Chapter Fifty-Six: Murderous Intent Rises
In the study of Xia Zesheng of the Sixth Highness, the teacups, tea bowls and all kinds of jade were shattered to the ground, King Sheng was furious this time, but he couldn't find a place to vent, so these porcelain and jade were unlucky! The fourteenth princess stood aside and didn't dare to persuade him, in her impression, her brother seemed to be so angry for the first time!
"Bastard! Xia Zerong, a slut, actually recommended Xia Zhen'er to Xiyuan City. The father also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't say a word. It's so damning! The more Xia Zesheng thought about it, the more angry he became, although he had already been mentally prepared, but he couldn't stand Xia Zerong's arrogant attitude in the court. actually didn't give himself any face at all, and directly denied his proposal. And the old emperor sat on the dragon chair, and he actually closed his eyes from beginning to end, but in the end, the eunuch directly read out the holy decree, which was prepared a long time ago! What does this mean? It shows that my father is not as fond of himself as before! On the contrary, he trusts Xia Zerong even more!
"Brother! Now what? That Xia Zhen'er is getting more and more proud! It's shit luck! There is also Xia Zixiu, the eunuch, who is not afraid of death, and he wants his son to inherit his father's business! I really underestimated him! The fourteenth princess was also very angry in her heart, she was annoyed that the soap on the market was not grabbed a few days ago, and a soap of three taels of gold was actually snatched up! By the time she arrived, it was already sold out! The fourteenth princess deliberately ran to the seventh princess, but she didn't expect the seventh princess to see her at all. And the housekeeper also said very politely that this kind of soap is no longer available here! I actually gave her a piece of soap for laundry! Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass her!
In fact, this is also the popularity of the fourteenth princess is too bad, after the wives and ladies of the rich royal family got the news, they all told each other and made an appointment to buy, but no one came to tell the fourteenth princess here, so this led to the fourteenth princess not even being able to grab a piece of soap!
In the end, the fourteenth princess relied on her own power to buy two pieces from a young lady from a big family! The young lady was crying afterwards because she had bought three dollars! I'm very lucky to be able to buy three pieces! At that time, the scene of queuing was simply unheard of, no matter who you are, you have to queue up honestly! King Rong sat on it and drank tea! Smiling, but for those who want to cut the line, then just throw it out!
In view of this kind of scene, the thirteen hundred pieces of soap of the nineteenth princess were also sold/sold by the seventh princess, she felt that she was not able to control this kind of scene at all, and she did not have the domineering and deterrent power of the seventh princess, so Xia Zhener was very rational and handed over the three hundred pieces of soap to the seventh princess to replace/sell. However, the seventh princess is also very bold, and the sales of 300 pieces of soap were sent to the nineteenth princess's mansion!
However, the news of the joint sale of the seventh princess and the nineteenth princess still spread, and this soap was still developed in the nineteenth princess's mansion, which made the fourteenth princess even more jealous!
So now when the Sixth Highness is angry, the Fourteenth Princess still doesn't forget to add fuel to the fire! But then she got a response right away!
"Smack!"
Another slap in the face, the fourteenth princess Xia Yuejiao was really shocked and angry! This is the third time in two months!
"Brother! You...... Why are you hitting me again? Although Xia Yuejiao was annoyed, she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Sixth Highness! can only ask in a low voice, her arrogance is all because of this brother as a backing!
"It's all you idiot! All day long, you know that you are flying and domineering, and you can make enemies everywhere! Just for two pieces of soap, I offended the Liu family again, and now the head of the Liu family has openly stood on Xia Anrong's side! Xia Anrong also made a special trip to send ten pieces of soap to the eldest lady of the Liu family! Look, two pieces of soap have lost the support of a big family! What about Cheyenne Rong? Ten pieces of soap are enveloped in a big family! You idiot, even if Xiyuan City is handed over to you, you won't live for three months! His Royal Highness said angrily, he wanted to endure it, but now he really can't help it! Sooner or later, this stupid sister is going to cause a big deal for herself!
"It's not like I didn't give money! Who knew that she was so careful, and she had to go to her old man to sue for this little thing! The fourteenth princess covered her face and muttered unconvinced.
"A trifle? Then you go to someone to force it to buy? They should be transferred to you? His Royal Highness pursed his lips and looked at his stupid sister helplessly!
"Is it because the Liu family saw that you couldn't do it, so they fell to Xia Anrong? I just wanted to see how good this soap really is? Brother, do you know that this kind of soap is actually made by the nineteenth sister and the seventh sister, it is said that the nineteenth sister is responsible for manufacturing, the seventh sister is responsible for sales, and the seventh sister accounts for seventy percent of the share! In just one day the day before yesterday, the seventh sister earned at least 1,000 taels of gold! The fourteenth princess said with a green light in her eyes.
She also wants to make money so happily! She doesn't have much business herself, she relies on the Sixth Highness, and usually when she has no money, she goes to the Sixth Highness to ask for money, and the Sixth Highness still spoils her, and she doesn't need to report it, just ask the housekeeper to get the money! But recently, the Sixth Highness is no longer allowed to withdraw at will, and there must be a letter from the Sixth Highness! to get the money! Because the fourteenth princess's expenses are too omnivorous, it is just a matter of not making money, but she is still jealous of squandering, and she will spend three or four thousand taels of silver a month, anyway, the money is easy to come by, and she is not heartbroken!
The Sixth Highness couldn't figure out how she spent so much money, and later secretly investigated, almost the Sixth Highness, it turned out that the fourteenth princess raised a lot of little white faces, she shot boldly, whatever satisfied her, she waved her hand to send a set of houses, and a matching maid servant, so that she could go to have fun at any time! So she bought more than 100 houses in the Imperial City, and in the end, she couldn't remember how many houses she bought! Anyway, it must have maintained an impressive record in the Great Xia Kingdom!
Hearing this, His Royal Highness the Sixth became even more angry: "That's not you?" If you didn't push the nineteenth sister into the lotus pond last time, but tried your best to befriend her, wouldn't it be you who is cooperating with her now? ”
"It's you yourself who said to test what background and strength she has, and if you don't have any strength, try your best to suppress it, and let her defect to us by herself! Now you blame me again? The fourteenth princess has a good memory, and immediately retorted.
"Huh? I said a proper crackdown! But I didn't let you take such drastic measures! "His Royal Highness the Sixth was a little embarrassed, it was indeed he who said this! So his face softened a little and asked, "Is that kind of soap really so sought-after?" Is there really that high profit? I'm afraid it's worthless once the limelight passes, right? Three taels of gold is not a small amount! ”
"Oops! You don't know, that soap is simply a divine thing, and the feeling after using it is incomparable to before! And this kind of thing is a consumable, I have only used it for a few days, and I have already used up half of it! Didn't I send a piece to Princess Yan? Didn't she tell you? I forcibly bought two pieces back, and I still think about your wife, and you still beat me! The fourteenth princess said a little aggrieved, Princess Yan is the main lady of the Sixth Highness, and the fourteenth princess can be regarded as knowing a little bit of human sophistication, so she forcibly bought two pieces of soap and gave one to Princess Yan!
"Hmmm! I was busy with official business for the past two days, so I didn't go to the princess! His Royal Highness nodded slightly, thinking that although his sister was a little stupid, she could still think about herself in everything, and she regretted it a little, she shouldn't have beaten her just now!
But when His Highness thinks about it next, it's terrifying! If this seventh sister makes such a lot of money, then her warships and armies may be renovated and increased again! In its current form, it seems likely that the fight is about to begin! Even if you can't earn this money, you can't let Xia Anrong earn it easily!
"No! This money can't be earned so easily by the seventh sister! Otherwise, her power will increase again! His Royal Highness thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying fiercely.
"Brother! Otherwise, just like last time, we killed Xia Zhen'er on the road, in that case, the seventh sister would have no supply, but it would be a pity, and this kind of soap would be extinct! The fourteenth princess immediately said excitedly, the last time she sent someone to attack Xia Zhen'er's convoy, although they all guessed that she did it, but in the end it was over! And Xia Zhen'er's strength is not very strong! The fourteen princesses didn't use the power of the six highnesses, and they could easily do it with just their own people!
"Hmmm! I'll arrange this matter, you don't care! Don't leak the slightest! You go back first! His Royal Highness Nodding, and then let the Fourteenth Princess go first! He planned to go to Princess Yan to learn more about this soap! If it was really that good, he didn't think he had to kill Xia Zhen'er! I can secretly arrest her back and force her to find out how to process soap! Wouldn't that give you an extra way to make money? Anyway, now it's a complete face-to-face with the Seventh Princess! I'm not afraid to offend her!
……
The nineteenth princess returned to the mansion, feeling a little depressed, the development of things was different from what she expected, and now suddenly a city lord came out, but she became a deputy city lord! This made her very disappointed!
"Princess! The old man thinks that there are pros and cons to this matter, although it is Xia Zixiu who inherited the position of the city lord, but we also have a foothold! And with Xia Zixiu's 20,000 horses, we can quickly settle down in Xiyuan City! Manager Wu listened to the story of the nineteenth princess after she came back, and thought for a long time before saying slowly.
"But! Uncle Wu, then it's inconvenient for us to do something in Xiyuan City! And I don't know if Xia Zixiu will crowd out and suppress us! After all, his strength in Xiyuan City is not weak! And the son inherits his father's business and inherits all the resources! Aren't we passive? Xia Zhen'er said very worriedly.
"Huh! It doesn't matter, no matter what, it's better than the current situation! What's more, Xiyuan City is so big, and there are Zhao Meng's people guarding it, it is not so easy for him to target us! What's more, now we can be regarded as an alliance of the Seven Princesses! If he had been smart, he should have tried to be as good as he could befriend us! Chief Wu smiled, although he didn't have Duanmu Qi's talent through heaven and earth, he could also see the stakes!
As he was talking, the female guard outside the door ran in and said, "Princess Qiyu, the new Xiyuan City Lord Xia Zixiu is here to pay a visit!" ”
"Oh?"
