Chapter Forty-Eight: Then We'll Go Evening
"Big brother, big nephew."
Zhu Gaosui came to Wang Xiao and them with a smiling face, and looked around at the various objects that were stacked messily around him.
"How much did this sell for? Enough for 10,000 taels? ”
"Donggong is bitter, and it doesn't cost 10,000 taels if it is sold out." Wang Xiao picked up an apple and handed it to him, and motioned to Zhu Gaochi, who was smiling on the side, "The two of us are preparing to go on the scales together to see how much it can be worth." ”
"Big nephew, you're telling jokes again."
Zhu Gaosui walked around Wang Xiao a few times with his hands behind his back. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
"Eldest nephew, I heard that your white sugar sells very well. What is a mere 10,000 taels of silver? Why bother to let your father be wronged here. ”
Wang Xiao casually threw away the apple core, stood up and clapped his hands.
"Third uncle, the money from selling sugar is for the emperor to prepare for the expedition, and I don't dare to move. As for my father being wronged here, third uncle, you are his own brother, in front of so many people in Yingtianfu, you are a brother who just looks at it and doesn't say anything about pulling hands? ”
Unlike later generations who were indifferent, the Ming Dynasty was a proper classical era.
In these years, parents can't separate the family. Pay attention to the father and son soldiers, and fight the tiger brothers. Between relatives and siblings, it is a real one glory and one loss. Otherwise, there would be no three clans, nine clans or something.
It is indeed a shame for the prince to set up a stall on the street, but he Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui came to see his eldest brother in public to lose face, will he have face?
It's impossible. People who see this scene will say behind their backs that King Zhao is ruthless and unjust. In this era, if he is pressed with such a reputation, then he Zhao Wang Ye will not have a chance to go further in his life.
Zhu Gaosui's smile finally couldn't hold back. He stepped forward and came to Wang Xiao's side, his eyes cold.
"You little bunny, do you want to yin me? I haven't settled accounts with you yet! ”
Wang Xiao raised his hand and patted Zhu Gaosui's shoulder, "Third uncle, you are a smart person." There is no future for following the second uncle. Now go to the prince's side, and you can mix in a good place in the future. Those who know the times are Junjie. ”
"Just because you want to get involved in this?"
Zhu Gaosui's gaze at Wang Xiao was undisguised contempt.
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and motioned to the prince on the side, "The door here will always be open for you, think about it carefully." As for the Shangpin antique shop, it was to say hello to the third uncle. But don't think that you are the only ones in this world who can toss others. I've overdone it, and I'll pay it back! ”
Looking at Wang Xiao with a smile in front of him, Zhu Gaosui suddenly felt a palpitation.
This little bastard is different from his old man, and his guts are fatter than the sky. When there is something, he can really do it without hesitation.
"Good, good."
Zhu Gaosui smiled angrily, stretched out his hand and nodded at Wang Xiao, and turned to leave.
"You've offended him now."
Zhu Gaochi on the side patted his big belly, trying to persuade Wang Xiao not to be so sharp.
"I've got to get them to come at me. Otherwise, I don't know when there will be a second Houtai. These two uncles are both wolves, and if we don't make them feel scared, we will be annoyed by them sooner or later. ”
Wang Xiao clapped his hands and walked out leisurely.
"I'm going to do something big, prince, you can sell furniture slowly."
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and stepped forward, wanting to pull Wang Xiao: "Just now you said that you made a lot of money selling white sugar?" ”
Wang Xiao paused, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the street and shouted, "The crown princess is here!" ”
Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look over, except for the bustling people, there was no trace of the crown princess at all.
When he turned around again, Wang Xiao had already run away.
The silver earned by selling white sugar Wang Xiao is very useful, but it can't be scavenged by the prince.
Wang Xiao took Xu Bin to Jiming Temple, and the royal interrogation set the place of their uncle and nephew meeting.
The location is Lingshan Temple in Wuxi, which has a nine-story tower in the temple. One of the two is on the ninth floor, and the other is on the first floor chatting through the message. The specific time is scheduled for half a month later.
When Xu Bin left, Wang Xiao smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"Grandpa, if you really want to get rid of Emperor Jianwen through this, please tell me as soon as possible. I'd better take care of everything first. ”
Zhu Di waved the fan in his hand and slapped it on Wang Xiao's head.
"What do you do at a young age? I'm going to sacrifice you for a dead man? You look down on me. ”
Wang Xiao hurriedly saluted, "Don't dare, don't dare." In this case, how should the orphans of the Nuer Gandu Division be arranged? ”
Zhu Di looked up at the dim sky and sighed heavily.
"I can stop their hard labor, send them doctors, and distribute supplies. The older ones can come back to see a doctor, and the younger ones can come back to participate in the imperial examinations. But let them all go, I can't do it once. ”
Wang Xiao bowed his hand and saluted, "The emperor will not be wrong, so the battle of Jingjing cannot be wrong." ”
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction: "I can't do it in this dynasty, I can't let the history books record that I am an emperor who looks forward and looks backwards." This good deed should be left to the crown prince to do. ”
"There is no saint more than Your Majesty."
Wang Xiao, who returned to the East Palace, heard that the princess Yingning sent by North Korea, who was favored by the emperor recently, was missing, and Wang Xiao, who knew the details of the matter, didn't care. This matter has nothing to do with him, and he will not take the initiative to get involved.
He didn't think much about Hu Shanxiang, and he took care of her purely to be able to calm Sun Ruowei's heart.
As long as she doesn't get involved with King Han and doesn't make trouble when choosing a concubine.
Regarding the meeting between Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen, Wang Xiao never really believed Zhu Di. Because he is the emperor.
The most suspicious person in the world is the emperor, and for Zhu Di, his only threat is Emperor Jianwen. Wang Xiao didn't know what Zhu Di thought.
Although Zhu Di chose to reconcile in the original book, no one knows what will happen to this world. Wang Xiao didn't want to gamble with his own life.
It's a risky gamble.
Wang Xiao is betting that he can win, because only by winning can he reap the benefits he wants.
"I'm doing all this for you."
Although this is not the case, Wang Xiao has his own demands. But in front of Sun Ruowei, of course, it is impossible to tell the truth. Wouldn't that be a fool to paint like that?
Sun Ruowei looked at him silently, "If you die, I'll go with you." ”
Wang Xiao raised his hand and stroked the hair in Sun Ruowei's ear, "That's not possible, even if I die, you have to live well." I will bless you in heaven. ”
"Say no more!"
Sun Ruowei's eyes were red, and his voice was choked, "If this thing is done, and those orphans of the slave Gandu Division can be rescued, then I will marry you." ”
In the corridor of Jiming Temple, the two sat opposite each other.
We all know that the risk is very high, but since there is a demand, it is natural to take the risk.
"Trust your choice."
Wang Xiao got up and stroked Sun Ruowei's hair, "Everything will be fine." You will also live a happy life. ”
Half a month passed quickly, and Zhu Di, who was supposed to be in Jiming Temple, quietly came to Wuxi, preparing to meet with Emperor Jianwen.
On a hill with lush vegetation outside Lingshan Temple, Wang Xiao, sitting on a large bluestone, leisurely looked at the beautiful scenery of the sunset in the distance.
"Isn't Taisun worried?"
Hundreds of steps away is the nine-story tower of Linshan Temple, which has been heavily surrounded by Jinyi guards at this time.
Xu Bin looked at Wang Xiao's completely indifferent look, and couldn't help but be curious, "I don't want to know who these brothers are?" ”
Around Wang Xiao were several strong men in strong suits and holding sharp blades. One by one, their eyes were solemn, looking at Wang Xiao as if they were looking at a dead person.
"I don't want to know, anyway, I'll be a passerby from now on after today. Don't come to me, and I won't come to you. ”
Xu Bin came to Wang Xiao and sat down, took the wine and poured a glass of wine.
"Isn't Taisun afraid?"
"I have what I want." Wang Xiao looked at him sideways, "In order to get what you want, it is inevitable to take risks." Is there anything in this world that is not earned? No, I don't. ”
The wind on the mountain is quite strong, and the surrounding grass and trees are swaying with the night breeze, and the black paint brings a strong sense of oppression.
Picking up the wine glass and looking at it in his hand for a moment, Wang Xiao put the wine glass down again.
"What's the matter, Taisun is afraid of poisoning in the wine?"
Wang Xiao fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist, his expression was indifferent, "I have nothing to be afraid of, you are the one who is really afraid." ”
"Why did the grandson say this?"
"If you want to achieve great things, you can't spare your life. I don't care, but you care too much about Emperor Jianwen. So, you can't do great things. ”
Xu Bin smiled and waved his hand, "Taisun misunderstood, we don't want to make a big deal, we just want those who suffered to come back alive." ”
Wang Xiao stopped talking, and sat quietly on the stone looking at the night scene in the distance.
There are no artificial lights on the ground, no polluted air. The night sky is pure, as if the stars are within reach.
"Taisun, will you be a good emperor in the future?"
Compared with Wang Xiao's leisure, Xu Bin and the others were very nervous.
Because for many years, their impression of Zhu Di is that they are fierce and evil, and they will not compromise the means to achieve their goals. Now Emperor Jianwen ran to meet Zhu Di in person, so he threw himself into the net and handed his cleaned neck to Zhu Di's knife, and smiled at Zhu Di to compare the position of the knife.
Emperor Jianwen was the spiritual pillar of these orphans. After losing their parents and loved ones, they have long since left a tree to rely on. After years of hiding in Tibet and vowing revenge, the only one who supported their beliefs was Emperor Jianwen.
Time passes, and the stars change.
Unconsciously, the night gradually dissipated, and the eastern sky was already lit up with fish belly white.
"The man is out!"
Xu Bin, who was holding a telescope, saw Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen leave in batches, and a heart that had been hanging all night was finally able to let go.
Wang Xiao, who was lying down and watching the night sky, got up and patted the grass clippings on his clothes, and looked up at the starlight in the sky, "You say, will there be a day in the future when people can go up to the stars." ”
"Hehehe~~~"
Xu Bin shook his head with a smile, "There are ancient books, and the stars in the sky are as hot as fire like the sun turned into a golden crow." If someone really went up, wouldn't they be burned to death? ”
Wang Xiao wrapped his arms around and nodded slowly, agreeing with Xu Bin's words. He then went on to offer his own opinions.
"Then we'll go in the evening."
