The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

498: Confrontation This is the first time Zijin sees Mrs. Dong. She wears a lake blue jacket covered with gold and flowers, a rose-purple hook with a silver border and folded branches and flowers, a horse-face skirt, and a red gold plum blossom hairpin inlaid with precious stones in her hair. , the side is bright and shining, so rich and noble.

Compared to Mrs. Dong, Zi Jin is wearing a plain long-sleeved gown and an ivory white skirt with thread. Although it is plain, there are patterns flowing faintly, and the brilliance is suddenly revealed in her actions.She didn't wear expensive and large jewelry in her hair, but the complicated cloud bun was dotted with golden pearls, like stars.Pearls are not rare, but golden pearls are extremely rare, especially the ones with the same head and the same size are hard to find.Zijin's attire, although not as rich and dazzling as Mrs. Dong's, is noble, elegant and calm, and immediately distinguishes between superior and inferior.

Madam Dong felt a little embarrassed when she saw Zi Jin's attire, thinking that she was extremely wealthy and could always give people a visual advantage.Never thought that Zijin would be dressed so casually, but she would be compared to her.Mrs. Dong knew that she had really encountered a tough bone today, and if she didn't do well, she would break her teeth.

"Ms. Dong, a civilian woman, has met the princess." Mrs. Dong stepped forward to salute after Zi Jin was seated. She was quite generous, her tone was crisp, and she had the shrewd and capable air of a businessman.

Zi Jin smiled and said, "Madam Dong, please get up and sit down."

Zi Jin's voice was flat, without any emotion or fluctuation.Mrs. Dong suddenly felt a little confused, she quickly smiled and thanked Zi Jin, then took a small box that had just been placed on the table in her hand, and said: "I know that the princess is not short of anything, and there is nothing in this box. What a precious thing, it's just some fresh-looking jewelry brought by the women from the south, and I hope the princess will like it."

"There is a saying that if you don't get rewarded for your merits, Mrs. Dong is too polite." Zi Jin flatly refused.

Mrs. Dong looked at Zi Jin without looking at it, and directly refused, with a thump in her heart.But after all, I have seen the world, and then said with a smile: "The princess is really admirable and admirable, and the women are very admired. If this is the case, the women will not go around in circles. I am a rough person and I will speak the truth. If the words are inappropriate , please don’t blame the princess.”

He is a smart person, and he left room for himself first in his words.But Zijin can't let her have leeway, if she has leeway, she will be stretched.Looking at Mrs. Dong with a half-smile, she said slowly, "Madam really likes to joke. Jinrui Trading Company has countless north and south semicolons. Madam is used to seeing the world, so what's wrong? Those of us who don't go out easily will have little vision A little bit."

Sweat was faintly visible on Mrs. Dong's forehead, she became a little nervous, and said with a nasty smile: "Princess, congratulations, congratulations. I don't dare to be a housewife. We are just small businessmen who make a living. How can we do it?" To be compared with the princess, absolutely dare not, absolutely dare not."

Zi Jin smiled lightly and stopped talking.

Madam Dong saw that Zijin stopped talking, but she thought to herself: "I never thought that Princess Luoyi could be so sharp-tongued and prudent in her actions at such a young age. Not at all." Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong is really in a bit of a dilemma. Zi Jin obviously has no intention of cooperating with the Dong family, and people like Princess Luoyi probably don't want money. It's easier to say just for money.

Because if it was for money, she would not have blocked her words to death.Unable to figure out what Zi Jin wanted, Mrs. Dong didn't dare to rush in for a while, so she had to talk about some interesting things in the mall, hoping to win Zi Jin's favor first, and then slowly figure it out.

Zi Jin was not in a hurry, no one could eat a fat man with one bite, if she was too warm at the beginning, the Dong family would be scared away instead.After all, if you want to get information about Mrs. Jing Mi and A Ruo from the Dong family, you can't be in a hurry. If you are too hasty, you may make the other party vigilant.

Mrs. Dong chatted with Zijin, the more she chatted, the more frightened she became. She was willing to talk about things outside of the city because Zijin was young and had never been out of the capital. She must be very surprised.This knew that no matter what she said, wherever she went, Zijin could chat a few words, and it didn't seem like she didn't know anything about the local affairs.

Mrs. Dong would be lying if she wasn't alarmed, and she became more and more uncertain about what kind of person Zi Jin was.After a long circle, the topic finally came to Hei Jinxiao. Mrs. Dong said: "...This was a chance encounter. I never thought that the family had such craftsmanship. When I saw it, I even saw it. It was a pleasant surprise, and it was only then that the heart of love for talents began to recruit under Dong's family. It took more than two years to weave these eleven bolts of black and gold satin. I thought that no one in this world could see the preciousness of this satin. I didn’t expect it to be a commoner’s woman sitting in a well watching the sky, her knowledge is superficial, and the princess’s piercing eyes can see through it at a glance, which really surprises us and admires us.”

Zijin talked with Mrs. Dong for a long time, but felt that Mrs. Dong really didn't have the vulgar spirit of ordinary businessmen.He is also a person who is proficient in words, and should have read a few books.Hearing her words, he smiled softly and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a coincidence."

Hearing Zijin's words blocked the matter again, Mrs. Dong was really anxious, she gritted her teeth after thinking about it and said: "The black gold silk is indeed just borrowing some craftsmanship from the fluorescent satin as the princess said, but It is far less than one-tenth of the elegance of the lost fluorescent satin. The woman is a businessman and specializes in fabrics. She is really... really eager to know if the princess has this long-lost formula in her hands. If there is, please ask the princess to make a condition, and the Dong family is willing to exchange with you."

Zi Jin raised her eyebrows and finally got into the substantive content. The corner of her mouth curled slightly, and then she said slowly, "Oh? I don't know what the Dong family wants to exchange?"

Madam Dong's eyes lit up, she didn't expect Zi Jin to have this formula, she was very excited.If the long-lost fluorescent satin is reappeared in this world, I don't know how much gold and silver it will earn.Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at Zi Jin and said solemnly: "I would like to ask the princess to set a price, as long as the Dong family can afford it, it will be absolutely unambiguous."

"If you can afford it, you can afford it. I'm afraid the Dong family doesn't have the guts." Zi Jin looked serious, waved her hand, and all the maids serving in the flower hall immediately avoided.

Mrs. Dong frowned, she couldn't figure out what Zi Jin wanted for a while, but she still said firmly: "Please tell the princess, the little lady is really stupid."

Zijin looked at Mrs. Dong with fixed eyes and a solemn expression, and said, "I do have the formula of fluorescent satin in my hand. I heard that there is an embroidery workshop under your Dong family. I also have several rare ones here." Embroidery stitches."

Mrs. Dong felt that she couldn't breathe for a while, and what the businessman paid most attention to was what others didn't have.All the brilliance of a top-notch embroidery must come from the special stitches. Girls have to learn female reds when they are young. When it comes to fabrics, Madam Dong knows more about female reds.Hearing Zi Jin's words, my heart was full of turmoil, and I gritted my teeth and said: "It seems that the princess went to Jinrui Trading Company by chance, but I don't know what our merchant's house can do to help the princess."

"You don't need to sacrifice your life. Don't worry about that. What I need is for you to let go of your hands." Zi Jin said.

Mrs. Dong looked at Zi Jin, her heart tightened, she gave a dry laugh, and suddenly understood what Zi Jin wanted, her face turned pale, and she almost couldn't sit still, but she still said: "The women don't know the princess's intentions." mean."

"I don't know?" Zijin smiled sarcastically, her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and she said with concentration: "Mrs. Dong, I think you should understand the fact that although the Dong family has climbed to Lewang Mansion, have you ever thought about it?" In other words, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, this is not Lezhou, but Kyoto."

"What is the princess talking about, we are businessmen with our own duties, and we dare not do things that violate the law." Mrs. Dong said pretending to be calm, but she was terrified in her heart. She didn't know when this living Hades would stare at them The Dong family was uneasy and worried for a while.He has also been in the capital for many years, so he naturally knows Zi Jin's reputation, this one is really difficult, maybe there will be some thunderous means to punish the Dong family.

"Don't dare to say a word!" Zijin laughed mockingly, "Madam Dong can go back, don't talk too much. Madam can think about it after she goes back. If I, the King of Hades, wants to attack Jinrui Trading Company, what do you say? Le Wang will fight against this princess because of your small business firm? If it is a princess, I will be fine, but don't forget that there is a military commander behind me, Pingbeihou of Megatron Border Pass , the Minister of the Dynasty. Even if King Le wants to touch me... Heh heh, he has to go through these few hurdles first."

Mrs. Dong stood up in a daze, looked at Zi Jin in a daze, and after a long time managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, "The women don't know much about what the princess said, and they have to discuss it with me, please. The Princess has a few days of grace."

Zijin stretched out a finger, "Only one day, no waiting for expiration date."

Mrs. Dong is a cunning person. Since she delivered the letter for Mrs. Jing Mi, she naturally knew what Yi Ronghua would do on the Mid-Autumn Festival. She asked herself to allow a few more days, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, and the daylily was cold. up.Mrs. Dong's cunning still surprised Zijin, but Yao Zijin is not a vegetarian. It was the first time for her to do the bully's bow, but...it felt good.

Seeing Mrs. Dong's extremely pale face, Zi Jin's smile became more calm.If you want to fight her, you must be prepared to bear inhuman blows.

Not long after Mrs. Dong left, Ye Mingxuan came back from the office, Zijin told the story, and the two went to see Pingbeihou hand in hand.At this time, Pingbeihou's injury was [-]% healed, but he was still pretending to be sick just to confuse the enemy.Du Manqiu was also surprised, except that he took care of Chu Xiangyu's child in the Hou's mansion, and never asked Pingbei Hou to return to the Hou's mansion.It must be known that Ping Beihou's current injury is not immovable, and Zi Jin can't figure out Du Manqiu's mind now, but Zi Jin is happy to see this situation now, and everyone has thought about a peaceful life.It's not so peaceful now, I wish Du Manqiu wouldn't make trouble.

After listening to the words of the two of Zijin and Zijin, Marquis Pingbei rubbed his chin to think about it, then raised his eyes to look at them, "Do you think the Dong family will surrender?"

"It's hard to say. After all, the Dong family has to make a choice between Le Wang and us. Zi Jin lures them for profit, and fears them for power. I hope they will not be stubborn. If they really don't know how to praise, then we will There is no need to exist in the capital anymore, if we can't control the communication between Ah Ruo, Mrs. Jing Mi and Le Wang, then we must drive out of the capital, and we must not leave any future troubles." Ye Mingxuan's expression was determined, and at this time any soft heart It will lead to subversion of the future results, he can't be careless and soft-hearted.Isn't it funny that you have to talk about benevolence, justice and morality when others have put a knife on your neck?

Ping Beihou is also the master of killing and decisively, nodded, "You can do it as you see, you can transfer my subordinates at will. In an emergency, although we don't want their lives, we must not let them become our life-threatening enemy."

It is the most instinctive counterattack of all generals to nip danger in the bud.At this time, Zi Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, because life and death struggles cannot be said to be kind.In the confrontation again and again, Zijin felt that her heart was getting harder and harder, but after all, Pingbeihou and Mingxuan still had human nature, and they didn't want the Dong family's life, but just drove them out of the capital.

While discussing here, the atmosphere in the Dong family is also tense.The Dong family faced each other, both frowning, neither King Le nor Princess Luoyi could be offended by them.A small Dong family really seemed to be roasted on the fire at this time.

"My lord, what should we do?" Mrs. Dong was very anxious. Although they were imperial merchants, they were still merchants after all. How could they stand against these dignitaries.

"What to do, what to do, I just want to know. You can't offend the left side, and dare not offend the right side. At the beginning, I regretted that I shouldn't get on the line with Le Wang, and now I am in a dilemma." Master Dong regretted endlessly. Money is important, but he is dead. What do you want that money for?

Mrs. Dong looked at her husband, gritted her teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, let's go back to our hometown, it's better than throwing our lives here."

"Go home? Can we go back? Is it the king's land that is so big in the world, if people move their fingers, there is no way for us to retreat."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?"

The couple fell into silence. After a long time, Mr. Dong stood up and strode out. Mrs. Dong hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?"

"You can't just sit and wait for death." Master Dong left behind these words and strode away. Madam Dong's chest was heaving, her face was ashen, and there was a slight sadness between her brows that couldn't be wiped away.

The [-]-word update is complete, and we will continue tomorrow, I love you all!
