Chapter 69: The money was squeezed dry by the prince

Mu Xiao was flattered: "Lord Wang, you are two years older than me." ”

"You are Yun'er's cousin, an elder, I should be called so." Gu Beirin said.

The corners of Mu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, he was not stupid, how could he not understand what Gu Beirin meant.

This man drank a whole vat of vinegar today, right?

He lowered his eyes, faintly worried, he and Yunzhu had almost made a marriage, it was difficult to ensure that Gu Beirin minded, or there was some misunderstanding.

Yan Wei entered the door at this time and reported: "Lord, when Your Majesty returned to the palace, although he lost his temper, he still sent a lot of things to the Yueguo Mansion. ”

Gu Beirin bowed slightly: "It's too late to react at this time, so do I have Jingwang Mansion?" ”

Yan Wei paused, and was embarrassed: "No, Your Majesty also scolded the prince a few words, saying that you deliberately fanned the flames." ”

"Tsk." Gu Beirin supported himself with one hand, his eyes disdainful, "Wrong again and again, Yue Guogong is completely disappointed in this young emperor." ”

Shen Yunzhu and Mu Xiao took a moment before they understood why Gu Beirin said this.

The reason why Luo Yingwan was not injured was because Shen Yunzhu, the princess of Jing, stepped forward.

But now, in order to beat Gu Beirin, Gu Cezhou only appeased the Yueguo Mansion, but excluded the Jingwang Mansion.

Yue Guogong and his wife are upright and strong, how can they bear Shen Yunzhu's grievances.

Mu Xiao looked at Gu Beirin with some shock, they were not a few years apart, they were just one day and one place, no wonder his cousin was moved.

My grandfather once said that the only person who could weigh the forces of all parties was the regent, and when he was there, the court was stable and balanced with each other.

Now he felt that King Jing was not much worse than the Prince Regent.

At this time, Shen Yunzhu had already changed his clothes and came to the flower hall.

Mu Xiao looked at her burns again, there were no blisters, and the redness and swelling had subsided a lot, and there were no traces of burns at this time.

He couldn't help but say, "Huh? How did it get better so quickly? ”

Shen Yunzhu explained: "Fang Cai just looks scary, and the scald cream I prepared is also a must. ”

Mu Xiao was not suspicious, nodded and was about to leave, after all, if he stayed for a while, Gu Beirin would hate him for a while.

Gu Beirin went to Beijing on a business trip before, and there was a backlog of official documents.

He was busy in the study for a long time, and when he finished processing the official documents, he found that it was dark, and his mind was empty for a moment, and he called another guard in.

"Go check on Song Ren." He instructed, "The point is to check if he had any dealings with Gu doctors five or six years ago. ”

The guard's name is Cheng Kai, and he is responsible for investigating and delivering news.

He said less than Yan Wei, answered yes, and immediately went to investigate the matter.

It was the time to eat, Gu Beirin went out, and he didn't see the maid setting the meal, nor did he see Shen Yunzhu.

His eyes sank and he asked, "What about the princess?" ”

It shouldn't be running back to Mufu, right?

Before the maid could answer, she saw Shen Yunzhu's master and servant coming back, and Bai Shao was still holding a food box in her hand.

Shen Yunzhu's eyebrows and eyes were bright, and he looked particularly gentle under the moonlight: "The prince is done?" I just made two bowls of noodles. ”

Bai Shao entered the side hall and set up the two bowls of noodles.

It is shredded pork and egg noodles, and it is served with a side dish.

After Gu Beirin sat down, he didn't rush to move his chopsticks.

Instead, he looked at Bai Shao and the others, and said coldly, "Is there no one in the palace?" Actually let the princess go to the kitchen to work? ”

Banxia and Bai Shao were startled and knelt down busily.

"I'm going there myself." Shen Yunzhu said busily.

"Your hand is still hurt, and they let you toss and don't persuade you, and you should be punished." Gu Beirin said.

Shen Yunzhu had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, this bowl of noodles was not made by me, I was just beside it...... Mentoring. ”

Gu Beirin was not surprised, but looked like he knew it well: "I have nothing to do, what do you ask of me?" ”

"It's my cousin's Zhong Gu incident, I suspect that this matter is related to Lord Song, so I want to ask the prince to help investigate." Shen Yunzhu said.

Gu Beirin didn't feel good in his heart.

If it weren't for her hand injury, I'm afraid she would really make a bowl of noodles for Mu Xiao.

"So, how much do you give?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

Shen Yunzhu was stunned, and quickly realized what he meant.

She immediately picked up the chopsticks and gave them to him.

Gu Beirin smiled: "A bowl of noodles? ”

"This is not an ordinary noodle, but the noodle made by the chef I supervised and instructed the chef throughout the process!" Shen Yunzhu said seriously, "Look, the prince sees, each noodle is the same thickness, and every bite is full of bite, it seems worthless, but it is actually worth a thousand gold." ”

"Well said." Gu Beirin sighed in admiration.

Shen Yunzhu thought he was going to agree, but he said again: "I originally wanted to charge you 10,000 taels, but because of this bowl of noodles, I will charge you 5,000 taels as appropriate." ”

The muscles at the corner of Shen Yunzhu's mouth twitched slightly, can't you not collect money?

Gu Beirin took the chopsticks and said, "Not happy?" You can go find someone else to look it up. ”

Shen Yunzhu pursed his lips, how can he find someone else to check, if he is not careful, he will leak the news.

She had no choice but to say: "But I only have three thousand taels, can I ......?"

"Then give three thousand taels first, and write an IOU of two thousand taels." Gu Beirin said.

......In the end, Shen Yunzhu could only write an IOU of two thousand taels.

She has a salary of three hundred taels a month, as well as the income from emollient, and she will definitely be able to repay this money quickly.

However, she underestimated Gu Beirin's treachery.

It costs 5,000 taels to check the person, and if you want to find the Gu doctor, you have to add money.

Shen Yunzhu was a little annoyed: "Lord Wang, aren't you a profiteer?" ”

Gu Beirin looked innocent, "Where is the profiteer, didn't I promise you at the beginning to help you find out if Song Ren did it." If you find the Gu doctor of the year, you will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

It was reasonable and well-founded, but Shen Yunzhu was powerless to refute it.

She wilted in an instant and asked, "Lord Wang, how much do you want this time." ”

"Ten thousand taels, I'll send that Gu doctor to you in three days." Gu Beirin assured.

"Ten thousand taels?!" Shen Yunzhu's heart is cold, she is paid so much a month, when will this be paid.

She was still hesitating, and Gu Beirin said again: "As far as I know, Song Hongzhe has begun to practice riding and archery diligently, if you don't want Mu Xiao to lose to him too ugly by then, it's better to help him solve the Gu as soon as possible." ”

Shen Yunzhu pursed his lips and said, "Lord Wang, you seem to be threatening me." ”

"Is there one?" Gu Beirin retorted, "If it's your business, I definitely don't care about helping you." But your cousin didn't join me, so why should I help for free? ”

He knew that the money she had saved was intended to be used to run away, and in order to make her leave the Jingwang Mansion so quickly, he could only make this decision.

Shen Yunzhu gritted his teeth, and could only write another IOU.

I used to think that Gu Beirin was different from herself, and she still had a little fantasy, but now it seems that she is different from others.

In just a few days, her piggy box was not only empty, but also heavily indebted.
