Dong Qianmo was surprised: "What good things can I take care of you, fifth sister, don't make fun of me." ”

Dong Lianyue smiled with a row of teeth as white as jade, and said slyly: "Fourth sister, you are not honest, you are still pretending to be stupid to me at this time, didn't the fourth sister hear what the mother told the princess in the carriage?" ”

"It's just a matter of eight words, fifth sister, don't chase the wind and catch the shadows."

"What a chasing shadow!" Dong Lianyue said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't my mother say that the old lady is discussing with the Yuzhang Mansion about your relationship with the eldest prince, how can this be fake." ”

Dong Qianmo's face flushed, and he bowed his head and said: "This may be my mother's prevarication to the princess, and I can't make it accurate, if the Yuzhang Mansion really wants to choose a concubine for the prince, I'm afraid it will be a three-foot wave before it starts, how can it be as calm as it is now." ”

Dong Lianyue thought about it and felt that it made sense, "That's right, I heard that the God of Wealth is famous for his generosity, how can he be low-key in the matter of choosing a concubine." ”

"So, nine times out of ten, this thing is fake."

"Well, the fourth sister doesn't seem to be lost at all, aren't you curious about the God of Wealth who is less than twenty years old and has a reputation all over the country?"

"Legendary characters, it's good to hear about them, why do you have to see them with your own eyes."

"That's the same, his family has too much money, and the business is too big, if you really marry the fourth sister, just taking care of the accounts for his family will tire you to death." Dong Lianyue teased, "Forget it, don't go, I heard that the God of Wealth has a very strange temperament, and he is a first-class loyal and brave marquis of the Holy Lord, in case I see that the fourth sister is too beautiful, how can I swallow you in one bite." ”

Dong Qianmo was so angry that he poked her fingers twice, "You Nizi is going crazy again, I won't go crazy with you, I'm really tired this trip, I just want to go back to the room and fall down." ”

Dong Lianyue didn't let her go, and chased two or three corridors behind her, chattering endlessly about the legendary figure, the God of Wealth.

In fact, there is no need for Dong Lianyue to elaborate, about the God of Wealth, even the five-year-old children in the entire capital are singing ballads, "The gold of Yuwangfu, the remuneration of Tianyi Pavilion, the diagnosis of Yipintang, and the daughter of Taishifu", has already said the wealth of Yuzhang Palace.

In today's capital, as long as you walk into any teahouse and listen to the jokes of two or three storytellers, half of them are talking about the amazing deeds of the God of Wealth, and you will never get tired of it.

********

The name of the God of Wealth is Yuwen Mingchuan, and he is the son of Yuzhang Wangfu.

The old prince of Yuzhang is the eldest son of the first emperor, the eldest brother of the current saint, because of his leg disease, he moved to the south to recuperate in his early years, and only Yuwen Mingchuan is the master in the house.

In the long run, he has developed the unscrupulous and reckless temperament of this Yuwen Mingchuan. And no one cares about him, depending on how he makes a lot of trouble, others just laugh at it, just because as he makes more and more nonsense, the net worth and wealth in his name will increase. In this situation, others don't even have time to envy him, so how can they accuse him.

At the beginning, some people said behind their backs that the old prince of Yuzhang gave birth to a bad son, and actually bet the entire palace property before the gambling table, in case he lost that time, and was chased by the debt collector, where to put the face of Yuzhang Wangfu.

But the result was that Yuwen Mingchuan not only did not lose, but also turned over the book in two games and won the entire Changle gambling house of the casino owner. However, Yuwen Mingchuan did not ask for the gambling house, but just asked them to move to another street and continue to open. It turned out that his gamble of a lot of money was just because the sound of the dice shaking in the Changle Gambling House in the back street of the palace made him sleep.

Later, as Yuwen Mingchuan's business skills became more and more superb, Yuzhang Wangfu's family foundation became thicker and thicker, and gradually, no one would say that Yuwen Mingchuan did not follow the usual path.

If the road that Yuwen Mingchuan walked out of was paved with gold, then who cares if that road is in common sense or outside the etiquette.

His deeds were talked about by the people in the market, it is said that when Yuwen Mingchuan was ten years old, the old prince left him a palace, several other gardens, and some field shops, and the old prince never returned to the capital since then.

Eight years later, more than half of the money houses, pawnshops, dart boards, restaurants and green buildings in the capital have hung up the signboard with the word "Ming". Although no one has calculated it in detail, if it is said that the silver in the palace of Yuzhang is more than the two Western Wei treasury together, most of the people in the capital will not have any objections when they hear it.

In addition to doing business all over the country, Yuwen Mingchuan also has the skills to be as good as the leader of the Ouchi guard.

At the age of fifteen, he bravely escorted him on the hunting grounds, and a hard bow shook more than a dozen wolf-toothed arrows from assassins, and the emperor awarded him the title of first-class loyal and brave marquis. Although there is this title, people are still accustomed to calling him "Shizi Ye" or simply "God of Wealth".

However, there are also rumors that he is moody, perverse, and often unpredictable.

For example, the old prince went south alone, leaving behind dozens of young and beautiful concubines in the palace. At the beginning, Yuwen Mingchuan distributed silver and sent away a batch, but there were still more than a dozen people who neither wanted to return to their hometowns nor remarry, and still lived in the mansion.

Those concubines are all young, not a few years older than Yuwen Mingchuan, and it is unknown whether they have other thoughts when they see the wealth of the palace.

The old prince left the entire palace to Yuwen Mingchuan, referring not only to dead things such as houses and pavilions and antique ornaments, but also to the beauty of the house in spring is much more attractive than those vases. Moreover, in this dynasty, after the death of Lao Tzu, it is not uncommon for sons to inherit the custom of old women. Although the old prince is still alive, he will probably not return to Beijing again, and it is no different from dead.

At the beginning, Yuwen Mingchuan had no objections, leaving all the concubines who were unwilling to leave, and rebuilt a garden in the western suburbs for these people to live in, which was quite a bit of a golden house.

Many concubines secretly rejoiced, all day long, when the window was cloudy, the mirror appliqué yellow, looking forward to the first time to see themselves when the prince came to the garden, and then fell in love at first sight, and developed some talented and beautiful romances.

But I don't know if Yuwen Mingchuan's business is too busy to remember this, and he hasn't been to the garden once in two years. Many beauties can't sit still, and they're not in the mood to dress up.

After waiting for two years, the original twenty-two-year-old Miao Ling became twenty-four in a blink of an eye, who would want to waste it so much, after all, Israel served people, and the good times of women were only a few years, and they couldn't afford to delay. It's not some girls who haven't been out of the cabinet, they are all married women, and they have been widowed for too long, and they have worked very hard.

Guarding the garden is the pro-soldier guards arranged by Yuwen Mingchuan, most of them are young and upright guards, handsome or not, not to mention for the time being, just looking at the back of a masculine and majestic shore, it is enough for the group of women who can't see men all year round to be fascinated.

A concubine tried to seduce one, but found that it was very easy to use, and she knew the taste of the marrow, so she persuaded the guard to take her to elope.

The guard told her that elopement was not necessary, and the prince had left a message to everyone, and the women in the garden, whoever saw any of them could take it for themselves, and there was no need to ask him. It's just that the media must be married before they can be taken away from the garden.

When the concubine heard this, she woke up to the fact that the prince was not leaving them behind, but testing them in this way to see which of them could keep to the end and then leave those who were chaste.

This concubine suddenly regretted it greatly, she shouldn't have lost so quickly, since she planned to stay in Yuzhang Wangfu to get rich, why can't she endure hardship? What's more, there is nothing lacking here except men. How could she be so misguided, if she really wanted to go with a man, she would have left two years ago, and she wouldn't wait until now!

So she didn't mention the elopement again, and she didn't agree to let the guard carry the sedan chair to marry her, and asked the guard to keep it a secret.

This matter spread among the concubines, and everyone had a bottom in their hearts, all of them applied to the mirror, painted their eyebrows and lips, and planned to continue to wait, sooner or later the prince would come to the garden for a walk, and this is also his industry, isn't it?

Besides, he is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he has a strong blood, and he has not yet married a wife. It can be said that the time and place are favorable, and such a good prince does not fight, and he lives up to the flowers and moons given to them by God.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the people who did not wait for the prince to come to the world, but waited for the gift of the prince, which was a grass stage opera troupe. There are seven or eight people in the troupe who are handsome students, and everyone is a famous actor who sings in the capital.

With such a famous role, it would be very good if the general mansion could invite one to sing, who would have thought that the prince would invite eight of them, not to sing one or two plays, but to let the entire opera troupe live directly in the garden. According to the head of the troupe, as long as the people in the garden don't get tired of listening to it, they can continue singing without a time limit.

The prince is a big spender, bold and considerate. The concubines are more yearning for the prince, but far from water can't quench their thirst.

After listening to the three scenes, more than half of the concubines were shaken, attracted by the demeanor of the famous actors on the stage.

The prince is the moon in the sky, but you can't play it from afar. The play on the stage is the jade rabbit in his arms, which is both appreciable and playable. Almost every concubine hooked up with one, two, or even three or five plays, and staged all kinds of romantic affairs.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and when the situation in the garden reached the ears of the prince, he did not pay attention to it, and let those people mingle day and night.

A month later, the troupe picked up the post from Beppu and was about to leave the park.

Before leaving, the actors tried to take their women, but the women hesitated. In the garden they are the masters, and they are served, and when they leave the garden, they are ordinary women, and they may have to serve others in turn.

In the end, when the troupe left, except for a pregnant concubine with a burden, who followed one of the white and handsome singing Xiaosheng actors to leave the garden, the other concubines did not leave and continued to live their good lives.

But unexpectedly, this time their good days came to an end, and the pro-guards outside the garden rushed in, tied them with hemp rope, and led them directly to the barracks outside the city to fill the camp prostitutes.

They cried and died and did not do anything, and the leader of the pro-guard told them that the old prince of the south believed in Taoism, and he had already become a monk the year before last. Originally, according to the usual practice, the concubine he left behind should be counted as a surviving person, and a white silk martyred the prince before becoming a monk.

However, the prince has the virtue of a good life, and gave them three chances to find another way, the first time they were dismissed, the second time they were allowed to marry them, and the third time they acquiesced to follow the play.

Three times have passed, and the people who remain seem to be determined to follow the prince for a lifetime. The prince still couldn't bear to send Bai Aya to them, so he had to arrange a fourth way out, letting them go to the barracks outside the city for a few days, and if they found a good home, they could still leave on their own. Otherwise, you can also come back to the prince to ask for white silk.

Later, all of the more than a dozen concubines died in the barracks, and none of them survived.

Yuzhang Wangfu's prince's ruthless approach made many people who planned to marry him a little daunted, but the matchmaker who went to the palace to propose marriage in the past two years has never been broken, but few matchmakers can see him in person.

But I don't know what method the old lady of the Dong Mansion used, she actually directly explained Yuwen Mingchuan herself, made him nod, and agreed to take the time to see the daughter of the Dong Taishi family once.
