Chapter 521: enter the door by yourself
Chapter 521 Entering the door by yourself
Lin Jinxiao is now utterly disgusted with the influence of the rich and powerful foreign relatives in Jingling City.
Lin Jinmu, a dignified prince, died in Luyan Port, and the court dismissed and buried him without careful investigation, but now he is using power to suppress him because of the marriage of a woman from a foreign relative's family.
Now he has completely realized that only by firmly holding on to the power in this world can he have the right to speak, and he also understands why the two elders did not want him to stay in Jingling City alone.
That is indeed a place where dragons' pools and tigers' dens are in.
Tang Yaoyao leads the country's soldiers and horses. He and the Queen Mother asked for a marriage. I am afraid that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager can only compromise.
Fortunately, Chu Nanzhi understood what he wanted, and he no longer had any worries.
Staring at Tang Yuanxi with ice-cold eyes, Lin Jinxiao said with a faint smile: "This king has just raised Pingning Prefecture, and there are many trivial matters, and he is busy with sealing the ceremony, so he really doesn't have much energy. Since the princess wants to enter the Pingning Palace, then Enter the mansion by yourself after the sealing ceremony."
Chu Nanzhi wanted to laugh inexplicably when he heard these perfunctory words.
There is no reason for the bride to enter the door by herself.
Folk concubines still have to set up a few tables of banquets to celebrate, let alone the concubine in the palace.
Lin Jinqian immediately flew into a rage: "Prince Pingning, my sister treats you sincerely, you are so perfunctory, have you ever put this princess and the general in your eyes?"
This is simply humiliating.
Glancing at Chu Nanzhi who was gloating beside him, Lin Jinqian said angrily again: "You and Princess Pingning just had a quarrel and made up and got back together, so you have to hold a big banquet to congratulate me. After all, my sister is also a nobleman, so why can't you give her some honor and dignity?"
"cannot."
Lin Jinxiao frowned disapprovingly, and didn't even bother to prevaricate, and said bluntly: "Since the princess is so capable, let the court make another decree, so that the king has to use three media and six hires to carry the princess into the palace." .”
He didn't believe that no matter how powerful Tang Yao was, he could have such extraordinary abilities, allowing himself to offer three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts for a side concubine.
In any case, I and the Tang family are at odds with each other sooner or later, and now being able to obey the imperial court's will is regarded as the utmost benevolence and righteousness.
Lin Jinqian was so angry at what he said, and was about to argue again, but was stopped by Tang Yuanxi immediately: "Princess Sister-in-law, I am already satisfied that Your Highness can let me enter the house, and I don't care about the rest."
She has already made up her mind now, she wants to imitate Chu Nanzhi and rely on time to capture his heart, so she doesn't want the princess sister-in-law to anger Lin Jinxiao over these trivial matters.
After all, taking a concubine is not about marrying a wife. If he is negligent in marrying a wife, he can still be held accountable for slacking off on the court’s will. Taking a concubine is nothing more than his own will. He is willing to give some respect to be decent, and if he is not willing, it will be difficult for others.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Tang Yuanxi faced Lin Jinxiao with a forced smile and said, "Brother Jinxiao, after the conferment ceremony, I will start the process by myself, and then I will ask someone to report to the government in advance."
Although he didn't say it clearly, there was still a little luck in his heart, and he hoped that he would greet him in person at the gate of the mansion on the day he entered the mansion.
In this way, I can feel a little comfort in my heart.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jinxiao got up with a gloomy face, and said in a solemn voice, "Princess, take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, she pulled Chu Nanzhi straight away.
"I don't know how to compliment."
Lin Jinqian clenched his fists angrily, and muttered to himself.
My sister-in-law is also a respectable figure in the capital after all, and how many sons of high-ranking officials and noble families want to cling to him, so he doesn't appreciate the cheap settlement.
Back then, in order to make friends with Tang Yao, the queen mother forcibly broke up the marriage of the aunt, and asked the aunt to renew Tang Yao, and gave birth to such an only daughter, and the whole family doted on her.
Now it is not welcome to encourage her to become another family's concubine. When I return to Beijing, I am afraid that my mother-in-law and father-in-law who are aunts will inevitably complain to her again.
Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi had just arrived at the entrance of the restaurant when they ran into Tang Ru, the Captain, who was oncoming.
Hearing that the princess and his sister had come to Qinghefang, and then looking at Lin Jinxiao with an extremely gloomy expression, Tang Ru was very upset.
"Your Highness."
Tang Ru sincerely pleaded guilty and said: "The princess is playful by nature, so she insisted on opening a restaurant. The officials couldn't help it, so I had to obey her. The business of the Princess's restaurant was booming the first day it opened, so the officials wanted to be happy and bought it. to the shop opposite."
As he said that, he changed the subject: "But please don't worry, Wangfei, from now on, I will subsidize three thousand taels of silver to Yuanlai Restaurant every month to make up for the possible losses to the restaurant. Don't tell the princess about this."
"No, since it is a business, as long as there is fair competition, it is her own choice as to where the princess will set up the restaurant."
Who knows, just as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao took over:
"Why should the concubine refuse the kindness of the captain? This Qinghefang is known to everyone. It used to be just a quiet alley. It is all because of the reputation of the concubine that the people here are full of people. Since Princess Qian also wants to share a piece of the pie. , Lord Captain does not want to ruin the in-law relationship between the two families, so if he wants to make up for the princess, he must make some compensation."
Wrestling his fingers and pretending to calculate carefully, Lin Jinxiao continued in a serious manner: "Your Majesty also saw it, the princess earned 1,600 taels of silver on the first day yesterday, and according to this calculation, there will be four or five taels of silver in this month. Now half of the profit of ten thousand taels of silver has to be distributed to the princess’s restaurant, and the loss in the process is not small, three thousand taels is not enough, at least ten thousand taels.”
"Ten thousand taels?"
Tang Ru was stunned when he heard this, his heart was bleeding.
Isn't this obvious grabbing?
Although the Tang family has a big business, it is not a wealthy businessman like Zhao Taigong after all. This month's 10,000 taels is almost catching up with the lord's one-year income.
Now there is no money tree like the Qi family, and the gambling house is also banned. It is not easy to spend 10,000 taels a month to make up for the fate of the restaurant, and to use the money to open the restaurant for the princess.
Either you have to sell your private property, or you have to ask the family for money, so the princess will be aware of it.
In this way, the princess will only feel that he is flattering King Pingning and his wife and showing weakness to them, and she is not happy about it.
Seeing his bitter expression, Lin Jinxiao immediately said: "It seems that the captain is not sincerely trying to make up for the princess."
"No, no, no, this is the matter of the subordinate, the subordinate is willing."
Tang Ru thought about it and replied: "My little sister is going to marry into Prince Pingning's mansion soon, why don't I send the ten thousand taels of silver to my little sister's courtyard every month?"
"A joke, since it is to make up for the loss of the restaurant, why is it sent to the palace?"
Lin Jinxiao didn't give him room to change, he said bluntly: "Naturally, I want to enter the restaurant and use the account books of the restaurant."
Tang Ru's face was full of helplessness, but he had no choice but to agree.
The princess and wife have been spoiled and spoiled, she only wants to enjoy herself in everything, and doesn't think about the consequences, but she can't ruin her elder brother King Qinghe's great affairs because of this.
Now that the two families are married, he began to plan in his heart to win Lin Jinxiao over to serve King Qinghe.
If this is the case, ten thousand taels of silver per month would be a good deal.
Gritting his teeth, he replied firmly: "Then 12,000 taels per month, and all will be sent to the restaurant."
Right now, he only hopes that the restaurant of the princess and lady will be closed soon.
Otherwise, if things go on like this, when will he grow up.
