Chapter Seventy-Nine: One Hundred Thousand
The day after the dust washing banquet, Ma Gonggong set off for Beijing.
The king of Beihai couldn't get off the bed, and the prince of Beihai sent him all the way to the city for thirty miles.
Ma Gonggong has reaped enough benefits these days, and now he is in a hurry to return to Beijing, and he is very polite to Xu Jing: "Thank you for sending the prince, it is far away from the city, please go back!" ”
Xu Jing responded with a smile: "I have gotten along with Father-in-law Ma very well during this period of time, and Father-in-law Ma is really reluctant to leave." ”
Naturally, he stuffed a purse into Ma Gonggong's hand: "A little heart, Ma Gonggong must not refuse." ”
When Ma Gonggong came, there were two carriages, and when he left, he was a little embarrassed to take the "heart" at this time. But I couldn't push it, so I took it.
As for Murong Shen, he didn't take Gonggong Ma in his eyes at all, he didn't come to see him off, and went to the Zhao clan to visit Uncle Zhao today.
Xu Jing sighed at Gonggong Ma: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, such a grand ceremony, but unfortunately my father has no chance to see him." ”
Ma Gonggong said fairly: "The prince is seriously ill and can't stay, but in fact, he is loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the court." This heart, when our family returns to Beijing, we will definitely report it to His Royal Highness. ”
Xu Jing thanked him: "On behalf of my father, I thanked Gonggong Ma." ”
The eyes are higher than the unruly prince of Beihai, and he is so polite and polite to himself, Ma Gonggong has a secret pleasure in his heart, and he laughs: "The prince is polite." When our family returned to the capital, we sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince. ”
Xu Jing's smile was maintained until Father-in-law Ma got into the carriage. When the carriage was far away, the smile on Xu Jing's face dissipated, and he snorted coldly.
Xu Shiyi knew that his master was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to slap his ass indiscriminately, so he asked carefully: "Is the prince going back home now?" ”
Xu Jing glared at the past impatiently: "Go to the clan study." ”
Xu Shiyi immediately understood: "Yes, yes, that Captain Murong is just a vulgar martial artist, and he also has the face to go to the Zhao clan to learn to visit the master." The prince will go now, and let that Murong Wufu see what is the talent of both civil and military talents. Let the master see that the son of the world is the destined lover of Miss Zhao Liu. ”
How else to say that Xu Shiyi is the most favored by his master?
This one is a sycophant.
Xu Jing had a smile on his face again, turned over on his horse, and rode the horse around.
Master, don't be fooled by Murong Shen's rhetoric, I'm here for your best and most outstanding disciple!
……
The official road was smooth, and Ma Gonggong sat in a special wide carriage made in the palace, walking fast and steady. It's okay to lie down in the carriage and sleep when you're sleepy.
Ma Gonggong prides himself on being a clear stream among the inner servants, likes antique calligraphy and painting, and has never looked down on the greedy faces of other inner servants.
Therefore, Xu Jing's purse was not put in his eyes, and he put it aside casually.
It wasn't until noon, when the convoy stopped, and after lunch, he was idle, and Ma Gonggong opened his purse.
The purse was fluttering, and there was a roll of silver tickets inside.
Silver tickets, Ma Gonggong has also seen a lot. The clan relatives and nobles or the civil officials of the six ministries entered the palace to ask for the prince to ask him to speak, and often someone stuffed one or two of them, or one or two hundred taels, and more than five hundred taels. Such a volume, to say the least, must be thousands of taels.
He thinks twice, and he is different from those inner servants who see silver and open their eyes.
Ma Gonggong opened it casually and took a look, and then his body shook, and the whole person sat up straight.
The little waiter who was waiting on the side was a little surprised: "What's wrong with my father-in-law?" ”
"Get out of here!" Ma Gonggong didn't raise his head.
The little chamberlain rolled out of the carriage in a hurry.
Ma Gonggong only then allowed himself to show shock and ecstasy.
Oh, my God! This turned out to be a huge silver ticket of 10,000 taels. There are ten in total, which is a full 100,000 taels!
Oh, my God! Only now did he know that he didn't love money, but because those people didn't give enough before!
The prince of Beihai is too bold and generous!
100,000 taels!
From now on, whoever dares to say that the king of Beihai is not half a word, who is the enemy of his horse and horses!
……
One hundred thousand taels is by no means a small number no matter where it is. This is Beihai County's tax for half a year, which is enough to recruit dozens of hundreds of masters of the rivers and lakes to work hard for the Beihai Palace.
Before giving away this purse, Xu Jing was also a little hesitant. It's not that he is reluctant to give up the money, but he doesn't look down on Ma Sansi.
"A chamberlain is also worthy." Xu Jing muttered to Zhao Xiyan in private: "Send 10,000 taels, it's enough to send him away." ”
"No, either you don't send it, and if you want to send it, you have to send a huge sum of silver, which is useful. Everyone in the world looks down on the servant, and Ma Sansi thinks very highly of himself, which can also be seen that he has a strong sense of self-esteem. If you give 10,000 taels of silver to such a person, he will not put it in his eyes. You even feel like you're humiliating him with silver. ”
"Only enough money can buy him completely. He is the prince's confidant, and when the prince ascends the throne, if there is someone around him to say a few good words to you for the prince, or to warn you in advance, the money will be well spent. ”
Zhao Xiyan's words easily persuaded Xu Jing.
If you want to use such a large sum of money, you naturally can't hide it. Xu Jing didn't hide it, and told the King of Beihai the day before.
Beihai Wang, who had lost a lot of weight lying on the sickbed, smiled with relief: "Miss Zhao Liu is really thoughtful and thoughtful. ”
"You are young and impulsive, and I can rest assured that she will give you advice."
"Just as she said, if you want to send it, send a large amount, send 100,000 taels!"
That's why there is such a thing today.
Xu Jing has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he never puts gold and silver vulgar things in his eyes. However, it still hurts to give away such a large sum of silver.
All the way to the Zhao clan school with a tense face, and entered the Jiazi school.
It's even more infuriating.
The position he was used to sitting in on weekdays was actually sat in today.
Xu Jing's heart jumped into sparks, but he was not in a hurry, and deliberately walked over slowly. The classmates in the school hall greeted him one after another.
Huo Yan's kid, who has been languishing these days, has a depressed expression, and is looking at it with complicated eyes.
Xu Jing was in no mood to pay attention to Huo Yan's thoughts, and swaggered to his position: "Captain Murong, I'm really sorry, this position has a master, please get up and give way." ”
Murong Shen didn't move, and even smiled politely: "The prince is seeing off Gonggong Ma today, how can he still have time to come to the clan study?" ”
In terms of height, in fact, Murong Shen is a little taller.
At the moment, Murong Shen was sitting, and Xu Jing, who was standing, had an absolute height advantage, and glanced at the past: "I can't come, this is my place, and no one can move." ”
"Captain Murong, please get up immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Xu Jing was furious in his heart, why didn't Murong Shen hold back his sulk?
Murong Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth: "If I don't get up, how will the prince be treated?" ”
