Qiao Erlang signaled to the person beside him to take the silver note from the steward of Runan Palace, then he took out a brocade box from his sleeve and placed it in the other's hand, tapping it with his fingers.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I will keep my word! We are even now!"
King Runan snorted, clenched the box in his hand, flicked his sleeves, and turned his back.
He was afraid that if he looked at Qiao Erlang's smug face for a moment longer, he would not be able to resist drawing his knife and chopping him!
As Qiao Erlang stepped out of the threshold of Runan Palace, the door behind him slammed shut and was tightly closed, so that not even a fly could fly in!
When the steward of the princess's mansion saw this, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.
He is your Majesty's uncle. Even though he is old and separated by several families, he is still a royal relative and should not be offended easily!
Most people would stay away from him, but his master actually came to him on his own initiative!
Is this really fearless?
No matter what, he is now his master, and his life is closely related to his!
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. We should do our best to remind people who need to be reminded!
"My Lord, I'm afraid the King of Runan will not let this go. He represents the attitude of the royal family. We must be careful in the future!"
Qiao Erlang didn't care at all: "It's okay, he is just a knife, the handle is still in my hand, which direction to hit, can it be determined by the blade?
I will prepare some valuable gifts and ask Princess to accompany me to the clan leader's house!"
Who doesn’t have power behind them?
The King of Runan lived too recklessly in the first half of his life, offending many of his clansmen and having a lot of evidence against him. He often disgusted Your Majesty.
Your Majesty has actually always been very lenient towards his own people. He may turn a blind eye to some of their minor faults, but that does not mean they can touch your bottom line at will.
For example, he secretly participated in mining in Yizhou, colluded with the new emperor of Southern Liang, and resold grain and weapons...
Prince Runan may not have participated in these matters personally, but the Xia family, to which his good sister, Princess Anhua, belonged, was the direct mastermind behind the scenes.
He himself is the biggest beneficiary!
The crime of burning grain in the Shanzhou Taiyuan transfer warehouse was only the lightest one among them.
The grains were not really burned in the fire. Who could know where they ended up better than Qiao Xin, the biggest grain trader in Dajing?
What's more, it was this old man who first proposed that the princess marry a foreign prince.
The daughter of the Minister of Revenue is now the daughter-in-law of the Prince of Runan.
If someone said that he had no involvement in the matter of raising grain and grass, Qiao Erlang would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"Because of him, your princess almost married into Xiling. Do you still think we shouldn't mess with him?"
The steward was stunned at first, but then he realized that the prince consort was avenging his wife.
He slapped his forehead and immediately regained his health, trotting after Qiao Erlang.
When word got out, and his son-in-law also acted like a protective person, I wonder how many unmarried women were envious of him!
Oh my god, now it’s settled.
The master is not afraid, so why should he, a servant, be afraid of being timid?
Even if His Majesty blames us, the Queen is still there to protect us!
The Prince Consort is right, who doesn’t have power behind them?
Even now, he didn't think there was anything wrong with following his master to the Dingbian Marquis Mansion to collect debts!
.......
If you want to talk about the best gossip restaurant in Kyoto, Qiao’s Teahouse is the best choice!
Because the major events in Kyoto in recent years are more or less related to the masters of the Qiao family.
The teahouse's owner, Yu, is close to the water and can naturally get the news first.
As a messenger, Song Da can always guide everyone to dig deeper into gossip in a certain direction within a limited and controllable range.
Just then, early in the morning, the teahouse had just taken down the boards and the stools had not been wiped clean yet, and a group of people rushed in from outside the door.
He found a good seat and put down his stool, not caring whether the waiter was busy or not. He skillfully picked up the order board on the table and checked the food he wanted to eat today!
For those who haven’t had time to eat the staple food, you can even make a note and ask the waiter to go to Yumancang not far away to help pack a portion of food!
Once the shopkeeper and the waiters are ready to open the store, they will naturally collect everyone's order sheets along the table one by one.
In a short while, tea, snacks and hot food will be served to the table, no need to say anything!
Since when, the diners and waiters in the teahouse have become accustomed to this way of getting along! No one dares to easily make things difficult for a waiter here, and the Qiao family does not allow the waiters to look askance at others or look down on others!
This morning, the familiar scene appeared again. The guys were all used to it and had no concerns at all!
A closer look revealed that more than half of the people were dressed as students.
Ever since a certain student who had been taking the imperial examinations a few years ago had been arrogant but repeatedly failed, he urgently needed an outlet to vent his dissatisfaction.
When the idea came to his mind, he adapted the gossip about the split of the Qiao family that he heard in the Qiao family teahouse into an interesting storybook.
Something like "Two or Three Things About So-and-So's Family That Must Be Said" or "I Became a Boss by Raising Cubs"... "
It was originally a work I wrote in my spare time, but I didn't expect that it would be favored by a nobleman, who specially took it to Qiao's Bookstore to print hundreds of copies for everyone to read.
The nobleman's original intention was to mock and ridicule Qiao Xin for trying to curry favor with others and being strong in everything, but in the end, even her son is not her own, so isn't she just making wedding dresses for others?
