3 IOUs

Chapter 3 IOUs

Zhang Changyan was originally in a rage, but Rong Zhao just had a strange aura, and as soon as she opened her mouth in a hurry, she could make people calm down and listen to her.

So, Zhang Changyan turned his head to look at her, his face was still not good-looking.

Rong Zhao didn't care, she was still giving a speech the day before she came in, and she received countless applause, it was not difficult for her to quiet down.

And she has always been good at negotiation, and a business circle boss once commented-

Let her speak, and you'll lose first.

Rong Zhao raised his hand, picked up the teapot and wanted to pour tea for Zhang Changyan, but the hand trembled slightly, obviously a little unstable, and water splashed out, which made it very uncomfortable to see.

Zhang Changyan couldn't help it, snatched it, and poured the tea cups for the two of them.

When he put down the teapot, he sat down again.

Rong Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, and the smile in his eyes was retracted.

When he looked at Zhang Changyan again, Rong Zhao let out a long sigh: "Alas, Brother Zhang, although I am the son of the Anqing Palace, my father has detained me at home all the year round and does not let me go out, not to mention the entire Dayan Dynasty, even in Beijing, I am afraid that not many people know about me." ”

"The prince is too modest, you are the prince of Anqing Palace, who doesn't know?" Zhang Changyan smiled but didn't smile.

This is actually quite perfunctory.

Rong Zhao continued to sigh: "People who know, I'm afraid they all call me sick." ”

Zhang Changyan pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, he was quite self-aware.

Rong Zhao took a sip of the teacup and continued: "Born in a family like ours, Zhong Ming eats, but who knows that we also have bitterness and can't say it. ”

Zhang Changyan looked at him.

Rong Zhao coughed twice, and continued with a sick face: "The ancestors of the family have already earned the family business, and my father is really promising, so there is not much room for us to play." If we do a good job as a son, that is what we should do, and if we do not do it well, we will be ashamed. ”

β€”β€”This is the common heart of the second generation.

Zhang Changyan nodded approvingly.

Rong Zhao: "When others talk about me, they must be the prince of Anqing, and you are the third son of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's family." Although my father didn't say anything, he always looked at me with disappointed eyes, I thought I was not a gentleman, I knew how to write and ink, and I was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but under my father's brilliance, I couldn't do what amazing results were. ”

Zhang Changyan nodded violently: "Yes, that's right." ”

Rong Zhao picked up the teacup, which was already empty, and Zhang Changyan hurriedly poured it for her.

Rong Zhao: "Come, don't say anything, drink one first." ”

Zhang Changyan poured the tea as a sip of wine, "You are talking about my heart!" ”

Rong Zhao also drank it in one gulp and put down the empty cup, "I'm better, after all, the Rong family only has one son, and Brother Zhang has two older brothers, and they are also equally good, but Brother Zhang is more and more inconspicuous." ”

Zhang Changyan's face became ugly.

Rong Zhao sighed: "Actually, in my opinion, Brother Zhang is also very good, and your two brothers are just relying on their age." ”

Zhang Changyan nodded again, picked up the teapot, and poured the empty cup for Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao stood up: "I used to think that I would be like this for the rest of my life, but now I don't want to be like this, I want to make some achievements, I want to be famous, and I want my father to be proud of me, instead of being angry when I mention it." ”

Zhang Changyan also picked up the teacup: "The son of the world has ambitions." ”

- Why doesn't he want to, he wants to too!

The two collided with each other as a wine cup, and then drank it together, and suddenly felt that each other was a lot closer.

"Men" are like this, if a glass of "wine" goes down, then they can really call brothers and sisters and talk about life.

Zhang Changyan was curious: "Shizi, so what are you going to do?" ”

Rong Zhao didn't hide it, and replied very cheerfully: "I want to do business." ”

Trade?

If it weren't for Rong Zhao's "handle", Zhang Changyan would have laughed out loud by now.

In the previous dynasty, because the status of merchants was too low and commerce was underdeveloped, life was very hard, and it eventually led to its demise.

Therefore, the status of the businessmen of the Dayan Dynasty is not bad, but in the end it is not very decent, and it is a dream to expect to be famous in business!

Daydreaming!

This little son is afraid that he will be stupid at home.

Rong Zhao handed over the empty cup and said, "I originally wanted Brother Zhang to invest, but it's not that the business hasn't been made yet, there is no prospect, and naturally I can't pit Brother Zhang, so I said to borrow." ”

Zhang Changyan's face was expressionless: "I don't have 20,000 taels." ”

Is it borrowed?

It was clearly a threat.

Moreover, he really did not have 20,000 taels to lend out.

Not to mention anything else, even if he can take it out, can Rong Zhao's behavior of borrowing 20,000 taels to do business be reliable? Would he dare to give money to such an unreliable person to do business?

Rong Zhao: "Since it is borrowed, I will write an IOU and promise Brother Zhang to pay it off within three months." ”

"IOUs?" Zhang Changyan raised his eyebrows.

Rong Zhao bowed his head: "Yes, write Rong Zhao's name, stamp the seal of the prince of Anqing, and if you don't pay it after three months, you will dispose of it." ”

Zhang Changyan's eyes lit up, he hurriedly poured a glass of water for Rong Zhao, and leaned his head closer: "Shizi, seriously?" ”

Rong Zhao picked up the teacup and sighed: "Actually, I don't want to write an IOU, but I only have one friend, Brother Zhang, and I am very relieved of Brother Zhang." ”

She said faintly: "If this is someone else, I don't feel at ease, what if someone else takes an IOU to pinch me, the future king of Anqing?" ”

Zhang Changyan: "!! ”

The new world is like a door, and it opens with a bang.

He picked up the teacup and touched Rong Zhao's teacup: "Come on, come on, take a sip, what the prince means, I will lend you 20,000 taels, and you will write me an IOU and promise to pay it off in three months?" ”

Rong Zhao took a sip and nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Changyan was ecstatic, tried hard to suppress it, and eagerly poured tea for Rong Zhao, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help rising, "Since this is the case, then I will definitely lend it to the prince." The son of the world is my brother, and if my brother needs it, of course I will do my best to help. ”

Rong Zhaohu was suspicious: "Didn't you just say no?" ”

Zhang Changyan: "I don't have it, but my father does!" ”

Are you kidding!

That's an IOU from the prince of Anqing's palace!

Nowadays, people value their promises, especially the things that are written are legally effective, and the more they have a head and face, the more they cannot violate the written notes by hand.

Not to mention anything else, the impeachment of the imperial history, the title of "King of Anqing" cannot be kept.

As soon as this IOU is written, if it can't be repaid after three months, then Zhang Fu will be able to take care of the prince of Anqing and the palace of Anqing.

If it is returned three months later, there has been an "IOU", and the prince of Anqing does not want to leak it out, and he will be poked in the back, so he must be careful to curry favor with Zhangfu.

The IOU is the handle.

Business is not business, business is not important.

Rong Zhao is willing to daydream and do it, Zhang Changyan only needs an IOU to take care of the Anqing Palace!

Rong Zhao said quietly: "It turns out that Zhang Sangongzi still has to point at Prime Minister Zhang...... That's it, I think Zhang Sangongzi really can't take out 20,000 taels, so you have to keep my IOU. ”

When Zhang Changyan heard this, he stiffened slightly.

Then he pulled the corners of his mouth: "Of course I will keep it, and as soon as the prince pays back the money in three months, I will return the IOU immediately." ”

"That's good." Rong Zhao nodded and asked rhetorically, "Is Brother Zhang going to prepare the silver taels now?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Changyan quickly stood up.

He was not at ease and advised: "Shizi, you wait, before tonight, I will definitely send the money, you must remember to write the IOU." ”

"Don't worry," Rong Zhao bowed: "Rong Zhao is weak, so he won't send it." ”

"No need to send it, Rong Shizi will wait for me." Zhang Changyan raised his feet and hurriedly walked out.

He was in a hurry to go back to raise money at this time, for fear that Rong Zhao would regret it later.

Rong Zhao looked at his back with a smile.

-

Leave the Anqing Palace.

The entourage asked: "Third son, we haven't completed the prime minister's orders, what can we do?" ”

Zhang Changyan was thinking about it, and waved his hand casually when he heard it: "What to do?" That Rong Shizi is clearly a man, his father's news is fake, I can return it with my whole body and negotiate a deal to control the Anqing Palace, how can my father be angry? ”

The attendant was curious: "What kind of sale?" ”

Zhang Changyan was about to speak, when he suddenly paused.

The entourage is Prime Minister Zhang's people, so naturally they all listen to Prime Minister Zhang.

He thought of what Rong Zhao said......

Zhang Changyan suddenly made a bold decision.

He decided not to tell his father about this first, but to raise money on his own, and then give the IOU to his father after he got the IOU from his son with 20,000 taels.

At that time, his father will definitely be impressed with him!

Now tell my father about this, what if my father thinks he is unreliable and takes out the money to hand over this matter to his two brothers?

Rong Zhao's words are still very reasonable.

- It's not that he doesn't show up, it's that the Zhang family doesn't give him room to play!

So, Zhang Changyan said: "It's nothing, let's go, go home first." ”

-

Anqing Palace.

Rong Zhao went to the main courtyard, the concubine Zhao, the princess Lin, and the side concubine Bai were all waiting in the main courtyard, and on the bed, King Anqing opened his eyes and could only make a "ahhhhhh

Seeing her come in, the Lin family, who had just been released, immediately stepped forward and hugged her, with red eyes: "Liulang, it's good that you're okay!" Mother's Rokuro! ”

Regardless of whether Rong Zhao is a man or a woman, the Lin family only has one child, of course, she is regarded as a heart.

Rong Zhao was slightly uncomfortable, but in the end he raised his hand and patted Lin's back gently: "Mother, I'm fine." ”

Above, Zhao frowned: "What are you crying for?" Rokuro is the son of the world, you have to pay attention to proportion. ”

When Lin heard this, he hurriedly let go.

Rong Zhao heard this, took a few steps forward, she was wearing a green shirt, the belt was slightly tied, and a pair of carved white jade was tied to the left and right.

Wearing a jade crown on his head, his body is unstable, but his eyes are tough and powerful.

Her voice was clear: "The child Rong Zhao has seen his father, grandmother, mother, and side concubine. ”

After looking up and down, the Zhao family nodded: "Zhao'er, you performed very well today and saved the life of the palace." ”

Rong Zhao shook his head: "This is what I should do." ”

She knelt down and kowtowed seriously: "My father was seriously ill, and the child was also seriously ill, but when I woke up, I felt clear and enlightened. ”

This was the reason she had found for a drastic change in her temperament.

The ancients believed in fate, and it was not unacceptable that they would go through a life and death situation, and their temperament would change greatly.

Her eyes were sincere, and her voice was crisp: "My Anqing Mansion is facing a catastrophe, only the child dies of illness, can solve this dilemma, the child was once dull and cowardly, dare not die, worthy of the protection of his father, worthy of the son of Anqing Palace!" ”

Her expression was atmospheric, not afraid of death, and it seemed like she could see through everything after a serious illness.

Lin's face burst into tears in an instant, and even the first Zhao had red eyes, "Are you being implicated by us......"

It was the Zhao family and the Lin family who lied at the beginning, what does it have to do with a baby?

But in the end, it was the baby who had to carry everything.

Before, they even almost poisoned her.

Rong Zhao shook his head: "Rong Zhao is willing to die, but the current situation is ...... Children do not dare to die easily. ”

Zhao sighed, his eyes annoyed: "It's us who almost fell for the calculation, Zhao'er, you can't die." ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and the others obviously already suspected, they were almost blocked today, where did they dare to let Rong Zhao die?

Now that the son of the world has passed away, it is to affirm the other party's speculation and let people come to the door again!

Bai's voice trembled slightly: "But the secret can't be hidden for a lifetime......

Zhao squeezed the handrail tightly, and the old man's face was numb and desperate: "If you can delay it for a day, you can deal with the current situation first, maybe ...... The prince will get better soon. ”

She looked at Rong Zhao: "Hurry up." ”

Hearing this, Rong Zhao slowly stood up.

Lin asked, "Have you already sent Zhang Sangongzi away?" He was happy when he went out, what's going on? ”

Zhao also looked at her, his eyes puzzled.

Rong Zhao: "Zhang Sangongzi already believes in the identity of the child, but Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is cunning and cunning, and the imperial doctor has not taken the pulse today, I am afraid he will not believe it, and he still doubts it." ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng didn't completely dispel his suspicions, so he would keep staring at them.

There is still a knife hanging over the head of the Anqing Palace, which may fall at any time.

Zhao closed his eyes slightly, his face showed despair, and Bai's body shook and almost fell to the ground.

Rong Zhao's voice changed: "However, Prime Minister Zhang will be more cautious and hesitant next time." ”

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her voice smiled: "Because Zhang Sangongzi will guarantee the child." ”

Zhao immediately opened his eyes.

Lin asked, "What's going on?" ”

Rong Zhao explained in detail the matter of 20,000 taels and the IOU.

Bai's eyes widened: "Shizi, confused!" As soon as the IOU is written, the Zhang Mansion will be able to control our Anqing Palace. ”

Rong Zhao looked calm and said lightly; "Then the Anqing Mansion still exists, and Zhang Sangongzi will not tell Prime Minister Zhang about this matter for the time being, he will cover for the child."

Her expression was serious, and her eyes were firm and trusting: "Grandmother, the child needs to do the second thing at once now, in order to protect himself, please allow grandmother." ”

Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion.

Zhang Changyan swore an oath, and he swore an oath on the gambling curse-

"Father believes in the child, that Rong Zhao is definitely not a woman, the father has the wrong news."

"The child dares to vouch with his head!"
