The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 313 313. Secret message

The couple felt strange, "Why did my father come in person? Is there something important?"

"Um."

The seriousness of his tone made everyone present feel worried. Fengshan walked up to him and asked him to sit down before he asked.

“Father-in-law, what happened?”

“Look, this is a letter from your eldest brother’s house.”

letter?

 It was sent from the eldest brother’s house. Why didn’t they send the letter directly to the house? Instead, they had to pass it through the hands of the Hua family.

"The shopkeeper said that people around Mrs. Feng have been saying that this matter is related to the life and death of the Hua family, so they sent people to rush over. However, they have been fighting, and the Lanshui River cannot be crossed, so today they sent this The letter was delivered to us, and when we opened it, we realized that something had happened to the Feng family."

Hearing this sentence, Fengshan's face suddenly fell.

Immediately opened the letter and read it carefully.

Hua Shi was also accompanying her. After reading it, the veins on her temples popped out, and her eyes were about to burst into flames!

 “Fart, how could I send someone to harm my sister-in-law!”

Fengshan is well aware of his wife's character. Although she is from a merchant family, she never looks down on herself. Although her relationship with her sister-in-law is not very close, it is not harmful to anyone!

"Someone in the family must be using my name to cause trouble. Well, there is a mole in the house that I have been in charge of for half my life. You really don't take me seriously! Don't worry, sir. I will go to investigate thoroughly later and wait for the arrest. When someone arrives, he will be taken to the capital to make amends to my sister-in-law!"

 “Thank you for your trouble, madam.”

 Seeing Fengshan's complete trust in his daughter, the old man of the Hua family, who was a little worried at first, was completely relieved now.

 Otherwise, if you have the eldest brother and sister-in-law on one side and your bed partner on the other, I'm really afraid that he will be suspicious.

He knew his daughter's tricks. She had many tricks when she was in the Hua family. Finding a mole was not a complicated matter, so he didn't say anything more about the matter. Instead, he asked.

“By the way, what do you think of the Ninth Prince’s post?”

The Hua family has all received it, and the Feng family will definitely have no shortage.

"Before Father came, we were talking about this matter, and we were also very worried. This post clearly asked us to honor the Ninth Prince, but during these days, we have already made a lot of supplements for the affairs of Liangzhou City. At this time, we have I’m afraid you’ll be nervous if you give me such a generous gift.”

 What Hua told the truth is true. Similarly, every businessman who participated in the restoration and reconstruction of Liangzhou City is in a similar situation.

When the old man of the Hua family saw this, a trace of hatred flashed under his drooped eyelids.

Then he said to everyone present, "In that case, let's jointly fund a bronze statue for this ninth prince who has worked so hard and accomplished so much, and place it in the center of Liangzhou City. I would like to see how to build momentum for him to reach such a place. , does he still have the face to ask for it?"

Pouring the bronze statue is very troublesome, but the cost is high. Although it is a bit labor-intensive, it can save the money of the merchants to the greatest extent.

If you really give money and gifts, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog, and you will never come back.

However, this kind of thing that only adds to the reputation in vain has too many hands and feet.

He didn't believe it. Can the Ninth Prince stay until the bronze statue is poured?

 It will boil him away even if you boil oil!

Fengshan also thinks this method is feasible.

 It's a pity that they have never dealt with a prince before, especially the uncertain Ninth Prince.

On the night of the banquet, the Ninth Prince entertained them with fine wine and delicacies. Seeing that everyone had brocade boxes in their hands, he felt that they were really interested.

So he picked up the wine at hand and said to the merchants.

"You are all the heroes of our Great Jin Dynasty. Without your help, Liangzhou would not be able to recover so quickly. I, the prince, would like to toast you all with a glass of wine!" "Thank you for your highness's praise. The common people are not worthy of it."

 After saying this, he also drank it all.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying themselves, the Ninth Prince did not refuse. He clapped his hands, and a group of dancers and wine companions immediately came outside.

Fengshan's eyes were filled with chills.

There are of course brothels and brothels in Liangzhou City, but many have escaped due to the recent war, and only a small part of them have returned to the city now. Where did he collect these people from?

 Could it be that they were brought from Ganzhou?

As expected, when one of them started to persuade him to drink, he heard that he had a Ganzhou accent, and his eyes became even more sulky.

 The fists under the sleeves were tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.

When Liangzhou City was in dire straits, the Generalissimo of Zhengxi hid in Ganzhou and did not show up. But now, not long after Liangzhou City recovered, he actually brought people to play and sing every night. He really didn't care about them at all. These people keep these in their hearts.

 For a moment, he was filled with anger, and his originally calm emotions broke out in an instant.

So he clasped his fists at the Ninth Prince and said, "Your Highness, it's still a mess outside. We are here to have fun. If the people find out, I'm afraid they will accuse us of being profiteers and evil spirits. If we don't do it right, we will be implicated." Your Highness will lose more than he gains if his reputation is damaged."

The Ninth Prince was drinking happily, when he heard such a warning, he glanced over with a suspicious look.

“Master Feng, are you trying to dampen this king’s interest?”

As soon as these words came out, several family heads around him stood up and interceded for Fengshan.

“Your Highness has mercy. The head of the Feng family also thinks about Your Highness. Naturally, no one will comment in peacetime, but these are extraordinary times. Hehe, please forgive me, Your Highness.”

“Yes, those of us who are businessmen have a bad reputation and a very low status. We really don’t want to bear the infamy anymore.”

The Ninth Prince has never been so contradicted by a group of "untouchables", and he is about to have a fit.

Unexpectedly, the people under him suddenly started talking.

"Your Highness, please forgive Mr. Feng this time," he said, glancing at the brocade box next to them. The meaning was obvious.

With coercion and inducements, you might be able to generate more money.

Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

With a wave of his hand, the dancers and the maids retreated.

“Well, since someone is interceding on your behalf, I will spare you this one time.”

His attitude is arrogant and unreasonable. If it weren't for his origin, Fengshan would have fought back mercilessly.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold for a while, the man who begged for mercy intervened and asked the head of the Tie family next to him.

“Master Tie, what’s in this box? I’m very curious when I look at it.”

When the head of the Tie family heard that the topic was brought to him, he immediately stood up and bowed to the Ninth Prince, and then said respectfully.

“This is a book written by thousands of people. They are all words of gratitude written by the people of Liangzhou City for the Ninth Prince. I hope your Highness will accept it.”

As soon as these words came out, even the person who begged for mercy looked a little embarrassed.

 I thought it would be a pile of banknotes, but if that doesn't work, it could be something else.
