Wang listened to the conversation between Lin Haozhi and his son for a long time, and the more he listened, the more confused he became. The old and the young talked about family affairs in front of outsiders without any ambiguity, and this matter also related to his own head.

Cui Xi reminded: "My lord, since this lord is back, you should make it clear to him if you have anything to do."

After hearing this, Lin Haozhi stood up, turned around and went to the wing to pick up his things.Taking advantage of the time, Cui Xi introduced to Wang Pang: "My lord, this is my son Lin Zheng. Regardless of his young age, he is also good at both civil and martial arts." When he said that, his praise was beyond words.

Lin Zheng hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't dare to be, dare not be. The lord is famous. I have heard about the lord from my father since I was a child. Don't praise me in front of the lord, but the lord is the savior of my family. Today What happened made the prince laugh."

"It's nothing, it's normal to have some disputes between father and son, but you have a big temper, aren't you afraid of being unfilial when you contradict the old man? Haha?" Wang Pang asked with a smile. [

Lin Zheng blushed: "I also know that this is not good, but my father just doesn't want to part with this Qingfeng Building. I let him close it because I want him to live a peaceful life in his old age."

"At ease? This Qingfeng Building has been here for so many years, how can I feel at ease when I let go of it all at once?" Lin Haozhi came out from the wing room, holding a wooden box in both hands, the wooden box looked heavy. "However, since the prince is back, I really feel relieved."

As he spoke, he put the wooden box on the table, turned to Cui Xi and said, "Go outside and watch, don't let anyone in, I have some private words to tell the prince."

Cui Xi agreed, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Lin Haozhi turned his head and said to Lin Zheng: "Sit down too, haven't you been asking all these years: Why do I earn so much, but still refuse to accept it? Today I will tell you..." He said Then he opened the box, and inside were neatly stacked gold ingots.

There are more than a dozen gold ingots in this box, and one gold ingot is about 30 taels, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wealth of Wanguan's family if it is converted into coins.

"This is almost the savings of the past ten years, and there are some silver notes under the gold."

Wang Pang glanced at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng just glanced at the box and stopped looking at it. For a moment, he frowned slightly, as if he was very disdainful of the origin of the gold and silver here.This person is somewhat upright, but Lin Haozhi is not a treacherous person, and he must have his own reasons for insisting on Qingfenglou for so many years.

"The reason why you have made so much money these years is to know the origin of Qingfeng Building. Back then, my father made a mistake and almost lost his life. Thanks to the prince, he saved his life. Prince, do you still remember what happened before you disappeared? ?”

For Lin Haozhi, this happened more than ten years ago, but for Wang Pang, these things just happened not long ago.Wang Pang nodded: "Of course I remember!"

"Hehe, it's good to remember. Back then, I wanted to give up the management of my father's Manchun Garden and come to the capital to do garden repairs by myself. But we have no connections after all, and it's not easy to get along. Fortunately, the prince took care of us, so we ended up with a small surplus. At that time, I was going to go back to Hangzhou. The prince and I had a private agreement to help me open the Manchun Garden in the capital. Of course, making money is secondary. In these places of entertainment, you can secretly know the private behavior of some officials."

Lin Zheng was the first to hear these things, and he glanced at Wang in confusion.

Lin Haozhi also saw Lin Zheng's confusion, and he explained: "You just entered the officialdom, so you don't know, many things are not as grand as those in the court. The official who took off the court uniform, like changing his face, immediately realized It’s out of shape. Especially for those who are addicted to wine, sex and wealth, we are not in this business to harm others. It is just to protect ourselves!"

"So, daddy has been insisting on running the Qingfenglou just for the prince's plan?" Lin Zhengwu listened to Lin Haozhi's words.

"you can say it this way……"

Hearing this, Wang Pang felt warm in his heart. He was even more moved by the kindness he had shown to others back then, and the repayment he received from others today.

Lin Zheng seemed to be still puzzled: "But, back then, it was said that the prince was dead, so why is dad still insisting?"

Lin Haozhi smiled, and he stretched out his hand to "touch" the box, and a hidden compartment was stretched out from the side, and a booklet was placed in the compartment. "My lord, look at..."

Lin Zheng hurriedly got up and took the booklet, and handed it to Wang Bang with both hands.Wang Pang took the booklet and opened it, and it was densely written in small letters on it, who came here in a certain month and spent how much for the banquet; who met whom in a certain month in a certain year, and what confidential things were said. [

"This booklet is extremely important. Look, my lord, I have memorized so much. If I write about it casually, I probably won't be able to put it down long ago." Lin Haozhi smiled and continued: "I When I answered the question back in the capital, I was also very sad to hear the sad news of the prince. But at that time, I thought, the prince is gone, but your father’s New Deal must be carried out. I seem to take this matter as the prince’s behest. As a result I opened this restaurant "prostitute" shop, originally I wanted to find a chance to give these things to your father. But you know your father's temper, he doesn't even bother to see these things, let alone believe what is said above. "

"Haha..." Looking at Lin Haozhi's expression, Wang Pang could imagine that Wang Anshi was a famous stubborn husband, and Lin Haozhi must have run into trouble with him.

"However, the longer this restaurant "prostitute" has been open, and the more things I hear, the more I doubt whether the prince is cheating. You said, if you are sent out by the emperor, there will be no time to be with your family Let me tell you? Besides, just because of your official uniform, I can conclude that it is you, the prince. I don’t believe this anyway. Later, I slowly collected, hey, let me find evidence that you are not dead.”

"What evidence?" Wang Bang was also very curious.

"Do you know who the emperor sent to investigate the cause of your death and arrest the murderer? Qin Minxue! You know Qin Minxue's wife too?! She once complained to the sisters of the Golden Lotus Society about Qin Minxue being demoted because the investigation was unfavorable, and she said that the emperor deliberately let Qin Minxue go. Do it, just find an excuse for ineffectiveness."

It deserves it, Zhao Xu can do this to himself, let alone Qin Minxue, whom he loves. !Wang Pang slightly said: "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, presumably Qin Minxue should also learn some lessons."

"Isn't that right? But I dare not tell others about it. I wonder if the prince will come back one day. See if I guessed it right. Haha... Whoops!"

Lin Haozhi laughed twice, and hurriedly went to hold his chest again.Seeing his pale face, blue lips trembling slightly.

Wang Pang and Lin Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, Lin Haozhi waved his hands: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way!"

"Brother Lin, you have a heart attack, you should rest well. Now that I'm back, everything will be easy..."

"My heart disease can be cured with the prince's heart medicine..." Lin Haozhi said with a frown while waving his hands.

Wang Pang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Lin Zheng: "You go find a book called "Hejijufang". If I remember correctly, it was published in the first year of Yuanfeng, and there is a dose of "medicine ’It’s called Suhexiang Pills. It’s a honeyed pill made of styrax, benzoin, borneol, buffalo horn concentrated powder, musk, and other fifteen “medicines”. It should be kept on hand for your father to relieve this heart disease.”

After all this was said, Wang Pang himself felt curious, didn't the ancient and modern stones have been taken away by future people?How can I remember the "medicine" prescription and the title of the book?Regardless of so much, maybe this information has really been absorbed by the brain.

Lin Zheng didn't dare to be negligent and said, "I'll go right away, turn around and leave!"

"Wait!" Lin Haozhi said slowly along his chest: "Where are you going? You have to find the book first and then find the prescription. Don't be in a hurry. I still have something to say, don't you want me to shut you down?" Is this Qingfeng Building? Today I will announce that I will not do this Qingfeng Building. When the prince comes back, I will return it to the prince!"

"Give it to me?" Wang Pang was stunned and then smiled: "You are a son who has become a ninth-rank official, and you will not let you do it for fear of harming the official prestige. My prince can't open a restaurant as soon as he returns to the capital. ’ shop?”

"My lord, these things belong to you. I still have a house. In the future, I will let my son take care of me and bring my grandson to enjoy family happiness." Lin Haozhi pointed to the box and looked earnestly at the side of the king. .

This is also Lin Haozhi's intention, Wang Pang knew that if he resigned again, it would be a bit embarrassing for the father and son.He took the box, took out the booklet and put it in his arms, and handed the box to Lin Zheng. "This is what your father deserves after years of hard work. As for Qingfenglou, I can't have it. But I have a way to get the best of both worlds. Are you willing to listen?"

"My lord, please speak!"

"I also heard from Chen Kangyou that when I first left, the Jinxiu Building in Jinxiang Mansion had been taking care of the family members in the house, but I didn't know that the Jinxiu Building was no longer there. How did Cui Xi become the housekeeper of the Qingfeng Building? Let me tell you."

The shopkeeper of a restaurant has become the general manager of another place, presumably because the restaurant closed and he himself fell into despair.Lin Zheng hurriedly said for Lin Haozhi: "When Wang Xianggong was in charge and implemented the new policy, he once issued a ban, prohibiting public funds from eating, drinking and spending lng expenses. At that time, the business of the two companies was not easy to do, and the Jinxiu Building was gradually declining. Okay? It was easy to get through the storm, and when Su Shi was wrongly imprisoned, someone reported that there was an inscription by Su Shi in Jinxiu Tower, saying that he was disrespectful to the emperor. Jinxiu Tower was sealed up, and Cui Xi was almost imprisoned. Fortunately, the prince Everyone in the house had contacts in private, so my father managed to get Cui Xi out. So Jinxiu Building was shut down, and Cui Xi became the manager here."

Wang Pang nodded, and gave Lin Hao Zhigao another look. "Thank you Brother Lin for remembering the old love. If Brother Lin really doesn't want to be in Qingfenglou, I will transfer him to Cui Xi."[

"It's okay for the prince to say a word, these gold and silver princes will accept it!"

"Brother Lin, if you don't accept it because you think it was my subsidy back then, it's now regarded as the transfer funds I paid for Cui Xi, and you should keep it."

Lin Haozhi looked at the wooden box: "My lord, I'll listen to you. But I have one request, this Qingfeng building must not be closed. It's not that I don't want to part with this business. He used to be for the lord, but now it's not just for the lord."

Wang Pang thought that Lin Haozhi might have something to tell him, but his expression was still not good-looking.So he comforted: "Brother Lin, rest well, let's make a deal like this. I'll go back to the house to have a look, and I'll come back in half a day, and then we'll have a good chat."
