Chapter 753 No, I don’t want to listen
Xiao Qing felt so sorry when he heard this. If he had known earlier, he should have driven Li Zhao away earlier. If he had known that more money had come in, he would definitely refuse to leave. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Yan, take Lord Li to get the money."
Qiu Yan felt so painful, he lost another 10,000 taels. He was panicked and said, "Yes."
Li Zhao didn't want to leave, but when he met Xiao Qing's threatening eyes, he weighed the pros and cons and decided not to offend Xiao Qing all at once, otherwise, Xiao Qing would really hold him back from spending money. He had offended Xiao Qing impulsively when he had just taken office as the Minister of War a few years ago, and he didn't want to recall the experience again.
Zhou Shuren waited for Lord Li to leave, then said, "Lord, I will go back first."
Xiao Qing said, "You stay. We don't have time to discuss this now. I believe in your ability. Remember to get more money."
Zhou Shuren understood that the Shangshu had left him here to assist. "Yes."
Several princes came in, and Zhou Shuren thought to himself that the people in the Ministry of Revenue were all talented. They were leading the way so slowly.
The second princes looked unhappy.
Xiao Qing stood up and said, "Several princes have come together. Why do you look a little unwell? You must be hot. Go and bring some cool tea to the princes to cool them down."
Zhang Jingyang almost laughed out of anger when he just sat down. Why did they look so unhappy? This old fox knew it best. The guide was dilly-dallying. Was he obviously stalling for time to plan a plot against them?
Zhang Jingshi glanced at Lord Xiao, then at Zhou Shuren. He felt a little scared when he saw the two of them together.
The fourth prince Zhang Jingxi had a fake smile on his face but wanted to curse in his heart. It was really a pity for his father that these two black-hearted people got together.
Zhang Jinghong came to see the excitement, and he replied to Lord Xiao, "Don't just serve cold tea. I heard that the Ministry of Revenue has been doing well. Bring some fruit and melon seeds. Yes, bring two more basins of ice. The weather is really hot, Lord Xiao, am I right?"
Xiao Qing, "......Yes."
The fifth prince does not seem to be here to fight, but more like to watch the show, even offering melon seeds. However, although the Ministry of Revenue has good funds, there is a certain amount every month, and it hurts!
Zhou Shuren hadn't seen the Fifth Prince for a long time. If he hadn't remembered what the Fifth Prince looked like before, he would have almost failed to recognize him today. The Fifth Prince now looks surprisingly pleasing to the eye!
Zhang Jingyang held up a fan and said, "Old Five, I'm good to you, right? You've taken advantage of me a lot."
Zhang Jinghong, "Ah, Second Brother is really good to me."
He's been eating and drinking for free for so long, but no one has said anything about throwing him out.
Zhang Jingyang opened his fan and fanned himself, "Brother, I have a clear idea of what you said."
Zhang Jinghong felt a chill on his back. "As long as you don't ask for money, you are my second brother."
Zhang Jingyang choked. This boy reacted really quickly.
Zhou Shuren thinks the current fifth prince is interesting!
In the painting building, Zhulan was ready to leave, and went downstairs to ask the servant to find Rongchuan.
Rongchuan was already waiting at the entrance of the building. Zhulan was slightly surprised when she saw the person next to Rongchuan. It was Shen Yang.
Rong Chuan was very annoyed. Shen Yang had been circling around him for a while. "Auntie, it's getting late. I asked the servant to book a restaurant. Let's go over there."
Zhulan was indeed a little hungry, "Okay."
Shen Yang guessed who it was. He was wondering why Zhang Rongchuan came to the painting building alone. It turned out that he was accompanying someone. He had seen this person before and knew who it was. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have met Shu Ren."
Zhulan wanted to pretend she didn't see it. She was also good at acting. "Ah, it's you. I didn't notice it just now."
Shen Yang smiled and said, "Shu Ren is here to look at paintings too. Do you have any favorites? If you do, pick one."
Zhulan was speechless looking at Shen Yang with an expression that said, "If you like something, I'll give it to you." Although she was a grandmother, this was a public occasion in the painting building, and if she wanted to give it to someone, she had to do it privately. It would be so embarrassing if she couldn't give it to someone in public.
Moreover, Shen Yang just pointed out that she was a lady of virtue, telling everyone that she was a third-rank official's wife. Did Shen Yang treat her as an ignorant woman? What was the difference between her taking her in and the Zhou family taking her in?
Zhulan stopped laughing and said, "The Zhou family can still afford the money for the painting. Bye."
If you want to plot against me, don't blame me for being rude.
Shen Yang's face changed. Lord Zhou's wife's words made it seem as if he looked down on the Zhou family. But she didn't give him a chance to say anything else. The group had already left the painting building.
Shen Yang stared blankly at the background of the group of people, heard the whispered discussions behind him, his face darkened, and he walked out quickly. When he reached the door, the Zhou Mansion's carriage had already left. The wind blew through the carriage, and Shen Yang was stunned.
The servant asked in confusion, "Sir, what are you looking at?"
Shen Yang came back to his senses, "No, I didn't see anything."
Inside the Zhou family's carriage, Xue Han looked at Yu Shuang who was sitting by the window, and pulled Yu Shuang over to sit over. The man who had just offended his mother was staring at Yu Shuang!
Xue Han looked at Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang had been well brought up since childhood and had not lacked nutrition. Yu Shuang also inherited her eldest brother's height. The little girl was not much shorter than her, and people would believe her if she said she was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Xue Han frowned, "Rongchuan, who was that just now?"
Rong Chuan said: "He is the Shen Yang I often mentioned to you."
Xue Han understood, "It turned out to be him!"
This person is really stupid.
Rong Chuan sat next to Xue Han, feeling happy. His hand was only a fist away from Xue Han's. He suppressed his joy and said, "Let's not talk about him."
Xue Han, "Well, which restaurant did you book?"
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "I have booked a restaurant."
After eating there last time, he wanted to take Xue Han there to eat there in the future, and today his wish came true.
Zhulan had just been looking away, not wanting to eat dog food, but when she heard the canteen turn around. She had never been willing to go there before, and wanted to say it was such a waste, but she swallowed the words back. Rongchuan was not giving her a gift, he was trying to please Xuehan, and Rongchuan had money, so no matter who had money in the future, he would never be short of money. Now thinking about the gold that was delivered to her door, she felt a little jealous.
Xue Han knew the restaurant, "What restaurant did you write in your mind?"
"Well, I couldn't order the fish feast, but the food in the restaurant is pretty good."
Xue Han didn't know the price, Rong Chuan had never told her. She just felt sweet that her lover cared about her and wanted to take her out to eat.
Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren shifted his gaze away from the boxes. They really had a lot of money. No wonder the Emperor openly cheated the princes.
Lord Xiao coughed and said, "This library has been handed over to Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou, do you have something to say?"
Zhou Shuren received the signal and said with a smile, "Then I will say a few words."
Several princes, "......."
No, they don't want to listen!
