Chapter 244

"Let me think about it." Xu Sihai was extremely angry and calm, and it took him a long time to reply. Chang Da didn't ask a word, just nodded, Xu Sihai looked at him and said, "What are your plans?"

"I'm going back to Yongjing County right now. Mr. Pan and Uncle Leng are still waiting for my reply."

"Don't worry, you stay with me for two days before leaving quietly, just in case." Xu Sihai ordered, Chang Da raised his eyebrows slightly, and he already understood Xu Sihai's meaning. If someone is eyeing him, he will immediately Returning to Yongjing County, afraid that Leng Mingsong's hiding place would be exposed, Chang grinned and said, "Don't worry, Qi Ye, our brother is an old man in the same line, we must not let others put it on, but be careful, there is no big mistake, or Master Qi is careful, then I will rest at Master Qi's place for two days before leaving." Xu Sihai nodded in agreement, called his confidant to come in, ordered Chang Da to resettle him, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back until midnight.

At night, the lights outside the Qinglian Building were not bright, and the courtyard was passed through the building, but it was full of feasting and feasting.

Jiang Zhengyuan walked along the shaded path among flowers, strode into a secluded courtyard far away from the red lights and green wine, pushed the door open and entered the upper room, the fifth prince faced the floor-to-ceiling screen window, with his back to the door and slouched on the handle On the rocking chair, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he lazily said without turning his head: "You are getting more and more good at having fun."

"Since you are here, why don't you go to the front to evacuate? Neyan, they are all here." Jiang Zhengyuan's face was relaxed and casual, but his eyes were suspicious and cautious. The fifth prince raised the cup in his hand and motioned Jiang Zhengyuan to pour him After serving the wine, he pointed to the armchair next to him and said, "I'm here to talk to you. Sit down." Looking at the fifth prince, he said with a smile: "You are a busy person who came here to talk to me, I am flattered."

"There is a big business for you." The fifth prince said straightforwardly: "The Privy Council wants to bring tea, wine, and salt to the north to exchange for military rations, so let Tongyuan Bank be the guarantee." Jiang Zhengyuan's face changed suddenly, and his eyes flickered. Looking at the fifth prince, he said with a dry smile, "What are you talking about, Mr. Fifth? Tongyuan Bank...it really has nothing to do with our family, but take some of their shares..." The fifth prince stared at Jiang Zhengyuan with a cold gaze. Jiang Zhengyuan's back was stabbed like a knife across his throat, and the words that followed were stuck in his throat and he could no longer speak.

"Tongyuan Bank is small and weak, how can it afford such a big business." Jiang Zhengyuan has never seen such a fierce side of the Fifth Prince, knowing the matter of Tongyuan Bank must have been clear to the Fifth Prince, so he just denied it. Good plan, also sad today's test, had to change his words, the fifth prince's expression softened a lot, he raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said lazily as before: "Of course Tongyuan Bank can't afford such a big business with that little capital. "Before Jiang Zhengyuan slowed down, the fifth prince continued: "I will give you 50 taels of silver, cash, and use it first, if it is not enough." The fifth prince shook Erlang's upturned legs: "With this 50 taels Two cash is not enough, you have to change the shopkeeper quickly."

Jiang Zhengyuan was almost staggered by his last sudden turn. He looked at the fifth prince sullenly and speechlessly, thinking about the Huang family behind him and the daughter-in-law who married. However, I couldn't keep it casual anymore, so I simply lowered my face, looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "You speak the truth, and I won't beat around the bush. We have been friends for more than ten years, and everything can be spread out. This is not a matter of enough money, the Jiang family is not going to get involved in this shocking event!"

"Well, I know." The fifth prince was extremely indifferent: "But father's body is really bad, and he won't survive the sixth child to grow up." Jiang Zhengyuan's face changed several times: "What is the fifth master talking about. "

"Don't you want to talk about it?" The fifth prince shook the wine glass in his hand, still looking extremely lazy: "Father will never hand over the inheritance of the ancestors to a child, even if it is handed over to him , He can't keep it, and the Jiang family can't kill the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and me." Jiang Zhengyuan was shocked, but gradually calmed down, watching the fifth prince remain silent, waiting for him to continue.

"Even if the Jiang family has no such plans now, they plan to make a beautiful wall grass, but this wall grass is not easy to make at all. Now that I have come to the door, it will be even more difficult to do, um, no no It's easy to do, but it can't be done at all." The fifth prince is lazy and rascal: "The situation is extremely simple now, nothing more than the eldest brother and the fourth child, if the eldest brother's destiny belongs... Needless to say, if the fourth child gets it Destiny, what will happen to the Jiang family? You said that if you really made up your mind and bet on the fourth child, you shouldn’t have rejected Mr. Yao’s kindness at the beginning. Alas, it’s a pity, now you can’t be Mr. Yao’s and Dongyang’s own family. , Dad favors Concubine Jiang so much, and has been doting on the exclusive room for decades. This woman, as I told you, is the most poisonous woman. Did she always serve the late Emperor's heart?"

Jiang Zhengyuan's face was extremely ugly when he heard what the fifth prince said. The fifth prince looked at Jiang Zhengyuan's face and chuckled happily: "In recent years, Concubine Jiang has been far away from Concubine Ye. After all, she is young and vigorous, and she doesn't think much. Anyway, I feel sorry for Lao Liu. Speaking of which, Lao Liu loves to play with me everywhere, and I like him very much, but I’m just such a young brother. Alas, I don’t know if your Jiang family can protect him or not.” The fifth prince seemed to suddenly think of something, and tilted his head at Jiang Zhengyuan: "You said, will the Jiang family abandon the sixth child, and use him as a vote for the safety of the family?" Jiang Zhengyuan's face turned red, and the fifth prince smiled. He made a sound, waved his hands and said, "Don't do this, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the Jiang family, not only the Jiang family, which family is not like this? For the sake of the family, anyone can be sent to the altar for sacrifice, you and I have a friendship of more than ten years, if I really want to find out, maybe I have to make this sacrifice with you, so that's fine." The fifth prince raised his brows happily: "With you accompanying me to heaven and earth, It's not in vain for our friendship!"

Jiang Zhengyuan looked at the fifth prince dumbfounded: "Fifth Lord, are you threatening me?"

"Hmm!" Unexpectedly, the fifth prince nodded repeatedly: "Your cleverness is almost worse than mine. It took me a long time to understand. That's the thing. It's easy for you to put a coffin on the bottom or something." Jiang Zhengyuan rolled his eyes in a very indecent manner, looked at the fifth prince speechlessly, and it took a long time before he said: "You are not afraid that I will fall to the fourth prince." Grandpa? Let you be beaten?"

"Then you can give it a try." The fifth prince was extremely straightforward. Jiang Zhengyuan was sullen for a long time, but he didn't dare to take it any further. The fifth prince looked at him sideways, sighed, suppressed the smile on his face, and put down the cup , moved forward, looked at Jiang Zhengyuan seriously and said: "We have been friends for more than ten years, I know you, you also know me, what kind of person am I? If I am not in a hurry, I will just sit on the sidelines like you, But now, since I got married, there is no second way. Speaking of it, it is for the eldest brother, but in fact I am for myself, for my own way of life, and it is the same for you and the Jiang family. Do you really think that the fourth son has inherited the eldest brother Hey, the Jiang family still lives today? Think about the Liu family, which is also a grand family with a history of [-] years, but after a few years, it has been scattered in all directions, who has heard of the Liu family now?"

"The Jiang family is different from the Liu family." Jiang Zhengyuan argued with a livid face, and the fifth prince said with a smile: "It's different. If the fourth son inherits the throne, he will definitely not be as strong as Dad. Concubine Ye is the mother of the fourth son." The Queen Mother is not father's biological mother." Jiang Zhengyuan twisted his head and said nothing, the fifth prince leaned back on the rocking chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Listen, I can't guess why father wants the fourth son to monitor the country. But Dad's illness is by no means worse than usual. You can ask Concubine Jiang quietly about this. This war, but there must be a resolution within a year and a year. It is already in the nick of time, and words like sending the heir thousands of miles away will never be said, but they are just words from someone with a heart." The fifth prince seemed to be a little impatient with himself, and waved his hand: "If I don't say these words, you will You understand it very well, don’t talk about it, think about it for yourself, should you wait for the uncertain future, or give it a go, and earn yourself and the Jiang family decades of peace and wealth.”

As he said that, the fifth prince stood up while supporting the rocking chair, stretched his waist and said: "Let's say the last thing, I am here, at least 60% of it is for our friendship of more than ten years, if I can give you a hand, I will naturally do so." One, who told us to have such a friendship, this silver is not silver, what Tongyuan Bank... Do you think I really value it? Silver is really nothing in my family." Jiang Zhengyuan smiled wryly. , These words are not false, the daughter-in-law he married is indeed a living God of Wealth, the 60 taels of silver in the press box is on the bright side, even if it is all cash, but the running water of her shops adds up The amount is definitely not less than the 200. It is indeed not impossible to raise one or two million taels.

"This is not something I can decide." Jiang Zhengyuan turned his mind a few hundred times, and finally said: "I have to ask my father for instructions, and my aunt."

"Well, that's the truth." The fifth prince nodded happily to express his understanding: "It's just that I'm in a hurry. If you come to talk to me before noon tomorrow, if I don't hear back, I'll take it as if you clearly refused." Don't worry, I can't really use you as the bottom of the coffin for our friendship of more than ten years." The fifth prince laughed and made a half-true joke, but Jiang Zhengyuan didn't do it at all. Laugh out, this time, the Jiang family may have to make a choice.
