Chapter 151
On the carriage back to Beijing, Prince Yan kept chasing Su Nianjin to ask about the bell.
"Grandpa, if you want to ask me why the sound of the bell has changed, Nian Jin really doesn't know." Su Nianjin explained many times, "In the temples with strong incense in the south of Daxia, they use this special bell in order to let the pilgrims keep offering incense. It's just that they are more meticulous, and this matter is not known to the public! ”
"How did you know about such a confidential matter?" Prince Yan didn't suspect that Su Nianjin was lying, he was just too curious, "This king sees that you don't usually go to the temple to worship or anything..."
"Grandpa, have you forgotten that I am a mercenary businessman?" Su Nianjin sighed, "In the past, when I went to the south to buy for the Su family's firm, someone asked me to help them buy this kind of clock in Jiangcheng. (As mentioned earlier, Jiangcheng is next to Quzhou City)
"At the time, I wondered if this kind of bell was everywhere, it was so big and bulky, and it was very difficult to transport it to the south, and it was far better to have the local craftsmen make it." Su Nianjin explained, "But the buyer specified that he should buy it in a master's shop in Jiangcheng, and the price given was quite high. ”
"I see!" Prince Yan didn't expect that Su Nianjin was so young, but her knowledge was so broad. "However, it's amazing that you can get such a bell in such a short time!" Prince Yan said with heartfelt admiration.
"Godgrandpa, don't praise me," Su Nianjin said with some embarrassment, "I'm just lucky." ”
Although the winter vegetables were successfully pushed out without any noise because of the emperor's reasons, in case of encountering such things that had not happened before, it was impossible for him to find trouble with Qin Tianjian every time. Su Nianjin wanted to have a good relationship with the senior monks of the royal temple so that he could act well in the future.
For the royal temple that has fallen down, Su Nianjin is unwilling to take out the silver directly to repair it, she is not willing to take out so much silver.
So, she thought of this magical bell, and sent someone to find the master she had come into contact with to make such a bell, and wanted to buy one from him to attract pilgrims. Unexpectedly, the master still had a ding in his hand, so Su Nianjin asked him to transport it back to Beijing directly.
It was also a coincidence that when Su Nianjin wanted to come to the royal temple to congratulate Prince Yan on his birthday, he had just arrived in the capital when the bell rang. And so everything fell into place.
Su Nianjin smiled happily, since she recognized Prince Yan as her godfather, everything has gone smoothly, God is helping her, it's so good!
"That's right, godfather," Su Nianjin took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to Prince Yan, "This is the 500,000 taels I borrowed from you before, and now I will pay you back!" ”
"It's been less than a month and you've been back?" Prince Yan looked at the silver ticket, "Are you really short of silver?" "A few days after Prince Yan came to the royal temple, Su Nianjin wrote a letter to borrow silver from him for emergency relief, Prince Yan himself has a lot of money, so he borrowed it without thinking about it." Hey? How is it 600,000 taels here? ”
"I can't let my godfather borrow money for nothing!" Su Nianjin smiled, "The response of winter vegetables is much better than I expected, and I have made a lot of money, and the extra silver should be regarded as the interest paid by Nianjin." ”
"100,000 taels of interest a month? This is a loan shark! Prince Yan looked at Su Nianjin with concern, "Actually, even if you don't return this silver to this king, this king won't care!" ”
"Godgrandpa, just take it!" Su Nianjin stuffed the silver into Prince Yan's arms, "For me, who regards wealth as my life, these 500,000 taels are quite tempting to me." If you don't put it away, I'm really going to see the money! ”
"If you want it, why do you want to give it back to this king?" Prince Yan did not follow Su Nianjin's words, "This king is very rich, and this silver will be given to you by this king." ”
"Godgrandpa, you don't want Nian Jin to be untrustworthy, right?" Su Nianjin insisted on refusing to accept it, "I said that I borrowed it, so I have to pay it back to you." It's not difficult to borrow and repay! ”
"You're quite persistent in this regard," Prince Yan stared at Su Nianjin, feeling that she was a little ignorant of good people's hearts, "What a weirdo." "Su Nianjin is sincere to Prince Yan, so Prince Yan always wants to do something for Su Nianjin.
But Su Nianjin herself is very capable, and she almost doesn't need him, so she finally asked him to borrow money, but she didn't expect that it wouldn't take long to even repay the principal with interest. Even if she gave her the money for nothing, she didn't want it.
The two of them talked to each other, and even if the carriage was very bumpy, the two of them did not feel tired from the journey.
Just as the city gate was about to close, their carriage arrived in the capital.
"Prince Yan, it's getting late today, the emperor asked you to go back to the house to rest, you don't have to go into the palace to greet him." The little eunuch directly sent Prince Yan to the Yan Palace, and then returned to the palace to resume his life.
"Come into the house and sit? Let Fauber cook you something delicious! Prince Yan asked Su Nianjin.
"Okay." Su Nianjin immediately nodded and responded, today is Grandpa's birthday, she hopes that she can accompany him, at least during the meal. "Even if Grandpa Gan doesn't mention it, Nian Jin still wants to enter Prince Yan's Mansion to sit."
"You girl, come if you want, this is also your home!" Prince Yan laughed, and he already regarded Su Nianjin as his own relative in his heart.
The two happily prepared to enter the mansion, but saw Long Zeyan appearing from the dark with wine.
"Uncle Huang!" Long Zeyan smiled, "Miss Su is also here!" ”
When Su Nianjin saw Long Zeyan, she took a step back with some embarrassment, and subconsciously hid behind Prince Yan. It's really bad, why is the fourth prince here!
Prince Yan glanced at Su Nianjin and felt a little surprised in his heart, "Zeyan, why are you here?" ”
"I heard that Uncle Huang returned to Beijing today, Zeyan brought good wine over, and I want to have two drinks with you!" Long Zeyan was in a good mood, "Zeyan doesn't know that Uncle Huang has an appointment with Miss Su, does Uncle Huang mind if Uncle Huang joins you?" ”
Su Nianjin stood nervously behind Prince Yan, she hadn't figured out how to face Long Zeyan yet. Before, his actions were too out of bounds.
"Nianjin girl is just sending this king back to the house," Prince Yan turned back to Su Nianjin and said, "Girl, it's getting late, you go back to the house quickly!" It's rare that Zeyan brought wine over, and today this king wants to have a good drink with Zeyan..."
Su Nianjin was a little hesitant, she really wanted to accompany Prince Yan in her heart, but she didn't really want to face Long Zeyan, "That... Nian Jin took her leave! Su Nianjin thought twice and chose to leave.
Grandpa, I'm sorry, Nian Jin can't face the fourth prince now!
