118. Meat buns beat dogs
In the majestic palace
The emperor walked in front with the hand of the chief eunuch beside him, and Nangong Mo followed behind alone and walked slowly with the emperor's pace. He was followed by a large list of palace maids and eunuchs. Looking at the palace in front of him, which was obviously full of people but always quiet, Nangong Mo secretly sighed in his heart.
Since he gave Qiao's mother and son a lesson a few days ago, Nangong Mo has never heard of the three mothers and sons of the Qiao family. It's just that I don't know if they fell silent by themselves, or if they were restrained by Nangong Huai. No matter which one it is, it makes no difference to Nangong Mo, the opponent of Qiao's mother and son is not her.
It's just that compared to Qiao's mother and son, Nangong Mo now found that he had another trouble. The Emperor seemed to have become very fond of summoning her to the palace. Sometimes she just went to the palace to ask for peace, sometimes she would accompany the emperor to talk, and sometimes she would even ask her to take the emperor's pulse and prescribe medicine. Nangong Mo didn't know if the medicine emperor she prescribed was useful, but she really didn't like places like the palace. Sure enough, it was still too noisy before? She's tried not to make trouble. I don't know if it's because Nangong Mo often enters the palace, and the emperor also hangs Wei Junmo close to the palace to be responsible for the palace guards. Originally, this was the thirteen guards who took turns to be in charge, and Wei Junmo had just taken office and it was not his turn to be close to the emperor on such an errand. However, since the emperor ordered it, a qiē is naturally not a problem.
As a result, rumors began to circulate in the Jinling Imperial City that the prince of Jingjiang County was reused by His Majesty. The number of people who came to visit every day began to increase, and the eyes of the Jingjiang County Wang family became more solemn and vigilant when they looked at Wei Junmo.
Girl, what are you thinking? The emperor looked back at Nangong Mo and asked with a smile.
After getting along for so many days, the emperor still has a little understanding of Nangong Mo. Although this girl looked dignified at this time, and there was nothing wrong with her eyes, the emperor knew that her mind was no longer on the road in front of her. I don't know what's going on in my head. The more they got along, the more regretful the emperor became, why didn't such a woman find out earlier. If he could point out to Qianye thinking of this, the emperor shook his head, and had to admit that his favorite grandson, Xiao Qianye, might not be able to control this woman. Even his grandson Wei Junmo is afraid that he may not be able to fully control this woman, so Wei Junmo is always more indulgent when he gets along with her.
The emperor, who is accustomed to being the only one on the top, does not understand that sometimes connivance is also a form of restraint. You are unique when no one else in the world can pamper her so much but you.
Nangong Mo blinked his eyes and said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, I didn't think about anything.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and lied in front of me, girl, do you know what the crime is? Nangong Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: I was thinking about what to eat at noon, and I didn't dare to stain His Majesty's ears. She really didn't lie this time, even if she was distracted in a place like the palace, it was not suitable to think about important things. What's more, besides, she doesn't have anything important to think about right now.
The Emperor laughed and said, "Oh? Did you come up with that?
Nangong Mo sighed, in the palace, it is natural that His Majesty will eat whatever he says.
The emperor thought about it and said with a smile: I am tired of eating the dishes in this palace, why don't we go out to eat?
Think! As soon as the emperor's words fell, the palace maids and eunuchs behind him knelt on the ground. Now that the emperor's health is not good, the imperial doctor has long instructed him to be careful in his diet and daily life, but he has been hiding it from people outside. Nangong Mo didn't understand, what was the use of the emperor holding on to his illness so desperately and not telling others about his own illness? If something does happen, wouldn't it be even worse to be caught off guard.
The emperor snorted lightly and said, "I don't like to hear what you think twice." What else can happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Jinling City? What does Gyeonggi Wei eat? Girl, don't you say?
Nangong Mo twitched the corners of his lips secretly, what else can I say if you say so? What's more, where are these people worried about any danger? Instead, I was worried that His Majesty's body would not be able to bear it. Fortunately, the emperor didn't want to embarrass her, so he waved his hand without waiting for her to answer: Get up, go and call Jun Mo and go together.
Nangong Mo felt that she could feel the resentment of the guards and palace maids and eunuchs present. Who let her mention the emperor to eat so that she wanted to run out, if something happened, she wouldn't be unlucky to die? But the emperor has made up his mind to do something, and it is obviously not something that can be changed by just someone.
Two quarters of an hour later, the emperor was satisfied, taking Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, as well as a chief eunuch and a few guards, out of the palace in civilian clothes and strolling through the streets of the Jinling Imperial City. The imperial city is still very lively, people come and go, as the emperor can not often go out of the palace, the emperor is actually quite a little regretful in his heart. Born in troubled times and born poor, he was not qualified to see such prosperity when he was a child and a teenager. By the time Great Xia was opened, the people who were the founding kings had lost the freedom to go wherever they wanted, and they only occasionally went out quietly without telling the courtiers, but they only walked around the inner city. Now that he is old and has a lot of health, he has fewer opportunities to come out.
Looking at the leisurely appearance of the people passing by, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. I just don't know whether I am satisfied with the prosperity of Jinling today or satisfied with the achievements of my own governance. Looking back at Nangong Mo, he asked, "Tell me, where are we going to eat?"
Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said with a smile: Naturally, the master will go wherever he says.
The emperor snorted lightly and said, "In this case, I heard that there is a Tianyi Pavilion in Jinling Imperial City now, and the dishes are very good, so let's go and have a look."
Sir, please. The emperor really knew that Tianyi Pavilion was her property, and she really deserved to be the emperor, and she could know the news outside well while sitting in the palace. However, such a sharp intelligence network did not check on his sons and grandchildren, and also checked her as a woman who had nothing to do with each other, is the emperor really too idle?
Nangong Mo doesn't come to Tianyi Pavilion very much, Lin Changfeng is very good at doing business, as long as he mentions a little bit of it, he can do it perfectly, and even Nangong Mo himself may not be able to do better than him. Therefore, Nangong Mo is naturally happy to be a shopkeeper.
As soon as I entered Tianyi Pavilion, I heard a noisy noise coming from inside. Nangong Mo couldn't help frowning, Tianyi Pavilion was not an ordinary teahouse and wine shop was very lively. On weekdays, there is a quiet and serene atmosphere, and the diners who come here enjoy the tranquility and elegance that is different from other places.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er, who was dressed neatly and neatly, hurriedly greeted him, and saw Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo stunned for a moment before he stepped forward to say hello with a smile, I have seen the prince, the princess, and the old gentleman. Three people in please. Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo have been here a few times, although Xiao Er doesn't know that Nangong Mo is the real owner of this Tianyi Pavilion, he also knows that the two of them have an excellent relationship with Changfeng's salary.
The emperor nodded, looked at the surrounding furnishings, and said, "This place is not bad, but what's going on in your family?"
Xiao Er looked at Nangong Mo and said helplessly: It is indeed a small matter, please forgive me for disturbing the peace of the old man. A few of you, please, let's keep the side rooms that the prince and the princess like.
Looking at the curious eyes cast by the emperor, Nangong Mo asked helplessly: What happened? Is the wind there? Lin Changfeng has a good relationship with Wei Junmo, which is something that everyone in Jinling knows, but there is no need to hide it, not to mention that it is ridiculous to cover up this kind of thing in front of the emperor. The emperor even knew that she was the main master of Tianyi Pavilion, but he didn't know Lin Changfeng?
Xiao Er sighed and said, "It's the head of the Lin family who is here." If it continues like this, I don't know if we can open it this day. When Xiao Er said this, he naturally hoped that Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo would help him in their friendship with Lin Changfeng. didn't know that even if he didn't have a relationship with Lin Changfeng, Nangong Mo wouldn't let it go. Because this is her own industry, if she really lets the head of the Lin family smash it, who will accompany her loss?
The group sat down in the wing room where Nangong Mo and the others often came. Even though they were far away, some noises could still be faintly heard. The emperor asked: Why, this head of the Lin family can still smash his son's business? Xiao Er said helplessly: But isn't it? What kind of family is the Lin family, they naturally look down on their son-in-law's business affairs, and they are covered with copper stench. Since the head of the Lin family knew that the first pavilion was opened by the prince of Changfeng on this day, he came to make trouble from time to time. A few days ago, I also dragged Changfeng Gongzi back and beat him. It's a pity that our son's injury hasn't healed yet, and now there are still relatives of the Lin family, who come to us to eat and drink every now and then, but they always owe money, or what kind of big family, I haven't seen anything like this
When it comes to the Lin family, Xiao Er has endless complaints, obviously he doesn't have a good impression of the Lin family.
After a while, the tea and snacks came up first. Listening to the noise outside as if there was no end, the emperor pointed to the guide palace and said: Go, see what is going on. Nangong Mo smiled lightly: What else can it be? The Lin family is one of the most prestigious families in Jinling, so naturally they can't allow the children of the family to use cheap business to tarnish their reputation. In fact, being a merchant is not a cheap business, although the status of a merchant is indeed much lower than that of a farmer. But in the eyes of the Lin family, I am afraid that it is no different from cheap business.
The emperor frowned and said: I remember that kid from the Lin family, was he disqualified from the imperial examination back then? Since you can't be an official, there's nothing wrong with doing a business to support your family. What family doesn't have a little property in their hands? Although he is an emperor, he doesn't have any idea of being a businessman, it's all those who are poor and fastidious, so they have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. In the eyes of the emperor, except for himself and the prince's sons and grandsons, the rest of the people are all courtiers, and no one is noble. It is only to devalue the status of the merchant in the interest of ruling the country.
Nangong Mo got up and said with a smile: Obviously, the head of the Lin family doesn't think so. Moreover, the family controls the property in its hands and manages the property in person, but it is completely different. Those children of the family will not take care of the shop and land in their hands even if they are no longer successful, and the great thing is to look at the account books from time to time. In the Furong Hall on the second floor of Tianyi Pavilion, there was a tense atmosphere at this time. Tianyi Pavilion is quite large, accounting for the best five or six shops on this street, with two floors above and below and a backyard, and a four-story pavilion in the middle. Five or six courtyards were opened up, and a beautiful garden was built in the backyard, which made many literati and scholars forget to return. In addition, in addition to many wings with different furnishing styles, there are also six flower halls where guests can be entertained. This was specially designed by Lin Changfeng according to Nangong Mo's prompts. The source of customers is naturally the imperial examination once every three years, those who are on the list, the vassals who like to feast on guests in Jinling City, the elegant literati, the gentlemen, and so on. Although it is empty most of the time, since its opening more than two months ago, as long as a flower hall has guests to be chartered, the income is equivalent to the income of the entire Tianyi Pavilion for seven or eight days.
At this time, there is no tranquility and elegance and delicious food outside in Tianyi Pavilion. Lin Changfeng stood straight in the hall and looked directly at the middle-aged man on the seat, the lazy smile on his handsome face had long since disappeared, leaving only indifference and rebelliousness. In the huge hall, at the top sat a middle-aged man in his early forties. Although he is over the age of confusion, he still has a little elegance and handsomeness, and he is the head of the Lin family's generation and Lin Changfeng's father. There were also a few young people with different expressions sitting below, and next to the head of the Lin family sat a middle-aged man and woman in his thirties and fives, who was the stepwife of the head of the Lin family.
One more time for you, Father! Are you going to go back?! The head of the Lin family pointed at Lin Changfeng and said angrily.
Lin Changfeng smiled mockingly, what are you going back for? Hit by you again and lie in bed and can't get up?
Touch!
The head of the Lin family slapped the table hard, and said sharply: It is better for me to kill you than to let you fall willingly!
Stoop? Lin Changfeng sneered, well said, how can you call yourself unwilling to fall? Like these people, go to Qinglou and flower wine every day, and don't pay for meals? Playing the autumn wind everywhere? After your precious son inherits the position of head of the family, he will look up to others and rely on others to give him a mouthful of food? I'm not so cheap!
The faces of several young people present were a little unsightly. A ten-year-old boy stepped forward and said: Big brother, what are you talking about, we are all brothers, how could Lin Changfeng interrupt what he was about to say with a sneer, and said lightly: This son doesn't need you to be pitiful. Father, haven't you kicked me out of the house? What are you doing now?
The head of the Lin family said angrily: Even if you are driven out of the house, I will not allow you to insult the reputation of the Lin family!
Father's meaning is that I can't have the surname Lin in the future, right? Lin Changfeng shrugged calmly and said: It doesn't matter, I won't have the surname Lin in the future.
Unfilial son! Unfilial son! The head of the Lin family trembled with anger, and Mrs. Lin, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly comforted him, and said over and over again: "Eldest son, you can say a few words." The old man has already Lin Changfeng disdainful, shut your mouth, and put your stepmother's score in front of this son. It's disgusting to see you and your son behaving in a coated manner.
Licentious! The head of the Lin family was furious.
Lin Changfeng didn't seem to see the anger of the Lin family master, raised his eyebrows and looked at the few young people next to him, and said, "Aren't you instigating the old man to come to find trouble, just to ask for money?" Can't the son of the Lin family even afford to pay for a meal? It doesn't matter, my son has money, so I should reward you! Come! Lin Changfeng clapped his hands, and after a while, the four little two walked in with plates, and all the silver ingots on the plates were silver ingots. Each one was ten taels in one, and for a moment several young men couldn't help but look straight. Each of the four men carried a plate filled twenty silver ingots, which amounted to a full eight hundred taels.
For the son-in-law of the Lin family, such as Lin Changfeng's younger brother, eight hundred taels may not be nothing. But for these children who are side branches or even distant relatives, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money. No matter how rich a family is, there are also a few poor relatives, and the struggle in a wealthy family is unimaginable to outsiders. These side branches like them are not rich themselves, but they still bear the reputation of the Lin family and do not want to lose face in front of outsiders, and the cost is even more expensive. Therefore, life is also stretched from time to time. What do these people like to flatter the second son born to the Lin family? It's not so that when the son of the Lin family can leak something to them. What's more, even if it is the little son of the Lin family, he has not yet taken charge of the family and has not yet shared the property, and eight hundred taels is not something that can be taken casually.
Lin Changfeng picked up a silver ingot, shook it in his hand, and then casually smashed it towards a person.
Ouch! Ten taels of silver smashed on people, even if Lin Changfeng did not use internal force, it was definitely not light. The person who was smashed groaned and grabbed the silver ingot tightly without caring for his face. Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and ordered with a smile: Smash this son, and I'll be responsible for smashing it to death! Didn't they want money? Ben Gongzi's fingers leak a little bit casually, and it is much more than them flattering Lin Chang'an!
Yes, Childe! Tianyige has been annoyed by the Lin family a lot these days, even the juniors are very annoyed. At this time, he was naturally very happy to be able to vent his anger, so he grabbed the silver ingot with great interest and smashed it without hesitation. For a while, there were people in the Furong Hall who were screaming and dodging, and some people were scolding angrily, but there were still one or two ruthless people who were really short of money and couldn't help but want to go to the silver ingot.
Licentious! Licentious! The face of the Lin family's lord was pale, and he trembled, and Lin Changfeng did this in front of him, so it was clear that he didn't look at his father in his eyes. What embarrassed him even more was those children who were not angry, looking at his son's mocking eyes, the head of the Lin family only felt that his face was hotly hurt by someone being beaten.
Lin Changfeng! The head of the Lin family got up abruptly and said sharply: Do you think you will be able to make a few bucks? My Lin family is not short of these money! The old man wants to see how big you are, and how long you can last this day! Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and a trace of murderous aura overflowed in his narrow phoenix eyes, did my father mean that he wanted to use the power of the Lin family to suppress me?
So what? The head of the Lin family sneered, looked at Lin Changfeng contemptuously and said: I, as a father, will teach you how to behave in the world today, as the saying goes, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials, you don't know such a simple thing? As long as my Lin family speaks, who do you think will dare to protect you in Jinling City? Is the prince of Jingjiang County? Hmph, let's wait until he becomes the king of Jingjiang County!
Hey, the head of the Lin family has such a big breath. A smiling voice came from the door, listening to the words of the Lin family master, I have to think that the Lin family has the final say in this Jinling Imperial City.
Hearing this, the head of the Lin family's face changed slightly and said in a deep voice: What person? Why don't you come out and speak, hide and hide?
Where, wasn't this taken aback by the majesty of the Lin family master? Nangong Mo walked in from the door, glanced at the people present with a smile and walked towards Lin Changfeng: Someone is making trouble, why doesn't Changfeng let people talk to me? You can't cover it up just because it's your family. The friendship between me and me is friendship, but business is business.
Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled: Why is Miss Mo here?
Nangong Mo pointed outside and said: It's not just me, I and Qingxing are here.
Lin Changfeng was stunned, isn't it just Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo? Who else can't just say that they want to be so implied? Thinking about Nangong Mo's recent days and where Wei Junmo is working now, Lin Changfeng's face changed slightly, and asked: Do you need me to go over and say hello?
Nangong Mo shook his head and smiled: I'll talk about this later, let's talk about this person first. Nangong Mo glanced down at the silver ingots that had rolled to the ground and said in surprise: Changfeng, you can't spend enough money recently? Lin Changfeng smiled lazily and said: How is it? My new thing, do you want to play with it?
Nangong Mo shook his head and said: It's too wasteful, why don't you change it to meat buns? It's not easy to hurt people, don't say, what are you doing with 100 yuan? If you can't kill a person by changing it to a meat bun, you can bury him.
That's not going to work! Lin Changfeng categorically refused, the silver ingot can be taken back after it is smashed, and if the meat bun is smashed out, there is a saying
Xiao Er said in a low voice: The meat bun beats the dog - there is no return.
Right! Gone forever! Changfeng Gongzi snapped his fingers, looked at Nangong Mo and shook his head again and again, Miss Mo, it is not easy to save money.
Miss Nangong had nothing to say.
Who the hell are you?! The head of the Lin family's face was like ink, and he said angrily. Mrs. Lin hurriedly grabbed him and said: This is the princess of Jingjiang County. The head of the Lin family had never seen Nangong Mo's true face, but Mrs. Lin had seen it twice from afar at the banquet.
Nangong Mo smiled faintly and said: Don't dare to be, our prince hasn't become the king of the county yet, but he doesn't dare to be Mrs. Lin's gift. Look at our prince, aren't you embarrassed to come in? Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed for a while, obviously Nangong Mo heard the words of the head of the Lin family just now at the door and remembered it in her heart.
The head of the Lin family also knew that he had lost his words, but in such a situation, he would never be able to pull his face to apologize to Nangong Mo. I had to pretend that I didn't hear it, and said in a deep voice: The old man is talking to the dog, this is not about the princess, right? Nangong Mo said lightly: The Lin family's main lesson to his son is naturally none of our business. But everyone comes to Tianyi Pavilion twice in three days to make trouble, and it is very important for the concubine to eat without money. Does the Lin family have any opinion on the concubine and the prince? Otherwise, how could he come to Tianyi Pavilion to make trouble?
Tianyi Pavilion is the property of the princess? The Lin family master asked suspiciously.
Concubine Ben and Changfeng Gongzi cooperated, what is the opinion of the head of the Lin family? Nangong Mo asked. She really didn't lie, she had reached an agreement with Lin Changfeng before, and as long as her property was handed over to Lin Changfeng to manage, she would have his share. The head of the Lin family snorted lightly and said: In this case, the old man is here to tell the princess, Lin Changfeng will no longer cooperate with the princess in the future, and the princess will ask for another master.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Changfeng. Lin Changfeng said lightly: This son is true to his word.
The head of the Lin family sneered, what? Can't I, the father, be your master?
Nangong Mo Yanran smiled and said: Since the head of the Lin family wants to be the master of Changfeng Gongzi, how about we calculate the liquidated damages?
Penalty? The head of the Lin family frowned, and Nangong Mo said: This concubine took out a large amount of money to cooperate with Changfeng Gongzi, wouldn't it prevent any accidents? If Changfeng Gongzi maliciously withdraws for improper reasons, he must compensate the concubine for ten times the loss of all her properties. This money, Lin family master, you out?
Ridiculous! The head of the Lin family is furious, how can there be such a saying in the world?
Nangong Mo said with a smile: As long as the concubine and the prince of Changfeng who signed the agreement are willing, there will naturally be. Since the head of the Lin family loves his son so much, why don't we settle this account well? The concubine is not verbose, and the minimum estimate of the property that the concubine handed over to the prince of Changfeng is also worth about 400,000 taels. Troublesome Lin family master prepared four million taels to ransom people.
You!
Lin Changfeng smiled and said: Father, what Miss Mo said is right. To tell you the truth, I sold myself to Wei Shizi and the princess. That's why there is so much capital to cooperate with the princess to do business. Father, son is waiting for you to save me from the fire.
You, you
Four million taels! Even if the Lin family smashes the pot and sells iron, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it up. Not to mention the Lin family, it is Nangong Mo plus Wei Junmo's Zixiao Hall and even Princess Changping's industry, I am afraid that I will not be able to make up so much money for a while. In this world, there is only one person who can take out so much money casually - the emperor. If the Lin family was really willing to take so much money to ransom Lin Changfeng, Nangong Mo felt that he would definitely sell him without hesitation.
The old man was angry, and Mrs. Lin hurriedly rubbed the chest of the Lin family master to ease him, for fear that he would be angry for a while and really agreed. In fact, she was too worried, not to mention a Lin Changfeng, even if he added a Lin Chang'an, he didn't have so much silver to redeem. What's more, the head of the Lin family may not really believe the words of Nangong Mo and Lin Changfeng. But when it comes to this, if the head of the Lin family doesn't agree, he doesn't love his son, and Changfeng Gongzi lamented, it turns out that in the eyes of his father, my son is not very valuable. In this case, my father doesn't have to care about me, I just work hard to make money and redeem myself for Wei Shizi and Miss Mo.
After speaking, Changfeng Gongzi waved his hand and staggered away, looking deeply shocked.
Suddenly, the voice of Changfeng Gongzi came from outside the door, remember to take back the silver ingot. Also, the Lin family's meal money in the pavilion was lightened.
