Zhao Jingtang was bored, and when he heard Nanfeng's words, a carp jumped up from the soft couch, "Who did you say was coming?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lu. Brought a round melon. When Nan Feng saw the round melon in the hand of the shopkeeper Lu, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Pointing at him for a long time, I didn't say a complete sentence, I can't help it, it's too terrifying.

Round melon, he knows, the round melon was presented to the present day as a tribute, and the young master also got a little round melon because of the relationship between the master and the mother in the palace.

Later, the young master inquired a lot, and only then did he get some melon seedlings from foreign merchants, and wanted to plant them in Zhuangzi.

The idea was very good, but the result still failed, and after planting it several times, it was a result, and in the end the young master had to give up.

Shopkeeper Lu also knew about this and was also involved in it, so the question is, where did the round melon he brought come from? It can't be bought from a foreign merchant, this is a bit unrealistic, such a long distance from the outer region to Dachu, just like the one that was dedicated to the present day, is a long way, and less than a third is left in the end.

"What do you say, say it again?" Zhao Jingtang was surprised, his pupils dilated, and he was very suspicious of whether what Nanfeng said was true or false, round melon, what kind of joke, how could Shopkeeper Lu have a round melon, could it be that he was wrong.

"Shopkeeper Lu came with round melons, and he said that he brought a lot. Young master, why don't you let him tell you personally. Nanfeng felt that the current young master was not much different from himself just now, and he had an attitude of disbelief towards the round melon, and there were all kinds of doubts in his heart to solve, and only when he saw the shopkeeper Lu could he know the reason.

"Go, hurry up and bring someone in, I want to know the details." He tried to plant so many times, but he didn't succeed once, and where did Shopkeeper Lu get the round melon.

"Yes, young master." Nanfeng came and went like the wind, and after a while, he was followed by a person who came in with a round melon.

Zhao Jingtang looked at it, it was really the little old man in Longxian, and what he was holding in his hand was the round melon he had tasted, red meat, and it could be sweet to the bottom of his heart when he ate it in summer.

"The little one has seen the young master." Shopkeeper Lu stepped forward respectfully and saluted Zhao Jingtang.

"Don't be so polite, come and sit, Haosheng said." Zhao Jingtang waved his hand at the shopkeeper Lu, how could he care about any etiquette at this time, he was only curious about one thing now, that is, where did the round melon in his hand come from?

"Young Master Xie." Shopkeeper Lu straightened up and sat down next to Zhao Jingtang as he said, and put the round melon on the table.

"Young master, this is a round melon grown by Zhong Niangzi's family, and I brought 5,000 catties over this time." Shopkeeper Lu knew that Zhao Jingtang was curious, and directly told the person who planted the round melon, anyway, this young master also knew him, and he also spent a lot of money to buy recipes and recipes from her, and now Shiweixuan's business is even more crowded, and it will not be worse than that in the capital.

"Mrs. Zhong~~~ You're talking about her." Zhong Niangzi seemed to be a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered that it was the little woman. "Did she really grow it?" Zhao Jingtang couldn't believe it, was the shopkeeper Lu mistaken.

"It's true. They planted a lot, and the small ones were tasted, and they were sweeter than the round melons that came as tribute. If you don't believe it, young master, you can try it first. "It's understandable that the young master will be suspicious, after all, the young master has tasted it, and he has that right to speak.

"Nanfeng, take it down and cut it." Listen to others say that it is better to taste it yourself, so that you can really feel it.

"Yes, young master." Nan Fung walked into the room and took the round melon out of the table.

After Nanfeng took the round melon away, Zhao Jingtang sat and waited without saying a word, until he tasted the taste of the round melon, and then he really believed the words of the shopkeeper Lu, and the round melon was really planted by the Zhong couple.

I really didn't expect that he had failed so many times, and they succeeded only once, and I don't know how they planted it.

"Get me a few melons, I'm going to enter the palace." Such a good melon, he naturally wants to blackmail it today, this round melon is only in his hand.

"Yes, yes, I'll get the little one." Shopkeeper Lu listened to Zhao Jingtang's words and hurriedly walked out, he had already made preparations before he came, so there were a few more melons on the carriage.

asked people to pick the melon into the courtyard, Zhao Jingtang looked at the round melon about the same size in the burden, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage to enter the palace.

The round melons were not all brought into the palace by him, and he left a few for the house, how could his family not eat them.

Zhao Jingtang entered the palace with a few round melons, which naturally alarmed the present, and after knowing what he brought, he went straight to the residence of Concubine Ming.

When the time came, Concubine Ming took the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess to sit on the table and eat with a satisfied face, and after entering today, she looked at them directly with resentful eyes, and when she faced Zhao Jingtang, her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not her nose.

"There are good things that I don't know to inform me, but you still have me in your eyes." Today, he sat beside Concubine Ming unhappily and said with a straight face.

"Don't be angry, the emperor, how can the concubines eat alone, and keep them for you." Concubine Ming wiped her mouth and hands, and gently pulled the emperor's sleeve, with a little coquettishness.

"Really?" The emperor glanced at Concubine Ming.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor about them." Concubine Ming winked at her son and daughter.

Although the Seventh Prince is only seven years old, he is a child who grew up in the palace, he has more contact, his brain turns fast, and as soon as he receives the eyes of his mother, he immediately knows how to speak, "Father, I really left it for you, and handed it over to Gonggong Cao." You can summon Grandpa Cao in and talk back. "The father is really right, the mother didn't leave it to him for the first time when she had good things, and they couldn't be the first as sons and daughters.

"Cao De comes in." Now shouting towards the door, Cao De has been guarding the door, the voice of talking in the house is not light, he has already heard it, but he is not summoned inside, he can't go in by himself, that is called not understanding the rules.

At this time, when he heard Jinjin shouting himself, Gonggong Cao ran so fast, pushed open the door and respectfully came to Jinjin, "Your Majesty, what are you calling a slave for?" ”

"This, did the mother send it to the imperial study?" Today pointed to the round melon on the table that was red and bright, exuding a charming aroma.

"If you go back to the emperor, yes, the slave will accept it, I was originally going to say it, but you didn't give the slave a chance to speak just now." Father-in-law Cao has been following him for many years, some things can be said, some things can't be said, and his heart is clear.

"Alright, let's go down." It seems that he has wronged his concubine.

"Your Majesty, do you want this round melon? After this village, there is no such shop, and I don't have much, so if you want it as soon as possible. After Gonggong Cao went out, Zhao Jingtang opened his mouth to talk to the emperor about business.

"You kid just thinks about it, don't you?" Today, I was not angry enough to give Zhao Jingtang an eye knife.

"What do you mean by cheating you, I'll tell you the first time I got a good thing, and besides, I never worry about selling this thing. I can sell it all as soon as I get it. Do you want to give a sentence or not? "There are so many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, five thousand catties sounds like a lot, in fact, if you really want to divide it, it is not much at all, who makes a lot of people in each house, just the master has dozens of people, just four people and a round melon, how can a house also want that seventeen or eighteen, but only take such a little reality, of course it is not realistic.

"Yes, how can you not give me half of what you have." The last thing he lacks is silver, there are so many people in the palace, and the upper and lower points will be lost in a while.

"Your Majesty, you haven't even said how much you want to buy." Don't say a single piece of money, you have to take half of his melons at one time, which is too ruthless.

A total of only 5,000 catties, converted into more than 2,000 melons, half of which was taken away today, he himself didn't have much left, and his heart was too dark today.

"Money, money, money, I can still lose you." Today, he glared at Zhao Jingtang fiercely.

"I can't tell. You can give me a number. Zhao Jingtang didn't take the emperor's face seriously at all, and continued to step forward with a hippie smile.

"I think you're just not cleaning up." If it weren't for watching this stinky boy grow up, he would really want to smoke him.

"The price is clearly marked, I'm a businessman."

"I won't lose you. Cao De, give money. "Today, I called Gonggong Cao in again.

"Tang Shao, you can put it away." Gonggong Cao took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Zhao Jingtang.

Zhao Jingtang accepted the silver ticket, and ordered it in front of the emperor unceremoniously, there were ten silver tickets, each with a face value of 10,000 taels, and thanked the emperor happily while counting, "Thank you for the emperor's generosity." "If the emperor doesn't make a move, he will be happy, and he will turn over several heels and make money.

"If you take the money, get out of here, stay here and be an eyesore." Now I can't see his appearance of being obsessed with money, so I am worried that I will damage my children, and I don't see my son looking at the stinky boy with admiration.

"Yes, yes, I'll fuck off." Zhao Jingtang got the silver ticket, and he was happy, let him get out, and there was no second word. "Sister, I'll come to see you next time. Bring you goodies. ”

"Come, one for each person, this is given by my uncle, and I have taken it myself." Zhao Jingtang touched the heads of the two children respectively, took out two of the ten silver tickets, and handed one to each of the brothers and sisters.

"Thank you, uncle." The brother and sister said in unison, the speed of receiving the silver ticket was not slow at all, and it was put away in a blink of an eye.

Uncle is generous, every time he enters the palace, he will bring them good food and fun, and he will stuff money to them, the uncle said, you must have money when you go out, otherwise there will be no food, the two of them have always firmly remembered the words of the uncle, no matter where they go, they always carry silver on their bodies, even in the palace.

"Well, uncle will leave first, and I will come to see you next time." After talking to the two little ones for a while, I said goodbye to the emperor and my sister.
