Chapter Seventy-Seven: Private Money Is Used to Run
"Father! It's them, they unite to frame me! Father is the master for me! After speaking, he bowed his head and sobbed with a handkerchief. doesn't look like the shrew just now, and will think how much she has been wronged, but the facts are in front of him, and the emperor can't do anything if he wants to cover up.
"Princess! Where did the momentum go just now, didn't you say that you alone had the final say in the entire capital? Your princess is the king, didn't you still say that you would tear down my hot pot city? What am I waiting? ”
"Nangong misses the past! You're enough, don't be unforgiving.
"Presumptuous! A princess of Haoyue, you are too bold to act rashly, today people are open! You're here specifically to cause trouble, aren't you? Ming Haotian couldn't listen to it anymore, and suddenly became angry.
"Father! No! It's them...... It's all Nangong Nianxi, she framed me? ”
"You have made a mistake, and you have not repented and blamed it on others, do you think I have not heard? You fanned the flames here at the beginning, and you also had to demolish other people's hot pot cities, who gave you the courage to show off your power here? ”
"Father! It's that Nangong Nianxi, shameless! It's not my fault that she framed me! You grew up watching Ziling, don't believe her nonsense! ”
"Nonsense! I believe what you said is nonsense, is what you said in front of me before all perfunctory? If you don't know what I've heard, I really can't believe that these words came from the mouth of a dignified princess of yours. ”
"Father! Ziling is wrong! Don't be angry! Ziling will change it and promise not to say such things again in the future. Ming Ziling saw that the emperor was resolute, and his argument was unsuccessful, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake and solve the current situation. After returning to the palace, he was coquettish, pretending to pity his father and loving him so much, and the matter would pass. Then he asked for help with his eyes, but Gao Gonggong just made a helpless expression, indicating that the emperor was angry and it was useless to speak by himself.
"Wrong! I was wrong! My biggest mistake is to pet you! Nangong Nianxi understands the truth, but you don't understand a dignified princess, just like Nangong Nianxi said, the analogy between the common people and us, "Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat!" "I think a more appropriate metaphor is water and fish. The common people are the water, and I am the fish in the water. Fish are never separated from water. You look down on the common people so much, without the common people, how can you let me live? ”
Ming Haotian said the fish-water relationship of some rulers. Nangong Nianxi looked at the great truth he said, and admired him, he was worthy of being an imperial ruler with unique opinions.
"Father! Ziling really knew that she was wrong! I shouldn't have belittled ordinary people like that. After saying that, he still looked remorseful, wiping his tears.
"Wrong is wrong, Ziling! It's my father who dotes on you too much, and if he doesn't punish you, I'm sorry for my people, I'll punish you for three months, and I will think about it behind closed doors in the palace within three months! ”
When Ming Ziling heard that she didn't let herself come out and move around for three months, she suddenly sat down on the ground. looked at Nangong Nianxi fiercely, seriously full of resentment, I will not let you go. Nangong Nianxi has only listened to it for three months, in the end, it is the child he loves, if it were ordinary people, he would have been executed and said those rebellious words.
"Duan Wang Ye and Prince Ping are watching the princess act recklessly outside without stopping it, and he will be fined for three months!" Ming Haotian opened his mouth and scolded the two of them again.
The two didn't dare to raise their heads when they heard this, and responded: "What my father taught me is that it is our fault that we as elder brothers did not stop Ziling!" It will not be left unattended in the future. ”
Sima Nan said at this time: "Okay, okay!" The emperor's affairs are handled well, let's not let these juniors lose Yaxing, let the old ministers continue with you! ”
Ming Haotian was half angry at this time, and then accompanied by Sima Nan, he continued to enjoy the food.
Ming Ziling was also sent back to the palace accompanied by the maid. That's when everything was back to normal. Ming Haoduan and Ming Haoping took Liu Qianqian and Ji Yuexian to hurry back home after eating.
Nangong Nianxi, Lin Yifei and others worked hard for a day, and finally sent away the last batch of guests. Nangong Nianxi, Ming Haoxuan and Lin Yifei arrived at their room on the third floor.
"Alas! It's not easy to do anything, I can finally rest, I'm tired! Nangong Nianxi complained as he lay on the recliner without any image.
"Sister! If you're tired, Xuan'er won't be tired if you pinch it! Ming Haoxuan was like a kitten sticking to Nangong Nian in the past, in fact, he also felt sorry for her, he was busy for a day, and Ming Ziling made a fuss, and he admired her for being smart and witty, and she could take charge of things alone. Gently pinched, heavy afraid that she would hurt, light afraid that she would not be able to relieve fatigue, really in the mouth for fear of melting, holding in the hand for fear of falling. Pinch it lightly.
Su Xiang looked at the prince's dog-legged dedication, and thought to himself: "Are all the people who have found a wife like the prince?" This is also too undignified, men are all three wives and four concubines, revolving around men, the prince is the opposite, and there is no more appearance and majesty of the prince. If you are looking for a wife, you must find someone who has the final say, and you will never be like the prince. Thinking of this, he secretly shook his head and felt sorry for him.
Lin Yifei watched the interaction between the two, and his heart was also moved, no matter how intelligent the prince is now, as long as he puts her first and keeps with her, then his love will always be hidden in his heart.
At this time, Mr. Hotpot City Manager walked in with the account book in his hand!
"Boss Lin! Miss Nangong! I am the bookkeeper and shopkeeper of the hot pot city, the old man is called Ding Lin, and the people call me Ding shopkeeper, I came to report today's income to the two bosses.
As soon as Nangong Nianxi heard the report on today's earnings, he suddenly came to his senses, got up from the chair and came to the table, and did not forget to drag Ming Haoxuan to sit down together. Eagerly asked, "How is it?" What do you think? What are the benefits today? ”
Lin Yifei looked at her eagerness, smiled and quipped: "Nian Xi!" As far as I know, you've made a lot of money in my Drunken Immortal Building, right? It doesn't seem like there's a shortage of money! Don't be in a hurry! ”
"Brother Lin! Don't laugh at me, I don't lack money now, it doesn't mean that I won't lack it in the future, I still have to earn my own dowry? ”
"Oh? Isn't the dowry to be prepared by the Prime Minister's Office? Why do you have to earn it yourself. Lin Yifei was puzzled.
"Oops! Brother Lin! You don't understand that the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and mine is my own private money! Nangong Nianxi explained.
"Sister! You marry into the palace! The money from the palace is given to you, what do you want to do with private money? Ming Haoxuan asked like a baby.
"Lord Wang! Didn't I say that your money is yours, I don't want it, and my private money is for running away? After Nangong Nianxi finished speaking, several people on the other side were stunned.
Lin Yifei heard the meaning of the words, the two of them had already expressed their intentions to each other, because the Nine Princes Ming Hao announced that he would marry into the Nine Princes' Mansion, and Nangong Nianxi did not refute it, indicating that good things would happen to the two soon. "While I'm happy for them, I'm still a little disappointed.
"Runaway...... Ming Haoxuan and Su Xiang asked suspiciously at the same time.
"Yes! What if I marry into the palace in the future, what should I do if the prince bullies me? If you quarrel, it's too embarrassing to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you have to run away, and you need money to run away, don't you? Nangong Nianxi said a lot of his own fallacies.
Su Xiang stroked his forehead and said, "Miss Nangong! Do you think that our prince is about to spoil you to the sky now, and will bully you? If you run away, we're going to suffer. ”
"Then I can't take care of it, I've run away by myself, can I still take care of you?" Nangong Nianxi said easily.
"Miss Nangong doesn't treat you like this, when the prince looks for us, where will we find you!" Su Xiang asked with a pitiful look.
"Where are you going to run? Let's talk about it then! ”
"No! Xuan'er doesn't allow her sister to run away! When the time comes, Xuan'er will run away with her sister! Sister wants to promise to take Xuan'er with her wherever she goes, okay? Ming Haoxuan was anxious and said secretly: "This little hedgehog is hiding this mind and wants to run away, right?" See how I punish you then. ”
"Alright, alright! I'm just casually saying, look at the two of you, as for being so surprised, making a fuss, I won't run away if you don't provoke me. ”
Shopkeeper Ding looked at a few people studying the problem of running away, and said in his heart: "In the end, it is a group of children, even such a big event as marriage can joke at will, fortunately, my son and daughter-in-law are sensible, if I am like them, I will not have a peaceful life." ”
Nangong Nianxi only looked up at Ding Lin at this time, still holding a thick account book and waiting for a report. Immediately stopped messing around and said, "Ding Bo! You're old, sit down and talk! It's all juniors who are ignorant, which makes you laugh. ”
"Where, where! Standing and talking back is our rule as a subordinate! Ding Lin replied respectfully.
"The rules are set by people, there is no such thing here, you are an elder, how can there be a reason for the elders to stand and the juniors to sit. Nangong Nianxi got up, pulled the chair over, and forced Ding Lin to sit down. Place the thick ledger in his hand on the table in front of him. Then he turned around and sat down again.
"Shopkeeper Ding! You must listen to your sister! My sister doesn't talk about those rules anywhere, so you can sit with confidence! Ming Haoxuan said with innocent eyes.
Ding Lin looked at Lin Yifei again and nodded at himself, so he was relieved. Xin said: "No matter how low Ming Haoxuan's intelligence is, it is also a good thing to have a knowledgeable person by his side." Don't be tricked into doing some bad things in the capital. The attitude changed, and I felt that the more the two looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and they would be diligent and conscientious in the future. ”
Lin Yifei opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Ding! Now, what about today's earnings? ”
At this time, Ding Lin heard Boss Lin ask about his business, he didn't dare to slack off, opened the thick account book on the table, and began to talk about the expenses of the day.
In the end, what Nangong Nianxi heard was that after removing today's costs and expenses, the net profit earned more than four hundred taels of silver.
Nangong Nianxi roughly calculated, four hundred taels, excluding the part of Brother Lin, he still has two hundred taels left, the first day of opening today, the profit will be higher, if you play one hundred taels a day, it will be three thousand taels a month, so didn't you send it? Nangong Nianxi thought of this, and felt a little proud in his heart.
