The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 72 Mission
The imperial decree also came with gold, silver and house deeds. I took it and passed it on to Lu Zhu, and asked her to take some silver coins to distribute to the eunuchs. The eunuch said directly to the princess that you are too polite, and his hands were full of joy. Put it in your sleeve pocket.

Su Hong and Wu Wanhua both came back after this accident. Su Hongzhao lost a lot of weight more than a month ago, and his brows were full of sadness. It must be that the second wife's scandal made him very sad.

After seeing off the eunuch, he came over to say some polite words, and then left with Wu Wanhua's support in the name of heartache.

I called my mother-in-law to move the money to the small courtyard first. It is reasonable to enter the palace for a pilgrimage to thank you, but I was bestowed by the imperial court, so this etiquette can be avoided, so I took the deed and went out with green beads and ivy.

Today is different from the past, when the princess travels, the ostentation can't be ordinary, the steward has already prepared the carriage, and sent four Wu Ding to follow, and then went to the new mansion.

The new house was far away from the General's Mansion, but it was only separated by an alley from Rong Wang's Mansion. Thinking that he would be next door to that unlucky little Bawang Rong, he smiled a little.

Although the Imperial Mansion is not as grand as the Grand General's Mansion, it is still decent. The gardens behind the Quelou rockery are not small, and the imperial gift of the mansion was thirty neidins and a dozen maids. All gathered in the courtyard to bow down and acknowledge the Lord.

I looked around and saw that most of these people had humble faces when they knelt down, except for a handsome servant girl who had a slightly haughty face. I winked and asked Luzhu to remember that the servant girl's name was Xianghe.

Although this house is newly gifted, the lacquered pillars inside are not very new. When I went to the front hall and bedroom, I found that the built-ins are also a little old. If you want to live in, you have to do some renovations.

Fortunately, a housekeeper was given in the courtyard. I said a few wishes, and the housekeeper listened carefully and took notes one by one.Let Lvzhu take the silver money for him to buy, and leave Qingteng to stay in the new house to supervise, so he takes Lvzhu and goes out of the house first.

"Miss, shall we go back to the mansion?" The old butler has been waiting outside the door, and when he saw me coming out, he greeted me.

"Uncle the housekeeper, let's go back first. I'll go to see the old lady in Houye's mansion, and I'll go back later."

"Old slave, let's wait for Miss here." The housekeeper said again.

I smiled slightly, "No, I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, so I need to sit down for a while."

This time the housekeeper didn't talk too much, he bowed slightly, turned around and led everyone back to the direction of the general's mansion.

After he had gone for a long time, I walked down the alley to a tailor's store to buy men's clothing. My forehead was injured and I couldn't wear a crown, so I took a hat inlaid with jade and put it on, and picked out a folding fan. Then go to Yinhonglou.

Calculating the time, there are still two months before the bet is concluded, and it is time to go there.

There are so many people in the market, bustling with people coming and going, Yinhonglou has become a red pavilion in Huajie.

"Oh, my little son, you are here, my sister misses you every day." Stepping into the door, a gust of fragrant wind rushed over, Sister Lan greeted her with a wave of her handkerchief, smiling brilliantly.

I smiled slightly, "I tasted Sister Lan's vintage Pu'er, and I miss it every day. Today, I'm free, so I came to ask Sister Lan for tea. I don't know if Sister Lan can make a cup."

"Oh my little son, what kind of polite words are you talking about? If you have time, of course you have time. Sister Lan will make tea for you right now. Chuntao, come up to the front and say hello." She yelled to the side hall , twisting his body to lead the way in front, he went to the guest room again.

She greeted me to sit at the top, took the best jade teacup, washed the tea with warm water, brewed it with hot water, and respectfully brought it to the table.

"Sister Laolan is here." I picked up my hand and took a sip.

Sister Lan sat across the table with a smile, "But I don't see you for some days, you look really good, but is there a happy event?"

I smiled slightly, "The business of Yinhonglou is getting more and more prosperous. Sister Lan is making a lot of money every day. I am happy for Sister Lan, so I am naturally happy."

"Oh, young master, you really know how to make fun of sister Lan. The business here is good, and it's not thanks to you, young master." After she finished speaking, she took out the paper from her sleeve and put it on the table.

"Little son, Sister Lan, I'm a straightforward person, and I don't want to make any more detours. Today is the two-month period, and yesterday's income was more than doubled. In this case, this bet is accepted."

I smiled and said nothing, waiting for her to continue.

"But..." She covered her lips with a handkerchief, and coughed softly, "Young master, my sister, Lan, has been running this Yinhong Mansion for several years. Although this is your bet to let you invest in shares, but, we There must also be a contract with three chapters."

"Sister Lan, please tell me."

She got up and said, "First of all, even though you are a shareholder, the house deed and land deed are not considered shares. It must still belong to my sister Lan."

"Secondly, it's fairly simple. After the young master becomes a shareholder, the boss of Yinhonglou will still be my elder sister Lan. You are not allowed to call him the boss."

She glanced at me, saw no change on my face, and said, "Thirdly, although you have invested in Yinhonglou, the girls in the building are all from my Yinhonglou. What you did was just an idea. , the girl in the hand is a red leaf. So I don’t agree with the profit distribution method mentioned earlier, if you buy shares, you can get [-]% bonus at most.”

Sister Lan's first and second points are not too much, after all, this Yinhong Mansion belongs to her, but the third point is a bit too much, after all, there is a bet, and some things have already been agreed . "

I put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile. Although her tone was strong, her expression was a little evasive. It was obvious that she lacked confidence. It seemed that she was not sure in her heart that I would agree.

Businessmen are like gamblers, they always like to fight with reason.One more word, Xu Shi will fight for some silver taels, she is also testing, if I don't agree, she has nothing to do.

However, what I want is more than just Yinhonglou, what I want is the information about Yan Street Flower Lane...

I agreed and said, "That's fine, just what Sister Yilan said. However, Su also has something to say."

Just as Sister Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately became a little nervous again, "What's the matter?"

I smiled slightly, "After a while, I will send some little girls over. I want Sister Lan to help me find the best teacher to teach me, so that I can grow up well. Don't be embarrassed. Sister Lan, would you like to help me?"

Sending a girl over to train her will make money when she grows up. Sister Lan is naturally willing and immediately nodded her head.I didn't want to stay longer, so I signed a shareholding contract with her, and after a brief chat, I went to look for Hongye.

Maybe I haven't seen her for a long time. She has lost a lot of weight in the past two months, but there is a little dust between her brows. After staying in the Yanliu Field for a long time, her mind and mood will change somewhat.

"My lord." She stood up and made a pot of dragon balls, and then asked me directly, "My lord, Hongye has been singing songs here for two months, and has also won over a few young sisters, and there are three or five people who have confidantes." , Young Master, do you have any orders next?"

Of course there is, and next, I want her to cast a net, pay attention to the content of the conversation of the guests in the private room, and record the key content and weaknesses in the record for later use.

Hongye naturally nodded and said yes, explained some ways of how to deliver the news, and said some trivial things, then left Yinhonglou and went to the gambling house.

As I expected, the gambling shop has resumed business a long time ago, and it has earned several 10 taels for more than a month, and it has been more than a month since Juhai Building was taken over, and Li Jiulian’s dividends have also been collected, adding up to a million taels. They were all exchanged for large-value bank notes, and they were delivered to me in an orderly manner.

I took out one and wanted to hand it to him, but he knelt down with a plop, saying that he couldn't accept it, I was so stubborn that I couldn't help it, thinking that the future would be brighter, so I gave up.

After leaving the casino, it was already noon, and I didn't have breakfast in the morning, thinking that the Furong Pipa I ate last time was good, so I went all the way to West Street and entered the restaurant.

"Guest officer, please, there is a seat on the second floor." Xiao Er hurried over and led me to the window on the second floor.I ordered a few signature dishes, and after a while, the steaming dishes were served.

His family's Furong Pipa Leg tastes really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a long aftertaste.A plate of five, I ate four of them and I still can't get enough.

Lvzhu covered her lips with a smile, and called Xiao Er, just about to play another game, when she heard the sound of drums and chimes downstairs.I turned my head to look, and a team holding Xiao Jing's plaque was opening the way, and a team of carriages and horses came slowly from the official road.

The person who led the walk was wearing a short shirt with wide sleeves, brocade trousers with wide legs and tight feet, short boots with leather straps, hair-cut hair, a machete at the waist, standard Beili people's attire.

Looking back, there is a group of horse guards wearing yellow jackets, red tasseled bright helmets, and simple armor.In the center of the cavalry team was a burly man wearing a scarlet hexagram gown and a crown of dragon spouting pearls.

This person has a broad forehead and thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes that are piercing, and he sits on a horse with his chest proudly raised and his eyebrows raised. He is the eldest prince of Beili, Murong Hao.

Xiqi and Beili used to have battles, and the relationship these years has been neither good nor bad. Liren always dislikes taking the initiative to make diplomatic relations with enemy countries. Baili Tianqi did not know how much effort he had to make friends with the third prince of Beili back then. , why is the First Prince here?

"Hey, another big shot. In the past few days, counting this team of missions, there have been three groups of big shots here. Our princess is really lucky." Xiao Er sighed casually beside her.

I was trapped in the cave for several days, and after I came back, I went directly to the palace, but the news was blocked, I really don't know what happened these days, princess?

Seeing that I seemed puzzled, Xiao Er explained, "Objectively, you are a foreigner. You don't know this? Our Princess Heshuo of Xiqi has reached the age of marriage, and the missions these days are all enlisted Beijing came to ask for marriage."

It turned out to be the case.

This Princess Heshuo is the tenth princess of His Majesty the Emperor. She belongs to the lineage of Concubine Rong. I saw her sketch on plain paper a few years ago. Her eyebrows are picturesque and her smile is like a flower.

The nineteenth princess, Helian Yunshang, is also the son of Concubine Rong. At such a young age, she is quite charming, but compared with her imperial sister, Helian Yunpei, she is still a little inferior.

Let's not mention that marrying the royal princess can promote diplomatic relations, just talk about her beauty, which makes people fascinated.It is normal for the Prince Beili to seek marriage.

but……

Bei Li is now at war with Dong Mu. If Li Ren's proposal succeeds, it will be like pulling Xi Qi as backup invisibly. Before Dong Mu can fight again, he has already lost more than half of it.

Dong Mu, shouldn't just watch him come to propose marriage.

"Little brother, you said that there are many big figures these days, but there are also missions from other countries?"

Xiao Er nodded, "Yes, of course there is. Yesterday there was also a group of missions passing by the official road in front of the gate. It is said that they are from the Eastern Mu Kingdom."

"Hey, the son of Dongmu is really handsome. He is riding a tall horse, wearing a white shirt, with a shaved face and eyebrows. He passed by the door and attracted the attention of many girls from Xiqi. That man is not inferior to our Eighth Prince of Xiqi."

White clothes... Sliced ​​face and eyebrows?
"Second Brother, do you know who that man is Dong Mu?"

"Oh, I really asked about it. It is said that he is the prince of Dongmu Kingdom. What is his name... Oh, yes, Baili Tianqi."

My eyes narrowed, and my heart suddenly surged with blood.

Baili Tianqi, you really came to Xiqi!
