Chapter Ninety-Nine: Four Happinesses Come to the Door
Duan Rujun took Chen Xiaomu back to the private room, asked him to sit down at the table, picked up the wine bowl on the table and said: "Mr. Chen, after you and I finish drinking this bowl of wine, I will be on my way, and Yu Shang will
I entrust you to impart knowledge carefully." As he said that, he took out a small rectangular dark green jadeite plate with a dragon head engraved on it and handed it to Chen Xiaomu, "Please accept this jadeite plate, Mr. Chen. If you go to Dali country, with this plate
You can travel unimpeded within the territory of Dali Kingdom and have control over all levels of government officials in Dali Kingdom at will."
Chen Xiaomu took the jade card and joked: "If I ask them for money with this card, will they give it to me?"
"Of course I have to give it. The county government will not exceed 10,000 taels, and the government government will not exceed 30,000 taels." Duan Rujun affirmed.
''Ouch!" Chen Xiaomu exclaimed, "Mr. Duan, are you too good at playing cards? You can get so much money just by showing it to any official office in your Dali country, but they have so much money.
Is there a warehouse?”
''Haha" Duan Rujun laughed and said: "Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about this. Our country in Dali owns silver. So far, silver mines have been discovered in eight places. Among them, the largest Zhenping silver mine is dug out every day.
More than 3,000 taels of bare silver can be extracted from the ores, and the eight silver mines can yield at least 15,000 taels of bare silver. In addition, an additional several hundred taels of gold can be extracted from these ores."
"No wonder Mr. Duan is so generous. It turns out that his family really has a mine!" Chen Xiaomu sighed.
"When I left Dali, my father and mother promised to give me five hundred thousand taels of silver every year. At the beginning of every year, they would send me five hundred thousand taels of silver notes from the Zhenping Silver Mine.
With all the money spent on entertainment, food, drinks and friends, there are still two to three hundred thousand taels left every year. If Mr. Chen is not well-off, how about I give you another tens of thousands taels?" Duan Rujun said and took out a wad of silver notes from his arms.
Pass it to Chen Xiaomu.
Chen Xiaomu wanted to do it in his heart, but he really couldn't do it. After all, the two of them had known each other for less than two hours, so don't want it! This guy is really too rich. He has eight silver mines in his family. These silver notes are worth a lot to others.
He said that it was not even a drop in the bucket, so he didn't want it for free. He pretended to decline, then pretended that he couldn't bear it, put away the banknote, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Duan, I am very shy in my pocket. When I say goodbye, I really don't have much."
I’m giving you something nice, why don’t you let me sing a song for you to say goodbye?”
Duan Rujun was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is not only a good poet, but he can also sing. I am all ears!"
When Chen Xiaomu was in college later in life, he served as the art committee member of his class during his last two years of college, during his junior and senior years. His main specialty was singing. Although his singing voice was a little green, it was enough to charm the little girls in the class who were not experienced in the world.
Fortunately, the body he traveled to had a clearer voice, even better than his voice in later generations.
Then he cleared his throat and sang the popular farewell song written by Li Shutong.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sun sets outside the mountain.
At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, only a few close friends are left. A pot of turbid wine is all that's left to enjoy, don't sleep in the cold tonight.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. I ask you when will you return here, and don't wander around when you come.
At the end of the sky and in the corner of the earth, acquaintances are only scattered. Life is rarely about joyful gatherings, but there are many separations.
After the song was sung, if there were lingering sounds, Duan Rujun, Wei Yushang and others were already speechless with tears in their eyes, but Guan Wei sighed at the side: "Brother Chen, your singing is better than that of Li Jia, the top brand of Wanqi Lou"
That little bitch sounds much better, if you go to Wanqi Tower to keep it, you will be a big number one!"
"You brat, what's Wanqilou's top card? How dare you talk nonsense to His Highness the Sixth Prince? I won't break your legs when I get home!" At this moment, an old man suddenly rushed in from outside the door, cursing at the back of Guan Wei's head.
"Pa" means a slap.
''Dad, why are you here?" Seeing the old man Guan Wei stood up in a hurry.
"Hurry up and apologize to the Sixth Prince!" The old man reached out and pressed Guan Wei's head.
Before Chen Xiaomu could recover, a large group of people poured in outside the door. The leader was his wife Su Xingran, followed by Prime Minister Wei Wen, Minister of War Lu Qian, Commander of the Royal Forest Army Lu Jun and others.
Su Xingran glanced at Chen Xiaomu, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Husband, my father is going to search the entire New Capital City to find you, but I didn't expect you to be hiding here singing to make my sisters happy!"
"Wait a minute, you said he is the sixth prince?" Mr. Duan looked at Guan Wei's father with disbelief and asked.
"Old friend, let me introduce you!" At this time, Wei Wen walked over from behind with a smile and said to Duan Rujun: "This is the husband of our Princess Zheng Guo Qingfeng, His Highness the Sixth Prince Chen Guo."
"This...this!" Duan Rujun was stunned by the sudden change and started stuttering.
Chen Xiaomu saluted Duan Rujun and said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Duan, I just came out from Jianghu. I was just looking for a place to have a good meal, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet him here."
Fuck Mr. Duan!"
Duan Rujun did not care about Chen Xiaomu's concealment of his identity but happily said to Chen Xiaomu: "The Sixth Prince is so talented that it may be God's arrangement to meet you before returning to Dali Kingdom.
"Haha, old friend, we have a double happiness today. Firstly, the sixth prince escaped from the gangsters successfully. Secondly, our old friend reunited after many years and you accepted your daughter as your disciple. Now Her Royal Highness the Princess is here, why don't we meet again?
Arrange a banquet to celebrate!" Wei Wen stepped in and suggested.
Duan Rujun smiled and said: "Old friend, you are wrong. In fact, it should be the third time of happiness. I just asked Yu Shang to become my teacher to His Highness the Sixth Prince. I want to teach the Sixth Prince with his amazing talent. It will take less than a year.
Yushang will definitely make a mark!"
''Really?" Wei Wen said in surprise: "It's so lucky for my little girl to have two talented people as her teachers! What my old friend said is right, today is really the third time for happiness!"
"Wrong! Prime Minister Wei, speaking of it, today should be a day of four joys!" Chen Xiaomu said with a smile, "There is another joy that you can never expect!"
"Oh!" Wei Wen's face froze with a smile, and he asked with a smile, "If the Sixth Prince has any other happy events, you might as well tell them so that we can all be happy."
Chen Xiaomu walked to the window and looked downstairs. He happened to see a carriage slowly stopping in front of the restaurant. A woman in black clothes jumped out of the carriage first, then turned back and lifted the door curtain on the car.
Several more women got out of the car one after another. Chen Xiaomu turned around and smiled at Wei Wen and others: "Here they come, I'll go down and pick them up."
"Teacher, can I go with you?" Wei Yushang immediately asked Chen Xiaomu.
Duan Rujun waved his hand and said: "The person who allows His Highness the Sixth Prince to go downstairs to pick him up in person must have an unusual identity. Why don't we all go downstairs with the Sixth Prince to greet him? This will also show our prudence!"
"Okay, okay, let's follow the Sixth Prince to pick him up!" Duan Rujun's suggestion immediately attracted everyone in the room to agree.
Chen Xiaomu quickly handed over his hands to everyone and said, "No, no, Prime Minister Wei and Lu Shangshu are all important officials of the imperial court. I am going out to meet my friends. I'm afraid if I spread the word, it will be hard to say or not!"
When everyone thought it was indeed reasonable, they had no choice but to give up. Chen Xiaomu jumped up and down and ran downstairs. He was afraid that the shopkeeper downstairs would try to stop Wei Yuxin again, just like he did when he stopped him. He was a man who wandered around the world all year round.
But without his good temper, if Wei Yuxin is angered by the shopkeeper, it is not impossible to kill him with a knife!"
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Wei Yuxin and several women being stopped from entering the restaurant. However, this time it was not the waiter who stopped him, but two soldiers with swords on their waists.
He walked towards them and was gesturing with his hands, as if he was saying something to them. Two shop assistants not far away stretched their heads and looked this way.
"What's going on?" Chen Xiaomu walked up from behind Jun Bing and asked as he walked.
The two soldiers looked back when they heard the sound, and quickly raised their hands to salute him. One of them even stepped forward to hold his hand and said eagerly: "Your Highness, you don't recognize me? I am Wang Wu!"
"
When he saw the two of them raising their hands in salute, Chen Xiaomu concluded that these two people must be members of Su Xingran's princess escort team. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one in today's world would perform the military salute he brought from another world in the future.
Chen Xiaomu took a closer look at Wang Wu and found that he was unshaven and his face was much older than when they broke up more than two months ago. He vaguely remembered that he had also appointed him as the captain of the aviation team at that time!
"Why are you still raising your hands? Didn't the princess ask you to change it?" Chen Xiaomu asked with a smile.
Wang Wu shook his head and said: "The princess said that the establishment of the Princess Guards, including the various official positions and etiquette held by Her Highness at the time, are not allowed to change. Baote will not change!"
Chen Xiaomu said humorously: "Then your current official position is still the captain of the aviation team I gave you?"
Wang Wu rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Your Highness, to tell you the truth, the entire Princess Guards, including the princess herself, don't know what exactly you are planning to do by granting me this official position. I should be responsible for those things.
But the princess didn't let her change, so Commander Lu had no choice but to ask me to lead dozens of my brothers to stand guard outside for the princess!" Wang Wu said, pointing to his front, back, left and right.
Following Wang Wu's gesture, Chen Xiaomu suddenly discovered that dense sentries had been placed around the entire restaurant, and from time to time, groups of soldiers would hurried past them carrying long guns.
"They are friends I invited here. Is it okay for me to bring them in?" Chen Xiaomu pointed at Wei Yuxin and others and smiled.
"Oh, it turns out they are guests invited by His Highness!" Wang Wu suddenly said: "Your Highness, you see they didn't tell me, otherwise I would have let them in!"
Chen Xiaomu patted Wang Wu on the shoulder with his hand, "Do a good job, and I will transfer you back to me when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Hey, okay!" Wang Wuxiang agreed quickly, bent down to Wei Yuxin and others in a gesture of invitation, and said: "Misses, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that you were invited by His Highness.
Guests who are coming, please come in with His Highness now!"
Wei Yuxin nodded slightly at Wang Wu, then led Zhou Huiniang and others past Chen Xiaomu and walked towards the restaurant. When Zhou Huiniang passed by, he noticed that Zhou Huiniang's slender neck was wrapped in a thick layer.
There were still blood stains on the clothes, which were covered with a layer of black cloth. Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but frown and asked Wei Yuxin softly, "Did you get into trouble when you went to rescue them just now?"
Wei Yuxin said calmly: "The small matter has been resolved."
Chen Xiaomu nodded, turned around and waved to the two shop assistants who were watching from a distance, "You two come here, I have something to tell you!"
The two shopkeepers saw the way Wang Wu was respectful to Chen Xiaomu just now. Although they were far away and could not hear clearly what they were talking about, they also knew that this guy in untidy clothes was their kind of person.
The master who was absolutely untouchable, now that he saw Chen Xiaomu greeting them, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, trot over cautiously, bowed and stood in front of Chen Xiaomu, and said with a forced smile: "Master, if you have anything to do, please tell me.
Do it!”
"Go and arrange a private room, and give me the best food and wine in your restaurant!"
The two waiters looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Uncle, a good banquet on the table in our restaurant will cost at least nearly one hundred taels of silver. You see..."
"Is this enough money?" Chen Xiaomu reached out and took out a wad of banknotes from his chest, shaking them in front of the two shop assistants.
"Enough, enough!" The two shopkeepers probably have never seen so much silver in their lives, but they know that ordinary people usually use copper plates and cash for transactions, and only those with a transaction amount of more than one hundred taels of silver can do so.
It is possible to use banknotes, because cash of more than 100 taels is too heavy and is very inconvenient to carry. I think this stack of banknotes, even if the minimum denomination is 100 taels, must be more than 1,000 taels.
Yinzi, their faces suddenly felt like spring breeze, and their smile lines opened up, and they assured Chen Xiaomu: "Master, just take a look, I guarantee that everything will be arranged for you."
Chen Xiaomu signaled Zhou Huiniang and her maids to go in with the shopkeeper first, leaving Wei Yuxin alone, and pulled her to a secluded place, and asked her solemnly, "Wife, tell me the truth, are you the original one?"
A native of Lu?"
Wei Yuxin stared at Chen Xiaomu in surprise when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
"I want to confirm something I have suspected!"
"What's going on?" Wei Yu couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
Chen Xiaomu shook his head, "I can't tell you until it's implemented, so just tell me whether it's okay or not.
Wei Yuxin nodded silently.
"Okay, let me ask you again, do you have an older sister or younger sister?" Chen Xiaomu continued to ask.
"How did you know?" Wei Yuxin looked at Chen Xiaomu in surprise.
Chen Xiaomu nodded and couldn't help but said to himself: "That's right. Is her name Wei Yushang? And your father's name is Wei Heng?"
Chapter completed!
