Chapter 58: Wu Mengming

I didn't borrow money from my grandfather, but someone gave me silver, although Princess Kunxing didn't know the intention of the giver, but she didn't care, so she smiled happily, and then happily returned to the palace.

"Princess, you make it very difficult for the ministers to do this!" As soon as Princess Kunxing returned to the Shouning Palace where she lived, a middle-aged man wearing a golden flying fish suit and a black gauze hat appeared in front of her and sighed to her.

"It's Uncle Wu!" Princess Kunxing smiled and secretly stuck out her tongue, the person named Wu Mengming, the official worshiped the Jinyi guard and commanded the Tongzhi, and the guard was in charge of guarding the four gates of the palace. The reason why Princess Kunxing called him Uncle Wu was because Wu Mengming was an old man in the Xinwang Mansion, and when Emperor Chongzhen had not ascended the throne, he worked as an errand in the Xinwang Mansion, and he had a very close relationship with the royal family.

"The princess doesn't dare to call it that, she kills the minister." Wu Mengming smiled helplessly, but there was no way to take Princess Kunxing, "The princess goes in and out of the palace so often to meet outsiders, but it is not appropriate, if it reaches the ears of the ministers, the royal face will be lost, and the long live lord will definitely be furious!" ”

"You, you sent someone to follow me!" Princess Kunxing jumped up, pointed at Wu Mengming and shouted. It's over, seeing that Chen Yue's matter is exposed, what can I do? Princess Kunxing was annoyed

"The princess is a nobleman, a body of ten thousand gold, if the minister does not send someone to protect her when she leaves the palace, once there is a mistake, the minister will die." Wu Mengming smiled bitterly.

"I, I saw that Chen Yue was doing business with him in partnership, and to share his father's worries and solve problems, you can't think about it, let alone tell your father!" Princess Kunxing was about to cry, if her father knew that she had seen a strange man, she would definitely kill Chen Yue for the sake of royal face!

Looking at Princess Kunxing's anxious jumping feet, Wu Mengming couldn't help but feel pity while being amused. Every time Princess Kunxing went out of the palace, he sent someone to protect him secretly, and this time the people sent overheard the conversation between Princess Kunxing and Chen Yue in the bun shop.

It was precisely knowing Kun Xing's purpose for meeting Chen Yue that Wu Mengming would be moved and pity. has followed Chongzhen since the Xinwang Mansion, and Wu Mengming naturally knows that this son is having a hard time today. As if to test and temper it, God put all the difficulties on this sad emperor, there are strong enemies of the Qing army outside the pass and repeatedly enter the pass to loot, countless Ming elite soldiers will be defeated by the captives, there are strong thieves attacking the city and plundering the land, the entire Central Plains has been beaten into a mess, drought, severe cold, earthquakes, plagues, countless disasters one after another, the young emperor bent over and was sad and white-headed!

The tax revenue in the north could not be collected, and the tax and silver in the south had dropped sharply year after year, and the silver in the treasury was simply not enough to pay the soldiers at the border gates. Princess Kunxing, a teenage girl, can think of making money to share her father's worries, and her pure filial piety makes Wu Mengming unable to help but be moved.

can be moved, but he can no longer let Kun Xing leave the palace without permission, because once it is exposed, the consequences are not something he can bear.

"I won't tell the Lord Banzai," Wu Mengming said softly, "But the princess can't leave the palace in the future." ”

"I don't leave the palace, what about my business? How can I hand over the capital I raised to Chen Yue! Uncle Wu, can you just keep your eyes open and close your eyes, I'll just leave the palace again tomorrow! Princess Kunxing pleaded pitifully with a wrinkled face.

"Princess, if you are out of the palace, can you still personally participate in what business, not everything is done by Chen Yue, what does it make if you can't get out of the palace like this, as for the capital, the prince is mainly trustworthy and the minister will hand it over to him!" Unable to withstand Princess Kunxing's bitter pleading, Wu Mengming could only put forward this compromise proposal.

"Alright then!" Looking at Wu Mengming's insistent look, Princess Kunxing knew that it was impossible to leave the palace casually, "Uncle Wu, you help me hand over the silver ticket to him, let him work hard and make the business bigger quickly, and ah, if the business is in trouble, Uncle Wu, you have to support him, and you can't let him be bullied by others." ”

"Okay, princess." Wu Mengming agreed with a wry smile.

......

"Who are you?" In the bun shop, Chen Yue looked at the burly middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, while secretly guessing his identity. I agreed to meet "Zhou Gongzi" here today, who knew that it would be such a high-spirited man!

"I am a descendant of Zhou Gongzi's family, he can't come today because of something, let me hand over the principal to you!" Wu Mengming took out the silver ticket from his arms and looked at Chen Yue carefully. Young and heroic, full of vigor and perseverance, he is a person who does great things!

"There's Brother Lao!" Chen Yue said casually and reached out to take the silver ticket.

"Presumably Chen Gongzi also guessed the true identity of my son-in-law, she is really inconvenient to show up, and she is not suitable for any business, so in the future, I will have direct contact with Chen Gongzi on matters related to this business, and then I will report back to my son-in-law." Wu Mengming continued, Princess Kunxing's daughter couldn't hide it in the eyes of people with a heart, which was also the biggest reason why he prevented Kunxing from leaving the palace.

"Yes, but what if the business is in trouble? Who do I talk to? Chen Yue asked, the reason why he decided to cooperate with this "Zhou Gongzi" was because of the background of Jiading Bofu, with the emperor's father-in-law as a backer, and he was not afraid of being forcibly occupied by others.

"Our family's business, no one dares to find trouble!" Wu Mengming smiled confidently and casually threw something to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue took it and took a look, but it was a black waist card, engraved on the front with "Jinyi Wei Hundred Households Chen Yue", and in turn it was the words "Internal value guard, not used when going out of Beijing".

Jinyiwei, he actually became a hundred households of Jinyiwei? Chen Yue looked at Wu Mengming in shock.

"It's just an identity, there is no need to be on duty, and there is no salary." Wu Mengming said with a smile, "General troubles, with this waist card can be solved, if it can't be solved, you can go to Jiangmi Lane Jinyi Wei Yamen, find a thousand households named Ma Quan, he will give me the news." ”

"Do it well, don't live up to the expectations of Gonggong and Zhou Gongzi!" After Wu Mengming finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and left the bun shop.

I actually became a hundred households in brocade clothes! Looking at the waist card in his hand, Chen Yue's heart was extremely agitated. Jinyi Wei Baihu, the martial arts position of the sixth grade, the official rank is the same as that of his father Chen Jianghe, but the status is far from being comparable to Chen Jianghe. In the Ming Dynasty, the special status of Jinyiwei is well known, even if the status of the factory guard is not as good as the previous Chongzhen Dynasty, Jinyiwei still no one dares to provoke easily.

Although he is a hundred households without a job, but with this waist card, it is equivalent to having a talisman, many of the means that could not be used in the past, can now be displayed, whether it is a fox or a fake tiger, or a bully, with it the honeycomb coal business can be expanded as soon as possible.
