"You are in such a hurry to find the next place, is there a mistake in the previous news?" Xie Si took off his hat and knocked on the floating snow on it.

Zhao Chen stuffed the last piece of sauce meat into his mouth and poured tea for him.

"If the news wasn't right, there wouldn't have been such a big stir two days ago." She paused, "You didn't tell the clan what you found, did you?" ”

"Since you have instructed you to do this, how can you have more tongues below?" Xie Si smiled and took the teacup, "Besides, if the clan knows that that that a group of sinners are involved, you can't think about it, this quagmire, my Xie family is better away from it." ”

Zhao Chen shook his head and laughed: "You can see it, but it's a pity that the Xie family only treats you as an outlier, otherwise-"

"The road is chosen by oneself, and there is no regret or resentment in the next." Xie Si took a sip of hot tea, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, "As long as you can protect the prosperity of the clan, it doesn't hurt to be an outlier." ”

The Xie family has admired literature and avoided martial arts for generations, and has taken entering the dynasty to seek government as the foundation.

Although it seems to be becoming more and more prosperous, but under careful examination, it is still unstable, like duckweed on water.

With the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of power, which one can be sure that its favor will not fade?

Xie Si also saw through this, so he rebelled against the clan since he was a child, left Beijing and joined the army, and secretly formed forces in the rivers and lakes, in order to leave a way back for the Xie family, and a guarantee just in case-

"If a family wants to be strong, it still needs to be led by capable people." Zhao Chen couldn't help but persuade.

Without waiting for Xie Si to think about it, she changed the topic: "I came to you to discuss a deal with you." ”

Xie Si drank tea silently, thinking about her previous words while quietly waiting for her to continue.

"You can't eat this deal yourself, and the Xie family can't interfere, but I need you to pull the strings for me."

Xie Siyi was stunned: "What business?" Why can't my Xie family intervene? ”

"The Xie family has a lot of eyes and mouths, and they are all high-minded, I can't believe it." Zhao Chen said very directly.

Xie Si didn't refute, just smiled and asked, "You mean, you can be trusted?" ”

"In this lifeless capital, there are many people who know the current affairs, but there are few people who have the courage to make trouble." Zhao Chen chuckled a few times, "It's too early to say that I can trust you, it's better to say that I appreciate you-"

………

After a secret conversation, the two left the teahouse one after another, got into Xie Si's carriage together, and went straight to Miyagi.

Outside the Donghua Gate, Xie Siban lifted the car curtain, handed over the token, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liuzi is also a general now!" ”

The person who was called Xiaoliu grinned and said abruptly: "The fourth brother of the Xie family has not returned to the capital for a long time, I was sent by my family to guard this Donghua Gate the year before last, and I am not a general." ”

"Okay, there's a chance!" Xie Si took back the token and said with a smile: "Go back and give me a good voice for your old man!" ”

Xiao Liu waved his hand at the guard at the door, and then said, "Cheng, when you have time, let's have a good drink!" ”

The carriage was allowed to pass through the Donghua Gate, and Xie Si put away his smile as if he was a little stunned.

Zhao Chen, who was sitting in the car, asked with a smile: "The one just now belonged to the Lin family?" ”

"Yes, the sixth son of King Zhongshan, he grew up with me and others since he was a child." Xie Si smiled with a smile in his eyes and said, "When I left Beijing, he was just a hairy boy, this moment-"

He stopped and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "This kid fights for energy, and the strength of the fight knows how to use it in the right place." ”

Zhao Chen touched his chin thoughtfully, and didn't come back to his senses until the carriage stopped steadily.

"You go with the coachman first, and then go in to meet you." After Xie Si finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and walked with the palace people who came forward.

By the time Zhao Chen was led in from behind the hall, it was already half an hour later.

She couldn't help but look left and right curiously.

She has been to most of the places in the palace, and she is even more familiar with her eyes closed and will not get lost, only here, she has never been-

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." As soon as she entered the inner sanctum, she bowed her hands.

"Excuse me." The prince frowned on a rare face, looked at Xie Si again, and then asked lightly, "Why do you think of being lonely here?" ”

Xie Si took over: "I have something I want to talk to you about." He looked at the middle-aged scribe sitting alone in the middle of the hall.

"Uncle has something to say." The meaning of the prince's words is obvious, the scribe is not an outsider.

The two who got the signal sat down near the prince—

Zhao Chen asked with a smile: "Your Highness is interested in doing business?" ”

The prince's eyebrows tightened, and he just wanted to blurt out a refusal but saw the scribe bowing slightly, so he had to ask, "What business?" ”

"Brainless business." Zhao Chen said word by word with a smile.

"You should know that you don't care about these miscellaneous things." After waiting for a long time for the scribe's response, the prince directly refused coldly: "You better go to someone else to do this business!" ”

At this time, the scribe suddenly asked, "Can Prince Wu reveal a little more, what exactly is your business involved in?" ”

"Don't wear your head at the waist, splash the sky with wealth." Zhao Chen smiled happily, his eyes curved into a crescent moon.

The scribe was startled, reacted very quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Can you suppress it?" "This is to ask Xie Si, after all, this is his own family in the end.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enjoys the honor of the prince, what kind of wealth can't be suppressed?" Xie Si was not emotional, and said: "It depends on whether His Highness lacks this worldly thing." ”

"Uncle also said that Lone is the prince, and secular yellow and white things are not rare for Lone." The prince looked desireless.

"Your Highness doesn't like mundane things, but if you ask for immortals, you can't ask for someone to eat the money, haven't you yet-" Zhao Chen smiled brightly, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "This treasury can't be used by you, right?" ”

As soon as the prince wanted to say something, he was stopped by the scribe and invited aside, and muttered in a very low voice.

However, this distance is no different from shouting in Zhao Chen's ear.

She pricked up her ears and listened to a few words, and what the two of them said was not far from what she had found earlier—

I'm afraid that no one else can imagine that the dignified East Palace is already overstretched, and it is even more poor enough to sell New Year's gifts from all over the world!

And the prince, who is full of immortals, has no idea about this.

"Why didn't you talk to Gu before?" The prince's voice was full of unhappiness.

The scribe smiled bitterly: "Where do you care about this, your subordinates told you, and you probably won't take it to heart." ”

"But Gu has a regular amount of money every month, plus the festival gifts, New Year's gifts from all over the country, and the reward of my father-"

"I can't make ends meet, just the last time you went to Penglai, you spent nearly three years of income on your account."

"It's been years since I've been out of the door—"

"The Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing, you just spent a lot of money in March to ask for immortal talismans from the warlock of Youfang at the end of last year..."

The two of them asked and answered for a long time, and finally fell silent.

After another moment, the prince asked, "Then what kind of business do you suggest Gu and them do?" ”

"Whether it's daily expenses or asking immortals, we can't do without the world." The scribe sighed lightly, "Not to mention that you got that one back, we always have to make offerings—"

"But with Prince Wu's reputation, I'm afraid we can't believe it, and this matter depends on what your mother's family says." The scribe glanced at Xie Si vaguely, "You should remember that the queen mother has mentioned it many times, and this one is more reliable than the rest of the family. ”
