Chapter 157: Blackmail
Zhou Jingxuan replied very seriously, "Because Erchen has no money, he plans to change to a smaller place." “
"Bastard! Do I lack you to eat, or do I lack you to wear? I actually want to sell the palace? ”
Emperor Qinglong was so angry that he spun around a few times, and finally sat down on the dragon collapse.
Hum! What kind of prince is this? You want to sell your mansion? This is going to get out, where will I put this face?
The eunuch on the side was busy persuading Emperor Qinglong to dissipate his anger, and then looked at Zhou Jingxuan, "How can King Xi make such a joke with the emperor?" ”
Zhou Jingxuan replied seriously: "I'm not kidding! There is a lot of food and clothing in the palace, but I don't have any money! ”
Emperor Qinglong relieved his breath, "Hmph! Didn't I give a monthly order? ”
"Father, the son has only gotten this month's monthly allowance since he was a child, and it's not enough to even reward his subordinates, let alone buy something for the house, let alone spend his own pocket money. Erchen was helpless, so he made this decision.
Since the father said that the house should be disposed of by the son, the minister came to inform the father, and if there is a new place in the future, he will inform the father again. ”
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Qinglong got up, picked up a Nine Dragons Celadon Cup, and threw it at Zhou Jingxuan.
Zhou Jingxuan took it in his hand accurately, and there was a bit of playfulness in his eyes, "Father, this teacup is not an antiquity, it is an emperor's thing, no one dares to buy it, so let's leave it to my father for his own use." As he spoke, he threw it forward, and the teacup fell firmly where it had been.
The eunuch started a round on the side, "King Xi wants money, you can tell the emperor clearly, you don't need to do this." ”
Emperor Qinglong relieved himself and said, "Xiao Anzi, go to the treasury and pay a hundred taels of silver to this bastard!" ”
Zhou Jingxuan pouted unhappily: "Father, the emperor sent it to call Huazi?" ”
"And how much do you say you want?" Emperor Qinglong rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Not much." Zhou Jingxuan smiled, but his smile was a little weird in the eyes of Emperor Qinglong.
"The son-in-law only needs 10,000 taels of silver, and it is only regarded as the monthly money that the father compensates our brothers for more than ten years."
"Huh?" Emperor Qinglong glared at Zhou Jingxuan, and fire almost erupted from his eyes.
"Father is unwilling? If the father is unwilling, the minister will have to go back and sell the house. Zhou Jingxuan was about to go out.
Emperor Qinglong held his last breath and shouted at the door, "Xiao Anzi, go to the treasury to pay 10,000 taels of silver, and then let him go!" I don't want to see him again! ”
Zhou Jingxuan succeeded, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but his face was not obvious, he just lightly thanked him, and then retreated.
The chief manager, Gonggong Su, came up with a bad idea in order to appease Emperor Qinglong.
He asked people to prepare more than a dozen boxes with 10,000 taels of silver ingots, wanting to embarrass Zhou Jingxuan.
Who knew that Zhou Jingxuan looked at those boxes, and teased, "Father-in-law Su, you move them to me alone, and see how you move them to my house?" ”
Gonggong Su glanced at him with bad intentions, "The emperor rewarded King Xi, how dare the slaves and maids disobey?" Since King Xi dares to open his mouth, how can he not get it back? ”
"Okay, this king will go out and call a carriage, and let them wait at the palace gate." A hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of Zhou Jingxuan's mouth, "On the road, if anyone asks, I will tell them, lest the royal brothers misunderstand and think that this king is robbed." ”
Zhou Jingxuan said, pick up a box and leave, he has martial arts, and carrying a box is nothing.
Gonggong Su came back to his senses and hurriedly called out to him, "King Xi, wait a minute!" ”
Zhou Jingxuan turned around, "Father-in-law Su, can this carriage still drive here?" ”
"No, King Xi, the slave and maid were offended just now, and please atone for your sin!" Father-in-law Su's attitude suddenly became a lot more respectful.
"So, you're going to help me get the money?"
"King Xi misunderstood, and the slave maid asked someone to exchange these boxes for silver tickets." Father-in-law Su said, and asked someone to pick up the box on Zhou Jingxuan's shoulder.
Before those eunuchs stepped forward, Zhou Jingxuan threw the box, and the box smashed on the marble floor, almost smashing the ground out of a pit.
Zhou Jingxuan looked at him coldly, "Father-in-law Su, why did you change your mind again?" Do you want to resist the decree? ”
Father-in-law Su wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "It's the slave who is confused!" Please also ask King Xi not to publicize today's events! If this makes other princes do the same, it will be miserable! ”
"Oh? I see. Zhou Jingxuan pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Father-in-law, rest assured, this king will never tell today's matter." Besides, the other princes have money, so they won't give up this cheek! ”
Isn't it over like this earlier? Hum!
Zhou Jingxuan, who was carrying a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, walked out of the gate of the palace, and the smug smile was finally written on his face.
For these silver tickets, he already planned to take eight thousand taels to take care of Yunxuan Pavilion's business, and the remaining two thousand taels would buy a few ornaments for Xinyue, lest she be coaxed away by a sugar man.
Thinking of the shadow of Zhao Xinyue falling on the window paper last night, Zhou Jingxuan had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, which made his heart ripple.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he went to find Zhao Xinyue and asked her out to go shopping.
After lunch, the two sneaked out of the palace.
They decided to go to Zhao Youying first to report their safety.
When they got there, they found that the door of the Zhao family was closed, and it seemed that there were people in the house, but they didn't know what they were doing inside.
Zhao Xinyue and Zhou Jingxuan called the door for a long time, and Zhao Heming came to open the door.
When Zhou Jingxuan and Zhao Xinyue came in, they found that their family was sitting on the edge of the square table, and there was nothing on the table.
In this regard, Zhao Youying explained, "We are drinking tea, and you are here." ”
Seeing that Zhao Qingxiang was not there, Zhou Jingxuan stood for a while and pulled Zhao Xinyue away.
He took Zhao Xinyue to the largest silver building in the capital, and was full of pride, "Just pick what you like and buy it, I'll pay!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Xinyue directly called the guy and asked him to bring the best noodles in their store.
The guy hurriedly went to fetch three sets of headdresses.
"How much?" Zhao Xinyue didn't take the headdress, but just asked the price.
"It's not expensive," replied the fellow swiftly, "the jewel-encrusted set is only eight thousand taels of silver, and the pearl-encrusted one is seven thousand six hundred taels of silver!" ……。 ”
Zhao Xinyue looked at Zhou Jingxuan and smiled treacherously, "Husband, pay the money?" ”
"Eight thousand?" Zhou Jingxuan was surprised when he heard this, I thought that I could get it for two thousand taels at most, but who knew that the things in it were so expensive?
It's really a loser, in the face of such an expensive thing, I don't know how to refuse, I really think that the silver is blown by the wind?
"Lady!" Zhou Jingxuan pulled her aside and smiled, "You are so beautiful, I don't think you need to dress up anymore." ”
"You said you were going to buy me jewelry! Can't even give up this bit of silver? Zhao Xinyue's face was full of displeasure.
Zhou Jingxuan smiled and explained, "No, I'm afraid that you are a girl, you are too beautiful, and you will be abducted by others." ”
"Then how about I wear it after marriage?" Zhao Xinyue took a step forward.
