Chapter 313: Distress Sees Loyalty

King Yu is really poor, very poor.

When he was young, he was not favored because he was neither the legitimate nor the eldest, and his mother concubine Du Kang had a low position and fell out of favor early. King Yu died of illness in the first year of leaving the palace, and his mother's family had little help.

This is different from King Jing. Although his mother, Concubine Lu Jing, is over thirty years old, she still serves with Emperor Jiajing and lives in Xiyuan.

Although Emperor Jiajing practiced Taoism, he was never clear about his mind and had few desires. There were no less than ten concubines in the Western Garden. Last year, he accepted a fifteen-year-old concubine. If he could practice Taoism and become an immortal... he would have seen a ghost!

Therefore, King Jing has money and there are people in the palace. Except for the advantage of being one month older, King Yu is all disadvantages.

If King Jing's son did not die prematurely, King Yu felt that... he really couldn't hold on, so he was inexplicably grateful to Qian Yuan.

Well, Qian Yuan really did nothing, but King Yu felt that Qian Yuan had made a precept for just one word.

He was speechless. Qian Yuan was stunned. He had all kinds of methods and had not used a thousand tricks, so he was very fond of them!

For this reason, King Yu wanted to hold a big banquet, but Chen Yiqin and Gao Gong were still trying to persuade him. Your nephew was dead, so he wanted to celebrate... Although it should be celebrated, it would be unreasonable to spread it.

But King Yu Zhenzhen said that loyalty is seen in danger of the country. At this time, Qian Yuan came to the country and naturally had to treat him well.

In the end, Qian Yuan came forward to thank King Yu for his kindness, "Your Highness, please let the guard bring the food box. It tastes good. Mr. Zhongxuan has tasted it..."

"It's your restaurant?" Chen Yiqin smiled and said, "I'll give you my best wishes today."

"That restaurant is really..." Gao Gong blew his beard and glared, "A plate of cabbage costs five cents of silver, it's really not a son!"

Qian Yuan spread his hands, "There are so many customers scolding him, but most of them they will come next time after the scolding."

"A plate of cabbage costs five cents of silver..." King Yu thought a lot, "Zhan Cai is really good at making money, Tao Zhu Gong of the world!"

Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin looked at each other, with no expression on their faces... It was Gao Gong who first introduced the name Qian Yuan in front of King Yu, and King Yu didn't care at that time.

But it soon fell out. King Yu would mention Qian Yuan in front of Gao Gong from time to time, hoping that Qian Yuan would come to earn money as soon as possible.

Chen Yiqin thought about it in his mind that the huge Prince Yu Mansion was not so poor that he couldn't make a fuss. But if he went to Qian's restaurant for a day today, Prince Yu himself would be fine, but the next month would be a bit difficult.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiqin changed the topic, "Zhan Cai, heard that he was accepted the day before yesterday?"

Although it was only two days later, the news had long been spread throughout the capital. Gao Gong glanced at King Yu and shook his head slightly to indicate.

"It's the granddaughter of Shaohu Gong." Qian Yuan smiled five points on his face, and the rest was full of bitterness. "It's really... it's true. I believe your highness knows me and the eldest son of the Xu Pavilion..."

"I know, I know." King Yu said with great interest: "I heard about it last year. Zhan Cai, you beat Xu Fan to his face full of blood."

"You are fellow townsmen, and they are said to have been classmates before?"

"Members and classmates must be friends?" Qian Yuan said helplessly: "Didn't Jun Quan, the Minister of Rites, resist the marriage between Donglou?"

Wu Shan and Yan Song, the Minister of Rites, were fellow villagers and were in charge of Hanlin affairs. It is very likely that they would join the cabinet within one or two years. Yan Shifan wanted to marry him, but Wu Shan refused firmly.

Gao Gong interrupted, "It is said that this is not the first time?"

"Well, I was in Suzhou four years ago. At that time, I was still young, lacking in body size and strength. I was knocked out by him and missed the provincial examination that year." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "That time last year was avenge."

"Make the future Taishan like that..." Chen Yiqin said, "It's really unheard of."

What's so strange about this? Later generations even broke the eyes of my father-in-law!

"So marriage is a forced marriage." Qian Yuan sighed: "As the saying goes, what is love in the world? It is to teach you life and death to agree with each other?"

Of course, King Yu could not say what was involved in Shuangjiang Gong, and Chen Yiqin was there. In this regard, Qian Yuan skillfully gave the excuse of the talented woman Yongxu.

Well, Xu Fan was instructed by his mother Zhang yesterday to visit Suiyuan, and the implication was to tell Qian Yuan not to be public, so as not to have a flawed reputation in Miss Xu Si.

But Qian Yuan was too lazy to care about it. Now he had already made a marriage appointment, so he was waiting for Najib to send a betrothal gift, and waited for his mother to come to Beijing to meet him immediately... Then the whole family went back to the southeast. To put it bluntly, after kidnapping Xiaoqi out, the whole family of your Xu family was completely dead, and Qian Yuan didn't move his brows.

After all, he was carefully cultivated by so many Hanlin people. King Yu himself had good literary literacy, but he was not well-informed in the world. He was soon attracted by the poems that were enough to pass on the world.

"Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers."

"The most important thing is that the world cannot be kept, the red face leaves the mirror and the flowers leaves the trees."

In addition, Qian Yuan used his storytelling skills, wandering around, from the first time being shocked by the broken sentences, to Tanzhe Temple to see each other... Even Emperor Jiajing was very excited at that time. Now, Gao Gong was eating the dishes slowly, while King Yu and Chen Yiqin couldn't move their chopsticks.

Of course, Qian Yuan could not say the songs of himself and Xiaoqi's secret communication, so an important figure made a brilliant appearance.

"It's simply "The West Chamber"!" King Yu blurted out, "Isn't that maid a matchmaker?

"Not bad." Chen Yiqin was ready to go, "Shen Cai, if you can write a zaju drama with this, it will definitely be passed down to future generations!"

Well, the matchmaker mentioned in later generations is an intermediary that matches both men and women, which is published in "The West Chamber".

Forget it, think about the word matchmaker becomes Xiren in the future... This picture is so beautiful.

After listening to the gossip with satisfaction, King Yu began to turn his attention to the dishes. Fortunately, each dish was kept warm with warm water and it would not be cold for a while.

"Your Highness, try this dish." Qian Yuan personally scooped a bowl for King Yu. "This is a new dish that has just been released. It has not been included in the restaurant menu. It is made with mutton, fish lips, pig's trotters, pigeon eggs, duck meat, shark fin, mushrooms, abalone, etc. for fifteen hours. The taste is very fresh. Because it uses a lot of ingredients, it is called 'Baiwei Soup'."

It’s better to forget the name of Buddha Jumping over the wall. Although Emperor Jiajing promoted the Tao and suppressed the Buddha, there were still a large number of Buddhist believers in the court and the people. Qian Yuan had carefully investigated it. "Journey to the West" has been passed down from generation to generation, but there are only handwritten copies and are widely circulated, but they are definitely not banned.

"Well, it's really very fresh." King Yu tasted a few times and his appetite was wide open.

"After the New Year, the Zhejiang Inspector Wu Weixi wrote a letter saying that the talented people in the military strategy was a talented person. Many people said that he should join the Fangsi. Now it seems that it is more appropriate to enter the Ministry of Revenue." Chen Yiqin was having a great time eating, "It is a good idea to make money."

King Yu looked up at Gao Gong after hearing this, "Zhancai won't enter the Hanlin Academy, why don't... go to the Ministry of Revenue to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue?"

King Yu had no real power, and most of his subordinates were Hanlin officials. Only Gao Gong was appointed as the Minister of Taichang Temple, a third-rank official. Although he was not very powerful, he could get involved in many things with the golden signboard of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Gao Gong had already discussed this matter carefully with Qian Zheng and Qian Yuan. He put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "Zhan Cai... He wants to go back to the southeast."

"Back to the southeast?"

"What should I do when I go back to the southeast?"

Qian Yuan said seriously: "From your highness, what is the most important thing now?"

In King Yu's heart, it is naturally the most important thing to wait for me to ascend to heaven, but this is impossible to say. He turned to look at the two masters.

Chen Yiqin thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, when His Highness inherits the great treasure, he can make things right."

"Your Highness will be the lord of the world in the future." Gao Gong said in a thick voice: "But there is something urgent."

"The Japanese turmoil in the southeast." Qian Yuan whispered: "The southeast has always been the most important source of wealth in the court. Now the Japanese turmoil is in chaos, and all the six provinces have provided the funds. The wealth in the court is useless. At the end of last year, the Qin and Jin dynasties turned over, refugees fleeing, and the Ministry of Revenue is almost powerless."

"If the Japanese turmoil can be quelled as soon as possible, and the court will not lack financial resources, we can calmly clean up."

"Even if I am in a slight state, I can still suppress the Japanese for the country. I would like to ask your highness to allow it."

"Don't be humble." Gao Gong smiled rarely: "Jiading, Chongde, Hangzhou, you must be successful in every battle and be good at governing the government. It is a rare talent for the younger generation."

King Yu was a little unbearable. Just now, Chen Yiqin muttered while eating, and guessed that Qian’s restaurant would earn at least two or three thousand taels of silver a month... and was thinking about what shop to ask Qian Yuan to help build.

But Qian Yuan was determined to go south, and Gao Gong helped fuel the fire. Chen Yiqin also agreed. The two of them knew it. Qian Yuan went south to participate in the war, which largely means that Prince Yu's mansion's hand reached to the southeast. Not to mention the rest, just accumulating connections is enough.
