"If you don't say it now, don't say it later." Lin Pingzhan was choked and complained angrily.

"Okay, I know you have worked hard, so let's share with you first."

Only then did Xiao Yunzhang sit up with a smile, leaned over and lowered his voice.

Unexpectedly, my cousin gave His Royal Highness a painting by mistake, which happened to be a birthday present.

Lin Pingzhan was a little surprised.

He was sure that his cousin didn't know about His Highness's birthday.

A girl who doesn't even know His Majesty, first painted because she wanted to send a painting, and then it happened to coincide with her birthday.

This can only be said... to be predestined.

"No money is charged this time, it's really a gift."

After Xiao Yunzhang finished talking about the afternoon's affairs in a low voice, he happily added another sentence.

Lin Pingzhan was feeling emotional, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence.

Poor Your Majesty!
He was a stingy man himself, and he met a cousin who loved money, and was bullied by his cousin for being stingy.

However, Lin Pingzhan knew that His Highness was not really stingy.

It's just that he has never pleased anyone, and his temperament is idle and unrestrained.

Will do something impromptu, but is very sincere to his own thoughts.

Of course it doesn't mean he's simple-minded.

Where can a really simple person live?I am afraid that grass will grow on the grave at the age of eight.

It's just that in his status and status, he is just trying to survive in the cracks, and he is not really free to act.

The so-called freedom is only within the boundaries that the emperor can give.

What's more, he is so arrogant and uninhibited, acting freely without rules, which is what the emperor wants to see.

If he is really conscientious, conscientious and diligent, and has a good reputation, the emperor is probably worried.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that according to the ancestral system and the rules, Xiao Yunzhang should be the crown prince.

It is the emperor who oversteps and violates the rules.

Therefore, the frail and sick eldest son is loose-minded, unrestrained, and loves to play rather than take care of things.

He was the poor son the emperor wanted.

The son is pitiful, the emperor will naturally favor him more and even give him some special privileges.

Even the queen can't intervene, let alone restrain the child as a stepmother or mother of the country.

Of course, there is another advantage to doing this, to prevent the child from being mistreated by the stepmother.

This kind of relationship between father's kindness and son's filial piety, in the eyes of various forces, is that the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom.

But who remembers His Royal Highness's birthday, and how did he celebrate it?
I'm afraid no one in the palace knows.

In winter, His Majesty's resident hot spring village does not go to the city, and most of them will be sick during the Chinese New Year, let alone enter the palace.

In spring, I live more in the palace in the capital, and I also accept some people's invitations to play, such as the flower banquet at Princess Yunhua's mansion.

The crown prince and third prince were also there, and it was also a rare opportunity for their brothers to get together.

Usually His Majesty is either here or there.

The long history of the Wangfu is to ask three questions, ask Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi will say that he is playing.

With such an erratic, casual, and non-existent His Majesty, who would remember his birthday tomorrow?
Even the emperor would not give birthday gifts, at most, he would think of giving some gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, and medicinal supplements at the end of the new year.

Occasionally, His Majesty would pass the booklets to the imperial study, just one thing: the minister has no money to spend.

I can't afford supplements, I don't have money to spend where I want to go, which store is not well managed and loses money...

If the emperor asks about it, it's the above reason, if not, that's fine, and he doesn't bother to explain.

Of these, Lin Pingzhan, as a primary school and accompanying reader, is naturally very clear.

It is also clear that although the cousin happened to catch up by mistake, this birthday gift will make His Highness so happy!

When it came to the new wine-making recipe proposed by the cousin, the two sighed again.

Such a cousin who can make money, they are not as good as they are, and they should cherish it!

"My cousin's sudden rise, obviously she has more ambitions than that." Xiao Yunzhang suddenly became serious.

"Lin Shenghua already has two big tents and seven big stewards under his command, and he is still so busy. It can only be said that the small stewards are still not enough."

"Old Song sent a big accountant and five big stewards over there, and asked him to arrange a few more capable junior stewards."

"I always feel that my cousin's purpose is not here. There are restaurants, teahouses, workshops, and snack shops, but she is still selling paintings to save money."

"I don't know what her next plan is, and I don't know how much she will spend."

"I really want to lend her a sum of money to save her so much trouble..."

Xiao Yunzhang has been secretly paying attention to Lu Weiyu and helping him in due course.

It's just that Lu Weiyu didn't know it.

"The problem of manpower should not be a problem for the time being."

Lin Pingzhan thought for a while, and talked about what happened at Lujiazhuangzi back then.

"The ancestors recognized the little girl's hard work and performance, and arranged Li Changqing for her. He is an old Jianghu with more experience than Lin Shenghua."

It is also one of the few masters cultivated by the ancestors.

Lu Tianyao has four such masters around him, who can do business or not. The main ones are Lu Tianyao's long-term followers who can handle all kinds of things.

And there are many big managers in the business of Bofu, all of whom are from the clan, so that the clan people can also have things to do and have a lot of benefits.

But the stewards in the clan are different from the 36 big tents and [-] stewards in the uncle's mansion.

The four chief followers, the 36 tents and the [-] stewards are all from the ancestors, and they only obey the orders of the ancestors and Lu Tianyao.

Even Lu Tiancheng couldn't shake them.

Therefore, both Lin Pingzhan and Xiao Yunzhang knew that managing people was more important than managing affairs in order to manage such a large business.

And the big stewards and tents around him are the backbone.

Below them, there are ordinary big accountants, big stewards, and the division of power all the way down to the small stewards and big buddies.

Finally, the shopkeepers, accountants, stewards and fellows of various shops in various places...

Xiao Yunzhang's early industries were all given by the emperor. Relying on the benefits obtained from those industries, he gradually decided to operate his business secretly to obtain more benefits.

He and Lin Pingzhan didn't think too much about it when they were young, so they started to learn how to do business by following the example of the uncle's mansion.

Although the current business plate is not as good as that of the uncle's house, it still has a good harvest, which further expands its dark power.

And these are mostly Lin Pingzhan who came forward, and the Qin family's help behind the scenes.

Everyone in the capital knows that before the emperor ascended the throne, the main concubine died of illness, but after ascending the throne, he was not granted the posthumous title, but he directly made the side concubine the queen, and appointed the side concubine's son as the prince.

This is to abandon the wife and son and choose someone else.

Since then, the Qin family, the mother's family of the crown prince and concubine of the emperor, has retreated into the world.

No longer in contact with the capital, nor with His Royal Highness.

Doing so seems like a loss of power and being driven out of the circle of power.

In fact, he also quit the competition circle to keep the young Xiao Yunzhang safe.

It's the same approach as the ancestors and old general Lin.

But this is all on the surface, how could they not contact in secret?
That is the grandson of the Qin family, an abandoned son of the emperor but not an abandoned son of the Qin family.

Therefore, many of Xiao Yunzhang's secret businesses are managed by the Qin family, which has already formed a momentum in Jiangnan.

What Lin Pingzhan can ask about is another batch of unrelated businesses, mainly expanding from the capital.

In other words, Xiao Yunzhang has three business lines in his hands.

Those properties given by the emperor, those that Lin Pingzhan took charge of, and those that the Qin family managed secretly.

Adding all these together, it should be able to reach [-]% of the uncle's mansion.

In addition, the Lu family and the Lin family still have troops and contacts reserved for him, and they are the real long-term sects who have been sticking to the secret.

Also, the power of Yunhai Temple in the back mountain of Xiangyun Temple, too.

With so many complicated businesses, industries and people in their hands, how could they not notice the sudden rise of the little girl?
However, when they learned that the ancestors had intervened, they didn't dare to give it away rashly.

Afraid of being alerted by the ancestors, instead of blaming them for meddling, what should I do?

"Forget it, I won't send the person in charge in the future, but find a way to send some guards to her."

"Since this girl is ambitious, she won't be trapped in a small courtyard in the mansion forever."

"Arrange early, when the time comes, it will come in handy."

"Your Highness, this is my cousin." Is it really okay for you to worry about her so much...

"Hmph, in terms of closeness, my cousin's name is far away, but I have received a birthday gift, have you received it?"

However, Xiao Yunzhang had an arrogant face, showing off very much.

Lin Pingzhan was dumbfounded.

In terms of closeness, Lin Pingzhan is a cousin of his uncle's family, so of course he is closer.

However, Xiao Yunzhang wants to discuss it from Princess Yunzhi, he and Yunzhi are half brothers and sisters.

Yunzhi's cousin, why can't he call her cousin?
Just like Lu Qianqian and Lu Yunyun are also called cousins ​​of the Lin family?

Relatives talk about closeness, not whether they exist or not.

But so what, he has a birthday gift, but Lin Pingzhan doesn't!
Lin Pingzhan was so angry that he took another piece of watermelon and gnawed on it.

"Hey, you don't have to be greedy, your birthday hasn't come yet, isn't it just the right time for my birthday?"

Seeing that he was depressed, Xiao Yunzhang comforted him again with a kind face.

Lin Pingzhan's birthday is in the second half of the year. He turned eighteen last year, and this year he will be 19.

It's good not to mention this, but it made Lin Pingzhan feel depressed immediately.

The former son of his fiancée who had been engaged since childhood told him that he was too old.

She likes the younger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and hopes that he can come and retire as soon as possible, and give her back her freedom.

It is really eye-opening to be able to talk about ruining promises and climbing high branches in such a fresh and refined way.

He didn't tell his family about this matter, but the hurdle of "old age" was really difficult to overcome for a while.

"Forget it, if I didn't say it, I'll take a shower."

Seeing him, Xiao Yunzhang became even more depressed, and also thought of this matter.

Immediately grinning in embarrassment, he quickly got up and ran away.

As a man who has never been engaged, he really doesn't know how to comfort a man who was engaged but was rejected.

Xiao Yunzhang washed and dried his hair, tied half of it loosely with a hair tie, and sat in the main courtyard watching the stars.

He didn't peek at the progress of the little girl's painting for him.

As long as you know that the little girl still remembers this and has already gone to paint.

When Lin Pingzhan and Lin Kangjie came back, they walked around the east courtyard.

Seeing that my cousin was really drawing in the study, she didn't bother, and came back after explaining a few words about auspiciousness.

"That girl from the Sun family, what are your plans?"

When Lin Pingzhan also finished washing and continued to brush his hair in the cool, Xiao Yunzhang suddenly spoke.
