Chapter 18 Repay the Money

Let's talk about the repayment of the silver......

To the ears of the four princes and onlookers, Rong Zhao is going to repay the money tomorrow!

This Fuluzhuang is good, and there are many people who have booked, but it is definitely not enough for 80,000 taels in arrears.

Didn't King Anqing give his son a cover?

Ignorant Rongping: "??? ”

He stared at Rong Zhao with wide eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Are you kidding?

Pay back tomorrow, what will you pay back tomorrow?!

The four princes thought that King Anqing had posted money, but only Rong Ping himself knew, Rong Zhao didn't say anything to him, and naturally he didn't care if he asked for money.

Prince Rong couldn't hide his joy on his face, and asked, "When is tomorrow?" ”

Rong Zhao: "Is noon good?" ”

Prince Lu immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, then we will wait for Rong Shizi in Deshunxuan at noon tomorrow." ”

Rong Zhao smiled gently, as if she was looking forward to it, she raised her hand and saluted: "Then Rong Zhao will continue to be busy, and meet with the four uncles tomorrow." ”

After speaking, she turned to leave, and her relatively short and thin back looked like it had its own momentum, and the jade tree was in the wind.

The four princes glanced at each other.

Prince Rong was slowly devouring the cake while his thoughts drifted away.

Next to him, Prince Yu lowered his voice: "Second brother, do you have a harvest from the chef in your house?" ”

Prince Rong retracted his thoughts and nodded slightly: "I sent someone to ask just now, and he said that he learned some, some dishes can imitate seven or eighty percent, but some dishes still don't know the trick." ”

Prince Yu's voice lowered: "The chef in my house also said the same, when Rong Zhao finishes repaying the money tomorrow, we will join forces to pit him again!" ”

Prince Rong looked around to make sure no one heard, so he nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Not far away, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, who was originally unhappy because there was no accident at this birthday banquet, was happy again.

This Rong Zhao thought that he knew that he would not be able to pay the money when the period of March expired, so he asked the Anqing Royal Mansion to make up money in advance and repay the money in advance, and I am afraid that he also wanted to try to ease the relationship with the four princes.

Dream!

These four princes are more cautious than the other, how can they really forgive Rong Zhao?

As soon as Rong Zhao returns the money tomorrow, he will immediately release rumors to attack him, and at the same time, he can also help the four princes to pit this kid together......

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Zhang touched his beard and smiled meaningfully.

-

After the cake is eaten, the final program of the birthday banquet, the fireworks show, is about to begin.

The curious people in Beijing were waiting outside early, some looking expectant, some curious, and some unbelieving.

The guests were led out by a subordinate dressed in the same clothes as Fu Lu Zhuang, and stood in the best viewing area at the door, and only then did the guests notice-

The glass lantern at the entrance of Fuluzhuang has changed the font!

"Mrs. He Cuitai's sixty-fifth birthday" is hung high, as bright as it can flash to people's eyes.

Mrs. Cui's eyes immediately turned red, and the other old ladies also had red eyes.

The former is excitement, the latter is envy and jealousy!

"When does the fireworks show start?" Mrs. Cui looked at Rong Zhao with a smile on her face.

Rong Zhao smiled, then raised his hand and slapped his palm twice.

At the moment when her applause landed, all the subordinates shouted in unison-

"Mrs. He Cui has a happy birthday, and Fuluzhuang wishes Mrs. Mrs. He good health and a long life!"

The voice landed, and in front of him, the fireworks exploded.

Mrs. Cui tightly grasped Rong Xianghua's hand, tilted her head, and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky with moist eyes.

The highlight of life, but that's it.

As Mrs. Cui's wife, she has had many birthdays over the years, but because the birthdays are held in the mansion and the place is too small, she is surrounded by some close female relatives.

It's not so much her birthday banquet as it is the reaction of Mrs. Cui and the situation in Beijing.

The status of women in the Dayan Dynasty is not too low, but after all, men are inferior to women.

But today is different, almost all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital have come, and it does not involve whether the relationship is close or not, and it does not involve party relations......

Everyone knew that today was for her birthday, she shared the cake in the spotlight, the glass lamp behind her was lit for her, and the fireworks above her head bloomed for her.

This is the first time she has enjoyed this kind of attention in her 65 years as a woman.

Rong Xianghua could feel the old palm holding her trembling, and in the sound of fireworks exploding, she seemed to vaguely hear the old lady muttering: "Today next year, I will still come here." ”

-

The fireworks show is over and the feast is over.

The Cui family was sending off guests, Rong Zhao stood in the crowd, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she clearly heard the voices-

"If the old man wants to hold a birthday banquet in Fuluzhuang, he will come here at his own expense."

"Hey, I thought there was no need to spend all this money on a banquet in Zhuangzi, but now it seems that it is really worth it! Someone will be sent to make a reservation tomorrow. ”

"But don't you see tomorrow, haven't you seen that many people have already gone to manage Fuluzhuang?"

"If I can be as beautiful as Mrs. Cui, I will die without regrets."

"Look at Mrs. Cui, it seems that everyone is young all of a sudden, if I don't get that cake on my birthday, I won't follow it."

……

Her smile grew more genuine.

The first shot was fired, and the next step depends on the meeting with the four princes tomorrow.

And she was always confident.

Anyone who hears these voices of discussion can imagine that after this Fuluzhuang birthday banquet, Fuluzhuang will only be more prosperous, and then look at the shocked expressions of those people with wide-eyed eyes, it is conceivable that the discussion in Beijing will only be worse tomorrow!

Fuluzhuang has become a popular trend.

Zhang Changyan cautiously leaned over and lowered his voice: "I arrested the troublemaker, you deal with it secretly, don't make a big fuss, otherwise my father will definitely know that I have a problem." ”

Rong Zhao retracted his thoughts and bowed his head: "Naturally, Brother Zhang is dedicated to Fuluzhuang, how can I not know what to do?" ”

Such a spy who was caught, even if she wanted to do anything, she couldn't do it.

She took the spy to report to the official that Zhang Chengxiang had harmed her, or impeached Zhang Chengxiang, and someone believed her?

I'm afraid that she will be accused of slander by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and others.

Rong Zhao is not stupid.

She smiled sincerely: "Brother Zhang, Fuluzhuang will probably have a large amount of money today, and we will be able to pay the first dividend next month, and Brother Zhang will definitely be able to get a lot of silver taels." ”

When Zhang Changyan heard this, he immediately smiled.

Rong Zhao's smile remained unchanged: "Therefore, Fuluzhuang still needs Brother Zhang to continue to worry about it in the future." ”

Zhang Changyan: "That's nature. ”

Thinking of the recent prosperity of Fuluzhuang, thinking of the white silver, he looked at Rong Zhao's eyes with unprecedented affection.

- This Rong Shizi really regards him as a brother!

Yu Guang noticed that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was about to get into the carriage, and he hurriedly said: "Rong Shizi, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it, and don't let people hurt me Fuluzhuang." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly went to find Prime Minister Zhang and followed the two brothers into the carriage.

After Prime Minister Zhang Cheng entered the carriage, his face was a little worried.

"The influence of this Fuluzhuang is even greater than I imagined, and it is a great pity that I did not destroy the banquet of Fuluzhuang today." He looked at Zhang Changxing, "Second brother, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Changxing looked confused: "I don't know, the child has really been laid out a long time ago, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be a problem." ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's face darkened: "But something did go wrong!" ”

Zhang Changzhi: "Could it be that Rong Zhao is very well defended?" ”

There seems to be only one explanation......

It can't be that the news is leaked in advance, right? The only four of them knew about it, they were all members of the Zhang family, how could they leak the news?

Zhang Changxing rolled his eyes and comforted his father: "Father, let's still think about how to attack the sick seedling tomorrow, he can guard against it at the banquet, but how will he deal with this rumor?" ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zhang's face really looked better.

His afterglow noticed Zhang Changyan, who didn't speak after getting into the car, although the other party didn't speak, his face was red and seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhang Cheng became angry immediately, and scolded: "You can't make a thing, just eat and drink and be happy!" You don't look at Na Rong Zhao, who was originally inferior to you, but it has only been a long time, and many people have praised him for doing a good job in Fuluzhuang! ”

Zhang Changyan: "......"

- He is so aggrieved.

Of course, he is not happy because he eats and drinks, but because Fuluzhuang is good, and he is also one of the owners of Fuluzhuang!

Among those voices praising Fuluzhuang, there should be him forty percent!

Zhang San was very aggrieved, but Zhang San didn't dare to say it.

He thought, bear with it a little longer.

Wait for his Fuluzhuang to be better, and when his father gives up on Fuluzhuang, he will be able to show his identity and let the whole capital know - that Fuluzhuang also has his share.

Zhang San shrunk his neck and carried out "patience before success".

At the same time, they pricked up their ears and were highly vigilant, bound to defend their "success".

-

Day 2.

Rong Zhao is about to go out for an appointment.

Rong Ping had been waiting for a day, he was sitting in the hall, drinking tea casually, his nerves were always paying attention to the movement outside, and when he heard Rong Zhao's footsteps, he instantly became serious.

Rong Zhao is wearing a dark brocade dress today, she is a woman dressed as a man, although she also has the beauty of wearing dark colors, but with her bearing, it will not make people suspect that she is a woman.

Right now, she still needs men's clothes.

"The child has seen his father." Rong Zhao saluted.

Rong Ping picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea: "Hmm." ”

Rong Zhao smiled: "If the father is fine, the child will go to the appointment, and the time is not early." ”

Rong Ping couldn't calm down for an instant, and his eyes widened: "What are you going to use to pay off the debt?" If I'm not mistaken, you only have 10,000 taels on you now, right? ”

Rong Zhao looked calm: "The 10,000 taels is the income of Fuluzhuang, and it is still in the account room of Fuluzhuang for the time being." ”

Rongping: "??? ”

He raised his voice in disbelief: "And how much money do you have?" ”

Rong Zhao stretched out a hand and was very frank: "Five taels of silver." ”

Screen: "......"

He gasped, almost suspecting that he had misheard.

Five taels of silver......

Rong Zhao is having dinner with the four princes in Deshunxuan today, the price of Deshunxuan is extremely high, these five taels of silver, I am afraid that I can't order a table of dishes in Deshunxuan!

- This girl didn't even bring money for food, she was sure that the four princes would settle the bill for her?

Rongping is not good.

He raised his hand and clutched it to his chest.

Rong Zhao saluted: "Father, the child will retire first." ”

With that, she turned and left.

Rong Ping reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Hey, wait! ”

Seeing that Rong Zhao and the little girl's backs had disappeared, he grabbed the box next to him and stuffed it into Xie Hong's hand: "There are 40,000 taels here, you hurry up and keep up with the world, and if you need it later, you can take it out." It's too late, I only made up so much for the time being, let the four princes give some time, and this king will pay it back. ”

Xie Hong was stunned, and quickly took the box and went to chase Rong Zhao.

- The prince also said that he didn't care, obviously because he was afraid that the prince would not be able to pay the money.

When Xie Hong chased out the door, Rong Zhao's carriage had already left, and he could only take another carriage to chase him, but he was a step too late, and he didn't hand over the box to Shizi before entering Deshunxuan.

-

The four princes have already arrived.

There was no way, as the creditors who collected the money, the four princes couldn't wait even more, and before noon, they all waited in Deshunxuan's private room early.

No one noticed that the atmosphere of Deshunxuan was very different today.

Zhang Changxing and Zhang Changyan secretly stayed in the corner of the lobby, waiting for Rong Zhao to end the meeting with the four princes, and immediately released "rumors" to attack Rong Zhao.

Prince Le looked out of the window, and the pedestrians below were hurrying, and occasionally he could hear the sound of discussion.

He sighed: "There is talk of fireworks last night everywhere outside, and they all say that they are sacred objects, which are very extraordinary." ”

Prince Lu poured a cup of tea, and sighed: "Fireworks are very unique, but they have no practical use, they don't know, the wine and food on the banquet in Fulu Village are a must." ”

He turned his head and asked Prince Rong: "Second brother, your chef is the most powerful, how are you doing?" ”

Prince Rong shook his head: "It's just average, some dishes are okay, and some dishes are good, not good." ”

Prince Le also sighed: "The chef in my house is also very ordinary, I'm afraid there are still some tricks in this, you need to start from Fuluzhuang and get the recipe." ”

Prince Lu shook his head: "Fangzi is the foundation of Fulu Village, Rong Zhao will definitely guard it to the death, let a few of their cooks communicate with each other, and we will bring them again at the next banquet, and we can always imitate them." ”

Prince Rong pursed his lips, and also recalled last night's food, "Except for the dishes, the cake is completely imitable, and the chef who Rong Zhao offered a reward of 100,000 taels has some skills." ”

Prince Le: "I can always think of a way to imitate it." ”

Prince Rong nodded: "Yes, sooner or later, I can think of a way, I have eaten the dishes of Fuluzhuang, and I am not tasteless when I eat the things in my own house now." ”

Prince Yu, who was already a little irritable, was said to be greedy by them, and said impatiently: "Why hasn't this Rong Shizi come yet?" The little prince actually asked the four princes to wait for him, and this king is hungry! What a big face! ”

Prince Le suggested: "Otherwise, if we serve the food first, I will be hungry too." ”

At this time, it was time to eat, and the four of them were a little hungry.

Just as they were ordering food, a voice sounded: "Four Uncle Wang, the little nephew is late, please forgive Uncle Wang!" ”

After speaking, a thin figure stepped into the private room, her face was like a crown of jade, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.

She was carrying a pot of wine in her hand, the corners of her clothes were slightly swaying with gold edges, and she walked slowly, her eyes smiling, bottomless.

The four of them were slightly stunned.

- Such a light and indifferent breeze, did you have the confidence to pay back the money at that time?

There was only one round table in the private room, and there were five stools, and only one remained, which was obviously reserved for Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao raised his hand and saluted, and then naturally put the wine jug on the table, straightened his sleeves, and sat down.

That action, as if their relationship was extremely affectionate, there was no need to be polite.

Prince Rong touched his stomach and snorted coldly.

Prince Yu was even more lazy to say, and stretched out his hand directly: "Since Rong Shizi is here, let's pay back the money first, we all have IOUs." ”
