Chapter 43 Disputes over Trees

The man who spoke was a young man in his twenties, who was facing away from the king, and was about eight feet tall, and looked like a strong and burly man. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tong Guanyi looked up and saw Wang Bi and Zhi Keshi approaching, and was about to say hello, Wang Bi put his index finger to his lips and gestured with a boo, and then waved his hand. Tong Guan immediately understood that this was because Wang Fang didn't want to alarm this person. He smiled knowingly, and then asked: "You brother is a contradiction, just said that he came to my house as a guest, and said that the king of Zhennan helped you, how do you know that the king of Zhennan is my father, but you don't go in, and thank my father in person!" As he spoke, he tugged at the boy's sleeve and pulled it tighter.

As soon as the young man turned around and saw the king next to him behind him, he hurriedly said: "This son, let go of me, you listen to me." Otherwise, people would think that the two of us were fighting. ”

Wang next to him stepped forward and saw that this young man's facial features were very thoughtful, and his leopard head and eyes were full of spirit, and he liked it very much. Suddenly, the childlike heart was surprised and said, "Why are these two pulling and pulling in front of the palace, belch?" Isn't this the young prince of the palace? ”

Tong Guan was also a little clever, and hurriedly replied: "It is Tong Guan, the adopted son of the prince, who is below." He turned to the young man and said, "You see, those who don't know think that I am a bully, and I have to drag you to the palace." In this way, you tell this prince what is going on, and if he says that you should see the prince, then you can go in with me. If he says it shouldn't, then I'll let you go right here, what do you think? ”

The young man is also a very polite person, seeing that the king is dressed in a white robe, a graceful son, and a young entourage behind him, presumably the son of a big family, he didn't think much about it and said: "This son came just right, and his surname is Lin, a person from Hangzhou." ”

The king arched his hand and said, "The surname is Wang!" ”

Gongzi Lin hesitated slightly, and then looked at the courtyard of the palace: "This prince is the heir or relative of the prince?" ”

Wang looked at him curiously, "Why did Lin Gongzi ask this?" ”

"Hey, this son's surname is Tong, and the king of Zhennan is surnamed Wang, how do I know that he is the adopted son of the king of Zhennan?! But Gongzi, your surname is Wang, so I have to ask again. ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Bian smiled and said decisively: "I'm not the heir of the prince of Zhennan, definitely not!" ”

Seeing that Lin Gongzi was still a little hesitant, the king said: "That's it, I met with the two sons today, there is just an immortal cave teahouse not far ahead, why don't I invite the two sons to sit there, whether I can enter the palace to see the prince, how about discussing it later?" ”

Tong Guan held back a smile: "Okay, seeing that this prince has an extraordinary appearance and is so generous, I agreed." Lin Gongzi, won't you still give face? ”

Lin Gongzi hurriedly said: "How dare you, thanks to Tong Gongzi for coming forward to relieve me today." I'll just go with the two of you. ”

Wang next to the fold can be a squeeze of eyes, fold can be the first to book a seat, a few people came to the teahouse with little effort. The shopkeeper of the teahouse greeted him in person, and there were almost no shopkeepers of teahouses in the capital who did not know the king. But today, the shopkeeper greeted him and said, "The three guest officers, please." As he spoke, he laughed and let the three of them into a private room.

Zhe Keshi handed the silver to the shopkeeper: "The best incense piece!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Why does the prince have time to come to us today?" And what's the reason for this incognito?! ”

"It's none of your business, you don't care, the prince is called a micro-service visit." Zhe Keshi pouted and said.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and with little effort, Xiao Er sent the tea to the room. Suddenly, the fragrance of tea in the room was overflowing, refreshing. The three people in the room had already been polite to each other, and during the conversation, they learned that this person's name was Lin Haozhi. Wang asked next to him: "Since Lin Gongzi is from Hangzhou, what is the reason why he came to the capital?" How did you get into an argument with this boy? ”

Lin Haozhi replied: "This is a long story, but I met a noble person today, if it weren't for the help of this boy, I'm afraid I would be bankrupt." ”

Seeing Tong Guan's slightly proud look, Wang asked next to him, "Tong Gongzi, what good things have you done?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Today's Flower Dynasty Festival, I accompanied the uncle to see the matter, went to Fanta Temple to see Elder Nayan, just met this Lin Gongzi, listen to the recommendation of Elder Nayan, this Flower Dynasty Festival Lin Gongzi donated a lot of fragrant flowers and trees. ”

Wang said with a smile: "This is a good deed, I didn't expect Gongzi and Elder Nayan to know each other." ”

Lin Haozhi said: "This is a long story, once Elder Nayan went to Hangzhou to do things, and it just so happened that I was a pilgrim of the temple, and I also funded the temple repair. That's how Elder Nayan and I got acquainted. I can't imagine ......," he said and sighed, and then continued: "I didn't expect that something happened in the family, and my father couldn't swallow it in one breath, and he had a grudge with the court, and he broke into a catastrophe that destroyed the whole family. Thanks to the name of King Zhennan, my family's life was saved and corrupt officials were punished. ”

Wang Pan and Tong Guan couldn't help but look at each other, Tong Guan's eyes were extremely admired, but Wang Pan was a little dazed: Hangzhou himself rarely goes, when did he save the people of Hangzhou? This guy's surname is Lin, is this guy a descendant of Lin Bo? If you ask now, you will reveal your identity as a prince, and you won't be able to ask why he doesn't want to see him. "This is a good thing, in that case, why doesn't Lin Gongzi want to see the prince?"

Lin Haozhi said: "It's not that I don't want to see the prince, but although my father has been pardoned, he is a guilty person after all. I also have a righteous sister who married a bachelor surnamed Qin, but the bachelor Qin was demoted to Guxian County, Jingjiang Prefecture and became a county magistrate. I don't understand the affairs of officialdom, but in my situation, it is estimated that the prince may not want to see me. ”

The surname Qin is Qin Minxue, so Wang's inference is correct. Wang Bei smiled: "I heard that the king of Zhennan has always been informal, and he is generous and has a good character, I think you think you are thinking too much." ”

Tong Guan pouted, and my father boasted that he didn't blush.

This subtle expression did not escape the eyes of the king, and he changed his words and said: "But I also heard that his righteous son, this boy is young and loves to cause trouble, I don't know if this is true?" ”

Tong Guan was said by Wang Bian, but it was not easy to refute with Wang Bian, and he blushed and said: "Where, Lao Tzu is a hero." I'm a little quick-tempered, but I didn't cause trouble today, don't believe it, you ask this Lin Gongzi. ”

Lin Haozhi hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes. The boy helped me a lot. At the end of today's Morning Flower Festival, more than a dozen people came, picked up the fragrant flowers and left. I didn't have any of these people, so I stopped and asked what was going on. Those people said that Xu Guanren ordered them to take them, but these things are my life, of course I won't let them take them. Later, an argument ensued, and it happened that Tong Gongzi was present. ”

Tong Guan said: "These people are menacing, saying that they will take away the flowers and trees placed in the temple, and threaten to destroy them on the spot if they can't take them away." ”

Wang was also curious: "These people are actually robbing in broad daylight?" ”

Tong Guan said: "That's right! I also asked so, and they said that these were the things that the prince promised to give to Xu Guanren. I said, don't take it! They asked me who I was, and I reported my name, hmph, they really flinched, and said that they would ask Xu Daguan when they went back. ”

Lin Haozhi also answered: "Yes, Tong Gongzi is very powerful, he said his name, and those people hesitated." ”

Wang looked at Tong Guan, Tong Guan smiled, and said in a low voice: "I called their leader and told him that I was from the Zhennan Palace, and this guy was busy taking care of his flowers and trees. So I didn't hear it! ”

The king smiled, this kid has also learned to be a fox and a tiger. "Have you asked who the other party is?"

Tong Guan replied: "I asked, the other party said that it was Xu Guanren who invited him, and I stuffed some silver into the leader, and he said that Xu Guanren said that the king of the county promised to give Xu Daguan the work of repairing the royal sacrificial garden, and the surname Xu paid a deposit of two silver taels, but then he didn't live with him at all." Now the king of the county said that he didn't have any silver, but he could give him all the flowers and trees used in the sacrifice, and let him decide whether to sell them or use them for his own use. ”

Wang Bi pondered for a moment and asked, "Young Master Lin, with all due respect." Where do you come from, and how do you get involved with the royal sacrificial garden? ”

Lin Haozhi said: "Wang Gongzi, this matter is a long story, just now Tong Gongzi also said, I donated a lot of fragrant flowers and trees to the temple during the Morning Flower Festival, which is for a reason." When I first came to the capital, it happened that the royal family was bidding for the repair of the garden in the suburbs of Beijing, and I thought that since my Lin family was blessed by misfortune this time, and the heirs could participate in the scientific examination, it was better to stay in the capital and do something while studying and waiting for the scientific examination. So I went to submit a bid, but I didn't expect to be favored by Shen Kuo, the director of the bidding, but I didn't have so much money to operate, and I went to the Taibao Bank to make a loan under the guidance of Master Shen. ”

Wang smiled next to him, sure that Tong Guan was not helping him with a loan, he nodded and motioned for Lin Gongzi to continue, seeing that Lin Gongzi took a sip of tea and continued: "To make a loan, you need a guarantor, Master Qin is not willing to care about me, besides, he said, it turns out that the person who does the sacrificial garden is also a relative of the emperor, let me give up this bid." I was not reconciled, so I found Elder Nayan. Unexpectedly, Elder Nayan agreed, and said that this was a good thing for the imperial court. So, I got the loan and took over the business.

Then I found out that it was not a simple sacrificial garden, the original garden fragrant flowers and bonsai were only available along the road, and the back were piles of wasteland, fake scenes, which can really be described as gold and jade. I needed to renovate and buy some bonsai, but I barely made a profit on these expenses. At that time, I also asked Mr. Shen how to deal with these decorations in the past. According to investigation, the previously decorated ones are discarded, and new ones are installed every year. That's exactly what I did. ”

The king knew that what he said was the truth, and that every year the royal sacrifice was basically replaced with a new one for the next year, which was also a reason for the high cost. I heard Lin Haozhi continue: "The fragrant flowers and trees donated to the temple by the Chaohua Festival today are all used by the royal sacrifices in the suburbs of Beijing. And many things are not donated, they can only be said to be lent to the temple. Next year I also plan to repurpose some of the available ones and bid again with a lower price scheme. In this way, not only can I save a lot of royal expenses, but I don't have to take out another loan. ”
