"Since Your Highness can trust our money bank, our money bank will naturally do our best to use this money for His Royal Highness."

Ning Zhao poured another cup of tea for Murong Ji and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will ask Shopkeeper Qin to prepare the documents and send them to His Highness, and then personally sort out the money for His Highness, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

"Madame, this king is naturally relieved." Murong Ji said with a smile.

Ning Zhao's guess was only half right, and there were more important reasons why Murong Ji chose Ning's Qianzhuang.

He is now standing on the cusp of winning the heir, although he is unwilling to do many things, but he can't stand the admiration of everyone and pushes himself to his current position.

Since he has already stood in this position, if he wants to compete with Murong Cheng for this throne, in addition to the ministers, he also needs a lot of funds.

He has a fiefdom outside, and he is much better than the crown prince Murong Cheng in this regard, he has many opportunities to get money, but what he does requires a steady stream of money, and it is definitely not possible to sit on the mountain and eat empty, so he can only find another way to get money from another place.

Another reason is because of Jin Yuan.

Now Jin Yuan is deeply trusted by the old emperor, and if Jin Yuan is won to his side, it will be a great help to his great cause.

Jin Yuan usually showed no bias, but Murong Ji knew that Jin Yuan and Murong Cheng had always been on opposite sides, and the enemy of the enemy was a friend, although Jin Yuan didn't seem to need him as a friend now, he also had to find a way to make them friends!

"There is nothing else left for this king." Murong Ji put down the teacup, stood up, and arched his hand towards Ning Zhao and Qin Yan, his attitude was as modest and polite as ever.

"Since then, Mrs. Lao and the shopkeeper have to worry about it." Murong Ji said.

Ning Zhao and Qin Yan also hurriedly returned the salute, and after a few more greetings, Ning Zhao sent Murong Ji away from Qianzhuang.

"This His Royal Highness the King of Chu is quite interesting."

Qin Yan leaned lazily against the door, glanced at Murong Ji, who had disappeared into the crowd, turned back to Ning Zhao and smiled: "If it weren't for Madame knowing him, I really wouldn't have seen that this is an imperial noble." ”

"The king of Chu has always been generous and courteous, and he has no arrogance." Ning Zhao retracted his gaze, turned around and walked back, Qin Yan followed behind her, and the two walked through the crowd and returned to the backyard.

Ning Zhao sat down again, looked at Qin Shi, and asked, "How did you negotiate with him before?" ”

"Nothing special."

Qin Yan sat down with a stroke of the hem and said: "But it just said that what is the benefit of us choosing our money bank, and the other is to recommend him some good business routes, anyway, we are just the ones who make the idea, and he is the one who makes the choice in the end, of course, how to blow the matter well." ”

Ning Zhao laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he said: "Although you are not from Kyoto, you should also know that the emperor has two sons, the eldest son is His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince, and the other is His Royal Highness Murong Ji, the King of Chu you saw before. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a favorite concubine, so he has always been favored by the emperor, so much so that he ......" Ning Zhao said and paused, and then lowered his voice a little and said: "So much so that the emperor has always wanted to abolish the crown prince and set up the king of Chu as the crown prince." ”

Although royal affairs are said to be taboo, the people will more or less hear some rumors among them, and what Ning Zhao said, Qin Yan has also heard of it, so naturally there is nothing to be surprised about.

It was Ning Zhao's suddenly sinking face that made Qin Yan very curious.

He looked at Ning Zhao quietly, waiting for her next words.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as you can see, has always been a gentle person, and at first he didn't mean to compete with the prince, but now it's different."

Ning Zhao said, giving Qin Yan a look, Qin Yan was not stupid, and naturally understood what she meant by her unfinished words.

"So do you think His Royal Highness the King of Chu chose our money village for other purposes?" Qin Yan asked.

Ning Zhao didn't answer, but was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is our first honored guest, and his money must be planned well." ”

"You find a few good business routes, and when the time comes, you will discuss with me, and if they are good, we will make a business for him." Ning Zhao said.

Hearing this, Qin Yan nodded, his rare expression also straightened, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let him spend the money of the King of Chu, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." ”

Ning Zhao smiled with satisfaction, the two sat and chatted for a while, and when it was dark in winter, Ning Zhao went straight back to Shangshu Mansion.

Jin Yuan hadn't come back yet, Ning Zhao asked Qing Cicada to prepare dinner, and Ning Zhao wanted to talk to Jin Yuan about Murong Ji.

Ning Jian has been very peaceful in the past few days, and she has just relaxed, but she doesn't want Murong Cheng to come to her again.

Since returning the money to Murong Cheng, Murong Cheng finally let Ning Jian live a few days of peace. Murong Cheng didn't even expect that Ning Jian would get the money so quickly.

From the moment Murong Cheng found out the clues, he asked someone to secretly investigate, and naturally knew what Ning Jian had done with this money, but in fact, this money was nothing to the East Palace at all, he just wanted to beat Ning Lian not to be self-righteous, on the other hand, he also knew that Ning Lian was going to open a restaurant.

It was done with the money of his East Palace, and no matter what, it should be his Murong Cheng in the end, but who would have thought that Ning Lian was unconscious, but Ning Hong directly sold the shop to someone else.

The good business was gone, and Murong Cheng only regretted it a little, and didn't pay much attention to it, until Ning Zhao's money bank opened, and his people found out that the seller of the restaurant was actually the big shopkeeper of Ning Zhao's money bank.

This discovery is a bit interesting.

Murong Cheng sat on the high seat, looked at Ning Lian, who was very restrained below, and couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Concubine Ai, is this afraid of this palace?" Still don't want to see Hongu? ”

Ning Jian couldn't help but shudder, and raised his eyes to look at Murong Cheng in surprise.

The word concubine, Murong Cheng had never called himself like this, Ning Jian was startled at first, and then became more vigilant, without any joy.

"What His Highness said, the concubines can't wait to be by His Highness's side day and night, where would they be unwilling." Ning Lian retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes and replied.

Murong Cheng nodded when he heard this, and asked unintentionally: "The Treasure Pavilion before the Ning Mansion, you were going to use it to change it into a restaurant?" ”

The restaurant has been sold, and the money has been returned to the East Palace, Ning Lian didn't understand what Murong Cheng was asking about this matter for, so he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and replied honestly: "Yes." ”

"However, now the store has been sold." Ning Jian hurriedly added.

"Hongu has heard about it, too." Murong Cheng nodded, and then asked, "Does Concubine Ai know who the seller is?" ”

Ning Lian couldn't understand Murong Cheng, and still replied honestly: "It is said that it is a merchant who traveled to Beijing, and the concubine only knows that the person's surname is Qin, and the rest is not clear." ”

Murong Cheng looked at Ning Lian, smiled meaningfully, and said, "It seems that Concubine Ai really doesn't know the details of that person. ”
