Kong Yingda's gray-haired head shook like a splashing drum.

"No, no!" He said firmly.

Li Chengqian rubbed his palms together and looked at Kong Yingda silently. That expression was vividly telling Kong Yingda, can't you think about it again?

"Your Highness, the old man knows that you got this money from Your Majesty, and knows that you are in great need of money now. But this printing dictionary also needs money behind it, and if the money is cut off, the printing will be interrupted! Besides, if this bet is not accurate, those who swing the pole will not be angry, and in the end the money will not be returned, won't our printing be completed? Kong Yingda explained, "I hope His Royal Highness can be considerate of the old man!" ”

What do you mean, although this money is used for gambling, you have a reason to say it, but why just say that you are afraid that this money will not come back? Isn't that a bad thing? If it wasn't for the old man's words, but something younger and younger, Li Chengqian would have slapped him in the face.

Kong Yingda knew that he had rejected Li Chengqian a little **, he suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Your Highness, isn't the printing money that you applied for at the beginning 5,000 yuan, so you took 500 yuan, and 4,500 yuan is placed with Your Majesty, and you can put it away, and the old man has always felt that the money is too much, even if you lose, it will not affect the printing, why doesn't Your Highness take that money?" ”

Old man, how can you put the idea of that money, don't you know that it is Lao Li's embezzlement of state funds, the money that went into his pocket, can it come out?

Li Chengqian glanced at the old man with contempt in his heart, and then asked: "Master doesn't know, the 4,500 yuan is a spare fund, which cannot be moved, and what you have in your hand is liquid funds, and it will not affect if you embezzle it!" So the four thousand five hundred can't move! ”

"Spare funds? Liquidity? Isn't it all money? Kong Yingda said strangely.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "This is a financial professional issue, it doesn't matter if Confucius doesn't know, don't talk about this topic." Master, can you squeeze out a little more money for me here, a hundred is too little! ”

Kong Yingda shook his head decisively.

"Two hundred and five?" Li Chengqian reported the number.

Kong Yingda paused, but still shook his head.

Look at him for a moment, it seems that this matter is negotiable!

"Two hundred and twenty-five!" Li Chengqian reported another number.

Kong Yingda hesitated: "Your Highness, this is a bit much!" ”

Li Chengqian said simply: "Then you report the number." ”

Kong Yingda stroked his beard before he said, "Your Highness, why don't you have one hundred and fifty runs?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at him with strange eyes, are you embarrassed to say?

Kong Yingda was a little embarrassed by him.

"Two hundred." Li Chengqian stretched out two fingers and said.

"......" Kong Yingda hesitated and was saying something.

Li Chengqian interrupted him first, and emphatically said: "I have already let it go and let it go, if you don't agree again, then I will shake my head and leave!" ”

"Uh, well, Your Highness!" Kong Yingda finally agreed.

The printed money was placed in a room in the Chongwen Hall by Confucius, and Li Chengqian called Lao Zeng and asked him to follow Confucius to get the money, and after taking the money, it was transported to Xichi Courtyard.

Li Chengqian went back to Xichi Courtyard first.

The money that this East Palace can take out is only more than 100 guan, and now it has picked Kong Yingda 200 guan, and it is only 300 guan, which is still far from 500 guan.

The hospital was cut off, and Li Chengqian began to think about how to make up enough money.

"Your Highness, why don't you look for my brother!" Xiao Chen reminded in a whisper.

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen said: "My brother is in business, he should save some money, and it should be no problem to use my brother's money for the time being!" ”

"This ...... No, I'm looking for your brother to do business for me, and I shouldn't have put money in it, how can I ask him for money first, if I use his money to gamble, isn't this business open without capital? No way! Li Chengqian thought for a moment, and then shook his head resolutely.

Although Li Chengqian didn't say it, Xiao Chen could feel that Li Chengqian didn't regard her family as a subordinate, and he wouldn't regard her family's money as Li Chengqian's own money, and he could spend it as he wanted. This made Xiao Chen very pleased.

"What then?" Xiao Chen asked.

Li Chengqian rubbed his forehead, this thing is difficult.

remembered a sentence: A penny is difficult for a hero, Li Chengqian feels that he is trapped by money now!

"Your Highness, Steward Zhu and Boss Chen are asking to see you outside the East Palace!" A eunuch ran in and said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't let Zhu Jie and Chen Qiuming enter the palace, why did they come?

After he was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xiao Chen, could it be that she first gave her eldest brother the news that Li Chengqian needed money, and now Chen Qiuming sent money into the palace.

Xiao Chen shook his head aggrievedly and said, "Your Highness, the concubine didn't tell my eldest brother without your consent!" ”

Seeing that she was serious, Li Chengqian believed her words.

"Then how did they get into the palace?" Li Chengqian touched his chin and shouted, "It's not for this, then they must have other things to see me, let them in quickly." ”

After the eunuch received the order, he hurriedly ran down.

After a while, Zhu Jie and Chen Qiuming came in, but they were holding ...... Dove?

"A housekeeper, a boss, what kind of happy thing did you meet when you walked in with such a smile?" Li Chengqian felt that when he was depressed, when he saw others happy, he was very unreasonable, and said in a weird manner.

Zhu Jie is a person who knows people, and when he saw Li Chengqian's face was a little dark, he knew that Li Chengqian was unhappy, so he quickly put away the smile on his face.

"Why did you get the pigeons?" Li Chengqian pointed to the pigeon cage in their hands and asked strangely.

As soon as he heard the pigeons, Zhu Jie hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is a happy event, hehe, doesn't Your Highness recognize these pigeons?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the white pigeons in their hands, aren't they also white pigeons, "Pigeons, aren't they all the same, they look like each other, they don't recognize them...... Uh......" When he said this, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the small bags on the feet of the white pigeons, which were too familiar, wasn't it just made by hemp palms?

"Bring it to me!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile and beckoned to Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie hurriedly gave it to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian grabbed a pigeon in the cage, took it out, took off the small bag on his feet, and opened the note inside: "This is the pigeon released by the prince, if it flies to your place by mistake, please send it to the Yongchun Gate of the Imperial Palace." ”

Damn, it was written by Li Chengqian that day!
