Chapter 54: Crisis
After sending Mama Qian and the others away, the little maid brought hot water in.
Roman was about to wash up and rest, when Luo Tingchen came over with a lantern again. Roman put the pancreas back in the box, exited the clean room, and sat back on the soft couch.
There was no need to order, Zhou Hong consciously took Luo Tingchen's lantern and stood at the door and looked around vigilantly.
"Tired?" Seeing that his sister was lazy, Luo Tingchen stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "The situation on the two roads of Jinghu has changed, and the Qin mission will be set in the next two days, and the disaster area will be set at the end of the month at the latest." ”
Roman sat up: "Is the prince in trouble?" ”
"Two days ago, the prince was just trained. The area around Jinghu Lake is now full of the prince's forces. If the prince and his family go forward, they are afraid that they will be constrained everywhere and will not be able to resist the disaster. ”
The difficulties in the middle Roman knew that in the previous life, she had already experienced it herself.
"A while ago, King Qin thought that it must be the crown prince who went to relieve the disaster, although the prince said that he was preparing in secret, he also thought that it was more likely that the Asia-Pacific sub-family had passed in the past."
I was afraid that Roman wouldn't understand, so he specially explained: "Disaster relief is a great opportunity to earn prestige and win the hearts of the people." There is the overall planning of the imperial court, the support of the household department, and most of the princes around. In the past, they were able to easily provide disaster relief, and they also showed their ability to govern the country. ”
"Don't talk about the prince, and don't talk about the cause and effect. Let's just talk about what are the difficulties, what are we going to do? ”
Luo Tingchen looked at his childish sister, and couldn't say anything from his mouth. He never regretted it as much as he did now, hated that he never asked about family affairs, and put the entire family business in the hands of a slave.
"You tell the prince that before leaving, I will prepare 300,000 deniers of grain and 5 million taels of silver for him."
Roman thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that the mare's milk candy boiled in the palace has a very good flavor, you can ask the prince if you can reward me more, and I will want it tomorrow."
Let's put away the shop, and we should also invite the steward and the little two to have a meal, everyone is familiar with it. The elder brother went to the prince's side to experience, and it happened to be a happy event that should be a treat. Why don't you go to Yuhu Spring to set a few tables and do it together? ”
"The treat is the invitation, but the jade pot spring ......" The jade pot spring is not an ordinary restaurant, and the guests he receives are either rich or expensive. The guests who are born have to take out the golden waist card of the jade pot spring to enter.
Roman is in the name of Miss Xuanyi Bofu, and if he doesn't have a gold waist card, he can only follow others, and if he wants to enter, he has to spend some time.
"Aren't you holding your uncle's waist card?" Roman was surprised: "His gold waist card is not good, he can only use it himself?" ”
"Not really." Luo Tingchen smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xiao's waist card is gilded, and you can only bring ten people in at most." "We have one hundred and twenty-eight shops, and there are one hundred and twenty-eight shopkeepers alone. What's more, you still want to invite Xiao Er!
Roman pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the prince's waist card, how much can you bring in?" ”
"The prince still uses a waist card?" Luo Tingchen looked at his sister with a smile: "The prince took people there, it was to give them face." Naturally, you can bring as much as you want. ”
"Then my brother told the prince, I will have a treat in Yuhu Spring the day after tomorrow, at least two hundred people, and ask the prince to help me set the place. I heard that the horseshoe cake in the palace is good, so I asked the prince if he could reward more, and count it as adding a dish to us. ”
Luo Tingchen quickly tasted Roman's intentions, but he was still a little embarrassed: "The prince ......"
"If you tell the truth, the prince will agree." Roman stretched, his eyes a little too tired to move: "That's it, let's talk about it." ”
Seeing his sister tired like this, Luo Tingchen was very distressed. He wanted his sister to rest earlier, but he had to ask: "Our family only has 4,500 taels of silver in our account, Manman has promised so much, and the time is tight, what should I do if I can't take it out?"
There are countless lives in the middle, but there is no child's play. ”
"Brother, don't worry." Roman took the pillow as a pillow and slipped down lazily: "No matter how bad it is, there is still a little uncle to the bottom." He has food and money. ”
Luo Tingchen's heart settled down, thinking of the grievances between the prince and the Zhao family, and nodded decisively: "Yes, no matter what, I have to drag my little uncle into the water." ”
"You wash up and go to sleep." Roman was too tired to move, she didn't move lazily: "You go by yourself, I won't send you." ”
"Okay."
Luo Tingchen came out by himself, and told Zhou Hong: You must wash up and let Man Man sleep, otherwise you will be uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow.
The next day, after listening to the reply of the housekeeper, Roman went to see the three shopkeepers who had brought back yesterday. On the way, I listened to the lives and abilities of the three shopkeepers, and today I just had a closer look.
The three shopkeepers have all been packed up and are waiting in the outer courtyard.
He bowed, and without waiting for Roman to ask, he began to introduce himself in detail. The first to speak was a little old man who was five short and three thick, and he was full of kindness.
His surname is Wan, he is the son of the Zhao family, and he can walk and learn to do things by the old lady's side. Over the years, he has been managing more than a dozen grain stores for the Zhao family. In the grain business, he is very confident.
Then there is Chai Mao, who is strong and straight, with a pair of eyes always smiling, and a great Confucian bearing. Walking down the street, no one dares to think that he is a minion.
Ten years ago, he followed Zhao Erye to Bianjing, and he has been in charge of Zhao's pawnshop.
When he came, the Zhao family's pawnshop had no status in Bianjing. Within three years, it became a pawnshop leader.
Roman looked at the deep darkness hidden under his plain eyes, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled: "Since you are willing to come, don't live up to that ability." 'Soft Dang' is going to close the door, but it's your own signboard that will be smashed. ”
Chai Mao didn't expect Roman to react like this, he felt that even if he didn't worship it, he should at least show some value, but ......
In the end, we are all young ladies and gentlemen, and we have a good grasp of our bearing, insight and proportion towards people!
He looked at Roman's eyes with respect, and nodded respectfully: "Miss, don't worry." ”
Cha Hyun had a simple life, he had the face of a foreigner, and he was also a Goryeo himself. The youngest of the three, with the best skin, and a free and lively temperament.
When asked what he was capable of, he said, "Earn money, make lots and lots of money."
I can't do anything else in the shop, Miss will 'Treasure Pavilion'...... Uh, that's the name...... The young lady handed me the Treasure Pavilion and waited to count the money. ”
Roman smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Good! ”
The little uncle followed the shopkeeper she found, and Roman had nothing to worry about. She talked about the problems encountered by the shop, and she was going to take everyone to pick up the shop.
Just as he was about to leave, Gu Quan walked over and saluted: "I should go and see it too, Miss......"
Roman ignored him and helped Zhou Hong's hand into the carriage. Gu Quan didn't care either, and turned his head to Che Xian's car. They have been in the Zhao family for many years, and they are very familiar with each other. It didn't take long for several people to chat in the car.
The handover of the shop was very smooth, and several shopkeepers were veterans, and it didn't take long to pat Roman's chest: "The biggest thing is that there is no silver, Miss gives us 10,000 taels, and the three shops will be able to open their doors tomorrow." ”
Roman gave him a look, and Zhou Hong handed over the 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
Chai Mao smiled respectfully and took the silver ticket. Che Xian and Wan Dagui recognized Zhou Hong, and they both unconsciously looked at Roman several times.
Although the girl is only eleven years old, her vision and courage to do things are commendable. Although they didn't have crooked thoughts, they had to be cautious in front of the young lady in the future, just like by the side of the second master.
Gu Quan was full of shops, and he didn't even let go of the corner of the warehouse. Roman settled things and went out, leaving him alone.
In fact, she would love to get rid of him.
said that he was out of grace, but he didn't keep up with it, so it's no wonder.
Unexpectedly, Gu Quan, who was facing the account book, came up and walked out of the shop, he stopped in front of Roman with a solemn expression, and made a respectful gesture: "I want to talk to Miss next." ”
Roman raised his eyebrows: "Talking about the palace?" ”
Gu Quan was not surprised by Roman's acuity, and he didn't mind her defense. His solemn expression was more solemn, and he said respectfully: "Talk about the life experience below, talk about the adventures of the young lady, and talk about the future of the county king." ”
Roman's heart sank, she stood in front of the carriage, looked at him lightly for a while, and then left Zhou Hong in place and walked towards the moat embankment by herself.
Gu Quan understood and hurriedly followed.
There was no word all the way, until there was no one in the open area, and Roman's pace gradually slowed down.
"Pei Junjie's retribution was promoted by Miss."
Although Gu Quan's voice was low, his tone was very affirmative: "After that, Mama Pei's status in Wanzhaoyuan, the relationship between you and the Zhao family." It's all the young lady who is behind to give advice and help the trouble. ”
Roman continued to walk ahead, and a rose bloomed brightly on the side of the road, which Roman liked. She stopped, touched the petals, and smelled the flowers.
"It's true that the son is excellent, but with his ability, it is not possible to win the favor of the prince."
Seeing that Roman was concentrating on admiring the flowers, he refused to pay attention to him at all. Gu Quan knew that he hadn't been able to enter Roman's eyes, and his gentle tone was eager: "After Zhongling Temple begged for rain, King Hejun has been paying attention to Wanzhaoyuan. After the meeting, the prince began to prepare silver and grain in secret.
The reason for this is that the lady reminds in the middle. When everyone didn't expect that the two roads of Jinghu would become a disaster, and when everyone thought that the prince would go to disaster relief, you were sure that the prince would take this trip. In the end, it must be to go to disaster relief with the king of the county. ”
Roman glanced at him, his eyes were as confused as a mist, and he didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Miss!" Gu Quan was a little anxious, and rushed to block in front of Roman.
Roman frowned, turned his head and walked back.
Gu Quan wanted to pull her but didn't dare, and hurriedly retracted his outstretched hand: "Yesterday on Wangfu Street, you and the ugly girl attracted the attention of the street. But apart from a keen glance at my window, you didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
The eleven-year-old girl passed by six rouge gouache shops, five silk flower bead hairpin shops, three pastry shops, and four treasure shops...... You don't even look at it. The ugly girl next to you is two years older than you, and she can't even see a pair of eyes. ”
It turned out that there was a flaw here.
Knowing that he was not some psychic, Roman relaxed. It's just that you have to be more careful in the future.
When Roman was about to move forward, Gu Quan was a little more anxious: "You stayed in Liuhezhai for half a cup of tea, and came out with the sauce whitebait that King Hejun loved."
In such a short period of time, you can't choose. So, you know that the prince loves to eat his pickled fish.
You and the prince have only seen each other twice, so it's impossible to find out his dietary preferences. You grew up in the countryside, and you don't have the opportunity or connections to inquire about the prince.
You know that he will go to disaster relief, know his dietary preferences, know how to behave to win the king's eyes, and know that he is short of money and food......
So, do you also see through his future, and even know the direction of the entire dynasty? ”
Roman paused, turned his head and looked at him sharply: I took advantage of the convenience of rebirth, and only then did I know the prince's hobbies and privacy.
What about you? You, a scholar who relies on others to support you, how can you understand the prince's hobbies and trends so clearly? In my previous life, there was no such person as you around the prince.
