I don't want to be king

Chapter 384
Tears are hazy, and I feel pity.

Lin Yi was unmoved, without any intention of consoling, but said lightly, "What do you want to say, just finish it in one breath, don't hesitate."

There was even a trace of impatience in his tone.

He had already guessed what she wanted to say, but he didn't point it out.

There are some things that she still needs to say by herself, and she is destined not to be that "confidant" lover.

The days of getting along are too short, and he still doesn't know where her lower limit is. If he is arrogant because of his favor, he will still hurt her in the end.

After all, she is not her own mother.

He can tolerate all kinds of wrong things done by his own mother, but he may not be able to tolerate her doing wrong things. If she does wrong things, how to deal with them will be very embarrassing for him. .

Therefore, in order not to embarrass yourself, it's better not to spoil her so easily, otherwise it will be killing her.

As for whether she is satisfied or not, happy or not, he doesn't care.

The moment he came to Ankang City and stood in the court to confront his father, he understood a truth.

As long as he is strong enough in force and high enough in status, even if his emotional intelligence is zero and his temper is stinking to death, others will adapt to him, not him to others.

He can't thank his ears, but it doesn't prevent him from being a domineering president.

Everything he says now is the truth.

"My lord,"

Hu Miaoyi sobbed, "The concubine wants to go home to visit her relatives, and I hope the prince will grant her permission."

Through these days of contact, the man in front of her was sometimes childish and sometimes arrogant, and she became more and more incomprehensible, always feeling white and hazy, making herself at a loss what to do.

"Go home,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's such a simple thing, the door is open, no one is stopping you, just go home by yourself, such a simple thing, do you need to tell me specifically?"

"My lord,"

Hu Miaoyi glanced at Lin Yi, and said resentfully, "I understand."

Although she was reluctant to marry into He Wangfu, but the matter has come to this point, in terms of status, she is already a princess.

Now it's no longer time to be a girl, she's out and about, and she can go back whenever she wants.

The door with the prince is also open, but she can't come in and out casually, she has to have her own guard of honor.

If you don't talk to the prince, who dares to prepare for her easily?
If she rode back alone like when she was a girl, her face-saving father would definitely feel ashamed!

It's better not to go back than to make his face dull.

Since you want to go back, you must have a good time!
"What do you understand?"

Lin Yi asked knowingly.

"It's windy and cold outside, and the concubine won't be going back for the time being. Wait a few days, and the concubine will go back when the weather gets warmer."

Hu Miaoyi lowered her head and said.

She couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, she was really afraid that her father would be hungry at home.

Lin Yi said generously, "Since you want to go back, you can go back, and the king didn't say that you won't be allowed to go back, so why make such a fuss.

Xiao Yingzi. "

"My lord,"

Hong Ying hurried forward and said with a smile, "The little one is here."

Lin Yi said, "Show the gift list to the concubine later to see what to prepare for the county king tomorrow. You can't go back empty-handed."

He is really unhappy to take money to support his father-in-law!
But there is no way, I really starved my father-in-law to death, and I don't look good on myself!
"Thank you, Lord."

Hu Miaoyi couldn't help crying again.

"Don't cry,"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "If you cry again, this king will regret it."

"Yes."

Hu Miaoyi wept with joy.

Lin Yi looked a little crazy for a while.

I hope this girl can show some conscience and repay her.

Day two.

The snowstorm stopped.

"It's colder than snow."

Hu Zhen was lying on the bed with his head like a chicken coop, and he really didn't want to get up.

But there is no way, he got the news yesterday that his daughter is going home to visit her relatives today, and a large group of people will come over later, and it will be embarrassing to see that he is still lying on the bed.

He timidly got off the creaking bed, shivered and put on his jacket, tied his waist rope and poked his head towards the stove, muttering, "I don't know when the stove will be turned off, no wonder it's so cold gone."

After putting a shaved hat on his head, he stepped on the thick snow with his hands together and went straight to the kitchen. The leftover cold rice from yesterday was poured into the pot, and he started to cook gruel.

"Your Majesty?"

Jiao Zhong came in and said with a smile, "Haven't you eaten yet? It's easy to find, I thought it was somewhere."

Jiao Zhong watched King Heshun light the fire and add firewood, his skillful actions made people feel distressed.

This old thing was born extremely wealthy, he always stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth, but he never thought it would become like this.

"Hey, bad hospitality, bad hospitality,"

King Heshun stuffed the firewood into the stove hole, and then said with a smile, "Have a lot of fun."

To put it mildly, he is the father-in-law of the Regent!
It's too expensive!

However, what kind of hell is it like now?
Who can take him seriously?

He is self-aware!

Therefore, he dared not offend such a small guard as Jiao Zhong.

"Your Majesty, you've really broken my heart. If I didn't kowtow to you all the time, I deserved to die,"

That's what Jiao Zhong said, but his waist was still standing straight, and he said with a smile on his face, "Hurry up, the princess will be home soon.

Are you still in a hurry to clean up? "

"what!"

King Heshun was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "That's Prince He."

It's really inappropriate for the regent to see himself in such a mess!
At that time, it will not look good to let her daughter lose face.

"He and the prince didn't come,"

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "But what is the status of the princess, you can't neglect it, can you?"

"Yes Yes,"

King Heshun said as he fished porridge into the bowl, "Let me eat something first, I'm really hungry, and I don't have the strength to do other things."

The porridge was too hot, so he kept stirring it with chopsticks, occasionally taking a few sips.

"The king of the county,"

Jiao Zhong knew the reason and asked, "I have arranged several handymen for you before, what about that person?
These slaves are too outrageous, they dare to be lazy, the county king can rest assured that they will definitely break their legs when they turn around. "

He really didn't understand, how did the majestic county king change from having no worries about food and clothing to having no food and clothing?
Although their lords are stingy, they also made up 300 taels of silver back and forth!

300 taels of silver is enough for a family of more than ten to live a well-off life for three to five years.

It is more than enough to raise two or three handymen!
Unexpectedly, this old thing can be so prodigal, how long has it been, and can't even afford the monthly salary of the handyman?
"The old man has hands and feet, and he is still self-sufficient, why need others,"

King Heshun said with a sneer, "Don't bother Mr. Jiao."

"Hey,"

Jiao Zhong sighed, "I just found out that there are still people in your front yard?
County king, there is nothing wrong with renting out the empty house, but the princess will be back soon, what should I do if there is a collision? "

This house was originally owned by Qin Tong. After Qin Tong's house was ransacked, the house was given to King Heshun.

Unexpectedly, after the concubine entered the palace, the king of Heshun "made money well" and rented it out, leaving only a wing room and a kitchen for himself.

Now there are more than [-] tenants in it, and a good county palace has now turned into a large courtyard!

Of course, this is the county king's own business, he can't control it, but their prince's face is dull!

Isn't this slapping the prince in the face?
"Ouch!"

Hu Zhen patted his thigh with the hand holding the chopsticks, and said angrily, "Why did I forget this!"

Jiao Zhong said helplessly, "You keep resting, I'll drive people away for you."

He thought that if these tenants were kicked out in the cold, they would definitely have to argue with the county king, which would be a waste of time.

"Don't bother you, I'll go by myself,"

Hu Zhen hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, grabbed Jiao Zhong, and said with a smile, "I'll go and talk to them, let them go out and avoid it first."

He found these tenants through the dentist, and he will be able to collect the first rent in a few days!

Jiao Zhong and the others were vicious, if they were scared away and never came back, who would he ask to collect the money?

There's no place to cry then!

Therefore, he must personally discuss with his tenants, so as to appease them.

"The king of the county, hurry up,"

Jiao Zhong urged, "The princess will be here soon."

This old man is good at everything else, but he can't live a life.

Anyone with a little brain will not fall into this situation.

"I know, I know."

Hu Zhen ran away in a hurry.

Jiao Zhong only heard a noise, followed by chickens crowing and dogs barking.

I don't know, I thought it was a farm here.

"It's a nice house, but someone actually raises chickens. This King Heshun is really easy to talk to,"

Jiang Qiu next to him asked in disbelief, "Is this rent enough to repair the house?"

He was originally sent to work as a gardener in the back garden.

God is pitiful, fortunately, He Hong can think that he is a ninth rank!

Make him a bodyguard!
Otherwise, seeing the sky obey the orders of that old man Guo Zhao, he would even want to die.

Jiao Zhong snorted coldly, "Poor people must have something to hate, hey, left and right are not something we can worry about."

While talking, a group of people came out from the front yard with the old and the young, and Hu Zhen trotted over, opened the side door of the backyard, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, I, Hu, keep my word, and I will definitely waive everyone's rent for three days. "

"Hey, that's a deal"

"Don't lie to your account."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't disturb you"

A group of people chattered and went out of the small door one after another.

Jiao Zhong frowned and said, "Mother."

Jiang Qiu said angrily, "What's the problem?"

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "I'll just say they look familiar. I know two people. The bachelors in Ankang City all have a place to live in Nancheng. Although they are not very rich, they have not yet reached the point where they need to rent a house."

Jiang Chou, with his experience in the rivers and lakes, understood it all at once, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I live here because I want to use the name of the county king to deceive people everywhere. This county king is too careless, anyone dares to Take it to the house."

"Well, there's really no way to tell,"

Jiao Zhong rubbed his chin and said, "You can go to Fu Yin Yamen to give a message, everyone here has to find out the details, Cao Xiaohuan knows what to do.

Otherwise, some jokes will be made, which will hinder the reputation of the princess. "

The most important thing is that when something goes wrong, they are the ones who are responsible.

Jiang Qiu nodded and said, "I'll go right away."

Stretch out your body and float away.

Jiang Qiu's figure disappeared in an instant, Jiao Zhong muttered to himself, "Damn, your kung fu is really good."

Nine products!

He hasn't even broken the seventh rank yet!
"Brother Zhong, it's been a long time."

"Ok?"

Jiao Zhong turned his head and saw that the person who was greeting him was a tall, unshaven man, holding a Sanhe's unique tabby dog ​​in his hand.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember the name for a while.

"I'm Liu San,"

The big man cupped his hands and said, "You don't know me anymore?"

"Liu San?"

Jiao Zhong suddenly realized, "So it's you, you kid grew a beard and got fat again, I didn't even dare to admit it."

This person is Tian Shiyou's henchman. Back then, when he met such a person, he wouldn't even look straight at him.

However, now that Tian Shiyou's tide has risen, his dog legs have naturally followed suit.

"It's hard for Brother Zhong to remember a little guy like me,"

Liu San smiled and said, "I am very grateful."

Jiao Zhong asked puzzled, "Could it be that you also rented a house here?"

Liu San nodded and said, "I came back from Saibei with the army of Sanhe this time. The food and grass were handed over, and I didn't have anything to do. I wanted to go back to Sanhe, but the road was blocked by heavy snow, so I stayed here for two month, wait until spring begins.

The rent in Ankang City is not cheap, it's hard to find such a spacious and cheap place. "

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "You and your big bosses have already made a fortune, and you still care about such a small amount of money?"

"Brother Zhong was joking,"

Liu San clasped his hands and said, "It's not easy to get money, it's all by fighting for your life, so naturally cherish it.

Besides, in case of bad luck in two years, if you don't save money, the family will have eight children and three wives to support, and they will not be able to eat dirt?
So, when it’s time to save, you still have to save. "

Jiao Zhong said, "Hey, you bastards should get rich."

"My praise, my praise,"

Liu San smiled and said, "It's not about getting rich, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking."

Jiao Zhong waved his hand and said, "I won't talk to you when the princess returns home today, so hurry up and wait until I come to drink with you next time."

"So good."

After Liu San finished speaking, he led the two servants and left directly.

Hu Miaoyi's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Jiao Zhong hurriedly bowed his head with the guards.

"Father."

When he heard the voice of the princess, he felt choked up.

This is for sure, but I don't know whether I feel sorry for the county king, or I was crying because of the smell of the county king.

Prince Heshun's clothes probably haven't been changed for a month.

He just wanted King Heshun to change his clothes, but King Heshun hesitated for a while, but said he had no clothes to change.

In this county king's mansion, all things worth a little money were pawned by the county king.

Clothes, furniture, vases, the list goes on.

All that's left is the bed to sleep in and the pots and pans to cook in!
No one would have imagined that King Heshun would be in such a miserable situation!

Jiao Zhong waited at the door with a group of guards until noon, when Mingyue came out and threw him a handful of silver coins, asking him to go to the restaurant to serve wine and food, he readily agreed.

It seems that it is not until the evening, there is no way to go back.

To be on the safe side, he went directly to the nearby Jinfu Restaurant, which was owned by Pan Duo and others. From the cook to the waiters, they were all his own people.
