233 Go to heaven
"Villain!" The prince slapped the table indignantly.
Seeing that the always gentle prince was really angry, Gonggong Cui asked tentatively on the side: "Your Highness, do you want someone to beat him?" ”
"He has the courage to calculate on the king's head, is it useful to beat?" The prince said angrily: "The person who hides the traitor is not credible, this kind of mouth honey-belly sword, even if he promises you in person, he may not make any small moves behind his back!" ”
Seeing this, Mr. Xiao asked at the right time: "Your Highness, where is Mrs. Hua?" ”
Gonggong Cui glared at him, "Do you really want His Highness to give that woman a house?" If you let others know, what will you say about His Royal Highness the Prince? That's a married woman! ”
Mr. Xiao was also silent, which was the biggest headache.
The prince said: "If she is sincere, let alone one house, what does it matter if it is ten sets of eight sets?" ”
"Master!" Grandpa Cui called out anxiously.
"It's okay!" The prince waved his hand, "This king is a dignified prince, and he is still afraid of some rumors?" ”
Mr. Xiao's eyes lit up, "So, Your Highness agreed to let Mrs. Hua talk to the Fan people for us?" ”
The prince nodded, "Gonggong Cui asked people to clean up the room in the guest house, and then pick them up, don't forget to go to the Kanglebo Mansion to say hello." ”
"Yes." Father-in-law Cui answered and went down to carry out the master's order.
The prince leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and asked Mr. Xiao, "After negotiating with the Fan people for so long, how much silver have we earned?" Is it enough to plug the deficit in the treasury? ”
Mr. Xiao shook his head, and later saw that the prince couldn't see his movements, so he hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, there are not many things we can use to trade with the Fan clan, not to mention that these Fanbang people have already traded a lot in the commercial houses in Nanzhou, and there are really not many things that can be favored by them!" In fact, his subordinates feel that His Royal Highness should ask the emperor to pay heavy taxes to merchants instead of doing such an easy business, and the deficit of the treasury can naturally be replenished, so why let you give up your reputation to do such a thing? ”
The crown prince snorted coldly, "Haven't you thought about being your father?" But those merchants who are really rich and rival the country do not have a backer standing behind them, and before the decree was put forward and implemented, the major backers have already heard the wind and complained, which made the father and emperor very annoying, and finally it was gone. Even if it is the forced taxation that suffers in the end, it is still the common people, if it is not for the visit of the Fan people this time, I am afraid that the deficit of the treasury will not be able to hide it. ”
Mr. Xiao sighed, "This treasury deficit is not caused by the emperor and His Royal Highness, last year there were disasters in many places, and the tax revenue could not be raised, but these various expenditures have not been reduced at all." ”
"They are all royal elders, and it's not easy to reduce anyone's use!" The crown prince sighed, "That's why my father handed over the matter of the Chamber of Commerce with the Fan people to this king, hoping to make the treasury more abundant." It's just that the Fanbang people who came from the sea this time are different from what they have seen before, not only do they look strange, but they can't even understand the language. This king is ready to be scolded by his father. ”
"Your Highness, when Madame Hua comes over, you will meet her first, and your subordinates feel that the Earl of Smith seems to prefer to talk to her. Also, we found Mrs. Hua, I wonder if Shopkeeper Xie will be dissatisfied? Mr. Xiao reminded.
"If he does his business honestly, if he dares to have two hearts, the king will settle the new account and the old account together!" The prince slapped the table heavily.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Hua Ronghua to do things for him, and the news of entering the East Palace soon spread from the East Palace attendant to the ears of Mrs. Kang Lebo.
For a while, the old lady even felt that her ears were hallucinating, and she stood up and couldn't help but ask again, "Who did you say His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to do things for him?" ”
The chamberlain bowed slightly, "Old lady Hui, she is the concubine of the third prince of your mansion, Hua's!" ”
"No," the old lady hugged Mama Qin, who was also full of surprise, "What can Fahrenheit do for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs manpower, the old body can ......"
"Old lady!" The chamberlain interrupted the old lady's words, "What Mrs. Hua helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do, few people in Beipeng can do it!" ”
"Huh?" The old lady was even more confused, when did this Fahrenheit have such a great ability? Or did she go where did she find the prince to support her?
The waiter glanced at the old lady meaningfully, I didn't know whether it was ridicule or appreciation, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hua is one of the very few people in our Beipeng who can speak!" ”
The old lady was stunned and glanced at Mama Qin beside her, but saw that she was also full of surprise, so she turned back and asked the waiter, "What this father-in-law said is Hua who came from Anping, uh......" The old lady was stuck for a while, she was always called Fahrenheit but I didn't know what her name was.
Mama Qin hurriedly reminded on the side, "Hua Ronghua! ”
"Uh, what this father-in-law is talking about is Hua Ronghua who came from Anping?" The old lady asked.
The waiter nodded, "It's this Mrs. Hua!" ”
The old lady was even more puzzled, "When will she speak?" ”
"This old lady should know better than the miscellaneous family. The words have been brought, and the miscellaneous family will go back to their lives first. The chamberlain bowed slightly and left the Conlebord Mansion.
Mama Qin sent the waiter back and saw the old lady sitting on the floor, her eyes straight, and she couldn't help but cry out worriedly.
The old lady came back to her senses and asked, "You say, is the person the little father-in-law talking about and the person we are looking for?" ”
"This, the slave maid thinks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not make people mistaken." Mama Qin glanced at her master and said cautiously: "Old lady, if Hua's really wants to do things for the prince, then I'm afraid we won't be able to find her back!" ”
"Humph!" The old lady snorted coldly, thought for a long time and said, "Why did you say that if you didn't pay attention, that woman was about to go to heaven?" ”
Mama Qin twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't dare to speak, who would have thought that Hua would be able to climb the crown prince!
The old lady suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly instructed Mama Qin: "What about the messenger over there in Achu?" Tell them that you must guard this mouth for me, and if you leak Hua's affairs to Achu, I will pick their skin! ”
Mama Qin asked puzzledly, "Old lady, why don't you let the third prince know?" "Wouldn't it be better to let the third prince go to the East Palace to ask for someone?
"Yi Achu's temper is uncertain, what kind of disaster will he cause!" The old lady hurriedly patted the collapse on the side, "Hurry up and call the messenger back to me, and I will personally go to the East Palace to ask to see the prince!" ”
Thinking of the reason why Gongxi Chu was expelled from Beijing at the beginning, Mama Qin's face also changed, and she hurriedly went down to spread the word. At the beginning, he was just going to beat the son of King Han and now Yong'anbo, but before he hit his body, he was put in prison and taken out of his official position, if the third prince hits the East Palace, Mama Qin can't help but tremble, I'm afraid that the entire Kanglebo Mansion will follow and play!
After the chamberlain returned to the East Palace to resume his life, the prince asked strangely: "So, Mrs. Kang Lebo doesn't know that Fahrenheit can speak?" ”
"I don't know, Mrs. Conleber's still asks the slave for confirmation."
Father-in-law Cui couldn't help but say: "This woman really has a problem, if she really knows such skills, why hide it?" ”
Mr. Xiao hurriedly said to the side when he saw the prince's suspicious face: "But Mrs. Hua's words are true, it is better for His Highness to meet someone first." ”
While he was talking, another little eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, Mrs. Hua has arrived." ”
The prince thought about it, said 'pass' and sat back at the back of the desk.
After a while, the little eunuch led a woman into the main hall. The first thing the prince noticed was Mrs. Hua's belly, and even the loosest clothes could not cover the huge belly. Although there are also pregnant concubines in the prince's palace, he has seen very few with his own eyes, especially Hua Ronghua's big belly.
Hua Ronghua stood in the hall, raised his eyes slightly, and saw a bright yellow figure sitting above, his appearance was not yet clear before he could see clearly, and he was scolded by Gonggong Cui on the side: "Bold, I don't kneel when I see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Kneel! Hua Ronghua frowned, this is the most annoying etiquette in ancient times, but kneel and kneel, who makes the family the prince! Looking to the side, Niu Ya had already knelt on the ground, bowed down and buried her head deep in the ground, and her posture was very respectful. She had no choice but to hold her back with one hand and slowly kneel down.
Seeing this, the prince hurriedly waved his hand, "That's it, you won't kneel in the future!" I couldn't help but look at her stomach worriedly, and there was always a feeling that the ball of meat would roll down at any time.
"Prince Xie." Hua Ronghua thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and had a good impression of the prince he had just met.
Father-in-law Cui opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince's attention was all on Mrs. Hua, he closed his mouth, and he looked down on this Mrs. Hua who didn't understand the rules.
"Ahem......" The prince took his eyes off Hua Ronghua's stomach, cleared his throat and said, "I heard that you can speak?" ”
Hua Ronghua raised his eyes, looked at the prince with a white face and a slight beard, and said with a smile: "This Mr. Xiao should know that if the prince doesn't believe it, I can also tell you." ”
After speaking, he said: "The crown prince, how are you." Looking at a few shocked faces, I can't help but feel a little proud, it seems that no matter when I have to have a skill!
The crown prince nodded, "Very good, as long as you can do this errand for this king, this king will never treat you badly!" ”
Hua Ronghua shook his head, "Prince, you're polite, we just take what we need." And I want to keep it a secret from the house! ”
"Confidentiality?" The prince was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
Grandpa Cui couldn't help it, and interjected on the side: "How honorable is it to get a royal reward?" Why do you have to hide it when you come here? Is it something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has rewarded that is unsightly? ”
"Uh...... No. A row of cold sweat fell on Hua Ronghua's forehead, this person was so good at buttoning his big hat, and hurriedly explained: "It's just that I'm afraid...... Uh, if you don't give me the silver directly, I'll buy it myself. After speaking, I saw that the prince, Grandpa Cui and Mr. Xiao all looked at themselves with disdain, and realized that they had said the wrong thing, too, they talked about the price first before they did the work, no wonder people looked down on themselves.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask, when will I help you translate? What is it mainly about? I'd better prepare in advance. Hua Ronghua thought to himself, let you see my ability and talk about remuneration before you think I am a lion.
Although the prince had heard Grandpa Cui and Mr. Xiao say that this Mrs. Hua loved money very much, and she would not leave the silver when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth, it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, and he only felt that she was more greedy for money than a businessman, and he was a little hesitant to use her to translate.
Hearing Hua Ronghua speak again, the prince stabilized his mind, and wanted to see her ability first, so it was not too late, so he said: "The translation you said is to tell the king the meaning of what the Fan people say?" ”
"Yes." Hua Ronghua nodded, "To be precise, the act of translating one language to express another language can make it no longer a barrier for people who don't understand the language to communicate." ”
The prince smiled, "Mrs. Hua talks like a master!" ”
Hua Ronghua also laughed, "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your compliment." "It's all good when you're praising me.
Not only Grandpa Cui, but even the corners of the prince's and Mr. Xiao's mouths twitched involuntarily.
"Okay, Grandpa Cui will take Mrs. Hua down to rest first. Don't worry about your family, this king has already carried a letter. ”
