Chapter 6: A Favor

Liang Wanchang They seem to come out to play, and they don't do anything every day. The two guards aside, although they were sometimes nowhere to be seen, they were still with their master and the little master most of the time. Liang Wanchang will sit in the front hall of the inn every day and chat with the travelers, listen to their stories, and feel the customs of various places. Unlike at home, he has very little time to spend with his daughter. The youngest daughter is smart and well-behaved, even if it is office work, she doesn't mind taking her daughter by her side. But when he got here, his daughter was hooked by the stinky boy named Beiqi and left him behind.

Beiqi wondered why this time grandpa was so indifferent. It stands to reason that if there are a few people who stay in the store for a few days in a row and don't leave or do anything, they will feel very uneasy, find out each other's identities and so on, and even find a way to get rid of them. This time, they have been living in the store and doing nothing, and Grandpa looks very happy. However, Beiqi was very happy, so that Qi Xin could play with her for a few more days.

In the backyard, two children sat side by side to help the seventh girl pick vegetables. The seventh girl was happy in her heart. Northern Qi is the age when he is curious about everything, and he is active by nature, and he gets into trouble every day. Since they came, for many days, he didn't cause trouble, and played quietly with his little sister.

"Brother Beiqi, why are we doing this?" Qi Xin is still young and ignorant, but she will do whatever Beiqi does.

"Because I can't take you to do those dangerous things, you'll get hurt, and my brother doesn't want you to get hurt. So let's just sit like this, okay. ”

When the seventh girl heard this, she really began to look at this little girl with admiration. When did his son ever be so sensible, and now he has learned to think about others. Do you really like this little girl? This kid is a little older.

"Oh."

Xiao Qixin nodded in agreement after hearing this. I don't know if I really understand, but I still obediently continue to pick vegetables carefully one by one with my little hands. Bei Qi stopped, threw away the dishes in his hand, and looked at Qi Xin next to him with his face up. He really felt that Qixin was so cute, and he always wanted to hold her hand, pinch her little face, and bite it......

"Miss, it's time to eat, the master is waiting in the front hall." Aoyama came from the front hall and saw two children sitting together. Although the two children are young, he still thinks that the stinky boy must have ill intentions towards his young lady, who is young and has a bad stomach. Qingshan took away the dish in Xiao Qixin's hand and put it on the ground. He glanced at Beiqi with slanted eyes, picked up Qixin and was about to leave.

"Uncle Qingshan, Brother Beiqi." Xiao Qi looked at Qingshan seriously, and then pointed to Northern Qi, who was still sitting in place.

Qingshan was helpless, and finally understood why the old man didn't come to hug Miss himself. When she was eating a few days ago, she saw the young lady crying and crying, otherwise it was with tear stains. The order that the master just gave was not to let the young lady come over crying. What else can I do.

"Ugh."

Qingshan sighed, and helplessly hugged Beiqi with his other arm.

Beiqi is happy in his heart. Stretching out a hand to Xiao Qixin across from him, he looked at her with a smile. Xiao Qi put his hand up without thinking about it. The two children held hands and began to laugh silly again. Only Aoyama was depressed, with a black face. He wanted to throw away Beiqi, but if he even fell down, it wouldn't be good.

The seventh girl looked at the backs of an adult and two children. I can't help but think of when I was a child, I also had such a good playmate, I didn't want to separate anything, and the two of them felt very happy holding hands. But that's all in the past. Her childhood playmate has long forgotten her name, and she herself has long since become a different person. Her only thought now is Beiqi, she wants to raise Beiqi well, and then, wait for that day to come.

At night, the two children fell asleep counting the stars on the stone in front of the small building, and the Seven Girls and the Aoyama Guard each picked up a child and returned to their respective rooms. After a while, the lights went out.

Liang Wanchang's room was still lit up with a little light. He folded the quilt for his sleeping daughter, walked to the window, and waited for Qingshui to come back.

After a while, a dark shadow fell in the courtyard of the backyard, and he walked quickly towards Liang Wanchang's small building.

'Squeak. ’

The sound of the wooden door was not loud, but it was particularly noticeable in the night. Qing Shui carefully closed the door and walked to the window.

"Lord Wang, the villain is back."

Liang Wanchang is not surnamed Liang. In fact, he doesn't have a surname.

None of the rulers in the world have surnames. I can't tell when the rules were handed down, but they are recorded in ancient books. Even if you have a surname, you have to abolish it after you become the Son of Heaven or the royal family. Take two meanings: one is that the Son of Heaven belongs to the world, and it is not something that can be monopolized by one family and one surname. The second is that the Son of Heaven must care about the world, not just care about the affairs of one family, every family is a family, the country is a family, and a family is a country. All members of the royal family will be recorded, but they will have no surnames and all names.

Liang Wanchang's name was fabricated by him. The surname was borrowed from the two brothers. The name is also fabricated. His real name is Yongchang, but he thinks the name Yongchang is too big, so he is called Wanchang. And this Yongchang is the eleventh son of the current emperor of Qingguo, the prince of Yongchang. The prince of Yongchang is actually well-known to people. The prince of Yongchang is young, and the throne has nothing to do with him, so he never mixes in political affairs. As an adult, he begged his father to reward him with several overseas islands and immersed himself in business.

It is also known for this.

Everyone said that the emperor rewarded him with the Golden Island, and on the national rich list, his name has been on the third year since the emperor rewarded him with the island, and he has been climbing up every year, and has climbed to the top five in recent years. Everyone knows that he is good at business, not in a certain position of power, and willing to give. In fact, the last kindness was thanks to his brothers, who every year, his brothers had to find all kinds of excuses to borrow money from him, so that he had to donate all the money. However, it is true that the prince of Yongchang is good at business, let's just say those islands, when the emperor rewarded him, they were just a few desert islands, and they were even uninhabited. It was he who found the right business opportunities, built civil engineering, grafted varieties, immigrated good people, developed maritime shipping, and pioneered the amusement industry, etc., so that these desert islands came alive and became golden islands that dignitaries and nobles wanted to share.

However, this big businessman, Prince Yongchang, is not here to do business.

"Well, do you have any more questions?"

Qing Shui's face was a little ugly, but he still said honestly,

"No, sir."

Prince Yongchang didn't speak, just quietly looked at the small building opposite. Qing Shui maintained his original posture and did not dare to speak. This errand is something he didn't do well.

"Forget it, it seems that he is indeed a master. Qingshui, you've worked hard these days. ”

"Lord Wang, the little one will find a way to go."

"That's it."

Prince Yongchang closed the window and turned around. Straighten your clothes.

"Our movements have been getting bigger and bigger day by day these days, and they should have heard the movement in comparison. Since it still can't be found, there is really no way. However, since you have made a start, you have to start and finish well. ”

"Lord Wang, it's Qingshui's errand that hasn't been done well, you can punish me."

After Qing Shui finished speaking, he knelt down.

"Qingshui, what are you doing, such a big movement, what should I do when Xiao Gege wakes up."

"Lord Wang, me."

"Alright, alright."

The prince lifted the green water on the ground.

"Qingshui, you and your brother have been by my side for so many years, I know your skills, but this time, we did accidentally touch the stone."

Qing Shui looked at the prince gratefully, but still asked worriedly.

"Then the prince, what should we do now? You just said we were exposed. ”

"What are you afraid of, if it's exposed, go up and take a look."

Qing Shui looked at the prince differently, but he was immediately recovered. The prince of his family is like this, with a heroic spirit, otherwise he and his brother would not follow him so much.

"Okay, you watch little Gege here, I'll take a look."

"Lord Wang, tell the little one to come with you, or the elder brother."

"No, the king will come by himself. Feel relieved. ”

Qing Shui saw that the prince had already made up his mind, and did not stop him any longer.

Prince Yongchang walked out of his small building and walked towards another small building.

"Lord Wang, please stay."

Prince Yongchang immediately stopped. He was a little surprised that he hadn't noticed anyone in the courtyard after standing by the window for so long. He followed the direction of the voice, and out of the darkness came a man in a nightcoat with his face covered.

"Lord Wang, please let me go down and report.".

He nodded, and stopped where he was. After a while, the man stepped forward. He wasn't worried that the man would hurt him, after all, he hadn't done anything, and a person wouldn't hurt others for no reason.

"Lord Wang, please go to the second floor."

He nodded, and walked to the antechamber, vaguely feeling that the person behind him was back where he was. There was a small light in the front hall, and the little two who were watching were on a table in the corner. He tiptoed up to the second floor, and sure enough, he saw that the shopkeeper was already waiting.

"The prince of Yongchang really lives up to his reputation, he has great courage, and he actually came alone, which really surprised the old body."

"Boss Guan is also very smart, he knows my whereabouts, but I don't know yours."

Prince Yongchang stood at the top of the stairs and did not advance, and Gong Zhu was also sitting in his original seat. The two people looked at each other, their faces did not change, but they didn't know how many turns they had turned in their hearts, and they estimated each other. It was Gong Zhu who spoke first, stood up, and bowed to the prince of Yongchang.

"The villain's surname is Guan, his name is just a code name, and he opened a small hotel here safely and securely, with his family. But I don't know, why did the prince come from afar and ask around about the villain? ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Qingshan Qingshui has been busy for a few days, and he hasn't heard anything, and he can't be sure if the other party is someone he can afford to provoke. However, depending on the other party's attitude, he can still say a few words.

"This king was just passing by, and seeing that Boss Guan had an extraordinary temperament, he accidentally became curious, but he didn't expect to disturb Boss Guan."

As he spoke, the prince approached the table, walking extremely cautiously step by step, until he walked to the opposite side of Gong Zhu.

"Lord Wang, please take a seat."

Gong Zhu asked the prince to sit down, and he sat down too. He poured a bowl of tea for each of them.

"It's not a nuisance, it's just that over the years of doing business, there are always some troubles, so I'm more sensitive, although I'm an old man, but my parents and children left early, and the people in the family still need me to protect."

After speaking, Gong Zhu drank his own bowl of tea and poured another bowl. The prince also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Boss Guan is really a good means, but the people who watch the house in the backyard are also amazing, and they don't know how to exist for so many days."

"Presumably the prince is talking about a flower face. The flower face is a person in the rivers and lakes, and it was left in the store by chance a few years ago. On weekdays, Huayan doesn't like to see people, and stays in the backyard all the time, but sometimes he helps me look after the house, and I don't force him. ”

Prince Yongchang sighed in his heart. I don't know if what Boss Guan said is true or not, if it's true, then it's really too good.

"Although Boss Guan is the boss, he has a bit of a heroic spirit."

"Haha, the prince is really joking. But since the prince said so, then the prince can say anything directly, and the old body will definitely tell the truth. ”

Wang Ye was a little surprised, he originally thought that the conversation between the two would last for a long time, but he didn't expect that the other party would have a showdown with him so soon, could it be that he didn't find out the details of the other party, but he was looked at by the other party clearly?

"Don't be surprised, the old body doesn't know what the prince is coming to do, what the prince wants to ask. It's just that the old man asked his wife to accompany her out to pick dew after a while. ”

“…… Oh, yes. ”

Gong Zhu smiled, indeed, he didn't know what this rich prince was here for, he just felt that the prince was not bad, and it shouldn't be a bad thing to bring.

"Since Boss Guan is so frank, then, this king will say it directly."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Boss Guan, this king is actually going to the Northern Qi Kingdom this time, another deal, this king wants to go and see it in person, by the way, take Xiao Gege on a tour, and listen to what the people who come and go on the official road say. It's just that on the way, I overheard someone mention that there is a Chunfu mother-in-law who is very good at medicine, so I came to take a look. ”

This time it was Gong Zhu's turn to be surprised. What the? Spring Blessing?

"Oh, so that's the case, just say it if the prince is uncomfortable, although the old woman's medical skills are not as evil as the outside world, but she does have some skills, the prince opens his mouth, she won't help the prince to see. Why do you need more ways to listen? ”

Gong Zhu said sincerely, in fact, he won't stop watching it, or rush to see it.

"Oh, it's not that the king is sick, it's ......"

The prince of Yongchang wanted to speak and stopped. Gong Zhu was very familiar with this expression.

"Yes, Emperor?"

The prince thought about it for a long time and still said it.

"Yes, it's my father. My father's health is getting worse and worse, and the king has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but it's not always good, this time I happened to learn about the mother-in-law of Chunfu, and the king wanted to ask the mother-in-law to show the father, so it was ......"

Speaking of this, the prince of Yongchang was a little embarrassed, and he really bothered others.

"Oh, that's right."

It's hard for Gong Zhu to say anything else right now. Although he didn't feel angry that the prince investigated him, but, what should he say about the rest of this? The words are all said, is it really Yao Chunfu to see the emperor?

"Boss Guan, that's it, this king still wants to ask you to let Granny Chunfu go back to Beijing with me to see my father."

For a long time, Gong Zhu didn't speak. The prince didn't urge, he knew that the more old people were, the more reluctant they were to leave the place where they lived, so he was also waiting, waiting for the result of Gong Zhu's consideration.

After a long, long time, the tea was so cold that even the candle flame was about to go out. Gong Zhu finally spoke.

"Since the prince has such an attitude, the old body's refusal seems to be unkind."

The prince was just about to get up and thank Gong Zhu, but Gong Zhu stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"The prince is slow, and I also ask the prince to promise the old man a condition."

"Boss Guan, please speak."

"Lord Wang, I owe the old man a favor."

"What?"

A favor? A favor, whether it is big or not, whether it is small or not, it all depends on the individual.

The prince thought for a while and agreed. After all, there is a lot of business, and favors are often owed, so it will be good to come back when the time comes. owes a favor, pays back a favor, and can shorten the distance between the two sides by coming and going, and there is nothing to lose.

"Okay, that's it."

Miyatake smiled. The prince also smiled.

Gong Zhu thought to himself, finally with another layer of protection.
