Chapter Seventy-Five: The Six Harmony Pagoda (Part II)
King Ming looked at the three words on the brocade silk, couldn't help but be stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Nineteenth sister, what does this mean?" ”
"Second brother! Didn't you leave an uplink in Xiyuan City? I want to ask Mr. Liu, I don't know if this brocade can solve the puzzle? The nineteenth princess said with a smile, of course she can't let King Ming deal with it, otherwise it won't be tantamount to making things difficult for King Ming, in case King Ming can't answer, it's not that King Ming is very faceless. So the nineteenth princess turned to Liu Shiyan very skillfully.
"Hmm!" King Ming nodded, and handed the brocade silk to Liu Shiyan casually, but Liu Shiyan was nervous, if he couldn't see the doorway, wouldn't it ruin his future
Liu Shiyan looked at the words on Jin Bo, just three words? Liuhe Tower. Liu Shiyan's brain started to move quickly, and intuitively this is the answer.
Liu Shiyan walked slowly a few steps with his hands behind his back, looked out the window at the towering and extraordinary Liuhe Pagoda, and suddenly felt shocked. Walked quickly to King Ming, and said in his ear: "King Ming, the Shanglian you left, they are coming!" ”
"Oh?" King Ming looked at Liu Shiyan, as if he was judging if this kid was playing tricks, couldn't answer, and was fooling himself?
"......" Liu Shiyan hurriedly whispered a few words in King Ming's ear, and then quietly stepped aside, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, just now he had experienced a very test, if he hadn't been clever, he would have been killed by the three words of the nineteenth princess!
"Hahahaha! Yes, I can't imagine that the virtuous nephew is also good! Okay, so I'll be exempted from three months of forage tasks. Come on, set up a feast! King Ming couldn't help laughing.
Although his upper link was broken, King Ming was in a good mood, and his subordinates did not eat dry rice. And now the nineteenth sister's gifts are about to cause chaos in his harem, so he simply waved his hand and loudly ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain, which was also to remind the princess and other concubines that it was time to stop for a while.
In fact, for King Ming, the lack of forage for these three months is nothing, and his fiefdom is not short of forage. It's just that Xia Zi has been delayed for three months! Now that Zhao Meng, the general of the Seventh Princess, is guarding Xiyuan City, does he really let his soldiers ride horses to Xiyuan City to release their horses? Isn't that a face-tore with the Seventh Princess?
As for the answer to the couplet, no one said it, this is the point that the literati pay attention to, tacitly, and they all think that the other party already knows it. If anyone is stupid to ask now, they will be inferior!
But who would have thought that at this time, Xia Zixiu was confused, and he was very annoyed, and he didn't expect that the three words sent by Wu Yue were really the next link.
But even now, Xia Zixiu didn't come up with the most suitable downlink, but just had a direction. He is quick to think when he is entertaining in his leisure time, but he is slow to react when he is nervous at critical moments, so his father has already made up his mind for him: it is useless!
Before Xia Zhongkun died, he asked Xia Zixiu not to take over Xiyuan City, and to return to his original place of residence to keep the family business. It's just that Xia Zixiu has always been unconvinced, and he has to take over Xiyuan City to prove himself.
"Thank you, second brother!" The nineteenth princess was very surprised in her heart, and sure enough, it was as Zhu Xiaobao saw, as soon as these three words were taken out, they broke King Ming's upper link. It's just that seeing that Xia Zixiu was still a little depressed, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and quietly pulled him along. At this time, even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be high-spirited!
Fortunately, King Ming didn't notice these details at this time, because the princess Niangniang stepped forward very enthusiastically and grabbed the hand of the nineteenth princess: "Good sister, sit down, your second brother has already said it, my sister is smart and capable, and she is a national beauty, see me today, it's really so, come, do it by my side!" ”
In fact, Mrs. Ming Wang is close to the nineteenth princess, she wants to ask for more soap, seeing that these twenty pieces of soap are about to cause chaos in the harem again, can she not be in a hurry, not to mention that she wants to leave a few more!
Of course, the nineteenth princess knew the princess's thoughts, but she coped with it easily, not only chatting with the princess hotly, but also not forgetting to constantly compliment King Ming: "Second brother is really a blessing, the princess and lady are so beautiful and elegant, extraordinary!" The sisters are also beautiful! ”
"Hahahaha! It's easy to say, this king has always been a good ruler! "King Ming is in a good mood, and people still like to listen to these compliments! King Ming is no exception.
"Alas! Good sister, look at what you said, my sister is old! That's your age! The princess was also very happy to hear it, but she still felt a little emotional, after all, she was also in her thirties, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden.
"You're not old at all, it's okay, with this soap of mine, you can also beautify and whiten and moisturize your skin!" Princess Nineteen said with a smile.
"Yes, yes! But this kind of soap is too little, it's not enough at all, sister, can you send more? Rest assured, money is not an issue! Your second brother has always been very bold! Madame Princess immediately followed the words of the nineteenth princess.
"Hmmm! What kind of money do you have to raise from your own family! Thanks to my sister's love, then I will send my sister 50 pieces of soap here every month, what do you think? The nineteenth sister waved her hand lightly and said very well-behaved.
"Yikes! It's true? That's great! The princess suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and even the concubines next to her couldn't help but smile, and they were not calm at first, all counting how many pieces they could get.
"Nineteenth sister, I think you will give your share of the three hundred pieces of soap to Brother Wei!" King Ming said a little greedily, the seventh princess accounted for seventy percent, and he wanted to take the remaining thirty percent.
"It's not impossible! Second brother, if I don't give you the rest of the share, you give me 100,000 catties of iron and stone every month, what do you think? The nineteenth princess said without thinking about it, iron stone is actually iron ore, although the quality of iron ore here is very average, but it is better because of the huge output, which is one of his main sources of wealth.
"Huh! What's this...... Hahahaha, it's a family banquet now, don't talk about business, don't talk about business! King Ming's heart moved, when it came to iron ore, he couldn't be cautious, because it could build weapons. Although the nineteenth princess can also spend money to buy iron and stone, but Bai gives her 100,000 catties every month, which is equivalent to thousands of weapons. That's still up for debate.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, only Xia Zixiu was silent, because the protagonist of this banquet was completely the nineteenth princess, and he didn't say a few words at all. It was Liu Shiyan who exchanged a few words with him from time to time, but Liu Shiyan seemed to have been testing Xia Zixiu, and Xia Zixiu hurriedly prevaricated with physical discomfort.
At the end of the banquet, the princess and all the concubines personally sent the nineteenth princess out, holding hands and looking reluctant. King Ming also gave a gift, he was not stingy, and gave the nineteenth princess a snow-white BMW. The last thing he lacks here is a war horse. Of course, there are other jewels and jade, etc., anyway, King Ming will not lose his face, and he is very generous!
When the nineteenth princess was sent away, and the princess and the others went back happily, King Ming frowned and asked, "What does she want so much iron and stone for?" ”
"Of course, it's a weapon! She is new to the city, does she have any strength, of course, she urgently needs to recruit troops and build weapons. Liu Shiyan immediately said that he is now the celebrity in front of him tomorrow night, and he has already participated in King Ming's family banquet twice!
"Was that deal worth it?" King Ming asked with some hesitation, he was referring to the trade of soap and iron stone.
"No! Although that thing is very good, it is just a woman's plaything after all, and the stakes in it are still for King Ming to consider! Liu Shiyan immediately denied King Ming's idea.
"Hmmm! I thought so too, after all, with those fifty pieces of soap, it should be enough! King Ming nodded and said.
……
On the way back, Xia Zixiu was still depressed, all the things today were solved by the nineteenth princess by herself, he, the lord of the city, had nothing to do, and he didn't have a chance to take out the prepared subordinates. The point is that until now he hasn't figured out what that downlink should be!
"Nineteenth sister, I really thank you for today! Alas, I can't help at all! Xia Zixiu said with a face full of shame.
"I don't blame you, after all, King Ming and I are brother and sister, and we can talk to the princess! Anyway, we've got three months now! The nineteenth princess was very understanding and comforted Xia Zixiu and said.
"Alas! But what happens after three months? Xia Zixiu not only did not become happy, but sighed worriedly.
The nineteenth princess frowned, this person seems to be a little too pessimistic, can't she just find a way after three months? I was about to say something, but I saw Wu Yue and the guards greeting them: "Welcome the two city lords back to the city!" ”
"Good! Let's go! "The nineteenth princess is still very happy in her heart, she has returned to her own territory, but she feels different. But inadvertently, I saw Ji Zhihan also coming. It turned out that Ji Zhihui was very anxious, he wanted to ask King Ming what he said about those teas, and whether he could open the shop to King Ming's fiefdom.
"Ji Zhihui, why are you here too?" The nineteenth princess was in a good mood now, so she asked with a smile.
"I want to ask King Ming what he thinks of my tea?" Ji Zhihui immediately ran over and said. But when I saw Xia Zixiu, I was a little disdainful! Because Xia Zixiu was a little listless at this time, he couldn't see the elegance and chic of the past.
"Oh! This is going to disappoint you, I didn't talk about it today, but don't worry, with the consignment/sale of the seventh sister, your tea will not be unsold! The nineteenth princess smiled and shook her head, she has been dealing with King Ming and the princess's wife today, and she has no time to worry about tea at all.
"Oh! That subordinate retired! Ji Zhihui was a little disappointed and ready to retreat.
"Ji Zhihui! You've seen this, right? The nineteenth princess took out the blank piece of paper with the words 'Liuhe Tower' written on it from her arms and asked.
"Hmmm! Written by Xiaobao! Ji Zhihui looked at it and immediately recognized it.
"Then you have a downlink! Don't tell me anything vulgar about the big head! The nineteenth princess said indifferently, in fact, she was quite embarrassed in her heart, Xia Zixiu was next to her, but she couldn't help but be curious.
"Huh? Haven't come up yet? Unexpectedly, Ji Zhihui looked at Xia Zixiu very exaggeratedly, and then read aloud: "One palm, five fingers, three long and two short, six and seven layers of the ground in all directions!" ”
Xia Zixiu was suddenly shocked---- perfect and neat, domineering!
