please make me king

Chapter 1497 Death asks for money

"Come here, there's no one!" Zhang Shun sneakily observed the surrounding situation at the back door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then he beckoned in a low voice.

Immediately, a woman in a white blouse with a red belly lining also tiptoed out.

The person who came was none other than Queen Zhou who was "hidden in the golden house" by Zhang Shun.

It was said that the five of them had finally finished their breakfast, Zhang Shun saw that the girls were naked and unseemly, ahem, he was actually afraid that he would die, so he offered to put clothes on for them.

So, under the guidance of the girls, he retrieved the clothes for them.

Now that he was neatly dressed, Zhang Shun brazenly asked them to repay him.

After the four daughters went through this incident, they were not so disgusted with him.

Not saying yes, not saying no, just silently acquiescing.

Therefore, Zhang Shun took the lead in loosening the cloth strips tied to Empress Zhou, and took her out secretly.

"Where are you going?" Empress Zhou said shyly as soon as she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It turned out that Zhang Shun didn't know whether it was intentional or not, when she retrieved the clothes for them, she only found the coat, but not the obscene clothes, and she was missing only one piece of clothing.

Empress Zhou only felt that her body was chilly, as if she was not wearing any clothes, and she was quite uneasy.

"Go to Qianqing Palace!" Zhang Shun approached, and responded in a low voice, but unexpectedly, he smelled a fragrance.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, and asked casually, "Huh? It smells so good, what kind of fragrance is this?"

"Yes...it's the fragrance of jasmine..." Queen Zhou murmured cautiously.

Jasmine has the sweetness of roses, the fragrance of plum blossoms, the remoteness of orchids, and the elegance of magnolias.

It turned out that the queen's family lived in Suzhou this week, and she was not allowed to return to her hometown after entering the palace, so she planted more than 60 jasmine plants in Kunning Palace, and Liao Wei felt homesick.

When the jasmine flowers are in bloom, she likes to pick jasmine flowers and gather them into balls and decorate them on the temples.

The seeds of Mirabilis jasmine flowers in the palace were collected, the shells were removed, ground and steamed, the powder was as white as jade, named "pearl powder", and it was used as a spice, so it has a floral fragrance.

Of course, Zhang Shun couldn't understand the reason, but when he heard the word, he couldn't help blurting out a familiar sentence: "What a beautiful jasmine!"

As soon as Zhang Shun said these words, he immediately saw Empress Zhou with jade-like skin, her neck turned red instantly to the roots of her ears.

This woman is so lovely, like a mimosa, it can't stand the slightest teasing.

"What a jasmine, what a jasmine, the fragrance of flowers and plants in the garden is not as fragrant as her. I want to pick one and wear it, but I am afraid that it will not sprout in the next year..." As a result, when Zhang Shun was daydreaming for no reason, Queen Zhou suddenly groaned Played a tune.

The familiar tune, the familiar rhythm, Zhang Shun somehow sounded familiar.

"You...how do you know this song?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback, and asked.

"Uh..." Empress Zhou, who was singing in a low voice, was taken aback when she heard Zhang Shun's words, and then said in a low voice.

"Just now I...I heard your tune, and suddenly...suddenly remembered the "Flower Tune" in my hometown..."

It turned out that when Queen Zhou was a child, she had spent a good time in Wu County, Suzhou, so she could hum a few tunes from her hometown even though she couldn't understand the rhythm.

And it’s so hard to die, this "Flower Tune" is the predecessor of "Jasmine Flower" in Zhang Shun's previous life, and the history overlaps strangely here.

"Singing is really good!" Zhang Shun sincerely praised.

"Don't...don't make fun of me...I...I don't know the rhythm at all..." It's funny to say, although Queen Zhou is known as a virtuous queen, except for "knowing calligraphy and painting, and knowing the nature of medicine", all the skill points seem to be the same. They all focus on textiles, women's reds and housework.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she is still yearning for the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding and gardening that release women's nature, but she is bound by "female virtues" and dare not go half a step beyond the threshold.

Because of this, she is full of "envy, jealousy and hatred" towards Concubine Tian Gui who happens to be good at these things.

"I didn't make fun of it, I'm also tone deaf..." Compared to Queen Zhou's lack of confidence, Zhang Shun was much more confident.

"Then you still say it sounds good..." Queen Zhou was dizzy, how can there be such a person in the world, you don't understand anything, and you dare to speak boldly.

"Even if I'm tone deaf, can't I tell if it's good or bad?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing as he looked at the confused Queen Zhou.

At that moment, he could feel that she was homesick.

A woman who was as deep as the sea when she first entered the palace hadn't been back to her hometown for many years, so she inevitably felt a little homesick, just like herself.

At the same time, the world is reduced to people, so why meet each other before!

"It's here!" Zhang Shun sighed, pushed away from the side of Qianqing Palace and said.

"Come...why are you here?" Empress Zhou looked at the empty Qianqing Palace, a little scared.

"Get in!" Zhang Shun pointed to the royal case in front of the dragon chair, and ordered playfully.

"Ah?" Queen Zhou was taken aback when she heard the words, and at the same time, she also had some vague guesses in her heart.

"No...I can't..." She said with a blushing pretty face.

"If you keep dawdling, someone will come in a while!" Zhang Shun looked at her with a half-smile and said.

This woman was quite tough at the beginning, but she was a bit desperate for face.

"Ah!" Empress Zhou was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly got under the imperial case aggrieved, and then raised her buttocks.

Zhang Shun sat on the dragon chair loudly, looked at Queen Zhou's butt, slapped his face funnyly and said, "Lie down, don't make small moves!"

In fact, when he first lied to her to go out, he really had such evil thoughts.

However, when she sang the song "Flower Tune", his charming thoughts disappeared.

"Criminal Zhou Kui, I have met Your Majesty." Not long after Queen Zhou hid, her father's voice sounded outside.

She couldn't help but her heart trembled, and she immediately understood what she had escaped just now.

"Zhou Kui, get up!" Zhang Shun couldn't help saying politely when he saw his cheap father-in-law.

"That... That, although there is something that is not easy to say, I think about it, it's better to mention it to you."

"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Zhou Kui's voice visibly trembled.

"That's right, your daughter Queen Zhou is in my hands!" Zhang Shunshi said in shock, "I don't know how much money you are willing to pay to redeem her?"

"Ah?" Zhou Kui was obviously taken aback. He hadn't thought of Zhang Shun's words, so he couldn't help but draw a number and said, "That, that, I will come out"

"50 taels?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being overjoyed.

As a result, there was a long silence, and Zhang Shun's disappointed voice sounded again: "Fifty thousand?"

"Five thousand?"

"500 taels!" Zhou Kui replied in pain.

Empress Zhou couldn't believe her ears. She had heard Concubine Tian Gui said that her family was rich, but she also said that this time she could escape from the fire pit.

As a result, I was only worth 500 taels in my father's mind, not even as valuable as a famous Jiangnan prostitute.

"Hey, the little old man was originally a fortune teller, and his family has no money. The family has no money, so where can I have money with you?" Zhou Kui said awkwardly.

"Either way, the little girl is quite pretty, Your Majesty, just stay by your side and listen to it."

When Queen Zhou heard the words, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she couldn't help but think of the words she used to scold Zhang Shun at the beginning: Shameless!
As a woman, there are only three people she can rely on in this era: husband, son and father.

Now her husband is dead and her son is still young.

The only thing she could rely on was her old father, but it turned out that the only father she could rely on was actually this kind of person.

If it wasn't for the consideration of face, she couldn't help jumping out and questioning him: Isn't your daughter a human being in your eyes?

"Is that so?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun laughed, "You mean, you want to remarry your daughter to this king?"

"No wonder you are a fortune teller, you are a good abacus!"

No, what does it have to do with me being a fortune teller and whether I can make a fortune teller?Zhou Kui was a little confused.

"Well, since you want to remarry your daughter to this king, then...then take out 100 million taels of silver as a dowry!" Zhang Shun's shameless voice sounded at the right time.

In terms of shamelessness, it must be you, King Shun!
This sentence came to the minds of Queen Zhou and Zhou Kui's father and daughter at the same time.

"Let's not say that the little old man doesn't have 100 million yuan. Even if he did, there is no reason to pay for his daughter and money?" Zhou Kui said with a look of astonishment.

"Zhou Guozhang, your calculations are wrong!" I heard Zhang Shun laughing, "Let's not say that your daughter is a second marriage, and she also brought two or three oil bottles. If you want to marry a good family, it is difficult what!"

"Let's just say that you are a fortune teller, where did you come from such wealth? Why don't you just sell a cough and marry your daughter?"

"Let's not talk about marrying your daughter or not, let's put your daughter aside."

"As the saying goes: Once the emperor and the courtiers, not to mention that the dynasty has changed now. For a remnant of the previous dynasty like you, killing the whole family and serving as official prostitutes is the most basic operation, right?"

"What is your money? That's my money, even your daughter should be mine!"

"Now take my 100 taels of silver to buy your family's wealth and life, and my daughter who should belong to me, and get a big backer for no reason. Where can you find such a business?"

"If it weren't for the fact that this king is going to be the emperor soon, would it be your turn to do such a business?"

"Uh uh." Zhou Kui was dumbfounded for a while, and Queen Zhou was also dumbfounded. Is there such a way of calculating accounts in the world?

Zhang Shun saw that the fire was almost ready, so he said earnestly: "Master Zhou, we are a family, cough cough, we will be a family soon, let's not talk about two families."

"It is important to know that money is nothing more than a possession outside the body. Being able to earn money is not a skill, but being able to spend money is a skill."

"Saving money, you can't save tens of millions of family assets. You can only get rich if you see the right time and put all your eggs in one basket."

"Before, I had a... friend who was just a wealthy local man. Because he believed me = this king's words, he spent all his wealth and supported the rebel army."

"Nowadays we don't say that the rich are incomparable to the country, but it is completely fine to call Li Bancheng and Li Ka-shing respectfully."

"What are you waiting for? 100 million, you can't buy it to lose money, and you can't buy it to be fooled!"

"As long as you think about it carefully, now that the new dynasty is just established, how many people are hopeless, and how many people have nowhere to go. If you take the lead in becoming a dignitary of the new dynasty, how many people will have to step through the threshold of your family?"

"These people range from gentry to civil servants and military generals. They are all millionaires. By the way, you can collect tens of millions of taels, isn't it too much?"

"You have to know that besides your daughter, this king now has Concubine Tian Gui, Concubine Yuan Gui and a bunch of other old concubines."

"All of them are like hungry wolves, their eyes are green, and they have already set their sights on this piece of fat."

"Hands are fast, hands are slow!"

"If you don't eat it, they will eat it; if you don't eat it, they will eat it!"

What Zhang Shun said made Zhou Kui's blood boil.

He couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, I've made this deal, and I'll pay 100 million!"

"Ah, that's good, come on, let's use empty words as evidence, and sign it and you will be my father-in-law!" Zhang Shun smiled like a devil, and asked the little eunuch to hand over the document.

Zhou Kui didn't even look at it that day, he signed the calligraphy and painting and put it on the mortgage.

"Okay, it's finished!" Seeing that everyone had gone out, Zhang Shun patted Queen Zhou and said.

"Ah? Uh" Not long after, Empress Zhou came out from under the imperial case, with a pretty face like a kaleidoscope, looking at Zhang Shun complicatedly.

She wanted to reprimand Zhang Shun for provoking her father-daughter relationship, but couldn't help but want to ask if she could get a share, and for a while she didn't know what expression to make.
