Chapter 74 This fruit is 3000 taels!cheap

A group of people arrived at the inn separately, the old shopkeeper asked the waiter to deliver the tea to the door of the room with a wink, and quickly avoided it.Dong Ping and Zhao Guanshi sat quietly aside after meeting and left it to Zhang Guanshi to deal with it.

Guanshi Zhang stared at the little six from the corner of his eyes and wanted to say something ugly, so he opened the wooden box first and took out a fruit with the word "Shou".Sure enough, Little Six's eyes widened in shock, the eyeballs were like bulls.On the contrary, Manager Zhao held on to pick up the fruit and turned it over for a closer look, and finally praised with trembling lips, "This fruit...is amazing, if it's a birthday gift for Long Live, I can take it out."

Guanshi Zhang secretly rolled his eyes, the natural fruit with handwriting, this is auspicious!It's not just handy, as long as it is offered to the emperor, it will definitely be a big show.

Zhao Guanshi also felt that his words were a bit untrue, coughed dryly and said again, "Brother Zhang, let's make a price, we bought this fruit at the palace."

Guanshi Zhang glanced at Dong Ping, saw him nodding slightly, then pondered for a moment, then stretched out three fingers.Manager Zhao was stunned for a moment, and replied with a frown, "3000 taels? Brother Zhang, the price is a bit outrageous, even if this fruit does have something magical, it's just a fruit, how can it be worth so much?"

Xiao Liuzi also sneered, "Could it be that you are crazy about money? You don't even look at whose family we belong to, and the big family is actually slaughtered on our heads."

Guanshi Zhang smiled and didn't refute. He just opened the wooden box in his hand completely, and then embedded the fruit with the word "Shou" in it.Now Guanshi Zhao couldn't hold back any longer, his chest was panting like a bellows.

Where on earth did Liu Niangniang get the news, to find such a good birthday gift, it is simply tailor-made for Long Live Lord.Auspicious, absolutely auspicious!If the 3000 taels of "Shou" fruit just now is a bit expensive, then these four fruits are too cheap to put together!

"Okay, deal!" Afraid that things might change, Manager Zhao reached out and took out the 500 taels of silver note from his pocket and patted it on the table, then took the "Shou" fruit and carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. Then he turned his head and told Little Six, "You stay here and wait, I'll go back and pick up the bank notes."

Little Six nodded repeatedly. Manager Zhang knew that Zhao Debao was in case Zhao Debao ran away or found another buyer, so he smiled and comforted him, "Master Zhao, don't worry, we just stay here and wait for the good news."

After hearing this, Zhao Debao was still worried, and turned his head to look for Dong Ping again. Seeing that Dong Ping also nodded and picked up the book as if waiting in peace, he opened the door and left in a hurry.

Wang Deng, the chief manager, is on duty in the counting room of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion today. He is the accompanying room brought by the princess from her natal family. He has been in charge of the counting house as soon as he entered the palace, and he has slowly worked his way up to his current position.It can be said that he has a high position in the palace, so it is inevitable that he is proud and arrogant. The people in the Wangfei family are very close and will respond to every request.

Zhao Debao rushed back all the way, and went directly to the cashier to get a bill of 500 taels.Originally, side concubine Liu had received the grace of the prince, so she didn't need to report the expenses below 3000 taels, she just paid them directly.

However, Wang Deng didn't know if he got the orders from the concubine behind his back, and he was never willing to let Concubine Liu fulfill her wish easily.The last time Concubine Liu wanted to renovate the yard and withdraw 2000 taels, whoever came to claim the money returned empty-handed. In the end, Concubine Liu was forced to come to the cashier in person, so he gave the bank note slowly.Today, Zhao Debao asked for 500 taels, so he naturally refused it outright.

Zhao Debao anxiously took the banknotes to buy the remaining three fruits, and he was inevitably a little impatient when he spoke, without the usual flattery, "Boss, hurry up and prepare the banknotes for the little one. Useful, if you delay a major event, be careful that the prince will blame you when the time comes."

"Hmph, you little servant is so arrogant!" Wang Deng was playing with two jade balls in his hand, and yawned impatiently, "What big things can you do? Bring a few thousand to the disaster. You don’t rub the sand in your eyes, hurry up and get out! If you don’t report to the prince, even your master will be in trouble!”

When Zhao Debao heard that he was framed for corruption, his nose was so angry that his nose smoked, and he jumped up and down and cursed at the words, "Wang Deng, you old man, our mother has won the grace of the prince, and there is no need to report the money below 3000 taels. You Why don't you give it? Does this palace belong to your family?"

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, Wang Deng is the chief accountant of the Zhongshan Wangfu. Whether he is in the mansion or going out, he hears flattery in his ears. He has never been pointed at his nose and cursed.So he got angry too, and he reached out and threw two jade balls over, "Slave, how dare you scold me? I'm the chief manager, and I won't give it if I say no. This palace... the master has the final say, can you?" What's the matter!"

Zhao Debao didn't know whether he was out of breath or because his legs and feet were not flexible. Seeing two jade balls flying towards him, he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging.As a result, one eye socket was smashed black immediately. He covered his eyes with his hands and ran to the backyard crying loudly, "It's terrible, my lord, Wang Deng is going to rebel and kill people!"

Today's autumn is breezy and sunny, and the king of Zhongshan brought his concubine and Concubine Liu, who is like a flower of Xieyu, to enjoy the flowers and drink in the garden.The maids brought up all kinds of snacks and fruits like flowing water, and placed them on the pure white woolen blanket, against the beautiful scenery of red flowers and willows in the distance, it was really a different kind of comfort and carefree.

King Zhongshan had been ill for many days, so he forced a smile on his face when he saw this, and wrote a poem casually, which made the princess praise him non-stop.On the contrary, Concubine Liu poured wine for the prince and concubine gently, and finally opened her mouth and wrote a poem, which was very consistent with what the prince had done before.King Zhongshan was so pleasantly surprised that he took her hand and smiled, "Back then, your talent was the best in Kyoto. You don't want to marry into the palace for many years and still not lose a bit."

Concubine Liu blushed, she raised her sleeves shyly to cover her face and said in a rebuke, "My lord, why did you suddenly bring up the absurd things in the concubine's boudoir? Even if the concubine has some talents, she is easily moved by the lord. Say so Come on, the prince is the real astonishing talent."

"Haha... Well said, well said!" The prince was coaxed into elation, and laughed out loud, which was rare.Seeing this from the side, the princess almost crushed the wine glass in her hand, and she glanced at Concubine Liu from time to time with a cool look in her eyes.

The prince was smiling happily, and wanted to tease Concubine Liu to say a few more words, but suddenly felt her fingers trembling slightly, looked up in doubt, happened to see the sinister look on Wangfei's face clearly Chu, his brows couldn't help but wrinkled.

Any man hopes that his wife is magnanimous and generous, so that he can collect more beautiful girls and spread more.He has married as many as twelve women into the mansion for so many years, but the children he gave birth to have died one after another, and in the end only one legitimate son is left, and now he is also bedridden, coughing to death when he sees the wind and light.Is it really God's blessing?or man-made...

Suspicion is like that shrub called "crazy" that, once gathered in a mass, grows rapidly.King Zhongshan remained calm, but he made up his mind to pay close attention to the affairs of the mansion in the future.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the front yard. King Zhongshan frowned and scolded the princess, "What's the matter? There are people calling for help in the yard in broad daylight. Could it be that there are man-eating beasts in the palace?"

The concubine hurriedly got up to apologize, and comforted her, "Please calm down, my concubine, please go and ask what happened?"

The lord wanted to say something, but Concubine Liu fell down on his knees and begged in a low voice, "Don't worry, lord, this person seems to be the steward who serves the concubine. The concubine sees the lord bothering about celebrating his birthday these days, so I will send him out today." Searching for rare objects in private. I don't know if I was bullied by others outside, that's why..."

When the prince heard this, he lost his anger, stretched out his hand to help Concubine Liu and said in a gentle voice, "It's hard for you to think of solving my problems for me, that's all, let him come in and tell me what happened? Is the management of our palace someone else's will?" Deceitful!"

The lord was angry, and the servants naturally put up all their energy, and immediately someone went to the gate of the outer courtyard to spread the word after hearing this.Soon, Zhao Debao was brought in.He is also clever, he only glanced at the faces of the three masters and guessed that his master had the upper hand, so he added details and explained how Wang Deng was so rampant that he didn't pay attention to the prince's order and how he beat people. again.

At the end, he kowtowed and cried, "My lord, please make the decision for the side concubine and the servant! The side concubine is so infatuated that she wants to share the prince's worries despite all difficulties. The servant ran all over the capital, and finally I found a good birthday gift that was made in heaven, but how could I expect to be beaten up by my family when I returned to the palace? My lord, is the king's mansion the biggest, or Wang Deng has the final say..."

King Zhongshan's face was already livid with anger, he reached out his hand and slammed the tea bowl down, and said angrily, "Where is Wang Deng, I tied him up! You dog slave, when is it his turn to be the master of the palace?"

Concubine Liu quickly stepped forward to wipe the prince's chest, and comforted her in a low voice, "Please calm down, my sister usually manages the big palace, so there must be some omissions. This servant of Wang Deng is also in a daze for a while, the prince must not be with you." He has ordinary knowledge, what can he do if he gets angry?"

King Zhongshan grabbed her hand and held it tightly, half suspicious and half pity asked, "Aren't you annoyed that your slave is making things difficult for you?"

A look of sadness flashed across Concubine Liu's face, and she slowly responded, "He is the concubine's slave, so he must be prepared to be wronged. The concubine is the prince's concubine, and he must also..."

She didn't finish her words, but King Zhongshan clearly understood the meaning of her words.He stared at the tiny wrinkles inadvertently revealed in the corners of Concubine Liu's eyes, and for some reason, he remembered the loving days of the two of them, and suddenly felt that these years had really treated this knowledgeable and interesting woman badly.So he raised his hand to gently wipe away her tears, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged again."

The concubine almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand. She intended to smooth things over for Wang Deng, but it was a pity that Concubine Liu didn't give her this chance, and kept pulling the prince to talk. Although she didn't say anything about her, the words The words and sentences made the prince guess thoroughly.Is this really the soft and well-behaved Concubine Liu who looks like a rabbit? Could it be that she underestimated the enemy...
