Chapter 219: Jiaqian Jushi, Ziguan Tao

"If there is anything wrong with my aunt, just send someone to bring a letter;"

"Why do you have to go through this yourself?"

"-If this spreads, I'm afraid everyone will say that I don't know how to respect my elders, and I can't be invited by my aunt before I become a prince······"

The moment he saw his aunt Liu Concubine, Liu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and carefully invited Liu Concubine into the palace;

From holding Liu Concubine with his arm and sitting down at the head of the East Seat, Liu Sheng smiled and sat down under Liu Concubine, looking at Liu Concubine with a respectful expression.

"Since my aunt is here in person, I think there must be something very important?"

Asked softly, Liu Sheng did not forget to sit up straight, his face was slightly straight, and he looked like he was listening.

But even such a gesture still made Liu Pengzu, the elder brother on the opposite side, see Liu Sheng's helplessness vaguely crossing between his eyebrows.

"Alas······"

"Aunt Guantao~"

"In the future, I will marry my daughter to Ah Sheng."

"By then, Ah Sheng ······"

"Tut-tut······"

looked at his younger brother Liu Sheng with sympathy, and secretly slandered him, Liu Pengzu finally had to take a breath, and then followed Liu Sheng's appearance and piled up a bright smile on his face.

- Liu Yan, not the two brothers now, can offend ······

It is even very likely that the two brothers have spent their entire lives and have never been able to offend······

"Hi~"

"It's all your own family, you don't have to be so polite~"

"-Shang Guanli to the Tai Palace, just these two steps, I can't get tired yet."

"It's also a rare opportunity to come back to this palace and see where His Majesty once lived······"

The inexplicable and friendly tone only made the hearts of Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu sink;

But when he saw Liu Yan saying this, he really put on a look of 'revisiting the old place', sighed and sighed, and looked at this side hall.

Regarding Liu Yan's sentence 'coming to the palace again', the two brothers have no doubt about him.

- Tianzi Qi, from being the crown prince at the age of eight to inheriting the throne at the age of thirty-one, he has been living in this palace for twenty-three years.

And Liu Concubine is the eldest sister of the Son of Heaven and the first mother of the Son of Heaven, and she is also the closest blood relative during the period of Prince Qi of Heaven.

As the only sister of Tianzi Qi, Liu Concubine is naturally very familiar with this palace.

But having said that, the two brothers didn't believe a word about Liu Yan's statement that 'I just came to see the palace'.

Because after a symbolic look around, Liu Yan's vaguely greedy gaze landed impartially outside the palace gate, on top of the cash boxes that had already filled the entire palace······

"The money alone has already filled the imperial womb······

"What about the gold?"

"—Is there a place to put the gold?"

With a little eagerness, Liu Yan looked left and right outside the palace gate, and did not forget to mutter: "Didn't you say that Xiao Jiu sold Taicang's grain and got tens of thousands of gold······

Hearing Liu Xuan's muttering, I watched Liu Xuan's anxiously stretched her neck, looking for the wooden boxes containing gold cakes in the courtyard, and Liu Pengzu, who was sitting alone opposite her aunt and nephew, only to suddenly sneer!

Almost at the moment when the laughter came out, Liu Pengzu hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and then hurriedly raised his head!

Seeing that Liu Concubine in the opposite seat didn't seem to be attracted by his sneer, Liu Pengzu breathed a sigh of relief;

Then he moved his playful gaze to his younger brother Liu Sheng, whose face was already a little cramped.

"Aunt Guantao, this is 'come prepared'······"

Liu Sheng didn't pay attention to his brother's banning gaze, and he didn't have time to take care of it at all.

Just looking at the aunt and future mother-in-law Liu Concubine who was anxiously looking for the 'prey' in front of him, Liu Sheng's smile became more and more stiff, and a little beads of sweat couldn't help but rise on his forehead······

"Auntie, aunt, why did you ask about this?"

"But the imperial grandmother was worried that something was wrong in this matter, so she asked my aunt to come and ······."

A slightly meaningful remark, but it only caused Liu Yan to shake her head casually, her eyes were still outside the palace gate, and she replied perfunctorily: "Not really; ”

"Isn't it rumored on the streets of Chang'an, Xiao Jiu sold grain from Taicang and got tens of thousands of gold."

"I thought, Xiao Jiu is only thirteen or fourteen years old, don't let people bully and coax me anymore, and be cheated out of gold."

"Then I came here in person to see the ······ from the sale of grain."

"Those ·········"

Perfunctory speaking, Liu Yan looked at the eyes outside the palace gate, only becoming more and more eager;

Sitting up straight and stretching her neck, but she never found the target outside the palace gate, Liu Concubine finally looked at Liu Sheng with a stiff smile and a little tentatively.

——This is the first time that Liu Sheng's eyes fell on Liu Sheng's body after she walked into the palace······

"Where did all the gold go?"

"Didn't you say that before, it was placed outside this side hall?"

There was a stiff smile on his face, and there was still a faint urgency in his tone;

Liu Yan looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, and couldn't help but bring a little urging!

If it weren't for the loss of face, I was afraid that Liu Sheng would be more willing to rush forward and grab Liu Sheng's collar and ask: Where is the gold?!

Where's my gold!!

Feeling the inexplicable urgency of Liu Xuan, Liu Sheng knew it in his heart.

But on the face, Liu Sheng finally had to smile and raise his head, pretending to be grateful and smiling at Liu Sheng.

"Worried my aunt."

"The gold obtained from selling grain has just been taken by my cousin Nan Pihou and transported to the Shaofu Treasury."

"If my aunt can't rest assured, she can go directly to the Shaofu to have a look······"

is full of easy-going, and there is no lack of deferential and gentle tone, but it only provokes Liu Yan's face to suddenly tighten!

After three or five breaths of stiffness, Liu Concubine came back from this stunned, lowered her head with an increasingly stiff smile, and absentmindedly stretched out her hand and grabbed the tea bowl in front of her.

"Oh······"

"Shipped away······"

"That's good, that's good······"

The obvious insincere sentence only provoked the two brothers sitting on both sides of the room to smile slightly, and saw that Liu Concubine was full of unwillingness, but she added more like a hard mouth: "Since it was transported away by Nanpihou, the bento can't go wrong; ”

"The treasury of the Shaofu Treasury, I, I don't go to it often······"

The sentence 'I don't go often' only provoked Liu Pengzu, who was sitting in the opposite seat, hurriedly lowered his head, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and tried not to let his snickering laughter reach Liu Yan's ears.

Don't go often?

- That's called can't get in!

Hey!

gloating, Liu Pengzu did not forget to move his gaze again;

A moment later, the two brothers sitting on both sides of the hall looked at each other and smiled tacitly at an angle that Liu Yan didn't notice, and then lowered their heads again······

Regarding Liu Xuan's current reaction, Liu Pengzu was naturally gloating, but he really didn't dare to laugh out loud;

But in Liu Sheng's heart, he was more helpless and afraid······

"It's just a little bit ······"

"If it's half an hour late, my aunt will be able to 'return with a full load' from the palace······"

Thinking like this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but take a deep breath with palpitations;

It took a while to calm down the throbbing emotions.

turned sideways, but found that Liu Yan's gaze, and I don't know when, locked on the money box outside the palace gate.

- Even 'the gold is placed outside the side hall', of course, it is impossible for Liu Yan not to know what is being stacked in the wooden box outside the palace gate at this moment.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Yan's gaze outside the palace gate was filled with some inexplicable entanglement.

It seems to be considering whether the money is worth carrying home;

Is it worth mobilizing dozens or hundreds of carriages to move these hundreds of wooden boxes from the Imperial Palace, which made a lot of discussion in Chang'an, but it can only be exchanged for 'few' millions of money······

Looking at Liu Yan's uncertain face, as well as the entanglement and dare not that flashed from time to time in her eyes looking outside the palace gate, Liu Sheng was helpless, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh leisurely.

For this aunt, if Liu Sheng has to say that he has any feelings, it is obviously out of nowhere;

In Liu Sheng's eyes, Liu Sheng's aunt is more like a distant relative who is not far away, is not familiar with herself, and loves to take advantage of small advantages.

So in the past, even if he knew that this aunt was very important in the heart of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Sheng never deliberately got close.

After all, distant relatives who love to take advantage will not be treated anywhere······

And now, Liu Sheng can't think like that anymore.

Because the future Liu Concubine will no longer be Liu Sheng's aunt, but will have an additional identity of 'mother-in-law'.

In addition, the visible future of the naked eye, the position of the prince who is about to fall on Liu Sheng's head, also makes Liu Sheng have to have a better relationship with this aunt who is not virtuous but can 'stir up the storm' by the side of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Of course, the most important thing is a law that is well known to women and children in Chang'an;

- The door of Princess Guantao's mansion can only be smashed open with gold bricks.

Even the door of the Hou Mansion of Tangyi and the side of Liu Concubine need to be smashed with gold bricks, but today's Liu Concubine herself came to the palace where Liu Sheng was.

In short: if you don't get what you want and can't get the 'appearance fee' that satisfies you, this eldest princess will not give up······

Thinking about this, Liu Sheng finally had to take a deep breath and exhale it gently;

After repeatedly doing a good job of psychological construction, he adjusted his complexion, and looked at his aunt Liu, who was still tangled beside him, with a gentle smile again.

"Aunt is here~"

"Could it be that you are also moved by the purchase and sale of this grain?"

seemed to be a referential remark, which only made Liu Yan's eyes light up slightly!

After a short period of thought, he cast an extremely hypocritical and deliberate worried gaze on his side, who was about to become the prince and the nephew of his son-in-law.

"Xiao Jiu;"

"There are rumors in Chang'an City: Xiao Jiu opened Taicang to sell cheap grain, but he did it at a loss?"

"——What to say, as long as you spend a hundred yuan, buy a stone of grain here in Xiao Jiu, and when it comes to the beginning of spring next year, you can sell it for thousands of dollars!"

"What's more, there are even some princes who are calculating in private: the money is given to Xiao Jiu, and the grain is also stored in Taicang with Xiao Jiu's help;"

"When the spring of next year comes, if you don't have to worry about it, you can transport the grain out of Taicang and sell it to farmers in Guanzhong, earning more than ten times or even dozens of times the profit."

"If it's too troublesome, you can also directly sell the grain that hasn't been shipped out of Taicang to Xiao Jiu at at least ten times the price!"

"The princes are saying, 'What is this business?'

"-This is clearly 'saving' the money in Xiao Jiu, and you can give birth to ten times as many cubs in half a year?!!"

In just a few words, Liu Yan's eyebrows were already dancing a little, and she couldn't even bother to make a look of 'I'm really worried about you'!

It's like this tenfold profiteering, as long as Liu Concubine wants it, she can enter Liu Concubine's pocket at any time!

But no matter how you say it, Liu Concubine is a 'businessman' after all.

The truth that risk and reward are proportional, of course Liu Yan understands in her heart.

So, Liu Concubine quickly calmed herself down again, hid her excitement and urgency back in her heart, and once again cast her 'worried' gaze to Liu Sheng in front of her.

"Of course, I am also tempted by this tenfold or dozens of times the windfall profits;"

"But no matter how tempting I am, I won't be able to see it clearly: the huge profits made by others are all lost by Xiao Jiu?"

"If I really want Xiao Jiu to lose more than ten times, or even dozens of times the money, how can I turn a blind eye???

"—after all, it's all family;"

"Gillian, it's already going to be given to Xiao Jiu."

"How can I bear to let my future son-in-law be reprimanded by His Majesty for losing the money of the Shaofu???

Full of sincerity - at least she thought she was 'sincere enough' to say this, and Liu Concubine finally turned around and looked at Liu Sheng with concern.

"Xiao Jiu, today, just give me a real deal."

"-This time, does Xiao Jiu have any backhand?"

"Will those princes who buy grain earn more than ten times, or even dozens of times the huge profits?"

asked two questions one after another, and Liu Yan didn't forget that there were no silver three hundred taels here, and added a little weakly: "If Xiao Jiu has a back hand, then I can rest assured." ”

"If you don't have a backhand, you really want the princes to make ten times or dozens of times more huge profits by selling grain~"

"Ahem······"

"Then Xiao Jiu told me earlier, I, as an aunt, can also think of a way for Xiao Jiu?"

Obviously, with a weak emphasis, Liu Sheng's heart made Liu Sheng smile bitterly;

Even the elder brother Liu Pengzu on the other side gradually became full of sympathy when he looked at Liu Sheng.

What Liu Concubine meant, the two brothers, of course understand.

- Nephew, give your aunt a solid answer!

- Can this business make money?!

If you can't make any money, then your aunt will give up;

If you can make money, then your aunt will have to end up in person······

"How?"

In his thoughts, Liu Sheng sounded another seemingly worried, but actually urgent urging, which made Liu Sheng sigh helplessly.

"Father, how did you tolerate your aunt's ······?"

Although he had such thoughts in his heart, on the surface, Liu Sheng did not forget the teachings that Tianzi Qi inadvertently mentioned to himself before.

- Whoever is useful to you, try not to tear your face if you can······

"Since my aunt is worried, the nephew naturally has no reason to hide it."

In his mind, the voice of Tianzi Qi, which was low, occasionally a little hoarse, but always reassuring, finally calmed Liu Sheng completely.

said a word softly, and when Liu Concubine nodded to herself expectantly, Liu Shengcai finally took a deep breath, smiled again, and slowly shook his head at Liu Concubine.

"After this year's autumn harvest, as long as anyone buys grain from me, it is absolutely impossible to make money."

"- It's not 'can't make a lot of money,' it's 'can't make money.'"

"You can't make a single penny."

"Not only can you not make money, but even the capital of buying grain may not be able to keep ······"

was full of determination, and without waiting for Liu Concubine to react, Liu Sheng shook his head and smiled again.

"So be it."

"Here, nephew, make a note for my aunt: Taicang's grain has 100,000 stones for my aunt."

"-This money for buying food, naturally I don't need to give it to my aunt, but my nephew pays for it himself."

"When it comes to the beginning of spring next year, if my aunt wants grain, then the 100,000 stone of grain, my nephew will personally go to Taicang to bring it up and transport it outside my aunt's house."

"If my aunt doesn't want food, then my nephew will convert my aunt's 100,000 stone of grain into gold at the price of grain at that time and send it to my aunt's house in person."

"So, okay?"

still had a deferential, amiable, but also confident words, which only aroused Liu Yan's suspicions.

Then he cautiously asked, 'Will food prices really skyrocket?' And after getting a definite answer from Liu Sheng's mouth, Liu Concubine finally nodded thoughtfully.

"100,000 stone of grain, 100,000 stone of gold, that's ······"

"A thousand gold?"

faintly looking forward to it, and obviously asking a little weakly, Liu Concubine finally put a heartfelt smile on her face.

Hearing Liu Yan's question, Liu Sheng shook his head with a smile.

"I'm afraid that in the spring of next year, according to the price of grain at that time, 100,000 stone of grain will not be worth 1,000 gold······

"But don't worry, aunt;"

"Even if at that time, the price of grain in Guanzhong fell to 30 or 50 yuan a stone, and my nephew would give it a lot of money."

seemed to be a casual remark, but with a hint of hint, and finally made Liu Yan nod her head with satisfaction.

Although I didn't see the tens of thousands of gold piled up in the 'legend', from Liu Sheng's mouth, she got the promise of 'sending a thousand gold to her aunt' back, and Liu Concubine barely felt satisfied.

It's just that even if the expected goal was achieved, when Liu Concubine left, she still didn't forget to get up with a smile and leave a vague warning to Liu Sheng.

"With Xiao Jiu's words, I can rest assured about stabilizing food prices this time."

"But there is one sentence, after thinking about it again, I still have to say it, let Xiao Jiu think about it;"

"- Gillian, but my own flesh and blood, heart and liver baby······"

"Huh?"
