Chapter 173: Catching a son-in-law
"It's a pity that you didn't go to the list, this year's list of catching a son-in-law can be lively and interesting!"
"Every year, every year, every year, what is new?"
"Hey, this year is different! Didn't you see it, the bachelor of the Lian Guo Dynasty, for the sake of the champion, fought before he walked out of the palace gate! β
"Aren't those old men the most subtle? Why is it so open this time? Who is Champion Lang? Even the old pedants joined in. β
"Hey, I said Boss Qiao, you don't even know what the champion is called?" The soldiers in the uniforms of the guards in the capital opened their mouths in surprise, although they were martial arts, and they looked down on those scholars who were powerless, but if they didn't even pay attention to who was the champion, it would be too exaggerated.
"I don't know, do I know?" Qiao Mianzhi didn't raise her head, concentrating on practicing her newly learned boxing techniques.
"I know, I still have some friendship with you, it is Jiang Qingliu, the third son of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
Smack, Qiao Mianzhi punched crookedly, who?
Jiang Qingliu? That's not Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"You think it's amazing, right? Such a young champion, I haven't been out yet. The soldier was surprised, "I heard that he looks like a talent, and he is good at management, and many shops in Pingjing City are opened by him, no wonder even the scholars don't even want face in order to recruit him as a son-in-law." β
"And who ended up catching them?" Qiao Mianzhi felt that the expression on her face must be very exciting.
Although he has never said it, he knows Jiang Qingliu's true identity, if the person who snatched it knows that he has spent so much effort to snatch it back for his daughter, he is actually an internal servant, and he doesn't know how he will react.
Thinking of this, Qiao Mianzhi couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, "Come on, which one won in the end?" This son is going to congratulate him on the house! β
"Hey, this is where this year's excitement is, no one has grabbed the champion." Bing Wei said, "When the list was posted, everyone stretched their necks and waited for the champion, and they didn't come out of the Tianqian Hall at all. β
"Didn't come out?" Qiao Qiao Mianzhi was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly hung up, could it be that Your Majesty was angry and disposed of him?
"yes, it didn't come out! It is said that after the palace pilot list, His Majesty summoned the champion of Jinke alone, and asked him about state affairs in the Tianqian Palace, and the champion Lang answered like a stream, His Majesty was very pleased, and gave a seat in front of the palace, and then the more speculative the interview, the more speculative it was, and it was a long talk all night. Those who were waiting to catch the champion and go back to be a son-in-law didn't see anyone until it got dark! β
The more Bing Wei spoke, the more excited he became, "In my opinion, with His Majesty's love for this Golden Champion, it is not impossible to call him as a colt in the future." β
After Qiao Mianzhi listened to Bingwei's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and admired Tianling even more in his heart.
He was able to be the top student in high school, and he could still make His Majesty recognize his identity!
"That's it for today." Qiao Mianzhi accepted the gesture, "I also have some friendship with Jiang Qingliu, and now that he is the top student in high school, why do I have to go to congratulate him?" β
After that, he left the guards with a confused face and went straight to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
At this time, the threshold of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was about to be broken, and those who came to give gifts and inquire about marriage filled the living room.
Mrs. Xuanping Hou greeted with a stiff smile on her face, the mansion has been clean all these years, and few people have come to the door, but since the list, the daily guests in the mansion have not stopped, and she is so tired that she is now eager to send out all these happy people.
But she can't do this, Qingliu High School champion This is the supreme glory, these people are likely to become Qingliu's arms and assistants in the future, if she closes the door to thank the guests, she can't keep the careful eyes of the family, and then make a stumbling block for Qingliu in the court.
Qingliu has loved her like her own mother all these years, how can she bear to hold him back?
So I dressed up every day, and entertained the lady and lady who passed through the house very properly.
After Qiao Mianzhi arrived, he looked at the Xuanping Hou Mansion in the city, thought about it, avoided the gatehouse of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, went around the backyard wall from the gate, and then jumped up and climbed the wall in.
"Damn!" Qiao Mianzhi, who jumped in, looked at the things under her feet, and couldn't help but curse in disgust, "Are all the people in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion eating dry rice?" The yard is not cleaned! This shit is not swept here, is it ready to be kept for dinner! β
"Woohoo!" This is an old dog barking at Qiao Mianzhi from the other side.
"Your uncle, stop screaming!" Qiao Mianzhi glared fiercely at the dog that jumped over, "Still barking!" If you hadn't recognized you as the king of Pingxi just now, you would have been lying on the ground at this time! β
"Little sea pepper? How do you... Hahaha! Tianling saw Qiao Mianzhi's appearance clearly, couldn't help laughing, and then pinched his nose and stepped forward, "Don't enter the gate well, learn from the gentleman on the beam to climb over the wall, stupid, right?" β
"Who knows that the people in your house are useless, and they can't even clean up the shit." Qiao Mianzhi stretched out her foot in front of Tianling, "Hurry up and find me a pair of shoes to change, and smile!" I'll kick you if you laugh again! β
"Don't, don't!" Tianling is intimidated in seconds, the hero does not suffer immediate losses, and he is not Qiao Mianzhi's opponent in terms of kung fu.
"Go to the eldest son's courtyard to see if there are many shoes, and bring a pair over to change for Qiao Gongzi." The Heavenly Spirit commanded.
"Yes." The subordinates in the house answered.
"Wait, take Qiao Gongzi's pair down and wash it, and send it back to Yongdehou's Mansion." Heavenly Spirit said again.
After giving these orders, he turned to Qiao Mianzhi, "What are you looking for me?" β
"I heard that you are the top student in high school, and I am here to congratulate you." Qiao Mianzhi said,
Tianling looked at Qiao Mianzhi, who was sitting barefoot on the chair and looked a little funny, and held back his smile very hard, "Many... Thank you ahahahahaaaa Thank you for your kindness! β
"You're still laughing!" Qiao Mianzhi glared at Tianling fiercely, "Anyway, how did you do it?" β
"What and how?" Heavenly Spirit looked at Qiao Mianzhi.
"Tianling, how did you manage to get His Majesty to recognize your identity?" Qiao Mianzhi's eyes lit up and looked at Tianling.
"My son is talented, what else can I have?" Tianling raised his head proudly, "Also, from now on, there will be no more Tianling in the world, yes, only Jiang Qingliu, you know!" β
After Tian Ling said this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, after more than ten years, he could finally call back his name!
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, tell me quickly, how did you do it." Qiao Mianzhi urged.
"I really want to know?" Jiangqing Channel.
"Yes!" Qiao Mianzhi nodded without hesitation.
"Well, since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy." Jiang Qingliu beckoned to Qiao Mianzhi beside him, "Come over with your ears." β
Qiao Mianzhi tilted his head as he said, and Jiang Qingliu leaned close to his ear, "Sneaking to take the top prize, it's all up to your mouth to get rid of the crime, as long as you want, the dead horse will say that you will live." β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
"Okay, I won't tell you this, in the future, we will be colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty! Little sea pepper, please take care of it. Jiang Qingliu said with a smile.
"Isn't this official yet? Started to get nervous? Qiao Mianzhi said, suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Jiang Qingliu, "I don't know what official position Your Majesty will give you after the Qionglin banquet." β
"Ahh Qionglin Feast! Jiang Qingliu patted his head, "I still have to prepare the Qionglin banquet!" β
"If you go to someone, what else do you need to prepare?" Qiao Mianzhi was puzzled.
"Hey, although Your Majesty has recognized my identity and fame, the breath in my heart is choked there after all, this is not to let him lose his anger, all the food and drink at this Qionglin banquet belong to me." Jiang Qingliu sighed, "This kind of high-level banquet, what you eat is not a meal, it's gold!" β
"You have created such a big business, and you still can't come up with this?" Qiao Mianzhi said.
"Your Majesty has specially instructed that you are not allowed to spend the proceeds of your business." Jiangqing Channel.
"What then?" Qiao Mianzhi said.
"I can only borrow it." Jiang Qingliu said, "Do you have any private money?" Lend me some? β
"Well, I suddenly remembered. There are still some things to deal with in the Forbidden Army! Qiao Mianzhi avoided Jiang Qingliu's gaze, jumped up and ran out.
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· What to run? Don't want shoes? β
"Don't do it!"
Qiao Mianzhi ran barefoot fast!
Sure enough, talking about money hurts feelings, which is an eternal truth!
But fortunately, he can now finally have this identity in its entirety!
On the day of the palace test, he had a long talk with the emperor, and the emperor finally agreed to his bet, promising him that he would only have the identity of the third prince of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in the future.
"The future is terrifying, and this important task will be entrusted to you, even if you, as a heavenly spirit, will do the last thing for me. Oh, by the way, I will send someone to take over the business in your hand, and the expenses of the Qionglin banquet will not be accounted for, you can figure it out yourself. β
Jiang Qingliu was a little worried, and let him find a way to organize the Qionglin banquet by himself, this matter is really difficult to do!
The emperor took back the business in his hands, if he easily held the Qionglin banquet, wouldn't it be clear to tell the emperor that he had made false accounts during the time he was doing things for him? The loyal character before that collapsed!
Hey, I was greedy for hundreds of billions, and I didn't dare to spend a cent, this feeling was too embarrassing.
But if Qionglin Yan is smashed in his own hands, the problem will be even greater.
As for the borrowing money just mentioned, Jiang Qingliu was just teasing Qiao Mianzhi, otherwise the reputation of borrowing money from all over the world would spread, and he would not be able to mix it up in the court in the future.
Do you really do it yourself? Impossible!
Or, take advantage of the last opportunity to start another small business and earn a lot of money for the Qionglin Banquet?
The more Jiang Qingliu thought about it, the more feasible he felt.
"Come on, prepare the car, go to the dam in the west of the city!"
Because Jiang Qingliu had prepared earlier, when the emperor took away the business in his hands, the delivery was very fast, so at this time, the important managers of the dam in the west of the city had all been replaced by the emperor's people.
"Jiang Gongzi, the delivery has been completed, why are you here today?" The newly exchanged shopkeeper of Chengxi Bazi faced Jiang Qingliudao.
"I'll get some money with you." Tian Ling smiled at the shopkeeper.
"Jiang Gongzi, don't embarrass me, Your Majesty has already explained, after the delivery is completed, you will no longer have anything to do with these operations, and you will no longer be able to withdraw money from the account." The way of the shopkeeper.
"I don't embarrass you." Jiang Qingliu walked into the reception room of Chengxi Bazi familiarly, "It's not like I want to withdraw money from you for no reason, you can listen to me first." β
"Jiang Gongzi actually doesn't need to bother talking, the money will not be withdrawn to you." The shopkeeper was unmoved.
Jiang Qingliu was noncommittal to his words, but asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you are now not only in charge of the Chengxi Dam, but also in charge of Xiao Tiancha, right?" β
"Yes, Jiang Gongzi has a good memory, but it's almost useless for you to play with me." The shopkeeper replied.
"Are you running out of ice in the ice cellar?" Jiang Qingliu smiled and said, "I passed by Xiao Tiancha today, and I heard that many products in it are out of stock, and the reason is that the ice cubes are not in supply?" β
"What does Jiang Gongzi mean by this?" The shopkeeper frowned.
"You said that this has just taken over, and the profits on the books have plummeted, is it because the market is not good or the ability of the people who operate is limited?" Jiang Qingliu looked at the shopkeeper, "Or is it to fill his own pockets?" β
"You don't want to spew blood!" The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, anger hurts your body." Jiang Qingliu said with a smile, "Besides, I'm just hypothetical, as long as a normal person is a normal person, he will guess like this, right?" β
"The ice in the ice cellar is gone, which affects Xiao Tiancha's business, it's not that I'm greedy for ink, why am I afraid?" The shopkeeper said.
He said this, but the look on his face was a little shaken, this delivery, His Majesty handed over these operations to him, and he took a fancy to his loyalty and talent.
The profit on the book is less, what if he can prove that he is not greedy for ink? There is no greed for ink, and there is such a big input missing from the account, doesn't it show that he is not capable?
Jiang Qingliu looked at him, and added another fire, "I used to run these businesses, trembling every day like walking on thin ice, in addition to being afraid that I would live up to His Majesty's trust, I often thought that there are many talents in this world, if I don't do well, someone may take my place at any timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Jiang Gongzi just said that he won't withdraw money for no reason, so what is your return?" The way of the shopkeeper.
"A plan." Jiang Qingliu said, "You give me the money, I will give you a living money, and I will solve the danger of your ice cubes for you." β
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with hope, but he immediately shook his head in some pain, "No, even then. If His Majesty knew about it, he would be killed! β
"I've got a way to keep you safe." Jiangqing Channel.
"What's the method?" The way of the shopkeeper.
"Your Majesty only said that he would not let me withdraw money from his account, and he didn't say that he would not let me do business with you, right?" Jiang Qingliu took out a piece of paper and handed it to the shopkeeper, "You buy these things in the name of purchasing raw materials for making ice cubes, and hand over the money to me through trading." And when I get the money, I'll deliver the ice to you. β
"Didn't you say that you ran out of materials to make ice cubes and couldn't find them anymore?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened, "Are you hiding?" β
"How can it be said that it is hiding secrets?" Jiang Qingliu said, "Am I giving you the credit for making ice cubes?" The shopkeeper, you, after the delivery, looked at the dwindling ice cellar inventory anxiously, and finally according to the prescription left by the delivery, no matter what you searched, finally the emperor paid off, found the raw materials that could no longer be found, and continued the production of ice cubes. β
"How?" Jiang Qingliu looked at him with a smile, "Even if Your Majesty investigates, you can't blame it, because you don't know that those raw materials were bought from me, and you will only think that I am hiding private as you said." β
He was not afraid of the emperor to check at all, and when the emperor asked, he said that he had inadvertently omitted it, and originally wanted to send it to the newly appointed shopkeeper, but before he sent it to His Majesty, he let him organize the Qionglin banquet, so he made this decision, at that time, the emperor could not do anything to him whether he believed it or not.
"Good!" The shopkeeper eventually gave in.
Jiang Qingliu got the money and handed it over to his own people who were in the banquet business of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, "Do it well." β
