Chapter 282: The Zheng Clan's Purpose
Chengfu:
Cheng Ruoyun was wearing a robe, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Cheng family with the little servant behind him, he saw the carriage coming leisurely. Cheng Ruoyun recognized that it was the Bai family's carriage, but the person who came would definitely not be Shuangshuang. Since it's not Frost, it's obvious who is coming.
Cheng Ruoyun stood at the gate of the Cheng family, still with that gentle smile on his face, waiting for the people in the Bai family's carriage to come down.
Along the way, he also explained to Bai Mingzhu thousands of times, and he must not show his feet, and he must be calm. But Bai Mingzhu was still a little frightened, and when he got off the carriage, he saw Cheng Ruoyun, his body was even more trembling like sifting chaff, his eyes were all moving around, there was no way to place it, he lowered his head and followed behind Zheng.
Zheng was also taken aback. Maybe it was because of the bad intentions of coming this time, after seeing Cheng Ruoyun, his heart beat a few times. Panicked and embarrassed, he stepped forward and greeted Cheng Ruoyun.
"Cheng, Master Cheng, why are you, why are you standing here."
Cheng Ruoyun was still smiling, but his eyes looked up and down at the mother and daughter who came over, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am going out." ”
Zheng Shi turned around and really saw a carriage prepared in front of the door, and said with an embarrassed smile: "That's the case, but wouldn't it be inconvenient for Cheng Dagongzi to go out with a subordinate, otherwise I will let my coachman help Cheng Dagongzi drive first?" ”
Cheng Ruoyun said: "No need, checking the account book is not a big deal, my little servant can drive, and I don't have to bother Mrs. Bai." But Mrs. Bai came today, did she make an appointment with grandma? ”
Zheng nodded hurriedly and said, "I was going to visit yesterday, but I suddenly felt sick, so I hurriedly went back, isn't it, come to visit again today?" And I also brought some bird's nest ginseng supplements, but they are all precious things, so that the old lady can make up for them. ”
Cheng Ruoyun said politely: "Madam Bai is polite, these things are not lacking in Cheng Mansion." However, since it is Madame Bai's intentions, it naturally cannot be denied. Then thank you, Madame White. ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." As Zheng spoke, he pulled out the white pearl behind him and whispered, "Mingzhu, don't come to see the eldest prince yet." ”
Bai Mingzhu said tremblingly: "Cheng, Cheng Gongzi." ”
Cheng Ruoyun didn't seem to see the two of them so panicked, nodded with a smile, and said, "Miss Bai Er, don't be so polite. The second brother is resting in the room, and he may have been drinking again yesterday, so I don't know if he got up. The old lady is resting in the flower hall, so I'll go first. He nodded.
Zheng hurriedly turned to the side and said, "Okay, then don't disturb Master Cheng, Master Cheng will go slowly." ”
Cheng Ruoyun nodded to the two of them and walked towards his carriage.
got into the carriage, and the accompanying servant tilted his head and asked, "Eldest son, why did I look at the lady of the Bai family and the second lady of the Bai family, seeing you, like a thief." ”
Cheng Ruoyun smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, there are ghosts in my heart. ”
The little servant tilted his head outside the carriage, obviously not understanding, and asked, "Prince, where are we going?" Do you still go to the shop? ”
Cheng Ruoyun said: "Let's go to the prince's mansion." ”
"Okay, big boy."
In the prince's house
Li Yuanbo was leaning back in the chair, half on his side, looking at Cheng Ruoyun, who was sitting in front of him with a light smile.
At this time, Cheng Ruoyun suddenly came to visit, and he came secretly, which made Li Yuanbo a little surprised.
Li Yuanbo cleared his throat and said, "Master Cheng came here today for the frost matter." Cui Hulai told the king that dozens of carriages of phalaenopsis orchids suddenly entered the palace, filling the courtyard of the gorgeous concubine, presumably, this is the handiwork of Cheng Dagongzi, hundreds of pots of phalaenopsis, not to mention how difficult it is to collect, just this money is not a small amount. Everyone in the world has passed on the Cheng family as a businessman and has never done loss-making business, so Master Cheng is not afraid of breaking a precedent with you? ”
Cheng Ruoyun picked up the warm teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "The Cheng family has indeed never done loss-making business, and this incident, in my eyes, is not a loss." ”
Li Yuanbo's face was not very good, and said, "Is it for frost?" "It's because of the hoarfrost, so you don't think it's a loss? Such money is enough to buy a street shop at the foot of the imperial city, such a huge amount, but Cheng Ruoyun feels that he is not losing money. Li Yuanbo was naturally unhappy in his heart, but there was another reason why he was unhappy, that is, because this matter was indeed something that only Cheng Ruoyun could do.
Cheng Ruoyun smiled knowingly and said, "Indeed, it is a lot of investment for the merchants under my Cheng family to collect phalaenopsis at a high price and transport them into the imperial city overnight. However, in Cheng's eyes, frost is only one aspect. ”
"Oh, what other reason is there for Young Master Cheng to do this, is it because of this king?" Li Yuanbo hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Indeed." Cheng Ruoyun nodded, not denying it, he said: "Cheng, there is something to ask for." Compared with the life of the Cheng family, Cheng's contribution is already very worthwhile. ”
"Life?" Li Yuanbo narrowed his eyes, he didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Ruoyun's words.
Cheng Ruoyun didn't care at all, and continued: "Of course, it's not now, but later. Cheng Ruoyun raised his eyes and looked at Li Yuanbo squarely and said: "Cheng has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the court, let alone involving party disputes, but Cheng has somewhat guessed Concubine Huagui's intentions, and Cheng is afraid that the Cheng family will also be implicated in the near future." ”
Li Yuanbo was stunned, but then reacted, his eyes revealed appreciation, and his tone softened a lot, saying, "What does Master Cheng mean?" ”
"Cheng hopes that if the Cheng family is really implicated in the future, the prince will be able to raise his noble hand." Cheng Ruoyun lowered his head slightly and said.
Li Yuanbo thought for a while and said: "It's okay to raise your noble hand, but it depends on how involved your Cheng family is, besides, this matter is not something that this king can decide, everything depends on the emperor's intentions." ”
Cheng Ruoyun raised his head and said: "This Cheng naturally knows that at that time, as long as the prince can help, rest assured, Cheng's request will not be too much." Saying that, Cheng Ruoyun took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table with a smile, pushed it in front of Li Yuanbo with his index finger and said, "This, just as Cheng's gift, can also be used as a dowry for Shuangshuang." ”
Cheng Ruoyun didn't wait for Li Yuanbo to react, stood up, pulled the robe on his body, and said with a smile: "Then Lord Wang, Cheng will retire." ”
After that, Cheng Ruoyun turned around and left the courtyard, outside the courtyard, the little guy who was accompanying Cheng Ruoyun hurriedly stepped forward, put on a robe for Cheng Ruoyun, and walked towards the back door of the palace with Cheng Ruoyun.
