I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 78 Shangguan Meng's Reaction
The morning sun shone through the mist and sprinkled on Jidu, an ancient capital with a thousand-year history; with the sound of a rooster crowing, in Pingzhang Pavilion, the cabinet cabinet Kui Shangguanmeng, who had been sitting withered all night, finally waited. It's time to "off work".

After a brief exchange of greetings with the colleagues who came to take over the shift, Shangguan Meng walked out of the Forbidden City, turned over and rode the skinny horse he had been on when he came, and walked all the way facing the street scene in the morning sun.

After a few miles, Shangguan Menglian arrived at his mansion in Fengcheng Hutong before the saddle under his body was warm; he dismounted and handed the horse to the servant who came to meet him, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. courtyard.

When the servant reported that his wife had returned to her natal family to visit relatives, Shangguan Meng stopped immediately; after thinking for a while, he turned to the study room he entered second in the courtyard.

After gently closing the door of the study, Shangguan Meng took out a purple bamboo tobacco rod (not a bong, please do not confuse it) from a secret place in the room, and was about to remove the shredded tobacco bag wrapped around the rod by the opening drawstring , There was a sudden noise at the door.

The cabinet cabinet, who was always calm and composed in front of people, was in a panic at this time. He hid the cigarette stick behind his back indiscriminately, and then looked at the door of the room as if he was facing an enemy.

"Father, it's me!"

A slightly immature boy's voice came, and Shangguan Meng heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could speak in the future, a cute head poked out of the door asked:
"You're hiding here again smoking dry cigarettes...

Father, mother has returned, you don't need to cover up, you can smoke openly. "

After all, the boy stepped into the study.

And the mother he was talking about was naturally not the first wife of Shangguan Meng who died, but the second wife who married later, who was two rounds younger than this elder; , naturally we have to coax a lot.

"Xiu'er, don't say your mother is not here, even if she is in the mansion, she still dares to smoke dry tobacco as a father."

After saying something stubborn, Shangguan Meng walked slowly to the desk and sat on the Eight Immortals chair; he knocked on the table with the cigarette stick in his hand, and glanced at his son at the same time.

The latter comprehended it, and rushed to his father's side, first untied the brocade bag containing the shredded tobacco, then twisted out a handful of shredded tobacco, put it on the pipe, and took the fire sickle to light the shredded tobacco.

Shangguan Meng sucked on the cigarette holder, took a deep breath, and then took a long breath, exhaling smoke around the area around the desk; then he looked at his son lightly, and asked:
"Speaking of which, what's the matter, and you're short of money?"

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer, but with a smile on his face, he hammered his father's shoulders with his hands, and asked in turn: "Does Daddy know that there is a business that is sure to make money in the capital in the past few days!"

Shangguan Meng, who was about to take a second puff of cigarette, paused after asking, he turned sideways instantly, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Are you talking about the transaction of reselling precious banknotes?
Didn't my father tell you that you must never interfere in this matter! "

"My son didn't interfere..."

Shangguan Xiu had just uttered a few words before he was cut off by his father:
"Do you know that the Son of Heaven once issued an oral order to order no one to interfere in this matter. If you have these thoughts, take them back quickly; otherwise, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

All the officials in the cabinet dared to secretly resist the edict. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shangguan Meng naturally didn't care too much about it; he said it was so serious, but he wanted to use the emperor to scare his son in his heart.

Because he always felt that the matter of selling precious banknotes was a bit strange; but since he couldn't tell what was wrong, he didn't say it clearly, but just kept it in his heart.

He can't control how others follow suit, but if his family wants to get involved in this matter, Shangguan Meng will never agree!

"Imperial decree?" Shangguan Xiu was startled by such a threat at first, but he immediately realized, "But Du Shangshu, Zhang Shangshu, Qian Benbing (this soldier is another name for the Minister of the Ministry of War) and the others are secretly reselling precious money... "

"Don't talk nonsense about things that are groundless and speculative, and be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth!"

Shangguan Meng only had this son in his late forties, and he can be regarded as half of an "old man", so he was quite relaxed in his son's discipline; and Shangguan Xiu, relying on his father's favor, spoke back in a rare way:
"Those merchants who go to sell treasure banknotes are mostly protected by high-ranking officials in the court and China. If it is said that the dignitaries in Beijing and China have nothing to do with this matter, who will believe it?
It's just that they all tacitly didn't expose the matter..."

Shangguan Meng snorted heavily, and at the same time raised his face, "I'm not going to say anything, you are not allowed to meddle in this matter! Could it be that you have taken everything you said about being a father as a deaf ear?"

"Father, after listening to me, it's not too late to make a decision..." Shangguan Xiu got the courage for the second time, and then threatened: "Otherwise, I will leave the matter of my father secretly smoking tobacco." Tell mother everything."

"you dare!"

Shangguan Meng immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, this rebellious son dared to threaten himself, he was afraid that he was spoiled and spoiled, so he didn't know the strict laws of the family.

But after hesitating for a moment, he softened his tone:
"Tell me, I want to see what flowers you can come up with."

As the head of the family, Shangguan Meng is not really afraid of his wife. The financial power in the house is under his jurisdiction, and he is bound by three obediences and four virtues. A little girl can't make trouble.

It's only when the wife is happy that she will work hard to please her in her boudoir, and she has to be happy physically and mentally; if it makes her unhappy, in the dead of night, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of fun in the room.

Besides, on Shangguanxiu's side, after getting his father's approval, he put on a cute smile on his face, and then spoke again:
"Father, three days ago, Breti's envoys began to purchase treasure banknotes, and the purchase price was two taels of silver per treasure banknote; at that time, the purchase price from the people was about sixty or twenty. If you sell the banknotes, you can make a profit of ten thousand taels;

And following the sale on the first day, the rich and powerful saw that it was really profitable, and increased the intensity of the acquisition. In order to compete for the remaining treasures in the market, the purchase price also increased, and once exceeded one, two or three dollars;
After these three days of purchases, there are no more precious banknotes for the time being. In order to buy as many precious banknotes as possible, the Brietti people announced before closing yesterday that they would increase the price - to three taels per piece! "

After being instilled such a message, Shangguan's masked face was still silent, he turned his head slowly, and asked his son, "Are you finished?"

"Father, there is a lot of money and it won't be hot!" Seeing his father not being moved, Shangguanxiu became anxious again, "There is still time to buy it now!"

"There is no need to talk about this matter!"

Shangguan Meng, whose attitude suddenly became tough, replied firmly.

Shangguan Xiu, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was relentless. He lightly leaned his head on his father's shoulder, shook his upper arm with both hands, with a pitiful look, and tried to persuade him again.

The old man turned a blind eye to it, instead he knocked out the ashes from the cigarette stick in his hand, and hit his son hard with the stick to show his firm attitude.

He is in a high position and knows when to restrain his desires. Even if the incident of smoking pipe tobacco is exposed and makes his wife angry, it will only be a matter of a few days.

He would never participate in such an obviously weird thing.

It is because he has always been so cautious and conservative that he, Shangguan Meng, was able to serve three dynasties, and his official career has always been prosperous!
