Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

"The emperor is not satisfied with this, and has such a big appetite?"

This time, Cheng Daqi failed to provide any good ideas to the emperor. He talked about the matter after dinner, hoping to brainstorm ideas. Everyone discussed it for a while, but there was no good solution. They wanted to pay back their capital quickly, so It has to do with gambling. They don't dare to think about other salt and iron monopoly, but they don't dare to mention this gambling because there are laws in this dynasty that prohibit this.

After the sisters returned to their own courtyard, Cheng Xiaosi secretly complained, "It's only been a few months. We've raided two corrupt officials, discovered silver hidden in caves, and opened a Beijing-based elegant gathering. What's wrong with the emperor?" So impatient?"

"Would you like to go down with a hoe and dig out a mountain of gold?"

Cheng Sanniang lowered her voice, "I heard that the Dongshu side is booming. Now that the two sides are so close, the Emperor must be anxious."

"If I knew that my opponent was rich, it would be more uncomfortable than killing me."

Cheng Xiaosi has heard the name Dongshu many times, and he has a rough idea of ​​it. "How many good government decrees have been issued by others to support it, how many have our emperor given?"

"And it has been used for so many years. How can you eat a fat baby in one bite? Besides, Dongshu's prosperity depends on a prince? Are the others just eating dry food?"

Cheng Erniang knew this because she had heard General Yan say it before when she was at the Yan family, "I heard that all the princes in Dongshu are very capable and the courtiers are also very powerful. They said that as long as they visit Dongshu's country, they will return home." There was no one who didn’t shed his skin before.”

Cheng Xiaosi spread his hands and said, "This is the gap."

"The princes must be competing with each other. If you want to get ahead, you have to do good work. It's definitely not just cliques. If everyone wants to surpass each other, they must work hard. The emperor and the people are the ultimate beneficiaries. It is rare for the courtiers to be united. Look at them again, haha."

A prince and a third prince only know how to fight among themselves. You take a wife and I take a concubine. The same goes for the courtiers. Everyone forms a gang and takes sides. Who is still working?
"The layout is not bad at all."

Is it so easy to make money?
If the money earned by the Cheng family can support the court, how great would it be to become the emperor?

Cheng Sanniang asked her to keep her voice down, and said that there were actually many possibilities in the north of the city, but it just took time and there was no rush.

It's a pity that the sisters can't get too involved in what's going on outside, so they can only discuss it for a few words and then go to sleep.

But what the sisters didn't know was that their casual complaints reached the emperor's ears the next day. When they learned that Cheng Xiaosi said, "This is the difference" and "it's not even a little bit different," the emperor's His expression changed on the spot. First, he felt that Cheng Xiaosi was so brave, which was a naked look down on the royal family, and then he felt extremely dissatisfied with his two sons.

Even a girl can see the difference between them. The two bastards who only know how to fight in the den have not woken up at all. They only look for food in the court like hunting dogs. Whenever they see a fatter piece of meat, they want to dig it into their own. In the bowl.

When I think about comparing myself with the emperor of Dongshu, I feel panicked. If a girl looks down on him so much, what about the others?
"Summon the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to come and see you."

Renkang is back, and it's time for the Cheng family to get better. It's time for them to wake up. If they don't peel off their skin today, he won't be able to say this!

On this day, when Cheng Xiaosi was delighted that he could adjust the abacus fluently, an unexpected person came to the door of Shunyi Uncle's Mansion.

Prince Renkang, who was in charge of the southeast, came in person and asked to see Cheng Xiaosi by name.

The skeleton of the old man of the banker has not yet been buried. I heard that the preparations are almost done, so we are waiting for the auspicious day to arrive, and after the funeral, we can invite the old man to move into his new home. "Logically, the prince should have no time at this time."

Cheng Sanniang said: "Who knows, everyone is here, please hurry up."

Cheng Xiaosi didn't waste any time. After thinking about it, he took Shagen'er with him. Maybe someone came to ask what happened?
Cheng Daqi was not in the mansion today, and Cheng Daqian was called back temporarily. When he learned that a giant Buddha had arrived in the mansion, he did not dare to delay at all.Prince Renkang is a veteran on the battlefield, with superior force and intelligence. He only relied on his brains and overwhelming combat power to stabilize the southeastern part of Xijin. Even if he deliberately restrained his evil aura, Mr. Cheng was still nervous and uneasy, thinking in his heart Even if the prince comes, he has to shrink down.

At this moment, Prince Renkang didn't speak. He was just holding the tea cup in one hand and holding the lid of the tea cup with the other hand to gently stir up the floating tea on the tea. Cheng Dashan was beside him tremblingly. The smile on his face was almost unbearable. Fortunately, this At that time, Cheng Xiaosi came, followed by Sha Gener.

As soon as he entered the door, Shagen'er hid under the table, shivering.

Cheng Xiaosi first looked at the Renkang County Prince's Mansion, and then stepped forward to greet him.

"Miss Cheng Si, there is no need to be polite."

Prince Renkang's voice was extremely rich and powerful, giving people a sense of oppression. Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said: "I heard that the prince would be back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. The prince is here today, but what are your orders?"

Prince Renkang said: "I am very grateful to know that it was Miss Cheng Si who found the bones of my father. I came here today to express my gratitude."

As soon as he raised his hand, someone presented him with a box. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. They were piled up in a mess, which showed the generosity of its owner.

Cheng Xiaosi took a look and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't the one who discovered it. It was just that I found the jade pendant because of my love for pets and fun, and it just happened to be recognized by Young Master Yuan Wu. I don't dare to take credit."

"The fourth girl's unintentional act has solved my regret for many years. I should thank you."

This time Cheng Xiaosi accepted the box obediently and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that she was interested, Prince Renkang nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes fell on the shivering Sha Gen'er under the table, "Marmot, is this the fourth girl's pet?"

As expected, Cheng Xiaosi nodded, "It's a prairie dog. It belongs to Young Master Yuan Wu and has been kept here by me."

Prince Renkang smiled and said, "This little thing is the best at digging holes. I didn't expect that he could make meritorious deeds many times. The fourth girl is so lucky."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I still have things to do, so when I have time, please invite the fourth girl to come over and sit down."

Cheng Xiaosi nodded politely and sent him out. As soon as he left, Cheng Dashan became anxious, "Xiaosi, how could you accept such an expensive gift from the prince?"

According to his opinion, he should be polite when speaking and try to embrace the big tree of the County Prince's Mansion.

Cheng Xiaosi was helpless, "Second uncle, didn't you see? He came here today just to break our thoughts."

"I don't want us to get involved with the county prince's palace in the future, so I will naturally send you a generous gift to settle this matter."

From the time when Mr. Zhuang's bones were discovered to now, the Zhuang family has not sent any gifts of thanks. Now it seems that they are waiting for the decision of Prince Renkang. Now that they have made this trip in person, the meaning is obvious.

Mr. Cheng sighed, feeling like he had lost millions of taels of silver today.
