Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 129
However, no matter how noble you are, you also have to consider the current reality: Zhao's mansion is on the verge of collapse, and they are running around, trying to win over contacts, and those political opponents who don't like him. .

This back and forth requires a lot of silver to be stuffed into it like running water.

And Master Yuan is a persevering person, he never wanted to take back the olive branch he handed over.

The old lady who was in crisis also calmed down, and began to think about how to turn the tide.

And Zhao Ziyi was demoted because of Shen Mu, and was depressed all day long, not to mention marrying a merchant girl, even Xu Yunjiao, who chased him around for three days, never gave a smile.

The old lady cast her eyes on the second child.

The second child has never been favored, failed in literature and martial arts, and against the background of the talented eldest son, he looks even more mediocre.

So together with Yuan's father, the fifteen-year-old Yuan married Zhao Erye.

This is a marriage of exchange of interests, but it can be called a perfect match.

The Yuan family brought a generous dowry and indirectly helped the Zhao family to tide over the difficulties.

After the Zhao family got over the difficulties, they used their contacts in the court to secretly help the Yuan family's business.

In addition, Mrs. Yuan himself has excellent business talent, but in the past ten years, he has already controlled more than half of the shops in the capital.

Gradually, the old lady gradually recognized the Yuan family.

It's just a fly in the ointment. A woman like Yuan Shi who was born in a merchant family has only interests in her heart and only cares about making money. The business is getting better and better, but the relationship with her husband is getting weaker and weaker.

This marriage was originally a product of pure interests.

Seeing that the husband and wife were strangers, the old lady felt ashamed in her heart, so she could only turn a blind eye to Yuan's behavior of showing her face all day long and not letting go of the account book.

Now I want her to go and tell Yuan Shi: "Second Wife, Dawei needs relief food now, so donate the rice shop in your hand."

Although the Yuan family will definitely give it, it just seems that Zhao's family is too ugly: I married into your family to pave the way for you?
Zhao Xi sorted out the context slightly, and understood the old lady's difficulties very well.

When the old lady saw that she seemed to have realized something, she thought that she had been persuaded by herself, and continued while the iron was hot: "It just so happens that you and the prince have met face-to-face, and he has taken care of you to some extent. It is very appropriate to arrange you to be this middleman."

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Ziyi and winked: "Xuan'er, what do you think?"

"Wei'er, grandma is right." Zhao Ziyi nodded, secretly admiring her mother: in just a few words, state affairs and family affairs were gently woven together.

Zhao Xiwei thought for a while before asking: "So what grandma and father mean is that let me represent our Zhao family and have a good talk with the crown prince."

"Yes." The old lady stretched her eyebrows, and cast a triumphant look at her son: Look, how good this child is at comprehension!
Zhao Ziyi seemed a little gloomy in comparison, he coughed slightly, and said solemnly: "Wei'er, not only talk to the prince, you also have to try your best to win a favorable situation for yourself, and you can't let him gain the upper hand."

The implication is that he is the one who is at fault for the hot spring pool. You have to let him be responsible to the end, and you can't back down.

What Zhao Xiwei thought in his heart was: Father didn't want Yuan to lose too much money.

She nodded and said in a very serious tone: "Father, don't worry, I will try my best to get the compensation I deserve."

The old lady gasped lightly with a "hiss", and exchanged a glance with Zhao Ziyi.

Zhao Ziyi felt very relieved: "Wei'er, remember, no matter what time you have, you have your father to support you. Even if he is the prince of a country, father can't let him bully you."

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat again.

Isn't it just to discuss the rice shop with the prince?Why did my father say this as if he wanted a sheep to go into the mouth of a tiger...

But when he thought of Li Xuanye's majestic and coercive aura, he somewhat understood his father's attitude.

is not that right?That is a tiger.

Zhao Xiwei withdrew his last doubts, and had no objection to this meeting. He only thought that disaster relief is a major matter for the family and the country, and there is no need to delay, so he asked some precautions in detail, and he looked as stable as Mount Tai. .

The old lady was very happy to see it.

After Zhao Xiwei left, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard for her to face such a thing at such a young age, but her expression hasn't changed at all. If it was any other woman, it would have been known by all. !"

He nodded again and again, admiringly said: "With a thunder in his chest and a face like a flat lake, sister Wei is indeed a child who can accomplish great things."

Seeing that Zhao Ziyi's face was still gloomy, she persuaded her again: "You don't have to be too distressed. With Miss Wei's qualifications, if she is only suitable for an ordinary man, wouldn't it be a waste of her talent."

Zhao Ziyi sighed helplessly: "I understand what mother said, but you don't know that the prince's temperament is not as cold as your majesty today. My son said something presumptuous to my mother in private. His majesty is so benevolent and affectionate today that he can't keep a Queen Gu, so the prince is like this." Indifferent and ruthless, and Wei'er was forced to sit beside him, I'm afraid the future is not optimistic."

The old lady was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Whether it's a blessing or a misfortune, it's her fate. I just hope that Mrs. Shen knows it, and bless this child from bad luck to good luck, so that her life will be smoother in the future."

When Zhao Xiwei returned to the Rose Garden, it was already the beginning of Haishi, and the drizzle was continuous. The crickets hid in the grass in the corner, and at that time the high and low chirps were especially clear in the winter night.

This day, he was busy running around, and his body was extremely tired, but Zhao Xiwei loved cleaning very much, and insisted on the habit of taking a bath every day.

Several maidservants brought in hot water. She didn't like being served close to her when she was taking a bath, so she untied her clothes and handed them to Pearl. She half-lyed in the bathtub. The temperature of the hot water was just right, and a little coarse salt and roses were added to the water. The faint aroma of dried flowers hits, completely relaxing the muscles and bones of the whole body.

Feeling tired, Zhao Xiwei half-closed his eyes and decided to soak in the water for a while.

Pearl suddenly whispered from outside the curtain: "Ah."

Zhao Xiwei asked, "What's wrong?"

Through the curtain, Pearl's voice was a little panicked: "Miss, this servant accidentally dropped your jade pendant."

"What?" Zhao Xiwei woke up all of a sudden, and hurriedly said, "Did you break it?"

That is Li Xuanye's jade pendant. He said that if it is damaged a little, it will be a death penalty!

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Xiwei stepped out of the bathtub with a splash.

Pearl hurriedly said, "It didn't break, but luckily it fell on the carpet."

Zhao Xiwei put on the middle coat nimbly, grabbed a long jacket and put it on his body, and came out from the inside.
