Hearing this, Wei Yushang had no choice but to walk out from among the maids and curtsey to Su Chengxuan first, then curtsy to Wei Wen, Dai Jun and Lu Qian respectively.
After the ceremony was over, Wei Wen asked in surprise, "Shang'er, what did you do in the princess's mansion?"
Wei Yushang smiled and said: "Dad, have you forgotten? Didn't I become a disciple of Mr. Chen yesterday? Naturally, I came to the princess's house to learn skills."
"Uh," Wei Wen suddenly said, "Look at your father's memory, he actually forgot about this matter."
A few people had something on their minds, and no matter how delicious the food was, they couldn't taste it. A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and all the dishes on the table were gone. Su Chengxuan put down the chopsticks in his hands, wiped his mouth with a shark handkerchief, and the maid brought it He gargled his mouth, rinsed his mouth again, and then said to Chen Xiaomu impatiently: "Your Majesty, would you please take out your treasure called concept and show it to your father?"
Chen Xiaomu secretly sighed and said with a wry smile: "Father, in fact, this concept is just a word. This word needs to be manipulated by those who understand it, so that it can be turned into nothing."
Su Chengxuan and others were stunned when they heard this, and after a while they frowned and asked in a depressed tone: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? My father has never heard of any porcelain worth more than three million taels." Yinzi, I heard from Prime Minister Wei that this porcelain of yours can be taken apart and sold. Can you take it out first and show your father what kind of porcelain it is? What is its use?"
This time it was Chen Xiaomu's turn to be dumbfounded. His father-in-law didn't even understand what he said! These are all that and that, they are not on the same path at all!
Seeing that Chen Xiaomu suddenly became silent, Su Chengxuan thought he was afraid that he would accidentally break the treasure when he took it out and there were so many people present. After all, porcelain is fragile, so he understood and said: "Your Majesty, please No, you can just take Father to see it alone."
Chen Xiaomu felt that this was a big misunderstanding, and it seemed that he couldn't explain it to these fools for a while. In the end, he might be charged with deceiving the emperor, but Chen Xiaomu had no choice but to follow Su Chengxuan's understanding. It's just nonsense, it's nonsense! He forced a smile and said: "Father, my porcelain called concept is very spiritual. If a real dragon emperor like you sees you, it will be frightened and lose its spirituality!"
Su Chengxuan curled his lips after hearing this, and said to himself: "Nonsense, I am just using the title of True Dragon Emperor to frighten the common people. How can I not know if I am the True Dragon Emperor? You kid is probably playing tricks on me again." It's just that Su Chengxuan thinks so in his heart, but he can't say openly in front of so many people, "It's okay, in fact, I am not a real dragon emperor, please take me to see it!" You must know that if he says this, he will undoubtedly seek death, unless he no longer wants to be the emperor.
Because Chen Xiaomu made up lies that he knew well to deceive himself, Su Chengxuan decided to give him a hard beating and said, "How about asking Prime Minister Wei to take a look at it for me?"
Chen Xiaomu still refused: "No, Prime Minister Wei, Wenquxing will descend to earth, and my treasure will lose its spiritual energy!"
Chen Xiaomu's words made Wei Wen confused for a moment. When did he become Wenquxing again? He bit his tongue secretly and said, "Ouch!" Wei Wen grinned and said, "It hurts." Alas, just this shows that he is an ordinary person! But although he knew that this was Chen Xiaomu putting a high hat on himself, Wei Wen couldn't stand up and say, "I'm just a mortal and that Wenquxing. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him either. The good face of the ancients is not as good as that of the later generations." Much more powerful, and even for trivial things, because he can't save face, and there are many murder cases, the only thing Wei Wen can do now is to show his humility to Chen Xiaomu, which is actually a half push. Accepted Chen Xiaomu's lies about him being Wen Quxing.
Chen Xiaomu was afraid that Su Chengxuan would ask Dai Jun or Lu Qian, or even Su Xingran to go see them for him. Then he would not be able to make these people gods, so he simply said to Su Chengxuan seriously: " Father, it’s not that I can’t look at this treasure, I’m just afraid that if the aura of the treasure disappears before I sell it, no one will pay a high price for it!”
After talking for a long time, Su Chengxuan and others could not figure out what the spiritual energy on the treasure that Chen Xiaomu mentioned was. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Huang Er, is there really any spiritual energy on your concept porcelain? This spiritual energy What’s the benefit?”
Chen Xiaomu pondered for a moment and decided to use the word concept as a metaphor to these fools in order to get away with it. He said to Su Chengxuan and others: "Father, let's go out to the yard and talk. Bar?"
Su Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, but in the end he nodded in agreement. Several people, including Su Xingran and Wei Yushang, followed curiously. Everyone wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Xiaomu's gourd.
Chen Xiaomu pointed to a peach tree in the corner of the yard and asked Su Chengxuan, "Father, do you think how much this peach tree can be sold for if we price it?"
Su Chengxuan was the emperor, so how could he know this? He couldn't help but look at his daughter Su Xingran beside him. Su Xingran quickly took over the topic and said with a smile: "It cost fifty yuan to buy this peach tree."
Chen Xiaomu nodded and said, "Fifty pennies is not much. If the peaches produced by this peach tree are all gold, wouldn't they be very valuable?"
"What!" Everyone thought they heard it wrong, because an inconspicuous little peach tree can still produce golden peaches. Su Xingran came over and touched Chen Xiaomu's forehead with his hand, and asked: "Husband, aren't you having a fever and talking nonsense? "
Seeing everyone looking at him like a fool, Chen Xiaomu defended: "I'm just making an analogy, understand? It's just an analogy!"
Everyone was relieved when they heard Chen Xiaomu's defense. Otherwise, they would have thought that he had become a fool, but when he raised this question, he was really no more than a fool.
Su Chengxuan's heart was moved at this moment, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, can it be that the aura of your treasure can make this peach tree bear golden peaches?"
Chen Xiaomu was startled for a moment. He didn't expect that the old father-in-law could connect these two things. It was really difficult for him. He immediately said: "Yes, it is true, but it will take at least two years to be soaked with spiritual energy to make this happen." A peach tree produced golden peaches, so I had to sell it first!"
"Oh, so that's it!" Su Chengxuan sighed, and then asked with concern: "Can such a priceless treasure easily find a buyer?"
Chen Xiaomu said: "We have already found several buyers in the Qin and Jin countries. It is estimated that they will be able to arrive in Xinjing in the next two days to inspect the goods."
''That's good! "Su Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief and put a stone in his heart. He warned: "Your Majesty, please don't go to court these days. Just concentrate on getting this matter done. I will ask Lu Jun to stay around Princess Qingfeng's mansion later. Send more manpower to strengthen the security. "
After finally fooling Su Chengxuan and others, before Chen Xiaomu could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Xingran took advantage of him, reached out and pinched his ears, and shouted: "Husband, you promised me at the princess residence not to talk nonsense in the court. , why are you still talking nonsense, what treasures do you have there? Why don’t I know?”
Chen Xiaomu didn't try to break free. Instead, he stretched out his hand to hug Su Xingran into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hard on her red lips, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Madam, your lips are so sweet!"
Su Xingran took up her shy fist and beat Chen Xiaomu's chest lightly, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to die, so many people are watching!"
Chen Xiaomu looked around with a smile and saw that the eyes of Wei Yushang and several maids were in panic for a moment.
Su Xingran broke away from Chen Xiaomu's arms, and her face suddenly turned serious and asked: "Husband, what exactly did you promise to my father in the court? Let my father come to the princess's house in person to see what happens!"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just promised your father to raise 3.5 million taels of silver and give it to the court for use in five days!" Chen Xiaomu said lightly.
"What? How much money did you say?" Su Xingran thought she had heard wrongly and asked in panic.
"Three and a half million taels!" Chen Xiaomu repeated it clearly again.
Su Xingran felt that her mind went blank, and all her strength seemed to be sucked out instantly. Her body began to stagger, and she almost fainted. It was probably not because Chen Xiaomu and Wei Yushang were holding her up one by one, and she fell straight down. On to the ground.
After a long while, Su Xingran raised her eyes and looked at Chen Xiaomu and said quietly: "Husband, I'm going to clean up. You can follow me into the palace right away!"
"What are you doing in the palace?" Chen Xiaomu asked in surprise.
Su Xingran glared at him angrily and said helplessly: "Enemy, you went there to get those three and a half million taels of silver in five days. I came to the palace to beg my mother and then my father to beg for mercy, and you got yourself into trouble." This matter has been pushed forward!"
"Uh, that's it!" Chen Xiaomu shook his head disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Su Xingran, you have to believe in your husband. Don't say 3.5 million taels of silver within five days, I will double it for you." It’s not difficult for a husband!”
Su Xingran rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaomu and said sadly: "Enemies, do you know that Jun Wu has said that since ancient times, if you tell the big story in front of all the officials in the court, you won't be able to raise any money by then, and I'm afraid even your father will It’s hard for the emperor to come forward to excuse you!”
When Chen Xiaomu heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Wife, after all your talk, are you still sure that I can't get this money? Don't worry, if I can't get this money, I will cut off my head. I will never harm you!"
Chen Xiaomu's words left Su Xingran speechless. To be honest, Su Xingran was not afraid that Chen Xiaomu would harm her, but she wanted to protect Chen Xiaomu from the bottom of her heart. Who knew that Chen Xiaomu actually misunderstood this.
Therefore, many times only women can understand women. Wei Yushang could see from the sidelines that Su Xingran was not afraid of hurting herself. She really liked Chen Xiaomu so much that she was afraid that something might happen to Chen Xiaomu, so she couldn't help but whisper to persuade him. Said: "Teacher, why don't you accompany the princess to the palace, even if you can have a backup then it would be good!"
Chen Xiaomu turned to look at Wei Yushang and said lightly: "What backup plan is there? There are so many Zheng Guo soldiers waiting for this money to support their families, and everyone in the court is hiding. Does this country not want it?"
"But!" Wei Yushang said, "Teacher, you only have five days to go there and raise so much money. I'm afraid even a god coming down to earth wouldn't be able to do it, right? Unless you really have that treasure and you happen to find it. Next home!"
''You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people have a clever plan. "Chen Xiaomu said confidently. After saying that, he gently hugged Su Xingran's shoulders and chuckled: "Madam, are you still angry at your husband? "
Su Xingran glared at him and said coquettishly: "You've already made me angry. Just tell us what we should do now, right?"
Chen Xiaomu was not polite and immediately ordered: "Honey, I need to find a few blacksmiths and carpenters in Xinjing City who are very skilled and have a full set of work tools. In addition, I will find Lu Yihe from your princess palace guard." Wang Wu, can you lend it to me for a while?"
"Husband, I can understand why you borrowed Lu Yi and Wang Wu to protect the money you raised, but why did you ask the blacksmith and carpenter for it?" Su Xingran asked in confusion.
Chen Xiaomu smiled and said, "Honey, I won't be able to explain this for a while. You can ask someone to help me find it. The sooner the better. They can pay as much as they want. Don't bargain."
"Okay, I'll send someone to take care of it." Su Xingran agreed without thinking twice.
"Teacher, what can I do?" Wei Yushang said shyly.
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment and said to Wei Yushang: "Yushang, go to Deweilou to find Lao Lu and his daughter Xiaocui who are responsible for slaughtering poultry, and see how they did what I told them yesterday. "
Wei Yushang nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, teacher, I'll go."
Chen Xiaomu pondered for a moment, then glanced at Su Xingran secretly, and saw that she was instructing a maid to find the female official named Furong. Then he walked up to Wei Yushang and asked in a low voice: "Yushang, your sister Wei Yuxin is here now." Where?"
Wei Yushang frowned and said: "Last night, after Yu Xin and dad met each other at Dewei Tower, they left in a hurry regardless of dad's repeated attempts to stay!"
"Oh, I understand, go ahead." Chen Xiaomu said casually.
Looking at Wei Yushang's retreating back, Su Xingran joked: "Husband, you even used Miss Wei?"
Chen Xiaomu sighed: "Otherwise, what can I do? Nowadays, I can only help a bank if I have money, but I can't help an individual if I don't have money!"
Su Xingran looked at him and smiled: "Do you think Miss Wei can't help you with your money? I heard that Dewei Restaurant is actually owned by her family, and she earns a lot of money every day!"
"Oh, really!" Chen Xiaomu was shocked. According to his estimate, the restaurant would be impossible to open without a hundred thousand taels of silver. From this, it seems that Wei Wen's net worth is quite rich, but this The words are divided into two parts. It is often said that three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Not to mention that Wei Wen has been the prime minister for many years, and the filial piety of the officials at all levels below is definitely indispensable. "
