Chapter 16: I Just Want to Make Money

In the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, in Mu Qinxue's boudoir, Duan Yunsleeve watched her pacing back and forth with a nervous face, and she didn't feel funny.

"Oh, Sister Cloud Sleeves, he's finally here, what should I do? How can I pretend to be seeing him for the first time? ”

"Huh? Have you seen him before? Duan Yunsleeve said curiously.

"Ever since my grandfather revealed that he would marry me, I've secretly gone to see him a few times...... Oops, why are you asking this? ”

Duan Yunsleeve couldn't help it, covering his mouth and snickering.

It turns out that a strange woman like her will inevitably have a little daughter.

"What's so nervous about this, I pretended to be a eunuch in order to trick him into taking the bait." Duan Yunsleeve snorted.

"Huh? You actually pretended to be a eunuch? Father-in-law Lin? ”

Mu Qinxue was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and the tension in her heart was swept away.

"Humph! It's not for Sister Qin Xue, let's say it, how do you repay others~" Duan Yunsleeve pursed his lips with a look of resentment.

Mu Qinxue hurriedly coaxed.

"Sister Yun Sleeve is the best, my sister can share anything with you in the future, if you want Liang Xiao's poems, give them to you!"

Duan Yunsleeve was satisfied, how could he not hide the smile on his face: "For the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly embarrass it, and then teach you how to deceive him!" ”

Liang Xiao came to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and under the guidance of the workshop shopkeeper, he followed the sound of the piano to a water pavilion and looked around.

The autumn light is rippling, and the interior and exterior are elegantly arranged, which shows the owner's elegant taste.

And under the surface of the water, there seems to be a spring, which shows the financial resources of the owner's family.

There is also a screen in the distance, and a shadow of a piano can be faintly seen on the opposite side of the screen.

Hearing that the daughter of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was Nangong Ning's best friend, Liang Xiao couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart.

After a song, Mu Qinxue asked, "But Liang Gongzi?" ”

And behind Mu Qinxue, there was also a thick screen, where Duan Yunsleeve and his entourage Feiyun were eavesdropping.

"Yes, what is Miss Mu looking for?" Liang Xiao said.

"Naturally, it's for poetry, couplets, and business."

Mu Qinxue said, slowly got up, and walked out of the screen.

Liang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he was secretly surprised.

Dressed in green clothes, his demeanor is elegant, and his appearance is also beautiful, anyone who sees it will be shocked.

Mu Qinxue praised: "Father-in-law Lin is a friend of my brother, and I told the little girl and my brother everything about Liang Gongzi." Unexpectedly, Liang Gongzi was deeply hidden, and he was able to make the next couplet, and even the little woman as the one who wrote the question, he couldn't think of it. Three rays of sun, moon and stars, four poems and elegant songs, may be the only absolute. ”

"Actually, it's not absolute." Liang Xiao said without thinking.

Mu Qinxue looked at Liang Xiao with blank eyes: "Is it bad for a little woman to ask the question?" ”

"No, no, no, the question is wonderful, but there are other answers to the next link, such as, 'a gust of wind and thunder', which is also right." Liang Xiao explained.

Hearing this, Mu Qinxue and Duan Yunchong, who was guarding behind the screen, were stunned, and nodded at the same time, with a little more surprise in their eyes.

Liang Xiao saw Mu Qinxue's reaction in his eyes and thought thoughtfully.

It seems that this woman is not hostile to herself.

Considering that Lin Duan has a good relationship with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion has always won the favor of the emperor, and Liang Xiao has also relaxed a lot.

Mu Qinxue smiled and said: "Liang Gongzi is really hidden, and he has poetry and books in his belly. The reason why Gonggong Lin is looking for you must have told you the reason. ”

"It's because of my father's divorce notice and Nangong Ning's divorce." Liang Xiao nodded.

Mu Qinxue explained: "My brother is busy, and Gonggong Lin is not here at this time, so I asked the little girl to ask Liang Gongzi's opinion." In fact, His Majesty also has the heart to take care of Liang Gongzi, and Gonggong Lin intends to recommend Liang Gongzi to His Majesty as an official, but I don't know what Liang Gongzi wants. ”

"I want to do business, and it's best to become an imperial businessman." Liang Xiao replied.

Mu Qinxue was puzzled: "Didn't Gongzi Liang already reveal to Gonggong Lin that he was willing to be an official?" ”

"That's what I comforted Grandpa Lin, I just want to do business now." Liang Xiao smiled.

Mu Qinxue was stunned.

Duan Yunsleeve behind the screen frowned, full of grievances: "This palace does not hesitate to pretend to be a eunuch for you, you dare to deceive this palace......"

Feiyun's eyes on the side were like torches, and his right hand subconsciously pressed on the sword at his waist.

Deceiving Her Royal Highness the princess is equivalent to the crime of deceiving the king!

"With Liang Gongzi's talent, even if he can't govern the country and the country, it is not impossible to be famous for centuries with poetry and writing, why do you have to be a businessman?" Mu Qinxue asked.

"Because you can make money by doing business, everything else is nothing." Liang Xiao said with a smile.

"Virtual?!" Duan Yunsleeve bowed his head slightly, and his eyes were slightly red.

"It's all false?" Even Mu Qinxue was confused.

Liang Xiao said with a serious face: "Two years ago, on the way to Beijing, I saw too many people being displaced, and many places were facing famine, and even changing their children to eat. But you may not know these things in the capital. Does Your Majesty know? Your Majesty even if he knew. ”

Mu Qinxue was even more puzzled: "What does this have to do with your business?" Don't you understand that businessmen have always been unpopular, especially the imperial court. ”

Liang Xiao replied: "The prosperity of the capital is the best in the world, and there are still so many displaced people who have nowhere to resettle. What is the situation outside, and how can the people in the capital know about it? What if someone rebels? Today, the court will quell the chaos here, and tomorrow there will be the chaos, what do you have to rely on? Do you rely on the soldiers to go hungry to the south and the north with a heart of serving the country? ”

"So what the imperial court needs most is money?" Mu Qinxue seemed to have an understanding.

Liang Xiao shook his head and said, "No, what Your Majesty needs most is money, not the imperial court." You have to understand, even if His Majesty wants to allocate funds to do things, the household department may try his best to block it, even if the household department does not block it, those family officials rub a layer of oil and deduct it layer by layer, how much money is left that can really be used in practice? ”

Mu Qinxue's beautiful eyes lit up: "You started business so that you could help Your Majesty in the future......"

Liang Xiao nodded and said: "The family teacher told me that the three generations of emperors since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty have all been diligent in government and love the people, and they must be supported. If there are changes in the world in the future, and my family is rich, I can directly support Your Majesty. Your Majesty has money, so that he has the opportunity to improve the treatment of soldiers and boost morale, and he does not need to look at the faces of those families, and they are gradually emptied of imperial power by the family, or even replaced. ”

Mu Qinxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It was the little woman who underestimated Liang Gongzi's pattern. ”

Duan Yunsleeve, who was eavesdropping, looked a little gloomy at this time.

Liang Xiao said again: "You see that I am a white body, and I am a criminal minister, so I entered the officialdom, what can I do?" I might as well do practical things and make real money, so that I can repay the kindness of Gonggong Lin and His Majesty in the future. If there is any good plan, it is enough for me to let Gonggong Lin transfer it to His Majesty. In this way, Gonggong Lin can also please His Majesty. In comparison, what is that little bit of white eyes from the outside world? ”

"It turns out that you just have your own thoughts and always keep Your Majesty in your heart."

"That's nature! Although the money was from His Majesty, Gonggong Lin can appreciate me so much, he can be regarded as my confidant, and I regard him as a friend from the bottom of my heart. ”

After listening to Liang Xiao's heartfelt words, Duan Yunsleeve wiped his tears and looked resentful.
