Looking at the emperor's guilty expression,
The emperor emeritus was even more annoyed.
He said, "Zhu Lin, open my private treasury later."
"Send five hundred thousand taels of silver to the emperor first."
"Thank you, father." Tu Chen was overjoyed. Five hundred thousand taels of silver, plus the five hundred thousand taels of silver from Ningguo Province.
Together, it was one million taels of silver.
The shell should have been built, but..,
Such a big project..,
One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver..,
He was afraid it was far from enough.
However..,
He would talk about it when the time came..,
If it really didn't work..,
Tu Chen looked at the emperor emeritus again.
Didn't he say? Send him five hundred thousand taels of silver first..,
Which meant that if he didn't have enough, he could continue to ask him for more.
After understanding the emperor emeritus's subconscious, Tu Chen instantly felt at ease.
"Forget it..,
Play chess.., play chess..,
After your shop is done.., I'll play too. "
The emperor emeritus naturally wouldn't ask for shares or anything. He was already so old, and his private treasury was still quite rich. The emperor had been the emperor for so many years, and he could be considered cautious and conscientious. Because he wasn't valued in the beginning, and his family wasn't strong enough, it was normal for him to not have enough money. The emperor emeritus naturally wouldn't ask for the emperor's estate.
"Yes." Tu Chen naturally agreed immediately. After the shop was done..,
This was just a small matter. Even if the emperor emeritus didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to invite him.
Not long after the emperor returned to his palace, the emperor emeritus asked someone to carry the silver to the emperor.
When Tu Chen saw the silver, he immediately asked Zhang Sheng to inform Chong Guang to bring his brother to the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor. This shop was quite important, but Chong Guang was responsible for other things, so the person in charge of this matter was Chong Guang's brother, Halcyon.
"Yes." Zhang Sheng naturally went to arrange it immediately.
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today." When Zhu Lin returned from delivering the silver to Tu Chen, he saw that the emperor emeritus was reading a book. He changed a cup of tea for the emperor emeritus and said with a smile.
"Old thing, I just lost money, and I'm still happy. Which eye of yours saw it?" The emperor emeritus glared at Zhu Lin and said.
"His Majesty is very happy with this wealth." Zhu Lin had been with the Retired Emperor for so many years and understood him very well. At this moment, the Retired Emperor was absolutely not angry.
"Ah, you old thing, the Emperor is not close to me. Among my six sons, I have high hopes for the Crown Prince, hoping that he can become a wise ruler. I also have high hopes for the Eldest, Third, and Fifth Princes, hoping that they can assist the Crown Prince in governing the world. I also have high hopes for the Eldest, Third, and Fifth Princes, hoping that he will never be disturbed by his identity as a member of the Imperial Family and can live the rest of his life freely. Only the Fourth Prince, I do not value him very much and do not have any special expectations for his future. Unfortunately, something happened to the Crown Prince, Eldest, Third, and Fifth Princes, leaving only him and the Sixth Prince. I have no choice but to choose him. He did not disappoint me. Now, he is also worthy of the title of a wise ruler. Unfortunately, because I neglected him too much in the past, he is not close to me." Speaking up to here, the Retired Emperor's heart was filled with regret.
"Your Majesty, you are really a kind father," Zhu Lin said.
"Old thing, you always say nice words to fool me." If he was really a kind father, the Crown Prince would not have gone. After all, he was just an ordinary person among the common people. He could not see through power and suffered the consequences of his own actions. When the Crown Prince passed away, he suddenly realized it, but it was too late. The Crown Prince would not come back, and his other sons would not come back either.
After the Jia Zhen left the palace gate, he went directly to the shop. In the end, the steward of the shop reported that the madams had not yet left and that the madams had to continue to accompany them. When the Jia Zhen heard this, he did not say anything. He just parked the carriage in the shop and went to the teahouse to drink tea while waiting for the Xia Lu. At the same time, he also checked the enemy's situation to see if there were any good storytellers. When the time came for his shop to open, he could invite these storytellers to the shop. After all, they sang opera all day long, and he would get tired of listening to it too much.
The Jia Zhen listened to the storytellers in the teahouse and felt that it was quite boring. They were either strange stories or stories about scholars and beauties. They were not as novel as the stories his wife told him and the travel notes of Madam Sun written by his wife. Madam Sun had already started her life on the deserted island. Her house had been built, drinking water had been found, and she had a source of food. When Lord Sun stopped complaining, he realized that his wife had done so many things unknowingly. Only then did Lord Sun begin to reflect on himself. It was also at this time that Madam Sun proposed a divorce for the first time.
The Jia Zhen wanted to know if Lord Sun had agreed or not. However, his wife was a very principled person and firmly refused to reveal any spoilers. She said that it would be meaningless to tell the rest of the story. When the storytellers told the story, they would also add a sentence. If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter.
The Jia Zhen could not win against his wife. Until now, he still did not know if Lord Sun had agreed to the divorce. He now hoped that his wife would finish her work quickly and finish writing Madam Sun's travel notes.
The Jia Zhen was immersed in his own thoughts. However, at this time, there was a commotion in the teahouse. At this time, the Jia Zhen came back to his senses. The storytellers had already left. The ones who caused the commotion were a pair of grandmother and granddaughter. Looking at the musical instruments in their hands, they should be performing in the teahouse. Although they were here to perform, the granddaughter of the grandmother and granddaughter was really good-looking. However, she should be twelve or thirteen years old. She was old enough to get married. Why was she still running around outside?
Although the Jia Zhen was angry, he did not want to get in touch with the grandmother and granddaughter. His wife said that women were very troublesome, especially beautiful women. They were even more troublesome. And he hated trouble the most. Sure enough, it did not take long for someone to come to the door.
He knew the person who came to the door. He was a side branch of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince's family. No, it should be said that he was a distant relative. Relying on his little relationship with the Nan' an Commandery Prince's family, he was usually very arrogant. Of course, he also knew how to judge the situation. If the person's identity was particularly noble, he would still be a little inferior. He was also a little smart. Otherwise, even if he was a distant relative of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince's family, he would not dare to be so arrogant.
The Jia Zhen recognized the person and did not intend to be nosy. He had no intention of saving the grandmother and granddaughter at all. After all, after he started, it would lead to countless troubles. He still had to go back to pick up his wife. He did not have the time to deal with this trouble. Besides, this girl was so beautiful. If his wife took a fancy to her, wouldn't he suffer a great loss? He just pretended that he knew everything and was just passing by.
Sometimes, you can't keep a low profile just because you want to. The granddaughter did not know when she noticed the Jia Zhen. Just as the Jia Zhen was about to pay the bill and leave, the woman rushed towards him.
"Master, be careful!" Zhong 'er saw the woman rushing over and quickly rushed in front of the Jia Zhen to stop her.
"Save me, please, save me!" The woman was stopped by Zhong. She looked at the Jia Zhen with pleading eyes. This master could save her. He could definitely save her.
The distant relative of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince also came over. He did not notice the Jia Zhen at first and wanted to warn Zhong not to meddle in other people's business. In the end, he glanced and saw the Jia Zhen's face. "Oh, isn't this Earl Jia? How did I meet you here? It's like the flood rushing to the Dragon King's temple. Does Earl Jia also like this woman? If Earl Jia likes her, then you can take her away. Just treat it as me, Mu Yu, becoming friends with Earl Jia. "
Hearing Mu Yu's words, the Jia Zhen was so angry that he laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be friends with this master? When this master came out, you were still nowhere. Zhong 'er, beat this master! "The Jia Zhen, who was in a hurry to leave, was not in a hurry anymore. He sat down and asked the waiter to serve him another cup of tea. He watched with interest as Zhong' er led his men to beat up the distant relative of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince. He had not been in the capital for a long time, but he dared to climb over his head alone.
"Earl Jia, please spare my life. I was wrong. I am the cousin of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince." Mu Yu's men were not as good as Zhong' er's. They were all soldiers and had extraordinary skills.
"The cousin of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince?" The Jia Zhen laughed with interest.
"Yes, yes, yes. The Jia family and the Nan 'an Commandery Prince have been friends since the founding of the country," Mu Yu said while dodging.
"The cousin of the Nan 'an Commandery Prince? How come this master doesn't know that the Nan 'an Commandery Prince has a cousin? It seems like this master is really ignorant. Good, this master also wants to write a letter to the Nan 'an Commandery Prince. If the family's dog hasn't been trained properly, then don't let it out to bark. If it annoys this master, then it's fine. Considering the relationship between the two families, this master won't argue with a dog. However, if it annoys someone else, then it will be a big joke. "The Jia Zhen looked at Mu Yu on the ground. He was not afraid of offending the Nan' an Commandery Prince at all. The Nan 'an Commandery Prince was very ambitious and had long been on different paths from the Jia family.
The Jia Zhen looked at the unconscious Mu Yu and said, "Zhong 'er, take him to the medical hall for treatment. If there are no problems, then send him to the Nan' an Commandery Prince's residence."
"Yes." Zhong 'er glanced at the two servants. The servants understood and quickly stood up to carry Mu Yu to the medical hall.
"Zhong 'er, let's go." The vicious dog that bit people was gone. He had to go back. It was almost time for him to go back and pick up his wife. The Jia Zhen was in a very good mood and did not look at the woman who was saved at all.
"Master." The woman saw that the Jia Zhen was about to leave and quickly wanted to follow him. However, she was stopped by Zhong 'er.
"Miss, the matter has been resolved. That person won't be watching you anymore. Don't use your good looks to do anything irrational." Zhong 'er looked at the woman with a smile.
The woman's heart jumped, as if she had been completely seen through. She felt guilty and quickly said, "I didn't."
