Chapter 0074: Xiang Minzhong's calculations
When Kou Ji saw Liu Heng and the others, he understood what Chen Lin meant by mentioning him last night.
Whether or not the food can be improved depends on whether Liu Heng and others are willing to help him bring food into the palace.
Under Kou Ji's coaxing, Liu Heng and his entourage promised Kou Ji that when he entered the palace tomorrow, he would help him bring some food.
Of course, Kou Ji asked Liu Heng to bring food, and he didn't need to be coaxed at all, he just needed to say it.
For those of them who accompany the study, bringing some food into the palace is just a convenient thing and not a trouble.
The only thing to pay attention to is that the things they bring into the palace must not be eaten by the prince.
Zhao Yingfu was on the side, holding a book, pretending to be reading.
But when he heard the names of the dishes reported from Kou Ji's mouth, he drooled greedily.
Although the food he ate in the palace was delicacies from the mountains and the sea, he had never eaten ordinary folk food.
"Brother Kou, helping you bring food into the palace is a convenient thing for us. But you have to promise us that you will never give the prince food that we bring you.
If the prince eats what we brought into the palace, and something goes wrong, we can't afford it. ”
After Cao Tong agreed to help Kou Ji bring food, he reminded him.
Kou Ji smiled: "You don't have to worry, I know the severity, I won't give it to the prince." ”
Zhao Fuyi put down the book in his hand and looked at them deeply with resentment, "I heard ......"
Cao Tong and the others looked at Zhao Yingyi and smiled awkwardly.
Only Kou Ji pouted and said, "I don't have your share if I hear it." ”
Zhao benefited from deeper resentment.
Just as Kou Ji was about to enlighten the prince, a cough sounded from the staircase.
Kou Ji and his entourage hurriedly sat upright at their desks.
Xiang Minzhong staggered up to the second floor with his hands behind his back, holding the ring ruler, and after raising his eyes to sweep over Kou Ji and the others, he said lightly: "The old man is tired, I want to rest for a while, you go and play for a while......
Kou Ji shook his head with a smile.
The old man is really willful, teaching the prince things, and others can't wait to talk about it for a day.
He's fine, he wants to teach, and if he doesn't want to teach, he sleeps.
Kou Ji and the others got up, and after giving a salute, they prepared to leave Wende Building.
When he went downstairs, Xiang Minzhong stopped Kou Ji.
Xiang Minzhong asked Kou Ji to help him replace the chair with a soft couch, he lay on his side on the soft couch, and said to Kou Ji: "The old man just smoked Guo Huai a few boards in front of the queen. In the future, if he embarrasses you again, you will tell the old man, and the old man will smoke him. ”
Kou Ji groaned: "What do you think, kid, you are making revenge on me." ”
Xiang Minzhong glared, "A little eunuch, you are afraid, what about your literati bones?" ”
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid...... It's just a villain like Guo Huai, you should just smoke him to death, or ignore him. Repeatedly provoking him will only make him hate you more and more. ”
The corners of Xiang Minzhong's mouth twitched, and he looked Kou Ji up and down, "Are you really ...... Kou Zhun's grandson is as ruthless as him. ”
Xiang Minzhong sighed: "Pumping the queen's close eunuch to death for no reason will cause trouble." The old man is not afraid of trouble, but if the queen asks the old man for trouble with his sons, the old man can't stop him. ”
After saying this, Xiang Minzhong pretended to be casual and said, "I heard that something happened in the palace, and it has something to do with you?" ”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly.
Xiang Minzhong said unhappily: "The old man and your grandfather are world friends, and you even hide it from the old man?" ”
Kou Ji said seriously: "Since it is a world friend, you should ask my grandfather directly, he knows more than me." ”
Xiang Minzhong was angry for a while, glaring at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji grinned, "They don't want to tell you, that's why you took the news from the little boy's mouth." I said, you, an elder, met the boy, and gave a meeting gift, and helped the boy get ahead.
It turned out that he wanted to get the news from the child's mouth. ”
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji and snorted, "So what? Do you say it or not? ”
Kou Ji shook his head slowly, "They don't tell you, and I can't tell you either." ”
Xiang Minzhong picked up the ring ruler on the table and threatened: "Do you believe that the old man beats you every day?" ”
"I believe it! But I still can't tell you. ”
Kou Ji said seriously: "It's a big matter, and if you get involved, it's trouble." ”
Xiang Minzhong frowned and muttered, "What's the trouble......"
Kou Ji said cryptically: "Regardless of identity and status, you have to die ......"
Xiang Minzhong lost his voice and said: "The big thing that turns the sky upside down ......"
Kou Ji reminded: "If there are people in the family who are related to the Taoists, quickly clear up the relationship. ”
Xiang Min's head was shocked, he sat up, and arched his hand: "The old man accepted your love." ”
Kou Ji hurriedly returned the salute and said, "It's important to say something to grandpa." The kid took his leave first. ”
"Go for it......"
Xiang Minzhong waved his hand.
Kou Ji went down to Wende Building.
Xiang Minzhong looked at Kou Ji's back as he went downstairs, and said quietly: "No wonder Kou Zhun and Li Di, the two old guys, refuse to reveal a word, and they have to let the old man come to you to ask for a favor."
What a clever little fox......
The old man just showed a little closeness, and you can guess the old man's intentions......"
Wende downstairs.
Kou Ji pinched the jade lion paperweight in his hand and said to himself: "The old men are really powerful, and none of them do loss-making transactions." Grandfather and Li Di were reluctant to tell Xiang Minzhong about the poisonous elixir, but they revealed that I had something to do with this matter, and they just wanted to use my mouth to reveal something to Xiang Minzhong?
It doesn't feel like ......
Xiang Minzhong just said that he owes me a favor......
Could it be that someone in the Xiang family has an affair with a Taoist, so it is inconvenient for my grandfather and Li Di to reveal it, so they can only let Xiang Minzhong ask me?
Are they going to make Xiang Minzhong owe me a favor?
His favor is very valuable? Or did grandfather and Li Di have other intentions? ”
"Fourth brother, what do you want? Let's play Kemari together. ”
Liu Heng, who was playing Keju in the courtyard downstairs in Wende, raised his hand to greet Kou Ji after seeing him.
Kou Ji took back the Jade Lion paperweight and beckoned to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng ran in front of Kou Ji.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong?"
Kou Ji said: "I haven't thought about it before, what to do in the future, and now I have a clue......
Liu Heng's eyes lit up and asked, "What to do?" ”
"Be a pawn shop!"
"Pawn shop?"
Liu Heng frowned and said suspiciously: "Pawn shops don't make much money...... I can make a few bucks by collecting some tattered skins all day long......"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "No, no, no, the pawn shop is not as simple as you think." ”
Pawn shops do make money by collecting tattered skins and rags, and occasionally they can only come across precious things such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Even if you come across these things, you will be recovered at eighty percent of the price.
Even if there is a profit in the middle, the profit will not be too large.
If others live, the pawnshop will make less money.
Occasionally, I met a seller who didn't know the goods, so I could make a lot of money.
But there are very few such illiterate sellers.
Of course, this is just a pawnshop in the eyes of ordinary people.
In Kou Ji's eyes, there is something extraordinary about the pawn shop.
When Kou Ji was planning the Wu family, he also carefully understood the rules of the pawnshop.
He found that there was a clear difference between the pawnshops of ancient times and the pawnshops of later generations.
In ancient times, a pawnshop was more like a place for mortgages.
