To Cui Geng's surprise, this time Li Xian did not greet Corporal Lixian in person, but ordered someone to pick him up from the side door until a side hall stood still.
The little eunuch who led the way said, "Cui Xiang, please come in." โ
"This is ......" Cui Geng always felt that something was wrong, and said: "Are you sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to bring this official here?" โ
"Haha, Cui Xiang is really smart. My husband and wife want to see Cui Xiang but can't get it, so they can only make this decision. โ
With a burst of hearty laughter, a man and a woman came out of the side hall.
The man is not ordinarily handsome, graceful, and the jade tree is in the wind; The woman is not ordinarily beautiful, with a graceful figure and a face like a peach blossom. These two go to that station, and whoever sees them has to praise a good pair of beautiful people, which is really a match made in heaven.
Cui Geng was puzzled: "Dare to ask who the two are?"
The man clenched his fists slightly, and said, "I am Yang Shenjiao, the Duke of Guanguo, this is Li Xin'er, the county lord of Changning, Jing." โ
"It turned out to be the Duke of Guanguo and the Lord of Changning, and I am fortunate to be happy."
Although Cui Geng hadn't seen them before, he still knew about it.
Yang Shenjiao has nothing worth saying, his ancestor is Yang Xiong, the king of the Sui Dynasty, and his grandfather Yang Gongren returned to the Tang Dynasty and was named the Duke of Guanguo. Yang Shenjiao, the Duke of Guanguo, is purely a lord and has no specific duties.
But the county lord of Changning is not simple, she is Li Bao'er's own sister, and in front of Li Xian and Empress Wei, she is only slightly inferior to Li Bao'er.
Cui Geng even knew through the records of later generations that the lord of Changning would open the princess's mansion after Li Xian ascended the throne and give 2,500 households of food, second only to Li Xin'er.
Thinking of this woman's power in the future, Cui Geng really didn't want to offend her. At the moment, he didn't care about pursuing the couple's fraudulent use of Li Xian's name, and said, "I don't know what the two of you are looking for this official to do?" โ
"This is not a place to speak, Cui Xiang, please."
"It's fine."
Entered the side hall and sat down.
After a few words of greeting, Yang Shenjiao coughed lightly and started the topic, saying, "I heard that Cui Xiang and his mother are not on good terms, I don't know if there is such a thing?" โ
Cui Gengdao: "At the beginning, the official mistakenly killed Wei Zhao, the princess's clansman, so that he was hated by the princess. However, fortunately, the crown princess is magnanimous and has not been pursued. โ
"Oh? Is it? Yang Shenjiao took a sip of tea soup and said, "But how did I hear that the concubine's opinion of Cui Xiang is still not very good." โ
Cui Geng didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Shenjiao's gourd, so he said noncommittally: "So what? What does Guan Guogong mean when he says this? โ
"That's the case, Cui Xiang is a pillar of the country, and the father of the country doesn't want you to have a bad relationship with your mother because of this little thing. Therefore, I would like to say a few kind words for you with the county lord in front of the concubine. โ
"Thank you both."
"Cui Xiang is not in a hurry. This one...... This ......" Yang Shenjiao and Li Xin'er glanced at each other and said bluntly: "The two of us have helped Cui Xiang so much, shouldn't you say something?" โ
"That's it, that's it." Li Xin'er echoed: "I heard that you gave Zhang Chang two million yuan casually." It's not good for us two to be too stingy, right? โ
I rub!
Dare to wait for me here!
When Cui Geng heard this, he was so angry that he didn't scold out loud.
He thought to himself, Nima Laozi and Empress Wei ease their relationship, can they use you? Isn't it okay for me to find Li Bao'er, Li Xian is also successful, aren't these two more important than the two of you?
Besides, please wake up, now the prince's family can't do without the support of the official, not the official who sharpened his head and drilled into your prince's family.
Look at how smart Li Xian is, in order to win me over, he has to marry his favorite daughter Li Bao'er to me.
It's good for you, this is a bamboo pole that is in a hurry to knock me! Why do you have such a big dog face? I see that the two of you have a good skin for nothing, and it is Li Lingzhi who is faint!
Cui Geng sneered: "Could it be that the two of you also want the official to give you two million yuan?" โ
Yang Shenjiao didn't seem to notice Cui Geng's dissatisfaction, and said, "Two million guan is fine, it's better to have more money." Cui Xiang, what you have is money, why spend more money to make a good fate? โ
"Then can you ask, what do you two want to do with so much money?"
"We want to build a house. Yang Wulian, you know, right? โ
Cui Geng said: "Of course I know, didn't he die in the Second Holy Palace?" โ
Although Yang Wulian has lived abroad for a long time, he has always left a house in Chang'an. The house covers a large area and has a good view, and after he died, my husband and I bought it. However, the house is in disrepair and cannot be inhabited. โ
Hearing this, Cui Geng's mood was a little calm. He secretly pondered that the matter between himself and Li Bao'er was done, and these two had to call themselves brothers-in-law. Obviously, Princess Changning and Yang Shenjiao are asking for money to repair the house, and if they pay for it themselves, it is not completely unreasonable.
Cui Geng nodded and said, "So, do you want to renovate this house?" It won't take two million, right? My Jingzhao Yin Mansion only used 20,000 yuan from the local officials (household departments). โ
Yang Shen said: "The problem is that we want to build more than just Yang Wulian's house. Next to Yang Wulian's house, is the house of Gao Qiao in Simen Lang. We want to buy them all and start all over again. โ
"Then it won't cost two million yuan, right?"
"Absolutely. Do you know who this Gao Qiao is? โ
"I don't know."
"Gao Qiao's ancestor is Xu Guogong Gao Shilian. Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun, and the house was given by Emperor Taizong at the beginning, and it was too big. Buy it, and then re-flip it, it definitely costs two million yuan. โ
"That's ......" Cui Geng said suspiciously: "No matter how bad Gao Qiao is, he is also a Simenlangzhong, right?" Are people really willing to sell their ancestral homes? โ
Yang Shenjiao smiled slightly and said, "Of course not." Isn't that still you, though? โ
"What do you mean?"
"You are Jing Zhaoyin, as long as you use a little means, are you still worried that Gao Qiao will not comply?"
Wipe!
Cui Genghao didn't scold out loud, he was not very happy, and the entire Chang'an City was not worth two million yuan now. Princess Changning is so extravagant, even if she pays money in front of Li Bao'er, it is enough to be wronged.
Okay, it's not the hardest thing to dare to love, people still expect to help them take it by force!
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Ran got up, and said categorically: "You want to be beautiful!" Tell you, let this official help you take away someone's mansion, you can't do it! Even those two million yuan, you don't have to think about it! What the crown princess understands, I, Cui Erlang, am not rare! โ
"Oh? Is it? โ
While speaking, two people flashed out from behind the screen, one was Liang Wang Wu Sansi, and the other was Wei Xiang'er, the other was Wei Hou.
Wei Xiang'er snorted coldly, and said in a weird manner: "If you want to know your confidants, just listen to what you say." It seems that in Cui Xiang's eyes, I, the crown princess, am really nothing. โ
