Chapter 30: To Each His Own Heart (1st Update)
Three Highnesses?
Wang Yushi immediately sat up straight.
Flashes of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt that he understood something.
When the day of the sacrifice to the sky, the third prince seemed to be very close to Su Guogong?
Su Ye's Royal Highness just now, probably the third prince?
It turns out that this Su Guogong has a close relationship with these three highnesses in private!
Thinking like this, Wang Yushi felt as if he had climbed a big tree.
"I didn't want to say it, but we're our own people after all."
"My own person" Su Jin waved his hand and stepped forward and lowered his voice, "So I also told the adults directly, it was His Highness who called me over just now, because he encountered a difficult thing!" ”
"Oh?" Although he didn't understand the connection between these two things, Wang Yushi still leaned in and listened.
"His Royal Highness recently opened a shop and wanted to get a lot of income. You also know that as a prince, there are some expenses, which are also indispensable. ”
"That's, that's." Wang Yushi echoed.
"This store is a plate, but now His Highness is short of money to decorate!"
"Huh?"
"Think about it, who can solve His Highness's urgent need, and who is not His Highness's benefactor?" Su Jin's tone was tempting, "I have already designed the decoration plan for His Royal Highness, but because I don't have any silver, I heard that Master Yushi's family has a lot of money......"
"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan understands!" Wang Yushi suddenly laughed, "Thank you Su Guogong for your advice." ”
"It's just one thing, let's discuss this matter today, but we must not talk to His Highness, otherwise His Highness will be too careful, thinking that we will look down on him and not have enough money. I don't care, I'm just afraid of you......"
"The lower officials understand, understand."
So, after a while, Wang Yushi, who was full of smiles, hummed a little song, took the decoration drawings out of the Guogong Mansion and returned to his home, and after a while, he hummed a song and entered the Three Princes' Mansion.
"Master, this net is really big." Peach brought a plate of dim sum and sighed, "Let's just make a shop, why is it so difficult?" ”
Holding the tea lid and peeling off the tea stem, Su Jin took a sip and smiled deeply.
"If you want to get your money back from others, how can you do it without using your brains?"
As soon as it got dark, Chen Guogong stepped on Su Jin's mansion.
"Su Gong, I don't know what to invite?"
Chen Tao walked into the room, still with a loud voice that day.
Su Jin, who was sitting under the lamp, closed the book, looked at the man who stepped in, and smiled slightly.
Following that day above the court and given the emperor a step, Chen Tao's status increased day by day, and his second son was also favored by His Majesty and transferred to the Hanlin Academy.
Obviously, while Chen Tao helped Su Jin that day, he also made a lot of profits.
"Ming people don't say secret words," Su Jin got straight to the point, "You helped me that day, and I will repay you today." ”
"Haha, what did Su Guogong say this?" Chen Guogong's eyes were like torches, and he came over with a smile, "Why don't you tell me in detail?" ”
"As far as I know, Chen Guogong has a disciple who is only eight years old and full of wealth, but he is suffering from lack of ambition, I don't know if you let your beloved disciple show his face directly in front of His Majesty, I think he will definitely be appreciated in the future."
The candle flame swayed slightly in the lantern, and Chen Tao's smile was also a little meaningful.
Sitting in this position, he has seen too many ups and downs, and he has long understood the truth that if you don't fight, you fight.
Therefore, he never formed a faction, nor did he care that he was just an empty position with no real power, and avoided the emperor's suspicion with the most peaceful humility.
However, above the court, the official situation is thin, and it is still too dangerous to speak without the help of his own people.
He had to plan for the future.
That's what he helped Su Jin to speak that day, he knew that it would be beneficial to him to do so.
And now—
His eyes flickered like candles.
The young master in front of him is afraid that he is not the brainless person he originally knew.
If you have a brain, you have a use value.
Sitting up straight, Chen Tao leaned forward.
"I want to hear about it."
※——※——※ ※——※——※
Today is Xiao Hai's monthly private visit.
said that it was a private visit to Weifu, in fact, basically everyone around His Majesty knew -
Your Majesty just wants to visit the Qinglou Chu Pavilion again today.
As usual, Xiao Hai was sitting in his luxurious carriage rubbing his hands excitedly, but the slowly moving carriage suddenly stopped, and then he heard the guards drink coldly.
"Who?"
Assassin?
Xiao Hai frowned, and before he could speak, he heard someone shouting outside.
"Grass people Meng Fan, there is a grievance!"
Xiao Hai's eyes sank and he lifted the curtain.
There was a young man kneeling on the ground in front of him, his head bowed, and his hands respectfully holding a volume of copywriting.
Seeing that Xiao Hai's face was not displeased, Zhou Yu immediately walked to the man's side and presented the roll of paper.
Xiao Hai took it and opened it, looking at it, his face suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty...... Master, this matter ......" Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, was also frightened.
The words on this piece of paper are extremely powerful and beautiful, and the words are reasonable, but the content of the writing makes him frightened.
The third prince actually colluded with Lord Yushi to conceal the fact that his nephew beat someone to death, and even accepted bribes to set up a shop!
Xiao Hai looked calm, only folded the paper, put it in his arms, and stretched out his hand to point at Meng Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, "You come with me." ”
In the morning, His Majesty brought a commoner into the palace for a secret talk, and in the afternoon, news reached the Three Princes' Mansion.
"What?" Xiao Nanhao raised his head in amazement, "Did you hear it right?" ”
"It's not wrong, this is from Gonggong Zhou, saying that His Royal Highness should prepare early, and someone has already started to investigate this matter."
"Bastard!" Xiao Nanhao threw the things in his hand, "It must be the ghost of that imperial history!" ”
A few days ago, Xiaoxiao came to the news that Su Jin wanted to sell the store, and he listened to it well, so he preemptively took the market.
He has always been thrifty, and even the money for the relationship was asked from Su Jin, but now that he has a shop, it is already a huge amount of money, for fear that his emperor father will be dissatisfied with him if he finds out.
He was worried about the silver here, and it happened that Wang Yushi asked him, and he came to the door with the silver, begging him to do something.
It's just a matter of killing a person, and he doesn't know how many such trivial things he has done.
So, he had the power, he had the money, and the two hit it off.
Who would have thought that this store had just been renovated and had not yet been able to use it, and something would happen here.
"Master, what should we do?"
"Go, hurry up and tell the housekeeper, the shop will be sold to me today!" Hurry up, you can do as much as you want, you can't put the title deed in our hands again...... Also, tell everyone to keep your mouth shut for me! ”
Xiao Nanhao thought about it and added.
"Especially that imperial history, before he speaks, think more about his family!"
"Yes!"
However, this shop posted a notice for a day, but no one cared.
The butler, who had been sitting in the hall for a day, couldn't sit still, and muttered in his heart.
Shouldn't it, with such a good location, how can there be no one?
"Old man, why do you have to sell such a good store?"
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone ask softly, as crisp as a yellow bird.
The butler immediately looked up.
In front of him stood two young girls, one shorter, dressed in crimson clothes and with sharp eyes;
The other was tall and dressed in blue, but he wore a long hat, which made his facial features look indistinct.
Originally, everyone in the world could judge the beauty and ugliness only when they saw the skin, but the housekeeper felt that even if he couldn't see the girl's face at the moment, he could know that she must be beautiful.
"Old man," the blue-clad girl spoke again, "may you hear me?" ”
"Yes, yes!" The housekeeper reflected, and immediately stretched out his hand to lead the girl in blue into the hall, "Miss wants to buy it?" Don't know what to call it? ”
"If you want to buy it, whatever." The girl didn't wait for him to invite, she stepped in with her skirt in her hand, looked inside and out of the store, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it's still decorated according to my drawing."
The housekeeper felt that this young lady's voice was a little familiar, but he racked his brains and didn't remember which young lady in the capital with a dusty temperament was surnamed "Sui".
At this moment, seeing her talking to herself so unceremoniously and mysteriously, I just felt weird.
"I wonder which lady you are? But buy this store for the man in the family? ”
"How?" Even through the hood, the butler sensed that the girl seemed to raise an eyebrow. "After knowing which family I am, can you still classify and reduce the money?"
"Naturally not, naturally not." The housekeeper was choked by her like this, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to speak again, "Our store has just been renovated, and it's not used yet, you see, how much do you think is appropriate?" ”
"How much do you want to sell, tell me?" The girl didn't reveal her bottom line, but turned back to him and asked, "I have to consider whether it's appropriate." ”
The butler took a breath.
"One thousand taels."
"It's too expensive!" The girl lifted her feet and walked away.
"We can discuss it again!" The housekeeper was in a hurry. Immediately go and stop it.
The master said that he would sell it within today, and it was not easy to get one, how could he let it go easily?
"Five hundred taels, then?"
"Gone, gone." The girl didn't stop.
"Oh girl, you're embarrassed for me." The housekeeper wanted to cry without tears, "How much do you want to give a price?" ”
The girl stretched out a hand and shook it in front of him.
"This number, is there too much?"
The butler stretched out his hand in a daze, and counted and counted.
He...... That's right?
