Murong Lin didn't leave, naturally he had his own reasons, he didn't meet Shi Pengpeng much, but it was very strange, he just knew what kind of person she was, and he didn't leave just to confirm the conjecture in his heart.

Sure enough, he heard Shi Pengpeng say to the queen again, Niangniang, in fact, there is a musical instrument to play in the West, and it doesn't take much effort, it's called the stepping qin, it's so big, she gestured with her hands, like a small table, there is a pedal at the bottom, a row of keys on the top, the foot is stepped on below, and the fingers are pressed lightly, it can make a sound, very good, but this kind of musical instrument is very difficult to make, I heard that a stepping piano takes several years to make, in their own country, only the nobles of the king and grandson are qualified to have.

The prince sneered in his heart, look, the mercenary face of the businessman is revealed, it is not enough to buy one, and I will recommend the second one, listening to her say this, presumably what kind of piano is much more expensive than playing the piano, the queen likes new things the most, Shi Pengpeng probably figured out the queen's character, before he dared to hit her idea, at a young age, he has already made a good calculation. No wonder it is always profiteers and profiteers, and it is businessmen who are divided into three traitors.

The emperor immediately said, "Isn't my dignified empress of the Dongyue Kingdom qualified to have it?" Go back and tell Boss Shi that Niangniang wants to order one.

Shi Pengpeng lowered his head slightly, looking very respectful, but his expression was neither arrogant nor humble, so he asked the emperor to pay the deposit first, after all, it was a long way to go to the west, and it took a long time to go and return, so as not to delay.

As soon as she said this, everyone present was startled and looked at the emperor with anxiety.

Everyone in the world votes for the emperor's favor, what he wants, he has to get it in every possible way, how did he get Shi Pengpeng here, and he still has to pay a deposit, can the emperor of Chrysostom still pit her silver?

The queen was also a little surprised, in this case, Shi Yingying didn't dare to say it in front of the emperor, but she didn't expect Shi Pengpeng to be bold and dare to ask the emperor for money.

Emperor Sheng glanced at the emperor uneasily, if his father blamed Shi Pengpeng, he must intercede. He felt that Shi Pengpeng was a little stupid, even if he really wanted a deposit, he just told his mother behind his father's back, why did he have to say it in front of his father?

The room was silent, so quiet that it made people panic, although the emperor's temper was much better now than before, after all, this was a degrading thing, would he be angry?

The prince was naturally gloating, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the emperor did not say anything, so he said, Shi Pengpeng, I know the rules of your Shi family's firm, and you must place a deposit first for the goods of the West, but my father is the king of the world, and he is naturally different from ordinary people, don't you even give the emperor the gold face of the emperor?

Shi Pengpeng heard his accusation, he was not panicked, and looked at him calmly, His Royal Highness also said just now, it is the rule of the Shi family to pay the deposit first, and the emperor is a benevolent monarch, shouldn't he set an example for the people of the world?

The prince's heart burst up and shouted: Bold! You this

Enough, the emperor's voice was not loud, but it was majestic enough, and he asked the prince to swallow back the words that followed.

The emperor's appearance was very calm, not like he was angry, and even smiled, Peng Peng was right, I am the emperor, and I can't break the rules, come here, take two gold ingots and hand them to the small proprietor of the Shi family, and ask Shi Pengpeng: Are two gold ingots enough?

Shi Pengpeng replied, back to the emperor, if it is a deposit for the piano, two gold ingots are naturally enough, but the mother's piano still has the balance unsettled, in addition, His Royal Highness Fang Caisheng said that he also wants a piano, and the deposit will naturally be added.

Everyone was taken aback again, thinking that Shi Pengpeng was really a girl who didn't know what to do, the emperor took a step back, she had to go further, is it really the emperor who has no temper?

Bai Qianfan asked, how much does this piano cost?

Although the object is small, it is rare, and the price is 1,000 taels of silver.

Bai Qianfan was taken aback, my good man, it's so expensive.

Although she has been the queen for many years, the emperor feels sorry for her and does not let her director, the food and clothing in the palace are all taken care of by Hao Pingguan, her cognition of silver and wealth is still a long time ago, and a thousand taels of silver is already a sky-high price in her opinion.

Shi Peng Peng smiled slightly, the piano itself is not expensive, but Peng Peng just said, because the road is far away, it takes a long time, the hard work of the caravan is unknown, the wind and rain, the sun is scorching, they are all walking on the official road, sometimes there is no road, but also over the mountains and mountains, fighting with poisonous insects and beasts, it is simply taking their lives in business, and besides, they are on the road all year round, and they can't see their families a few times, the most painful thing in the world is life and death, although they are not dead, it is also considered life and death, the pain of missing relatives, How much does the mother think it's worth?

Bai Qianfan was originally kind-hearted, but when she heard these words, she couldn't refute it, thinking that although she was trapped in the Forbidden Palace, at least her family was neat, her husband was loving, and her children were around her knees, and she was indeed much happier than those who were tired from running around outside all year round.

The prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, sneering disdainfully, what a businessman's daughter, she is simply a lotus, but it is a bunch of nonsense, he is the prince, he followed his master Jia Tong outside the palace when he was young, he naturally understands the sufferings of the people, but there is no good thing in the world that is not earned for nothing, wealth and danger are sought, and if you want to make a lot of money, you naturally have to work harder than ordinary people, Shi Pengpeng said that those who took the caravan were extremely miserable, but he knew that the wages of those people were extremely high, and the silver earned by a caravan could be worth two years for ordinary people, despite the hard work, But I don't know how many people want to go in after squeezing their heads, running for a few years, earning enough, and then going home to reunite with their relatives, the money is earned, and a good life is coming, why bother?

Bai Qianfan still felt sorry for the silver, and discussed with Mo Rongsheng, Sheng'er don't buy it, let her mother make this harmonica first, and I'll give it to you after a while, a thousand taels of silver.

Murong Sheng was not very happy, he grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and he had no concept of silver, but the queen mother opened her mouth, and he was not easy to object, so he bowed down, what the queen mother said was that Sheng'er listened to the queen mother.

After spending a thousand taels less, Bai Qianfan felt more comfortable, and asked Shi Pengpeng: Then the piano is more expensive than playing the piano, right?

Yes, mother, it's much more expensive.

Then or Bai Qianfan looked at the emperor, let's not

The emperor waved his hand and said firmly, don't worry, I still have this money, I am the king of a country, if I can't even afford a piano, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it?

The emperor made the final decision, no matter how expensive it was, it was not wrong to buy it, so Shi Pengpeng, the small proprietor of the Shiji firm, received two gold ingots and a large silver ticket, carefully put them in the small baggage, thanked the emperor, and left in the earnest eyes of Prince Sheng.
