Shen Ao had a good sleep, got up, had breakfast, and then went to Wangyou Mansion.
Since the last time Shen Ao helped the eldest princess clear her name and rescued her from the prison, the relationship between the two has rapidly heated up.
I don’t know whether it’s because the more I look at Shen Ao, the more I like him, or because the more I look at him, the more I like him. The eldest princess always thinks that Shen Ao looks a bit like her royal brother when he was young.
This time when Shen Ao appeared in Wangyou Mansion, the eldest princess kept looking at him, which made Shen Ao feel a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, there is nothing beautiful about someone's face."
"Haha, why don't you look good? Who in Daliang City doesn't know that Duke Zhongguo is the most handsome young man? I don't know how many girls are lying awake at night because of you. How about you, do you want me to tell you about your marriage? How about finding a few concubines and making sure they all look like one of the best?"
Seeing the eldest princess teasing him about the marriage, Shen Ao was defeated. "Okay, Your Highness, I'm convinced, or should I stop talking about this matter. How can Your Highness watch the bank affairs?"
Shen Ao is already seventeen this year. According to his agreement with Emperor Qianwen, he will marry the fifth princess when he is twenty years old. When he thinks of this matter, Shen Ao becomes worried. The eldest princess mentions this matter again. Why? Can it prevent him from being bored.
Fortunately, the eldest princess only said it jokingly. When it came to serious business, she was as serious as a different person, "Mr. Zhongguo, you are not in Daliang City this time, but there are many People are plotting against banks, you don’t know how hateful those people are..."
The eldest princess inevitably nags and accuses her. In the end, she clearly expresses her attitude, that is, people who want to add insult to injury and take advantage must not be treated lightly. If they always think of taking advantage, they should be punished properly this time. They have a layer of skin and let them also taste the feeling of being hit by others.
Shen Ao naturally agrees with this point of view. As a man, he has always been respectful to others. If people want to step on him, then he must step on them to strike.
After learning the eldest princess's point of view and knowing that the other party would fully support him in this matter, Shen Ao felt relieved, and after letting go of a lot of fine furs, he left.
As soon as Shen Ao left, the eyes of the eldest princess who was sitting there showed confusion. "Why does it seem that there is something really like the emperor's brother? Is it an illusion? Alas, it would be great if he was really the son of the emperor's brother. , then he is the prince and has the right to inherit the emperor's brother's great cause. If this is the case, he will definitely support it with all his strength.
Naturally, Shen Ao didn't know what the eldest princess was thinking. After leaving Wangyou Mansion, he took people to Prince Zhong's Mansion.
Knowing that Shen Ao was coming, Crown Prince Tang Yi had been waiting at the gate. When he saw Tang Yi's figure from a distance, Shen Ao quickly got off the carriage and walked a few steps quickly, "Brother Yi, why do you need to wait?" Here, I really become my younger brother."
"Oh, it should be. You are now a great hero who defeated the barbarians. You should be waiting here for your brother." Tang Yi smiled, and then looked at his right leg intentionally and said: "Besides, Just standing here is like exercising, so why not?"
"Haha." When talking about this prosthetic leg, Shen Ao also had a smile on his face, "Brother Yi, it seems easy to use."
"It's very good. When I used it before, it still felt like it was polished. But now I'm used to it. After a layer of cocoon came out, everything was fine." As he spoke, Tang Yi deliberately raised his right leg, and sure enough, It's much more flexible, and it's protected by a trouser leg. I'm afraid people who don't know it don't know it's a prosthetic leg.
"Okay, okay." Shen Ao smiled with satisfaction. Then he entered Prince Zhong's Mansion. In the courtyard, Tang Yi asked emphatically about the war with the barbarians.
Although Tang Yi has leg problems, he has been learning the art of war. Due to physical reasons, he cannot go to the battlefield in person, but he is a person who likes to talk about war on paper. This time after hearing that Shen Ao defeated the barbarians and returned to the court, he I have always wanted to meet him in person and ask questions I care about.
Shen Ao didn't come yesterday, so he had been looking forward to the day. Fortunately, he also knew that Shen Ao had just returned to the city and had a lot of things to be busy with. If Shen Ao didn't come today, he was afraid that he would come to "kill" him.
Shen Ao naturally knew everything about Tang Yi's eagerness for knowledge. Except for not mentioning the use of sky thunder on the battlefield, he told everything else in detail. Tang Yi was very excited when he listened. I wish I was on the battlefield and could command thousands of troops.
After talking about what happened on the battlefield, Tang Yi still looked very excited and said that if there was a chance, he would go to the battlefield himself. Although he could not kill the enemy, it would be good to be a strategist and command the army.
Naturally, Shen Ao would not stop Tang Yi from having such a wish. He smiled and said that Brother Yi would definitely become a famous person, which made Tang Yi laugh out loud.
Next, Shen Ao took the initiative to change the topic and asked about road construction. Tang Yi had naturally made preparations in advance and said that things were going very smoothly and his father was very supportive. Not only that, he also conveyed that his father wanted to build a road in Liaoning. The state handles bank matters.
Shen Ao naturally strongly supports this. He knows very well that if the bank really wants to be accepted by people all over the world, it needs to bloom everywhere. If it is only in one place, the limitations of banknotes are too great, and it can only be promoted , in order to exert its power.
"Okay, that's it. I will reply to my father and ask him to arrange for someone to come to Daliang City to learn the scriptures." Tang Yi agreed with a smile.
Shen Ao also knows that building a bank cannot be completed overnight. It must involve gold and silver, and there are many aspects that need to be paid attention to. Having said that, the problem of the bank in Daliang City has not been completely resolved, and How could he open the next store immediately? He smiled and nodded and said yes. He said that people sent by King Zhong could enter Daqian Bank to study, and he would open the door to convenience.
...
Zhongguogongfu.
In the living room, Shi Zitong was sitting there with his head bowed. Opposite him, Fan Shixi, the head of the Fan family, was also sitting there.
Perhaps it was because they belonged to two camps in the first place. There was no dialogue between the two of them. They both looked serious and nervous, each thinking about their own concerns.
This lasted for nearly an hour. Finally, at noon, Shen Ao returned to the Zhongguo Palace. After learning that these two people were waiting for him, he went straight to the living room.
He could not see Shi Zitong, but Fan Shixi had to give him face.
This is not to say that Fan Shixi has an elder brother Zuo Pushe, but this time while all parties are trying to find ways to suppress Daqian Bank, the Fan family has never taken any action. I have no intention of getting back the tens of millions of taels of silver.
Being able to make such a choice under such a situation was indeed beyond Shen Aoren's expectations. Based on this, he had to sell the other party's face.
Returning to the mansion, Xue Fei and others dispersed naturally. In comparison, as Shen Ao became more powerful, his safety became a top priority. There were usually at least two hundred guards in charge of the mansion. The security is almost blind, and all suspicious areas are detected at any time.
With these people around, Shen Ao's safety is naturally greatly guaranteed, and Xue Fei doesn't have to follow him all the time. Girls also have their own things to do. For example, Xue Fei is now obsessed with embroidery and is following Bai Qiutong. Studying.
A girl's family should still look like a girl's family. Embroidery and women's work are one of the things that women should do. This is what Bai Qiutong said to Xuefei.
The latter was convinced after hearing this. She could feel that the gentle look in Shen Ao's eyes when he looked at Bai Qiutong was completely different from when he looked at her. This is not to say that Shen Ao doesn't like Xuefei. On the contrary, this woman The child is so heroic that men can't help but feel a desire to conquer.
If one thinks of conquering Xuefei, one thinks of protecting Bai Qiutong. In comparison, of course the latter one is more popular among girls.
Xuefei also wanted to make a change, so she learned embroidery from Bai Qiutong. She originally thought that Bai Qiutong was already a very good master due to her skillful hands, but she never expected that there would be a mountain higher than the other. Xu Qing appeared and showed off her skills. After mastering the embroidery skills, even Bai Qiutong felt inferior and felt like he was inferior.
His father, Xu Heng, was known as the leader of craftsmen, and he was also known for his ingenious workmanship and skillful hands.
Her mother, Mu Ling, was extremely skilled in her craftsmanship. When she was in Guzhou, she was unparalleled in her embroidery work. More than once, someone said that if Mu Ling went to the palace to become an embroiderer, she would probably have to die. Let those who claim to be handy be compared.
With such parents, Xu Qing has also developed a pair of skillful hands under the influence of her childhood. Although she is not as good as her mother, she is still much better than Bai Qiutong. I am afraid that given time, there will be a day when someone is better than her. .
Xue Fei returned to the inner courtyard and saw the scene where Bai Qiutong was asking Xu Qing for advice. He was really sincere in learning and serious in teaching.
Then Xuefei joined in, and the atmosphere became more lively. From time to time, Bai Qiutong and Xuefei would chat with each other, of course, Shen Ao was the main one. Ao is also full of curiosity.
It had only been less than two days since my brother Xu Hun came back. He said three sentences that were inseparable from Lord Zhongguo. Xu Qing's ears felt like calluses when he heard them, and it was impossible to remember them even if he wanted to. .
What's even worse is that the current Xu family has invested all their money in the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion. Because of Xu Heng's superb craftsmanship, he was favored by Shen Ao, and a courtyard was specially designated for his family to live in the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion. For this reason, Xu Heng's motivation In order to repay the favor of Duke Zhongguo, more importantly, what Shen Ao asked him to do was what he was extremely interested in.
Some people say that interest is the best teacher.
