Chapter 31: Trade-offs

Proud Building, is the largest Qinglou on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Qinglou industry, although the name is not very good, but it is one of the best profiteering industry, there is no oil and the like in this era, the whole capital, in addition to the money village, I am afraid that this Qinglou is the most profitable.

The Seventh Prince, Ji Wen, is the body of the prince, how precious, even he secretly opened such a green building by the Qinhuai River, which shows the huge profits of this industry.

In fact, a large part of the "activity funds" of the Seventh Prince in recent years was provided to him by this proud building that is making money every day.

Now, he can take out a proud building and hand it over to Li Xin, which shows that he has invested in Li Xin.

Li Xin blinked and glanced at Cui Jiuniang.

"Sister Cui, there is nothing in this world that does not have to pay a price, although the younger brother is a little younger, but this truth is still understood."

Although Cui Jiuniang is running the Qinglou for the Seventh Prince, this woman does not have any smell of wind and dust, but at a glance, she looks as graceful and luxurious as a wealthy lady, she sat on the chair in Li Xin's room and glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"Xiao Langjun, you are a top smart person, you should be able to understand that you don't have much room to refuse at this time, otherwise even if Gongzi doesn't mind, the people of Pingnanhou Mansion can't let you go."

Li Xin got up and personally poured a cup of tea for Cui Jiuniang.

When he first came to this world and was poorly clothed and hungry, it was the woman in front of him who gave him a way to live, which was a great kindness, so Li Xin was still very polite to Cui Jiuniang.

"Sister Cui is here to be a lobbyist?"

Cui Jiuniang had a faint smile on her face.

"Xiao Langjun said yes, but from the perspective of the slave family, Xiao Langjun is now in the capital, and there is only one way for my son-in-law to go, otherwise you will not enter the ladder, and sooner or later you will die in the hands of the Pingnan Hou Mansion."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Sister Cui, don't hide it, the lady Yu from the Pingnan Hou Mansion once came to see the little brother, and she also asked the little brother to move back to the Pingnan Hou Mansion to live, saying that she wanted me to be the second son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion."

"You're not going."

Cui Jiuniang's face was calm: "You know very well in your heart that if you really live in the Pingnanhou Mansion, you will no longer have the ability to resist, even if you die in the Pingnanhou Mansion one day, no one in the entire capital will know the slightest news." ”

Cui Jiuniang said very well, the reason why Mrs. Yu invited Li Xin to live in the Pingnanhou Mansion would definitely not be a sudden kindness, once Li Xin really lived in the Pingnanhou Mansion, it would really be a life-and-death man, if someone stabbed him to death in the mansion, he would not even be able to call for help.

Li Xin fell silent.

Now, in front of him, it seems that there is really only one way like the Seventh Prince.

After a while, he gently pushed back the deed in front of him, and said softly: "Sister Cui, the seventh prince treats me kindly, if there is anything to help, the younger brother is naturally obliged, this proud building is a big business, the younger brother is useless, please take it back." ”

What Li Xin means by this sentence is that he can temporarily stand on the same front with the Seventh Prince, but he can't fall too deep into it, if he signs this deed, under the entanglement of human feelings, Li Xin and the Seventh Prince, who don't know each other well, will never be able to get rid of the relationship in the future.

Cui Jiuniang glanced at Li Xin, then put the deed into her sleeve, and said with a smile: "What is Xiao Langjun worried about?" ”

Li Xin's face became serious.

"Sister Cui is kind to the younger brother, and the younger brother will say a word to his sister, the younger brother has just come to the capital, and it will only take four or five days to really live in the city, and he can be said to know nothing about all aspects of the capital, and the little brother never dares to set foot rashly about unknown things."

Cui Jiuniang picked up the tea that Li Xin poured for her, and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun is afraid of death? ”

"Naturally, you are afraid, no one in this world is not afraid of death."

Li Xin laughed softly: "Actually, it's not so serious as not dying, it's just that this matter is related to the second half of the younger brother's life, so I have to be cautious, as my sister said, the younger brother has no choice in the capital, and the seventh prince doesn't need to be anxious, please ask my sister to go back and tell the seventh prince that the younger brother needs some time." ”

Jiuniang slowly stood up from the chair and saluted Li Xin: "Xiao Langjun has just been injured, it is true that he should not tell Xiao Langjun these things at this time, and when Xiao Langjun is injured, it is not too late for us to talk about it in detail." ”

Speaking of this, Jiuniang paused and continued to smile: "As for this deed, it is the same whether Xiao Langjun signs it or not, and at the end of each month in the future, the income of the proud building will be sent to Xiao Langjun for 10%. ”

She walked slowly to the door of Li Xin's room, suddenly remembered something, and then returned to Li Xin's bedside, and said softly: "As for what Xiao Langjun is worried about, the slave family can reveal something to Xiao Langjun here, and my son-in-law's power above the court can be ranked in the top three among the princes." ”

Li Xin let out a breath slowly.

His body is just a fifteen-year-old young man, with neither merit nor capital, how can this Seventh Prince actually take out the posture of looking at the thatched house......

However, for what Jiuniang said, Li Xinli was somewhat disdainful, unless the prince really made trouble to the level of mutiny, it has nothing to do with how much power he has, the most important thing is how the sacred heart is, the sacred heart is not in you, no matter how big the power in your hands is, in the end it can only reach the level of mutiny.

And the success rate of the mutiny was very low.

Li Er and Zhu Si are the kind because they themselves are generals who lead troops, and they all have military power in their hands, but looking at the appearance of the Seventh Prince, they don't look like a general at all.

Li Xin nodded at Jiu Niang, and said softly: "What my sister said, my younger brother has taken it to heart, no matter what, I must give Seventh Prince an answer as soon as possible." ”

Cui Jiuniang smiled and nodded, and turned to leave.

Li Xin got up and sent her to the door.

After leaving the courtyard where Li Xin lived, Jiu Niang got into a carriage and returned to the Deyi Building from a remote alley, in the private room on the top floor of the Deyi Building, Jiu Niang knelt down lightly, bowed her head to the young man on the main seat and said, "Childe, the slave family is back." ”

The seventh prince put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "What did he say?" ”

Jiuniang shook her head slowly: "This young man, although he is quite grateful to his son, he is unwilling to completely fall to his son, and he is not even willing to sign the deed of the proud building." ”

The seventh prince of the Great Jin Dynasty nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "This illegitimate son of Pingnanhou is thoughtful and methodical, it is rare that he is still so calm at this time, and he will definitely be a character in the future." ”

Cui Jiuniang gave the seventh son a new glass of wine, and said, "Childe, the slave family has something to understand. ”

The Seventh Prince Ji Wen lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "You want to ask, why does Lone value this Li Xin so much?" ”

Cui Jiuniang nodded lightly.

"This young man, although he has some skills and is quite smart, doesn't seem to be worthy of being a son......"

The seventh prince shook his head slowly and narrowed his eyes.

"A woman's opinion, short-sighted, although Li Xin is not particularly critical, but his identity is promising, he is the illegitimate son of Pingnanhou, in the future, we will have a lot of room to do something."

Speaking of this, the Seven Princes raised their heads and drank all the wine in the cup, reached out and took the incomparably beautiful Cui Jiuniang in his arms, and smiled.

"This Pingnanhou Mansion is a ...... with military power"
