The little princess tames the prince

Chapter 156 Mr. Zhan Will Please (3)
"Then what happened to the other young princes?" Zhan Qi asked, Hua Yuncheng only replied: "Brothers are fighting for the wind." Zhan Qi understood now, nodded and was about to speak when he heard There was a noise in the street: "Get out of the way, everyone out of the way."

Zhan Qi went to the railing of the building to have a look, Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen also followed.When they looked at the downstairs, they were all in awe. The downstairs cleared the road, and the carriages of real sisters passed by.Miss Shen paid a visit, and now she is going back home.

When Zhenjieer's carriage passed by, the three of them sat back.Zhan Qi called Xiao Er, pointed to the plate of crystal-clear cherries and said, "How many more do you have in your store?" Xiao Er laughed along with him: "There are still about half a basket, the guest officer uses it well, and I will bring it to you."

Before Zhan Qi could speak, Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen exchanged another look.There are dozens of cherries on a small plate, and the asking price is one tael of silver per plate.Mr. Zhan is indeed a person who does not eat big meat, he only uses good wine, and then there are cherries and a few slices of fish to accompany the wine.This character makes people look envious, but if he doesn't eat enough to eat, Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen don't have enough money in their pockets.

"I want the rest of the half basket," Zhan Qi really said to Xiao Er, Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen were even more frightened, they wanted half of the basket, and they couldn't leave the house when the banknotes were met today.

The two of them stared blankly, and seeing Xiao Er happily said: "The guest officer is someone who will appreciate it at first glance. To tell you the truth, although the cherries are fresh, there are not too many people who want them every day. Put it in two days, and only I'm afraid I'll be wilting. The shopkeeper is upset, and he said that he can't sell it for two days. If the guest officer wants it all, I'll go back to the shopkeeper and say a price, and you wait for me."

There was a sound of "thumping" on the floor, and it was Xiaoer rushing down.Wen Zhen woke up from the shock, and smiled at Zhan Qigang, not knowing what to say.There was another sound of "thumping" on the floor, and a middle-aged man in a maroon lake silk robe rushed in. Xiao Er followed him and gasped, "This is our shopkeeper's."

When the shopkeeper came over, he smiled at the three people: "The guests know the goods. There are cherries in the weather in March. This is a rare fresh food. I'm afraid there is no such thing in the palace." After talking nonsense, the shopkeeper carefully said: "We take out one dish for one tael of silver, and there are seven or eight dishes left."

Hearing this, Wen Zhen squeezed the silver in his sleeve. He only had two taels of silver on him. The two taels of silver could have had a good meal in any middle-of-the-road restaurant. There are three or two.Now that they heard about this cherry, the two smiled wryly at each other, what should they do today?
"Guest officials want it, and it's time to eat it fresh, so I'll give you five taels of silver. What do you think?" After the shopkeeper said this, although he had a smile on his face.In fact, from his point of view, he still felt that he had compromised the price, and that a businessman could sell for money, of course, mainly on the income.But when Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen heard these words, their hearts turned.

Zhan Qi raised his hand indifferently: "Give it to me." Amidst the shopkeeper's promise, Zhan Qi took out a ten tael bank note to the shopkeeper, and said casually: "Put it on the counter and eat it later." If there is more, I will make up for you, and if it is enough, I will reward you with the rest."

Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen, who were entertaining the guests, were of course shocked, and stood up to compete again.Zhan Qi didn't even need to stand, he just said lightly: "The two of you still want to come out for drinks with me in the future, but I won't come out."

The two people who didn't have enough money sat down after hearing about it.In addition to being relieved, I would like to compliment Mr. Zhan, and everyone continued to talk.

Next, Zhan Qi talked a lot, this was in the private room, as long as he kept his voice down, he could avoid it.Zhan Qijiu went to the soundless place, and pointed out the two people: "How much money do you two spend with the prince a year?" Hua Yuncheng smiled: "The nine-rank official in Beijing earns less than 100 taels of silver a year, and our brothers follow the prince. , I took the money of the ninth-rank Beijing officials, rewarded things on the New Year's Day, and converted it into silver a year, and there was another ten taels of silver."

Zhan Qi said, luckily I paid the money, otherwise, it seems difficult to go out today.He said lightly: "I have been with the prince for a long time, and it is enough to support the family. I know the two people you mentioned, let them hide outside, and come to Beijing when there is less news about King Huo Shan."

The two were overjoyed together, knowing that Zhan Qi agreed, he would help speak up in front of the prince.The lights are shining brightly tonight, sitting in a restaurant and tasting good wine is already a pleasure for my lover.Because you don't have to pay for it yourself, and you can relax your mind, this wine is very comfortable to drink.

The shopkeeper should keep the ten taels of silver in his hand, so as not to look ugly.Let people send good wine upstairs, because the person upstairs does not eat big meat, and the things sent are also restricted.Zhan Qi, Hua Yuncheng, and Wen Zhen didn't drink much more, they came downstairs after drinking more than a dozen cups.

When I went downstairs to ask, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "A total of [-] coins." Zhan Qi didn't take it seriously, "I've rewarded you." He went out with Hua Yuncheng and Wen Zhen to part, holding the bag in his hand. Half a basket of cherries came to the palace.

After drinking two bowls of drunken tea in the study, and having a chat with Zhao Xiang who was on duty, I saw Zhao She, who had gone to Xijiang Hou Mansion for a banquet, came back.As soon as Zhao She, who was wearing a green robe embroidered with bamboo branches, came in, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhan Qi: "I told you not to go to Xijianghou's mansion, but where did you use the wine?"

Zhan Qi chuckled, bowed under the candlelight and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to drink wine. Of course I'm going to inquire about those scholars." Zhao She also laughed, pointed at Zhan Qi and said, "I'm letting you see my thoughts again." go."

Sitting down and asked Zhao Xiang to deliver tea to hangover, Zhao Shecai smiled at Zhan Qi, "What's the matter? All the young princes of Huoshan Palace are going, no wonder it's because of the talents of the world." Zhan Qi can't hold He smiled: "There are no talents in the world, but it is the talent of Xiang Laomei."

Seeing Zhao Xiang bringing tea in, Zhan Qiyin stood there, gave Zhao She a cup, took another cup himself, and then sat down and told Zhao She what happened: "...It turned out to be a small matter, a small matter. The lords competed for the wind, and it became like this. There are two of them, one is Hua Yuncheng's classmate, and the other is Wen Zhen's brother-in-law. , but this incident happened next time. Therefore, these people were worried and had to avoid Beijing. I told them to wait until the news calmed down, and then come to see the prince."
