Chapter 51 Bribery
Cang Jingkong looked at the Nanzhu in Yun Xiao's hand, and his eyes were about to pop out, and he put it on the desk and spun around. Illuminated by the candles, the walls of the room were lit with pink light.
"This is a walking bead, it is the best among the southern pearls, very rare. It's just that this one is hard to find in Chang'an, where did Yunhou get two at once? ”
Yun Xiao smiled embarrassedly, does Lao Tzu want to sue you Lao Tzu for robbing?
"When are we going to visit Princess Tao of the Guild Hall?"
Cang Jingkong looked at the sky outside and said, "It's better to be sooner rather than later, let's go immediately." However, Yunhou can't let it go. If you want to go secretly, if Li Niangniang knows, maybe she will do it in advance. ”
Yun Xiao was taken aback, it seemed that he was still a little tender. People who have never been engaged in politics do not know how terrible politics is. If Concubine Li made it in advance, Chang'an would be her land. As soon as the city gate is closed, there is nowhere to run if you want to.
Yun Xiao only took the bear and the goshawk and found a brocade box to put away the beads. got into Cang Jingkong's carriage and went all the way to Princess Guantao's mansion. Along the way, I met many night guards, and when I saw that it was the carriage in the palace, they were allowed to go.
Princess Guantao's mansion is just like her location, between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace. Seven rows of yellow, orange, and orange bronze nails were stared at the vermilion wooden door, and two rows of samurai in armor and spears lined each other. On both sides of the lintel hang the palace lamp that symbolizes the royal family, and the plaque with gold paint on a black background is written with several big characters of Princess Guantao's mansion.
Cang Jingkong seemed to be very familiar with the steward here, and a large ingot of copper cake was handed over. The carriage drove directly into the corner gate next to it.
The two black-shirted slaves led Yun Xiao and his party to the inside, and the pavilions and pavilions were scattered along the way, and the small bridges, flowing water, strange stones and strange trees were scattered among them, which secretly fit the feng shui pattern of hidden wind and qi.
On a rockery on the left side of the courtyard, there is a pavilion. There are four stone benches on one side of the stone table, and when you raise your eyes, you can see a flower, a leaf, a grass and a tree in the garden. In the middle of the breeze, the heart is empty, looking up at the plaque and saying "Tao Ran".
Several women in palace costumes stood around the pavilion, and by the light of the lights, Princess Tao seemed to be drinking with someone. The man had his back to him, and from a distance he looked vaguely familiar. But it's too far away to see clearly.
"Yunhou wait a minute, I'll report to my parent princess."
It is estimated that it is because of Cang Jingkong and copper ingots, and this steward is very polite to Yun Xiao.
"There is labor."
"It's okay, it's just that when I go to Yunjia Zhuangzi another day to enter the steamed wine, I can give two more jars to the small batch."
The Yun family's production of steamed wine has not been high, and it is difficult for idle rich and noble families to find a jar even if they are rich. In addition to supplying all the needs of the palace, the princes and nobles could only receive so many altars per month by virtue of their shares.
The steward of Princess Guantao's Mansion didn't completely look at Cang Jingkong's face, let alone look at the ingot copper cake. Can the steward of Princess Guantao be missing this little bit of income? What he fancied was the Yun family's agents' tofu, steamed wine, and rare things like rock sugar. If you can get a little bit out of the Yun family, you can walk sideways in the circle of stewards in the future.
"Well, when Yun went back, he asked Lao Yu to send ten jars of Yun family's steamed wine to thank the steward."
"Then thank you Yunhou for the reward, Yunhou wait. The little ones go and go back. ”
The steward carried his clothes and meandered all the way up the bluestone path, and walked to Princess Guantao and said respectfully: "Princess, the general Yunhou of the chariot and cavalry has come to pay a visit." ”
"It's the one who can make food! I didn't see me talking to Master Wei very happily, so he asked him to go back and say that I didn't see me. Princess Guantao glanced at the clouds under the rockery in the distance, and commanded the steward.
The steward was embarrassed for a while, offending Yun Hou, and I was afraid that I would have trouble getting things from the Yun family in the future. The princess often treats guests, and this steamed wine and tofu, as well as the dried tofu with bean skin that is expensive to death, dare not be missing. If there is no tofu for banquet guests in Chang'an City, it is a small family and will be laughed to death by the guests.
"Princess, let's meet you. Wei Juan owes Yunhou a great favor, and even if the princess looks at Wei Juan's face today, she will see her. ”
"You!" Princess Guantao threw a big wink at Wei Juan, and then ordered: "Take him to Yixing Pavilion, I'll be there in a while." ”
"No"
The steward turned his worries into joy, and went down the mountain briskly.
"Yunhou, please move to Yixing Pavilion, and Princess Yixing Pavilion will come to see you in a moment if she has a guest."
"There is labor, there is labor."
Cang Jingkong's figure quickly disappeared in the darkness, he didn't want more people to see him and Yun Xiao together, after immersing himself in officialdom for many years, he understood the importance of leaving a way out.
Yun Xiao followed the steward all the way and found that the beauties he met along the way were all the best choices for his young man. That's to have a figure, a look, a look. Many beauties still scratched their heads when they saw Yun Xiao, and threw their eyes in a wholesale shape.
I finally remembered that the eldest princess's mansion of the Han Dynasty has always been the ** talent reserve center of His Majesty the Emperor. It seems that Wei Zifu was discovered by Liu Xiaozhu at his sister's house, and Yun Xiao suddenly remembered that the famous Huo Quzhi was the nephew of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu. Yun Xiao broke his head and couldn't understand that their mothers had been hanging for a long time, how could they get a sister again?
Yun Xiao pondered the question and followed the steward to Yixing Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, Yun Xiao was attracted by the treasures on the shelf. A jade lion, a bronze hand stove, and a bronze figurine holding a candlestick on the ground next to it. Take back the two things casually, and the problem of the house, car, and ticket will all be solved if the future generations are tired and half dead.
I shook my head, and the tons of gold at home have not yet been built in the treasury. Just keep these things in mind, and if you want to, you can pull a wagon back at any time.
"Yunhou will take a moment, serve tea."
The steward respectfully invited Yun Xiao to sit down, and then ordered someone to bring towels and tea.
The turquoise tea leaves rise and fall in the boiling water, giving off an intoxicating fragrance. Soon the boiling water became, a jasper. This tea is not ordinary at first glance, and this steward is indeed working hard. I have to tell Lao Yu when I go back, I have to give this buddy's family a share of the goods that are in demand, and I can't let the family work in vain.
There were some skinny melons and fruits on the table, which must have been sent by Tang Quan. This is already very rare, and the output of Tangquan Supervisor is so much. In addition to supplying the palace, other royal family shares are really limited. In winter, dried fruits are used to entertain guests.
It's just a greenhouse, and out-of-season melons and fruits are not a problem. Look at next year, Lao Tzu will get some for you, and Bao Zhun can see that the mouths of these turtles are like surging rivers. Living in this era of B.C., Yun Xiao felt that there were business opportunities everywhere. As a person living in the 21st century, it is simply intolerable if you want not to make money.
When she was crooked, Princess Guantao walked in with a hug. He was dressed in a shiny black brocade cloak and lined with a big red flower jacket. A pair of Qianqianyu hands held a gilt carved hand warmer in their hands, and the various jewels on their heads shone in the light, making Yun Xiao almost unable to see the face of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty clearly.
Yun Xiao hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Yun Xiao has seen the eldest princess."
"Excuse me, see me what's the matter."
The director of the pavilion Tao Gong took off the cloak from the maid, walked to the couch of the main seat, and lay lazily on the couch. I don't look at the clouds of Shi Li.
Damn, it was despised. People are under the low eaves, who makes the family the emperor's sister. God is so unfair, these guys born with golden keys are born with the capital to despise themselves.
Yun Xiao didn't speak, just waved his hand at the bear standing outside the door.
The bear carried a heavy box and walked in, placing it on the ground and pressing the soft woolen carpet down deeply.
The chest was opened by the bear, revealing the neatly numbered gold bars of thumb thickness, shining golden in the light of the lamp.
Princess Guantao's eyes narrowed, and although she was a little frightened, she still didn't get up. In his heart, he estimated the weight of the gold, and also estimated the size of the things that Yun Xiao begged himself to do. Generally speaking, the value of gift-giving is directly proportional to the difficulty of doing things, and Princess Tao, a bribe-taking expert, naturally understands this truth.
He just squinted his eyes and didn't say anything. The proof still hasn't impressed this old **, it seems that it has to be increased.
Yun Xiao took out a brocade box from his arms, the box was plain and just a lacquer box wrapped in silk. When Yun Xiao opened the box, everyone in the room gasped. The two pearls in the box shone brightly, and the flowing brilliance even covered the whole room with a layer of pink.
Princess Guantao who was lying on the couch no longer pretended to be X, in fact, as a jewelry controller, she had been very restrained from paying attention to her appearance, and it was very rare that she didn't run up all at once. Without bothering the maids around her, Princess Guantao walked over with her eyes fixed on the brocade box in Yun Xiao's hand, as if she was afraid that the pair of beads would fly.
"Yun Xiao, I got two Nanzhu by chance, I heard that the princess likes ......"
"I took it."
Before Yun Xiao could finish speaking, Princess Guantao snatched the brocade box in Yun Xiao's hand. His eyes were fixed on the two pearls, and his whole mind was in the brocade box without blinking.
It is best not to disturb when a woman appreciates jewelry, this is the lesson of Yun Xiao's blood in the last life. Waiting respectfully beside him, watching the nymphoac-like princess Guantao facing the two pearls**. After a long time, when Yun Xiao yawned helplessly, Princess Guantao's eyes finally returned to Qingming.
"Come to me, what's the matter? Say, as long as I can help you, I won't let you down. ”
As a bribe-taking veteran with advanced business philosophy, Princess Guantao naturally understands the truth that people must ask for something. Since he gave such a heavy gift, he naturally had to show himself. The line of bribery is about integrity, this time you hacked someone's money and ruined your reputation, who will give it to you next time? Princess Guantao is a time-honored brand, so it is natural to be honest, and the genuine price of the child is the way to operate for a long time.
