Concubine Jinghua: The black-bellied prince, please stay here

Chapter 81

Ye Lingxu closed his eyes and kept silent, "No! The first person to fish with a straight hook is called originality, the second and third one is called arty imitation. Since I can't do the first If you are alone, then be more mundane and be a utilitarian angler. Catching the most fish in the shortest time is what I should do.”

Fang Chuchu's mouth twitched, slightly bent, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is very pragmatic."

Ye Lingxu stared at her coldly, with a strange atmosphere, "This king is an ordinary person. It is normal for ordinary people to do ordinary things."

Fang Chuchu was embarrassed, Ye Lingxu was really hard to talk to.Seeing what he said to her, she didn't know what to do next. Since she couldn't answer, she simply started a new story and asked, "What's the important thing that your lord asked me to come here today?"

"Can't I come to you without something important?" Ye Lingxu raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily.

"No, of course I don't mean that, I'm just... just curious. Since the prince advertises himself as a layman, he likes to do things well in the shortest possible time. Then you...invite me here today. You want me to watch you fish or let me catch butterflies?"

Ye Lingxu's eagle eyes were cold, staring at the sparkling river, and said quietly, "That's right, my king invited you here today because I have something important to ask for your help."

"Please help me?" Fang Chuchu raised her eyebrows, staring at Ye Lingxu in disbelief.

Although her treatment in the palace seems to have improved now, she cannot intervene in Ye Chenshuo's affairs for the time being.She didn't know, what could Ye Lingxu ask her for help?

Ye Lingxu directly ignored the doubt in her eyes, lowered her long eyelashes, and returned calmly, "The officials in southern Xinjiang wrote a letter saying that this year's weather is abnormal. There has only been one rainstorm in southern Xinjiang since the beginning of spring. With light rain, most of the crops in the field dried up and died. Now even people’s drinking water is almost a problem. And the worst thing is that there are already plagues in several small counties in southern Xinjiang. Now the officials there are writing a letter , asking the imperial court for disaster relief."

Hearing this kind of news, Fang Chuchu frowned, drooped her eyes for a moment, and asked, "Then how can His Highness King Qin say I can help?" Although she doesn't have much ability, since Ye Lingxu came to her, then It proves that Ye Lingxu thinks she can handle things well.She is a selfish person, and she will not do things that harm herself and benefit others on weekdays.But things in southern Xinjiang are an exception. Drought and plague, these two natural disasters are a devastating blow to southern Xinjiang.If she can do something for the people there, she can still do her best.

Ye Lingxu glanced at her again, a trace of melancholy appeared on his handsome and innocent face, and he sneered evilly, "The emperor received the memorial and threw it in the court angrily. Officials in southern Xinjiang asked for money. How can the imperial court provide money. But if there is no money to provide disaster relief, the people there will have to wait to die. You said that if you were the emperor, what would you do at this time?"

Fang Chuchu bowed her head and meditated for a while, and when she looked up again, a shrewd gleam flashed in her eyes, "If I were the emperor, and I couldn't afford the money myself, then I would ask those wealthy businessmen to get it for me." Money." She read a lot of books, and the kings have always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.But even with such a policy, those businessmen are still good at drilling, and their money is still innumerable.

Of course, those in power usually turn a blind eye to these businessmen.However, if it comes to a disaster year or special circumstances, the money of these wealthy businessmen and wealthy households will definitely be targeted by those in power, commonly known as "killing chickens for the New Year".

Just like Xiao Ying.Xiao Ying is the eldest son and grandson of the Xiao family.When he and Fang Xueyuan came to Prince Jing's mansion, Ye Chenshuo specially treated them grandly. The reason was naturally not because Ye Chenshuo cherished talents, but because of the Xiao family standing behind Xiao Ying.

If Ye Chenshuo wants to become emperor one day, then with the Xiao family as his backing, he will naturally have more money on hand.

"That's right." Ye Lingxu curled his lips evilly, "The emperor has now set his sights on those rich businessmen in the private sector. Then guess again, which rich businessman will the emperor start with first?"

Since Ye Chenshuo was able to come to her, it must be the Xiao family.

"The Xiao family," she replied calmly.

Ye Lingxu raised his eyebrows coldly, and a faint smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, "You're right. However, things are still a bit troublesome. In recent years, those big families in Youzhou City have followed the lead of the Xiao family. Now The Xiao family seems to be the representatives of merchants in the whole country. The emperor asked them to pay this time. The Xiao family has sent someone to say that they will send people to southern Xinjiang to deliver supplies in private. And the money in the court, they will also symbolize Donate a little, but not with all your strength. With the Xiao family, merchants all over the country have followed suit. Now the disaster relief money has not come down yet."

"The Xiao family is really arrogant." Fang Chuchu couldn't help interjecting when she heard Ye Lingxu's talk.

Ye Lingxu raised his eyebrows, two slight wrinkles appeared, and his dark eyes narrowed accordingly, "The emperor has issued an order, whoever can persuade the Xiao family will be credited, and there will be other reward."

When Ye Lingxu said this, he laughed abruptly again, his eyes and lips were filled with infinite sarcasm.

"Ye Chenshuo may have already started to act. Maybe when you go back, he will put you directly in the carriage and take you to Xiao's house."

Normally, he despises his women for their lowliness and lowliness, but now that he can rely on his own women to do a good job, he will start to praise his own women again.

This is his younger brother Ye Chenshuo.

Like her mother, he never knew how to give charcoal in a timely manner, and only praised people who were superior and inferior.

Fang Chuchu stared at her beautiful eyes, shook her head slightly, and denied Ye Lingxu's words, "This should be impossible. I have a bad relationship with Fang Xueyuan. And as far as I know, Fang Xueyuan didn't It was a coincidence with me, and Liu Qianqian hadn't had much contact with her anymore. So even if Ye Chenshuo really pushed me into the carriage and took me to the Xiao's house, the Xiao family would neither give me face, nor I won't give Ye Chenshuo any face."

Ye Lingxu frowned, and said lightly, "In addition to being your brother-in-law, Xiao Ying is almost your husband-in-law."

Fang Chuchu suffocated, her pretty face sank immediately.Turning his face away to look at the hills in the distance, his expression was a little unnatural.

If Ye Chenshuo is the culprit of her current miserable life, then Xiao Ying is also the benchmark of her gray days.Although later on I learned from Ye Lingxu that Xiao Ying was also harmed by Ye Chenshuo, so he fell ill on the wedding day.But when Xiao Ying was mentioned, it always reminded her of those bad days.

Xiao Ying's existence always reminded her of how Ye Chenshuo dragged her into this miserable life.

Ye Lingxu squinted his eyes, and his cold eyes swept across Fang Chuchu's body, taking her expression into his eyes.

"You should know what this king is going to say next. Since Ye Chenshuo will definitely take you to Xiao's house, I hope you can persuade Xiao Ying to support this king."

Fang Chuchu frowned slightly, "Xiao Ying won't listen to me."

Ye Lingxu chuckled, and said firmly, "No, just tell me, he will definitely agree to you."

Fang Chuchu stared at her almond eyes, "It's too early for His Highness King Qin to say this. Although I have had such a relationship with Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying is not a fool, and there is Fang Xueyuan beside him. Fang Xue Yuan hates me so much. How can Xiao Ying help me?"

Ye Lingxu narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "It seems that you have been around Ye Chenshuo for so long, but you still haven't seen through men. Just do what this king says. Concubine Rong wants Ye Chenshuo to be in the university Do a good job of raising funds on the wedding day, so that Ye Chenshuo, who has been rewarded by the emperor, will look more honorable. Therefore, you must help persuade Xiao Ying in this regard. As long as you are willing to talk, Xiao Ying will definitely I will agree to you. At that time, Ye Chenshuo will lose face in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the wedding ceremony between him and Liu Qianqian will become a joke."

Fang Chuchu felt that Ye Lingxu's idea was extremely absurd, and Xiao Ying was also a descendant of the Xiao family, so why would he agree to himself.She secretly felt that this was not a good thing, so she immediately replied, "His Royal Highness, you keep saying that I can't see through men. Don't tell me you can see through women? Besides, I can only say that I will try my best at Xiao Ying's place." Go lobby him, but there's no guarantee of success."

Ye Lingxu saw her look so excited, he nodded with a smile on the contrary, and said in a hoarse, deep and sexy voice, "You are right. This king has not fully seen through women in the world, but this king can see through you That's enough. I believe in you, as long as you are willing to do it, you will succeed."

Before he heard Yilan say that Fang Chuchu looked like a person, he laughed and felt extremely disdainful.

But now, he had to admit it.

Fang Chuchu is very similar to him.

They are all people living at the bottom, oppressed and discriminated against, and they have all suffered extraordinary abuse from others.

Similar births, similar encounters, same enemies.

He saw himself in her back then.

Although he only regards her as a chess piece, even if it is just a chess piece, he still wants to train her to be a powerful chess piece that can stand alone, not a useless chess piece that can be discarded when it is used up.

As soon as Ye Lingxu finished speaking, the end of the fishing line was gently pulled a few times, Ye Lingxu raised his evil eyebrows, and immediately raised the fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line sank a few times, and was pulled out of the river At that time, the end of the hook had been bitten by a lively fish.

"This fish is quite fat. After you leave, I will send you a jar of bream that I smoked myself."

After a long time, Fang Chuchu and Yang Rongyanmo got acquainted with each other.Only then did I know from the two of them that Ye Lingxu was obsessed with fishing.

So much so that Yang Rong, Yanmo and the others talked about the changes in the fish, and they were all given by Ye Lingxu's bream.Of course, domineering men usually go their own way, leaving others nowhere to go.

On the basis of smoked bream, Ye Lingxu later developed more ways to deal with the fish he caught without a teacher.It can be said that he can do everything from frying to baking.
