Su Mengqing shook his head and said: "Daddy has raised his daughter, the husband and child of the female middle school dare not boast, the child is just smarter than the ordinary woman who only thinks about 'husband and children'." ”

Su Bancheng nodded and said: "But, it's just such a little favor, and it was leaked out by you 'unintentionally', will the emperor really miss you?" ”

Su Mengqing also replied calmly when he heard this: "Naturally not." This time it's just to leave a good impression on the emperor first. In order for him to notice me completely, or even become obsessed with me, it is not enough to contribute a little bit. ”

Su Bancheng asked again: "Then what are I going to do?" Seduced by beauty? I think this is doable, my baby daughter is a rare beauty. It's much stronger than your sister surnamed Zhao. She can accompany the king, and so can my daughter. ”

When Su Mengqing heard this, he shook his head and said, "No! Dad, this trick of yours is the most unlikely. Lingzhu can be by his side, not by appearance, but by good luck. The emperor was born in Wudang, and Lingzhu's deceased husband was a disciple of Wudang and the only son of Song Daxia. The emperor's parents died when he was a child, and he was taken care of by Wudang. He is willing to accept the spirit beads, I am afraid that it is also to repay the kindness of Song Daxia, an uncle. ”

"And the other red faces around the emperor, the children have almost all seen them on Shaomu Mountain. Miss Yin of the emperor's mother's family, as well as the child's senior sister Zhou, and the Mongolian county lord Zhao, are all the faces of the country. Compared to them," Zhao Lingzhu chuckled helplessly, "Compared to them, the children are ashamed of themselves." If daughters are rare beauties, then they are one in a million. ”

When Su Bancheng heard this, the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he asked, "Since my son doesn't have any advantages, how does my son think about it?" Can the king of a country fall under my skirt regardless of beauty? ”

Su Mengqing did not answer his father's question, but asked rhetorically: "Who does my father think is the most successful businessman since ancient times?" ”

Su Bancheng said without thinking: "Naturally, it is 'no sharp business', the ancestor of the merchant, the merchant saint Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li." ”

Su Mengqing shook his head when he heard this, and said, "My daughter's opinion is different from that of my father. Although Fan Li is the ancestor of merchants. But he also retreated bravely in the rapids and abandoned his official position to engage in business. He didn't go from a merchant to an official. ”

Su Bancheng asked, "Then who is the most successful businessman in my heart?" ”

Su Mengqing replied: "Naturally, it is Qin Xiang Lu Buwei who is a 'strange commodity to live in'. Lü Buwei was born as a businessman and became a marquis. ”

When Su Bancheng heard the name "Lü Buwei", he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lü Buwei's story is naturally known to my father. But in the end, he cocooned himself, and although he gained power, he buried his family business and lost his life. He can be said to have lost even his old book, and compared to Tao Zhugong, who retired after his success, he is still a little worse. Do I want to follow Lü Buwei's example in doing that 'great' deal? ”

Su Mengqing shook his head and said: "The child is a woman, so naturally he doesn't have Lu Buwei's ambition to 'replace it'. What the child wants to do is just to let our Su family get rid of the 'cheap status' of the merchant and glorify the ancestors. However, if you want to do this, you need a lot of 'capital'. ”

Su Mengqing looked back at his father and asked, "Dad, I just don't know if you are willing to make this deal." ”

Su Bancheng asked, "How much is the investment?" ”

Su Mengqing replied: "Almost all of our net worth. ”

Su Bancheng asked again: "What about the return?" ”

Su Mengqing continued: "That is, the child enters the palace as a concubine, and the father becomes the national abbot, and our Su family has since become a relative of the emperor from a businessman." ”

Su Bancheng thought about it for a while and said, "This return is very tempting, but I don't know how sure my son is." ”

Su Mengqing smiled bitterly and said, "The child doesn't hide it from his father, this time it's a risky investment." The child's grasp is less than 10%. But even if there is only a 10% chance, the child still wants to give it a try. ”

After listening to his daughter's words, Su Bancheng was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled: "Hahaha, my son is really bold, he only has a chance of winning, and he dares to invest." That's a lot better than being a father. ”

Su Mengqing said with a smile: "The greater the risk, the greater the benefit." If you don't have money, you can make it slowly, but there are not many opportunities to become a relative of the emperor and leave a name in history. Even if there is less than a 10% chance of winning, the child is willing to give it a try. ”

Su Bancheng smiled: "Okay! However, if you want your father to invest, my son will also tell your father what his plans are. If it's really too risky, forget it. ”

Su Mengqing still didn't answer her father's question, she asked, "Dad, how much wealth do we have now?" ”

If someone else asked, even if Su Bancheng was killed, he would not tell the truth. But now when his own daughter asked, he said frankly: "Your grandfather taught my father a truth when he was alive, that is, eggs should never be put in one basket." Shen Wansan, that kid, although he cheated us a lot of money. But your father's name of 'Su Bancheng' is not called in vain. ”

"Your father hid five million taels of gold and silver in the Suzhou Creek. The warehouse of Hangzhou Phoenix also has 200,000 stones of aged rice last year. As long as we are willing, we will still be a tyrant in Suzhou in the future. ”

Hearing this, Su Mengqing said, "Okay! If this is the case, then the child's certainty is not only one, but seven. ”

Su Bancheng was a little surprised, but before he could ask, Su Mengqing asked again: "Dad, how much money do we have available now?" How much cash can you replace in your old treasure box? ”

Su Bancheng said: "At present, the world is in chaos, and I am afraid that those thousands of taels of silver tickets will not be used." The various rare gems, pearls, and night pearls among them can be exchanged for at least 100,000 taels of silver if they are exchanged for silver. ”

Su Mengqing said happily after hearing this: "If this is the case, it will not be seven, but it will definitely be done." Father! The child is willing to use thousands of family wealth to win a royal relative. I wonder if my father agrees? ”

Su Bancheng sighed and said, "Dad, it's just a child like you." Although this money is good, it is not brought with it in life, and it is not brought with it in death. It's also left to you sooner or later. I can spend as much as I want. It's just that my son has been selling for so long, how do you want to behave? ”

Su Mengqing said confidently: "He gave me the name of the emperor, and the child is willing to sacrifice the land of Shu, Suzhou, and even the entire land of Qinhuai with him." This is not difficult to change from the work of Long Dingding to the position of a concubine. ”

Su Bancheng said: "If this is the case, it is indeed not difficult. But I'm so sure? ”

Su Mengqing said: "This is nature. Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have been important in the conquest of the world. But Sun Wuzi once said, 'Before the soldiers and horses are moved, the grain and grass go first'. It is better to consume one enemy than to spend one's own stone. These more than 3 million taels of silver, as well as hundreds of thousands of stone grains, are our biggest capital. ”

"The child has bought some real estate in Bashu, and he has also saved some money over the years, and the cash in your hands is enough for me to carry out the plan of dedicating Shu land to the emperor."
