Chapter 593 Expensive
After receiving the name card, Xiao Lingyao couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Bai of Bai Lianzhou, this is really rare. The Bai family is now in the limelight, has successfully escaped disaster and kept the position of deputy prime minister, and yet he comes to curry favor with you, an unfavored five-year-old.
Prince."
Whether he wanted to curry favor with Zuo Pingdao in the past to dig out old information about the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister from Dali Temple, or later exposed the account books to seduce the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister, it didn't seem to be a very smart move. However, his luck was good, and the Tang Prime Minister was gone, and Bai Beitang was still secure.
took the position of Deputy Prime Minister.
Compared with being implicated and accused, the Bai family is the winner now, if we exclude Qin Feng who took revenge.
The visitor was a guest, this was the inner room, and the meeting place was on the side. Zhao Lun stood up immediately and glanced at Qin Feng and Sister A at the same time. They really got it right. People like him were not immune to this.
The beloved prince also has people coming to fawn over him!
Bai Lianzhou has been invited to Hebeitang, which is the place used by the front palace to receive guests. He had inquired about the origin of this mansion before coming here. Sitting here, he only felt a chilly feeling and he couldn't help but shrink.
Neck.
Well, his father always sent him to do such things, either to curry favor with Zuo Pingdao or to show favor to the fifth prince, no matter what, he was always the one doing it.
If he doesn't do it well, he gets scolded, and if he does it well, he doesn't get any good results.
In particular, his father has been full of praise for Zuo Pingdao recently, wishing that he was his biological son. Thinking of this, Bai Lianzhou became upset, why was it Zuo Pingdao who reminded his father not to resign?!
Just as he was lost in thought, a figure walked in fiercely. Bai Lianzhou felt like his face was being blown by the wind. He suddenly woke up and looked at Zhao Lun in front of him blankly.
He was also stunned, and it would be difficult to change for a while. After all, the man in front of him was competing with him for the Prince Consort not long ago!
Now that Zhao Lun had transformed into the fifth prince, Bai Lianzhou couldn't help but blush a little. He stood up and greeted him: "I have met the fifth prince, and my father heard that the fifth prince moved to the palace. He specially ordered me to send you a gift to congratulate your highness on your move."
Zhao Lun's eyelids twitched, was it a housewarming celebration?
Who doesn't know that he left the palace in a hurry and didn't even get a title? He looks like an unpopular thing at first glance. Did the Bai family want to come over to get a good deal because of their brains being kicked? Or did they have other motives?
Fortunately, there is a brother-in-law... Bah, fortunately there is Qin Feng and sister's explanation. He said calmly: "Master Bai's visit surprised me. I can't remember the last time we met."
Bai Lianzhou's mouth seemed to be glued and he couldn't open his mouth. Is Zhao Lun so good at talking?
This is nothing more than saying that they are not familiar with each other. They can’t even remember the last time they met. This shows how unfamiliar they are!
Bai Lianzhou was originally unwilling to meet this former competitor. Now his face was slightly hot after being ridiculed, and he said bravely: "Your Highness's visit is unexpected, please forgive me."
Zhao Lun came in and saw the so-called congratulatory gift, not because he cared about the silver after listening to his sister's words, but because this congratulatory gift was so carefree and could not be ignored, and it was not easy for him to ignore it - it was such a gorgeous screen.
Zhao Lun can only use the word gorgeous. After all, he prefers martial arts. Unlike his sister, who is both civilized and martial, and has poor language, just seeing this screen can tell you one word - expensive!
The screen is made of old huanghuali and is inlaid with various gems, gold and silver. If you look closely, you will find ivory ornaments hidden in several hidden corners. Among other things, this ivory is imported and not produced in East Vietnam.
The Bai family's wealth is really rich.
Bai Lianzhou kept looking at Zhao Lun's expression and saw that he couldn't help but show shock, feeling both happy and contemptuous in his heart.
Fortunately, this gift was chosen well, and it could at least make the fifth prince take a look. What is disdainful is that although Zhao Lun suddenly became the fifth prince, he had lived in poverty before and probably had not seen many good things. A screen was enough.
It surprised him.
Zhao Lun looked at the screen and cursed in his heart. If they relied on salary alone, the Bai family and his son would not be able to buy such a screen in a year. They are corrupt officials and thieves!
Now that he thought of his sister accepting it politely, he felt no regrets at all, and generously held his hands in his hands and said: "Thank you very much, Deputy Prime Minister Bai, for your kindness. I have the audacity to accept it. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Bai."
Bai Lianzhou was ready to refuse, just in case Zhao Lun refused to accept it, but he accepted it quickly, without any trace of embarrassment or words, and the words he originally planned were stuck in his throat.
Not coming out.
"Why, it couldn't be that Mr. Bai is reluctant to let go at the moment?" Zhao Lun glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "If you regret it, it's okay to ask your servants to move back to the Bai Mansion now. I don't care about it like that.
people."
Bai Lianzhou cursed his mother in his heart. No one could be more sarcastic than this one. He forced a smile: "Your Highness is joking. This screen is a gift carefully selected by my father. It is also a sincere gift. How can it be wrong?"
The reason for moving back.”
"That's good." Zhao Lun immediately called Cao Jing in: "Eunuch Cao, ask someone to come over and take it to the warehouse. Be careful not to drop it."
There are so many gems inlaid on it that it would be painful to knock one off.
Cao Jing came in with a smile on his face and brought four servants behind him. The four of them carefully moved the screen away.
Bai Lianzhou was drinking tea and felt inexplicably depressed today. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the screen, but he felt that Zhao Lun's reaction was a bit strange. He had no grudges and no defense, and he was as straightforward as he used to be when he was a military envoy.
Thinking of his father's explanation, he felt that this was fine, as he was not very smart and easy to control, but he was better than the second and third princes. Even the fourth prince, his father was not sure whether he was really hiding from the world or pretending to be innocent.
Seeing that Bai Lianzhou showed no sign of leaving, Zhao Lun coughed lightly and said: "I have accepted the gift from your house, so I shouldn't treat you lightly. Unfortunately, my sworn brother came to visit today and is still waiting for me in the inner room. I can only aggrieve Lord Bai today."
Okay, can I invite you to drink some other time?"
Bai Lianzhou was really aggrieved this time. He had the guts to give such a big gift, only to get a cup of tea, and was immediately kicked out. Even though he had learned the tact of the official clan, he couldn't hold back the embarrassment on his face.
Fortunately, he held on. When he stood up, he suddenly thought that Zhao Lun's sworn brother was Qin Feng. His brows suddenly jumped: "It turns out that Mr. Qin is here. What a coincidence. He is also here to send gifts?"
A congratulatory gift? Thinking that he had brought Sister A, Zhao Lun reluctantly said: "Exactly."
Bai Lianzhou vaguely felt that he had captured something, and he was no longer embarrassed this time. He hurriedly said goodbye and left. Zhao Lun was in a good mood and hurried back to the inner room to find Sister A and the others. In fact, Qin Feng and the others had overheard the scene just now.
When they moved the screen to the warehouse just now, they turned around and took a look. Qin Feng was happy. Xiao Lingyao reminded him in time. Zhao Lun was indeed a sister-in-law, and he was obedient! He put it away without saying a word, and picked out the gems and ivory on the screen to remove it.
It's worth a lot of money once it's sold.
