Looking at the golden bottle, Zheng Jiangqiu's words aroused the emperor's great interest.

He couldn't help but lean forward slightly and said, "Oh? ”

In his impression, the people who came out of the Yongning Marquis Mansion were all reckless people one after another, without wisdom, and he thought that Xie Jingyuan was the same, so when he heard Zheng Jiangqiu's description of Xie Jingyuan, the emperor couldn't help but want to ask.

"He didn't even suspect you? In other words, the kid of the Xie family is not only courageous, but also has a brilliant mind? The emperor then asked.

Zheng Jiangqiu nodded and said: "Well, Erchen does think so, after all, anyone will suspect Erchen, so he said that a person like him is a waste of being used as a staff member for the prince." ”

Speaking of the crown prince, Zheng Jiangqiu made no secret of his disdain and disdain.

If it weren't for the fact that the one sitting opposite him now was his father, who loved him the most, I was afraid that Zheng Jiangqiu would be kicked out now.

The emperor stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said, "This little marquis is the same as his old man, he can carry things, and you can be closer and closer in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Jiangqiu rolled his eyes at the emperor and said, "Didn't you just say that you were going to cut him off his official position?" ”

The emperor was choked by his son like this, and he was a little speechless for a while, and after a while, he drank a glass of wine and whispered secretly, "You are used to making fun of me, I am your father ...... anyway"

Without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, Zheng Jiangqiu frowned and interrupted him: "In other words, the Xie father and son are both loyal to the imperial court, and they have made a lot of contributions at the beginning, why is there only one marquis, which is one level lower than the mansion of the country, why?" ”

The emperor saw that his son was unwilling to hear him say that he was a father, and the topic changed obviously very bluntly, but he was helpless and sighed.

"Their family has nothing to do with the queen, and they ......"

He sighed and didn't say any more.

Next, even if the emperor didn't say anything more, Zheng Jiangqiu understood it and felt sad.

The two of them didn't say anything more, Zheng Jiangqiu picked up the gold bottle, cup after cup.

After several twists and turns, this meal has never been able to have a happy guest and host, but it can be regarded as harmonious.

Before Zheng Jiangqiu left, the emperor stopped him and said, "Your mother was ...... back then. My youth and vigor are also the reason, but ...... Don't hate me......"

Zheng Jiangqiu glanced at the emperor hesitantly and left without saying a word.

The emperor sighed, and the eunuchs beside him came forward to serve: "Your Majesty, why are you suffering? Every time I see His Highness the Nine, you are so sad. ”

Shaking his head to himself, the emperor sighed: "It's too similar, that face, the longer it looks, the more it looks like his mother, but it doesn't look like my ...... at all."

The eunuch felt sorry for the emperor and comforted: "You are the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, why bother to take only this scoop, the emperor should not always think about the people who have left." ”

The emperor was very drunk, laughing and crying silently, and seemed to see his beloved woman again in a daze......

"Ripple ......"

Stretching out his hand, the emperor staggered and wanted to get up, but fluttered in place.

The eunuch next to him was startled and hurriedly helped him.

"Your Majesty, you are drunk, the slave will help you to rest and rest, and when you sleep, everything will pass." Pulling the emperor, the eunuch struggled.

Helping him to the dragon couch, the emperor was still chanting: "Ripples...... Ripples of me, have you come to me......"

***

Late at night, the moon and stars are scarce.

As everyone knows, Hotatsuki, whose existence has caused a burst of suspicion in the palace, is buried in the research room, looking at the ledgers on the table, and her hair is a little loose.

When Chunlan, who had been on vacation for half a day, returned to the small courtyard of Shaoguang, saw the candlelight in the research room, knocked on the door and walked in.

Hearing the sound, Hotaru looked up.

"Madam, why are you in the research room, have you eaten?" Chunlan hurriedly cared.

At first, because she only had two days off a month on weekdays, and suddenly came out for half a day, Chunlan felt very uncomfortable, but she was also happy to have time to relax and go shopping.

Seeing that the smile on her face had increased a lot, Yingyue put down the Yanghao brush in her hand and said, "I've used it, how is it?" Are you happy today? ”

Chunlan nodded excitedly and said, "I'm happy, the slave maid went to the teahouse to listen to the play today, and when I come back, I am more energetic and can serve you well." ”

"This is called relaxation, people need to relax only when they are rested." Seeing her smile so cheerfully, Hotaru was also infected and chuckled.

Chunlan looked at the piles of ledgers on the table of Firefly Moon, and knew that Firefly Moon was probably settling accounts at the end of the month, counting the income and expenses of the two shops.

Wind Chimes and Linglong Pavilion are now two shops, so they are naturally divided into two ledgers.

"Is Madame looking at the shop's ledger?" Chunlan approached her side, glanced at the ledger, and was a little dizzy by the dense numbers on it, and couldn't help but say, "This looks too messy." ”

Hotaru Yue was amused by her, and after thinking about it, she still told her: "Yes, there are not many people I can trust at the moment, so the temporary accounts of the Linglong Pavilion, which has just opened this month, are still handed over to the shopkeeper Yao of Fengchijian to take care of together." ”

"I think that the business of the Linglong Pavilion that Madame has just opened should be good, there are so many people coming in and out every day, and a lot of new products are sold, especially perfumes, all of which are sold out as soon as they come out." Chunlan grinded for her, while analyzing.

Hearing her words, Hotaru rubbed her temples with a big head: "That's not the case. Although I am not too sensitive to the numbers, but a rough calculation, Linglong Pavilion is now just starting business, although there are many important guests, but the publicity has not yet been in place, in order to spread the cost of purchasing real estate and slaves, in the strict sense it is still the stage of losing money and making money. ”

"It's the wind chime stream that is steady." Hotaru sighed.

Originally, she also wanted to quickly plan the vacant part of Linglong Pavilion to do new projects, but now it seems that it will be more expensive to recruit a few more people in, and training will also require a lot of expenses, so she can only slow it down for the time being.

Chunlan was shocked by the number calculated by Firefly: "Ah, the slave maid still thinks that Linglong Pavilion will not lose money, this is the first salon in the capital." ”

It seems that doing business is not as simple as you think!

In the past, there were a lot of old customers in the wind chime stream, and every account was carefully planned by Yao's shopkeeper, which would not make Yingyue worry about this problem at all.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing, it's too smooth to grow." Hotaru lowered her head and continued to study the ledger.

In fact, Shopkeeper Yao is also very attentive, and keeps all the accounts in an orderly manner, even the purchase price used by those distributor channels, and the amount of each product purchased are clearly written.

Hotaru suddenly leaned closer and looked at the ledger, and said in surprise: "Eh, this trace ......"
