Chapter 414: Profiteers
So repeatedly, one lie after another, when the truth of the matter is revealed, in the face of the gossip flying outside, poking people's backs of cold sarcasm, can Shopkeeper Liu bear it?
Can Liu Yingxue afford it?
Simple words, listening to the shopkeeper Liu burst into tears.
For a while, he only felt that his eyes were gloomy, and the whole person retreated several steps uncontrollably, and happened to fall on Wen Qiyu, who happened to come in.
Seeing this, in a panic, Wen Qiyu didn't know why, he reached out to catch the person with a blank face, and then raised his eyes to look at the other two standing in front of him, as if he was a 'smart' person who didn't care about himself.
"What's going on?" Wen Qiyu asked.
At the same time, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly drifted in from outside the door, rushing in from Wen Qiyu's side at a very fast speed, happily throwing himself into Qi Changrong's arms, and sobbing in a low voice.
Qi Changrong: "......"
Junchen: "......"
Although I don't understand why Shi Xia suddenly came out like this, it is exactly what Qi Changrong wanted.
After thinking about it, Qi Changrong stretched out his hand and patted Shi Xia on the shoulder comfortingly, and the intimacy was overflowing.
didn't faint, but the shopkeeper Liu, who had a headache for a while, opened his eyes and saw this scene, and for a while he only felt ashamed in his heart, and his old face was almost unbearable.
However, under the condemnation in his heart, the elderly shopkeeper Liu let out a long sigh, did not run away from his mistakes, but stood up and straightened his clothes, walked up to Shi Xia and solemnly bowed to her, and said to himself: "Little lady, offended." ”
Hearing this, Shi Xia knew that he was afraid that he had guessed correctly.
Because of the snatching of hydrangea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was almost pulled over and became a son-in-law.
Presumably, at the critical moment, His Royal Highness pulled her out again as a shield.
Therefore, when Shopkeeper Liu personally apologized to her, Shi Xia showed two points of surprise on his face, and then quickly returned to normal, but he couldn't help but ask: "What did Shopkeeper Liu say?" ”
In the face of Shi Xia's inquiry, the shopkeeper Liu did not evade the responsibility, but said with emotion: "The little lady has a deep relationship with this son, but I almost became the stick that beat the mandarin duck, which really makes me ashamed. ”
It takes a lifetime of luck to meet such a person in a lifetime.
He was lucky enough to meet a couple of lovers.
looked at the deep love between their husband and wife, but they couldn't help but think of their daughter who was still alone.
After a hundred years, he really doesn't know how his daughter's weak shoulders will support the burden of a large family, he really can't bear it.
Seeing this scene in front of him, the historian had already secretly put away his book, pretending to be an ordinary old man, standing beside him with a smile on his face, watching a group of young people messing around.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Liu was worried, and then looking at the appearance of the prince of the East Palace who coped with it with ease, he already had a little calculation in his heart.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu took a deep breath, and said to Qi Changrong who gave up on himself and had no choice but to say: "Since Your Excellency is already married, then the marriage contract between Your Excellency and the little girl will be stopped." ”
His daughter, who always lost a point or two of luck, could only watch Ruyi Langjun pass by her, and there was no fate.
Hearing this, Shi Xia, who could almost transform into a roundworm in Qi Changrong's abdomen, blinked, and asked as if ignorant: "When did the husband have a marriage contract with the girl of the Liu family?" ”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu realized that in fact, this lady had been out of the situation all along, and she didn't know what was going on.
He couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart again, and hurriedly explained the matter to her from beginning to end, and finally paused a little when he talked about whether he could borrow her husband temporarily, but he hoped that the little lady would be kind and kind.
But who knows, after learning the cause and effect, Shi Xia shook his head very firmly: "I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Liu is thinking badly, how can my beloved give it to others?" ”
No way.
If it was really Ruyu Langjun that she had a fancy for, whoever dared to come forward to grab it, she would dare to chop off someone's claws by Xie Yu.
Shi Xia raised his chin slightly, very arrogant.
After getting her answer, Shopkeeper Liu was completely dead.
It seems that this road really does not work.
However, what bothered him was that the guests had already drunk and rested in the inner courtyard, as the host, how would he tell everyone later, saying that the result of this hydrangea throwing was actually an oolong?
His daughter's face can't be saved at all.
"What can I do...... shopkeeper Liu paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself, so anxious that he was about to sweat.
"If it is the shopkeeper Liu who is willing to give up his wealth to eliminate the disaster, it is not impossible to do anything about Ling Ai."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have found the last straw, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and held on tightly: "What do you mean?" ”
"Seek the help of the officials."
When the sentence fell, the light in the eyes of the shopkeeper Liu dimmed again: "If you want the government to come forward to help, you must not only have a suitable reason, but also have strong enough connections." ”
But he ...... Nothing.
Since Tancheng was replaced with a new city lord, the city lord can be said to be unable to eat oil and salt, soft and hard, whether it is the Li family or the Liu family, they can't get half of the face in front of him.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Liu was at a loss, Qi Changrong suddenly smiled: "If Shopkeeper Liu wants to buy the City Lord of Xie Yu, if the method is appropriate, it is not impossible. ”
Suddenly, the flame of hope in the heart of the shopkeeper was rekindled: "Please also ask Your Excellency to guide me, I would like to offer a hundred years of gold to show gratitude." ”
One hundred taels of gold.
I have to say that rich people deal with things simply and decisively, and they are enviable, jealous and hateful.
A few pieces of gold and silver can be smashed down, and even if there is no road, a way can be smashed.
Qi Changrong was jealous of his real name.
Even if he is the prince of the East Palace, he doesn't have such sufficient confidence to reward people.
Sigh to sigh, envy to envy, and in the end, for the sake of the shopkeeper Liu's fatherly heart, Qi Changrong still said: "I don't know if the shopkeeper has ever heard of the monarch of the Great Jin?" ”
"It's nature." Shopkeeper Liu said: "In the eyes of us ordinary people, Junmen is the protector of the Great Jin Dynasty, invincible, but what did Your Excellency suddenly mention it?" ”
Qi Changrong smiled faintly: "Shopkeeper Liu might as well work Junmen, who would dare to persecute the people who Junmen wants to protect?" ”
The word Junmen completely stunned the shopkeeper Liu.
Although he was successful in business, he never thought that he would be able to have a relationship with that gentleman.
What this person said was nothing more than whimsical in his eyes.
After all, no one has ever heard of who Junmen will waste time on.
"Your Excellency, aren't you kidding again?" Shopkeeper Liu frowned, and said entangledly: "Don't say whether the power of the Junmen will protect the little girl, it is the fact that it is ...... Even if I squeeze my head, I won't be able to catch up with Junmen. ”
He's in Tancheng.
Junmen is in Shangjing.
Although the distance is not too far, Shopkeeper Liu is self-aware, and he can't get close to the Great General's Mansion.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I don't mean to joke, I just heard that the current head of the Junmen family is soft-hearted and cares about the soldiers at the border, if you make a fuss about this matter, don't say anything else, then the Junmen will definitely be able to see your goodness."
"Tancheng City Lord Xie Yu has a lot of connections with Junmen, Shopkeeper Liu can come to the door to see him one day, if it can be done, the huge Junmen wants to shelter a little woman, and it will be easy."
……
After saying everything that should be said, the group avoided the crowd and walked out of Yingxue Pavilion through the back door.
As soon as he came out, Shi Xia, who was originally very close to Qi Changrong, immediately took a few steps behind quietly.
Seeing that the person who was originally walking in front suddenly came to him, the historian said blankly: "The little lady is not waiting for the son in front, what are you doing here?" ”
Shi Xia nuzzled his mouth, and said confidently: "You don't understand this, when the eldest son and the younger son discuss family and country affairs, how can I interfere?" ”
Suddenly, the historian stopped talking.
can get mixed up with today's status, although the historian is upright and dares to say and do, but he also has a few eyes, and he can naturally hear what the family and country affairs in Shi Xia's mouth are.
Just now, the noble prince of the East Palace actually instigated the merchants to bribe the famous Shengshi Junmen.
If His Majesty knows about this, I am afraid that there will be another scolding.
Thinking of this, the historian couldn't help but sigh, and after a few thoughts, he planned to turn a blind eye and just act as if he didn't know anything.
After all, in the future, his immediate boss will be the one in front.
The two who walked at the front.
Recalling the previous scene, Junchen was a little puzzled: "Why does Your Highness have to act under the banner of my monarch?" ”
"General," Qi Changrong said naturally: "You can't underestimate a merchant's family, I see that the cattle shopkeeper loves his daughter very much, if he is really willing, the army under your Junmen's command can at least add a new padded jacket for the winter." ”
"And in return, the monarch only needs to take a girl under his wing for protection, isn't this an extremely cost-effective business?"
Junchen said: "...... If His Highness is willing to come forward in person, the matter will be easier to solve. ”
"I can't." Qi Changrong spread his hands helplessly, and said distressedly: "As the prince of a country and a model of the royal family, I must not have any stains on my body, so I can't accept bribes from anyone." ”
In an instant, Junchen understood.
Because she couldn't collect money and didn't want to be a good person in vain, she weighed it several times before she sent herself out as a shield?
Junchen didn't know what to say.
He didn't know when Qi Changrong would become a profiteer.
As a superior, what they need to do may be only one sentence.
However, for Shopkeeper Liu, he has to go bankrupt in order to achieve his wishes...... No, there is a chance to get what you want.
"Does the general find it unbearable, or does he think my heart is too dark, or both?"
