Chapter 900: Showing Favor and Asking for Money
Xiao Kun sat down and muttered in his heart, what do these two princes want to do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIf the second prince had put up a shelf at the beginning, maybe Xiao Kun would not have such doubts. It's so kind now, it's not like I imagined.
"Your Royal Highnessγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Xiao Kun said politely and respectfully, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the second prince.
"Since they are brothers, there is no need to call me Your Highness." The second prince said, "I'm older than you, so you can call me second brother." β
They are all members of the royal family, with the same generation, and it is reasonable to call the second brother.
Xiao Kun saw that the second prince put down the shelf, and naturally approached, and said, "Thank you, second brother, it's just that you are very busy on weekdays, so why did you call Kun over today?" β
The eight-character beard on the second prince's mouth moved, this person was very good, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you are the most capable of the children of the clan, and you are a model for others to govern the fief so well!" I see it all in my eyes, no wonder my grandfather, it is not unreasonable to choose you as my grandson-in-law. β
"The second brother has won the prize." Xiao Kun said, "My fiefdom is mountainous, so I asked migrant workers to build roads and plant fruit trees on the mountain, and I have made some achievements in the past few years." The apples I produce there are delicious and sweet, and if my second brother likes it, I will ask people to send more every year. β
The second prince nodded and said, "Brother Kun has a heart." β
"It's good if the second brother likes it." Xiao Kun echoed, "Second brother, talented, has always been a role model in Kun's heart, Kun will continue to work hard in the future, if the second brother has a useful place, just say." β
The second prince is very happy, this Xiao Kun is very good.
Since this is the case, there is no need for the second prince to keep going around politely, and said with a smile: "Brother Kun is really clever, since you have said so, then I am not welcome." Recently, I had something to do and needed some money. This silver can't go through the accounts of the prince's mansion, and it's not good for me to take money from those people who don't know the source, so I want to borrow some from Brother Kun. β
Nine times out of ten, the money will not be returned, but the second prince is the pride of the sky, and it is difficult to ask people for money, so he said that he borrowed it.
Hearing that the second prince borrowed money, Xiao Kun was not only not angry and embarrassed, but was very happy, this is the second prince trusting him. Money, she Xiao Kun has it.
"Second brother, how much do you want?" Xiao Kun said, "I have some assets in the fiefdom, and the second brother doesn't dislike it, just say it." There is no more, and there is more. β
The second prince is even happier, this Xiao Kun is very good!
"Actually, it's not much, just prepare 600,000 taels of silver for me." The second prince said, 500,000 taels to his grandfather, and 100,000 taels to keep for himself.
Xiao Kun was stunned for a moment, these two princes were 600,000 taels in one mouth, but it was the sum of the taxes and other revenues of his fiefdom for a year.
However, it is understandable to think that what the second prince is doing is a matter of competing for the crown, and it costs money everywhere.
"Second brother, these 600,000 taels, I should go down my younger brother. It's just that I only have 300,000 taels of silver on me now, and the other 300,000 taels of silver, and I have to transport them from the fiefdom, and it will take some time. Xiao Kun said, just asking for silver, it's not difficult.
Although the amount is very large, Xiao Kun can take it out.
Although he couldn't get 600,000 taels of silver immediately, the second prince was also very happy, this Xiao Kun was so happy, it could be seen that he really wanted to take refuge in him.
"Well, thank you very much, it's done, and you have the benefit." The second prince said, "The wine and food in this store are good, let's talk while eating." I grew up so big, I went to Mount Tai, and I have been hanging around in the capital, you tell me about the things in the fiefdom. β
"The second brother values me so much, the younger brother naturally has the money to contribute and the strength to contribute." Xiao Kun said, caught the second prince, and only then did he have a chance to turn the tables and defeat Du Jiumei and Du Dashan.
"Hehe, that's good." The second prince said, patting Xiao Kun on the shoulder and saying, "I didn't misread you." β
The second prince and Xiao Kun hit it off at first sight and had a very happy conversation. Unconsciously, they chatted for two hours, and under the reminder of the chamberlain, the second prince remembered that there were other things and had to leave first.
"If you have something to do in the future, just go directly to the shopkeeper here." Before leaving, the second prince explained that after some discussion, he had regarded Xiao Kun as his own.
Xiao Kun said respectfully: "Thank you second brother, if you have something in the future, please don't be polite to the second brother." β
"Good brother, I remember your kindness." The second prince greeted him for a while before leaving.
Xiao Kun was happy in his heart, now the second prince has taken him as a confidant, and said that if the second prince ascends to the throne, let Xiao Kun manage the Zongren Mansion in the future.
Zongren Mansion, which is a department dedicated to managing the affairs of the royal family, is extremely noble and has done an excellent job, and will become the patriarch of the Xiao clan in the future. Although the power is not as great as that of the emperor, it is also highly respected.
Xiao Kun first asked people to secretly send 300,000 taels of silver to the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn, and he transferred it to the second prince. The rest, Xiao Kun will send it over half a month later.
The people sent by Du Jiumei to pay attention to Xiao Kun also found out about Xiao Kun and the second prince drinking and eating together, but they didn't know what they said.
Listening to Zichuan's report, Du Jiumei thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't hear it clearly, as long as you keep an eye on Xiao Kun and see what he has been doing recently, you can deduce what they said." Continue to monitor Xiao Kun closely, there are many strange people around that person, you should be careful. β
"Yes, princess." Zi Chuan responded, and after reporting the recent events, he went out with Ziqing, and the two had to discuss some details and exchange information for the later investigation.
Not long after Ziqing went out, Ruan Haojun came back.
Du Jiumei was surprised, except for the fifth brother's child washing three that day, Ruan Haojun went home, and then left in a hurry. Now is the busiest time for Ruan Haojun, how can he come back at this hour?
"Husband, what's the situation outside?" Du Jiumei asked, although her face was not obvious, but she had been worried about Ruan Haojun at home.
Ruan Haojun poured himself a cup of tea and said softly: "The matter has already come to an eyebrow, and it is not in a hurry for the time being, so I will come back to see you." How's it going, our kids? β
"The kid is fine." Du Jiumei said, "It's the child's mother, it's not very good, I miss my husband all day long, but my husband only thinks about the child in his belly." β
"Hahaha!" Ruan Haojun smiled heartily, "I just like your sour appearance." β
Hum! Du Jiumei turned her head!
"Good lady, my husband misses the child, and I miss the child's mother even more." Ruan Haojun said, "It's rare for me to come back, I'm hungry, hurry up and ask your good cooking maid to cook something delicious for me." β
Du Jiumei was originally joking, but she was not really angry, so she hurriedly told Zirong to let her hurry up and get some food.
After eating and drinking, Du Jiumei and Ruan Haojun walked around the yard together. (To be continued.) )
