Steward Liu saw his son-in-law push the door in and was a little puzzled.

The daughter was able to marry into the Duke of Qi because her father was a staff member of Cheng Lou, the Duke of Qi, when he was young. Mr. Cheng remembered the old relationship and decided on this family business.

Although his son-in-law is the second son of General Cheng, he is very favored. I was assigned an errand this year and served in the Imperial Front. In less than a year, he was promoted to the commander of the guards of the Taiji Palace, and his future is limitless.

For this son-in-law, Steward Liu is satisfied. It's just that his daughter married into the Qi Mansion for three years and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, which really worried him. The son-in-law often came to visit him in the past two years, but his daughter's stomach has not moved, so he vaguely mentioned it a few more times. Who knew that the son-in-law was afraid of him, and in the past year, except for the New Year's holidays, the son-in-law has not visited him once.

At this moment, seeing his son-in-law standing at the door a little uncomfortably, Steward Liu was quite surprised.

"Huaibi, are you okay?"

Hearing Lao Taishan's cold tone, Cheng Huaibi tugged at his cuffs with some embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. At this time, Tang Xiao flashed out from behind him, which immediately attracted the attention of Old Taishan.

"Who is this?"

"Lord Yue, this is His Royal Highness King Anle."

Hearing this, Steward Liu was a little surprised. The story of the son-in-law's beating yesterday has long been known all over the city, but today he came with the beater, and the two looked like friends.

He didn't think much about why, so he took a serious look at the King of Anle who had upset him.

When they met for the first time, Steward Liu felt that King An Le looked calm and not as unbearable as the legend. However, looking at that fierce look, he didn't dare to let this master wait too long.

"Liu Shuyi has seen His Royal Highness King Anle!"

"Steward Liu doesn't need to be formal, the purpose of this king's search for you, you must have guessed it."

"My father entered the palace yesterday, and His Majesty has already commanded it. I stayed in Yunxi Tower early this morning, for fear of missing His Highness. ”

When Tang Xiao heard this, he wanted to ask Ling Zun's name, but after thinking about it, he felt a little reckless. He looked at Liu Shuyi and felt that this person did not look like a steward, and he was a little curious.

"Steward Liu has worked hard, this king doesn't know that you have been waiting for a long time, and I hope to forgive me."

"Your Highness is serious." Liu Shuyi hurriedly invited Tang Xiao into the room, took out a register from his arms, and handed it over: "This is the name of the industry under the name of Yunlan Pavilion, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look." ”

Tang Xiao sat on the main seat and looked at the booklet, Liu Shuyi whispered to Cheng Huaibi on the side, talking about some parents' shortcomings. Tang Xiao listened to a few words, and when he heard Liu Shuyi urging Cheng Huaibi to have a child, he felt a burst of amusement in his heart.

In less than half an hour, Tang Xiao hastily read the roster, and he also had a rough idea of some of the specific industries of Yunlan Pavilion in his heart. In addition to the shops, wine shops, and music shops around the Yunlan Lake, there is also a dart game in the south of the city.

Tang Xiao couldn't figure it out, how could Yunlan Pavilion have a dart game?

Seeing Tang Xiao raise his head, Cheng Huaibi consciously walked out of the door. He knew that his old Taishan was not just taking care of Yunlan Pavilion for His Majesty, but he didn't know what Old Taishan was doing for His Majesty, which was a bit mysterious.

The grandfather of the Liu family is even more mysterious, since the abolition of the crown prince twenty years ago, the old man resigned from the official position, turned to business, and became one of the giants in Chang'an City. And Yunlan Pavilion was also taken care of by the boss more than ten years ago, and after His Majesty inherited the unification, it was gradually all handed over to Lao Taishan.

In the house, Liu Shuyi added a few pieces of charcoal to the charcoal basin, and the flames rose up, and the room was much warmer for a while. Seeing that Tang Xiao hurriedly finished reading the roster, Liu Shuyi stood aside with his hands down, a little nervous in his heart.

"Steward Liu, why does Yunlan Pavilion still have a dart game?"

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to Your Highness, although this dart game is under the name of Yunlan Pavilion, it is not under the management of the palace. Forty percent of Yunlan Pavilion's monthly income will be sent to the dart board, and the rest will be remitted to the general ledger. ”

"Oh? Do you know why? Tang Xiao was very puzzled.

It stands to reason that there is no dart game in the world that does not make money, but loses money. With so many industries in Yunlan Pavilion, the monthly income must be quite large, and forty percent of them are fixed in the dart game, which is a strange thing. At the moment, just through a roster, he couldn't see any way in it.

"Your Highness, everything about the dart game is Your Majesty's will. If Your Highness wants to know, just ask Your Majesty. ”

When Tang Xiao heard this, he didn't continue to ask, but asked, "Can I read the accounts of these industries?" ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, you are now the master of Yunlan Pavilion, so you can naturally see it. It's just that these accounts are managed by each store itself, and they are summarized every six months, which is quite troublesome to review. ”

"The general ledger for the first half of this year is available to you?"

"I'll fetch it for His Highness below." With that, Liu Shuyi turned around and went to the inner hall.

After a while, Liu Shuyi came out with the account book and handed it to Tang Xiao: "Please take a look at Your Highness." ”

The ledger was very thick, Tang Xiao flipped through a few pages, and found that the accounts were all recorded in Arabic numerals, which were clearly organized, and it didn't look difficult. In a short time, he turned over a thick pile of ledgers.

Liu Shuyi stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this King of Anle will not check the accounts. But he didn't know that this ledger was much simpler than the complicated accounts of later generations.

For Tang Xiao, this is not a technical challenge at all. I have seen it so hastily, but I also know it by heart.

After tea, Tang Xiao returned the account book to Liu Shuyi, and a touch of contemplation flashed on his face.

These properties in Yunlan Pavilion all have thirty or forty thousand taels of silver in their accounts every month, and they are all pure income. In half a year, there are at least 200,000 taels.

However, in the final summary, only 50,000 taels of silver remained. Even if the forty percent given to the dart board is removed, will the remaining seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver be eaten by the dogs?

Liu Shuyi stood aside, not knowing what Tang Xiao was thinking, so he had to wait quietly.

The charcoal fire in the pot has been burned out, and only a trace of flame remains. For some reason, looking at Tang Xiao's contemplative appearance, Liu Shuyi felt that the room was suddenly much colder.

After a long time, Tang Xiao got up and said with a smile: "Steward Liu can take care of the huge industry of Yunlan Pavilion in an orderly manner, and this king is very relieved. In the next few days, the king will send two people to follow Steward Liu to study seriously, and I hope that Steward Liu will not refuse. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi smiled bitterly in his heart, but said humbly on his face: "It is the duty of a villain to do things for His Highness." ”

"Don't worry about Steward Liu, this king is not good at business, and I will expect you to earn more money for this king in the future. The first two days of the king of Japan were still worried about this copper-smelling thing, but now there is Steward Liu in charge of the money bag for the king, which is really relaxed. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi lowered his head and grinned, feeling bitter in his heart. He was not stupid, he heard the meaning of Tang's joke, and the next thing was nothing more than silver.

However, if some silver can stabilize the heart of King Anle, it is also a good thing. At least the silver that went into the pocket of His Royal Highness, since this lord didn't see the problem in the account book, he probably won't ask again in the future.

Sure enough, Tang Xiao instructed Liu Shuyi to prepare some silver in the next few days, and Liu Shuyi nodded in response.

Seeing that Tang Xiao had nothing else to ask, Liu Shuyi tactfully said that his father wanted to see His Royal Highness, which was also what His Majesty meant. Tang Xiao's reaction made Liu Shuyi feel a little strange, although His Royal Highness King Anle agreed, he didn't say when he would see him, but vaguely said that there had been a lot of things recently, and he would definitely visit him in a few days, and he would look at Haihan.

Liu Shuyi sent Tang Xiao out of the door, and the two talked a few more words. Seeing that Tang Xiao didn't ask any other questions, Liu Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, please go slowly!"

Liu Shuyi lowered his hand and sent it off, seeing Tang Xiao take two steps and turn around. He chuckled in his heart, feeling something wrong.

Because of the smile on Tang Xiao's face, there was a little ...... It's weird.

"That's right, Steward Liu." Tang Xiao was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot to say it!" There is a family in the apricot forest in this palace, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it a ghost. Mr. Ghost has recently done some research on infertility, and if Steward Liu needs it, this king can introduce you to it. ”

Tang Xiao threw down such a sentence and walked towards the ferry with a smile. Liu Shuyi and Cheng Huaibi were stunned in place, and the expressions on their faces were complicated.

The two glanced at each other, leaving Cheng Huaibi's sad eyes floating alone in the bleak cold wind.

On the way to Yunyan Tower, walking with Tang Xiao, Cheng Huaibi felt that he had collapsed. He walked in front, and his indignant eyes were almost able to meet gods and kill gods, and Buddha and Buddha.

Located in the westernmost corner of Yunlan Lake, Yunyan Tower is a five-storey small building, standing on the top floor and looking up, you can see the west wall of Chang'an City. It is a building full of Western style, both the exterior and the interior of the small building, there is a strong exotic taste.

The chefs in the restaurant are also from the Western Regions, where you can taste the food and wine of the Western Regions. The most famous restaurants are the sizzling steaks, pancakes, and wine.

Cheng Huaibi took Tang Xiao to Yunyan Tower, and the two were speechless all the way. When he entered the door, Cheng Huaibi suddenly stopped, and Tang Xiao didn't pay attention and hit him directly.

"Brother Cheng, stop whatever you say, don't even say hello."

Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Huaibi who turned around, and paused for a moment: I'm afraid that this guy's eyes can be barbecued, dare to be in love and can't bear it along the way, and I can't hold it back when I come here?

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Facing Cheng Huaibi's anger, Tang Xiao rolled his eyes and pretended to be stupid with a smile: "You stopped by yourself, how can you say that I did it on purpose?" Could it be that the little brother still deliberately bumped into you? ”

"Tang Wuwu, don't fucking pretend to be stupid! You know what I'm asking! ”

"Brother Cheng, look at you, what kind of anger is this!" Tang smiled and said with a hippie smile: "As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest. Brother, I accidentally overheard the conversation between you and your old Tarzan, and it happened that Mr. Ghost in my house was good at this, so he mentioned it. I mean it! ”

"Humph!" Cheng Huaibi was even more indignant when he heard this, and walked towards the building angrily.

I can't say it, I can't beat it. Who can understand the sorrow in my heart?

At this moment, Cheng Huaibi was hit continuously, and the sadness in his heart had already turned into a stinky canal......

"Oops! Do you have fucking eyes in the **! ”

Cheng Huaibi rubbed his chest, looked at the person in front of him who was knocked down by him, and wanted to step forward to help. But hearing this guy squirting feces, Cheng Huaibi, who was already angry with Tang Xiao, suddenly exploded, and rushed up with a kick.

The action was so fast that Tang Xiao behind him couldn't react. He looked at Cheng Er in a rage and smiled bitterly.
