After hearing the purpose of these two people coming, Shen Baoxu was very surprised: "Why do you think of the Qinglongtan fiefdom? It should be noted that this is the most fertile place among the Wu family fiefdoms. Even if Shen is willing to divide it, the Taifu
I’m afraid I won’t agree.”
Xue Zhong took out the Academy's hat and put it on: "The Academy also has a purpose in wanting Qinglong Pond."
But Shen Baoxu was not fooled: "Then please ask Xue Xingxing to tell Shen what happened. It's not that Shen is unwilling to help. Otherwise, when the master asked Shen and Shen couldn't tell anything, things would be bad.
Done."
Xue Zhong looked at Wu Sheng, and seeing that Wu Sheng couldn't think of a better excuse, he simply ignored Wu Sheng's advice and said, "To be honest, it's Fei who has fallen in love with Qinglongtan."
Hearing this, Shen Baoxu thought for a moment and finally nodded: "That's fine, Shen will just go for it."
Xue Zhong glanced at Wu Sheng: "Look, we still have to mention the Fei family, right?"
After leaving Shen Mansion, Xue Zhong asked: "Brother Sun, if the Wu family really makes an offer for this, how do you plan to accept it?"
For a Qinglongtan fiefdom with hundreds of households, how much money is needed to make up for the marriage? Xue Zhong didn't dare to think about this number. A few of them must be several thousand gold. He thought that Wu Sheng couldn't pay it anyway. As for himself,
I definitely can't raise much, at most a hundred gold, that's the limit.
Of course Wu Sheng knew that he couldn't get it, but when Xue Zhong proposed that Fei wanted the fief, he saw Shen Baoxu's reaction, so he thought about one thing and said: "Either Wu will reject it directly.
Either they spend very little money to get it, or they don't even spend any money, there should be no more than these two results. It all depends on their choice."
Xue Zhong thought for a long time and finally understood. He slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's the truth! Haha, it's my old Xue Yingming, so I have to mention Fei!"
Wu Sheng's prediction was good. Faced with this problem, Wu was making a difficult choice.
"Fei Wuji is testing the Taifu!" Shen Baoxu directly stated his point of view: "He is waiting for the Taifu to express his position."
Wu She was sitting in front of the case, motionless, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had entered samadhi during cultivation.
Shen Baoxu continued: "Jingrui agreed to marry his daughter and has already sided with Fei Wuji, so he has the confidence to attack the Taifu."
Wu She opened her eyes: "Fei Wuji knows my attitude. My two sons are both in the city and serve the prince loyally. What can I do?"
Shen Baoxu said: "People always change. This is what Fei Wuji wants to know - whether the Taifu will change."
Wu She asked: "What about you? Bao Xu, will you change?"
Shen Baoxu said: "There is one thing that Baoxu will never change. Everything he does is for the prosperity and well-being of Dachu. This is the thing that I will never change. For this reason, Baoxu can change anything else."
Wu She asked: "Then how do you think we can make Chu strong and healthy? Go to Qin or join Jin?"
Shen Baoxu replied: "Baoxu believes that whether we go to Qin or to join Jin, we need our great Chu monarchs and ministers to be united and consistent. If there is internal instability and endless internal strife, no matter whether we go to Qin or join Jin, we will eventually bow our heads."
, all praying for mercy.”
Wu She sighed: "Wu Shi has been assisting the crown prince for twenty years, how can he change his position at the drop of a hat? Moreover, Fei Shi is a treacherous and sycophantic person. If I, Wu Shi, don't control her, there may be great chaos in the future."
Shen Baoxu was silent for a long time and said: "The Taifu has good intentions, but others may not understand the Taifu's heart. What's worse, he may be like a tiger or wolf in the forest, which shows its fangs first when in danger."
Wu She said: "It's not that easy to touch the Wu family. My family is from a distinguished family. If you want to pounce on him and take a few bites, you will have to break his teeth!"
Shen Baoxu sighed softly and left. He went to the Yingdu Academy in person and told Wu Sheng and Xue Zhong: "Qinglongtan is a treasure of the Wu family and cannot be parted with. I ask for your forgiveness. Shen has done his best."
"
Xue Zhong was heartbroken and said to Wu Sheng, "You actually chose to refuse. It's so disrespectful to Fei! What should I do?"
Wu Sheng thought about it and said, "Let's go find Bo Pu."
Xue Zhong asked: "What should we do with him? If we don't get anything done, what's the use of looking for him?"
Wu Sheng said: "At least we tried our best. After all, Qinglongtan is not a fiefdom for us. Please ask Fei to re-price it."
The appointment with Bo Pu was at a wine shop by the White Dragon Pond. The scenery was quite beautiful, facing the stone bridge not far away, and the place where the banquet was held was in the pavilion by the pool.
Wu Sheng looked at the stone bridge opposite and the pavilion in front of him, and couldn't help but feel lost.
Bo Po laughed and said: "This was originally the village of Yonghou. After Yonghou entered the capital of Ying, he indulged in wine and sex, consumed a lot of money and could not make ends meet, so he separated this corner of his house to sell wine. The scholar-bureaucrats rushed to support him.
He will make a lot of money every day, and he will be called an expert in making money. Look, you two are walking, outside the white wall is the residence of Marquis Yong. I am waiting to drink and chat in the Marquis's mansion, it is really interesting, haha!"
To put it bluntly, this is Yonghou making money with his title. As the former leader of a country, his title is even higher than that of Chu Jun. Drinking and having fun in his house, laughing and talking, I have to say, it is really
A very exciting experience.
Wu Sheng looked at the white wall and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Living in troubled times, as a small country and a monarch, he couldn't make any mistakes. Once he made a mistake, Qingyu behind the wall would suffer.
In any case, I did my duty back then.
Xue Zhong informed Bo Pei of the Wu family's refusal to sell the Qinglongtan fiefdom, saying: "That fiefdom is the foundation of the Wu family. The Wu family is unwilling to sell it, and Sun Xingxing and I have nothing to do."
Bo Pei wondered: "I finally persuaded Fei Zuo Shi, and Fei Zuo Shi persuaded Fei Shaofu, and then agreed to exchange Qinglong Pond for Yan Luoshan. Now that things have gone wrong, I don't even have the face to go to Fei Mansion again.
Already."
Xue Zhongdao: "Both of us also know the difficulty of my brother's mediation, but if it were not difficult, I would not ask you, a capable person, to come out. I would also like to ask my brother to bother to deal with it again to see if Fei can change the conditions.
.”
Wu Sheng took out a wooden box beside him and said: "Twenty yi gold, just to express my feelings, and I will thank you after the thing is done."
Bo Pu was shocked: "How can this happen?"
Wu Sheng stuffed the box into his arms: "I can't let my brother travel in vain. How can I prevent it?"
Bo Pu reluctantly accepted it and asked, "What are your plans?"
Xue Zhongdao: "In fact, Yanluo Mountain is hundreds of miles away. There is no Yingdu in front and Yangzhou behind. Why bother to get a fiefdom there? We have discussed it and Fei Hong is getting married. We are willing to make the decision for Cui Ming. The two of them
Fei can choose any way to congratulate her."
Bo Pe said: "I would like to hear the details."
Xue Zhongdao: "Firstly, the Fei family does not produce an acre of land or a single penny, and does not need to spend a lot of time to take care of it. Every year, Runyan Luoshan produces 20% of its output; secondly, Cui Ming gave a thousand gold as a congratulation."
.how?"
Bo Po thought about it and said, "In this case, I will go to Fei Mansion again and explain the situation to you two."
Xue Zhong and Wu Sheng raised their glasses: "Thank you!"
