"Xuanji Gongzi ......" An Xingchen showed a shy expression at this time, staring blankly at the man in front of him who looked like a fairy, and said with a bewildered chin at a loss, "As long as the son is willing to paint for me, I am willing to go bankrupt." ”

"Yan Shizi, dare to ask how much silver is needed to open up the wasteland and buy seeds?" Yun Xuanji didn't answer An Xingchen when he heard this, but turned his head to look at Yan Youhong inquiringly.

Yan Youhong was a little stunned for a while, but remembered that his sister was making all this to relieve the economic pressure of their Yan Wangfu, and remembered the rich and generous appearance of An Xingchen when he auctioned just now, so he pretended to be deep and said, "There is only 500,000 taels left to buy seeds in the wasteland, but the soldiers can only eat enough food until the harvest, and this harvest will be at least half a year smaller, and this year's military salary allocated by the DPRK and the central government is only enough for the soldiers to eat for two months." ”

Hearing this, An Xingchen only turned his head and glanced at Yan Youhong lightly, and then asked Youyou, "Dare to ask Yan Shizi, how many silver taels will it take to survive the harvest?" ”

Yan Youhong pretended to think, and only replied after a moment, "Two million taels should be enough." ”

Yan Zenyi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, his brother was not ambiguous at all, and he wanted two million taels for one mouth.

"You ......" An Xingchen obviously didn't expect that Yan Youhong would ask for two million taels as soon as he opened his mouth, although her grandfather was the richest man in the capital, and he was also generous to her and her mother, but after all, her mother was already the water spilled by the Zhou family.

Two million taels of silver, she took it out, but it was not cash silver, and she still needed turnover to allocate so much money. And if her grandfather knew that she took two million taels of silver to buy a painting, I was afraid that she would be deducted for a while.

An Xingchen glanced at Yan Youhong with some resentment, and already had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger.

"What's wrong? Aren't you willing to go bankrupt? Where would the eighth princess miss this opportunity to fall into the well, she immediately sneered, and asked in a worried tone, "Sister Xingchen, isn't she bankrupt and can't come up with two million taels of silver?" ”

An Xingchen has always been used to oppressing people with money, when did he lose face like this for silver, even if he lowered his face, and his eyes were full of tears, Chu Chu looked at Xuanji Gongzi pitifully.

Yun Xuanji still didn't look at her, but only arched his hand and said, "I didn't greet her well today, and I'm going to lose my company." I hope everyone is satisfied with today's meal, and I look forward to seeing you again on the 15th of next month. ”

After saying that, he flicked his wide sleeves, and wanted to turn around and walk downstairs. An Xingchen hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed the corner of Yun Xuanji's sleeve, and begged in a low voice, "Xuanji Gongzi, I really hope that Gongzi can paint for me." It's just that I can't get out two million taels for a while, can you give me three days? ”

"In that case, this young lady will come back in three days." Yun Xuanji didn't look back, only gently pulled the corner of his sleeve out of the white little hand, and slowly walked downstairs to leave.

When the eighth princess heard Xuanji's words, she couldn't sit still anymore at the moment, and just wanted to hurry back to the palace to see if she could make up two million taels of silver and come over before An Xingchen's little slut.

She pulled up the Nine Emperor Princes next to her and was about to leave, but the Nine Emperor Princes broke free from her and said, "Imperial Sister, this prince hasn't eaten yet!" This pastry can only be packed in one piece, and this prince must eat enough before leaving! ”

The eighth princess paused when she heard this, then turned her head to look at Miyu again, and asked gently, "Sister shopkeeper, this princess and the ninth brother want to pack two pastries and go back to my father and mother to taste them, and ask the shopkeeper sister to help me prepare them." ”

Miyu bowed slightly, and after a while, she came over with a food box and said, "Eighth princess, a total of forty taels of silver." ”

Forty taels of silver is already a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for the royal children who grew up with a golden soup and jade spoon, it is just the money for a cup of tea. The eighth princess casually took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver, threw it into the hands of Miyu, and pulled up the nine princes to leave.

Seeing this, the Seventh Emperor was quite displeased, and said in a strange manner, "Eighth Emperor Sister is in a hurry to go back and please her father?" Don't wait for the seventh brother to return to the palace together? ”

The eighth princess seemed to remember that the Seventh Prince was also there at this time, and said with a light smile, "The Seventh Emperor Brother is joking, this princess just thinks this pastry is special, and wants to go back to share it with her father, queen and mother as soon as possible." The Seventh Emperor Brother should also pack a piece and go back to honor his mother, right? Each person can only pack a piece, the imperial sister I am just afraid that the seven emperor brothers will be embarrassed, I don't know how this piece of pastry should be honored to the father and the queen mother, so I want to do my filial piety for the seven emperor brothers, and send it to my father first. ”

The Seventh Prince was speechless, he also thought that this pastry was delicious, but he didn't think about packing a piece to honor anyone. Seeing that the eighth princess said this, she had no choice but to turn her head and tell Miyu to pack another piece of pastry.

Everyone saw that the mysterious prince had already left, and although they were still unsatisfied, they could only disperse one after another.

There are not many lots today, and those who buy them are very happy, and those who don't buy them are not depressed, but because they can see the mysterious child, those daughters are all excited like sparrows on spring branches.

Some clever young ladies had already sent their families to wait downstairs, and when they saw the Xuanji Gongzi getting into the carriage, they followed and found the Xuanji Gongzi's residence.

But he didn't expect that six "mysterious boys" wearing the same snow-white veils poured out of the stars in an instant, and the family members could only choose one to follow at will.

As everyone knows, the real mysterious boy took off his makeup in the room on the first floor where he could pick the stars, tied up his long hair, changed into the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and quietly left through the back door of the gallery.

This opening was very successful, but after the eighth princess returned to the palace, she couldn't make up two million taels of silver, so she had to turn to her mother, Shuguifei, for help.

After finding out what was going on, Concubine Shu was furious, locked up the eighth princess, and ventilated her father, so that Qin Shangshu and his subordinates viciously participated in the early dynasty.

Lord Yan was so wronged, he didn't do anything, and he didn't even know what was going on, so he sat at home, and the pot came from the sky.

On the second day, the prince went down to the morning court with a black face, so he asked people to go to the military camp and invite Yan Youhong to return home. After Yan Chanyi got off the class of Guozijian, as soon as he returned to King Yan's Mansion, he was also invited by the porter to the ancestral hall of King Yan's Mansion.

As soon as Yan Zenyi passed, he saw his brother shirtless, and the red marks on his back were whipped by his father with a rattan.

"Daddy!" Yan Chanyi looked at his brother's straight appearance that even though he was in pain, he still knelt straight, and whispered to Fengyue beside him, "Go to Shaohuayuan and invite my mother over!" And go and ask my cousin to come over too! ”

"Dad, what did my brother do wrong? To do this to him? Yan Zenyi naturally knew that her father must have been angry early, and there would be such a result, so Su Ruoshui informed her after the opening that day.

It's just that she didn't expect her father to beat her brother like this, Yan Zenyi knelt beside Yan Youhong while crying, seeing that the rattan in Yan Duhuan's hand had not been put down, she hurriedly pounced on her brother's back, while trying to protect her brother with her thin little body, and said loudly, "Daddy is not allowed to beat my brother anymore, you want to beat me!" ”

"It's time to hit you! If it weren't for you, the first genius of the Great Zhou, would the eighth princess go crazy and go to Concubine Shu to ask for silver? If the eighth princess doesn't ask for silver, will Qin Shangshu participate in this king's copy? If it weren't for Qin Shangshu's participation in this king's book, this king wouldn't know that he had given birth to such a good son, and he would have let the mighty and brave Yan family army go to open up the wasteland and farm! Yan Wanhuan was very angry, he said as he looked at the little daughter holding his son, and the rattan in his hand was raised high, but he couldn't wave it down.

"What's so bad about cultivating land? This idea of cultivating the wasteland is mine, it's none of my brother's business, my father will beat me if he wants to! Yan Zenyi's neck stalked, and when he heard that his father no longer called himself me but called himself the king, he didn't call his father and called his father directly.

She raised her eyes and looked at Yan Wanhuan steadily, her eyes full of stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat.

"How can our Yanjia army, which protects the family and defends the country, be used to open up wasteland and farm land? Isn't this a knife used to kill chickens? Seeing his daughter's angry appearance, he suddenly remembered the appearance of his princess when she had to marry him, a fourth-grade general, who was obviously delicate but strong, and her daughter kneeling in front of her like this is the same.

The rattan in his hand tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally put it down.

"Isn't cultivating land to protect the family and defend the country? Now that the people's taxes are so heavy, our soldiers have hands and feet, if they can be self-sufficient, isn't it another way to protect the people? If there is a surplus of food, and in the event of a natural disaster or something, it can still help the people, isn't this also to protect the family and defend the country? ”

"Zen said it well!" Su Manshu's voice came in from outside the ancestral hall, and the voice was unsteady with the breath of hurrying, and when she entered the door, she saw her two children kneeling on the ground, and her eyes immediately turned red, and she glared angrily and said happily, "You'er Zen get up!" This Yan Wangfu can't afford to support our mother anyway, so I'll take you back to your grandfather's house! The good intentions of the province in this piece are treated as donkey liver and lungs! Let him sell all his underwear and raise someone else! ”

Yan Wanhuan was already speechless by Yan Zenyi, and as soon as her princess rushed in to grab the white, she was suddenly a little at a loss.

I had to quickly let go of the rattan in my hand, grabbed Su Manshu's hand and said, "Lady, lady!" That's not what a husband means! The husband just thinks that letting the soldiers go to farming is really overkill! ”

"Daddy, what is overkill? Were these soldiers born soldiers? Most of them were also the sons of farmers, and if it weren't for the war, they would probably spend their entire lives in the fields. Is it easy to go from a farmer to a soldier, but is it difficult to go from a soldier to a farmer? Yan Chanyi didn't get up because of her mother's words, but she still let go of the hand holding her brother.
