The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 287 Marshal Zhao

Jin Yang followed Xuan Shijing's gaze and found Marshal Zhao.

"Brother Jing, wasn't that man Marshal Zhao who stunned the assassin for you on the Xuanwu Lake painting boat that day?" Jin Yang said.

"Well, indeed, he is worthy of being the son of the richest man in Chang'an City. He spends money like water. A piece of jewelry that was originally worth two or three hundred guan at most, is worth five hundred at a price. It doesn't feel bad at all." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Brother Jing, after all, he helped us on the boat, should we go down and meet him?" Jin Yang asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Okay."

Speaking of Marshal Zhao, Xuan Shijing asked Gao Jun to investigate him after he was painting a boat in Xuanwu Lake.

Marshal Zhao, the son of Zhao Baishun, the richest man in Chang'an City, although he is not as bad as other wealthy children, his reputation for seeking flowers and willows is also the best in Chang'an City.

But you can't look at the surface when you look at people. Xuan Shijing sees it this way. Marshal Zhao is quite a courageous person, and he can be regarded as a knowledgeable person. Moreover, he is also very righteous.

At least that day on the painting boat, he stepped forward in a critical moment. No.

"Miss Bingyue, the princess and I are going to meet an old friend, so we will take our leave first." Xuan Shijing said.

Qin Bingyue had heard the conversation between the two just now, so she didn't say much, just nodded.

Xuan Shijing took Jinyang downstairs, and most of the people sitting on the second floor were noble families in Chang'an City. Although Marshal Zhao's family occupied the title of the richest man in Chang'an, in terms of status, he couldn't sit there. The one on the second floor found a good seat in the hall on the first floor, and started his life of hugging left and right.

"Brother Zhao, don't come here without any problems." Xuan Shijing smiled and greeted him.

As soon as Marshal Zhao saw that it was Xuan Shijing, he quickly let go of the woman in his arms and got up to greet him: "Your Majesty." In a blink of an eye, he saw Jin Yang who was following Xuan Shijing again, and hurriedly wanted to salute.

Xuan Shijing quickly supported Marshal Zhao, and whispered in his ear: "Wanwu reveals the identity of the princess."

Marshal Zhao thought about it carefully, only to realize that he was reckless, and hurriedly bowed his hands in greeting.

"Master Zhao doesn't need to be so polite. Brother Jing and I came here today to thank Mr. Zhao for his help on the boat." Jin Yang said with a smile.

"It turns out that this matter, Mr. Li, don't take it to heart. If there was no Lord Hou to protect us that day, I would have died in the hands of the assassins. The situation was critical that day, so we should help each other." As unbearable as the outside rumors say, whether it's his own temperament or the tone of his speech, apart from the meaning of indulgence, more, it is indeed gentle and refined.

Or maybe it's because he couldn't lose his manners in front of Jin Yang.

Several people on the boat that day found out about each other's identities after the incident, especially Xuan Shijing, Jinyang and Gao Huanquan, who had the most special identities among all the people. Tang, the name of the crown prince does not seem to be of much use to the nobles and rich people in Chang'an
The most taboo among them is Princess Jinyang and Lord Dongshan who are deeply loved by His Majesty today.

"Master Hou, Mr. Li, if you don't mind, how about sitting here?" Marshal Zhao warmly invited.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, although on the third floor you can have a panoramic view of the audience, but how can it compare to the fun of being there in person.

Xuan Shijing complied, and Jin Yang naturally sat beside Xuan Shijing. Seeing this, Marshal Zhao waved his hand, and asked the two accompanying women to step back. In front of Princess Jinyang, no matter how much he left Hugging right is obviously very impolite.

After such a short delay, the pair of earrings from Byzantium in the West were already offered at a price of [-] guan. Chang'an City has never been short of rich people.

After six hundred crowns, Marshal Zhao didn't increase the price. Originally, he bought this jewelry just to impress the beauties around him. Since someone was willing to pay a higher price, he didn't follow suit. The marshal still didn't mind.

"Xuanhou, I heard that you organized the auction of this Yanlai Building?" Marshal Zhao took the opportunity to ask.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, but it's not really organized by me, it should be said that it was organized by the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce. Apart from part of the things that are being auctioned today, they are funded by the Houfu, and more of them are from Chang'an City." donated by some good people."

"Xuanhou, look, I want to donate [-] yuan to Liaodong on behalf of my father, can Xuanhou make it easier for my younger brother?" Marshal Zhao said.

Five thousand crowns is not a small sum of money in the eyes of outsiders. Even in the houses of Li Tai and Li Ke, it is a large sum of money, but for the richest man in Chang'an, it is just his son going to Yanlailou It was nothing more than seeing the price of the top card twice. Marshal Zhao and his father Zhao Baishun didn't pay attention to this amount of money. Spending money to gain a good name for themselves is also a good deal.

"Okay, even if Brother Zhao doesn't come to me, just go to Xuanwulou to find people from the Jinyang Foundation, and they can still handle it properly for Brother Zhao. The Jinyang Foundation is just a non-governmental charity organization established Forget it, there are no other requirements or thresholds, so Brother Zhao, just do it." Xuan Shijing explained.

It seems that about Jinyang Fund, there are still many people who have never really understood the meaning of its existence.

However, Xuan Shijing really hopes that more rich people like Marshal Zhao will support the Jinyang Foundation. In the name of charity, he did some shady things. In Datang, Xuan Shijing wanted to make money. He had methods, knowledge, connections, and backgrounds.

The auction in Yanlai Tower was in full swing, and in the hall on the first floor of Xuanwulou, all the materials were packed and recorded, and they were just waiting for the carriage to be delivered when Li Chengqian set off tomorrow morning.

In one night, Marshal Zhao bought a set of glass cups from the Western Regions at the auction, a fist-sized agate and jade, both of which were rare items. The consistent price topped the list for tonight's charity auction.

When Marshal Zhao came here, he really wanted to make a name for his company, and when he came, Dongshanhou and Princess Jinyang were sitting next to him, and he also had a hint of wanting to make friends with Xuan Shijing.

By the time the auction in Yanlai Building ended, it was already late at night. When they came to the third floor, Qin Bingyue had already prepared food and was waiting for Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang, and Qin Yuxin was busy sending the guests away After that, we also went to the third floor.

Pushing open the door, Qin Yuxin walked into the room and saw Xuan Shijing, Jinyang and Qin Bingyue having a meal, she couldn't help laughing and said: "The slave family has presided over such a big place for so long because of Lord Hou. I haven't even drank a sip of water, Lord Hou, you feel at ease here."
