The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 129

[Chapter 129 How much money can it be sold for?]

Fang Xiu smiled and said nothing, as if he didn’t know whether it was okay or not.

Lin Wanqing was silent for a moment and said, “Today, Prince Ning invited a banquet.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu understood immediately.

It turned out that Lin Wanqing turned out to be from Prince Ning.

Fang Xiu asked: “This time you are here just to be King Ning’s envoy and invite me to attend his Dragon Boat Festival banquet?”

Lin Wanqing shook her head with a complicated expression and said, “I fell into the lake that day not to get close to you. , It’s just a coincidence.

The purpose of my coming here is to thank the young master for saving my life.”

As he said that, he took out a delicate sachet from somewhere and handed it to Fang Xiu.

“This sachet was sewn by my own hands. The herbs inside have the effect of calming the mind. I hope you don’t dislike it.”

Lin Wanqing’s voice was very soft and sweet, and extremely pleasant to the ear.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to take it and put it aside.

Sachets can neither be eaten nor used…

It is better to give her money directly.

The life of Yirenju’s top steward, no matter what, is worth eighty-eight thousand taels of silver. However

, Fang Xiu is an upright person, and a person with moral character who has escaped from vulgar taste.

This idea only existed in my mind for a moment, and of course I would not actually do it.

He looked at Lin Wanqing and asked, “How much money can this sachet be sold for?”

Lin Wanqing was slightly startled and did not react.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face and he said: “If you are a young master who often visits Yirenju, it should be worth a thousand taels of silver.”

After all, he is an oiran selected by the oiran conference. He sewed the sachet with his own hands, even if it was only the most expensive. Even low-grade fabrics will be snatched up by countless rich men.

One thousand taels of silver is no joke.

But

after all, it was a gift that someone had put a lot of thought into, and he couldn’t sell it in front of her.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “It’s just a joke. Since this sachet was sewn by Miss Wanqing herself, even if it is not worth a penny, it is worthy of my collection.”

“Young Master”

Xiu’er and several children The maid walked into the courtyard, placed the rice dumplings and porridge on the stone table, bowed slightly, saluted, and then turned and left.

The zongzi has been peeled, steaming and looks very sweet.

Lin Wanqing took a small bite, then stood up, made a womanly salute, and said: “Thank you so much for the rice dumplings today. I hope you can attend the Dragon Boat Festival invitation in the evening.

After all, His Highness Prince Ning is a person who holds grudges very much .”

“For the young master, one thing more is better than one thing less. Even if His Highness Prince Ning fails to do so in the future,”

she paused and continued, “There may not be any harm.”

This was beyond her duty.

Fang Xiu was a little surprised, but his expression did not change at all. He just nodded and said, “Thank you for reminding me. I will go to the banquet invited by Prince Ning.”

Lin Wanqing left, and Fang Xiu sat on the chair alone, eating. Eating rice dumplings and thinking a lot.

King Ning was severely beaten by Emperor Chu just two days ago.

The majesty accumulated in the court for more than ten years was wiped away.

Many people believe that after this incident, Prince Ning will have almost no possibility of competing for the position of crown prince.

Therefore, many ministers in the court turned to King Kang.

It is said that King Kang held a big banquet because of this incident, which can be said to be a triumph of spring breeze.

It happened that at this time, Prince Ning was not in a position to recuperate, so he took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to hold a banquet and invited almost all the civil and military officials and nobles in the capital.

Although, except for a group of die-hard loyalists who had been in Prince Ning’s camp for a long time, almost everyone did not think that he would have a chance to make a comeback.

But no matter what, Prince Ning is still Prince Ning.

As long as His Majesty does not die and King Kang does not ascend the throne, no one will dare to openly offend King Ning.

Therefore, today’s banquet will be attended by most civil and military officials and nobles, as long as they are not from King Kang’s lineage.

Although, I don’t have a good deal with Young Master Yang from the Ministry of Rites.

But on such occasions, it is still necessary to go, even if it is just a formality.

When Fang Xiu was thinking about what kind of gift to prepare, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting his thoughts: “Master”

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, and a middle-aged man stood in front of him with a respectful look on his face.

The shopkeeper of Zhuxuanzhai, Lu Si.

Fang Xiu glanced at him, then continued to eat his rice dumplings, and asked casually: “What’s the matter?”

Lu Si’s face was a little excited, and he said: “Master, someone from the Kyoto Prefecture came, saying that they were the ones who ordered the ban on books before. A member of the Ministry of

Etiquette in the imperial court made an unauthorized claim and then withdrew the announcement.

Fang Xiu, who had just come out of Yangxin Hall and had already heard the news, nodded without much change and said, “My lord.” Got it.”

When Lu Si saw this, the respect on his face became even stronger.

What does it mean to be calm when everything changes? What does it mean to remain calm when Mount Tai collapses in front of you?

As expected of the young master.

Hearing such a happy event, he still kept his face calm, which is admirable.

Fang Xiu stuffed the remaining rice dumplings into his mouth and suddenly thought of something.

Looking at Lu Si, he ordered: “By the way, don’t sell the three books of “The Romance of the West Chamber” these days.”

“Don’t sell it?”

Lu Si was a little surprised and said doubtfully: “But young master, the notice from Kyoto Prefecture has been withdrawn. Most of the people who made trouble in front of the study that day were let out. “

If I don’t sell the books, I’m afraid.”

The meaning behind this was already clear even if he didn’t say it out loud.

Those die-hard fans of “The Romance of the West Chamber” even dared to beat up the Kyoto Prefecture police officers in order to watch the latest issue of “The Romance of the West Chamber”.

If they were to find out about this, something might happen.

Maybe even the plaque of Zhuxuanzhai will be taken down and smashed.

Fang Xiu thought for a while.

Lu Si’s words are not unreasonable.

After all, he had seen the power of crazy fans on various social networks in his previous life.

Since it must be sold, it cannot just be sold by the Zhuxuanzhai family.

Only in this way can the influence of Zhuxuanzhai be reduced.

But

in this case, Zhuxuanzhai must give up some of its benefits.

There were originally some small bookshops hidden in the dark, making a living by pirating Zhuxuanzhai’s books.

If the rubbings of books such as “The Romance of the West Chamber” are handed over to other bookshops, Yirenju may lose most of its profits.

These are just money

. Fang Xiu always feels a little distressed.

Just when he was about to make up his mind and give up the money that originally belonged to him, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred.

He raised his eyes, looked at Lu Si, and said: “It’s better not to sell these books “The Romance of the West Chamber” for the time being. I have something new, and I want to teach you

something new? “

A look of confusion appeared on Lu Si’s face, and then he began to listen carefully.

As he listened, his expression gradually changed, which was a little strange.

The way he looked at Fang Xiu also became awkward, giving people the impression that he was looking at someone mentally retarded.
