, he knew that Gu Qiaoyan's pit woman was causing trouble in Tianjin.
"It's just a trivial matter, don't bother the Xiao family." He held on.
Yan Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Since it is a trivial matter, it is better to hand it over to my people, I also have some small businesses in Tianjin, and someone takes care of them there all the year round." Leave this matter to them to do, so that it will not spread to the ears of the imperial historian because it has something to do with the clan. β
The fifth prince was killed, but he didn't expect Yan Xu to be so enthusiastic.
In my memory, this kid is not so good.
"Twelve, do you have anything that you need Fifth Brother to come forward?"
Yan Xu smiled: "I remember seeing jade shallots in your house, but are there any more?" β
The fifth prince was stunned, although those jade shallots were in good condition, they would not let the twelve hang.
"Yes, do you want it?"
"Yes, when I go back, I will bother the fifth brother to send it to my house, the fifth brother is really bold, and I don't have to work hard again."
This last sentence can only be understood by Linglong.
Prince Rui meant that you would send me on your own initiative, lest I come to your house to "fetch" it.
"Fifth brother, there are also jade chili peppers carved there."
"No need, just the shallots, grab the week."
The fifth prince grinned, your child is still in the belly, you will give him to touch and grasp Zhou's objects now, is this a little early?
