"With Xu Gong's financial resources, can't he still afford a bloody horse?"
Haogong Qianhe said in surprise,
"I'm afraid if I just make a move casually, it's not a problem to buy ten or eight horses!"
Although Fenglei Bank is controlled by the royal family, with its huge profits, the annual dividend alone is an astonishing figure, right?
She didn't believe it if Xu Fenglei didn't have money to buy a horse.
"Ha... you don't understand."
Xu Fenglei patted the sweaty horse's head and said with a smile,
"Who is rich enough to buy this guy? The horse is a good horse, but it is not worth a thousand gold. In my eyes, it is not even worth a hundred gold. After all, an ordinary horse only costs more than ten taels of gold a piece, and it can still be ridden. You can still have fun."
"This bloody horse is a luxury product, and the premium is too high! Unless we are really rich, we will never buy it. Whoever wants to be taken advantage of will be taken advantage of!"
Haomiya Qianhe: "..."
Am I the one who was taken advantage of?
I still borrowed money to buy it!
Isn't he the best among those who have been taken advantage of?
"哕啕!"
The sweaty horse shook his head and raised his head a little arrogantly, not letting Xu Fenglei touch it again, as if he was dissatisfied with his words.
"Hey, this horse is quite humane..."
Xu Fenglei retracted his hand and said with a smile,
"I won't buy it, but if someone is willing to give me this horse, I will still be very happy."
"I hope that one day, someone will be willing to spend a lot of money to give me a bloody horse. Then I will definitely treat him as a close friend."
After all, in this world, everyone is like a monkey, and not many people are willing to be taken advantage of.
Every person who has been taken advantage of was an angel with broken wings in his previous life... Yeah.
"This time I came to Tang in a hurry and not fully prepared."
Haogong Qianhe said,
"If you visit the Tang Dynasty again next time, Qianhe will definitely give Mr. Xu a BMW!"
Snap.
Xu Fenglei patted the horse's neck and grinned.
"It can be seen that Princess Qianhe is a sincere person."
He cupped his hands slightly and said,
"Then I have to look forward to it. If that day comes, I will definitely make Princess Qianhe my best friend, and we will have a good time drinking and talking, hahaha..."
Haomiya Qianhe: "..."
Giving you good things is sincerity and a best friend, right?
I gave you the national treasure "Sangluan Tie" before. It's not enough, right?
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and returned the greeting:
"sure."
"Getting back to the subject, I would also like to ask Mr. Xu to present this horse to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. Due to personal reasons, Qianhe cannot stay in the Tang Dynasty for too long..."
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help showing surprise.
"Oh? What, Princess Qianhe wants to return to Japan?"
He continued,
"Why are you in such a hurry? Our Tang Dynasty still has boundless beauty and customs. You haven't seen it yet. Wouldn't it be a pity to go back after just a quick glance?"
"At the very least, you should take a tour of Chang'an, right? The flowers in Chang'an are unique and worth appreciating!"
Haogong Qianhe smiled helplessly.
"Qianzhe has the king's destiny and dare not covet pleasure."
She cupped her hands and said,
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your kindness. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely see all the flowers in Chang'an and travel to every scenery in the Tang Dynasty."
"But this time, time is really tight, so Qianhe can only boldly urge you."
Xu Fenglei suddenly realized, and immediately showed a look of regret.
"Tsk...that's going to be difficult!"
He sighed softly,
"I also want to get this done for you quickly, but now you can only wait..."
Haogong Qianhe's heart tightened.
"Why did Mr. Xu say this?"
She was anxious and said hurriedly,
"It's just a gift. Didn't you just enter the palace today? Why is it so difficult?"
"If you feel that a piece of "Mourning Notes" is not enough, Qianhe promises you that as long as you return to Japan to raise gold and silver, you will definitely give it to you with a thousand pieces of gold! You like sweat horses... I will give you two when the time comes! That's great! ?”
"I really can't afford to delay any more! Please do me a favor, Mr. Xu. Qianhe is begging you!"
This time, Haomiya Qianhe is really anxious! I thought Xu Fenglei was deliberately setting up obstacles, so he spoke much more straightforwardly.
Don’t you just want the benefits?
I give! I'll give them all!
All I ask is that you be smarter! Ok?
I'm so anxious...
When Xu Fenglei heard this, his face suddenly sank.
"Who does Princess Qianhe think Xu is?"
He said displeasedly,
"Do you think I'm deliberately blocking you to ask for a bribe?"
"Haha! Then you really look down on me! I, Xu Fenglei, am the Grand Master of the imperial dynasty and the Duke of the country with thousands of households in the city! How could I miss such a thing?"
"How ridiculous!"
Xu Fenglei flicked his sleeves and turned around without even looking at Haogong Qianhe.
"No, no, no... Chizuru didn't mean that, not at all!"
Haogong Qianhe was panicked and quickly begged,
"You misunderstood, you really misunderstood!"
"I……"
"No need to say any more!" Xu Fenglei suddenly raised his hand and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Come on! Get the "Sang Luan Tie" and return it to Princess Qianhe, and then see her off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left!
"No!"
Seeing Xu Fenglei's 180-degree change in attitude, Haogong Qianhe was completely panicked. Seeing that she couldn't be coaxed back, her knees weakened.
With a pop, he fell to his knees!
"Mr. Xu! Qianhe really didn't mean that..."
Haogong Qianhe's eyes turned red, she knelt down and cried,
"Please don't misunderstand me. All mistakes are Qianhe's fault..."
"I should...should hit, should hit!"
Snapped!
She was so cruel that she slapped her pink face, leaving a red mark.
And this crisp sound also successfully made Xu Fenglei stop and never leave again.
This Japanese girl is so cruel to herself!
"...That's all."
Xu Fenglei's face softened a little and said,
"I just assumed it was unintentional and I don't blame you."
"Get up."
"However, what you said just now is very rude. Just tell me. I will forgive you now that I am soft-hearted. But if it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would be angry and even treat you as an enemy. .”
"Understand?"
After saying these words, Xu Fenglei suddenly felt a little strange.
Eh.
Why did I fall in love with Hiromiya Chizuru PUA?
"Yes Yes."
Haomiya Qianhe showed a grateful look, stood up slowly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly,
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your tolerance. Qianhe will remember... I will never make such a mistake again in the future."
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"The reason why I said it is difficult is actually for a reason. I thought you knew it."
He said,
"Princess Qianhe, don't you know that His Majesty has left Chang'an and went to the palace to escape the summer heat?"
Haomiya Qianhe was stunned.
"Escape from the summer heat? I...I don't know..."
she said blankly.
Li Shimin is not in Chang'an? Did you run outside?
Completely unaware! No news at all!
At this moment, Haogong Qianhe was completely down...
"Then your information is really ill-informed."
Xu Fenglei spread his hands and said,
"His Majesty went to the palace to escape the summer heat two days ago. It is estimated that he will be here soon."
"All the ministers in the court know about this. You can find out by just asking around...don't you live in Chang'an Post House?"
Haomiya Qianhe: "..."
She lives in Chang'an Yiguan, but she has been busy buying and organizing books these days and has not even bothered to understand current affairs.
Who would have thought that...the emperor would actually leave the palace? !
Isn't this noisy...
"That……"
She showed a stiff smile and said,
"How long will it take for His Majesty the Emperor to come back?"
Xu Fenglei raised his head.
"Well...it's hard to say. It depends on His Majesty's mood."
He mused,
"If nothing happens in the court, he will stay in the palace for at least two months and will not come back until this summer is over."
"If you're happy, it's possible to stay for a month or two longer..."
When Haogong Qianhe heard this, she felt dizzy.
If she had to wait for a month, she would have to wait. At worst, the journey back to Japan would be shabby, and her father would scold her again.
It starts in two months, is there any cap?
Then what are you waiting for? I can't wait...
"...Can I go to the palace to meet you?"
Haogong Qianhe still didn't give up and asked through gritted teeth,
"Just meet once, really... just meet once..."
Xu Fenglei glanced at her.
"Princess Qianzuru, are you crazy?"
He said with a strange expression,
"Your Majesty is in the palace. Not to mention foreigners like you, even us ministers in the court, if there is no important matter, he will not see you. Not only will he not see you, he will also scold you."
"You still don't have this kind of heart. I can tell you clearly that this road will not work."
This woman really wants to see the emperor and wants to go crazy!
You can't even see him in Chang'an, so you still want to go to the palace to see him? Really living in a dream...
"Then, what should we do, what should we do..."
Haogong Qianhe's idea was ruthlessly rejected by Xu Fenglei, and she looked a little lost.
She looked ashen and murmured;
"Why is it so difficult, so difficult..."
She just wanted to see Li Shimin! I tried every trick, but still couldn't get what I wanted.
At this moment, I was so emotionally entangled that I almost became an obsession!
"Hey... I don't even know why you are so persistent. Do you insist on seeing His Majesty? So what if you don't meet?"
Xu Fenglei sighed softly and said helplessly,
"Actually, our Majesty is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have three heads and six arms, and eighteen martial arts skills! If he is handsome, I feel that I am similar to him. I even think I am a little more handsome than him."
"It's really not as amazing as you think... If you insist on seeing me, then you can just wait. However, if you stay in Chang'an Posthouse for a long time, Honglu Temple may not include food and accommodation. You need to pay for accommodation, food and drink at your own expense. This is a good idea. The problem... solve this problem, you can live in Chang'an as long as you want, you can stay in Chang'an for the rest of your life."
Haomiya Qianhe smiled bitterly.
Of course she knew that Honglu Temple was not a charity temple.
Foreign envoys like them usually stay in Chang'an for a decade, or at most half a month, and then go back after the exchange. During this period, all food and accommodation are naturally included.
But if it takes too long, then people will not care about it, and they will have to charge...
To solve this problem, it is indeed possible to insist on staying there...but money is her biggest headache at this stage!
Japan didn't just have one princess and two envoys, but an entire envoy, totaling fifty people!
Think about it, these fifty people have to eat every day they open their eyes...
Long stay? Where does the money come from?
The valuable things have either been sold or mortgaged, and then I'm afraid she will have to sell herself... maybe even that won't be enough.
At this moment, Haomiya Chizuru felt that she had reached the end of her rope...
"Okay, okay...Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your advice. Qianhe...takes leave."
She weakly arched her hands towards Xu Fenglei, drooped her head, turned around and left.
"Eh."
Xu Fenglei shouted,
"Princess Qianhe, don't forget to take your bloody horse with you!"
"I deeply regret that I can't help you. Don't be discouraged. His Majesty is right there. You will definitely be able to see him next time you come to Chang'an, I promise."
Haogong Qianhe stopped.
She turned to look at the sweaty horse and tugged on its reins.
"Thank you Mr. Xu."
She held the reins in her hand, bowed slightly, and whispered,
"Farewell."
Now this bloody horse is her entire net worth——
Since Li Shimin was sure that she would never see him again, she could only send the horse back.
With those one thousand taels of gold, I can at least take care of the envoy's food, drink and sleep, and the journey home will be much easier.
"Tsk tsk..."
Xu Fenglei looked at her bleak back as she receded and admired,
"What a good horse... Look at that horse's ass, how sexy it is..."
"No, I have to find a way to get someone to give me one too!"
"..."
After sending away Haogong Qianhe, Xu Fenglei was about to go back to the house to rest, but saw two figures crossing the threshold outside the house.
Taking a closer look, they turned out to be the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben!
"Why are these two here?"
Xu Fenglei was a little confused and stepped forward to greet him.
"Buzun!"
"I've met the minister!"
When Yan Lide and Yan Liben met Xu Fenglei, they both bowed respectfully.
Xu Fenglei raised his hand.
"Why are you two here? What happened to the Ministry of Industry again?"
He was naturally more casual about these two old subordinates.
"Minister, who is the woman who just left the house?"
Yan Liben winked and said with a smile,
"She is a very beautiful woman! But her face is not very pretty..."
Snapped!
Yan Lide slapped his brother on the head.
"There are no rules! Are you allowed to inquire about the minister's personal affairs?"
he rebuked,
"Shut up!"
Yan Liben let out an ouch and immediately fell silent, not daring to speak any more.
"No, this is not a private matter, and I have nothing to do with that woman."
Xu Fenglei raised his hand and said, "She is Princess Haogong Qianhe of Japan. She came to me to see His Majesty, but unfortunately, Your Majesty is not here."
"So she left disappointed. It's as simple as that. I'm aboveboard and don't have all the mess you think."
"If I hear any gossip about me, I will tear both of your mouths apart, do you understand?"
The two brothers were stunned and nodded in agreement.
"What on earth are you doing here? If you fart, hurry up!"
Xu Fenglei said impatiently,
"I don't even have to calm down at home..."
"Minister, it's like this..." Yan Liben got a little bolder, and he showed a flattering look and said with a smile, "I heard that Your Majesty left the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" with you before he left."
"My brother and I have no other intention. We just want to observe Wang Xizhi's original work and see what the world's best running script looks like."
"Look..."
