The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 746
[Chapter 746 A thousand taels of silver to meet each other]
After a while, Mr. Gong finally said: “Let Your Majesty think that during the time he left Kyoto Mansion, all the people in the court were Fang Xiu’s people!” When
King Kang heard this, his face Lu looked thoughtful. In the next second, he figured out the key to this. He couldn’t help but praise him and shouted loudly: “Wonderful, wonderful!”
After a pause, he looked at Gong Lao with excitement on his face. He opened his mouth and ordered: “I’ll leave this matter to you. Try to do it as naturally as possible. Others will see the trick, so that’s fine.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Mr. Gong bowed slightly and took the order to leave. Got here.
Time flies by like a white horse, and another half month has passed.
Fang Xiu had some free time during this period, and things on the Southeast Road were progressing steadily.
It will take some time for women to take the imperial examination.
Various academies are developing very rapidly because they are free of charge and the teachers who teach generally have great reputations.
There is no need to make any changes in the short term.
The only special thing recently is that Emperor Chu is about to return to the capital. Calculating the time, it is estimated that it will be within the next few days.
Fang Xiu was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, thinking about how to greet Emperor Chu.
A
young man hurried in, with a smile on his face, and said: “Master, another adult has come outside. He said that he has heard of your name for a long time and wants to ask you some questions.”
The adults in the hall used to be indifferent to my young master, but now they come to ask questions one after another.
Although the boy was just a boy, he couldn’t help but feel very proud.
When Fang Xiu heard this, he frowned slightly. He looked at the boy and asked, “Who is it?”
The boy thought for a while and replied, “Young man, I’m not particularly clear. It’s just that It seems quite impressive.” Fang
Xiu
waved his hand and said, “No, I’m busy! Where can I see these idiots?
“
For a moment, I didn’t even know what to say.
They are all famous adults in the court, and they are all prestigious in Kyoto Prefecture.
Unlike in the past, those who came to pay homage to the Lord were all those with military honors or some idle positions.
It seems a little uncomfortable to say that, right?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still knew what kind of temper his young master had.
Therefore, he didn’t say anything, he just bowed respectfully and said, “I understand, young master!”
After that, he turned around and left.
After a while, he returned to Fang Xiu, stood upright, and said, “Master, that gentleman said that he really wanted to see him. I hope you can give him a chance to see him.”
Fang Xiu After hearing this, he stood up from the recliner with a thoughtful look on his face.
It’s understandable that Mo Sheng wants to ask him for advice.
But don’t you think it’s strange why so many people suddenly appeared?
Fang Xiu’s eyes flickered, as if he understood something. He looked at the young man and said, “It’s not a problem if you want to see me. If you give me a thousand taels of silver, I will meet you.” He
told them that my time is precious and I have no time to pay attention to them!”
When the boy heard this, he was completely stunned.
Seeing that my young master only has one thousand taels of silver, is this a bit too dark?
I think so in my heart, but I dare not say it.
He just bowed and said, “I understand, young master!” He
turned around and left again.
Arriving at the door of Fang Mansion.
Looking at the adults of Rokubu waiting outside.
There was a hesitant expression on his face, but he still stepped forward and told the truth: “Sir, my young master said that his time is precious and he has no time to see you.
It’s nothing for you to want to see my young master .
The problem is, as long as you give me a thousand taels of silver, my young master will meet you.”
“You”
the man was startled when he heard this, and then his face showed anger.
But in the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and returned to his original complimentary expression, and said: “Okay, if I can see Mr. Fang, what does a thousand taels of silver mean?
I
‘m out!”
, took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to the boy.
Obviously the implementation is ready.
Of course, he only prepared one thousand taels of silver.
This thousand taels of silver was originally intended to support everyone in the Fang Mansion, plus to give to Xin’an Hou.
But he didn’t expect that just to meet Xin’anhou, the one thousand taels of silver would be gone.
The boy reached out and took the silver, looked at it carefully up and down, and only accepted it after confirming that it was an authentic banknote produced by Baolefang.
After accepting it, he showed a smile and said: “My lord, please come in.”
This posture is not at all like the residence of a minister of the auxiliary country, but it is a bit like Yi Renju, a place with smoke and willows.
The man who paid one thousand taels of silver felt inexplicably ridiculous.
But thinking about the purpose of coming here, he didn’t say anything and walked in.
Prince Kang’s Mansion.
King Kang and Lao Gong sat opposite each other, sipping tea.
Mr. Gong didn’t know what he thought of, and couldn’t help but smile on his face.
King Kang looked at Mr. Gong, also smiled, and asked: “Why is Mr. Gong laughing?”
Mr. Gong picked up the tea cup, took a sip gently, and said: “I remembered the things that Marquis Xin’an did recently.”
“What’s the matter?” King Kang asked curiously.
Gong Lao said: “Some time ago, didn’t His Highness ask me to do that thing?”
“Is it because of that thing?”
King Kang naturally understood what was going on and asked.
Mr. Gong nodded and said: “Who would have thought that the Marquis of Xin’an would blatantly ask for money? If you want to see the Marquis of Xin’an, you can pay one thousand taels of silver, and you can only meet once.
Next time, you will have to pay another one . “
Thousands of taels of silver.”
“This!”
King Kang was stunned when he heard this.
Then, with an angry look on his face, he said loudly: “In that case, isn’t it too ridiculous? Who provided the money for those people? If I, the king, provided the money, then” the
following words would not need much.
Where did Prince Kang’s Mansion get so much money?
However, Mr. Gong smiled and advised: “Don’t worry, Your Highness. We will indeed contribute part of this money, and those who go will also contribute part. Each family will share it, and Haihai can accept it. Your
Highness, what do you think? ” , if Your Majesty finds out that all the civil and military officials in the court have to spend a thousand taels
of
silver to see Xin’an Hou, what should Your Majesty think?
It’s so worth it!
Once you get to that position, you can get as much money as you want, so why bother with such a small amount of money?”
