Chapter 702: No Gifts
When Zhuang Rou came back, he found that except for those attendants who were serving the little county king, there was not a single guard in the courtyard. After asking, I found out that he went out with someone again, and he was not wearing women's clothes.
said that he wanted to compare the beauties to the Qianmei Meeting, but except for the first day, he didn't go out at all.
In this case, don't pretend to be a woman at the beginning, so that there are always a lot of men who are interested in him at the door, and they can't get rid of them like flies, which will affect the work.
Zhuang Rou walked to the study in the house, spread out the pen, ink and paper, and began to look for clues in the intelligence.
And Chu Xia, who was complained by her, had already left the city in a low-key manner and came to Qingluwu.
There are not only his ships docked here, but also other ships of various sects that come to the Qianmei Society, the colorful flags are flying, the ships are gorgeous, and among them, the ship of the Nangong family of the King of Freedom is the largest and most gorgeous.
It's like a big goose huddled in the middle of a bunch of ducklings, and you can't even think of looking at their boat.
Chu Xia's carriage stopped at the dock where the Nangong family's big ship was located, Xiao Ran went over and handed over the post, and after the Nangong family's guards heard who was visiting, they hurriedly delivered the letter.
A moment later, a group of people on the boat escorted the two of them out of the boat.
One person is Nangong Xianyu, who did not go to the street to hook up with heroes, and the man beside her who was protected by people like the stars holding the moon, with a handsome face and a noble and elegant temperament between his gestures, looked like a noble son with a good character, and did not have the compelling spirit of a person who was half a superior.
Chu Xia looked at Nangong Luowen who got off the boat from behind the curtain of the car, and saw that he was really similar to the information transmitted in the capital, and it was said that he was kind and kind, and he was a person who only wanted the good of Nangong's family and did not like to fight for power and profit.
"If you want the family to live better, how can you not fight." He smiled and said to himself, his identity is the king of the imperial court, Nangong Luowen will be extremely arrogant if he comes out to act, where can he be the heir of the head of the Nangong family.
Chu Xia waited for his group to get off the deck, stood on the dock before ordering someone to lift the curtain, revealing a bright smile, hurriedly got off the carriage, and hurriedly said: "Nangong Gongzi, Miss Xianyu, you just send someone to report it, why do you get off the boat in person." ”
Nangong Luowen secretly looked at this famous King of Yinde County, and saw that he was really handsome, but he was just a gentleman's behavior, which made people pity this face.
He bowed his hand elegantly and said: "The King of Yinde County has come from afar, how can I neglect the King of the County." ”
"This king heard that you are too rich to be rich, and he is really red-eyed, and this time he happened to meet him, so he came over to fight the autumn breeze with a cheeky face. It's good to increase your knowledge, and when the king returns to Beijing, he will show off to those wastes. Chu Xia said happily, and he didn't need to be invited, so he quickly urged everyone to get on the boat.
He was anti-guest, and directly called Nangong Luowenge, and ordered food, "The capital is too far from the sea, and this seafood is only dry goods, which is simply unbearable." Brother Rowan must have a lot of seafood on his boat, right? Let's have a full seafood banquet today, Brother Luo Wen don't be stingy and hide good things. ”
Nangong Luowen smiled slightly, "The king of the county is a rare guest, how can I hide it privately, it's just some seafood, it's not worth much on our island, it's just a long way from the capital, so it looks precious." ”
"And on Liuli Island, the common people also eat this thing every day, and please don't dislike it."
Chu Xia said with great interest: "How can it be, enjoy with the people, this is the foundation of being an official." ”
The group got on the boat and quickly entered the first floor of the cabin, which was a gorgeous hall, although it was someone's territory, Chu Xia was still invited to sit on the main seat, and Nangong Luowen and Nangong Xianyu sat down.
The guards and maids of the Nangong family and the strategists were very dissatisfied when they saw that their sons and young ladies could only sit on the side seats, but they couldn't stand up and say this.
Seeing the appearance of Gongzi enduring humiliation, everyone's hearts were full of grief and anger, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
Although Nangong Luowen is the future heir of the Nangong family head, he is not the prince, nor has he been named the king of the county, not even a county duke.
After all, even if he owns an island, he is just a flat-headed citizen. The prince is still eating and drinking spicy food in the capital, and he has made trouble for them, and now he wants to marry the princess.
But Chu Xia is a county king, even if the title falls a few floors in a straight line, when he sits with Nangong Luowen, he has to sit on the right seat.
If it is another prince's mansion, except for the prince, as long as the son of the family does not cause trouble, he can earn some titles just by virtue of having a little ability in civil and military affairs.
If you can't be the king of the county, there are also official positions and titles such as idle generals or county men, so you don't have to deal with civilians among the powerful.
But the Xiaoyao royal family can't do it, they can only have a prince and a prince, and nothing else, even if they go ashore, they have to spend a lot of money to buy off officials, so they can come out for a few days, and they have to go to the yamen to report everywhere.
For the Nangong family and their supporters, this is a humiliation for people to look at inappropriately under house arrest.
Nangong Luowen didn't get annoyed at this time because he gave up his position, and still talked to Chu Xia with a pleasant face.
"The county king, please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to inform the people below, take out all the housekeeping skills today, and let the county king be dignified on the delicious glass island."
Chu Xia clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, then don't sit back now, let's talk about business." ”
Nangong Luowen and Xianyu raised their heads slightly, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward, let people serve tea and snacks, and then called down the idlers, and then he retreated to the door and closed the door.
This kind of thing that was calculated by the imperial court, and the two brothers and sisters of Nangong Luowen were also unwilling to let the clansmen see it. There are no idle people present, so it is easy to talk about the conditions.
There were only three of them in the room now, and everything was easy to talk about.
Chu Xia covered half of his face with a fan, and said mysteriously: "This king has good things to tell Brother Luo Wen about other than the princess here, but I can't let me run away from the capital for nothing, I heard that the Nangong family is rich and rivals the country, and the treasury is full of peerless treasures, and this king doesn't know the truth or falsehood of this rumor......"
Nangong Luowen's two brothers and sisters were stunned, they hadn't done anything yet, and a dignified county king actually asked for benefits directly.
After a moment of silence, Nangong Luowen said: "Coincidentally, I received some good goods not long ago, and the county king has a lot of knowledge, so I want to trouble the county king to taste it and see if it is a good product." ”
"Okay!" Chu Xia closed the fan and patted it, "But if this king has something he likes, Brother Luo Wen is willing to part with his love?" ”
Nangong Luowen said with a smile: "The county king said that it was a blessing for them if these things were favored by the county king." ”
Chu Xia smiled and took out an ugly purse into his arms, opened it and poured it upside down on the table, and two silver tickets of five taels fell out of it, plus a few pieces of broken silver and a dozen copper coins.
He looked at it, pressed a silver ticket of five taels with his fingers, pulled it back into his purse, and then raised his head and said sincerely: "This king is not a robber, how can he take things for nothing." When there is something you like, you will pay to buy it back, and you can't make Brother Rowan lose the capital. ”
Looking at the money on the table, the two Nangong Luowen brothers and sisters only felt twitching at the corners of their eyes, and they only had four words in their hearts about him, greed and shamelessness.
